Re: [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus

It's possible that when it reboots to stock it is resetting via the 8 failed boots, wiping all your Hybrid settings too. When you said you had to re-do country and name, was that in stock or CM10?

I'm not sure that is what is happening though, since Hybrid should not complete boot if that happened. Somehow your Hybrid /data is getting corrupted. Which version of CM are you running? And when you reflash, are you wiping data/factory resetting? With your problems, you should be.

Have just uninstalled updates to Google Play Store and reinstalled factory version (via app info screen) and Google Play Store is working again. Has there been an update in the last couple of days that has screwed things up..?

Stock is fine - it was CM10 that needed me to re-enter settings details.

I haven't wiped data or factory reset as yet.

Thank you leapinlar! It works so god damn amazing! I love your work and efforts! Seriously, I do! :D

Even after flashing rev2 of the SDSwap, the permissions were still not set correctly. I'm sure this is just a one off problem with my tablet, as I had experimented before hand. I reset the Nook, and it's working perfectly. Cannot, and will not ask for anything else. Love it leapinlar. :D

Trouble installing ROM

Hi everyone,

I tried following the hybrid sd install guide and am having some issues.

I have a nook hd+ running stock 2.0.2. I just got the device today and have only turned on the device and signed into my b&n account and have not tried anything else like rooting, sideloading apps etc.

I burned the hybrid sd image to my sd card

I downloaded cm10.10-29130309-unofficial-hummingbird.zip and corresponding gapps and put those on the root folder of the internal memory

I booted the nook hd+ with the sd card and it goes into CWM recovery 6.0.2.3 for HD+ SD hybrid

when i try to install from sd card and choose zip from internal sdcard and select the cm10 zip file it fails

the error i get is Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == 'hummingbird" || getprop(ro.build.product") == "hummingbird"

E:Error in /emmc/cm-10.1-20130309-unofficial-hummingbird.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks.

Haven't had a recurrence of the non-appearing lock screen since un-updating Google Play - however I am still getting a blank screen at least once a day (ie not rebooted to Nook or Hybrid - simply hung on a blank screen and have to power down and power back on) always after a period of sleep.

In actual use the machine seems very stable - with only the very occasional crash.

By "wiping data/factory resetting" do you mean via the settings option - or more than that..?

Also what do you think is the most stable CM10 file to be using - I did revert to 08/01 but it didn't seem to make any different.

Thanks for all of your hard work and help.

Re: [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus

By 'wipe data/factory reset' I mean booting to CWM recovery and selecting that option on the first screen. It will wipe /data, /cache, and dalvik cache and all of your user data and installed apps will be removed. So that clears out any settings problems that could be causing your issues. But it also means you have to re-register with Google and reinstall all your apps. But starting fresh sometimes helps.

I have found the 1/08 version the most stable, with no reboots at all. But I liked the feel of the 1/20 version.

Re: [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus

You need to be using the Hybrid CWM that is on the SD. That will make it so it wipes only the data associated with the Hybrid setup and that is enough to clear things out for you. It will not effect your data for stock or your media files on SD.

Hi guys, I've been beating my head against the wall with the Nook HD+ for about a week now and finally my frustration is leading me to ask for hel

I've got a 16gb sandisk class 10 sd card. Here's the steps I've been doing:

1. Burn the image (NookHDplus-Hybrid-SD-rev0-(02.17.13).img) to the sdcard

2. Copy the following files to the internal Nook storage.(cm-10-20130220-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip, NookHDplus-Hybrid-SD-CM-ROM-Converter-rev1-(02.17.13).zip, NookHDplus-Hybrid-SD-fix-2-20-CM10-rev1-(02.20.13).zip, and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip)

3. Boot the Nook, go into CWM and install with the ovation image, the the next three files above.

4. Boot into CM10 and work away.

At some point as little as the next hour or as long as the next morning, things are crashing. I can't open anything or it just freezes up. I force a shutdown by holding the power button and cannot get back into CM10. It'll either sit at the spinning screen forever or boot up and not work or boot up and have been halfway reset. Regardless I'm usually back to redoing everything and it works for a little while.

Any thoughts? I wanted stability so I thought CM10 was the better way to go but should I just move on to CM10.1? Is there something I'm missing doing?

I appreciate the help!

Re: [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus

It is probably that class 10 card. Since it installed and worked for a while, we know you did things right. But a poor card can make it mess up, even with the Hybrid. Going to CM10.1 won't help. Get a SanDisk class 4. Staples has them on sale this week, I just bought a few. $14.99 for a 16Gb and $27.99 for a 32Gb.

EDIT: They just extended the sale through March 23.

Been almost a week now without a crash - sort of.

Wi-Fi is definately the thing.

Since switching Wi-Fi back on all the time CM10 has crashed just once when it went to sleep outside of Wi-Fi range (it was in the car). Still had to do the full Location and Name settings thing when it re-booted.

Only other re-boot was when un-installing an app that screwed up the Notification Tray clock (it was 17:45 on Saturday for a very long time). the app didn't want to uninstall so had to go through Norton Utilities to get rid of it. Hopefully time will be OK from now on.

Thanks for this. OK to flash rev2 Converter zip on top of existing hybird builds? I'm on CM10 2/20 with 1/20 kernel. Are you staying with full 2/20 build? I ask because you've preferred 1/08 previously.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus

You can flash rev2 over your existing setup even if you already flashed rev1 and it works fine. Or you can flash the 2/20 ROM again to get the 2/20 kernel back and flash rev2. That is what I did.

And I have been testing that version and twice now it has rebooted to stock overnight. If it were a kernel panic causing it, then it would have booted to CM10 since I had the 2/20 kernel. And I had already switched to a SanDisk Class4 SD thinking it might be the SD causing a kernel panic. So there is something else causing these reboots on my system. Whatever it is, when it reboots, it does not recognize the SD as it is booting, because there is no ext_sdcard available after going to stock. That is why it is going to stock, it is not recognizing the bootloader on the SD.

