I used ROM Manager to launch CWM Backup and Restore per Post #1 to backup my current CWM install, before upgrading to 10.2.1. It spent a whole lot of time doing something (got the progress bars for it showing it was backing everything up), but when I checked my SD card there was no 'clockworkmod' folder. There was one on the HD+ internal storage, but it has only three very small files. Can't find where it made the backup. Or did it?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You have me a little confused by talking about ROM Manager and progress bars on CWM backup. To my knowledge ROM Manager is not mentioned in the OP and CWM does not show progress bars on backup. Were you using TWRP?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] tonyp22:
I used ROM Manager to launch CWM. I actually just found out where the backup was created. It was placed in /mnt/shell/emulated. Weird.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
/mnt/shell/emulated is the internal emulated sdcard that CWM sees. It is the same as /data/media. CM has an emulated sdcard also but it is at /mnt/shell/emulated/0 (/data/media/0) so you have a hard time seeing the CWM sdcard from the CM sdcard.

My HD running 10.1.3 has started freezing and boot looping. Going to Reinstall. Should I do a factory reset first? Since I am having problems I'm thinking I should.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I think so, especially since you said you let apps update themselves. That will clear out updates. Then set Play Store to not automatically update.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
Do you recommend to manually update apps one at a time and open them to verify they don't cause problems? Or do you just never update apps?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
In your case since you have issues I would update one at a time to verify no issues. Personally I never allow automatic updates for just that reason. I decide app by app which gets updated as the update is announced.

I installed CM 10.2 on my Nook HD and it seemed fine initially but now if I try to play a game or listen to radio it immediately shuts down regardless of have at least half battery life.

I attached a catlog after rebooting which will hopefully help, thanks.

You are best posting that in the CM10.2 thread. I don't run CM10.2 and this is just installation instructions.

Nook HD won't complete factory reset

My HD running 10.1.3 stable started freezing and rebooting a couple days ago. It was usable for a while but got to the point where it would freeze as soon as it finished booting. I took my bootable SD card, booted into CWM and did a factory reset. I got this on the screen:

...wiping data...

formatting /data...

formatting /cache...

Two or 3 minutes after "formatting /cache..." appeared, it rebooted into Cyanoboot and stuck on the spinning Cyanogenmod logo. It did not boot in CWM even though the SD card was still inserted. I powered it down again and it again booted into CWM and gave the following error messages:

E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Tried the factory reset again with the same result. Then I tried to install everything again. It installed CWM but spontaneously rebooted during the CM install and again booted into Cyanoboot and stuck on the spinning Cyanogenmod logo.

I don't know what to do at this point since it can't seem to complete the factory reset.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Those can't mount cache error messages are because you successfully formatted /cache and all those things were gone. It sounds like factory reset was successful. What version of CWM were you using and what ROM were you trying to flash?

I suggest you use my 6036 CWM and flash a plain stock zip from item 6 in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. That should repair any issues you have and hopefully you can then flash CM10.1.3 again.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I was using 6027 CWM. I will try 6036 and the plain stock zip and see what happens. Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
6027 is ok. I forgot you had an HD.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I restored the stock ROM per your instructions and decided to install 10.2.1 instead of 10.1.3 so I will be on the same version as my wife's HD+. Everything went smoothly and it's now downloading my apps. Maybe next time it gets screwed up I'll remember how to fix it and won't have to ask the same questions again! ;)

Next day update: it froze today and spontaneously rebooted and it now boot-looping. I think I have a hardware problem. :(
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Blergatron9000:
conversion problems

Ok so i am pretty sure that i completely deleted my nook hd's Rom when it reboots it just says nook and then goes blank after a bit and then says nook again. So my question is how do i turn this into a full android tablet as i am not able to load hummingbird onto the nook anymore

thank you in advance for any help you can provide
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
What did you try so far? Did you follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] :
If you're able to get into recovery:

Download a ROM and GApps for your Nook on another device with micro SD card slot. On the device you downloaded the files on, move the files to an SD card. Insert SD card with ROM and GApps into dead Nook. Factory reset, then flash the two files. Make sure to DOWNLOAD A ROM THAT WORKS WITH THE CURRENT RECOVERY INSTALLED ON YOUR NOOK, or you'll have to repeat the process.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ranger7:
Since "Dummies" is in the title, this thread is for me.

Have a BASIC problem.

Used SDFormatter to do a full format on a PNY 4GB uSDHC card (a few mins). Windows shows FAT32 3.89GB

Used Win32DiskImager to write an ovation boot image file (about 10 mins). Windows now shows RAW.

That doesn't seem to be right. Should I try finding an older Sandisk class 2 or 4 card? I'm using a Zenbook which has a SD slot. Would getting a USB/SD adapter be better?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Don't worry about what windows says it is. Just try booting it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ranger7:
Thank you for your reply.

I have just spent an hour learning that a .img file is not the same as a .iso file. And Win32 Disk Imager is not about the same as Imgburn.

I think I might not be using the Imager right. The ovation file I have, cm-10.2.1-ovation.zip after unzipping, is:

06/28/2014 05:19 PM <DIR> 476,026 META-INF

02/28/2008 06:33 PM 5,226,496 boot.img

02/28/2008 06:33 PM 8,773 file_contexts

06/28/2014 05:19 PM <DIR> 299,339,556 system

Do I point at the boot.img file? And it must be in the unzipped directory with the other ovation files?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
That file stays zipped and is installed using CWM.

You need the bookable image to put on the SD card.

Go back to the 1st post in the thread and follow the steps listed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] bonline:
Hi - I am currently running10.2.1-hummingbird on my Nook HD. The automatic update says there are two updates available - CM-11-20140540SNAPSHOT-M6 and M4. I tried installing M6 version automatically and I get the error message - (no such file or directory) installation aborted. What should I do to update to the latest and greatest Android OS for the Nook. Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
You should look and see what CM11 is going to do for you. I installed it and went back to 10.2.1. It seemed like many Trebuchet customization options were missing.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You cannot update to CM11 from here. You must go to the CM11 thread and follow the directions there.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Trebuchet has been corrected. You can now change the row and column settings on the desktop pages.

Problem

I apologize if this has already been covered. With 130+ pages in this thread it's a little difficult to read each page to see if a solution has already been presented.

I used this thread to root my Nook HD back in December, haven't had a single issue. Recently we got one for my wife and I followed the same steps, used the same files, etc.. Hers worked fine for a few days, then wouldn't get past the lock screen (we would swipe the lock icon, but the device would remain locked). Now we can't get past CWM Recovery.

I've told it to "reboot system now" countless times, just comes back to CWM Recovery. I've restored the original backup, still goes back to CWM Recovery. I wiped all of the data and reinstalled all of the files in the proper order and it worked fine for a few days but now I'm stuck on the CWM Recovery screen again.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You need to restore stock by going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flashing the plain stock zip from item 6. Follow that with a factory reset and it should boot again. Then you can start over again with the guide here.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
He shouldn't need to go all the way back something seems to get stuck and once you break the loop it boots normal. Happened to me twice and neither time did I need to restore to stock. Seems to be a CM 11 issue.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Well he wasn't running CM11. Yes, you need to reset the flag in /bootdata. But just rerunning CWM does not always do it. And restoring to stock almost always does.

And you will note that he has booted to CWM several times and it has not reset the flag, which is why I did not recommend he try it again.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] mjeffries8124:
Thanks for the replies. Just for ****s-n-gigs I pulled the SD card out and rebooted. It booted to the stock nook like the day we bought it.

F it, it's the wife's and she won't know any different. Cyanogenmod for me, the stock "i'm going to throw Barnes and Noble in your face every chance I get" OS for her. If the problems come back then I'll follow the suggestions here.

Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Since she is happy with stock, you might as well leave it. One thing you might consider with hers is to flash the Enable Unknown Sources zip from my CWM thread. It will then allow apps that don't come from the Play Store to be installed.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I just updated this thread to include an up to date guide for installing CM11 for dummies. It includes as attachments the required files for easily making a CM11 compatible CWM boot SD and direct links to the required CM and gapps files. The guide is at post seven of this thread and is linked in the OP.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Emberage:
Hi leapinlar, I am very new to all this.... I have just purchased a NOOK HD+ and have just tried to follow this guide, I've tried a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 and a Transcend 32GB Class 10 micro SD card..... I've followed all steps but when i insert the micro sd card and turn the Nook HD+ on, it just wont boot to the micro SD card, it just boots as normal.

I've noticed that this guide differs from the normal version and doesn't include the "Win32DiskImager" part, to make the micro sd card bootable? Is this why? I have made the sd card active, done all other steps and tried both micro sd cards but it will not boot. Please advise what i may be doing wrong?

Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] :
I'd just like to thank you for writing all these guides, and for your CWM tools. Today I bricked and unbricked my HD+. Your bootable SD card TWRP build (don't know how to word that lol) saved my Nook from grave. Thanks for all your hard work
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It uses a new procedure where you do not need win32diskimager. You said you made the card active. Did you copy the 5 files to the SD? Did you use the version of files for the HD+? Say more than just saying you followed all the steps so I can tell if you made a mistake.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Emberage:
My apologies, here is a list of what i did in order:

1. Downloaded - NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6046-for-emmc-BOOTFILES-rev0-(07.13.14).rar

2. Downloaded - NookHDplus-CWM-6046-for-internal-memory-rev0-(07-13-14).zip

3. Downloaded - (latest snapshot, which i assume is correct?) - cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-ovation.zip

4. Downloaded - pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140426a-signed.zip

5. Formatted Micro SD to Fat32.

6. Made Partition Active using Multi-Tool Parition Wizard

7. Extracted the "BOOTFILES" rar (i assume this is the same as Unarchive?)

8. Copied and Pasted - the 5 extracted files to the Micro SD Card.

9. Copied and Pasted - NookHDplus-CWM-6046-for-internal-memory-rev0-(07-13-14).zip - To Micro SD Card

10. Copied and Pasted - cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-ovation.zip - To Micro SD Card

11. Copied and Pasted - pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.2-20140426a-signed.zip - To Micro SD Card

12. Powered Off my Nook HD+ (i have used it for a few days and installed various things)

13. Inserted Micro SD card

14. Powered On - This Brings up the Nook logo then loads as normal

This has been tried on both the SD cards i own. Please help. Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I can't see that you have done anything wrong. I suggest you try one more time and format again. I assume you used SDFormatter to do the formatting. You did not say. This time copy the file MLO first before the other 4. Then try booting that. Report back.

And yes, extracting and unarchiving mean the same thing.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Emberage:
Just did as u suggested and it worked! i am now following the rest of the instructions. I guess it had something to do with the the MLO file being first. Oh...... As i typed this it just came up with "Error while making a backup image of /data!" I've tried once more but no luck, i guess i should turn it off and on again? Would this have something to do with the fact ive installed various apps like youtube / games ect or not? any ideas? Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Usually that error means you ran out of room on the SD. But your SDs were both large and you should not have run out of room. That is supposed to be one of the advantages of the new procedure in that it makes your entire SD available instead of just 1GB or 4GB per the old procedure. And having apps installed should not have had much effect.

I also updated my instructions, thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] :
All right, I know this has probably been covered a MILLION times before, and I actually recall seeing it discussed in a post earlier today, but what's up with TWRP 2.7.1.0.? My rom runs fine until I reboot to recovery. If I boot to recovery, I can no longer reboot to my CM11, every reboot leads to recovery. I read something earlier today about a certain partition getting corrupted or something. I can't remember if it was even in this thread, but I think someone is this thread can help me.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
I know very little about TWRP and nothing about 2710. But every recovery is supposed to reset a flag in /bootdata when it exits. If it does not successfully reset that flag then the system will always reboot to recovery. So it sounds like that TWRP is not reseting the flag. A possible solution is to make a bootable recovery SD that is uses an older recovery. Boot to that and just immediately exit. When it exits, it should reset the flag. Then you can remove the SD and it should boot to your ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] :
OK thanks! Just used one of your sd card recoveries today. (second time having bootloops ugh..) Luckily, I still have my TWRP 2.6.0.0 recovery sdcard handy:D

[Nook HD, HD+ General] volpo222:
Leapinlar,

I just wanted to say thanks for the instructions. I moved up from a Nook Colour (your instructions were great there too) to an HD+ and your instructions were easy to follow and worked first time. I'm loving the HD+. What an improvement from the NC. KitKat really shines on this device and is quite fast.

Just one question about the backups made with the bootloader (CMW?): How can I tell when they were actually made? I cannot find my original backup of the HD+ 'before'. If I cannot find it is the original HD+ rom available?

Thanks again for making it so easy!

V
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The backup made by the recovery (CWM) is located at /clockworkmod/backups on your external SD. And yes, I have links to plain stock zips on my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature, item 6.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] volpo222:
Thank you, that is great.

I found the backups. Can I copy them off of the card? How can I tell when they were created? I created a backup at 8:30am that had the right date but a time stamp of about 4 hours later.

One more dumb KitKat question:

The area at the bottom of the screen contains icons that have no labels. Can I turn on those labels? I've looked everywhere and cannot find the switch.

Thanks again.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The time zone for CWM is 4 hours off.

And I don't know the answer to the kitkat question. Best to ask in a kitkat thread.

