Been trying for a week - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So everyday I get off work, I try to install cm10 on my wife's nook hd+ but I just can't seem to do it, I bought a class 4 32gb sandisk from staples since people had have success with it, but anyways I got windows 7 and did all the steps and got adb working with the nook and rooted it just fine got googleplay working and so forth, but now trying to install cm10...is mission impossible so i use win32diskmanager to write the image of cwm or to make my life simpler put the one by bokbokan that suppose to install automatic, none of them work for bokbokan it doesnt even boot on the sd card, for the other method by verygreen cwm starts when cold boot but it has a problem partition the sd card so it goes no further, and thats where i been stuck, i dont know what i am doing wrong, is it win32diskmanager? every time i install the image it shrinks my sd card size to 190ish mb is this correct? anyways any help would be great

How do you know the card has a problem partitioning the sd card. Does it give you an error message? You say it goes no further. What are you expecting it to do?
And the card being a small size is normal.
I guess I don't understand what you are asking.

got it working, followed the tips of another poster that you have to reinstall the drivers when you are in cmw to make adb work and then i used that to install cm10, but another question now that i have cm10 can i just sideload apps by copying and pasting to memory or do i have to flash install them? since i noticed not even gapps is installed

You go get gapps from goo.im using you cm10 browser and select jb-20121011 version and download to your sd . Then boot to cwm and flash it. Reboot to cm10 and register play store and all your apps are there.

FYI, if you didn't already figure this out, the version from bokbokan didn't work because it's for the HD only, not the HD+.

not sure all these install problems are sd cards..I used two elcheapos, worked flawlessly

How are you guys copying over the binary files to a different partition?
Im using windows 7 and the only partition that it displays in Computer is the BOOT one..
Any idea on how to copy the zip binary file to a different partition of the SD card within windows 7?
Thanks
EDIT:
When I burn the new sd card image, my sd card partitions look as follows:

Just need to figure out how the get that binary zip file onto CM10SDCARD...
I downloaded virtualbox and got an ubuntu vm image. Was able to load the zip image file through that. Install successful
EDIT:
I managed to get it installed. However I have noticed:
- The screen resolution is smaller than stock..
- My screen does not tilt..
bokbokan's mod works a treat, great work on this one!
i have one issue with cm10+gapps however i am not able to bring up in the dev thread due to the low post count. having cm10+gapps (latest or 20121011 version) combined results in the keyboard service being killed right after i boot my hd up and every time i try to use any input field. clearing data method did not fix this for me.
is there anything else i could try to make it work?

To tilt the screen, hold it vertical while you rotate it. Screen resolution is the same, it just looks smaller. You can change that by editing /system/build.prop. Look for the line that ends ...density=240. Change to something larger.

CM10 copy zip to sdcard
Am very frustrated. Been working on this for 3 days. I have got ADB installed and working. When I copy the ZIP file over to /SDCARD it does not show up in CWM when I go to install from sdcard. When I look in file explorer I see the ZIP file was copied to the internal memory.
If I install the ZIP from internal memory will it work correctly?
Also looking at the Nook HD+ develper documentation it shows the removable sdcard as /ext_sdcard and the internal memory as /sdcard.
What am I doing wrong?
I started Ubuntu on my Dell laptop and it will not show or mount the sdcard no matter what I do.
I really want to get this working. I don't give up easily but after three days I need help.

I used LeapinLar's stock root by CWM fashable ZIPs. This worked great I have root and Gapps installed. Now I see that bokbokan has a new easy install CM10 sdcard install to do what I originally was tryingto do.
I downloaded the image and wrote it to the sdcard. Poped in the NOOK HD+ and rebooted. It keeps booting to the stock Nook ROM. I tried doing a ADB reboot and it still reboots to stock rom.
I have redonloaded and made the image three times with the same results.
I put Leapinlar's CWM sdcard back in the NOOK and it boots to CWM.
Is the image i'm downloading corrupt? Is there a check sum for this file?
What am I doing wrong? Is the fact that the Nook is already rooted keeping this from booting?

