when it was not booting i was using: cwm-recovery-hummingbird-1 (early this morning)

when i did it get it to boot, i used the cwm from the thread i referenced. You now explained why it would not load up the unofficial hummingbird.zip file.

Really i am not trying to be confusing. i swear.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
What do you mean you were using it? It is only meant to be flashed with CWM and then it is on emmc. It is not meant to be used on the SD.

And you still did not answer my question about which device you have. Answer my questions when I ask and it will not be confusing to me!

I have the HD. (the 7 inch variety)

Here is what i had on my card as per the instructions:

files and sizes:

cm-10.1-20130719-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip - 170618kb

gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip - 93181kb

kernel - 3445kb

MLO - 128kb

ramdisk.cwm - 1815kb

u-boot.bin - 256kb

uImage - 299kb

cwm-recovery-hummingbird-1.zip - 5718kb

it had been flashed with cwm-recovery-hummingbird

and it would not work.

i could not get anything to boot off the sd. had no way to put it on the EMMC as it was not rooted and there was no way to force it. I needed the cwm bootloader to come up so i could put something somewhere or flash the internal memory.

Hense my round-about solution above.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Can you explain what this means? I have no idea what you are talking about (flashed?).

And where did those individual files (MLO, kernel, uImage, ramdisk.cwm and u-boot.bin) come from? From my BOOTFILES rar? Or from my 6027 image? Or somewhere else? I can't tell because all CWM SD files are named that (both hummingbird and ovation versions).

Having trouble booting from the SD is the most common problem people have. There's a couple of dedicated thread for it, and you can scan them for ideas. The best solutions thus far is to try different cards, and trying different methods as leapinlar suggested. And keep trying. There's no need to swap in bootfiles from different platforms. I think you're making it more complicated than it is.

I've retrofitted 6 different HD+'s and all except one have booted the first time (the odd duck took 3 attempts, but booted fine thereafter). So from that small sampling, I'd say that it's probably finding the right SD card.

Anyway, good luck. If you can't get it to work, the last resort is to exchange the device and hope for better luck with the next unit.

Is there a guide like this for the Nook Tablet 16GB?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] acdcking12345:
So if I go ahead and install this, will it allow me to flash a different rom like carbon as well? I assume I would install it through the recovery, correct?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] didadi:
Thanks for the works guys!.

I've some questions.

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.)

So, I'm using Mint15. I have 16GB uSD card. I've 2 partitions created with dev/mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p5 (logical/extended).

I am doing dd if=<img> of=/dev/mmcblk0p1

I create a fat32 FS on p5 and copy the following 3 files.

. For Nook HD+: Copy cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip, cm-10.1-2013####-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip, and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip onto boot SD card.

questions

1. Is this the right way to do using Mint/Ubuntu?

2. If not, what is the way? Do I need to create a Fat32 on mmcblk0p1 as well and then do dd?

What am I missing here?

3. Not having win32diskimager is kind of confusing me. IF I do "dd" command,on to the card there is no FS format being specified.

Please help.

thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No, that is not right. mmcblk0p1 is on internal memory, not the SD.

Your easiest solution using Linux is to use my new procedure where you do not need to burn the image to SD. You just end up copying the bootfiles to the prepared SD. To prepare the SD, use partitioning software to set the first fat32 partition to active (boot in Linux terms). Then copy the bootfiles there. To get them, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 1 and the new procedure. There is a Linux version of SDFormatter and gparted in Linux can set the partition parameters.

Is there any possibility of Wi-Fi hot spot on this ROM? I'm using Linux and it doesn't play nice with mtp, so airdroid is my best option.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You mean to transfer files by wifi? If you do, yes, there are many apps that let you do this. I use wifi explorer, but that is a paid app. I think ES Explorer lets you do that for free, but not sure. They set up a server and you can use your Linux browser to transfer.

Thanks leapinlar (and for all your work on the nooks too!)

Yeah it was for transfer via wifi but I'm often in a place where there is none so wanted to be able to use the nook as a hotspot itself, rather than having to go thru an existing network.

Alright fellas!

Thanks to leapinlar, verygreen and e.mote are in order.

I received my Nook HD+ a couple of hours ago. Played around with the slow as a snail Nook skinned Android Stock OS, and this is coming from a first time Android user.

I had already went through this whole thread earlier this week, prepared a couple of SD cards in excitement, and was ready to flash CM10.1 as soon as i got it out of the box. Maybe that's the reason i found the stock OS so sluggish.

I want to give my two cents out here because i believe i am one of the very few lucky ones to be able to bootinto CWM on the first go. This was the procedure I chose to do as my first try, combining the inputs of all helpful people in the community:

I readied 2 SD cards: an old Moser Baer 4GB Class 4 that i was using in my Blackberry 9900 and a not so old 4GB sandisk Class 4 from my scanner.

