Confused about SD card, partitions, running off SD card etc...

Hey guys. I'm a noob to the nook. Got mine yesterday and flashed nookie froyo 0.6.8. Flashed auto nooter 3.0 before that (not sure that was necessary, but I did it anyway - Was it necessary?)
I digress... I'm confused about the sd card and from what I've read in the forum, it's still not clear to me. So here are my questions and I apologize if they were answered elsewhere. If someone could link a post that might be helpful that would be great!
1. Which roms run off the external sd card?
2. Is it better to run off the external sd card?
3. I'm using an 8 gig class 10 card, but only 1.78 is accessible and and less than 500 mb of open space is left.
4. NookcolorUMS is confusing. I've tried mounting all partitions and cant access the extra space. And yes I did format it after flashing so it's allocated using FAT32.
Any help or direction to helpful posts would be really greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1. I think CM7, NookieFroyo, and the HC build have all been made to run off the SD.
2. I don't think so; it does give you the nice "sandbox" feel that you can't screw anything up though. It is MUCH faster to run off the internal memory; and with the multi boot ability in my opinion there really is no reason to run off an SD card.
3. I'd look at the card in some type of partition manager; there may be some partitions that can not be seen otherwise. Have you already flashed a rom to the card?
4. Not sure.

I flashed the image to the external sd card. It put the boot image after flashing on the card. I just reformatted the card and can now see it in the nook.
New questions.
1. Is there a way to create a nandroid back up?
2. How do I get to clockwork recovery without using the image on the sd card?
Maybe more questions later.
Thanks!

Multi-boot ability? I still have so much to learn. Is it basically a matter of rearranging the partitions on the internal storage? Would the best link be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959461
?
Can the primary partition continue to boot stock unrooted Nook ROM?

* Go to the parallel Development Forum to find threads on:
- Multi-boot (very simple to install)
and
- SD card booting versions of CM7, Honeycomb and Froyo
* Within the thread of each of those three, you will find instructions for adjusting things (installing missing capabilities, partitions, etc).
* Download Free Easeus Partition Manager (sp?) to extend 4th partition while looking at SD card in Windows, this will give Android's /sdcard folder the rest of your card. Then Download Free Notepad++ (linux file format text editor) to edit a file as described in those threads. See threads for more details.
* Download Free Win 32 Disk Imager to backup SD card in Windows ("read" backs up card, "write" burns an image to card, the latter is how you create bootable ROM on SD card).

[Q] Not bricked, but can't mount or boot from SD anymore

Ok, so I've been in the world of iPhone jailbreaking for awhile, but freely admit to being a Nookie newb. I was wanting a cheap tablet and after reading about what's available for the Nook Color, I decided to take the plunge.
All was great at frst, I made a CWM 3.2.0.1 bootable SD card on an old 1gb microSD I had laying around and loaded CM 7.1.0 RC1 and the recent June gapps and it all went fairly smoothly. I installed both CWM and CM7 to the internal memory, I then used another 4gb microSD as a data card to try things out a bit. It was awesome! I went out and purchased a 32gb class 10 card with the idea that I was now gonna get serious and load my data onto it. This was also recognized right away.
Now, I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but at some point the SD card disappeared on me. The last time I'm sure it worked is when I decided to load the #144 nightly build of CM7 when I was able to make a backup of RC1 onto the SD card before upgrading using ROM Manager
As of right now, my Nook can not mount or boot from any SD card. Not even CWM can mount them (let alone CM7). I've tried going back to the 4gb and even the 1gb bootable card, but nothing seems to work (multiple hard and soft resets into both CM and CWM). I've tried all three cards in my PC and they are all perfectly readable there, but almost no reaction from the Nook when I insert one. Occasionally (as in twice), with the 4gb card, the Nook has noticed that an SD was inserted, but it thought the card was not formatted and would not mount it. I haven't figured out how to reproduce even that reliably. Not sure what I did (if anthing) that allowed it to get that far.
Any ideas? I find it hard to believe that it could be the Nook itself that's broke, but I'm running out of ideas. My Nook is still running fine (otherwise) on CM7 nightly build #144, but without the ability to mount or boot from SD I'm stuck on this release since both ROM Manager and CWM need one to work. Not to mention that the internal storage isn't really enough to do anything with.
I'm a newb to Android and CM7, but I know Unix / Linux well. Does anyone know the device name for the sd card (e.g. /dev/hd???). Is there a way I can try and mount it manually (vold doesn't seem to be working)? Any logs I can check (syslog???) for possible clues as to why it's not mounting? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If your Linux experience is like mine, using Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator to poke around will be illuminating. It's all the same, but it's all different...
Did you try using Settings/Storage to erase a spare SD card? Be sure to get the SD card named SD card and not emmc (although it's pretty much unused by default, it's not what you're trying to test).
Flashing a nightly or the RC should blow away any nastiness that might have happened with vold's configuration files.
The device name for the SD card is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (direct) or /dev/block/vold/179:17 (mine mounts here with vold).
If you get Terminal Emulator installed, try:
% su
# mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard
or
# mount /dev/block/vold/179:17 /sdcard
and see what happens.
Good luck! You might just get an errno message like No such device or No such media, in which case I'm thinking hardware failure on the NC, since your cards work elsewhere.

