So I'm booting from a SD card into CM7 7.0.2 currently. I'm using a custom boot file so I can choose to hold down the home screen button if I want to boot into the stock 1.2 OS instead.
I only have this single 2gb SD card to use atm. What would be the proper process to update to the nightly 69 build from here? I need to make sure that when I update, my current SD card is in there and that's where the install is saved to. I had an issue prior where I booted with an alternate SD card (which I no longer have) and it installed to the eMMC. That wasn't fun as I had to do a complete restore.
Thanks!
I am booting from an SD card.
To update, I put the uSD card in the PC and then just copy the new build zip file to the uSD card.
Then I put the card in the Nook, press the N + power button and when I see the "Touch the Future of Reading", count to 4 and release the buttons. Don't count to slow. I noticed one time the TTFOR disappeared and it booted into the Nook software. I just shut it down and did it again.
The Nook will automatically see the new zip file, expand it and load the new build. Once done, it will delete the zip file from the uSD card.
I noticed the newer builds automatically reboot the unit but if yours doesn't, it will stop at "Flushing Cache" and sit there. Leave it alone until the screen goes dark (a couple of minutes) and then reboot it (N + power button). You should get the Android. and about a minute later the CM7 spinning logo.
You are updated. And you don't lose any apps or data either!
If you are overclocking, I would set it back to 800MHz before you do this as a precaution.
Finally, there is an easy way to add overclocking to a new build. You just need the overclock zip file, the new build and WinRAR 3.80. Let me know if you want that info.
Well that worked as you said, thanks! I did have one problem but I fixed it myself. As I mentioned, I have a modified boot file which loads the Nook OS if I hold the N button. So trying to get into recovery or have the CM7 noticed the .zip file by holding Power+N didn't work. Luckily I still had the original u-boot.bin file and was able to copy it back onto the SD card and then I was able to get the update installed.
As to the OC, I assume I'd just put it back on the same way I did with the original.
I've read your post, and a few others but I'm either not understanding (my money is on this one!!!!) or missing a step.
I'm running Nook Color Stock 1.2 on emmc and CM 7 on the SD card.
I've tried using ROM Manager as well as copying the latest nightly to the /boot partition of the SD card.
If I boot into recovery and update the zip from the SD, I always end up over-writing the emmc of the nook, losing stock and all my apps, instead of the CD card being updated.
What am I doing wrong?? Would like to upgrade to the latest nightly. But I don't want to screw up stock (hate having to restore and redownload all the apps every time).
Thanks
No matter what I do, I always end up over-writing the emmc instead of updated the SD card.

All you have to do is put the update zip on the boot part' of the sd card and boot up the sd install like normal and it'll see the zip and automatically flash it for you.

If you're booting CM7 off uSD, you can forget about the "ROM Manager".

You are probably using the install zip option. You do not do this. You just put the zip on the boot partition, boot into recovery and the reboot. DO NOT flash anything.

Let me try to clarify... when they are saying boot into recovery... they aren NOT meaning Clockwork Recovery... they mean using the boot menu (press "n" button when you see the Cyaonogen logo) and selectin boot from SD card and Recovery. That is the SASD rocovery (install) mode and will install the update zip file from the root of the boot partition.
Thanks for clarifying DizzyDen!!! That's the part that I was screwing up
Like I just screwed up the Stock again...but that's alright...live and learn
Updating the latest right now...then I'll be putting stock back on emmc
Thanks again for the clarification
Updating to the latest nightly on CM7 SD installation?
I'm a newbie so please have some patience. I'm trying to do the same thing, update my cm_encore_full-159.zip to cm_encore_full-177.zip. I boot from a microsd card to Android. When I install it I pushed a button during the early boot process and went to a menu. Changed "boot device" from "emmc" to "SD" and "Normal" to "Alternative". When I turn on the Nook Color after it installs, I do nothing and it boots to Android but if I put a button it goes to the menu where I push the volume down button 3 times and I boot to the stock Nook Color. So, if I copy the cm_encore_full-177.zip to my microsd card, go to the menu, change the "emmc" to "SD" and "Normal" to "Alternative, this should update my 159 to 177 without losing any apps, email, etc.? Thanks

