CM7 Build for CWM(internal)

All I see are instructions on how to use ADB or to use CWM to flash to the external SD. Is there a way to use CWM ready CM7 for the internal flash?

Hi,
If I understand your question, you would like to run CyanogenMOD7 off the
internal memory also called emmc, rather than running it off the external
memory or uSD card.
Though a bit dated, I found this walk-through to be very detailed:

Hope this is what you are looking for.

It is helpful, however I am looking for a CWM ready version....so far no luck.

Hi,
The instructions in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960542&page=16
Are assuming running from uSD version of CWM.
Following other CWM install instructions you can end up with CWM installed
on the internal flash, emmc.
For example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
Minor issue to watch for: the versions of CWM that support EXT4, required
for CM7 also require a different kernel.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by CWM ready version of CM7... the CM7
nightlies are in a .zip file that is flashed by CWM running off the EMMC boot
partition. The first time you install CM7 you also have to use CWM to
reformat some of the partitions on the EMMC (to ext4), but after that you can
use CWM to update the flash each time.
ROMManager can also be used to download ROMS and start CWM.
I am in 'updating' mode, I usually download a recent CM7 nightly and
recent overclock Kernel on PC, then share to Nook using Dropbox.
On Nook, I download .zips from Dropbox and move to root of the data
SD card. I also have latest Google apps (GAPPS) in Dropbox or SD card.
I then use ROMManager to run CWM to backup entire ROM.
Then I use ROMManager to boot into CWM and individually:
Install from .zip: nightlyxxx.zip (Current CM7 version)
Install from .zip GAPPSxxx.zip (Current google apps version)
Install from .zip kernelxxx.zip (Current OC kernel, overwrites the CM7 version)
Then I wipe cache partition.
Then finally wipe dalvik partition - CWM freezes here.
Reboot and wait a while (5 mins) (I assume it is rebuilding dalvik cache here)
Often seem to need another reboot and wait.
Hope this helps...

Thanks, that does clarify things. I'm new at this and do it was a little confusing to me how to do it. In the captivate forum they're a little more forward on how it's done. I appreciate the help. I tried using the rc4 encore signed but it seems to stop at the startup with N color on it. I thought I formatted all the partitions properly. Is there something I did wrong?

Hi,
I haven't had the problem of being stuck at 'N', but I'm sure there are plenty of
others that have... it will be something simple, probably missed one step in install.
Perhaps check through the list you followed and try and remember if you forgot
one step, or didn't understand one of the steps.
My install no longer shows the "N" at all when booting, so I'm guessing that
there is a missing piece somewhere!
I get:
"Touch the Future of Reading"
Brief flash of "Loading"
Few seconds of sideways "android..."
Then an animated CyanogenMOD logo for more seconds.
Here is one (long) thread about booting problems, but there are other ones too.

Hope this helps,

Got the problem fixed. Had to boot to a different CWM and format as ext4. Now all is well.

Speed Comparison
I have CM7 flashed to a class 4 sd card and it seems a little slow compared to the stock elcair build. Does CM7 installed to the internal memory speed things up a bit or does the system still seem a little slow. I'd like to know before I flash to my internal memory.

It should be faster on the internal, logically speaking, but perhaps with the right SD card you'll get comparable speed.

[Q] Reverting Nook Color HELP PLEASE

So I bought a used (barely) nook color off of craigslist today for 200 with a screen protector and 8 GB transcend class 6 microSD. The guy I bought it from had his google account on it though so I tried to remove it. Basically I did the imaging through terminal (i cantp ost a link) and put the new stuff on and now it says my memory stick is damaged (even though it mounts on my computer) and it freezes my NC whenever it is in
I'm basically wonder, HOW CAN I GET MY CM7 2.3 NC to reset itself so I can put my own account on it. I have searched but can't find anything that good, as I have clockwork, but the rom is installed ON the NC internal, not on the microSD...Please help me out in some kind of step by step way. I rooted my droid eris myself, but starting with it pre-rooted has messed me up.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 start with this thread.
You should have ROM manager on there already. Reflash CM7 and wipe data...should take you to a fresh install.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

So what step do I start out if I have clockwork mod on there already? I dont have recovery though.

