As far as I know, reboots do happen (on all my nooks), but on recent builds its only 1-2 soft reboots per day, and thwy take like 5seconds to get back to lockscreen so not that big of a deal...

Hopefully cyanogen is gwtting the error reports out and fix will happen soon

>How do you install [via CM internal update]?

Tap on an update to see its changelog, and whether the changes benefit you. If yes, tap on the download button to download. If you want to be safe, do an image backup via CWM before then, as Bad Things(tm) can happen when updating.

Once downloaded, you'll be prompted to allow the auto-update to go forward. A reboot later, it's done (hopefully).

As a note, these "dirty" (aka in-place) updates are convenient, but can also cause unexpected problems. If that happens, either restore from a backup, or do a clean install.

I've updated the guide to include these above.

How to revert back to stock OS and recovery

Hi Gurus,

Thanks so much awesome details here. I got a new NOOK HD+ (stock OS 2.1) and will be trying CM10.1 today. I am also a newbie to android and learning my ways around. I see there a way to backup the Stock OS using CWM. The stupid question is how do I revert back to stock OS and stock recovery (everything stock) after this native install so I can return the tablet if I need to claim warranty,

Thanks again!

Anx
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You can restore stock ROM by restoring your backup. But to get stock recovery back you need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my stock recovery zip from item 5.

OK. Thanks!!

when I tap on a nightly update I dont see a changelog, it just attempts to download the file. where is the changelogs? thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
when you see the available nightlies, click on the name, not the download button.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Holysmoke99:
at this page? http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ovation

when I click the name there my IDM just tries to dl file.

are you guys seeing this on the tablet or at that webpage?

well obviously we are talking about downloading the latest nightly from the nook, cm (not the browser)

go to settings, about tablet, cm updates, and tap on latest nightly name to see the changelog

changing build.prop

I've been searching around with no luck so far for a set of specific instructions on exactly what to change your build.prop to, in order to get ahold of the Nook app in the bookstore. I can adb pull my build prop, change it, push it back just fine, but I don't know *what* to change. Any pointers?

Posting in this thread because I figure the answer might be useful to other people who have followed the instructions in the OP, as I have...

Awesome work Gurus

I am on the 20130812 nightly and like it well so far. Thanks all who work so hard to help us newbies!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] darien87:
If we're already on the 20130801 Unofficial version, is there a reason to go to the official version?

If so, can you just flash the zip file for the official version only or do you have to do the whole install process over again, (gapps, etc.)?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Sherip:
Flashing the latest official zip file and wiping cache worked for me on 10.1 (which I have on emmc).

CM 10.1 problem

After following the step by step instructions with no apparent problem, right after boot up I get the error message "Unfortunately, TalkBack has stopped." Then LOCK UP. I started over several times, reformatting the SD card, burning the image (1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.eyeballer.img) using the last stable build (cm-10.1.2-encore.zip) then the latest nightly. Nothing makes any difference, I get the exact error message no matter what.

Ideas?

Thank you all for all of your hard work, I appreciate it even though I'm without my tablet now ;)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Sherip:
This is the wrong forum for eyeballer image and encore builds, good luck tho! I have a Nook Color running eyeballer and 10.1, I'd suggest to try a recent nightly instead of the supposedly stable build.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM 10.2 from SD card
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
just install nook app on your phone, and attach it to an email or use some "share my apps" app...

if you are so keen on messing with build prop, then you will need to modify model, name, and manufacturer (not sure if that one is needed)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] edheil:
sadly, the google play store is being grumpy and erroring out when I try to install it on my phone. :( I'll hope it gets better and try another day, I guess....

EDIT: Can a mod delete this.. Sorry. I'll move the tabletui stuff to the proper thread.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Holysmoke99:
I was following the guide in this thread that said update by wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, then installing zip.

Now the guide says update on the tablet, but that gives no option to wipe any cache.

what are you all doing to update? wiping cache or just updating on tablet?

Nightly-Ovation Updates

I'm a newbie too. I was able to install CM 10.1 without any issues. I remember seeing the instructions on how to install the nightly. Can you point me where I can find the instructions? Any help would be great. Thank you.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sibot:
I'm a newbie to the rooting community. Since CM officially started supporting HD+ and has been releasing "nightly" versions, which, as someone earlier stated are literally nightly releases, does it mean the current 2013-08-14 release is not the final one and we can expect more in the coming days?

Also, do the new releases mean more stablitity or fixed glitches? If so, by when can we expect a stable and reliable ROM from CM?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
my guess is, it will be months until stable cm release, but nighlies are usually stable enough for daily use
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sibot:
So is there going to be a nightly release to the CM for the coming time?

Is it better to install the latest unofficial ROM or the latest official CM ROM?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
really? there is new nightly release everyday... go to getcm and look for ovation builds.

regarding second question, there wont be official cm rom for a while, so yeah it is better to install the latest nightly
[Nook HD, HD+ General] sibot:
Sorry for not phrasing the first question properly, I meant to ask that with every nightly release, are there some bugs which are fixed? For example, say if I were to install today's release, would tomorrow's release have any significant updates that would make an upgrade inevitable? Or are the nightly releases stable enough for daily usage, that I can deter from updating for a few months to come?

