Yesterday I wrote the 0.6.8 image to my sd card and booted up froyo and everything went fine. I was going to burn it to the internal memory but changed my mind and decided to keep going with the bootable version.
I reformatted my card using a disc utility to FAT32 and re-burned the 0.6.8 image. It will boot up but I keep getting errors that the application was forced to close. None of the apps can be used.
I have read these boards for hours and can't find a similar situation. That does not mean that it isn't here somewhere. I would appreciate any or simply being pointed to another thread that could help.

I didn't think you could brick it, since it only boots off of and writes to the sd card, nothing in the nook itself is touched.
i was tryign to get nookie froyo onto the eMMC, the version designed for it. and it seemes to have erased everything on the main drive. any solutions?
Third time is happens to me... My Nookie Froyo SD installation got corrupted somehow. The first two times I was getting a lot of FC's all over the place so I just decided to rebuilt yet another SD card.
This time, it just stopped booting (stuck on the Android logo in the boot process).
So... I am going to build Nookie Froyo on my SD card yet once more, but I would like to be able to do backup of the whole SD card at various (stable) points.
Ideally I would be able to create an image (using a Windows 7 computer) that I could burn back on the SD card using win32diskimager.
Thanks for any pointers.
Looks like Win32DiskImage has a "Read" button... so the solution might have been just under my nose the whole time... In the process of redoing the Nookie SD card, so I'll try in a little while.
Newbie...
....Acronis True Image do the job....perfectly an without any problem.
Yesterday, I transfer my old 8Gb to new 16Gb after 4ext partitioning and aligning ...all in all 20 min. of work
I just got my "new" nook and tried to boot Froyo 0.6.8 from an SD card. It just gets stuck at the blue ANDROID_ screen. I tried Froyo 0.6.7 and redoing 0.6.8 but it never got past ANDROID_. I'm using a new Transcend 4GB class 6 card. I first tried writing it using WinImage and my laptop's built in card reader, but when that card didn't boot I tried using a USB card reader and Win32diskimager. The Nook came with 1.1 on it and I haven't done anything to the internal rom.
Any ideas? How long should it stay on the Android_ screen if its working?
Did you figure this out?
This sounds like the classic failure described with 16GB cards on multiple threads. There's a nice consolidated thread on cards that are known to work. I'd check that. I have froyo working beuatifully on an 8Gb class6 transcend card.
Most likely you have some glitch on the card. I would do a complete deep wipe of the card (e.g. using SDformatter, all options). Then reflash with win32diskimager, then expand the SDcard partition with EASUS
it should boot in a couple of minutes tops the first time round.
I looked at those threads about cards before I bought one and the Transcend 4gb, class 6 I got is one that seemed to work.
I haven't been able to get the nook to boot off any card. I tried doing the format suggested and tried another 1gb PNY card with the bootable clockwork. I've tried writing with the internal SD writer in my laptop and with a Kodak (sakar) usb writer and with Win32DiskImager and WinImage.
I suppose the USB writer I have might not be good, but I don't want to get another one without knowing its one that works. So far I don't know whether the problem is with the cards I'm writing or for some reason this nook won't boot off SD card.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I probably had a flaky 4gb card. Now it won't format or write whatever I do.
dumb Q, but is the 1gb card you ahve also flaky now too... in which case it might well be the reader?
Will your nook stock OS read the SD card? (e.g. throw some photos ont here and see if the nook will show them) that way eliminate the nook.
There's some older threads that suggest first formatting the SD card with the nook stock OS, but I've never needed to do that.
I'd persevere - there's definately some plusses of froyo over the rooted B&N (especially if you use adhoc networks a lot), and you absolutely need nookie froyo as a backup incase you fry something when you take the plunge to CM7 (which is phenomenal, despite being so early in its release)
The 1gb I borrowed seems ok. I managed to boot a card with a bootable clockwork on it. I didn't do anything to Nook stock OS yet. I want to be clear that I can recover if I do first. I did get another reader, but I think it was probably the card. I wasn't able to boot of the 1gb at first because I was making a mistake in unzipping the .tar.gz files.
Do you have any pointers of where to find out about how to use Clockwork recovery?
I am using 0.6.7 on a 8gb class 6 Transcend... it's working great, no issues with booting.
alright so i rooted out my nook color and now i would like to get NOOKIE FROYO 2.2 on my device. I have read everything but there is one question that i have that no one seems to put out there. And yes i am new to rooting etc. but rooting was damn easy and looks like loading nookie froyo to sd card is just as easy.
Question (probably dumb) is running the bootable sd card on my already rooted nooko color alright?
2) and it is really as simple as writing the nookie froyo image to the sd card plugging it into the nook and rebooting that simple?

1, as far as I know running roms off sd card is very safe, rooted or not rooted.
2, Yes... burn nookie froyo on sd card then turn on NC.
Yes, running from the SD card is safe.
I second what Pinoy8125 wrote.
1. Running off the SD card is safe and easy even with your interal memory being rooted. Look at it this way, you can try different images just by swapping different sd cards. Try the 6.8, 6.7, HC, etc.
2. Yep, just burn the image onto the SD card. Expand the 4th partition if the image size and the card size differ. This will allow you to recover the lost space. Turn on the Nook and see what you go.
I am getting very nice performance running Froyo 6.8 off of the SD card. I ran into micro sdhc compatibility issues which caused booting as well as performance issues. I have another thread out there on this issues. Awaiting people's feedback on this.

"2. Yep, just burn the image onto the SD card. Expand the 4th partition if the image size and the card size differ. This will allow you to recover the lost space. Turn on the Nook and see what you go."
Now... I need help...how to go about expanding the 4th partition to recover lost space? I don't have a single idea on how to do this. Please explain it in details
Hi Guys,
Got an issue which is preventing me from going completely to an SD card image and wondering if anyone has had the same issue.
Basically, have used the following SD images (Nookie Froyo 0.6.7 and 0.6.8) off a Transcend 8 gig class 6 card for a few weeks (and left my NC rooted using Autonooter for 1.1).
I would happily use the SD card image and at one stage was using consistently as my daily BUT every so often (this is the hard bit to determine), I would get the SD card image would instantly reboot into stock.
So I would leave overnight and sometimes it would stay on the SD image and sometimes I would find in Stock??? If the NC was running stock, I would reboot and would go to running off the SD image again no issues. This seems to be happening on a daily basis now so am unable to keep running off the SD card.
Have tried http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Issues with respect "Random Reboots" but happened again today
The other interesting offshoot is that my Autonootered Nook's drive is now almost 100% full and I think this is causing Force Closes.
Just curious if anyone has been having a similar issue?
