It took me a while to figure it out, but so far what I've done is I've loaded clockwork using the image writer onto a micro sd card.
Load it up on the nook. When it hits menu, I took the card out, reformatted it, loaded on the distro for CM10.
Problem is, when I put the card back in and tried to mount it, no mount.
I next tried keeping the distro on the nook's internal flash memory.
But again, can't mount it.
If I try to move the distro to the card with the image written, it says no space.

You are not saying which device, except you say CM10, which probably means HD+. If you have an HD+, got to my HD+ SD install guide linked in my signature. It has an image that makes it easier since you can mount with internal memory. Or you can use the Hybrid install which makes it run a bit faster.

If you are using verygreen's image, it cannot mount emmc. He has disabled it. Use mine from the thread I mentioned earlier, it has been modified to allow that. And you don't need to mount it with mine anyway, just choose "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory".

OKay, did the 4gb clockwork installer. It does allow me to flash, but I'd really prefer to only flash a card and leave the device vanilla if I remove a card.

There is no 4GB image in that thread, only My CWM thread has one, and that is for stock, not CM10. If you go to the correct thread, it will all be clear. I made that thread just for people like you that were having problems installing CM10 and confused.
But if you don't want to go there, don't. I just was looking back at the threads and you asked twice in two different threads and I gave you the same answer in both threads. Some people are just beyond help.

I just got my Nook Color and am looking into how to go about rooting it for CM7. I checked out CM's Wiki page on it here and it mentioned using uNooter. I haven't read about this tool anywhere else and Google searches for it turn up practically nothing. Is this not the right tool to use? The forums mostly seem to mention ManualNooter, Auto-Nooter, etc. Also is it possible to flash CM7 on the internal memory and avoid using an SD card altogether?
Never heard of unooter and I've been reading theses forums since December. Auto mooter was to root the older firmware 1.0 ,1.01,and 1.1. Manualnooter is for the newer froyo firmware.
Rooting stock is not required to install CM7.
You simply need to create a Clockworkmod recovery microSD card and you can then flash CM7 (which is pre-rooted) from Clockworkmod.

Thanks. I figured this would be relatively easy compared to rooting and putting CM7 on my EVO but reading on here there seemed to be a few different approaches. Will that method allow me to flash CM7 to the eMMC, and after that point will I no longer need the SD card to boot? I ask because I don't have a card on hand and am considering backing up the contents from my phone's card and using that.

Correct.
You only need the SD to install a bootable CWM then you can flash CM7 from that. After words when CM7 is installed to eMMC you are able to use Rom Manager to install CWM to eMMC as well, so everything will be set up on the device's internal memory. SD is needed only for the initial boot of CWM to install CM7.

Thanks. From reading around it seems you can't use a phone or the Nook to mount the card and write the image, so I'll have to buy a reader and might as well get a card for the Nook at the same time. Since I'll be flashing CM7 to eMMC does it really matter if I get a class 4 or above card like many suggest? I'm not sure what's in my EVO but that is my benchmark. Class 2 seems to be what comes up in searches the most.
The general consensus it's to stick with Sandisk SD cards for the Nook. There are others that work as well but Sandisk it's pretty much a guarantee of zero issues. You can usually score an 8 GB class 4 Sandisk at Wal-mart for a Jackson.

I was the one that put together uNooter after being contacted by the individual that maintains the CyanogenMod wiki. They wanted a universal Nooter that would only root the device, install Superuser, ADB, RomManger, and work on all versions of the NC software. They asked that it be called uNooter. It is not released anywhere else, so that is why you did not see any mention of it on a Google search.

That information is really only relevant to running a ROM from the SD card. If you're only using the card for storage, or to get CM7 on eMMC, manufacturer and card class don't matter.

I wrote my image over USB to a card in the NC without a card reader. I've seen wiki guides saying there's a greater chance of the write getting interrupted, rendering the card unusable at least in the short term, but it worked for me. It was only when I wanted to revert the card to storage that I ended up needing a card reader. The links in my sig have a little more info about using the NC as your card reader, but you're probably better off just grabbing one.
Also, while CM7 does not require an SD card, many apps do. Your experience will be somewhat limited without one.

Great to hear directly from the source, thanks! I'm surprised more people don't point to your tool on the forums given that it's right on the CM Wiki. At this point I'm a little confused about the various approaches to do this. Does your tool install ROM Manager directly into the stock Nook interface, and then I flash from there, versus booting CWM off the SD as people mentioned earlier in the thread? Sorry if that's completely off-base.

