I have cm7 nightly version .177 on my NC booting from an SD card. Some questions:
1. Is there enough change between .177 to the latest to make updating worth while? I couldn't find any list of changes between the latest and mine.
2. How do I update?
3. Will updating erase all my apps and data? I have the old market working fine finally and would not like to lose my screens and apps etc.
1. http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=encore NC-specific changes are highlighted a darker color (like the LCD density change in #200).
2. If you made your card using verygreen's SASD, which you likely did, just download the update on your PC, insert SD card to PC, and drop the update on the boot directory. Reinsert SD in NC, boot into CM7, then in the Power menu, Reboot > Recovery.
3. Nope.
1. I don't think so, but I updated anyways.
2. You can use ROM Manager if you've downloaded verygreen's SD installer [which is fantastic, wow]. It might take a try or two but it gets there.
3. It won't, yeah. ... Also, I wish I had the old market. I hate you.
I wouldn't update if I were you and you have it working perfectly. There's always the -chance- of something happening when you do anything, you know?
Getting the old market was pretty easy for me, but maybe I just got lucky? I uninstalled the updates, cleared the cache and then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the market updater.
You can still safely update without losing your apps. Just put the .zip file in the boot partition and it will install when you reboot. Only wipe Davlik to keep everything.

If you have nightly #177 you should have ROM Manager which should pull in the update automatically for you. ROM Manager is part of the CM7 build and is a system tool.
If you want to update simply from #177 to current download the latest ZIP file to your SD card. Then boot to Recovery, Install from SD Card, Select ZIP File and there you go. You will need to wipe Davlik only before rebooting.
If ROM Manager is not included in nightly #177 my fault, just not sure when it was added.
@ patruns and Hyper
Why do you guys suggest OP to wipe cache or Dalvik when he said he booted CM7 from uSD?
Is there really a way to do so?
Plus ROM Manager has no effect on CM7 running off uSD.
To be honest, I didn't read his whole post. My comment was just to let the person know they would not lose their apps as long as they didn't clear the data since that seemed to be a concern when updating.

Ok. My nootered 1.0.1 nook has ben acting weird lately. Battery dying completely after a couple days of VERY light use. Will leave it i hibernation one night at over 50% and it is dead the next morning.
Anyway. I would love to flash this thing to cm7 or a froyo build. I have CWM installed. S do i just install one of these rims just like i do with an android phone? I see a lot of talk about burning the. Zip images to the sd. Can i NOT just drop the. Zip on the sd and flash it?
And i wipe data and cache when doing switching rims on my DX, but saw something on here where a data wipe is not necessary....is this true?
And one last one... is it possible to backup the stock B&N launcher with titanium backup and restore and have the option to switch to it in froyo and gingerbread?
Thanks
If you have CWM installed to the actual device itself and you have the newest version installed then you can just drop the zip on the sd card. Make sure to clear the appropriate data.
Yes, CWM is runningon my NC witthout an sd right now so i know it is on internal storage.
When you say clear appropraite. Data...this means i have to clear data like usual when changing rims? Does titanium backup work cross platform (aka work with eclair,froyo,gb, and HC)?
Thanks for the quick reply

There are usually instructions on the download page on what to clear.
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.

