May 15 - Thanks to verygreen, I've modified multi u-boot to solve SD booting problem. Version bumped to 0.4.
It's reported the previous version has compatibility issues with 2.6.32 kernel. I've updated multi u-boot base on B&N 1.2 source. Now it's flashable using CWM. Boot message should show "(multi)U-Boot v0.4 loading..." after flashing this. Note this zip is for flashing to EMMC. For people using this on SD card, you need to manually copy the u-boot.bin in this zip file to your SD card boot partition.
Download link - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/multi-uboot-v0.4.zip
Looks like people are requesting different boot orders. I've created this multi-boot capable u-boot for you all
Install instructions
1. If you plan to use a bootable sd card to control the boot, replace u-boot.bin on 1st partition of the sd card with my (multi)u-boot.bin. Remember to make a backup of your original u-boot.bin just in case.
2. If you do not plan to use a bootable sd card, replace the u-boot.bin on 1st partition of the eMMC. Again remember to make a backup.
How to configure boot
normal boot is booting up without pressing any key. alternate boot is booting up with Home key ('n' key) pressed. recovery boot is booting up with both Vol+ and Vol- key pressed.
1. Boot device order
Which device to boot from is controlled by a file called u-boot.order in the same partition as (multi)u-boot.bin. Only the 1st 2 bytes of this file are significant. The first byte tells (multi)u-boot.bin where to look for kernel/ramdisk in normal boot. 2nd byte tells (multi)u-boot.bin where to look for kernel/ramdisk in alternate boot.
Value '0' means sd card, value '1' means eMMC.
For example, if you do "echo 10 > u-boot.order", you are telling (multi)u-boot.bin to load kernel/ramdisk from eMMC in normal boot, and load from sd card in alternate boot.
If this file is not present, both normal and alternate boot will load from the device where u-boot.bin is.
2. Alternate boot kernel/ramdisk file name
In the same partition as (multi)u-boot.bin, you can create 2 new files, u-boot.altimg and u-boot.altram to specify the kernel image and ramdisk file name to load in alternate boot.
In normal boot, (multi)u-boot.bin loads default kernel image (uImage) and default ramdisk (uRamdisk) from the device specified by the 1st byte in u-boot.order.
If either file is not present, the default value (uImage or uRamdisk) will be used.
Example configuration
1. eMMC stock eclair, sd card froyo or hc, and you want to boot normally into eMMC, and press 'n' key to boot into sd card
- put (multi)u-boot.bin into sd card 1st partition
- create a text file named u-boot.order in you sd card 1st partition, which contains 10
2. eMMC stock eclair, sd card froyo or hc, and you want to boot normally into sd card, and press 'n' key to boot into eMMC
- put (multi)u-boot.bin into sd card 1st partition
- create a file named u-boot.order, which contains 01
3. eMMC contains dual boot eclair and froyo (see my dual-boot post), boot normally into stock, press 'n' to boot into froyo
- put (multi)u-boot.bin into eMMC 1st partition
- if you have setup dual boot using my script, create a text file named u-boot.altimg, which contains the word "uFImg" (without quotes), and another text file named u-boot.altram with content "uFRam" (without quotes).
There are other combinations possible, e.g. creating a dual boot froyo and hc sd card without touching stock eMMC, using oc kernel as normal boot and stock kernel as alternate boot, etc.
Awesome, thanks!
Thanks for this! Looking forward to giving it a go this afternoon.
Thanks, this is going to be fun. Much easier than lilo
Works great!
I was going to try my hand at this but didn't know exactly what files to modify when making u-boot.bin. Any pointers on what you modified? Thanks!

Ok, what about running NF or HC and stock Eclair on the eMMC, with Stock being the Alternate boot?

Sure. Just do the following (assuming you have already got dual boot set up correctly)
- rename uImage (stock kernel) to uImage.stock
- rename uRamdisk (stock ramdisk) to uRamdisk.stock
- rename uFImg (NF kernel) to uImage
- rename uFRam (NF ramdisk) to uRamdisk
- u-boot.altimg should contain "uImage.stock"
- u-boot.altram should contain "uRamdisk.stock"
Btw, my modified u-boot only reads 16 characters from u-boot.altimg and u-boot.altram. So limit your kernel image and ramdisk file name length to less than 16 chars. Otherwise unexpected things can happen.
i would love to do this, but can we get step by step retard noob instructions for windows please? i would like to boot emmc froyo default and sdcard HC with the n key held.

I'm assuming you already have froyo on the emmc, but the above is all you have to do.
In simple steps
1. Put your HC sdcard in your card reader on your Windows machine.
2. Make a copy of the existing u-boot.bin and save it to your hard-drive somewhere in case you don't like this.
3. Open a text editor and type "10" without the quotes and save the file as u-boot.order
4. Copy the u-boot.bin file out of the zip in the OP over to the sdcard (this will overwrite the original but we backed it up already in step 2)
5. Copy the u-boot.order file to the sdcard
6. Unmount sdcard from Windows and put it in your Nook and boot it up
Enjoy
well, that sounds way easier than i thought. i thought i had to create and move a file onto the emmc portion of the phone, not the sdcard. also, wasnt clean on editing the the order file, thought i needed to hex edit it or something. trying now!

worked! just one question. when booted into emmc froyo, if i mount sd card by dragging down the notifiction menu and select mount, it mounts the "boot" partition for the HC build on the sdcard. im pretty sure that if i load up files in that area for the emmc froyo to use, it will keep HC from booting right? can this be changed so both the emmc froyo build and the sdcard honeycomb build can share the same sdcard partition?
Sweet, a way for us NF users to get a recovery. Thanks for putting this together.
You can switch the partition that is loaded as sdcard by edition the file "vold.conference" in the /etc directory. Add "partition 4" in the second block, similar to what is in the first block. This will enable the emmc and the sdcard o/s yo share the same SD card files yassuming partition 4 is the SD card partition

Edit: that should be "vold.conf" not conference ... Darn auto-correct.

Yeah, I'm only finding a "vold.fstab" in my /etc.
I'm trying to do the exact same thing as DomSim.
Maybe the vold.conf file is only on eclair. I have eclair on emmc and hc on sd. This trick works c for eclair
Edit edit edit edit: I sold my Nook Color in the summer of 2012. If there is anything you need me to edit into this top post I am happy to. Thanks!
Edit edit edit: I still own a Nook Color but I will not be actively editing this thread anymore. Here is the gist of it: You take any bootable Clockwork SD card, paste over the uRecImg and uImage files as needed for newer versions of CWM, and now you have an updated card. I was advised to warn you guys that the 3.0.x.x versions of CWM are not compatible with newer NC devices that have different partition tables. I was also asked to post the following:

But I do want to point I disagree with the statement that "you really only need the 1GB image"... I use my CWM SD to make nandroid backups before major changes, so it makes a difference to have the full size of your SD available.
---- end of edit. Happy hacking!
I just wanted to report that I was able to take files from two different threads and use them to create a bootable SD card with ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0 and now 3.0.2.8. The advantage of this version is that it works for both ext3 and ext4 ROMs. I successfully flashed an ext4 version of Honeycomb and then restored back to my nandroid backup of auto-nooted Eclair.
EDIT: Direct links to 3.0.2.8 bootable images here: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/

NEW INSTRUCTIONS
1) Obtain the image for your SD card size here, containing any version of CWM:
(This link is now broken.)
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/
(source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870)
2) Obtain the correct uImage and uRamdisk files for CWM 3.0.2.8. The way I did this was to flash CWM 3.0.2.8 from ROM Manager and then mount my /boot partition to copy out the files uRecImg and uRecRam. But for the benefit of those of you here who can't flash CWM successfully, I've attached the files here.
3) Burn the SD card as instructed. Leave the SD mounted in your computer afterwards.
4) Rename your copy of the new uRecImg to uImage and replace the uImage file on the SD.
Rename your copy of the new uRecRam to uRamdisk and replace the uRamdisk file on SD.
5) Eject the SD from your computer, pop it into your Nook Color, reboot and verify that you indeed manage to boot into the new desired version of ClockworkMod. Upon completion I had a bootable 3.0.2.8 SD card.
OLD INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
I haven't seen anyone here post an SD image for 3.0.1.0, so here is what I did instead:
1) Obtain the image for your SD card size here, containing CWM 3.0.0.5 at time of writing:
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/
(source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870)
2) Also get the newer version of ClockwordMod in .zip format:
3.0.1.0 is here: http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/clockwork/cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip
(source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197)
3) Burn the SD card as instructed. Leave the SD mounted in your computer afterwards.
4) Unzip the files uRecImg and uRecRam from the newer CWR zip.
Rename uRecImg to uImage and replace the uImage file on the SD.
Rename uRecRam to uRamdisk and replace the uRamdisk file on SD.
5) Eject the SD from your computer, pop it into your Nook Color, reboot and verify that you indeed manage to boot into the new desired version of ClockworkMod.
Enjoy!

Thanks, I will be trying this out later today probably.
Nice post and great info. I just did this as a test run last night myself and was going to make a thread explaining what to do but you have now saved me the time in doing that.
I can say this works great as I have flashed and restored backups between ext4 and ext3 builds. I went from Nook OS, to HC, back to Nook, over to CM&, back to Nook all wiht no issues.
Updated SD IMG files
NOTE: 3.0.2.8 images in POST 34 of this thread... ALL credit still goes to OP
All credit goes to OP... all I did is updated the original SD *.0.7.img files with OP's results....
I renamed them to *.3.0.1.0.img to distinguish which version of CWR image and ramdisk files are being utilized. I also compressed to rar to distinguish these are not CWR flashable zip files.
NOTE: 4 gig fixed 03/18/11... My apologies for my initial mistake... thank you for those who caught it and reported.

Awesome many thanks for the effort Dizzy. Will make life alot easier for many folks I'm sure.
If anyone has or is willing to flash the most current CWR ( 3.0.1.3) to there device and then pull the uRecImg and uRecRam files and post them would be great. Then we can update our current 3.0.1.0 sdcards to 3.0.1.3.
Ok i tried but it still saying 3.0.0.5 on the screen, is that just wrong and it truly is 3.0.1.0

I'm assuming you are seeing 3.0.0.5 as the version on the internal mem and not a bootbale sdcard. If it is from the internal mem then yes you are a bit behind on the most current version of CWR. and should get updated to the most current version. To get more current you will need to check this thread out first to get to 3.0.1.0. from there you should be able to use Rom Manager to update to 3.0.1.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
I tried updating... but ROM Manager says 3.0.1.0 is still the newest.
Has anyone modified a Recover Ramdisk (uRecRam) that maps the FS to allow CWR to flash/install files to the SDcard vs. EMMC partitions? If so would you be willing to share as I suspect a good number of folks would be very grateful as would simplifiy greatly installing things like Gapps to SDcard installs...

Swapped webhost....was down for about 24 hours. I wanted everyone to know the files are fine now.
Sorry fellas, I'm a little behind the power curve here. So why would i need a bootable CWM-SD? Would it be useful for flashing and restoring a backup if your NC accidentally got zapped with the 1.2 update, then you could pop in your CWM-SD and restore back to 1.1? I'm just running Auto-nooter stock rom right now, will it work with stock? I turned off Wi-Fi for now, but would like to turn it back on. Would be nice if I could revert back to 1.1 if I got the OTA accidentally.
Can we get the files to make a bootable SD card with CWR 3.0.2.8?
Thanks,
Andy
Hi again everyone,
I've noticed that some people have been inquiring about getting their Stock Nook Color rom onto an SDcard. And due to legal issues with distributing the B&N rom. It would not be wise to just "dd" the stock partitions to an .img file and post it for everyone to share. On top of the fact that each Nook has the /rom and /factory partition which stores each devices unique id's. So to work around that, here's an image file with a flashable .zip that will move your stock partitions to your SDcard via a modded CWM that is preinstalled with the .img file. Hope I'm not confusing anyone?!
**DISCLAIMERS: Please read and accept all that is noted below in red**
1-I do not take responsibility for whatever happens to your Nook Color. You are doing this at your own risk. If you are unsure about what's going on here. Then I'd suggest leave your Nook how it is!
2-I tried not to mess with the /rom partition because it stores very important unique device identifiers in that partition. But no matter what I did, it kept stalling on boot. However, I did leave the /factory partition alone. Which stores a rombackup.zip of your device id's. So I would suggest backing up these two very important partitions and store it somewhere safe!
3-On the above note. This is very important. Do not try and use this SDcard on any other nook than your own. I'm not sure what will happen. But I really don't want to find out.
4-Never, ever have the same Nook Stock rom running at the same time for any reason. This will intefere with the B&N servers and send a signal to De-authorize and wipe your nook. On top of that. It might just brick your nook from ever registering again!
5-This is mounting your internal partitions to copy over to the SDcard partitions. So again, if you are unsure or hesitant or not brave enough to touch your EMMC partitions. Please drop your SDcard that you were about to burn and walk away, slowly...
6-I assume you accept all the above. If so, please continue reading for the fun stuff!

