Yes I have searched for an answer but cannot find one. I am rooted but decided to update my 1.2.3 to the 1.5.2 recovery image. I am going back through the steps in the wonderful guide "theresthatguy" put out and when I try to push the image to the card it says that it is a read only file system. So now what? I tried just moving it over in Windows then flashing it but it says file not found when I do that. Help anyone?
Really? I figured this would be easy for someone or are we spending to much time on all the drama. Just looking for help. This is what forums are for right? Sharing knowledge.

format your card and make sure your rooted first.
sorry your being neglected buddy
im trying to wade through the threads and help sort out the problems
are you using the flashrec method? thats the easiest way.
hope i helped.
You can also just mount the sd card and copy and paste. There is also a newer recovery image out. 1.6.2
I have never been able to use the push to sd method I just move them to the sd card through win and then continue as far as not being able to see it you need to make sure that you
Code:
cd/sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
wait till you get # then
Code:
reboot recovery
I would suggest going to 1.6.2 though
Thank you for the replies. I did the flashrec method origionally because I was having the same problems. Now the flashrec just shows an error and cannot do anything with it. I tried reloading with no luck. I did a format but maybe I messed it up. I didn't know which one to do.

sounds weird, you are rooted already right? maybe try a different sd card perhaps?

I am rooted. I get a # when connected to adb. I guess I will just keep messing with it. I am going to try the 1.6.2 though. Thanks. By the way? how do you format your card? I don't see that option.
I'm reading this of my phone so there may be a solution already, but here is another idea.. If you can get to tyre market.. Download ROM manager, flash their recovery image from within the app
then towards the bottom there is an option to flash the 1.6 RA.. It worked on my wife's phone when I couldn't get adb to work loading 1.5 RA

also if you flash a rom that supports app2sd make sure you format and partition your sd card in recovery as well. you want swap/ext2/fat, you can allocate the size for each.
me i have 96mb swap / 1024 ext2 / and the rest in fat

no go into recovery and create a partition. it should go in order of swap/ext2/fat. you can also convert your ext2 to ext3 or 4 as well. are you saying it isn't giving you that option?
Correct. I don't have a create partition option. Hoping to get that with new recovery image.

I currently have the partitions for /system and /data set as 200Mb. i am going to try and add on more for /cache, but I am looking into making it as small as possible, since many would not be installing a lot of extra apps. It could be as small as 330Mb total.
so will i need that APPS2SD thing for this?

sweet..your the man..cant wait!
One important thing I would like to propose here for the developer is a "standard" location somewhere on the SD card which would keep all the common data such as contacts, recent sms, call logs, etc. so that multi boot environment can share data without loss or duplicates.
In other words, boot to CM6 tonight and in two days when you decide to go back to stock ROM, all your sms, phone calls and such are picked up right where you left them in CM6 and vice versa.
Other than that, this sounds like an awesome thing. Can't wait to have the phone boot one ROM for Monday, another for Tuesday, and another for Wednesday and another...

Not really possible. Different rom versions (2.1 vs 2.2) store the data in different formats. You'll have to rely on something like titanium backup to handle it.
How exactly is the dual-booting done? Does the batch script need to be controlled from the computer, or have you made a custom bootloader for on-the-fly switching?

very good question
It's pretty simple if you have ever extracted the ramdisk and kernel from boot.img
The recovery has not been modified and the only time a computer is used is to setup the ROM the first time. You have to modify the boot.img from the ROM you want to installed on the sdcard. Once it has been changed, all you do is flash the boot.img of the ROM you want. I have mine setup where everything for the ROM is stored on the sdcard (/system, /data, and /cache) but have not been able to test out cache yet.
The reason for a non modified recovery is so that it can be done on any android phone.
I may put up a way to do this while I look into the script.
that is awesome you got so far so quick. i was hoping the squashfs tip would help you out. cant wait to see what approach you took.

Oh, I see how you do the dual boot now. But I have one more question. How exactly do you get the rom on the SD? Do you use an ext partition or just put it on the FAT partition? Or is there some other partition type that I haven't heard of?

