e.mote said he was going to update his guide here to incorporate the BOOTFILES method soon.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] timmyd463229:
Yeah that would be cool if there was a thread with the newest and best way to root because I know there are a few threads that have an old way and then have the new way undet it which I can understand it happens its just a little confusing
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
This guide is the best. It just needs a little updating.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] timmyd463229:
Ok so I should follow this guide just subsitute the bootfiles in?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes. And the cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip has been updated to -3.zip (same with hummingbird). Otherwise pretty good. Just do my paragraph 1a from my thread and the rest from this thread.

If I want to use twrp do I only need the bootfile for that and cm zip and gapps for the correct cm are them the only files I would need or am I missing something
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
if you want TWRP on internal memory, you need verygreen's twrp-recovery-ovation zip from his site too.

Ok so the twrp bootfile rar and verygreens twrp zip plus the cm zip and gapps zip

Sorry, I didn't have the patience to go through all 50+ pages of replies to see if this question was already answered...

When you backup the stock ROM as stated in the instructions, does it include the stock recovery partition?

If the answer is yes to the above question, when I install and run CWM from the eMMC and I want to restore of the entire stock ROM image (including the stock recovery partition), wouldn't writing back the original recovery partition interfere with CWM which is currently running off the recovery partition?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It does save it, but does not restore it on a restore. But even it it did, when the recovery is running, it is totally in memory so writing a new recovery does not effect it. If you want to go completely back to stock, including stock recovery, you must go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read items 5 and 6.

Sweet, that is exactly what I was looking for and then some. There were great tools like this for the Nook Tablet, I'm glad there are now the same for the Nook HD. Mucho thanks!

Spontaneously Reverted Back to Nook

Anybody else had this problem?

After over a month of using my Nook with CyanogenMod installed per this thread, with no issues at all, it spontaneously rebooted back to the Nook setup screen. Installed was CM-10.1-20130813.

I had just installed a new app, Timely alarm clock, and was using the timer when CyanogenMod rebooted, getting stuck on the animated logo screen. After about 15 minutes I powered off and on again to the stock Nook welcome screen.

I an NOT booting from the SD card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you still have the stock recovery installed, it will still do the 8 failed boot reset if it fails to boot 8 times in a row. If you install CWM or TWRP to internal memory replacing stock recovery it will not do that. I suspect your system tried to boot 8 times during that 15 minutes.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Technopope:
Well, I HAD installed the "cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip" per the installation instructions, which is why I am puzzled as to why there was any Nook left to boot from. I thought it completely replaced the Nook's recovery.

Thanks for your quick reply!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I am puzzled too. I did not think the custom recovery would install the factory zip that is always stored on the device even with complete CM/CWM orTWRP on everything.

If it does not boot 8 times in a row, it automatically boots to recovery and it sends commands there to reset using the factory.zip stored on another partition, which is the ROM the device was shopped with. I did not think that the custom recovery (in your case CWM) would act on the commands, but it must since it put the factory OS back on it.

CWM does completely replace stock recovery, but it does not replace the factory.zip stored on another partition.

Just had a strange thing happen on 10.1. While browsing, the screen went blank and started flickering furiously. For a few minutes I was freaking out that the display had popped it after a couple of weeks of you. Anyways ended up doing a hard reboot, and all seems as usual now - I'll keep monitoriing this, but has anyone else experienced this kind of on an issue. The first time for me, so my putting it on the OS, but it sure was scary...
[Nook HD, HD+ General] manojm:
I am having a problem installlig certain apps like tweeter, etc. The Play store says my content filtering does not allow the installation of this app! Any solution? I can not find any setting that would fix this problem. I am on CM10.1.3 stable.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] x000x:
i'm sure this has been asked before, but search came up with no results. whats the difference between emmc-stock-4GB-rev3 and emmc-stock-small-rev3?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It is the size of the image. When you extract it, the 4GB vision is 4GB and requires a 4GB or larger card and takes a long time to burn to the card. The small version is only about 100MB when extracted and can be burned to any size card and burns very quickly. But once burned has no room for backups or very little room for zips.