Hello, I have had CM since 10.2 in my Nook HD, but when I recently upgraded to CM11, a bit space from the outside to inside of the lateral borders does not respond. When it is in landscape mode, I can not push the back or home button, neither the status bar; and when it is in portrait mode, I can not write letter "a" nor "p" for example. Does it happen to anyone more? Anything to correct this? I have done all the wipes neccesaries.

Also when I have tried installing CM 10.2 again, it has the same problem...

It is veeery anoying :crying:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Sounds like a hardware problem. I don't have the issue on CM11.

The fact that going back to CM10.2 doesn't clear it up really points to hardware.

I'm currently running cm-10.1.3 on a Nook HD (runs great), I occasionally get notified of an available update to cm-10.2.1.

Would I lose apps/settings?

Or should I jump to cm-11?

Thanks for any advice.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
In my option, no. I love CM10.1.3 and if it runs great, don't change.

Update question

Hey guys,

Firstly apologies if this has been asked before but I have looked through the majority of pages without any success.

I'm a complete novice at these things so sorry in advance!

I recently bought a Nook HD+ and followed the instructions and got CM10.2 up and running fine.

I want to update to CM11 because I noticed some bugs with my Nook (maybe to do with showbox.apk freezing etc?)

So what are the steps to do an Update from CM10.2 to CM11? Can I use the internal update feature?

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
First post points to the CM11 guide.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Figster07:
Hi,

Yes - but can I just follow it and install on top of CM10.2?

Or do i need to take the Nook back to stock and then follow the CM11 guide?

Cheers
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You do not need to take it to stock first. But it would be good to wipe with CWM before installing CM11. Do a factory reset and go to mounts and storage and wipe /system. Do this before flashing the zips. And be sure to use the new CWM bootable SD from the CM11 post.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] BJGunner:
how to format SD card

May sound like a dumb question but how to format the SD in the tablet? I can't find that option in CM 10.1. The only way I can do it is booting into recover mode and format it in CWM. But the card is formatted into FAT32. Which leads to another problem I am having.

I want to format my card into exFAT and from what I read the Stock Rom can do it (but obviously I am on a different Rom). The SD formatter only formats into FAT32 as well. So the windows utility is the only option?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fgarvin:
Not sure about formating options other than windows (noob here).

You are going to need this Mod - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155363 , as cm 10.1 doesn't natively support exFat.

I think I made a mistake in installing Cyanogen. After installing the zip and rebooting, CWM prompted something along the lines of "Do you want to disable flash recovery in order to prevent the device from flashing to stock". I selected yes. Now when I reboot, I get the nook splash screen for a few seconds, then what looks like a power cycle and back to the nook splash screen. This happens repeatedly and I never see a splash screen related to Cyanogen attempting to boot.

I tried rebooting with the SD card and I can access CWM, but when I factory wipe and reinstall the zip, I don't see the same prompt for flash recovery that I saw the first time and I get the same behavior on reboot.

- Should I have selected "no" during the prompt for the first reboot?

- How do I fix this through CWM?

I flashed the most recent CM file: cm-10.1-20130626-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip

EDIT: I solved the issue by re-downloading CM. I must have had a bad download.

I've managed to install CM in a few minutes

one quick question though, even it is stated in the guide that I need SDcard whenever I want to backup, but still I proceeded doing the backup on internal storage, so it seems it went through and I can see the backup zip on restore tab in CWM. But when on OS, where can I see the backup files I did? Normally(on other device) I can see it on internal storage tab "clockworkmod" but on this device, I can't seem to find it :confused: Thanks in advance for any inputs.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] dawgpoundfan:
Feel like an idiot, but I can't get Win32DiskImager to format card

Install & run Win32DiskImager. Use it to write the 4GB image to SD card. Wait until done.

When I run this and eject the card and and try to remount it Windows I need to format the disk - back to square one

I'm sure this is an easy fix sorry for the time wasted. Feel silly I have been able to root Kindle Fires to Cyanogen as well as multiple phones but they never deal with booting from an SD card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] e.mote:
>I can't seem to boot from the SD card.

Once CWM is installed into the Nook, you can boot from Nook (via reboot-to-recovery) and just use a regular FAT32-formatted (non-bootable) SD card.

CWM backup location: It's in the FAQ in the 2nd post. With CM's default file manager, you'd have to raise your access level in its Settings. Most other file mgrs can navigate outside of local user storage folder. You don't need a SD card to back up, just that internal storage is limited, and can be more useful than for storing backups (which can be offlined to SD card).

Imaging failure: Writing & booting the SD card are the two most common issues. Suggest trying a different card or a different reader/adapter. Also, different USB port, PC, etc.
