Wish I could post this to the "Size agnostic SD Boot" thread, but as a Noob, I can't.
Have: New NC, had 1.2, updated to 1.3. Created bootable CM7.1 stable card on a new Sandisk 4GB, Class 4 card as per instructions in that thread. All seemed to go well. Upon start up, I see my new Android home page. After several seconds, I get an error: "Sorry! Process system is not responding". Gives me a choice between "Force Close", and "Wait". Choosing either seems to not make a difference. I have no WiFi connection, and going to settings I can't seem to enable it. After about 3 minutes, it freezes. But before so, I can interact with my new (impressive!) system.
Tried:
1. Numerous reboots.
2. Re-flash SD card. Three times. No good.
3. Went from 7.1 stable to latest Nightly.
Symptoms are always the same, right down to the time it takes to freeze.
If I don't interact with it after boot, the screen goes blank, but I detect a slight background light - is this perhaps the SOD problem?
Ideas?
What brand is your SD card?

Sandisk 4GB, Class 4 card
I've read a bit about a Wifi driver patch, but I can't get the NC to run long enough to try and patch it in.
I recently bought a refurb Nook and install CM 7.1 Stable on a Sandisk Class 4 8gb card without issue. I'm actually shocked at how well it runs.
Maybe you got a bad card?
I'm sure somewhere you might find a utility to see if the card has issues? Check the SANDISK website.
Installing CM7 on the 4GB card was a temporary move, as I just had to try it. I have a 16GB card that should show up today. So, given that....
I installed CWM on the 4GB card, and it seems to work fine. However, I doubt that CWM "stresses" the card to the extent that running full Android would.
Keeping fingers crossed that a different card may work.
Hans.
I am using a 4gb class 2 Sandisk card and it works great. I have 8gb class 6 Transcend cards and they are not as good. I get force closes using them with certain apps.
Update: New SD card - *exactly* the same symptoms. Same error immediately after Home screen loads: "Sorry! Process system is not responding", and then it freezes solid in about 3 minutes regardless what I'm doing. And no Wifi.
Just as before.......
Try downloading the images again and start over.
"Try downloading the images again and start over. "
Well, in effect I did. I tried a couple of different versions of CM7. Also tried redoing the .img loader/boot file.
In every case, I get exactly the same symptoms.

Did you ever download the SASD image file again?
Also... since you don't specify... did you download the 1.3 image and not the 1.2 or the update?

Yes, tried once to download the .img file. I'm reasonably sure it's 1.3, as that is in the file name. It took FOREVER to decompress - like an hour. Used gzip for the heavy lifting.
Just curious.... Would an even slightly corrupt .img loader file even work? I mean, it seems that it's job is to load CM7, and then after that is done, the rest is up to CM7. Is it possible that a bad .img file would basically work, but load a slightly corrupted CM7?
Don't know if it's an issue with the Nook itself. Has been running B&N 1.3 super stable, and for the last couple of days (with ~8 hours/day), I've been on a ManualNootered 1.3 with no problems or instabilities whatsoever. Did the MN install (as well as a bootable CWM) with the same SD, USB adapter, and PC with no problems.
Really scratching my head over this one.
Thanks.

This is the part that gets me. I've made a few of these cards and all I ever did was unzip the image file with winzip and write the image to an sdcard with winimage. The unzipping process only took a few seconds.