Need Help Installing SD Duel Boot on Nook Please.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087988&page=1
I want to install this dual boot on my nook plus but I am not having much luck.
The nook hd plus had firmware 2.1.0 if it matters.
I downloaded cwm early 7.1 (sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img.gz and unzipped the image fie with 7zip.
I then downloaded Winimage version 9.0 and selected the E drive where my brand new san disk 16 gig SDSDQ-016G-AW46A
When I clicked the write button and I get a message the current image format is not supported. It will be resized. Do you want to continue which I did. I then appears to write the image because I see files on the micro sd card. So I stick the sd in the nook and suspecting I will get a boot loader and I get nothing but the normal nook boot screens. Also it is not real clear how I will install cm-10.1-20130719-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip. IE whether I download it to the nook or the sd card and if I need to extract the zip ahead of time.
I really want to get this working soon and I really do want to run completely off the SD card. If anyone can please help without just referring to links to posts that are not written very well I would appreciate it. I have actually RTFM allot of these posts and they seam to be missing allot of important details and steps assuming you have done this before. On a side note it mentioned download other apps you may want is google play and allot of key stuff missing in these builds? Thanks.

Don't use winimage to write the image to sd, use win32diskimager free on the web.
Also some of the newer HD+'s are hard to get to boot to SD. Just keep trying to burn and boot. You have o get it to boot to SD or it can't install the CM10.1.
You copy the CM10.1 zip to internal memory when running stock. Then when you boot to the SD, install it from internal memory.

I am using this duel boot method running root on SD. I was wondering how do I upgrade the ssd to the latest sd only version without loosing my installed stuff and settings? Also can the daily builds be run on the rom only version while maintaining installed programs and settings? If so what is the easiest way using an sd card only boot? I want to preserve the original nook for now is why I am using this method. Thanks.

To update to a newer version of the same ROM, just flash the newer SD version over the top of the old version using the same CWM that you flashed the original. All your apps and settings should remain.

So do I copy the latest update to the rooted os on the sd card or do I have to boot back to the original nook os and download it there?

You can do everything from your SD. Just download the new zip, boot to CWM and install zip from SD. It will keep your apps intact.

Nook HD+: bootable SD after 2.1.1?

I have a new Nook HD+ on the way, I plan to register it and then install CM 10.1, but I'm concerned I saw in another thread that someone wasn't able to boot off an SD and the update automatically installed. Can anyone confirm they were able to still boot of an SD card after installing 2.1.1?
I was able to boot off a Transcend Class 10 SD card after installing the 2.1.1 update.
Some HD/HD+ units reportedly have difficulty booting off SD card, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688. The problem has nothing do with the stock ROM, new or old.
Ok, thanks. Should have it today and will go ahead as planned. Just concerned me it was a brand new update and I'd only seen the negative response, but it sounds like it should be good.

My HD+ would not boot with a 4gb card or a 2gb card, I tried it at least 10 times apiece, however I did get it to boot with a SanDisk TransFlash 256 MB with just the boot image files and CWM.
It boots to the 256MB card first try everytime. So as soon as CWM loads I swapped the 256 for the 2gb and did a stock backup, rooted and installed CM.

but i forgot to copy universal root onto my sd card..............so can i root my nook later after installing cyanogenmod?

I am tempted to dispute this. I had a brand-new HD+ with stock firmware v2.0.4 which consistently (and always at first attempt) booted from sd card (Kingston 4GB, cl 4).
After upgrading to stock firmware v2.1.1, but with no other changes, it wouldn't boot once in 50+ attempts. The sd card was unchanged, the HD+ hardware was the same, so this behaviour would seem to point to the firmware change as the culprit, doesn't it?

It does, but booting is controlled by the hardware chip firmware. There is no way for b&n to change that remotely.
A way to test your theory is to do an 8 failed boot with stock recovery installed and go back to 2.0.4. Then see if your booting trouble goes away.
Edit: If that is really the case, the solution is to revert to 2.0.4 and immediately upgrade to CM. Then it should boot SDs ok.

