Hello all you ROM SD'ers out there!
**First off, thank you to all the real devs out there who've sacrificed their time and energy in getting the roms available here to where it is! And of course credit goes to the original creator of CWM. Side note, I was able to prepare this CWM image because of a blog I read somewhere regarding preparing a dualboot setup on a single SDcard. I can't remember. I'll give credit when I do.**
I've prepared a modified CWM image that is sd-bootable for flashing the latest roms to your SDcard.
*CM7 roms prepared by me will not touch your data partition. So all your apps and setup should remain. However certain roms that I've prepped may need to format data and system on your SDcard. So please read through this post for more details*
-You need have a CM7 SDcard already prepared. Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=989637 Thanks verygreen!
-Download modified CWM image zip file.
-Burn to a second SDcard (that you will only need for this procedure)
-Download attached CM7v22 flashable zip from this post only.
-Copy the CM7v22 SD-Card.zip to the SDcard partition (4th partition) of your CM7-SD (if you cannot see it in your PC, use ADB)
-Power off nook
-Place modified CWM sdcard that you just burned
-Boot to CWM off the CWM SDcard
-Remove CWM SDcard
-Insert your CM7-SD card
-Goto mounts and storage and "mount SDcard"
-Goto top menu and "install zip from SDcard"
-Choose CM7v22 SD-Card.zip
-Confirm "yes"
-This will install the CM7v22 system, including the latest kernel and Ramdisk(I've modded the ramdisk so it stays SD bootable)
-Let it do it's thing, it will take a little bit, might not show progress immediately. Just be patient.
-If you wish to flash Gapps or Dalingrins OC Kernel you can do so now as well
-When install is complete. Leave your CM7 SDcard in there and choose "reboot system now"
-CM7 logo will show for several minutes, be patient and it should eventually come up.
-Enjoy!
**Only use my modified CWM image and flashable zip from here, or else it will mess up your internal. Do not use this CWM sd to flash anything else other than what is stated above! And do not use this to format any partitiions!**
**The usual disclaimers: Backup, backup, did I say backup? Just in case. And oh yeah, I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your nook or your sanity if something goes wrong.
**Edit 3/21-If your PC is unable to mount your 4th partition. There are two ways you can go about it.**
1-Samuelhalff has an app that can do that for you "NookColorUMS" (Thank you sir!) You can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952456. Just choose "Mount SD (4) Fourth Partition" and that should mount it to your PC or Mac, and just drag and drop the latest nightly from here. You should be good to go after that.
2 -Or you can use adb and mount the partition your self. In adb shell run the following command:
#echo /dev/block/mmcblk1p4 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
That should mount your 4th partition to your PC. Drag and drop the file over. And you should be good to go.**

**Edit 3/23 - Nightlies 30 and on will have the vold.fstab edited so that it will mount the 4th partition to the SDCard folder instead of boot.**
**Edit 3/28 - Thanks to deeper-blue, CM team, Samuelhalff for getting HC to where it is today. I've added a flashable .zip file for anyone that wants to try out samuelhalff's tweaked Honeycomb version. I've also included a dualboot setup(thanks to rookie1) with my CWM_SD. So if you ever wanted to flash anything in the future, just drop it in the SDcard(4th) partition of your SDcard. Hold the HOME button to boot into CWM_SD and flash from there. Leave it alone to boot normally. This will wipe your current rom from your SDcard and install Honeycomb. It is recommended to perform a nandroid backup of your SDcard with my CWM version.**
**Edit 3/30 - There was an error on my part in the edify script. Thanks to "smartmind" for pointing it out. Fixed and uploaded updated version 0.1.
Thanks to rookie1. I've updated a flashable zip that will install my CWM to your SDcard as a dualboot.
1-Once installed you no longer need my CWM_SDcard to flash your nightlies. When booting hold the home button to go into recovery for SD. Leave it alone and it will boot up normally.
2-You can also do a nandroid backup of your CM7_SD. As well as a restore back onto your SD. Tested and working!**
**Edit 3/31 - Uploaded a flashable zip for "mikegonz" NookieComb. Thank you sir. If you want to enjoy a near Honeycomb experience and want all the available features of NookieFroyo (flash, dsp, less apps FC issues) Then I suggest you give his rom a go. After flashing the rom to your SDcard. Please head over to his thread and download some necessary files needed to get the full honeycomb experience. If you enjoy the rom, please go over this his thread here and thank him.
**This will format your /data and /system! So please make a nandroid backup of your current SDcard rom with my modded CWM in case you want to revert**
**Edit 4/5- Uploaded a flashable zip for PHIREMOD's v5.3 Rom (THANK YOU SIR!). His rom is based on CM7 RC4 release. So it is very stable. And I must say, blazing fast. And I'm running it on a 2gb Class 2 card. If you enjoy the rom, please go over this his thread here and thank him.
**This will format your /data and /system! So please make a nandroid backup of your current SDcard rom with my modded CWM in case you want to revert**
**Edit 4/15- Uploaded NookieComb v0.4.13 and Phiremod Nook v6.[/COLOR]
**Both of these roms will format your /data and /system! So please make a nandroid backup of your current SDcard rom with my modded CWM in case you want to revert**
**Edit 5/5- Uploaded latest CM7 nightly. Also uploaded Divine_Madcat's Honeycomb RC1 Update (working su, market, sound). If you enjoy his work. Please head over to his thread here and thank him!
**The Honeycomb RC1 Update will format your /data and /system! So please make a nandroid backup of your current SDcard rom with my modded CWM in case you want to revert**

**Edit 6/22- Uploaded latest Phiremod v7-Test Build.
**This is a wipe only update** So the .zip will wipe /data and /system. Make a backup of all your apps. Well I went ahead and made it easier for everyone. So I packaged the whole Phiremod v7-Test as a CWM-SD Flashable zip. This will install phiremod-nook-v7-test, gapps, and will install the launcher-pro backup to the sdcard partition for you.
-All you have to do is download the 'phiremod-nook-v7-TEST-SD-CWM-package.zip' file, no need to extract anything
-Boot into CWM-SD and flash the package zip file
-Reboot when done
-It will prompt with 2 different options on startup, choose "Setup Wizard"
-For some reason it won't get past that, even when touching the Android guy, to get around this touch all 4 corners of the nook screen starting with:
1. top left hand corner
2. top right hand corner
3. bottom right hand corner (just above the 'change language' button)
4. bottom left hand corner (just above the 'emergency' button)
-That should get you to the main screen.
-Connect to a wireless network
-Market will not populate correctly, so go into the app drawer and choose 'Talk'
-That should give you an option to add a google account
-Once completed go back to the main screen and goto options--> preferences --> and restore the launcher pro backup
-You should now see Market on the home screen
-Don't forget to thank the devs!
-Personal thank you to "bdeville" for testing the .zips for me before I borked any more installations!
If I've helped in someway, can I get a thank you!
Thanks everyone,
Racks

Cool! Trying Now... Just need to ask... Was I on the right track as I asked in the CWR 3.0.1.0 thread earlier today?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12155685&postcount=299
Hey guys.
I prepared my CM7 SDcard [step one] via burning the .img to my SD via dd. Then, step 3 involves burning another .img to my card. Won't the two .imgs overwrite each other if I use dd?
Can I get a little more detail in these sections? Everything else makes perfect sense. Cheers.

You're going to be using 2 different SD's.... one that has the original CM7 SD card version from verygreen... the other is for CWM....
Set the CM7 card to the side... burn a CWM SD... this is the one you will boot CWM from... is all it is used for.
Copy the update CM7 zip file to the root of the CM7 SD card to use for upgrading the same card.
Hopefully this cleared it up for you.
Perfect. Thanks for the explanation.
Bump...
OP updated with latest nightly, gapps, and dalingrins OC kernel.
Please let me know how it works out for everyone. If there are any issues or what not so that I may make any needed corrections.
Thanks again everyone,

Thanks for pulling this together. I was able to update my SDcard pretty easily. Although, I ran across two issues that I had to address that I thought I'd share:
1. I couldn't copy the file to my SDcard from my computer because the Boot partition (1) was only 117MB in size with about 1/2 of it used. Since the .zip file was 81MB, there wasn't enough room. My solution was to download the file directly into the Nook using the browser, following by using File Manager to copy it to the topmost location (or /sdcard). Although, when I went into CWM, I think I could have left it in the download directory rather than move it.
2. I previously edited my vold.fstab file in order for it to point to my fourth partition, which is about 2GB in size, rather than to my boot partition (1), which is only 117MB. I adb pushed it from my computer and all was fine. I may keep a copy of this file on my sdcard so that I can just replace it using file manager going forward. That way I can do the entire process without the need to connect to a computer.
Hope this is helpful.

Glad you got it working. But doesn't the sdcard partition mount when you plug the sdcard into your pc using a micro sdcard reader? That's how i did mine. boot and sd should mount since they are vfat partitions. You shouldn't be copying to the boot partition because when using the Modded CWM from this thread and when mounting sdcard. It mounts the sdcard partition from your CM7 Sd. Which is where the CM7 zip should preside.
I do appreciate the feedback though.
Thanks,

I was planning to redo this just a bit to be able to put you uImage -> uRecImg and uRamdisk -> uRecRam on my normal CM7 SDcard to be able to get down to a single card with merged boot partition but figured that I would just verify what I thought you did to get CWR to install to the SDcard (/dev/block/mmcblk1p?) vs. EMMC (/dev/block/mmcblk0p?) and I'm thinking you missed an edit on the cache partition as I don't think you want to use the EMMC cache for the SDcard?

Edit: Thinking some more about this I guess it's pretty meaningless as I beleive the only thing CWR will do with /cache is flushing cache... so probably no big deal to flush EMMC cache except first boot takes longer...

Yes you are correct regarding the cache. I left it as is , without creating tmp cache partition. I'll update when I get a chance next time around.

Hey! Thanks for this. This is going to save me a lot of time, but I was enjoying the research. lol
Two questions, If I have modified my 4th partition (sdcard) of my bootable CM-7 SD and modified the vold files accordingly, to utilize the existing space on my SD card, would this have any impact on running any of your procedures in the op? Would I loose my partition at any time during the process?
Perhaps a dumb question:
If I use this method with CM7 nightly 25 on an SD card running nightly 19, will I lose my applications and data? Or just OC kernel?

No it should'nt. You might have to redo your vold file, but your 4th partition should stay intact.

Perhaps a dumb question:
If I use this method with CM7 nightly 25 on an SD card running nightly 19, will I lose my applications and data? Or just OC kernel?

Not a dumb question at all. I should mention this in my OP actually. It will not touch your data partition. So all your apps and setup should remain. Your Google apps should remain as well. Only /system files are updated. OC kernel will be replaced, that's why I included the flashable OC zip as well in the OP. Use the zip and flash with my modded CWM and it will update your kernel.

Glad you got it working. But doesn't the sdcard partition mount when you plug the sdcard into your pc using a micro sdcard reader?

No.
It only shows the first partition, regardless of what the file systems are.
However, one can do the same thing by using ADB to push the zip file to the /sdcard/ folder.

Thanks! Haha I was unsure if you hadn't mentioned it because it was obvious, or because you hadn't thought of it . I'm pretty fresh to the Android scene, especially bootable uSD cards.

OK. Thanks for the update. I run windows 7,Ubuntu, and OSX and boot and SD mount for me. Anyone else with only boot mounting? Is it just me?
Thanks,

Drat. Nope, CWM SD will not allow me to mount my extended sdcard 4th partition.
Easy enough though, to start over. I have a current sd version I pulled and saved to my PC prior to extending my partition. So no biggie. But as a way to easily do nightlys, not so easy.
If indeed the SDcard partition is the issue, it would be nice if it was not limited to the 2gig image. The 2gig, as you know, is really intended as a Bluetooth test, not practical as a daily runner for me due to storage size limitations. In addition, Verigreen stated he might this weekend, write CM7 SD versions that will just fill the remaining space of a given sd card with the 4th SDcard partition.
I'll look for a work around and report back with any success. I wonder if will not mount because of the 4th part ion size or the High Capacity micro-SD card? Mine is a Sandisk 8gig.
Wonder how hard it would be to modify your CWM sd for variably sized SDcard partitions?
hi,
currently i have CWM 6.0.1.2 installed on SD, when doing SD recovery, the rom goes always to SDCard, not to emmc, same about gapps.
i am trying to flash CM10.1 ROM from kuzma30 to emmc but it always goes to SD.
i am going in circles, read lots of threads and cannot cover a basic question: what is the deciding factor if rom is installed into sdcard or into emmc? is it rom dependent and I need to get an emmc enabled ROM or can I flash any ROM to emmc?
can I flash emmc with CWM sd recovery? do I need certain version or any (latest) version will do?
Little explanation would help a lot.
The location where the ROM and gapps get installed is specified in the updater-script in folder META-INF\com\google\android\ of the respective zip archives -- assuming that you have the correct (i.e., for SD) version of CWM recovery (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1 for more details (the installation process is the same, just swap in your choice of 10.1 ROM and gapps)).
i've seen the post and did exactly the procedure, however, the rom got installed into sd card.
now according to you I need to have a emmc enabled ROM, I tried this one:
cm-10.1-20130110-acclaim-HD-SDC.zip
which is SDCard ROM, I suppose.
so it cannot be flashed to emmc, right?
do I need to look for a rom which has no "SDC" in the name?

