[Nook HD, HD+ General] Nelviticus:
The lag is as you described - frequent (though not constant) long pauses on opening apps, responding to key presses, bringing up the notification bar - in fact doing anything in general. It was fine until about a month ago. Things like video playback work normally once I've managed to launch the app and select a file.

I've reinstalled CM twice in the last few days and both times I've had crashes during setup - first time it was 'welcome to CM' that crashed, second time it was something to do with BlueTooth. I've also had instant reboots, but only at times when apps have been signing in - first time it was when setting up DropBox, second time was when signing into Google during setup. I've also seen downloads from the Play store pause for long periods, even for apps that are just a few kb. I don't get this behaviour on my other Android devices but frequently get it on the Nook so it's not a network problem. So the reboots at times of data exchange, Bluetooth-related crash and stalling downloads made me think it could be radio-related. If this is correct, then as Android does a lot of data comms in the background that could be behind the lag at other times too.

But it's only a theory and I don't want to derail this installation thread. The device is clearly faulty in some way, radio-related or not, so I've requested a refund/repair/replacement.

If you got it from B&N they will overnight you a new one. You will be required to give a credit card in case you don't return the old one but won't get charged if you do. My store even gave me an empty box to ship the old one back.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
You'd need to revert to the older version of CWM.

I apologize if this has been answered 1000 times already.

Ages ago I successfully installed Cm 10.1 on my HD+ and have not upgraded since. When I try to install any of the updates, I get an error that I have no local recovery installed. I am guessing I only had Cwm on my SD and it was never installed to my emmc. I there any way for me to get cwm on the emmc now without using an SD card? I am on travel and have no microsd cards with me.

Thanks

From 10.1.3 to 10.2.1 question

When updating from 10.1.3 stable to 10.2.1. stable, is the wipe data/factory reset step required or recommended?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, not really. But be careful if updating to CM10.2 via the update menu in settings. You need to update gapps too.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You can try it without wiping. Usually it works ok, but if you have problems, go back and wipe. And don't forget to update gapps too.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Khord:
Received a used Nook HD today and right away installed CM 10.2.1. Are there any known issues of it not charging with CM? I can't be sure, but it might just be the usb cord, because I think I only saw a green light when it was stock also. I am heading to pick up a new charging kit tomorrow to test it out, but just wanted to check here in case.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I have put 10.2.1 on an HD+ and there are no issues charging it. Nor are there issues charging my HD with 10.1.3.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I tried installing 10.2.1 from CWM recovery (on my HD running 10.1.3) but when I selected the .zip file from the menu, it just sat there and did nothing. I rebooted into recovery and selected wipe data/factory reset. After the data wipe was complete, I got 4 error messages like this:

E: can't mount / cache/recovery/log

E: can't open / cache/recovery/log

E: can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log

E: can't open / cache/recovery/last_log

I went ahead and tried to install the cm 10.2.1 zip. I got some error messages (E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install and E:failed to open last_install: Invalid argument) but it did come back and say "install from sdcard complete" so next I installed the gapps 4.3.0 and again it said "install from sdcard complete". Went back to the main menu (got a bunch of similar error messages) and selected reboot after removing the SD card. It didn't reboot until I held the power button down. Now it is stuck on the cyanoboot screen.

So I've screwed it up, what's my next move?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Those error messages are normal after wiping data/factory reset. After all you wiped /cache as part of the factory reset. Those two /cache files will not exist unless you reboot and they get created again by CWM as it exits properly.

Are you sure the zip files are good. It is suspicious that the CM zip did nothing the first time. How did you download it?

Try flashing plain stock from my HD/HD+ CWM thread to get things cleared out.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I got all the zip files (CM 10.1.3 and 10.2.1 and gapps for each) from the links at the beginning of this thread. I'll try flashing stock and start over. Should I wipe data/factory reset again before I flash the stock ROM? What about wiping the cache? I don't have to reflash CWM, right?

