[RECOVERY] EXT4 Compatible Bootable Clockwork SD Card 0.1 (+ tasty treats)

thecubed · Feb 18, 2011

Alright! Here it is!

Want an EXT4 compatible bootable CWM SD card?
Done.

You'll need this for installing/maintaining a CM7 build on your NookColor.

All thanks to the excellent NookDevs team!
(you guys are excellent!)

Downloads:
All files, including ext4-compatible build environment, are located here:

Torrents are here:

Usual instructions are the usuals...
Got an 8gb SD card? Get the 8gb_clockwork file (or smaller).
Got a 1gb SD card? Don't download anything bigger than the 1gb_clockwork file.

Coming soon!
ZIP files for installing/removing EXT4 clockwork to internal storage, and the CM7 O/C kernel installable zip.

WARNING:
This WILL NOT work on stock NookColor OS.
It is ONLY compatible with EXT4 partitioning of the internal storage.
If you use this to backup or install anything to your stock NookColor OS, I can't make any promises about what might happen...

By the way- my server's about to get hammered, so if anyone wants to post a mirror link (no rapidshare-like sites PLEASE!) I'd be very grateful.

Want something to test this bootable SD with?
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/cyanogenmod/update-cm-7.0.0-RC1-encore-KANG-signed.zip

Instructions (and a few mirrors):
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11452450&postcount=22

Remember: this is NOT final. It may not even install. It may eat your device. IT the clown may come after you... I can't really do much about that...

Before anyone gets upset about a -KANG build released, it's okay, I have permission from the devs, since now all the source is publicly buildable.

If something bad happens, don't blame me, don't blame anyone. Not even your dog.

Be careful: to get back to anything relatively stock, you'd need to use my bootable SD (non EXT4) to apply uninstallclockwork.zip, then format /system, /data, and /cache from the non EXT4 card. Reboot and the device should bootloop 8 times before deciding it's useless and begins to restore the factory.zip.
That should leave you with a completely stock NookColor.
I think.

To install: boot from the ext4 cwm from this thread, format /data and /cache, then install this zip. Done.

DO NOT post here questions about this build. This thread is for the Clockwork card only...

Usage notes after 20 minutes of use:

* Feels very snappy.
* Wifi, sound work.
* Switch to the Sliding Tab lockscreen style at Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Lockscreen > Style Options > Lockscreen style. Defaults to Revamped Rotary which doesn't scale right.
* Google apps work. Install from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps (go to the bottom, CyanogenMod 7 part of the table). Market doesn't show anything under My Apps, but searching does find most of my purchased apps. Some apps don't show up (e.g. ADW Launcher Ex) - I am guessing this is because of the device signature.
* Menu, back buttons in the status bar work great so far.
* Too early to say much about battery other than it doesn't drain the way HCv4 did.

Noob questioning

Sorry but you said "usual instructions are the usual"

So how would I go about making a bootable SD card for CM7?

and what's the buildenv file for?

tominabox1 · Feb 18, 2011

no bootable sd for CM7, its an emmc rom only.

Nook Color CM7 install instructions

There are a couple of ways to install Cyanogen on your Nook Color. Either of these work fine. I use the ROM Manager approach so I that I don't have to slide out the microSD on every reboot.

Install the recovery using ROM Manager from the Market. You need to root using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054027 first.
Create a bootable recovery SD, boot from it and install Cyanogen.

Step by step instructions for installing Cyanogen using ROM Manager. Up to date as of 2011-10-02:

Follow the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054027 to root your Nook Color and install the Market.
Using the Market app install ROM Manager.
Launch ROM Manager, install the recovery.
Download the flashable CM7 zip of your choice. I recommend the CM7 nightly from: The CM7 nightly builds.
Download the google apps from one of the links at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Copy the cm7 zip, the uBoot .zip and the google apps zip to your SD card.
Use the reboot to recovery option in ROM Manager.
Flash from .zip the cm7 zip and the google apps zip.
Reboot.

Step by step instructions for creating a bootable recovery SD and using it to install CM7. Up to date as of 2011-10-02:

Download the 3.2.0.1 bootable SD recovery image from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14462733&postcount=120.
Extract the .img from the archive
Burn the recovery img to an SD card as explained at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting#Steps
Download the flashable CM7 zip of your choice. I recommend the CM7 nightly from: The CM7 nightly builds.
Download the google apps from one of the links at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Copy the cm7 zip, the uBoot .zip and the google apps zip to your SD card you created.
Unmount the SD card from your PC, insert it into your nook color.
Reboot your Nook Color. It should boot into the SD card recovery. Should read version 3.2.0.1.
Under mounts Format /system, /data, cache. Do not format /boot.
Flash from .zip the cm7 zip and the google apps zip.
Remove the SD card.
Reboot your Nook Color.
Enjoy CM7.
I keep this microSD in my NookColor all the time. When I reboot I remove it just long enough for the uBoot screen to show (Read Forever or the Cyanogen Mod logo) and then put it back in.

Downloads sometimes get corrupted. Verify md5 checksums where possible. Redownload if you have a problem when md5 checksums are not provided.

To be able to use the Netflix app, modify your build.prop to make the device claim it's an HTC Vision.

chemical1der · Feb 18, 2011

just flashed this and so far so good. the lockscreen was a little wonky on reboot (it wasn't properly sized and it took a few tries to get the rotary unlock to work.) I might need to futz around with it though.

i was successfully able to boot into CWM, wifi works great, i'm about to flash gapps and play around a bit more.

what can i say: it's CM7! this just made my day and is about to make me late for a business meeting!