Nemith (for CWM Recovery used)
NOOK Stock to SD v0.1
What we have here is an .img file with partitions already created and ready for you to transfer your Stock Nook rom over to your SDcard. I would like to thank rookie1 for his initial script for moving Stock Eclair to Dualboot. I just took that and modified the script to work with the SDcard install. The script will still make use of your internal 5gb emmc Media partition as well. This will also modify all the necessary files on the fly to work with your Nook SDcard Rom (eg. uRamdisk, vold.fstab...etc).
I made the .img file around 7.4 gb so that people won't have issues burning it to an 8gb card. If you want to get use of the full 8gb or 16gb card. Use EASUS partition tool to extend the /sdcard (8th) partition.
FYI: I still for some reason or another can't grasp the CWM Recovery progress bar! Totally lost when it comes to inserting the correct values in the edify script. It extends past where it should end. I'm sure it's something very simple and maybe my mind is just too tired or better yet lazy to figure it out. So if anyone can advise me on the issue, please do.
Instructions and Pre-requisites:
**Backup your NOOK!!!!!**
1-You need a Nook Color with stock rom on EMMC already registered (root it now if you wish)
2-An 8gb uSDcard or larger
2-Download Nook Stock 2 SD v0.1
3-Unzip and follow directions from Nookdevs.com to burn the .img file to your SDcard
4-Power off Nook
5-Place the SDcard that you just burned stock2sd_v0.1.img to in your Nook and power on
6-It will boot to CWM Recovery. Now choose to "install zip from sdcard"
7-Now select "choose zip from sdcard"
8-Choose "stock2sd_v0.1.zip" and confirm "yes"
9-Sit back and wait... be patient! This will take a while.
10-When finished it will say "Can you believe it! It's stock Nook on your SDcard!"
11-Leave SDcard in Nook and go back to CWM main menu and choose to "reboot system now"
12-Enjoy your Stock Nook rom on your SDcard! Now go flash all the other roms to your EMMC!
Edit 5/9: I noticed that some people have issues with the .img file when uncompressed. So I've uploaded an alternative file to try if the first didn't work. The new file is a 7zip file. It offered better compression so the file size is much smaller as well. Hope this helps out the few that had issues.

Would this be the correct steps for getting rooted Stock Rom 1.2 to run from sd card if we are using Phiremod V6.2 OC 4/24 from the EMMC and want to restore it when we are done. Would sometimes boot from rooted stock sd card and other times boot from Phiremod V6.2 EMMC with a 16GB data sd card containing movies and music.
First of all thanks for making this.
1) Use Titanium Backup "Batch" option to "Run Backup all user apps + system data".
2) Have ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0 (or higher) in EMMC. Use ROM Manager v4.2.0.2 (or higher) to "Backup Current ROM". I like to append a PhV6.2 to the end of the file name. This procedure is referred to as making a Nandroid backup.
3) Mount your current sd card on a pc and copy the folder TitaniumBackup to it. Open the folder clockworkmod on the sd card and copy the Nandroid backup folder made in step 2) to the pc. This is for backup purposes. Not used in the procedure.
4) Use the procedure in thread "[UPDATE ZIP] Stock 1.2 update.zip flashable from CWM" to change your EMMC ROM back to stock. There are two files. One replaces CWM with the stock recovery (good for going back to stock). The other doesn't replace CWM (but will replace uboot). Not sure which one to use? Perfer the doesn't replace CWM, will this work with the procedure in this thread to move "Nook Stock to SDcard Image[5/3]"?
5) Use the procedure in thread "ManualNooter 4.5.2 (For Stock 1.2)" to root your nook.
6) Use the procedure in this thread "[ADV][DEV][CWM]Nook Stock to SDcard Image[5/3]" to move the rooted 1.2 to the sd card.
7) Install original sd card. Manually Boot into EMMC Recovery (ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0 or higher - hold Power button + n button for 6 seconds). Restore the Nandroid backup folder made in step 2).
OP udated with download link.