Btw, I tried restoring my backup and it kept telling me the folder was empty but when I look at it in Windows, it shows all the files.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I don't think you need to factory reset again, but it might not hurt. And as I said earlier, a factory reset already wipes cache. And flashing stock will restore everything to stock including putting stock recovery back. So to install CM again you will need a bootable CWM SD again.

When you look at what folder with Windows? On the external SD or your internal SD? The issue of CWM not seeing the backup on the internal SD has to do with the difference between how CWM and CM see your internal sdcard. CWM looks in /data/media/clockworkmod and CM looks in /data/media/0/clockworkmod.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I had the backup on my external SD card. I can't remember if I copied it there or that's where the backup operation put it. The path was \Nook stock ROM backup\clockworkmod\backup\2014-02-18.18.39.11
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You copied it there. The clockworkmod needs to be at the root (remove the nook stock rom backup folder). That is why CWM cannot find it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I did a data wipe/factory reset again then tried to install NookHD-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock.zip and got the following error messages after it said installing update...

Random offset: 0x32e

Boot files...

Boot files...

assert failed: package_extract_file("u-boot.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2")

E:Error in /sdcard/NookHD-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Kinda wish I'd left well enough alone now. :crying:

I should also mention I'm having a hard time starting the boot process. Usually takes 2 or 3 times before I see the Nook screen.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Oh, that is not a good error. That means something is wrong with your partition 2. And that is why you are having problems with booting. But it might be intermittent. Try flashing the stock several times.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
Ok, I did this. Booted into CWM, selected restore, then the backup file. Here's what I got:

Checking MD5 sums...

Erasing boot before restore...

Restoring boot image...

Restoring system...

Can't mount /system!

I had unmounted the SD card before removing it to move the backup folder to root, then I remounted it. On the Mounts and Storage menu the first 5 items (/bootdata, /system, etc.) show - mount /bootdata, - mount /system, etc. I tried selecting them and got error messages e,g,m "Error mounting /bootdata!"
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It looks like your partitions have somehow got corrupted. Sounds like time for a warranty exchange. Try to get stock recovery on it first.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
Help me understand what happened. It was working fine under CM 10.1.3 and it went bad during my attempt to install 10.2.1. Was it just a fluke that the partition got corrupted during the update process or did I do something wrong? Is this a hardware issue or a software issue? Do I have any assurance that if I get another one, the same thing won't happen?

FWIW, I have successfully installed 10.1.3 on both this HD and and HD+ and also installed 10.2.1 on an HD+. This was the first time I attempted to move from one version to the next.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I don't think you did anything wrong. I think it is a hardware issue. I can't explain what happened. It is just some devices get messed up. It might not happen with another device, but it might. But several users have had this happen. I had an HD that would get flacky when I tried to format cache. Fortunately B&N stands behind their product as long as they cannot detect that you have had CM on it. My new one works great.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
So you think it would have crapped out eventually even if I hadn't messed with it? I'll keep telling myself that! ;)

I bought it off Ebay as a CPO unit. Supposedly it has a warranty and I did register it. The problem I have now is I can't restore the stock ROM (have tried 4 or 5 times) and it boots into the Cyanoboot screen and hangs there unless the bootable CWM sdcard is installed. Any ideas on how to get rid of CM remnants? I will see anything if I attach it to a PC?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
What is the backup you are trying to restore? Of plain stock or after you put CM on it?

In any case I made a zip for you to try. Check your PM
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I have tried flashing the stock ROM 2.2.0 zip (several times) and also tried restoring the backup after my initial install of 10.1.3. I did not try to restore the backup of the stock ROM that I made before installing 10.1.3.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That last zip I made for you was to get rid of the cyanoboot logo so you could return it to B&N.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
After giving up hope on resurrecting my Nook HD yesterday, today I tried booting into Nook recovery and it worked. I was able to do a factory reset and my Nook is back to "normal" i.e., the Nook software. Now the decision is do I re-install CM 10.1.3 which was working fine or do I install 10.2.1 which messed up the Nook yesterday?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
CM10.1.3. Why tempt fate.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I think you're right!