My HD+, which originally came with 2.0.4 and got immediately auto-updated to 2.1.0 and then later to 2.1.1, (luckily) has not had any problem booting off SD.
The boot-device selection process is controlled by the hardware configuration and bootstrap code in ROM (this is the device's real ROM, as opposed to the Android OS software that is commonly but incorrectly referred to as "ROM"); see http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project for an overview of the boot process, and more gory details can be found in http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swpu270s/swpu270s.pdf.
Have you re-checked "bootability" of the boot partition of your SD card, or tried a freshly burned SD boot image? I have had a few instances of Recovery or ROM SD cards rendered un-bootable after the stock ROM created files/folders on them.

As I wrote in my first post, the sd card (which booted properly with v2.0.4) was unchanged. I deleted all stuff the HD+ had put on it (a bunch of empty directories, if I recall correctly) and it had only the 5 CWM boot files and 2 zips I wanted to install. To the best of my knowledge the sd card was unchanged.
Never mind, it's probably one of those things...

As he said earlier though, the fact that 2.1.1 wrote to it at all may have done something to the SD.

[Q] Nook HD keeps booting into CWM/Cyanoboot

I have two NookHD+ but bought a HD for one of my sons. Got it yesterday and went about trying to figure out how to get CM 11 or 10.2 on it.
So took me forever to figure out it won't boot to SD without the power cable plugged in, even if battery is full. Whatever.
1. So created boot SD with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Wiped and then installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip
3. Tried to install cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip but failed saying something like "System 7" (not sure about "System" but 7 I'm sure about.)
Gave up on CM11, decided to try 10.2
1. Did a restore, wiped, then installed cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
2. Now with SD card removed it boots to CWM. I thought it might be something to do with cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip so I tried cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip but it still boots to CWM with the card removed.
Previosuly I screwed the pooch with one of the HD+and I had a stock ROM, but can't seem to find one for the HD.
Anyway, I hope someone had the answer please, son was using it a little stock and it's just plain broken now, so I feel like a jerk. HELP!:crying:
If possible, try starting from the beginning. Installing CM11 for many users has been problematic; so I'd recommend CM10.x for now.
Insert your SD card into your computer's card reader, and format it using SDFormatter. Now using your preferred tool, burn the .img file to your SD card (NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img).
Once burned, download a stable version of CM10.2.1 (or 10.1.3 if you prefer) from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hummingbird&type=stable and download gapps from: http://goo.im/gapps for the version of CM you download. Also download "CWM Recovery zip" (cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip) for Nook HD at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319000 (on the 5th paragraph). Once you have downloaded all three files, place them on your SD card.
Now eject your SD card from the computer. Turn your Nook off. Place the SD card in, and turn your Nook on (if your Nook does not boot from the SD card, do whatever method works for you to get it to boot). Once booted into CWM Recovery via SD card, install "cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip", now reboot your device. Make sure you're in this version of the recovery. Now clear your cache partition, and install both CM and Gapps.
After flashing/install, try rebooting. Hopefully you should be able to boot into CyanogenMod. If not, reply back please and I have another definite trick up my sleeve.
All the best.

3. Tried to install cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip but failed saying something like "System 7" (not sure about "System" but 7 I'm sure about.)
Gave up on CM11, decided to try 10.2
1. Did a restore, wiped, then installed cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
2. Now with SD card removed it boots to CWM. I thought it might be something to do with cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip so I tried cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip but it still boots to CWM with the card removed.
Previosuly I screwed the pooch with one of the HD+and I had a stock ROM, but can't seem to find one for the HD.
Anyway, I hope someone had the answer please, son was using it a little stock and it's just plain broken now, so I feel like a jerk. HELP!:crying:

The reason the CM11 did not install without an error message is it needs a newer version of CWM to flash it.
And you may need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the plain stock zip from item 6. That aborted CM11 install probably messed up your internal memory. Then you can start clean with CM10.2.

Thank you, I'll try it now, Formatted with SDFormatter and Burning NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img now (takes a while for whatever reason, class 4 card)
I'll then install...
1. Install cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip - Reboot
2. Clear Cache, Wipe then
3. install cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip And gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip.
Thank you, stay tuned for results!