Yeah, I thought about this as well and figured I'd want a full-time card for the device so I ordered a card with SD adapter. I figured the specs didn't matter at all for a data card but picked up a class 4 Sandisk anyway.

I received notice this past Monday that the cleaned up version of the CyanogenMod wiki was online, so not a whole lot of exposure for people to talk about it. I believe the old wiki had listed the different Auto-Nooter and Manual-Nooter that went with each software version, thus taking up a lot of space and confusion. AN and MN are more tailored to people that want to stick with the stock software, but enable full Android Market access. People that want to go from stock to CyanogenMod don’t need all the extra software that is bundled with AN and MN just to be able to flash CyanogenMod. By eliminating all the version specific software I was able to create a version that would work on all current, and hopefully future, software versions.
Yes, my versions will install Rom Manager directly into the interface. You would then allow Rom Manger to install CWM Recovery, and then you can download and install CyanogenMod from the device. You could also take a full backup of your current stock rom. Using uNooter or bootable CWM will both get you to where you want to go, it is really up to you on how you want to get there.
Instructions for installing CM7 to the eMMC using CWM on a SD card (which can later be reformatted for storage) is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227.
GMPOWER and bigbob23: Thanks for the info, that was exactly what I needed to clear everything up. I suppose backing up the stock ROM would be useful in case I ever needed to restore it for warranty purposes or anything. I'm not sure which approach I'll go with, my SD card came today so I'll be reading over both techniques and giving one a shot!
Thanks again.
I went through the process with uNooter as outlined on the CM Wiki and it went perfectly. The only thing was I had to use SD Formatter and the earliest 0.1 version of Win32 Disk Imager to get the image to write to the SD card. Not sure if that problem is specific to Win7 64-bit but maybe I can mention it on the wiki.

I am glad that you got everything to work right. I think the problems that you might have experienced are more associated with win7 x64. My replacement laptop with win7 x64 will not be here for another two weeks for me to test it on, but in the past I have had to use Unlocker almost every time to unlock the usb drive before I could proceed with flashing using Win32 disk imager. On my current windows 7 x86 setup, I have yet had to use Unlocker to be able to flash an image with the win32 program. HERE is a post with people having problems in the past with win32 disk imager on win7 x64, they took the same path that you did with Panasonic SD Card Formatter to fix it.

ADB after uNooter?
Above, GMPOWER mentioned ADB as one of the items uNooter installed. I've rooted with uNooter in part because *nothing* *else* I could find would actually boot on my NC and in part because I liked the idea of a relatively minimal root. I figured I could then push any apk's I wanted to add with adb.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be working. I used "NookColor Tools -> All Settings -> Development" to enable USB debugging, but 'adb devices' shows nothing. If I plug in my G2 with CM7, adb finds it just fine, so I'm pretty sure I've got the computer side of things working. Any hints about getting the NC to play nice?

If the card boots on another HD+, you did it right. But if it has never booted, you could have something not right. Bad adapter (you should not be using your built in PC card reader, user an external reader), not using administrator mode running the software, maybe the specific card. It is sometimes difficult to get it burned so that it will boot, and then sometimes the specific device is just hard to boot.

Having had a similar problem yesterday using an old version of disk imager, I'd recommend down loading the version from leapinlar's post which solved my problem straight away. I couldn't discern any difference between the data actually on the card but it worked, so worth a try. I was using a Sandisk 8gb class 4 card which is usually the card recommended. Hope this helps.

It is not strange, it is the way it is supposed to be. After it boots, it repartitions the card so it can be used for running CM. You are not supposed to be copying the ROM zips there.

There is no way to root stock or install a custom rom without a bootable SD.
If you want to root stock, the easiest way is to make a bootable CWM SD per my new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
If you want to replace stock on internal memory with CM10.1, then use that CWM SD to flash verygreen's emmc version of CM10.1 from his thread.
If you want just to add an SD version of CM10.1 and not replace stock, go to my HD+ Hybrid thread also linked in my signature.
And when you get a USB card reader, try to get one that will read a micro SD without an adapter.

That CWM will only let you backup the sdcard installation, not stock internal. And it won't even do that until you install it.
If you want to modify or backup stock see my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
And it is slow and awful because you have a slow SD. Use my Hybrid SD setup to improve things. See the link also in my signature.
You can also replace stock with CM10.1 on internal. Use my CWM for stock in the second paragraph above to do that. And flash verygreen's emmc version of CM10.1.
Edit: I guess I said all that in my post above.

