Hello all you Triple-Booters out there! I would like to introduce to you:
Convert2Dualboot-SD Tool
What is this you ask?
This is a little tool that I've put together that will convert any standard flashable roms for our Nook Color to be DualbootSD compatible. No more waiting on my lazy arse to update you guys!!! I used APK manager as a base for my script. I've written 3 different versions that will run on Linux, OSX and Android. All neccesary binaries are included with each version.

Can I use any kind of flashable zips?
Yes and no. You could use any standard flashable "rom" or "gapps" zips only.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I use it?
You drop a standard rom .zip into a "rom-to-modify" folder. Then execute a shell script that will give you an option to convert it for flashing to Primary or Alternate boot on the DualbootSD.

Can I use any CWM Recovery for flashing?
Absolutely not! Only use the CWM Recovery that was included with the DualbootSD.

Will you be updating this to add new features and stuff?
Not sure what features I can add, but you can always check the CHANGE LOG in post 3.

Can you give us step by step directions on how to use this?
Of course! See second post for more details.

And that's all she wrote... well he, being me.
If I've helped in anyway. Don't hesitate to hit the thanks button.
Change log:
v1.4 (6/8/2012)
-Fixed gapps being zipped with rom when converting rom & gapps together
-Added SDCacheMount to converted roms (see the SDCacheMount thread for more info)
-Fixed mkimage binary executing error for Linux version
-No DOS update yet.... DizzyDen?????
-Thanks goes to xda user "shumash" for the SDCacheMount addition into the script
v1.3a
-Mkimage error on Android Script fixed.
-Mkimage is dependent on 'libmusl.so' which I did not include and linked in the tools folder. I overlooked this tidbit because I had "BOTBREW" installed on my system so it never complained about linking to it.
v1.3
-I effed up on the script!
-RASTAVIPER kept asking me about issues with his gapps. Apparently the mod for Gapps Alt Boot had the wrong mount points inserted into the updater script. NOW I SEE IT!
-Also in the DOS version. Prep of ROM Alt Boot had the wrong mount points as well. Sorry guys.
-It's been fixed and uploaded. Please don't use v1.2 anymore. Thanks.
v1.2
-Changed up UI layout of script: Please re-read README from post 2 above for edited instructions.
-Edited script to speed up mod process (Thanks DizzyDen!)
-Added option to mod both "ROM & GAPPS" on the fly
-Android version now has a tool.img file. This makes modding quicker and safer.
-Added DOS version ported by DizzyDen! (Thank you sir!)
-Modding for EMMC dualboot version in the works???? (That's if you guys want it)
v1.1
-Added gapps option
-Cleaned up some scripting behaviors
v1.0
-Initial release
Well.. after some thought, it really didn't make sense to release this without an option to mod gapps for the DualbootSD. I mean what good is a rom without gapps?!
Convert2Dualboot-SD v1.1 is up if anyone wants to try.
Check post 3 for all changlogs.
Thanks,
Racks
Taking advantage of the opportunity to try something new, I made a dual-boot card for my sister-in-law.
This is cool. I actually haven't tested the card yet as I have my device flashed to internal and have modded the recovery some. I haven't backed up any of the changes I made (I know, I know) and don't want to have to do it again.
I may try updating the card now that you've included gapps, though. I hadn't made a bootable card since I first rooted this thing, and to be honest it was by accident even that time. So I was wondering how to get gapps, was thinking about setting an alt-recovery just for that.
But anyway, I hadn't looked at how to do the gapps yet, maybe it was easier than that. But this seems even easier.
Cool, man! I bet the dual/triple booters will love being able to make their own updates. The experience I had last night couldn't have been easier. My wife got me and her sister the Nooks at the same time, I am excited for her to see what I have been talking about the last six months.
I will be sure to try this once my NC gets here. Thanks!
Racks,
Works great but there's an odd 0 byte file in the DB zip called ^[email protected] Is that an artifact and can I just delete it?

DB zip? Sorry, but what are you referring to with that?
And could you also let me know which one you used? OSX, Linux, Android?
Edit: That might just be the stupid __MACOSX hidden folder that osx likes to include Forgot to exclude that and the .gitignore file when zipping. Although they aren't detrimental to running the C2DSD Tool, you can choose to delete them if you wish.
Thanks,
Racks
Thanks a lot Racks... great work... we'll get together and sort out the windows based version... can include it in your work here... or as another feature of the IMEI generator.

Sorry for being vague. I meant the modded dualboot sd zip build. But I tried it again and it was fine, so let's say no more about it, eh?
On a related note, since you're so motivated now, how about creating those separate cache1 and cache2 partitions so that we don't have to wait so long to boot between the two?
Anyone who tried the new modding option and that would like to share with us which CM9 rom (nightly) did he convert and is working fine after conversion?

Was hoping to have something before I had to go to work this morning... didn't get it completed...
to keep as close as Racks' I will have a DOS batch file available sometime tonight...
True Windows GUI version will be available early in the week.
Keeping with Racks' desires... both will be open source and stored on his github... I use AutoIT for windows programming these things.

UPDATE: I converted the latest Mirage build, and when I tried to flash it, Recovery complained that it wasn't a valid zip file. Checked it and the same weird file was in the converted flashable zip. When I ran the conversion a second time, all was good and it flashed as expected. I had deleted all the extraneous _MACOSX and .gitignore file stuff prior to running it the first time. BTW, the problem in the quoted post was when I converted an ICS build the first time, too. Racks, do you think that there is something that occurs the first time the script is run that is different on subsequent runs that might account for this?
Just installed nightly 28.4 without Opengl and then gapps which appeared in the folder Primary Mod after conversion.
After that I cant get inside shop.I click to open it and it gets me back to main menu.
Any ideas?Reflashing of gapps didnt work.

