No, leave it as formatted fat32. You should not have used that big card to begin with since it wastes space. I always recommend using a small card (4-8GB) and keeping the card as a bootable CWM SD for future use. The guide here says to re-use the card for other things, but I have found you need it later.

Restore

I don't understand why the backup I made with CWM does not work?

During the restore the only error displayed is:

restoring data...

android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure

After booting I can't get past the Nook logo?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
By formatting those partitions you wiped out some data that a restore does not put back. You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a factory reset before you reboot.

Hi

Thanks for the guide used to install on Mrs Nook HD+.

I did it start of December. Now reformatted the sdcard but original files are on computer.

I tested it whilst using at work. Rebooted tested fine.

Gave to Mrs for christmas works fine until turn it off. On boot up it displays the bootloader before showing the spinning cyanogenmod forever.

The only way i can get it to work is to go to bootloader, wipe davlik then reboot. It then displays bootloader, showing the spinning cyanogenmod, then installs apps then boots up normal.

Is there a simple fix? Otherwise I'm thinking of going back to original stock
[Nook HD, HD+ General] josim:
After you get it booted, go to Settings>Launcher>Homescreen> then uncheck wallpaper quick render. Don't know why but, it seems to work?

[Nook HD, HD+ General] shamonee:
Star man, just done that and rebooted it a couple of times and boots up fine

I think i remember ticking that after installing everything! Cheers
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
As I stated earlier, the CWM restore only puts back the boot.img to p4 (partition 4) and /system to p8, /cache to p9 and /data to p10. So that leaves xloader on p1, bootloader on p2, recovery on p3, rom on p5, bootdata on p6 and factory on p7 not restored by CWM. So to get those back you must flash the stock ROM zip from my thread. It restores p1, p2, p3, p4, p6, and p8. During the boot process the device checks the integrity of p5 and p6 and if they need repair it boots to stock recovery (if installed on internal) and repairs p5 and p6 from a backup stored in p7. If p7 is messed up or the stock recovery is not installed, it cannot repair itself. That is why I have to sometimes make custom CWM flashable repair zips for certain users. But those repair zips do not repair as well as the factory repair and sometimes stock will not run because key data is still missing from p5. But CM usually will run.

Hi,

I have a HD+ that has been flashed according to this guide. A couple of weeks ago, Google Play stopped working. It gives me the message "No connection" and I just see the blank Play Store screen. Also, I cannot add Google accounts in the tablet's settings.

Using the internal updater, I'm on 10.2-20131229-NIGHTLY-ovation now (Google Play still doesn't work).

Can anybody help me with this issue? Is there new version of gapps that I need to install or something like this?

Thank you!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rfazley:
Could I restore a backup/apply an image which would replace all these partitions?

Also does the hard reset(8 times) depend on these partitions to restore the device?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ Tips thread and read item 16. It tells you how to restore partitions. But you would need to have backed them up earlier so you have a source to restore from.

And yes, the 8 failed boot procedure relies on partition 7 (factory) as a source for the factory ROM zip.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, if you updated from CM10.1 to CM10.2, you also need to update gapps. It needs the 20130813 version.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jrm83mrj:
Nook app?

First of all I wanted to say thank you. I HATE the stock B&N ui / native version of android. It's horrible, it lags ferociously, eats 75% of the ram and it overheats my battery. I thought that after they added Play capabilities that I would be fine with a stock HD+. Man was I wrong. I had to have it replaced three times. Rooting and flashing to CM10.1 was the best thing I ever did with this tablet. Your thread made that possible, and even easy, so thanks for that :)

I've only run into two problems thus far. One, that my keyboard initially didn't work, so I had to go find gapps specific to android 4.2.2 instead of 4.3.

After factory reset / re install of the 4.2.2 versions and a quick cache clean, it worked like a charm :)

I only find myself in this next predicament because I've spent so FLIPPING MUCH money building my library with Barnes and Noble. Not only can I not use the native library app (which I fully and completely understand because it's physically gone), I also cannot use the basic android version of the app either. Is there a specific reason for this? Does it screw with the OTA updates or something? I would very much like to not have to cancel my subscriptions and abandon my nook library. I've been searching threads now for about two hours as to why this is happening but I haven't found anything yet. Any advice / explanation / fixes would be greatly appreciated :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Your Nook reading library will still be available on CM10.1. Just go to the 1mobile.com store to get the android version of the nook reader app. It will install and work fine. Only certain magazines and kids interactive books are not available. And all your purchased apps from B&N will also be unavailable.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rfazley:
Would it be possible to obtain a complete backup of all the partitions and restore this image to recover my device?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you could find somebody with a unit you could make backups yourself from that one. But p5 and p7 are unique to that device and will end up being an exact clone, including serial number. And I don't know if it will function.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] eejayyeahuuh:
leapinlar.... I must be an idiot. I have scoured this thread up and down. I got everything to work and my nook currently has a version of CM on it.

