Error In Sdcard Update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip
on a bootable SD card for use on the Nook Color. The point of making a bootable SD card is that it preserves the stock install of the Nook Color (and your warranty). In plain English this means you will still be able to continue to purchase & share books, magazines, and apps from B&N, then when you want to use the Nook Color as an Android tablet you may "pop-in" the SD Card that has a bootable CyanogenMod 7 image. This gives you the ability to purchase Android Market apps, use Gingerbread (Android 2.3), and lets you take advantage of the working bluetooth chip hidden from users and disabled on the hobbled flavour of Android installed by default on the Nook Color. I read many sources of information and grateful for the information learned from members of these incredible communities: CyanogenMod Wiki, XDAdevelopers, and NookDevs. The install method I formulated is an amalgamation from information found on the Nookdevs and XDAdevelopers pages and forums. Some prerequisites before you begin - first you will need a suitable micro SD card, I am using a PNY 8GB Class 4 micro SD card for my image, 2GB is too small and 4GB cards aren't worth the bother. But according to this table you may wish to purchase a cheap Sandisk Class 2 8GB card for best performance. Another hardware requirement is a way to write data to the micro SD card if your computer does not have a slot, the solution is a USB to micro SD adapter. Although I used an adapter that came bundled with another card I had purchased in the past, this and this were found on Amazon within minutes, these adapters are available at virtually all shops that carry micro SD cards, or usually bundled with a card as mine was. Cost is usually very cheap, especially if purchased online. Upon procuring the necessary hardware, you will also need to download this short list of files: CyanogenMod v7.0.3 encore (stable) - found via this page. Version 1.3 of the "size agnostic" CM7 SD card installer - found via this page. Google Apps for CM7 found via this page. If using MS Windows you may need two more extra applications Mac users need not be concerned with. The first is WinImage, and the second is 7-zip. After the three files have been downloaded, place all of them in the same folder. If using Mac OS X, place the files in a new folder named cm7 in your home folder, and if using windows place the files in a folder with the path of C:\cm7. Next, the file named gen
on a Nook Color from SD Card post has over 100 comments! As far as I'm concerned, that's really awesome, but at the same time, I thought I should start a clean thread for new people coming to the process. There are two reasons for this: With a clean post, I can incorporate some "lessons learned". With a clean post, new commentors won't have that sinking "oh dear, do I need to read all these before I go on" feeling. I hate that feeling when I'm starting a new project. https://glasskeys.com/2011/06/27/how-to-make-a-bootable-sd-card-running-cyanogenmod-for-the-nook-color/ So here we go... Getting Your Stuff Together Here is a list of all the things you will need: A Nook Color. A micro SD card. There's no mandatory size / format / manufacturer for this process, but quality does matter and I have no idea how you tell the "good" ones from the "bad" ones without buying them first. I use this micro SD card http://www.anamardoll.com/2011/07/ereader-running-cm7-on-nook-color-from.html - I own three of these now, all from this listing on Amazon, and two of them are running CM7 for Nook Colors so I know they work well. You'll need a way to connect your micro SD card to your computer - something like this. An image-writing program like WinImage. I used WinImage85 in my tutorial. The CM7 installer image here. Note that the ".gz" extension is a compressed format - you'll need to unzip it with a program like WinRar. The CM7 build here. (Download the update-cm-ETCETERA-.zip file. Do not unzip - just leave as is.) The CM7 google apps installer here. (Scroll to the bottom until you see this download link.) Prepping Your Nook Color A lot of people don't need to prep their Nook Color for this method, but several commentors in the initial thread noted issues with starting from scratch on an NC running 1.2.0 firmware. Because of this, I would recommend using the UnLockr method of flashing your Nook Color to the 1.0.1 firmware. The video can be found here (The UnLockr) and it's very quick and easy to follow their video -- the process should take maybe 20 minutes. Instal
Ubuntu and now Gingerbread based CyanogenMod 7 – things keep on getting better and better for Nook Color custom Android development as http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-cyanogenmod-7-android-2-3-gingerbread-rom-on-nook-color/ the device now has a functional CyanogenMod 7 port that you can http://androidforums.com/threads/nook-wont-boot.420171/ install on it and turn your eBook reader into a full-fledged Android tablet. Read on for our complete guide. The Nook Color seems to have become the HD2 of the tablet world as it keeps on running everything thrown at it. This custom CyanogenMod 7 ROM is based error in on the CyanogenMod 7 source code and has been ported to the Nook Color by the CyanogenMod development community. The port runs on the internal memory of the device and is pretty functional for a nightly release, though some features might not be working at the moment. Home and Back button functionality has been implemented via soft keys on the status error in sdcard bar. What Works and What Doesn’t: Touchscreen, Wi-Fi, sound, accelerometer and pretty much every hardware feature except for Bluetooth appears to be fully functional, though hardware video acceleration has yet to be figured out and thus, native video playback isn’t working but flash video playback is functional. Amongst the software features, almost all Android Gingerbread features and most third-party applications are working fine but some problems have been reported with Market and a few third-party apps. All the missing features are being actively worked upon and are expected to be resolved soon, In the meantime, you can use a few workarounds posted at the CM7 Developers Thread at XDA-Developers. Requirements: Custom ClockworkMod Recovery with ext4 support (Download the version for your SD card size and extract the .img file from the .tar.gz archive). A microSD card reader. (A USB one or one that comes built-in with the computer.) A tool for writing a data image to the SD card: Windows: We will use free tool ImageWriter. Download it and extract the contents of the zip archive to your computer, or use
Received: 0 When i was trying to flash cm7 I mistakenly did "wipe data/factory reset" and then did "wipe cache partition" because i was under the impression that flashing the mod would be similar to when i first rooted my nook. After that didn't work i've been formatting system, data, and cache then installing the zip files but nothing has worked. I get a black screen every time i try to turn on my nook after ejecting the sd card. The last combination i tried was Clockwork 3.2.0.1 and update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed. I'm not sure if what i did the first time i tried to flash cm7 is the problem or if i accidentally formatted boot as well as system, cache, and data. Plz help, sorry for noob problem Advertisement Sep 26, 2011 #1 colchiro Well-Known Member Joined: Jun 4, 2010 Messages: 8,886 Likes Received: 1,784 "installing the zip files"... what files are those? Assuming you're installing on the NC (not sdcard), try this: format data format cache wipe Dalvik cache flash rom flash gApps DO NOT FLASH a kernel reboot. DoAndroidDream? and 1337n00b like this.