Next i turned off my Nook and let it stay for half an hour just to be safe (I had read some knowledgeable people stating that there is a lag in the reset of some kind of a chip that runs the MicroSD). The next step, i inserted the Moser Baer card, pressed and held the Nook N button while turning the power on.

Worked like a charm in the first boot. That card is going in my vault as it is. LOL.

CyanogenMod logo never ending boot screen - Help

I've search for hours on Google and this forum for a fix and can't seem to find anything that works. On my Nook HD+ I installed CM 10.1 as per the instruction on this forum under Installing CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies. First, I am a noob and this was my first root attempt. I follow instructions well and am reasonably intelligent. The install went well (as far as I could tell). I was able to load Android 4.2, follow all the Android prompts, set it up and made backups of Baseline CM 10.1 and stock Nook and saved on my PC. On my Nook Hd+ CM 10.1 worked for the first night, but now.... My problem is that when I power on my Nook HD+ I get stuck in the never ending boot screen with the spinning CM logo. I've tried to clear the dalvik cache and wiped cache partition. This does get me past the CM spinning logo, but then goes to a screen that says Android is upgraded then starts optimizing and downloading apps. After this process which takes just a couple of minutes, it finally boots up android with the familiar lock screen. I've also tried wipe data / factory reset, then reinstalled CM 10.1 then restore my saved back up. This only takes me to the spinning logo again. After a force shut down and clearing the caches again I can get back into Android. The last thing I've tried was to format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) in CWM, but you guessed it, didn't work; still stuck on boot screen. What am I doing wrong? How do I get a workable version of CM 10.1 on my Nook HD+?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It sounds like you had it working until you restored that backup. It is normal for that optimizing apps screen to show after wiping dalvik cache. It went to the lock screen. Why did you restore your backup after that? That puts back the same problem it had before.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jsavory:
I restored the backup because I didn't want to lose custom settings I changed, pictures and apps. I understand your point on putting the problem back on the device with the backup. I guess I thought it was just backing up my settings and not the underlying issue. Is there anyway to keep my settings and apps? Also, any ideas why this happened in the first place? If I re-install using the same files, wouldn't it theoretically happen again? Also, when doing this, do I install just CM 10.1 using CWM on a regular SD card then reboot? I want to make sure I am doing the procedure exactly the way it should be done. Thanks for the reply and help.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
No I don't know why this happened. And installing the same apps could make it happen again, but I doubt it. It was probably just a glitch. Do it like you did it last time you got it working, just don't restore the backup.

CM 10.1 random reboot

I installed according to your instructions which were very easy to follow for someone who had never done this before. Thank you for the detailed instructions! The only issue I am having is my Nook is randomly rebooting. When I say random, I mean random. It might be in use or charging, or just sitting. There is no particular app that I might be using when it reboots. Any ideas? Sorry if this isn't the right place for this post. I have asked some others who have CM 10.1 installed and only one person had a similar problem.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
its actually a common problem. most people dont notice it because it might be happening while device sleeps...

for me its usually happening when using play store for some reason. On the other hand, I can game for hours and not a problem, so I'm really thinking it has to do with some google apps services
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ilvtrance:
I had the same issues. I just used the carbon tweaked rom in place of the cm10 file using he same instructions, and never have issues anymore. It's stable fast and no reboots. now just waiting on a 4.3 version to hit the forum :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] cdaters:
Can you post a link to the Carbon ROM you used?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] chr0:
Alright, so I had made a baseline backup, and then further backups from CWM as I saw CyanogenMod to be stable. About 5 backups made, /clorkworkmod folder moved from the SD Card to my PC.

Attached is one of them, i have been trying to restore these through CWM's backup/restore option. It just keeps saying "No Files found".

I tried moving it to internal storage after a fresh install of CM10.1. No go.

I tried making a folder in the internal /data/media/clockworkmod as I had read worked in previous versions of CM and CWM. No go.

What am I doing wrong?

I have begun redoing all the effort i put in this 600odd MB customization, but i'd like to make a new backup from CWM that works.

Thanks for ya'll's efforts in making the Nook HD+ workable.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You have to put the backups in the right location before CWM can find them. CM10.1 and CWM use different locations for internal storage. The /data/media/clockworkmod/backups is where the backups should be put on internal memory for CWM to see it when using the internal option. CM10.1 uses /data/media/0/clock...

Thank you for this fantastic guide. After a nerve-wracking time, I have a Nook HD that feels far more useful. I can use my Bluetooth keyboard and run star-charting apps.

Despite the simple guide, I ran up against a few problems.

1. The recommended Mac programs would not write the IMG to the disk. When I tried using the Terminal instead, I found out why. It did not like the fact that the CM filename include brackets. When I renamed the file that was solved.

