CM10.0 Jellybean SDCard IMG for Nook Tablet (12/31) FINAL
Nov 18, 2012 336 Comments
What is this? It’s an image copy of a 2GB sdcard with bootable CM10 Jellybean. You simply burn the image to your 2GB sdcard or bigger and you have a bootable CM10 Jellybean running on your Nook Tablet. Nothing alter to your Nook Tablet internal system.
Does this work on Nook Color, Nook HD, or HD+? NO
Many people have asked for an image of bootable CM10 for SDCard. I was reluctant to do it because CM10 for Nook Tablet get updated a lot or aren’t as stable before. Making an image of the SDCard create a huge file and uploading it takes a long time for me. Now, CM10 for Nook Tablet have gotten to a stage where it’s good enough to run from internal every day. Still, some people like to maintain their stock OS and want to run CM10 from their SDCard. I’ve written many instructions on how to create a bootable SDCard for various CM rom. Some people are afraid they might screw up and some just don’t even bother to learn to create one from my guide. They opt for an image of CM10 instead. So, I’ve finally caved and made one.
- DO NOT SELL PREBUILT SDCARD WITH ROM
- Make sure you have more than 2GB of space available on your computer.
- Install 7-zip if you can’t extract the file.
- Extract cm10_xxxxxx_sd_hd.img from cm10_xxxxxx_sd_hd.7z/rar
- This is a 2GB image that can be burn to a 2GB or bigger microSD card.
- After installation, DATA1 partition 3 and SDCard only has xxx MB.
- Many will want to expand their SDCard if it is bigger than 2GB.
- You need to use a partition software on your computer to modify your SDCard partitions.
- Delete (P4, FAT32 SDCARD) and re-size (P3, DATA1) then recreate (P4, FAT32 SDCARD).
- (P3 DATA1) If the label don’t show, it’s OK.
- Yes, you can delete P3 DATA1 and recreate it. P3 DATA1 has to be EXT4 PRIMARY.
- P3 DATA1, store your installed apps and apps data.
- P4 SDCard, store your data, apps downloaded data.
- You want to expand the last 2 partitions (FAT32 SDCARD) for more storage.
- Is Jellybean running slow on your NT? It might be your SDCard.

It seem I’d made a mistake switching SYSTEM1 and DATA1 partition. This mean that SYSTEM1 partition get 1200MB instead of the intended 350MB, meaning you’ll have less DATA storage. Jellybean will still run, but with less space for apps. I will upload a new correct image later on. Sorry for my klutz moment.FIXED

tks man!
Can this work on a Nook Color?
No, go to Nook Color section on XDA, there are several guides for it.
Thanks very much. Trying it now!
Works like a charm. To add gapps, I assume I will just need to copy gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip to the SDCard, after replacing the updater-script?
It already come with gapps.
Duh. I should have looked more closely. Thanks!
Amazing! I did not expect it to run so smooth from sd! Thank you!
This is so great! Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to put this onto a class 10, 32 GB micro sd card but no joy just a loops on that cool looking CyanogenMod screen. Should I be using a smaller card?
First time running CM? On first boot, it takes a couple of minutes to load that is you didn’t messed with DATA1 partition.
It’s been 60 minutes and it still will not boot. Followed your windows directions. Did not resize any of the partitions just wrote disk image to micro sd. Stuck in loop.
Format your sdcard with sdformatter and try burning again.
Or, open the sdcard in mini tool and check the file systems if they are correct.
What brand of card is it? 8 or 16gb NT?
Sorry I have not responded. I have the 16gb NT. I have been reading the comments in the post and am ready to take another crack at it. I know it is me messing up something but I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Thanks again!
I grabbed 3 other class 10, 32gb micro sd cards, and the same problem, on all three. I couldn’t figure it out. Today I went and bought a 16gb card, but this time, I didn’t a class 10, I got a class 4. IT WORKED IMMEDIATELY!!! Now I just gotta order a class 4 32gb card online and I’m all set!
FYI, regarding the failure with class 10 sd cards, I’ve been able to get those working in the following way. I create the original sd card using a small class 4 card, say 4GB. Then I make a dynamic image of that card. I restore the image to a larger class 10 card and then expand the last partition to use the rest of the card. Once done these work fine on Nookdroids. I’ve done this several times, no problems. For some reason I don’t understand, the class 10s are only a problem for creating the original sd card.
Can you tell us how you make the “Dynamic Image” and write it to the Class 10 memory card?
Create image with Winimage, disk menu I think, select to use drive letter of sd card, select create virtual disk from physical disk. On next window select sd card from list and dynamic option below, then OK. Once done, reooen with larger target sd card. Select drive letter then restore from virtual disk, when finished, use Easus or Minitool to exoand partition to use entire sd card space.
Buh, I just wasn’t waiting long enough for that first booth. Geez really sorry to bother you, I’ll just hold tight. I let it sit yesterday for like 10 minutes. I run Liberty on my DX but not CM.
Thank you again for being so awesome Succulent!
I am currently running cm7 from SD card with 2 touch. If I run this CM10 with.10 touch from SD, will I still be able to swap in my CM7 SD and go back to CM7 anytime I want?
That’s the point.
The only reason I asked is that the NT’s firmware will be upgraded in order to support 10 touch. I just wasn’t sure if the firmware upgrade will have any negative impact on the 2 Touch CM7 ROM.
The cm10 support both 2=touchs firmware and 10-touchs firmware. cm7 doesn’t support 10-touchs so your touchscreen won’t be functional with it.
Newbie question here…if I update an existing SD card via the method stated above, will I essentially start from scratch (loose all settings, apps, etc) after updating?
No, but you do need to reinstall GAPPS to get googe play.
Worked like a charm. Thank you for putting this together. The instruction is intuitive to follow. I booted into the cm10_121118_sd_hd.img and played with settings and installed Dolphin HD just to see how things look and work. I then updated to 121121 per the instructions above and booted into the 121121 ROM w/o any problem. I was having trouble getting into the “Storage Setting” in 121118 but 121121 fixed my problem. I will continue to play with it more. Thank you very much.
BTW, should I have wiped the dalvik cache (three times??) before or after the update in CWM? I seem to remember others have recommended that (perhaps along w/ data wipe as well) to ensure a clean ROM update. Can you shed some light on that? If I have wiped DATA in CWM, would I have lost all my apps / settings etc.?
Thanks in advance and I appreciate you work!!
Updated to the 1121 from 1118 with no problems. Now the “storage” works and boy, is that nice! Thanks for your (almost) fool proof instructions!
I had a huge battery drain last night. It was like it didn’t go to deep sleep, but I’m not worried, knowing that this is a work in progress!
It seem there is a big bug. Waking up causing device to be stuck at max frequency, so when you turn device off it is still at max frequency.
Aaaah… Well, I have full confidence in the fantastic developers. Bugs are there to be fixed, and it wouldn’t be much fun if you didn’t get a challenge now and then, would it!
Did up ever get this bug fixed, mine still has high battery drain?
Second that battery drain issue. I manually turned off WiFi before sleep and it still drain at the same rate as though it was on (same slope).
For some odd reason, after updating, I cannot get the setting bar to pop up. I hit the 3 dots icon in the bottom next to the navigation icons and Nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled Dolphin Browser and it remains the same. Anybody? Does wiping davlik cache have something to do with this? Ihavent wiped anything in cwm yet…..
With 1123 build my Tablet running from the sd-card now has very similar battery life to one running rooted stock.
Does cm10_xxxxxx_gapps.zip have to be re-installed for every ROM update even if it’s same version as the gapss in the card image?
Extreme nub here:
1. I downloaded *cm10_121118_sd_hd.7z
2. Unzipped (extracted)
3. SDFormatted 4GB card (not SanDisk)
4. Tried partioning all partitions (BOOT, SYSTEM, DATA, SDCARD) & tried with just BOOT
5. WinImage tries to copy to my selected disk, but mostly errors and thinks it’s a floppy
6. Got it to copy once, but NT (16GB) would not boot to SD
7. I have 2 weeks to return NT if I can’t get this to work
What am I doing wrong? Please help. I am outside my realm on this.
Verify that you burn the image correctly by simply checking your sdcard on computer to see if all files are there (mlo, u-boot, flashing_boot, boot, recovery). Check the sdcard partitions with partition editor.
So I don’t have to partition the SD? Do I need to format SD?
So all I do is burn image to SD?
Thanks
Read.
Thanks!
Got in on, used it on NT for an hour, powered off, booted up to stock NT. Powered off.
I cannot get it back to booting from SD. Is there a sequence to follow with power buttons, etc.?
If your NT is like mine, it would only boot from SD from power-off state and upon insertion of a powered-USB cable.
Every time I download cm10_121118_sd_hd.7z file from any of the sites. When i go to extract the file. It tells me the there is an error the file is corrupt. Is there something I’m missing or doing wrong? Please help!
What is your computer specs?
I have tried in on three different computers. I have a computer running windows 8 with 4GB of ram and AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Processor 4000+ 2.10ghz
Do you have 7-zip or winrar installed?
I’m using winrar.
I’ve tested the file on one of my laptops and it doesn’t extract either. It’s weird. The checksum matched. I’ll upload a different file later, no eta.
I was able to extract it with another program and it then worked perfectly!!!!
What is the program? Others might have this problem.
I’ll have to check the program on Monday. I have another question. I have an 8gb card and I would like to use it all. What partition would I resize to make use of the whole card? Thanks!
Read the wall of blue texts.
I used 7 zip and this is the link http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
My NT won’t reboot into SD after initial use. Worked great until power-off.
My partitions (4GB) are shown as:
K:BOOT – FAT32
*: – Ext3
*:DATA1 – Ext4
*: – Unallocated
Have – mlo, u-boot, flashing_boot, boot, recovery & altboot3
Thanks
Try plug in the USB cable (powered) before booting.
This morning it loaded off SD card while connected to AC power supply, turned it off and haven’t tried it again. Could it be tied to battery level or just having a USB plugged/connected?
What’s important in an SDCard for it to boot is the small random write/read speed. If your card has slow small random write/read, it might need USB cable plugged in. From my experience, SanDisk C4 doesn’t need USB cable plugged in. I’ve read that SanDisk C10 do. It really depends on the card. Cheap knock off microSD; you’ll never know what you’ll get. The card can corrupt and most likely have slow small random write/read speed.
Thanks again.
. I have a Sandisk 16GB on order & will be ready for next img posted
I don’t think the quality of the SD card has much to do with anything. I have 2 NT’s and one requires the USB to be connected to boot from SD and the other does not. Even if I switch the SD cards the effect persists with the machine and not the card. Both of my cards have good crystal disk 4k QD32 write of >1.4. Has anyone experienced a NT recovering from this tether requirment to boot from SD?
You’re missing system1 and sdcard partition where unallocated is. What brand of card is it?
It’s a no-name that only says “Micro SD”. Can I add System1 label & SDCARD partion without messing up current SD programming?
Thanks for the uploads.
I just wanted to share a mistake I made; I was flashing a newly downloaded version of gapps (from goo.im). This is not going to work, use the “fixed” version of gapps listed above in the post. (Or otherwise, you have to change the updater-script as mentioned in other posts.)
Is there a dev thread on Xda on this particular ROM (at least the emmc version)? It would be nice to see what others are experiencing (especially regarding the CPU locked at 600mhz during deep sleep, or never went into one). Thanks a lot for your work!