1. in bold text above... select "Recovery" not Alternative...
2. you either move the SD to your computer to put the update on the boot partition of the SD or you have to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to a directory (I created /sdcard/boot for this) and push the update to the BOOT partition.
Nook Color How to Update to CM7 Nighthly
Good Day,
What a fantastic website! I am new to the forum. Could you please answer the questions or provide a link to the answers?
1. What utility and procedure would I follow to back up the stock Nook Color partitions in ROM to include the stock Nook Color apps I have installed?
2. What utility and procedure would I follow to back up the apps I have purchased from the Android Market place for CM7 running off the SD card?
3. I have update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip installed. I want to update to cm_encore_full-177.zip. Do I use win32image to "burn" the new nightly to the SD card? Or, do I drag and drop the new
nightly to the SD card? If yes, on which directory (folder) on the SD card do I place the new nightly build?
Thank you!
atl10spro
Try my best to help.
1. I don't deal with stock, so can't help here.
2. I never intend to run any backup when booting off uSD, can't help.
3. Assuming you're booting off uSD, then just copy the new .zip file (do not rename, do not unzip) into the boot partition (root folder) of the card. Insert it into the NC, boot it into Recovery. When it's in recovery mode, it'll fully automatically do the update then deletes the .zip file, you don't have to do anything, just wait until it shuts itself down then you power it up.
I am running the following - CM7 - nightly build 08022011 on SD - Dalingrin's OC kernel 2.6.32.9 @ 1200MHz NOOKcolor
I am trying to update to a newer nightly build. I have the file downloaded on the SD card but can't get it to update.
Where does the file have to go?
I tried to reboot into recovery mode and that didn't do anything.
Any help would be great.

I use the SD card method to have the nook boot into CM7 and when the SD card is pulled, the nook would be stock to be used by my kids. But I think I messed things up and can't restore. Here is what I have done:
1- I tried to update the stock version to 1.3 manually from B&N website but soon realized I could not. It seems like when in CM7, I had tried to flash CWM recovery (which was not needed and is pretty buggy in SD card method for nook). Now the recovery in emmc appears to be CWM.
2-for some stupid reason when I got into CMM recovery, I formatted boot, system,data and cache (not sure if I did boot also or not). My thinking was to flash a stock image and be fixed. But I am now stuck.
Is there a way to go back to stock on the nook? I am still able to boot into SD card and CM7 nightly. Oh ya, I use Linux Ubuntu not windows. TIA
Sounds like you should get the system back to stock before proceeding any further.
Follow the instruction here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor_UnRooting
The problem is that I get into the CWM recovery and not given the reset option following the options on that page. Any idea?
I think my problem is that I'm not really rooted in true sense since I was running off the SD card. Maybe I shoudl root properly, then unroot?
I did kind of the same thing once. I made an Sd card image with CWM on another sd card -- basically as if you are going to install CM7 to emmc. However, once you get to the point where you would flash Cm7, use the stock zip ROM. It will install that to emmc so it will be back to normal. You should then be good to go.

If you follow the instructions you should be left with an unrooted initialized stock Nook Color. Register your account. Then you can wait for the NC to download the 1.3 update, or side load it. Once that is installed you have an unrooted 1.3 stock system.
From there you can try your CM7 card. Don't forget to remove your SD card at the very beginning since like a PC the NC will try to boot off the SD card if it is present.

when I follow the instruction, I am not given the factory reset option. I am stuck at the n screen. It flashed the read forever but then stuck at the n screen. Do I have to wait longer than 5 minutes?
None of this is mine, I owe it ALL to the threads mentioned below.
So as in many posts on XDA say, it's almost impossible to brick the Nook. What a great device. I had to format my SD card to use it to "un-brick" my nook but it was done. I Mainly used the info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Burnt a bootable CWM image onto my SD card. It took a while doing it with dd in Linux. I'm sure it's the same in Windows or Mac. It took about 20-30 minutes. It also took a while to unzip/extract the img file from the downloaded file. Be patient
Then used the CWM recovery remover file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 to remove my CWM recovery and used the 1.0.1 file from same thread to flash the stock image onto the nook.
Once the SD card is ready, just drop those files in the root of the sd card. It should have 4 other files in it to boot into CWM recovery from the sd card and let you use the menus to flash those two zip files. It took a while but it's all in those threads. Thanks to the members. Now lets see if I can go up to 1.3 and then root it again.

