Alright, I followed your instructions and it boots into CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7

However when I try to "Choose zip from sdcard" it says "E: Can't mount /sdcard/"

>_<

EDIT: I got it to work! Id like to stress that you NEED to use SDFormatter to format the memory card. The process didnt work using regular formatting through windows.

Thank you VERY much Leapinlar!

Hi there guys.

I just wanted to know if there is a list of apps we can delete without getting a bootloop?

I just want to slim up my nook. For example deleting phone and contact apk's. But some missing apk is always causing a bootloop :confused:

Hey guys!

Im from Germany and I ordered the NOOK HD+ from the states!

I wanna say a big thanks for making this possible - NOOK HD+ with CM 10.1 I LOVE it.

Great deal for small price!!!

Maybe some can help me with a minor problem I have:

When i play around and work on my tablet it happens that the Wallpaper shrinks below the line on bottom + also on top it shrinks below the google now box and isnt all over the screen anymore - why does this happen and does anybody else have this problem?

So i.e. the wallappers gets cut off around 2cm on top and bottom ... any solution for this?

Keyboard

So I have an issue. Seems like everything is installed fine but the keyboard doesn't work so my tablet is pretty much useless. Any suggestions would be a very big help.

I've just completed the installation of CM10.1 to my Nook HD+. I followed the instructions in the initial post to the letter and it all worked flawlessly. I used a class4 8gb Sandisk microSDcard plugged into a Poundland usb multi-cardreader on windows7 32bit. The longest part was writing the 4gb .img file to the card. The setup booted from the sdcard first time.

I now have a superb 9inch tablet running free of the B&N shackles. Thank you to all those involved in making this happen.

+1 from me. An excellent guide. The effort e.mote and you guys put into this forum is really appreciated. I installed CM10.1 last week and decided to have a go with CM10.2 SNAPSHOT M1. Things seemed to be running smoother but unfortunately, it started doing frequent reboots e.g. Netflix, it rebooted 3 or 4 times per half hour programme. Decided to restore back to CM10.1 and all is well again. Think i'll wait for a future release before trying again.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] santinod15:
"installation aborted"

I imaged my 8gb class4 sandisk sd card with the raspberry pi sd card builder (I'm using mac). i did get an error message from raspberry pi sd card builder about shell script but the card was imaged to 3.97gb so i tried it.

then downloaded the appropriate files for my HD+.. right out of the 1st post in this thread. When i downloaded these, they came unzipped (maybe my computer does this on its own?) so i used the "compress file" button by right clicking on the files. they were then zipped.

transferred the files to the SD card and ejected.

the HD+ booted into CWM no problem, i backed up, did factory reset/wipe, then TRIED loading the zips. CWM first, started and then said "installation aborted". tried several times continued to give error message. tried CM and Gapps, all "installation aborted".

removed the SD card and rebooted the nook, it booted to stock os.

help please. thank you!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You should not unzip and rezip. I know you did not do it on purpose, but that is the problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] loconess:
Unzip boot image file; it'll uncompress to a 4GB image file.

exactly which boot file?

TIA
[Nook HD, HD+ General] FoxForceFive:
It's the one with 'bootable' & '4gb' in the file name.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] santinod15:
Spot on Leapinlar. Up and running no problems now! Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fungo45:
I finally got around to doing this, but am still having the same issue where if the tablet reboots, it gets hung on the CyanogenMod screen with the the logo in the middle of a moving circle.

Here's what I did since yor last post. I booted into CWN, did the factory reset. I did the reinstall to CM10.1.3 and updated CWM from verygreen's thread. The install process went fine. I then went into the settings to see if there were any updates, and downloaded the available release. Letting it auto-update rebooted the tablet, and got hung like I mentioned. So manually booted into CWM, cleared Dalvik cache, and this allowed me to get back into the main screen. I opened settings again, and saw that the update had downloaded, but was not installed. So went back to CWM and manually installed the update. The update installed successfully, but still can't reboot properly. It gets hung every time, and the only way I can use the tablet is if I boot to CWN and clear Dalvik.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
As far as booting properly without clearing dalvik cache, try going to setting and unchecking quick render in the trebuchet settings. Some say this helps.

