What I meant was, how can I make the NOF kernel run on the rom I have on sdcard? If I flash it internally it messes up my original nook os.

not sure if it will work, but you can give it a try, but dont blame me if anything goes wrong
1.back up your current bootable sd card in case anything goes wrong.
2.download and unzip the kernel, replace the "boot.img" file in your sd card with the one you found with the zip.
3.copy the module files you found in the zip in the exact directory, which is /system/lib/modules . you can do it in your pc, alternatively, you can do it with root explorer.

These two boot.img files are not interchangeable: the boot.img for installation on emmc is a concatenation of Cyanoboot and CM boot -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539112. On SDcard based ROM image Cyanoboot and CM boot are separate standalone files, flashing_boot.im and boot.img respectively.

so there no other way unlesss you decompile and then recompile it differently, if I understand it right?

Yup.
Why not request the NOF developer for a SD-based ROM version?

[ZIP][RECOVERY] EMMC Recovery Repair

UPDATE: Since some of you guys are still finding this useful, I updated the CWM version to 3.0.2.8. Please note that ROM Manager is the best way to install CWM 3.0.2.8. You should only need this .zip if you need to restore the B&N boot loader.
There are a number of CWM installable .zip files being distributed that break Clockworkmod in a way that Rom Manager will not fix. This .zip file will reinstall the B&N bootloader (to enable the recovery buttons) and install ClockworkMod on your internal memory. This .zip will only help if you have installed a "flashable" .zip and can no longer get into CWM by holding N + Power on boot.
This file can be installed with IOMonster's bootable CWM to re-enable the ability to use CWM without an SD card.
How to use:
1) Create a bootable CWM SD card from the link above.
2) Mount the SD card on your computer and copy the RecoveryFix.zip file to it.
3) Boot the Nook into CWM from the SD card.
4) Choose "install zip from sdcard"
5) Choose "choose zip from sdcard"
6) Browse to the RecoveryFix.zip and select it.
7) Choose "Yes - Install RecoveryFix.zip"
CWM should now work by booting and holding the N + Power buttons.
Technical details:
The bootloader (u-boot.bin) file included with the stock image has code to look for the recovery key sequence on boot. It also contains the "Touch the Future of Reading" splash screen. Some of the update .zip releases include a custom uboot.bin (to change the splash screen) that does not look for the recovery keys...so there's no way to boot into recovery without an SD.
Currently the only automated way to put the correct files back is by using one of the stock recovery .zips. These take the entire system back to stock though. All this .zip does is replace the stock u-boot.bin file, CWM uRecRam and CWM uRecImg files on the /boot partition. This can also be easily fixed by booting any image from an SD card and copying these files manually.
is this for use with any flashable rom or only certain ones? i'm on hcv4 and want to make sure this is safe to use before flashing it.
This worked fantastic! Thank you!

This is a standalone fix - its only necessary if you've flashed a rom and could no longer boot into CWM recovery afterward.
thanks again xawen!

It should work with any build. It does not replace any of the build specific files, just the boot loader and the recovery images.
Works on phiremod (CM7). I was stressing why I couldn't reach my internal recovery, but was too lazy to do any research on the matter. Just stumbled upon this and everything is fixed again
Just what I was looking for... thanks!

what do you mean by "everything is fixed again"?
I like phiremod and all, but no internal storage is irking me and I want to go back to rooted stock and try to make a CM7 bootable SD.
Flashed this, now I'm stuck on the "Touch the Future of Reading" splash screen. Running CM7 nightly latest, dalingrin's 1100MHz Overclock.
Edit: Trying to boot, won't get past that damn splash screen. Tried reflashing cm7-encore-full-5.zip, gapps, got nothing. Going to try flashing the overclock again and see if that helps.
Edit2: No dice. I don't have a backup, either. Guess I have to flash a whole new boot.img?
This should be stickied. There are a LOT of CWR files around here right now.

Same thing kept happening to me. I would hold down the power button or power+n button or power+volume up + n button to get the NC to shut down. Then, I'd press the power+volume up + n button for a few seconds; this would get it to boot into CWR. From CWR I'd select reboot system. After that it would have no problem fully booting (until the problem happeend again). I did notice that after a while the startup boot took longer. After pressing the power button to power on the NC it would take several seconds before the "touch the future of reading" screen to come up, and it would take several more seconds (30 or so) for it to get past that screen.
I'm not sure what the beneft is of doing this; as long as I have a CWR bootable microSD with me (always in the NC's case) I don't need this.

This .zip has the stock (B&N) u-boot.bin and the uRecRam and uRecImg for CWM 3.0.0.5. It was built a while ago to fix an issue with specific CMW installable Froyo .zip files that were being distributed. I haven't seen any CM7 images with this problem, but if anyone still has a need for this I can update to a current CWM version and post tonight.

Aha - I looked more closely and saw that it is an old thread that was brought to the surface by a "thanks" comment.
question
So I flash this fix and can get into CWM 3.0.0.5, then I flash the official CWM 3.0.1.0 and can no longer get into recovery. I also tried the manual procedure using adb. Still no dice.