I bought a Nook HD and would like to try out CM10 via an SD card installation. I've read through a lot the android developer forum topics, but I am confused as to what the SD card installation actually does.
I am following the steps for "CM10 sdcard Installer" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063968
I used PlugPBX to format and write the IMG file to my SD card.
Before I plug it into my Nook HD, I like to know what it means in step 5: 'Wait for it to finish installation." Does this mean the package from the SD card will install CM10 to the internal memory? Or does that just set it up on the SD card? After doing it this way, am I still able to remove the SD card and reboot to go back to the stock Nook OS?
Sorry, for the noob questions, but I didn't want to do anything that might not be easily reversible, possibly void the warrant, or make it so I can't return the Nook HD within B&N's 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!

What that is referring to is the SD needs to make more changes to prepare the SD for installing CM. It creates more partitions on the SD and formats them so a ROM can be installed to it later. No changes are being made to your internal memory or stock setup. Then you still need to install the actual CM ROM. And at any time, when powered off, you can remove the SD and boot to stock as if nothing were ever done to it.

Thanks for the reply!
To flash the ROM I just put cm-10-20130101-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip from the link in the OP on the root of the SD card and install via the CM recovery, right?
Then do I need to flash the Gapps separately?
The order doesn't matter and I don't need to wipe anything in between right?
The order does matter, ROM first and gapps second. But you don't have to wipe anything.
And why are you choosing that old CM10 ROM from January? Use the latest CM10.1 ROM, you will be happier. And if you do, you will need a newer gapps too. Gapps-20130301-jb-signed.zip. Get it from goo.im.
And no, you do not put the CM ROM on the root partition, since recovery will not see it there. Follow the directions in the OP to get it where recovery can see it.

Here is my problem description:-
I was using CM10.1.3 emmc with CWM latest version as suggested in the respective thread. I have installed a SD formatter app from Google Play and tried to format my 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card inside the device. After that, the sd card was non writable. So I tried to restart the device, but alas, it got stuck in the 1st Black screen with the big Nook. Not even able to boot into CWM. Even the CyanogenMod logo didn't come.
I have a bootable CWM (6.0.28) recovery MicroSD card (8GB Class 4) and used it to boot into recovery, cleared Cache/ Factory reset, Dalvik Cache and then again flashed Carbon unofficial 4.3 JB rom and Gapps for JB 4.3. But it still getting stuck in the 1st Nook screen.
After reading a lots of thread here, it looks like that during the format of SD card, it somehow destroyed the proper partitions of the emmc. But unlike others mentioned in different Bricked Nook HD thread, I am able to access each components of emmc when booted from CWM Bootable card, able to mount internal storage etc.
So, is there a solution to restore the emmc partitioning properly? I tried to connect it to PC for connecting it through adb but didn't have the proper usb driver for it. The driver I got, needs the hardware id of the product to modify the inf file which sadly I can't access in the device.
I also tried to restore it to stock 2.2 rom from the CWM backup created earlier before installing CM10.1.3. It got restored but didn't solve the problem, it still getting stuck into Black screen with Nook written to it, the one comes before CM logo.
Please help.
Anyone? Please guys help me here.

You are using some strange and outdated tools. That AParted probably really messed up you internal memory.
That guide is an old one for putting CM10 on an SD install. And you do not install the SD version of CM10.2 with that 6027 bootable CWM SD. Pick a newer guide and start again.

But during restart, it is showing the message that /Bootdata/BCB missing and probably that is the reason, it is always rebooting into recovery mode. I have checked in one thread where you have made a flashable Zip file to restore the system partitions. Can it be done for my case?

Will that fix the emmc partitions in HD+? Initially I have installed CM10.1.3 by using this method and after the issue occurred, I tried to install the Carbon 4.3 ROM through CWM recovery after performing FActory reset, cache cleaning and Dalvik Cache cleanup. But that didn't solve the issue. I have even tried to restore the stock Nook 2.2 firmware from the CWM recovery which I created earlier before installing the CM10.3. But the issue didn't get resolved.

If you used the CWM from that thread and flashed the plain stock 2.2.0, it should have fixed it.

