How to make a bootable SD card running CyanogenMod for the Nook Color.
Today I will describe the steps needed to install CyanogenMod on a bootable SD card for use on the Nook Color. The point of making a bootable SD card is that it preserves the stock install of the Nook Color (and your warranty). In plain English this means you will still be able to continue to purchase & share books, magazines, and apps from B&N, then when you want to use the Nook Color as an Android tablet you may pop-in the SD Card that has a bootable CyanogenMod 7 image. This gives you the ability to purchase Android Market apps, use Gingerbread (Android 2.3), and lets you take advantage of the working bluetooth chip hidden from users and disabled on the hobbled flavour of Android installed by default on the Nook Color. I read many sources of information and grateful for the information learned from members of these incredible communities: CyanogenMod Wiki, XDAdevelopers, and NookDevs. The install method I formulated is an amalgamation from information found on the Nookdevs and XDAdevelopers pages and forums. Some prerequisites before you begin first you will need a suitable micro SD card, I am using a PNY 8GB Class 4 micro SD card for my image, 2GB is too small and 4GB cards arent worth the bother. But according to this table you may wish to purchase a cheap Sandisk Class 2 8GB card for best performance. Another hardware requirement is a way to write data to the micro SD card if your computer does not have a slot, the solution is a USB to micro SD adapter. Although I used an adapter that came bundled with another card I had purchased in the past, this and this were found on Amazon within minutes, these adapters are available at virtually all shops that carry micro SD cards, or usually bundled with a card as mine was. Cost is usually very cheap, especially if purchased online. Upon procuring the necessary hardware, you will also need to download this short list of files: CyanogenMod v7.0.3 encore (stable) found via this page. Version 1.3 of the size agnostic CM7 SD card installer found via this page. Google Apps for CM7 found via this page. If using MS Windows you may need two more extra applications Mac users need not be concerned with. The first is WinImage, and the second is 7-zip. After the three files have been downloaded, place all of them in the same folder. If using Mac OS X, place the files in a new folder named cm7 in your home folder, and if using windows place the files in a folder with the path of C:\cm7. Next, the file named generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz needs extracted. Mac users open the Terminal.app and type the following commands in the window:

http://glasskeys.com/2011/06/27/how-to-make-a-bootable-sd-card-runn...

$ cd ~/cm7 $ gzip -d generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz

Windows users can extract using the 7-Zip application. Now insert the card into the adapter and plug into a USB port and type this command into your open terminal window: $ diskutil list This is the result of the command ran on my terminal:

The diskutil list command is used to find the disk number of the sd card, the number is used to instruct the disk dump (dd) command to write a bootable partition table. Based on the information listed, I determined that the /dev/disk3 entry on my machine matched everything I know about the sd card: the size (8GB), partition type (DOS fat 32 partition), and mount point, (I mounted this disk last). A good way to verify this is to run the diskutil list command immediately

http://glasskeys.com/2011/06/27/how-to-make-a-bootable-sd-card-runn...

before and after inserting the sd card, comparing the tables to find the new entry that will be the number of the micro SD card. It is vital to know the correct disk number, because this information is used to write a new partition table on the card, effectively formatting it, so please double-check to ensure you use the right /dev/disk mount point number or the wrong disc will be formatted. Run the following terminal commands on your Mac after you find the mount point, replacing /dev/disk# with the proper mount number: $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk# $ dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.3.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m A screenshot of the commands in action on my system:

Windows volk need to use the WinImage program to write the generic-sdcard-v1.3.img image file to the appropriate micro SD card drive mounted on their system. After the image has been written to your SD card, copy the update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip to the micro sd card (NOTE: if you do not desire access to Google Market & Apps, neglect to copy the gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip file). Do not unzip or extract them, simply copy the zip files to the root folder (no subfolder) of the micro SD card drive most likely named boot. Although the following screenshots are of a Finder window on a Mac, the same exact principle applies to windows users using Windows Explorer. Copying the two files:

Pasting the two files:

Now you may eject the sdcard, ensuring that your Nook Color is powered completely off and insert the card in the corner slot of your Nook Color, turn on and begin to finalise installation of CyanogenMod 7. This is the initial boot screen with a picture of the famous linux penguin that powers Android:

You may think that the system is hung at the Flushing caches step, this delay is normal on the first boot, shortly afterword the CM7 install will be finished and the system will power down. Turn your Nook Color

1. This was a fantastic step by step guide! My only questions are should I keep installing the nightly updates and how do you see all the apps that are running in cyanogenmod 7? thanks a lot.