Since everyone has a different size sdcard and most do not want to format the sdcard completely I will provide instructions on how to partition it correctly.

Post #2 has steps on setting up the sdcard
Just wondering but whats the plus side to this as opposed to just having different nandriod backups to flash between? I know it would be faster to boot but imo that's not woth all the partitioning of the sd card and what not. Now if it allowed you to run Windows Mobile roms from the SD then that would be awesome. I had a dual boot on my old HTC diamond and thats where I first discovered Android
Well, this one was not really asked for, but I need it for my other testing, and I imagine people might be interested in having the option.
This is also a bit more like a proof of concept (and a bit crude at that), even though fully functional - Stock ROM fully bootable from sdcard.
I don't think a lot of people would use this as a daily driver, but it certainly beats having stock on sdcard vs needing to restore stock in EMMC every time you need to test one little thing (or you might buy a few more Nooks, I guess. B&N would certainly appreciate that ).
Limitations and differences from real stock:
- currently there's no access to emmc storage partition as I wanted the setup to remain as vanilla as needed at first
- adb is on by default, though (As root).
- You can actually change files in /system as much as you want - secure mode is off.
For ovation (Nook HD+) You'll need a special ovation image that you'll need to write to an sdcard, at least 4G in size. (gunzip and use dd or winImage)
For hummingbird (Nook HD) You'll need a special hummingbird CWM image that you'll need to write to an sdcard, at least 4G in size. (gunzip and use dd or winImage)
Also get the the stock image (see below) and either place it to internal storage or reboot from the card and use adb push it to /sdcard (basically it's like you install CM ROM, refer to user-friendly thread in General if you cannot follow my condensed instructions here, only use different file name). Note this already has gapps and other stuff, so you don't need any additional installs other than stock at the beginning.
Stock images:
For ovation: stock-ovation-2.2.0.zip (If you are upgrading from 2.1.1 or before, you also need to flash cyanoboot-ovation-2.zip)
For hummingbird: stock-hummingbird-2.2.0-new.zip (If you are upgrading from 2.1.1 or before, you also need to flash cyanoboot-hummingbird-1.zip)
So after you install this thing, reboot. CWM will warn you that the image is not rooted. Decide for yourself if you want to root on the spot or not.
The dimmed Cyanoboot logo will stay on for quite a while (52 seconds for me) - don't worry, it's doing something.
You'll be able to adb in about halfway through that.
Then you'll see familiar Nook Stock white booting screen, this one will stop at 99% - again no fears, it takes quite a while here till the thing rebuilds the caches, on my class4 sandisk it takes 2m40s
Once it's done - you'll be prompted to register and all that.
Now you are done, enjoy.
Now I also have a script to automate creation of the stock zips for sdcard install, so you no longer need o wait for me to create these files
History:
Old Stock images:
For ovation: stock-ovation-2.1.0.zip stock-ovation-2.1.1.zip - these need a special old ovation image
For hummingbird: stock-hummingbird-2.1.1.zip - these need a special old hummingbird CWM image
This is awesome. This way if users want to dual boot, they can put stock on SD, CM10.1 on emmc and not worry about resetting stock. That way they can add things to stock /system directly. Curious to see if the CWM root works.
Thanks for this.

I hope I can just backup existing data partition from emmc stock and restore to sd card stock (via tar or possibly CWM) and the result will run without starting from scratch.

You should be able to, if you backup with the emmc CWM and advance restore just data with SD CWM.

Hello, I am/was planning to install this alongside my CM10.1 EMMC setup, but now that I reread this thread -again- it doesn't seem to have a way to dual boot. I mean when SD would be inserted it would boot to Stock, when not it would boot to CM, but the ideal would to be able to switch from one OS to another w/t having to add/remove the SD card quite as frequently, no?

You can dual boot if you go to my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42295360.
Follow the directions there and it will put the cyanoboot menu on the SD. Then you can change the default to boot to emmc instead of SD if you want. Just remember the terminology is backwards though, stock means emmc and CM10.1 means SD.
Then every time it boots with the SD inserted it will boot to emmc and if you want it to boot fully to SD, just press the n key to get to the menu and choose CM10.1 (SD).

Whoah! That's exactly what I was looking for, didn't know it would work with "Stock-SD" .
Thanks, as always, leap
Now all it remains is to find a way to enable "unknown sources" to this rom and I'll be set (the method used for "emmc-stock" doesn't work here unfortunately).
Again thanks (both to VG and leap, and to the rest of the community that may have helped )
Hello, sorry to double post (and bump this thread) but I found out why's it impossible to enable "unkown sources" using the "extras.zip" that is been given to leaplinlar's thread. Apparently it searches for the EMMC partition whereupon it tries to enable the changes (install zeam, enable "unknown sources", etc). Given that this install uses the SD-card one would only need to redirect "uknown sources" script to search (and run on) SD card.
Given my non-experience in writing android-scripts I found a hard time to do just that, so if leap or anyone else would be able to modify the script (and post it as a flashable zip if possible) so that to run on an external stock setup, I think, it's something that belongs in this thread as it's the only thing missing from VeryGreen's experimental rom (it actually runs perfectly, root included, it only lacks "unknown sources")...
Again thanks, to all involved, for your work.

Just one thing to add (sorry for the double post): This solution does not work as it interferes with VG's method to boot stock from SD. Upon replacing the boot files, it would simply refuse to boot to Stock (SD), it will hang on the selection screen. The EMMC setup -of course- will boot just fine, so I guess that/this need to be reworked as well ... sadly.
Thanks anyhow

Did you take the SD out when you tried to boot to CM10.1? If you did and it would still not boot to CM10.1, just reflash the CM10.1 emmc ROM zip again. That should fix CM10.1.

I'm not a developer but external memory as internal is set by default in Matrix ROM which is in Android development section. So you can try it. Or look inside it and find changes that you need.

@varun.chitre15 Could You help me with it?
Using external as internal is risky. Could damage your card so very badly.
I will make you ramdisk when I get home (6-8 hours),but you will need to pack it yourself, because I don't want to reshare varun's work.

So I have that Iphone 8 clone .. running on android 4.2.2 and I've been trying to install twrp.. yet I can't find any good twrp for this.. also I tried porting but I somehow can't manage to get it working .. tbh I don't really get it, It's like, the twrp size is too big or something in comparison to stock one.. as far I can only install cwm.. but I can't really use it xd.. cause this clone has no sd card slot.. oof..
so what I am asking for is, Can someone help me port / find good recovery for it ? or at least explain what should I do.. etc.. ?? ^^' .. I'd be grateful.

You don't have to have an SD card slot to use CWM. If you can get CWM installed, use it, it can flash files from your internal storage, it doesn't require an external SD card.

Apparently I can't seem to find any other option than " flash from SD card"

That is what CWM labels the internal storage, if you had an external sdcard in, it would be called sdcard1 and would show an option to flash from sdcard1.
It gets confusing sometimes but not all android software labels internal and extetnal sdcards the same. Some label internal memory as "sdcard", some label external memory as "sdcard".

No, not weird. It would say that because it can't mount your internal storage. And that would mean that it isn't working correctly and would not allow flashing from internal even if you had stuff stored on it that could be flashed.
See, you aren't understanding that the term "sdcard" does not always refer to an external sd card. Android devives use solid state storage, the internal storage on android IS a sdcard, it's just a permanent one instead of a removeable one.

Keep trying to port TWRP. Have you tried the tool that automates the process to port TWRP for MTK devices? Or have you been manually trying to port TWRP?

Somhow.. That tool gives me an error that, I don't remember exactly ( I'm away from home atm) that twrp is too big in comparison to my stock recovery and I can't simply use that tool -_- and yes, I also tried manually

I'm not real familiar with the process because I'm not an MTK user, but that can be fixed by changing a few parameters during the build/port process.
It involves adjusting the size of your recovery partition to fit the size of the file.
Similar to what is discussed in the thread linked below, it might not explain it well but it gives you the idea of the issue and how to fix it, you might need to look for other threads that discuss the solution in order to get it working for you. I'm just trying to get you pointed in the right direction, whether I can find your specific answer or not.

Look around for things related to this and you'll find a solution.
