This is just a thank you to everyone. I was able to use the instructions to run CM10 on my wife's Nook Color. Just made one mistake and downlaoded the wrong version of gbapps so I ended up with an error with the android keyboard device. A search pointed to the potnetial problem and after starting over with the correct gbapps everything is working fine.

Right now I just have the basics installed per the first post. What else should I consider? Responsiveness of the Nook with CM10 seems to be OK but is there anything I can do to improve it?

Again Thanks.
[Nook Color General] KamikazeChris:
Alright, haven't been able to figure out my issue, I can only assume it's a write issue to the SD. I'm using winimage, your new rev5 file, I read through the entire original VG thread and didn't find any answers there, skimmed here and found nothing either.

So, my issue is, with the sd installed in the nook with the image file burned to it, I can't get it to boot at all, I can only assume winimage isn't working properly for me, once I came to this thread, OP says not to use write disk, but to use "Restore Virtual Disk Image to physical drive", which doesn't do anything. Nook software vs. is 1.4.2 if that matters at all.

Don't use winimage. Too many people have trouble with it. Use win32diskimager.

Re: [HOW TO] Updated Installation Instructions for Installing CM9/CM10 to SD

I just added these instructions to the OP.

To use Win32DiskImager, find it on the web (it's free) and install it on your Windows PC. Open it and select the drive (device) that has your card reader with your SD inserted. Then in the image file box put the location where you have the extracted img file. Then when everything is set right, click on the write button. A warning will pop up asking if you want to proceed. Click on Yes. If you get an error message about access denied it means you are looking at the drive with Windows Explorer. Close Windows Explorer and try again.

Re: [HOW TO] Updated Installation Instructions for Installing CM9/CM10 to SD

Then there is something wrong with your card reader. The first version should recognize the card. I'm not really sure the second version is seeing it either, saying there is not enough room. What kind of card reader are you using? Built in or external USB? Can you see the card with Windows Explorer?

Okay, that worked, now I just gotta see what the end result is once installed in the nook.

One more question, maybe I've read it wrong, but, from my understanding, I now have the boot image properly installed on the sd, now, I need to put my CM file on there too, then install into nook and boot up, or I thought I read somewhere else, install sd before CM file is on sd card, then once it runs it's course, put CM file on and run again?

*nope, didn't work, neither phone, nor computer recognize the sd, they all say it needs to be formatted.

Only way to do this is with an external card reader? Are there any other options? ADB?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Re: [HOW TO] Updated Installation Instructions for Installing CM9/CM10 to SD

Some can make the internal reader work, but I guess not yours. I know of no other way. You can use other PC s or other operating systems, but it must be burned somehow.

And once you get it burned, you can put the cm rom on first or boot first, it does not matter.
[Nook Color General] KamikazeChris:
Any card reader in particular? When the .img file is properly burned to the sd card, it'll just display a few files, correct? Then once installed in the nook and after it does it's thing, there will be a boot partition? Is my understanding correct?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Re: [HOW TO] Updated Installation Instructions for Installing CM9/CM10 to SD

It does not matter the brand of card reader. And there will only be 4 files there. Even after it is correctly burned and installed on the nook, you will only see a small boot partition when you insert it in your card reader and it will still only have a few files.

If you want to learn more about the card for the SD install read my item B10 in my NC tips thread linked in my signature.

Can't get the Nook to boot from the SD card

Had a Nook Color running CM7 off of a SD card. Worked great. Loved it. Lost it. Bought a new one and I'm trying to get it running CM10, using the instructions in this post. I'll be a bit pedantic, in case I did something stupid...

32G SanDisk MicroSD. Claimed to be class 4 when I bought it, though I can't see anything to prove that on the card. Plugged it into my Ubuntu desktop via a USB reader, and found it on /dev/sdd:

/dev/sdd1 31154688 32 31154656 1% /media/6662-3336

Downloaded generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-larger-Rev5.zip from this post. Unzipped it. Wrote it to the device:

dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-larger-Rev5.img of=/dev/sdd bs=1024k

Ejected and re-inserted. Now I have a 300M partition named boot:

/dev/sdd1 304588 8108 296480 3% /media/boot

Got cm-10-20130120-NIGHTLY-encore.zip from the encore nightlies. Got gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip from the site linked here, as it was the version suggested for Android 4.1 (you mentioned above not to use the 4.2; I assume this is still true with the encore nightlies?) Copied both to /media/boot, still zipped. Eject and install the SD card in the Nook. Booting - including using the various tricks I half-remember from my old Nook, like holding down the power button waiting for a flash, or pressing and holding the n button during the boot - goes direct to B&N os (whatever its called) without any sign of a boot menu or Liinux install.