By: Syed on 07/01/2011 at 8:22 am Reply 2. Syed, If you tap the middle button on the small toolbar at right, that will display all of the apps you can run. To see all of the apps currently running, you use the real buttons: button and -. When you pop out the sim card, the button and + buttons are used to take screenshots on a normal Nook.

Kind regards, Stephen

By: glasskeys on 07/01/2011 at 8:41 pm Reply 3. Thanks for the great howto. This was definitely the easiest setup Ive seen. Im up and running 7.0.3 and it looks great! The only problem Im having is that I dont seem to be able to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery mode. When I ask to update to a new ROM, it says its going to reboot into recovery mode to complete the update, but then it just boots back into CM7 normally without going into recovery mode. Any idea what I need to do at this point?

By: Scott Stanton on 07/05/2011 at 1:49 am Reply 4. Scott, I think this post answers the question direct and succinct, it can be *tricky* on the NC to do this (I am thinking of the Option 2 portion of the post when I say this): Check it out: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04/30/how-to-get-in-to-clockworkmod-recovery-mode-onyour-nook-color/ Cheers, Stephen

By: glasskeys on 07/05/2011 at 2:22 am Reply 5. So, I tried this, and Ive actually looked at a couple of different tutorials; but with this one, the OS wont even install. It simply says that there isnt enough space in the boot partition. I am using a Scan Disc 4 GB class 4 Micro SD. I understand that it ought to work on a 4GB card and I want to see it work before I drop $30 on an 8 or 16 GB card I dont need. There is another tutorial in which it will install and load to the boot menu. But then it just sits there (Ive waited at least 12 min. before). Any thoughts?

Ghinao, Try a couple of things: 1) Redo, but change the parameter bs=1m to bs=2m 2) Try without the Google install to determine if it is a free space issue. 3) Lastly if above options do not work try another SD card, some cards are a bit wonky. Cheers, Stephen

By: Ghinao on 07/05/2011 at 9:53 pm Reply Ghinao, When you redo the steps & get to these lines: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk# dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.3.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m Try this instead: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk# dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.3.img of=/dev/disk# bs=2m disk# being of course the appropriate number found with diskutil list command. Hope this helps, Stephen

7. Can I overclock the processor when running the CM7 via a bootable microsd card? If possible, it would make this tablet that much more formidable. Regards, Syed.

By: Syed on 07/09/2011 at 10:47 am Reply It appears that the Dalingren kernel supports overclocking: It is supported in three main flavours: 1.1 GHz, 1.2 ghz, & normal 800mhz. Then there is a experimental low-voltage version of the 1.1 GHz kernel.

By: glasskeys on 07/10/2011 at 2:15 am Reply 8. Thanks for this, followed it step-by-step and booted my Nook Color with an SD card, leaving my Nook intact. Was really impressed with the speed of the card based OS. Thanks for this and thanks to all the folks who worked hard to make it available.

By: glasskeys on 07/10/2011 at 2:17 am Reply 9. I am having a terrible time despite following the simple instructions. What happens is that the initial boot from the sdcard fails in the install process. It goes into a screen with linux penguin on top, it adds a partition to the sdcard, it tells me about ~450 files its extracting from the zip. But when it tries to access the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, which seems to do the next step of linking and permissions and setting up the boot to run CM7 etc, it declares that the file cant be found. Then it helpfully deletes the zip file.

