Backup On CWM10 SD Card Where Does It Go?

When backing up the device using the first choice for backup, where does the backup file go? Also, if using the backup that states internal SD card, is that internal memory or the external SD card? Just need to know in case I want to restore where do you go looking for the backup/restore or will the CWM10 SD card find it for you?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] SovietRussian:
Is this even right if so which button do i hit? http://www.flickr.com/photos/91705338@N02/8329089008/in/photostream
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The first backup choice backs up to the CWM card under /clockworkmod/backup.

The one to internal backs up to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup. Which in cwm terms is /emmc/clockworkmod/backup.

And when you restore, you choose internal or regular and it finds it for you.

Wait, since you are posting in this thread, I assumed you meant backing up stock with my CWM. I see you mention CM10 SD. That is a different CWM and backs up differently. You cannot use that CWM to restore stock.

step by step for nook hd+

ok have been reading all threads on rooting the nook hd+. Can someone please help me in a step by step process on how this is done. I want to do it right the first time. thx.

This is what i have done downloaded.

nookhd+ bootable and wrote onto sd card

now do i add the unversal and manual to card as well?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That is a newer version than I am used to. But when you have the image file right and the drive letter right, choose write. It will write the image to the sd. It will take a while. When it finishes, do what I said in my instructions about removing temporarily, etc.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
After you install the universal root and you reboot, press the n key. A dialog box will pop up and it will ask you which launcher to use. Choose zeam and check always. Then hit the little multi frame thing in the bottom center and you will see Play Store. Open that and register. I am just trying to anticipate your next question. Almost everyone has some experience with android and knows to do that. I am guessing you don't.

Oh, LeapInLar I am talking about your CWM files. There are so many threads here I am getting confused and probably typed the wrong one. I am talking about the files booting from the SD card you've provided. I backed up using both choices and was curious where they are backed up to in case I needed them, etc.

First of All

A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to leapinlar :good:

Its been a long time since I rooted the nook hd(all thanks to you), I haven't ventured into CWM territory yet but was just wondering after reading so many posts that inspite of the registry value being changed to 'manual' it still updates to 2.0.5.

My question is what if:

1. Another registry value, the no. 8 (software version) is changed to 2.0.5, tricking the device to think its already updated ???

2. No. 4 registry value (com.bn.device.fota.update_state) which is currently set as 'check' be changed to something that it doesn't perform a check at all ???

BTW I still haven't connected to the net with the device, all apps have been sideloaded. Will wait for your answer before going the CWM way.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You are right, left and right. You obviously got the universal root right or you would not have zeam.

Did you install the gapps zip from my mediafire account?

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, changing the version in the registry value will not help. It reads the version from the build.prop file in /system and you cannot change that easily without causing a reset.

And that status registry value gets changed to 'successed' in mine after the update to 2.0.5.

Instead of living without wifi I suggest you let it update and use the CWM root method.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] gvw755:
Thanks

Thanks LeapinLar for all the work you've done on this and for showing so much patience with the newbies. I had some experience in rooting with my nook color and so I was able to follow your directions and get it right the first time (although when I did it, your directions were a little more confusing). I have your build working on my HD+ and I have an SD card with verygreen's build and keep switching back and forth to see which I would like to stay with.

One question I have is if I wanted to restore my HD+ to original, can I just use the "erase and deregister" setting in the original HD+ menu?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That will get rid of root, but it will leave traces in /system since it does not does reset that. To truly get back to virgin, you either need to change something in /system so it resets itself or do the 8 failed boot procedure.

does cwm sd boot work on 2.05?

i just got a new nook hd with 2.05 firmware.

when i try to boot the emmc sd image, my nook hd screen flashes momentariy but then does nothing. i've reburned the sd card image about 3 times (it's a sandisk 32gb class 10 card).

can anyone verify that this mod works on 2.05 ??
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, it works on 2.0.5. One other user is having this problem. Does the same thing. Don't have any answers why not yet. My advice was to try other card, but that card you have should be working.

See if you can get the CM10 image to boot.

EDIT: When you say it flashes momentarily, you mean the nook logo comes up for a few seconds, then it flashes and goes blank?

It works like a champ!

There was some tinkering, but I have pretty much everything I want working (oddly AppBrain just started glitching - meh).

I ended up:

- Using Win32DiskImager (I use Win7) to create the 4 gig image (on a spare 32gig stick) found in the NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6023-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev1.zip file.

- After the image had been written, I copied over NookHDplus-factory-2.0.0-rooted.zip and NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras-for-stock.zip.

- I inserted the modified memory stick into my Nook HD+ and turned the device off. It should be noted that this HD+ had been "semi-rooted" and had been updated to 2.0.5.

- Pressing on the power and "U" button (at the same time) the Cyanoboot splash screen came up (yaay!).

- Using the volume buttons (and the U button for "accept," power for "back") I went ahead and do a wipe data/factory reset. Rebooted the device and kept the memory stick inserted. Did this just for good measure - it may not be necessary. Wiping Delvik cache may also be over the top, but I did that as well (old Nook Color trick).

- Did the same twiddling of buttons as above but this time I selected to install zip for sdcard, and first had it run the NookHDplus-factory-2.0.0-rooted.zip, followed by the NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras-for-stock.zip. Rebooted and signed in to my newly (completely) modded HD+.

Thanks so VERY much to the devs and the other posters for all their awesome work!! The device was "semi-rooted" in that I was able to get some items working, but had a bugger of a time with Google services and with Play crashing without fail (despite muuultiple root attempts). Some sideloaded apps worked and others didn't... So I took a chance with the newer tools. : )

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You may want to flash the unknown sources and manual OTA zip. Those are the extras in the gapps zip. But you did not boot first with the 2.0.0 ROM and register before you flashed the gapps. That means the database files that the extras was supposed to modify did not exist yet. So those settings were not modified. No harm done, just flash the small zip from the post.

thanks. i'll give it a try later. the rev 1 image took minutes to write; the rev image took seconds. and the zip sizes were very differnt. i'm hopeful....
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mrbudman24:
Rev2 works now on an HD that I was having issues with. I would get the jagged screen and then it would go to black screen and dimmly flash in the background. Writing the new image took about 10 minutes and after removing the SD card from computer and reinserting it right back into the PC, I was able to move the Universal Boot and GAPPS zipped files to the SD card.

Booted from the card and up came the menu. Selected zip from card and ran the Universal boot first and installed it. Then I selected the GAPPS zip file and installed it.

Removed SD card and used tool to reboot system.

After putting the SD card into the Nook HD, the whole process took about 5 minutes.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] thegracious:
a small question plz:

How to use the white-on-white zip file?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
What that zip does is replace one of the stock files that sets the colors that are used by third party apps. For some apps the dialog boxes would display with white text in a white background so they could not be seen. This mod changes the white text to a very light grey so it can be read on a white background.

You install the zip just like all the other zips listed in the OP, by flashing with CWM. But it is only for HD+ and you must use the version that matches your version. If you by mistake flash the wrong version, the boot will hang at 99%. To fix that, go back and flash the right version.

Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
[Nook HD, HD+ General] thegracious:
one more question (sorry for my noisiness).

Could we use the .img size of this thread (for backup) flashing the stock rooted rom. (the fully revert to version 2.0.0)

Ps. If your mediafire acc are out of bandwidth for the stock rooted rom. You can share this file to me and I will add it to mediafire for sharing with the others. (at least that all the things i can help).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Im not sure what you mean by this question. The image on this thread is very small but will do everything the bigger 4GB brother will do. It just does not have room on the card for large backups or larger zips like the rooted stock. But it will flash it ok. In fact you can download the larger zip to your internal memory and flash with this CWM by chosing the zip from internal memory.

If you want to download the rooted stock zip and put it on your mediafire account, that is fine with me. But be warned, it is 350MB so it does not take many downloaders to use up your bandwidth. I will PM you with the link.

