No it is not possible for B&N to modify the HD bootloader so it will not boot from SD without screwing up all their other devices.

And you say you cannot see the SD in a PC after imaging it. That means you did it wrong somehow.

Try making one of my bootable CWM SDs from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Use the new procedure in item 1a. Then you can tell if it boots an SD ok. This won't help with the SD install, but will tell you if it boots from SD ok.

Huh? How can you burn the image to only one of the partitions? Are you sure you're following instructions correctly? Burning the image wipes out everything on the SD card and partitions and formats what's on the image.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] mogators1:
I have this up and running but am not able to boot to stock with the sd card in. I have a stock option in the CWM menu, but it is dimmed and will not let me select it. I did mess with the partition sizes, I made the /boot partition larger to put the rom and gapps in there which ended up not working. I realized later I was supposed to copy those files over to the emmc and flash them from there and that worked. Everything seems to be working other than the dimmed out options in the CWM menu.

I have a bricked Nook HD and figured I could try running CM10 from SD card. I managed to write cm10-sdcard-installer.img. to SD card using Winimage and boot into CWM which the partitioned the sd card correctly. Unfortunately every time I attempt to reboot, it boot straight into recovery. Unfortunately it turns out the partitions on the Nook are messed up and apparently I need /emmc to be working for this to work. I did however come across sdcard-cwm-early-noemmc-2.img.gz and cm-10.1-20130819-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-noemmc.zip which I thought may be a work around. Unfortunately my nook doesn't boot into recovery and is stuck at nook logo. My questions are:

Is there a noemmc version of the CWM .img file

Is there a noemmc CM10 or 10.1 .zip version

I should also add I do not have Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

not a noob to flashing, but a nood on this HD forum.

I was on 2.0.0.5 and followed the OP steps and now i'm booting into Cynogen :), but I cant seem to flash the gapps. I read on another thread about using ubuntu and adding gapps to CM10XX part of the partition...is this still the procedure? if so, after its put into that partition can I flash from CWM?

also, I first time I flashed the gapps I released the sdcard and it booted into B&N stock rom..is this normal? will I need to have the SD card in all the time to boot into Cyanogen?

much love and respect to you developers and flashaholics!!!
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
yes you need the sd card to be inserted always since CM10 is installed to and booted from the sd card. gapps can be installed as usual using cwm but it will be installed in the sdcard/CM10.

How do we just flash the newer (correct orientation CWM)? I don't want to wipe out the existing installation on the SD card.

Thanks,

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bokbokan:
Download the newer file and burn it to an unused sdcard, copy uImage from that card located in the 'boot' partition and replace the file of the same name in your existing installation.

Updated: It should be the ramdisk.cwm and not the uImage file.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Burn the new cwm zip to another card and put it in the PC. Copy the kernel and ramdisk.cwm files. Put your existing SD in your PC and replace the existing files with these. That should upgrade it.

Lol, bokbokan beat me to it.

I currently am running rooted thanks to the instructions here:

Awesome by the way as well as the great work from the OP in this thread :good:

That means I still have access to the standard B&N launcher and any content in there. I assume that since this is flashed onto an SD card, if I remove the SD card and reboot I'll be back to running stock ROM is that right? :confused:
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] angellsl:
This is only for sd. Your content in the internal is not effected. Yes, remove the sd card let you go back to the stock os.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bdogg:
This may be a dumb question, but hope someone can assist.

I'm using a 32gb SD card with CM10 on it and i'm trying to load books and musing on it. First, with connecting the Nook HD to the PC the USB Mass Storage is not working, so I took out the SD card and connected to the PC and it says I only have a very low amount of MB but my card is 32 GB. How can I access the rest of my storage space?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Windows can only read the boot partition on a SD installed system. And the boot partition is very small.

The right way to get files on your SD media partition is to connect with the USB cable. But this version of CM10 does not work right in USB mass storage mode. You need to switch to MTP mode. Go to settings/storage and hit menu. Choose USB computer connection and choose MTP instead of mass storage. Then when you plug in, the folders will show up in your windows explorer as a portable device rather than drive letters.

It's alive!

Thank you all, especially bokbokan and verygreen. CM10 is now working on my sister's Nook HD.

One tip and one question though:

Tip: Use a live distro of Slax to work with the SD's partitions. It's slim and very user-friendly.

Question: Regarding Gapps.. can I extract and install the apks one by one [particularly the Play Store] from the SD card on CM, or do I have to flash the zip via CWM?

I have a question, and sorry if this is dumb...I'm currently using CWM and am interested in moving to CM10. What I like about CWM is that you can set up a shortcut to get to the stock Nook homescreen. From what I gather about CM10 it's more of an all encompassing Jellybean environment. Is it still possible to have a shortcut to say, your stock Nook Library using CM10?

Thanks in advance! I'm leaning. Slowly, but I'm learning.

EDIT: I've written CM10 to my Sd Card and when I tried to put the Gapps zip on it so I could install it it says my SD card only has a capacity of 200 megs (actually 16gb). Did I mess something up?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] thedjin:
I see.. alright, thanks a lot, flashing as soon as I can get the zip in the card again hehe =]

By the way, I tried sending a file via bluetooth from my phone [Galaxy S2, stock rom, rooted] and the Nook was never able to receive the file, although both devices could see each other.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] curiousmike:
I'm just not having any luck with this.

To be clear, I'm downloading "cm10-sdcard-installer.img" from the first post of this thread.

I use Win32DiskImager to write the .img to my micro-SD card; I've tried the two different micro_SD cards that I have.

I'm writing nothing else to the SD card other than the above .img.

With both cards, the Nook HD+ boots into the Nook OS ( well, modified using these steps http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35860538&postcount=5 )

Am I missing an step other than writing the IMG to the SD card and expecting it to boot into CM10 ?

( I've also used EaseUS Partition Master to nuke the SD cards partitions and format them Fat32 prior to writing the .IMG; I thought the .IMG would have the details on how the partition should be constructed ? )

Here's an interesting one..... don't know if it's a bug or not (testing on a Nook HD w 12/29 build).

I play X-Plane - and it runs well on the Nook HD.

For clarity, when X-Plane launches it goes into landscape mode ("N" button is on the right).

In the actual play, you are meant to tilt the top of the tablet towards you to pull nose up and tilt the top of the tablet away from you for pushing nose down. This is reversed.

There isn't any way in the game settings to reverse the sensor.... wondering if it's a ROM thing.

Cheers,

John.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] yelloguy:
Can you install them one by one? Copy CM10, flash it, then copy Gapps and flash that? To be honest with you I did not have your problem when I flashed mine.

1. Image the card with CWM img

2. Boot Nook HD with it

3. After you boot into CWM connect the Nook HD to you computer and push the two zips for CM10 and Gapps using adb

4. Flash the images one by one

5. Profit

That is what worked for me. I am on step 5 now. Thanks to the OP.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
If you run CM10 on SD you have no access to your stock B&N reader/library at all. CM10 is a totally separate operating system from stock. You can install the Nook Reader app and get your books that way, but it is not reading them in stock.

And you are calling your third party launcher (zeam?) CWM. CWM (clockworkmod recovery) is the text based tool you used to flash the zips to your nook.

And you are copying the CM10 zip to the wrong place. You are trying to put the card in your PC and copy the zip to it. That won't work with windows. The CM10 zip needs to be put on partition 5 of the SD and windows cannot read that partition. You need to install Linux to do that. Either make a live CD of Linux or make a VM in windows. Or copy them with ADB as the last user suggested.

Actually, speed isn't the only factor. To cut to the chase, try a SanDisk class 4 or class 6 card. For running a rom, they are very reliable.

Ahh, good to know. I have this http://www.target.com/p/dane-elec-4.../A-13659859#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=micro sd

Mainly because I had a gift card. It runs CWM fine, works great as extra storage and CM10 boots but it's very very laggy. I'll pick up one of the cards you recommend and see if that helps.

Once I write CM10 to another SD card is it possible to use the rest of it as extra storage? The image is only 200mb or something like that.

No, none of that wipes /system. Ordinarily the only thing you need to do is wipe data/factory reset. The automatically does cache and dalvik cache. But in your case, to get rid of those old bad gapps, go to mounts and storage and wipe system.
