i figured out that by changing sttings/home/theme from htc to windows default, screen started responding. So it looks like a software failure (theme called htc). I am still interested in a better solution.
[Touch Cruise General] nycBulent:
Can you briefly explain how to use it? (In the meantime I hard reset and I still have this problem)

Hi, I'm starting a little blog and decided to do a brief review of CyanogenMod 7 over at http://www.pagantech.net and just was after your thoughts of my first attempt!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
You didn't mention anything about the process of getting it on the phone, which is very particular to this ROM, or any warning of what can happen if done wrong. This is a glaring omission, IMO.
[Captivate General] TheMathMan:
Well its not really going to be aimed at the hardcore user, but general gadget blog.

I'm not sure the full install procedure would be a review, but I agree that I should have mentioned the potential bricking possibility.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
The very fact that the procedure is beyond most newbie users is why you should mention it. No need to go in detail, just touch on the risks compared to a regular flash.

Ok I've seen many People asking about Backing up Their CM7/Froyo/Honeycomb Cards (Which I'll call "CM7/NF/NH" here) so here is a Simple way to Image your Entire Card for Backup Purposes. This Guide has Two Methods. One is for Windows Users, the other is for Linux users. Mac Users can lightly follow the Linux guide as Mac has DD as well.

Windows Users: Please make sure you have the latest Win32DiskImager!

Windows Users:

Download Win32DiskImager:HERE

(You Should already have this since you had to Burn NF/NH)

Next Unzip it Anywhere, and Run the EXE

Now Select where you want to save your IMG file and choose a Name

Next Select Your Card's Mount Letter(ie:'E:')

Now Select "Read" NOT "WRITE"

Wait a Little While (The Program isn't Frozen!) Your Card should be Imaged (Partition Format and all) to the IMG file

Simply follow the Same Process to Restore but Choose "Write" instead

Linux Users:

This is a bit more Complicated then Windows and uses Terminal but since you already got CM7/NF/NH (and I assume Market is installed) on your Nook I'll assume that that's fine since I've yet to find a Good GUI for Linux.

First Open Terminal

Next Find the Device Location for your Card (NOT the Mount Point) it should be in the "dev" directory (ie: Mine was "/dev/sdc") An easy way to find it (if you have Ubuntu) is to Open 'System-->Administration-->Disk Utility', Select your Device and then Look at the Top-Right Corner. It shouldn't have a number as numbers designate Partitions.

Now head back on over to Terminal and enter the following:

Note:Anything in Brackets'[]' is User Specific. Plus Remember to Remove the Brackets as well(ie: '/dev/[Location]'='/dev/sdc')

cd [The Location You want to save the Image]
sudo dd if=/dev/[Your Card Reader's Location] of=./[Your Desired Name].img

NOTE:It may seem like nothing is happening but just give it time. Eventually you should receive a Message similar to this:

View attachment 543153

That's it you should now have an IMG file in whatever Directory you chose

To Restore Your Backup simply Follow the Same steps you used when first Creating your CM7/NF/NH card but use your Backed-Up Image instead of the Default CM7/NF/NH one

It may not be an Easily Browse-able File but it's a Good thing to do before you Upgrade in case something Bad happens as it creates an Exact Replica of the Disk so you can Restore like Nothing happened.

Hope you enjoy! If you have any problems post below :)
[Nook Color General] case-sensitive:
THANKS!

0) I wish I saw this before I trashed my nookie Froyo card :-)

1) Could I use this to backup my autorooted stock 2.1 with OC kernel?

2) Moderator: could you put this in a sticky and/or FAQ?

THANKS!
[Nook Color General] macevanscb:
Different SD Cards??

If I backup a 4GB card and then restore to a 16GB card, I assume that I will just get a 4GB image??

Could someone please point me to an post that explains how to backup the individual partitions on my SD card so that I can transfer them to a larger card??
[Nook Color General] ADude:
You need to edit the Subject Line to add "CM7" to Froyo and Honeycomb. ;)
[Nook Color General] japzone:
You can use GParted(Linux) or some other Partition Editor to resize the Partitions once Flashed over.

OR

You can copy individual Partitions in Linux. Just add the partition number to the end of the Device address.

(Ie: Partition 1 of /dev/sdc is '/dev/sdc1')

I don't reccomend doing this as it is time consuming and you'll have to use a Partition Editor to make the Partitions, so in a way it's redundant.

Is there any issue w/ using this to save (read) from one SD card and restore (write) to a different sd card?

For my case, both are 8GB cards.

When I try to write to the new card it immediately says "done". (With the same card if I write the originally downloaded froyo image it works fine)

Thanks

[Nook Color General] dzigns:
Same here. I can read the the card fine & it takes its sweet time creating the img file, but when I try to write the file to another SD card, it says 'Done' immediately & nothing is on the card. :/
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Odd, I can't reproduce your problem. If you can tell me exactly what you did and maybe even attatch a dump of your terminal(should be an option in the file menu) I might be able to help.

[Nook Color General] JRSly:
Same thing happened to me. I backed up two cards, thinking I might swap images around and use a bigger card with the Nook..and I was immediately suspicious because both images came out at exactly the same size. But I don't know much about this stuff, and thought there might be some compression involved. But then I had the same problems was you where the image would refuse to write. I downloaded another image program(WinImage) and it said they were invalid image files.

I also tried making a backup image with this program and it actually produced an image size comparable to the card, so while I haven't tried writing these images yet(don't have another 16Gb card to use)it seems to actually be working.

Anyone else having this problem with Win32DiskImager?
[Nook Color General] japzone:
I read somewhere that some people had issues with certain versions of Win32DiskImager. I'll see if I can find the recomended version.

Please keep in mind that the Image size is usually proportional to the card you Read from(ie: 4gb card= 4gb image). If you use dd there is away around this in that it'll only copy used space but generally if you have 4gb of data you'll get a 4gb image. So using this method is only useful if restoring to the same size card or moving to a bigger card; unless you manually delete files and shrink partitions before backup.

I have a working copy of Nook Froyo Customized (0.6.8/v4) on an uSD card (Transcend 8GB/class 6). It is a dual boot enabled image so I can press 'n' to boot onto the card and not press 'n' to boot onto the emmc.

I use Win32DiskImager (v 0.2) to read an image of the card to my PC.

I use Win32DiskImager (v 0.2) to write that image to a new uSD card (SanDisk 8GB/class 4).

I verify the partition layout of the uSD card with EASEUS Partition Manager.

Now the problem...

When I boot without the card everything is fine.

When I try to boot with the card inserted, nothing happens.

I'm confused why the NC isn't booting.

Any recommendations?

UPDATE: I put the original card back into the machine and can boot/dualboot without issue.

I also noted that I cannot always 'see' the new card when the Nook is in stock mode.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
What are the specs of your new card?

____________________________________________________

Sent from NookColor CM7 uSD using Tapatalk
[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
Old card: Transcend 8GB/Class 6

New card: SanDisk 8GB/Class 4 {purchased sealed from Radio Shack}

I am trying to 'downgrade' the card class based on another thread indicating that higher random Write numbers are preferrable. I've benchmarked both of these cards and the SanDisk (new) has a much better Random Write speed (~150 IOPS on the SanDisk vs ~3 IOPS on the Transcend).

The boot data is there - I can see it from the mountable 'boot' partition that Windows can actually see.

I've burned 4 workable cards with this rig and the software tools (two Nookie-Froyo-Custom cards v4 {the one I'm copying and one for my wife's nook}, a sample of HoneyComb and a test run of NFYCv6).

This is the first card I've not been able to boot from easily -- but also the first time I've not used a provided ROM image and am instead trying to backup/copy my own settings (because I'd prefer to just hop cards than re-download everything and redo all my settings).

My next steps are:

1) Try flashing one of the previously working provided ROMs to the new SanDisk card to see if it works. {This test would indicate that the problem is the image pulled from my current NFYCv4 card.}

2) Try using another SanDisk 8GB/4 card with my backed up image. {This test would indicate that the problem is the card, which seems unlikely}

3) Last Ditch: Try upgrading to Win32DiskImager v0.3 (just noticed that they had a new version out).

Any other suggestions? I'd prefer to be able to use this card if possible.

If #1 proves successful - any recommendations on why I'm not getting a clean image?

One other note: I'm on a 64 bit Vista Machine using an internal card reader, but that shouldn't matter.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Have you tried doing a complete Format before burning the Backup?

Try using this program to do a Format with the Following options:

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

Open Options and Select the Following:

-Format Type "Full(Erase)"

-Format Size Adjustment "OFF"

Many problems I've encountered with SD cards were solved when using this Program to format.

[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
I'll give that a try when I'm with the machines again.

For the record, I tried to image to the card:

1) Without formatting it

2) After formatting it from the Windows Vista 64 PC

3) After formatting it from the Nook Color

I came very close to booting Ubuntu on the PC and checking the partitions with gparted to see if there was some hidden partition that was fouling me up, but I do that from a CD ROM and it's a very long process to get it loaded, so it is always a last resort.

I'll report in if this works - thank you for your replies so far, they have been very helpful.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Also you not getting a clean backup could be 2 things:

- Because of the Formatting problems had before using the above Formatter

or

- Win32DiskImager isn't making a Good Image which is very possible.

I have always gotten better results using DD in Linux.

(NOTE: You could always install Ubuntu using the Window Installer, this doesn't partition your disk, instead it Installs Ubuntu like a Program into a Virtual Disk Image. Pop the LiveCD while in Windows or Download from ubuntu.com. You just reboot your PC and Select Ubuntu from the Startup list. When you don't need it anymore Boot into Windows and Uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, just like a regular Program.)

Try going into Ubuntu and use the DD method in my OP to Backup the image and then use this command to burn the Image to the New Card:

REMOVE BRACKETS
cd [Location of Image]
sudo dd if=[Name of Backup Image].img of=/dev/[New Card's Mount ID] bs=1M

You could also try the Manual method.

-First use the above Formatter on the new Card

-Now Boot into Ubuntu and Open terminal and type these Commands:

sudo apt-get install gparted
gparted

Now in the Partition Manager that has appeared Partition your SD card similarly to your Old card.

NOTE: Make sure you Format with the same filesystems, as the 1st and 4th use FAT32 while the 2nd and 3rd use EXT3 or EXT4

-Now Manually copy all the files from the Old Card to their Respective Partitions on the New Card

This is a really advanced method and it's not for Everybody.

Interesting news with Windows Installer, I'll probably give that a try. Of course I'm planning on recapping this machine into a Windows 7 environment (and blowing away a lot of the slow clagginess it's developed lately) but that's another story.

In the meantime, if I do the repartitioning method (which I'm comfortable with), I have a query...

Originally this was a 2GB image and I simply increased the 4th partition (sdcard/FAT32). I don't have a lot of media - most of my utility comes from applications I've downloaded. Thehe SD card space is there when I need it, but I'd rather have more 'native' app room (Everything is running off of the card anyway) which means I'd want to boost the other partitions to reasonable levels, especially the apps portion.

If it comes to doing a full rebuild of a card, I might as well monkey with the partitions to give me more room, so are there any recommended sizing or maximum sizes I should be aware of?
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Not really. Just make sure you have enough space on each partition to fit the Old data.

Also just letting you know they'll have the sleep issue ironed out of CM7 soon. So you might want to consider switching ROMs instead of just imaging your old ROM. If you do deside to swith I reccomend using this thread to do it:

[ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater

Sent from NookColor CM7 uSD using Tapatalk
[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
That thread is on my watchlist and when/if the CM7 sleep issue and battery life while resting issues are ironed out, I'll probably make the jump.

In the meantime, I have a short time to get a 'good enough' solution in place that I can rely on. Once I have such a card built, I can start experimenting on other avenues. It is my hope that a lower class SD card will repair most of the force-close issues I'm having with this current ROM, and that will give me a baseline for future endeavors.

I've got a list of things to try tonight. I hope the solution happens earlier and not later in the cycle.
[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
UPDATE:

Formatted SD card and tried again - fail.

Formatted SD card and flashed my original ROM as published - SUCCESS

Of course, now I have nothing installed, but it's a start and it's not the card.

Conclusion: Win32DiskImager is not creating a proper image for me on the Vista 64 PC. Sigh.

Next step: Linux.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
I'm sorry Windows didn't work out but I can pretty much garuntee success if you use my Linux OP steps because I've used that method a ton on my Ubuntu install. Just make sure you have "bs=1M" at the end of your dd command when restoring your image. I'll be updating my HOWTO soon to reflect this.

I decided to take the burned ROM from my experiment and build it up. I lose some Angry Birds levels but all of the important stuff is cloud-stored and I'll have to re-enter wireless passwords when I find hot spots, but that's ok.

I also pulled down Titanium Backup/Dropbox, but wasn't able to restore the new card to the old one's settings - which confused me a bit.

I'll be using 'dd' on Linux next time I want to try this. I consider Win32DiskImager to be unreliable for creating images from cards, though it is still fine for burning cards of working images.
[Nook Color General] zombieflanders:
I created a CM7 image using the method you linked to, and I'm wondering about a couple things:

When I used Win32DiskImager, it only gave me one partition to choose from ("boot"), which was mounted in Windows XP as E:, but when I look at the IMG file, it's >4GB. Does this mean it got all 4 partitions? I'm planning on doing the Transcend->Sandisk migration for speed that was mentioned upthread, and possibly moving from 8GB to 16GB.