So the next reboot from the sdcard, it tries to do the first step of grabbing the CM7 files from the zip file again, but the initial zip file is gone. The file exists in the zip archive. Ive tried a bunch of stable and nightly builds. Same result no matter what. Im stumped. Any clues? (yeah, I know this isnt your problem, but Im grasping at straws. My 10 year old is very keen to get her nook/android running)

By: Mark on 07/10/2011 at 4:13 pm Reply Mark, Good one or should I say bad one, you have me stumped. Usually when odd things like this happen, I try from square one eliminating issues. Try either the whole process dd formatting, with recopy of image, etc. If that doesnt work, try a different card. What size are you using incidentally? One reader had probs with a 4 gig card. Cheers, Stephen

By: glasskeys on 07/10/2011 at 6:54 pm Reply This sounds very much like a dead sector on the media. Ive had similar issues with USB memory sticks that had been overused, and of course, on hard drives. Using mac osx, double click the image to mount it (well pretent its at /dev/disk4, and the card is at /dev/disk3 still). Then at the command line $ cmp /dev/disk4/foo.zip /dev/disk3/foo.zip If cmp finds differences, your cards probably got bad memory.

Found the answer and I think it should be added for newbies like me. Thanks for a great write-up. # For Windows users: * Run WinImage.exe (Right click, Run as Administrator) * Select Disk from the menu and select Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image. * Select your SDCard from the list and click OK. * In the Open dialog box select All Files in the lower right file type box, browse to nookhoney.img, select, and click Open.

By: ShareTheWeb on 08/16/2011 at 12:24 pm Reply SharetheWeb, Thank you for the kind sentiments, if you want to help the tablet community with a donation, I would suggest donating on the XDA Developers site. Often times, money is needed for tablet tear-downs when a new device arrives on the scene, these tear-downs give the CyanogenMod and other dev groups info on chipsets, hardware capabilities, and other technical info required to take full advantage of hardware and/or helps to figure out an approach to get Android on a hobbled device. The Nook Color is a perfect example of this situation. Cheers, Stephen

This has happened to me in the past, and the first time was my fault: I removed the SD card without a full power off. The second time I tried rebooting, etc didnt work. In desperation I tried the following and it happened to work but keep in mind this is more voodoo in my opinion than anything. 1) Full power off. 2) Remove SD card image. 3) Power on this will boot the Stock Nook. 4) After the Nook comes up, once again a full power off. 5) Reinsert bootable SD card and power on again. This happened to work although I know of no logical reason *why* it did. Like I said voodoo. Let me know if this works, in the meantime I will do a bit of investigation and see if someone else has experience/solution to this odd situation. Cheers, Stephen

I am running Lion and when i tried to use the terminal window to extract the file it said command not found. I dont know how to find the file to give it the right path through the terminal window. thanks

By: scott on 09/09/2011 at 2:43 pm Reply 25. Scott, Which command could it not find? I ran the following commands on my system. The lines below the $ commands were returned by the OS. $ which diskutil /usr/sbin/diskutil $ which dd /bin/dd Run both commands in terminal, if bash does not return a result under the command you type that means it could not be found and is missing. On the other hand if you do see results you may just need to ensure the folders are in your path (should be already). in your .bash_profile you would add a line like this. export PATH=/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH But only do this if you need to. In my opinion though, I think this is something the Lion install bolluxed up.

I see the word error a lot when its installing and when I turn the NC on I either get stuck on the looping CM7 logo or I get a black screen with a green dash on the corner. Can you help, please?

I purchased a preloaded 8GB card, and it worked fine the first time before beginning the looping problem. I followed your directions and I am having the same problem now. Thanks Brian

By: glasskeys on 10/14/2011 at 4:55 pm Reply 32. Hi, I followed the instructions for windows and when I tried to copy over the image, my computer requested me to format my SD card. I did this and shortly after I copied over the image and the update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip. When I put the SD card into my Nook colour, I got the linux screen, but it shows a message at the bottom of the page; Error! Unexpected lack of boot partition on the SD card. The next line says Please report and the one after says Power off when ready. Im using a Sandisk 16GB class 4 card. The line before this error message shows Detected standard B&N nook layout, emmc first. Ive deleted the files and reformatted the SD card twice already but havent been able to get it to work. The error message remains the same and it wont go beyond this point.

