For some reason when i remove my sd card and boot up it goes directly into CWM instead of CM7. Putting the card back in gets me to boot into CM7.
Is it advisable to change this and how?

Either your partitions got messed up or you had a borked recovery install. I'd first recommend reflashing recovery to internal.
If that doesn't help, you might have to remake your partitions to regain access to your EMMC ROM.

am i correct in saying you installed cm7 internally? if so your cyanoboot settings might need to be changed. the way you are saying it, it sounds like your cyanoboot settings are booting to sdcard by default...
How do I change the cyanoboot setting?
I don't think OP is using CyanoBoot.

Hi all. Used the search tool but couldn't find nothing similar.
My ATRIX is unlocked, rooted, running stock gingerbread. I used the automatic script for unlocking bootloader and rooting. I guess it installed Tenfar's recovery too. I installed Rom Manager some time ago, and today I have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0. So I wanted to switch to romracer's in order to install a custom rom (maybe neutrino or wet dream, something with hdmi landscape =).
I was trying to instal romracer's recovery this morning. I'd put the .zip on my ext sdcard, but when I tried to use the "Install fom SD card" in RomManager, all I could see was the internal storage files. So I went ahead and transferred the .zip to internal storage root. Used Install from SD card again, selected the .zip. The phone rebooted, got into recovery mode.
That's when the problem came. It keeps waiting for SD card to mount, and then times out (20s). Is this sdcard trying to mount the EXT microSD? Why he needs it, since the .zip is in internal storage?
Any ideas on how to solve this? Am I doing something wrong here? Thank you very much. sorry providing so much information, thought it could be useful.
edit: additional information: I can see and use the external sd card on the phone normally. Can acces it via USB too, no problem.
Where exactly are you stuck? You say you managed to flash a zip and then rebooted the phone, right? So where are you now?
What filesystem is your SD card formatted in?
Boot to fastboot and flash recovery from fastboot.

When it reboots and automatically enters recovery, it says it cannot mount the SD card. So it doesn't actually flashes the zip, I guess. I'm where I begun.
Windows says its "FAT". Not FAT32, just FAT. Its a small (512mb) microsd card from my old phone. Should I format it? Maybe its just too small to use in this phone?
Thanks for your reply.

no clue about what was happening to my sdcard?
I thought it might've been a fs issue - I had something similar recently, but it does seem more like your recovery is borked!
As that guy up there ^ said, flashing over the recovery may do the trick
I've searched and i haven't. Really found anything explaining how to dual boot the nt. I have already rooted it internally using this method. But I'm not 100% sure how to dual boot. Any help and explanations are appreciated.
Which two ROMs do you want to dual boot?
I would like to use my cm9 and cm7. But stock nt would be fine too.
You can do CM9/CM7. However, you must flash CM9 internal and run CM7 from SD.
So firstly, go ahead and flash the latest CM9 normally using CWM.
Then write the CM7 SD Version .img to your SD card. After that's done, go to the first partition of your SD card and replace the flashing_boot.img with Cyanoboot's flashing_boot.img.
That way, when you boot with the SD in your NT, you have access to the Cyanoboot boot loader and can choose which ROM you want to run.
At least, this is the way I did it, and it has worked for me since the CM9 release.
Thank you so much. This is a huge help!!
No problem. Report back if you have any issues.
I wrote the image to sd card, then it formated, where do i download cynoboot bootloader? And where is the file i need to replace? Sorry, ive never done any of this before.
would it be a similar process to do 1.4.x and CM7 or CM9
I'm guessing yes, as long as you can burn img to sd card. I got cynoboot. But now it says that i have bad boot image magic (in memory) it wont let me boot.

By formatting, you might have erased the data on the boot partition of the SD card.
Moral of the story: Never trust Windows. It's always trying to mess up what you're actually trying to do.
When I don't format my nook says the card is damaged. Thanks for your help buddy. I'll just start trying to fix the problems I've found in cm9. Thanks.

Okay. I'm not sure why it wants you to format. It shouldn't need you to do anymore more to the card. Oh well.
Hey all, been reading a bunch on rooting the nook tablet so you would think I would be able to do this no questions asked but unfortunately I can't.
My nook is on that 1.4.3 so I am using this method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
and there is no zip in that original download and there is no gapp. So I tried to follow the instructions from page 25 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583&page=25
and then boot to the CWM. Now I go to try and unzip the zip I downloaded from page 25, and none of those are zips (side note, for whatever reason when I unzipped the files from page 25 into a folder so I could grab them whenever. Windows encrypted them. So when I copied them to the SD card I un-encrypted them)
So my question to everyone is: Where is this actual zip file and gapp at? My end goal is to root my Nook tablet to either ICS or Jellybean 'permanently' so as not to keep an SD card in it.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
It's probably easier to just skip plain root and flash ICS or Jellybean. Would you rather do that or stay rooted on the stock ROM for a while?