Bootfiles .rar file

I can't find the bootfiles .rar file that was mentioned at the beginning of this thread with the five files inside. I only managed to find a zip file on the CyanogenMod Wiki that has four files instead... Am I supposed to use that zip file's contents instead of the old .rar file way of doing things...?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The bootfile rar files can be found in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Install them per item 1a (the new procedure) in that thread.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] deckard0:
First time modding my Nook. So Win32 Disk Imager formats my 32gb SD card to around 3.65gb. All zips are copied over and then boot to CWM Recovery. Go to do the backup and get "There was a problem backing up your data." Then it shows out of space on SD card.

Do I need to factory reset the Nook first or delete some files on the Nook? I don't understand why the backup can't use all the space on the SD card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I can't give you the technical explanation but my 8GB cards formatted with the boot image also show about 3.65GB free space. That's all the Win32 programs leaves, regardless of card size.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The image file is 4GB so the card ends up being 4GB no matter what the original size of the card. That is why I recommend not using a large SD to begin with. The rest of the space is not available and wasted. And if you left the zip files there there is not a tremendous amount of space left of the 4GB for backups. Delete the old zip files to get more room.

The solution is to use my new procedure to make the SD instead of the 4GB image and win32diskimager. You just prepare the original SD and copy some boot files and the size stays the same. See item 1a in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature for instructions.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
Why are there different gapps versions for 10.1 and 10.2? When you get an update from the Play Store, it doesn't know or ask what Android version you are running? If one updated from 10.1 to 10.2, could one just update the Google apps from the Play Store?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Because they are different versions of Android. CM10.1 is 4.2 Android and CM10.2 is 4.3 and Google made different versions of gapps to match. And no, you cannot get Play Store to update itself and the other apps. (BTW, CM11 is 4.4).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
So the Play Store will not automatically update my 10.1.3 gapps as Google releases updates? Something in CM prevents that?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It may update the 4.2 versions to newer versions that are still compatible with 4.2, but not to 4.3 versions. It is kind of chicken and egg situation. 4.3 versions only run properly on 4.3 Android and vice versa.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
So the Play Store app must read the Android version off the device to determine if a particular app is compatible or not, right?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Play Store reads many properties (including Android version) on your device to see if a particular app is deemed "compatible". That is what many users complain about, that many apps that run fine on these devices are deemed "incompatible" by Play Store and therefore do not show as available for download and install. You can still get them somewhere else and install them, but Play Store will not do it for you.

That error is telling me you are using the wrong version of CWM for the version of CM you are trying to install. Which versions are you using of CWM and CM?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] islander2013:
so without trawling through all the pages of great detailed info on here... could someone tell me or point me in the direction re the below?

i have cm10.1 installed and would like to install/upgrade to cm10.2. Which is the best way to so this (i.e. fresh install or upgrade) and how do i do this? thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The best way to upgrade is to download both the CM10.2 and proper gapps zips from the links in the OP and boot to CWM and flash them. Usually it is ok to upgrade over the top of CM10.1 without wiping anything except dalvik cache.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] manojm:
As per leapinlar guide for a fresh install of CM10.2

Copy

1. cwm-recovery-ovation-3.zip,

2. stable cm-10.2 ovation.zip, from here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ovation

3. gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

onto boot SD card. Be sure to copy the correct gapps file for CM10.2.

After this, .

Power up Nook. Nook should boot from card with 'Cyanoboot' logo on-screen.

. Once the CWM text menu appears, use volume buttons to move cursor bar, Nook 'n' button to select, and power button to go back.

. Select 'wipe data/factory reset'. Follow prompt to finish action. Go back to main menu.

. Select 'install zip from sdcard' > 'choose zip from sdcard'. Select and install CWM, CM10.1 or CM10.2, and Google Apps in that order. Go back to main menu.

. Remove card from slot. Insert card into a reader in your PC. Copy the 'clockworkmod' folder from the card to someplace onto your PC. Rename it to "Nook Stock ROM Backup".

. Select 'reboot system now'. Nook will then boot into CM.

"error while making a backup image of /data"

Hi,

Thanks so much for posting these instructions. Unfortunately after following the precise instructions I've consistently received the above error message while trying to run the intial backup process.

