Tablet Installing CM 10 Internally on Nook Tablet

[Dapostrophus]

Thank you for taking the time to reply. That's all good information. I will try disabling encryption tonight, but I have to go to work now. Already using a stable build, not a nightly. However, I think I might try another version just in case, now that I have the process down. I'll let you know if disabling encryption works. Thanks again.

Which particular CM10.x build are you using?

Also, did you do a "wipe data/factory reset" while you were in CWM/TWRP Recovery?

I made an account just to ask this, please bear with me as this is the first time I've tried anything like this and my knowledge is very limited. Every step makes sense to me except the first one. I cant seem to get my SD cart to format properly. I am on a Mac which I think is part of the problem (no Minitool Partition). I tried to figure out how to do it using Terminal to no avail. I used the standard Disk Utility on Mac and it just creates a fat32 but it clearly isnt right; when I copy the files on per the instructions and plug in the Nook just boots normally. I have managed to boot into CWM but never Cyanoboot. Thanks for any help that you can offer.

To boot from sd-card in general: Power down, insert powered USB cable (connected top charger)
To boot into internal Cyanoboot: Try pressing and holding the "n" key right after you turn device on (from completely powered down)

I have absolutely no idea if this could be any help for you or not, but I have a really easy "half-cheating" way to do it that I describe under "C" in this post. I do not own a Mac though, so maybe nothing of this can be used there. But no harm in looking, I guess:

I am puzzled that you were able to "boot into CWM" without going past Cyanoboot.

Also, I noticed your profile lists Nook HD as your device -- just to be clear the process described in my original post of this thread is for the Nook Tablet, not the Nook HD/HD+. You can search the XDA HD/HD+ forums for comparable process/tools that are applicable for the Nook HD/HD+.

On the other hand if your device in question is indeed a Nook Tablet, what you might try to do in order to bypass the formatting process of step #1 is to download and burn the pre-made SD image from, e.g., http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ and then replace any ROM and gapps files on the boot partition with the version of ROM and gapps files intended for internal installation.

This ROM for the Nook Tablet is pretty good.

I installed the wrong one because I am dumb. Installed the latest one, and it is absolutely AMAZING. Thanks for your time.

I tried all your steps and am having No success. I am so sorry to be a bother. I get to the boot menu and I only see two options:

Boot Device (Options - Emmc or SD)
Boot Mode (Options - Normal, Recovery, Alternate)

I have tried different combos, hit boot now and the Nook hangs while showing One Moment.

I feel so "Gilligan" Please

Thanks

Did you extract cwm_6012_sd.img from CM9-10_CWM_v6.0.1.2_8-16gb_tools_sdcard.zip and rename it to recovery.img before copying it to the /boot partition of the SD card?

Also, I'd suggest taking a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7&postcount=31 for more info/pointers -- especially w.r.t. prudent measures you can take in flashing a ROM internally.
