That was the correct repartitioning script to use. The "8xreset" is unnecessary. Are you sure you did the reformatting step? Do the repartitioning (5GB/1GB), again, and reboot (but only once) and then do the reformatting.

Nice write up DeanGibson

About to embark on bumping my oldy from 1GB/5GB to 2GB data.

I was just checking my G S2 Skyrocket, its got 2 GB data and 11-12GB media, come to think of it all my high memory phones have divvied up the memory in a similar way. The data partition is never that big (1-2GB).

Anyone know why?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Yes, B&N wanted room for their kids books, which are really interactive apps. And I guess they can get kind of big. They were always running out of space on their old 1GB setup.

Hey everyone, great post but i am having a hard time with the formatting the data process... I keep getting the "Error: can't format /data" error.... can some please help... I do apologize for the noob help question... :o
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Make sure you are using version 3.2.0.1 or newer of CWM. Earlier versions cannot format /data on the newer nook. If you need a newer version, you can get version 5.5.0.4 on my tips thread linked in my signature.

Is there a way not to use cd card at all after repartition? I'm on mirrage 7.2 rom.

Which version makes the Android running on a SD card work better? 5/1 or 1/5
[Nook Color General] lepa71:
I do have couple questions. My NC has 5gb data/ 1gb media partition. I'm wondering now:

1. How can I resize them without loosing data on them?

2. Can I reuse media partition as sd-card so I don't have to have external sd card?

3. How do you transfer file into NC(one of those partitions) without sd card?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You cannot resize without losing data. You have to back it up first. Use your USB cable and connect to your PC to save the media stuff. This is the answer for your item 3 also. Then use clockworkmod recovery to nandroid backup the /data and restore after resizing.

You can do item two easily if you are running a CM Version. There is a setting for that. If you have stock you can run a script to make happen. I don't have a link but just search for it.

Rooted Boot Faster?

Great thread OP and everyone.

I have never rooted or installed CWM on my Nook to date, probably originally worried about warranty. I also never used the actual B&N Nook boot/software. I booted off CM7 from SD from day one and have loved it (not necessarily CM7, but my Nook android tablet!!!). I eventually switched from CM7 to MIUI and have loved that and been perfectly happy for a long time.

My warranty period expired long, long ago. My SD MIUI image I've been booting only has a 1Gb data partition and I have moved many, many apps to SD over time.

I see this thread and I am excited. I'm going to finally root my Nook and install CWM with the 5Gb data partition option. This I know.

My questions for everyone are:

1) Will my Nook boot noticeably faster from eMMC then it has from SD?

2) Can I make a backup of my SD boot and restore that to eMMC after rooting? (keep in mind that many of my SD boot apps have been moved from /data to SD)

Thanks all.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It will not be noticeably faster.

Yes you can backup SD and restore to emmc, but it is complicated. I can walk you through that if you want me to.
[Nook Color General] amoromete:

Repartition with ManualNooter 5

I've tried using these instructions a couple of times to repartition a NC that has MN5 but it has not been restoring my back-up so it works, leaving it unusable. I'm at the point of wiping it again and starting over for the third time, but thought I would see if anyone knows or thinks it is even possible to do this repartition for the extra storage if I'm using ManualNooter and not CM7 or similar root?

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work... with MN'd stock... you MAY have to stick with one of the two B&N standards... although I would it hard to believe they would put any sort of partitioning checks to their ROM.

I would try applying stock from leapinlar or myself... MN the ROM and restore your backup... I don't think the backup does any partitioning or anything like that.
[Nook Color General] Blondie72903:
I used Leapinlar's repartitioning zips, loaded stock 1.4.3 zip and ran MN5. I can't get the market to work and the BN apps won't work either, it says it's not a compatible device. So I ran the repartitioning zips again and tried loading stock 1.2 thinking I could then update to 1.4.3 from BN directly, but it's doing the same thing and won't recognize the zip from BN.

At this point I am ready to give up and my husband is sick of me messing with this every night. Is there a way just to go back to the original partitions, CWM 3.2.x and any version of stock so I can eventually update it to 1.4.3 from bn and stick with MN?

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It is not the partition size that is the problem. Did you run my format zip before you flashed 1.4.3? And did you register before you ran mn5?

