[Nook HD, HD+ General] procter:
I'm still a little confused. We were talking about the "bootable CWM image" used in the very first step to backup stock and flash emmc CWM recovery and the CM ROM. So you were saying the images you linked in OP was only for CM10, and my understanding is that the only problematic process is flashing the CM11 ROM with it. Technically using your linked CWM bootable image would be fine in the first two processes: backup stock and flash the emmc version of cwm recovery?

If that's the case, can I use this large image to backup stock and flash the emmc recovery and then unplug the sd and boot into the emmc CWM to flash the CM11 ROM then? Later on this SD w/ backup on card would be fine to serve as the rescue card back to stock, no matter what my current CM ROM is since it's not gonna write any CM11 related files, just gonna wipe the partition and get the stock Rom back.

I ask this because the only version of bootable image for CM11 I could find is the one in Verygreen's thread, which was the one I used, file is only 7.2MB and leave you only 849mb free space on the SD, so not possible to create this All-in-one bootable card.

Hope I have explained what I wanted to achieve clearly enough. Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, you can use it to back up stock and flash the v6045+ version of CWM to internal memory. Then you can use the v6045+ CWM to flash the CM11 zip. And you can save that SD for rescue purposes to restore stock. In fact that is a good idea. But if you wanted to use the v6045+ CWM to try to restore the stock, I'm not sure it is compatible with the older backup.

Is this the right forum for CM questions?

I have posted an issue with CM 10.1.3 on the Q&A/Troubleshooting forum. Wondering if this is the more appropriate thread for questions relating to post-installation questions CM 10.1/10.2 on the Nook HD/HD+? Or is this thread primarily dealing with installation issues?

I am planning to install CM 10.2.1 (Stable) using this tutorial. Do I only need to download the latest gapps 20130813 in addition to the CM 10.2.1 file, the rest are the same?

Also can you please help clarify, for the cwm-recovery-ovation-#.zip, does this still needs to be downloaded? When I click the link it says "13/08/09 - We are official part of CM now, yay! Further updates will be at...", does this mean that CWM is included in CM 10.2.1 and I can skip this?

Thanks :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You do need the 813 gapps also. The rest are the same. And you still need the recovery if you want CWM on internal memory. The CWM is not included with CM10.2.1.

Questions about 10.2.1 vs 10.1.3

I've got 10.1.3 installed on both an HD and an HD+. They seem to running well except for some odd behavior with the recent apps button on the HD+ (sometimes it doesn't work). Thinking about trying 10.2.1 on at least one of them but I have 3 questions:

1) Do I install 10.2.1 (and the new gapps) on top of 10.1.3, i.e., do I just repeat the process used to install 10.1.3? (I don't need to reinstall CWM, right?)

2) Is 10.2.1 really stable? I see some people seem to be having some issues with it.

3) Or should I take the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach and stick with 10.1.3?

Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I'm not sure I am the right one to answer this since I like CM10.1.3 and have never run CM10.2.1. I have zero issues with it, not even your recents issue. But I use ADW as my launcher too.

But many say CM10.2.1 is ok.

If you want CM10.2.1, just install it over the top of CM10.1.3. Keep CWM the same. If you have trouble, go back to CWM and do a factory reset. If you want to go back to CM10.1.3, definitely wipe first.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bonline:
I have the Nook HD - I rooted it long time ago and then last year at some point I upgraded to CM-10.1.3 via the automatic upgrade process. Then last week, the same update option indicated that CM-10.2.1 is available. I upgraded in the same manner. But I am having issues, it reboots automatically periodically. Also I am not able to access the play store as it says no connection (I am able to surf the web). Any help would be great.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
When you update to CM10.2.1, you also need to update the gapps. There is a new version made just for CM10.2 at goo.im.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bonline:
Leap - thank you - I should just download the GAAPS zip to the SD card and just install it via the recovery menu?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bonline:
I got it working thank you Leapinlar, hopefully it doesn't reboot - lets see.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] hendoben:
i followed this tutorial and it worked perfectly, but CM isn't playing all that nice with my tablet and i'd like to go back to stock, i have the backup.

Is there a tutorial for that? I guess there is but i haven't been able to find it. thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my plain stock zip from item 6 there. You could restore your backup but it does not restore the stock recovery so using the zip is best.

