So I'm booting from a SD card into CM7 7.0.2 currently. I'm using a custom boot file so I can choose to hold down the home screen button if I want to boot into the stock 1.2 OS instead.
I only have this single 2gb SD card to use atm. What would be the proper process to update to the nightly 69 build from here? I need to make sure that when I update, my current SD card is in there and that's where the install is saved to. I had an issue prior where I booted with an alternate SD card (which I no longer have) and it installed to the eMMC. That wasn't fun as I had to do a complete restore.
Thanks!
I am booting from an SD card.
To update, I put the uSD card in the PC and then just copy the new build zip file to the uSD card.
Then I put the card in the Nook, press the N + power button and when I see the "Touch the Future of Reading", count to 4 and release the buttons. Don't count to slow. I noticed one time the TTFOR disappeared and it booted into the Nook software. I just shut it down and did it again.
The Nook will automatically see the new zip file, expand it and load the new build. Once done, it will delete the zip file from the uSD card.
I noticed the newer builds automatically reboot the unit but if yours doesn't, it will stop at "Flushing Cache" and sit there. Leave it alone until the screen goes dark (a couple of minutes) and then reboot it (N + power button). You should get the Android. and about a minute later the CM7 spinning logo.
You are updated. And you don't lose any apps or data either!
If you are overclocking, I would set it back to 800MHz before you do this as a precaution.
Finally, there is an easy way to add overclocking to a new build. You just need the overclock zip file, the new build and WinRAR 3.80. Let me know if you want that info.
Well that worked as you said, thanks! I did have one problem but I fixed it myself. As I mentioned, I have a modified boot file which loads the Nook OS if I hold the N button. So trying to get into recovery or have the CM7 noticed the .zip file by holding Power+N didn't work. Luckily I still had the original u-boot.bin file and was able to copy it back onto the SD card and then I was able to get the update installed.
As to the OC, I assume I'd just put it back on the same way I did with the original.
I've read your post, and a few others but I'm either not understanding (my money is on this one!!!!) or missing a step.
I'm running Nook Color Stock 1.2 on emmc and CM 7 on the SD card.
I've tried using ROM Manager as well as copying the latest nightly to the /boot partition of the SD card.
If I boot into recovery and update the zip from the SD, I always end up over-writing the emmc of the nook, losing stock and all my apps, instead of the CD card being updated.
What am I doing wrong?? Would like to upgrade to the latest nightly. But I don't want to screw up stock (hate having to restore and redownload all the apps every time).
Thanks
No matter what I do, I always end up over-writing the emmc instead of updated the SD card.

All you have to do is put the update zip on the boot part' of the sd card and boot up the sd install like normal and it'll see the zip and automatically flash it for you.

If you're booting CM7 off uSD, you can forget about the "ROM Manager".

You are probably using the install zip option. You do not do this. You just put the zip on the boot partition, boot into recovery and the reboot. DO NOT flash anything.

Let me try to clarify... when they are saying boot into recovery... they aren NOT meaning Clockwork Recovery... they mean using the boot menu (press "n" button when you see the Cyaonogen logo) and selectin boot from SD card and Recovery. That is the SASD rocovery (install) mode and will install the update zip file from the root of the boot partition.
Thanks for clarifying DizzyDen!!! That's the part that I was screwing up
Like I just screwed up the Stock again...but that's alright...live and learn
Updating the latest right now...then I'll be putting stock back on emmc
Thanks again for the clarification
Updating to the latest nightly on CM7 SD installation?
I'm a newbie so please have some patience. I'm trying to do the same thing, update my cm_encore_full-159.zip to cm_encore_full-177.zip. I boot from a microsd card to Android. When I install it I pushed a button during the early boot process and went to a menu. Changed "boot device" from "emmc" to "SD" and "Normal" to "Alternative". When I turn on the Nook Color after it installs, I do nothing and it boots to Android but if I put a button it goes to the menu where I push the volume down button 3 times and I boot to the stock Nook Color. So, if I copy the cm_encore_full-177.zip to my microsd card, go to the menu, change the "emmc" to "SD" and "Normal" to "Alternative, this should update my 159 to 177 without losing any apps, email, etc.? Thanks

1. in bold text above... select "Recovery" not Alternative...
2. you either move the SD to your computer to put the update on the boot partition of the SD or you have to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to a directory (I created /sdcard/boot for this) and push the update to the BOOT partition.
Nook Color How to Update to CM7 Nighthly
Good Day,
What a fantastic website! I am new to the forum. Could you please answer the questions or provide a link to the answers?
1. What utility and procedure would I follow to back up the stock Nook Color partitions in ROM to include the stock Nook Color apps I have installed?
2. What utility and procedure would I follow to back up the apps I have purchased from the Android Market place for CM7 running off the SD card?
3. I have update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip installed. I want to update to cm_encore_full-177.zip. Do I use win32image to "burn" the new nightly to the SD card? Or, do I drag and drop the new
nightly to the SD card? If yes, on which directory (folder) on the SD card do I place the new nightly build?
Thank you!
atl10spro
Try my best to help.
1. I don't deal with stock, so can't help here.
2. I never intend to run any backup when booting off uSD, can't help.
3. Assuming you're booting off uSD, then just copy the new .zip file (do not rename, do not unzip) into the boot partition (root folder) of the card. Insert it into the NC, boot it into Recovery. When it's in recovery mode, it'll fully automatically do the update then deletes the .zip file, you don't have to do anything, just wait until it shuts itself down then you power it up.
I am running the following - CM7 - nightly build 08022011 on SD - Dalingrin's OC kernel 2.6.32.9 @ 1200MHz NOOKcolor
I am trying to update to a newer nightly build. I have the file downloaded on the SD card but can't get it to update.
Where does the file have to go?
I tried to reboot into recovery mode and that didn't do anything.
Any help would be great.

Hi!
I have a problem a Nook of a friend which is stuck on Read Forever screen
I had install the rom of CM on it. and after I went to rom manager to make an update of the recovery i tried to reboot the device.
after of that the nook is stuck in this screen,
I tried to make a bootable SD recovery card but it does not boot from the SD either.
Any solution.
Is CM7 installed on the card or the internal memory?
sorry guys I had made a bad copy of my sd card recovey.
everything is ok now.
please Mods delete my thread if possible!
Thanks in advance!

Got a problem,
Step-son got a nook color from his grams, intended to put CM7 on it so he has some halfway decent tablet, so he can play his flash games on it.
- after setup of the Nook color, it downloaded version 1.4.1 of it's own B&N OS
- did the uNooter from an 8 GB SD card (according to these instructions http://wiki.cyanogen...ll_Update_Guide), worked almost like a charm, at reboot i got a popup reading "default action: Home OR [that special menu-loader from the uNooter on the SD card]. after tapping the special menu-loader i was able to go into ROM MANAGER, did FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY, 5 minutes later gave SUPER USER/ROOT permissions, reboot, worked fine.
- tried to put the CM 7.1 on said 8 GB SD card, noticing that the uNooter image only has a ~70 MB partition and the rest of the 8GB is unused, so the 100MB "update.zip" doesn't fit (obviously).
- DOWNLOADING Roms via ROM MANGER directly is obviously a no-go, because it has no premium license, and loading it from the 8GB SD-card isnt working because the partition was only ~70 MB small.
- ASSUMING that the uNooter is NEEDED EVERYTIME to get into that special menu-loader for the Color Nook, I selected in ROM MANGER the option PARTITION SD CARD, thinking it will lead me into a menu where i can make another partition, beside the uNooters, to dump the CM 7.1 update.zip to flash the Nook Color's Rom with CM 7.1
- next thing I know, it reboots, and its stuck at the "Read Forever"-boot screen.
I PRESUME that ROM MANAGER's "partition SD card" screwed with the internal/virtual 'SD-card partition' and not my actual microSD chip loaded into the Nook Color's microSD-slot.
Is there a way to restore the device and/or load CM 7.1 on it, and if so, how; or am i ****ed ?
cheers

PS: is there a way to force-reboot the Nook Color? like as it's on phones often the case, by force-crashing it by holding down a combo of keys ? if so, which ones?
Atlana, same question answered here, as well as over on CM forum.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20677328#post20677328
Hold power button for 20 seconds or so to force power off. Do it twice until you see it start to boot.
I use the SD card method to have the nook boot into CM7 and when the SD card is pulled, the nook would be stock to be used by my kids. But I think I messed things up and can't restore. Here is what I have done:
1- I tried to update the stock version to 1.3 manually from B&N website but soon realized I could not. It seems like when in CM7, I had tried to flash CWM recovery (which was not needed and is pretty buggy in SD card method for nook). Now the recovery in emmc appears to be CWM.
2-for some stupid reason when I got into CMM recovery, I formatted boot, system,data and cache (not sure if I did boot also or not). My thinking was to flash a stock image and be fixed. But I am now stuck.
Is there a way to go back to stock on the nook? I am still able to boot into SD card and CM7 nightly. Oh ya, I use Linux Ubuntu not windows. TIA
Sounds like you should get the system back to stock before proceeding any further.
Follow the instruction here: http://www.nookdevs.com/NookColor_UnRooting
The problem is that I get into the CWM recovery and not given the reset option following the options on that page. Any idea?
I think my problem is that I'm not really rooted in true sense since I was running off the SD card. Maybe I shoudl root properly, then unroot?
I did kind of the same thing once. I made an Sd card image with CWM on another sd card -- basically as if you are going to install CM7 to emmc. However, once you get to the point where you would flash Cm7, use the stock zip ROM. It will install that to emmc so it will be back to normal. You should then be good to go.

If you follow the instructions you should be left with an unrooted initialized stock Nook Color. Register your account. Then you can wait for the NC to download the 1.3 update, or side load it. Once that is installed you have an unrooted 1.3 stock system.
From there you can try your CM7 card. Don't forget to remove your SD card at the very beginning since like a PC the NC will try to boot off the SD card if it is present.

when I follow the instruction, I am not given the factory reset option. I am stuck at the n screen. It flashed the read forever but then stuck at the n screen. Do I have to wait longer than 5 minutes?
None of this is mine, I owe it ALL to the threads mentioned below.
So as in many posts on XDA say, it's almost impossible to brick the Nook. What a great device. I had to format my SD card to use it to "un-brick" my nook but it was done. I Mainly used the info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Burnt a bootable CWM image onto my SD card. It took a while doing it with dd in Linux. I'm sure it's the same in Windows or Mac. It took about 20-30 minutes. It also took a while to unzip/extract the img file from the downloaded file. Be patient
Then used the CWM recovery remover file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 to remove my CWM recovery and used the 1.0.1 file from same thread to flash the stock image onto the nook.
Once the SD card is ready, just drop those files in the root of the sd card. It should have 4 other files in it to boot into CWM recovery from the sd card and let you use the menus to flash those two zip files. It took a while but it's all in those threads. Thanks to the members. Now lets see if I can go up to 1.3 and then root it again.

My HD+ would not boot with a 4gb card or a 2gb card, I tried it at least 10 times apiece, however I did get it to boot with a SanDisk TransFlash 256 MB with just the boot image files and CWM.
It boots to the 256MB card first try everytime. So as soon as CWM loads I swapped the 256 for the 2gb and did a stock backup, rooted and installed CM.

I am tempted to dispute this. I had a brand-new HD+ with stock firmware v2.0.4 which consistently (and always at first attempt) booted from sd card (Kingston 4GB, cl 4).
After upgrading to stock firmware v2.1.1, but with no other changes, it wouldn't boot once in 50+ attempts. The sd card was unchanged, the HD+ hardware was the same, so this behaviour would seem to point to the firmware change as the culprit, doesn't it?

It does, but booting is controlled by the hardware chip firmware. There is no way for b&n to change that remotely.
A way to test your theory is to do an 8 failed boot with stock recovery installed and go back to 2.0.4. Then see if your booting trouble goes away.
Edit: If that is really the case, the solution is to revert to 2.0.4 and immediately upgrade to CM. Then it should boot SDs ok.

My HD+, which originally came with 2.0.4 and got immediately auto-updated to 2.1.0 and then later to 2.1.1, (luckily) has not had any problem booting off SD.
The boot-device selection process is controlled by the hardware configuration and bootstrap code in ROM (this is the device's real ROM, as opposed to the Android OS software that is commonly but incorrectly referred to as "ROM"); see http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project for an overview of the boot process, and more gory details can be found in http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swpu270s/swpu270s.pdf.
Have you re-checked "bootability" of the boot partition of your SD card, or tried a freshly burned SD boot image? I have had a few instances of Recovery or ROM SD cards rendered un-bootable after the stock ROM created files/folders on them.

As I wrote in my first post, the sd card (which booted properly with v2.0.4) was unchanged. I deleted all stuff the HD+ had put on it (a bunch of empty directories, if I recall correctly) and it had only the 5 CWM boot files and 2 zips I wanted to install. To the best of my knowledge the sd card was unchanged.
Never mind, it's probably one of those things...

As he said earlier though, the fact that 2.1.1 wrote to it at all may have done something to the SD.