Linux version

Here is what you need to do on the Linuxes of the world.

df - this will find out what /dev/drive you need to unmount

sudo umount /dev/sdc1 (my setup) unmounts that partition. you may have other partitions to unmount on the same disk. you have to clear them all. I think you could just unmount the /dev/sdc and knock them all down.

now the trick was getting the dd command right. I was following the lead of the OS x, but I hit a couple of road blocks.

here is what worked.

sudo dd if=

emmc-cwm-early2.1.img

of=

/dev/sdc

bs=1M (your image will be differnt and don't forget your path)

make sure you use the capital M at the end.

After that i used gparted to extend the partition to the full length of the sd card. the dd task only created a partition the size of the image file.

Add your zips to install and follow the rest of emote's thread to get everything installed. This will help the noobs. I used ubuntu 12.04 for this.

if you're not using debian-based systems you will have to do all your terminal work from a su login. (root)

P.S. linux rools
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Not that there's anything wrong with using su instead of sudo several times in a row (my preference actally),

why do you think non debian systems don't have sudo?

Every linux distribution I've used since the RHL-5.0 days has had sudo. As did the Soliarix and HP-UX systems I worked on.

Having Boot up troubles

Let me start by saying the guide is bulletproof, and was amazed at how easy and well laid out it was to get CM onto the tablet. Kudos!

But I am having an issue. Every time I reboot the tablet (be it from battery drain or just wanting to do a reboot) it hangs during reboot on the cyanogenmod loading circle. The only way for me to get past this is to go to CWM, clear dalvik, and reboot and then it's fine, for that boot only. When I reboot the tablet again, I must repeat the same process, every time. I've tried it with/without SD cards inserted. I've even wiped the tablet and repeated the install process from scratch, always the same issue. (This is CM10.1 STABLE build BTW, which I have now moved to CM 10.2 Nightly to see if that would help with no success).

Also a side-question, Google Chrome will force close randomly and quite often, is that just the nature of the beast? Even while reading through the posts in THIS thread, Chrome just shut off on me like someone hit the home button or something. Anyone share these same experiences?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] iMisspell:
All my old data was still there after installing CM

New to Tablets but not to "flashing".

Just installed CM10.01.x (thanks to this guide, it whent fast and smooth).

Ive had my Nook for acouple weeks so i have some ebooks, pdf's and mp3s saved on it.

Something to note:

When following this guide and selecting 'Delete User Info' (during one of the install screens) all my books and any data i saved before was still present after the install was complete and CM was up and running.

I did back up everything before, but it was a nice surprise to discover it was all still there after.

Thanks to the Devs and everyone who contributes here.

Installed cm-10.1.3-ovation.zip stable release along with everything else. chose UK language on 1st boot, cannot get keyboard to come up.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I haven't time to flick through 60+ pages of posts.

What do I have to do to try latest nightly release?

Thank you.

Never mind. Latest nighlty build 20131007 keyboard works. But.... Next post.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I wanted to put this in a separate post in case it is not seen in the previous post.

Latest nightly build 20131007 , and this comes up a couple seconds after being in the apps screens, back to home screen.

Right hand side where google apps are. There are little icons just above the 6 dots which which are the other Google apps I think. But when the screen turns off, and I login again, the little icons are gond, leaqving only the 4 vertical icons when in landscape mode.

I'm not sure if this is your boot problem or not, but this is what fixed the same behavior for me:

For those looking for a Microsd card, I just got a Toshiba 16 GB microsd class 4 card and it worked flawlessly in my Nook HD+. It is on sale at Microcenter for $8.99. Good value IMHO. Previously I have used Sandisk 8 GB class 4 card and it is a delight to use, but was more expensive at Walmart than my new card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Siddas:
Just installed 10.1 on my hd+ today and I have the same issue. Only seems to be when charging and can go from madly flickering to once every few mins. Really weird.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] white6speedz28:
I have a Nook HD+. I have 2 microSD cards to work with. one is a Lexar Class 10 16GB microSD HC. The other is a SanDIsk Class 4 8GB microSD HC.

I followed these instructions:

Make bootable SD card

. Download the correct files for the Nook you have. Files specific to the HD+ are named 'ovation'. Files specific to the HD are named 'hummingbird'.