Go into your programs and open ROM Manager (this assumes that you already have clockworkmod installed). Make sure that you have a micro SD card in the Nook with your desired CM7 build (either nightly or stable). Then Click on Install ROM from SD Card. Click on the ROM that you want to flash. It will then give you the option to Backup Existing ROM and/or Wipe Data and Cache. Go ahead and select Wipe Data and Cache. Hit OK and the Nook will do the rest automagically. (ROM Manager may request Superuser status, go ahead and grant it or it will not work). After you regain control, you should have a fresh, clean install of CM7 to work from.

[Q] Problem with rooted Nook and ROM Manager

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to put this - I'm not sure if it's a Nook Color, Cyanogenmod, ROM Manager, or Clockworkmod issue. I just rooted my NC to CM7 using Clockworkmod and it seems to work fine. I tried installing the GoogleApps .zip file at the same time. It said it was successful, but I don't see any of the Google apps in the apps drawer.
So, I went to ROM Manager to try and fix this. When I first opened ROM Manager it said I needed an SD Card installed to use it (I had removed it after the successful flash). So I inserted the card and mounted it in Settings->Storage and tried again. Now when I click on anything it says "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."
If I click the Install button, the dialog closes and nothing happens. If I click the menu option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" the title of the screen (ROM Manager v4.2.0.0) flashes for a split second. That's it. Nothing is installed.
If I reboot while holding the upside-down U button I eventually get an "Update failed!" screen that looks like it comes from the standard Nook UI. If I try to reboot into recovery using the Power button it just reboots as normal.
I've found a large amount of resources online regarding the "unable to reboot into recovery" issue, but I feel like I don't know enough about what I'm actually doing to implement them. I also don't know how the inability to flash ClockworkMod fits into this. It's especially strange how selecting the option to flash it actually does nothing.
Anyone have ideas?

Question, did you have clockworkmod installed on your sd when you flashed cm7 or was it installed internally? Can you boot into recovery with rom manager? If clockwork is on sd, find the newest clockwork zip and flash it with your card internally. That should allow you to update to the newest version in Rom Manager. Try reflashing gapps.

Clockworkmod was installed on the SD card.
I cannot boot into recovery using ROM Manager. It just restarts the device as normal.
I believe I have the latest CWM because I grabbed it from their website yesterday (4.2.0.0). How do I flash it internally? That's what I was attempting to do with ROM Manager. I followed the steps listed in thread #922870 on this forum (still can't post links) and I believe that results in CWM on internal memory, but ROM Manager still behaves the same way.
I did reflash gapps twice, but there is still no Maps, Market, Gmail, etc.

I just noticed something else. When I mount my SD card on the NC it shows up as empty: /mnt/sdcard has no contents. Does this indicate an error with the SD card and/or partitions? I am using the 8 GB image of CWM on my 16 GB card (because there is no 16 GB version).

Your SD card has clockwork burned as an image which the nook cannot read. You can format the card later for use (go to nookdevs website). I am attaching a zip file for clockworkmod 3.0.1.0 (credit goes to Mistar Muffin). Put that on your SD card, insert it into the nook and boot it up. It should take you into recovery. You can then flash the zip file and get Clockworkmod on your emmc. You should be able to update to the new version 3.0.2.8 from Rom Manager at that point. I think the nook is confused with the absence of Clockwork internally. As far as your rom goes, I would boot into recovery when the Clockworkmod issue is resolved and reflash the CM7 build, reboot, go back into recovery and flash the gapps. You can repeat the process with an overclocked kernel if you choose. This zip is a file that floated around the forum for awhile. It was removed when Clockworkmod got an update. I have used it on my nook. It should be safe. Good luck

Thanks for your help; unfortunately this did not work. Nothing has changed. I placed the zip file in my SD card that already has CWM imaged. I went to "Install zip from SD card" and installed the zip. It completely successfully. Then I rebooted and entered ROM Manager, which told me I needed the SD card back in. I mounted the SD card and am encountering the same issues as before.
What could I have possibly done to mess this up? I followed all the steps listed on the Cyanogenmod website and they never mention anything about flashing CWM internally. Another question - why do I need the SD card for ROM Manager if that app is downloading things from the internet?
Thanks!