Will buy an SD and give this a shot.
Quick confirmatory questions:
- Having read the OP, it seems as though you are not intentionally modifying the partitions or their contents on the EMMC, correct?
- I haven't looked at the script, but what you wrote here says that they are only mounted and copied, yes?
- Finally, this does not change the read/write flag on any of the partitions on the EMMC?
Thanks for the work on this, I sure hope it works when I try it!

Eventual goal is to replace Phiremod V6.2 EMMC with a ROM based on CM7.1.x that has sleep fixed, wifi staple, bluetooth range extended - bluetooth keyboard functioning with wifi, hardware accelerated with over clocking at 1200/1300 and a rooted Stock 1.2 for the magazine and other reader features. Guess I am asking for a lot but I have faith in you developers!

1-Not modifying anything on EMMC
2-Yes mounted then copied
3-It shouldn't change any or the read/write flags on your EMMC
Thanks,

Awesome.
This looks to be worth undoing my nice CM7 install, reverting back to 1.1 (then upping to 1.2) for. I would very much like to get some of the stock functionality back and this looks like a great way to do it without having to modify my EMMC partition table.
The dual-boot option looked promising as well but I really don't want to mod the partitions on this thing, especially since I use CM7 most of the time.

First of all thanks for making this.

I don't think it matters which restore to stock .zip you use. This script will basically copy what ever setup you have on your EMMC to your SDcard. Your steps are correct as I see it. Please advise if the steps you took worked or not.

Thanks for advising. I'm checking the download now. Anyone else have the same issue?
The problem seems to be in the reported size of the original file within the zip.
In mine (downloaded from the hated Rapidshare):
- Compressed size: 120,494 kb
- Original size: 807,167,488,681,452 kb
Maybe a corrupt compression?
Same issue...corrupt, download size is 4k.

Edit: I've just downloaded it to my mac at work and used Stuffit Deluxe to unzip it. And it unzipped and mounted fine for me. I'll see if I can rezip this one and reupload.
The MD5 of the file I have matches the one posted in the OP, so I am fairly sure the download wasn't corrupted. It seems to be a problem with the original file uploaded.
A quick re-zip might fix the issue.
I did burn the rom and installed the zip from cwr it worked.
So you must have been able to unzip the IMG? Can you share the zip file you used and post it's MD5?
Dual boot setup.
Does this copy all partitions on the emmc or just the first boot partitions? I have dual boot setup with stock on the second boot. If I could just copy the whole setup to an sd card it would be pretty slick. Thanks for your hard work.

I can help you with memory and you doesn't need to be rooted or to have custom rom.......but you will loose any guarantee.... because you wil make modification in system memory..... you have to download sp flash tool ... and drivers for cdc serial and after you downloaded all this files you must install inf file aand you will also need stock firmware for allview A4 you but you don't need to flash all files which are included in folder only mbr and ebr files which must be edited with this program:ROM Ebr changer..be sure to take v2.0:.......or I will edit them for you.....After you did that and flashed this 2 files on the phone you must do a factory reset because the system must set the new partitions size........My email is [email protected] send me pm if you don't understand something and I will tell you about custom roms on this phone.......
hello,
I have a samsung galaxy tab a.
this is a nice device but only has 8 gb of internal memory. it runs android 5.1
I'm trying to switch the internal and external sd memory. (to get more internal memory)
first of all the device needed to be rooted. I have done this, without any problem..
then I started searching how to switch the memory. I have tried different apps for this but they where not working.
after this I tried to swap the memory manually. I read somewhere this can be done in the vold.fstab file.
I didn't found this file.
after reading more about the topic I found out that the mounting for android 5.1 is done in the boot.img file.
I looked for how to unpack this file, and I'm doing this now with cygwin and android kitchen 0.224
I can unpack the boot.img but have a few questions.
1) the mounting should be done in fstab.<devicename>...... the device name is Galaxy Tab A (2016) but I can not find fstab.galaxy Tab A (2016), but fstab.goldfish and fstab.sc8830 is it possible the mounting is done in one of thes files ? (they are found in the root of the boot.img
2) what should I change in these files?
3) afther I have changed the mounting, how can I with android kitchen repack the boot.img
thank for any help
best regards,
Bart
