I have no update option

I want to update but I do not have this (Configure CM updates: About tablet > CyanogenMod updates. Set 'Check for updates' and 'Update types' as desired) option possible in about tablet, although I have a logint to CM and have developer options and cmw recovery configured. I installed cm version 11-20141122 unofficial bok-hummingbird on my nook hd last week and it seems to be running pretty well overall. But I am unable to sign on the Kobo Android reader app. I have an account but I can't get to the sign on because it doesn't detect the internet connection, although wireless/internet is working fine with other apps. I also have a problem with in ap purchases for another app, where the error message points to an ssl issue. I though a cm upgrade might help for that issue, and I wanted to update in general whenever possible. Thanks

Funny

Seems funny to me, by the time CM11 is final no one will even own a Nook HD anymore.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Not sure CM11 will ever be final. Just developers will move on to other stuff, like CM12.

I have no plans to replace the 4 Nook HDs I currently have in the house. They do what we need.

Same with my 7 yr old laptop. It does what I need. A few upgrades and repairs along the way, but still does all I've asked of it.

And my desktops are even older. One is a Slot-A Athlon (linux devel box)

Unable to install

Followed yur instructions with a new SD card but it would not boot.

Found my old SD card with CWM 6.0.2.6 and copied the files there. Booted fine. CWM 6046 installed. Unfortunately installing CM11 gave "E: Error in <file> (Status 7)" Did booting with older version of CWM cause this?

So decided to try CM10. Copied those files and all installed successfully. Even booted up. However, the keyboard does not come up and there is an error about AOSP not working. Something like that.

In short unable to get CM working. Now restoring my stock backup. Any suggestions?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, CM11 needs to be flashed with v6045 or newer.

And the keyboard issue is caused by using the wrong version of gapps for the CM version. Use the version noted in the first post for CM10.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] htcnonfan:
Duh! The files for gapps differed in just 1 digit! Working now. Thanks.

Also, realizing that I have CWM 6046 on the nook I booted into recovery with the nook itself and then installed CM11 from the SD card! That worked too.

Still curious why I could not boot from my new SD card. Looking at my files I saw that I created my old boot SD with an image file. Is there an image file for CWM 6046? I am using Linux.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, but the issue probably had to do with how the files and partition were copied and prepared. It is important to make sure the partition is made active (boot flag set in Linux speak) and that MLO is the first file copied.

One stubborn HD+ won't boot from SD

My wife's HD+ was acting up, so I followed this plan for CM 11 without any problems (Thanks!)

Mine refuses to boot off the microSD. It won't boot from the one that hers booted from OR from that same one reformatted, re-set to active, MLO first then the other files copied, OR from two others I've tried.

I did a factory reset in case that was the problem. It still wants to boot from internal memory. When I go into storage settings, it recognizes the SD card is installed.

What else can I try?

In my case, it was post 46 that fixed it: "with the tablet turned off, press "n" button, keep pressing it and then press the "on" button for three seconds or until you see the nook booting." I'm not sure if that should work, but it did. It's running CM 11 now. Thanks again.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] HiddenG:
If I were to install CM11 on a Nook HD+, would I still be affected by the TRIM issue we had with Android 4.3? Or do we need to flash anything before hand to prevent the TRIM issue, or is there now one universal ROM for the Nook HD+?

Apologies for the questions and thank you. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I don't know the answer to that, but I know several users have ended up with bricked emmcs after using CM11. I don't use it.

easy way to ttransfer file to internal storage after root

So I've rooted my wifes old nook tablet(bntv250), and it works great, if a bit slow(cm10-20121108-unofficial-acclaim) and I want to transfer some e-books to the internal storage. I can navigate to the location I want them in on the device from the device, but Windows only sees a .99gb internal storage that is empty. I can send some item using the send to kindle email, but want to know how to move items from an external sd card to the internal memory. The file manager is not intuitive in this respect(not like the one on my Samsung phone, which is not rooted). I've tried searching and can't find the info I need. The files I want to move are to big to use send to kindle email. Other than this one issue, I am really liking this thing now that it is rooted. Wish I had done it 2 years ago... TIA

I am on a mac

I am on a mac. 2 days ago, I tried doing this and got an installation failed. I got my downloads from a different forum. It was a .img and not a .rar. I wrote it to my sd card I formatted with disk utility. I then used terminal to write it. I dont think that it can do .rars. And on top of all of this my nook is now stuck in a boot loop. It only boots when my nook has the sd card in it and it boots to cyanoboot. Please help. I am scared I broke my nook.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Just called B and N and they fixed the boot loop remotely. But I still want CM11 on it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Just follow the guide in post 7. It works on a Mac too. Just set the boot flag using parted.

Nook HD CM 10.1 only boots to CWM

Hi,

I have a Nook HD that has worked happily for months with 10.1 I turned it on today and it will only boot to CWM.

what steps do I need to follow to get back to normal?

Do you need any more information to diagnose this problem?

Many thanks for any advice.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I recommend going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flashing a plain stock zip from item 6 there. I suggest the 2.2.0 version as it is thoroughly tested and 2.2.1 version is new and untested. That should take you back to pure stock and fix the booting issue so you can start over with CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread where you got the image file to burn, I have a new procedure there where you do not have to burn the SD to make it boot. See item 1a.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] dawgpoundfan:
I only have this one 32 gig card to use, am I reading correctly that your procedure will render it useless as a media card afterwards?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, not useless. But unless you rename one of the files (like MLO to MLO.bak) after you use it to flash your files, it will try to boot to CWM every time it boots. But renaming, it becomes an ordinary SD again. Then if you want to use it as CWM again, just rename back.

Must have had a bad couple downloads 3rd time is a charm, in reading the alternate method in leapinlar's post I realized the time it took to write the image was too fast on my attempts, this one is taking a while to write so I hope I can get past this sticking point.

I do want to say thank you sincerely for everyone who chimed in so far.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] stephencwl:
Wow. I follow this thread to successfully nuke my HD+ to pure CM 10.1. Everything works as expected.

The only hurdle I have is the long time to write the 4 GB IMG boot image to my 8GB sd card. It took me several hours for it to complete. May be it's because I ran it under windows 7 with parallel desktop on a mac.

VICTORY. Happy nook HD+ user.

Anyone successfully setup multi user mode on this?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] purplesaltyqueso:
I'd keep putting the formatted card into the nook and it would say it wasn't formatted. (This was after CM was installed on the nook - I wanted to reuse the card for extra storage). It would then offer to format the card ... the only difference I noticed was that it added an empty Lost Files folder.

Are you before-or-after the CM install stage?

[MENTION=349198]leapinlar[/MENTION]

Now that verygreen has updated TWRP to work, I'm thinking of converting the guide to use that. The snag is that the boot image will need to use TWRP as well--user needs to back up stock before flashing recovery--as else there'll be two different backup types which will confuse people. Do you have the time to whip up a couple of 4GB TWRP boot images, one for HD and one for HD+?

Else, I'll just leave the guide as it is. CWM works well enough for the purpose, and TWRP can always be added later by those who want its superior feature-set.

PS: Looks like TWRP on HD is still experimental. I'll wait until it gets posted to the dev thread's OP.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] thegracious:
I have a problem that the cwm in internal SD memory couldn't install the new update in my SD card, it always say that error and abort the installation. the code for error is status 7, some symlink missing.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, I can do it, but it will have to wait until I get back from vacation next week. Maybe TWRP on HD will be better by then.

Hi leapinlar,

Many thanks for your advice, all worked perfectly the Nook HD is back to running stock.

