New nook ! need help with cm* install ! Thanks :)

[optimusv45]

Hi,
I just bought a nook color. I'm trying to install nightly cm9 on it. i have been reading and i have some questions .. please help i don't wanna turn my new nook into paperweight lol. I understand i need to make a bootable sd card with CWR on it. i understand there are newer version CWR out there now but I am only able to find 4gb version of 3.0.2.8. Will that cause a problem ? Do i have to use 4gb version CWR? I can find 1gb CWM 3.2.0.1 ( i have a 4g micro sd card ). About wiping, i know with android phones you always wipe before you flash roms but i have been reading, posts suggest to wipe cach and dalvik AFTER flashing cm and gapps. Is that the correct order to wipe? [GUIDE] Install CM7 or CM9(!) + Clockworkmod to EMMC - ALL NOOKS! (Updated:1/16/12) - xda-developers This post from XDA don't even mention wiping dalvik. So what exactly should i wipe and in what order? Also in that post it says after you flash, without rebooting you are to remove sd card and format it on a computer... since its a bootable CRW, the nook color doesnt even have the recovery on it , will removing the sd just cause it to crush ? Please help ~ Thank you.

That's because they aren't done with it. I'm sure the kind, good hearted folks who contribute to this forum and are much smarter than me will publish some clear instructions like they have for CM7. I intend to wait until that happens before trying my hand at it

Its really the same process as cm7 for cm9, but a larger SD card partitipn is needed if you are planning on running from the SD. Go to the nightly thread, download his edited SD card image for cm9, and follow my cm7 guide here, just using a cm9 nightly instead. Maybe I'll update my guide.