It’s fixed in 11/23, I am uploading an update for the IMG version.
Yep! It sure seems to be fixed! Thanks again!! I want a Donate button here!!
Thanks a ton Iamafanof. I am a fan of you.
Works great. I have a 32 GB SD card. I am using single boot. I created partitions of size BOOT: 500 MB, SYSTEM: 500 MB, DATA: 8 GB and the rest of it in SDCARD partition.
When I go to Settings -> storage: It shows,
Internal Storage: 1.14 GB
SD CARD:
Total Space: 160 MB
Internal Storage: 3.73 GB
I am wondering where has the remaining 28 GB in the SDCARD partition gone.
How to load movies into that 28 GB partition?
I am trying to use DoubleTwist, but that does not recognize the device.
Do I need to buy DoubleTwist AirPlay?
Did anybody use Airplay to sync videos from PC?
Does Airplay work smoothly?
this is irrespective of whatever sizes I allocated to each partition. I have another Nook with 32 GB SD card. BOOt: 200 mB, System:350 mb, Data:2 GB, SDcARd: rest of it.
To get your 28GB partition mounted you have edit the 2nd dev_mount command line of /system/etc/vold.fstab (inside the ROM zip archive) and change the keyword “auto” to “4″. Otherwise what gets mounted by default is your 1st (“boot”) partition and the 160MB you see is what’s left of it.
Thanks digixmax. How do I edit this vold.fstab? using notepad? I am just worried using notepad might corrupt the file.
What about the 3.73 GB I am seeing. Which partition is that?
This is what I see in vold.fstab. Now the 2nd dev_mount is already “4″.
## emmc
dev_mount sdcard0 /storage/sdcard0 10 /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/mmc_host/mmc0
## sdcard
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1 4 /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1
## usb-disk
dev_mount usbdisk0 /storage/usbdisk0 auto /devices/platform/omap/musb-omap2430/musb-hdrc/usb1
One more question. I have installed single OS. I want CM10. In that case, should I not replace the boot.img with that in the folder p7 instead of p2?
If you’re making single-OS the boot.img is in folder p2, and vold.fstab is in 1_os od of SD_Boot.zip.
I could copy using the normal windows explorer and USB mass storage mode. But the invisible 28 GB is an issue. I could copy only 1 video into the available 1.14 GB of Nook’s internal storage. SD Card shows only 160 MB as available. Please let me know how to get back the 28 GB. Even the 3.73 GB visible in settings-> storage is not visible in Windows explorer.
I solved the problem of invisible 28GB partition by resizing the SDCARD partition to include the unallocated 24GB using Mini Tool.
But still the SD card is not found by DoubleTwist. I had to just connect the nook and do a normal windows copy into the windows detected USB device SD CARD.
I am not sure, if I do an upgrade now to a newer version of ROM, I would lose all the movies that I copied to the SD Card. I guess upgrading re-partitions the SD Card again.
I hope the code would be changed to respect the existing partitions of SD card, instead of fixed size re-partitioning of the SD Card during upgrade.
I tried to install the most recent update you posted. I replaced the boot.img file with the new one and followed the install instruction for the rest. My nook boots and I get the boot screen and then it goes to blank screen. Then it will turn its self off at that point. Anyone else have this problem? or have any suggestions? For now I have downgraded to the previous version and that is working correctly.
21-work
23-black screen after boot menu and turns off.
In my experience it’s a hit-n-miss doing an upgrade by simply replacing boot.img and installing the new ROM, resulting in various sorts of failed boot attempts. As such (as much as it’s a pain to have to restore the apps and their config) I always start from scratch (i.e., beginning with deleting and recreating the various partitions — I know that logically this seems ridiculously unnecessary but it works.
So your saying go back and install the original image and then upgrade to the newest update available?
Thanks
What I meant is you should start from step 1 of the instructions of his Blog “How to Guide: Bootable (CM7/CM9/CM10) SDCard for Nook Tablet” (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/).
Thats what I was afraid of. Unfortunately, I have been able to get it to work that way. Not exactly sure what I do wrong.
I meant to say I haven’t been able to get to work when building my self verse an img file.
I tried to do it from scratch like you suggested. I was able to run the install for both the rom and the gapps. It boots like its going to install but then it gives the black screen and turns off. I believe I was doing it correctly but i could have made a mistake with it.
FWIW I wrote up a summary of the process I used to create a CM10 SDcard at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33302394&postcount=9 (you’ll have to substitute newer versions of supplementary files in place of the ones I used).
I’ve had the same problem with 23. Except the only way I can get out of the blank screen is to use the “depress the power button for 20 seconds”. Somewhere in the notes it says that CM 10 has a system lockup that requires the 20 sec. solution. I’ve reverted to the 21 version but I am seeing the power loss that has been mentioned before.
I have been trying to get this working all afternoon. I extract the image just fine, no errors, i put my microsd card into a usb microsd adapter and plug the adapter into my macbook pro. I used disk utility to find out what the device file is for the microsd card, and then i used dd to write the image to the microsd card. when it was through, i saw in disk utility that there was 4 partitions (2 readable (boot and sdcard) that are fat32, and 2 that i could only see the disklabels for (data and system). this looks to be what we’re looking for, so i safely ejected the volume from my macbook pro, put it into the nook tablet, powered it off and then back on, and the tablet booted into the stock rom without so much as giving me an alternate bootloader or anything.
does anybody know what might have gone wrong? the boot files seem to all be intact when i try to read them on my computer…
If your NT is like mine, it would only boot from SD from power-off state and upon insertion of a powered-USB cable.
Good call. I have to do this on one of my NT 16GB, but not the other. Is this dependent on when/how they are made? Is there a way to boot to SDcard without plugging in powered usb cable?
Thanks for this. I love it. The only thing is bluetooth won’t turn on. Is there something I can do to turn it on.
FYI – Mirrored files (second link at Direct Mirror) are still old img with smaller data partition and 1.2g for system) but the first img link (cm10_121118_sd_hd.7z) that goes to mir.cr has the correct sized partitions for system and data. I’m still working out how to get gapps to install and work on my NT 16g however. Boots fine and all but gapps although it installs closes right back up when I open the play store once installed. Retrying the card setup again to see if it was user error on my part. Chances are it was something I did screwy somewhere along the line but not sure what. I wrote img to card using win32disk imager in windows 7 on asus laptop, followed update instructions to update to 11/23 version of jb and that all went smooth but gapps install didnt seem to happen for play store and web site thinks all my apps I had installed on cm7 are still installed so I’m not sure what to do with that either. If I try to uninstall what it thinks is still installed it won’t find anything – obviously – so would that even serve any purpose? Oh 32g class4 sandisk card using sd formatter 3.1 and EaseUS Partition Master. Had problems with Mini Partition Wizard working for me on previous cards I was trying to undo partitioning on still not sure if that was cards or software as I haven’t tried EaseUS on them but it seems to have worked on this card which I had CM7 on previously and somehow corrupted.
Yeah me of course – needed to boot from card after writing img before updating os to newer version – DUH! so play store would install and work properly from image. Dinglebat that I am should have known this from using CM7 cards for almost a year.
I’m having the same issue. I went from .18 to. 23 and now most gapps just open and close. Don’t know how to fix.
I was able to upgrade to v21. However I haven’t been able to go to 23 or 26. Both boot to a black screen after the initial boot screen. Any suggestions??? Please help!
Am running your ROM updated to the 11-23 builds..and quite enjoy it ..thanks for your efforts..
was hoping you ..or someone could help me with these 2 queries?
1)-When I plug nook into laptop..and click settings for ‘usb mass storage’ inside ‘settings>storage’
I get 2 unaccessible ‘removable disk’ Icons and am unable to access the nook via laptop in any way.??
Also 2)-when I “page back” from there…into general’storage’ settings ..I see that my formerly multi-gigabyte (partitioned by me) sdcard..now only reads 1.14gb ??
Again thanks for your efforts and any help possibly forthcoming from anyone
Forget the second question…sorry…I see plenty of space on the SDCard…was just reading the meters wrong
still cant figure out how to access it though
found a workaround ..on the XDA Forums…with props and thanks to “promek”
>>> go to google play store and download Multi Mount SD-Card Lite
install it then place it as a widget to your home screen
when you connect your usb cable press on the widget on your tablet. you will then be able to see the contents of your sd card without having to remove it.>>>
please can update the latest 28-11 version in another server because cant downloaded this file any more on mediafire?
Thank you for all your hard work and service to Nook Tablet owners, and particularly for providing and image .img file for those of us who are having trouble following directions! Yes, I have read all of the other guides here, but can’t quite get all the knowledge together in one place (my head). If I learn how to build these sd boot cards I will provide some instructions on my website that credit and refer here.
1. Is there any chance someone who has the whole cm10_121128_acclaim_sd_hd.img image (the file that the 3 rar files make up) could put that up on bittorrent with UTORRENT or something similar so we could ALL share providing the bandwidth to keep these files alive? (I have been dying to try this but the hosting service is complaining about providing this multipart archive without charging.) It would be easy to include the website name as part of the torrent file name for due credit.
2. For those confused like me: At first I didn’t understand I needed all 3 .rar files as I had been reading other pages on this site (thank you for all of them!) and thought they represented partitions for triple boot cards with cm7, cm9 and cm10 (I know that was silly of me but I thought you were to use part01 to get one partition, part02 if you wanted two, and 03 for three, ha! But now I know they were just parts of the whole .rar file, not partitions!).
3. I would be interested in an article that shows how to take fresh files from goo.im releases to build an sd boot for just cm10 jellybean. I realize there is an article here that I can’t quite fully understand: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/ It seems to tacitly imply that for cm10 you need all 3 of these files…
CM10 “Jelly Bean”
GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Succulent’s ROM: cm-10-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip
Chrmhoffmann’s ROM: cm10-acclaim-0.07.1-full-of-bugs.zip
… but I am assuming you could use either of these file pairs (but again am uncertain)…
3a. cm-10-20121128-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip AND
gapps-jb-4.2.1-20121128-signed.zip OR
3b. cm10-acclaim-0.08.1-full-of-bugs.zip AND
gapps-jb-4.2.1-20121128-signed.zip
…and I don’t know what else needs to go with that besides a properly partitioned card (I’ve learned to do that part).
…and I don’t know if the gapps version release date can be different, especially later, than the hashcode “unofficial” or the chrmhoffmann full-of-bugs releases.
What would be great would be to have an article that teaches how to use those goo.im releases and edit or create updater-scripts or whatever needs to be done. As I say, I will be glad to share what I learn on my site once I learn it! Thanks to all, and no disrespect meant to anyone who is after all only trying to help spread the knowledge!
To build a CM10 SDcard you need a set of supplementary files to adapt the installation of the ROM and gapps to the SDcard (as opposed to internal emmc) as well as to boot the system from the SDcard by default. These supplementary files are packed into build-specific archive zip file (e.g., cm-10-20121128-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip) or the more comprehensive multi-boot archive zip file (SD_Boot.zip) which are posted on the companion blogposts (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/ and http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/). These supplementary files consist of:
- boot.img, flashing_boot.img, MLO, recovery.img, u-boot.bin, all of which are to be placed on the first (“boot”) FAT32 partition of the SDcard. Of these 5 files only boot.img changes (in byte size and date) from one version of cm-10-2012xxxx-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip to the next (I’ve been able to use some of these boot.img files with other ROMs sometimes but not all the times, so the changes from build to build may be substantial or “superficial”)
- the two updater-script files to replace their counterparts (in folder META-INF\com\google\android) of the ROM and gapps archive zip files; the modified version of the ROM and gapps zip files are to be placed on the first (“boot”) partition of the SDcard.
- the vold.fstab to replace its counterpart in folder /system/etc of the ROM archive zip file; this file is only needed if you create and to mount the 4th (FAT32) partition (“sdcard”)
Once you have a working CM10 SDcard, updating to the next release is simply a matter of replacing the existing modified version of the ROM zip file on the first boot partition with the new modified version of the ROM zip file, and going through reinstalling process for both the ROM and gapps zip files.
A final note is the gapps versions to use are those intended for Android 4.1.2 which CM10 is currently based on.
Hope the above helps a bit in what you’re looking for.
Thanks for the reply and for the information! That helps me understand. I still have not been able to get the 3 rar files of the 1128 img file, but hopefully soon I can. (Torrent, anyone?) If not, I will try building something from the info here. I had to put it aside due to my own website breaking (mysql just stopped working). Thanks again. I look forward to working on this.
I tried out 11/28 over this past weekend, FWIW its “battery drain while asleep” performance is good but noticeably worse than that of 11/26.
When trying to download any of the latest 11/28 img from MediaFire I get this message: “The file you attempted to download is an archive that is part of a set of archives. MediaFire does not support unlimited downloads of split archives and the limit for this file has been reached.”
Yes it would be great if someone with that .img file from 121128 (or a better one, if there is one) could put it up with utorrent or another bittorent client (assuming it is open source) so we could all share in providing the bandwidth. I have as yet been unable to obtain that one as well and would like to give it a go. It seems like a perfect legal use for bittorrents. If the original poster would not like that idea, then of course I defer. As an alternative, perhaps goo.im would provide space?
I can put together a zip archive contains the 7 files for the (1st) boot partition of the CM10 v12/03, ready for installation on a SDcard with 4 partitions (boot/system/data/sdcard) using the ROM/gapps installation instruction at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/).
If you are interested send me an email at digixmax at gmail dot com re: the torrent arrangement.
I’d be interested in a copy of the 12/03 sd image, let me know if I can help with uTorrent or something else..email me at georgebertoli at gmail dot com.
So I made the card as stated above, it boots up to the CM logo and its stuck in the logo animation. I’ve left it running for over 30 minutes and no go. If I hold down the “n” – and go to the Boot Menu, I can get TWRP to boot up. Anyone running into this? I’ve made the images multiple times and am using a 32GB class 4 card. I’ve made the image with Win32-image-writer and have left the partition alone, still stuck on the animation logo. I’ve also tried resizing the last partition with EaseUS to fill up the 32GB card and still stuck on the animation logo. Anything else I should try? Thank you.
Thanks for this, been using it for a few days
A Little Correctionfor the Linux install part:
the command is umount not “unmounts”
OK, I fixed it myself
Seemed that I had a bad 32GB sandisk class 4 card! It was brand new retail, guess that is going back! Works great, thank you for posting this!
first of all thanks for such an awesome build. runs nicely on my nook.
i read some discussion about two-point and 10-pnt touch screen firmware. how can i tell which one i got? and how to upgrade the firmware if it is 2 point?
thanks in advance!!!
In the developer section in settings, you can show the point of touch.
only problem with this instruction is
Delete (FAT32 SDCARD) and resize (DATA1) then recreate (FAT32 SDCARD).
Yeah, MiniTool Partition Wizard gives no option to resize it. I downloaded GPARTED and booted from the CD. It acted like it would work, then errored out. I guess I’m stuck with a tiny partition on my freakin’ 32 GB card!
My understanding is that you have to use an Apple Mac or Linux distro with GParted to resize the Data1 partition as Windows doesn’t support EXT4. Zorin OS has a bootable live CD with Gparted built-in.
You don’t have to resize DATA1, just delete the SDCARD (fat 32 partition) and the DATA1 (ext4 partition). Then create a new ext4 partition, name it DATA1 and then a fat32 partition, name it SDCARD. I did this with using a GPARTED live CD. I made a 5GB DATA1 and left the rest for the SDCARD portion. I have downloaded a TON of apps, and have not looked back to worry about space.
Downloaded split images, unzipped them to single image file. Wrote file with image writer. Replace boot.img with one inside cm-10-20121203-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd/p2 folder. Copied cm-10-20121203-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip to boot directory. When attempting to install zip from sdcard it reads the following:
Finding update package….
Opening update package…
Installing update…
Installation aborted.
Thoughts???
For grins, I tried to use the cm-10-20121203-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip file to install. It acted like it was going to work, and actually showed an installation progress bar and “completed” installation. however when I rebooted, it went straight to Nook boot, totally bypassing the cyanoboot menu.
Dude, if burn the image, you don’t need to install the rom again unless you are updating from an old rom. cm-10-20121203-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip is not a rom.
To boot off of SDCard, you need to power off device first. Reboot will boot into internal OS, always.
OIC. That section is if you are coming from an older bootable SD image, and trying to update. Rewriting image now to try and boot from it.
Ok, so I wrote a fresh image and booted from SD card, and it loaded android, and now i’ve been spending the last 5 minutes dismissing errors that various services have stopped over and over (gapps, email, talk, etc). Is this normal?
If you burn ‘cm10-121203_acclaim_sd_hd.img’, you shouldn’t get any gapps errors.
If you flash ‘cm10-121203_acclaim_sd_hd.zip’ and previously have gapps, you also need to re-flash ‘cm10_121011_gapps.zip’.
If you still have gapps errors, you need to clear data/cache of the app in the app settings.
It went to a blank, black screen finally. I rebooted, and now it is appears it is taking me into the setup. Think I’m finally getting somewhere.
Installed 1203 and black screen problem is gone. Checking system and occassional reboot or crash but I can’t associate it with any particular action or app. Still really happy to be able to run CM 10. Thanks iamafanof
Overall this is great – I tried the 11/18 and updated to 11/23 then to 12/03.
Just an impression is that 11/23 version is somewhat more stable…
A question-comment :
Skype works great but Skype tries to vibrate the tablet even when i just called the Skype voice test (echo123).
On 11/23 version it was enough to turn off vibration setting in Skype.
But in 12/03 version the vibration setting was already off – Skype still vibrated.the tablet.
I only manged to turn off vibration in Settings-> Profiles.
Problem is when vibration was on the only way out of it was to turn the power off (power button).
The tablet didn’t respond otherwise at all while vibrating.
So – occasional general changelog – that is if you know that vibration part of the kernel changed etc … would be useful to know.
A stupid question maybe – is updating Android from a repository the same way one updates
any debian-based linux distro (apt- synaptic – aptitude … you name it) practiced in the Android world?
(I’m new to Android).
And if “yes” – isn’t that simpler to have a repository online than to download essentially the same thing as whopping 130Mb zip archive every update? …
Again -I’m new to Android and wasn’t yet able to figure that out.
Thanks!
I have NT 8GB, question on the latest build cm10-121206_acclaim_sd_hd CPU clock, the default frequency shown min 300mhz, max 1008mhz, should the max be 1.2ghz? or is it safe to overclock to 1.2GHZ on this build? Thanks!
Check out the changelog and you can se 1200 was removed a couple of builds ago (1203?). The 1123 build had the 1200 and seemed very stable to me.
Thanks, saw the change log:
12/03 – Repo synced, kernel updated, removed 1200MHz, some minor tweaks
12/06 – Repo synced, kernel updated, back to CWM, some more tweaks
Notice reboot issue on 1206 build, when reboot it falls back to Nook stock rom. Anyone else experience this?
Imaged on Sandisk Ultra 16gb.
The 12/06 build had some issues. I rebooted into recovery from the power menu, and ended up getting stuck in recovery boot; rebooting to system dumped me back into recovery, presumably because the current method of triggering a reboot to recovery involves setting the bad boot counter to the right value in /bootdata. This wouldn’t be a problem except that CWM, despite the proper variable being set, does not start the adb daemon on the device side! I ended up having to use an SD card to load a version of CWM that did have ADB, and resetting the boot counter that way (since apparently CWM doesn’t set it back when it reboots to system). This should be fixed.
Argh. That comment was about the installable version, not the SD version. I posted the same comment in that post; feel free to remove this thread.
Just updated to 1206 and stability looks great. Best one so far. Thanks again.
Well, it’s still not good enough. Something in the kernel is breaking deep sleep. I am trying to improve battery now so next one might even be better.
I’m can’t find the file “cm-10-xxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd/p2″ on cm10 post for update. Where is?
Is possible to flash from recovery fonds on this sd card rom?
You extracet the cm-10-xxxxxxx.UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd and you will find a folder named “p2″ that has a “boot.img” in it.
I made a bootable SD using the *cm10-121203_acclaim_sd_hd.part01.rar – dl2″ download file and expanded it to 32GB using Minitool. I assumed that I did not need to use anything from parts 2 or 3 unless I wanted to make some upgrade. Should I have used parts 2 and 3 in some way?The SD image from part 1 runs in my Nook Tablet and seems pretty stable, although it does shut down occasionally with no warning. Most functions I’ve tried work but I did experience one problem. I tried to install Thumb Keyboard and a couple of other alternate keyboards but ran into a problem. The keyboard apps install OK but when I try to activate the keyboard that I just installed I get a message that says “Unfortunately, settings has stopped.” and then nothing else happens. The same thing happens on both of my Nook Tablets running CM10 from two separate SD cards – a 32 GB and a 16GB. Has this problem been reported by any other users of the 20121203 CM10 image files or is this likely to be a problem specific to my Nooks or the way that I used the download file to create the SD image? The Thumb Keyboard app installed correctly and I was able to set it up as the keyboard on both Nook Tablets when they were running CM7. Thanks for creating the image download and providing it for users like me.
I’ve been usinf the Nook with CM10 for a couple of days trying to exercise all the functions that I can think of and in addition to the issue described above for the keyboard selection I also noticed that whe I tried to use the voice-to-text function in Google to enter a search the Nook switched to shwo a Talk Now screen with a red microphone symbol and then just froze until I reset. I thought I read in one of the posts that the MIC function works in these builds, or did I misunderstand what I thought I had read? Thanks again for creating the IMG files. For most functions and apps the Nook works great.
12/08 is working fine with voice search. I know a couple of the previous one causes reboot due to kernel change.
Thanks iamafanof for the quick response to my question. I’ll try 12/08 and post whether it resolves my issue. Do you have any thoughts about my issue with using alternate keyboards, described just above? Thanks again for your great work.
Not tested yet :/
I tried 12/08 and it resolved the voice-to-text issue I was having with 12/03. The alternate keyboard issue was not eliminated however. Thanks.
http://i45.tinypic.com/35kpc8h.png
1. Install keyboard app
2. Settings > Language & input > Enabled Keyboard
3. Set keyboard as default
I followed your instructions and was able to install the thumb keyboard with both the 12/03 and 12/08 versions. The text to voice is also working with both versions. Many thanks.
First, I thank you very much for your work. I use sandisk 32g class 10 and it works wonderful. I would like to ask if the OTG work on CM10?
