OK, I'm a REAL dummy,

For a Nook HD, on a freshly formatted FAT32, Active 32 GB SDCard, I copied the 5 Boot files from NookHD-bootable-CWM-6046-for-emmc-BOOTFILES-rev0-(07.13.14).rar, MLO first. Then I copied

NookHD-CWM-6046-for-internal-memory-rev0-(07-13-14).zip

cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-hummingbird.zip

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

and gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip (pa_gapps... kept giving me incompatible Android ROM error on install). Inserted the SDCard in Nook and booted to menu OK. Did a backup, the Wipe/Reset, and Install From Zip the CWM, cm, pa_gapps (got errors so used gapps-kk) and all seemed to go well. Removed the card and got back to main and did a reboot. At this point two other options presented themselves, "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?", and, "Root access is missing. Root device?". Wasn't sure what to do so, of course, I said yes to both. Upon reboot the Nook goes into a continuous loop of rebooting to the Nook splash. Lather, rinse repeat saying no to the final two prompts. Same result.

Help greatly appreciated as I am losing my hair rapidly.

Heave you tried to reboot to recovery? If that works you can then try to reinstall the rom and gapps

Can I revert to 10.2.1 from CM11M12? Is there anything special I have to do or just follow the normal flashing process? FWIW, after 6 months on CM11M12, it's just to "quirky" (I hate to use the term buggy). Since CM11 in unlikely ever to see another M release, I'm going back to JB. Never really saw any benefits to KK anyway.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
When going backward you must wipe data. You can backup with TB and restore your installed apps with that.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] dax702:
I copied the 5 files as instructed to the card, put it in the nook, and it keeps booting to the stock Nook. I know the card is fine, because earlier I was able to use a different method for CWM, however, I could not get ADB working to copy the rom and google apps files. So then I found this method which does not require me to write an .img file to the sd card. But how to get this thing to boot to CWM?

Edit, nevermind, I saw what I did wrong. I did not have the partition set to Active. As soon as I did that, it booted first time to the sd card.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
After contemplating going back to 10.2.1 or forward to 12.1, I'm thinking I should try the latest CM11 nightly first (I am running CM11M12). Can I flash that without reflashing Gapps? I do have to flash the matching recovery though, right?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You should not have to update gapps as long as you stay on cm11. I don't think you need to update the recovery either.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
I downloaded the CM11 11/22 nightly to internal storage and flashed it from there. Haven't tried all my apps yet but it booted up OK and went through the optimizing apps process without a hitch. The 5 or 6 apps I pulled up worked as expected. It seems a little zippier but that could be my imagination. So far, so good!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
Been using the 11/22 nightly for 5 days now and it's a definite improvement (for me) over CM11 M12. It does not seem to have the multi-second lag opening some apps like M12 did. Unlike M12, when I touch an input field, the keyboard pops up right away. I also don't see the screen go dim for several seconds when I go back to the home screen. It did not fix the issue I have that touching the Nook button does not wake it up from sleep. Overall it was a worthwhile update. Plus I flashed it right over M12 (after booting into CWM) and did not have to wipe data or cache or reload Gapps. If you're not happy with M12 and aren't ready to take the plunge with CM12 or CM13, it's worth a shot.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Have you checked the current setting for this button under "Settings->Buttons"?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
It is set to wake up device.

Had the first hiccup with 11/22 nightly today. Was launching a YouTube video from within an app and the screen went crazy and froze. Had to power down. I have run the YouTube app before without a problem so I'm going to chalk it up as a glitch.

Problems with updating my NOOK HD+

Hi everybody,

I'm using a NOOK HD+ currently with CM V10. I want to update to CM Version 11.

Unfortunately I made deleted V10 without creating a backup, therefore I cannot use my NOOK at the moment.

I dowloaded the V11 (cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-ovation) and tried to "install from SD card" within my CWM. I got the error "Status 7". I learned that before I can install CM V11 I have to update the CWM first. Therefore I downloaded a CWM (NookHD-CWM-6046-for-internal-memory-rev0-(07-13-14)) but I also got the error "Status 7" when I tried to install the latest CWM.

When I start my device, always the old version of CWM appears (v 6.0.3.2) and I think this is the problem because this version cannot handle the latest zip files to install ?!

What can I do? I created a bootable SD card as explained in this forum.

Thank you in advance!

Iggy
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
[MENTION=7213997]IggyP[/MENTION], first you need the HDplus version of CWM from post. #7.

I recommend you make bookable SD card with the correct version of CWM too, as detailed in post #7.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] IggyP:
Dear STDog, thanks.

I already made a bootable SD card as described in #7 but when I start my NOOK I always come to the old CWM. From this old CWM version I cannot install the latest CWM or CM because of "Status 7" error.