And you said there was an available release after CM10.1.3. What was it?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fungo45:
The update was CM10.3.1-RC2

Assuming you meant wallpaper quick rendering, that was already unchecked.

issue with hd+

I am having issues with the HD+, trying to get this to work. I followed the guide(at least I think I did).

Backed up data, cleared user data, installed CWM-recovery-ovation-3 zip, then when I tried the CM-10.1.3 zip, I get "E: Can't open /sdcard/cm-10.1.3-ovation.zip(bad) Installation aborted.

This was an 8gb card that had been imaged to the 4gb file. I formatted again, and the same result. I then formatted, set the partition to active with mini-tool and just copied the 5 files over manually, starting with MLO file. The same issue happened.

I got a new 4gb card from the store, used my wife's laptop this time, started it all again, using the '5-file active partition' method, and still had the same issue.

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

You probably have a bad download of the CM zip. Redownload it.

CyanogenMod instructions

Hello all,

I truly want cyanogenmod(CM) on my nook hd+, but as a newbie, even all the instructions at the beginning of this post seem overwhelming.

How come on the CM website, under its instructions "how to install CM from recovery":

1. download the release of CM you want

2. Place the CyanogenMod rom .zip file on the root of the SD card using adb:

3. Boot to recovery mode on the device

and so on.....

Why does this seem so short and easy? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Ed
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Because that does not work on the HD/HD+. ADB is hard to set up and it has no built in CWM recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mg.degroot:
Great guide, helped me setup the nook. The only problem I ran into was that it wouldn't boot from the SD card at first. Waiting 20 minutes as advised worked for me in the end.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fungo45:
Looks like it's working now. The only change I made was that I went to the stock Trebuchet launcher, whereas I was using ADW Launcher EX before. Does CyanogenMod only play nice with the stock launcher?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] illyfilly:
So i just did all the steps in OP and once any ROM (CM10.1/Carbon) starts up, everything crashes.

At first I thought it was a problem with Carbon, but when I did a wipe it came back. Then I tried CM 10.1 and it still crashes.

The AOSP keyboard crashes, the Play Store doesn't want to connect, nothing wants to work. I can pair my BT keyboard and use that.

What's weird is that in CM, when I click reboot, it doesn't give me the option to reboot to recovery and then when I try to power it off, the device just reboots and doesn't power off.

Any help?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You need to be sure you have the correct version of gapps for the ROM you are running. Keyboard issues are a sure sign you are running the wrong version.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] cerbera84:
great build, thanks. I have found one issue, when I install torrent stream controller and acestream, the acestream engine reports an "importerror: no module called acestream". does anyone know the cause of this?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] illyfilly:
yeah just kept on doing a wipe and it works now.

now to see if i want to try my luck with 10.2
[Nook HD, HD+ General] shamonee:
+1 excellent guide, straight forward easy to follow

Many thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] cerbera84:
I found the solution - I flashed Cyanogenmod CM10.2 latest nightly ROM (4.3) and now the acestream engine runs great.

Virus in Stock backup?

Hi,

I also installed CM 10.1.3 without any problems. Prior to that I had only installed very few apps in the stock rom.

However, I stored the stock backup on my pc and my virus scanner "Avira Free Antivirus" reports a virus in the backup:

[Nook HD, HD+ General] chili81:
Worked great, thanks!

Just another word of thanks to leapinlar, verygreen, bokbokan, e.mote, and everyone else who works on making this stuff consumable by your average noob. Everything worked great for me on my Nook HD+.

Just a couple additional notes if anyone's reading this whole giant thread!

-On initial startup, I selected to let Google sync to my device - and it downloaded EVERY single app I have ever tried on any of my devices. I started over and unchecked that option the second time around.

-I didn't realize that wiping doesnt' wipe the data and datamedia partitions by default. So went back in CWM and formatted those to really start with a clean slate.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Just a clarification. Doing a factory reset does wipe /data, but it does it by 'erasing' everything in /data except /data/media, which is the emulated internal sdcard. That way your media files are preserved in a factory reset. When you select format 'data and datamedia' it actually 'formats' /data which wipes everything including /data/media.

