Currently, all of my content/books are missing form the library. Anyone else having similar issues ?
Here is the odd part..
If I wipe data and start over, all of my books come back into the library, however, within 30 seconds of being online, they all disappear.
guess I'm alone lol
Do you have an we card in the nook? Did you root it at one point? And if you did root it when you say you reset the nook did you wipe the data and do the 8 failed boot wipe?

Try booting into recovery and doing a factory reset that way. Turn the device off, then hold down the N button and power button at the same time to get into recovery.
well i want to keep CM7 on the internal memory i just want to unlink my gmail account, so whenever i sell it, the person that will recieve the nook wont have my email and access to my market account

Yes, the method I showed you will keep CM7 on the internal memory. A factory reset just wipes the all the application data and things like cache. It will take the ROM back to like it was the first time you booted it up.
Are you running Clockworkmod recovery?

Hello,
First off, thanks to e.mote for the CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies guide and to the work put in by verygreen, leapinlar and bokbokan. The guide was simple and straightforward, I installed CM10.1 and CWM (seemingly) without a hitch.
However, when attempting to do a baseline backup, I'm running into some problems. I've searched the forum overall and gone through pages and pages in the Nook sections and not found any real solution. On my 8GB HD, when rebooting to recovery and attempting to backup to an SD card, I'm having the following issues:
When CWM loads, I get a "warning: no file_contexts" message. I've read mixed things about whether this is significant or not and what to do to correct it.
When I go to backup and restore>backup it seems to backup to the SD card without a hitch (although it has shown differing amounts of free space on the cards whenever I've attempted this). But when I insert the card into my computer to copy the backup, the only thing on the card is a folder called "LOST.DIR" and all the space but 3.1MB is free. I've done this 3-4 times so far, with two different microSD cards (one 4GB, one 32GB). I've both checked it and formatted the card (in FAT32) on a computer running Windows XP and one running OSX. Same results on both every time.
At some point when attempting to do the backup, the screen of the Nook begins to flash/flicker and doesn't stop until I restart it.
The first time I tried to do the backup, after I tried to restart, it didn't boot back up and the power button was unresponsive. Possibly this was due to overheating? I plugged it into the charger and it started up on its own after about 10 minutes.
Anyone else encounter this? Any solutions. Obviously I want to be able to back things up. I just rooted the device this evening, so I'd rather to not have to go through the install process all over again rather than have a proper backup.
Thanks!
You need to tell us which version of CWM you are running. And is installed to internal memory or SD?

Ah, of course! Sorry, that's what I get for doing this so late. Okay, so it's installed to the internal memory. The files I downloaded were this and this. When I reboot into recovery is says "EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.3.6".

Ah, ok. That means you have the newest version which puts the backup on internal memory. If you look at the menu choices closely, you will see it says to internal sdcard and the other choice is to external sdcard. So you will not find the backup on your external card.

Thanks! That'll teach me to just blindly follow instructions rather than looking around and exploring on my own - I didn't even notice the "Backup to External SD" option. So, thanks for your patience, your work on this and your speedy replies. Seems like all is well now.
Hi There
I got my Nook HD+ a couple of months ago, and I've started noticing quite a bit of slowdown in Apps, in particular getting a lot of "xxx isn't responding, do you want to close it - Wait/OK messages.
I've installed various tools to monitor CPU/memory etc but not been able to. Running Cleanmaster to clear memory and caches sometimes seems to give some brief respte, but not for long> I also used Malwarebytes AV and found a trojan dialler, and removal of that againseemed to help for a little while, but the problems came back a few hours later.
I therefore decided to give the CM ROM a try and installed 10.1, and which I really like the interface and woul dlike to carrry on using it, it would seem that the problem is even worse on this version of Android. The basic laucher itself isn't too bad, but applications are barely usable, which initially made me wonder if I've got a hardware problem.
I'm using a Kingston 8GB memory card (I did read somewhere that somebody else had problems with speed on a similar SD card, but as far as I'm aware Kingston should be a decent brand)
I've been reading through the forums about the trim issue, and it would appear I have the MAGDA eMMC which is suseptible to the trim bug, here are the details on my version:
$ su
# cd /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device
# cat name
MAG2GA
# cat manfid
0x000015
# cut -b 19,20 cid
6
# cat date
10/2012
There seems to be a fair amount of debate about wwhether it's safe to try the fstrim fix along with 10.2 on this version of the chip. I'm also wondering if pulling the SD card and trying a hard reset might be worth trying.
Would anybody be able to to offer me some guidance on whether this is likely to be the trim issue, and whether I'm safe to try fstrim/Lagfix?
I have tried to read up as much as I can before posting, but there's a lot of information and I'm not entirely sure how much of it is currently in date, so I'm still not entirely certain whether this is what's affecting me, and what the best course of action from here is. Apologies in advance therefore if this has been covered elsewhere.
Thanks very much in advance.
Alex.
It does sound like you are experiencing LAG and are in need of trim. But you have the buggy emmc chip and I would not recommend it. Try booting to your CWM SD and going to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'. See if that helps. An ordinary factory reset does not really format /data and will not make it better. That is why you still had LAG after installing CM10.1.

