I recently used the size agnostic SD card installer to install cm7 on my nook color. I noticed after I made the SD card (a 8gb card) a bootable SD card. That my computer was saying that it only had a capacity of 117 megabytes. Can someone explain it step by step how I can keep the SD card as a usd to boot cm7 but it is able to use all 8 gigabytes for app storage? Any help would be appreciated .
Google Easus download and use that utitlity to resize the partition to the full remaining space of your sd card.
Is there a way to access that extra space and store media on it?
I have installed CM7 on the SD card and NOT the Nook's internal memory, so if the SD card is taken out I still have my stock Nook ROM.
However, I have installed ClockWorkRecovery through the CM7 ROM (installed in SD Card) and now I would like to remove just CWR, since I cannot receive Nook official ROM update if CWR is installed.
Is there an easy way to do this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Thanks for the link, but the solution given there does not work.
The problem I am having is because CWR is installed on the Nook internal memory, but CM7 is installed in the SD card.
As of right now, I CANNOT BOOT INTO CWR. When I boot into CM7 (installed in SD card and not Nook's Internal memory) and try to reboot to CWR, the Nook will boot but then just go back to CM7
Did you try shutting the NC off, removing the SD card, then holding the power and 'n' button? I don't know if that will work unless you've got a custom rom...
Hi,
I just got myself a Nook Color with version 1.2 update and I am planning to root the device from a microSD Card with CM7 or Honeycomb. But before I start, I have two basic queries:
1. Which rooting will give a better and stable web browsing experience - CM7 (Gingerbread) or Honeycomb
2. Can I store and view my personal files (e.g, movies) from the microSD Card which will boot my Nook Color with CM7/Honeycomb? I am very concerned about this, as the Nook Color v1.2 comes with only 1 GB of free space for personal files storage and so I need to store my movies in mircoSD card. At the same time, I don't want to change the stock software thus violating warranty, so I have to root using a microSD card.
I am very new to this, so will appreciate your response very much. Thanks in advance.

1. Without a doubt cm7. Honeycomb will unfortunately be forever buggy.
2. Yes you can use the left over storage on your SD card for files, music, videos, app etc.
And FYI you can root the internal memory and if you need to return for warranty then you can just return to stock and b&n will not know a thing but if you are going to run off the SD card make sure that it is a sandisk.

The thing to remember if you want to access the 4th partitiion for storage is that you have to do it while the SD is in the NC. Win xp will only see the first partition which has only about 155 megs.
Thanks a ton! I have few more quick questions.
1. What is the most stable CM7 version for rooting 1.2 version Nook Color as of today?
2. Will the rooted nook be able to play AVI video files? What app I need to download for that?
3. I found that PDF page load is very slow in my Nook Color. What app do you suggest for a good reading experience?
Once again, thanks in anticipation.
1. 7.0.3 is the latest stable version of CM7, however, most people keeps up-to-day with nightly builds.
2. it should, if not, install Rock Player Lite, it plays virtually everthing
3. Either Adobe Reader or Alkido would do the job
Not able to copy files to uSD card which boots CM7
Hey thanks for your all your support. I was able to install CM7.0.3 on my 1 GB uSD card and also installed Adobe Reader and Moboplayer. Everything works fine, except when I connect my NC to my PC, and then turn on USB Mass Storage on NC, I can only explore my Nook Color (showing as F: drive) to copy files. I cannot open/explore my SD card, though the PC shows the uSD card as "Removable Disk (E. When I try open this E: drive, I get the message "Please insert a disk in E: drive".
Also, my NC does not seem to identify the SD card. When I go to Settings -> Storage, it shows total space unavailable under SD card. Even when I open Moboplayer, I get the message "There is no SD card, make sure it is usable". I could only play videos copied to my NC internal memory.
I was told that I can use the leftover space of the uSD card to copy personal files, but I have no success on that front yet :-(. Any idea/suggestions how to fix this issue?
More information:
In my NC Storage Settings, it shows:
1. SD card: Total space unavailable, Available space unavailable.
2. Internal storage: Total space 525 MB, Available space 449 MB
3. Additional storage (emmc): Total space 1 GB, Available space 63.51 MB
Wondering what is 2nd one (Internal storage)? Is that the data partition of my SD card? If yes, how can I copy personal files there?
Did you say you are using a 1GB uSD? IMO, that's way too small for what you want to do. I would recommend either a 4 or 8GB sandisk card to allow you enough space for files and the OS. Remember that this is also your boot disk and the cm7 files are taking up most of the available space on a 1GB card. Just sayin......

I have ordered for a 16 GB class 4 SanDisk uSD card. I had a 1 GB uSD card at hand, so wanted to test with that first before I receive the 16 GB card. And as I said, I had no prob at all installing CM7.0.3 on the 1 GB card and if I am not wrong the card still has hunderds of MB memory free. My question is why can't I explore the SD card when I connect my NC to PC thru' the USB cable?

I don't recall the specific partition sizing of SASD but I would suspect there is no space available on the uSD after SASD creates the first 3 partitions... thus no partition 4 to be mounted as /sdcard.
Ok, thanks. As a mentioned in couple of posts back, any idea what is the "Internal Storage" of 525 MB total space that shows up in my storage settings? It is different from the emmc storage, because that shows up as the third storage option with 1 GB total space.
Ok - just found this thread and had to ask:
I'm running a stock 1.3 on the eMMC, and CM7.1 on a 16G micro-SD.
When I boot into the stock ROM, I see that my SD is mounted, but that the stock ROM mounted the /boot partition, rather than the /SD Card partition.
Is there a way to set the stock rom to boot /SD Card, or hide the other three from it?
Thanks!

To my knowledge, no, you cannot make the stock OS see any but the boot partition of the SD card. Both stock and your CM7 card can access eMMC storage, but stock can only see the first partition of your card. If you want a stock and a CM7 installation to share one /sdcard partition, you will have to set up a dual boot on internal storage (mine is linked in my sig).
If you just want to have some SD storage available to your stock install, you might be able to stretch the card's /boot partition and store some files in there, but I don't know if your SD install would remain stable. You could always back up your card as a disk image and try it out.

I would also like to know the answer for how to make the /boot partition larger on various images to allow sufficient room when booted from eMMC. I tried doing this with EASEUS Partition Master but it will not let me resize the boot partition. Any other options to solve the issue? The only other options is to swap cards when you know you are booting off eMMC and that is a pain.

Sorry, I guess that I could have been more clear in what I am trying to do. I have a rooted nook color 1.1. I burned the image for the dualboot phiremod/Honeycomb that is approximately 3.5 Gb. I burned it to an 8 Gb card and then expanded the 7th (/sdcard) partition to use the space which is available when booted to phiremod. When I boot (with the card installed) to eMMC via J4mm3r's u-boot menu, my rooted 1.1 comes up but sees the /boot partition as the SD card. Since it is the /boot partition, it only has 80 Mb free which is not enough for Titanium Backup, etc. If I could make the /boot partition larger (say 2 Gb) then everything would work as desired.
1. I don't use dual boot option so can't help you
2. I don't use either Phiremod nor Honeycomb so can't help you but
a. I think the NC should still the left-over of the uSD card. if not
b. Try using MiniTool Partition wizard to expand the boot partition and see what happens. Not so sure if it allowed to do so.