Something wrong with that I just tested how long it takes to take the generic-sdcard-v1.1.img.gz file and decompress it to generic-sdcard.img and it took 15 seconds
What are you using I am using winrar 3.41 and my PC is like about 4 years old so not a fast processor.
Download winrar trial and start again
Again, I appreciate all the help. Here is what I've done:
1. Read a bunch of the stuff from the suggested Google search. (doh! - should have done this first). There is little Nook specific, but it seems that some apps on some devices seem to be the guilty culprit. I had only loaded 2 apps (Tweek and Priceline) on my NC before trying CM7.1, so if it is an app, it would have to be one of those, as the rest of the apps are pre-installed B&N, which (I assume...) the rest of you have. (Note: being new to all this, I'm surprised that their is no obvious way to uninstall an app. Seems I remember some sort of app manager on Market. I'll look.)
1a. There are several reports of alarms being set on alarm clock apps causing problems. On my fresh CM7.1 install, the clock did indeed have 2 alarms set. I deleted them and rebooted. No good.
2. Since there is a possibility of this being app related, I cleared the caches from CWM. Reinstall. It appears that this is a moot point, because I noticed in the install routine that it says "clearing caches". Oh well.
3. Got fresh copy of 1.3 .img file, and installed WinRAR. The unzip was a lot faster, but still not super speedy - about 1 minute (1GHz PC, WinXP)
4. Redid the SD chip again with my fresh files. Getting good at this. Win32Imager, safe remove, reinsert, copy CM7.zip, save remove, boot in NC.
5. No good. "Sorry! Process system is not responding". I've heard conflicting info whether "Wait" or "F/C" is better, but it doesn't seem to matter in my case.
So, short version: Tried new SD, new file downloads, new unzip utility. Meanwhile, over in eMMC land, rooted B&N 1.3 is cruising along just fine, with no errors or crashes.
Sure would like to try CM7, though.
At this point the only thing I can think of is that the sd card boot is conflicting with your rooted emmc. I've only created cm7 cards for stock nooks and never ran into any problems.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, I did most of this messing around before rooting 1.3. I only applied ManualNooter after it was becoming clear that CM7 might be a long drawn out process. I was needing Market access. FWIW, the boot manager that you can boot into from the card (enabling selection of SD or eMMC) has been working with both 1.3 and rooted 1.3 - which I suppose it should. I mean, nothing got broke in that department.
Anyway, I really appreciate the comments.
Just a thought ----
Is the v1.3.img file shown in the original procedure compatible with B&N 1.3 and blue dot partitioning? Or does it even matter? I'm guessing that it shouldn't matter, as CM7 is supposed to be running from SD, but perhaps the partition sizes on the SD are mimicked from eMMC, and incompatible?
Boy, I'm really grasping at straws here.......
Ok last one, did you try formatting the sdcard?

Yes, no, kinda, and sorta. The various cards that I used were new. So I basically assumed they had a fresh 'virgin' chip that would tolarate most anything. Again, assume. However, burning an .img file I think would render a format moot. Don't know that, just making another assumption.

Use the monster file thread link to build a 1 gig cwr boot disk with your sd. Drag and drop that file in the v4 emmc flashable.. Follow the instructions to boot from sd, wipe system, data (boot is optional, some say they do it without wiping boot, but I myself wiped) it will crash when wiping boot, just hold the power button and turn it back on. Then flash like any rom in cwr and when its finished take the sd out then select reboot... It will take you into honey comb... Check the threads for more help

I've got HC v04 preview running on eMMC (not SD card), and for me it is very stable.
I followed the instructions over on AndroidCentral. Here is the link:

I've got access to the market, apps seem to install fine, and all my old B&N stuff is still available. Frankly I prefer the free B&N Reader I downloaded from the market to what I had with the stock Nook. Even better, the kernal included in the package was already OC'd to 1.1Mhz, and I'm consistently getting 1,500 to 1,600 on Quadrant.
For me the total install was pretty smooth...just remember to follow instructions exactly.

