Hi,
I am unable to post in the dev forums. hence opening this thread.
I am facing a problem installing sd card bootable CM7.
I am refering to the folowing thread: [ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
I do the following:
1. Burn the 9M image (that would unpack into ~130M disk image)
2. Put the downloaded CM nightly build on the sdcard
3. Put the card in the nook color and boot
4. The nook boots to the installation process...penguin image in a corner and starts the process
However, it gets stuck at "Writing superblocks and filesystem accouting information".
I dunno if its stuck or not......because the cursor keeps on blinking.
Its been about 30 minutes and the screen stays in the above status only.
For information, I am using 16gb Kingmax Class 10 microsd card.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.......

Ummm... did you unpack the image prior to burning it to your Sdcard?
In addition it is not proven yet to work on 16gig cards, it has only been tested up to 8gig cards.
Edit: Others now have posted that 16gig cards do not work.
And Class 10 cards are known to have issue with Nook.

Hi Adude...Thanks for the update.
Have a small doubt...
I am able to install and run successfully, the sdcard bootable CM7 bt image...which is for 2gb card.
I, then, expand that partition to the rest of the card.
So is it the size of the card thats the issue?
Can this 'size agnostic' image be modified to write only to 2 or 4 gb and then we can expand the rest. I will like to ask this question to verygreen, but i still have some posts to go till I can paste in dev forums.
Thanks again for the info.......
Bumping an old thread, since I have the exact same problem, and can't post in the proper thread as well.
But I used a 2GB class 2 card( I think, it's a generic card that you get in the bundle when you buy a phone) instead, but got the same message.
Did I harm the card in anyway? Can I use it again for this procedure? Or do I have to reflash it in some way?

Generic Class 2 card. You answered your own question, it's probably too slow.
Pity, that's the only card I have lying around.
I'm very new to this so sorry for some very basic questions. But:
1. How do I restore the card to it's original state? I tried the HPUSBFW.EXE file that is in the link above(how to flash a bootable SD guide) but it says that I need admin rights even though I already am admin. Is there any other way to restore the card?
2. I have another generic 2GB from a Sony X10 mini pro, but no idea to try that then? What kind of SD-card should I buy? Since I saw that too fast SD cards have problem as well.
I also can't post in the dev thread and am having issues with this. I'm using an 8gb sandisk class 4 microsd card. I used win32imager to burn the agnostic iso file to the card. Then I clicked exit, unmounted the drive, and plugged it back in. Now the drive shows as a 115mb drive with 107mb free. In gparted it shows as 2 partitions, 1 as 115mb and another as unallocated with the rest of the 8gb. Windows can't see the unallocated one though.
So right now I'm stuck and can't copy the nightly cm7 build onto the drive. Anyone know why it formatted it like this and what I can do to fix it?
Here's an image of what I'm talking about:
107 MB is enough

The nightly CM7 -87 file has around 91 MB (here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/cm_encore_full-87.zip), so you should have enough space to copy it onto your sd card. Actually, that leaves more than 15 MB available, so I suggest you also put the gapps in your SD card (here: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip)
About the unallocated space, it will be partitioned by the installer accordingly once you boot the NC with your SD card in it.
Looks like it's working now. I fit the nightly build on there but couldn't fit gapps(144mb). I messed up my froyo install earlier trying to put cm7 on, so I was worried I'd be stuck with a half functional rom for my upcoming 14 hr flight :/
Ok, now for my next question. How do I install it to the emmc? I tried installing it through froyo, but when I deleted the system folder and reset it to factory settings it messed up the froyo install, so now the rom manager doesn't work.
[Edit:] going to try following this thread:
http://fineoils.blogspot.com/2011/04/nookcolor-with-cyanogen-mod-70-emmc.html
What? Gapps is ~5MB only. If you're trying to install with both at the same time verygreen's instructions say that you should flash CM7 and turn on wifi first, prior to flashing gapps.
To install to EMMC you need to burn a CWM SD card, plop the nightly zip on there, boot up with it, then install zip from SD card (select the nightly). Wipe caches/data. Remove CWM card, hit reboot option in CWM menu. You'll need to either have a fresh SD card or reformat the CWM card since CM7 on EMMC requires an SD card in. Instructions for doing this (step by step) are somewhere in General forum by eyeballer.
(Also of note: the info that 16GB cards do not work with this image is no longer true)
Could anybody use a 16Gb sd card so far? I bought one just for the nook and now I found out that its not working - damn! I can't give it back so what? pls help!

I did too(both with issues and successfully), the only problem I had with my card is that with the size of cm7 and gapps you ahve to flash them separately, so do cm7 first, put the gapps on the boot partition then reboot into recovery.
if you don't do that you'll run out of space on the boot partition during installation.
I used verygreen's instructions to put CM& on a Sandisk 16 gig class 4. Worked the first time I tried. After CM7 I shut down, put gapps on, then rebooted into recovery.
I think the majority of the problems people are having is NOT READING the part in the verygreen instructions about using Sandisk cards.

