[Q] CM from SD with no Cyanoboot (or any boot) - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hi guys, searching on the forum I noticed that all the SD version from CM10 needs one bootloader like cyanoboot and I'm having troubles installing it. Does anybody knows where can I find a SD version of CM10 which doesn't need Cyanoboot and starts directly from SDCard?
thanks

This image includes Cyanoboot, AFAIK, but no need for any separate installing. Download, burn (increase partition if you want to - you probably do), pop in device and go!

[Q] rooted long ago, now want CM

i rooted my NT about a year ago when i got it (i don't recall the specific method used), and have been clunking along with it for months, but now i want to install CM 7, 9, or 10.
most of the guides start with "Stock 1.4.3" but my software version says "9.9.9" after root (iirc, it was 1.4.1 when i received it).
can i use these guides with the rooted 9.9.9 version i have?
or are there special instructions for 9.9.9 (maybe an abbreviated version since i am already rooted?)
or do i somehow have to go from 9.9.9 back to 1.4.1 or 1.4.3?
thanks for any assistance, and if you need more information from me, i'll see if i can provide it.
That 9.9.9 just means that you've blocked ota update and it doesn't matter at all.

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626 for how to install CM10; if you'd like to use a different CM10 build just substitute in the zip file for that ROM build in step 2(c).

thanks!! i'll follow your guide (there are so many floating around that i never quite know which are still considered applicable. yours looks great.). is that applicable to both rooted and stock? i have a buddy who got a NT recently, so i am trying to test out CM10 before recommending it, but mine is rooted stock and his is unrooted stock.

Yes, the installation will over-write whatever is currently in emmc (and that's why it's recommended that you back up the current config).
FWIW, your buddy can keep his stock ROM and try running CM10 off an SD card (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35946501#post35946501), and decide later whether to replace his stock ROM with it.
I have complete stock 1.4.3 and have been running off of a CM7 sd card since the beginning of summer. I'm ready to upgrade to the emmc version of CM10, but do I need to root the BN ROM first? I want to install this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773362 I would "burn" the recovery.img to my sd card and install the .zip onto the emmc, right? This is my first time flashing an internal ROM and want to be sure.

No, you need to first create a “bootable” clockworkmod (CWM) recovery SD, then rename the referenced recovery-0.08.3.img to recovery.img and copy it as well as referenced cm10-acclaim-0.08.3-full-of-bugs.zip and the file gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip to the card. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1 for an overview of the process for installing CM10 ROM on the NT internal emmc.

Thanks for the help! I'm a little confused though, do I use the SD card or the emmc version of CWM to make the bootable SD? Does the emmc version flash CWM to the nook and from there do I install the files from a SD, or does it boot from the SD and allow me to flash ROMs to the emmc?
Also, if I'm using the CWM .img what's the purpose of the recovery.img on the card if all I'm flashing are the .zips? I would imagine the ROM .zip instructs it to flash the recovery.img but the CM10 thread says you can use an older CM9 recovery.img.
Sorry for all the questions! Thanks again!

The recovery version you need to put on the SDcard is the sdcard version (not the emmc version); recovery is the tool that manages the flashing of the ROM/gapps zip files onto the NT, clearing of cache, backing up current ROM & apps, etc.
The emmc version of recovery is for flashing onto the NT and is used presumably for "performing recovery" without external SDcard. Some ROM packages include a recovery.img but not all do (in which case the recovery.img on the NT remains the stock recovery).
I just spent the last hour and a half trying to get a bootable CWM 6 sd card. First I thought I would need to boot into CWM but couldn't get that to work (I vaguely remember doing that to set up my CM7 SD card). Then I realized I can boot into cyanoboot and flash it through that. Using various methods, including the link you provided, I can't find a definite step-by-step guide. In the guide you provided I followed the steps but am stuck on step 5. When I go into SDC Recovery I don't see backup options anywhere, I see a list of recovery options. Here's what I see http://i3.minus.com/inttvFzHpVF88.jpg
Here are the files on the SD card http://i1.minus.com/ibgXFOKRf8DObb.png
Do you have any idea what's going on?
Did you press the Home button "N" to select SDC Recovery? If so, do you have screen-capture of resulting screen?