Thanks very much for the reply.
I've booted back into CWM, and the Mounts and Storage menu gives me the option of mounting or formatting several partitions:
/sytem
/cache
/emmc
/data
/sdcard
There doesn't look to be an option for "Format data and datamedia" however (I get the impression this should be a distinct option?).
I tried formatting just /data, after doing so and booting back into CM it started to run through the initial setup. The CWM version I'm using is v6.0.3.2.
A bit of further googling suggests that /data/media is hosted on /sdcard, but if I navigate through the filesystem it looks like my personal data from the stock install is /emmc, but I'm a bit wary of formatting this in case it affects the stock ROM. Coudl this be what I should be formatting instead?

Are you running CM10.1 on SD? I thought you replaced stock with CM10.1 on emmc. That was my basis for saying you need to format 'data and datamedia'. It uses the same /data that stock used, thus carrying over the LAG problem. An SD install puts /data on the SD (unless you used the hybrid SD install which then does use the same /data partition on emmc).
And I am not talking about /data/media. I am talking about 'data and datamedia'. That option actually formats all of /data including /data/media. A format /data with CWM does not "format" anything. It erases all of /data except /data/media, leaving your media files intact. An actual format is necessary to remove LAG.

Leap,
Thanks for this! I did format 'data and datamedia' and this fixed the lag I have been experiencing. I had to register w/CM and it reloaded some apps from Google play and I had to re-install other apps using Apps Back-up and Restore. Not ideal having re-install periodically (monthly?) in order to keep it running smoothly.
This proves to me that these tablets need TRIM. However, I have an HD+ 16GB with MAG2GA Date:11/2012, FwRev 0x06. Do you think it would be safe to try KitKat on SDcard or would that still subject my Nook to bricking?
BTW, Bought this on the Mother's Day deal so, still under warranty
Thank again,

Understood. When I couldn't find the "data and datamedia" option on CWM I did some googling, and "/data/media" returned a lot of hits, it seemed like a plausible alternative.

That is why you did not find that option. You need to use the CWM made for stock from my HD/HD+ CWM thread.
And the lag when running from SD is likely caused by the brand and class of your SD. It needs to be a SanDisk class 4.

To get around having to re-register and re-install everything, do a nandroid backup with CWM and after the format 'data and datamedia', do a CWM restore. That will put everything back but your media files. To save them, back them up manually to your SD or PC and manually restore them later. I know this is a pain to do but it is better than bricking your device.
And I don't know anything about kitkat on SD and trim. Even on SD some things are on emmc.

Right, understood. Sorry, when I made the original post I think I don't think I fully understood the purpose of the eMMC chip, obviously if it's running on a separate filesystem can't be the same problem. I've now got a Sandisk card on order, will give that a try next and go from there.
Thanks for your help, appreciated
Hi, i wanted to ask this to leapinlar in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613, but since i can't, i will ask it openly. I've rooted a Nook HD+ 2.2.0 following that guide succesfully. Now I would like to try out cyanogenmod, but just try it out so if possible i would to run a hybrid configuration without changing to much in the internal file structure. My goal is to be able to use the tablet without the high temps i get whenever i look at videos or even use the web browser in the stock os.
So, after following the guide from that thread what would be most simple way to install cyanogenmod? (i mean, without following the other guide which would mean doing a factory reset, getting a 4gb sd card and other stuff)
Thanks

Thanks leapinlar for your response, yeah that was the guide i was referring to, the "for dummies guide". So this would mean i have to get a 4gb sd card, do a factory reset, install CWM in the internal memory and everything else that is written there? (this would mean overwriting the root i already did?) Or can i just use the CWM sd card that i used for the root and install cyanogen from the zip?

The 'for dummies guide' is for putting CM on internal memory replacing stock. You said you wanted to leave stock alone and install to an SD. That is why I suggested one of bokbokan's SD ROMs in the dev forum.
But yes, you can use the CWM SD you created to do the root to install a CM ROM to internal memory replacing stock. Just follow the dummies guide after the creation of the CWM SD.

hi again, i've been using the hybrid install and now my SD card is full and the OS is slow (i can't see the files that are making it full)... should i expand the partition in the sd card? (it is 127 mb)
hi again, so today i had another problem: i had to restart the nook because the cyanogen OS froze and during boot the SD card was never detected... so i turned it off, got the SD card out and the nook did a factory reset on its own with which i lost all my data!
i am wondering if the root was also lost amd what should i do to prevent this from happening?

Yes, if the device reset, you lost everything, including root if you had it. The way to prevent the device from reseting is to not let it fail to boot 8 times in a row. Turn it off until you get an SD inserted that boots properly.

You can't with the Nook HD/HD+. Since internal media files and your app data share the free space internally, your best solution is to store all of your media files by default on the SD so that all internal space is available for apps. You can do that by going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flashing my swap SD for CM zip. See item 4.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
So what exactly will that do to my nook? It will then store all of the app data on the external SD instead of internal?
You can repartition your sdcard and use Link2SD. It won't move OBB files, but it can move apps, data, libs and dalvik files.

No, just the app's media files. They will go by default to external SD instead of internal SD. The regular app data stays on internal.
But maybe you do want to try the link2sd. I used it on my limited storage phone in the past and it worked great.

I cant even get links2sd to work and now my CWM is acting strange with the scrolling either getting stuck or not responding.
It sounds like you have some software problems. You did not say but I assume you installed CM10.1.3 on internal memory. I recommend a factory reset to clear things out and then reinstall your apps.

No. It will not effect the ROM (CM10.1.3) either. It just wipes your installed apps and data. Just try the factory reset before you reinstall to see if that fixes it.