After reading a lots of thread here, it looks like that during the format of SD card, it somehow destroyed the proper partitions of the emmc. But unlike others mentioned in different Bricked Nook HD thread, I am able to access each components of emmc when booted from CWM Bootable card, able to mount internal storage etc.
So, is there a solution to restore the emmc partitioning properly? I tried to connect it to PC for connecting it through adb but didn't have the proper usb driver for it. The driver I got, needs the hardware id of the product to modify the inf file which sadly I can't access in the device.
I also tried to restore it to stock 2.2 rom from the CWM backup created earlier before installing CM10.1.3. It got restored but didn't solve the problem, it still getting stuck into Black screen with Nook written to it, the one comes before CM logo.

I have also tried to install the CM10.2 SD card version with CWM 6.027 Bootable SD card. I was able to push the Zip files to the SD card using QtADB tool by mounting the SD card in the CWM menu, installed the CM rom to SD card and then installed the Gapps for JB 4.3. Still unable to boot into CM, it is going to CWM in every restart. Used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364 for installation.

You are using some strange and outdated tools. That AParted probably really messed up you internal memory.
That guide is an old one for putting CM10 on an SD install. And you do not install the SD version of CM10.2 with that 6027 bootable CWM SD. Pick a newer guide and start again.

Actually I realised that and used the new guide for for installation of latest CM10.2 build by using the latest guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36421852#post36421852. But whenever I am trying to boot into CM10.2, it is getting booted into CWM recovery.
I have checked in another thread where you had made a ZIP file to fix the internal storage structure, is it possible for my case.? Should I use this guide: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/
I have used the method in http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/ and installed 10.2. But during restart, it is showing the message that /Bootdata/BCB missing and probably that is the reason, it is always rebooting into recovery mode. I have checked in one thread where you have made a flashable Zip file to restore the system partitions. Can it be done for my case?
Waiting for your answer.

Will that fix the emmc partitions in HD+? Initially I have installed CM10.1.3 by using this method and after the issue occurred, I tried to install the Carbon 4.3 ROM through CWM recovery after performing FActory reset, cache cleaning and Dalvik Cache cleanup. But that didn't solve the issue. I have even tried to restore the stock Nook 2.2 firmware from the CWM recovery which I created earlier before installing the CM10.3. But the issue didn't get resolved.

If you used the CWM from that thread and flashed the plain stock 2.2.0, it should have fixed it.

I have tried the following steps:-
Downloaded the TWRP emmc 2.6 Bootfiles, copied them to a 64GB Class 10 sd card by formatting it to FAT32, setting it to active and then copied the Files (MLO file 1st) into it.
Also copied Nook stock 2.2 zip in the sd card.
With the card installed, Nook HD+ booted into TWRP recovery.
Performed a factory reset and wipe data.
Installed the stock rom.
After that, I checked the Bootfile partition and it was having the BCB file.
I am also able to access 27GB Emmc and copied all the zip files to Internal store using TWRP file manager.
Now I took out the SD card and tried to boot the Tab but it was again stuck into 1st Boot screen with Nook logo.
When I inserted the card 2nd time and checked the Boot Data partition using the TWRP's integrated file manager, there was nothing inside of the /BootData folder.
Is there a way to build the /Bootfiles/BCB for Nook HD plus?

it will do no good to build that file since you already had it and the boot to emmc wiped it out. TWRP puts it back when it exits, but your normal boot seems to remove it.

Please suggest me a solution for it. I read here that there is a special type of SD installation possible with no access to the emmc and the OS will threat the SD card like it treats the emmc. Could you link me to a proper guide to do that?
Also, in my case, what might be the main problem of deletion of the Bootdata partition during emmc boot? Is there any possible solution for it?
Also, if possible, provide me the Zip file for the fix, just wanted to try it out as nothing is working till now.
Anybody? please let me know how to fix the emmc partitions. I still has hope as I am completely able to access my EMMC via SD card boot.While using TWRP recovery, I can even copy files from my SD card to internal memory of the device. Also able to flash Roms too.
So please provide me a flashable Zip file which can reconstruct the EMMC file structure for proper boot.

I'm also in need of the same thing. I believe SD card manager or some such program fubared my partitions so now my Nook HD+ just hangs at the nook logo when booting from EMMC. I can boot off SD just fine though.

I was also in a similar situation in that I was stuck at the nook screen and not able to go beyond. I thought it was due to a discharged battery and leaving the Nook in my car in -20 F weather. However, I was not able to enter recovery. I found a thread by Verygreen detailing an SD card only installation for bad emmc units. I dd'd the image to the sd card and booted to cwm on the card. Then shut down, pulled the sd card and copied the rom to the card. Rebooted and the install went through correctly. I now have a working Nook HD+ although I don't have emmc access. But at least it works now. I found the thread in one of the other "Stuck on Nook screen" threads. Hope this helps you.
