Did you unzip it first with 7-zip?
Okay, I did all this - thanks to all who provided suggestions like Easeus and Notepad++ - and the "sdcard" in the storage is listed as having 6gb now.
SO, how do I access this area ?
None of the usual methods that work when you have the ROM in the eMMC (putting the card in your PC, or connecting NC using USB) work here.
How do I in windows 7 use adb to push a folder with mp3s to the expanded sd card partition?
Edit: This is what I figured out. Is there a different or better way? Getting it to mount directly in windows would be easier, but I can not figure out how.
Pushed a file (optional name or new name after /sdcard/ - in folder example I left optional name out)
adb push VulkanoPlayer.apk /sdcard/VulkanoPlayer.apk (note: could install directly but I wanted an example for moving a file)
Pushed a folder Neil Young Harvest to music directory with other albums in it
First zip it with the spaces in the folder name.
Rename the zip, Neil Young Harvest.zip, replacing spaces with _. Its name now is Neil_Young_Harvest.zip.
adb push Neil_Young_Harvest.zip /sdcard/music/
Used ES File Explorer to locate zip file. Long press and use extract to current path. The Neil Young Harvest folder with spaces is now in the music directory
What USB SD card reader are you using? If it's built in to the computer that may be your problem.
Ok well what can I do about it? Do I need an external card reader?
Once you boot from the SD card, you start to run rooted android image and you can adb into it. (see the instructions to update the device id so that adb knows nook is compatible with it).
Yes, chances are the fixed uImage will fix this reboot.Another friend had the silver keyboard. When we put in the pin number, it would reboot (I thought the fixed uImage was a possible fix for this problem)?
When I booted with ROM Manager option "Reboot into Recovery", manual recovery, this uImage restarted your ROM instead. Were the original uImage from B & N suppose to fix this?

I would have believed it would never work except for 2 reasons... folks have used bootable CWR cards for a while... and it booted to CWR the Once for me...
To get the GAPPS use the instructions we had to use for Honeycomb;

But wold be a lot easier if CWR would work...

I replaced the u-boot.bin file on the SD /boot with the one attached below and I am now able to boot into recover with the power + n button combo. However, when I flash stuff from cwr it flashes it to emmc instead of sd. :/
Not sure what to do from here...
There are 2 easier ways to do this. One is to use the NookColorUMS app that is installed on the nookie SD to mount the different partitions.
...
I would NOT make changes to any /boot partition that is currently in use just to be safe. (boot from sd if you want to edit emmc /boot and boot emmc if you want to edit sd /boot)

When I flash from CWM it goes to emmc rather than SD so I don't think that's an option. Can this SD be upgraded using the nightlies? Could I simply mount /system on my computer and just copy over the files from the update zip? Push /system via ADB? Would the vold need to stay as it is on the SD now? If so, anything else?
btw, those eager to try external keyboard already can give it a try with all the BT progress made by fattire (the real hero).
Since I want to stay on the safe side myself, I compiled this 2G SD image that you can boot into and have working bluetooth (keyboard and external audio confirmed working). Of course use at your own risk and such:
http://handhelds.ru/nook/2g_bt_card_image.img.gz
go to settings -> wireless & networks
make sure that bluetooth is enabled and then you can explore and pair devices in "bluetooth settings" there.
Range so far is in the area of 13", so usable for a keyboard at least.
I would like to know also. What would be the procedure for doing it? I thought I saw an answer to upgrading using the nightlies in one of the other threads but I can not find it now. Did anyone else see this?
Sorry for the noob question, but is there any way I can get market on this? Not sure how to do it running off SD.
# unmount all mounted partitions on the sdcard (A# is your sdcard letter like) sdd
umount /dev/sdA#
umount /dev/sdA#
# etc..
cfdisk /dev/sdA
# Delete 4th partition
# Recreate 4th partition as primary with all remaining space
# Set 4th partition type to 0C (same as 1st partiton)
# Write changes to disk
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdA4 #Should be the number of the new partition you set up.
adb pull /etc/vold.fstab
# modify /etc/vold.fstab and change the auto portion of line:
# dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
# to
# dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 4 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
adb remount
adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
If you can extend it in windows great. I knew how to do what I wanted in Linux so thats how i did it.
Bluetooth GPS is paired but not connected. Getting some GPS software to test.