I spent quite a while trying to do things differently but that hasn't helped. I used a different sized MicroSD card, I resized the partition to expand the card to full size, but neither have helped. I even bought the recommended class 4 Sandisk 16gb card.

Might the problem be that I'm using my laptop's inbuilt SD adapter to burn to microSD, rather than a USB SD adapter?

I'd be really grateful for some advice.

Many thanks

Jonathan not Joanthan lol
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Since I use the XDA app I do not see individual subject lines for individual posts so I don't know what error message you are getting.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] joanthan75:
Thanks for replying, the error message is "error while making a backup image of /data" which I got while doing the initial backup at the beginning of the process.

I thought it might be because of running out of space, because the boot image makes both my 16gb and 8gb microSD cards into about 4gb. So I used partition manager programs on my PC to resize the sd card into their full capacity, but what happens then is the Nook simply doesn't boot into Cyanogenmod at all, it either doesn't boot at all or just into Nook mode.

Any advice would be welcome, because on the standard Nook software, the HD+ is a lag-monster, seeming to run with a minute amount of ram at any time, and Adobe reader is constantly crashing (lately every few minutes when I try to run a 30mb 500page PDF of a historical academic text I'm trying to read and highlight).

Thanks

Jonathan
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD using the new procedure in item 1a. It will use the entire 8GB or 16GB of your SD.

Initial backup of Nook HD+ fails

I'm following the instructions here to put CM 11 on my Nook HD+ but run into a problem when trying to backup the stock ROM.

I choose backup to SD card but the files are ending up on the Nook's internal SD card.

I made the bootable SD card on a Sandisk class 4 - 8 GB micro sd card and it boots fine (after a few tries), put the zips on it for flashing but can't get past the backup stage.

Do I need to change the names of the ext_card and internal in order to have it back up to the removable card?

edit:

I just had a thought, have I d/l'd the wrong image?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You should not be using this thread for installing CM11. I have referenced a thread in the OP for doing that. The CWM is different and puts things in different places.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] xavieronassis:

I just realized I'd posted to the wrong thread. I've got three tabs open with different threads.

Can I use bootable sd card for CM 11 update?

I used this guide to get CM 10.1 on my new (to me at least) HD+, and it worked flawlessly. I'm currently thinking about upgrading to CM11, and while I know I need to use the CM 11 specific files (and the CM 11 guide) I wanted to know if I could use the bootable sd card made using this guide for the upgrade. The CM 11 guide seems to use a different bootable CWM recovery image and I don't know if that means I need to buy a separate micro sd card for this particular install.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Korgy:
You can back up your sd card to your computer and then format it to use it to install CM 11.

factory reset does not erase data?

Hi, I followed the instructions in this post and successfully installed CM10.2.1 on my Nook HD+.

However, I found the newly installed system is not "clean", I mean data are not erased. For example, the "sdcard" folder is intact with all my application data saved, and the "/data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser2.db" has all my chrome bookmarks saved and automatically detected and imported by Opera.

IS this normal?! It would be too bad if I thought the machine is clean and send it to someone. How can I totally wipe out the old data at this stage? I want to make a baseline backup. Thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Korgy:
In cwm recovery there is an option to format data. That will erase what you want.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
A factory reset as instructed in this tutorial will wipe /data. But it does not wipe /data/media where the emulated sdcard is stored. That is why your sdcard folder would still be there. But it should have wiped /data/data. Are you sure you performed that step? If you want your device 'clean' with all data removed you must go to mounts and storage in CWM and format 'data and datamedia'.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] javagirlgo:
Thanks! I checked again, and found that maybe it's because I set up sync of my google account, so once the new system is installed, data were imported immediately to /data/data/com.android.browser from my google account, not because the factory reset didn't wipe /data folder. Thank you again for the tips to erase it later, but I guess clear data of all apps in settings will do the same?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It will not erase your media files. You must either do the format or manually erase them with a file manager.

To install CM11 you need the newer version of CWM from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49192422&postcount=1 and the version of Gapp package for 4.4.2 (e.g., from http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps-full).