I tried to get back to the same screen to take a pic when it finally booted into CWM! I guess it takes a few tries to get it to boot. I chose the backup option and it started copying files for a few minutes until it got stuck on a file. It's been stuck on it for the last hour. http://i.minus.com/ivJa6tBF5tl9i.JPG
If I turn it off I have the chance of corrupting the file but since I don't really plan to go back to stock it wouldn't really matter anyway. The card might be full, but I only had like 100 MB of files on there.
If you don't plan to go back to stock, there is no need to back up (worst case you can get the stock ROM from https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard).
If you have more problems you might want to check out your sd card (if need be reformatting it with sd formatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/).

I finally got everything to work! Thanks for helping me!
The CM10 thread says to now install CWM to emmc using fastboot. I know it's optional but I want it just in case. I looked it up and installed fastboot but which recovery should I use? The recovery-0.08.3 from the thread or the CWM recovery?
Yes, although it's probably easier to use your same CWM SD (which you just used to flash CM10 ROM and gapps) to flash one of the two flash_CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_emmc.zip or flash_CM9-10_TWRP_v2.2.2.0_8-16gb_tools_emmc.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958.

Works like a charm, thanks again!
I have one last question: Is there a way I can increase the 1GB data partition? I know android needs space for apps and such but I think a 4GB data partition is reasonable. I have a DVD of Ubuntu so I can access GParted if I need to. If you don't know or don't think I should mess with it that's completely fine, I have a 32GB micro SD that I'm going to use (my current CM7 card) but just want the extra internal space.
The data partition is for apps you download, the media content can go to the Nook media partition or SDcard. If you have many apps with large storage footprint you will likely need extra space. There are tools and methods for repartitioning on XDA (I have not needed to use them), just do a Google search I am sure they will turn up.

[Q] NT With CM7 & CM10 Cannot recognize WIFI

I am new at rooting, this is the first device I have tried to root. I followed the thread for a triple boot CM7 , CM9 and CM10 (also stock OS) from Malloneem. I decided to only flash CM7 and CM10 to NT 1.4.3. Everything worked great, except during the initial setup of both CM7 and CM10 it will not recognize my WiFi. I have tried twice, after first time I wiped NT and reformatted the sd card and started from scratch. same result both times.
I read through the replies and noticed that someone else had the same problem. the response said to wipe the cache and it should fix the dalvik. I wiped both the cache then tried and then wiped the dalvik and had the same results. With the CM10 it says "turning on wifi" and stays there.
I am a new member to xda so I cannot post a reply to the original thread.
Any help would be much appreciated.
If I cannot get this to work is there another method where you can use CM10 and stock OS? (something that is extreamly easy to follow)

You can use this:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/
Write the image file to an SD card and you'll be good to go. You can use a repartitioning software to expand the partitions on your SD if you want. Use the instructions on the link I provided.
The SD card image will contain CM10.1 4.1.2. If you want to use a different ROM you can download the SDC version of any ROM ( has to be SDC!), place the zip on your SD card or internal storage. Boot into SDC recovery and installed the zip file. You'll need the GAPPS zip also (which has to be SDC also.)
Thank you for the help. My appologies for the redundant question but when I flash this ROM I will be able to bounce between CM10 and the stock B& N OS correct?

Yes. Because CM 10 will be on your SD card. Stock will be on your internal. If your internal partitions or anything is messed up ( maybe the reason you can't boot stock) you can tell from CM.

Thank you again. I have read throught the instructions on the link you provided and I am a little confused on the partitioning part. As I mentioned before this is my first time rooting anything. The instructions on the triple boot regarding the partitioning of the sdc were clear giving sizes for the newly created partitions etc., I didn't see that on this link (unless I missed it). Could you explain it so a newbie can understand it?

Well is there any reason why you would like triple boot? You need a fairly good size SD card if you want three systems. I just provided the simplest way to run cm on the nook. Write the image to your SD card and it will make it boot able. If you want to triple boot then setup your SD card partitions like you had before, but you only need to install the zips as alt boots.
Again, you probably don't need triple boot. Cm10+ has everything you'll need.

