Stock 1.42 internal and cm7 on sd card. In order to boot to the sd card, I must have the power cord connected . Is there a way around this ? This is a 16 gb tablet. Thanks

At this time, the community has not figured out a way around this. Fortunately, I am one of the lucky ones that always boots from SD just fine.
Currently, there is an experiment being done to try understand this problem better. However, there seems to be a lack of participation in the project. If you would like to contribute, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608683
Are you rooted?
Yes rooted 1.40
Prepare an sdcard that you can boot into cwm.
Make sure adb shell can run onto Nook Tablet.
After you do that post here.
as a quick way, you can pull the battery connector from the back of the unit. I demonstrated this on XDATV Nook Tablet unboxing.

You might want to try this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24885731&postcount=679
It works for me much of the time.
Lets try to fix that:
Boot cwm
1st do this:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2
So you backup your p2 partition.
Now flash mine, after you copy onto sdcard
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Reason i tell you to backup yours is because mine has cyanoboot.
When you want to go back to yours reverse the flashing.
Here is the download link:

Please report if boot2sd is fixed after this.
Thanks

Boot to sd without usb - possible solution

spangeman said:
This seems to work for me when I am stuck without a USB power cable and need to boot into CM.
1. Boot into stock Nook.
2. Click the SD card icon in the bottom left hand corner and select browse SD card.
3. Hold down power button and power off. Wait for the Nook to shutdown.
4. Hold down power button to power back on, try to hold down the power button for as short a time as possible when you do this.
5. Do not try any other button pressing during boot.
I am using a n2acards.com 16GB card downloaded from their site on a 8GB Nook tablet.

I think it's ridiculous that anyone would pay $20 for something that you can do for free with just reading into it a little. You could learn something in the process. Oh but that requires some work, and that's too hard...
If you want to donate your money, give it to the actual developers that are spending countless hours figuring all this out for us to use.

I just book the 8G nook tablet. I comes with 1.4.2 so from reading different threads I thought the it would be easier to root with 1.4.0 so I tried the 1.4.0 SDcard.
Ever since my tablet won't turn on. I even tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910 But no luck.
Any ideas or suggestions of what to try?

Will the unit still boot from the 1.4.0 sd card? If so, you could try to reflash that again. Otherwise, I would keep trying to hold down both of those buttons (without the sd card in) for even longer. I had some instances where I thought mine was bricked (I have the 16 gb model), but eventually it came around. No real rhyme or reason to it.
Bob
Well assuming by this thread that Adam's 1.4.0 Booted and trashed your system.... you'll either have to try taking it back in and playing real real stupid, like too stupid to program the vcr stupid, or you'll just have to wait until someone makes recovery for the 8GB nooks.
Let me explain, the Boot Loader files for 1.4.0 are designed to run for the 16GB devices only, it wasn't until 1.4.2 (which is available for both devices) that B&N modified the Boot Loader files to run on both 16GB and 8GB. Therefore when MLO tries to initiate memory it's trying to initiate for the 16GBs 1GB memory as opposed to the 512MB of the 8GB device, this will cause the device not to boot.
the boot sd methods for 16gb dont
even work for 8gb so how could you even mess anything up? you sure you removed sd card?
Sent from my sensation 4G
I'm guessing you had SD in there and connected usb cable, it attempted to boot form sd and locked up with nothing happening on screen. Just tried it on the 8gb that I have here (just opened box this minute)
If thats the case all you need do is remove sd card, remove USB cable and hold power for 15 seconds. Then wait a couple of secs and power it back on with the power button again. If like mine it will boot back up fine and isn't bricked.

Ok so there is a simple solution to this with the SD Root that is provided by Indirect. After you have a CWM SD Card by using winimaging (or what ever its called)take the MLO and the u-boot.bin from the 1.4.2 update package and place them inplace of the MLO and u-boot.bin on the SD Card. Once you have done that get the update.zip from B&N and flash that. That should fix most of your problems.
PS. The reson that he cannot get it to work is that the update.zip's uboot and MLO are form 1.4.0 which did not support the correct addressing.

No nothing is in there, when you use the 1.4.0 SDcard it loads the update image and replaces the current image. I thought there would be check so it wouldn't put a bad image that wouldn't work in place but I guess there isn't any safety checks on the built in update firmware routine.

Are the new files posted yet with the correct addressing for the 8G? Or is there instructions on how to get them from clean 8G?
This is what I did to brick my NT. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190
Yes my NT is bricked, I have tried numerous times to shut it down (incase the screen was blacked instead of off) and turning it back on.
I have tried both the factory reset (power and home) and just the power button.
I as much as I can guess, when I did the firmware update above I messed up the internal booting. So I need to have the files for 8G so I can boot off of an SDcard.
I checked the B&N website if they had the 1.4.2 files (MLO and u-boot.bin) but they only have one updates file which I figure is for 16G.
Yup you're screwed take it into B&N and hope they'll replace it.

It still isn't working, but we have the first step done which is getting the 8GB to boot off the SDcard, they are now working on the Ubuntu recovery SDcard.

I jast passed a copy of all the internal partitions onto Adam so you should now be able to completely restore you're 8GB NT back to stock. Or if you now have adb access via SD card I posted the files on the forum so you could quite easily restore the system completely yourself.

Unfortunately I don't know of any full images for SDcards that have be released yet for 8GB. I only know of the 2uboot which "crashes" when it reads the internal image to create the menu.
If anyone can help me get something else to work like maybe CWM that would be appreciated.
I'm out all day today (uk and I'm on way to work) but I'll happily help you later when I'm home.

i was attempting to downgrade the software back to 1.4.0 with the acclaim download and my nook tablet went to black screen. now the only thing it does is occasionaly bing when i plug it to the computer. i cant tell if the thing is on or off. What do i do?
send it back to b&n and tell them it won't boot. that what I did and they gave me a new one. if you search thru the forum, you'll see that I missed the warning too and bricked. posted a warning after that and you missed it too.
Damn google search and my lazy ass, went straight for the fix.

First thing I'd try would be to make a bootable CM7 SD ROM. If you can boot into that SD ROM, you'll at least have an operating system for the time being, and you can still try to figure out/fix the problem that was created in the internal system.

You can still put files on your SD card. The let me try to explain:
The CM7 image that you wrote to your SD card created 4 partitions. By using a free software called MiniTool Partition Wizard on a PC, you can extend the 4th partition (the one for user data) of your SD card to consume the rest of your storage space. The software is really easy to use, you shouldn't have any trouble with it.
Again, I know this all isn't fixing your main issue yet, but at least you'll have a tablet again until it hopefully gets fixed up.

tysm for helping me solar. imma do it fresh from the start right now i have a clean 32 gb micro sd card. i downloaded the cm7 for the sd. i have minitool partition wizard installed. whats my next move. im sorry for the trouble im giving you.
No trouble for me, my friend. We're all here to help.
Okay, so I assume you're running Windows here:
1.) Write the CM7 SD .img to your microSD card using the Win32DiskImager tool found in the opening post of the CM7 ROM thread.
2.) After that's finished, open up the Partition Wizard software and find your SD card disk (make sure it's the right one!)
3.) Choose the option to resize the 4th partition of your SD card. Resize it so that all off the unallocated space becomes part of that last partition.
4.) After you're satisfied with that, click the option to apply those changes and wait for it to perform those actions.
5.) You should now be good to put the SD card into your NT and boot up into your new CM7 ROM!

No, that 26.09GB is unused right now (unallocated space).

Per So****e:
Nononono. I'm sorry, the # just shows that you are in remote-shell. /sdcard # is just the directory you are in. any of that "$" and symbols at the beginning are just wat you see in the shell.

I am not able to get my device in Ubuntu terminal only windows CMD. But I will try again in Ubuntu. Thank you I will try when I get some time.
Okay. So my first issue is that I have been ebaying nook colors. Apparently I ended up getting a 16gb nook tablet instead of a color this last time. So the rooting process is apparently way more pain staking than the color was. Here's what i've tried so far.
First i tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626
I set up one main partition, set it as active, my computer found it, and I moved all the appropriate files over. Inserted the SD card into the NT, plugged in the power cord and BLAM..... it won't even turn on. Pop out the sdcard, and it powers up just fine. So that got me to thinking. maybe i did something wrong, even though i followed the directions to a t.
So I decided to try the other method:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/
well. CM10 is 60mb to big for the way that that guy wants the partition setup. So i figure.... okay. I'll just swap CM10 for Liquidsmart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274244) and it's still to big! So I Deleted Gapps and now LiquidSmart fits.
So i'm about to try that method. i'm hoping it works. But i'm concerned because it doesn't call for a boot menu (re: twrp) to be transferred to the sdcard. So here goes. I'll post back in a few.
eta: WHOOT! Progress! got the boot screen to come up. but now it says "booti: bad boot image magic (in memory)
thoughts?
Get readymade.image here and run CM10 from sd. If you decide you want to install internally you can use the card to boot into CWM and install internally from there. It runs extremely well from sd though!