Note: Both CM10.1 and CM10.2 builds are available in the download list. Select the newest CM10.1 build available, NOT a CM10.2 build. 10.2 currently is bleeding-edge and you will have problems.

. Unzip boot image file; it'll uncompress to a 4GB image file.

. Install & run Win32DiskImager. Use it to write the 4GB image to SD card. Wait until done. (Mac OS X users refer to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43335741 for a media imaging tool.)

. Access newly imaged card to make sure it's readable. You may need to remove and reinsert card into the reader.

. For Nook HD+: Copy cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip, cm-10.1-2013####-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip, and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip onto boot SD card.

. For Nook HD: Copy cwm-recovery-hummingbird-1.zip, cm-10.1-2013####-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip, and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip onto boot SD card.

Back up stock ROM & Install CM 10.1

. Make sure Nook is powered off.

. Partially pull out rubber flap to uncover micro-SD slot at Nook's bottom edge. Insert card into slot until it clicks into place. Restore flap.

. Power up Nook. Nook should boot from card with 'Cyanoboot' logo on-screen. If it boots into stock ROM, power off Nook, remove and reinsert the card, and try again. Some Nooks are finicky and have trouble booting, so try several times. If it still fails, try with a different SD card.

I used the following files:

Boot Image: NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613

Recovery: http://nook.rootshell.ru/hd/cwm-recovery-ovation-3.zip

The only file listed here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ovation&type=stable

Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps

I have tried both microSD cards and the Nook HD+ continues to boot to the NOOK homescreen.

Does anyone have any thoughts? I know I'm dumb, but didn't think this could defeat me.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jalaldevil:
Hi guys,

I'm about to buy a Nook HD+, I was wondering can you install CM 10.1 without having to buy an SD Card?

I remember I used to have a HP TOuchpad and you could have installed CM by just storing the files on the local drive, is it possible to do the same on Nook HD+?

Regards
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No. You need the SD.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] timmyd463229:
Man your on top of every question I think its great that you care to help others..thank you!!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Siddas:
Hi leapinlar seeing as you are about do you know of any work round to stop the screen flicker on charging? It is doing my head in as I use my nook quite a lot and so end up with it on charge a fair bit while using it. Any help would be greatly accepted.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, I don't experience that issue. But I run ADW-EX and a custom LCD density of 320dpi, those may make a difference.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Siddas:
Cheers mate - will have a look into this.

I just downloaded it twice when I sent that last post. Something is wrong at your end.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] zsero:
First of all, thanks for this guide! Installing CM was easy! However I have a problem with wireless MAC addresses.

I bought 2 nook HDs. They have been running perfectly on the stock rom.

I have updated them to CM 10.1, and everything works fine, except they cannot connect to wireless at the same time!

I checked and they have the same MAC address. It might be because I used backup and restore to clone the ROM to each other and it might have cloned the MAC address. Or something else, I don't know.

Is this a known problem? Is there any way to fix it?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] timmyd463229:
Maybe make static ip address for them
[Nook HD, HD+ General] zsero:
It's not that, a router cannot send packets when there is a conflict of MAC addresses.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, it is a known problem. It is because you cloned the other system. Go to /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity and delete the wl1271-nvs.bin file on the system you copied the backup TO. Then reboot and that file will get rebuilt to have the right MAC Address.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] zsero:
Thanks a lot!!! Solved it immediately!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] zsero:
Also, I just wanted to say thanks a lot for this amazing guide! The Nook HD is now a super smooth tablet with an amazing screen!

I used bootfiles + diskpart to activate the partition, as it was both faster and smaller this way. Activating a partition using the built-in diskpart is really simple on windows, I'd put it as an extension to the guide. If you need help I'm happy to share how to do it in diskpart.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] reignking:
I've received my replacement HD+ today; hopefully this model's SD card drive works.

In my older one, that I need to return, I put it back to stock, but I've still got the Cynogen bootscreen appearing. Any thoughts on how to remove this? It shouldn't be an issue when returning, since it is a hardware issue, but not worth risking if I can solve it.

I suppose a better way to ask this is...can I reset to stock that I downloaded elsewhere, without using the backup?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, you need to flash the plain stock zip I have in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 6. It takes it completely back to 100% stock.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] reignking:
Thanks, I'll give it another shot. I really thought I had done that. Really strange that I'm getting the Nook and Cyanogen boot screens.