Yes, you need the ROM and Gapps zip files identified on this Succulent blogpost http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-1-for-nook-tablet-1221/
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGED YOUR SDCARD OR NOOK TABLET
WHAT IS THIS?
It's a flashable file (a file that you can install from recovery) that will create a bootable SDCard for your Nook Tablet.
What it does is creates 4 partitions on your SDCard.
100MB for partition 1 (BOOT)
400MB for partition 2 (SYSTEM1)
Size for partition 3 (DATA1) and partition 4 (SDCARD) vary.
It'll also copy over boot files to your SDCard, making the SDCard bootable on your Nook Tablet.
INSTRUCTIONS:
This will only work with the provided CWM 6.0.2.9 because it contains fdisk with advanced options.
Format your SDCard with SDFormatter if you are on Windows and OSX. Linux? GParted.
Copy CWM 6.0.2.9 recovery (renamed the internal recovery img to recovery.img) to your SDCard.
Copy flashable_create_bootable_sdcard.zip to your internal storage.
if [ Stock_Rom ]; then
# If you are still on Stock Rom, you need to be rooted and have terminal installed.
# Open up terminal.
# Backup stock recovery
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/stock_recovery.img
# Store the stock_recovery.img on your computer for future need.
# Install CWM 6.0.2.9 recovery
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
# Boot to recovery. Power up device by holding Power + Home keys.
else
# If you already have previous CWM version of recovery installed, just flash the new one.
reboot recovery
fi
Insert formatted SDCard.
Make sure the USB cable is not plugged into your computer.
1) Install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from internal sdcard
- flashable_create_bootable_sdcard.zip
Ignored the "can't unmount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1".
Be patient with the loading bar. It's not frozen, just wait.
The larger the data1 size, the longer the process take.
Power off device and turn it on again.
If successful, it will boot into Cyanoboot.
Then you can install *SDC Rom.
The default data1 (Partition 3) size is 600MB in flashable_create_bootable_sdcard.zip.
My recommendation.
600MB is for 2GB SDCard
1000MB is for 4GB SDCard
2000MB is for 8GB SDCard
3000MB is for 16GB-64GB SDCard
To make data1 size larger, just rename the file 'createsd_*.sh' to 'createsd.sh' inside flashable_create_bootable_sdcard.zip.
createsd_600MB.sh
createsd_1000MB.sh
createsd_2000MB.sh
createsd_3000MB.sh
*added 4000MB and 5000MB scripts. Rename createsd_X000MB.sh.txt to createsd.sh.
Do test and tell. I've only tested on 2GB, 4GB, and 32GB sdcard.
I'm curious how I go about installing a rom onto the sd card after i have this?

There should be a guide on how to flash ROMs to SD somewhere in the forum...it was intended for making a triple boot Nook...although the scripts may not work for CM10/10.1 as they were for CM7/9
If you find it (back 1-2 pages) you could use it, if I find it I'll link you...

If you indeed have a Nook HDplus, then you are posting in the wrong forum. Try posting in a HD+ forum and perhaps someone might be willing to help, in spite of your rather abrasive attitude.

Hi I run the booth CM 10.2 boot from SDCARD install from verygreen and would like to upgrade to KITKAT and keep my apps intact without starting over from scratch. Can someone who has actually done the upgrade fill me in on some of the steps and gotchyas.
So glancing at the post below. It looks like there is some info missing for 10.2 sd card users and I would like to preserve my installed apps.
So do I just need to download only the sdcard ovation zip to the original nook build on the stock nook then booth to cwm and update with that zip and reboot. What folder is best to stick zip into for cwm? Again I want to preserve my installation as much as possible. Also if I have to clear the cache what type of data does that cause me to loose exactly?
Im thinking this instruction set is for existing internal installs and not boot from sdcard installs and im a bit confused too which zip is the recovery zip and which file is CM11. I would think cwm would just unpack the ovation sdcard zip and install it you would be done. What is gapps, Is play store hosed or something after the upgrade and where are the links for the gapps if its not via play store for this mod?
What is the difference in a recovery zip and cwm11 I would like to understand more why the recovery is needed, used, what it is in android.
For upgrades from CM10.x (the only tested are 10.2 and 10.1). If you have any problems after upgrade - you'll need to do factory reset to clear /data:
1.Download recovery zip and CM11 install and place it on the nook If hats and existing install what
2.Reboot into recovery you already have installed
3.Flash the recovery zip you just downloaded
4.reboot into recovery again (This is important! Failure to do this will botch your upgrade and you'll need to wipe /data) so that the new recovery is started.
5.Install CM11, install other stuff you need like gapps
6.reboot
7.enjoy

First of, you should post your question in the HD/HD+ forums (rather than this Nook Tablet forum).
The above was written for emmc install. For SD install, in lieu of steps 2-4 above, do the following:
download sdcard-cwm-early9.img.gz (linked as "initial sdcard image for ovation" in the OP at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49192422&postcount=1)
use archive file manager such as 7-zip to open the .gz file and extract the image sdcard-cwm-early9.img
use archive file manager to open the .img file and extract the 3 files: uImage, kernel, and ramdisk.cwm
replace the 3 files uImage, kernel, and ramdisk.cwm on the /boot partition of the SD card with their corresponding version just extracted
boot the SD card and continue with step 5 above
You can try the above install without doing "wipe /data", and if there is any problem you can repeat the install (steps 5+) with a "wipe /data". With a "wipe /data" your current apps most likely will get auto-downloaded ("auto-restored") by Google Backup/Restore service, but you still have to redo the apps' personal settings (if any).
The Gapps for CM11 can be obtained from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps.