Please forgive my English, I am not try to be demanding or impolite or disrespect. You have my up most respect and gratitude.
Thank you again
If anyone have a Y-cable and like to test OTG functionality, let me know the result. If it doesn’t work, then NT doesn’t support it.
Thanks again for all your hard work, and making the process simple to boot and run from SD! I am running it off of a 16GB sandisk class 4 card, and have a question regarding the image from this version cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd_img.rar . My apologies if this has been answered already, but should netflix be able to run on this version, or is there still some development going behind the scenes to allow it to run?
IDK, I don’t use Netflix. My assumption is that it won’t work because Netflix required SMC (secure middleware component, to my understanding) which isn’t implemented yet but can be done.
I can attest that netflix works! I’ve been using it to watch BSG series.
About the only interesting thing I ran into was that this image is picky on the type of microsd card. So I had four 32GB microsd class 4, sandisk card – completely identical. Two would work and the other two didn’t. I went and bought 2 more cards, but this time its the sandisk ultra microsd…and surprisingly, those 2 cards worked great. So if its not working for you, it might be the card because the JB image is sensitive
Hi and thanks for the article at first,
I downloaded all required files, then I made the boot microsd card, booted into my NT16GB.
It went to cynogen automod.. and I completed some steps and then I had all working.
All cool till here.
Now, I turned it off.
Took out my SD Card.
Replaced boot.img with the one inside “cm-10-xxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd/p2″
Copied “cm10_xxxxxx_acclaim_sd_hd.zip” into microSD “BOOT” drive
Plugged microSD into device & boot into Cyanoboot’s Boot Menu
Selected “4) SDC Recovery”
In CWM, selected “install zip from sdcard”, “choose zip from DS card”, chose the file.
Install “cm10-xxxxxx_acclaim_sd_hd.zip”
then it gave me lots of No and there was one Yes to confirm. I selected Yes.
Installed completed.
I Power off device and then i took out my microSD card, placed it into my computer, deleted the zip file and place gapps.zip file as I had low space boot partition.
I repeat the steps & install “cm10_xxxxxx_gapps.zip”
Done
I took out the SD card and powered on.
WHAT DO I HAVE:
I have nook tablet built in OS
WHAT WENT WRONG and WHERE????
Re-read the last few sentences and there is your answer. No further comment.
I must say that the 1208 build seems to work very well! I’m very happy with battery life. I’m running the Wheatley Governor at the moment, and it seems to fit my use well. Most of the running time is spent on 300.
I do turn off WiFi when leaving the Tablet for more than just a short time. It’s not a huge drain with WiFi on (about 0,5% per hour), but with WiFi off there’s hardly any drain at all during sleep! And it jumps on very fast, so I don’t mind turning it on/off.
And a clue for Vivek: This OS is installed on the SD-card, not internally!
I figured what I was doing wrong 2 hours back only… increased my SD card partition size as by default the SD card memory is very low so much apps can’t be installed
To admin or moderated, if you can’t tell he answer to queries, better not reply..
thanks though asawi.
He did tell you the answer….he said re read what you typed…that you took the SD card out.
I have two Nook Tablets, both of them running the *cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd_img.” Today I had the two Nooks both running at the same time while I tried to download apps from Google Play. I noticed that I was having a problem keeping the WIFI connections alive in the two Nooks at the same time. When I looked at the connection status of the WIFI network in the two Nooks I noticed that they both had the same DHCP IP address (192.168.1.5) and the same MAC address (58:67:1A:49:EE:B2). When I looked at the list of Attached Devices in my router I noticed that there was only one device with the 192.168.1.5 address, identified as ANDROID-1496924BBFE2D0DE. I assume that this ID and MAC are for the Nook(s) and that same ID and MAC arepart of the IMG and are assigned to every Nook that runs this CM10 build. I think the router sees the two Nooks as the same device and hence the connection problem. If I am correct, is there any way to change the ID and MAC parameters for one of my Nooks so the router sees tow of them and they don’t step on one another when connected to my home network? I replaced the SD in one Nook with a CM7 build and now both Nooks have good WIFI connectivity and different ID and MAC values. Would it help to revert one of the Nooks back to the *cm10-121203_acclaim_sd_hd_img.” build or does the 1203 build have the same ID and MAC address assigned as the 1208? Thanks for any help.
I’m running the 1118 build and it does not have that MAC address you referenced for the 1208. I have a 1208 made…and after booting. Yeah it looks like it has the same MAC address.
Fuzzy – Thsnks for your input. How stable have you found the 1118 build to be? Any functions not working consistently, any freezes or unscheduled shutdowns? I noticed the 1203 and 1206 builds have the same ID and MAC as the 1208.
JimG-1118 build is very stable. About the only thing I ran into was that you couldn’t go to the “Storage” option under setting – that forcecloses the setting app. I’ve had no random shutdown or freezes with 1118. I made the 1208 to play with, thinking I might want to upgrade my 1118, but so far have not as everything seems to work just fine.
Fuzzy – Thanks for the feedback. I now have one Nook running the 1208 build and one running the 1118 build. That eliminates the WiFi interference issue. With the exception of the 1118 Storage issue both Nooks are working great. Thanks again.
I’m not having any too bad WiFi issues with 1208 build even though it does take a couple of extra seconds to get going compared to some earlier builds.
The build before 1208 I was happiest with was the 1123 (I think) that was very stable. What I didn’t like about it was that it kept going back to 1200 max even though I tried setting it at 1008 to save a bit on battery.
As it has been mentioned the 1118 had the “storage” FC problem, and that really bugged me. Apart from that it seemed very stable and very good!
Asawi, thanks for your input. I am.also very satisfied with the 1208 build. Everything worked great, except when I had both Nooks operating at the same time with their WiFis both enabled.. Then the WiFis in both Nooks got messed up because they had the same ID and MAC address. That confused my router which saw them both as the same attached device and assigned them both the same IP address. I changed one of the Nooks to the 1118 CM10 build, which has a different ID and MAC address and eliminates the WiFi. interference problem. I also noticed the 1118 problem with the Settings Storage function but if that’s its only issue I can live with it. Everything else I’ve tried on 1118 seems to work well.
@JimG
You can try building the SDcard from scratch, it’s really not that hard.
FWIW, here the process I follow to build a CM10 SD card for my 16GB Nook Tablet:
1. Get the pair of files cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip and cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/
2. Create 4 partitions using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition per the instructions at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/: boot, system, data, and sdcard. Make sure that you set the partition ID type for the boot partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag, otherwise the SDcard will not be bootable. Once this is done, the boot partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows. (Note that you can adjust the suggested sizes of the partitions upward to fill up the entire SDcard; ; FWIW the sizes I use on my 8GB card for the 4 partitions are, respectively: 0.5GB/0.5GB/2GB/[remainder of SDcard]).
3. Copy to the boot partition of the SD card the following files from cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip: boot.img (in folder p2), flashing_boot.img, MLO, recovery.img, u-boot.bin.
4. Replace updater-script in folder META-INF\com\google\android of cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip with the updater-script from in folder p2 of cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim_sd_hd.zip.
5. Replace vold.fstab in folder system/etc of cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip with the vold.fstab from folder CM10_Jelly_Bean\1_os of SD_Boot.zip (obtained http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/).
6. Replace updater-script in folder META-INF\com\google\android of gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip (obtained from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) with the updater-script in folder CM10_Jelly_Bean\p2\gapps of SD_Boot.zip.
7. Copy to the boot partition of the SD card cm-10-yyyymmdd-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip (modified with the replacement updater-scripts and vold.fstab files in the above steps, which cause the CM10 ROM and JellyBean Google Apps to be installed on the SDcard rather than on your NT itself).
You should now have a bootable SD card with 7 files on it, ready for the phase of “installing ROM and gapps” described at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/.
1. @digixmax (and everyone): Does making your own card instead of using an image from elsewhere cause the MAC address and DeviceID to be based on the Tablet you use?
A few notes and questions for all:
2. Has anyone found a way to change or spoof the MAC address or spoof it? MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU TRY ANY OF THESE. I tried Wireless Mac Changer and it did not seem to work for me. (all these found on play.google.com.) Has anyone used BusyBox (Stephen (Stericson)), Mac Address Ghost (diewland), Android Device ID (Evozi), Android Device ID (Mobile Manager), or other tools to view and change MAC Address and DeviceID? BusyBox feels a bit scary, as do the programs that ask for root and require BusyBox.
3. I agree with iamafanof about the SD card not being the issue with power required on boot. From all I’ve heard, it varies by tablet, not SD. But I’d be happy to be wrong about that.
4. Regarding SD brands and classes: I have had good results with SANDISK Class 4 32GB (Staples $19.99) but believe the SAMSUNG Class 6 I borrowed from a friend may have been slightly faster. Looking at data online for the SD CrystalDisk tests, I will likely try SAMSUNG Class 10 at some point: it seems to have monster random writes and OK random reads, as I recall without looking it up again. Anyone have experience with SAMSUNG Class 10 or others besides SANDISK?
5. If you had crashes in 1203 (or maybe in other builds), especially in email or when rotating the screen: I found the 1203 build to be solid only AFTER I extended the last partition to make it take all of the rest of the card. Also, when my 3rd partition (the one used for apps installed in “Tablet”) became nearly full, I had crashes similar to those I had before extending the last partition (this on a 4-partition setup). After moving some programs to “SDCARD” (4th partition), thus freeing extra room in the 3rd partition as we have it, crashes went away. Perhaps instead of “disk full” we’re getting “see ya!” Hope this helps someone with crashes figure out something else to try. On the latest 1208 build, I did as others have and made the 3rd partition larger (in my case, 2GB Ext4 Primary), then made the 4th partition Fat32 Primary.
6. Thanks to all. This is a bit of fun. My advice is: Take two Nook Tablets and call me in the morning. (I’m sure someone’s already said that.)

@digixmax: Wow. Knowledge is a powerful (and dangerous) thing! I am not ready to try that, but will. I assume it pulls the one from the Nook hardware? (It might create one randomly I guess). I looked for this information online and didn’t find it! I even searched ROM files. I will not be the search king this year it seems. Thanks.
And I won’t get the paying attention award, either. Thanks iamafanof for the MAC address gem.
I may be doing something wrong, but running the 1203 sdcard, the MAC address is not the one listed above, while running 1208 sdcard produces the same MAC address as you listed. Running 1203 eliminated conflicts. Perhaps it’s worth another try with the 1203 and 1208 together? Both are great builds.
Also, thanks to our host, iamafanof, for posting 1208 in a much nicer faster safer place! I think that will greatly increase adoption of your hard work, and I hope it will increase donations as well. Thanks for your efforts.
Roadskater – Thanks for the information about the 1203 build. I eliminated my WiFi interferrence problem by switching one of my Nooks from the 1208 to the 1118 build. I never tried the 1203 build but if that one eliminates the Settings/Storage problem that exists in 1118 then I might switch the Nook over to the 1203 build. After using them for a couple of weeks both the 1208 and 1118 builds appear very solid. I can’t remember the last time I had a crash since I started using them. Thanks to iamafanof for putting out these good solid builds.

OK I tried to figure out how to delete this file on the Nook Tablet using File Manager but it didn’t want to let me delete a read-only system file. Any suggestions for how to do it on the NT or using Windows 7? (I am not opposed to making an Ubuntu LiveCD to boot into from my laptop, but if there’s an easier way within Win7 I like that idea.)