Primary mod is for Primary boot. Default primary boot was CM7, so I'm assuming you formatted /system1 & /data1 before flashing?
Could you also unzip the contents of the converted gapps zip. And check the updater script. All /system variables should be /system1.
-Racks
I didn't format anything before flashing. I thought this as an upgrade, so after conversion I just proceed to flashing.
Finally, I flashed your own gapps that you have at your dualboot topic and now everything is back to normal.
Unfortunately, even after this upgrade, I still continue to deal with FC issues of mail, Facebook and of other random apps.I think there is some problem with my card and CM9, since CM7 runs perfect from emmc or from same mem card.

Hello, can anyone extract this widget and send it to me by email? I removed it accidentally but I don't wanna re flash whole system and loose all my settings because of that. I suppose it should be apk and odex files. They can be found in one system directory. Please pm me for email. Thanks

Why don't you open the flashable zip of your rom? Then you can extract it yourself

Download a 2.3.6 rom flashable zip file. Open it and go to system/app extract the file and copy it to your phone. Install it and your done.
If you want to install a system app then you need to be rooted. So i thought you already had a flashable zip file.
I got my firmware downloaded only. It is md5.tar file. Is this what you are talking about or should I download something else?

You flashed a zip file?
Is the apk file still in system/app? If not just place it there and wipe the caches. Without flashing a file.
BTW I don't know exactly how I make a good flashable zip file. Search and it shouldn't be hard to find and make.

F.A.Q
1) To flash Recovery ROM, you just need to put the ROM file into your device's SD card root directory, and flash it in Recovery mode. Flashing Recovery ROM will not wipe your user data or the files in internal storage.
2) To flash Fastboot ROM, you'll need to connect your device to a computer, and use ROM flashing tools. You can choose different fastboot script to decide whether to wipe data or not
a. flash_all.bat（This file should be used in Windows operating system. It will flash all the files, and wipe all userdata and all files in internal storage)
b. flash_all_except_data_storage.bat （This file should be used in Windows operating system. It will flash the updated files, and will not wipe user data and files in internal storage)
c. flash_all_except_storage.bat （This file should be used in Windows operating system. It will flash the updated files, wipe user data, but will not delete files in internal storage）
d. flash_all.sh（This file should be used in Linux operating system. It will flash the updated files, and will not wipe user data and files in internal storage）
e. flash_all_except_data_storage.sh （This file should be used in Linux operating system. It will flash the updated files, and will not wipe user data and files in internal storage）
f. flash_all_except_storage.sh （This file should be used in Linux operating system. It will flash the updated files, wipe user data, but will not delete files in internal storage）

Hey, What is your device Android version?
Android 8.1
For those with Umidigi One / One Pro or Z2
0. Install twrp from first link
---
(second link)
1. now we need to edit the fstab file
because its a MTK device your fstab file looks like fstab.mt6763 or simliar
2. Download Mixplorer from XDA Thread. ( this root explorer is the best because it set permission automaticly.)
3. open mixplorer and browse to root/system/vendor/etc/fstab.mt6763..
4 open that file and search for ( should be line 15)
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,errors=panic wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,forceencrypt=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/metadata,

Android 8.1
For those with Umidigi One / One Pro or Z2
0. Install twrp from first link
---
(second link)
1. now we need to edit the fstab file
because its a MTK device your fstab file looks like fstab.mt6763 or simliar
2. Download Mixplorer from XDA Thread. ( this root explorer is the best because it set permission automaticly.)
3. open mixplorer and browse to root/system/vendor/etc/fstab.mt6763..
4 open that file and search for ( should be line 15)
5. edit the file to this
6.save and turn off the phone
---
7. Wipe Data from device and enter in the phone again and no more encryption so twrp will be able to access the data partition.

This means that Mixplorer does not have root permissions to access root folder. Install magisk and try again, if it still does not work and you have root installed, clear data&cache for mixplorer app.
But I can't root the phone. I've tried all, but when I enter twrp it mounting data partition always fails. And TWRP also always only starts the first time after it's been flashed. Next time I start in recovery mode, I just see "No command".

it is odd on why the recovery partition is being changed to default, do you have root ?
root tutorial
Install magisk manager 6.0.1 apk
Get the boot..img from rom section last update and put it inside phone
Use magisk manager install button to modify boot.img
Extract it to pc and mount it on boot partition in flash tools and only select that partition and click download with phone off
twrp after that link
It didn't work. When I press "install" and select the rom in the file manager, it says "flashing" and then it disapears. Nothing changes

Try SP_Flash_Tool to root with magisk first
But my main question has always been: hiw to root? I can't mount data partition after flasing twrp so I can't access my files in recovery mode and I can't install magisk

You do not need twrp to root the device, all you need is the sp flash tool and the boot.img from the rom. Also the magisk manager application installed normally.
OK. Could you please help me by explaining step to step how to root using SPFT? Thanks in andvance

Phone is now rooted and TWRP installed, but I still can't mount data partition.
Go in ROOT /vendor/etc/fstab.mt6763 with MIXPLORER
Should be on line 15 I think
edit:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,errors=panic wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,forceencrypt=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/metadata,
to:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,noauto_da_alloc,errors=panic wait,check,quota,formattable,resize,encryptable=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata,
save and restart phone and wipe data in twrp, everything will be erased, enter in phone after that and follow instructions like the first time you started the phone
