You have me lost on these questions.

You said you were running CM10.2. That comes already rooted. What are you meaning?

Going back to CM10.1, use a memory card for what? You mean to make a bootable CWM SD? Then buy a small one and use that. You really should keep it on hand for later use.

Going back to stock. What do you mean scrap the memory card?

Bigger problem, put the nightly upgrade on just now, now in a boot loop, just shows nook and then cyanocobalamin and then reboots, any ideas?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
What nightly upgrade? How did you do it? It depends on what you did to give you an answer.

Boot to CWM and go to advanced and wipe dalvik-cache and reboot to see if that helps.

I just went into settings menu and checked for update, said there was a new one so downloaded and installed, now won't boot

To get to Cwm menu I guess I need the memory card and boot off that?

[Nook HD, HD+ General] artesea:
It's only available on a selected number of mobiles, plus the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Tab 7. No larger tablet has access.

Just wondering is there a guide to unroot the nook hd+? so get back to the software that was shipped with the system?

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and look at item 6 for stock ROMs to flash to get back to plain, unrooted stock.

How do I reverse the process, reinstalling stock rom and un rooting, I need to return my device.

I still have the backup I made using this tutorial, how can I use this to restore my nook hd to stock
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You have two choices.

First is to just restore that backup you made with recovery (CWM or TWRP, whichever you used originally to do the backup). The problem with that method is it does not restore the stock recovery if you replaced it with CWM or TWRP. But I have a zip in my HD/HD+ CWM thread that will restore it for you. See item 5.

The second method is to flash a whole new plain stock ROM from that same thread I mentioned above. That replaces the stock recovery as it installs the ROM. See item 6. But if you use this method, you must do the additional step of a factory reset with recovery (CWM or TWRP).

[Nook HD, HD+ General] rnaodm:
Thanks for your help there's so much info in your thread it was a bit overwhelming. So just flash NookHD-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock.zip

So factory reset/wipe data with recovery before installing the stock rom?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Depending whether you use CWM or TWRP (both are recoveries), you need to do a wipe (each recovery uses its own terminology) to clear the data from the device.

Not the rooted version. The plain stock version. And I suggest you use the 2.1.0 version since a few users complained about the 2.1.1 version giving them errors.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Try doing it again. But do the additional step of going to mounts and storage and format /system before you flash the 2.1.0 zip.

How does the 10.1 RC2 play with the Kindle app? Has that bug been ironed out? I'm still using the 8/11 nightly, and it's pretty stable, so no big deal if there's still an issue, but in general, the latter releases run the smoothest - and I'd like to flash a newer ROM if possible.

That being said, no Kindle is a deal breaker. Any heads up would be welcome.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It still works for me on RC2, but I am running Kindle 3.8.2.4 and others have said the latest version of Kindle (Sept 4 or newer) has problems with RC2. So if you do go to RC2, make sure your Kindle is older than the Sept 4 version.

I must be dumber than a dummy because I can;t figure this out.

Which files do I download??? The links to the file go to other posts and those posts have multiple files listed.

the instructions say to use the 4GB image file. I never see anything that is 4GB, the largest file I see is 900 MB - emmc-cwm-early2.1.img

all other files named boot.img produce an inaccessible sd card (tried 2 different cards).

emmc-cwm-early2.1.img allowed me to boot into the boot loader but when I tried to backup my stock Nook HD+ image, it said there was not enough space....looking at the card, it broke it into 1 partition 858 mb and 1 unallocated space for 6 GB. I used win32diskimager.

so some help with links to the specific files I need would be appreciated. once I have that, I think I will be ok.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The early2.1 having only 858 MB of free space is why e.mote recommended getting my 4GB version to use. So that you would have room for a full backup.

You are looking for the 4GB version on the wrong thread. It is on my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. E.mote also linked it in the OP. It is not named .img, but .zip. It extracts to a .img.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] blackfox003:
Thanks for the reply and I did see your thread you pointed me to, but I'm still confused as to which files I need. There are 13 Nook HD Plus files there. do I need them all?

actually, if there is an easy way to add flash to the stock nook HD+, i think I would be ok just doing that instead of a full root. I've never used an android device before so don't know the major benefits (just know that some people said it's faster and has more functionality).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It is not faster with root. And it is not more functional. It just means it can run apps that require root access.

