[Q] Flashing zips in CM7 - LG Optimus 2x

Hey guys,
So I decided to take the plunge and go for CM7 after the disappointing day that LG didn't release gingerbread. I have some questions now.
Firstly, does CM7 read the internal SD card and external SD card differently? For example, I want to flash the latest gtalk video app and it's giving me a status 0 error in CWM recovery. Do I need to do something else?

CWM 5.0.2.0 a.k.a. the latest version for now can install zip from either internal or external sds. And yeah, flash the gapps zip in the first page.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Hope this helps,
Peter
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.

autonooter/cm7

just purchased nook and flashed to autonooter.
was gonna hold off until the B&N update to see what it brought and didn't want to lose the magazine capabilities but can't wait anymore to go full cm7.
question: since i 'nooted, i already have cwm and the market. do i need to install again, or can i just download cm7 from the teamdouche link to sd card and boot up?
thanks in advance

Yep - you can install CM7 by getting the update.zip from teamdouche, copying it to your SD card, booting into CWM and selecting Install update.zip from SD card. This will overwrite your stock with CM7.

Are you sure of this? If you look at the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 you have to first prepare your SDCard and then install from that. I tried just installing from cwm in stock root and ended up getting assert errors and aborted installation... and if you wipe the caches like it explains needs to happen, you are stuck booting into cwm untill such time as you follow the instructions in the thread I posted, which work without a hitch if you are able to follow instructions,
migrax
What special preparation? The image being burned to the SD card is just clockwork mod, which isn't necessary if he already has CWM. Once in CWM, that guide just has you flash the CM7 update off the SD card. I don't know about the assert errors, but I don't think it has to do with how you've prepared the SD card.

So what are you wanting to do? Boot CM7 off SD card? If so, this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Sk8house911 is right. Just make sure you flash the correct cwr from rom manager, which is 3.0.1.0 And make a backup before you do anything.

If you want to keep the stock B&N reader, you can install CM7 to a SD card per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I did this and also installed a dual-boot menu, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962708, and can select either stock on the eMMC or CM7 on the SD card.
I'm quite happy with this arrangement, although I may change things around after the B&N Froyo update arrives.

Rom Manager will not flash cwm?

Hello all.
I have an issue.
I recently installed cm10 on the nook color. Recently IN cm10, it stopped reading the sd card....but i could boot to cwm from the sd card....BUT while in cwm it wouldnt read the sd card >.>
So. I made it think the internal memory was the sd card, installed rom manager, and got it to "flash" cwm into internal memory...although everytime i try to reboot into recovery, it reboots and then "install failed" pops up. (Sd card removed)...it doesnt seem like it flashed anything at all.
I honestly just want the default nook color back >.<
Help?

That message is from the stock recovery on emmc. So that means Rom Manager did not install anything. If you just want stock back on emmc, go to my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A10 to make a bootable CWM SD and item A15 to get a stock 1.4.3 rom to flash with it. You will be back to pure stock.

You may need to reburn the cwm SD. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A10.

[Q] Want to flash DjangoManouche X 1.1 however stuck while flashing..please help

Hi all,
I am quiet new in try ROM's. Desperately looking for help/guidance. I am very much interested to try ICS and though of flashing DjangoManouche X 1.1 (NoOC) rebuilded on 30a. Till this morning, i was with Temasek unofficial GB rom.
I downloaded the rom - DjangoManoucheX1.1KoBNoOC.zip but did not move to external SD card. I followed the instructions the below instructions.
1. To change partition layout from old to new (if you come from GB roms) and unlock bootloader using AIO tool by Spyrosk.
2. Flahed New v30a recovery v6.0.1.5 based on v30a kernel.
3. Cleared Dalvik cache.
I could login to recovery without any problems. Now in order to flash new Django's ROM, i need to have the zip file my SD card however i dont have it. How do I install the new ROM now without having it SD card.
I tried CWM sideload to move the zip file however it threw error "adb sideload failed to write protocol fault error". Please help me to move the zip and install this new ROM. I tried using the SD card with a reader in my laptop however it didnt detect (perhaps due to new formatting?)

Hey i got a way to move the zip to SD card from CWM recovery. I mounted as USB storage from CWM and then my computer detected it without any problems
Btw, i am exploring the ROM. It is butttery smooth and looking great. Thanks Carburano. Happy new year..
you could have also put it on internal card, no need for sd card... works flawlessly...

[Q] Can i revert to stock?

I tried to follow Verygreen's thread here:
[Nook HD+] CM10.1 development for sdcard last update 07/03 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087988
CM hangs on its loading screen and I didn't take a backup of the stock before i installed. I thought the point of the thread was that i could run CM from the sd card but without the sd card in it would boot into stock. I can get to CWM by keeping the card in. Is there any means of reverting to stock or have I overwritten it?
Here's what i did;
I placed cwm on my class 4 card and copied cm-10.1-20130629-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip to a location on the nook's interal memory.
Inserted the sdcard with cwm into my powered off nook.
Turned on Nook and CWM loaded.
Followed instructions to install zip from sdcard -> install from internal storage
rebooted - and reach hanging CM loading screen.
I guess before i should have backed up stock before installing from internal storage.
Am i right in thinking i can place the stock 2.1.0 from section 6 in leapinlar's [CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods - via CWM flashable zips - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
steps would be place zip on sdcard, get to cwm, install from sd card.
is there any point running a backup at this point because CM10.1 which what it tries to boot to won't fully load at present.

Did you wipe first. I noticed your missing that from your list. Wipe to clear Data from Stock then install CM 10.1 and yes just wipe Data and flash leapinlar's stock zip. It should revert all changes
If you did wipe check the MD5 of the zip and compare to the md5 on the post.
Check md5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1404763&d=1350336284