I am going to revert to a pure 1/20 ROM to see if that helps.

And you did this on the hybrid? You must have or rev1 would not have worked. The only thing I can think of is a bad download. Try redownloading and reflashing. You should be able to do it without wiping or reflashing anything else, even over the top of rev1.

Thanks. Flashed rev2 Converter over my current build, which I'll keep for the moment given your reboot-to-stock issues. I've not been having this issue except when I've tried to open some files in the /sys and /d directories. Don't know why that happens and it's not an issue since I'm not usually perusing there. I'd be happy to compare app lists if you want to PM me. I'm sure you've thought of this, but are any apps on your SD card and have you tried moving them "inside?"

BTW, the class 4 card I'm now using is virtually bullet-proof vis-a-vis class 10.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus

I did not mention this before, but once you have flashed the rev2, I'm not sure what would happen if you started using rev1 again, but it may be ok. But you probably should reflash the whole SD if you do, since the new bootloader would still be there. Thinking on it, it would only be a problem if you switched to CM10.1 or vice versa. But there should be no reason to go back, the change to the bootloader was minor and should create no issues. (Edit: oh, you meant keep the build, not keep the bootloader.)

And I had not thought of checking to see if I had any apps moved to SD. I did, but three were games I never use. The fourth however was a news reader that I use a lot and could have been the issue. But I don't think it runs as a service so it should not have been active. But I just now moved them to internal anyway. (Edit: And I am also uninstalling a few apps that I don't use and normally never had installed in the past, like 1mobile.com.)

But I had another boot to stock last night with the pure 1/20 ROM. Reverted again just now to 1/8. It is probably an app in my case causing the reboots. But I don't think I have ever had a reboot with 1/8. If it happens again, I may try CM10.1 again.

Edit2: After adjusting those apps, I decided to try the pure 2/20 again. I'm pretty sure it is an app causing my problem. Will report back later.

I am a little confused as to what you mean by 'pure' 1/20 & 2/20..?

For ROMS I see:

01/07 version with a different kernel, otherwise same as 12/31

01/08 version with a recompiled B&N kernel, otherwise same as 12/31

01/19 version with a yet another different kernel, updated CM10 base and default dpi/screen size changes

02/12 Some CM10 changes from upstream and updated wifi drivers from B&N 2.0.6 code drop (hoping that it will fix the annoying coming out of suspend crash - nope, it did not.)

02/20 Don't reboot into emmc stock on crash, it does us no good. Revert Z-axis in accelerometer for hopefully better responsiveness.

Are yours from a different source..?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] leapinlar:
Re: [HDplus] Hybrid SD for CM10/10.1 on the HDplus

No, I am talking about how I had a "fix" zip in the OP that would put an older kernel on the 2/20 ROM so that it could easily reboot to stock if we wanted it to. So by pure, I meant the ROM as posted by verygreen with no fix mods by me. Since I added the rev2 of the converter zip with the revised bootloader files, that fix zip is no longer necessary.

And BTW, my 2/20 that I put back on yesterday booted to stock overnight again so removing those apps did not help. And I was wrong, after the spontaneous rebooting to stock with the pure 2/20, stock can still see the SD. So I really don't understand the mechanism that is letting it boot to stock. The 2/20 kernel is supposed to prevent that.

Anyway, reverting to 1/8 again.

You can take the fixed rotation file from 2/20 and install it on 1/8. It works great.

The file is at /system/lib/hw/sensors.ovation.so. Just copy it from the 2/20 installation and put it in the 1/8 installation, replacing the one that is there. Set the permissions to match the permissions on the original file.

I recommend you boot to CWM recovery and go to the advanced menu and wipe dalvik-cache. Then reboot and if that does not fix it, go back to CWM and "wipe data/factory reset" and boot again. Sounds like you have some file corruption issues.

I think I may have found what was causing my reboot to stock issue. I think one of my apps does not like the revised rotation file that verygreen put in the 2/20 ROM. And that was getting translated to all my other versions of the ROM because I was moving that rotation file to each version as I reverted to older ROMs. I now have been running 2/20 modded with the old unfixed rotation file for two days and have had no reboots. I don't know which app is causing the problem, but it seems ok with the old rotation file. I will keep testing to verify that this is the issue.

Update - 3/24 - still no reboot. I think that was it.

I still have two major issues:

WI-FI has to be left on (or often crashes after sleep) - but has to be turned off if I take the device out of WI-Fi range (or does the same thing).

Google Updates cause the machine to crash - most often accompanied by a Google Play Store has stopped working.I have set all updates to manual - but I guess that Google are doing their own thing in the background. The only cure to this appears to be to uninstall all updates and reset Googler Play Store to factory settings. Does anyone else have this problem..?

A minor issue is that last night the machine started doing something it used to do with the N2A card (and which others reported with the N2A card) which was to register screen taps in completely the wrong place and open up a different app than I had intended (and which are half a screen away on the home page). A reboot cured this.

The annoying thing is that everything will work fine for days on end and then something happens in the background that causes a complete melt-down of the machine and having to re-set all settings, reregister e-mail addresses etc

I may have to bite the bullet and try the new beta build of N2A..!

I'm starting to get too many random reboots using rev2 converter with CM10 2/20 and 1/20 kernel build (on SanDisk 16gb class 4) which I presume has the "newer" rotation.

Wouldn't it be nice if this was the fix to the reboots to encourage verygreen? We've been down this road before with great expectations. This time I want to see a month without them before passing judgment. Alas, there were reboots even with the old rotation configuration, yes?