When I boot my NOOK is it correct that I come to the old CWM?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for pointers on how to create a bootable SDcard.

You can also upgrade from CM10 to CM11 without using a SDcard -- see http://xdaforums.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ST Dog:
Obviously it's not booting from the SD card then. Either you messed to the card somehow, or you device if picky about booting.

I have 4 HDs that run from SD installs and one always needs a warm boot to get the SD card. The HD+ needed a warm boot too, but that one runs CM11 from EMMC.

Of course you should be able to install the new CWM (on the SDcard) from the old CWM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] IggyP:
Perfect, now my NOOK is runnig again. Obviously my SD card was not prepared correct.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] exenia:
I've had a very hard time getting CM11 working with gapps included, many many repeated wipe & install cycles. I never have errors during installation, it's after powering off and removing sdcard to do an internal boot, I'm repeatedly getting 'Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped'.

The error details are reporting a crash when enabling wifi-

Java.Lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.net.wifi.IWifiManager.setWifiEnabled

During the repeated reinstalls I had also restored the stock OS just to check if wifi was left shut off, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I have been able to get CM working without gapps, but haven't had any luck booting into CWM and adding gapps to an existing install, it ends up back at the same error. Some questions-

1. Should I be formatting /system and wiping dalvik cache in addition to factory reset every time a CM install is done? Are there other cleanup steps I'm missing?

2. Is CM11 or the Nook extremely picky about gapps versions? I've tried the pa-modular-micro linked in post#7 and opengapps ARM 4.4 pico/aroma. Redownloaded all of them many times, but since there is no error during install it seems like the files are intact.

3. Should I give up and try sideloading gapps instead, or is that functionally identical?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
/system typically gets reformatted automatically when flashing new ROM. You should only need to do "wipe /data & factory reset".

I'd suggest using ARM-4.4-nano.

No.

The minimal functional package is nano, everything else can easily be added via Google Play store afterward. If you are curious about the difference in content of these GApps packages you can just open and inspect them with 7-Zip or WinZip.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] exenia:
Good to know, that saves a few steps in the reinstall process. It makes me think there is something else that's wrong though, several installs had skipped gapps and still got the same wifi error on boot.

What I meant about gapps versions was not so much the package sizes but the different source builds around. I don't know if CWM6046 or CM11 require using Open-gapps, or PA-gapps, a different build, or a specific release version of those besides their current download.

Somehow I got it to work though, using the pa-gapps file from post #7 again. The only thing different this time was restoring to a backup image of CM11 without gapps and installing on top of that. Now I've got a baseline backup with gapps included, hopefully won't have to mess with it again.

I need help. :)

Hello,

I am in need to revert to stock for my Nook HD Color. I tried to find one of your oldest post, but I got lost. So I installed the CWM 10.2 with the related files. Now, for some reason I cannot install the NOOK reader anymore. I think that I made a mistake. If you still have the original files to revert to B&N original OS, Iwould appreciate very much. Although I love the CMW 10.2, in the way that it seems to be faster and it does not overheat my NOOK, the problem that I cannot longer read with the NOOK app. Is there a file i am missing in order to do that? If not, could you be so kind to send me a link where I can reainstall to the original OS for B&N in order to read my Nook books?

Thank you very much.

Hi Perla, I have the HD+ so I can't help you. Have you tried the Nook android app, or a different app? There are other reader apps out there. I think there's one called Moon Reader.

You need to first update your internal CWM recovery to a new version in order to flash/install CM11 -- see https://xdaforums.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171 for more info/pointers.

FWIW, CM11 is fairly dated by now and as such the current version of many commonly used apps which are optimized for Android 6.x/7.x don't run well on CM11. You might want to consider updating to CM14.1/LN14.1 (https://xdaforums.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269) as I recently had done.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Mattmcp83:
First off, I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this, or if it's already been discussed elsewhere. I have been searching for days trying to figure out how to root my Nook HD+. It has been discussed extensively all over. However, since Cyanogen's site is shut down, I can't find all of the necessary downloads to make this root happen. I am a relative novice at rooting, but I've done it on a couple of devices in the past. I can follow directions to get it done, but need all of the puzzle pieces to finish. I don't want to go the N2A route because I want to flash from internal memory. And, I'm not picky about the ROM version either. At this point I just want to be able to use the nook without so much lag. If anybody can't point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
I have no problem getting to those links -- you might want to try clearing your browser's cache.

If your SD card is 32GB or more, create a boot a partition of 16GB or less.

It's also possible that your HD+ is one of those units that cannot boot from SD card (see https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2288688).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Mattmcp83:
Thank you. I finally switched to a 32 GB card that I knew was good. I couldn't get it to boot with the CM11 files, so I switched to CM10.2, and booted to the SD on the first try. However, I think I need to extract the Gapps file from .rar, and compress it back to a .Zip. All of the Gapps files I'm finding are .rar, and it doesn't show up in the list for "install from SD cards" in the boot menu.

Suggest checking download zip integrity, since corrupted zips seem to be a common issue. Update installs are no different than installs over stock, and there shouldn't be a systemic problem. Any issue experienced is likely specific to your setup, and file integrity is high on the checklist.

For the Mac users

hey e.mote, for the Mac OS X users out there, I came across these links:

http://alltheware.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/easiest-way-sd-card-setup/ or,

http://www.plugpbx.org/?page_id=109 or,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/piwriter/

Now these are for very cool but very different DIY homebrew projects, but they will do what needs doing in our case here.

I just want to remind those users to replace the *.img file path with the 4GB CWM bootable .img path and filename. Be mindful also regardless of the tool you use to select the appropriate destination. Instructions for doing so are contained in those links, so confim before proceeding.

I do everything old-school (command line, harkening back to my DOS and command line Linux days) but the links above will certainly be helpful for all the OS X GUI users out there.

Otherwise, for those who want to go old-school you will use a command line statement like this:

sudo dd if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m

But, you need to know where your sdcard is first in order to access it from the command line. You can do this a couple of different ways but I think the easiest is to just execute the following from the command line:

diskutil list

Note which /dev/disk# reflects your SD card. Next you must unmount the disk where "#" is the number of the disk taken from the above command, so execute the following command:

sudo diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#

If the above command was successful, you will see:

Unmount of all volumes on diskN was successful

Now you can run the command that will actually write the disk image to your SD card, just insert the number once again taken from the 'list' command earlier:

sudo dd if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m

and you are done! You can now pick back up with e.mote's instructions...

I feel like such a noob...

Okay, it's about 6-weeks since I've decided to write something about my noob abilities on the Nook HD+. I've rooted a few G2 phones and installed CM10.1 on each of them, but I think I've screwed up my Nook HD+. I can't say it's screwed up, but I don't know how to UNDO what I did.

At the beginning, using leapinlar's instructions (here), I've started off with on a SD card:

NookHDplus-Hybrid-SD-image-and-CWM-rev1-(04.23.13).img
​

This allowed me to boot up into CWM with the dual boot.

Then I did install one of these:

NookHDplus-Hybrid-SD-CM-ROM-Converter-rev2-(03.16.13).zip​

Before installing:

cm-10-20121231-UNOFFICIAL-ovation (CM10, 4.1.x).zip

gapps-jb-20121011-signed (CM10, 4.1.x).zip​

Eventually I got really bored of CM10 as I'm using a stock Nexus 4 with 4.2.2, so I started to screw around to install 4.2.2:

cm-10.1-20130511-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard (CM10.1, 4.2.2).zip

gapps-jb-20130301-signed (CM10.1, 4.2.2).zip
​

But the installation didn't go smoothly, as I remembered I had to wipe/delete all the stuff off before installing a new ROM. In the mean time, a new version of the SD card converter was available, which I installed.

NookHDplus-Hybrid-SD-CM-ROM-Converter-rev3-(05.14.13).zip​

This helped out, but then I realized that I've LOST my ability to boot into the Nook without the SD card in place. Instead, I get the CM wheel and it just stops there.

When I panicked, I tried the factory reset, which didn't work. I came to a realization that:

A) I've deleted the ALL Nook nook files.

B) I'm stuck with the existing recovery/boot​

Where I stand today:

I can get access to my old recovery by doing the usual hold POWER and N-keys and eventually it will get me into:

CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.3 or HD+ SD Hybrid​

Which I believe is a dated recovery. I would like to know how do I get myself out of this hole:

A. I can't get a new SD card to be booted from. It appears that it's booting from the internal memory with the CM circle. Is there a way to force that, or copy a new boot sector/files onto my internal memory of the Nook​

B. Can I get a new recovery installed on the nook?​

C. If I decide to sell this Nook or take it in for warranty, how do I UNDO everything and put it into STOCK nook OS?​

Using verygreen's info, I've managed to easily install his 07/06 CM10.1 update along with GAPPS, and restore my Nook to where it was in my last run.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
That install of verygreen's CM10.1 replaced stock on internal memory with CM10.1. It also wiped out all traces of the hybrid files on internal.

The old SD can be reformatted with SDFormatter (free on the web) to make it a normal SD.

If you want stock back on internal memory, follow my procedure from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] :
So I hate to be 'that guy' but I've tried booting my CM SD card probably 50+ times now using two different SD cards with no luck. Even did the eject / insert after each reboot every time with no success.

Is there a way to force it to boot from SD card? Is there another way to install CM? Or should I just return it and get another one? I have no intention of keeping this Nook as a Nook. I bought it because this method seemed viable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] tgreenstein:
