Thanks so much for your help, after I copy all the files in boot folder into my boot partition, I am able to boot into recovery by holding the home button!

:D
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hey thanks for pointing this out to me. Over 100 downloads and you're the first to say anything. :rolleyes:

It was an error on my part in the edify script. It's been fixed and uploaded a new version which should flash the all the necessary CWM dualboot files to your SDcard.

Check OP for updated flashable zip for CWM_Dualboot_0.1.zip for your SDcard.

Thanks again "smartmind" :)

@Racks

Thanks for all the work man! I used this to flash mad-murdock to an SD card last night and it worked beautifully.

I'm not sure if anyone addressed this yet, but it is possible to only have 1 SD card and do this. After CWM boots, simply remove the card, then burn the CM7 w/ BT build to it, mount that card, place the new CM7 .zips on the sdcard partition, and then follow the rest of the steps. The NC stays on CWM for quite a while, so make sure it's plugged in.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Hey, no problem. But if you download my CWM_Dualboot_0.1.zip in the OP and flash it to your CM7_SDcard. You will no longer need my CWM_SDcard to flash anymore. Thanks to rookie1, now when booting up if you hold the HOME(n) button, it will boot into CWM for SD and flash any rom you want from there. Leave it alone and it boots to your rom. I say test it out. Saves you the issue of having to keep taking the SDcard in and out.

Thanks,

Racks

Edit: I assume that's what you were talking about anyways..... sooooo disregard my ramblings! :D
[Nook Color Android Development] msherwood:
Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely try that.

I was referring to the initial setup in the OP - it says you need 2 SD cards (1 with exisitng CM7 SD and one to put CWM on). I only had 1 SD card but flashed CWM to it first, then removed it at the CWM boot and flashed CM7 SD on it, then continued. It's a bit slower due to reflashing the same card with 2 different images, but I didn't need another card.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Read through the whole thread, and you will find a way to put CWM on the one card, so that you can do everything with one card, and not even have to remove it.

Racks -

I installed Clockwork Recovery 3.0.1.0 to my eMMC (using Muffin's zip file install).

Now the Multi-Boot will boot into it if I select eMMC and Recovery.

However, it sees the SD card as the 1st partition. Is there any way to get Clockwork Recovery on eMMC to see the 4th partition ? (Otherwise I am limited to the space on the 1st partition for backups and zip files to install.)

Thanks !

Nook-2GB-SDCard-CW3006-VGCM7InstallerAsALTinMultiBoot-v1.zip

I was going to hold off till I had a full function card with CWR 3.0.1.0 modified for SDCard installs but seeing many folks looking for a template card that has CWR for installing things like GAPPS and has VeryGreen's Installer for updating CM7 versions I created this which has been working great for me;

Nook-2GB-SDCard-CW3006-VGCM7InstallerAsALTinMultiBoot-v1.zip

http://db.tt/o7h20Ys

The 4th Partition is tiny to allow fitting on a 2GB card and can be expanded with Easeus PM to fit larger cards

This contains Multi-boot v.4 from 'j4mm3r', with CWR 3.0.0.6 as Recovery, and VeryGreens Installer/Updater as the Alt boot ... thus you can drop a CWR installable SDcard Rom on boot partition 1 and install by multi boot to recovery, or a CM7 Normal nitely and Install or Upgrade exisiting by multi boot to alternate... so basically single SDcard for all...

I did leave copies of the 3 Image files and Ramdisk files on the boot partition in case some instll messes with the originals and they take up 10+Mb so could be deleted if installable packages need more than the 90MB. left on boot...

If folks find this useful I'd appreciate copy to mirrors or other threads as not sure how fast my Dropbox download will be or if it might hit a cap...

To Give credit where credit is due... this is all the work of racks11479, verygreen, j4mm3r, and rookie1, and just shuffled repackaging by me...
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I'm assuming you're using an sdcard with a working rom on it. Which consists of 4 partitions. So currently CWM is mounting your 1st partition, which is boot. In order for it to mount your 4th partition, you would have to edit the CWM recovery.fstab file and point the sdcard mount to /dev/block/mmcblk1p4. You could do this with adb while In CWM with your nook attached to your PC by pulling, edit, and push the recovery.fstab file.

adb pull /etc/recovery.fstab

gedit recovery.fstab (edit the file as suggested above)

adb push recovery.fstab /etc/recovery.fstab

rm recovery.fstab

adb reboot

The only thing is that if you ever wanted to use an sdcard formatted as only a single partition. You would have to re-edit the file again.

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Great work. I'm sure many will find it useful. And that filename is a mouthfull. Lol :)

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Many thanks... but I don't have:

/etc/recovery.fstab

at all in my eMMC build when it is running normally.

I see your reference to "while running CWM" - is this in the boot partition ?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Do what was suggested above while you are booted into clockwork recovery on your emmc. Just go to rom manger and choose "Reboot into Recovery" and then follow the instructions stated above.

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I'm already following the instructions, I was just trying to find out where the file actually is. ;)

PS Rom Manager doesn't end up affecting the boot, because the multi-boot u-boot.bin on the sd card handles it before anything on the eMMC even gets a chance to say.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Ah yes forgot about that. The file is in uRecRam which is in your boot partition. Which is the ramdisk that is loaded when you choose to boot into recovery. Only way to browse the contents is the unpack the ramdisk. Or to use adb while in CWM.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
I assume that rm recovery.fstab is on the PC since it is not an adb command ?

If so, then we are missing something, because it does not stick. If I do it, and reboot, and pull it again, it is back to original.

Perhaps some sort of set-writeable command is needed ?
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
No, you're correct, it's not gonna keep on reboot. Only way to do so is to unpack the uRecRam and edit the recovery.fstab and repack it. Lucky for you I had a minute to do so. This will point CWM to mount the 4th partition of your SDcard. Just remember that you will not be able to use an sdcard with only a single partition, unless you use the original CWM ;)

This is uRecRam from nemiths 3.0.1.0 thread here in the dev forum. Just mount boot, rename the original to uRecRam.bak, just in case. And copy the attached file over after renaming it to uRecRam

http://www.multiupload.com/YZBFV17L12

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Many thanks for doing that !

You might want to put this in the OP. Probably not many people will want eMMC Recovery and also this dual-boot SD Card, but if they do, it might as well be available since you have already made it.

Come to thing of it, the uRecRam that is part of the sdcard-based Recovery on this thread, must also have a similar modification, because it has always listed the 4th partition.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
Yes. The CWM for SD also mounts the 4th partition as "sdcard"

And not a problem. Glad to have been able to help. Its a little mind vacation from staring at my computer at work designing children's clothing aall day.

Pink or turquoise? Should I add. A ruffle? Is taffeta too stiff of a fabric for this newborn creeper?

Don't mind my ramblings. :D

-Racks
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
If you do put it in the first post, here is the link to the 3.0.10 thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971197

that you can include, and just tell people to use the same Manual ADB process to install the uRecRam, (renaming the cited .img file to just uRecRam, and leaving off the kernel push). They can also add a "adb pull /boot/uRecRam uRecRam.original" before the push of your uRecRam, in case they want to use the first partition some time in the future.

Thanks again !
[Nook Color Android Development] Dollyllama:
Hello. First I'd like to thank Racks for starting this thread. I've been reading along with this thread and several others about what you did to create the flashable CM and the Dual boot, etc.

I saw in the NookieComb thread where you stated that you modified the vold.fstab file to use the 4th partition of the SD card and also modified the ramdisk to boot from the SD.

Am I correct in that you simply went into the ROM's /system/etc/vold.fstab file and replaced "auto" with "4" to use the 4th partition?

Also, can you point me in the right direction as to how I would go about editing the uRamdisk file please? I would like to learn how to do this. I'm familiar with THIS guide but I don't think that's what I need to do here...I'll keep trying to figure it out on my own, but I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you in advance.

[Nook Color Android Development] dexx0008:
Quick question: when updating.

-I added the 0.4.2.img to my 4th partition of sdcard

-then I loaded your cwm, then popped in my working nookiecombv0330 installationj on sd and opted to mount my sd card, then chose to install from .zip file. I chose the 0.4.2 image and it proceeded to install. mine has locked up at during the install of this. It has stopped at "installing system..."

should i have chosen a different method to apply the update??? I suppose it could by my class 10 card giving me the issue, before I go and put this on my 8gb and transfer everything back to my 16gb, i just want to make sure the steps for using this update are correct.