Yeah you saved my HD+ with the stock image last time, but I can't seem to find the link or I don't recognize it. I must be blind, I'll go look closer...
Thank you
Edit, found it! thank you, helped that you told me "Item 6"
Ok, got it working and I got it working with CW11.
HiddenG, I tried your steps as best I could and no love from the Nook. After getting NookHD-stock-2.1.1-rooted.zip and installing it from the CWM that was burned on to the SD, the unit appeared to be back to stock. So I'll document the rest for others trying to install CW11 on the NookHD.
1. Burned a SD card with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Copied cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip, cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed to SD.
3. Booted from SD and cleared cache/wiped. Installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip. (Cleared cache/wiped again because I'm never sure on the order of such things)
4. Removed SD card and booted from the internal CWM (the one installed from cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5) by holding down nook sign and powering on.
5. Installed cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed. Cleared cache/wiped again because figured it was good to do ensure it was done.??
6. Remove SD card and Rebooted via the CWM menu.
7. Enjoying CW11
Thank you both for leapinlar & HiddenG for your help. You've saved the day and made my son a happy little guy again! :victory:
Haha, glad you got your son's Nook working again. Restoring to stock firmware/ROM was actually my last "definite trick up my sleeve." Anyhow, I'm happy for you!
Enjoy.

Nook HD not charging since CM11 install
This morning I installed the latest CM11 build (M11) on my daughter's Nook HD. Prior to that I was using the stock ROM with no issues. Since installing the ROM the tablet will not charge; rather than showing an orange light the device shows a green light whenever the charger is connected.
It seems possible that my cable has failed at the same time as performing the install, though a little unlikely.
Thank you for your help.
CM11 - TI OMAP drivers going to get updated?
As seen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/updated-ti-omap-video-driver-sluggish-t2912381
Just curious if we'll see these get rolled in...
Thanks for all the hard work!
I updated my Nook HD+ from CM 11 snapshot 10 to 11 OTA , now there is frequent automatic-touches or ghost-touches on the screen without me touching the screen. Any help?
Newbie Questions - B&N HD+
Hi - i am going to flash my B&N HD+ for the first time. i have been reading the forums and instructions and have few questions.
i want to do this without SD card (i can go buy one but i if not needed, i prefer not to use it). is this possible? in the EMMC thread, i still see that the SD card must be used for the flashing/booting. so essentially, to flash CWM 6046, is it possible to not use SD card? and if so, can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks

No, you must use an SD. There is no other way. And I suggest you use the dummies guide linked in my signature.

NookHDVolumeAdjuster for CM11 or CM10.2 ?
Is there a version of NookHDVolumeAdjuster that runs under CM11 or CM10.2 ? I am using version 1.0 under CM10.1.3. When I tried CM10.2, the sliders were all stuck at the far left. I need the sound higher volume, so I can't upgrade to CM10.2 or CM11. thanks.
Image Links?
Links to the intial sdcard image and recovery image in the original "[Q&A][Nook HD/HD+] EMMC CM11 install - updated 08/17" post are broken (nook.rootshell.ru appears down, from my perspective). Are these available elsewhere?

Nook HD plus and Gapps error status 6
Good morning,
I was working on flashing my nook last night with
cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip
cm-20141224-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
I have tried many different versions of stock, modular-full, modular-mini and gets a status code 6, I have successfully flashed gapps-kk-20140606-signed, but when I try to use it, the playstore just hangs like it is loading. Can someone advise the steps I need to take to successfully install a working version of gapps?
I have tried factory wiping several times and flashing the various versions of GAPPS.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that you provide.
Jim