Sandisk is not required.. I've also used Transcend and Kingston. Class 4 and 6 between the three.
What is required is a card that's not crap, or works like crap in the Nook Color. An OS does a lot of small operations or uses a lot of small files, so even if the card is great at mass transfers but sucks at smaller ones, it's going to be a bad experience.
Sandisk is one way to avoid it. So if you're buying one, might as well make it Sandisk. Any others.... if it doesn't work right, try a different card. That easy.
Hi guys, I just got a new color and want to root it. Ive read and it gets a little confusing and Im wondering where I can find full instructions or maybe even a video on how to fully root it. I have the new version 1.3.0. Also, what is the best rom to use right now? Thanks.
Do you want the the internal system or use a MicroSD card to accomplish it?
I have done 4 Nooks using the uSD card and it has worked very well.
I just did this last night, and there is a very simple tutorial here
(hope its ok to post this link)

I did everything they said, and it went smoothly. Now I have an awesome "tablet"!
Thanks. I am writing the image file now. When all is said and done, do I have to worry about OTA updates from Barnes and Nobel and if so what can I do to prevent them???
I rooted my daughters nook tablet and had to go through the process of blocking updates from barnes and nobel because it was preventing her from installing apps other than from barnes and nobel. Just wondering if the color will be the same since this is a full root.

This guide says to use a Nook Color with 1.2. Will it work with one that is running 1.3?
Yes, I have 1.3 and used this method posted above and I am now running Cyanogenmod 7.2. Looks reat! Now I need to find out about updates........
32GB SD
So if I purchase a 32GB SD card can I use the left over storage on the SD card after rooting? Also, I thought I heard that a class 4 SD card is the best to get. Anything slower, may cause issues. Is that correct as well? My new nook is on tha way and I am getting ready to root it.
Thanks in advance.
You should use a class 4 Sandisk card.. even faster cards of other brands do not work as well.

One last newbie question. So if I have a 4GB SD card formatted to boot with WinDiskImager, can I use that to back up my original nook 1.3 image before I root it? Then copy the CM7 and google apps zip files to it and use that to root it? Once rooted place a blank 32GB SD card it in for storage use? Then I can keep my 4GB SD card as a backup and also us it for root updates? Am I on the right track.
Thanks in advance, this thread has been helpful!
Hey fellas,
I followed all the steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 that link up until step 8, where my Nook would not recognize the SD card as a boot disk. My laptop does, however, which means the burning of cwm3.2.0.1 worked fine. The Nook just starts up as it normally would without automatically booting into recovery. The SD card is recognized as a standard SD card in the Nook, and all the files are seen (but can't be opened because they're not recognized...I'm not sure if I missed something or what, but I can't figure it out. It's running stock 1.2 and the SD card is a class 10 Samsung 32G, which works just fine. Any advice?

Is that actually why it's not going to boot? I think I have a 2GB class 4 in my phone...
Sandisk. It's important that it be a Sandisk class 4.
Somehow your card is not burned properly. It could be your card like misry said. But it could also be the steps you took. Pay attention to what eyeballer said in his first post. 'Run as administrator' and use external usb readers instead of built in readers.
The Nook is very finicky about how a card is formatted before it will boot from it. Your PC can read it, but the Nook will not boot from it. If the image from eyeballer is burned properly, it will boot.
Now that he mentions it I think leapinlar has a better handle on this one.
Alright I'll give it a try and Jerry you guys know! Thanks!

What are you booting? The trick is to get the card formatted so it will boot in the first place.
Also if your dual boot sd is a cm, boot to that and go to ROM Manager and flash CWM to emmc using the first menu choice. Then you have CWM on internal memory you can use for flashing, backing up, etc.
Edit: I just added a section to my tips thread linked in my signature to help users understand about bootable SDs.
leapinlar said:

Back up by renaming to .bak all the existing files on the boot partition of the working sd and put eyeballers cwm files there (all of them, including mlo, uImage, uRamdisk, etc.) See if that boots into cwm. If not, just remove eyeballers files and restore the original files.

First you are running on a Nook Tablet, not a Nook Color. You will never get eyeballers CWM card to run on that. That is for Nook Color. Second, that is not how you flash CWM with ROM Manager. You use the first two menu choices. But you will find no CWM for the Nook Tablet listed there. I suggest you start reading the Nook Tablet forums, this is Nook Color.
I think my not being able to boot is an issue with the Nook. On my first Nook that I got around Christmas, the root worked just fine. But the one I was recently asked to root, with the same card (32GB class 10), no success. I'm trying to find a backdoor into recovery so I can circumvent this issue. there has to be a way to manually boot into stock recovery and work from there

You say you got the card to boot to the CWM card on your other nook. Will it still boot it? If you have prepared the card fresh, see if you can boot it with either nook. And you are sure this second nook is a Nook Color, not a Nook Tablet like the other user above? They look very much alike.
Edit: You say root, do you mean you want to root the stock on emmc or do you mean flash CM on emmc?
Edit 2: If you are using winimage to burn, be sure to select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image on Physical Drive" rather than "write disk".