How long did you give it. The progress bar might hang there for a while, give it a bit, but it should be doing it's thing. Above process of installing is correct. Mine installed with no issues. But again I'm using a class 6 8gb card. But it should work.

i let it run for 20 plus minutes, way longer than it normally takes. I'll get back to that and figure out if it is the class10 card issue but I'm thinking it is. Currently taking the new mad_murdock cm7 out for a test drive to test out BT on a wireless keyboard. i just hate to give up the nice nookiecomb interface for BT. :)

Update: must have been the class10 sdcard, used my class 6 (8gb) and install of nookiecomb 0.4.2 went fine.

quick request for mad murdock tt.rc2 for sd card. :)

and to contribute for anyone who wants a dual boot option that defaults to sd card, but boots to internal if you want by holding the home button see this thread (link below). I used this with my cm7 mad murdock build from Racks and works fine. I didn't attempt to boot to recovery which is also available. I love these boot options for the rare times when i want to load stock nook and don't feel like removing the sd card. Best of all it's super simple to try. Just mount sd card in your computer, replace u-boot.bin on boot partition with one provided in thread below. (backup original first) thats it. If you want to go back, just replace backup.

update: **warning-that thread mentions not to use the recovery mode as it doesn't do as intended any may mess with internal.** with that in mind, would it be possible Racks for you to create something that boots to sd or stock without a recovery tool???

Racks,

Perhaps you can add some info on your main page. i didn't see a dual boot option there for this but only the dual boot option which you can choose between sd card and recovery. I should note I didn't boot into recovery to check for differences between your clockwork recovery on a separate card which i prefer actually. Makes it easiest to change my setup up quite a bit since I'm still working with various builds.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the info, I'll probably update post with jamm4r's boot menu, only because it gives you the option of booting to EMMC (normal, recovery, alt) and SDcard (normal, recovery, alt). And therefore you can have both CWM for nand and SD.

**Oh and latest build by Mad_Murdock RC2 updated in OP

[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
In the thread it is mentioned because the original Nooks recovery mode will give you the option to wipe and reset your device. So, yes if you don't know what you're doing, you could wipe your nook. But it's no big deal if it's not rooted anyways. You'll just have to go through the option of re-registering your nook again.

What I could do "maybe" is point recovery to SD boot instead of the emmc, "maybe".This way you're never messing with stock internal recovery. And instead of original CWR, you can just use my modded one, then you'll never have to worry about touching the internal at all as it is mounting SDcard partitions only for recovery.

Sounds like fun, i'll take a crack at it when I have a minute.

I've already moved j4mm3r's u-boot.bin there and it works flawlessly. I have some magazine subscriptions that I can only see on my stock (rooted) NC, but love having CM7 and recovery on the SD card. I just made sure I saved the u-boot.bin from your dual boot setup (in case) and put j4mm3r's there. Also included his startup file which auto selects your system, emmc or SD. All in all a great way to go. Thanks for everything you've done so far, it's been awesome!

Just wondering if your version of Phiremod 5.3 was supposed to come with GAPPS already installed. In phiredrop's thread it said GAPPS were included, so I was just wondering if something was messed up with my install or if I need to wipe my install and then flash your GAPPS.

An even easier way is the free Samba Filesharing App.

Click "enable" button and it connects via wifi to your PC.

Then Windows Explorer can explore the "sdcard" partition of your card on your Nook - you don't even need to remove it from your Nook, nor do you need to connect the USB wire.

Saves wear and tear on both those connectors on the Nook.

Thanks! I just can't. Decide between nookiecomb and cm7

Racks, how do you remove applications that you don't use? I've searched for a while but haven't seen anything. If i'm running mikegonz nookie froyo and go to the application screen i can hold over an app, then drag it to the trash to remove but none of the apps will be. Is there a setting I need to do to override this? For example, I'd like to remove maps, gmail, places, canvas, mail'd.

I know in cm7 i can just create a new screen with the apps I want displayed when hitting the the application launcher/drawer. I can then choose between different ones. That works well. I know using the launcher pro restore that mikegonz provided hides some unused apps. Any recommendations on how to handle this???

Edit: finally found the hidden apps menu. I didn't see it before. disregard.

With a fresh install of nookiecomb froyo, i can' find some apps in the market store,,, dolphin hd browser or yahoo sports (used to be sportacular), tunein radio.

Am I correct in assuming that any apps that aren't found in market are due to running froyo? and that I can install these apps outside of the market, with root explorer or similar???

thanks,

[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
