How do you get the image on the card? Winimage doesn't see it!
[Nook Color Android Development] Hextall:
Did you unzip it first with 7-zip?
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
What USB SD card reader are you using? If it's built in to the computer that may be your problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
See my post 138

[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I tried this with an individual file (rather than a zip) and it worked.

Thanks !

I had to reboot afterwards, otherwise there were problems on the NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] KDOG2020:
Ok well what can I do about it? Do I need an external card reader?
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
A lot of internal card readers can't burn these images properly, which is why the instructions recommend using an external usb one.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
@ ADude glad I was able to help.

Did you see my post on backing up #127, if you done a lot you might want to consider backing up the complete cm7 card as an img file. You can if anything goes wrong reburn it and be right where you are now. Make sure you use the read option with a complete path including drive in the text box.

I did not have to reboot nook. There are so many variables who knows. In the notification I used the mount usb option. I do not think it is necessary when we use adb. I type adb devices to make sure that I am connected.

I then on the nook quit using usb (but still connected to my pc) and used ES File Explorer to look at what I had done. I then sent the zip over and unzip while still connected. It is true I have to shut down the windows machine to get adb to release. Then I unplug the usb from the pc. There might be a command in adb to release it.
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Installed this today. I'm just glad to have a CM7 build that runs from SD rather than eMMC so I can run Gingerbread while preserving the stock ROM! Thanks so much for putting this together!
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Yes, it's amazing that you can run a full OS from a memory card! It seems to boot up as fast as eMMC too?

One thing though, sometimes (generally on boot) I see a "synch" icon in the bar top right and while it's active the NC is very unresponsive. At first I thought it was Gmail synching but it takes way too long for that. Anyone else notice that and know what it's about?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Thanks for the great ROM. I am little confused about uImage from kernel.zip you mentioned in another thread. I downloaded it and got uImage out.

I shut down my nc and removed the sd card. I installed it in a usb adapter and mounted on my mac. I copied from the boot drive the uImage to my mac and then replace the uImage from the fixed version.

I was having trouble connecting my friend's white apple blue tooth keyboard. It would recognize it but not pair it. He had named the white keyboard from his mac with his name.

Another friend had the silver keyboard. When we put in the pin number, it would reboot (I thought the fixed uImage was a possible fix for this problem)?

I am able to pair and connect my Sony DR-BT21G with the old and new uImage with no problems. Plays audio fine.

When I booted with ROM Manager option "Reboot into Recovery", manual recovery, this uImage restarted your ROM instead. Were the original uImage from B & N suppose to fix this?
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Are you using any adb commands before and/or after "adb push" ?

PS Yes, I have been backing up using read in the image software. But it is good to state it again for others reading the thread.

The final information I will need - eventually - is "how to migrate my personal installation to a CM7 installation on the eMMC ?" (which is assuming that the B&N 2.2 update is still insufficient for my needs, even if rooted).
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
Yes, chances are the fixed uImage will fix this reboot.

I am not very familiar with the recovery code so I cannot comment on this at all.

The kernel from kernel.zip should just match dalingrin's OC kernels, as I built it from his tree with his config, the only difference was bluetooth crash fix.
[Nook Color Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
There are 2 easier ways to do this. One is to use the NookColorUMS app that is installed on the nookie SD to mount the different partitions.

If you want to use adb then you can go this route:

In ADB enter these commands to mount the different partitions.

eMMC /boot partition:

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file

SD Card /boot partition:

echo /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file

SD Card /sdcard Partition (storage):

echo /dev/block/mmcblk1p4 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1/file

You can mount any partition you like this way. "mmcblk0" is the eMMC and "mmcblk1" is the SDcard. The "p1" (partition 1) or "p4" (partition 4) specifies the partion of that disk you want to mount. once you enter the command and hit enter it should pop up a window just like when you plug in a thumb drive or whatever.

"lun0" and "lun1" are two virtual usb drives. So you can mount one partition to lun0 and another to lun1 at the same time.

I would NOT make changes to any /boot partition that is currently in use just to be safe. (boot from sd if you want to edit emmc /boot and boot emmc if you want to edit sd /boot)

I replaced the u-boot.bin file on the SD /boot with the one attached below and I am now able to boot into recover with the power + n button combo. However, when I flash stuff from cwr it flashes it to emmc instead of sd. :/

Not sure what to do from here...
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
THANX... that helps... I tried replacing the uRecRam and uRecImg but that didn't help... I would have expected the FS mounts would have been in the uRecRam (ramdisk) image... but if replacing the u-boot gets me one step further then at least it's progress...
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Thanks for your solutions.

I was just using the NookColorUMS app and getting ready to post it as an alternative. Your right it is much easier. Here is his thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11322639&postcount=1

"From NookColorUMS OP Compatibility mode will need to be disabled in Spare parts (reboot required)." I did this step first.