My problem is that I cannot boot into recovery after installation. It is possible to boot into recovery on the nook HD(hummingbird) without the sd card, correct? I have also enable the advanced boot menu, booted into recovery from titanium backup and have been unable to boot into recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Did you install CWM or TWRP to internal memory as part of the setup?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] eejayyeahuuh:
I don't believe I did. I was supposed to install one of the above once I was in cwm? Is there any way to install it without creating the SD card again?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes you were. And no you need to create the SD again if you don't still have it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] eejayyeahuuh:
Does a SD card(not bootable) need to be in to flash roms? I was getting no context in cwm when I selected "install zip" and "advanced".
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Put the zip on the bootable SD and flash it from there. Make sure you are using the right bootable SD (one made from my thread).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mamalone:
I'm sorry, I'm an incredible n00b to this, so please excuse the stupid and ignorant questions.

I rooted my Nook HD+ (with Enable Unknown Source and Universal Root) according to leapinlar's instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613.

Does this mean I am fully rooted with CM and all that jazz?

If I am, what is the difference between leaplinar's files and these?

If not, would it be advisable to follow threw with the installation from this thread? Why or why not?

I have some other questions that i think I should reserve for further responses.

Thank you guys!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] adwait.bhandari:
No. Rooting doesn't mean you have installed CM. CM is a custom ROM. Rooting means you have the stock ROM but with higher privileges with which you can run ROOT apps like titanium backup.

You don't necessarily have to install CM if you are satisfied by the stock ROM itself. But if it is not up to your taste then feel free to follow the instructions and install CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mamalone:
Well, with leapinlar's instructions, when I boot up, it displays the CyanogenMod logo, so I assume that's what I have, no?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, the Cyanoboot (not CyanogenMod) logo is displayed on both my root and the CyanogemMod (CM) installs. So if you followed my instructions, you have rooted stock, not CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mamalone:
ooooh I see. Yeah, I do want CM (the stock kind of stinks :-/). So I guess I should pretty much start from scratch using e.mote's instruction then, right?

Thanks guys
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
If you built the CWM SD per my instructions and still have it, you can skip that part in e.mote's instructions and use mine. Start with the back up and move from there.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mamalone:
Nah, I've wiped it. Starting from scratch and away we go!!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Regardless what e.mote says here you need to put that image on a small SD (4-8GB) and KEEP it. You WILL need it again. I'm pretty sure I recommended that in my other thread that you used.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mamalone:
Stupid me. I didn't realize the backups were saved on the cards and would be needed to restore them. So with the CM instructions via e.mote, I should make backups and save the card?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] dev0n:
Excellent Work!

Picked up twin Nook HDs for my 7 and 8 year olds for Christmas, and before they ever booted the default OS I had CWM and CM on there for them. Took six minutes. Fantastic work on all this, props to the OP and everyone that has built and maintained the software for it!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You did not log in and register stock first? Your warranty is not validated until you do that.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] timmyd463229:
When you say register do you mean when it boots up make an account and whatever else it asks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, in stock.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] timmyd463229:
OK cool I did that just making sure
[Nook HD, HD+ General] islander2013:
similar scenario, i created an account, and did try to use the OS for 10min and that was enough. so slow and restricted.

thank you cyanogenmod.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, you need to put stock back on it to register. If you need guidance on how to do that so you do not lose you current setup, I can provide that.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] AND-R01D:
This is my first post, been a long time lurker on here and finally bought a Nook HD+! Would just like to thank e.mote for the the guide and leapinlar for answering so many questions, as a noob I'm now fairly confident I can do this install.

However I do have one question; should I use my 32GB class 10 Samsung micro SD card for the install, and then format it afterwards so that I can utilize the full capacity, or buy a Sandisk 4GB class 4 to do the install? I've read that smaller capacities at class 4 seem to be much more reliable, but am unsure. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Forgot to ask, what format should the SD card be for the install? I have them using the FAT 32 file system, but have heard that NTFS is better?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Use a the 4GB SanDisk class 4 and keep it for later use as a CWM SD. You will need it again. And format FAT32.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] AND-R01D:
Thanks for the advice!

SD Card issues

I have tried putting CM10.1.3 on my nook all day with no success. It never recognizes the SD card. I have tried both a 4gb class 4 and a 16gb class 10 (the only two I have). I have tried the factory reset trick, which didn't work either. I am wondering if I have a problem writing the boot image to the card. After I unzipped CWM it is a 3.65GB folder. After it gets written to the SD card it is 5 files of only 5.80 MB. Is it writing the image properly? I have read that the multi-card readers can sometimes cause problems(its all I have at the moment). I have probably rebooted, restarted, about 60 times total. Any Ideas about what I can doing wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That sounds right for the files. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and there is a new SD preparation instruction in item 1a.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jackdog85:
Help with unrooting please!

