CWM defaults to wrongs sd card - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Using CWM v6.0.4.5 and CM11 on a Nook Tablet 8.
I've been playing with CM 10.1 and 10.2, installing everything manually
with CWM5x. Recently updated CWM and am now running CM11. (no TWRP).
For the first time I am trying to install nightlies using Settings/AboutTablet/CyanogenModUpdates. It downloads then reboots to CWM. CWM then cannot find the update (E:failed to open /storage/sdcard0/cmupdater/cm-11-...) because in the first step of the updater leaves the zip on sdcard1:
(/storage/sdcard1/cmupdater/cm-11-...) I can manually install the zip from sdcard1 but I want to get the automated update to complete as intended.
I tried to begin the process with no SD card installed thinking that sdcard0 is internal but the download just waits until a SD card is inserted. Since I installed CWM6 I have the ability to choose from sdcards 0 and 1. Don't remember having that choice before.
Any ideas how I can get the download destination and the CWM to default to the same drive?

i personally have never been able to download a cm update and let it update automatically. if i do, it turns into a bootloop or something crazy. i jus use the cm update to download. and then instal via cwm. also the previous cwm DID have the "storage 1 or storage 0: choices but it was called instead, "choose sd card" or "choose internal storage" sd card meaning the "1" and internal meaning the "0". i mean from wut i understand the structure of the system in NT doesnt really allow auto update. because it has to work around the stock barnes and noble bootloader. unlike the nook color where its capable of auto update. so basically u always have to manual update unless ive got my hands on a demon tablet.

More detail
Mine worked fine ... even w/ CM11 until I did a factory reset (prior to that I just cleared cache and davlik) ... now I have to install from CMUpdater folder manually ... also - some of the apps that were available prior to the factory reset will not show up in the play store now - TV Guide and Playmaker (buzztime trivia) specifically ... says I have an incompatible device now ... again this worked fine w/ the early nightlies of CM11, but not since the factory reset.

You might want to check (from your PC) Google Play Store -> Settings -> My Devices and see if your NT appears as different models before and after the factory reset.
I had a similar problem in that after the upgrade from 10.2.0 to 11 some apps became unavailable ("incompatible") in the Play Store, include a few already installed apps that still run just fine after the "dirty" flash of 11 on top of 10.2!!!

Interesting ... it shows the nook tablet, but says it was last used in August ... what if anything can be done about this?

Another potential factor at play here is that somewhere between 10.1 and 11 (I can't recall which release) the serial number of the NT no longer gets picked up by CM (and presumably passed onto apps/services that might use it for tracking purpose).

Can I do anything about it? The thing is basically a blank slate at this point because I haven't re-installed most of my apps ... if I'm going to mess with it in a major way now is the time.

Updating again and I find that the reason for it not working is that the drive designations are not consistent.
Running Android:
Internal storage is /storage/sdcard1
External SD card is /storage/sdcard0
Running CWM:
Internal storage is /storage/sdcard0
External SD card is /storage/sdcard1
So when settings/AboutTablet/CyanogenModUpdates passes the file location and reboots into CWM, the zip file can't be found.

[Q] CMW Cant mount SD card, please help!

Hi,
I have not long bought my first tablet - its an ly-f1 / alldro speed etc clone. It came with android 4.0.4 and was already rooted. Play store access isn't bad for standard, i have found most things i have looked for, although some say device is not compatible - for example the speedtest.net app and itv player. There's some it cant find either like grand theft auto 3 for example.
The performance for the tablet is ok but i understand a custom rom could improve it and also give better play store access/compatibility. So i started looking at what roms were available, i found troys CM9 and CM10, so wanted to try CM9 first. This is where i started running into problems. Mainly finding everything i needed - CMW, ADB drivers etc.. oh and mounting the sdcard! as below..
I managed to find CMW 6 for the ly-f1, which i copied across onto the tablet and ran using a shell to install it. I copied across the CM9, compatibility and gapps zip files to the internal sdcard. So far so good, however......
when i rebooted into CMW and went to "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from internal sdcard" it comes up saying "cant mount /emmc/"
If i try "choose zip from sdcard" rather than internal sdcard, it says "cant mount /sdcard" - to be expected as i dont have one in it! but i cant figure out why the internal one doesn't work and the whole thing is doing my head in! so need help!
When the tablet is on i can get into the internal sdcard fine and if i connect it to the pc i can see it fine. I've looked around google and the forums and tried a few various things with no joy - for example i tried copying everything off the internal sdcard and formatting it - done this through the android setttings and through windows - both fat32 and ntfs just to see, none made any difference.
I then thought i'd try find another version of CMW in case it was that, i found a version 5 which is when i required the ADB drivers as it was a different method for installing it - got it installed and it rebooted into CMW but i had the exact same problem, still cant mount it, so i am still unable to flash to a new rom.
Am i missing something?? I am quite new to all this so not sure if i need to do anything else first or for this to work such as new kernels or something? Is there another method i can use to flash the device? I know theres livesuite but not sure if this is suitable for CM9 since theres 3 zips that need installed? i cant understand why it cant mount the internal sdcard, any ideas??
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
D
Can anyone please help? I want to flash CM9 or CM10 as above.
I found a version 5 and 6 of cwm for the ly-f1/clones and installed it, can reboot into recovery but everytime i go to install zip from sdcard it says it cant mount it.
What is the best version of cwm to use and where can i get it? I take it there is no other method to install CM9/10, it must be done using cwm? Do i need to do anything other than simply having a rooted device and installing cwm to get it all to work?
any help much appreciated!