I created a CWM SD card (SanDisk 8GB Class 4) and it booted CWM just fine, I backed up and installed Gapps and rooted it. Everything was working fine except I wanted to get "incompatible" apps to work from the Play store so I edited the build.prop (it worked for me in the past).
Then the next time it booted it would just loop the nook boot logo, so I ended up resetting the whole thing (back to 2.0.2). Then I registered it and updated it and it works fine (just no root or gapps).
But the only problem is now it won't boot from the SD card no matter what image I use. It just boots normally as if there was no SD card. The only reaction I got was from using the boot files from N2A (last ditch effort) and all that did was go to a blank screen after the nook logo.
So that's where I'm at, I can still use the nook for what it is, but I'd rather have root and the play store
Thanks
Read my HD/HD+ Tips thread and you will understand why your edit to the build.prop did not work. You cannot modify any /system file without it resetting itself. In fact, I think I told you that in my universal root thread.
It can sometimes be difficult to get the CWM SD to boot from a cold start (powered off). Maybe yry reburning the card again. I find sometimes I have to just keep trying, reinserting the card and powering off immediately when you see it is not going to boot to the SD, and starting again. But don't do this more than 8 times in a row without letting it boot to stock successfully at least once or it will reset.

Funny you should say that, because I just tried over and over and reburning and eventually it took! haha I was trying all day and finally got it working.
Everything is going good now, is there any way to fix the incompatible app issue on the play store? For now I can just download them elsewhere, but it would be nice to get em from the store

I formatted the card in the nook and made some progress with the rev6 sdcard tool, but the nook still ignores it when booting. The sdcard can be read on my laptop. I have lost.dir, mlo, u-boot, uImage, and uRamDisk. Only 8.3mb of the sdcard is used.
I noticed that when I tried to root the nook from the sd card, it will continuously boot regularly. I remember trying like 7-8 times and thought maybe it one on the nooks that would not boot from sd card no matter what.
I decided to format the sd card again and re-added all the needed files and somehow it just booted into the cwm screen. You would not believe how relieved I was not having to return it for another one.
I can only say be persistent and the sd card will get loaded.

I spent a couple hours trying to get my brand new HD+ to boot from a new SanDisk 64gb or an older Samsung 32gb. Neither booted - it'd always just boot to stock. For $9.99 @best Buy I got a PNY 4gb card with adapter. Formatted with SDFormatter, marked the partition active with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Copied the files linked in this thread. Under the "Obsolete Zips" section, I used the file:
NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-BOOTFILES-r4-(05.15.13).rar​
Extracted, copied to the SD.
Booted first try and several subsequent times. Enough to get my recovery & CM 10.1 all set.
Oops, I was looking at the nook color thread. I got it to work today on my 1gb card. I quickly ran out of storage, but I saw enough to be convinced to install CM10 on the internal memory. Thanks for your help.

You have really got things mixed up. This is a Nook HD/HD+ thread and you linked to a Nook Color thread (they are different devices). CM7 does not run on the Nook HD. No wonder things are not working for you.
If you truly have a Nook HD, find a Nook HD thread for installing CM to SD (has to be CM10/CM10.1/CM10.2 though).

Thank you for the reply. I checked and yes I do have a Nook HD 8GB. I got it from walmart for $129.
So just to confirm - No CM7 will run on Nook HD?
Can you install CM 10 without rooting the device? And if so, is a non-rooted install that runs directly off the SD Card significantly slower than it was flashed to internal memory?
If CM 10 has to be installed to the internal memory, are there dual boot options that would keep what i have on the nook saved?
Also, I noticed when i tried to put CM7 on the SD card, it created a 113 image file, and left the remainder of the disk as "unallocated" - so during the install process how does that unallocated space get turned into usable space?
Any link for the build I need would be very appreciated. Not trying to get anyone to do the work for me, with all the different builds and install files, its complicated for a first timer.
Thanks for help

If CM 10 has to be installed to the internal memory, are there dual boot options that would keep what i have on the nook saved?
Also, I noticed when i tried to put CM7 on the SD card, it created a 113 image file, and left the remainder of the disk as "unallocated" - so during the install process how does that unallocated space get turned into usable space?
Any link for the build I need would be very appreciated. Not trying to get anyone to do the work for me, with all the different builds and install files, its complicated for a first timer.
Thanks for help

No, CM7 will run on the Nook HD.
You do not have to root stock to run CM from SD. You can run CM10.1 from the SD and leave stock intact. So you can boot back and forth. If you do, I recommend the hybrid install here:

It runs more quickly and has more stability. But be warned the instructions can be confusing.
There are no dual boot options that allow you to fully install two systems to internal memory.
And that old Nook Color SD that you used is different than how the Nook HD SD is installed. But you do have to follow directions to get everything to work and fit.