Do not use the usb notification to mount. Use NookColorUMS instead.

After the reboot I selected from his pull down 1st Mount point to be "Mount SD (4) Fourth Partition. Then I scroll to the bottom and pressed CONFIRM button. Next I selected from pull down 2nd Mount point and Selected "Mount Media".

I copied some more of my videos to the /emmc/My Files/Videos/ folder using the pop up window for Mount Media. I then copied more albums over to the music folder on the /sdcard/ (Fourth Partition 2nd pop up window) that I had expanded earlier.

In windows I went to each individual drive and unmounted them. Got safe to remove message for each. Next I change the Android app to Unmount and CONFIRM each of the drives. Back in Windows the safe to remove Nook Color would not allow since ADB had it. So I shut down windows before unplugging. Is there a way in ADB to release it, so I do not need to shut down windows before unplugging?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Shut down the nc, remove the sd card, power up, load sd card, mount sd card. Is there any easier way to cause it to boot from emmc? Maybe adb command?
[Nook Color Android Development] SCWells72:
Having trouble with Market

I love, love, love this ROM on SD, but I'm having trouble with the Market. There are a few things missing that are there for every other ROM I've tried (Eclair, Froyo, and Honeycomb), notably Twitter and Homebrewtalk. I've tried all the tricks I know to get the Market working, basically changing the fingerprint in build.props, clearing the Market cache, and clearing the Google Services Framework data, then rebooting, and still those apps don't appear. I just tried using Appbrain and that didn't work either. When it tries to access the Market it also fails. Any ideas?

UPDATE: Still no luck. At this point I've tried all three fingerprints (passion 2.3.3, stingray 3.0, and sholes 2.2.1), resetting the Market cache and GSF data and rebooting each time. Then I try to find Twitter or Homebrewtalk in the Market and come up empty. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
[Nook Color Android Development] epakrat75:
When I flash from CWM it goes to emmc rather than SD so I don't think that's an option. Can this SD be upgraded using the nightlies? Could I simply mount /system on my computer and just copy over the files from the update zip? Push /system via ADB? Would the vold need to stay as it is on the SD now? If so, anything else?
[Nook Color Android Development] jtbnet:
I would have thought it would require a custom uRecRam (Recovery ramdisk) to allow it to have the correct FS mapping for use on a SDCard based versions... Not sure that anyone has done this though... but hoping...
[Nook Color Android Development] neoshi:
Anyone having trouble with the newest version of softkeys (dled from market) force closing?
[Nook Color Android Development] Lento10:
No, it's working great on my nc. Try button Savior, looks good.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I would like to know also. What would be the procedure for doing it? I thought I saw an answer to upgrading using the nightlies in one of the other threads but I can not find it now. Did anyone else see this?
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
I haven't rooted my nook yet. I've just been running roms off of SD. How would I back up the cm7 sd so I dont have to go through all the **** with extending the partition and pushing stuff via adb and all this other stuff that took me all day to do? I want to back up the card, then format it and use it to root my nook so I can put honeycomb or stock on the emmc, then put cm7 back on the sd card.

Also, anyone else's flash videos stuttering or audio lagging behind?
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
* Get Win 32 Disk Imager (Free from softpedia.org or elsewhere)

* Get a USB uSD card reader and connect the uSD card to PC with it

* Run Win32DiskImager

* Make sure that the Disk Letter is set to the uSD card

* Use the Browse button to browse to a folder with free space on your PC

* Make up a new name for the backup with .img at the end (like Backup03142011.img)

* Click READ to backup the uSD card to the new img file on your PC

(WRITE is to burn the image file onto the uSD card, which is the reverse.)

* Get SD Formatter Free from the web site of the SD card manufacturers association, install it on your PC and use it to format your card when needed.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Interesting - I read a thread in the non-device-specific Apps Forum on this site, about favorite apps. Much of the functionality of those apps is already present in either CM7 or ADW launcher (I can't tell which, since I have never used one separate from the other).
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
The calendar is not syncing with google. Any ideas? There isn't even an option to make it sync.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Settings > Accounts & Sync > account name > verify Sync Calendar is checked
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Talking about synching has anyone else had that "sync icon" top right after booting? When it's on the NC is very unresponsive.
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
Calendar isnt even there.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
It should be listed there automatically by default. Bad flash maybe, or some error occurred during account setup? :confused:

Are the other Google apps like Contacts and Gmail listed?
[Nook Color Android Development] fwdixon:
This is the way to do it, worked perfectly for me. Needs to be included with the install instructions somewhere :D
[Nook Color Android Development] verygreen:
The way I use (which is probably not the easiest, but works for me). Requires Linux or some other OS that can mount ext4.

Just mount partition 2 on the SD card.