I have one NT on 1208 and one on 1203 and 1208 seems a bit more stable. Thanks!
File Manager > Menu > Settins > Access mode > Root Access mode > Allow permission > Browse to nvs bin directory > Click on the lock icon > Change status to RW > Delete file
I’m using the 12-08 build and am having no problems. Battery seems good. The one thing I’ve run into is the small size of the internal storage of 562 mb. How can I change that? The partition managers I’ve tried don’t let you resize that partition.
FarmBoy – Use Minitool Partition Wizard to change the partition sizes. Connect your SD card via one of your computer USB ports. Start Minitool amd find your SD card in the list of drives. The SD card should be shown with four partitions. The third partition (data1; ext3 or 4) is the one that you want to make larger. To accomplish this you need to delete partition 4 (SDCARD;FAT32) and then delete partition 3 (DATA1; ext3 or 4), in that order. After the two partitions are deleted you will then CREATE a new data1; ext 3 or 4 partition of whatever size you think is adequate, maybe 1-2 Gb. Finally you CREATE a new SDCARD; FAT32 partition using whatever space is still available on your SD card. At that point you will have four pending operations unless you were APPLYing the changes after each modification. The final step is to APPLY the changes to the SD card, accomplished by selecting the APPLY button. After the changes are completed you will have an SD card with the larger data1 partition.
@JimG,
Thanks for the clear and concise instructions. I just ordered my Nook Tablet (16GB) and these instructions will be extremely valuable when I make the SD card image. Thanks!
You are very welcome.
Greetings: JimG, tried your advice to FarmBoy – I’d installed the 12/31 sd card build with no problems, but when I tried to enlarge the 3rd and 4th partitions on my 32gb card, it now seems to ignore the sd card and boots only to Nook. The 3rd partition is a 5gb ext 3 partition, and the 4th is a 24gb FAT32 partition. Labeled the 4th SDCARD, and the 3rd DATA. Also tried no label on the 3rd (the original had no label). Neither way worked. Any thoughts on were I’m screwing up? Thanks for your help.
JClark make sure the 3rd partition is EXT4 – if you made it EXT3 I’m pretty sure that will be your problem. I tried EXT3 and it did NOT work, then deleted again and made it EXT4 and it worked fine
Rich – Thanks for the reply. Changed the partition type to EXT4, but still didn’t work. Re-imaged the card from scratch (which originally worked, until I tried to enlarge the two partitions), but that didn’t work with either EXT3 (which was part of the original image) or EXT4. Oddly, it still works with the original card that I’d experimented with, a Patriot 4gb Class 6 card. But, wanting more space I then ordered the 32gb Class 4 SanDisk card (this brand and class having already been recommended on this site), which, as I said worked when first imaged, but never again since trying to enlarge partitions, even after trying to reimage it again. I would suspect the card, but, like I said, originally, it worked fine. The tablet must work, because the smaller 4gb card still works. So… still puzzled. Any other thoughts from you or anyone else appreciated.
Strange indeed… did you use minitool? I usually use easeus but easeus does not support ext4. So you must be using minitool, same as I. I deleted the 3rd partition and recreated it with size 2GB rather than change size. Someone else pointed out in another thread that the partition type ID needs to be ’0C (FAT32 LBA) not ’0B (FAT32). You might want to try that. LBA I think is large block addressing and may be relevant for your card
When upgrading…do you always use this gapps file: cm10_121011_gapps.zip? Or is there a cm10_XXXXXX_gapps.zip specific gapps for say 1208? Sorry, I haven’t upgraded before, just been making images, anyone know?
You use the same gapps for all builds.
There is a different gapps for cm10.1. cm10.1 is coming.
Okay, I wrote the image using “win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.1-r15-win32.zip”. For some reason the other 2 did not work. Opened up MiniTool Partition Wizard and looked at the card and I see there is no label for “SYSTEM” and “DATA” and both of them are EXT3 partition. To create more space for DATA on my 32GB SanDisk Class 4 card, I deleted the DATA and SDCARD Partition and re-created them again allocating 2GB for my DATA partition and the rest for SDCARD partition. However I still see that the labels are missing for SYSTEM and DATA. Are the labels important? Also does SYSTEM and DATA need to be the same partition type ie. EXT3 or can they be different ie. EXT3 for SYSTEM as it was on the Image and EXT4 for DATA as I created it?
Apologize for the newbie questions, but just wanted to get everything straight.
Thanks!
If it works, it works. If you don’t see it, you don’t need to see it. They’re just labels.
Hi I wanted to know if you have two download a gaps file if you reply I want to thank you in advance.
No, the image comes with gapps.
Thank you I couldn’t figure that out
Nook Tablet 16 Gigs. I imaged a 16 Gig SD card with CM10. Works great, thanks. Why is the MAC address on the image different from the MAC address of the nook tablet?
I saw the same thing. Don’t know why MAC address should be different …
Thank you very much for your work and detail information. I could easily port CM10 onto my nook 16GB tablet.
I am using 1208 image…. everything is good. But, I see the wifi connectivity issue, If the tablet is off for long, the wifi stops working. It is not able to detect/connect to any network. Do you know how this can be fixed?
Thanks!
Hello again,
I have been using the CM10 and it is mostly stable, and I have a few questions:
1. My build is 20121118, and when i choose setting->storage, I always get an “unfortunately, settings has stopped” error. can this be fixed?
2. If I install update, do I have to re-install all the Apps?
3. On the Apps-> Running page, it seems that only less than 700 MB DRAM is used. I thought the Nook Tablet has 1G RAM, is that correct? where is the rest of it?
Thank you very much,
I’ve been running 20121206 and have had no issue for over a week. I see 20121208 is available, and if/when I do update, it looks like the procedure is listed above.
Does updating clear any apps or app data? I also asume the update writes to the SD card and doesn’t alter the internal nook OS?
Love this site. Very informative.
Greetings! Thanks for the guide. I was able to write the image and when I insert the sdcard and boot from a powered-off state holding the N-key gets me to the cyanoboot system. However, it never boots into an OS. Any ideas?
This is using the image contained within cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd_img.rar.
Hello, if you wrote the img to your sd card. All you have to do is power off the nt and insert your sd card. Power the nt on and don’t hold the n. It should boot right to the card. Good luck!
Without holding the N-key to get to cyanoboot, nothing happened. I’m trying on a different card like Fuzzy said below. We’ll see what happens! Thanks.
@dashifen – try a different card. I had that issue with a class 4 sandisk 32GB card. Another class 4 sandisk card worked…and then I got fed up and switch to the sandisk ultras, and all of them have worked now. I made the cards for my friends so success on 5 out of 5 card on 4 different nook tablets with the sandisk ultras (32GB and 16GB).
That did it. Thanks for the suggestion!
I had started this project with an 8GB Kingston class 4 SDHC card ($6 at MicroCenter). It was usable, but not engaging. I just came home with an 8GB class 4 SanDisk card ($6 at Staples) and repeated the installation. Amazing! The first boot zoomed through an order of magnitude faster.
If you are using any card other than SanDisk, do yourself a favor and switch.
I got a SanDisk 64GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I and several SanDisk 32GB Ultra microSDHC UHS-I cards that I’ll do test with later on the week.
I used that exact card (32B ultra microSDHC UHS-I card) works great. On regular class 4 32gb sandisk cards, its 50/50.
Thank you for your work, iamafanof.
I just bought a SanDisk 32GB Class 4 SDHC @ Staples, and it is a no-go for a cold start. Am I reading it right that I should instead pickup a SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card?
I have the regular SanDisk 32GB C4 and it works great with JB. Is your NT one of those wonky one that need to be plug in?
Go here, http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html and download CrystalDiskMark. Run All test and post the results.
You don’t need the Ultra card if you already have a regular SanDisk card.
What Test Size should I be using? Default of 1000MB or smaller size 50MB or 100MB or 500MB?
Here are the test results 50MB / 1 Pass and 100 MB / 5 Passes. If the card results are up to snuff and I happen to have one of those “wonky” nooks, do you recommend installing on the emmc? If yes, can you please point me to the best thread where I can first backup my existing factory setup and then install Cyanogen. Once again, thanks for everything and Merry Christmas.

Your card looks normal. Did the burned card not boot with and without power cable plug in?
I would suggest formatting the card with SDformatter and re-burning the image to the card.
The burned card boots with the power cable plugged in. It does not boot without the cable. I would not like to be out with the Nook Tablet, and unable to start it in case of a cold start. Should I install on emmc?
This seems great, but…
I am having trouble with the partitioning. I initially tried to partition as explained, but i guess I am dense.
I am using a 4GB card
I opened minitools and the sd card, but only saw one partition (no name and fat32). I deleted that partition. I created an ext4 partition named ‘DATA1′ and sized it for 2GB and then created a fat32 partition with the remainder and named it ‘SDCARD’. I then applied the changes….it went through each step (three in all) and said it succeeded on all, but it then only showed the fat32 partition, and said it was the full 4GB…what gives?
I tried to do this one operation at a time as well…same result.
After reading closer, it seems I should have four partitions total…is that correct?
I am actually pretty good with computers, but have been stumped here.
Can someone tell me exactly how many partitions I should have, what to name them, what type they should be, and what size each should be (the fat32, I guess, should be the remainder of what is not used by the first three).
Thanks
@JWD,
Hopefully you copied the one of the images listed here to your SDcard using the WinImage or similar program. Once you have done that you should look at the SDcard card using the MiniTool Partition Wizard program and you should see 4 partitions. Check out this link (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/). This shows a nice picture of the 4 different partitions. So if you imaged the sdcard using the WinImage or similar program, there is no need to delete/create additional partitions.
Sorry, I found the answer in another of your posts.
This is good stuff.
Thanks
Thanks very much! I bought the N*A card, it did not work, just hung with the circling graphics.
Desparate, I attempted your image. At first, for some reason, the download sites are all spam.
When I tried again recently, the image download is OK.
The “winimage” program was hard to understand, and I did not get very far. Then I tried the win32-image-writer, finally able to burn a SD card. Then I put in the Nook, here more info should
be helpful on how to get the boot menu, what item to select from the boot menu. I guessed and
selected the boot SD, and voila, Android is up and running.
Now that everything seems to be stable and working, is there a way to transfer it to inside the Nook, wiping out Nook OS and put in Android ? Many thanks!!!
I found this note from Google search today,

I installed the cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd.img on the SDCard and everything works fine. However when I use Dropbox, I cannot import files to the storage partition. It always says SDCard Full. I have a 16GB Sandisk Class4 card and I have allocated almost 12.27GB for the SDCard partition. Anyone know if there is an issue with Dropbox and this CM10 ROM?
Thanks!
I solved my problem with Dropbox. I looked at the SDCard with MiniTool Partition program and found that the 4th partition labelled “SDCARD” was partitioned as “Logical”. I deleted this partition and recreated it as “FAT32″ and “Primary”. Now Dropbox sees my SDCard partition and I can save the files without any problems.
Hardware video decoding doesn’t appear to be supported. Because of this, the stock video player doesn’t seem to work at all. I’ve tried playing several MP4 files, but only get a black screen followed by an alert that the file can’t be played. I tried playing files from both internal storage and the SD card. I also installed MX Player and it was able to play them but only in software mode.
Is there a version with fully functional video playing? I’ve only tried cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd_img.rar.
Thanks!
MP4 is working for me, maybe a reboot? Supported Mp4 profile, H.263, H.264 (High, Main and Baseline profiles), MPEG-4 (Simple and Advanced), xVID.
I’ve been able to make progress on this. It looks like CM10, regardless of the device, doesn’t handle many video formats that earlier CM versions did. Here’s just one discussion I found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816859&page=23
I haven’t been able to figure out why some videos play and some don’t. About 1/3rd of my videos play. Which is very strange, given that they were all created with either Freemake or Handbrake, and I never changed settings. I tried rebooting, recompressing videos with different compression settings, etc. I feel lame that I’m stumped on this, because I used to develop codecs for Apple for a living =( .
While searching forums for ideas (especially the XDA forums), I found a lot of comments about video support being better in all CM versions before 10. I just tried the beta CM7 for Nook Tablet and it is able to play all my videos without a hitch. I vastly prefer CM10 =), and I think the CM7 for NT is dead (no updates in 6 months), so I’m holding out hope that CM10′s video support will improve over the next few months.
Watching an mp4 clip on mine, running 1208 from sd, right now! Using the built in player.
I do know that anything Flash is tricky in CM10 – you can shoehorn it in certain browsers but others that it worked with in previous CM versions no longer work and technically Flash isn’t supported at all in CM10 and only as a courtesy to users in CM9. Other video formats I really don’t know much about as most things I’ve tried have worked OK so far on CM10 outside of the Flash issues.
Glad this is out there. Tried to make my own and it’s working, but I wanted to install meghd00t’s rom. Tried to replace update scripts and such, and after updating it hangs. Any help would be appreciated.

FWIW, the process works on the preceding version of SGT7+CM10+Cherry Picks dated 11/24.
Is the 1225 experimental version installing to the internal memory? Or is it just a new way of installing it to the sd card?
sdc =sdcard
I download cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd_img.rar and copy to 16Gb card without any problem. However, I don’t see partition label SYSTEM1 and DATA1 in MiniTool. It gives me no label on 2nd partition with file syste ext3 and no label on 3rd partition with file system ‘Other’ (600mb capacity and used 600mb). I won’t able to resize or expand 3rd partition or label it. Also, I used gparted to size the partition and it give me a warning sign on 3rd partition. Am I doing right? Or, is there any steps I missed. If not, how can I resize and label the 3rd partition in the SD card? Thanks for any suggestions.
That image from 1208 didn’t have labels for 2nd and 3rd partition. I deleted the 4th partition then the 3rd partition, then created an ext4 primary (or ext3 primary) 3rd partition and a fat32 primary 4th partition. I allowed 2GB for the 3rd but some use more; this is for android programs (apps) and data. For the 4th partition, let it take the rest of the card for best results. Hope this helps.
@jc9191: I take it back. I just made another card and if I deleted both partitions and made the 3rd one ext3 it didn’t work for some reason. However, making the 3rd partition ext4 primary worked (3gb in my case) and the 4th should be fat32 primary using the rest of your card and named SDCARD. I have no idea why the 3rd partition of the image is “other” to begin with, or why I had trouble with it when I made it ext3, but I’m working with the new card and it’s working on wifi with the other unit using 1208.
By the way, I was still not able to use File Manager to delete the /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin file (then reboot to change the MAC address) because I didn’t know how to give File Manager root access. However, I was able to install and use ROM Toolbox Lite and use the Root Browser to delete the /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin file and reboot so the MAC address changed.
I’m currently using the 12/08 build. Is there any real benefits of moving to one of the experimental builds for 12/25? If so, which one would be the best one to get? Thanks!
I too am in the same boat as rober28 and find the 12/08 build very stable and does everything I want to. But we are all wired to have the latest and greatest and would love to tinker with new stuff. I know succulent has said that if you are happy… no need to update, BUT …. if anyone has found the 12/25 release to be better that 12/08 and find any interesting features that will make it compelling for us to update, please chime in. Thanks!
I flashed the 1225 and what I noticed was a nicer, more tablet-like interface while in settings. It eemed to run well enough, what little time I left it. I did go back to 1208 though because my Accu-weather widget became whit on white (white background instead of blue). Unintalled and reinstalled but it didn’t help. No big deal, I was just experimenting anyway, so I went back to 1208.
Thank you Asawi. I had one more question. I have already made the SD Card with the 12/08 image and it is running great. Now I would like to update to the 12/25 image. In the update instructions that OP posted:
Select “4) SDC Recovery”
In CWM, select “install zip from sdcard”
Install “cm10-xxxxxx_acclaim_sd_hd.zip”
Power off device
Repeat & install “cm10_xxxxxx_gapps.zip”
It says to install the ROM zip and GAPPS zip. Will this install on the external SDCard or will this install on EMMC (internal drive of the Nook)?
Okay never mind .. I found the answer that was posted by the OP in another post:
“updater-script is very important as it tell recovery to install cm10 on emmc or sdcard. I provided one that tell it to install on sdcard but you have to replace the one inside the rom with it.”
So with the SDCard image that OP provided, the updater-script tells the install program to install CM10 on the SDCard.
After literally days of extreme frustration, trying to decipher convoluted posts and instructions on, xda, this blog, other forums, and youtube, and not finding a single clearly written, uncluttered post with a simple path to flash cm10 to my wife’s nook tablet, I noticed that buried at the top of this post is this incredibly simple set of instructions:
“Windows:
Install Win32-image-writer, win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.1-r15-win32.zip or WinImage and run it.
Navigate to the directory of image, cm10_xxxxxx_sd_hd.img
Choose the letter that corresponds to your SDCard
Write the image to SDCard.”
Previously I wasted hours formatting different microsd cards, changing files buried within directories of rar’s of cm10, cm9, cm7, etc.
But this said flash the image. Hmm.
so I went to Wallgreens and saw that they had a sandisk 8gb class 4 card for $9.99.
I downloaded Win32DiskImager.exe and the cm10.0 image.
flashed the image.
I used minipartition wizard and reformatted the last partition to maximize the usable storage.
I swear this process took like 5-10 minutes and the nook tablet booted flawlessly into cm10.
It is a marvel! I have no interest in doing any updates as it runs so great. What possible improvements could my wife need to surf the web, do emails, do her gotomypc office stuff, play freecell, and read e-books on kindle app? the tablet has been transformed and rivals my Nexus 7 for the usual and customary tasks we use it for. Wow!
Next I’m going to pick up a class 6 Sandisk ultra micro sdhc. Not necessary, but I’ll give it a try. Maybe she gets a performance boost over the class 4 card in there now. Maybe I’ll go to 16gb on that card.
My 2 cents on how the OP might be improved for a noob:
IMHO, the OP is littered with unexplained downloads of 18 different image files.
The concept of an image file is not even explained.
Perhaps this post is not even for noobs!
But if you would like to have a clearly delineated noob section of the OP, you already have the easy instructions section.
All the other stuff is not helpful and is in fact confusing as hell. And I am calling myself a noob, despite flashing roms and recoveries on three phones and 2 other tablets. Despite all that that experience, I could not decipher what to do.
iamafanof, I would really, really, really like to THANK YOU for creating the method for me to transform our nook tablet. I bought it because I read it could be transformed, as I have transformed so many other android devices we have. But the nook tablet on cm10 is profoundly different, better, and rivals $250 tablets.
First few lines of this post: “What is this? It’s an image copy of a 2GB sdcard with bootable CM10 Jellybean. You simply burn the image to your 2GB sdcard or bigger and you have a bootable CM10 Jellybean running on your Nook Tablet.”
The “18 different downloads” all have dates in their filenames and most of rthem are in the bottom part, update section. Even “noobs” should be able to filter out what they need. Or maybe download the wrong thing, realize the mistake and have learned something in the process.
Yes, if this indeed was meant to be a foolproof noob’s guide, this post could be cleaned up. I don’t see any real need for it though. So it may take a confused noob an hour or two to get this done instead of 10 minutes, but I’m sure it took OP more than an hour or two to compile this. Just my opinion that of course isn’t worth any more than yours or anyone else’s!
And we do agree that this is AWSOME!!
Appreciate the work putting this together and making it available!
As a follow-up to the SD card type discussions; we used SanDisk Ultra 16 GB MicroSDHC Class 10, (SDSDQU-016G-AFFP-A), cards and wrote the 12/31/12 image to them, (1 for a 16GB NT and 1 for a 8GB NT). Jellybean is working great on both tablets and from all appearances.as fast as the original BN Nook OS. Very stable so far as well plus a bonus; the mic works as does google voice search.
Hi,
I formatted my 2gb micro SD card and it shows 1.83 gb free space and the image file is 1.87 gb and will not load onto my card. Do I need a bigger card
Format your card with sdformatter. 2gb sdcard is 1.87GB in windows.
I downloaded sdformatter and formatted my card but now it shows 1.84gb. What am I doing wrong. I am using windows xp sp3 and using a Sandisk card.
Thanks in advance
Get a different card. A good 2GB sdcard is 1.87GB so your is missing sectors.
Thank you very much for this img and guide. After reading other guides, this was the first to give me confidence to get started.
If I boot with this image into my nook tablet, would it be possible to then install THIS image onto the internal memory of my nook? I prefer this image over other images I have installed onto the internal memory. I believe I read somewhere that this img came with a script to do so. Where can I find instructions on how to do that.
@Arsalan,
Download the cm-10-20121225-acclaim-HD.zip (GCC 4.6) from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/ and also download the JellyBean GApps file from here http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
The follow the guide on installing this ROM internally to your Nook Tablet here:
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=200004
@Joe
Thanks. Is that an experimental build and can I just grab the cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip?
Also, I have noticed this gapps mentioned everywhere. Why is it necessary to install this?
@Joe
Also, one more thing, do I have to do anything special to erase the internal memory before installing a new zip? I am using TWRP
That is the FINAL CM10 build by this OP, so just grab that file.
GApps file is for the Google Play Store. If you want Google Play to function, you need to install that too.
If you follow the Guide in the link I posted, you will need to do a factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache. The ROM you are installing will overwrite the Barnes & Noble stock ROM.
I just updated my Nook to the 20121231 version of the IMG and everything seems to be working well. I did notice though that when I connect the Nook to my PC via the USB cable that I no longer get two entries for the original Nook SD and the new JB SD Card like I did with the 1208 version. With the 1231 version I only get a single entry called Nook Tablet with two folders called Internal Storaage and SDCARD. When I look in these folders I do not see all of the directories that I had access to in the earlier version. Did something wrong installing the 1231 version?
I think that I should have played with the new build a little longer before submitting the above comment. Right after I sent it I was able to access the directories that I didn’t see when I first connected the Nook to my PC. It’s only been a few hours but so far the 1231 build is working flawlessly in both of my Nooks. I noticed that the two Nooks probably have different MAC addresses because my router has assigned them different IP addresses, unlike the 1208 build which had them reporting the same MAC address and causing WiFi interference between them.
Thanks to iamafanof for procucing these image files and making it so simple for us to run CM10 JB in our Nooks. I’m curious now to try CM10.1 once it reaches the same level of stability to see if any of the new features make it noticably better than CM10.0.