Nook HD+ CM 10.1 boot issue

Hey guys, I hope you can help me here. I put CM 10.1 on my Nook HD+ and it all works great except when I try to reboot. No matter if I reboot or power off then on, the device gets stuck on the CM boot animation. The only way to get it to boot is to go into CWM and delete the cache. Anyone has any ideas on what the issue might be?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Vess69:
I have the same problem. Have to boot to CWM and wipe the cache so it can boot properly. Hope someone has a solution. I am thinking of wiping and putting CM 10.2, but hate to waste the time if there is an easy solution
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
A lot of other users were having this reboot hang and fixed it by going to settings and clearing the quick wallpaper render checkbox in trebuchet.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Vess69:
Yessss, that did it. leapinlar you rock.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Bonnie_Raitt:
Just starting to update my Nook HD+ 10.1 using these instructions. I'm having a couple problems but will tackle this one for now. When I choose reboot to CWM from the reboot option, the HD+ justs boots over and over showing Nook screen and then CM screen for a second. After watching this for 15 or 20 cycles, I pulled my 16 GB Sandisk card (while it was cycling) and it immediately boots to EMMC CWM. Is this a common issue? Do I have to discard 16 GB card and find another?

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

I hoped I could fix my second problem without bothering anyone here.

Again upgrading HD+ to CM10.1 following instructions on 1st page. The first time I followed the process all went ok until it tried to restore my account. At that point all the attempts to load apps resulted in Error 920. I Binged that message and found a suggestion to clear cache and data for the Google Play Store. I tried that and rebooted but got the same error.

So I started over and followed the process a second time. This time I told Goggle not to restore my apps. It seems to install the ones I pick OK. Is there a way to have Google restore the apps or is there a problem with the way that Google backed them up that prevents me doing that. It would save a bit of time
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
What do you have on the SD? Is it your CWM SD or a plain one? If it is a plain one, try reformatting it with SDFormatter.

And be careful about booting more than 8 times without success. That triggers the 8 failed boot procedure. It tries to boot to internal stock recovery and start the reset back to original stock. But you replaced the stock recovery with CWM so when it does finally boot there, it fails.

I don't know the answer on Google restoring your apps. I never do it. I choose to do it one at a time. But others do not report your problem when they do it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] benba86:
hey guys,

i followed the "Installing CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies" guide and everything worked fine. then i liked to update to 10.2. i just downloaded the snapshot file, uploaded it to my sd card and put it into the nook... yeah exactly i'm not a pro...

the system doenst work - and i always got "error status 7" or it can't mount the sd card.

how can i get it fixed?

i'm very thankful if somebody could help me...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
What is the version of recovery you are using?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] RussT1:
Followed the directions and it's working great, except for one thing. Thanks for putting all of this together in an easy to follow format. Now to the one issue.

I'm sure this has been posted before but I'm not seeing the fix for it. At least not for 10.2. I've seen it for 7.x. I can't install the Nook App as it says it's not compatible.

Here's what I have.

Nook HD+

cm-10.2-20131124-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip

gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm guessing there are other posts I'm overlooking.

Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You need to get it somewhere besides Play Store. Try the 1mobile.com store.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] RussT1:
Ah, thank you. Not sure why I didn't think of that. I had an issue with mobile1. It never did download. I found the apk on handster and installed it. All good now.

Thank you for your help.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] caaalvin:
Hi guys, just to make sure does the SD card I use to boot need to be blank? I already have some data on mine and don't really want to wipe it all off. Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] RussT1:
Yes. It's best. When you make the image on the card, the program will erase everything on the card. It's best to just get a dedicated one for this. That way you can continue to use it for backups and for flash updates as well as any restores that may need to be done.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] caaalvin:
Alright, thanks!

Trying to install zip from sdcard and it's telling me it cannot mount the sdcard. Do I need a different sdcard or did I do something wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Try putting the zip on internal memory and install from internal memory.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sidn3y:
Did that, but after reinserting the sd card it failed to boot the cyanogenmod loader. Nothing would read that sd card so I had to purchase a new one. It's not booting up CM but when it boots into the Nook OS it reads the sd card just fine.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Your first post it implied that it booted to the SD but could not read the zip from the SD. Was I wrong and it never booted to the SD? Please explain better what you have done.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sidn3y:
Yeah it booted into the SD the first time but it could not read the zip. Then after I moved the files to the Nooks internal memory, that SD card seemed to quit working all together. On any device. So I now have a new SD that is not booting the CM loader but after the Nook finishes booting up, I can read the SD card in the Storage Section in Settings. So it can read everything on the SD card but for some reason it seems like it's not initializing the CM bootup process after turning the device on.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You say you moved the files to internal memory. Which files did you move and how did you do it? Something you did messed up the SD so it won't boot now.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sidn3y:
I plugged up the Nook to my computer and transferred cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip, gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip and cm-10.1.3-ovation.zip to a folder on its internal memory. Didn't change anything on the SD card since it appeared to be working.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Well, sometimes SDs are very finicky to boot. Just because it did it once does not mean it will always boot.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. In the warning box at the top I have a link to a thread which discusses that. I also have a new procedure in item 1a for preparing the SD without having to use win32diskimager to burn the image to the SD. Try that, it sometimes works better.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] crowheadkbza:
Hi, first of all sorry for my english (i'm from Uruguay):o, and congratulations, it is an excellent guide.:laugh:

I followed it step by step, and all work perfect. :good:

I did it with a 8gb microsd and cm 10.1.3, i installed a lot of apps and everything work smooth and fine, even the battery is working in great shape.:D

The only matter (i believe is a microsd problem) is that i have a 32gb microsd (class 10 but cheap) and if i want to copy a lot of files (ex. mp3 or comics) i get a message error, so i must copy file by file and it is slow. :confused:

Thank you everybody

Saludos gente
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Guiyoforward:
leaplinar, from my recent experience and from reading the threads, my guess is that B&N introduced a hardware change so people would not use CM from SD cards (N2A, commercial options, etc.). I only managed to boot from SD after waiting 5/10 minutes - some kind of reintiailization might be going on. That makes installing CWM very frustrating and it would make booting from SD eevn more furstrating if rebooting, etc.

That's my best guess...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sidn3y:
Ended up doing what leap recommended in his thread under item 1a. Booted up the very first time and now running. Thanks!

How to restore back to stock

I want to return it back to stock. How do I do this? I have my original boot sd card. But the nook will not boot from the card now. Do I have to do something for it to boot from the card?

Am I really this slow?

I don't know if its my age or what, but rooting my Nook HD 7" seems to be harder than open heart surgery. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. I have a NOOK HD 7" and the posts I have found so far have a plethora of available files for download. Does anyone know of a more straight forward thread? Its a Christmas gift for my grandson and I am trying my best not to brick it. No I am not a hundred years old but I could use some help here.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Depends on what you mean by rooting. To me rooting means making root access available for stock. If you meant that, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and follow that.

If you meant putting CM on your device to replace stock (which some call rooting, but I don't), then this thread is the easier to follow. Just follow the directions for an HD.

brand new nook hd: while going from stock (after backing up) to cm 10.1.3, can i directly use the cm-10.1.3-hummingbird.zip from CM website? thanks.

edit - ok, looks like i can, since it actually links to CM site. it would be nice to fix it though. thanks.

edit 2 - worked like a charm. thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes. But be sure to add gapps if you want Play Store. And factory reset with CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] deepasadish:
btw, after wipe/factory reset and loading CM 10.1.3, does it still have any traces of B&N NOOK software left on it (even in some other partitions)? thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Unless you flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) it will still have stock B&N recovery on it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] deepasadish:
thanks for the quick reply.

yes, i followed the instructions in the OP and flashed CWM, CM 10.1.3 and gapps.

So, I guess my nook hd is clean now :).

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The only thing I can suggest is to take it back to stock and add root access to it from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Many like it that way.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] slayers_inc:
Nice guide.

Ordered this the other day. Can't wait to get it an put CyanogenMod on there :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
After you take it back to stock as I recommended above, you can use the same CWM SD to flash the universal root rev3 and the enable unknown sources zips.