okay. so here's where i'm at. to be able to actually get INTO the boot menu you have to modify the files per http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/
the problem with this is that none of the roms i've tried will install after modification. They will attempt to, but they all abort due to one reason or another. that is to say that they will not install.
"set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1-20130605-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted."
Why not use the readymade image I suggested? Just download, burn, expand one partition if you want to and run. Easy peasy!

i have a 16gb tablet and a 2gb sdcard. what's the point of running android if you have no space to install apps?

It looked like you were trying to follow a guide to make a sd card install so I gave advice for an Easter option.You can still use that readymade image if you want to as a bootable CWM card and then install your ROM and corresponding gAppps.

Go and get a 16 gig microsd card and try it again.
A 2gig card is only good for recovery.
Are you trying to make this a dual boot thing with CM10.1 and the B&N original? or are you getting rid of the original os, and going stricktly Android?

im trying to blast the original rom and put on cm10.1 or one of the others. In theory a 2gb card should be all that is needed for a flash, however NOTHING... and I mean NONE of the tutorials i've read and tried have worked.

it's been about a week since i tried this last so i forget exactly where i'm at. One of the tutorials i used got me into the boot menu but nothing would flash over. All the tuturoials saying to use winimage don't work at all. and thanks to that program I lost 10 years worth of programs because i chose to ignore what drive I was formating. Luckily i was able to use a partition checker to get most of them back. but that's another story.

I would have to drop out of Mac OSX and reboot into Windoze to see what I used. Something that works on microsd cards.
I did not have a read/write adapter for my PC yet and did it through my Nook buy using the Nook and microsd cards as external USB drives.

I can't help there.
I did not have that problem.
Might try a search for it?
Dude, I have a Nook Tablet 16GB too. It's really easy to flash, takes literally 10 minutes max.
Don't randomly do things next time, I took many hours to research before flashing my NT with Cyanogenmod.
Watch this video. This guy explains things really well.
youtube (dot) com/watch?v=c6D4s3okNQk
Not sure what your problem is. I took my Nook Tablet 16GB from a rooted stock 1.4.3 ROM to CM10.1.2 stable release in about 15 minutes. Fully set up, apps installed, multi-touch FW installed in less than 30 minutes. One of the easiest upgrades I've ever done on an Android device. And this 10.1.2 is amazingly stable, fast, excellent battery life, like having a brand new tablet.
I reload CWM recovery to get out of a boot loop. It has worked every time so far. For me, every time I've tried to load TWRP I get into a boot loop.

thanks digimax, i have read that several times over and have tried everything i can think of. i have used different sd cards, different usb cables, usb ports on my machine. i even went out and bought a brand new 8 and 16GB class4 sds and still nothing. i have used win 32 disk imager, acronis dd, ubuntu live, and fedora core that i have dual boot on my machine. i have downloaded the image from 4 different sources( using alberts method) and tried each of them numerous times. is it possible that my NT is unrootable? would it help if i downgraded from 1.4.3? if anyone has a verified working link on an image ill try that. if i can get CWM going then i can take it from there as far as kernels and roms, its just getting to that point that is so frustrating

Just to confirm: what you burn to the SD card (using win32diskimager) is the .img file extracted from inside the downloaded zip file, and not the zip file itself?

I extracted the zip which contained win32diskwhatever and the image file i used win32 in admin mode to write the image and create the partition on the sd card. im currently abandoning that route though and am just going to try breaking down and flashing CM10.1 on it. i saw a post where you had stated that that was an old way so im going to try something newer. i have all the files downloaded and have built the partitions using mini tool partition manager im copying them over now but i think it will be tomorrow before i try to flash ill let you know if it works, and just to be clear when i flash the CM10 on the sd card i can remove it and the NT will still boot CM10?