No, I dont need the triple boot. Being a newbie I may have misread something (probably the case) but the link you gave me directed me to partition the sd card. it was this portion that was not clear to me. I was referencing the directions for partitioning on the triple boot thread as a comparison. The site you gave me said to partition the card but gave reference as to how big to make each partition. I don't need the triple boot.
My kid uses the NT to help read (read to me, etc...) I wanted something to get more of a tablet feel while keeping the stock system as well.
Thank you again. I appreciate the help. I will look at it again.

On the iamafanof site you can scroll down there will be an SDC image. There is a difference between the image and the zips. All you need to do is download the SDC image, write it go your SD card using an file writer ( win32 disk writer will do) and your SD card will be ready to boot. Put it in your nook and and it will boot cyanoboot and should automatically do a SDC boot. It takes a little bit for the first boot to start ( usually 2 or 3 minutes)
Once you get your nook to boot cm I can tell you how to expand your SD partitions to hold more apps.
If you still have problems with WiFi it may be a different problem ( shouldn't happen).
If you need help or need a step by step guide I can find one or make one for you.

You have 4 partitions on your SD card: boot, system, data, sdcard. Your boot partition holds the files the boot CM. This is where recovery, mlo, uboot, etc is. System holds files essential for the ROM to work.
The only two you need to worry about are data and SD. Your data partitions holds apps. That is when you download an app the files in the apk file are put there. This would be like your internal storage for any phone or tablet. SD card is like an external SD card for your phone or tablet. Its where extra data files, photos, music etc go.
Depending on what size of SD card you have determines how big you can expand your data or SD partition.
Using a partitioning software ( like GParted) you can change the partitions and expand them to the side you want. I have a 16 GB SD card. So I expanded my data partition to 4 GB, and the rest went to SD card. Its okay to delete data or SD partition to expand it, but don't delete boot or system because you'll have to reformat the card and write the image file to the card again ( and ain't nobody got time for that.)

[Q] rooting for dummies

hello
trying to root to cm10
using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123
have some question:
Installing CM10.1 Internally on Nook Tablet
Using a disk partition tool (such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) create on SD card a Primary FAT32 partition, and set the partition ID type for the partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag. Once this is done, the partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows. If you are going to use this card for backing up your NT, keep in mind that each backup will require at least 600MB (for a barebone stock or CM config) and size the partition accordingly. dont' care of any backups...
Obtain and copy to the SD card the following files:
MLO, u-boot.bin, and flashing_boot.img in boot.zip obtained from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim i don't see any MLO and u-boot.bin are not in the list ????
either one of the two recovery program image files: cwm_6.0.2.8_acclaim_recovery_sdcard.img (ClockworkMod Recovery (aka CWM)), or twrp_2.4.3.0_acclaim_recovery_sdcard.img (TeamWin Recovery Project (aka TWRP)) from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery , rename it to recovery.img. If you want to try out (or use) both, name your alternate choice altboot.img. which one would u suggest to use?
the file cm_acclaim_10.1.0_29JUN2013_HD.zip from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/...k-tablet-0218/

Because Windows only sees the boot partition. The boot partition is very small (2-300 MB?), and the 70 MB is the unused space in that partition (or possibly the whole partition. It's unclear from what you say.).
Minitool sees the whole card and allows you to assign more space to any partitions, or create new partitions (that WIndows won't see, but your NT will).
That's really not a rooting issue. Do you have a problem with the actual process? If so, what kind of problem?

Do not hold the "n" while pressing power. First power and then relase power and press "n". Or just have it turend off and no USB cable connected, insert sd-card and insert USB cbale cnnected to charger.

1. Download, extract and burn this ready-made CM10 sd image to a 2 GB (?) (or larger - not 100% sure of the size since I use a larger card myself) sd card. Use this card as a bootable CWM card. Even if it's a complete run-able CM10 it also works as a bootable CWM! Very handy!
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ t's a big download, but it's a more or less fool proof way of doing it! If I remember correctly there is actually room enough to put CM10 and GApps on the card. At least the one I use.
2. Boot into the recocvery of that card by pressing the "n" right after the power button and then hold the "n" to get to boot menu
3. In boot menu choose "sd recovery" ot something similar. This will take you to CWM
4. When in CWM install zips, wipe cache and Dalvik and you should be fine! it says there are no zip to install

Have you put any zips on the card you have inserted? You have to decide what ROM to install, download it and the approiate gApps for it and put on the sd card.
I'm sorry I linked to post where I didn't make that clear enough. I do say that there is enough room on the card for it and I also suggest a ROM to put there, But I guess a "for dummies" need to be clearer on that...
At the bottom of the quoted post
Edit: I checked, and there IS enough room for my favourite ROM and gApps on the boot section of the card. "My favourite" is the 1231 build on Iamafanof site. I have tried more recent ones, but I always go back to this one. Just my opinion of course! http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...let-uploading/

When I make this card there is enough room for CM10 and gApps zips on it. There should be for you as well. If not, use another card. You can switch onec in CWM.