How would I reinstall ROM manager? I don't have any sort of Market on the device.

Best best bet is going back to stock and trying from scratch

Sorry, my bad. I forget that Rom Manager is part of the CM7 package. You should not need the sd card for Rom Manager to work properly. I am not sure why it is calling for it. Can you reboot into recovery with the power+n method, not the SD card? If you can do that, it tells me clockwork installed correctly. If you can get there, I would do your formats (data, system) and reflash the rom. Another option, if Titanium Backup is part of the rom package try to wipe data in rom manager and give it another try. You may can do that in manage applications (I don't have my nook with me). The link below may or may not help. Look at option 3. The 3.0.1.0 zip it is calling for is the one I sent you prior. I am about out of options. Good luck.

AHA! I solved it, and it wasn't directly an issue with anything except my stupidity. I was connecting to my company's guest wireless, which as it turns out requires a username/password before you get anything other than the login screen. That is why the ROM manager was failing to flash itself - it had a worthless wifi connection. When I switched to another wireless access point it works just fine.
Thanks for your assistance bdcrim! Sorry it wasn't a more satisfying conclusion.

[Q] Cyanogen crashing EVERY time I try to move app to SD

What's going on with this thing? It crashes every time I try to move an app to the SD card using the native Android apps2sd. It wasn't a problem before I unlocked it. Everything was just fine.
I have partitioned the SD card from Clockwork recovery, reformatted, etc. all to no avail. Is there another step that I've missed? Link2SD won't work, either.
It's CM 7.1.

Try 4EXT instead of CWM recovery. It seems to be the freshest most powerful choice out there. I used to have that problem all the time with CM. For me the best was using blackrose to change to HBoot, then flashing QND MIUI mod and partitioning with 4EXT. Followed by the latest kernel they recommend I know there are lots out there but I wished someone would have told me that before I invested a zillion hours screwing around with CM.
Your choice

I have had this happen to me with only a few applications, never all though. Did you try to force applications to install to sdcard as a fix?
Set from my Nexus One using xda premium

do you have your default install location set to internal
and since you have CM try dark tremor beta 4 for moving apps. review their thread on this subforum and learn what scripts to run after flashing the zip
+1 on 4ext, I have it now--great themes--but amon_ra 2.2.1 has worked flawlessly for me also

How to eliminate everything? Restart

Hi guys,
Sorry for the question. I have my moms note. I am good at flashing but I cant seem what went wrong here. I was on official ICS.
I upgraded to leaked Jellybean, all worked wonders, I was on LS7 with Philz kernel. But then I lost root, I read there was a fix for that but then I discovered the problem I need hel with.
I CANT COPY ANYTHING TO INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL STORAGE!!! I tried everything. Wipes, reflash, fix permissions, etc., even format the sd card. But I can´t copy anything....I have checked if they are mounted and no problem. Camera can write to sd. Cant even open Gallery because it says INSUFFICIENT MEMORY. But the phone and card are empty!!!
This had never happened to me....Can anyone help me?
Owww....I so sad...

Just tried with another sd card andd couldnt flash philz new kerenl....signature error....
Im on JB installed via Odin.
Tried installi rocket rom form stock recovery..... starts, android appears and reappears and then it boots back in recovery....

I had the same problem (not enough storage) with Rocketrom and Philz Kernel. I switched to Hydracore V7 and Utackas Paranoidandroid with a full wipe and had no problem ever since. Don't know what caused the problem.

when you flashed the rom again, did you do proper wipes? If not very much concerned about data and apps, the try
make sure you have the rom in your sd card
boot into cwm philz recovery
mounts and storage
format /system
format /data
format /cache
format/preload
then go ahead and install the rom again. restes

Use es file explorer, go to sd card, tap menu then settings then file settings and select show hidden in files, you should now see a folder called. Trash100 it will be full of all your deleted items, although your sd is empty the files are still there just hidden
Delete that folder and reboot. Same applies to external sd too.
