[Q] Can't create autonooter 3.0 img on sdcard

Need to have better/clearer instructions on the win32diskimager software to write autonooter to sdcard. Things I did:
1. 16gb microsd card in laptop via sd card adapter.
2. dl autonooter 3.0, unzaipped in seperate folder on desktop(124,627kb size img file)
3. dl win32diskimager-RELEASE0.2-r23-win32, unzipped
4. double click Win32DiskImager.exe under the unzipped folder
5. I select the aformentioned autonooter img file and the program automatically selects my sdcard, in my case g:
6. I click "write"
7. I get a Confirm overwrite message "Writing to a physical device can corrupt the device. Are you sure you want to continue?" I click Yes.
8. Write Error message appears- Not enough space on disk.
wha???
I am confident that I am doing something wrong in the whole windiskimager process, as the process was never explained very well. For example, when you go to the page to dl the win32diskimager there are 4 files 2 win32 files and 2 source files. One each for a .2 release and a .1 release. ok...wtf? what do I use? how do I use them etc etc etc.
It just seems to me that this particular step in the process could stand a little more clarification/simplification. just saying.
Thanks.

I had the exact same issue, someone told me that it might have something to do with using a built in SD card reader to your laptop, like I was using. He said that he tried that and an external reader with win32diskimager, and that the external usb reader worked fine.
I was able to work around this by using the method that involved WinImage instead of win32diskimager...I don't have the instructions on me at the moment but if you look around you may be able to find them.

Actually you might just want to have both. I've the same thing happen with WinImage and had to use Win32DiskImager. As long as I don't run into both having the error, I'm good

[Q] Rooting the nook hd "beginner"

Hey, I have been looking for a beginner guide to root the nook hd. I am new to rooting so i really have no idea on what to do. I do have windows 8, so i don't know if that would be a problem. If any one knows how to root the nook hd and wants to help it might be easier to chat in Skype, and my Skype name is doodlebuy97. Thanks for your help!!!
P.S. I have looked up guides, but most of them are advanced guides....

By far, the easiest way to root is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
You just need an SD card, a card reader, some software you download for burning the card, and the downloads in the thread.
Universal root is what is says.
Gapps refers to the Google Applications and Play Store is one of them
Unknown Sources lets you install files not from Barnes and Noble.
For now, ignore the other files until you get that working.
The nice thing is you can't brick your nook, worst case you just have to try to reboot 8 times to be back where you started.
Enjoy and welcome!

Thanks I'll see if this works for me!

What the site doesn't tell you is the order in which to flash. It's also a lot of info to decipher. Leapinlar has done an incredible job providing all of the resources and info needed. Here's what I did using that thread:
1. Follow the instructions in the thread for burning the cwm image to the sd card. There are easier instructions here that Someone0 posted:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34954992&postcount=132. Someone0's directions are for Win7, so it should be close to Win8.
2. Take the sd card out and reboot your Nook like normal.
3. Connect Nook to PC via USB and copy the Universal Root zip and the Gapps zip to your Nook internal storage (on top level so it will be easier to find.
4. Shut down and reinsert your burned sd card. Boot into recovery via power + volume up.
5. Once in cwm, don't hit the N button unless you want to select something. The power button is "nack" i think, but don't quote me on that. Navigate cwm to install the zip from internally storage. Make sure you find internal storage or you won't see any zips.
6. Once flashed, shut down, take out card, and reboot.
7. Discover the wonderful world of a rooted device.

Power button is Home (Top) I think.
You also need ADB running to copy the files over, no? Or are you copying to internal memory using MTP... Can you flash from there? I had just copied the zips to the card while it was in the card reader on the Windows machine. Then the zips are on the CWM card. After you are done, just do a nandroid backup with CWM too in case something gets borked later...

Wow, you're talking about LeapinLar's Nook HD/HDplus Stock Root - via CWM flashable zips thread. Let me correct and clarify those steps a bit:
1. To burn an image to your sd card in Windows, download the win32diskimager-binary.zip, unzip, and run the exe. Write the unzipped CWM image file (be sure to use the one for your device) to the sd card in your computer/card reader. (The post linked to is for getting adb working which you don't need for this.)
2.-3. Leave the sd card in your computer after burning the CWM image and just copy the zips to it.
4. With your nook off put the sd card in and turn on (no need to press the volume up).
5. Once CWM starts up, install zips from sd card (vol + & - are up and down, n button is select, power is back to previous menu). Do the universal root first, then gapps.
6. After the zips are installed, take out the sd card and select reboot.
7. Look around these forums for more info on enjoying your rooted Nook!

I just reworked my instructions in that thread. After going through it in excruciating detail with SovietRussian, I concluded it needed revising. See if you think it is better.

They do look better. Honestly, they were pretty clear to me to begin with. But I do have previous experience with the Nookcolor. I just looked at natefish's instructions and thought he was making it a little harder then it had to be.

Actually, I was just combining what others told me with that leapinlar was saying to do. What I wrote is what worked for me, so I was just trying to help.