You can go into settings – storage – properties – USB computer connection and choose ‘mass storage’ if you want the old behavior. But then you have to enable USB connect every time you plug in
Not sure if anybody else noted this, but with the current img file the SYSTEM and DATA partitions were missing their labels and I had to manually relabel them before the sd card would work on my NT.
Does anyone know what mprovements can be expected with 1231 version versus the 1208 version.
I can’t say I notice any diffrence in performance on my internatl install, but small things like the split UI in settings I really like. Also, the last day I ran 1208 I noticed that “status” setting didn’t work (Obviously not something I use much, I would have noticed sooner…), and now it does. I ahven’t checked out that change in how PC connestion is handled, but it sounds really handy. 1208 would have been perfectly fine for me, curiousity got the better of me… (Hope I won’t have to say “cusriousity killed my Tablet” anytime soon!)
Thanks. I think curiosity has got the better of me also.
I am having some force close problems with the SD card 123112. And everything runs SLOW. not present previously. Anybody else having and issue??
Thanks vry much for the post and detailed instructions.
I am having problems downloading cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC-img.rar, is this image complete?
I was able to dowload and install cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd_img.rar on an SD card, but it’s running much slower than a prior CM& SD.
Is there a way to copy/backup the SD?
In windows I can’t see past the Data partition on the SD, is there a tool to let me copy music and books into the 4th (SD) partition?
Thanks
Mark
If you connect the NT to the PC and enable USB storage you should see the sd card storage partition (as well as the internal user storage that you can also use). At least I do!
And you can make a backup image of your card with the same software you used to write it, “Read” and “save” the card.
I apologize for my my newbie-ness but I am still having difficulty in making a backup copy of the microsd.
In Windows I saw the following files: Altbook.img, boot,img,flahingboot.img, recovery.img, MLO and VLC.
I loaded Win32diskmanager, I was able to see all of the image files. When I tried to read any of the .img file I received an error message “an error occured when attempting to get handles of the file – Error 8″ what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks
What OS? I’ve never seen the error so it’s kind of hard for me to troubleshoot.
1. When making an SDCard image backup, did you select the correct drive? Did you create a file name for the image?
2. If the error persist, did running the program with administrative mode help?
3. What other removable drive are on the system?
More help,

Just wanted to let you know that I picked up a Sandisk 4gb card at Best Buy today and all worked well. Love the new rom!!!
I’m having a problem increasing the DATA partition of the 1231 version. The 600mb size that results from the initial image burn to the SDcard is too small. When I try to increase the size using the steps mentioned above, the SDcard stalls at the cyno twirl. I increased the partition size by deleting the SDCARD partion, deleted the DATA partition, created the DATA partion at a larger size, created the SDCARD pation with the remaining card size. ANt thoughts about what I did wrong?
I had to use ext4 primary for the 3rd partition. When I used ext3 primary it did not work. (This is with the 1208 version but the symptoms are the same as I recall.) Hope this helps. Please let us know how it comes out!
Yup, I had to change it to EXT4 also – I don’t think this is optional, I suspect it’s a little bug. Surprisingly the system partition could be EXT3.
That’s what I did and it worked. What I can’t seem to make work are my mp4 movies. Non are playing. I need to play around abit with this bit, any helpful hints would be great.
Thanks. That change to ext4 did it. Back in business.
disregard comment above, i just reburned movie w/ handbrake, and all is well. ^^^^^^ great job on op, thanks a billion imafanof
I want to swap out my existing no-name 32GB micro SDHC card with a Sandisk card. What is the easiest/best way of cloning my existing card onto the Sandisk card?
You can use WinImage to “read” you existing no-name SDCard and write the img file to your Hard drive of your PC and then use WinImage to “write” this img file back to your Sandisk card.
Thanks, Joe
Is an external microphone supported? I know the internal microphone works. I wanted to try the ‘Square Up’ register device to read credit cards, it uses the microphone jack for input – and got no sign of life when I inserted it. I do not have a headset with single jack phones/mike to try.
Has anyone found a swipe keyboard that will work with version 1231?
Swype Beta works fine for me (I run internally though, if that matters)
Thanks I’ll give it a try.
Can someone kindly provide step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade from the 12/08 to 12/31 image? Thanks.
Bluetooth is not working for me. Is this a known deficiency or am I missing some magic incantation?
The image posted here is a complete image of the 12/31 build. Just use a new SDCard to write the image and you are good to go, or if you want to use the same SDCard that has the 12/08 image, just use SDFormatter to format the SDCard and then use WinImage to write the 12/31 image.
Have you tried the step by step provided in the blog post?
Bluetooth is not working for me. Is this a known deficiency or am I missing some magic incantation?
I don’t think bluetooth chip is enabled.
Do you mean in hardware? I know I got BT to work on my nook color, to a very limited extent. There were some folks working on it, and eventually I could pair, up to maybe a foot distance which ain’t great but – it indicated that BT *WAS* possible. I am just curious whether this is the same on the NT. It’s not working in this ROM apparently, and I have not had much success locating BT info for other ROMs, looking around XDA and elsewhere
It’s physically there, but I don’t think any of the current ROMs have the option to enable it enabled, so to speak.
Has anyone figured out how to sideload music?
Thanks
Just like any other files: connect to you computer and drag and drop in you regular file explorer.
You need to enable USB storage (or maybe use it in MTP mode. I don’t know how that works since it’s of no interest for me).
Asawi,
I have a stupid follow up question, where is the USB Storage setting in CM10? i went through every option in settings and NT hidden settings and could not find it.
Thank you
There should be a notification when you connect it to the computer. The setting between MTP and USB mass storage is under storage, and then the “3 points symbol” top right. That is if we’re talking 1231 build. Also in “Development” I think Android “Devug needs to be enabled. Nit sure about that though…
Correcting myself! It looks like Android Debug doesn’t need to be enabled at all. Oh well…
I did something I don’t think I was supposed to do…. I flashed the “touch screen” and no matter how I boot whether into standard Barnes and Noble stock software or via SD card Cyanogen Mod, My touch screen no longer works! HELP! The hardware buttons still work and I have used the Ubuntu image to write zero’s to all sectors twice now and I still can not get my touch screen to work. any help would be greatly appreciated!

I used the 12/31 mod on my tablet yesterday and it worked 100% fine initially, but when I tried to use it this morning, it was frozen at the lock screen. I rebooted it a couple times, and each time, it either froze at the boot screen or shortly thereafter. I left it powered off for a few hours, started it up and it worked fine for another couple hours, but it went to sleep and wouldn’t come back up. Rebooted it, and now having the same problem again…
Thoughts?
what mod?
Sorry, I am not an expert at computers… when I said “mod,” I meant: cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC-img.rar. Should have been more clear. I did everything as initially instructed and it worked great, but now it’s having problems freezing.
Newbie question. The img worked GREAT, Thanks. Booted up and running in 5mins. I am using a 10gb card on my Nook Tablet 8gb. Problem is that when i check my available diskspace i see I have 302mb/1.1gb and 14.5mb/160mb used. Obviously i would like to have the internal and external card space available to load apps, music and movies. What do i need to do to see the real space?
Where’d you get a 10GB card?
Did you re-size the DATA partition?
Sorry i meant 16gb. card. I am not sure how to resize the partitions on the card or how to use the internal memory.
Connect your Nook Tablet to your PC using the supplied USB cable and when the USB notification comes up, enable it and then you will see the other partitions to copy your music/movies.
I have been doing this wirelessly using AirDroid, so download the AirDriod app from Google Play Store and try it out.
Actually Airdroid is what i used to see my storage space (see above). I don’t seem to have any memory left. Any other ideas?
So i used MiniTool Partition Wizard and i extended the last partition to see the rest of the SDcard memory. So i now have 13gb/16gb available. What about the internal memory is that accessible at all for storage?
Let me explain to you the partitions,
On your SDCard, there are 4 partitions.
p1 = boot partition, store boot files like mlo, u-boot.bin, flashing_boot.img, etc…
p2 = system1, store the OS, OS apps
p3 = data1, store your installed apps and apps data
p4 = SDCard, store your data, apps downloaded data
If you read the bullet points, then you should know to increase the last two partitions, p3 and p4. Read everything.
Thanks again for the info. I will try again to resize P3 though i was not very successful when i tried doing that one first. Maybe after resizing P4, P3 can be expanded. Any suggestions on what the ratio should be? My wife does not have many apps, she probably will have more videos and books for trips. What about the internal SD card, is that not accessible for data?
You can use the internal storage as well as what you squeeze out of the card.
With 16 GB card you can get around 13 GB storage on the card with just resizing the last partition. Add to that whatever you have internally and you have plenty!
1. Delete P4
2. Click on Apply (to have the deletion take place)
3. Delete P3
4. Click on Apply (to have the deletion take place)
5. Allocate P3 as required (including specifying volume label name)
6. Click on Apply (to implement the allocation of P3)
5. Allocate P4 as required (including specifying volume label name)
6. Click on Apply (to implement the allocation of P4)
Use this link from the top of the article – http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/ and read the section titled “General guides for setting up single-boot SDCard:”
Another newbie issue. I used SD Formatter to format a 16 GB SanDisk Class 4 SD Card. I used Win3DiskImager to write the cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC image to the card. MiniTool Partition Manager tells me I have four partitions. Partitions 2 and 3 are ext3, not ext4. Partition 3 is 600 MB. I read elsewhere Partition 3 should be 1200 MB and possibly larger. I used Partition Manager to delete Partition 4 (and applied the operation). Partition Manager would not resize Partition 3 (I tried both using the GUI to drag the right edge of the partition and changing the values in the partition data fields). I tried deleting the third partion (a suggestion I found somewhere), but now the Nook won’t go past the opening animation. So, my questions are as follows: (1) Am I using the correct image? (2) If not, where do I find the correct image? (3) Any idea why Partition Manager won’t resize the data partition?
Read everything if you are a beginner. A lot of these questions can be avoided if people just take time and learn before making mistakes.
1. Most partition apps on Windows don’t see Ext4, but see Ext4 as Ext3. MiniTool can create Ext4 partition which is what Nook Tablet use.
2. P3 DATA1 can be whatever size you want. If you install a lot of apps, make it several GB. For 16GB card, 3-5GB is enough.
3. Delete P3 DATA1 if you can’t re-size it, that is delete DATA1 if can’t expand the existing partition. You want to re-create DATA1 as EXT4, PRIMARY, then re-create SDCARD as FAT32, PRIMARY.
Well, I won’t swear I read everything, but I read enough over the last week that my brain started to freeze up (it is nearing its 68th birthday, so that may be understandable). Regardless, I think you hit the key when you said to recreate the Data partition as Ext4. I haven’t set the Nook up yet, but I’ve gotten past the opening animation. Thank you.
I am setting up my Wifi as I type this…. So far so good!Thank you soooo much! I use a mac and have a 16GB class 4 uSD card and I have been trying to boot from an SD card for ages and wasn’t able to. Thanks a lot!!!
Actually Airdroid is what i used to see my storage space (see above). I don’t seem to have any memory left. Any other ideas?
