Use a cm10 SDC card. Follow instructions from here
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
Don't internally flash until you understand what you're doing.

Thank you. I am very sorry. Next time I will be wiser. is there a way for me to do cm7 with your instructions?

There's a cm7.2 SDC image on the iamafanof site. Scroll down all the nook tablet posts and you'll find it.

oh does the first instructions fix my problem? I am barely writing the img to my 2gb sandisk microsd.

My initial instructions will work. If you don't know what you're doing really then use cm10. On the site I linked scroll down to fond the final release (12/31) and write the image file to your SD card. You'll be good to go afterwards.

do i have to plug in my usb in my computer every time? can i use this with the same instructions on CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 Jellybean SDCard IMG for Nook Tablet (21APR2013) from iamafanof?

No you shouldn't have to have your USB plugged in to boot from SD card.
Yes CM10.1 4.2.2 works just the same, just write it to your SD card and you're good.

can I internally flash again? And how could I? Or do I have to write the img to my microsd?

There's a few guides on the "nook tablet general" thread that have instructions on how to internally flash CM. As I said if you don't feel comfortable internally flashing, then use the SDC image.

Are you sure I will safefully be able to internally flash something? Since of my prior flash of the cm7 internal rom?

There's no difference in internal and SD card speed. But I'll suggest using the SDC image for your case.

So I can internally flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217

Odin is a Samsung device thing. Similarly, hboot is for HTC and RSD is for Motorola.
Do you have an 8gb or 16gb model?

8 gb and yeah i knew that galaxy was odinable thats why i wasnt sure how to do the rooting and a cooler rom to my nook if it was possible
thanks
Safest thing is to just use a CM7 Rom SD card.
is there a video that shows from step 1 how to flash a rom on the nook and how to get cwm on there? thanks
I'm not 100% sure but I am fairly certain there is no CWM for the 8GB NT and thus those users have been sticking to booting CM7 from an sd card.
Perhaps we should start a donation drive for it...

If you want to run CM7 from your SD card, here are the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22199348&postcount=1
Just download both zips in the SD VERSION IMAGE section, write the image to your SD using the included tool, put SD in your NT, power on.

[Q] Dual Boot Help

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.

Nook Tablet 16GB keeps booting into ClockworkMod. Please help.

I’m not really sure how this happened but I had my Nook Tablet booting CyanogenMod from its internal storage but now it will to only boot into ClockworkMod. Last time I had a problem with the Nook booting I followed the instructions I found on this webpage
raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
but now this method is not working. After the Nook displays the screen that says “Please do not turn off your device, installing new software” it turns off and then I have to turn it back on again by pressing the power button. The Nook just goes right back into ClockworkMod. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to return my Nook to factory default software from this state or at least get CyanogenMod back?

Were you on stock OS? Custom rom? Custom kernel? Rooted stock? Cyanoboot? 8GB or 16GB model?
Cyanoboot and my Nook is the 16GB model.

Sorry, I thought Cyanoboot was the rom.
In the about tabler screen it says CyangenMod-7.2.0-RC-acclaim-Team-B for Mod version. Is this the rom?
Yes, you are on cm7. I thought you said you could only boot into clockwork mod?
Cyanoboot is a custom bootloader.
I made a bootable SD card to use for now since I can no longer boot from the Nook internal memory. I would like to be able to use the Nook without having to run off the card.

Okay well whatever you're booting off the sdcard for a rom really isn't applicable to fixing the internal memory.
Have you tried flashing a rom from the internal memory?
CM7 is what I had on the internal memory before this boot loader issue.
Since it's booting into clockwork mod, I tried installing some roms I downloaded and back ups I made from a 8GB Nook stock rom but they won't install. Says install aborted.

If I read this right, it sounds like you tried to restore backups from an 8GB model even though you have a 16gb model? I don't think thats what caused your issue or anything, but I'd just like to note that trying to flash roms/restore backups from different devices is a bad bad idea. The 8GB and 16GB models are, for all intents and purposes, different devices.
Now to address your problem. The fact that you can boot from sdcard is great. And with that knowledge, I would recommend using this method to reformat/reset your nook, allowing you to start over.
I tried to do the flashing of the 8GB back up rom to the 16GB after I had the problem so no, that is not what cause the issue. Thank you for the link I am downloading AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash.tar now and will let you know how it turns out.

Gotta read the threads man. This is how people end up in sticky situations. Read through the thread; I'm fairly certain the 16GB version was smaller than 1.5GB. I could be wrong but the context in which that mirror was posted seemed as if someone was mirroring the 8GB version that was in development.
Is this the 16GB gig one then?

Yeah, looking at the torrent version, it looks like the original file was 1.41GB. The 8GB beta version that never was finished is 1.5GB. Don't use it.

SD Boot of Stock 1.4.3?

I'm looking for the reversal of most guides out there, I want to run cm10 on internal emmc but want to have a bootable stock 1.4.3 of the NT software. I know I can have a backup of it and switch back and forth by flashing cwm then recovering the image, but that is so troublesome.

Can't have nook stock boot on a SD card, sorry. You can run cm10 on a boot able SD card though so it doesn't touch the internal storage.
Thanks for the reply, thats too bad but out of curiosity, aren't the concept pretty much the same?

21APR2013 is a SDC image file and 31MAY2013 is just a .zip file ROM. With the 21APR2013 image file all you need to do is write it to your SD card with win32diskimager and put it in your nook. 31MAY2013 is RC3 (release candidate 3) which is newer than the image file. If you want the newest version I would suggest using the image file first so it can set up the partitions for you, then installing the RC3 .zip with recovery once you start your Nook.
I'd put effort installing an Official CM, they've been updated to stable.

The SDC image isn't official CM, it's a succulent build of CM. There are no SD versions of official CM. I like the SDC versions because I can expand the room in my partitions for more apps.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, and didn't realize this was about new SD card builds. I'm used to the various builds by succulent as being from unofficial builds or paranoid builds. I assumed it wasn't. The last Succulent build I used was from Dec 2012, so it was still unofficial.
But I payed a bit more attention, and it looks like the May one is based off the Official CM RC3 build, which is pre-Stable. I don't think there was an RC4.
He's been focused on the Paranoid and PAC instead of the Official CM.

Yes, first burn the IMG dated 21APR2013 to SD card and then to upgrade: boot into CWM and flash both cm_acclaim_10.1.0-RC3_31MAY2013_HD_SDC.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed-SDC.zip.
You can also create a CM10.1 SD card from scratch with cm_acclaim_10.1.0-RC3_31MAY2013_HD_SDC.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed-SDC.zip by following the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1.

Thanks for confirming the steps. The creating for the image from scratch seems a little complex and also the reason I'm doing on SD first is to test it out and see if I should just ahead and install CM10.1 internally.
I was wondering, with the SD Image does it "root" the Nook Tablet and install the recovery (CWM) internally or is everything on the SD Card. I'm asking because if I decide to install internally, will I nned to figure out how to 'root' and install the recovery internally and how difficult that would be.
Thanks!
EDIT: ok so wrote the 21APR2013 image to 8GB MicroSD card, interted it into the Nook Tablet, switched it on and it just boots into the regular Nook Tablet OS, nothing different. It seems I must have done something wrong but not sure what. The steps seemed pretty easy, download IMG file, format MicroSD card, Write Img using Win32 Disk tool, intsert MicroSD into NT, Turn on NT.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Nothing is installed internally when you run from sd.
Should you want to install interanlly at a later point it is possible to use the sd card you used to run from to boot into recovery, and then install from there. TheROM I use (Succulent CM10) then installs CWM internally, so it's there should I need it again. (For example for backup)

Thanks for the info and the links. After reading the post linked, it mentions that many NT only boot from power off via a powered USB cable and not via the power button. Hmmm, must have missed that bit of info somewhere. I will give that a go later today.
