[Q] Cant boot to SD card - Nook Color General

I am running the flashed HC v4 rom and I want to try Froyo or go back to stock. I have tried a bunch of different clockwork .img files. I have created the bootable SD and verified the files are there but the NC always boots into HC no matter what. Any thoughts or help please. Sorry I am a noob!

Give another SD card a try if you can. See if that works.

Help a noob with monster CWM and getting CM7 installed

Hi I would seriously appreciate any help! I am at a lost after hours of reading.
I had started off with autonooter, and now looking to install CM7. I had been told that I need to have the monster rootingpack. So I'm trying to go from autonooter to CM7.
I had tried to write monster clockwork... and did the 8gb clockwork, says its done but nothing shows up on my sd card. I then proceeded to format my sd card and still no luck.
I then tried to go into Rom manager and reboot into recovery but now there is an error! I'm so frustrated, I don't know what I am suppose to do.
Please let me know if you can offer help! Thanks in advanced.
Difficult to say without more - I assume you are using WinImage (run as adminstrator) to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk on physical drive"? If done correctly, there should only be four files on the drive (at which point, you need to drag and drop the zipped ROM to the drive.
Dumb question - is the flash card an 8 GB flash card?

I yeah I used winimage as adminstrator and put the img file on and chose the drive the 8g sd card was on, click write, bar went up and it said done. looked at my sd card and there is absolutely ZERO files on it....
Appreciate asking, any thoughts?
Are you using a card slot that came with your computer? If so go get a true card reader, that may be the issue.

This is an interesting idea... is this usually an issue? I was putting my microsd card in a SD converter card and putting into a built in SDcard reader in my lenovo.
Is there a way to get my pc to read my sd card from my nook?

In order to flash CM7 you need to use the EXT4 Compatiable CWR

CM7 Nook SD Card image?

Does anyone know if there is a SD Card runnable image of CM7 for the Nook? I don't want to root my Nook instead I am running the SD Card image OS at boot. I am currently running Honeycomb and while I like it I wanted to try CM7 before I get settled on a base ROM. that said does anyone know if one is available or how I could go about setting one up on my SD card?
Thanks,
Adan
There was talk of one in this thread:

Guess it didn't work or mckooter didn't get to it yet.

Using ONE SD card to flash SD ROM? Possible?

SO basically I want to
1.) burn a CWR SD card.
2.) Put it in the nook and boot into CWR
3.) Take the card out, format it back to fat32
4.) Put the Phiremod 6.3 SD flashable rom.zip on it.
5.) Pop it back into the nook and mount the storage.
6.) Flash Phiremod onto the SD card.
7- Turn nook on and Profit??
Well, I just booted my NC to CWR from SD, then removed the SD and was able to read a second card without any error from CWR.
So I suppose that would work in theory, the only difference would be you are doing it on one single card and not two. Though I don't know how safe it would be.
Yea I took the plunge and tried it.
Although I flashed
Update 4/30: v6.2 Update(This will format /system only): http://www.multiupload.com/58WUW1AZ0A

found in this thread Flashing Roms to SD CARD -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998861
and I didn't boot into Phiremod, instead it was nook stock.
Would I first need to flash V6.zip, then flash the 6.2 update.zip?
EDIT* Did not work. Still boots into stock
How about you try this:
[ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater
I don't know if it works with a Phiremod ROM but it doesn't hurt to try. I used this to install plain CM7 on my Card.

SD Card Boot Issues

Hello all,
I've searched the site, but cannot find anyone that has addressed this issue. I have a 8gb patriot class 10 card that is (was) running the Honeycomb Hybrid RC1 and CM7 with Phiremod 6.3 image posted on here. I'm also running the jammr's modified boot menu so I don't have to remove my card to boot stock.
For the second time now, this card has gone from working fine to not being able to boot either OS. Other than rewriting the card, is there any way to repair my ability to boot? I have a good backup, but would like to know if this issue is fixable so I don't have to rewrite my card every single time this happens.
Thank you in advance for the help.
Maybe I've just answered my own question. If I just reload the contents of a clean copy of my boot partition onto this card, that should fix the problem right?

Need help to restore to stock 1.3

I bought a nook color for my 9 year old son as a gift, mainly for him to read more books. After browsed this site, I was able to create a bootable SD of CM7, and then I rooted the NC. Now I am thinking maybe it is not a good idea to give my son a rooted NC because he can load game on it.
I did a factory reset, everything back to stock 1.3, but when I use the bootable SD to try to boot to CM7, always failed, even I made a new CM7 SD, first it will boot to SD and install CM7, but after restart, it always goes to nook stock rom, did something wrong?
Thanks for your help.
even I made a new CM7 SD, first it will boot to SD and install CM7,

Please explain all the steps.....
Sounds like your Nook CM7 "install" SD card is actually a bootable SD card.....
Will CM load with the card in? Is CM not loading only when you take the card out?
If these statements are true, its because CM is actually installed on your SD card and running from there, nothing is actually being installed to your nooks internal memory.

Hi, thanks for your replay. After tried lots of flushing, I finally found what's wrong. Yes, my SD is a bootable, what I like is, most time NC just run stock rom, only books, no games, for my son. When I use it, I can plug in sd card and run CM7, and use it as a regular tablet (poor kid).
I put CM7 install zip and google apps zip on the bootable SD, it flashed the rom and the gapps no problem, but after a reboot, it never be able to boot from SD card again. The problem is, I shouldn't put both zip at the same time, has to be flash CM7 first, then reboot to CWM again to flash gapps.
