Ok, I thought there was another version of CWR on microSD besides Monsterpack, but don`t see it now...

Can you enter stock recovery?

If not, make froyo SD boot card, enter to froyo and install rom manager from market, than you can flash CWR recovery from it...
[Nook Color Android Development] Biff Rosco:
Unless I screwed something up, I flashed 0.6.7 to eMMC and had no recovery. I had no issues with the install and have been using it for a week. When I recently went into ROM Manager, it didn't show any recovery. I tried to reboot into recovery using ADB - no joy.

So I installed CWM through ROM Manager, rebooted, and have had no issues with recovery. Not sure if I missed something, but I didn't see any recovery installed using the flashable zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] VirginIncVuture:
So I've spent the past two days researching and then decided to get Froyo working on my new Valentine's Day present.

It works great! (I'm not suprised, this place guided me through porting Android to my HTC Vouge as well)

However I am coming into a problem that I just cannot seem to solve. It has to do with the sd card partition. I've been searching for over an hour and it seems no one answers this question.

How can you repartition the sd card in windows?

I just got an alienware laptop so I'm fully capable of dual-booting Ubuntu, however I don't have a desire to go through all of that just for the sake of partitioning. Is there some tool out there that will let me do it in windows? I'm using an 8GB class 4 SD Card and I want to make sure I have access to the entire amount of space I have avaliable.
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
that didn't work. I had to flash samuel haff's repartition boot image to fix my boot image. Anyway, back to normal now.
[Nook Color Android Development] Big-A-Rob:
Download Easus Partition Master Home Edition...It is pretty much the greatest thing ever! I got turned onto it a few weeks ago and couldn't believe how easy it made partitioning sd cards.
[Nook Color Android Development] brendel:
You can actually use the diskpart command in windows from a command prompt. You don't get the pretty GUI, but it's one less program to download and install on your computer. More information on diskpart can also be found in the beginning posts of the "Customized Nookie Froyo for emmc".

bump for new version 0.6.8

Fixed 'Format SD Card' issue - no longer formats /boot

Added some touchscreen enhancements thanks to deeper-blue,

- way more responsive around the edges!

- No more need to toggle the screen, fully responsive from a fresh boot!

It'll be a little while before I make another NF release - new job has me very busy and I'd like to lend a hand to the CM7 work :)
[Nook Color Android Development] voodoomurphy:
ok this is strange. I flashed my internal memory, everything was fine. I rebooted my nook and wham, black death. Yes, I did actually flash the internal memory. No CWR on reboot... nothing. THoughts?
[Nook Color Android Development] VirginIncVuture:
Thank you so much! Got it installed and running and I now have 6.4 gigs to work with :D Thanks alot

I had first considered diskpart but since I new the disk management tool didn't work, I figured the same was for diskpart. Mad I spent all that time being lazy and should have went ahead and tried it.
[Nook Color Android Development] adma84:
the same happened to me. Black death...

Download monster's IO pack to get CWR on your sdcard:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690

Note, only the step 5, last attempt method fixed my nook. My boot partition was HOSED. I even tried to restore a nandroid which had backed up my previous boot, and that failed.

Oh, and to get your nook out of the black screen state, place the SDcard in with CWR on it, hold power and nook symbol for 30+ seconds. Let go of both, and then hold power for 2 seconds...should fix it
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:

I'm running rooted stock on eMMC and NF on an SDcard, and I have a problem. Stock only mounts the boot partition from the SDcard. My boot partition is only ~100 m, so this is a problem. Help would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Android Development] combustiblemonkey:
I installed this over the top of 0.6.5 and google apps crashed out.

I did the HoneyGApps.v2 install (again, since it worked last time this happened) and it fixed it :)
[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
That's expected behavior. If you re-read the OP you'll see a big warning that this will *erase* your current eMMC /system.