[Q] Upgrading to ICS including other tweaks

Hi,
I'm kinda new to flashing and upgrading my phone.
Therefore I got some questions:
Currently running on my Neo: AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA with kernel provided there
Baseband says: 56 as last two digits
I would like to upgrade my baseband to 62. (latest)?
As far as I understood I will have to flash 4.0.2.A.0.62 Baseband using flashtool.
Do I have to flash the kernel again after upgrading baseband or should I flash the 4.0.2.A.0.62 Kernel first and change it afterwards?
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Will changing the baseband or kernel delete anything?
When would be the right time to apply the RAISE your NEO userdata space patch? Before or after baseband, kernel flash?
Sometimes they say that a reboot is required after flashing a new ROM before flashing an update.zip in CWM. Do I have to reboot at other times?
Is there a tool or a possibility I missed which can flash anything like baseband, kernel, ROM and updates to it in one step?
If I want to edit a ROM like directly changing bootanimation and ringtones.
How should the zip file be packed? No compression, etc?
Is it a good idea to include updates which I would have flashed in CWM directly into the ROMs zip file?
Do I have to flash the kernel again after upgrading baseband or should I flash the 4.0.2.A.0.62 Kernel first and change it afterwards?

Kernel is not related to baseband. Simply flash baseband, no need to flash kernel after or before.
Will changing the baseband or kernel delete anything?

Flashing baseband won't delete anything, but flashing kernel might. I see that kernel in that thread have CWM inside, so if you flash stock kernel you will lose that.

Yes, they say that so that ROM "settles down in it's place" then you can install fixes and stuff.
What other times?
Is there a tool or a possibility I missed which can flash anything like baseband, kernel, ROM and updates to it in one step?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is flashtool, but only for stock rom's. Custom roms are installed as a .zip file via CWM recovery.
If I want to edit a ROM like directly changing bootanimation and ringtones.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can do that with root explorer app(or any app which can access to system), create that bootanimation.zip on pc and upload it to sdcard, then move it to where it needs to be. For bootanimation.zip, yes, it's with no compression. How it's created, check other bootanimation.zip's over the net.
For other zip's which are flashed trough CWM, it's a bit more complicated to explain how to create them.
Is it a good idea to include updates which I would have flashed in CWM directly into the ROMs zip file?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well depends. Most likely yes, but I would still ask creator/porter of each rom if that is advisable

Thank you very much.
But in this point there was a misunderstanding.
I just wanted to know how the update.zip or rom.zip has to be packed and if it's save to replace bootanimation.zip inside rom.zip. Are there any checksums for apk or other files inside an CWM update.zip I need to change?
Most of the ICS based ROMs use MT15i_Neo_ICS_Kernel_V1.img. Where does it come from and where is it's original thread?
if it's save to replace bootanimation.zip inside rom.zip. Are there any checksums for apk or other files inside an CWM update.zip I need to change?
its safe to change bootanimations.zip and any other apk or file in side the provided update.zip file
but if u extract it n do changes then u will lose the signature of the developer n wont b able to install the update.zip properly

Yes of course. If original zip file flashed and runs nice it will be my fault if it won't after my edits.
So no checksums in the update.zip directly. Thanks.
Signing of an altered apk file is required. Got it.
And I figured that there is no signing of the bootanimation possible.
Will post my question regarding the kernel in an extra thread.

Here's how:
Download any flashable internal recovery zip file (e.g., flashable_CWM_6.0.2.9.zip from Succulent's repo http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery).
Use an archive file manager such as 7-zip to delete and replace the recovery.img inside the flashable zip file with your choice of TWRP (internal recovery) file from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/acclaim (e.g., openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-acclaim.img); remember to rename the downloaded TWRP .img file to recovery.img before inserting it into the zip file.
Flash the resulting flashable recovery zip file using current EMMC recovery or SD-based recovery.

[Q] root question??

I have an 8gb nook tablet that I rooted probably 2 and a half years ago and haven't changed anything on it since. I am wanting to undo and update to current root and flash a 4.4 rom like on my phone. What is the best way to go about this? I know how to unroot, I just need to know the best way to root currently. Thanks.
Custom ROMs like CM comes with built-in root capability, and moreover once installed replaces completely the existing ROM currently in place (be it stock ROM, rooted stock ROM, or another custom ROM). As such, there is no need to root (or re-root) prior to flashing a custom ROM. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575489 for more background info and pointers.
Cool, thanks for the reply and links. I have some reading to do.

It should work (with the usual caveat YMMV). Flashing CM11 requires CWM version 6.0.4.5 or later, or TWRP version 2.6.3.0 or later (in step 2(b) of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123); you can find the SD version of TWRP 2.6.3.x at http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/acclaim. You also need a recent Gapps version corresponding to the CM11.
Alternatively, if your NT is already on CM10.x (as my NT was), you can:
download CM11 ROM and the corresponding Gapps zip files onto your NT (user content media partition).
use SD based recovery to flash a flashable emmc CWM zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48855275&postcount=2) or flashable emmc TWRP zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49111924&postcount=8) into emmc.
remove SD then boot onto emmc recovery (which is installed in step 2) and use it to install the ROM and Gapps zip files downloaded in step 1.
Remember to use SD based recovery to backup your current ROM before flashing CM.
I need help once again. In step 2a. of Installing CM10.1 Internally on Nook Tablet, I do not see the boot.zip with the 3 files needed and I am not sure how to extract them from the .img file from the pre-made SDcard images. I've only used linux like once and that was to root my Droid DNA. Thank you for your patience with me.
Nevermind...I found a Linux Reader program that let me extract them.
Thanks again.

For future reference, you can use 7-zip (which is available for windows) to open .img files and extract its content.

[Dev][Guide][JB+KK] Dedicated recovery/boot.cpio partition

Hi there!
Today I finally found how to make our codinas' kernels universal, i.e. allow to install kernel on whatever ROM and finally separate recovery from kernel. It's well known, bootloader decides what will be loaded - kernel or recovery. That probably may explain why AnyKernel installer(or other similar) doesn't work on codina, because we can't move recovery partition anywhere.
But there is also a little trick that allow us load recovery and boot.cpio from different partition - https://github.com/ChronoMonochrome/Chrono_Kernel/commit/df9094f1f12618ad9599da266792d6b2f8106170 - just an another approach
Don't worry, we won't touch bootloader at all.
As can be seen, /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 (kernel2 partition) will be used for storing recovery.cpio and boot.cpio. On stock that may not work (I don't know for what exactly uses Kernel2 partition, besides of manually restoring of kernel1 partition. I only know that is almost useless on custom ROMs, and we can use it as we want )
First do some preparations:
Download this kernel and needed recovery/boot scripts(4.4.x.cpio.zip, 4.4.x_f2fs.cpio.zip, etc... 4.4.x.cpio means that it support only ext4) from my google drive (folder ramdisks), unzip recovery (twrp or cwm) and rename to recovery.cpio, then move it to external SD card. Then do it with boot scripts that you've downloaded (e.g. 4.4.x_f2fs.cpio.zip - unzip and rename to boot.cpio)
Well, that all that needs for installation. Read following instruction very carefully, otherwise that may cause brick Keep in mind, all that you do at your own risk! I'm not responsible if you brick your phone!
Installation method:
1) reboot into recovery, plug your phone to your PC, enable adb:
Code:
adb shell
2) Format kernel2 partition to ext4 file system:
Code:
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Think twice before you hit 'enter' button - wrong command may cause hardbrick!
3) create /ramdisk folder and mount kernel2 partition
Code:
mkdir /ramdisk
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /ramdisk
move your recovery.cpio and boot.cpio to this folder, give 777 permissions:
Code:
chmod 777 /ramdisk/recovery.cpio
chmod 777 /ramdisk/boot.cpio
4) install downloaded kernel
Now you can change recovery via changing /ramdisk/recovery.cpio - just make a backup of this file, and then replace with one of another recoveries. If you want to install another ROM or change filesystem of partition then replace /ramdisk/boot.cpio with one of needed boot scripts. Don't forget to give 777 permission (probably 644 is enough, but I didn't test it) to both of these files.
This method tested and working on 4.4.x TC ROM + twrp recovery + kernel with full F2FS support.
Well, now it's time to create uncompressed kernel, that may slightly decrease the boot time
@ChronoMonochrome
Thanks. do you mean that kernel2 partition is useless in stock and cyanogenmod firmware?
Is it right that boot loader will read kernel1 partition then it will read system partition? and kernel2 is not necessary for booting?
I have installed new universal kernel (2.5) , so I flashed new ramdisk for 4.4.x , can I roll back to older versions or stock firmware with this ramdisk or I should restore Partition17 backup?

As it turned out, it's unneeded even on stock. So if you won't restore kernel2 partition, nothing will happen.

Ok, thanks , But why do you mount kernel2 partition inside of OS? As I understand boot.cpio is necessary before booting OS . And inside of OS is just an extra storage! (is that true?)

Yes and no, is 16 Mb big enough to be called "storage"? I did it, just to be able replace ramdisks even without booting to recovery. But newest boot scripts doesn't have it.

just redownload bootscripts(kernel/ramdisks), as I said, newest scripts doesn't mount kernel2 partition.

There is an Image named boot.img in kernel flashable zip archive that extracts into partition 15 (named kernel) as I understood is recovery (TWRP or CWM) image and you wont touch linux orginal image , and your modified custom kernel is new modules for linux image that loads while booting (sry, I cant explain fine), So what is recovery.cpio that is in recovery flashable zip image that extracts into partition 17 (named kernel2) ?

In my mod kernel(mmcblk0p15) and recovery (mmcblk0p17) are splitted.
Thank you. I see.
This is probably the best (and only?) way to rebuild the ramdisk without having to compile anything, which is an excellent base for my NoUMS patches
:good:
