1. Feedback says that best card is Sandisk 16GB class 4. I have Kingston 16GB class 4 and its very good too. Seems that class 4 cards are best.

If you want use Hybrid install (Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus and Stock Dual Boot) then yes, you need two cards. But i think for starting is good run CM10 alone at SD. Later you can grow up.

2. You have available three choices:

- rooted os with availability install third party applications (for installing have good any class 4 sd card 4GB and bigger): HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods - via CWM flashable zips

- stock or rooted os and you go run Nook HD+ CM10 development (sdcard) Any 16GB class 4 sd card is good for it

- rooted os and you go use Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus and Stock Dual Boot, which runs little bit smoother than sd version

3 If you run CM10 at sd then you dont loose root, because your stock wont be updated still you turn your nook to stock. But yes, new update to stock can brake old root. but if i look back, any change was hacked again by us devs ;)

Hope you got finally your answers.

Sorry Tarthenal :D

Ha ha, no worries, two heads are better than one :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] seabrewed:
Thank you! I will stick with CM10 on SD for my first go at it. If the speed gets to me, I'll try the hybrid method. Really appreciate the response guys!

Thank you very much! I just ordered a 32 GB Sandisk class 4.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] seabrewed:
Ok, I am a bit stuck here. I have the 32 GB Sandisk Class 4 SD card. And the steps I have taken

1. Burned sdcard-cwm-early4.img.gz with Win32 Image Burner from the SD card on my laptop. Windows could only see a 118 MB partition, but nothing else.

2. I booted in a Linux Live CD and was able to see the other partitions on the SD card.

3. I copied over the cm-10-20130220-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip and GAPPS to the other partitions that were viewable on the live CD

4. Booted into CWM

5. Mounted /SDCARd

6. Went to install ZIP from /sdcard.

The message I received was the "no files were found".

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron
[Nook HD, HD+ General] blazingwolf:
You should be able to see the files that were installed by the .img. If not then the burn did not occur correctly.

Once you can see them place the ROM file in the same folder that you can see in Windows and rename it to the name of the file that is installed by the .img.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
By "other partitions that were viewable on the live CD", what did you mean? Was there a very large partition that was fat32 formatted? It should be named CM10SDCARD. Did you find that one?

[Nook HD, HD+ General] seabrewed:
Hi Leapinlar,

After burning the .img with Win32 IB, I could only see the 118 MB paritition as a drive letter. The remaining space was together in an unrecognized partition.

Here's what I can see from the respective OSes.

From Puppy Linux Live SD

mm0p1 vfat 117MB

mm0p2 vfat 770MB

mm0p3 ext4 2.0 GB

mm0p5 vfat 26.9 GB

From Windows

118 MB Fat32

Remaining space is in an unrecognized partition

What else should I try? Is it better to use linux to flash the SD card?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That is the way it is supposed to be in Windows. One drive. That is why you need to use the live CD.

The mm0p5 vfat 26.9 GB is the partition you want. Mount that with the file manager and copy those files to it.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] seabrewed:
I am sorry everyone, I have spent over ten hours on this and am no closer to getting the CM10 and GAPPS copied over to the SD card. No matter what I do, the first VFAT/FAT32 partition is 115-118 MB, which I believe is by design. The free space on this drive is 4 MB, so not enough room to move the .zip files over. As I understand there are three other partitions created, with the last paritiion being the remaining space in a VFAT/FAT32 parition. I can never access this last partition, so I can't copy over the ZIP files to load CM10 and GAPPS.

I have tried dozens of times burning with Win 32 Image Burner, and using dd from both Puppy Linux and an Ubunutu Live CD. I purchased a USB Micro SD HC reader because I read that the built-in SD card readers in laptops aren’t very well supported in Linux.

I have both a 32 and 16 GB Sandisk Class 4 card that I am using. Both cards have the same issue. In Windows, I made sure to run the SDFormatter tool before burning. I once attempted to to manually create the partitions in Mini Partition Tool and burn the image, but that partition information is overridden whenever applying the image to SD card.

In Windows I can “sometimes” see the remaining space on the 4th VFAT/FAT32 partition using the Mini Partition Tool. Windows is not able to read more than the first partition for removable media, so no luck in accessing the contents there.

Note that I was only able to see these additional partitions once in Puppy Linux and never on Ubuntu. Using gparted on the two Live CDs was not successful at distinguishing anything other than the first 118 MB partition. The remaining space in gparted for the SD card has a “Warning” icon saying that it can’t be accessed.

I am using a Dell Latitude 6320 to burn the SD card. I am so frustrated and really want to get this working. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I feel so foolish!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You will never see it in Windows no matter how many times you burn it. So stop trying.

You did see the partitions in Linux because you posted the output here. What you are failing to do is "mount" the partition so it becomes a drive letter in Linux. I do not know enough about Linux to tell you the specific commands to mount it, but I have done it somehow. If you look in gparted, it will tell you if the partition is mounted or not. If not, you must figure out how to mount it. If it is mounted, note the drive letter and look for that in your file manager. When you open the Linux file manager, do you see some drives in the upper left corner?

By the way, did you boot with your card in the nook once so those partitions get created? You have to. I know you did it earlier since you posted the Linux output. But every time you reburn it, you have to do it again as reburning destroys the partitions.

Edit: If you don't get it going soon, I recommend you abandon any more attempts at installing the standard SD method and go to my Hybrid approach. You do not have to do any of this ADB or Linux nonsense with my set up. Just copy the CM and gapps zips to internal memory and install with CWM from there.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] seabrewed:
Thanks Leapinlar, I don't remember putting the SD card in the Nook after burning and then returning it to the computer to over the CM and gapps. I didn't realize that was a requirement (was that in the instructions from verygreen?). I'll try that once more and if it doesn't work, I'm giving up on that and trying your Hybrid route! ;)

I'll let you know how it goes. I can't believe how limited the Nook store is and can't wait to get some more apps installed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
His instructions said to use ADB so you boot and connect the cable instead of remove and put back in the PC. Many people had trouble getting ADB to work so other users started to say to use Linux.

And you don't have to install CM10 to enjoy more apps. Just go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the gapps + extras zip and you can get all the apps you want on stock.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] seabrewed:
Holy crap, that was it! As soon as I booted the SD card once in the nook and then put it back into the PC for an Ubuntu live CD the large CM10SDCARD partition was available to copy over the zips. Thanks again! I feel like an idiot for missing that step.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] datas0ft:
By the way .... command for mounting partition or entire disk on linux is:

mount /diskname(or_partition_name)

but before is good to get info which disks you have with command:

fdisk -l

Dont worry, fdisk is under linux program, not command for disk erase. For disk erase with fdisk you must enter correct disk name and etc.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] seabrewed:
Thank you datas0ft. I understand that much at least.

Unfortunately, I neglected to put the burned SD card into the Nook (so it makes the partitions), rebooting the Nook, and then popping the SD card back into my Linux live CD. My issue was that even GParted couldn't recognize the partition (outside of the boot 118 MB partition).

All is well now.

Thanks for all the help everyone.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] datas0ft:
Yes i read that you got your problem resolved and what was your mistake.

My post was only for future information. Maybe someone needs this.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I got tired of being frustrated helping frustrated Windows users trying to make these cards work. I created an updated CWM image that can install the zips from the internal sdcard. See my new thread in General, here:

Not sure if this is the app in general(cause I've not seen posts about this) or me on Flinny's 10.1. When I go into G2 forum, then go into any sub forums, then a specific topic, when I hit back button to look @ another topic or to change forums, it exits me from the entire app. I looked at xda app settings and I don't see a setting related to exiting a topic or forum or to entirely exit app. Anyone experiencing this or know of a solution? I've reinstalled the app, and its been happening on multiple Flinny builds. It is only the XDA app doing this, no other apps. I've not tried different roms, I may, but thought id ask first.

