Currently running Liberated 2.2 on HTC Aria. I am using the 2 gig SD card that came with the phone.
I read that this ROM automatically installs many of the default and downloaded apps to the SD card which is why the option to move to SD card is grayed out in the Applications menu. Several of the google apps downloaded directly to the SD card, and several of the other apps I downloaded gave me an option to move them to the SD card (after installing them), in the applications menu.
So then, is it as easy as backing up my data in Nandroid, copying the files to a PC folder via USB, ejecting the old card, installing the new card, copying the files back from the PC folder and doing a Nandroid restore?
The old card has a 512 meg ext2 partition on it that I think was created automatically by Liberated FR006 when I first flashed it. Will Liberated automatically create an ext2 on this card when I mount it?
Do I need to perform a format card function in Clockwork Mod first?
Please advise! And as always, thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Well since I didn't get any answers, I just jumped in and did it! Here's how:
1. Move all apps to the phone reboot into recovery.
2. Run a Nandroid backup
3. Restart the phone, USB connect to PC and copy SD card contents to PC folder
Disconnect USB when done.
4. Go to SD card/Phone Memory and eject card.
5. With phone still running, take out the old card and insert the new card.
6. Create ext2 partition with ROM Manager or other viable means
7. Connect using USB, copy contents of PC folder back to new SD card.
8. Reboot phone into recovery menu.
9. Perform Nandroid restore.
Maybe the file copy to the PC followed by a Nandroid restore is redundant, but that is how I did it, and it worked.
How do I know if I got my sd card partitioned?
I installed a new 8gb card. I tried to use the method you described here. When I tell ROMManager to partition the card (512MB EXT and 64MB swap size) it reboots and very briefly what looks like a box or package pops up on the screen and then it just displays a white triangle with a yellow exclamation sign and a green android beside it. I have to remove the battery and reboot the phone.
What is happening or what am I doing wrong?
the phone will boot up ok and when I look at SD card and Memory in Settings it says 6.85GB avail and 6.85GB free.
I think I got it! in rom manager I flash clockworkmod and then it the format the partition thing to take place
So i seem to have hit a wall here when trying to get a new Whiskey rom... Currently running standard bonix, but looking to get a bit better battery life. Here is the issue.
When I get into clockwork recovery, And I go to install from SD card.... It actually shows the internal memory, and has a folder called "SD" but for some reason it never allows me to select it. It just goes back to the main folder. The log shows its trying to load it from /sdcard/sd... seems like its a mounting issue?
Of course my first attempt trying to install not realizing it was internal had write errors, but luckly I FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS and got to restore a backup.
Anybody seen this issue or can advise on how to correct it?
Update: just confirmed the issue is infact that Clockwork is mounting the internal storage as the SD Card. Removed the SD card, still getting the same results. Unmounting SD card only results in error msg.
bump.... still looking for suggestions
I don't follow, is the.zip on the internal sdcard/ root (no folder)?
Not sure why your sd card would be involved. What am I missing?
perhaps I am confusing terminology? Is 'sdcard/ root' not the same as the SD Card?
No, root means not in a folder. If your zip is not pasted to sdcard/ that is likely the problem.
Ahh gotcha. I understood concept of root folder, but I missread sdcard/ to be the Expandable SD Card, which it was in the root folder of.
:O *Facepalm*
I'm having some problem with my sd-card. I use a class 4 16 gb SD card and I can browse it using a file manager and even play songs stored within. But some apps cannot detect it. When using the camera, NavDroyd and some apps, it is asking me to attach a card. I tried remounting the card to no avail.
And another thing - I have a torrent app. I started downloading a 2gb file but decided to cancel it. But the free space of my card was still reduced by 2gb although I removed the torrent and data. Any tips on this? Thanks.
Any ideas?
Try to copy what you have on sd card on your pc, then format it and copy the things back on sd card.Have you tried another card? Maybe is a rom problem. And the utorrent thingy, browse the sd-card and check the folder where it downloads the torrents and see if the file is still there, and manually delete it.
If I format my sd-card. do I have to repeat the convertion of ext2 to ext3,etc.. stuffs?
Cannot restore to 1.4.0 via [Stock Firmware]Restore Barnes & Noble Nook 1.4.0 from SD
I just wanted to post that I cannot get this, [Stock Firmware]Restore Barnes & Noble Nook 1.4.0 from SDCard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190) to actually work. My Nook Tablet had the 1.4.1 update applied.
Since I have fewer than 10 posts, I could not reply to the actual thread in the Developers forums.
I have tried with two SanDisk SDCards, a 2 GB and a 16 GB, and neither will boot with the acclaim_update.zip file.
I have tried formatting the cards with NTFS, FAT & FAT32. With NTFS and FAT, the Nook will not boot. With FAT32, it boots but seems to ignore the SDCard.
Anyone else having these issues?
I believe that it has to be an SD card that has been in the Nook before and has all of the Nook/Android Folders on it.
Put a card in the Nook,
Boot it up,
Make sure that the "SD Card Installed" notification is on the bottom left,
Turn the Nook off,
Remove card and hook it up to your PC,
Copy the .zip to the Root of the SD Card (do not put it in a folder, just on the card; h:\acclaim_update.zip),
Put SD back in Nook and power back on.
From what I have read, this should work. If it doesn't I am sure AdamOutler or Indirect will be along shortly to help you out!
In the mean time, you might want to try running Indirect's one click unroot/factory restore. It will probably restore 1.4.1 since that is what you have already, but it could be a fun way to pass the time...?
I ran the one-click unroot on my Nook yesterday and it worked fine. I already had 1.4.0 with OTA's blocked by freezing the devicemanager.apk so when it unrooted/restored it still has 1.4.0
As long as you moved the file from the Download folder to the root of the SD card, it should work.
OK...here is what I did to get it to work. BTW...this only worked with my 2GB card...not the 16 GB...odd.
I inserted the SDCard and unmounted it and formatted it in the Nook.
After it was formatted by the Nook, I turned the Nook off, removed the card and copied the acclaim_update.zip to the root of the card via my PC.
I then inserted the card back and it proceeded to wipe the Nook. It booted and was at 1.4.0 but the N button didn't work.
I removed the SDCard and then did a factory reset (power + N for 8 times). It booted, I registered my Nook, downloaded my books I own, and then turned off wifi.
So as of right now, I am sitting at 1.4.0. Time to root and then research how to block the update from coming back down.
Thanks for the help...
for some reason I can't get this to work.
When my NT boots up, it just comes up like normal. it doesn't restore 1.40. Am I doing something wrong?
I also put in my micro sd in to my NT and erased/formatted it, then powered off my NT, copied the .zip file on to the micro sd card root and put back in the NT and powered up and got nothing.
By reading the previous post, it looks like the poster just copied the .zip file on to the micro sd root. Is that the case or did you extract the file in to the micro sd root?
I am having problems still. Nothing happens when I power up my NT with the micro sd card in it. Well, it powers up like normal. It doesn't restore 1.40.
I want to make sure I am doing this right though. I just copy the .zip file to the micro sd card, correct?
I don't need to extract the .zip file do I? I was just confused on that because 1 page I found said "Download file acclaim_update.zip, unzip and copy it to microSD".
I have tried on 3 different micro sd cards and no luck on any of them... Hopefully I am doing something wrong and a genius here can assist
No, don't extract the zip. You might need to try different cards. Some have reported better luck with SD than with SDHC.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried 2gb, 4gb, 8gb, and 16gb micro sd cards, and the Nook still boots with 1.4.1
I just tried kingbobyjr's technique of formatting the 2gb in the Nook. The 2gb is now FAT32, with the following files in the root. (The 5 directories were put there during the Nook format).
.android_secure (dir)
.dataviz (dir)
B&N Downloads (dir)
LOST.DIR (dir)
My Files (dir)
acclaim-update-stockrecovery.zip (I downloaded the original zip again, and it ended up with a different filename (acclaim-update.zip). I tried this file and it still didn't work.
I really hoped that the 2gb card would do the trick. What could be gumming up the works?