I don't want to be caught in a trend of installing a new ROM every second day.

Thanks for all the help!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
nightlies are usually stable enough for a daily driver, but you might encounter some bugs here and there. There is a changelog with each nightly before downloading so you can check if its something that matters to you, otherwise you can stick with nightly for months if you like (although its good idea to flash new nightly at least once a month). Understand that, flashing updates is not like installing completely new rom. It takes only few minutes and you keep all your apps with their data intact:)

Android Keyboard keeps crashing on Nook HD+

I have tried to install cyanogen mod on my Nook HD+ several times, but although the installation is successful and the device boots into Cyanogen, every time the keyboard app kept crashing (flashing the message "Unfortunately, Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped").

I have tried emmc installation as described in the OP with cm-10.1-20130812-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip; I have also tried the SD installation as described here using the latest SD card image with gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and without gapps.

The keyboard keeps crashing for all of these combinations, even with cyanogen installed to the SD card and without gapps.

I have a Nook HD+ 32Gb bought in May 2013.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
probably not wiping, or using correct gapps package

Nightly-Ovation Updates

I'm a newbie. I'm sorry if this has been asked before. How do you flash the nightly updates? I though I saw instructions here before, but can't find it. Thanks again.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] SandTrout:
I have followed the instructions in the OP exactly, so I did wipe /data after booting CWM. Or should I also do a factory hard/soft reset using the stock firmware before installing CM?

Again, I used the version recommended in the OP. Supposing that I try an EMMC installation again with the latest nightly (20030815), which version should I use?

And neither should matter for a pure SD installation without gapps, or should it?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] magicrevolver:
me too

Yeah I'm getting this too, I followed the instructions and am getting the keyboard error message also. Tried using another more recent Gapps & now it says "Unfortunately google services framework has stopped".

I'm assuming you mean Win32DiskImager. Click the 'folder' button next to the 'Image File' input box to browse and locate the needed image file.

Note to all: New CM 10.1 builds are now built weekly, while CM 10.2's are nightly. Since CM's internal update only shows the latest 3 builds, only 10.2 nightlies may be shown. Simply wait a few days for the next 10.1 weekly to show up.

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks to all involved in writing the guides and developing the mods. I installed CM 10.1 last night, using a Lexar 4gb microSD without a hitch, and everything is still running great after 16 hours. This mod is much nicer than the B&N tweaked OS. The only issue I have right now is trying to find the 2gb microSD I plugged into the expansion port using File Manager. I thought I saw a reference to external SD card issues somewhere in the thread, so I will have to search that out.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
The 2GB card is under ext_sdcard in file manager. You have to put the CM file manager in root mode to see it. Go to file manager settings to enable it.

boot animation/splash screen

Hey guys first off, thanks for all the hard work porting over for all of us, second, I'm having trouble with the damaged nook splash screen and the off center cm boot animation. I have tried swapping out the animation with another, but it was off center aswell. Is there anyway to fix it? I would also like to know if it possible to flash a new nook splash screen or any alternative.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
nook splash screen off center? first time I hear that. The CM bootanimation (or any other bootanimation for that matter) will be distorted until someone with some skills can look into the problem, although it is a low priority issue so it will probably take a while... if it pains you so much, just replace jpegs from animation with 1 black filled jpeg, then you will get nothing until cm boots up.

the nook splash screen is tied with the bootloader as far as I know, so it would take much more tinkering to get that replaced.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ipeedalil:
Thanks for the quick reply, and no the nook splash isn't off center is has some distortion or pixelation going from the top right corner all the way down the screen, but being that you said its tied to the bootloader, there probabley isnt any way that i could fix it
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
the bootloader splash screen should be fine in the center (the one that says "nook"). The cyanogenmod bootanimation is the one that's screwed up, but could be fixed by someone with the knowledge. in the meantime, you can use blank bootanimation and you wont see any distortions, but you will have to replace bootanimation every time you flash new nightly
[Nook HD, HD+ General] buzzwindrip:
Thanks leapinlar, that took care of it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] banditsw:
Thanks for the clarification. I have been experiencing the issue as well. Just wondering though, why does it work after opening and closing 2x versus just 1x?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] FirePsych:
Thank You!

Had my HD+ rooted within 24 hours of buying it.

Actually downloaded all the files in the OP before buying my HD+ and unzipped and installed what was appropriate.

I rooted my Thunderbolt and have been flashing for almost two years, so I was pretty familiar with the process.

As a matter of fact, this was easier than rooting my Tbolt.

Been running great.

I did notice the off center CM boot animation, but it seems to center itself.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] CoachTabe:
Hey guys,

Noob here, be gentle :) I did search but didn't find an answer.

The dummies guide from this thread says to install CM10.1 and, even as recently as a couple days ago, people were saying to stay away from 10.2 as being unstable. However, when I go to the CM downloads site, all I find for my Nook HD+ are the 10.2 nightlies. Anybody got a good link for 10.1 or should I just install 10.2 (and, if so, how does that install differ from what's listed in the guide at the start of this thread)?

Thanks,

Tabe

[Nook HD, HD+ General] alazar758:
Nevermind. I made a stupid error that no one else will make
[Nook HD, HD+ General] CoachTabe:
Two questions:

1) On the CM downloads page, I don't see any emmc files - just 10.2 files without the emmc extension. I take that to mean that they boot from the SD card*. Is that correct? Can somebody link me to a 10.1 or 10.2 emmc file?

2) Watching a video on Youtube, the guy did the "wipe user data" step LAST, after installing the 3 zip files, where this guide has that step done first. Does it make a difference?

* - After following the guide in the OP of this thread, when I rebooted, my Nook came up as a factory stock Nook, not CM. Obviously I did something wrong (my guess is that the CM I downloaded was for booting off SD card and didn't actually get installed into emmc but I don't know).

Any ideas on any of this stuff guys?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] DeathEvil:
emmc are the only official nightlies. the sd card are not officially maintained, and are highly experimental
[Nook HD, HD+ General] CoachTabe:
I'm not sure if that answers my question or not. I went to the download link listed in the OP of this thread and all I saw was four nightly builds, none of which had emmc in their names.

Are the files there OK? Will they install into the emmc?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fgarvin:
They are emmc.

Load bootable card with CWM recovery, latest nightly, and updated gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip (for 10.2), and continue with instructions.

Note: HD+ is somtimes finicky about booting from card, just keep trying.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] CoachTabe:
Thanks...

Thanks guys. Looks like I had a couple of issues going on, mainly corrupted downloaded zip files that I didn't realize were bad. I also would have had the wrong version of Google Apps without the last response. All that's fixed now and my Nook is now running pure Android. So thanks!

10.1 weeklies are being pushed off by 10.2 nightlies. Wait a couple of days for the next 10.1 weekly to show up. Unfortunately CM automated builds aren't under our control.

>Whenever I write the image to the SD card, I can never access it. Instead, I get prompted with "you need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it."

If you're using a regular SD-card adapter, make sure the adapter isn't write-protected.

Once image is written to card, you may need to remove & reinsert card for the imaged files to be seen.

Else, try the process on a different PC.

>went to 'restore' and selected the saved zip file but it gave error - "Installation Aborted".

Unzip the zip file to the sdcard. Files should be in correct path, starting with /clockworkmod from root directory. IIRC this has been covered earlier in this thread. Scan for specifics.

Awesomeness

Got my Nook HD+ up and running with little trouble. I've done lots of modding to prior devices so CWM and I are good friends. Had to re-download CM as I got an aborted install message when flashing the first time, but no worries on the second try. The 8/20 CM 10.2 nightly seems very stable and most apps are smooth and snappy. Trebuchet was hiccuping with force closes but I got Apex launcher on there and it's working just fine. Couldn't be happier or more grateful to everyone involved in setting up this thread.

Remove card from slot. Insert card into a reader in your PC. Copy the 'clockworkmod'

I want to change from using an SD card with CM10.2 to installing 10.3 emmc software onto the root of my Nook HD+.

As a first step I have followed your instructions and made a back up using my bootable SD card with CM10.2 on it. In fact I have made 2. They both show when I select restore - dated 22/08/2013. However I cannot see them in File Manager (running the NOOK HD+ using my SD card as a bootable card with CM10.2 on it) - I did find a clockworkmod folder under storage/emulated/legacy but it was dated June 2013 and had nothing in it. Nor can I see the folder clockworkmod when I put my sd card into a reader on my pc ( I have also tried my Macbook but again cannot see the folder).

I would be most grateful if you can advise what I am doing wrong. How do I make the backup files visible so I can copy them to my pc and rename them.

Secondly, please confirm when I did the backup, I backed up the NOOK HD+ rom not my SD card which I am currently using to run Nook HD+ on CM10.2 ( during the process it said it could not access external sd)

Thank you for making my Nook HD+ a tablet

I have been utilizing XDA forums for years to solve numerous questions/problems with the tablets I have owned, and thought it was finally time to register and say thanks to all the developers. This Nook is my 4th tablet, 1 Cruz and 2 chinese knockoffs, but you have turned a really good piece of equipment into an even greater tablet.

I just installed CM 10.2 - 8/21 nightly w/gapps and what a difference over the stock Nook, it is running perfectly. I am sure that there are few bugs to work out but who can complain with such a vast improvement over stock performance.

Thanks to verygreen and all others that took the time to develop the rom for this tablet. :good:

[Nook HD, HD+ General] jgaiser99:
I upgraded my HD+ to CM10.1 and have been using it for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I decided it was time to do a baseline backup and following directions in this thread, I turned on Developer Options and tried to reboot into recovery.

HD+ crashed. Long power button push rebooted back into CM10.1. Tried again and once again the HD+ crashed. I'm now of the opinion that I *didn't* install the CWM recovery image.

Am I screwed? Is there anyway to check if CWM is installed? Is there anyway of installing CWM after the fact? I really don't want to reinstall the OS. I did use the SD boot card that I used to install and made a backup of the installed system. Hoping that if I have to reinstall, I, at least, have a good backup.