While it was booting, I finished the reading the comments, when i looked back, expecting the google signup, and it was booting the Nook software. Nothng seems to make it boot from the card, which Windoze recognizes as a boot disk with unzipped files. I used CM7.1, so I will try again with 7.03. I also noticed (in my wasted haste to get ahead) that there was a file overwrite of google apps and cm7 when I unzipped them on my laptop.

By: Anonymous on 10/19/2011 at 12:50 am Reply 37. I have repeated this a few times and its just not working for me :(. Im using a PNY 16GB Class 4 micro SD card to try this out. I also tried it out on a SanDisk SD that I had laying around (because it was in my phone), but I think the issue was its size (the SanDisk is only 1GB). Could it be because Im on Lion? Slightly different things happen in my Terminal Window to what it says in the instructions. I dont know. Thats about the only thing I can think of at this point. I originally found this tutorial after finding one on a forum that uses Windows for the process. In that forum, they suggested that folks use a MD5 calculator to make sure that the files were not corrupted after download. I did that. Ive tried using update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip like you did. Ive also tried using the newer file types (the 7.1.0 and the 20110828) and neither combination have worked :(. I cant think of what else to try now. Any thoughts?

By: Sophia on 10/20/2011 at 9:40 am Reply 38. I FINALLY got it to work. Basically, I needed to get a new card I read places that 16GB cards can cause problems with this process, so I got an 8GB card and tried it on that instead and it worked just fine :). I just wanted to come in and update instead anyone is having the same problem I was having. Follow the same exact step, just use an 8GB card instead of a 16GB. It worked without any problems at all.

39. UGH. I cant do it. I have a headache from trying. I wish I would have just bought the N2A card like I have read to. I tried doing what you said above. But I have no clue what is wrong. I dont see how to copy to the boot file of the SD card besdies just copy and paste method or drag and drop. Then I dont extract the 2 other files ever? I have all these files on my SD card but yet my nook color powers on to regular os as usual without any change. I just copy this over I used win image and sent over but that didnt help me. I think Im totally clueless here.

By: Laura on 10/22/2011 at 8:50 pm Reply Hi Laura, I fear that a 4GB disk might be too small for this. Try a 8GB instead, if you can get your hands on one. And again, be weary of a 16GB because those can have issues.

By: Sophia on 10/22/2011 at 8:55 pm Reply 40. Hey Anonymous, what you have to do is burn the vi.3 file onto the card not simply move it over. The step where Stephen runs these two operations: $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk# $ dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.3.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m is what youre burning the file onto the disk with. So, basically make sure that 1) you extract the file first and 2) you make sure that the correct disk number is being used (i.e. when you replace the 3 symbols in the above code). Type carefully. or just copy and paste the above code (which is what I did). Also, make absolutely sure that the nook is off before trying to install all of these files. Do that by turning it on, then holding the power button and waiting for it to ask you if you are sure that you want to power it off. I hope that helps :).

boot package, I still havent tried cm7.1 without google apps or cm7.03 with google apps to see if its the overwrite issue or a me issue or a hardware issue. My understanding is that 4gb is enough to test it out but it wont leave much room for anything else, but I havent gotten all the way through setup yet, so its worth what you paid for the info..

By: Mack on 10/27/2011 at 11:25 am Reply I would imagine that 4GB would not be enough not merely because it does not give you a lot of room for anything else but more (or also) because those zip files get decompressed during this process and everything would simply run more smoothly on a little more space is all. As for the imaging, I understand it to be basically the difference between copying the file ONTO the SD Card and creating a card that IS the files (if that makes any sense).

By: pathfndr on 11/18/2011 at 10:25 am Reply 44. Stephen, Thanks for a great post. Process worked fine. I was tempted to try 7.1, but I just installed 7.0.3. to start until I see how your weekend goes. I am finding a number of apps in the Market say Your device is not compatible with this item. Do you have any types to avoid this issue? There are several apps I want to use that I cant download via market. I worked around one by using a beta and side loading, but Id really like to figure out how to use the Market directly with this install. Maybe 7.1 will have less compatibility issues?