[Q] how to update cwm

ok so I took my nook to barns and noble to have them change the partition todays since my computer and adb are not working well together. Ive ran the sd_root_NT16or8bgV4_7 which installs cwm v5.0.2.8. Ive got the 6.0.1.2-bootable_SD which is where i would like to go to since thats where my backup is at. Ive tried to use win32DiskImage to burn the image to the SD card. The preoblem im running into is that my nook will not boot off that image. Im currentl on software version 1.4.2 aswell. The long term goal for me is to be able to flash a few different cm10's and find one that my wife likes the best. Thanks for any help guys

Stock B&N to CM11

First i need to thank @digixmax @raywaldo and @chrmhoffmann
Without the tools and guides created by them my nook would be still in bootloop or with the stock B&N soft (eww)
My nook crashed after a TWRP recovery flash gone wrong (TWRP Manager), so i had to flash repart.img (stock B&N).
After that my nook was alive again but without touch (multitouch firmware installed).
Below it´s how i went from stock to CM11, but i'm not responsible for any bricked nooks so...
1.Using a disk partition tool, s create a primary FAT32 partition, and set it as active on the MicroSD that you will use to boot, and remember that the card will be wiped so don´t use your mom´s camera card.
2. A. Download (attached to this post) "NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip" and extract all the files to the root of your SDCard.
B. flashable_TWRP_2.6.3.1.zip @ https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xjwc1a482a6ll/Nook_Tablet
C. CM11 http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim
D. Gapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857 or
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The files in step 2A MUST be on the card root, B to D can be inside a folder but it´s not needed
3. Eject the card from your computer, and install it in your nook. Power it up.
4. It will boot and show the box screen then straight to TWRP 2.7.1.0.
In TWRP go to WIPE -> Advanced wipe -> Check all except Internal storage and Micro SDcard.
After it´s done wiping, go back to start screen and Install CM11, Gapps and last the flashable recovery.
Click reboot -> Power off
5. Remove SDcard from nook and power on.
If everything went correct you will see cyanoboot and after booting CyanogenMod.

Not sure if you can help with this but after following your instructions I find myself stuck. I have an 8 gb NT and can't seem to make the device boot with the formatted and loaded SD in the SD card slot on the device. I'm not sure why but it just won't boot while it's in there. The card is fine as I was using it before (It's a 4 gb sandisk). Any help would be appreciated.

Root?
I just finished updating my 16gb Nook Tablet with this guide, using the latest nightly CM11 build.
In the past, I thought CM builds are pre-rooted, but this isn't.
I rechecked my options in TWRP (bootable on an SD card) and CMW (installed on emmc)... I recall a brief moment where TWRP asked me about root access, but I don't recall where...
Can anyone point me in the right direction to establishing root?
Any input is appreciated.
(I suppose I could wipe and reflash if necessary as well)
** Self edit - Latest nightly (installed from CM update) established root.

So I am just coming into here wanting to root my 16GB Nook Tablet version 1.4.3. I have been looking around the forums for a bit and have not found a specific thread outlining what I need to do. Well most of them are old and I am not sure which ones to follow.
The first thing I need to do is establish root, but how exactly do I go about that. Most of the video tutorials are dead links. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks is an understatement!
In response to OP and idivorceyou:
I had a very similar situation myself. Read many/most of the other 10.x & 11 guides; all seemed to reference the same stuff. Could not get a custom card to work. Suspect that I had downloaded a bad .zip (or two). Found this guide and figured it was worth a shot. Card booted first try and everything worked as written.
Hope those looking for a quick solution find this post sooner than I did.
Has anyone successfully accomplished this installation on the 8GB Nook Tablet?
I've been having massive amounts of trouble getting mine to boot from the SD card. I'd like to give this a try if it will in fact work with both the 8 and 16GB NTs.
Cheers!

