CM10 only to sd card

What if I only want to run CM10 from my sd card on my Nook tablet? I'm currently using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 for my nook color with CM10. Would this also work for the Nook Tablet with different sd image and ROM. Gapps would be the same I think.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ajbiz11:
I would have to look at the scripts, but either, only make the CM10 partitions on your SD and only fallow the JB instructions

Or

Fallow all instructions, only flash JB and delete the other partitions and boot files, except he "BOOT" partition and resize the jb data partition to fill the SD

Meh, I just flash to internal, but this could be nice for keeping around CM7 and 9 while i try out 10.1

Or a ad card for use while I dev out a new version of Ubuntu...hopefully
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
I think I may have read simpler methods for just a single boot SD, (I'm trying to remember where) But you should be able to follow these steps all the way to the end of the CM7 partitions (remember I just named them that so just set up which ever rom you choose for this partition) then format the rest as FAT32 as in the last step.

jb rom updater-script copy fail

I get to step:

11. Go back to the SD_Boot folder that you extracted open SD_Boot, open SD_Boot, open CM10_Jelly_Bean, open p7, open rom,

12. click and drag the updater-script file to the place where you saw the updater-script in

the OPEND BUT NOT EXTRACTED rom and replace it.

but every time I try to drag the updater-script into the cm-10-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip as instructed, I get an error message

(see attached):

can't paste, copy, drag & drop. tried a million times.

anything??

thank you.

-------

figured it out - once I opened the files in winrar, the drag and drop was fine.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] satan89:
@ divorce - it says duplicate file, so try deleting.the file first in /system /etc then drop the file in .zip

Hit Thanks if I helped you!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] idivorceyou:
I hit thanks, but it didn't help! I tried that.

whatever, I'll try double booting off the triple threat card. cm7 and cm9 will do for now.

update

what a mess. hours of work and nothing

I just want to EASILY create a sd card that my nook can boot to wth CM-7!

I successfully rooted. at least that is out of the way.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
If it still wouldn't after you deleted, that is a mystery, I tried to recreate your error but it would let me drag & drop every time, Might try re downloading the rom itself and trying on a fresh one???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackmo0n:
Thanks for the guide. I don't know what I did wrong but cm7 loads fine but I can't get cm9 or cm10 to load. I get white bots and after 10 mins they are still there. I tried reinstalling and got the same thing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digichris:
Thanks for the guide! I'm able to boot-up CM-7 and CM-9, but CM-10 just hangs on a black screen. I tried to reinstall, same thing. I also double-checked and double-modified the CM-10 zip and jb gapps, re-copied altboot1.img, reinstalled them again, same thing. I'm using a 32gb Sandisk Class 4 card on a NT 16gb. Also, my options for boot are:

Option 4 - SDC recovery

Option 5 - CM-7 (Boot)

Option 6 - CM-9 (Altboot)

Option 7 - CM-10(? 'Altboot1')

Any ideas? :confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
I ran into this only once on an alternate CM10 rom but have not on the ones listed, without being able to see what your doing makes it tough to see what step is hanging you up. For both the CM9 & CM10 issues, I would

1st try to completly power down eject SD and remount and reboot.

2. If that doesn't do anything reboot again and go to SDC recovery do full wipes again and see if they boot after that. If still no joy,

3. If that doesn't do anything reboot again and go to SDC recovery do full wipes again re flash the rom thats not booting and see if they boot after that.

If that is a fail, It could be any one simple thing, re read the steps and verify the partitions were set up correctly making sure there formatted correctly (ext4, fat32, primary ect,,,) Your boot, altboot & altboot1 and in the right spots,) Sorry to say if it still doesn't work I would start over with fresh DL of rom's & gapps. Sucks but round 2 will go quicker now that you have done it once. I realize that's not much help but there havn't been any reported issues for me to identify a "magic bullet" where common problems occur. If any of this works or you see what went wrong on the second attemt please let us know what you found s it might benifit others.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackmo0n:
I redid all the steps again and I'm getting the same result. Could it be the recovery I'm using? I read somewhere on here certain recoveries work for different roms like cm7 recovery would be different from cm9.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digichris:
Well looks like I completely skipped the "vold.fstab" section... :good:

I re-did those steps, and I'm going to try reflashing each CM again. Hopefully that fixes things.

I wonder why GB and ICS were able to boot up without me editing the vold.fstab files in the zips. What does this file do?

Thanks again!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
The only recovery issue I have heard about is with CM10 needing a newer version but have not seen or heard of it being a problem with this. There is many steps here and it's easy to skip one, I just can't determain what's happening without more info. Just to verify you do have a nook

Tablet

8 or 16 gb with 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 fimware correct? and you for sure slowly read all steps and tried again with freash rom's? I hope that didn't come across as ass#olish, but usually it's a missed step like the volstab comment above. Not saying it is but it happens more often than any other issue. If there's anything else you can tell me I will try to re create the problem and see whats up.

Thanks,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digichris:
Alright, I did the whole process over again, still no CM10 boot, and that was with a new download of the CM10 .zip from a different mirror. I'm using the 12/9 version from the link you provided. Is this the same version you are using?

Also, why do we have different options on the boot menu? Mine are:

Option 5: CM7 (SDC BOOT)

Option 6: CM9 (SDC ALTBOOT)

Option 7: CM10 (SDC ALTBOOT1)

Very frustrating :eek: but thanks for the help!

Edit: I'm going to try an earlier version of CM10 from the link you provided.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Yep, thats the version of 10 I am running, (was) now just full root and falshed just that CM10rom. The boot options are throwing me thogh, that doesn't seem right at all. I cant figure how you ended up with 5 being SDC boot, When you started over did you just start from the rom part or did you do the whole format SD? It looks as though that is the problem, Something during the format (prepare) the SD card is jacked up. Should always be 4=SDCboot, I know it's frustratring, please try that part again. Yep I know i'm not alot of help, but again hard to trouble shoot from here but with that info about the boot options send up a red flag.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digichris:
Yep, that was it, the newest version of that CM10 isn't working with your guide, I went with version 11/24, and CM10 booted up fine. Please note that in the OP, so other n00bs dont have the same issue. Thanks again for your help and for making this guide, much appriciated! :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Cool, thanks for the help, I'm on the road but will uadate with your info when I get back, glad it worked out, So is 5 still SDCboot?

If anyone' getting a headache trying to figure out getting cm to a microsd card manually, two braindead easy ways in my post for 8gb nt users (should work for 16gb).

The only optional step? Use Easeus Partition Manager, etc to expand the last partition if you want to use a bigger card.

You should be up an running on cm10 in less than 10 minutes.

Yep, boot settings are the same. Having a problem with Wi-Fi now...not working in CM7 or CM10 :( When I get home I'm going to try and reinstall...wish me luck! :confused:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackmo0n:
Thank u for your help. Yes to all your question. I went ahead and installed an updated recovery and I was able to install cm9 and 10. Great guide and thanks once again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Awesome thanks,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rlopezcomputers:
Could I make the boot partition bigger or would that would cause problems
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
You should be able to, I would keep it as small as possible though. I've read that the NT may have trouble booting it the partition is too big. I have went bigger with no issues so give it a try.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
I too am having problems with cm10. cm7 and cm9 boot fine but as soon as I install cm10 then cm9 gets hosed. I went back and rebuilt sd from the ground up three times and readded files to make sure I diddn'nt mess up the process still got same results. I then added an extra ext4 parttion and increased all partition sizes without any changes to results.

'm now trying CM10 "Jelly Bean" forNook TabletAlpha 0.08.3 Release.

do i also rename recovery.8.3.img with it and rename it to altboot1.img and place in root of sd card. thanks.

btw nook 16gig with emmc bn1.41 and emmc recovery cwm5
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Sorry not 100% understanding,

1st, they guide was tested using 1.4.3 so may have to rely on others to see if it worked for older. But CM7 & CM9 you said was working so that may not be the issue,

Now to the question, I have had a few messages saying that the updated rom did not work and others are not having any issue with updated rom's or even other rom's not listed so I can not narrow down any problems but trying a different rom seemed to help a couple of folks.

As for re naming recovery img to altboot1? These files were in the download to drag and drop to the root os the SD so this is where I am not sure what you are asking. You shouldn't need to re name anything?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
thanks for responding and sorry for being unclear

when you downloaded the rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773362 it also has a recovery-0.08.3.img file that goes with it. Not sure what it means so since I have cm10 as p7/alboot1. I tried renaming recovery-0.08.3.img to altboot1.img. Needless to say it booted into p2/sd boot/cm7. I recopied the original altboot1.img file and viola. the rom refereed to in this post worked. However, wifi fails. does not even start up. I'm now trying hashcodes jb image. might have been a corrupt altboot1.img file on the sdcard. giving next rom a try. I have an 8g sd card and wish to have a 4xquadboot. so the last 2 are cm10. I have seen some .zip scripts to wipe p2 and p5. I have not seen anything to wipe p7 or p9 or anything on a altboot2.img file. anyhelp would be great
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Sounds like your getting closer, did wifi work on the 7 & 9 rom's and just not.on the cm10? Could be justa matter of a wipe & reinstal or bad dl. As for adding more partitions, this guide was just expanded on for noobs to include every step. On page 1 you can look for succulents comment and go to his blog and he shows options for an additional boot option.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JaY_III:
Nice additionally information provided.

Over all well done

Would be nice if the OP included the source for his writeup:

So of the pics they show are easier to understand as this guide can be a little wordy.

I tried cm-10-20121208-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/.

I also downloaded the sd.zip for it and I copied the update-script from p7 and used the fstab.void file from this post's sdboot.zip it failed when booting. it never even reached the boot logo and powered down. I then formatted p7 and p8 in cwm which I labeled system3 and data3. I and reinstalled cm10 and installed gapps (also with new update-script). this time cm10 boot logo would run for lets say 20 min till I grew tired of it looping. oh and I also copied altboot1.img from this images sd zip instead of using the one in this thread. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

(I'm not expecting you guys to figure it out either.... just hoping for some luck and encouragement) Maybe I should just wait till the stars aligin. Ive done this about 15 times now. I've gotten really good at it I guess but being good requires good results. lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Your first attemt seemed to yeild the best result although wifi didn't work. When flashing are you doing all wipes. ie: factory rest, dalvic ect.. ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
if I make a triple boot sd, and select 4 from the cyanoboot screen to boot cwm off sd, if I do factory reset and such, isn't that on the emmc? (emmc has bn1.41) and if it wasn't, how would it know which partition I'm looking on the SD for the one I wish to wipe. in the above threads I was saying that I as formatting p7 and p8 as my wipe system3 and data3 as they were labeled respectively with partition manager software.

thanks

edit: note I have never tried factory wipe when booting off sd card cwm (option 4 on cyanoboot) is there a sub menu built in to the sd cwm, factory wipe, where it will ask you if it is p3 p6 or p8 ? thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
another issue I'm having is the following.

when booting into the sd and into system1/p3/cm7, it does not mount the first fat32 partition to /sdcard within the os nor the last fat32 partition to /sdcard is there in easy way to get use a specific or any fat32 partition? I would assume something in the build.prop but I wouldn't now what.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
@ rp201 Select opt.4 and just wipe cache and data, Also although many have not had any issues I have had a couple people say that they were haveing the same problems with the newer builds of jb so you may also try the 24/11 build if that fails and see if that does any better.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
I'm at a loss bro, I don't seem to be much help at all, I just took my wifes NT back to factory 1.4.2, updated to 1.4.3 and re did the entire process using both the rom from this this post and the last 10.0 rom you tried without fail. (yes shell be po'd :rolleyes:) I was hopeing to re create some of the issues your having but can not. The only difference I see is your older fimware, I'm not saying that thats the prob. just an observation. I will do some more attempts at recreating the problem and do some reading. If you come up with anything in the mean time please post the results.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
I tried again with rom suggested and ended up with same results of where wifi was not working. but i diddn't give up. I tried again with this image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773362 and only copied in the updater script. I left fstab.void alone. viola!! it worked! before doing that I also went into partition manager and wiped and rebuilt last the 3 partitions (for the 10th time). also when I tried copying new rom to first fat32 partiton p1... I ran out of space. so I deleted the cm9.zip file from it to make room. possible a bad block on sd was getting written to and that file being removed got bye it. either way i'm up and happy when I get it all set up with the apps I want. I will diskimage the whole thing so I don't have to go through it again. Thanks everyone for your input. hope this helps or encourages others not to give up. credit to mal-- for rewriting succlents awesome work so I could understand it better. I was looking at succlents but was not understanding winrar was the repackaging tool and all the file copying/replace stuff. No bad towards succlent. He had the hardest part of figuring. kudos to both of you!