did u do anything special to get your market to run? I cannot get it to download anything and after I cleared the cache stuff, the market wont even open.
When I first installed HC, I had the dreaded "market problem".
I can't find the original post to give proper credit, but I followed the following steps which resolved the problem.
Go to Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications and select Google Services Framework. Under Storage, press the "Clear Data" button, then "Force Stop".
Still in Settings=>Applications=>Manage Applications, select Market. Press the "Force Stop" button.
Then reboot and it should work...at least it did for me
not for me lol, just keep getting a error has occured try again later, thanks tho.
I strongly advise flashing the internal memory instead of using the SD. You can try the SD route once, but if it fails, don't waste your time. I've bought 4 different microSD cards just to try getting honeycomb working on NC. I read some of the recommendation in xda and purchased the cards with higher success rate. But after 4 days of fruitless efforts, I gave up today. Then I thought, what could go wrong, I don't use the Nook to read anyway, and went on to flashing the internal memory. Holy S*it. 10 minutes and I got honeycomb running.
I have somewhat reached a standstill in my NC endeavors, because I do want to continue using the device as an e-reader and keep the B&N in store features + stock apps that come with the Nook. I also really want to run Honeycomb from eMMC (class 4 sd card is cool for a bit but not really cutting it in terms of every day usability), as I am an android enthusiast, and this was one of the main reasons I bought the NC in the first place. Does anyone know if it's possible to do a dualboot of the two, without severely messing something up?
Another option I can imagine is having the stock Rom running from an SD card for B&N needs, if that is known to work any better. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge can add to my initial brainstorming of possibilities for this guy...
I had the same market problem. Then I flashed this zip through Clockwork Recovery and that seemed to fix things. Make sure and do the v003
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953603
Alright, so I'm 100% brand new to the Nook. Infact, I don't even have it yet, but I'm buying it tomorrow (3/3)
If I'm going to use honeycomb on it, do I just simply pop in the SD card and it's ready to go?
Do I need to root it before hand or is it already rooted?
How do I get GApps and Market running?
I honestly looked around a bit but I'm terribly confused. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Also, I can't even seem to get the IMG burned onto my microSD. Win32 Disk Imager keeps spitting back that the SD card doesn't have enough space, but it's an 8GB card with nothing on it, so it has plenty.
1) No, you don't have to root first - just pop in the uSD card and you are good to go.
2) To install Market and GApps you will have to install ADB on your primary machine first (which can be a PITA). There is all sorts of help around to do that. I downloaded a script (search for HoneyGapps.v2 here) that did the install for me in one step.
3) From what I understand the image is too large for Win32 Disk Imager. I used WinImage and it worked fine.
BTW - I am loving HC - I've adopted it completely. My major problem is that many apps are not showing up in the Market, even though they were installed and ran fine on my rooted 2.1 system. I think it is because the Market does not recognize the device name under HC 0.4.
How do I use WinImage to do that?
Sorry, but that program just confuses me, lol
First you use winImage and click disk then restore image. Make sure you have all files selted when looking for the file to restore. Are you going to install it to internal or on a USB card ?
Trying from SD card first unless it's too slow. If I want to install on internal, how do I backup my original Nook data?
Also, I figured out WinImage, I'm burning it now. I used another program, but that didn't do anything when I powered on the Nook. I shouldn't have to do -anything- before booting from the SD, right? The Nook is brand new, I popped in the SD card and it didn't work. We'll see what happens after WinImage burns it though
The SD version is kinda slow and if you look there is a Honeycomb EEMC V4 install that has the google apps and other goodies Installed. It has all you need already put in it. In the post you will find all the links and info needed to install. You just mount your nook like normal to your computer and copie the files from internal memory.

Haha, I had just started reading that a second ago actually. It lists a lot of problems. Are those problems present in the SD card version as well? Also, is Froyo more stable?
I have been running version 2 for a lil while and it runs smooth. I haven't had any real issues from it. I put it on my wife's nook also. It runs smooth and every app I have installed runs with no issues.
OK, I'm gonna try the script for GApps in a second. Where can I find the drivers for the Nook? I already have ADB installed, I've rooted 3 phones before this, so I got ADB usage down...
EDIT: Also, where can I find info on partitioning the SD card so I can still use it?
Honeycomb is built for tablets and sems more fluid. All are really development builds. We will all be waiting on the devs and google for the actual honeycomb
Which are you going to do the Sd or Internal ? If you load the version 2 internal it already has the Google apps included.
I haven't found a way to backup my original Nook data before installing it on internal. SD card works just fine, as long as I can find a way to partition it so I can still use it as an SD card. Either way, I still need the ADB drivers and the one thread I found so far has a broken link. Boo!
If you install it to internal you can then reformat the sd card and use it as normal.
OK, but then how do I back up the current internal memory and I still need a link to the ADB drivers in case I want to run off SD.
Use my USB mass storage utility (see dev). Make .tar files of internal data and system content.
To restore extract content back onto data and system.
Of course, if you get adb working, make dd images of partitions.. more conventionnal backup than above..

See? You're learning already then.
I don't know where to turn. I started a thread about my effed up nook but it got deleted (my fault) I'm completely at my wits end here. I had NookFroyo .68 working just fine on mine but like an IDIOT I thought it would be neat to try out CM7. Big mistake would not get past the animated N screen no matter what. I got the SD version of the Customized Nook Froyo to boot up but its very slow and stuff doesn't work. How do I get a ROM back on the eMMC? Some one suggested I get CWR and a ROM on the card and flash it via CWR off the card onto the eMMC. How exactly do I do this? I CANNOT get the winimage method to work no matter what I do and I don't know WHAT I'm doing wrong. Everytime I direct winimage to the place I've downloaded an image to, theres nothing there....
I thought I ALMOST had it a few minutes ago. I can get the CWR to come up and I flashed the flashable eMMC NF. I got my hopes up as it started to boot BUT OF COURSE NOT - went into a boot loop, constantly doing the N screen over and over. WTF.
I'm desperate here. I'm at the point where I'm willing to pay someone a small fee to help me get this sorted out. I'm going to keep on trying....
on win image, when you go to select the file. you must change the file types it see's to everything. that will let you see the .img file you downloaded.

Hi,
I found this post (in developers/cm7 users thread) very useful for installing
CM7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11535969&postcount=151
It is a little dated (weeks) but very detailed and should hopefully still all work fine.
Some more general information on:
http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor
I find that I never have enough uSD cards to use - so make sure that
you have several spare. The emmc Androids are still in general expecting
an external SD card for storing data such as ebooks etc. and CWM will
backup to the external cards too.
CM7 and Froyo use different disk format types for various partitions, don't know,
but that may be part of your problem?
Your PC won't normally read some of the linux partitions on the SD card
either - hence only 115MB showing. This is the boot partition, formatted with
FAT32 (a PC related format) In general you don't need to reformat this partition,
just update or change some of the files. (Some of the names of formats used include:
FAT32, EXT3 and EXT4)
CM7/17 and CM7/19 Have both been very stable and easy to use for me. I switched
to CM7 from Froyo 6.8 a week or so ago.
Good luck, the Color Nook is a fun device!

Thanks all I appreciate the help. I used some HP utility to take care of the cards, worked great.
Ok I've got a NF .68 up and running. Titanium backup worked beautifully. SetCPU is running it at 1.1 interactive..... HOWEVER!....
I flashed it with a another version of the CWM flashable .68 NF that I had previously. I tried to reflash the other version and it went to install then stated "Installation aborted". I tried twice and got the same thing. I guess its no big deal since their the same version just this one thats on there had some more tweaks hence the title "Customized".
My question is why did it do that? My guess I was supposed to format or clear the data/system/caches' in CWR. Is that right? If so, which ones precisly do I clear or format before flashing a new ROM? I'm starting to think thats' what happened when I tried to load CM7 (Yes I had CWR 3010) and go me all borked to begin with....
And if someone would like to answer a quick question. What this EXT4 stuff and how does it pertain to flashing ROMs? Thanks guys... Your advice got me back up and running!