Hi, Can anybody provide a 'superdummies' guide to returning rooted Nook HD to stock, so I can take it back to Sainburys?

I managed the cyanogenmod rooting process fine, thanks to the dummies guide, but tablet now has a fault, not switching on without a lot of messing about.

When I installed CWM I saved a Nook Stock ROM backup zip file to my PC.

What do I now need to do with this? Do I unzip it or not? How do I get it into the tablet? And do I have to make a boot SD card? Using Windiskimager? If so what should be on it.

Or should I use one of the 'NookHD-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock.zip' files downloadable via the site? And if so, the same questions apply about unzipping and imaging.

Please can somebody help, as this is driving me nuts! Step by step would be great. Many thanks.

Why not update the original thread already?

I note that the original post is dated 10th of June and since then a lot has changed. For example the thread for bootable CWM for HD+ says it has been updated in December to reflect changes such as removal of the file protection :confused:

The problem is that this thread is 100+ pages long and I have no idea if I should go ahead and waste another few hours deciphering and trying out files that may well be out of date and not work nicely along newer files/ roms. :(
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jackdog85:

Sorted this now. Worked it out somehow!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Quickblood:
I just bought a used Nook HD+ installed 10.1.3 and immediately was really disappointed, It was slow. The transitions between pages was terrible even my Acer B1 is smoother, it just doesn't seem right. So I restored everything, set up a B&N account so I could see what their version of Android was like and it doesn't have the jerkyness that I experienced and seems pretty smooth. Any ideas why this is, anything to do with this trim thing?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Probably. Do a format 'data and datamedia' in the CWM mounts and storage menu. See if that helps with CM10.1.3.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Quickblood:
Thanks It's much better but still not as silky smooth as I'd expected. For the price I can live with it but I'm a little disappointed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] adwait.bhandari:
I suggest you try the new CM11. Then in the performance menu uncheck "Use high end graphics" and check "Disable wallpaper service".

While you're at it you may also keep the "Background process limit" at the developer options to be "At most 2 processes". Your tablet will become smooth enough with almost no noticeable lag. Of course you sacrifice having beautiful wallpapers and multitasking to some extent but the end result will be a much smoother tablet!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Quickblood:
Is there a CM11 thread for dummies too? I'm just wondering if those options are available in 10.1.3?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] se1961:
I'm running cm11 with ART runtime. Don't see those options. Are they not used with ART?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] adwait.bhandari:
Those options are only in succulent's CM11 builds. But even without those options CM11 is smooth enough.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] se1961:
Got it. Thanks for clarifying. And I completely agree, smooth enough. :)

Issues with 10.1 - sometimes wont come out of unlock screen

I loaded 10.1 about 3 weeks ago onto a Nook HD. Once in a while, I can't get it to wake up pressing the "N" button. I end up holding the power button to reboot it.

But lately, fairly frequently, when the screen is black, the N will wake it up, but it won't unlock. When I slide to unlock, it makes a click sound, then reverts back to the lock screen.

Is there something I can do?

I was running stock for a few months, with Nova Launcher to make it a bit better. I had tried SD install CyanogenMod but due to the speed of the card results weren't that great. So finally decided to just go for full install today.

Quick question though, when creating zip files of stock rom and baseline rom, does it matter if the directory is like this;

Nook Stock ROM Backup.zip\clockworkmod\backup\2014-01-12.13.06.58

or this;

Nook Stock ROM Backup.zip\backup\2014-01-12.13.06.58

?

WinRar defaulted it to the first one, with clockworkmod part of the directory tree. Also does it matter WinRar compressed it?

Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Actually you do not need to use winrar to make that zip. The files are already compressed. Just copy the folder to your PC without zipping.

But yes that first folder structure is ok if you still want it zipped.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DaveSimonH:
When you restore from the backups, do they need to be zips? I was only making them zip archives as it says to do so in the guide, and when installing gapps etc they are zips.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No. Backups use a different format.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DaveSimonH:
Oh OK thanks, I'll just leave the directory unzipped.

Now my NookHD+ is in a bootloop... Can someone please explain how to fix this? I tried to load a new .zip image on to the sdcard, but the sdcard will not mount :crying:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You probably tried to install a CM11 zip. In any case, you need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new CWM SD and flash a plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a factory reset. Then you can start over with this thread.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Mitsuya Cider:
Yes that is what happened...

Oh no :crying: I must do all this stuff again?!

and now I have lost everything also?

Sigh... How do I just jump to CM11 then?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You can try just flashing the CM10.1 again. But you said the CWM does not work. If so, just make the SD again and try flashing CM10.1 without resetting.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Mitsuya Cider:
I fixed it, had to do a factory reset and then flash cwm, then cm10.2 then the gapps all over again.

Thanks for the help... wished there was an easier way. :(
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fullboogie:
I did this mod on my new HD+ and absolutely love it. Thanks a ton to everyone who put time into this!

[Nook HD, HD+ General] SovietRussian:
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.