[Nook Color General] Blondie72903:
I made a cwm 5504 sd

ran repair partitions 145678

rebooted

ran format partitions 5678

rebooted

flashed 1.4.3 signed zip

turned on and registered with bn, though it wouldn't let me download any apps from bn

ran manualnooter 5.08.20.basic.block_updates

then the market wouldn't update to google play and was only partial as android market, but I tried several fixes, like the ones noted in the MN instructions and they didn't work.

so I booted into cwm, did a factory wipe

ran repair partitions 145678

rebooted

ran format partitions 5678

rebooted

flashed nc-stock-1.2-signed zip

turned on and registered, tried to load 1.4.3 bn zip by usb (is that called sideloading, not sure) but it won't read the file automatically like it would have in the past. So I tried downloading any bn app and it won't download, saying it's not the right device or something like that. So I didn't even bother with the manualnooter, that is when I posted again.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You said after you registered that you could not download any apps. I think that is key. What did it say or act like when you could not do that?

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
CWM will not load stock B&N zip files... that's why we have to provide edited zips for them to be CWM loadable... I don't know your technical savvy, but in my signature is a thread on how to edit the stock zip to make it CWM loadable.... I assure you though, we can get you going with this thing... and as long as we can keep your frustration level down... you will learn a lot along the way.
[Nook Color General] Blondie72903:
Currently my nc says it is registered, software 1.2.0, with 5.23gb available storage.

If I open the BN tray, open apps and try to download a free one that I had prior to messing with the partitions and updates like dolphin browser, a window pops up that says "This item is currently not available for download to the product you are using." I can only hit OK. It lets me download a couple of books I previously had and I can open them to read, but I get the same error message when I try to download and open a magazine that I have. It's almost like it doesn't think I have a nookcolor.

While I wait for your reply I am going to redownload the files incase something in them is corrupt and try wiping it again and installing again. But please let me know if you have any ideas. My hope is to have BN stock 1.4.3 with MN5, with old 5/1gb storage partitions and a fully working market, I give up the partitions if I had to to get this all working again.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Are you sure you got dolphin browser on the B&N store before? It is also available on Play Store. The version on B&N might not be available for the Nook Color. Try other apps to see if they work.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
[Nook Color General] Blondie72903:
Yes I promise I had the dolphin browser from BN store, I was surprised when I saw it in there too at first, I originally downloaded it when I first updated to 1.4.3 before ever trying the MN5 or repartitioning. I also tried downloading a game like Minesweeper and that didn't work either. I have since wiped and re-downloaded all the files. I just flashed the 1.4.3_signed and I am registered, it is reading the software version as 1.4.3, BN storage at .92GB and other storage at 5.23GB is that the correct partitions? It lets me download and read BN books and magazines with no problems but still no luck with the apps. When I go to my apps tab they show up on my bookshelf and say "purchased" when I go to the Shop area. When I click Download they act like they are downloading, it doe the gray lines, but then just goes back to the Download banner underneath. I'm going to try the Manualnooter5, if it works and I can get the Play Store working I would be fine with the BN apps not working. I will let you know if it works, otherwise I will wipe again and wait for your next idea.
[Nook Color General] Blondie72903:
I still had the same issues with the market after running the MN5, so I wiped again, ran your repartition zips and flashed a re-download of stock 1.2 to update to bn 1.4.3 directly but it is having the same issues as I said previously, I can read books, not magazines this time, and no apps, I am getting the "This item is not currently available for download to the product you are using." pop up again.

So I am hopelessly frustrated and awaiting anyone's wisdom and know-how. :crying:
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
The 1.2 is not froyo. It is an older version of android. And it may not be compatible with the magazines and dolphin. Were you able to update? If not that would explain why some apps said not compatible. Go directly to 1.4.3 (froyo) and try everything with that.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
[Nook Color General] Blondie72903:
No it would not read the update file. Before I tried the 1.2, I did try doing the 1.4.3 directly, I was able to register and read books and magazines but no apps from BN would work. I ran the ManualNooter5 and couldn't get the market to update to Play Store or to be anything but partial, so I gave up on it and wiped to try the 1.2.