You will need to reflash gapps or anything else that modifies files in /system, as well as any custom kernel you may be using - these things are not included in NF.
[Nook Color Android Development] fabienk:
@cicada

there's a "framework" folder under .../system/framework

Tried to follow directions in ubuntu to update my sd card.

used the sudo tar command found on nook devs site and tried to run it but get errors and it won't update files on the card any ideas?

It scrools through all the files so fast I can't see where the errors are and when I try to scroll to top of terminal it won't go all the way to the intial command

at the end though it states: tar: exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Please help.
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
Nope, did it by hand: adb shell -> mount -o remount,rw /system -> vi /system/build.prop. Change ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx to ro.sf.lcd_density=210 and save. Reboot and done. Cheaper than LCD Density Changer :P

Well, I actually did not flash any .zip. I followed these steps:

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Nookie_Froyo_Tips#3rd-Party_App_support

I don't know if you can flash that zip directly from CWR, but if they recommend ADB there must be a good reason :)

Oh, and all the flashing I did it from a 1gb sd card with CWR 3.0.0.5. I have not installed CWR internally.
[Nook Color Android Development] ovar:
Perfect, thanks for the quick reply!
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
So, quick question about the update to .6.8 - is this change a kernel change, or /system change? I am really happy with my current setup, so if i could get by just updating the relevant files, that would be awesome (going to do a diff on .67 and .68, but it can't hurt to ask..

OK, so i took a look, and it looks like the differences are:

1) An updated vold file

2) An updated Ramdisk file (and source)

3) An updated Kernel

Looking at the changes, i suspect the screen improvements happen in the kernel, correct? Are they different from the ones Dal is using in his overclocked kernel?
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
any thoughts on how to help me update my sdcard image without wiping everything?

would greatly appreciate
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Actually, that is what i am trying to figure out. Dalingrin made some changes to his Froyo kernel, and they sound the same as the fixes listed here. But i want to make sure.

If the changes are the same, then you will only need to update the /system/vold file, and the /boot/uRamdisk file.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
tried to update it like mentioned on nookdevs and couldnt get it to. Now I think I messed up. I pulled via adb system and pushed back the new system.

Then I copied over the contents of boot folder to boot partition.

Reboted. I get into froyo and can run apps but anything requiring root cant get root. seems to be a permissions error dont kow how to fix

Might just have to restart from scratch unless someone knows a fix.

[Nook Color Android Development] naezwood:
First off let me say, this device looks gorgeous with stock android. Especially 2.2.

Secondly, is the microSD card running the OS, similar to a Linux liveCD/DVD?

Also, is there any way to sideload apps onto it currently since the market isn't working?
[Nook Color Android Development] Bimboy:
The NC has a soldered microSD as it's on-board memory. Running this image on the SD is very similar to a LiveCD, where a different boot device is selected.

You can adb install apps.. OR you can install Google apps, enable the market, and download whatever you would like. Check out the Tips Section of the wiki for instructions on how to do that. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] naezwood:
Wait, I thought that Google apps weren't working yet on 0.5.6?
[Nook Color Android Development] TchnclFl:
I can confirm that they are. Just use the tips section of the wiki's instructions.
[Nook Color Android Development] FrasierCrane:
Are you running 2.2 directly off the onboard memory?
[Nook Color Android Development] naezwood:
I stumbled upon that after making my ignorant post. It works great (still can't get Youtube working even after using the work-around).

One last question about this rom. Is it possible for me to make a backup of the entire OS so I can use my microSD for other things like ghosting a pc? I only own one card and I use it for my Xperia X10 and my NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:

[Nook Color Android Development] swapdotavi:
Great work guys. Glad to see that everything is still moving along :)
[Nook Color Android Development] stwallman:
You need to get the Market installed. Once you have done that, you can download the Flash 10.1 plugin and Flash will play correctly in the browser. I confirmed by going to the CNN main site and playing a Flash video. A bit sluggish at the moment but I expect that from a very early build of Nookie FroYo.

