Root Bootable CM7 on SD for Nook Color fails

[gbaron]

I tried twice rebuilding SD card each time. At step 11 where I power on and it boots the card and eventually it should give the setup screens all I get is a loop on the Skateboarder and arrow that circles. I never get the setup screen. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks.

I moved this to root section since it's regarding a custom rom.

Did you use these directions? http://androidforums.com/b-n-nookcolor/367116-how-download-install-cm7-run-off-sd-card.html

It could take up to 5 minutes for first boot. Did you wait long enough?

I did use the directions and I waited 20 minutes watching it loop.

The directions seem to suggest using "write" from the WinImage disk menu, yet my directions for creating a bootable CWR sdcard using WinImage say to use "restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive".

I've never created a rom on a sdcard, but I wonder if that's the problem.

'Restore' is what I did when creating mine. Also, make sure you're running it as administrator. Which is a separate program in the PC.

I have added that to the guide. Thanks.

I've had to tweak my guides several times too.