2. It did not like that I had the files in a folder I had named that included the word "used". When I just renamed the folder Nook, all was well.

3. It took me a while to get the Nook to boot from the new card. It succeeded when I powered off, then left it for a good minute or so to try again. So don't try too soon?

My Nook now has a much more professional feel about it. I realise how much B&N had crippled it.

An Omen Perhaps?

Yesterday my restored B&N stock2.1 failed for unknown reasons and my Nook HD+ booted into CynogemMod and hung on the boot logo. I am a complete newbie to Android world but not afraid to try! So I immediately pulled my Sandisk SD card and loaded with verygreen's 20130801 cm10.1 (on my faithful laptop as per emote's fabulous guide).

NOOK HD+ and nook reader app

About six weeks I successfully installed CM 10.1 on my Nook HD+. Everything seems to run well except for the nook reader app which I was not able to install directly from Google Play. I found and downloaded the reader v3.3 apk however it would not recognize the external sd card? I was only able to read my books if I transferred them onto the internal directory Nook/My Documents/Books. Today I found an updated 3.4 apk but it too will not recognize anything on the ext. sdcard. Is this a known limitation of the CM10.1 or is there a way for the nook app to access the ext. sdcard?

The ext. sd card is recognized by the system and file explorers it just the nook reader app that fails to "see" it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That is because of the way CM10.1 on emmc is set up. It sets the internal SD as /sdcard which is where the nook app looks. The solution is to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 4. I have a zip there that will swap ext_sdcard and sdcard so that apps like the nook app use the external SD rather than the internal SD by default. But it makes it that way for all apps.

Thank you for the quick reply. I downloaded/extracted the file and as instructed in a new folder named /data/local/userinit.d

and set the file permission to execute for all three boxes. Upon reboot the nook app still failed to recognize my sdcard and the file explorer apps no longer worked?! I have to power off and then delete the extracted file and reboot for the rest of the file explorers to work. I am using root explorer to process these steps.

You were right, I was looking in another HD+ section. I have followed the above procedures and installed the NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap.zip w/o incident or issues. However the Nook app still does not recognize the ext.sdcard contents. I have epub files in these two locations on the extsdcard:

/My Files/Books/ and in /Nook/MyDocuments/ - my last question are these the correct locations?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That is still the wrong one. It should say verygreen CM10.1 on emmc (the last zip on the list.) The one you used is for stock and will not work right. To fix it, go to /data/local/userinit.d and delete the old swap file. Then flash the correct one.

Won't Boot after CM10.1 Install

I followed this procedure to install CM10.1 (cm-10.1-20130801-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip) into eMMC on my Nook HD+.

Everything seemed to work correctly: after the reboot, CM10.1 started, I set up my Google account, and restored my apps

from a Titanium backup.

Everything was great until I shut down the tablet. When I restarted it, the CyanogenMod "rotating circle" logo was displayed,

but it was off-center, oval instead of a circle, and partially off-screen. That's as far as I get; the tablet shows the logo, but doesn't boot.

Can someone tell me what I might have done wrong? What would you suggest I do to fix this?

Thanks,

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Aaron Camp:
I get that sometimes and it does continue to boot. (screen re-orientates itself so to speak).

I also get another issue about 50% of the time on a boot. It will go to the CM circle (centered correctly) and sit there forever. So far, every time that happens, I just go into CWM and clear the Cache and reboot. Reboot takes a little longer (it has to rebuild the app list) but always works. Would love to know what is causing the issue, but its pretty minor so I live with it.

Awesome guide!

Thanks to all who was involved in setting up this guide. This was my first root and it went pretty well. I paid a local cell phone guy $20 to root my Nook Color for me as I didn't feel comfortable with the process, but this thread made it pretty much fool proof.

I did have one issue though. I set up the root and got as far as getting the Cyanogenmod logo, but when I tried to get the Nook to enable booting into recovery it kept giving me the stock reboot screen, asking if I wanted to do a factory reset. I kept telling it "no" but eventually it just went ahead and reset so I had to go through the whole process again. But everything went fine the second time. I've had the HD+ rooted for about a week now and I love it.

Installing CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies

I hope its okay to use a 16gb microSD card? I only seem to have a 16GB Sandisk Class 4.

Also, can I use Verygreen's image - emmc-cwm-early2.1.img instead of NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13)? And follow the steps outlined here? Thanks for the replies.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] artesea:
Yes to both, in theory a microSD card large enough should work. That said some people are having issues with some cards (size and brand varies from person to person), so you might find you need to try another to get it to work.

The advantage of the emmc-cwm file is that it's only a 1GB image so fits nicely on a 2GB microSD card.

Yes you can. But the SD will only have 1GB of space on it instead of 4GB. That is why e.mote selected mine instead of verygreen's version.