I want to get rid of the Nook interface/OS period
but....I want to make sure I get a pretty stable flash going if that is the case? I can always flash back right?
Thanks for your quick reply Solar Plexus
Yes, you can flash back. Are you familiar with ClockworkMod recovery? The first order of business is to decide whether you want CWM recovery flashed internally or just run it from an SD card. I'm assuming you want everything internal, but just making sure.

I am pretty sure I have the CMW installed on a SD card right now because I can boot to the area where you choose a zip. You know when you boot and you get the white background and the box center on screen.
Is it best to have it internal?
Yes, the white, then the box, then black screen with a bunch of options in neon blue lettering. It should say CWM recovery at the top somewhere. You have this, correct?

You can keep it running from SD card or flash it internally. Either way, you'll always have the option to boot recovery from SD, that is, as long as you're able to boot from an SD card in general.
At any rate, you're ready to flash a new ROM. Download the ROM from the Development subforum that you want to flash and report back. CM7 is currently the most stable.

So the method in my first post makes my SD card a partition of 75mb or so. I won't be able to put the ZIP ROMs on to it. Do you have a link to a detailed instruction so I can write boot img on to the SD card without killing all my space? My SD card is 16gb.
Don't put the ROM on that SD card. Put the ROM zip and gApps on the internal storage of your actual NT (that's the /mnt/media partition). Then you can choose the option to "install zip from internal SD" in CWM.
Also, do you have a 16GB NT or 8GB? Which ROM will you be flashing?

I have the 16GB NT.
I think I will go with the CM7 mod, but I am so tempted to do the jelly bean CM10 mod. Have it on my galaxy nexus and love it. Edit: I have the stock 4.1 OTA update on my galaxy nexus not the CM10 mod
You might want to wait a little while. I get lots of black screens of death on my CM10 ROM. CM7 will definitely be an upgrade to what you're used to though, so don't worry about that.
Here's the directions for flashing a new ROM on your NT:
1.) Make a backup of your current ROM (just to be safe!)
2.) Advanced options -> wipe Dalvik cache
3.) Install your ROM.
4.) Wipe data and cache.
5.) Install gApps.
6.) Reboot and enjoy.

Hey thanks for the info, but where exactly do I throw this zip file onto the Nook at? You said to put it on internal storage. Can I put it anywhere?
Put it on the root of the /mnt/media partition. It's the partition that pops up when you plug your NT into a PC. Or navigate to it using the file explorer if you downloaded straight to the NT.

So I did that, boot to CMW.
Now I click through into that zip folder to try and find file to unzip and it says no file found on all the options.
So today I went into the bootloader (By accident, meant to tap reboot into recovery) I pressed the down button one too many times and I deleted storage. Afterwards I went into recovery (4ext 1.0.0.5 RC7) and after an attempt to flash CM10. I receive the error message "Can't mount Internal SD card." The external SD card works just fine. I'm hoping I can get this fixed and after I do you can probably expect another thread for some other problem :laugh:

As an added note, everytime i make the phone a usb mass storage it unmounts the sd card
I think something similar happened to me where it didn't mount the internal SD no matter what.
I trie dformating it, partition it, nothing worked.
I fklashed stock RUU (that did it) and started from the beginning.
So try putting stock ruu in ext SD rename it PH85img and let bootloader update it.

yes flashing back to stock may help fix the corrupt file system.. then again there's a super wipe script posted somewhere... (not the one from android hd.. krook6023* posted it) if you look in the q&a about 2-4 pages back you might be able to download that and flash it... it also re-partitions the phone and fixes any errors in the file system..

My phone came broken, it wouldn't make phone calls. I tried a bunch of different roms and none of them worked. Now I can't even boot into a rom and it just hangs at the splash screen of whatever rom I flash. In Twrp is says that it cant mount anything in the internal memory card pretty much.

If TWRP can't find it or fix it, then you will probably have to be S-OFF and RUU back to stock.

at the bottom of the selections under the "Mount" tab in TWRP do you get area that says Micro sd or EMMC and storage space size
still having problem??
"It won't let me select the internal sd but it lets me select everything else."
If you are unlocked or S-0ff and still having this issue, I would suggest installing Amon-Ra recovery
via PH98IMG.zip.
Start recovery, choose USB-MS toggle, connect to Windows machine,
choose toggle internal SD, then format it. could do the external storage to format as well.
Now both should be visible and ready to take your ROM flash or nandroid restore.