Recent CM10/11 should work on both 8GB and 16GB NTs.

Thanks, digixmax! I know some things only work with the 16GB model and I didn't want to brick.
I'll get cracking on it.
So on a whim, I decided to try this guide to go completely CM11 on the Nook. Had a little trouble getting a bootable SD card, but worked that out. After the wipe, and then using TWRP to flash the nightly CM11 - it looked like it completed, but then gave an error saying it was unable to mount /bootdata. I repeated the flashing a couple of times and it still had that message. Flashing gapps and the flash TWRP gave me the same error message. But then after rebooting the device - it does boot to CM11 using the internal storage! It works OK, it seemed like it was freezing a lot and so I enabled Developer access, and then put a limit of "2" on background processes - that seemed to fix the freezing. But now, when installing some applications/games from the Google Play store, getting a message that I need an SDCard. I'm going to try putting in an SDCard later to see if that works...but wondering if we should have partitioned the internal storage? Its a 16GB nook, so maybe two partition with the last one being /DATA? Anyone run into this issue? Thanks.

This issue of dependency on external SD in CM11 has been reported and discussed on these forums (e.g., just search the Official NT CM11 thread).
You'd need to go back to 10.1 or 10.0 to be able to run any app without an external SD.

Thank you digixmax! Yes, I did do a full wipe using TWRP (per the instruction in OP's post). And yeah, I put in an external SD card, it works fine now.

Just wanted to send out a thank you to everyone who continues to work on these relatively outdated devices. Although this thread is for CM11, I just loaded CM10.0 internally onto my wife's unused Nook Tablet (16 gig, v.1.4.3) as a gift for my retired father. I posted here because I used the TWRP boot files provided in this thread (NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip), and was previously having problems getting booted correctly (trying CM11 and CM10). I also used the general steps in Digimax's 10.x guide (e.g. backing up the old system, using the older, flashable CWM 6.0.2.x and GApps for CM10.0), and Succulent's final, supposedly quite stable CM10.0 (12/31) build (also pulled from another thread, not the CM site). Given my father's and the tablet's age, I figured system stability was more important than anything else so went with CM10.0 instead of CM11. Everything appears to be running great, cat videos and all.
A few newbie notes relevant to this process (for probably CM11 and CM10). I could not get a bootable microSD card working using Digimax's guide (see the error mentioned in his note i.b, although files did not appear corrupted by examining file size). I wonder if it had to do with the large microSD card I used (32 gig) -- I could swear I remember reading that bigger cards have some issues -- or the additional boot.img file provided by Rpadula in his NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip. When things did work for me, I had both set the partition size to 2 gb on the microSD card and used files in Rpadula's zip, so it is unclear what made the difference. I also ran into the mounting and zip installation error described above, but after allowing TWRP to grant me root access -- an option presented during restart after wiping -- and restarting the nook, the files installed fine (again, unclear whether or not root access or restarting made the difference).
Thanks again all!

For a noobie this was pretty straight forward for building the SDCard. I am in CM11 on my Nook Tablet! I am having one issue though and I don't know if this is the best place to ask - I am getting "Browser as stopped working" and "Google Account Manager has stopped working" anytime I try to login to my google account or even open the stock web browser. I have tried rebooting and wiping. I also did some digging and found this may be related to a webview issue and tried flashing a fix I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50122471&postcount=2161 but still no luck. Can anyone help me get past this bug?

I used the advanced wipe in TWRM as described in OP. Could it be related to a bad GApps zip I grabbed? The link in OP was closed so I got it from somewhere else (using gapps-custom-pico-4.4zip). Not sure if that could affect the Browser too though. Also, after every package I installed I got "E:/Unable to mount '/bootdata'. This obviously didn't affect me getting CM11 on there, but just throwing some more info out there.
Edit: I did a full wipe and reinstalled without GApps and I can't test the Google Account Manager now but the Browser works. What GApps zip would you recommend for this build?

I'd suggest you try the Gapps at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps (the "small" version should suffice), the apps are a bit dated but after installation can be updated (via Google Playstore) to their most current version..