I wrote the ‘cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd_img’ image to an sd card for my 8gb NT a couple weeks ago and it worked fine. But, is it normal for the screen not to change from portrait to landscape mode when turning the nook? It just seemed to be stuck in portrait mode. That said, I did check the option in settings and it was ‘checked’ to switch but didn’t seem to work. Will a newer update work correctly or is this just how its working for now? Thanks a lot.
cm10 boots fine on my tablet. only issue I have is storage. I when going to settings and checking storage I show a 1.87g internal storage, a 1g internal storage, and the remaining 4.87g of my SD card. how can I use the internal 16g storage that isn’t on the card?
The default img will format the card to only see 2GB. Using a larger card (8 or16gb) will give you more more working space for apps and files. See instructions above by FullScreen57 to repartition memory using MiniTool Partition Wizard. I tried this on a second card and it works perfect. As for the internal memory the only way i found i could access it is with an internal file manager like Astro. This will show up as SDCARD0 and the external one as SDCARD1. The PC does not seem to recognize the NT memory so my best guess is that you can always load the SDCard and then move files over for storage (i.e. music or movies). Hope this helps.
I have no trouble at all seeing the Media partition on my PC. Enable USB storage if it’s “USB Mass storage” in Storage settings, or look for an icon that looks like an MP3 player with headåhones if it’s MTP in storage settings (3 dots top right in settings storage). It will show up as My Nook.
It did!
Jelly bean on the NT is awesome, I could use some advice on the storage. I followed the instructions for formatting using MiniTool from this thread http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/11/how-to-guide-bootable-cm7cm9cm10-sdcard-for-nook-tablet/. I then used winimage to write the 1231 image to the SD card. The NT boots fine into jelly bean, everything works except the storage is 713MB on the card and the internal storage now shows 1GB. I tried it on a Sandisk 32GB card and a Lexar highspeed 16GB card. After writing the image to the card MiniTool shows just the one FAT partition with the 713MB.
Am I doing something wrong that I can no longer see the partitions I need to delete and then resize? I am not a noob but I am starting to feel like one.
Thanks in advance
You need to into a partitioning software (I use MiniTool) and expand the storage partition on the card to use all the unused space on the card.
After formatting and writing a couple of different times I was successful using win32disimager and minitool to expand the SDCARD partition. Everything works perfect so far. I thought it was weird that minitool shows the system and data partitions as EXT3 even though the instructions at the top say they have to be in EXT4.
Does anyone know the fix for the google voice search not working? It force closes every time.
Works fine for me. Not used any fix. Worked right from the start.
Tried on 2 different SD cards. Same issue both times. Saw another site which suggested to try an update google apps. Any chance doing so could break something else?

I did a new download of the 1231 image and burned it to a new card. Voice search still works just fine for me. It ahs worked with every build I have tried from this page. Odd!
After a week or so of having this (12-31) image installed, everything started slowing down. As in previous releases, some apps still don’t recognize the data connection (Ice Age and a few others that I’ve since uninstalled). Today I got a message that Trebuchet was not responding, Ok. Clicked Ok but it kept coming back repeatedly and could not get out of that black screen with the repeated messages. On reboot, it doesn’t get past the Cyanogen Mod animation. The animation continues without end and has been running now for a couple of hours. I don’t expect it to recover. This happened with the previous build too but last time there a was a new release so I chalked it up to a bug that may have been fixed. It was not.
If there are no troubleshooting steps, I plan to re-apply the image 12-31. I hope I don’t have to do this every 2 weeks forever. But if I do have to do that every two weeks, I would appreciate some suggestions on how to keep my settings and apps in tact. The only thing I can think of is to capture the image after I make my changes and then just reapply my own image every 2 weeks.
I’m also curious whether it would be more repliable to flash the internal memory instead of using this SD card method. Any ideas?
Thanks for you help!
I don’t know what’s going on with you setup, but I do know that my setup works flawless. I run 1231 from internal and have done so since a couple of days after release if I remember correctly.
I’m having the same problem as Steve_esp describes. Runs great for 3-4 days, then I download a few more apps and then start getting error messages that Trebuchet was not responding, Eventually, I power off holding power for 20 secs. On reboot, gets stuck endlessly in cyanogenmod boot animation step. I’ve rebuilt the SD card from scratch twice now. This last time, instead of Trebuchet was not responding’ messages, I got ‘out of memory’ messages when trying to download another app ( I really hadn’t downloaded much at all). Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what I may be doing wrong or able to confirm bugs? Thanks.
I really appreciate your work putting the installation procedure and the disk image that allows us to simply flash the image and be done so effortlessly. It runs so well and smooth. Just sweet!
I did it on my CentOS desktop. Pretty much every piece of tools are already there in most stock Linux distros, except perhaps unrar. On a typical Window box, one would have to download quite a few pieces of SW: SDFormatter, MiniTool, 7-zip/WinRAR and Win32imager to get it done.
There are, however, two typo in the Linux procedure above. It should read like this:
…
Unmounts sdcard
~$ sudo unmount /dev/sdcard
~$ sudo dd if= cm10_xxxxxx_sd_hd.img of=/dev/sdcard
That is prob what it looks like on Ubuntu. On my CnetOS box, it is /dev/sdg. No big deal. Any Linux guy would most likely figure it out. I thought I’ll point it out anyway. Just a small token of contribution from a big Linux guy (I run server farms) to the small Linux development.
Hi all…before I go through the effort of making this happen…has anyone on this thread try running the Zinio magazine app. I have a nook tablet using someone else’s image and it won’t run. Complains about needing a stronger network connection.
Appreciate all the info in this thread. This is great.
I get the same message when running from sd. I have this ROM installed internally, and with that setup Zinio works well. I have had that message popping up with that setup as well a couple of times, but I just tapped it and could go on. Running from the sd card it looked like it got totally stuck. Odd!
OK, I did a new attempt today and it worked fine! I don’t know if that is the reason but I noticed yesterday that the data partition (the third one, around 600 MB) was an EXT3 (instead of EXT4) on the image. I wanted to make it larger, so I deletet it with partition 4 (the FAT32). Did a new DATA partition and made sure it was an EXT4, made a new FAT32 partition.
I did not get that network error notice today. If it was just a coincident or if it was the EXT3/4 I do not know!
Can you tell me how to set up to increase speed cifs on JB? I could connect to my PC but streaming very slow. On CM7 3006 built, it works perfectly. thanks for your working
Okay, I give up. I guess I’m just not smart enough to get this stuff. I had an sd card with CM7 on it that I bought off someone, and it has worked fine since last summer, but now all of a sudden it won’t work. When I opened it on my computer, it looked like everything got deleted, although I’m not sure how. So anyway, I’ve been trying to figure out how to do it on my own instead of spending more money. I did the whole creating partitions and extracted the img file, then opened WinImage and the only thing it wants to connect to is “disk 0″ partitions and doesn’t say what’s what. I’d rather not risk just randomly choosing one and deleting my OS. I don’t even know if I have done everything right from the beginning steps, but I feel like I have.. I’m just confused. This is too high tech for me and all I want is the software back on my nook tablet without spending $30 on something I already previously bought. I would highly appreciate ANY help! Are there any steps with true beginner directions out there? I’m hopeless..
hi u just need a good quality microsd card and follow the instruction of iamafanof, that is all.
i had the same problem as you did at the beginning and it turned out the card was bad. use Sandisk.
I’m using a Sandisk 4GB microsd. It is the same one that had the previous CM7, though. So I guess maybe it could have gone bad?
that’s definitely a possibility. use something better like sandisk ultra. they are dirt cheap. i used sandisk ultra 32g.
I figured it out! Thanks everybody. For some reason it would not identify my sd card on winimage with the adapter I was using. I put it in my nook though and was able to do it with my nook connected to the computer. Not sure why that was the issue, but I’m glad to have CM10 on my nook now!
Basically, using Microsoft Windows….
1. Format your old sdcard (2gb or higher) with SDFORMATTER, use the defaults.
2. Download the latest IMAGE file from the link at the top of this post. It is a rar compressed file and needs to be uncompressed using 7ZIP or similar.
3. Download WINIMAGE or WINIMAGER, unzip into a folder, then run Win32DiskImager, browse to and select the uncompressed image file, select the drive letter of your newly formatted sdcard, click on Write. Wait till you get a completed message.
4. Okay, now you have a card that should boot when put into your Nook Tablet.
5. You can expand Partition 3 (Data1) and 4 (Sdcard) depending on the size of your sd card, let me know if you need instructions on how to do this.
Google the items in all caps above to download the programs (i.e. “SDFORMATTER download”)
How do you expand Data 1 and the SDCard partitions?
Assuming you are starting with a freshly generated bootable sdcard from above:
1. Download and install MINITOOL PARTITION WIZARD HOME EDITION
2. Delete both SDCARD and DATA1 partitions from sdcard
3. Create DATA1 partition (2GB works for me), make Primary and EXT4
4. Create SDCARD partition (Balance of available space), make Primary and FAT32
Google the items in all caps above to download the programs (i.e. “SDFORMATTER download”)
Thank You, That’s what I thought. I just wasn’t sure if there were any needed files in the Data1 partition.
Booting JB without a problem, but having problem turning on wifi. A notification says “Wifi turning on…” but nothing happens and wifi will stay turned off.
First of, I love you. This is amazing! I can keep my Nook OS intact AND have Jelly Bean! Yay!
I downloaded the 10-20121231 image and have been messing around with it for a few hours. I am using a PNY 32GB Class 10 card.
My problem is that the system appears to be VERY slow, loading apps or navigating around in them, to the point that the OS thinks that the app has hung. Waiting a while (sometimes minutes) resolves this.
I followed the directions above, so I thought. Any ideas as to why things are so sluggish?
If anyone is willing to help me with this, is there any info I need to give you, or pointers I’ve missed?
Thanks!
As mentioned before, you really want a SanDisk class 4 or 6 card. I had tried with a Kingston class 10 and found it unusably slow. A SanDisk made all the difference.
Great timing.
I had read through the posts here an hour prior and was able to dig up a 32GB Class 4 card I
had originally used with the Nook’s default OS.
It’s another PNY. Naturally, it took quite a while longer to get it flashed and follow the instuctions for fiddling with the partition.
I’ve just finished booting a moment ago. Things seem pretty zippy so far! How counterintuitive, using a slower card to get a faster result. Not that I’m complaining!
Thank you for the reply, and thanks for the great OS and all the time the community has spent on this.
As the last image was dated 12/31/12, I’m guessingt that this project is dead or finished with no further updates coming down the pike, correct?
Thanks again!
This project has terminated. There are two 10.1projects (see links at the top of the page).
Ahh, I see that now. Thanks.
Now I just need to figure out, having just gotten this up and running, if it’s worth updating to 4.2.2.
How is the battery life with this build?
In terms of battery consumption, this build is yet to be surpassed by any other CM10.0 or CM10.1 build.
Use Wheatley governor.
Noticed battery works great when turning OFF WIFI at night. Seems to drain at night even if I set the settings to Keep Wifi on during sleep to NEVER. Any other ideas, this seems to be the easiest (Turn it off when not using the WIFI)
Wish I knew what I was doing wrong, I done EVERYTHING above posted. I bought this card
Sandisk 32GB Class 4 MicroSDHC MicroSD C4 TF Flash Memory Card with SD Adapter and USB SD Card Reader / Writer #R13 (Bulk Packaged)
and I have reformatted and started over twice..all three times, when I go to power on the tablet- I get the normal home screen. Not jellybean.
Many NTs, such as mine, would boot off an SDcard only from power-off and upon insertion of a powered USB cable.
