[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donfoster1974:
I know this is a long post.

Short version: New to MN/CM7. Screwed up install. Couldn't find certain things on XDA. Re-installed. Posting steps for those who might be searching for similar situations.

I was an autonooter only person and was patiently waiting for AN for 1.2.

But well... come on. I had to play with the ManualNooter. Read all the posts (twice).

After making a bootable SD card, I went to ManualNooter a few days ago.

Loved it. Then got greedy and wanted more.

Decided to try my hands at CM. Read lots of posts and decided to try the SD card CM7 route.

(Still not comfortable doing the eMMC route.)

Used the post here as my resource:

Originally had tried to put the below on system, but recv'd glitchy problems.

I'm completely sure that it was my ignorance that caused it - NOT the original post sited above.

[generic-sdcard-v1.3.img]

[update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed]

Glitchy keyboard (spastic would be more accurate).

No possible way to boot into recovery from SD card (I tried EVERYTHING listed on XDA, would just do a reboot, no recovery area)

Actually had "Reboot/Bootloader" as option. couldnt find any listing on XDA about that as an option.

So I decided to start over and use the following.

[generic-sdcard-v1.3.img]

[cm_encore_full-114]

[gapps-gb-20110613-signed]

The following are the steps I took - hopefully useful for anyone else who may have came across this or similar issues.

(I know it's super basic for some - sorry).

1. Generic SD Card image zip generic-sdcard-v1.3.img -> unzipped to get (generic-sdcard) in its own folder.

2. Win32DiskImager to write image file (Select source & destination. Click WRITE and YES).

3a. Moved Full RC to SDcard (cm_encore_full-114) - NO RENAMING

3b. Moved GApps to SDcard (gapps-gb-20110613-signed) - NO RENAMING

4. Use [MiniTool Partition Wizard Home] or [EASEUS] to resize partition. Should be (1.75Gb) as per stated by DizzyDen

5. Eject. Remove from PC.

6a. Install SD card into Nook

7. Power Up.

8a."Loading" (edges of words light black)

8b. Linux Install (w/ Penguin) - this includes GApps install

8c. Automatically Powers Down

9a. Turn On Nook.

9b. Green Cyanogen logo.

9c. Blank Screen

9d. Blue Rotating Cyanogen7 logo

10a. Setup Wizard

10b. Touch Android

10c. Skip setup

10d. Setup wifi

10d. Back

11. Setup Google Account

12a. Apps to install (may be able to skip this step - I just selected them all, I'm sure there are lots that aren't needed)

12b. Accept Market Terms

12c. Install Apps

12d. Add Google account

12e. Finish

12f. Recv'd the following message: "Sorry! The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

12g. Force Close

(Seems to have worked ok though)

UPDATING CM Build

1. Power off

2. Remove SD card from Nook

3a. Insert SD card into PC

3b. Move build (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-encore-signed) onto card in top directory, not changing name.

3c. Eject

4a. Insert SD card into Nook

At this point you might be able to do the hold Power + N, but I thought I would try the reboot/recovery option.

5a. Power Up

5b. Green Cyanogen logo

5c. Screen flashes

5d. Blue rotating logo

5e. System loads

6a. Hold Power to get to Reboot option. Select

6b. [Reboot Tablet] --> Recovery --> OK

6c. Reboots

7a. Green Cyanogen logo

7b. Linux Installation (Penguin) - No GApps this time because already installed.

7c. Automatically Powers Down

System loaded.

As it stands now, the NC is rocking and this is my info for my tablet.

- NookColor 1.2 (NOT Bluedot)

- ManualNooter 4-6-16

- 16GB SanDisk SD card

- Android Version: 2.3.4

- Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

- Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-encore

- Build Number: GRJ22

If I have made any errors, or there are things I could clean up. Please let me know.

My next step is to install some new OC Kernels. :)
