You have your terms a little off. CWM (clockworkmod) is recovery. And flashing means installing a zip with recovery like you did the ROM zip.

Your problem is you were supposed to install the ROM zip AND the gapps zip while you were still in recovery before you rebooted. Now you have an issue of getting back to recovery to install the gapps zip. Make sure you have downloaded the gapps zip to internal memory before you do the next steps.

Now you have some work to do to get to recovery again.

Boot to CM10.1 and go to settings, about tablet. Tap on the build number several times until the developer options is activated.

In settings, go to the newly activated developer options and put a check in 'Advanced reboot'.

Then hold the power button until the power off menu shows. Select reboot. Then another menu pops up that allows you to choose recovery.

Install (flash) the gapps zip with recovery the same way you did the ROM zip originally. You do not need to wipe cache or dalvik.

RC-2

Hello,

I received a notification about being able to download CM 10.1.3.RC2 which I inadvertently did. It then said that I could install it, which I also agreed to. I'm sure that it works for some installations, but I am using the SD card hybrid version, and the installation trashed the Nook system I have internally. I found out the hard way--by trying to boot the Nook OS and encountered the cyanogen mod logo!!! It didn't boot at all, so after removing the sd card, I managed to re-install the standard b&n nook os with the '8 failed boots' method.

This trashed /data so the cyanogen os wouldn't boot. I tried re-flashing from clockwork mod but it didn't work. I finally bought another sd card, did a new installation from scratch, and everything was OK. I then put in the old card and whatever is supposed to be on the emmc was now there and it worked.

I was wondering if I could have done this from clockwork mod. I have seen something about erasing /data but I always assumed it would remove my apps so I have stayed away from it.

I have learned about this the hard way but just thought I should share my experience with CM-10.1.3-RC2.I assume it is for installation on emmc.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Thanks for the heads up. Yes, it is for emmc only. And you could have used CWM to restore a backup of the hybrid, but only after first making a new SD so that it creates the correct partition on internal memory.

I got a Nook HD just last week and have a 32GB Class 10 UHS-1 on the way. But I had an older 16GB card laying around and decided to give the dual-boot SDHC method a shot. I'm a long-time Linux user (~15 years) so I used the dd method to write the image. Everything went flawlessly, including installation of gapps and updates. Nook stock system and CM both boot and run as they should.

What I am less comfortable with is fdisk. I usually use cfdisk because I like the curses interface. I looked at the fdisk man page to get an explanation of your commands but there are none in it. Regardless, I don't have a problem with trying it blindly when the new card arrives because I can always go back and try again or re-install everything from scratch like I did on the older card.

The most confusing part is "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx" at the end. This only specifies the card and none of the three partitions that were created during the initial image write, /dev/sdx1 (vfat boot), /dev/sdx2 (blank linux partition) and /dev/sdx3 (vfat storage). Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your invaluable contributions.

Edit: The more I think it over, it seems that you are saying to make a new file system (format in Windows terms) on the grown partition, which would be /dev/sdx3. Is that correct? Would that delete any apps that I had installed on CM?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
I though the man page had that, though it's clear in when using fdisk.

the first d then 4, deleted partition 4

Then n is for new partition, e for extended partition, 4 (of the 4 primary partition slots)

Then new, logical partition, #5 (created in the extended partition)

Then t to change the type for partition 5, in this case to "c" which is FAT32X (uses LBA addressing instead of CHS addressing)

Finally w writes the new partition table.

Until then nothing on the disk has changed.

It will erase whatever is on the partition. I'm not sure what is on that partition though.

sdx3 isn't being changed though. sdx4 is deleted and sdx5 is being created.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] henslayer:
OK, all that makes sense, so thanks for the explanation. But the image created by the hummingbird hybrid image from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2097731 only makes three partitions, all primary. I think what I will try when I get the new card is to run the "dd" steps and then see if I can grow the storage partition and file system with "parted". I think it handles vfat. If stuff is going to get wiped I might as well start from scratch.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
I haven't messed with the "hybrid" setup yet, so I don't know what the partition layout is.

I just know what the fdisk instructions do. After a decade of using it it sticks, even after 5+ years away.

Never really used parted other then RHL/Fedora installs. I always used fdisk in other situations.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, that will work. In the hybrid, the last partition is partition 3 and is primary and fat32. It can easily be expanded with gparted. All your data should stay intact.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] henslayer:
Thanks for the confirmation. The new card should be here in a day or two and I'll give it a shot.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] henslayer:
Just an update. The new 32GB card arrived, I ran the dd steps and grew the data partition with gparted. Everything seemed to work fine and I could mount and read the new partitions under Linux. So I popped it into the Nook HD and no Cyanogen boot loader appeared, it went straight to the Nook stock loader. I made sure it was inserted properly, double checked that everything was copied correctly and confirmed with cfdisk that partition 1 was bootable, etc. Nothing.

After all that I did the installation from scratch, except I skipped the gapps install and copied everything from the old data partition onto the new card. Voila! Up and running with a lot more space and it's pretty snappy.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
I'm trying to find info that explains the differences in CM10.1/SGT7build from this thread which I have running on an SD card and the EMMC installs, be it 10.1 or 10.2

1) what exactly does SGT7 add?

2) is there a 10.1/SGT7 build that I can install on EMMC?

3) is there a 10.2/SGT7 build that I can install on SD or EMMC?

4) Finally, If I switch to the EMMC install, how do I backup/transfer everything from the SD card (apps, settings, etc) so I'm not starting all over?

Links to website/other threads appreciated.

I do have a query though...

I'm not sure specifically who to ask here but I've been directed this way...

I would LOVE to see a version of Philz Touch Advanced CWM recovery available for our Nook devices, but alas compiling from github is beyond me.

Here's Phil's developer info post on how to do it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39433612#post39433612

Hopefully someone on here will be able to make this work as It would make flashing rom's/mods SO much easier!! While it works fine, booting from an SD card every time you want to flash something is just ball ache lol

Anyway, I hope this is something that is within the realms of possibility!

Thanks in advance!!

I have a Nook HD running CM 10.1 on an SDcard (still prefer that method).

10.1-20130929-UNOFFICIAL-humminbird

I wanted to move to a larger card (have 8MB want to move to 32MB).

I went to back up apps and don't have superuser on this tablet now.

How did I loose superuser? How do I get it back?

It's my daughter's tablet, and I may have disabled it on purpose back in Sep, but I don't remember doing so, nor how to get it back.

I've been in Afghanistan and haven't got a recent back up of the card to restore.

(I looked in Settings, and no entry for superuser like I have on my tablet)

Also, do you recall how to adjust the partition sizes when doing the install? Since she doesn't really use the sdcard partition, I'd like to have a lot of space for apps instead.

I may move her to CM11 if I can get all here apps and their data backed up and restored in CM11. Still reading that thread to see what he curent status is.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I have no idea what happened to your superuser.

And there is no need to change partition sizes since /data and /sdcard share the same space.

You should be able to use the CWM on the SD to backup your SD install and then restore it to the new card once the installer partitions it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
I'm going to try flashing the 30 Dec build and see if it restores superuser.

The 8GB card only has 847MB for "internal" storage. The rest (5.62GB) is allocated as sdcard.

She's running out of internal space.

Currently have 99MB free on internal, and 2.85GB free on sdcard.

Not real clear on how CWM backups work. (can you point me to a good primer?)

Do they compress? Will it put the backup files on eMMC?

I don't think they will fit on the card, and even if they do, how do I get the backup files form the old card to the new card?

I've not had any luck with adb and Windows 8. Would they be in a location readable via USB?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The space issue is true of the old SD scheme, but the new scheme that both bokbokan and verygreen use on CM10.2 is just like the emmc install, /data and /sdcard share the same free space. Sdcard is emulated out of /data.

CWM backups are compressed when they are saved. And you can choose where you want them stored. I would choose internal so it is there when you want to restore to the new SD.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
But that's what I currently have installed.

So you're saying do a CWM backup, then install the latest 10.1 on the new card, then restore the backup?

Or do I need to move to 10.2 or 11 for the new layout?

10.1 has been great. I'd hate to move to something that is less stable or has compatibility issues.

I was wanting to keep what worked, just give her more room for apps (hence the post in the 10.1 thread).

If I need to change something else please point me to the right thread for the correct files.

For example, can I use the CM11 SD card install image and then flash 10.1 using that to get the larger, shared /data

(Probably a subject for another thread, but if I wanted to move to CM11, would the CWM backup be usable to restore the apps/data?)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Based on the date of your CM10.1 hummingbird ROM you are running bokbokan's version of his SD install. If you want to stay with an SD install for hummingbird you must stick with bokbokan. He has CM10.1, CM10.2 and CM11 all available for SD and hummingbird. But they are all incompatible with each other and must be on their own burned SD. CM10.1 uses the old scheme with the separate /data and /sdcard. CM10.2 uses the new emulated /sdcard that shares /data. CM11 uses that same scheme but requires a different (newer) version of CWM.

So if you want to go to a newer larger SD you must start over burning. And you say you want to stay with CM10.1. So I recommend backing up your existing install with CWM to internal memory. Then burn bokbokan's CM10.1 image and boot with it once without installing the ROM. That creates the partition structure. I am not positive but I think bokbokan set it up to have a larger /data on larger SDs. If not, repartition per my instructions below. If the partition structure is what you want just restore your backup to the new SD and you will be good to go.

If you need to repartition get partitioning software free on the web (Mini-Tool or EaseUs) and use that to change the SD before restoring the backup. Delete partition 4 and 5 and expand partition 3. Then recreate partition 4 as extended and partition 5 as fat 32 logical. Then restore your backup with CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Correct. I don't know of any other SDcard installs for CM10.1.

So there's no easy way to migrate 10.1 to the new scheme.

With the merge, I don't think the 8GB card would have been an issue for her.

As of last night I setup CM11 on the new card, and restored apps+data, and system data using TB.

(I think I may need to reinstall gapps to be sure I have all the correct versions, time will tell).

It appears to have worked, though I ran into another issue (see the CM11 thread)

I still have the original card as well as full images from the cards so I can go back to various stages.

I can always manually change the partitions (thanks for that info) and restore the CM10.1 backup (again, thanks for the CWM info)

Not sure what I want to do with my own tablet though. Looks like 10.1 is done, and I can't use my BT keyboard with it.

So if I have to move to get BT working, do I go to CM10.2 or jump to CM11.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You are right, the only CM10.1 for the hummingbird is by bokbokan and it uses the old scheme. Verygreen has an SD version of CM10.1 that uses the new scheme but it is for ovation only.

And I can think of no easy way to run bokbokan's SD CM10.1 for hummingbird on the new scheme. You would need to move up to CM10.2/CM11.

I don't know why you stick with the SD install. I run CM10.1.3 stable on emmc and love it on both my HD+ and HD.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
I like being able to make an image of the card and have a complete backup.

I like that if my daughter breaks her tablet, I can put her card (or one from backup) in anbother device and it's all there.

We had tablets with custom ROMs on internal storage before and when one died it was too much work to restore and too much was lost in the process. I never even sent the one with lots of bad pixels back under warranty because of the hassle.

I can play around with different OS tweaks and such, and always get back to the original state with just a simple rewrite of the SD card.

The SD installs were a big factor in my going with the Nook v/s other tablets.

And if my wife (the odd ball in the family) has trouble with the stock setup, I can jump to that easily to test things, then factory restore my tablet and return to my SD card.

If I ever get time I hope to set up a cross compiler and try OS devel work (like bokbokan and verygreen do). Again, don't have to worry about as much going wrong when it's all on the SD card.

I purchased a new microSD card today to see if it was the SD card causing my problem. The new card is a SanDisk microSDHC ultra class10. Still no luck in dual booting my nook HD.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Sometimes it is difficult to burn a card so it will boot in a Nook. You can read it, etc, but it won't boot. Go to my Nook Color tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A9, bootable SDs. It was written for the Nook Color, but is applicable to the HD/HD+ too.

Booting the stock environment from the CM10 bootloader

bokbokan (and verygreen too if you see this):

I just tried the following tests. Starting with the Nook-HD CWM install image (the one used for installing CM10), I replaced the kernel file with B&N's stock kernel (the one in the boot partition), setting the load and entry addresses to the B&N values. That worked just fine -- it booted up and displayed the usual recovery screen.

Then I replaced the ramdisk.cwm file with a slightly modified version of the stock initramfs image (again from the boot partition). I added an extra file to the root directory, in order to know for certain if the new image got loaded. This did not work; the Nook just hung up in the Universal Bootloader screen. I tried twice, once with the load address set to the B&N value and once with it set to 0. Neither one worked.

Any ideas on what went wrong and how it can be fixed?

Perhaps replacing the B&N init program with the program in CM10? I'm not sure how safe that would be, though.

cyanogen mod, can't get GAPPS

Hello,

I used the oneclick root from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613

to root the Nook HD I got as a gift over Christmas. This was working fine, I was able to use GAPPS after flashing it using CWM.