EDIT: OK PM sent
[Nook HD, HD+ General] JcBrad:
I want to make a comment and ask a question. First the comment: Leapinlar I know from experience running my own company how frustrating it can be to hear the same questions over and over again while providing what seems like the same answers each time. Well done, you have incredible patience! Please keep it up so we can learn from this site.

Now the question: I followed the much earlier threads on installing from ADB when these things first came out and had success with root and Google, blocking OTA Updates etc. I followed the newer instructions just the other night to use the zip install for CWM on my wife's and it worked beautifully!, It seemed possibly more functional than mine after the zip install. I was wondering if there is any benefit to doing that to my HD+ instead of the original ADB directions. If there is should I just install over what I did before or somehow restore it first? Thanks again for all you are doing here it has helped me learn more than you could imagine. :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You could probably just apply the zips over the top of what you did before. I made them compatible with the prior mods. The root is better than either the verygreen or someone0 roots. The gapps are the same as someone0's recent gapps. If you used his very early gapps that used the 60mb downloaded gapps file, then I would recommend starting over because that is not compatible. (That was jellybean and the correct gapps are now ics).

To start over, back up your media stuff and write something to /system and it will reset via the 8 failed boot procdure, including wiping all your data. Then let it update to 2.0.5 and re-register. Then apply the zips. Then restore your media.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Techmomof5:
Hi Leapinlar,

I just did your root/gapps to my sons Nook HD and looks like it works. I do have a few questions and forgive me but Im not familiar with the nook and the rooting. when I press the n i get the android green guy and zeam launcher, im assuming that is how he would switch back and forth? Also what are these apps and what are they used for moby ****, nookHWTest, nookviewer, Superuser, Terminal Emulator, testcenterservice, white balance setting. The Moby **** when I tap on that one it doesnt do anything, the nookviewer is just a white screen, superuser i saw you mention in your root/gapps installation but not sure how to work it. Do you have a rooting guide for dummies lol. how else can he install apps to the nook such as android market, amazon market, etc. And another question...if i ever needed to do a recovery from the CWM to get it back to the original before rooting how would I go about doing that. this is all info I would like to get some help on. sorry for the 1001 questions. Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Ordinarily when you press the n key and that choice pops up, most people check the little box that says do this always and select zeam. That makes it so whenever you press n zeam pops up. Then to get back to the stock home, you use anycut to install a shortcut on your zeam screen. Long press on the zeam screen and select shortcut when the box pops up. Select anycut and activity. Scroll down to home and select it. The click on ok and 'home' will show on the zeam screen. You can use that in the future to get to the stock home.

Those other apps are a mixture of apps I put on there and some stock apps. You can ignore most of them.

Mobydick is a live wallpaper. And clicking the app does nothing. It is for when you select a wallpaper that it is used.

If you don't understand what those other apps are, you will never use them anyway. You don't do anything with superuser except open it once and close it.

What you want most and what I answered in your other question in the other thread is Play Store (I assume you installed the gapps zip, if not, do it). Play Store is the same as android market and is where you will get most of your apps, including kindle. Just open that and register with Google and you will have access to many apps, both free and paid.

And to restore back to what I assume you backed up before you started, just boot to the CWM card, chose backup and restore, then restore. Then pick the file you backed up to and do it.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Techmomof5:
One last question and I think I should be completely out of your hair...My son likes to create his own wallpaper how can he upload them to the zeam launcher as that background is completely black but when he first gets in the zeam launcher it actually has his prior background from stock then he goes into the apps "four cubes at bottom" that leads him to the page that is black with all the apps from the rooting. hope im making sense here. anyhow, so if i am making sense then how could he get a wallpaper loaded and saved? thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I don't know a lot about how to make and size wallpaper, but I have found it is best to set the wallpaper in the stock home launcher. Then zeam picks it up. If I set it with just zeam, it will disappear after a while.
