I have an old Motorola D1 that I do not use anymore. It has been rooted and rommed (I forgot which rom has been flashed onto it though). It also has a 16gb sd card in it that I want to use for my Nook Color. If I pull that card out of the D1 and format it, have I doomed the D1 to brickness or will everything be good to go? I was going to keep my D1 as a back up in case anything happens to my Samsung Fascinate. I thank you in advance for info. Cheers.

I wouldn't think so.. I removed my SD card to partition it, and my Milestone is just fine ever since.

I've heard that the latest CM7 has difficulties recognizing the External SD card when connected to a PC. I'm not sure if this is what you're describing?

Cm7 reads SD cards fine as long as when you install it you have froyo installed first. If you installed cm7 from eclair or Gingerbread, check the cm7 troubleshooting post for instructions.
Also remember the external SD card is mounted as emmc.

Hello all!
New Nook Color owner here. Love the little thing but I'm not sure what to do next!
Ideally I'd like to root it, get the CM7 nightlies on it, and have a generally stable system. There's lots of resources and tutorials on it, but where do I start? What tweaks should I apply? What's the best nightly build so far (one with deep sleep working)? should I install on the emmc or on a class 2 sandisk?
Help would definitely be appreciated.

Starting with the SD card install of CM7 will let you try it without any risks, so try that first. Sandisc Class 2 is fast enough for it, although be aware there will be little lags here and there, particularly in the market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
The biggest problem for some people is writing the image to the card.. If it doesn't boot into CM7, it didn't burn right, period.
I suggest you put both the CM7 nightly and the Google Apps on the SD card for the initial install and it'll install both at the same time. When you get booted and you're setting up your Google Account hit the menu button and you'll be able to connect to wifi, then continue through setup normally.
yup having the right tools is the beginning:
SD cards probably 2 or 3, 4 gb sandisk cards Class-2 or 4
If you plan to move your stock B N to a bootable sandisk card, get an 8 GB one as well.
Then either 16 or 32 gb.
All of these of course sandisk.
You'll need a reader either small one directly for those disks or use a SD adapter.
Thanks for the responses guys. Long-term, would installing to the eMMCbenefit me more than on the SD, speedwise?

I think that if you have very little use for the stock software, which would be basically for the special ebooks that have some interactive aspects. i.e. the little elephant.
Then you might as well emmc the alternative rom.
Now, if you use the nook as a ereader a lot and have a lot of books already and some of them interactive, you have the option of dual boot, boot of the sdcard (either the alt rom, or moving the stock over to the SD card).
It really depends.
I haven't bought any books outside of the ones that came with the nook color and so, I just backed up my stock rom and nandroided it. Eventually, I came to a night where I wanted to let my kids check out elephant story, so I ended up reflashing the stock, pushing the stock over to an SD card, so if I ever need to boot up that book for them, I can do it.
Otherwise I use cm7 for everything I need.
FWIW, full instructions on installing to emmc are here. Don't bother installing Dalingrin's OC kernel though separately, as it is already included with the recent CM7 nightlies.

I have run it from both the eMMC and uSD. I really don't notice a difference.
I run from uSD using verygreen's "size agnostic..." guide now because I really like my stock B&N experience too so I put the stock ROM back on the eMMC. This way I can return it no problems if it needs warranty work...
Btw, putting CM7 on it is not rooting it, you are completely replacing the ROM on it. Rooting means leaving the stock ROM on it, and modifying it to allow for additional apps and marketplaces.

Wrong. CM7 is pre-rooted. Rooting means gaining SU (administrator) privileges. This is used to give you more control and functionality on ANY rom or phone.

I bought one of those sd cards pre loaded with CM7 on eBay because I dont feel comfortable yet with the whole android modding. Other than putting in that SD Card I have done nothing to my nook, no rooting, or anything. SO, how can I put MIUI on an sd card and just pop it in like the CM7 one without any modding? Thanks!
you can boot cm7 From sd without root!?
didnt know it was Possible.