If you still need a hand with this....

1. If s- on , htc dev unlocked:

In order to flash ruu- you must relock bootloader: fastboot oem lock

you must start flashing in bootloader

2. If the phone is stock make sure your pc is equipped with the necessary drivers..

3. If the phone stays in bootloader and cannot start the system

Then either you managed somehow to corrupt it ( the system)

Or there is something wrong with you nand (emmc)

4. The branded phones are not willing to be flashed with other than the operator's branded update

It has to do with the mismatch in CID

Something to choose from,

you know all factors but unfortunately we do not

Unless you tell some more, everybody here is doomed to guess:)

Initial

- You need a Swap enabled Kernel ( I am on CodefireX with KangBang V3.0 Kernel )

In Phone

- Go to your Settings -> Developer Settings -> USB Debugging (Tick)

In PC

- Open Command Prompt in administrator

- Head to folder where you have placed ADB

- Type adb shell

- now get super user permission by typing SU

- now type fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1 you will get results something like

I have an SDext1 partition so i have /dev/block/mmcblk1p3

[Desire HD General] vicedens2002:
Sorry. But how is this helpful for our desire HD?
[Desire HD General] sashank:
Because it prevents slowing down of phones with low free RAM when lots of apps are open. This slowdown can also be prevented by changing the low memory killer values. codefireX slows down when there's around 60 MB free. Swap partition functions just like in Linux.
[Desire HD General] uros0104:
Swap partition is bad for your SD card AFAIK. You don't really need it, DHD has plenty of RAM.
[Desire HD General] sashank:
Bad for SD card because flash memory wears out after a certain number of write cycles. No other reason. So it only depends on how often the swap partition is used.
[Desire HD General] Haeriz:
SD Card Life

Yes! I agree using swap partition reduces the SD card life.. but I haven't seen any any SD card died because of swap partition.
[Desire HD General] yumm91:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Not sure if you are doing the install correctly

Lets review...

You run a Titanium Backup backup [or other app based backup not talking nadroid here].

You restart to recovery

Wipe cache

Wipe Dalvick Cache

Go to Mounts and storage [CWM] and format /System AND /Data

You go back to main menu

You Flash the ROM

You Flash GApps Pack [there is a 2013.01.08 I have seen that is specifically for 4.2 and not 4.1 BTW]

You restart and let it boot and wait at least 5 min before touching the phone

You then download and install Titanium Backup Open it, grant root

Then you Restored ONLY User apps and data [be sure to NOT RESTORE ANY SYSTEM APPS OR DATA]

This should have you running fine if this is your process.

If you are using TWRP and used the advanced backup/Restore to restore only /data by unchecking the other stuff this WILL NOT WORK it will restore the original /data and anything new your new install placed in /data will be removed and prolly why there is a problem.

If this is the only type of backup you now hoave if you download titanium backup pro [like $6 USD] then it as an advanced option can read out things from a nandroid backup done by either TWRP or CWM and restore apps based on the data there and the only way you should restore from that back DO NOT use TWRP to restore /data.

Basically TWRP images the entire partition and just puts that back exactly as it found it before whereas runnin titanium installs the apps back WITHOUT affecting anything that is new and already present [unless its a user app that exists in the backup and was installed by the ROM then you may end up with an older version, but then if that does happen don't panic open market and go to my apps [open market hit menu key tap my apps] and it should list any and all updates based on what is currently installed and can then update the affected app maintaing your user data that was restored by the titanium restore process., but it should warn about newer and older apps I believe.

TWRP method is good, but only if using same exact ROM and you had an issue [you deleted something wrong and caused a problem or otherwise need the data back EXACTLY as it was before, and disregarding any changes since].
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mriddle:
