[Q] Adam Outlers Ubuntu won't boot from SD card - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I've followed all Windows Instructions for making an Ubuntu Recovery SD card using Adam Outler's ROM. I don't plan on using it for recover, but just to test out Ubuntu on the Nook. However I am unable to get the nook to boot from the SD card (and boot at all) when the Ubuntu SD card is in. I have an SD card with CM10.1 and it boots just fine.
Question being, why is the nook not booting from the SD card? Should I dual boot Ubuntu on my laptop and try the Linux Instructions?

Only for 16 GB Nook tablet I tried Linux instructions on 8 GB. No go

I don't have problems with a bricked device. I wanted to remove the ROM/recovery file so I can use Ubuntu as an operating system. If there a a way to use the Ubuntu operating system on 8gb I would like to try it out.

Also it shows that sd capacity is 2.9gb instead of 4gb. I cant transfer any files to sd card because they didisappears. I have searched in forums, tried everything, nothing helps:crying:.

Format the sd card and start again. Don't mess with partitioning this time.
already formatted with fat32. Doesn't work

As a rule of the thumb please don't use CWW for partitioning your sd card as it cause errors. Try a tool called minitool. Use it to repartition your sd card with your card reader and computer. Then format it to FAT 32 file system. Hope it works for you !

The official organizaction that designates the SD card standards has a tool for formatting SD cards called SD Formatter which can be found here https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/. Make sure select the full format option.

SD card formatter also didn't help. It still shows 2.9gb available storage and I can't copy anything
Maybe there is hidden corrupted partition and some programs cannot see it. In recovery I can't mount sd ext. Maybe problems are with this partition?

Another suggestion would be to try using the gparted disk partitioning utility if you have linux you can download it from here gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php or use a live CD/USB version of it http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php.

As long as you just reformat the SD card and not any of your other hard drive partitions it will not harm your computer.

I use EaseUs professional edition for my PC, but they have a freeware version you could try for your SD card: I can't post links yet, but if you search google for EaseUS Partition Master home edition, you should find the link to download it.

Make sure under the bios setup options you have CD as first boot device rather then the hard drive this should allow you to boot the gparted live CD.

There is at least a loss of 800 MB. Using mini tool see if there are unused space. Try these steps:
1) First of all delete all the entire existing partitions .
2) Then create a single partition .
3) Perform a full low level format using FAT 32 file system.
4) See if this works otherwise your sd card has got bad sectors which might be unrecoverable even using scandisk

I think it is bad sectors because I already tried that

Can your nook boot from SD card at all? If so use the repart.img from the stock1.4.2 file on the raywaldo site.

If the sd card is in I can get to cwm. But there it's no more space on the card to put a Rom. It seems like the nook os is missing.

Once you boot into cwm, you can remove sdcard and put another one with zip file.
Cwm runs in ram.

Flashing from SD to internal drive

djd338 said:
Personally, I had trouble booting & running SD cards. I'm convinced it wasn't hardware but my noobness! Since then I've always loaded only to emmc. I also had trouble going directly & straight to CM10 roms from the B&N 1.4whatever OS.
So, looking for a recovery + rom that matched, I used Indirect's app to get cwm 5, then had no trouble loading a CM9 rom (all to emmc). Once CM9 was up & running good, I used Goo Manager to load an updated TWRP recovery suitable for CM10, then Cm10.1, etc. That's what worked for me & to this day I see no need to boot from SD's. Just me tho.

I'm currently running carbon ROM on my nook 8gb via SD card. If I was to download an internal version of a ROM would I be able to reboot to my twrp recovery on my SD card and somehow flash to the internal harddrive from there?

Alright. Once I flash to internal from my SD android I'll be able to just remove the SD card and run straight off the nook itself?
Sent from my Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet using xda app-developers app
Yep, but once you flashed it will use the sdcard as default storage if you want to use the internal memory as default put this line in your build.prop under /system/build.prop (use root explorer or something like that)
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal 1
Paste it at the end of the file and you are done.

I've got a 16Gb SD card that I was trying to originally use but was having trouble setting up to do so. Could I just pop that in and use it for memory once I flash to internal? And also, if I was to back up my current build which is Carbon ROM, would I be able to restore to it once I flash to internal or would it not work since it was backed up through the SD build?

Once you change your recovery you must immediately make a backup using it. One recovery cannot access backups made by another recovery.

You need your computer for making a bootable CWM SD in order to root. No other way. You can make the SD quickly using my new procedure in item 1a in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
BTW, this is the wrong thread for this question. Should be in Q&A.

[Q] Help With Dual Boot Galaxy P3113

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Model P3113. I rooted it yesterday. I did install the ClockworkMod Recovery but, Did not install the firmware yet. I am very interested in keeping my stock firmware on the internal and running cm-10-20121106-NIGHTLY-p3113 on the sd or external. I found this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866675 but, I do not know where to begin other than make the new partitions on the sd card. I'm sorry I'm very new. This is the first device that I've played around with. Thank you in advance for any and all help.
I explored CWMR and found that I can mount my sd card and when I do it shows the partitions I made. Would I be able to flash a custom rom to the external while I was mounted to it?

I cannot figure out how to edit my rom for dual boot. I'm using Baked Black Bean 6 and want that on the external so I can have the stock rom on the internal. The partitions are made on the sd card. I was able to run convert.sh through cygwin on Windows 7 and everything said it failed but was complete. After it was finished i flashed it in recovery and when i rebooted I think it flashed the internal because it stayed on the boot animation. The convert process did fail. Any help?? Thanks.