Get the update...zip file with a newer nightly, unpack it somewhere.

Copy changed files to sd card discard the /system component of the path).

Change the permissions of files that need changing (like ping and such - see the list in update scripe in META-INFO dir).

Copy kernel to first partition, name uImage.

Don't copy the ramdisk.img anywhere (though actually it could be done with unpacking, some changes and repacking).

Anyway I really did not expect there would be such a demand for SD version of CM7 build. As such I am really thinking of rolling an upgradeable version in a small image that would self expand to fill the entire card whatever the amount

and perhaps with a semi-automatic way to download and install gapps.

I don't have much time right now, but hopefully this weekend I'd spend some time in this direction then.
[Nook Color Android Development] webvan:
Yep, except that upon reboot the GMN Blue Triangle Icon was gone, not sure why!

So no one else has that "small sync" icon top right after booting that leaves the NC very unresponsive as long as it shows?
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Sounds great. To make the transition to your new image we would use

Titanium Backup to backup all of apps without data.

Settings > ADWLauncher > Backup and restore to backup ADWLauncher settings.

Copy the TitaniumBackup folder and adw_settings.xml to our computer.

Install your upgradeable image to an sd card, insert into nook, reboot.

Copy TB folder and adw_seetings.xml back to our nook and restore.

Reset our data/prefences manually.

Note: this is where paid version of TB has advantage. Free version restore 1 at a time, paid batch restore.

Would this part be automatic also

[adb pull /etc/vold.fstab

modify and save change of "auto" to "4"

adb remount

adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab

adb reboot]

The similiar Froyo sd card version has a default 2gb and 8gb image rather than automatic. I think they had lots of problems with 16gb sd cards and various brands and classes of 2gb and 8gb sd cards. I did not see anybody using a 32gb card. If the 8gb card would not work because of your built-in sd card reader did not see the full size, you could always install the 2gb card and expand it.

When using a 4gb card you would expand the 2gb image.

It looks like automatic would be easier but most of the thread is dedicated to burn images failing and manual method of providing 2 sizes let us fix lots of these problems. Automatic resizing might be harder to fix if things do not work because of low quality sd card and misrepresentation of their class with some generic brands and faulty built-in card readers size calculations.
[Nook Color Android Development] 12paq:
If you do have time that would be great.

Thank you!
[Nook Color Android Development] bucketheadmn:
That would be great to see. It would be nice to have CM7 on a SD card with gapps already there, or a easy way to install them without going through adb. Thanks for all the work you have put into this already!
[Nook Color Android Development] thefamousmoe:
contacts and Gmail are listed
[Nook Color Android Development] TheEditor:
verygreen, first of all I have to say awesome job. Secondly I am another one who does not necessarily want to run test code in eMMC and have it possibly blow up and have to rebuild stock. Having dev stuff on SD, IMHO, is the best way to go. Thanks for the SD version of CM7 and the instructions for upgrading it. I am sure there are tons more people running CM7 now then were before due to it being SD bootable.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Maybe try deleting the Google account completely from the device, wiping /cache and the Calender data (with Titanium Backup or something), and setting up the Google account again from scratch?

I'm running out of ideas, here. If nothing else works, do a full wipe and reflash. Calender sync does work... Something is just messed up on your device.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Hmm - for me that is probably most of the time/effort.

Is most/all of that in /sdcard ?

PS The updated Nookie Froyo SD Card no longer provides any size other than 2gb, they have dispensed with the 8gb one...
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Can someone please tell me how to go about updating my Xoom.

www.motorola.com/myxoom does not explain ****

i know this is probably a really stupid question, and i'm sure i'll get comments telling me to do research before posting.

but i did look for awhile, and from what i gather, a notification should have popped up on my xoom.

but one did not.

so how do i update the dang thing?
[Xoom General] inrelief:
You wait, leave it connected to the internet (WiFi or 3g), it will eventually download and prompt you to install.
[Xoom General] fob burt:
I just got mine, all I did was wait patiently.

sent from the honey moto
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
well i've been connected to wifi for about 6 hours now, and i'm always connected through verizon, but i haven't seen a single thing to do with an update.
[Xoom General] burden010:
They won't roll out the update to all devices at the same time. They have to do it in batches so they can minimise any update related problems should they occur.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
So basically, my device is going to start downloading this update, without any previous consent by me, and will just prompt me to install once the update is downloaded?
[Xoom General] burden010:
Well, if it's like any other OTA update I've had it'll ask you before it starts to download. But yeah, essentially.
[Xoom General] n99hockey:
You will get an icon in your notification window near the clock. Click on it and it will tell you a system update is available, and give you 3 options; Just click 'Install Now' and watch it go and in 10 min (or less) you will be updated.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Sweet deal. Thanks guys... I was seriously starting to get very distraught.