My file you need is the one that says hdplus, cwm, and 4GB and is a zip. Just ignore the rest.

You need that to flash anything, but you don't need root for flashplayer. But you need to install my enable unknown sources zip in order to sideload flashplayer to stock.

Edit: a lot of people confuse rooting with installing a new operation system like CM. Rooting is just adding some file access rights to an existing operating system. Installing CM is replacing stock with a whole new operating system (which just happens to be already rooted.) If you were talking about CM being faster and more functional than stock, that is generally true.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] blackfox003:
What do you mean I don't need any other files? I just need that file from the list to create the bootable SD card? I still need the other files listed in the dummy instructions to do the root, don't I??
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That is right, it only makes the CWM SD. Follow the rest of the guide for getting CM, etc.

See my edit above too, about root vs. CM.

Leapinlar, again thanks for your help. I was totally confused until you helped me out. I didn't root yet but did some other stuff and it seemed pretty easy now that I got everything squared away.

-I backed up my stock B&N image

-I actually got flash working! and it wasn't very difficult.

Rushless' post in this thread got me started

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41165076

I installed the NookHD-HDplus-stock-enable-Unknown-Sources-rev0-(09.08.13) and NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev3-(09.10.13)

mine didn't hang, came right up.

To side load, I I borrowed from this site: http://www.andromint.com/install-flash-player-jelly-bean-android-device/

Basically I used the links there to download flash player for android and put it on an sd card

I then went into the file manager and just clicked on the apk file from there and it installed.

Tested it out on several sites and they all ran with no issue so far.

oh, you also need a flash capable browser like Dolphin.

Cannot install nook app and some other issues

I installed CWM(CWM-6028 for eMMC), and CM 10.1 RC2, and restored the apps with Titaninum and most of them work fine.

Since I'm not using the nook image anymore, so I need to install nook app from app store, but it shows as incompatible apps in Google play store, not in Amazon app store either. I still have a few books and magazines from B&N. Please help.

Also, the brightness adjustment is one-more level down in CM10.1 RC2 than in nook image, pull-down menu->brightness-> adjust bar, and when I moved from indoor and outdoor, a little tricky to hit the brightness button. If there is a shortcut to adjust the brightness, it would be very helpful.

Otherwise, I like the CM image, more apps can be used. Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] tuffluck:
I installed CM 10.1.3 RC2 earlier today and everything worked great for a few hours. I had rebooted several times, installed several items from Google Play, but then later I rebooted and when I got back into the OS the Play kept saying "Server Error." I tried to erase the cache, but it did not work. I rebooted and that did not work either. I'm certain I installed the right files when I installed CM according to this thread. Everything else has worked great so far.

Any suggestions on what's going on or what I can do to fix the problem? I really am a dummy to, so if you say "the fix is to reflash the xxx file," you'll need to explain to me what flashing means exactly. Thanks for any help.

Well, you have to realize that CM10.1 is different. The settings storage is not telling it straight and is confusing to new users. Don't go by that. What you need to do is use a file manager and look at the ext_sdcard folder and see what it sees. Sdcard is your internal media and ext_sdcard is the external SD.

You can, but it takes a few more steps. You have to install CWM to internal memory per verygreen's instructions and you must enable advanced reboot under developer options. To see developer options go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times. Then you can activate the advanced boot menu.

After I posted that response verygreen fixed CWM so that cmupdater works properly. You can now let cmupdater finish and automatically install the update. Get cwm-recovery-ovation-3.zip at verygreen's CM10.1 thread and flash it.

To factory reset, boot to CWM recovery and select factory reset. I suggest you also reinstall with CM10.1.3. You can get that stable version from the CM site like you did the earlier version you installed.

You are correct sir. I realize I will have to do a first time install of my apps after the first move to 10.1... yes?

Would it even be possible to reregister this as a "B&N device" after moving to 10.1?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, you need to wipe the stock /data before you boot to CM. Then you need to reinstall the apps in CM10.1.

And no, it is best to keep stock registered in case you need warranty. That is what sets your warranty date. So DON'T erase and deregister before installing CM10.1. And if you install the Android Nook Reader app in CM10.1, it is ok to register that too, leaving your stock registered. But in order to install the Nook reader app on CM10.1, you will need to side load it or get it from the 1mobile.com store. But it only allows access to purchased reading material, not purchased apps.