45. Okay, I have a question.. I got CM7 installed and loaded.. it goes to the CM7 home screen, underneath it says Loading, then it just goes to a black backlit screen. Thats it. Ive tried rebooting.. not working any ideas?

By: Amber Cates on 10/30/2011 at 3:51 pm Reply Also, my microSD is an 8GB Sandisk and, for some reason, when I write the image to the SD card, it creates two partitions on my SD card. One is about 130 MB (where everything is being saved), and the other is unallocated and inaccessible at about 7.2ish GB. After I write the image, I use EASEUS Partition Master to basically merge the two partitions and then copy the Android OS over.. Ive been using the size agnostic SD image because I cant find one thats specific for an 8GB.

By: Amber Cates on 10/30/2011 at 8:50 pm Reply Hi Amber, Its normal that the writing process does that. There is no need to then go in there and adjust the allocations because, once everything is set up, the Nook will read the remainder of the 8GB on the Micro SD just fine :). Perhaps the EASEUS step is whats throwing things off slightly? The fact that you get to the CM7 screen shows that youre following the steps just fine. Im not sure of the Class of it, but Im also running things from an 8GB Micro SD so you should be just fine with the card itself. Thats why I think its something to do with the process. Try reformatting everything and starting from the beginning and seeing if that works out (it should). :)

By: Sophia on 11/01/2011 at 11:14 pm Reply 46. Thats what was happening to me when I tried to load everything onto a 1GB Micro SD card. I think that may be a space issue. It MIGHT be having a problem with trying to decompress the other files (Or, at least, thats the impression I got with it) and that then makes the process hangs near the end of the install.

not appear to be zipped anyway. At some point I got it to write to the disk anyway, and then when I inserted it in my Nook, it tried but said the initial install files could not be found. It told me to get them at nook.linuxhackers.ru, which Safari could not find. Any ideas? Thanks!

By: Connie on 10/30/2011 at 11:45 pm Reply Hey Connie, I was previously getting that linuxhackers.ru message too at one point. I have no idea why that kept coming up. In the end, what I did was reformatted the card and kept trying again and it went away so thats part of how I knew that actually, I was doing the steps correctly overall. Finally, I tried a new card and things worked out for me. Is that card an 8GB, by the way? Also, so you know, it is possible (and probably easiest) to use the Nook itself to reformat the card if you want to start over from scratch. Now about the unzipping. I forget which browser (I think its Safari), but when you initially download the files, the browser AUTOMATICALLY unzips it a feature that I guess is SUPPOSED to be for convenience. I am assuming you are on a Mac because that was happening to me on a Mac and it doesnt seem like a Windows habit. So, what I would suggest is using a different browser for the download. If Safari IS the browser thats doing it, then I can safely say that FireFox is safe (and vice versa). I use three browsers on Mac and Chrome is one that I am absolutely sure keeps things in tact (figured Id mention that too). I hope all of that helps :)

By: Sophia on 10/31/2011 at 11:07 am Reply Thank you Sophia! I used Chrome to download them and that worked wonderfully! Everything went great until I tried to turn the Nook back on it wont turn back on! I take the SD card out and it works fine with the stock OS.

By: Anonymous on 10/31/2011 at 9:46 pm Reply Im glad the Chrome suggestion helped. What I now suggest is this reformat the 8GB and try again following the steps above.

Make sure your Micro SD card is plugged into your Mac. Next, hit Command + Space and type to search for the Disk Utility application. When that comes up, the Micro SD drive will show up on the left side of the screen select it (the top-most/main option). On the right side of the screen, youll see First Aid | Erase | Partition | Choose Erase. For the Volume Format option, choose MS-DOS (FAT). As for the name, that wont matter because the process will change its name anyway (after the Penguin scroll part). Then click Erase at the bottom. Doing that will format the Micro SD card. After that, follow the steps above. Now here is a word of caution. When you are writing the 3.1 image onto the card (that section after typing $ dd if=generic-sdcard-v1.3.img of=/dev/disk# bs=1m into the Terminal, make sure you wait for the write to finish. You will know when it is finished because the screenshot that Stephen posted will come up. That seems a simple thing, but after having done it a few times, there MAY be the urge to speed through the process at this point and it is possible to lose site of the minor things to wait for. Ive made that mistake one time (just going ahead after a minute or so, then later realizing that actually it had not finished before I ejected it). So thats why I caution you :)

in theory, yes, because theyre both grounded in Android. But, the way I understand things, the only way to be able to get close to being able to do something like that would be to somehow lay the Nooks custom OSs files over Android somehow. Thats (again) PROBABLY possible, but probably too tedious of a task to be worth it in the end. I mean, when the alternative is merely taking the MicroSD card out, Im sure that is not an area of an already small area that folks are working on tinkering around with to find solutions to problems like that one. Just my two cents :).

Id also add that the nookcolor has an SDHC controller and will display attached SD cards as separate disk drives in USB mode connected to a computer (at least under windows). So as long as you have the USB data transfer cable, you dont need any additional hardware to write to the SDHC card.

Thanks for the great info, and your patience helping people out. Im following your procedure with 7.1.0-Encore and it seems to complete the process correctly I get the pause at flushing cashes and then the device powers down. But when I power back up, it just boots into the stock Nook firmware (the first thing I see is Read Forever, just like I didnt have an SD card in there). Ive tried this three times now with two different cards (an 8GB and 16GB). Ive tried writing the image using both WinImage and win32diskimager. My nook is a refurb with 1.2.0 firmware. Any idea whats going on? Thanks, Jay

By: Jay K on 11/16/2011 at 1:17 am Reply A similar thing was happening to me. What finally worked for me was when I followed everything exactly (i.e. using 7.0.3 instead of the newest version) and that solved it. I had figured Hey, if it worked back when Stephen first did it, then why not?. Also, Im on 1.3, so it SHOULD work on 1.2. Try using the 8GB and 7.0.3 and see if that helps.

By: Sophia on 11/16/2011 at 1:52 am Reply I figured it out. It looks like CM7 + the apps file has gotten too big for the partition that gets created when the generic-sdcard-v1.3 image is written to the card (~115MB). After writing that image, I used the free EaseUS partition manager (http://www.partition-tool.com /download.htm) to resize the partition I made it 200MB (since this is a 16GB card and it doesnt matter), but I doubt youd have to go that large. Anyway, after this step, I copied over the two .zip files, put the card in my Nook, and everything worked. Now that I think about it, once time during the original install (before I resized the partition), I think a message about running out of disk space was printed out, but it flashed by pretty quick. It probably ran out every time I tried this but I just missed it.

By: Jay K on 11/16/2011 at 2:14 am Reply This is real good info. Thanks for the feedback Jay. I am also thinking that the technique you implemented could be saved to match the two sizes of cards, 8GB & 16GB image files for use with versions newer than 7.0.3. I could place them up on

But I tried with/without the gapps file several times and results were consistent (with gapps, NC booted from sdcard the first time, but not the second; without gapps, NC booted from sdcard first and second time and ran fine sans gapps).

It gives you the option of restoring to a fixed size or a variable size and I chose variable size presuming that it would allow use a a larger card. Anyway, it works!

By: Anonymous on 12/10/2011 at 11:21 am Reply Sorry, then you need to reboot in restore mode, which you can do a couple of ways. Easiest way may be to long press the power button, and find the restore option from the reboot choices. When it rebootsit will install the gapps zip. Then download the nook tweaks app from the app store, to overclock the CPU. Good luck!