[HD2 Android SD Development] dragonovus:
do i have to change it with something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ebliss:
Honestly, I am not quite sure how you should go about doing this. You might want to try extracting the working bcm4329.ko from the nand version and try it on the superram version. This file is found in system/lib/modules.

Once you have extracted out the file, you cannot just boot into the superram version to replace it because it won't be saved. You need to figure out which folder (under update/kernal_files from portadroid zip file) is used to create your system.ext2 and replace it from there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Zahurtex:
I am still having the same problem ... installed applications disappear after reboot but shows in the apps. with the sd card icon.

I downloaded the new portadroid 1.1 and installed hyperdroid 2.1 but still the same ... also my wifi conns. also not working I will have to copy ko files from prev. post. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] ebliss:
Try not to reboot. But to shut down.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragonovus:
thanks i will try :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ebliss:
You might want to try a simpler way and see if it works. create the folder root (if it is not present), and in it, create a folder "system", and in the system folder, create "lib" and in the lib folder, create "modules" folder. And place the .ko file into the modules folder. Do this in winmo. Then boot into Android. Hopefully the file is merged into the system.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
ebliss,

Despite shutting down instead of rebooting, I am facing the same problem of apps disappearing after the phone comes up.

Claus72,

When you suggested try with a new data.img, did you mean to replace the existing data.img that is created after the first boot with a blank data.img or something else?

This is what I did:

- After the phone rebooted and I got to the home screen, installed a couple of apps (GMail, Dialer One etc).

- Shut down the phone.

- Removed the SD card, hooked to the PC and replaced the data.img with a blank data.img.

- Inserted the SD card back to phone and started it.

- Screen stays on the "hTC" green logo for more than 30 mins, so I am guessing this is not the right way to go about it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Zahurtex:
I tried shut down instead of rebooting but still the same apps. shows in the manage application downloaded section only.

Regarding wifi its not working as well I copied the prev. ko files but did not work. Although it worked in prev. version of hyperdroid with pardroid 1 but now hyperdroid is also newer version 2.1 and portdroid also 1.1 its not working.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragonovus:
well i extracted the bcm4329.ko from the nand rom and replaced it with the one in the android/updatekernel_files/tytung_GB234/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

but i saw there was a android/update/portadroid_files/system234/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

.. do i have to replace that aswell?

if it's not working then i'll try your second advice.. and you say to creat a lib and modules folder.. but do i have to place the .ko file solo? i mean there are some other files needed in the models folder.. no?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ebliss:
To play safe, replace both files. If I am not wrong, if you are only using a nand version to sd version, portadroid_files/system234 will not be used. portadroid_files/system234 is used only when you are porting from Desire ROM to sd version.

The second method is actually easier.

The structure is as follows:

root

-system

--lib

---modules

Just place bcm4329.ko in modules folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Claus72:
No, I mean restart from the beginning with a new data.img created by portadroid and never don't use the reboot function.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Claus72,

Just to confirm if I understood you right -

- Copy Android folder from Portadroid's zip file.

- Copy META-INF and system folders to Android/root/<- here.

- Copy data.img to Android/<- here.

- Boot as normal.

Am trying this while I wait for your response.

[edit] - Tried the above, didn't make any difference to the problem of apps disappearing. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragonovus:
unfortunately i tried both advices but no succes.. i tried the second method but my device always restarted when trying to boot the rom from sd.. i guess i'll wait for some more updates or i'll go straight to nand.. :)

anyways.. thanks :)

You can use "EASEUS partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition" (free for win XP), for delete your Ext2/3.

After you delete your Ext2/3, you can format all your SD as FAT32 (64K).

Hi onlinegames & those who magldr users don't have wifi with Gingerbread

2.3.4

ROM only (eg. Hyperdroid CM7

2.1.0

), please try to apply the attached patch and see if it works.

How to apply this patch:

1) Unzip the "update" folder and "reboot" file into "/Android/" directory (ie same directory as the initrd.gz file.

2) Boot into Android with Magldr. After HTC green logo, it should auto reboot in less than 1 minute.

3) Boot into Android with Magldr a second time and try your wifi. If it hangs on this second boot at HTC green logo for more than one minute, take battery out and wait 30secs, then replace battery and boot android again.

Hope this helps... still looking into missing apps issue.