Edit: card and relevant zip files are visible from the B&N os.

My next guess was to try a different SD card, but I wanted to check to see if I'd done something obviously wrong first. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help,

- rob.

Huh. Just tried that (and no, I can't explain why I had the bs param in there in the first place, except force of habit *forehead smack*); same results.

If I look at the raw data on the card, is there something I can look at to see if it has written correctly? Someone mentioned (possibly you; sorry read too many posts today) that a very specific byte has to be set to a particular value for it to register as bootable. They look the same to me, but perhaps I'm being naive to think I'm really seeing what they look like:

I can't really help you much with Linux. I have very limited experience. See this thread for how someone burned another of my images for another device. Sounds like what you were doing. I know others said to make sure you are burning to the whole card, not just the first partition.

Re: [HOW TO] Updated Installation Instructions for Installing CM9/CM10 to SD

The SD is ok, but you need to put the HD+ versions of the image files and ROM on it. With the HD+ you cannot put CM on internal memory, but you can put CM10/CM10.1 on SD much like in this thread.

Awesome! One of topic question, for the HD+ I only see rooted how to's. I want to do exactly what I did with the NC, bootable sd I can swap in and out, depending on what I want to run. Is there a link for the HD+ to do that?

Last question, is there a dual boot so you can choose which to boot from (internal or sd) rather than swapping sd card in and out depending? (this goes for boot NC and HD+)

Thanks a million! My mom was stoked on my success and my gf will be as well once I figure out the HD+

Bone stock NC 1.4.3 root issues

I have been reading and trying several different ways to root this dang NC with no avail. I have tried 2 different brand new sd cards, Win32 and disk imager separately. The problem I'm having is I make the image file which looks just like it should according the the screen shots I've seen, I copy the many different versions of CWM...making sure to leave the file zipped. When I power off the NC, insert the SD card, it never tries to boot from the card so I can install the zipped file. The NC just starts as usual, and writes the Nook files to the SD card as if I'm gonna use the card as external storage. What am I missing, Am I writing the wrong image file to work with the 1.4.3?

The Nook is registered as per instructions.

Re: [HOW TO] Updated Installation Instructions for Installing CM9/CM10 to SD

No, what you have on internal memory should not make a difference. It has to do with how the card was burned whether it will boot or not. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A9. It is important to follow those guidelines.

And you really have a Nook Color instead of the Nook Tablet, right?

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on Hybrid SD
[Nook Color General] ronjans:
yes its a color indeed. what you mean with item A9?

find it,

It is very difficult using normal formatting programs and partition managers to make that happen. That is why devs include burnable images to burn to the cards if they are to be bootable. Examples include eyeballer's bootable CWM card, verygreen's SD installer card, racks' dual boot SD card and my new bootable CWM version 5.5.0.4 in item A10 below. They have the images all set up so that when burned properly the first partition is configured so it can boot.

But even when using these images they do not always work if they are not burned to the card properly. The cards may be readable in the PC, but do not always boot in the Nook. In Windows, most devs recommend using winimage or win32diskimager run in administrator mode. Also if using winimage, do not select "write disk", select "Restore Virtual Disk Image to physical drive". In Linux or OSX, use the "dd" command. And they recommend using an external USB reader rather than any built in readers in the PC. Sometimes it is just the card you are using causing the problem. And sometimes you can get them to boot if you plug your stock USB cable and powered off Nook into your PC. Wait a few seconds and it might boot.

And you too are sure you have a Nook Color, not a Nook Tablet? You call it a Nook Color Tablet. Does it have a silver bezel? It should be black.

And what the card was used for previously should not matter. But you can try formatting first with SDFormatter, free on the web.