I got a 16GB micro-sd card class 10. and went through the steps of getting CM7 installed. It is all successful. It even getsto the point where it turns the nook off. at the end of the install. However, When I power up after the cm7 install, all I get to is the initial splash screen of CM7 and thats it. It does not go beyond that splash screen. there is the animation where the arrow turns around and around and stops. Once it stops, the splash screen starts the animation again. I do not have the google apps package copied/installed. as some of the postings have indicated it might bea source of some startup problems. I have also tied using easeus to resize the partition assuming it was a partition size problem. But no luck. So I would appreciate if anyone has any pointers as to what the problem might be. (is a 2GB card big enough to try a trial install? is 16GB too big as one of the postings indicates that maybe 8GB is as big as it can get.?) Thanks for all the helps

By: Ramdev on 12/12/2011 at 2:44 pm Reply If anyone is interested, I think my problems were due to a bad micro SD card. Here is what I did I fiund a 2GB PNY class 2 microsd card and followed the steps to get CM7 setup on the card. Inserted it into Nook color and viola it booted up without any errors. During the initial bootup/CM7 install process, I did not notice any disk errors either. which prompt me to think that maybe the bad sector messages were causing the continuous loop of the initial CM7 splash screen.

By: Anonymous on 01/10/2012 at 6:18 pm Reply 93. I have noticed that a Class 4 card works better than a Class 10 card. In the past I used a SanDisk Class 10 card and I would get force closures all the time. I switched a SanDisk class 4 card and not a single force closure since then. In the case of the nook color, faster reads (Lower class card, Class 4) is better for the boot off of a uSD card than a card with faster writes (Higher class card, Class 10)

By: Ramdev on 01/10/2012 at 6:25 pm Reply Ramdev, I can believe it. Counterintuitively it appears that higher class rated sd cards can be worse. The theory is the rating is higher for cards that write *large* amounts of data quickly. Linux/Unix based systems have a need for cards that write smaller blocks of data quickly, which the higher rated cards are not necessarily quite as adept at doing as a lower rated card is. Thanks for the feedback,

Download generic-sdcard-v1.3 img and unzip the file. http://crimea.edu/~green/nook/generic-sdcard-v1.3.img.gz 2. Download update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed zip file (CM7 stable). Latest Version CyanogenMod Wiki 3. Download gapps-gb-20110828-signed zip file(latest google apps). http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/ore-signed.zip 4. Use SD Card Drive Format Tool to wipe drive and get a clean start. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ use options: Format type: Full (Erase) Format Size Adjustment: ON 5. Download and unzip win32diskimager-binary folder to your computer http://launchpad.net/win32-image-wriger-binary.zip 6. Burn the unzipped generic-sdcard image to sd card using Win 32Disk Imager. 7. Install SD partition manager epm.exe and run program EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition Free software downloads and software reviews CNET Download.com 7.a. Use SD partition manager to partition Micro SD Card from 107MB to 150MB you have to hit apply once you make the change for it to take effect. 8. Copy update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed and gapps-gb-20110828-signedzip files to SD card. *Do not change the file names.* 9. Power down Nook and insert SD Card. 10. Power on Nook and wait for CM7 boot program to run. You will see Linux Penguin and a bunch of scripts run and packages install. 11. Program will say install finished It is safe to power off now but wait until the screen goes blank. 12. Hold power button for 10 seconds to power down Nook. 13. Power up Nook. 14. You will see blue text Android followed by CM7boot screen followed by a choice of com.android.provision.DefaultActivity or Setup Wizard. 15. Choose Setup Wizard.

By: tzah on 01/14/2012 at 4:56 am Reply 96. Hi guys, Im following this very simple and well written guide but it seems Im failing at some point. Ive successfully written the image on the microsd card, place both CM 7.1 (latest stable version) and gapps (also latest possible version) and after I power up the Nook with the card inside it the process begins, everything seems to goo just fine, at the end the device powers down. The problem is that when I power it on after that it boot the stock OS instead of CM. Not only that but it shows me that there is a memory card inserted and gives me the opportunity to explore its contents. I see all the files that have gotten out from those zips and stuff What do I do wrong? The card is an 8GB Transcend class 6 if thats a factor. Thanks in advance!

By: Martin on 01/19/2012 at 3:13 pm Reply Update: I got it! It seems CM should be installed on its own and booted at least once and then the gapps zip should be put on the card and the device should be rebooted in recovery mode. Gapps install successfully and everything is just fine.

