CM7 Nook SD Card image?

Does anyone know if there is a SD Card runnable image of CM7 for the Nook? I don't want to root my Nook instead I am running the SD Card image OS at boot. I am currently running Honeycomb and while I like it I wanted to try CM7 before I get settled on a base ROM. that said does anyone know if one is available or how I could go about setting one up on my SD card?
Thanks,
Adan

There was talk of one in this thread:

Guess it didn't work or mckooter didn't get to it yet.

Why is the Nook Color so different?

I just ordered a Nook Color from eBay with the $50 off... happy yes I am!
I've been with Android since the G1, now I have a droid... how come flashing ROMS and SD cards are so different? You have to put it internally on the Nook instead of on the SD card? Flashing off SD card causes problems? CWR doesn't work? Can anyone explain? It seems much tougher than my droid, just putting the file on my sd card then going to recovery and hitting update, or same with the gTab or Adam.

Unlike most phones, flashing a majority of ROMs (not all) for the NC wipes the Recovery -- ie, wipes it off the device.
So you create a Recovery SD card (the NC auto-boots into it) and then flash ROMs just like you would for a phone. Then take out the SD card when done with Recovery.

It wipes only the recovery correct? Not anything on the sd card? Ill search up how to make partition for recovery sd. Thanks.

Yeah, it'll wipe everything on the NC only, and not touch the SD card.
Here's the thread for creating a 3.0.0.6 Recovery SD Card (needed for CM7 Gingerbread ROM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959240
See post #19 for detailed instructions.
For FroYo I believe you need to use 3.0.0.5, found elsewhere.

just ordered my NC off ebay too. i'm reading up all i can as fast as i can. coming from an evo where wiping is too easy, this is going to be a bit more complicated, i can't wait!!!

More complicated, maybe, but also much safer since you basically cannot brick an NC... No matter how badly you screw up the internal flash, you can always boot from SD to fix things.

I bought 3 Nook Colors yesterday and rooted every one of them and installed HoneyComb on one, all in less that 2 hours start to finish including downloading images and making the SD card. I made one SD card with CWR with images for the stock ROM, CyanogenMod 7 and HC eMMC v4. It all works flawlessly. This thing really is simple to manipulate. I had more trouble making a gold card and rooting my HTC Inspire!

Well I want to chime in on this too now because I'm new to this as well. What are the advantages/disadvantages of nookie froyo on the sd card vs flashing a rom to the internal?

well sd cards are slow and internal memory(eemc) is fast
if you install froyo/cm7/HC on your eemc it will run much faster vs running from sd card, running from sd card is good though if you want to try out a rom without losing your current setup

cm7 on bootable sd card

I already have cm7 on my nook color emmc
buddy wanted a bootable sd card, so i thought i ll grab verygreen image and put latest cm7 on it
the problem is, when i pop in the card, nothing happens

[Q] Just need some clarification regarding cm10 (Nook HD+)

So I'm trying to follow everything from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38153094#post38153094 and I got lost at the part where I have to burn the image. When I burn it basically repartitioned my 8gig sd card down to 120mbs... What am I doing wrong? I don't know if I need to burn cwm first or if it's included there?

That is what it is supposed to do, be 120 MB. And that 120Mb includes the CWM so you can flash the CM ROM. When you boot it in the nook, it further partitions it so that CM can be installed on the SD. Don't worry, the rest of your 8GB will be available.

Ok, the problem I had was that I was confused regarding where to put the rest of the files, apperantly I'm and idiot and didn't realize I'm supposed to put them in the internal memory... Ok let's see how it goes, thanks!

jmstrat said:
Thanks but how am I supposed to copy the cm10 zip file and gapps/converter file if they wont fit onto it? Also do I just insert the sd card in and then it automatically reformats it and then I'm supposed to plug it back into my pc drag the cm10 files and then put it back into the nook again? Forgive my ignorance I really want to try this out though! I also forgot to mention that I haven't done anything with my nook, it's non rooted and then only thing I've done is sideloaded the playstore on there, that's it. My nook is completely stock.

I'm not sure you read my instructions. I said to put the CM zip, gapps zip and converter zip on the internal media SD built into the nook, not on the external SD inserted into your PC. So it does not matter if the SD is only 120 MB, you are copying nothing there. Just download the zips with stock to internal SD or hook your cable to the PC with stock booted and copy to internal SD.
EDIT: I just edited the OP to clarify all this.

Oh no I figured it out!!! I thought I deleted that comment I didnt want to embarrass myself.. I have another question, I'm using an 8gig card, but I want to get a 64gib card, what should I do when I get the new card, reburn and do the same steps? Thank you for replying to my question so quickly you're ****ing awesome! Wow I'm just messing around with cm10, it's like a new tablet, holy ****. Sketchbook pro appears to have less latency, finally I can draw! So what else is possible with cm10 now, what do you like about cm10 that wasn't possible before? Also what build prop is the tablet being seen as now?

If you want to move to a larger card, use win32diskimager to read the 8GB card to a file. The file will be 8GB. Then use win32diskimager to write that file to your new 64GB card. Then use partitioning software like Mini-Tool Partition Wizard to expand the last partition to the full size of the card.
The build prop is set as a B&N Nook HD.

[Q] Installing CM 10 on Nook HD+

I was installing CM from verygreen thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364" Nook HD+ CM10 development (sdcard) updated 5/11.
I am using a san disk 32gb sd, i followed the steps unzip cwm image and write it to your sdcard using Win32 Disk Imager as he linked. Did that and booted into the nook hd, mounted it no problems. I haven't used ADB so i turned off the nook as it says to do and went to put the cm-10-20130511-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip on the sd card. One problem the sd card now shows 116mb only of the 32gb and with no option to reformat it to make it larger. I tried formating from CWM didn't do anything. Pleas help i read the forums link for about 30mins with no answer to solve this problem. Just seen pushing ADB which i'm not familiar with. Thanks for any help suggestions.

I have an install guide for that ROM. Look at my HD+ easy install guide linked in my signature. I have a new image file there to help you.

Thank you! One problem so far, i went and installed the cm10 and gapps on the internal sd. i rewrote the sd card with your 6028cwm.
Once i insert he SD it says on the bottom CWM v6.0.2.7 and it wouldn't mount the emmc to install Cm10. I rewrote the sd card again and it said it took and still same thing.
Also tried your newer ramdisk but i can not rename my old ramdisk.cwm once its in my computer.
EDIT: I was using the Micro to full size SD adapter and that was locking it. I took the Micro and put it right into a micro sd card reader and BAM! Installing now.

Ran into this problem where it just locks up on booting, I take the SD card out stock nook works great. Loads to 99% then nothing, just hangs. I let it sit for an hour even.

You are confusing me. This thread I'd for HD+. Yet you say the CWM said v6.0.2.7, which is for the HD. You should not be following my old guide if you are using verygreen's new SD scheme.... Oh I see your other comment was an old one....
The reason it stopped at 99% is the old SD version has too many partitions to allow stock to boot. It hands at 99%. To fix the problem, remove the SD before booting to stock.

With no SD card in it works great on stock nook. The problem i'm running into is it wont boot to CM with the SD in. I get the cynogen start screen then a laggy cynogen loading then it goes to the stock nook with the 99%.

So the problem i am having is i cannot boot to CM with the SD card in. Without the card it works fine.
With the card in its boots to CM screen and the circle loads choppy and then it swaps to the nook 99%.
I just want the CM to boot. Any help will be greatly appreciate it. I can boot to CWR and i did mount the SD card and still same problem.

You need to abandon that SD setup and start fresh with verygreen's new SD scheme. The old setup had some bugs. His new setup work much better. So go to his HD+ sdcard CM10.1 thread and start over with his early 7.1 cwm image. Then install his latest ROM and gapps and you will be very happy.