Hi My nook hd plus wont chage, using CM 10.1.3

Tried using USB laptop port and USB charger

Any advice appreciated
[Nook HD, HD+ General] loveleo:
thanks for the dummy guide. really helps.

I downloaded some of lepinar's zips too.

Works so smoothly now after the flash. Stock rom got too sluggish for me including chrome and most apps, going back to desktop will see the loading circle for over 10 seconds. That was just 2 months of use. Maybe I loaded too many apps and some of the apps may have problems. But anyway this time I only loaded the apps I regularly use and try to minimize the apps installed. So far after 1 month, still fast and smooth. Battery life also seemed to have improved a little. Even that I had juice defender before with the stock rom.

Making a bootable sd card.

Sorry for the ignorance but i'm trying to understand how to make a bootable sd card and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm a noob on this and I'm trying to do the dummies install. I'm following the instructions per this thread and for some reason when I go to source forge website and install the download a can seem to complete the rest.

I there a step by stem on how to do this procedure? I haven't been able to find any info and I've been trying to do this for the last 2 hours +/-.

I have a sandisc 16gb sd hc card that i will be using for this, also my os is windows 8 if that helps.

Any help will be greatly appreciate it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 1a. I have both the new and old procedure. Also look at my warning early in the post about sometimes it being difficult to get these SD's to boot.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wellcraft26:
leapinlar I just pm'ed you.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wellcraft26:
I just took a screen shot so u guys see where I'm stock making the bootable sd card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] iMisspell:
A bigger screen shot might be better. If you reached the forums size/weight limits, cutting the image in half and posting two images should work.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wellcraft26:
cant re-size the screen shot. Basically when I'm in the image file window from win32 ndisc imager window i click in the file tab and it will open another window that shows only sharePod_3.99 and the win32diskmanager-v0.9-binary, it doest show anything else so I dont know where to go from here.

What i'm doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

which is the 4GB image that I need to write to the SD card using win32disckmanager?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That is an archive file, you need to extract the binary. After extraction, does the binary file have .exe on the end? If it does not, put on it and double click it. And if you use my new procedure, you do not need to use win32diskimager at all. Did you read my item 1a as I recommended earlier?

Use the file that says bootable CWM, 4GB and has your device on it (HD or HD+).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wellcraft26:
OK, I'll try that. I'm here at Walmart buying an SD card, having problems with it, it seems that is corrupted. Will a regulars micro SD hC works with the nook?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Wellcraft26:
OK, i'm giving up, spent the whole day working on this and nothing, don't want top waste more time on this, i went to walmart and bought some extra sd cards and still showing that is corrupted. I'm a total noob on this, is there someone willing to remotely do the whole thing for me? I know it should be easy but I guess i'm an moron when it comes to this type of stuff. Willing to do a donation to the guys who are making this rooting for the nooks.

Any help will be greatly appreciated it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You don't seem to be reading my posts to you and my private message. I told you it cannot be remotely done. Someone could make a bootable CWM SD for you, but you must still boot it in your device and install the zips yourself. And you don't seem to be trying my new procedure in my thread where I recommended you try the non-burning method in my item 1a.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] manojm:
Leapinlar, thanks for your efforts. I and others do appreciate them. It is not that the "new" persons don't read, it is more like reading a totally alien language and not get a word of it. Give him/her sometime to get used to it.

Thanks again for all you do.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

Do not get discouraged. This can not be done remotely like leapinlar said. First make sure you have a Sandisk class 4 microSD card. Other cards could be trouble. Then take a deep breath and a good cup of coffee and follow Dummies Guide step by step. I did it and it will work for you too. Do not give up.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] :
If you are having problems with making the bootable card only, then I suppose I can help you via teamviewer? That part should be easily doable, the rest is up to you.

I followed this guy couple of weeks ago, everything worked flawlessly and my NookHD has been running fine ever since :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] reignking:
Figured out the issue -- I needed to use "plain" and not "rooted".

Just wish I could get the microSDXC card card to recognize 64 gb and I'd be all set...