Thanks again! :good:

[Nook HD, HD+ General] dbrons:
leapinlar, Just installed CM11 using this guide and it is working great! thanks for posting this :) Today I'm getting some updated apps and in general getting my hd+ ready for vacation time, I had bought the hd+ back when they were first out and had used your CWM stock root. That was good but was thinking of some update yesterday and took out my old micro sd card. with cwm and my back-up of stock on it. well, I couldn't get the card to boot.

I ran to Frys and bought a new card , put all the CM11 files on it and it booted the second try. Easy install and I really like this CM11 very much system is faster too.

Just wondering. Could I copy my old card onto a new one to see if that would boot and give me my old stock back-up? Not really a big deal because I have a back-up of the CWM rooted stock on this new card and I doubt I'll need to go back . Just curious if it would work :)

And thanks again for a great guide I found installing CM11 much easier than setting up adb, and rooting with CWM was .

Dave
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It might. But if you ever want to go back to unrooted stock, the easiest way is to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from item 6 there.

And rooting stock is much easier these days as ADB is not necessary.

I can't install CM 11...

--QUOTE--

. Select 'install zip' > 'choose zip from /external_sd'. Select and install internal CWM, CM11, and Google Apps in that order. Go back to main menu.

. Remove card from slot.

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

I did everything here... but at this cm11 step, when i install from the sd card, it says,"

E: Error in /sdcard/cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-hummingbird.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

"

I can't install it! Help me please

P.S. I have the latest CWM and CM files needed...

Also, does this have to do with the latest Barnes and Noble update? (why it isn't working, was Jan. 14)

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-HD/379003802
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
When you say latest CWM, what version is it? And be sure that zip is not corrupted. Download a fresh copy.

And no, that version of stock should not make a difference
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookBookLover:
For the "emmc" and "internal" CWM, I have 6046 (7-13-14), from the file name. And I have redownloaded and redone everything, using "snapshot" M12 for "hummingbird". Is this just a faulty sd card? The brand is Verbatim...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, not the SD if it boots. You do have a HD, right?

Any other text besides (status 7)? Like 'assert fails...'
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookBookLover:
No, that was all that the message said, those were all of the words... and I have a Nook HD, 8gb, with the latest software...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookBookLover:
And you also know what the crazy thing is? When I was following the steps in the guide, I backed up my nook stock rom, and then wiped it clean. But then I got my error and couldn't continue. So then I took my sd card and looed up my issue online. My nook was still on, but without the sd card, and with the CWM installed (couldn't install the hummingbird snapshot os itself). Then, my nook tried to reboot like 10 times, but then it somehow recovered, and booted into stock rom like it was brand new! (the welcome to your nook and register thing) Does this have anything to do with my issue? Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, that was the nook 8 failed boot self defense mechanism. It will restore itself after 8 failed boots. That also tells me you did not follow my procedure exactly. If you had successfully flashed the CWM zip first as I had instructed that 8 failed boot procedure would have failed because CWM would have replaced stock recovery. You must have also wiped /system as part of your wipe (which I did not instruct you to do). That is why it would no longer boot to stock when the CM zip failed to install. If you try again follow the directions EXACTLY.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookBookLover:
--QUOTE--

Back up the stock ROM: Select 'backup and restore' > 'backup to /external_sd'. CWM will back up the whole device onto the SD card. Once done, go back to main menu.

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

. Select 'install zip' > 'choose zip from /external_sd'. Select and install internal CWM, CM11, and Google Apps in that order. Go back to main menu.

--QUOTE--

I followed these exact instructions... wiped data, then installed CWM, but for some reason the CM11 just won't install... And thanks for your help!!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Well the CWM zip install must have failed too or the 8 failed boot procedure would not have restored it successfully. So something else is wrong for those zips to not install properly. And something caused the stock not to boot after the failed CM zip. You must have made an error somehow. Try again.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookBookLover:
Okay, now I can finally boot with CWM, but the hummingbird snapshot zip still will not work. I will try to using another download, like an m11 file or something instead of m12... And thanks for your help!:good:

And here is another issue: (in screenshot). Does this have to do wiht my issue maybe? Because this only pops up on the hummingbird zip, not the CWM zip..