By: Martin on 01/19/2012 at 4:13 pm Reply 97. I have a NC 1.41. I followed the (very good) instructions you have above and this is what happens: The penguin page shows up on power-up and it looks like CM (7.03) installs and then powers down. When I restart, the same thing happens, only faster. I am using an 8GB class 4 card. I also tried a 2GB class 4 card with the same result. I did this with 7.03. I also tried 7.1 on the 8GB card but it looked like some of the messages on the scroll said not enough memory.

By: Anonymous on 01/21/2012 at 6:10 pm Reply Follow-up: I Re-formatted the card and put only CM on it, following Martins post above.

Cyanogen boots up just fine. After I play with CM for a while I will add the gapps zip file to the card and see if it works. This is a great and easy to follow guide. Thanks glasskeys!

By: Dave on 01/21/2012 at 7:15 pm Reply 98. This is the best step by step instructions I have seen on this topic. Does anyone know if this will work for the Nook Simple Touch? Thanks

By: Anonymous on 01/24/2012 at 11:47 pm Reply It probably wont due to speed, and especially video as is my guess it uses a radically different chipset to handle the eInk based display. Thanks for reading, Stephen

By: glasskeys on 01/26/2012 at 7:09 am Reply 99. Thanx man for such a comprehensive setup sharing.well m trying to do this on my nook colorfrom last so many day i ve watch all the video ony outube for thisbut none of them work for me..forsome reason my winimGe software is not able to write the imag file to sdcard though its 4GB card but.i coldnt find the reason.but i do appriciate the effort of all you people out tnere..keep sharing good things..

at 5:03 pm Reply 101. i have installed the img on the sd card and moved over CyanogenMod to the sd card but it still will not boot into CyanogenMod. I have tried it on both a 16g and 8G card. the nook boots but no CyanogenMod.

By: Anonymous on 02/01/2012 at 7:46 pm Reply 102. i did everything and the screen is non responsive i am using 8gb sd class 4 pny card.could you tell why the screen isnt responding to apply the settings

By: kjl on 02/03/2012 at 5:46 pm Reply I read on another site that newer Nooks (purchased after 12/1/11) have an updated screen and require a different driver than is included with these instructions Thats why everything works fine except the screen is unresponsive. If someone has updated this C mod 7 to include the latest driver I sure would like to know how to solve this because Ive been sitting on 2 of them for 2 months now.

By: Anonymous on 02/03/2012 at 7:36 pm Reply You may have to manually change the pixel density. How onewould do that i do not know :( lok up changing pixel density for nook and cm7 iguess. Hopethat helps

By: ramdev on 02/03/2012 at 7:50 pm Reply In the market theres an app called Blade Buddy. I used to change the density, it works just fine.

Reply I found that the most recent version of Cmod 7.1 must include the latest touch screen drivers because now the whole process works, HOWEVER,,, do NOT include Google Apps in the original boot procedure. It messes with the reboot and you end up back in B&Ns OS. Load the unzipped SD card image and the still zipped Cmod 7.1 as per the instructions, then after wards, take the mini SD card back to your computer and copy the google apps onto the card. After reinserting the card and booting from it, hold the power button in until the list of options comes up including Reboot. Choose Reboot and then Recovery mode. This will load the google apps and you are all set.

By: Anonymous on 02/07/2012 at 10:39 pm Reply 103. I have a question. So far Ive been rocking the CM7.1 on a Transcend class 6 8GB microsd card and Im pretty pleased with how the device is responding, but after reading almost everywhere that if wanted enhanced performance SanDisk class 4 is the right sd card I just couldnt keep myself from buying one. The thing is that I already have set up the android in the exact state I want it to be in (apps, settings, etc.). My question what is the best way to clone the contents from my current bootable microsd card to my new SanDisk one? I tried doing it by making an image with WinImage and then restoring it on the SanDisk, but for some reason it given me some error (error 27 the drive cannot find the sector requested) at 99%. The card is OK, because I managed to create a new CM bootable version on from scratch, but I dont want to go through installing applications and configuration them all over again. If someone can help me with this, please do, Ill be very grateful!
