[Q] how to install dals .32 cm7 using verygreen's sd installer - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i m unable to install dal's .32 kernel cm7 beta 3.1 . i m using verygreen's size agnostics installer using 1.2 update. i wrote the the new image and copied the zip file to the boot partion. but whenever i try to boot with the above sd card .. im stuck at loading screen.....what am i doing wrong...plz help

I am getting this also trying to boot sd card. The OC thread mentions it is not working currently with CM7 stable or nightly. Figured this what is happening on mine.

i just used verygreens sd updater this morning and it worked fine with .32
All i had to do was
1. burn the generic.img to sd card
2. drop the .32 kernel linked to in the instructions on the boot partition
3. put sd card in nook and turned it on. It installed cm7, when it was done the screen turned off.I turned it on and cm7 booted fine.
4. I then turned on wireless and also installed google apps.
5. no issues thus far, but I did not attempt to do the oc kernel yet.
this was on a 16gb sandisk class 4 card.

You need to manualy update the kernel using adb; see DizzyDen's excellent instruction in post #2231 of

[Q] Help, I've stuffed my nook up

Hi,
My nook has been updated to 1.2 and i was also booting from sd using the BT - CM7 2gb image that i wrote to a 16gb class 6 sd, as this was suppose to be the work around to be able to boot cm7 from a 16gb sd. It was working fine, until i read that you could install phiremod on the sd card. I downloaded the phiremod update file and installed clockwork recovery on sd by replacing 3 file : boot file and 2 others. I managed to get into clockwork recovery and loaded the phiremod update file on the 4th partition and ran the update. once rebooted it just got stuck at ANDROID_ screen. So i then downloaded the latest stable cm7 update file and loaded it into 4th partition of the sd and installed it, hoping to fix my cm7 on the sd card. To my horror i then discovered that it has wiped my original Nook 1.2 software and installed cm7 on the Nook's internal memory EMMC. But when i boot now it from EMMC, it just gets stuck at the cynogen cm7 screen with the arrow going round forever. I have now reflashed my sd card and so i can boot from the sd card on bt cm7 2gb img and also replaced the boot file to get the clockwork recovery from sd. How do i go about restoring my Nook back to 1.2? and also how do i update my sd to the latest cm7 built. I hope i haven't wiped my nook's important files as i haven't backed up, i didn't think i needed to as i was booting from sd card.
Thanks, Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Noob here, need help overclocking, running CM7 off SD card

I read the Dalingrin's OC kernel thread, but its still not very clear how I go about installing kernel to overclock my NK.
Any help and tips are truly appreciated. Again I'm a complete NOOB.
I read the threads learned how to install CM7 using size-agnostic installer and installed Gapps successfully.
Now I'm stuck can't figure out how to install Dalingrin's OC kernel for SD card. I identified which version I need for my NK using SD card, but can't figure out what to do next.
HELP!!!!
If you're using verygreen's agnostic SD install for your CM7 SD, all you need to do to update to the OC kernel is drop the zip into the boot directory and boot into restore to install it, just like updating to a newer nightly.

Houston we have a problem, I keep trying to boot into recovery mode, but for some reason it's not working.
I have read several threads to figure out how to, but its not working.
I followed the Size Agnostic tip: holding power and N button simultaneously until Loading...comes up, letting go of power button, and unpressed power button again until loading comes up again, and then unpressed power button and unpressed N button when Loading...disappeared. COULD NOT GET ME INTO RECOVERY MODE, TRIED SEVERAL TIMES.
I tried selecting reboot from CM7 desktop and selected reboot into Recovery Mode. DID NOT WORK EITHER.
I tried other methods listed on the size agnostic forum, still a no go.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! I want to be able to OVERCLOCK MY NC.
I haven't followed up on verygreen's SD image in a while since switching to EMMC, but you might want to check if he added fattire's boot select menu which would indicate very clearly if you've successfully entered recovery.
The power + n can be tricky -- verygreen also fixed an issue recently where it would boot into a blank screen when attempting to boot into recovery after flashing a new nightly (or OC kernel). The booting into recovery from CM7 desktop does not work (stated by VG himself, unless he's fixed it in a recent update) for this SD install.

thanks rack11749 the cm7 install was great .
didnt use a nightly as I couldnt see one for the nook on the list .
I grabbed what I thought was the gapps . ie gapps-gb-20110307 and installed it on microsd , however it doesnt come up on the color nook on recovery boot ???
A link to the gapps would be greatly appreciated to confirm I have downloaded the correct one please
fixed
I formatted the sd card . Reburnt the image and copied and pasted the cm7 and gapps, rebooted the nook color and I have the android market very happy
I've had *REAL* good luck with the 107 nightly. The 7.03 stable was a bit weird for me in "reboot to recovery", and the 106 nightly didn't have root/super-user in the SD install - just FYIs.
I used verygreen's size-agnostic installer, made easily understandable via Quinxy's guide:

[Q] Update Problems cm7 on sd

Have been running cm7 7.03 for quite some time originally installed using verygreens method with sd card cm7 installer 1.2. Decided I wanted to update to cm7 7.2 so thought I would update verygreens installer to 1.3 before updating to new version of cm7. Put update-genimage-1.3.zip on boot of sd card booted to recovery installed file and it appeared to install correctly rebooted and now I am stuck on Loading ... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not install that zip that way. You have to unzip it to the .img file and burn to the SD with win32diskimager like you did the first time.

Thanks for the info. I was following instructions that indicated that I could put the update-genimage-1.3.zip on the boot portion of the sd and apply the update through cwm. I did not want to reimage my sd card as I have allot of information on it.

ok, don't know why it got stuck then. You used CWM recovery on emmc to flash it? The recovery script on SD would not install it properly.
Yes, that's correct. Now when I put the sd card in I just get stuck on screen that says loading and I have to take the card out to boot back into the nook software. I did make a backup of my emmc with cwm before I started this but I am unable to get into recovery at this time. I am not sure what my next steps should be. Start the process over with another sd card and then try and salvage the info on my original sd.

I just read the instructions in thread and you do not use CWM recovery on emmc to flash that file. You are supposed to use the verygreen recovery script that is on the SD. By using CWM on emmc, you flashed the new recovery files to emmc and replaced CWM. That's why you can't get back in it. I think you can recover by putting the update- zip back in the root partition of the SD and trying to boot to the SD recovery. Then when you have got your SD repaired and flashed 7.2, you can reinstall CWM to emmc with ROM Manager.

I can certainly try that but I am now confused on which update.zip file to put on the boot portion of the sd to hopefully fix my sd card. Thanks for your help.

the update-genimg1.3...zip. Be sure to boot to SD recovery and it should be ok.

Great thanks. Can you review for me how I make sure I boot to sd recovery. Really appreciate your help.

If you have one of the newer u-boot.bin files... you hit "n" when booting up and select SD card... Recovery... that will be verygreen's recovery mode.
If you still have the original u-boot.bin from genimage 1.2 (not very likely at all... since CM7 has had new u-boot.bin's for a while now) you would have to use the old timing method of power + n for about 5 seconds.
When I try holding the n key the screen comes back with Loading ... but never moves past that screen. Actually the nook will not boot at all when the sd card is in even if I do not hold down the n key it goes right to the Loading ... screen and just hangs there. If I shut it down and remove the card it boots into the nook operating system fine. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I have attached a file to the board. Download and unrar this file. There should be 4 files there. Take your SD card out and put in your PC. Copy these files to the boot partition, overwriting the files that are there. Take the update-geniimg1.3...zip out and put the update- ...7.2 ...zip in. Then put the card back in the nook. Boot and while booting hold the n key. A boot menu should come up. Choose SD and recovery and continue booting. It should install cm7.2 and you are done. When in CM7, use ROM Manager to reinstall CWM to emmc.
EDit: I added a second file. Unrar and add these two files to the boot partition too.
Edit 2: Files removed after user successfully repaired SD
Transferred the files and did the update everything is running great. Thank you so much for your help it is greatly appreciated.

Nook color boot loop

Specs:
Nook Color Tablet bought off of ebay with CM10 on the internal memory (that "didn't work") and ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1
2gb bootable CM10 card
What i've done:
wiped the 2gb CM10 sd card.
Flashed internal memory (via the youtube tutorial) and put cm10 nightly from 03132013 and gapps
Installed netflix and hulu plus
Installed a blank 8gb sd card for apps and storage
So here's the problem. Last weekend I was watching a tv series on netflix. Drained the battery completely. Plugged it up for about two hours to recharge. Apparently When I plugged it up it decided to boot. >at this point it should be noted that the properly formated 8gb sdcard was in it, and not the bootable recovery sd card that was at the house<. When it booted it went straight into the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 menu. When I got back from the run we were on I tried rebooting it. It came up with the cyanoboot universal bootloader main screen, screen flashed and it went straight into the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 menu again. I tried rebooting several times. Same thing.
So tonight I got online, did a search, didn't find the answers i was looking for and settled on installing [ROM][JB 4.1.2][04MAR13 v1.20] SCHIZOID all-in-one (CM10+AOKP M1+PA 2.55). I flashed the /system, /data and /cache. Installed the new rom. Used the nook button + power to power it down, removed the boot card, and rebooted. Can you guess what it did? (see above).
So now i'm stuck. I DO NOT want to use a sd card to boot my nook. I want the OS in the main memory. Suggestions?
it should be noted, as i left this out of my OP, that I had tried to reflash CM10 back onto it. after that didn't work I tried the other rom. I've now tried reflashing CM10 and NOTHING is working.

You are in a recovery bootloop. Look at my NC Tips thread linked in my signature. See item A8 and A12. I suspect given your symptoms, you need to flash the romsrestore.zip file. It is trying to boot to stock recovery and repair itself.

flashed [romrestore-CWMflashable.zip - ] rebooted. same thing. straight back to the clockworkmod recovery menu.
created the CWM-5.5.0.4 bootable sd card and tried it that way. all that did was change the CWM menu blue instead of orange.

so here's a new one for you. I was going through the three finger salute method and screwed it up. low and behold I actually got to the cyanogenmod circle screen. Think we might be good to go.

I suggest you flash my zip for putting stock recovery back on the system. Then boot and let it do what it had been trying to do, whatever that is. It could be trying to do the 8 failed boot reset.Then when it has finished, put a new rom on it.
Either that or put stock on it (A15) and it will put everything back to virgin. Then you can put your own rom on it.
