The op here needs to be updated, there is an image on xda that will load any nc rom zip onto the sdcard. I'm posting from my phone or I'd paste links. I'll probably get on the pc later and post some links.
I've rooted my phone and Ipod touch by following the instructions found online but I'm having a hard time with the Nook cause there seems to be so many options and versions of this and that. Do you know anywhere that gives easy to follow step by step options on how to root (or just give access to market apps) the Nook Color? Could I just use this Nookie Froyo (NookColor: Nookie Froyo - nookDevs) will this give me access to market? and will it work on my version 1.2.0 NC?

I mostly agree... and I will eventually... But I promised my wife I would keep it stock for a while. I was hoping this Nookie thing would let me play with android in the mean time...
the frustrating thing is - across several threads here and XDA, they just say "image this and boot the NC"... If this was complicated, I could deal with not getting it right... but screwing up a simple process bugs me...
The image program doesn't matter but the problem i had (was busy beofre and couldn't answer) was that i kept getting an 'error' when trying to make
SD card cm7 (or whatever its called) flashable. I finally just ignored the error and renamed the the 2 files it says to and it worked perfectly....
I'm having trouble getting this to work. I get a write error from Win32 Disk Imager, "Not enough space on disk." Any advice?
[EDIT]
Problem solved. It looks like Win32 Disk Imager and the built in SD reader on my laptop did not get along. I used an external SD reader, and it worked.

I'm sorry that I cannot provide a link, but I have read several posts that load the Market as a separate step after one has the SD card created and running on the N/C.
I wish I could help more ... and hope that this helps now.

So I just found out about booting to Froyo from an SD while reading comments on engadget about the NC 1.4.1 update.
Since there hasn't been a post here since October, is this still the case? I would love to be able to use my wife's NC as a tablet. She says she is fine with it as long as when she turns it on it's "stock" for her.
I don't need HC or ICS, I just want to get an SD that is the most stable and has a working Market. This way I can have tablet capabilities until I buy my own tablet in the future.
CM7.1 stable is what you want. Whether you choose to buy an over-priced one (and kill a kitten in the process) or make your own, is your own choice. Here's our guide to a sdcard install. I'd recommend buying a 16gb or 32gb class 4 Sandisk card if you choose to do this.

I got to tell you. I read that whole thing and could barely make it out. My tech skills are disappoint. I'm the kinda guy who would rather throw someone who actually knows what they're doing some scratch to set it up for me.
It's one step at a time... not impossible. Best to have a friend, neighbor, IT person at work, do it (so you can have them update it later) than to buy a overpriced card.
Since CM7 is so much better than Nookie Froyo, do we need to unsticky this thread, let it sink to its rightful place among the others, and create a new, clean thread about CM7 on SD? Just a suggestion...