Always format /system, /data, and /cache. Whatever you do DO NOT format /boot.
As to why you may have had an issue on trying the other ROM. My guess is it has to do with what version of CWR you had been using and wha twas on the device prior to flashing it. I've found if you make say a nandroid backup using 3.0.0.6 or earlier, and are currently using CWR 3.0.1.0 they don't mix well. And I think it has to do with the fact the older CWR version only supported ext3, and the newer one has ext3 and ext4 support. So once you install a ROM using CWR 3.0.1.0 that uses ext4, and then you try to go back to a ROM that is ext3 it just doens't work out like planned.
That all said I not longer flash CWR to eMMC, and I have a bootable sdcard running 3.0.1.0 with all my current and old backup files. Make life much much easier IMO seeing as you can always boot to an sdcard, and all backups are in the correct format and will Restore just fine.
Thanks for the info! I'm sure that will make trying to upgrade to CM7 actually work! LOL!
But first can someone explain to me what this EXT3/4 stuff is?
Different filesystems for Linux/Android. Wikipedia has pages for each if you want google them and get too much info
Too much info? No thanks! As you can see I can barely handle the info I'm getting now!
As per subject, mine is sitting there displaying the Cyanogen loading... and never move on, was that something to do with the sd card I used?
I have a 4g generic brand with the latest nightly build.

It depends on a few factors
a. Very first time when it compiling the entire new Dalvik cache, this takes quite a while
b. I personally feel booting from eMMC is faster than doing so from uSD card.
c. Image dependance. Normally it took 1+ minutes to get to the lock-in screen but the nb153 seems to be twice faster.
Hi vifinh,
Thanks for the prompt response.
How long is the "quite a while", maybe I was not patient enough?
I have never had a new install of a rom take more than 1.5 minutes to boot (using cm7) as was mentioned, the first boot takes a bit longer (30-45 seconds longer) but if you are seeeing longer than 2+ minutes, there is a problem with the install.

..in which case you should use adb logcat to figure out what's wrong. Usually a factory wipe will fix whatever issues you're having tho.
Thanks guys.
Mine was sitting there for over a half-hour with no movement, so there is something wrong here.
Sandisk class 4 (8 and 16g) has become the accepted standard here for SD based CM7.
If you read the verygreen install instructions, it contains a link to a thread that stresses how random block write speed is the most important factor on having a stable and fast sd CM7 system for the NC.
Replacing that generic SD is the first thing I would suggest doing.

1/2 hour was dead wrong.

Force power off then turn it back on again and see if it's better, if not, redo the clean installation.
Thanks to all the responses, I really appreicated them.
Before I gave up on my generic sd card , here was what I did:
(1) Used win32diskimager to write 4gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img to the card, removed and reinsert the card back to the PC,
(2) Unzipped the CM7 nightly build (I used the cm_encore_full-139 uild), then wrote its contents (META and system folders, plus all the remaining files) to the root of the card.
Plugged the card into my NC, and thiat was what I got.
Did I miss anything in between?

Based on what you described, yes, you have messed it up real bad but don't worry, here's the fix
(2) DO NOT unzip the CM7 nightly image, leave it intact, leave it as how it looks when you downloaded. Just out of my curiosity, why do you unzip and modify what inside? whose instructions you follow?
(1) "removed and reinsert the card back to the PC". You remove the uSD from what? Note: you use the PC (windows) to create the bootable uSD and then copy the CM7 nightly build over the root folder of the card.

