I have sd_root_nt16or8gbV4.7, and it works great, but it does not see any zip files in the card I insert to do the cm7, I am using the same sandisk 4gb I used to install sd_root. Also, when I reboot since I am stuck, what version am I on. I am trying to install cm-7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip, and I can see it on the card from my computer. and also the nook.
So I have two nook tablets in this state. (16gb)
Assuming your SD card is bootable, to boot the NT from SD card: turn off your NT then insert a powered USB cable (as opposed to using the power button).
Also, you might consider going to CM10, as time goes on there will increasing less and less apps available for CM7.
possible solution but I do not know how to get in twrp

You should have debugging and install from unkn source aready checked uder manage apps and development but double check. if all is good there in TWRP or CWM dismount and remount SD and make sure it's reading the card/ on TWRP in the left pane there will be files to choose, brouse them and see if you can find the downloads. If still no joy, and your for sure rooted try to reformat your sd again with sdformatter and put your rom and gapps back on it and try again. LMK, thanks,

Im having trouble finding debugging and install from unknown source option, or even finding manage apps and development. How do i get there?
im actually using that guide and im in my cwm recovery v5 and i cant find any option to debug etc.
Debug is under developer options. Unknown sources is under security settings. Both of which are in the ROM, not in CWM.

Hey Guys,
I just got my 16gb NT during ebay's $199 sale. I'm having a serious problem getting the thing to boot off of an SD card. It came stock with 1.4.1, but I think something's different because I've tried:
Restoring back to 1.4.0 with the acclaim_update.zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190
And the NT root SD card
Nook Tablet Root SD Cards
No mater what I do, I can't get it to boot off of the SD card via the zip or into CWM, all I get are factory reset screens instead of CWM. I've tried 3 different SD cards.
I'm going to give this a shot next:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910
I don't know if it's going to work, so any help would be greatly appreciated. What's stopping my NT from booting off of the SD?!
why go back to 1.4.0 you don't need to. use indirect method using his image writer tool supplied if your on windows it sounds like you are not formatting the sd card

I've tried formatting the cards both using windows and the NT internal tool. I've also tried writing the image file both directly to the SD and to the SD mounted in the nook.
I'll try indirect's method first.
I wanted to go to 1.4.0 to snowball.
It is my understanding that BN made a change in the new 8 gig NT that somehow prevents booting from the sdcard. Check other threads. No one so far has been able to boot from sdcard. Making some changes in Indirect's setup may solve it so I read on one of the threads. good luck.

Doesn't work. Formatted through the nook, connected through the nook, wrote the image through the nook, etc. Went to go boot up (power+n, screen on/off, eject/reinsert card, power on) - all I got was a factory reset option instead of CWM.
Something is amiss.

That change is the bootloader locking up because it's the wrong bootloader.

Again, this is a 16gb nook tablet, not an 8gb. It looks like, very very briefly, I may be getting something other than the factory reset screen - I see what looks like the start of the nook bootup animation, then a green arrow that flashes quickly, before I get the factory reset screen.
I bought the NT from the Ebay sale last week as well. Have you heard of anyone else having issues booting off the SD card?
I was planning to book the NT tomorrow. Sounds like I might be returning mine if that doesn't work...

Try turning it off completely, inserting the SD card, and plugging it into your computer.

so to clarify things. you put the acclaim update zip on the sd card. and did you let it reset your nook to 1.4.0 or not? Also you don't have the acclaim update zip on your memory card when you are trying to boot off the sd card do you?
It did not try to reset it. It didn't do anything other than boot normally.
I know it sees SD cards because i can look at files, but it did not boot from it.
ok. wipe your sd card. put on ONLY the acclaim update zip. nothing else. stick that in your nook then turn it off. (in that order) then when it powers back on, let it update your nook
once it's updated, turn your wifi off and check what version you are on. then delete the acclaim update zip from your sd card and report back. KEEP IN MIND. it's NOT "booting off the sd" for this. it's just resetting the software to 1.4.0. if you think it's supposed to boot off a sd for this, think again. expect to see something along the lines of a factory update. that's what it's supposed to do whenever the acclaim update zip is on your sd card.

Yeah, you're not affected by it. Your problem is operator error. They can't change hard-coded IROM with a firmware update.
I don't know what I did but I finally got acclaim to wipe me back to 1.4.0.
I had 3 different SD's formatted in various ways through the pc, through the tablet, etc. Each time it was ONLY acclaim on there. 158th time's the charm, I guess.
Now to tackle the apk parse errors while trying to sideload stuff.
Parse errors are caused by selecting the first button option just once when installing an app and then the second option button which is the only one you should ever select will give you parse error as well. If you do a search on parse errors you will see it.

I was having issues with my SD card not booting last night during my CM7 install. After checking my work in Gparted I knew it was OK. Finally I unzipped the files into the upper root and it booted. I know I had it boot with the zip before but this time I could not get it to work?