Then I tried to get CyanogenMod 10. I used the SD card installer image from the other thread, burned the image using Win32 diskimager and am now booting into CyanogenMod 10 without difficulty. However, I haven't been able to get GAPPS onto this OS. I tried putting the GAPPS zip file 20121011 (which is the correct one for CM10 I believe) onto the SD card on my (Windows) laptop. However, when I put the SD card back into the Nook HD and boot into CWM the zip isn't showing up there. Is this something to do with using Windows? If so, why am I able to burn the files to boot CM10 from Windows?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Do not put the card in the Windows PC. It cannot read your CM10 sdcard partition with it in the PC. You either have to use your USB cable connected to the PC to copy it or download the gapps zip directly with the Nook to your sdcard. Then boot to CWM with the power menu and install it.

Likely it did got loaded, but decided to mount /system from some wrong place or the like.

Try adb to see if it connects and complains that /system/bin/sh does not exist or similar, also try setting secure setting in the prop to 0 from current one to ensure it's not doing any checks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] tdnookhd:
Thanks for the quick reply. One problem. The Nook boots, I set it to MTP because USB mass storage mode doesn't work. But I don't know where to copy the zips to. It downloads the drives for the Nook HD in Windows but then there are no files or folders on it in Windows Explorer.

EDIT: nevermind, mounting the SD card in storage options brings up a menu with the following choices:

android.secure

Alarms

Android

DCIM

LOST.DIR

cm-10-hummingbird.zip

Do I just place it here? Thanks for your patience with me, I'm new to this and the oneclick roots are great but they kind of leave you not knowing exactly what is going on behind the scenes when reading through threads with other peoples troubleshooting.

Double Edit: Got it working. But is there any way to install this to internal memory so its faster? I'm using a Kingston Class 4 MicroSDHC card (16 GB) and its not as fast as using the Stock system by any stretch of imagination. I imagine this is do to the system having to constantly read/write to the SD card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You could put the zips on internal media storage, but no need, you are only going to flash those files once. And the zips do install to internal memory once flashed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Delta^1_1:
Do you know exactly what information is available to /init just after boot-up? Obviously there's the kernel's command line, the contents of the /bootdata files, and the ramdisk contents. As far as I'm aware, all of those should be the same in my test as in the stock environment (except for the extra file added to the ramdisk root). Anything else?

I'll check in more detail, and I'll also try the things you recommended. Thanks.

First of all, I would like to thank you bokbokan for all your hardword and leapinlar for all the support he has given me. Because of your work, I enjoy my nook now even more. I'm currently running cm10 on sdcard all is well but eventually I plan to upgrade it to cm10.1. Question is when I do, is there an easy way to upgrade my existing cm10 to cm10.1 without reformatting the sdcard? Can I overwrite cm10.1 and rom on my existing cm10.1 sd card? If so, what are the steps I must take? Btw, I use a mac osx. Thanks in advance.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You can boot to his CWM and go to mounts and storage. Format /system, / data and /cache. NOTHING ELSE! Then you can flash 10.1 and the matching gapps.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] evorc:
What does this do? (Format /system, / data and /cache) does it format the card or just erase cache? After this I can just flash cm-10.1-20130107-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip over my cm10 rom? What happens to the existing gapps once the new one is flashed? Does it just updates the existing version. Do apps installed remains intact once I flash cm10.1 + gapps?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bokbokan:
You can try just updating without formatting /data. In cwm, update first with cm-10.1-20130109-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip and then immediately followed by gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip for CM10.1, reboot and enjoy CM10.1. This will retain your old apps and other settings but you may/may not encounter some issues/problems. If this happen, go back to cwm and wipe data/factory setting and reboot. Of course this will erase all installed apps and settings.

The best bet is to follow leapinlar instruction.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It formats the /system on SD, the /data on SD, and /cache on internal which it shares with the ROM on internal.

Flashing 10.1 over 10.0 could work and your apps would carry over, but as part of flashing 10.1, the old gapps are saved and you are best to start fresh since who knows if the gapps get tangled up. That is why I recommended formatting.

This looks really cool. I have a few questions though. I am thinking about getting a Nook HD but I just wanted to confirm a few things. This works on both the 8gb and 16gb 7" Nook HD correct? Also is it a better idea to have a fast SD card like a 32gb Sandisk Ultra? Finally, as it currently stands, how smooth is it? Would someone be willing to make a video of a nook running the latest build? If anyone could answer any of these questions, that would be great!