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.
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.
Hi all
I have been lazy all these days & currently on CM7 version 72 I guess. Now I want to update it to latest nightly, 208.
I currently have ROM Manager 4.4.0.7. And I think the ClockWorkMod installed is no longer exists. Because in ROM Manager when I click on "Manage & Restore Backups" it says I must have CWM installed. SO I guess earlier version of CWM is gone now.
Earlier I used to update CM7 by preparing SD card, moving the ZIP file to it & flashing in ROM Manager by booting into recovery.
Now I have forgotten every damn thing, so I want to know how to update to latest nightly. Thanks in advance
Was just there.
I was actually in a similar situation as you earlier this morning, and was able to update just now. To recap what you have to do:
[Since I'm a new user and can't post URL's, just add http colon // to the following addresses]
Get Eyeballer's clockwork image: tinyw.in/0Vw
Decompress the image.
Burn the decompressed image to a microSD card with this: launchpad.net/win32-image-writer
(As I'm sure you know, that'll erase everything in the card, so back it up first. Also, it'll show up as 1GB. When you're done with the upgrade you have to reformat it to get the full space back)
Copy onto the microSD card's root directory the following:
The newest multiuboot: dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/multi-uboot-v0.4.zip
The newest nightly image: download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
Don't decompress them!
Boot the NookColor with the microSD card inserted. A pair of skulls should show up, indicating that Clockwork is booting.
Once booted, one of the menu options is "backup/restore". From there you can do a backup, which I recommend.
(In case you don't remember, like I didn't: Use the volume buttons to move up/down, use the "n" button to select a menu item, and use the power button to go back to a previous menu)
For the actual upgrade, choose "install from zip", and select the nightly image zip file, and then confirm.
After the upgrade, repeat the "install from zip" with the multiuboot zip file.
And you're done with the Nook!
As for your microSD card:
If you did a backup, you'll find a folder named after the date and time in the microSD card, in clockwork/backup/. I'd save it to the computer just in case.
Now, reformat the microSD card to get all your space back.
Finally, copy back the original files that where in the microSD.
^Thanks a lot for replying ! You have pretty much explained everything
The earlier method was also like this only & I thought there may new methods like flashing from ROM Manager etc. Anyways here is the guide - link
I didn't get one thing, why multiuboot needs to be used ?
TIA
A few questions...

I bought my Nook through a friend at work and as I look at the CM7 mod version it is...
CyanogenMod-7-0409211-Nightly-encore
It looks like the last nighty was done in Apr 9/2011, so it's due for a well deserved update.
1. with my mod version being so old, do I need to do incremental updates or the latest nightlies is good enough.
2. I have the rom manager but not the clockwork, where do I get this.
3. is 2gig card enough to update, i rather not format my existing card in the nook to use for my update.
Thanks

Woops, totally forgot that my Nook is dual-booting CM7 and the original B&N android OS. Either way, I'm under the impression you have to re-flash the boot code every time you change the kernel, but I may be wrong.
I guess you can try without flashing the boot code, and see if it works. If not, just reboot with the card in and flash the boot. The great thing about the Nook is that it's pretty much brick-proof.
I'd better wait for someone for more clear instructions. Anyways thanks for replying

make sure you have the latest rom manager(4.5.0.1) you can update it from the market. While in the rom manger hit "flash clockworkmod recovery" select the nook color from the list, once you've done that you can go to "download rom" and download and flash the latest nightly.

That's it ? No need of preparing SD Card to install CM7 ?
and also I have downloaded CM7 build 208, so where can I place this ?
Hi all
I have an issue with Cyanogenmod ROM here.
I runned on my Nexus One the 7.1 version with S2E script without problem for six months, then suddenly my 16gB SD Card reported a read/write problem and I have to reinstall everything.
Changing my sd card with a new sandisk 32gb, I decided to install the newer Cyanogenmod 7.2 official version (not nightly) but since then I have a serious issue.
Obviously, just to confirm, I wipe everything before installing pure cyanogen zip file. Then, I begin to install application but as you know internal memory is soon filled.
Then i backup, format SD card, partition it 1GB ext4 / 31GB fat, reinstall the backup, and install S2E.
The problem is that everything run smooth for almost 1 day - where i can install new apps and move to sd etc - but after some hours of use, if you try to install or update application all of a sudden market begins to report error message like:
error 492
file package not valid or signed
or, during installation, the phone has an half reboot.
Obviously i tried to wipe and reinstall everything many times but problem persists.
Also, when it happens, after some more time some applications began to work wrong, especially widget like simple calendar widget or beautiful widget.
I googled to search for a problem of this type, the only solution i found is to install latest version of the market as apk, which I do, but it doesn't work.
Any help?
Should I try another App2SD script different from S2E?
after s2E installation, do I have to launch something from terminal (which I don't do until now)?
thanks
I experienced similar.
I now use mounts2sd from DK Zero Cool. Fantastic script. What I do is to choose 'move data', and choose 'reverse mount'. With just those settings I have no issues. (You run the script from recovery and you're given the options in Aroma installer)

Issue solved
Hi all
Just to make you aware that I solved the issue reinstalling everything using a recovery older than Clockworkmod 5.2, in particular the Amon_RA 2.1, leaving the phone to work with this recovery I wipe everything and reinstall Cyanogenmod 7.2 and S2E and everything is working fine now.
Hope it helps
Thanks
Hello. Thank you it worked for me.
