CM 7.2 won't boot

I was a happy camper until today with CM7.2 on SD. While at work I charged my NC via another USB cord and that's where the trouble started. I had the Nook Froyo on my NC previously. So everytime I try to boot from the SDcard (CM7.2), the boot happens but after a while the screen goes blank and the Nook Froyo on my EMMC takes over. Looking for any pointers at this point of time.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It sounds like your SD boot partition got corrupted somehow while you charged. It now will not boot from SD and boots directly to emmc (froyo).

The solution is to reburn your SD and start over.

[Nook Color General] debteb:
Hey thanks leapinlar for the quick response. Am I better off with CM7.2 on the EMCC? I guess I'd have to wipe off the Froyo first (which I am open to).
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
If you don't use the froyo, yes CM7.2 is better on emmc. Just follow eyeballer's guide.

Great, thanks. I will follow this to install CM7.2 on the emmc..

Boot

Hello, So I used Win32diskimager to write the image (tried both rev 5 and 6), added the ROM & gapps but it but when I start the Nook it does not take, it boots as normal. Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong?
[Nook Color General] Carydc:
Which sd card reader are you using? That can make all the difference.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It can be many things that prevent the SD from booting. The NC is very finicky about how cards are prepared for booting to SD. Look at my NC tips thread linked in my signature and read item A9. It could be the card reader, the card itself, software you use, many things.
[Nook Color General] volpo222:
Hi, just wondering if there are any special instructions for booting from SD for 10.2.

I cannot get it to boot to Android after building a new SD card. I end up with the stock NC boot.

Also, is there any advantage of booting from SD over EMMC (besides retaining the stock NC)?

Thanks,

V
[Nook Color General] steven676:
The installer needs updating -- for reference, we now use /fstab.encore for mounting /system and /data instead of explicit mount commands in /init.encore.rc, so the device names now need to be changed in /fstab.encore instead of in the init script.
[Nook Color General] volpo222:
I know just enough to get it installed (and to get into the requisite trouble).

Thanks for the info.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Can you be more explicit about what needs to be changed? I have not looked at CM10.2.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook Color General] steven676:
In CM10.1 and older, we set up the filesystems in /init.encore.rc as follows:

on fs
# mount partitions
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /rom sync noatime nodiratime uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=117,dmask=007
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system wait ro barrier=1
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev barrier=1 noauto_da_alloc
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev barrier=1

Note the block device names are written into the mount commands -- this implies that the SD card installer needs to change /init.encore.rc in the initramfs (ramdisk) when installing.

For CM10.2, we do things differently:

on fs
# mount partitions
mount_all /fstab.encore

Where did the device names go? They've all moved into that /fstab.encore file, which looks like this:

#######################
#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options> <fs_mgr_flags>
# The filesystem that contains the filesystem checker binary (typically /system) cannot
# specify MF_CHECK, and must come before any filesystems that do specify MF_CHECK
######################
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system ext4 ro,barrier=1 wait
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,barrier=1,noauto_da_alloc wait,check
[...]

Basically, where the installer previously had to change /init.encore.rc to refer to SD card partitions instead of eMMC ones, it now needs to change /fstab.encore in the same way.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Ok, I will see what I can do.

Edit 8-28: The OP has now been updated with rev7 of the image zip. It works now on CM10.2 and all previous CM versions.

[Nook Color General] volpo222:
I'd like to try an install over my 10.1 sd card. Is there any way to do that? (Never mind I'll start from scratch)

Thanks,

V

Edit: Oh yah, do your alternates still work?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
There is only one file changed (uRamDisk). If you have a spare card to burn the rev7 image to, just copy the new uRamDisk file to your old card.

EDIT: The file needs to be renamed to uRecRam before copying to an older SD card that has already had CM installed on it.

[Nook Color General] steven676:
It may be worth packaging that file separately for the benefit of upgraders, then.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Thanks for the suggestion. I was considering doing that. I added it to the OP along with instructions.
[Nook Color General] volpo222:
Hi, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

I copy the uRamDisk file to the root directory of the installed 10.1.x card.

Copy 10.2.x and new gapps.

Replace the card in the NC and boot to CMW select SD Card Recovery.

I ask because I tried with my own version of the uRamDisk copied off of an imaged sd card and after the zips expanded, restarted to end up with a blank screen that ultimately led to the stock NC booting.

Did I do something wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks,

V
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Oh, you are right! I screwed up. To put it on an existing card that has CM already installed it must be renamed uRecRam. You can just rename it and it should work. I will fix the OP and edit that earlier post

[Nook Color General] volpo222:
Hi again,

It certainly works but there were 'inflate errors' and 'no room left' errors so I'm not quite sure what I have.

The clean install worked well and I have an image of it so I guess I'll go that way. The only reason I wanted to update over my original was the progress in games that I had.

If you feel this warrants investigation I'm game to try again with my 10.1.x image.