I have been told to wipe dalvik cache but I'm not understanding how cwm will know how and where to wipe the cache for each of the 3 boots on the sdcard. maybe my archtiecture of how dalvik cache works is a misunderstood.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
I'm not a rocket surgen or anything but I believe when you select wipe dalvic it will also wipe the extented portions of the SD so it would not be nessasary to select anything, Just go through the normal functions and wipe. It it does create a problem (wich I don;t think it will) Your pretty much a pro at this now so worst case is you start over.

i followed everything.

but i still cant get any of the three to boot. been waiting 10min ish each.

White robots for CM7 and blank screen for CM9 and 10.

I came from old condition of only rooted and disable BN update.

This is first time trying SDCard.

Anything i should have taken care?

kindly help

thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Hope this doesn't sound like a copout answer but if none of the roms are booting either something was skiped by accident or something didn't format or install right. Hard to help with little info.

You said it was the first attempt so I would recomend reading the entire guied and giving it another shot from scratchjud incase.

I have help quite a few and it usually is something simple they scrolled past or accidenlty left of the SD. Also, I have not tried this with any older versions so not sure if that could be the issue, why not upgrade to 1.4.3 and re root if the second try ends with no joy? It's 12:00 am here now so I am signing off but should be back areound 4 or 5 am, So if you get hung up on the next try don't hessitate to leave some info and ask questions I will reply as soon as I can.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I have found it's a hit-n-miss in creating a working bootable double/triple CM card (even though I followed to the T the source info at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/) , whereas my success rate with single-boot card creation is 100%, everything being equal (i.e., using exactly the same set of cards, card-readers, and partition tools (linux as well as windows). Given that CM10 supersedes CM9 which in turns supersedes CM7 (which is old enough that many new apps are no longer backward compatible with it) there is little sense in devoting time to make a tripple CM10/CM9/CM7.

Even when I want to experiment/play with multiple CM10 builds concurrently I found it more practical to simply use multiple sdcards.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mukyo:
roger that all.

i feel my steps are done carefuly.

even the p2 5 7 stuff.

the only place where i think i might screw up is WIn7 can open zips natively. i don't know if that will alter the zips as if it was unzip.

anyway i will follow digixmax suggs will try single first. and will redownload everything again.

i am aligned with multi sdcard. as i have a bunch of 1G-2Gs scattered around.

will inform.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] malloneem:
Hope you git_r did, I have only done 7 of these but have had sucess everytime, I am (at the moment) using winrar and only class 4 & 6 Sandisk SD's, I agree with digixmax though in it's just as easy to build seperate SD boot a different SD each time (other than keeping track of them lol). I personally on the two NT's we have just flashed our preferred roms to emmc so this for me the multiboot was just to play with and to use to sample a few roms before deciding on just 1. Anywhoo, good luck and I'm willing to help you out if I can.

What happened to my default Nook Rom ? lol

keep on getting acore force closure pop ups.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mukyo:
OK.

Below is what i have finally used

sgt7-10-20121209-meghd00t-acclaim.zip --> No bootanim, just blank screen

update-cm9-acclaim-alpha0.06.1-fullofbugs.zip --> sucessfully boot

cm-7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip --> stuck at activation, weird wifi, does not detect auto and i cannot find a way to enable them

before that i was using

cm-10.1-20130104-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip --> set_perm: some changes failed, Error installing Status7

full_acclaim-jb-20130102.zip --> set_perm: some changes failed, Error installing Status7

So i replace with the one i mentioned above.

my partitions are:

BOOT 700

CM7 350

CM7DATA 1000

CM9 350

CM9DATA 1000

CM10 350

CM10DATA 1000

i am definitely sure i have used p2 p5 p7 correctly

Any other idea to get CM10 work?

Maybe anyone can tell me which CM10 latest zips i should try?

I have tried single boot to no luck.

Does CM10 can be used on p2?

And the result f my 1st attempt is still there. I think i replaced the original Nook ROM with CM10 sgt7-10-20121209-meghd00t-acclaim.zip.

All apps retained on internal partition.

Any idea how to get back nook?

Thx