Delighted with my nook hd+ running CM10.1
I have tried like 3 times and every time nothing happens. I put the gapps and a file named "cm-10-20130511-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard" onto and sd card. Reboot it into recovery, delete system files, install those two etc, and it always is still cyanogen 10.2 every single time. I want cyanogenmod 10 so that I will be able to play with wii remotes and bluetooth and stuff and yeah. That was one of the main reasons I wanted my nook. If there are any other ways to do that, that would be great as well. And then two more things, when I reinstall and delete system files, all the stuff ont he internal memory are still there and I don't know if it is supposed to be like that? And then another problem with my nook is that sometimes when I try to unlock it the screen just blinks and won't open no matter what and I just have to reboot. And lastly, when I am charging the nook it always jsut keeps blinking no matter what I try. If you could respond asap that would be great, I kinda need it for school and don't feel like installing everything if it won't be permanent. Thanks a lot!
TLDR; I have a lot of issues with my nook!
Yes, you have a lot of questions in that post. First, explain a little better what you are running. That CM10 zip is for an SD install and I am betting you are running CM10.2 on internal memory.

And the unlock screen problem is probably the magnet in you cover. Open the cover twice to get around it.
Don't know the problem about charging/blinking.

Yes, you have a lot of questions in that post. First, explain a little better what you are running. That CM10 zip is for an SD install and I am betting you are running CM10.2 on internal memory.

All I remember is that what I installed the cm 10.2 with is 2 zip files from an sd card, and did the same as I did when I tried 10. However, when I did 10.1 (What i weas running before all of this) I installed through a bootable sd card with zip files. And how do I get rid of stuff on internal? Do i need to? Thanks for all the other answers too. And is the file name I even sent you cm 10? Just want to make sure so I am not being stupid. Also the stuff on my sd card is still all the same I just used a different external sd card for the install. (Which I would rather do if possible)
You probably installed CM10.1 and CM10.2 to internal memory. That is why that one marked sdcard will not work. I don't think there are any CM10 zips that will work on internal memory. They are all for SD. (You can tell because the say 'sdcard' in the name.) Why is it you think you need CM10? If you want it you must install it on SD. There is a thread for it in the dev section. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35087686
If you want to wipe the media files off of internal with CWM, go to mounts and storage and choose 'format data and datamedia'. That will clear the media files. But you do not need to do that unless you are worried others will see it. It makes no difference to installing things.

Ok, is the emmc one the one that I can install on the internal memory? And i dont get it because it says to use the same install method for the one that I did and you say that that install message is wrong. And then, can I still have stuff on my sd card while it has the install on it or does it have to just be for the install. And then for gapps and cwm do I have to install those again? sorry for my stupidity
Yes both the SD install and the emmc install use a bootable CWM SD to install them. But the CWM SDs are different. The CWM menu is the same, but one is coded to install the ROM on internal memory (emmc) and one is coded to put the ROM on the same SD that the CWM is on.
For a long time only SD installs were available, then the developer figured out how to install to emmc. Now almost all ROM zips are for emmc.
You did not answer my question about why you think you need CM10. You said something earlier about wii. I don't think CM10 on the HD supported wii.
You are just too confused to be helped. I suggest you read a lot more.

Sorry I wrote this whole thing to you and then accidently deleted it, the only reason I actually need it is for wii remotes to work via bluetooth. The newer cyanogenmods and android builds broke it so it supposedly only works in cyanogenmod 10
And then in response to the last one, all i need to do is install the emmc? Do i need the newer gapps or cwm? And i just do it the same way as i did before?

If you want CM10 you must install to SD, not emmc.
But your wii information for CM10 is for other devices? Do you know if wii ever worked on the HD+ with CM10?

You are in luck. I found an emmc version of CM10 dated 5/11. Get it here.

Wow. Litterally almost nothing works in the cyanogenmod 10. haha. Thanks for your help anyway though man.
I recently acquired a nook HD, and I immediately went on to install CM 10.1.
Things were fine and dandy until I loaded up about a quarter of my e-book collection (roughly 3gb's) on to my Nook.
I had placed them into the external 32gb SD I had, and when I checked the storage stats, Aldiko had imported them into the internal storage space.
Immediately after I searched up solutions, I found leapinlar's SD swap for CM 10.1/10.2.
I ran it but nothing happened.
I am currently running CM 10.1.3 RC-2
It is rooted.
My CWM version is stated to be "EMMC CWM-based recovery v. 6.0.3.2"
I've tried all of the SD swap zip files loaded onto all sorts of locations.
I have tried many permutations of installation ordering.
I've cleared data, repaired permissions countless times.
At this point, this today marks two weeks since I ventured into this endeavor.
And for the longest time, I have given in.
I made an account on this forum to ask this question; to shout a plea for help.
Prior to making an account, I scoured this forum looking for answers--I found very little in terms of helpful information.
Someone enlighten me on the exact steps and the details of how they got this swapping concept to work.
At this point, I am seriously contemplating on using this nook as a mirror.
Help Please.
Can you give me some details as to how it is acting? And what version of the swap zip are you flashing? What are you expecting it to do? Don't be flashing the other versions for stock, it will just be messing it up.