Mmm, I think you maybe just need to make up your mind, or deal with the limitations--have your cake or eat it, because you can't do both. That said, I see no reason EASEUS wouldn't let you expand the boot partition, unless there's just no unallocated space, in which case you need to shrink your storage partition first. I don't know whether your card would boot properly with an expanded boot and random files in there, but you should be able to move the partitions around just fine.
Still, your better bet is to decide what's going to be your primary OS and stick with it. You can even dual-boot from eMMC and have two full OSes, but as long as you're using the SD as a boot drive, you're going to be trading off its ability to serve as storage for your interal OS.
Edit: sorry, didn't realize how old the thread was...was trying to find my info with the forum search. ^^;
In the original post the user asked if you could use the microSD for both booting/rooting and for storage -- when I tried this, I got a "SD Card must be formatted" error in my rooted Nook. I let it rty to format the card (then let Windows format it) and -then- I was able to store on the SD card.
But when I rebooted my Nook Color, it got stuck Infinite-looping the Nook Color splash screen. =\
I'm about to root it again, and I'd like to use the same SD card I use to root to have some storage space on it. I (had) a 4GB microSD card, but because the slot is in the worst place it could possibly be on the device...I've already managed to get it wedged inside the casing. =\ The drive still works but I'd rather not have to worry abotu swapping cards in and out and in and out; maybe I have fatter fingers than It hink, but that SD card slot is a pain in my arse.
What did I do wrong my first go 'round? I had a 4GB card, so I used the 4GB CWM image for it. Is it...really simple, and I need to format it into two partitions in windows; set 1GB aside for the CWM boot disc and the other 3GB would be available for file storage?
1. use SD formatter
2. if you used a 4GB CWM image, did you manually update it to the latest build? If not, just grab the 1GB image in the quote at the top of this thread: updated CWM. If you're planning to wipe it right after, it doesn't matter how big it is.
Also, regarding the OP and my response, I later found this link I'd saved about pointing stock to the storage partition of a CM7 SASD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13668471&postcount=529
I haven't tried it or seen anyone report back after trying it, but there it is if anyone wants to give it a go.
I'm new to the Nook, I've had it for just over a week and have been running CM7 stable on the sd card from day one. I decided to install the newest nightly (168 I think) bc of increased battery life.
I followed the sd card boot instructions I found on this forum and elsewhere: drag and drop new nightly onto sd card, boot into recovery, but the update wouldn't take. Took the plunge to wipe the sd card, rewrote the size agnostic boot image, put on the new nightly, nothing. What finally worked was me increasing the size of the boot partition to a gig, and then the new nightly finally installed.
Alls good right? NOPE. Now for some reason I can't access ANY files I have on my emmc! I have all my books and videos stored there bc of the limited sd card space, but now I can't access them on the new nightly like I did on the stable version. I can see the emmc files in the file manager, but when I try to open books with aldiko it says "sd card not found" or "operation could not be completed. " in settings it says that the sd card is unmounted, but when I go to mount it, my notification bar says the "sd card is damaged" and that "you may have to reformat the sd card." It also seems the sd card is recognized as "internal memory" in the storage part of the setting menu.
Help! Should I drop down to the previous nightly? Reduce the size of the boot partition? Please treat wiping the sd card again as a last resort. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the response! This is really confusing me.
My sd card is an old 2 GB sandisk I took from an old berry I had.
But per my post above im not sure that the problem is with the sd card. It worked perfectly with cm7 stable. Im thinking maybe I messed up the installation process? Please help!

I have Leapinlar's SD card image installed on a SD card that I used to then install the EMMC version onto my HD+ which is working great, thanks to Leapinlar and Verygreen for that. Since I don't want to misplace the SD card I've left it in my Nook, but then whenever I reboot it, it boots off of the SD card and goes into the CWM on the card. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to activate the Cyanoboot menu on the card so that I could choose to boot from the card, or the EMMC, and possibly change the default so that it boots to the EMMC instead. I realize that this might not be the right forum as it isn't necessarily a Nook question, so thanks for any help.
Edit: I should specify that I used the 4GB CWM SD card image in Leapinlar's thread, and is the one I'd like to modify. Thanks.
Ask and Ye shall receive.
Attached below is a .rar file that has four files in it. Extract those files to the boot partition of your CWM SD, replacing any duplicates. It will add the cyanoboot menu to it. It will by default boot to CWM, but if you want to boot to emmc (stock or CM10.1 on emmc), hold the n key and the cyanoboot menu will come up and you can choose stock. If you want it to boot to emmc by default, just change the Default Boot Device from "CM10/10.1" to "Stock". Then it will boot to emmc if you do nothing. Then you can boot to CWM by using the cyanoboot menu.
You rock, thanks!

Right thread this time! So this is dual boot thread (sorry about earlier Leapin!).
Took me about five minutes to get where I'd made my mistakes though even after finding this and trying again. Now that I understand how this installs, and that stock must be in emmc, I just have one question....do I place CM 10.1 on the root of my SD card as a zipped, or unzipped, file for it to load from the menu? Or is there still more to do other than just "sticking the file on there?"
I know this much...every day I have greater & greater respect for xda developers. To be willing to explain things so even myself can understand it a little - and put up w questions - has to be a chore in and of itself. Thank you!

First you need to go to verygreen's SD thread and make the early 7.1 CWM card. The put the CM10.1 zip on internal memory using stock. Then boot with the CWM SD you just made and after it finishes preparing the SD, install the zip from internal memory. Then you can use the files in this thread to put the cyanoboot menu on that SD.