I'd suggest that you try resetting the Google Playstore app: go to Settings->Apps->Google Playstore, and do a "force stop" and "clear data" (after which you'll need to re-enter your Google (Gmail) account login/passwd).
CM11 M12 - Device Temperature
Hi all,
After staying around on CM10.2 for a long time due to a few issues with earlier snapshots of CM11, I've decided to upgrade to M12. Finding it runs great on everything I'm doing - definitely smoother performance. One thing I am concerned about is the temperature hike of my tablet, particularly when charged and running a game (in this instance, Terraria). Is anyone finding the back running quite hot? Can feel it on the screen and the left side of the device, but the temperature reading of 32C/90F doesn't seem that bad... it does feel worryingly hot though. Not sure if it's something on my end or a common thing with CM11, but I never had this on any other build.
As a sidenote - do the developers accept donations?
Audio stuttering in Rayman Jungle Run
I just did an SD card install of CM11 on a Nook HD+ and it's been working well (thanks!), except that I've noticed that the audio in Rayman Jungle Run and Rayman Fiesta Run tends to stutter / warble, making it unpleasant to listen to. Youtube and Great Big War Game sound are good. I'm using cm-11-20141129-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip with its initial sdcard image for ovation (sdcard-cwm-early9.img) from the first post. The micro SD card is Samsung class 6 16GB.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Well, what I did, is I found the thread here that describes how to put B&N's OS v2.2.0 on a bootable microSD card. Once I had that working (it's not like B&N is ever going to update the firmware), I did a backup of the Nook's internal storage, and then installed CM11 on the internal storage.
That should solve your performance issues.
Note: You mention an HD+, but then refer to "Ovation", which is the name for the HD, not the HD+. You may want to edit your message to clarify the situation.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I would have done an internal install, but when I tried to backup the built-in firmware 2.2.0 using CWM 6.0.4.6 (from the OP), I got an error due to the /system partition being unmounted (I'm recalling this from memory; I hope I got it right). I tried using the mount option in CWM, but that failed too. I then said "screw it with the backup... I'll find another on the web", and then tried to do an emmc install of the latest milestone (M12) from the cyanogenmod download site (using SDCARD CWM-based 6.0.4.6 booted from SD... not internal memory), but the install failed with a "status 7" error (IIRC). I also tried using an earlier microSD image (sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img) and tried to install a backup of stock 2.2.0 firmware that I found from another thread here (thinking that maybe I had borked my own from an attempt at installing recovery CWM), but that finished too quickly (yet no errors), and on reboot it didn't appear to have overwritten my own stock firmware. After these efforts spanning a half dozen or so hours of reading, experimenting, etc., I was able to at least get the SD card install working, so I said screw it, I'll just use SD card. But I would really prefer an internal install as you suggest.
I wasn't able to get CWM to boot from internal memory, only SD card (Samsung 16gb class 6). I didn't try very hard though. Maybe this is the reason I can't do an emmc install or backup? Can you only backup internal memory after having booted from CWM recovery (on internal memory, not SD card)?
I was able to find a post somewhere that related the /system problem to rooting, but I never have rooted my Nook HD+ (manufactured Dec'12).
After reading more about the slow 4kB random write performance on most SD cards, I'm thinking of getting a Sandisk class 4 card, but I'd rather not go there if not necessary.
Thanks again.

It looks like you used the installation files meant for creating SD-based ROM image
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42406126&postcount=7 for info/pointers on EMMC installation.

This worked! I now have an emmc install of cm11 M12 from the cyanogenmod site. Since I'm running Ubuntu GNU/Linux, not Windows, I replaced steps 1 to 3 in your instructions in the above link with (at terminal prompt, with microSD card inserted but unmounted):
gunzip emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz
sudo dd if=emmc-cwm-early3.1.img of=/dev/sdb
I then mounted the microSD card and copied (as root) the zip files as in your link, all with terminal. The unmounted /system partition error did not appear, and the M12 install went fine! When wiping I had an error related to sd-ext missing, but from some more searching I concluded that it was benign.
Thank you for helping me out. I was starting to give up before the help I've received here. I'm generally really pleased with the performance of cm11 on Nook HD+ so far. I'm not yet noticing much difference between emmc and sd-card installs, performance-wise.
Unfortunately, the earlier performance problem (sound stuttering/warbling in Rayman Jungle Run) is still there using this internal / emmc install vs. the earlier SD-based install of cm11, which suggests that the problem is in cm11 itself. On stock firmware (version 2.2.0 I believe when tested), Rayman Jungle Run ran fine (no sound problems at all). The sound problem may be a slowdown problem, but it's not severe.