The easiets and IMHO best method is to use this. Copy your MIUI file... rename the copy adding update-cm- to the beginning of it and use it where the instructions say CM7.

Yes... since the NC is hard programmed to boot uSD first, there is NO NEED for rooting stock to boot any other ROM from uSD. Several people do this to maintain warranty while using other AOSP OS's.
cool didnt Know that. boot from sd would be great on other android too. DHD is dual booting now.
Hi, so for the last two weeks i found this issue that's been killing me.
I run a P970 (Optimus Black) running always the latest NIGHTLY from CM10.1.
Two weeks ago I was updating the phone to the version "10.1-20130121-NIGHTLY" and everything went smoothly but after the reboot the phone wouldn't mount my SD card anymore. Mind you that I use a good SD CARD (Amazon Basics 16gb) and tried going into storage and mounting it from there. After several atempts such as removing battery, inserting SD and booting again I decided to check if my SD was corrupted.
IT WAS NOT! TAM DAM DAM!!!
I could access all of my files just fine from my computer.
Just to clear my mind I decided to format the SD card with SD FORMATER but it did bloody nothing.
After that, still holding on to my good manners I tried 3 other SD CARDS that I had laying around.
Nothing....
Now. It was personal.
I spent these last weeks and many aeons searching XDA and the rest of the internet for a case similar to mine and the closest I got, is a thread about a EVO 4G. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Unfortunatly, my Optimus Black refuses to play nice and still hasn't shape shifted to a EVO 4G so we could all move along.
Does anyone has come to a problem like this one? Know how to fix it?
I have already prayed to the Elder Gods and all that it brought me were these horrible, horrible nightmares.
Please, help!

You should do a backup, so you can restore it if needed... although restoring it without a working cwm will be... hard to impossible i mean restoring it without being able to mount the sd card is pretty complicated... are you able to access the sd card in cwm?

I ll ask again. Are you able to access you sd card in cwm? Maybe check if the small switch next to the sd card isnt moving, if you put it in. Also check, if it works, if you put some preasure on the sd card slot. Dont yet give up on it

Download the latest nightly in your PC
Put your SD in your PC
Copy the file to your SD
Put your SD in your phone
Turn on your phone
When is on long press your power button
Select reboot, select reboot recovery
From there you must know the rest.

Just wanting some opinions here.
I was wondering what the consensus is on running ROMs on Nook HD+ is. I heard SD cards were unstable (I have a Kingston Class 4 32GB), and I wasn't sure how easy it is to go back to stock from a ROM.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
Edit: I should add that I do not have any real problems with the stock ROM except weird issues (ie: SoundCloud's app/webpage won't play the songs I uploaded to it).
I just took the plunge and did the full wipe and installed on internal memory. I tried the Sd method first and was not having good luck on a Sandisk 32Gb Class 4 card. So far everything is working great.

Hehe just decided to take the plunge and do it. Keep getting an error while backing up though.

I was going to do the SD card thing but couldn't get it to work so I just did the emmc and I like it. I have no experience with other android tablets so my opinion is sort of meaningless but this seems to be pretty rad. Especially for the price!
I say just do it without the SD card. I think I've seen the stock ROM around here somewhere if you really miss it.

The error was because you were using verygreen's small 1GB image, there is not room enough there for a backup. If you followed the 'Dummies Guide' it would tell you to use my 4GB image so you had room on the SD to do a backup of stock first.

For the benefit of those who might read this thread in the future and are less sure of what they want to do:
In my opinion, whether you should keep the stock firmware around depends mainly upon how much you enjoy the stock Nook app(s). The Nook shopping/reading app for Android which can be found on the Play Store is inferior, and is so in some ways that are important to me. If you use it, you lose the capacity for multi-color highlights, and the UI is generally clunkier. This may improve, though, and if it does, I'd wholeheartedly endorse always going straight for a native CM install. In general, it's vastly superior.