Rooting by changing internal code
Been searching for something I stumbled along awhile back. It requires disassembling the Nook HD. My eyes are heavy from search. Supposedly there is another SD card in the nook and a few words need changing. Anyone recall were it is?

[Q] HD+ installing CM10

Sorry for what I'm sure is a dopey noob question. I've been pulling out my hair reading through various threads and I can't figure out what I'm doing. I downloaded Mr. Verygreen's "cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip" and I'm not entirely sure if I am just supposed to copy that to the SD card or what-- I tried that but wasn't sure anything good came of it-- then downloaded CWM. Followed instructions to get Nook HD+ to boot CWM. Everything is going fine until I hit this instruction: "Now do Code: adb push cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip /sdcard." I don't know how to do that so I follow the alternate instruction, to put the SD card back in the PC and "put zip files to volume named "CM10SDCARD" (not "boot")." However, the SD card is now named "Boot" and there's no files or anything I can access which ISN'T BOOT and my progress stops right there.
Again, sorry. I'm sure this has been answered but I couldn't find it. Thanks for your great work, everyone.

You won't be able to copy to the CM10SDCARD partition in Windows. You'll either need to use a linux live-cd (I use ubuntu) in a virtual machine (like virtualbox, which is free) and use that to copy the files, or set up adb to copy directly to the hd+. Leapinlar has a thread detailing how to setup adb on windows for the HD+, you should be able to find it in the forums. Personally, I have an Ubuntu dual-boot, so I use my Ubuntu OS to copy the files to the SD card. Setting up a virtual machine is also extremely easy (you don't need to install the OS, just boot from the iso image, which you can download for free from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop; choose either of the two options, won't make much of a difference). VirtualBox is very easy to use and you can just follow the documentation. Check out this website for a very simple step by step guide:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ndows-7-virtual-machine-using-virtualbox.html

Ahhh, thanks a ton for clearing this up. I thought writing CWM to the card was the only thing Windows was bad at. Although I'm sure Virtualbox is easy, I just plugged the card into my girlfriend's MAC and there it was-- the folder I was looking for.
Installed. Looks to be working great.

[Q] CM10 using TWRP

Hi,
I am a little confused, I have followed verygreens , thank you for the work !! , latest post to install CM10 to sdcard. I have created my sdcard and booted into TWRP as directed, then connected to my pc , linuxmint, it connects and shows a 16gb directory with various folders. I have 2 questions:-
1) I thought that the instructions where for installing to sdcard, my sdcard is 8GB , but it looks like it is mounting the nooks internal storage, i have a 16gb nook hd+
and
2) If this is ok, which folder do I need to copy the cm-10-20130212-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip file too?
Thanks very much, I hope I have provided enough information to highlight my problem.
Mal

If you have Linux, you do not need to use his new TWRP method to copy the zip to the SD. Just plug the card directly into the PC and copy the CM zip to the SDCARD partition with Linux. Then put the card back into the Nook and boot to TWRP and install the zip.

Hi,
Thx for the quick reply, I have found 3 partitions on the sdcard now, one called CM10SDCARD , I assume this is the one to copy the zip file to.
Thx in advance

[Q] Confused with SD Install of CM10 on Nook HD

:crying: My brain hurts.
I'm trying to figure out how to install CM10 onto an SD card so I can dual boot my nook HD, but each time I read the instructions I get lost in more and more threads to the extent I'm totally and utterly confused.
In the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063968 is
CM10 sdcard Installer (For CM10.1 installation additional step in the instructions should be followed)
Due to many problems/issues encountered by users with regards to adb and sdcard not working in Windows, I have combined the two files below and written a short script to automate the installation process. Just insert the sdcard to your device and it will be installed with CM10 automatically. No user intervention is needed.
Instructions
Download the compressed image file cm10-sdcard-installer.img. Posted: 12/28
Unpack and write the image to your sdcard. For more info on how to do it, see this post.
(optional) To install CM10.1 instead of CM10, replace 'CM-10-hummingbird.zip' of the SD card boot folder with any CM10.1 image file you can download here in this page (you need to rename the file exactly as above).
Insert into the device and boot (cold)/reboot (warm).
Wait for it to finish installation.
Enjoy your HD with CM10 (CM10.1)

which is simple, but does this "install" to the SD Card, or to the nook's internal? All the instructions I've read for making a dual boot say you need to install CM onto the SD card, which I understand, but how do I *know* I'm about to install to the SD card rather than overwrite the Nook?
Helllpppp!!

Two things tell you. First the CWM itself will say for SD and second, the name of the zip file says for SD.

Just bout a Nook HD from the pawn shop. Turn it on and it wants me to register. I have 2 Nook Colors. I registered them. rooted and added Cyanogenmod. Seems as I recall back that it was best to register them right away. I was just thinking, why? Why not just update it with no registration. Pros and cons please. Thank

The only advantage to registering a new nook is it starts your warranty. But since this is used from a pawn shop, it is probably registered to someone else and you can't register it anyway.