Right now, after I ran the "NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-official-CM10.1-CM10.2-emmc-rev6-(090413), none of my apps work. None. It still boots regularly though.
My SD card was formatted into NTFS32 using SDFormatter with the full overwrite and etc.
I am expecting the internal SD and external SD's to be switched in file manager/ or on the computer.

I formatted my cards to FAT32 and it still doesn't work. Aft. I run the swap zip, I run the logs and the logs say that there already is a file in data/local... and below i get some error about vfat . I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

Delete all the files in /data/local/userinit.d and just flash my CM10.1 swap zip once and see what that does.

Does not matter. The zip is just placing that swap file in userinit.d and settings its permission correctly.

Don't pay any attention to what settings, storage says, that is broken with this swap. Just see if it works. That is when you look at /sdcard do you see the external SD?
Edit: I guess I should say that in my instructions. Many get worried about that when it does not show right in settings.

Were they working before you flashed the zip? Try rebooting again.
Edit: I bet that hung settings calculation was hanging the apps too.

I am having a similar problem. after i install the swap and have an sd card in my nook hd none of the apps start, except for settings which starts after a while if i reboot and remove the card everything works fine. it boots fine but everything else is unresponsive. im running cm 10.1.3. thank you for any help.
Hello fellas, so I followed one of Leapinlar's guides on how to install CM11 onto my Nook HD+ 16gb. Everything went great and my Nook has been performing flawlessly all this time. I happen so have two Nook HD+ devices, and now that I know how much better CyanogenMod is compared to the stock OS, I want to install CM11 on the second one as well. I still have the bootable 2GB SD card I used to install CM11 on the Nook (used same card to backup stock B&N OS). At this stage, I plan on using the Nook until it dies on me, gets broken, or stolen. I don't see why I would go back to the stock OS.
1. Could I use the same bootable SD card to install CM11 onto the second Nook? was the serial # or anything of that sort saved onto the SD card making it unique to the device or something?
2. I have already done a Full baseline backup of my Nook on a FAT32-formatted SD card that isn't bootable. Is this backup better than the original bootable backup SD I made originally? Why would I still need the original stock B&N OS backup?
I couldn't find any threads on the subject, so I'm kind of hesitant to try it myself. Don't want to brick the Nook. Maybe one of you has tried it. Well, Happy Holidays to all of you. Thanks for the great forum.

My understanding is that even bootable variants of CM11 still go to the Nook's internal storage to get device serial #, MAC address, etc. So, one bootable SD card should be portable between devices.
I originally created a bootable SDcard variant of CM11 and liked it so much, that I decided to install it internally. Before I did that, however, I did back up the entire device (in case I decide to sell it). I then (search for the thread) made a bootable SDcard with B&N's OS v2.20. That way, if there's ever a reason you want to go back to the B&N OS, you can.

Yes the same bootable SD can be used on multiple HD+ devices. But the backup files from the first device should be moved somewhere else since there is not room for two different backups on a 2GB card. And that first backup is unique to that device and should not be used on the second device, but the basic CWM is ok to use.
The original stock backup is useful if you want to go back to the way it was before installing CM. But it is not really necessary since you can flash the stock ROM from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature (item 6) to get back to original out of the box condition. This might be useful if you need to return the device to B&N under warranty. Having CM installed on it when you return it voids the warranty.

I'm sorry, one last question. Would it be accurate to say that I can drag and drop the original B&N backup file I have in my 2GB sd card to my computer, zip it, save it, delete it from the sd card, and then do the same process for the second Nook HD+? Zip, save, and delete the original backup. Would the sd card still be bootable to install CM if I were to play around with only the backup and nothing else? DeanGibson and you leapinlar have pretty much answered my question completely. At this point I just want to pick my brain, all of this was pretty interesting. I won't bother you guys with any more questions regarding this subject, so thank you very much for the help.

Yes you can copy the backup files to your PC and delete the originals, but there is no need to zip them since they are already compressed and it is best to leave them native since they need to retain their md5 sums. The card will still be bootable.