Assuming all partitions were copied over, does this save all my apps and data? I'd rather not have to re-download all of my apps if I don't have to, especially those with downloaded data (i.e. Kindle) or saved settings (i.e. Weather). This also goes for downloads such as PDFs, CBR/CBZ comic book scans, etc. For what it's worth, everything downloaded so far has been part of CM7/Gingerbread or is a free app. Also, I have never changed the install settings which AFAIK means everything was saved to the "sdcard" partition, correct?

Again, assuming everything worked, does this save all my CM7 data and settings? As above, it'd be a pain to reconstitute my GApps/Market, Google & Exchange accounts, remembered wifi passwords for 20+ WAPs, and system settings.

Thanks in advance for helping a noob.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Hold on I'm abit confused with what your saying. Are you still planning on moving your Froyo ROM to a new card or are you moving to CM7?

[Nook Color General] zombieflanders:
Not sure where you got Froyo from, I'm not running it. My current setup is stock B&N 1.2 on the eMMC, and a SD with CM7 running 7.0.3 stable that is more or less "clean" (i.e. no OC kernel, no UI tweaks).

What I want to do is--at the very least--have a full backup of my entire SD card. This is so that I can restore my system to what I have now if I mess up, say, installing the 7.1.0 RC that has the new 2.3.4/.32 kernel, higher speed, and fixes the sleep, animation, and battery issues. The problem is, I don't have my eMMC rooted, and all of the CWM/R threads seem to have conflicting information re: where to install it and how to use it with SD-only builds. Combined with the fact that there's also conflicting information on whether verygreen's method even allows for updating to the new kernel (apparently the uboot.bin upgrade doesn't play well with it, among other things), I'm really not sure how or even if the upgrade is doable without blowing away everything on the SD card and reinstalling as if it was a new CM7 entirely. And if that's what I need to do, I want to have as much information from the old card able to be ported over as I can.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Woops, sorry about that. Got you mixed up with someone else.

Ok the best way to do this is to boot into Linux on your PC. Whether it's a LiveCD, Full Install, or a temporary Ubuntu Windows install(Installs to virtual Disk but runs like Full Install).

First follow my guide to Backup the whole card.

Now there are 2 ways to transfer your apps and settings to the new Install.

Garunteed to get your Apps+App Settings and SD card contents, maybe System Settings(Never tried it myself because I've only switched between incompatible ROMs)

-Download Titanium Backup and Buy Pro

-Go into Titanium Backup and hit Menu

-Select 'Batch' then select 'Backup all apps + system data'

-Wait

-Now Turn off your Nook and copy the SDcard partition's contents to a folder on your computer or straight to the New ROM's SDcard partition

-Boot into your New ROM

-Now Redownload TB & TB Pro

-Go into TB-->Menu-->Batch-->Restore All Apps with Data(Batch Restore only with Pro)

-Wait

-Reboot

TaDa! You should have all your Apps and Settings.

Flash Old Data and SDcard partitions over. CARD MUST BE SAME SIZE(ADVANCED! May not work completely as I've never tried this)

-Perform my Backup guide twice but with 2 changes:

1) add a 3 to the device mount the first time and a 4 the second

IE: /dev/sdc = /dev/sdc3 and /dev/sdc4

2) Change the Image name for 3 to "oldDATA.img" and for 4 to "oldSDCARD.img"

-Now Flash your new ROM or Swap in preprepared card

-Run:

sudo dd if=./oldDATA.img of=/dev/{device id}3 bs=1M
sudo dd if=./oldSDCARD.img of=/dev/{device id}4 bs=1M

IE: sudo dd if=./oldDATA.img of=/dev/sdc3 bs=1M

That should do it. If you have issues just reply.

I'll give that a whirl when I get my hands on a LiveCD, thanks.

One further bit of clarification: the method in the 1st post, which in my case involves just using Win32DiskImager, should theoretically have created an IMG file that is a snapshot of what I currently have on my CM7 SD card (including 4 partitions with the OS, apps, data, storage), correct? In other words, while I wait for a new SD card, any hypothetical screw-ups on the current card can be fixed by just re-imaging the card with the backup IMG file.

Thanks once again for being patient with me. I'm not trying to sound dense, I'm just excessively cautious.
[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
That was my plan too, but Win32DiskImager did NOT make a clean, bootable image for me on my 64 bit Windows Vista PC. I consider it unreliable now. Great for burning known good images to the card, but I don't trust it making an image of an existing card.

-=-=-

As to backing up - Titanium and Dropbox are your friend. You can run Titanium straight into the dropbox (with the paid/PRO) edition. Further, if you need an invite to get more space, drop a line and we'll both get 250 extra MB.

I'm not sure how well it plays with apps you've pulled down from other places than the Market (such as the Amazon 'free app a day' Store) - but those are available to be pulled down again at your leisure anyway, just not in a batch mode.