If you flash onto and run CM off an SD card (e.g., as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1), that CM10 SD card has to stay in the SD card slot in order for your NT to run CM10.
If you want to be able to run CM10 without an SD card you'd have to flash CM10 internally on EMMC (e.g., see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123) to replace whatever ROM (stock or otherwise) you currently have.
Note thatSD-based installation and EMMC-based installation use different versions of ROM zip files which are not interchangeable, so make sure you pick the right version.

ok i tried using the premade image and putting it on the sd card to boot from. i made sure card was flagged as primary active 0x0C LBA and it was set to boot( if that makes any sense, been up too long lol ) that didnt work. so i tried to build the card my self reading through several times and double checking as i went. still nothing when i try to boot up with the usb cable. i have been using the stock cable could that be a problem? this is what i came up with when the NT booted normal (attachment below) can you tell did i do something wrong? would it be easier to throw CM onto the eMMC? if so can you link me to a version of CM that would work on the NT 8GB? thanks in advance!
Personally, I had trouble booting & running SD cards. I'm convinced it wasn't hardware but my noobness! Since then I've always loaded only to emmc. I also had trouble going directly & straight to CM10 roms from the B&N 1.4whatever OS.
So, looking for a recovery + rom that matched, I used Indirect's app to get cwm 5, then had no trouble loading a CM9 rom (all to emmc). Once CM9 was up & running good, I used Goo Manager to load an updated TWRP recovery suitable for CM10, then Cm10.1, etc. That's what worked for me & to this day I see no need to boot from SD's. Just me tho.

If booting of a pre-made image does not work, there might be a flaw with your NT that precludes it from booting off SD card, and if this is true I am not aware of any way to root or flash stock ROM onto emmc if your NT is currently running stock.

ok that doesnt really make sense, i havent seen anyone else complaining about having trouble and not being able to get it to go at all. im not saying impossible more improbable i guess, anything is possible. i have been working with my wifes NT today and im not having any luck getting hers to boot android or root. ray waldo said that team b has a version of cm7 that will boot without root but i cant even get that to come up. her NT is 8GB as well. if there is some kind of work around that anyone knows of please share. id be willing to donate if you guys think of a fix. thanks

It's indeed true that there really doesn't seem to be anyone not being able to get their NT to boot from sd, provided they follow suggestions. So I repeat the questions I asked in your own topic (and please, try to stay within one thread to maximize the chance of getting this sorted!):
1. Are you 100% you are dealing with a Tablet and not a Color? (Model no fr Tablet 8GB is 250A)
2. Are you using a SanDisk class 4 sd card? (And burn it according to instructions)
3. Have you tried turning the device off, inserting the card and then insert USB cable connected to power (not computer!)

Another thing to try is using a different SD card reader/writer.

I've been having problems with my 8gb tablet as well. I have tried all three of your suggestions above. Is there any way to set the 8gb tablet back to a later version like 1.4.0? I've only seen resets for the 16gb.

ok through a series of unfortunate events and through no fault of my own i now no longer have a NT but i do have a nook color now. for those of you wondering i DID have a tab but the screen ended up mysteriously shattering. wife was trying to be nice and ordered me what she believed to be a tablet but a color shipped instead. still trying to decide if i want to do anything with that but thats for a different thread. so i still dont know what happened the tab wouldnt boot CM10 before it broke ( or after either lol ) but i pulled the sd out and tried it again in my wifes tab using the wall charger to jumpstart it and it booted CM right up. so i guess i just got the crap draw out of the nooks we bought at the exact same time. still trying to figure out how i can pin this on best buy for selling me a faulty device lol, but i just wanted to say thanks for everyones help and feedback. when i threw the sd into my wifes tab it loaded CWM and CM10 just fine. ordered her a class 6 san disk sd to put in it to see if that helps with some of the lag issues.:good:
Ok, so I'd like to piggyback off this before starting my own thread. I have a bunch of Nook Colors that I have no problem booting off of SD cards for my kids. Now the 8gb Tablet is proving much harder for me. I've redone the SD card method 4x by two different methods and I keep getting the same result: It boots up fine, allows me to create the google account and even dowload apps. However, out of nowhere it will reboot and then I am stuck on the CM10 boot screen that just loops forever. I am repartioning a 16 GB card, making it active, windisk img the zip file to the card fine.... Does my symptom sound specific of something? Let me know. Thanks!

I encountered this same problem for the first time yesterday when I tried out a CM10.2 SD build.
If you are using 10.2 you might want to go back to using 10.1 for a while longer.
Yeah, but what if I'm on CM 10.1? I used one build from June (2x) then one from Aug (2x) and now have the same symptoms. This does not sound indicative of something specific? Like aren't some 8gb tablets troublesome from SD? Or is this a user error still of some sort?