Ok, I seem to be / was good until I got to installing zip from internal memory. This is what has happened so far.
1. Created 7.1 CWM SD with win32 disc imager ...No probs
2. Not enough room on external card to place CM 10.1 zip file even though I started with 16 Gb....so I assumed you meant load CM 10.1 to Nook HD+ internal memory from my PC...no problem there.
3. This is where I got stuck: 7.1 card booted up just fine, but then I wasn't quite sure what next step was...found "install zip from internal SD" and tried that, but of course it sent the update - apparently - to emmc, as Cyanogenmod spinner logo now comes up after reboot.
So my question is how do I need to go about installing from internal memory once CWM 7.10 is running. Is there an adb command I'l need, or did I just choose wrong option?

You used the correct menu item.
If you used an sdcard version of the CM zip, it should have put it on the SD. You can tell by popping the SD out of the slot and booting. It should still boot to stock if you used the correct version. Then when you put the SD back in the slot it should boot to CM.
If you have it correct, then use the files in this thread to add the cyanoboot menu so you can boot back and forth without taking the card out.

Missing memory on SD CM10 boot
First post so I hope I'm putting this in the right place.
I have a Nook HD+ 32GB
I' ve started with Leapinlar's
[CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods
I've then used verygreen's
[Nook HD+] CM10.1 development for sdcard last update 09/04
All that seems to be fine but in CM10.1
Settings - storage reports internal memory 1GB and no SD memory or available mounts
x-plore reports /storage/emulated/0 and /Root as 850MB free of 1GB
Without the SD card - reverting to stock - I have 2.44GB used and 26.56GB available.
Is the 1GB apparently available on a partion on the SD card? I only had a 2GB SD going spare - this now has three partitions, the boot files and two others, one of 1GB. If I'd used a 32GB card would I have 31GB free?
But, more importantly, can anyone tell me how I get CM to give me my 32GB of internal storage back?
Please?
FWIW I expect to run CM10 from internal memory in the long run, but want to be sure that a couple of critical apps run OK before replacing the B&N stock.

Everything is as it should be. You only have 1GB for 'sdcard' since you only used a 2GB SD. If you had used a 32GB, you would have close to 31GB for 'sdcard'.
And on an SD install, the internal memory is still there but not as 'sdcard'. It shows as a folder named 'emmc'.
Since you are planning on installing CM to internal memory, it will be even different yet. 'Sdcard' will be your internal memory and your external SD will be shown as ext_sdcard.
And do not pay too much attention to the settings/storage. People get very confused when reading that since it mixes apples and oranges. (Media storage and app storage).

I encountered the situation above and am wondering if, say, instead of the 2GB card I use a 16 GB...that gives me 16 GB of storage for the CM 1.0 tablet, and my regular flash storage also stays 16 GB? Or all the apps are by default stored on the emmc?

On the SD install, both media and apps get stored on the SD. If you use a 16GB SD to install CM to, it will have about 15GB available for media and app storage instead of 1GB on the 2GB card. But 2GB is really too small to be running CM. You will be running out of app and media storage very quickly.
Since you will be dual booting, when booted to stock the media and apps will be stored on internal memory. You will either have 13GB or 28GB available on stock on emmc depending on the size of the device (16 or 32GB model).

Updating SD version of CM 10.1
I know I've seen this elsewhere, but can't find it...if I go to update the rom on the SD card, it makes sense to me that I would need to load the latest SD version from verygreen's page...or can I just update from settings and not lose dual boot? Also, will a dirty install work so that the data is not lost? (backups are always good )
Man we're enjoying dual boot. My Acer a500 is unreliable so I backed the "build a city town park" up with Helium app. Long story short, with dual boot my kid and I get to continue building and enjoying our monsters in "Monsterama Park" by booting to CM 10.1and restoring data, yet I don't have to give up some of the reader features that I really like with the original Nook OS. Marvelous find....again, thanks y'all for the hard work!

Do not use settings to update an SD install. It will try to put the new ROM on internal replacing stock. Go get the latest SD ROM from the verygreen thread. You can dirty install it with the SD install's CWM.

So there is no way to switch the menu for stock on sdcard?

I'm a little confused. I've put verygreens stock on sdcard and have cm 10.2 on emmc. If the images are renamed can you boot with the menu into stock on sd or cm 10.2 from emmc? If not is there a second solution?

It does not work on that configuration and there is no solution.