I believe "acclaim-update.zip" is correct. There was a file floating around with a different name that was not correct.

Try this file.
I couldn't get the one for goo-insideme.com to work even when named correctly. Don't know why.
Thank you. I am going to try that.
I have several micro sd cards... Well... I have 3 or 4 different cards. 2 are 2gb, and 2 are 4gb. All from different brands. I will post my results shortly.
Figured it out! At the acclaim download site, I went to the previous page (goo-inside.me/roms/TeamKomin/nooktablet) and noticed that the file name there is acclaim_update.zip (an underscore instead of a hyphen). I renamed the update file on my sd card and it then worked!
The name suggested by the download link wasn't correct (in my case any way).
I'm a happy camper. Now onto root and disabling OTA.
One Little Difference...
Gentlemen,
I used this procedure several times the other day using a 32 GB SDHC card.
Big difference I noted was that the file I downloaded was named:
acclaim_update.zip
Note that's with the underscore between the first two words.
I don't know what is really required, but after reading your posts I went back
and looked to see if I had read it wrong.
Might check the various threads to see which file name is correct.
Hope this helps.
Rev
NOTE: Others have been checking too, but I went back to the D/L site and it calls for an
underscore there. That may not be the only problem, but we can remove one complication!!!
success at last!
I tried using different SanDisk SD cards - reformatted, moved file, insert card, turn on Nook, NOTHING... lather rinse repeat. The magic was using my lowly 2G PNY micro.
Reformatted using fat32 - moved zip file AS IS (do not unzip) - turn on Nook - magically rolls back to 1.4.0!
When the nook is done doing its thing the "N" home button did not work, but resolved easily enough. Everything else went according to plan

Awesome work! THANKS!!
Tried Everything with no luck!
Have tried two different 2gigs,
a 4gig,
and a 8gig.
formatted with nook,
formatted with PC fat32.
Renamed file both ways,
downloaded file over and over.
I Have tried everything suggested in this thread at least twice.
Nook still boots straight up by passing any update.
Could there be something the 1.4.1 update that kills the sd update
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!:
Are you sure that the file is named acclaim_update.zip??
It seems many people who where having problems had the file misnamed.

Your file worked, while the goo-insideme.com one did not, just as you said. Thanks!
Still nothing but straight boot up (no 1.4.0 update)
Yes I have tried the one at goo, and the one deeper in the directory with no luck at all. I think it just isn't reading the sd card at boot, or doesn't like the file I am using...are there any other way????
very frustrating, but thanks for all the help!
Three different SD cards, 2GB, 8GB, 16GB, all formatted with the tablet once, added zip to root of card, no luck. Re-formatted with PC, added zip to root of card, no luck. One time I got into the restore, but it gave me a red exclamation point. I've tried all three cards and can't even boot into restore to get the red exclamation point.
I've also downloaded the acclaim_update.zip file five seperate times (twice from the dir, three times from goo), no luck.
Help!