Catch 22, can't flash a new nightly without a working SD card. ROM Manager saves to /sdcard and CWM loads it from there. I'm trying to pull some magic where I've swapped /sdcard and /emmc in vold.fstab. This has worked and re-enabled apps that need sdcard storage (and given ROM Manager a place to download ROMs). Next, I'm gonna symlink /sdcard to /emmc and hopefully CWM will be able to apply them from there. Wish me luck.
The device name for the SD card is /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (direct) or /dev/block/vold/179:17 (mine mounts here with vold).

Thanks, I'll see if I can mount that device to /emmc for testing purposes before making the plunge to reflash a new nightly.

Can you post the output of "mount" and an ls for /dev/block and /dev/block/vold? It'll help to see what it's supposed to look like.

I'm back up! I had to re-image my bootable 1gb SD from scratch. I was then able to boot from SD and flash back to RC1. I suspect that Windows somehow "licked" my bootable SD to make it not bootable anymore in the Nook. After re-imaging the SD and flashing to RC1, my 32gb card was usable again too, so now all is good.
Thanks for the assistance!

SD Card Slot Broken. Any way to update CM7?

The external SD slot on my Nook Color has broken and is no longer usable. I am currently running a nightly of CM7 and wanted to upgrade to 7.1. I can't install from SD card in CWM and can't use ROM Manager without the card either. Is there a way to update through ADB, or any way to partition part of the internal memory and make CWM act as if it is an external card?

That happened to me while still under warranty. The card wouldn't stay in. I was able to hold my bootable installation card with the stock ROM in long enough to revert to stock and send it back for a replacement. It was rather painful and tiring to keep holding it in place, but it worked. Perhaps that will work for you?

Good idea, thank you for the response. I may be able to do that but its possible it is completely dead. Is there any way over adb to restore to stock? I saw guides online but it looks like it uses dd to transfer from SD card to the internal partition. Maybe the image doesn't have to be on the SD card to use dd though?

Try the 8 failed boots to get back to stock... If you installed CWR on EMMC then you will need to download a dd image of mmcblk0p1 (the boot partition) and put on EMMC then use:
mkdir /tmp
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /tmp
dd if=/tmp/mmcblk0p1-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
and do 8 failed boots.

I was able to get it restored. Thank you DizzyDen for your response. I was able to do a very similar method and was able to push boot.img and system.img to the internal data partition. I then dd'ed to the proper internal partitions.

If your SDcard is not staying in, try wedging a piece of thick card stock paper in. My SDcard won't stay in and this actually worked!

[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.

How to make SD card CyanoBoot menu work?

I have Leapinlar's SD card image installed on a SD card that I used to then install the EMMC version onto my HD+ which is working great, thanks to Leapinlar and Verygreen for that. Since I don't want to misplace the SD card I've left it in my Nook, but then whenever I reboot it, it boots off of the SD card and goes into the CWM on the card. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to activate the Cyanoboot menu on the card so that I could choose to boot from the card, or the EMMC, and possibly change the default so that it boots to the EMMC instead. I realize that this might not be the right forum as it isn't necessarily a Nook question, so thanks for any help.
Edit: I should specify that I used the 4GB CWM SD card image in Leapinlar's thread, and is the one I'd like to modify. Thanks.

Ask and Ye shall receive.
Attached below is a .rar file that has four files in it. Extract those files to the boot partition of your CWM SD, replacing any duplicates. It will add the cyanoboot menu to it. It will by default boot to CWM, but if you want to boot to emmc (stock or CM10.1 on emmc), hold the n key and the cyanoboot menu will come up and you can choose stock. If you want it to boot to emmc by default, just change the Default Boot Device from "CM10/10.1" to "Stock". Then it will boot to emmc if you do nothing. Then you can boot to CWM by using the cyanoboot menu.

You rock, thanks!

but when i try to switch to the Stock BN rom living on the SD card it just says loading SD... but never continues to the BN boot animation.. or loads continues to login... it feels like a boot loop... do i have to have root access to get this to operate... i have 10.2 root but BN SD is not rooted... confused...
i would just like a boot menu to allow the option to boot to the BN SD card or default to native 10.2..

Right thread this time! So this is dual boot thread (sorry about earlier Leapin!).
Took me about five minutes to get where I'd made my mistakes though even after finding this and trying again. Now that I understand how this installs, and that stock must be in emmc, I just have one question....do I place CM 10.1 on the root of my SD card as a zipped, or unzipped, file for it to load from the menu? Or is there still more to do other than just "sticking the file on there?"
I know this much...every day I have greater & greater respect for xda developers. To be willing to explain things so even myself can understand it a little - and put up w questions - has to be a chore in and of itself. Thank you!

First you need to go to verygreen's SD thread and make the early 7.1 CWM card. The put the CM10.1 zip on internal memory using stock. Then boot with the CWM SD you just made and after it finishes preparing the SD, install the zip from internal memory. Then you can use the files in this thread to put the cyanoboot menu on that SD.

Ok, I seem to be / was good until I got to installing zip from internal memory. This is what has happened so far.
1. Created 7.1 CWM SD with win32 disc imager ...No probs
2. Not enough room on external card to place CM 10.1 zip file even though I started with 16 Gb....so I assumed you meant load CM 10.1 to Nook HD+ internal memory from my PC...no problem there.
3. This is where I got stuck: 7.1 card booted up just fine, but then I wasn't quite sure what next step was...found "install zip from internal SD" and tried that, but of course it sent the update - apparently - to emmc, as Cyanogenmod spinner logo now comes up after reboot.
So my question is how do I need to go about installing from internal memory once CWM 7.10 is running. Is there an adb command I'l need, or did I just choose wrong option?

You used the correct menu item.
If you used an sdcard version of the CM zip, it should have put it on the SD. You can tell by popping the SD out of the slot and booting. It should still boot to stock if you used the correct version. Then when you put the SD back in the slot it should boot to CM.
If you have it correct, then use the files in this thread to add the cyanoboot menu so you can boot back and forth without taking the card out.