Finally got CWM using the APK. This is a f!cking nightmare. I swear this thing is messing with me.
I've done something really, really stupid. I know just enough about permissions to hang myself but good.
I have a Nook Tablet 8GB that dual boots either into a Nook, or with the SD card in, into Cyanogenmod 7.2.0-RC0-acclaim-TEAM-B.
I was trying to get my Windows 7 PC to recognize the tablet and the sd card when booted into Android. I have the ROM manager app loaded. Something I read made me think that if I ran the "fix permissions" feature of ROM manager, I could get the Windows PC to see the drives. (It does this just fine when connected via USB while booted as the Nook tablet.) So -- fix permissions ran and did a chmod on a bunch of files. Now half of my apps are gone. I can boot into Nook and I can boot off the SD card. I can start my Wi-Fi and do most other things. I just can't get to all my apps. I did make a copy of the SD card to an external drive before I did this. And, I had moved all the apps to the SD card before I copied it. Can I restore (unfix) my permissions back to where they were and everything was working? I know,I know, - I'm an idiot. Everything was perfect and then I screwed it up. Can anyone help please?

hm. usually fix permissions from rom manager "fixes" problems with apps. let me just make sure i understand what you are trying to do...
you want your win 7 pc to recognize the two drives of the NT when connected via usb right? the userdata partition (1GB if you have stock partitions) and the external storage which is your sd card?
am i understanding you correctly?
if so, all you have to do to mount the two drives onto your computer is just to enable usb mass storage from the notifications drop down menu when the NT is connected to your PC by usb.

Yes, that was exactly what I was trying to do. And yes, I did figure it out and am able to see my NT and the SD card as drives in Win7. My mistake came in when I somehow thought not seeing the drives was a permissions problem. (From something I was reading.) When I ran the "fix permissions" in ROM manager, I lost half my app icons on my screens. I'm trying to find out how to get all my apps back!

usually a reboot and reinserting the sdcard after the NT has fully booted up with solve your problems with apps not launching.
EDIT: well since you are booting cm7 through an sd card then i am not sure why your apps aren't showing up... have you tried the "move to phone" option under maange applications in the applications settings?

This may have been the problem. Not all apps can run when moved to the "SD" card (which is really just another partition on the actual SD card). You should be able to simply reload the apps from their source (Google Play, etc.). An app call ZDBox can be configured to tell you, when you install an app, if that app can be moved to the SD card. The ability to move and app and have it function properly is based o the app itself and limitations therein. Again, all apps cans be moved, but not all will work when moved.

I took out the SD card, booted into Nook, powered down. Then I reinserted the SD card and booted into Android. The apps are all back. It's still a little wonky; if I move too fast for the OS, the whole things seizes up and I lose some apps again, but the above steps get every thing going again. Thanks for the ideas.
Hello, I recently received a Nook Tablet with a major problem. It won't boot up. The best I can do is to get it to the TWRP menu. If I try to go past that it just goes to a black screen and I have to restart the device. I've tried looking online for a fix but came up empty. I would either like to restore the Nook to factory settings or restore the CyanogenMod OS. The TWRP screen says v2.1.4. When I go into the install menu I have two options cm-7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip and Gaps_and_root.zip. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, -Rob
More info please!
Is this new or a used device that you are trying to do something with? If so, what?
The CM7 leads me to believe it's a used one since CM10 is the ROM of choice at the moment for most.
What have you actually done, if anything, beside trying to boot?
I would suggest you browse through some topics here, because I'm pretty sure spending a little time will provide with several suggestions how to move forward.

It is used and has an 8gb flash card. When I originally got it I was able to get it to boot but I couldn't download any Apps because the Google Play wouldn't work and it gave a message "OTA Updater has stopped working". I've spent hours looking for a way to get it back to factory or to try and get it to work properly and have had no luck. Now I can't get it to boot up. I tried the Internal eMMC recovery option but it doesn't seem to be working. Could the MOUNT options be a problem? Currently "Unmount Cache", "Unmount Internal Storage", and "Using internal storage" is selected. I just want to get this tablet to work properly so I can download apps and use the Android OS as it was intended.
If I was you I would start over again with a "fresh" Tablet and do a completely new install. But that's me... I've given suggestions how to do that in several similar topics in this very forum. As I said, read the forum! I see several topic headlines that SHOULD catch your attention on this very forum page list!

I tried the acclaim restore per this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190 . It involved copying the .zip file to my SD and inserting it into the Nook. When I turned it on it was supposed to begin restoring the Nook to the factory OS. When I did it, the Cyanoboot went into "Loading recovery from eMMC". Not sure if it's not booting from the SD or not but I tried the usb to PC method.
I also attempted the AlbertWertz SD Root card, but when I try to write the .img file to my SD it said that there was insufficient space on disk. And I tried it with a 8gb and 16gb SD.
I then tried the do the CM10 install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626 . But my computer doesn't give me the option to format my SD w/ a partition.
I also tried to hold the Power+N 8x and it just goes back into the Cyanoboot menu.
I can't seem to find anyone with my exact problem. NT wont boot into OS, and no matter what I do it goes into the Cyanoboot menu.
Try the burning the "repart.img" in the topic I link to at the end of this post to an sd-card and boot into it. Unless you've managed to destroy some partition on the device in your attempts (and it doesn't sound as you've made enough progress to actually do that - sometimes lack of progress is good) . It's fully automatic and takes you back out of the box stock 1.4.0 (as I have told in several other topics the last few days).
Using this is far sefer than fiddling with CWM and what have you if you're not sure what you're doing!

Assuming you have a Windows PC/laptop, you can download and use this free disk partition tool: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html (just be careful apply it to the SD drive and not your PC/laptop hard drive).
After succesfully burning and running the img from iamafanof.wordpress jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-tablet. I decided I wanted to have more control over partition size etc and load a ROM from an SD card instead.
So I followed or at least thought I followed the instructions here. iamafanof.wordpress how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet. However, I thought I was creating a bootable SD card with the ROM on it, but I installed the ROM on the internal nook memory by mistake. The nook tablet runs CM10 well.
The issue is I intended to be able to switch from CM10 on the SD card to the Nook OS like I could originally with the SD card img I mentioned previously. I cannot get the Nook Tablet 8gb to boot from the SD card. I only get CyanaBoot with the options to boot internet or boot internal recovery. The recovery options does nothing and the internal boot takes me into CM10. The SD options are greyed out. I have tried probably 5 different SD boot images including 2 that I know have worked previously. Also tried 3 different SD cards 2 of which I know worked previously. I am powering completely off and then plugging in USB to turn back on as described through the forum. I have tried using the Nook Recovery and it goes through the steps it looks as if it restoring to original state, but it only restores CM10 to original state.
My question is how to I get my Nook to boot to SD or can I somehow use my working CM10 ROM to get things restored to original NOOK OS. My goal is to wipe the Nook clean and go back to original state and then correctly create a CM10 SD boot card. I am a newbie to the Nook, but feel like I have explored all of the most easy to find options on the this forum to fix this.
I have no idea what you were trying to do and what went wrong (because what you say doesn't make sense).
Anyway... Try using the repart.img to get back to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
Instruction in the link I provided is very detailed. Short version: Downolad the 1.42 recovery, unzip and burn an sd-card with the repart.img you will find in the extracted folder. Boot to that sd-card and a restore process will start. After a while (a few minutes?) a green checkmark hopefully appears. Pop out the card and the Tablet will reboot and finish the process and you're back to stock 1.4.0 or something like that.
Iamafanof has ready-made sd images oc both CM10 and CM10.1. Use one of those. Don't overcomplicate things. Use one of them! (Not that I get why you couldn't stay with the one you were running already... That's kind of what doesnät make sense to me.)

Sorry for not being clear. After I accidentally installed CM10 internally on the nook I can no longer boot from an SD card. I have tried your guide and at least 5 others now. I follow the steps to a T. I have made 3 working SD boot cards for the Nook prior to installing CM10 internally. I understand the process. I have 3 different SD cards and none of which make a bootable SD card. Somehow now that CM10 is installed and the cyanaboot comes up on reboot with the options to boot internal or boot internal recovery. The SD options are greyed out. No matter how many different SD cards I use and boot instructions I follow. It will not read the SD card on boot. It does read it fine once the OS boots. I do not currently have gapps installed. So even If i wanted to keep the internal CM10 install I still need to be able to boot from SD to install gapps.

Yes. That is the method I am using. power down. Insert USB. Nook powers up. Cyanotboot Menu comes up. SD boot options are not available. At this point I am ok with just having CM10 on it, but I really need to get the google apps loaded onto the Nook. It simply will not boot from SD or recognize the SD card during boot. It does recognize from within the android OS and on my Windows machine. It shows Nook as an external device and I can access the SD card that way. It just will not boot from the SD card.
Just confirm: you've tried Succulent's pre-made CM10.x SD image (suc as cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RC0_13OCT2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/ -- unpack it with 7-zip then write the image to SD with win32diskimager) and it didn't boot either?

Long story but its cooked. Do not have a spare sd card to put in, and still rooted. Want to make sure any personal info has been deleted. Is there a best way to do this. Tried copying nook update 1.4.3.zip but it wont download since no sd card, or copy from internet
Do you have ADB access?
Edit: mmm.........check out this procedure for the Nook Color. If you have CWM on your NT it might work the same way.

Can you still boot into custom recovery?
If so, you should be able to simply reformat or delete the system, data, and user-media partitions to remove any personal info.
U could look for the repart image file, burn that to sd card, and that will boot from the sd, repartition it and return it to stock 1.4.2, like new again.
there is more than one variant around, Ive used this one a lot

Just search for "repart.img nook tablet" on Google. The first result should show an "unbrick tool" that you can use. It's just an .img file that you can write to an sd via Win32 DiskImager. Boot your tablet by putting the SD in, then inserting a powered USB cable. When the green checkmark appears, you'll know that the process was successful. Just pop the SD out and you can forget about it. The Nook will even be repartitioned, with a lovable setup of 7.5 GB for media partition (personal data) and 5.5 GB for app data. You can get more details by visiting the website I directed you to.
Cheers