Thanks!
(2) I thought that was the natural thing to do, lol.
(1) Immediately after the image file copy, the SD was not accessible to me, every time I tried to copy file (e.g. the zip file), the message that say something likes "Do you want to format the device?" would pop up. So I need to take the card out of the usb port and reinserted it, then the message disappear.
I would try your remedy and I am sure it would work this time.
Again, thanks!
Mine is now up and running, thanks votinh.
Glad to hear that!
Enjoy CM7, m8
Hi guys,
This is my first time posting but I have lurked on the forum for a long time so I first want to thank all of you for all the great information that has helped me root my phones, my first nook, customs roms and all. You guys are amazingly smart and makes me wish I played a little less sports in school and studied a little more. So again, thank you for all the sharing of knowledge on this forum.
So to my problem. I have had a Nook for months, was running Cm7 and life was grand. It was on my dresser and my dog knocked it off and split the screen right down the middle. I went 2 days ago and purchased a new one. With the issues of the locked bootloader on the Nook Tablet I decided to stay with the Color that I had already grown to love.
I have been trying to root it but keep running in to problem after problem. I downloaded win32 and half the time when I try to put the CWR image on the SD I get error 8. I have found many ways on here to fix that but it still happens HALF the time. I am running it as admin and running the oldest version. The other half of the time it will look like it is burning to image and says it is done. But after it finishes my computer will not let me open the SD device to put the zip files on it. When I try it says that it must format the SD card to open it. Every time.
Also, just to check if everything is working right, after it says it has finished burning the image on the SD I have put it in the nook to make sure it boots in to CWR, it does not. It boots normal.
My nook is version 1.2.0, I use the correct file for my SD card size, I format it using Panasonic SD Formatter and I cross my fingers, click my heels 3 times and wish upon a star. Nothing is working.
I believe the issue is my computer. I am running 32bit Vista on an older computer. I believe last time I rooted my first nook I used the laptop, but that computer has since exploded in a ball of fire and is no longer available to me.
I'm stressed. I am at the point where I would be willing to pay for somebody to mail me a boot ready SD card.
Any advice is appreciated and thank you in advance.
I assume
+ you have 2 NC, one that been knocked off by your dog and one is new, v1.2.
+ you want to run CM7 off the uSD
am I right?
Correct. I have the broke one with a non working screen and the new one which is 1.2.0
I do not want to run Cm7 off the SD but install it to internal memory. I want to flash CM7 on it and for it to never know it used to be a nook.
Have you considered the possibility you have a bad sdcard on your hands? Thats what it sounds like to me, either that or a bad card reader.
Also try redownloading the image file and maybe pointing us to the link your using so we can verify its correct. I actually just mounted the usb once I was in CWM and transferred the zip files I needed over then.
I have considered that. I have used multiple SD cards, I am trying a different new one at this moment as well. It very well could be the card reader, if that is the case then I am in trouble because there is not much I can do about it.
Here is the version of Win32 I was using.
Trying that one now. Thank you.
Edit.
I downloaded the different win32 and it wrote the image right away. I then went to open the card to pull the zip files on it but again when I try to open it I am told that I need to format it before I can use the disk.
This is frustrating.
Once again though I want to say I am very appreciative of all the help.
Edit Edit:
I put the SDcard in to the nook just to see if it would load CWR from the SD and again it did not and simply booted as normal.
Are you running Win32 as Admin?

I am running it as admin. I learned that lesson the first time I rooted. I am pretty sure the issue is my computer. I've updated my drivers but I am nit sure why there is such an issue. The computer is more than 5 years old so there could be a number of issues.
At this point, I would be more than happy to pay somebody to send me an sd card and return it to them. I travel often for work and it is such a geeat tool for my business and I did not realize how hard my every day work would be without it.
Once I write the image file my computer will not let me open the disk to place the zip files. If I could get past that it would be ok, I just can not figure out why it keeps wanting to format the disk before it will let me open it after writing the CWR image file.
Yep the issue is the burning if the image. Make sure you use one of the USB ports on the back of your machine when burning the image. I've found that the ones in the front can cause issues depending on the machine used.
It sounds crazy, but try formatting the card in your Nook first. I think it might solve your problem.
Alright we got everything working now!
So I tried a few different sd cards. I would use the size of image for the size of SD card. 2gb and 8gb. I formatted the 8gb and used only the 1gb image and it worked no problems.
I had followed some instructions that ended up giving me the black screen of death when it would start to boot up. I reformatted and flashed 1.0.1 stock nook, then re-flashed CM7 and all is well now.
Thanks guys!