Thanks!

V
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Those inflate errors are not good. That aborted install may have screwed things up.

If all you want is your game progress then just try to save that.

You said earlier that you had my alternate CWM installed. You can do a nandroid backup of the old SD using CWM, then do an advanced restore of /data only to the new SD. That may work, but be prepared for it to not work. In other words, have the new setup backed up or plan on starting over.

[Nook Color General] volpo222:
I'll just quit while I'm ahead and restore my image from the clean install and move on from there.

ok...so i think i got everything right, I insert my sd card (16gb sandisk, had N2A on it, formatted it and started new), I can get the penguin and all the install files going, and if powers down. When I turn it back on, you get the boot screen, and then it sits there for about 20 seconds, blinks and boots up to the normal Nook Color.

Any tips on what I am doing wrong???

Slingplayer App

I was wondering if anyone has the Slingplayer app working on the Nook Color using any version of CM 10.1?

Mine just opens and sits as a black screen forever. When I tried to install the Slingplayer for Phones app, it plays the audio for a while, but still no picture.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the whole newer version Netflix app not working either.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

You do not take screenshots that way in CM10.1. You activate it in settings, system, power menu. Then when you want a shot, long press the power key and a menu choice will do it.

hi, i have a nook color with "1.42 stock ribbon root" and i'm triing to install the cm10.1 without success...

the nook never started from sd!

i tried to use a lot of sd and nothing happens...

so i burned the "generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-larger-Rev7", then put into the sd the "cm-10.1.3-encore" and "gapps-jb-20130812-signed"...

i tried also to use the "CWM-5.5.0.4-bootable_SD" (and newer) but the only one that starts using the recovery mode is the one containing in the file "cwm_sd_flashing_boot" (5.5.0.4!!!!!!)...

so after starting this version, i tried to install manually the cm (10, 7) but i have every time the error "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore".... Status 7.

i'm going mad! :D

can someone help me?

thanks

p.s. is possible that when i burn something, at the first boot the system try to start from sd and then a message of recovery is show to me after a while? i tried also to use goomanager but after the reboot, the system shows to me the same mask asking me if i need to reset the system (n for ok, power to skip)

p.p.s. after 10 hours i'm going mad, i tried to Mount (from cwm 5.5.0.4->cwm_sd_flashing_boot version) all the units and when i try to install the cm the installation seems to work... but after rebook i found a new screen that "restoring software settings" and the system boot again with 1.42 stock.....

Overwrote the wrong drive with Win32diskimager and ..Rev7.img

“One user overwrote their external USB hard drive by not verifying first”

I guess I’m the second one. And I didn’t learn from the experience but hey, $h.t..happens..

So I’m taking image of my 750GB drive at this moment, then I’ll try different recovery programs.

Also I’m thinking if there is any smarter way or possibility to recover with all the structure, since it has only crated 300Mb partition with just 10Mb data in it, I’m hoping that there is a way to complete recovery as if you would expect from the accidental formatting. With all the filenames and directory structure. Can anyone suggest a way of manually fixing FAT table and where to get the backup of the FAT? I realize that from 10 to 300 MB worth of file parts will be damaged completely, but the rest should be ok, no? Please suggest.

As of what happened.. What can I say, it was 3 o’clock in the morning, my NC wasn’t booting from the SD card for some unknown reason (still doesn’t), I’ve tried 100 times with different formatters, may be because of the adaptor I’ve used ( it was USB SD card adaptor which came with my eye-fi card and generic SD-MicroSD adapter). Also interface of the Win32diskimager could have been bigger and better, and could have warned me with the 3 sec. timer message in red color. But, obviously I have to blame myself, because it’s not first time and that’s why I didn’t break this NC :)

Notta.

First of all flashed your sdboot folder enabler, very cool.

Extracted from the 've7 and then copied and pasted to /sdboot. Reset once. Then tried installing 10.1.3 over and no go, same error. Says something about the file tables being wrong and then I think updating kernel then the gapps succeeds - boot loop proceeding :) Fortunately did a back up right before this so isn't really a big deal, just don't understand why it won't. Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

So yeah... factory reset did the trick, was able to install 10.1.3.

I guess I don't understand the diff numbers with clockwork, I thought the 4.2.2 i had installed was 10.1.2 based so all was good.. looking into it a bit more they seem to vary, 10.1.2, 10.1.3... i guess just not a solid compilation of sources but a mix of types? my assumption, idk for sure.. would of been cool to just do an update though

This is the reason you had all of the trouble trying to update over 4.2.2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45055309&postcount=11

This provoked a change in the SD card installer and unless you used the most recent img it would have never worked. A clean install did the trick for me too.

Frustrated newbie needs help please!!

So I've had my NC for a couple years. I rooted it way back when it was still running 1.0 and never really looked back. Well, it's been running sluggish lately and I took my sd card out to clear out some junk and lost the damn thing. So, I've got to start the whole root process all over again. In the mean time my system upgraded to the 1.4.3 B&N version and I thought that was interesting enough until it only let me download a half a dozen apps before telling me I was out of room. So forget that garbage and I'm back to realizing rooting is the only way to go to get the true "tablet" experience I want. So I've been roaming you tube and this forum all day for good clear instructions on how to get the latest android up and running. It all seems so pieced together or spelled out for very experienced rooters (which I'm not). So, I need some help. I went over to Taosaur's blog b/c it seemed to be written out much clearer but keep running into the same problem. After writing the generic-sdcard-v1.3-ICS-large-Rev3 file to the SD card it shrink down my cards data from 16 gb down to about 200 MB?? I vaguely recall this happening the last time I rooted but naturally can't seem to find any info on a fix. Because of this it won't let me then copy over the cm-10.2 and the gapps-jb zips. Any suggestions please??

You cannot use the Rev3 file for CM10.2. It is too small. You need to use the Rev7 image from the first post of this thread.

"No space left on device" error when flashing

Here's my story... I had a really old build of Jelly Bean (that wouldn't run Netflix) on my Nook Color (NC). Yesterday I successfully upgraded to the latest Stable build (cm-10.1.3.2-encore.zip). The good news was, Netflix worked for the first time on my NC; the bad news was that the whole NC froze up three times in about three hours' use of various apps.

So I decided to try the latest CM10.2 nightly (cm-10.2-20131229-NIGHTLY-encore.zip). I put it on the boot partition, booted into recovery mode... and only a few of the items in the .zip got inflated before I got this error:

unzip: write: No space left on device

unzip: inflate error

Now the NC doesn't boot CM at all... it just fails over to booting the stock Barnes&Noble OS.

I'm using a MacBook Pro to prepare the SD card. According to the Mac OS Disk Utility, my 16 GB SD card has four partitions:

1. "boot", Format: FAT32, 293 MB available, 19 MB used (before placing any .zips in that partition)

2. "disk3s2", Partition Type: Linux, Capacity: 485 MB

3. "disk3s3", Partition Type: Linux, Capacity: 2.02 GB

4. "SDCARD", Format: FAT32, 12.48 GB available, 619 MB used

What am I doing wrong?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
What is wrong is you are using an old version of the SD. You should really start over burning the latest image (8b) to the SD.

I am in serious need of help with this process.

I've been trying to get my wife's NC to root for a solid day now.

Here's what I'm working with:

Nook Color version 1.4.3

SD Card- Dane-Elec 8GB (high speed) (I tried it all day yesterday with a Sandisk 32GB card as well)

Using WinRar to extract all of the files from:

Win32Diskimager version 0.9

generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8b.img

cm-10.1.3-RC2-encore

gapps-jb-20130812-signed

I followed your instructions to the tee (I think).

When I install the SD card in my NC, it never even attempts to boot off the card and instead immediately boots to it's regular Nook Color home.

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Is the NC supposed to be completely reset before stating the process?

Thanks.

Do not use WinRar to extract the .IMG file. See the directions to burn the .IMG file directly to the SD card. Then copy the zip files to the card and insert into the Nook
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You talked about extracting files, but nothing about using win32diskimager to burn anything to the SD. I don't think you followed my instructions.
[Nook Color General] seanmcg:
I did use the Win32DiskImager. I had to use WinRar to extract the zip file so I could run the Win32DiskImager. I also had to use Winrar to extract the .img file from the zipped "generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-10.1-10.2-11-largest-Rev8b" file. Otherwise there was no .img file to write to the SD card.

Then I copied the unzipped ROM and GApp files onto the SD card.

Is that what I was supposed to do?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Yes, but that is not what you said you did in the earlier post. It is probably that cheap SD you are using. You need a SanDisk class 4.
[Nook Color General] seanmcg:
I'm sure this is a ridiculous questions, but how do I know it's a class 4 card? I bought the most expensive 16GB they had at Target.

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I know it's not a Sandisk, but I just read the back of the Dane-Elec package and it does say that the card is a class 4.

Are you sure there's nothing else that I'm screwing up?

Thanks, by the way, for these quick responses.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You do not want the most expensive, you want the cheapest Sandisk you can find. Class 4 is written on it in a little circle.

Edit: Brand is usually more important than class. Go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and read item A9.
[Nook Color General] seanmcg:
Can the Sandisk be too big to work?

I looked closely at the card I used yesterday and it's a Sandisk 32GB with a tiny 4 in a circle.

Also once I run the DiskImager, my SD card immediately shows less than 500MB of space instead of the 8GB or 32GB they each should have.

Is that some other issue, or is that normal when writing an image?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Size usually is not an issue. And yes the size reduction after burning is normal. I suggest you read my section A9 and try some of those suggestions, different card reader, run program in administrator mode, different PCs, etc. That 32 card should eventually work.