[Nook Color Android Development] cicada:
When you pushed the new files to your SD card, /system/xbin/su probably lost it's proper permissions.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell chmod 04755 /system/xbin/su

should do the trick.

Any fixes for that?
[Nook Color Android Development] siraltus:
I know this might have been beaten to death and apologize in advance, and I did a search and did not find a clear answer to this, so let me ask:

If you have Nookie Froyo in eMMC, can you have CWR in eMMC as well and boot into it from ROM Manager or with Power+N? So far, I cannot boot into CWR from eMMC - the only way for me to run CWR is to boot off a CWR SD card.

I did the following:

1. Made a CWR 3.0.0.5 SD Card, copied NF 0.6.8 ZIP to it, booted off the card, formatted /boot, /system, /data, /cache, flashed NF 0.6.8.

2. After NF 0.6.8 installed, took the card out, booted into NF, let it settle, pushed gapps via adb, and set up all my apps from the market. (Everything works flawlessly, BTW.)

3. Started ROM Manager and it told me I already had CWR 3.0.0.5 installed, so I used the "Reboot into recovery" option - nada, it rebooted back into NF.

4. Used the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" option. ROM Manager downloaded CWR, said it successfully flashed it. Tried "Reboot into Recovery" again and nada - it rebooted into NF again.

5. Tried powering off, then doing Power + N. Nada - boots into NF.

I feel like a total moron - what the hell am I doing wrong? (TIA for help.)

EDIT: Could it be that my nook's eMMC is partitioned incorrectly?

I have a handful of books on my Nook currently that I did not purchase from any store - epub books.

Just wondering this because I still do use the nook for its primary function - reading.
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
try using rom manager to install clockwork and also use it to boot into clockwork.

adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar

So what do we do if we did format boot? I don't remember doing it before flashing NF, but since I cannot boot into CWR from RomManager I suppose I did.
[Nook Color Android Development] BartonFink:
I had the same problem. I then flashed Nookie0.6.8 to emmc, changed LCD density to 220 and viola - Ultra Keyboard fits perfectly! Not sure if it's due to the 0.6.8 rom or if the change to LCD Density did the trick; but give either one (or both) a try. I also had the problem where i could not find Ultra Keyboard in the market - but clearing Market cache and clearing data in Google Framework, then Force Close and reboot helped for that.
[Nook Color Android Development] brianf21:
Can you boot into NF from the eMMC? If so then you did not format boot. How did you install CWR before you flashed 0.6.8?
[Nook Color Android Development] siraltus:
I think I know what I did wrong - I formatted /boot and installed the Customized Nookie Froyo Image 0.6.7 before and I think that replaced my /boot image. Then I flashed Nookie Froyo Flashable 0.6.8 on top of that. So it looks if I restore completely to stock 1.0.1 (which restores /boot), and then flash Nookie Froyo 0.6.8, I will be able to flash CWR into eMMC and boot into it properly?
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Ah, thanks! I just started using NF and haven't adjusted LCD density yet, but I had changed it in Stock before trying Ultra. I'll give that a whirl.

Edit: Changing LCD density did the trick. Ultra Keyboard requires density of 201 or greater for full-sized keyboard on the NC. Thanks again.
[Nook Color Android Development] Narfx:
I didn't. The last things I did were:

Format system

Format data

Format boot

Flash HC v4

Format system

Format data

Flash Nookie 0.6.7

Flash Nookie 0.6.8

I did ALL this from CWR 3.0.0.5 in a SD card. And THEN I used RomManager to flash CWR to eMMC (well, I assume RomManager flashes to eMMC, but I'm not sure. I'm used to the HTC Desire where RomManager only uses fake flash and to flash a recovery *permanently* you must use fastboot commands). Anyway, if after flashing I select reboot to recovery from RomManager, NF reboots normally, instead of going to CWR, as other people reported.