I have tried the following steps:-
Downloaded the TWRP emmc 2.6 Bootfiles, copied them to a 64GB Class 10 sd card by formatting it to FAT32, setting it to active and then copied the Files (MLO file 1st) into it.
Also copied Nook stock 2.2 zip in the sd card.
With the card installed, Nook HD+ booted into TWRP recovery.
Performed a factory reset and wipe data.
Installed the stock rom.
After that, I checked the Bootfile partition and it was having the BCB file.
I am also able to access 27GB Emmc and copied all the zip files to Internal store using TWRP file manager.
Now I took out the SD card and tried to boot the Tab but it was again stuck into 1st Boot screen with Nook logo.
When I inserted the card 2nd time and checked the Boot Data partition using the TWRP's integrated file manager, there was nothing inside of the /BootData folder.
Is there a way to build the /Bootfiles/BCB for Nook HD plus?

it will do no good to build that file since you already had it and the boot to emmc wiped it out. TWRP puts it back when it exits, but your normal boot seems to remove it.

Please suggest me a solution for it. I read here that there is a special type of SD installation possible with no access to the emmc and the OS will threat the SD card like it treats the emmc. Could you link me to a proper guide to do that?
Also, in my case, what might be the main problem of deletion of the Bootdata partition during emmc boot? Is there any possible solution for it?
Also, if possible, provide me the Zip file for the fix, just wanted to try it out as nothing is working till now.
Anybody? please let me know how to fix the emmc partitions. I still has hope as I am completely able to access my EMMC via SD card boot.While using TWRP recovery, I can even copy files from my SD card to internal memory of the device. Also able to flash Roms too.
So please provide me a flashable Zip file which can reconstruct the EMMC file structure for proper boot.

I'm also in need of the same thing. I believe SD card manager or some such program fubared my partitions so now my Nook HD+ just hangs at the nook logo when booting from EMMC. I can boot off SD just fine though.

I was also in a similar situation in that I was stuck at the nook screen and not able to go beyond. I thought it was due to a discharged battery and leaving the Nook in my car in -20 F weather. However, I was not able to enter recovery. I found a thread by Verygreen detailing an SD card only installation for bad emmc units. I dd'd the image to the sd card and booted to cwm on the card. Then shut down, pulled the sd card and copied the rom to the card. Rebooted and the install went through correctly. I now have a working Nook HD+ although I don't have emmc access. But at least it works now. I found the thread in one of the other "Stuck on Nook screen" threads. Hope this helps you.
Hi Guys, needing a bit of help to see if I can get my Nook HD+ back up and running.
A little background. Nook is 2013 model. Has worked pretty well in past, had added files last year to allow access to Play and flash, worked well, so I came back here when my nook went to the 99% reboot screen and has locked up there. B&N can't seem to help any. None of my computers will recognize the nook, so I can't sideload the NPK update that they said might fix the nook. So after laughing at their offer of an extra 10% off an ereader or the new Samsung, I decided to try changing to CM's Ovation. Have tried to follow Leapinlar's thread on installing CM and have tried 10.2,10.1 and a version of 11 along with another d/l of 10.2 from another poster.
I can boot from the SD card, but with really no currently working ROM, I need to use the install to internal version.
So I've used SD formatter on the SD card, copied over the files in order listed and then booted to the card.
Did a backup and restore, worked
did wipe data and factory reset
then install from sd card,
the system then gives me an error when installing the CM files:
Set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/CM XXXX (no matter which CM I pick)
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any idea as to how I can resolve this?
I'm at a loss and can't find resolution.:crying:
Thank you!!
What recovery exactly are you using to try and install CM? The one you boot from SD card? What version is it?
Some recoveries are too old to install CM11, for example. I suggest you install TWRP 2.7.1.0 as internal recovery on your Nook. You can download it here. Just put that TWRP zip file onto your bootable SD card, boot the HD+ and install the zip file. Then remove the SD card and format it, or use a different one that isn't bootable. Put the CM11 install zip file onto the card, insert it, and boot the internal recovery by holding the "N" button and powering up the tablet. Keep the N button pressed until the TWRP splash screen shows. If TWRP doesn't boot, then something went wrong. If it does boot, you can try and install CM11 with it.

Yes, as the prior user said, you are using the wrong version of CWM to install the CM zip. CM10.1 and CM10.2 need v6028 or v6036. CM11 needs v6046. You can get them from the dummies thread linked in my signature.

I have tried to follow the thread instructions and used what appeared to be matching installers, if I didn't, I did see error for not matching. I'll go and try above recovery. Got to probably get another sd card.

Tried all three of these in that order. none worked. I'll go try above and see if it will work.