[NOOK HD/HD+] Installing CyanogenMod 10.1/10.2 for Dummies

I had the CM 10.2 running for few months without problems and suddenly it is gone and my Nook HD+ is booting to stock os and wants me to do setup. I have a backup but not recent, is there a way to get back to CM without loosing data?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Not unless you backed it up. What happened to you was a reset by the device to stock (8 failed boot). As part of that it wiped the internal memory clean. So your CM10.2 data is gone.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] figarojones:
I just got a Nook HD, and had heard that one could install CyanogenMod onto an SD card so that if the card was in, it would boot standard Android, but if the card was out, it would boot Nook android. However, reading over the steps, it looks like I have to root the Nook and then install CyanogenMod over the top of it.

Am I misreading, or will I need to risk bricking my new, shiny piece of hardware?

Either way, I want to thank you for all the work you're doing here.

Going to cm10.1.3

Am I understanding correctly since some of the links in this thread link to leapinlar,s thread that I can use same SD that I made for the stock root can be used for this process? I think I just need the Cm 10.1.3 hummingbird file and the gapps 8/12 file on that disk then clear the caches and dalvic and factory restore and I should have this in correctly.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
This is the wrong thread if you want to install to SD. This thread will install CM to internal memory replacing stock. Look for a thread in the dev forum for installing to an SD.

Like here for CM10.1:

Yes, you can use the same bootable CWM SD that you made to root stock for installing CM10.1/CM10.2 to internal memory per this guide. No need to make a new one. But not factory restore, factory reset.

Being the noob that I am, I unknowingly applied the cm 11 snapshot update to my cm 10.2.1 firmware; and now it runs a loop on the cyanogen mod boot up screen. Do I do a wipe data/ factory reset or can I just install the cm 10.2.1 ovation from my sd card again.

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] azpatterson3:
If you didn't install a new cwm or twrp, you should be able to restore nandroid backup. If you don't have a nandroid, do data wipe and factory reset then reinstall.

I am running cm 11 and really like it. You need to use a different v version of cwm for that install. It is more detailed then just update. Hope that helps.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
What CWM did you use to flash that CM11? If you used one older than 6045 then you can just flash the CM10.2.1 again and everything should be ok. If it still stalls, try just wiping the dalvik cache. If it still stalls after that, then factory reset.

Thanks will try what u suggested.

this look right ?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] HiddenG:
Looks good to me. Just turn off your Nook, insert SD card and boot. Hopefully you should end up in CWM, then just install the two zip files (CM + Gapps). Reboot and you're good to go. ;)

You may have trouble booting into CWM if you have a newer Nook, or depending on your SD card.

All the best however. ;D
[Nook HD, HD+ General] cirian75:
all went well, absolutely zero issues.

wanted me to update as soon as it was loaded though

Ive not installed that update though until consulting here.

Seems I was right not too

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Do not update to any CM11 automatically. You will a need special CWM to install CM11. Stick with CM10.2.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] HiddenG:
Haha, good move. Don't update to CM11 using automatic updates, as suggested by leapinlar. I'd just stick to CM10.2 for now, until CM11 is stable (unless you're willing to upgrade CWM to a specific version for CM11; also stated by leapinlar).

What I would recommend is, go into Settings, CyanogenMod Updates, and set the "Check for updates" to manual. This way you won't get constant notifications to update your CM version, plus it would protect you (or other users) from accidentally updating via notifications.

Again, all the best. :)

Like a wally, I used my 32GB SD to make the boot loader before realising I should have used my 4GB. Everything has installed fine but I would really like to make my 32GB card available for other use. Is it sufficient backup to just save the folder 'clockworkmod' folder onto my PC or do I have to go about making an image file of my 32GB card and then write it onto the 4GB?

Or, could I easily replicate a bootup SD card by repeating the step involving Win32DiskImager and then copy and pasting the 'clockworkmod' folder back onto the drive?

Thanks for your help :o
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Goggles2114:
Personally I would make a .IMG file of the card and save that image in more than one location.

You can reboot and install later. Sounds like a bad download of the gapps zip. Redownload the zip.

Problem with baseline backup

Hi there,

I followed the tutorial and everything went well at first attempt. As suggested I've left the SD card with the boot loader intact, so I bought a SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 to use it as external card. The card is recognized, I can write on it but when I try to make a baseline backup through CWM all process go well, it says that backup was completed but the only thing in the card is an empty folder named lost.dir. I have tried several time, I even tried reformatting the SD card but always with the same result.

Thanks in advance for any help

bootable SD card or internal

Somebody please help me, I am almost there just a few question before I flash as this is my first time with Nook HD+.

In the instructions above I see files for bootable SD followed by 3 other files.

1. I want to install internally: this means shall I simply ignore and just add all the last 3 files 'cwm recovery', CM 10.1 and GAPPS to a fat32 formatted SD card. Am I correct?

2. I also saw in the instructions that followed, to insert the SD card to a switched off Nook and simply switch it on and this will go into the cyanoboot screen - I am presuming this is in the case of a bootable SD card, if I just copy the 3 files above, I shall be holding the power button and home button to go into recovery mode and continue with the flashing! Am I correct in my understanding?

Somebody please clarify, I will continue the flashing after I hear from one of you.

thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] azpatterson3:
You need to make the bootable sd card and flash the files from that. No pressing power and vol buttons. That will just get you into stock recovery until you flash cwm to internal. Just put in your bootable sd card with the cm, gapps and emmc cwm zip files and turn the nook on. Flash away. Remove sd card and reboot.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] MarcoB1957:
Hi azpatterson3,

thanks for your reply, unfortunately in my internal card there isn't such directory and there isn't a folder called cwm or backup. There is a folder named clockworkmod which contains a file named .recovery_version, but I'm guessing it is a different matter.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] azpatterson3:
You are correct, the folder name is clockworkmod. And inside that I have one named backup. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Just in case somebody else has/will have the same problem.

I tried one more time and in the process I noticed that there is an option in backup/restore that say "backup to external card". I choose this one instead of "backup" and it did work.

No connection to google apps

Hello all,

I've searched but can only find one other reference to this problem in this thread.

I've installed CM10.2.1 (fantastic noob friendly guide by the way) and had no problems except that when I click on google apps, it says 'no connection - retry'.

I've tried rebooting but no luck.

I've double checked and I definitely installed the gapps-jb-2013-08-13-signed version which I believe is correct for CM10.2.1.

What should I try next?

I should also say that I tried wiping the 'hosts' file but there was nothing in there apart from 127.0.0.1 localhost anyway. I've re-downloaded gapps from goo.im, should I try re-installing from CWM boot from an SD card?

Thanks

UPDATE SOLVED:

So in case anyone else has this issue, it seems that a manual proxy was set up under my wifi settings (I didn't put it there). Going back to no proxy solved it.

Can't reinstall CM 10.2.1

Solved: See below.

When I first got my HD+, I did an SD "install" of CM 11. Then I installed CM 11 to the emmc, via CWM, per all the instructions on the xda website.

Once CM 11 was installed, I changed to TWRP 2.6.3.0. (I like being able to name the backups.)

Then I did a wipe and dropped down to CM 10.2.1. (More stable.) I did the install from TWRP.

Then I installed the fuzz kernel from TWRP.

Last, I updated to TWRP 2.6.3.0a when I couldn't get Succulent's CM 11 to install.

Okay, so tonight I wanted to do a clean install of CM 10.2.1, without gapps this time.

So I booted to recovery, did a wipe, and tried installing CM 10.2.1.(The build came direct from Cyanogen mod's website for the Ovation.)

I get an error similar to what I got when I tried to install Succulent's CM 11. Here's the error message:

assert failed: get prop ("ro.product.device") == "ovation" || get prop ("ro.build.product") = ="ovation"

I dropped back to CWM and tried installing the ROM from three different versions: CWM 6.0.4.5, 6.0.4.5b, and CWM 6.0.4.6.

I tried installing CM 10.2.1 from the internal and the external SD card.

No joy. Fortunately, a Nandroid backup beforehand and I've restored to where I was.

Any ideas what's wrong? It shouldn't be this hard. It doesn't seem that a ROM install should be Recovery Dependent . But maybe it is?

Leapinlar offers one solution, below. Another solution was alluded to by King200 to me in another forum, but it sounded arcane and hard to do. It wasn't.

Here are Windows instructions:

Note: leapinlar said

So I've removed the recommendation here, but, for educational purposes, posted it in a new thread, in the Help &* Troubleshooting forum, titled "One workaround for 'assert failed' during CM install."
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes I know what is wrong. You can only use CWM 6045 or newer or the TWRP equivalents on CM11. CM10 requires an older CWM. You can get 6036 from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature (item 5).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] PMikeP:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I suspected that might be the problem. I probably lost track of what version of CWM I had used originally to install CM 11, and that version must have worked for both CM 11 and CM 10.

But, as in my edited post above, I found a more generic solution.

Can you please explain to me why CWM or TWRP are so fussy about the install? It seems to me they ought to be agnostic about which version of CM they're installing.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The issue has to do with the update-binary in the newer zips vs the update-binary in the older zips. The binary files are what interprets the statements in the install script files. The new CWM/TWRP recoveries cannot return the proper results in an assert property statement in the script using the old update-binary file. Since the assert statement fails, the install fails. The solution is to either use an older CWM/TWRP recovery or to put the new update binary file in the old zip. It is usually easier to tell people to use the old recovery with the older zips.

Another solution that some users recommend is to remove the offending assert statement from the script. That is a very dangerous recommendation. The assert statement is designed to prevent the user from flashing a zip for another device to their device and bricking it. That is why I recommend NEVER REMOVE AN ASSERT STATEMENT FROM A ZIP!

I now see your edit. Please go back and tell people not to do this! I don't want that recommendation in my thread!

Unable to update to 10.2.1

Firstly, thanks for this guide. I used it to install 10.1.3 which until recently I had been happily running for a while. It all went wrong when I tried to update to 10.2.1.

I tried it via the 'About tablet'/'CM updates' section in Settings but it gave me a message about an incompatible recovery (it flashed by too quick to read), so I did a backup, manually downloaded the update and installed it by booting to recovery and finding the zip. It worked OK but I got lots of messages about Google+, Chrome and Play Store crashing so I manually installed the 10.2.1-compatible Google Apps zip via the same method. The tablet was terribly laggy after this - really, really bad - so I restored my 10.1.3 backup. I got multiple Google apps crash messages after this so I re-installed the 10.1.3-compatible Google apps zip via recovery.

Now I don't get the crashes but I still get the terrible lag and am stuck on 10.1.3. I can download 10.2.1 via 'About tablet'/'CM updates', but when I reboot to install it I get these messages (still too quick to read, but I filmed it on my phone, played it back and paused it):

E:unknown volume for path [/emmc/0/cmupdater/cm-10.2.1-ovation.zip]

E:Can't mount /emmc/0/cmupdater/cm-10.2.1-ovation.zip

Installation aborted

Any idea how I can a) get rid of this crippling lag and b) get updated to 10.2.1?

I've run LagFix but that hasn't cured the lag.

Thank you
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Your best bet is to manually reinstall everything fresh from a clean device. Have your downloaded zips ready and boot to CWM. First do a factory reset followed by going to mounts and storage and formatting /system. Then flash the CM10.2 zip followed by the 20130813 gapps. That should make everything clean.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Nelviticus:
Thanks - I followed your advice and did a factory reset, formatted /system and did a fresh 10.2.1 install but after a promising start the crippling lag is back. I think my Nook must be faulty and it's just a coincidence that it started happening when I upgraded to 10.2.1. It's a pity, it's a great tablet but I think I'm just out of luck.

Are CWM recovery versions specific to Cyanogenmod versions?

I have installed CM 10.1.3 on an HD and an HD+ and have also installed 10.2.1 on a different HD+. I want to try the CM11 snapshot on my HD and I know is needs a later CWM version, right? If I need to revert to one of the stable versions for whatever reason, will I need to reflash the older CWM version or is CWM needed for CM11 backward compatible with older versions?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you want to install CM11 you need to go to the CM11 install thread I linked in the OP and use the new CWM. And the new CWM necessary for CM11 is not backwards compatible with earlier versions. To go back to CM10.1/CM10.2 you must go back to the old CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Nelviticus:
I am but the place I bought it from is out of stock, as is just about everyone else. Also it's an intermittent fault (related to the radio I think, as downloads sometimes stall for seconds and I've had reboots when signing in to Google and DropBox) which is difficult to demonstrate.

Good idea though, I'll give it a try. In the meantime I'll buy a used one off eBay.

What does radio have to do with lag? Is what you are calling lag just stalling on downloads? Lag is usually just apps opening slowly or pauses between switching between apps or screens.