Missing memory on SD CM10 boot
First post so I hope I'm putting this in the right place.
I have a Nook HD+ 32GB
I' ve started with Leapinlar's
[CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods
I've then used verygreen's
[Nook HD+] CM10.1 development for sdcard last update 09/04
All that seems to be fine but in CM10.1
Settings - storage reports internal memory 1GB and no SD memory or available mounts
x-plore reports /storage/emulated/0 and /Root as 850MB free of 1GB
Without the SD card - reverting to stock - I have 2.44GB used and 26.56GB available.
Is the 1GB apparently available on a partion on the SD card? I only had a 2GB SD going spare - this now has three partitions, the boot files and two others, one of 1GB. If I'd used a 32GB card would I have 31GB free?
But, more importantly, can anyone tell me how I get CM to give me my 32GB of internal storage back?
Please?
FWIW I expect to run CM10 from internal memory in the long run, but want to be sure that a couple of critical apps run OK before replacing the B&N stock.

I have a Nook HD+ 32GB
I' ve started with Leapinlar's
[CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods
I've then used verygreen's
[Nook HD+] CM10.1 development for sdcard last update 09/04
All that seems to be fine but in CM10.1
Settings - storage reports internal memory 1GB and no SD memory or available mounts
x-plore reports /storage/emulated/0 and /Root as 850MB free of 1GB
Without the SD card - reverting to stock - I have 2.44GB used and 26.56GB available.
Is the 1GB apparently available on a partion on the SD card? I only had a 2GB SD going spare - this now has three partitions, the boot files and two others, one of 1GB. If I'd used a 32GB card would I have 31GB free?
But, more importantly, can anyone tell me how I get CM to give me my 32GB of internal storage back?
Please?
FWIW I expect to run CM10 from internal memory in the long run, but want to be sure that a couple of critical apps run OK before replacing the B&N stock.

Everything is as it should be. You only have 1GB for 'sdcard' since you only used a 2GB SD. If you had used a 32GB, you would have close to 31GB for 'sdcard'.
And on an SD install, the internal memory is still there but not as 'sdcard'. It shows as a folder named 'emmc'.
Since you are planning on installing CM to internal memory, it will be even different yet. 'Sdcard' will be your internal memory and your external SD will be shown as ext_sdcard.
And do not pay too much attention to the settings/storage. People get very confused when reading that since it mixes apples and oranges. (Media storage and app storage).

Finally...it worked! Thanks leapinlar, for all your help!
I encountered the situation above and am wondering if, say, instead of the 2GB card I use a 16 GB...that gives me 16 GB of storage for the CM 1.0 tablet, and my regular flash storage also stays 16 GB? Or all the apps are by default stored on the emmc?

On the SD install, both media and apps get stored on the SD. If you use a 16GB SD to install CM to, it will have about 15GB available for media and app storage instead of 1GB on the 2GB card. But 2GB is really too small to be running CM. You will be running out of app and media storage very quickly.
Since you will be dual booting, when booted to stock the media and apps will be stored on internal memory. You will either have 13GB or 28GB available on stock on emmc depending on the size of the device (16 or 32GB model).

Updating SD version of CM 10.1
I know I've seen this elsewhere, but can't find it...if I go to update the rom on the SD card, it makes sense to me that I would need to load the latest SD version from verygreen's page...or can I just update from settings and not lose dual boot? Also, will a dirty install work so that the data is not lost? (backups are always good )
Man we're enjoying dual boot. My Acer a500 is unreliable so I backed the "build a city town park" up with Helium app. Long story short, with dual boot my kid and I get to continue building and enjoying our monsters in "Monsterama Park" by booting to CM 10.1and restoring data, yet I don't have to give up some of the reader features that I really like with the original Nook OS. Marvelous find....again, thanks y'all for the hard work!

Do not use settings to update an SD install. It will try to put the new ROM on internal replacing stock. Go get the latest SD ROM from the verygreen thread. You can dirty install it with the SD install's CWM.

So there is no way to switch the menu for stock on sdcard?

I'm a little confused. I've put verygreens stock on sdcard and have cm 10.2 on emmc. If the images are renamed can you boot with the menu into stock on sd or cm 10.2 from emmc? If not is there a second solution?

It does not work on that configuration and there is no solution.