[Q] Battery level and SD card problem

I used to have Cyanognenmod 10.1.3 installed on my phone, then I wanted to install CM 11. I figured out I had to update safestrap first - from v3.11 to v3.65.
After I updated safestrap, I was able to install the CM 11 and the 4.3.0 Gapps, because the KitKat 4.4 Gapps version did not install when I tried it. But ever since I'm using CM 11, I've been having problems with baterry level (it doesn't appear to update unless I reboot my phone) and and SD card (SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem) considering I can still save stuff on it.
Did I do something wrong? What should I do to solve it?
Up
I flashed the last nightly and instead of using the KK 4.4.2 Gapps (it didn't install) I went with 4.4.
I'm calibrating the battery using an application from Play Store, after it's done I'll update about the results.
The SD Card problem persists, my Razr won't recognize it, when I open "storage/sdcard1" file, there is only "/Android" data file on it, but when I open my SD Card on desktop with SD adapter it shows everything (Music, Images, Video, etc.). The SD format is already FAT32.

[Q] Beans v23 - android.process.media stopped

Running the newest version of beans since the day after it came out. Has been really stable. Until yesterday. The only thing I did yesterday was I downloaded a couple weather apps.
It's pretty easy to trigger. I can trigger it by going into my gmail app and it won't let me read anything because it closes Gmail. I have done it by going into the phone settings screen. It happens in the play store and I also can't download any apps.
I've tried clearing cache/data and force stopping both Media Storage and Download Manager. I have 2.78GB left on internal storage and 5.4 or so on external 16gb sdcard. On the internal the largest directories are Titanium Backup at 1.91GB, airdroid at 1.19 gb (its the beans rom file), Android at 0.98 GB, and DCIM at 145MB. On external the largest are DCIM at 5.00 GB (music folder at 4.7GB), TWRP at 4.36GB (a full system backup), and then Download at 33.03MB.
My first and probably smartest step is to full wipe, reflash, but I really wanted to avoid that. Just wondering if there are any other suggestions.

I tried a cache, delvik, factory reset, and system reset from recovery. Reinstalled alliance/beans, and right from the get go got an error saying "system uids inconsistent" when I booted for the first time, followed by a series of "such and such has stopped working" like gapps and the same error above. As a result I cant use the play store to download my apps either.
I rebooted into recovery and tried to fix the permissions which then failed with this at the end "E: Unable to chmod data/data/com.google.android"
Now im really not sure what to do
One more thing: I wondered if maybe it was my SD card so i unmounted that and removed it. That hasn't done anything.
Also, rebooting takes much longer than usual.

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!

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 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..

That cleaned it up, thank you!

[Q] HTC Chacha/Cyanogenmod 11 Insufficient storage available. Tried everything

A few days ago I successfully installed the newest Cyanogenmod 11 for HTC Chacha.
When I installed it for the first time, I also installed the Link2SD app. After a while, I started getting the "Insufficient storage available" message, so I decided to do a hard reset and reinstall the mod.
Now I have it installed for the second time. At the beginning [this time I skipped Link2SD] everything was alright. Now I keep getting the message again.
Things I have done:
1. After installing Cyanogenmod, I partitioned the SD card and used the CronMod INT2EXT script. Right now my phone says that I have 203 MB of free storage.
2. I have tried the LuckyPatcher fix. It didn't work.
3. I have also tried the adb shell command. I have tried setting it both to 1 and to 2, none of which worked.
4. My app-asec folder is completely empty. The app-lib only contains the folders with the apps I have managed to install. The logs are not the problem either.
5. This happens whenever I try to install ANY app, no matter the size.
6. I have tried clearing the cache of both Play Store and Play Services. It didn't work.
7. What's weird is that at first, simply rebooting my phone worked and I was able to install 2 or 3 apps before getting the message. Right now I can't install anything.
Does anyone have any idea what else I can try?
Note: Somewhere in the process, after rebooting my phone, I found that the Google Services were gone. I had to flash it and reinstall it using CWM. I still don't know why they disappeared, right now they seem to be working fine, except now I can't get anything from the Play Store.
Thanks in advance for any solutions, I really appreciate it!

Grab the newest build of CWM and there's a guide there on how to use CronMod with it. I've modded some Wildfires for customers and definitely find CronMod to be the best all around solution for more space, if the SD card is up to it. Also, make sure you are partitioning the SD card the right way. I found that making the partition in Windows with a tool like MiniTool Partition just doesn't seem to work right. If you can use GParted in Linux (you can even do it from a LiveCD) then that seems to do a better job of it. Also make note of what type it is (ext2 / ext3 / ext4) with the appropriate CronMod script.

How do I check the type (ext2/ext3/ext4)? And will choosing the right setting in Link2SD do the trick?
You know, I've checked the page of CM11 for ChaCha and the dev said that it's a bug that needs to be fixed - the perks of running a new software on an old device, so there's probably not much I can do.
Well, the tool you used to partition the SD card should tell you. Alternatively, your custom recovery should have an option to partition for you (this is better than Windows as well) and then it'll set it up as ext 2 at first and allow you to change it to ext 3 or 4.
