[HOW-TO] Repartitioning the NC back to 1GB/data, 5GB/media

Please do not quote this message. When information in this message changes, I can change this message, but not the quoted copies.
As many of you know, the newer Nook Colors come with a partitioning that allows 5GB of space (/data -- ext3 partition) for apps and B&N books/etc, and 1GB of space (/media -- FAT32 patition) for user side-loaded content. The older Nooks had the reverse: 1GB for /data, and 5GB for /media.
I first documented a manual process for reverting the newer B&N partitioning back to the old partitioning, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13971291&postcount=110 Upon several requests, I have automated it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14047474&postcount=129
Someone in that thread requested that I repost the information here, so that it could be "pinned". Therefore, I have reproduced and expanded that information here (I now regard the above thread as dead for this purpose).
Caveats:
You must have ClockworkRecovery installed on the Nook Color, or on a bootable SD card which accesses the Nook.
You must backup everything you wish to save, or archive it on the B&N site, because this will clear all your data on the device:
/data partition (0p6)
/cache partition (0p7)
/media partition (0p8)
The following partitions will not be touched:
/boot partition (0p1)
/rom (configuration) partition (0p2)
(hidden) recovery partition (0p3)
/system (whichever operating system you have) partition (0p5)
If you have added additional partitions (eg, via "internal dual boot": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959461 -- unlikely, given an existing 5GB/data partition), you must uninstall/remove them first.
The usual non-warranties apply.
The following are installed in the usual manner using ClockworkRecovery installs.
Download and copy to an SDcard, ONE of the following repartitioning install packages:
To use B&N v1.1 "old" 1GB "/data", 5+GB "/media" partitioning: http://www.mailpen.com/download/nook/repartition1GBdata-v1.zip
To use custom 1.96GB "/data", 4+GB "/media" partitioning: http://www.mailpen.com/download/nook/repartition2GBdata-v1.zip
To use B&N v1.2 "new" 5+GB "/data", 1GB "/media" partitioning: http://www.mailpen.com/download/nook/repartition5GBdata-v1.zip
Also download and copy to an SDcard, the following install package: http://www.mailpen.com/download/nook/reformatData-v1.zip
Boot into ClockworkRecovery with the above SDcard inserted in the Nook Color.
Install the repartition package from the SDcard, to repartition /data (0p6), /cache (0p7), and /media (0p8).
Mandatory REBOOT into ClockworkRecovery.
Install the reformat package from the SDcard, to reformat (and clear) /data (0p6), /cache (0p7), and /media (0p8).
If you backed up the B&N "/data" partition, then you should be able to restore and continue without reregistering, but don't count on it (you may have to reregister).

Hi DeanGibson, so you're basically indicating that by following this guide I won't have any problem rooting the new NC currently being sold?
I ask this because by reading different threads previously I had the impression that it's wasn't very clear if there would be issues or not with the new models.
I'm planning to buy a new one and this can make a big difference (going to another tablet brand or buying a new NC) if I'm confident that I'd be able to root it.
Thanks in advance.

Imho this should be made sticky in order to avoid confusion of new NC owners. Also it has been reported to work great. I will rely on this as soon as my NC finally gets delivered. Cheers!

The above repartitioning does not root the NC. In fact, you must have either:
rooted the NC first, and then installed "RomManager" (which requires root privileges and includes ClockworkRecovery) before doing the repartitioning; or
have an external SDcard which accomplishes the same thing.
This thread does not document that process; there are many other threads that do so.
The process I document is designed for the new models.

There was at least one report of a B&N staff member saying they can repartition new NCs to the old set-up if requested. Can anyone confirm it?

This was suggested by one person:
http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...ly-Change-to-the-NOOKcolor/m-p/1031812#M45946
Hardly a definitive statement, which was denied two posts later by a B&N store employee.

Well, having dealt with customer service (or tech support, actually), I suppose I would take the store employee's word over the alleged phone conversation :/ Pretty sure I saw someone on XDA saying they'd heard the same thing from a store employee, but again it's all what-ifs and hearsay--I haven't seen anyone say, "I went to B&N and they repartitioned my device," or "I went to B&N and they would not repartition my device."

I can confirm this method has worked for me on my NC. I also did a restore of my ManualNooter'd backup after running the second formatter zip. B&N settings menus shows that the available sideload storage is at 5.23GB.
I'm going to see if I can now properly load a Cyanogen build onto my NC's eMMC that will actually fully boot now.
Thanks a ton!
Edit: It took! I just got Cyanogen to flash to the eMMC for the first time successfully since I first got my Nook. Clockwork is also no longer complaining about dealing with /data any longer either. Kudos!

I have an unopened 2011 series, blue-dotted nook. Several hours ago, after reading the post about repartitioning at the store, I went to the Barnes and Noble where it was purchased and was assured, emphatically, that the Nook CANNOT be repartitioned at the store to the older partition scheme.
Off I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a 2010 series Nook (no blue dot). Wal-Mart had some of both series in stock.
One of the Nooks must be returned. I'm actually buying the Nook to play around with rooting, but have never rooted a Nook. So I guess starting with the old partitioning would be wiser for a beginner? I can't actually open it to verify what's on the 2010 series Nook for another week (gift).

rooting (emmc) the original partition NookColor is very simple to do . BTW both versions can run on SD roms.

thank you DeanGibson, I will try this on a refurb NC I just bought.

Thank you, Merchant -- I'll definitely start with SD rom method, keeping the original partition Nook for my second foray.

Wiser... perhaps. But where is your sense of ADVENTURE!

1. Download a CWM 3.0.2.8 sdcard image from this thread (credit: to cmstlist and DizzyDen). You really only need the 1gb image for this guide, no matter what the size of your card is. A smaller image will burn faster, and when you're done with the guide you can reformat the card anyway.
2. Extract the clockworkmod .img (if you can't open the file use 7zip)and burn to sdcard in Windows PC using win32diskimager (free) or winimage (shareware).

Yes but mostly because it is faster and you will only leave the sdcard bootable with CWM for a short time anyway.

now i see 5.23GB under available storage!

I would be very interested in the 1.96GB /data option!

CM7 SD card Users - How do you Backup?

Guys,
I have been using a micro SD based CM7.0.2 installation for quite a while now using verygreen's size agnostic SD image on a 16Gb card. I'm going to try 7.0.3 and an OC kernel but I want a backup since this uSD has become my main setup.
I figured I could image the disk win32diskimager (which is what I wrote the original image with) but unfortunately that tool seems to have a limit of 4Gb on the image file. So, what tool are 16Gb+ uSD card user using to back up your SD card? I want it to image the entire card with all partitions that way I can just backup the entire OS and all my data in one shot.
Any tips or pointers appreciated!

I've used win32diskimager multiple times to do just that with 16GB Sandisk cards. The image file in my case is 4.1G (as most of it is empty space anyway)
Every one of my SDs is archived this way whenever I update a new build/kernel.
I've never had more than 3G of files on any card so I can't speak to what happens if the actual content is 4G or greater.

My SD card is about 13 to 14Gb full.... my image is coming out @ exactly 4.0gb, I figured there might be some compression going on, but > 3 to 1 struck me as a little too good, so I'm not trusting win32diskimager.

What OS/File system are you using? I seem to recall FAT32 having a file size limit of 4GB. That could be what you are running into.
- Aerlock

I'll take a look. It's a Windows Vista desktop PC so I'd expect HDDs to be formatted NTFS but I haven't explicitly checked.
EDIT: It's NTFS. So that's not the issue. Chokes on more than one computer.

If you can not back up the whole disk image,
how about backing up just all your data files with the USB connection onto your pc?
It seems that each app has their own directory for their data.
Those directories can be copied directly with the USB connection.
This way you can have a new build anytime and still have all your data available.

I'm not sure I understand the concept of backup. What exactly are we backing up? I was under the impression that you can go from one CM7 release to another without losing anything.

It is true that one can update the system with old data intact.
But somebody may feel better if they have their data saved somewhere so that if something happen to the system, they can have their data available to them.
This is espicially true if you are using one device and if you have all your data on that device.

Or if you want to boot multiple OSes/mods and have a stable fall back point, or if you think a curious kid may pop your card out of your nook and lose it, or if the device is lost/stolen, or the new version of the OS your using is not so good/stable after all (happened to me w/ CM7 nightlies), or there's a hardware failure (SD cards are fragile and have a limited life), etc, etc, etc, etc.
Seriously, if you care about your data even in the slightest only an idiot would rely on everything working perfectly all the time, especially on a removable media, much less one that is tiny, and not ultra durable. Not mention the funky partitioning etc under windows, such that it is only readable when in the device and booted.
Anyway, winimage works but it p*sses me off since it's not free. Still dunno why the other tool chokes, it's gotta be some "32 bit" thing.

I could never get win32diskimager to image my 8gb or 32gb SD card it would die at about 90%...I may go for win image. I understand what you are trying to do. I use my 8gb as a default to boot into cm7 recovery when all else fails. Right now i just use titanium backup for my data.

[Q] Problems with Partitions.. CM7 SD boot

I am using an 8GB sd card to boot into CM7. I have checked the partitions and there is the "boot" partition which is really small, then a 1GB Nook Color partition, and a 5GB CM7 Partition.
I am not too concerned about moving partition sizes and such, I know there is some wasted space in there but I just want it to be stable rather than nit picking for space etc.
The problem is that when I am installing Android apps it comes up and tells me I am out of space. This doesn't make sense because both partitions are huge and I only have 1-2 apps installed and TONS of free space.
How can I get it to realize there is a ton of room?
Most android settings refer to saving "on the phone" or "on the SD" and I am not really sure which partition the OS thinks is "the phone".

If you used the SASD images by verygreen, then you need to check again... If that's all you see you need to set it up again... there should be 4 total partitions after running the SASD scripts

Ok so I did use verygreens image and created the little 116mb partition. I am reading some other threads that suggest resizing that before booting the Nook.
Is this first partition what the system later thinks is "the phone" for the purposes of installing apps?
If not, which partition does the SD booted Android system think the system drive is for the purposes of installing apps?

[Q] Use full Nook eMMC capacity for CM internal storage?

Just got my Nook Color tonight. I booted it from a CWM microSD card, installed CM 7.1 stable, gapps, and ran ROM Manager to install CWM to internal memory.
When I go to Menu, Settings, Storage, under the 'Internal Storage' heading, it says "Total space" of 5.09 GB and "Available space" of 4.68 GB. (One app installed so far)
Looking farther down the screen, it shows /mnt/eemc to have 1.00 GB of space.
Is there a way to combine them so that I have 5.68 GB of usable internal space to install apps to? Also, are those two the full available capacity of the eMMC storage? If not, can it be enlarged to maximum?
Also, further down the screen, it shows /mnt/usbdisk, with no space. Should it be left intact, or can it be safely removed to limit my confusion?
Thanks!

+1 to your question.
I'm gonna use my NC only as a tablet not any book reading so I don't think that 1GB is required.
Still let's wait for a dev. to give expert advice about this and possibly a how-to...

I would leave /mnt/usbdisk alone as it will be useful if you decide to use flash drives through nook tweeks in the usb section. As for the emmc data area, you can store data there with no problem if you are not going to use the nook as an e-reader.
By downloading the nook tweeks app, you will have access to the micro usb port (through an adapter) to transfer data between the nook and a flash drive or (using a powered hub) a card reader. You can also transfer data between the nook and a camera to directly save photos to the nook or view them. Usb host mode opens the nook up to another level and makes it a very functional tablet.
I use my nook with a digital camera on photo shoots so that I can preview my shots on a larger screen than that of the camera. You can check out my threads here concerning host mode. PM me if I can be of any assistance.

Hey there, I know long time but iI have some info to share since I'm having the same configuration as yours.
The 'Internal Storage' you're seeing isn't exactly the emmc. Its just that cm7 doesn't know its put on an SD. And it thinks the second or third partition of the SD (i.e. cm7 system partition) is internal.
Also that /mnt/eemc is the actual internal memory and thus these 2 can't be linked. However, the nook has another 5gb emmc internal partition callednmedia which you can possibly combine with emmc.

there are many threads about the NC partition layout and changing it. do a search. the 5g partition basically won't be used by your cm7 NC. the apps will go on the 1g. I repartitioned mine for 4g instead of 1g and 2g for /emmc. then you can set cm7 to swap the /emmc and /sdcard and then use the NC without an SD installed.

I wanted to merge internal data and media so as to get combined partition. I'm running CM7 off the SD card so I don't need to switch them. I was just thinking of merging them.

Yes, I understand that's what you want to do. However, those partitions are not contiguous space. Search on Nook Color partitions and you will quickly see why.
Specifically, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
which links to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13971291&postcount=110
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 is the "data" partition
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 is the "cache" partition
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is the "/mnt/emmc" partition
You are wanting to combine "data" and "/mnt/emmc". Problem is the "cache" partition is stuck in between them.
The other problem is your NC uses these two partitions for different things.
I think the suggestion I made before, which is to repartition for 2GB+4GB as in the first link, then do Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Application -> Use internal storage to get them to swap, is the best, simplest solution with the lowest risk. This uses the 2G partition for whatever normally is used for /sdcard by most apps (downloads, misc. files, temp storage, etc.) and 4G partition for your apps, and leaves your whole SD card for use solely for your side-loaded media content. This schema will not interfere with further CM updates or unnecessarily change the default partition scheme for which most of the devs are writing code.
If you want to become a Linux & Android master of partitioning and storage management, then you can probably implement a more custom scheme. In my last job I was a software engineer working on a Linux-based network-attached storage appliance and I wrote most of the system code dealing with disk and partition management, so you could say I know a lot about it, but still I chose the easy path for my NC.

Thanks for the info. But I'm just a highschool sophomore who loves technology. Can't do this unless someone has ever tried (and succeeded) before.
I'll probably use your method when I install CM7 (or CM9) onto emmc.

Apps2Sd is not supported in CM10.1.
And verygreen has the emmc version of CM10.1 set to use internal memory by default and there is no setting to change that. But I have developed a flashable zip that will swap internal and external SD's so that the default goes to external. See my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and look at item 4.

I don't get any reboots, but many users do. I think it depends on what apps you have installed and which run in the background that might be causing the crash and reboot.

The swap does not effect where things get installed. They will always get installed to internal memory. The swap only effects where apps download and save their media files.
If you are running out of room to install apps, delete or move some of the media files from internal memory. App installation files and internally stored media files share the same free space. If you get rid of some internal media files, more apps can be installed.
