Hey, I'm trying to restore my NC to stock and one of the methods I tried has it boot-looping now. I'm now trying to transfer these img's ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353 ) to the /sdcard directory on the sdcard but when I put the card in my reader, all I can see is the 115mb boot directory and not the rest.
How can I access the file directory of the sdcard so I can transfer the boot.img and system.img to the right place?

I have 3 files on my sd card that needs to be pushed to my EXT3. These files are from my old sd card.
Files are
app
app-private
dalvik-cache
They are currently on my fat32 partition of my new sd card.
What commands do I use in adb to push these files to EXT3 ?
Can you give the commands for terminal as well because with my new sdcard I can't boot into the Rom
For some reason also with my new sd card I can't boot into the rom even after a nanoid restore and reflash of the rom.
So, I downloaded the nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip file mentioned in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883175
I assume the next step is to make that zip file available to clockwork on the nook somehow? Is that correct? How do I do that?
Thanks.
custom.3 ? I see only nookie-froyo-flashable-0.6.8.zip on the op.
Anyway thats what I'm on and its what I finally decided on after a week of ROM jumping. It runs on the internal flash memory. emmc.
Two steps:
1)on your pc download a suitable CWM recovery .img file. Write it to your sd card via a sd card read/writer. I'm using the CWM 3.0.0.5 image. Next copy the above froyo image .zip to the sd card.
2)insert the sd card in your nook and boot from the power off state. It will boot off the SD card into CWR recovery. Use the recovery menu (vol+,vol-, nook n) and install the .zip file from the sd card. Next remove the sd card and reboot.
done.
I used the 4GB sdcard CWR .img file from here, can flash/backup/recover HC and froyo.

When I copy the froyo image to the card where do I place it?
Thanks!
Root directory
Ok - I am attempting to install CM7 on an SD card using verygreen's instructions. I need everyone to pretend I am their grandmother and expect that is the technical knowledge I posess .
I "think" I wrote the image file correctly to the SD Card. I used the Win32 DiskImager thing and wrote it there. However, when I go to put the CM7 zip file it says the card needs to be formatted first. So I format it.....but then doesn't that get rid of the image I jsut wrote to it?
Either way, I can't get the damn thing to boot to anything other than the regular Nook screen.....It is rooted already, but I dont think that should matter. Do I need a setting somewhere to select that it boot from the SD Card?
HELP! I'm stuck at the most trivial of places
I would try the instructions again and not format it before trying to boot the nook from it...when I loaded it onto the SD I didn't need to format it after applying the image (as you said...this erases it)
But when I go to add the zip file I can't because its telling me it needs to be formatted. I've tried formatting it first before doing anything but once I write the image file it wont let me add the zip.....
After you format do you eject the card and then re-insert it?
Otherwise, try another SD card. I find the Nook Color is picky about the SD Card.
Well, apparently I wasn't writing the image correctly. I was writing the .img file not the .gz file (which required me to get some 7zip thing). I extracted it to the SD Card, and then it allowed me to put the .zip file on the card.
But it still won't boot to the SD card. Do I need to do anything other than turn it on with the sd card in the nook? Do I need to change a setting anywhere to allow it to boot to sd? Is it ok that my nook is rooted?
one thing after another
Wait, what? You should be doing:
1) use win32diskimager to write 'generic-sdcard.img' to a card
2) eject the card
3) re-insert card
2) copy the file 'update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip' to the partition that appears. DO NOT UNZIP
When I used image writer and wrote the .img file, it didn't let me add the .zip file to the card.....said I needed to format it first. Since it was named .img.gz I thought maybe I needed 7zip to extract.
This is getting confusing.
Do NOT unzip 'update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip'
Do unzip 'generic-sdcard-v1.1.img.gz' -> 'generic-sdcard.img'
i'm glad i'm not the only one confused! You totally helped me...I needed to unzip the .gz thing and then write the .img file (I told you to talk to me like a grandma!)
Its booting now.....I see a penguin!!!
thanks everyone
Hi guys,
I'm having bit of a problem with my DS7. I am trying to install 514 by CMW from Manii's index files on streakdroid.
But every time I copy the zip file to my internal sd card and boot into CWM..it disappears???
I put it on my external SD and its there,but I cant use that to flash the zip files right?
I tried several times putting it on my internal sd, it copies ok..but when I'm about to flash it in CWM..it always disappear..What is the problem with my DS7?
thanks guys.
anybody???
I have been trying to create the SD card. I have followed the following instructions:
"You'll need my CWM early 7.1 image that you'll need to write to an sdcard, at least 4G in size. (gunzip and use dd or winImage)
Also get the the stock image from stock-ovation-2.1.0.zip and either place it to internal storage or reboot from the card and use adb push it to /sdcard (basically it's like you install CM ROM, refer to user-friendly thread in General if you cannot follow my condensed instructions here, only use different file name). Note this already has gapps and other stuff, so you don't need any additional installs other than stock at the beginning."
However, on the SD card there is a partition with 5 files but it is only 110mb and I cannot write the ovation zip file to it. I tried using a partition manager to increase the size of the partition but that did not work. To make sure that i am doing this right I unzip the CWM early 7.1 image and use WIN32 to flash it to the SD card. How do I increas the size of the partition so I can put the ovation zip file on the SD card Thanks

You need to download that file onto your internal storage, e.g. boot your nook without the new SD card, navigate with a browser or other means, and download the file. When you later boot into the cwm on the SD card, you will see the option to apply a zip file from internal storage, and navigate to it from there. You do not want to resize any partitions on SD card.

So the SD card is bootable and the file I need to put on internal storage is the ovations zip file? So once I have rebooted applied the zip is the B&N operating system installed on the SD card so I can delete the zip file on internal memory? Thanks I bought the Nook HD+ rooted and I want to deregister it from the previous owner and register it in my name. I assume this would be the way to do it without returning the Nook to stock. Thanks

Do you have his screenname and password? You will need it to register it on SD and then you can deregister.