I only owned an ios device before... but my girlfriend has a Captivate... so watching her be unable to get froyo for so long was starting to get me worried about my Xoom.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Yeah, Samsung are dicks.
[Xoom General] n99hockey:
Agreed, my wifes Fascinate still hasn't gotten FroYo :eek:
[Xoom General] burden010:
Why not root and custom ROM?
[Xoom General] n99hockey:
While yes that what I would do if it were mine (My Incredible is running CM7 RC2), she doesn't care much. Just as long as it works for her then she is happy.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Yeah, my wife's the same. Luckily she's on Froyo (Desire) so it's not really an issue. I would forcibly update it to Gingerbread if I thought she'd notice. :)
[Xoom General] ethion:
If your xoom isn't on verizon 3g will you get the update? Is it coming from verizon or from motorola and how do they no about my device? I set it up on wifi and never used the 3g setup nore do I have a verizon contract. Am I going to be hosed?!?
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
Your device periodically checks google's servers to see if there is update. Updates are released in batches so your device may not see an update until some time later. They can be downloaded off of wifi. Don't worry you're not hosed.
[Xoom General] zone23:
Funny stuff.. you gave consent when you left the check for updates boxed checked. Uncheck it problem solved you will not get the update.. since it reads as that is your preference. Others want the update you don't want the update #winner.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
That happened on my Rooted/stock ROM Evo. Every now and then it pops up asking me to install an update that it just downloaded. Easy enough to simply decline, but pretty anoying though. At some point, I'll wander over to the Evo forum to see about (perhaps) pushing the new Cyanogen ROM, but im finding it hard to get excited about the phone these days...

Edit: Also, for those keeping score... My Xoom has not yet seen the update (5:17PM EST).
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
I obviously want it, why else would you be writing in this thread. :-)

I just wanted to know how it worked #loser

Last night i was flashing the rogers orignal rom through odin and my phone was on download mode. I use rogers tar file on pda and pit file that came with odin1.7 zip. So i press start nothing was happening for like 10 mins it kept saying setupconnection.... So i unplugged my usb took the battery out and the phone was bricked with cellphone and computer logo so i plugged my usb and odin recoqnized my usb that yellow box was highlighted and i press start again WOW it was flashing and got my 2.1 back. So Thanks odin for saving me. I hope this helps people with brick phone.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Congrats on unbricking your phone without making any "OMG MY FONE IS BRICKED, WAT DO I DOOO?!?" posts.

u r one lucky person...same thing happened to me and i am trying to get my cappy recognized but with no luck...
[Captivate General] Soween:
Hi,

I just bought a captivate (rogers) 2h ago and was trying to put my phone ready for customization and I had the same long/no moving message under odin.

I removed the phone, and now I have the phone/warning/pc icon and nothing more.

And odin doesn't recognize it at all...

Is it bricked?
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
use jig...it will go in download mode and u can use Odin3 v1.7 after that
[Captivate General] Soween:
Actually I used this method (from xda) :

1. power off phone

2. remove battery.

3. plug in USB cable to computer and phone (with battery out)

4. hold Vol Up and Vol Down

5. drop in the battery while still holding the vol buttons

6. in 2 secs you'll be in download mode

And now it works!!! Thanks to adzidek!!
[Captivate General] longr6:
You made what I thought might be a major issue easy to fix. Thanks
[Captivate General] viny2cool:
for this method to work, do u need ur phone to have 3 button combo working?
[Captivate General] cumanzor:
You guys are lucky. My phone got stuck in the factoryfs.rfs step. Now it's dead. No response to charger to power button, or 3 button combo. Nothing.

Still under warranty so I'm sending back to Samsung next week.

edit: well, I managed to get it up after struggling with my jig for a while.///
[Captivate General] sofia-captivate:
I didn't
[Captivate General] J_byrd:
Pulled my cord while using odin bricked captivate. No response at all need to try linux phone still gets warm i downloaded ubuntu but dont know the process if anyone could give me a little help i would appreciate it.
[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
If ur phone has no signs of life...even when plugged into the wall charger, then it is hard bricked.
[Captivate General] J_byrd:
PHone still gets warm when plugged in.
[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
Sorry...sounds like hard brick.

Check out mobiletechvideos.com for the fix.
[Captivate General] J_byrd:
Built a jig fixed phone thanx
[Captivate General] Shortelz:
Thanks very much, this helped me out a lot.
[Captivate General] strategist99:
could u pls tell how u used the jig

i too have the same problem and am unable to use the jig

i mean the jig has no effect

pls tell

regards
[Captivate General] BWolf56:
Do you have a self built jig (3x 100k resistors) or a USB jig?

USB jib is pretty straight forward, you simply put it in the phone's USB port and it will force the phone into download mode. Whether the phone is on or off doesn't matter. (You do need a charged battery in)