Edit: now it says that the zip is bad (and can't open)? (only for M11, not M12 zip) I think that the sd card has messed it up or something, since it is well used... Maybe I should use a different one? And in CWM recovery, is there anything in mount and storage that would help?

One last thing: is it possible to extract the hummingbird zip, and then drag it to the file "NookHD-CWM.....for-internal-memory..."to install it that way, (2nd screenshot) since it won't install via CWM recovery? Will it work or do you think I will just have to try again all over with more new files and a different sd card? Thanks a lot for your help!!

Navigation PIE feature

Hi All will be installing cm11, i currently have cm10.1 with the navigation PIE and (so you get the whole screen for games/movies etc)

I cant remember where the PIE feature came from, is it an add on I need to install, who I do get it to work, ...or is part of the standard build for cm 10.X and cm11

Any advice welcome
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Looking at your screenshots the name of the SD is "boot". That makes me suspicious. How did you make that SD? Did you follow the directions in post 7? You formatted the SD with SDFormatter and copied the files from the rar archive? You cannot be using one you made for earlier versions of CM. That is why I asked what version CWM you were using earlier. Start over with that SD.

And no, you cannot extract the CM zip and do anything with it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It is part of the build, but since I don't run CM11, I don't know if it is implemented there. Someone else may know.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] kenryandub:

PS excellent thread the how to install instructions , FAQ etc, are excellent , and v easy to follow

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, I don't run CM11. Why don't you post the question in the CM11 thread in development.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookBookLover:
Okay, now I did everything, except with the CM 10.2.1 files... Now the screen says,

(Status 7)

Installation aborted. "

What do ya think this is for? Thanks again for all of your help!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Unless you made a new SD per the instructions in post one for that CM10.2, that error is expected from the CWM. As I have been trying to explain to you, the version of the CWM must match the version of CM. V6045 and above CWM for CM11 and CM12 and older than that for CM10 thru CM10.2. And don't just take the version number from the name of the files, take it from the displayed banner when running CWM.

Now, I would like an answer to my last post. How are you making the CWM SD?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] NookBookLover:
And sorry I didn't respond earlier.. I was trying to do everything from this video and use yours kind of as a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66OicrfdJAs

Never mind everything... I have got it all set up!! And thanks for being patient with a newbie like me.. in my notifications, it says that there is the kitkat update available. What would you reccomend? Would I have to put any new files on my Nook for this? I probably wouldn't do it for a while... Thanks again!!:good::D
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you have M12, I recommend not paying attention to the updates. They are nightlies, which a newbie does not want.

And that is how newbies get screwed up, trying to follow two guides at once. And that guide was for CM10.1 and you were trying CM11. Bad!

[Nook HD, HD+ General] zspeciman:
Great instructions leapinlar, thank you for a very detailed guide. I've installed cm11 m12 on one machine and it is working great so far. Two more to go

I have serveral questions that I'm not sure about:

I have 3 nook hd+ (2 16gb and 32gb), do I make a separate boot microsd card for each of them or can they share the same one?

For the baseline microsd, that sounds similar to creating a windows restore point. Does the microsd size for the baseline have to be as big as the internal storage space (ie 16gb or 32gb) or as big as the space used by the apps/videos etc on the internal memory? Can the content of the baseline be stored on my pc hard drive (to free up my microsd) and restored on my microsd when I need it for recovery?

Thank you for giving my machine a new life.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes you can reuse the SD on more than one device. The backup is made of the system ROM and the installed apps, but not the media like videos. It usually only takes a GB or two. And the backups can be stored on a PC. But each backup is named differently by date and time so if your SD has room all can stay there together. But I still recommend that you always keep the SD with the backups intact because you WILL need it later. That is why I recommended a relatively small SD (4-8 GB), so you are not wasting a large SD you want back.
