I literally just opened my Nook HD+ fresh out of the box tonight. I was trying to get Google Play store onto it for my parents, but then it automatically updated to 2.0.5 and beeped at me without any prompting. Just a few hours later and it's now trying to update to 2.0.6.
Looks like a picked a bad day to try and get a decent app store onto this thing. I'm having zero luck with SD booting as well, despite following the guides to the letter.

Yes, I purposely updated to see if my cwm zips still work. They do. So you can still do everything as noted in my HD/HD+ CWM thread.
Edit: The white-on-white repair does not work on 2.0.6. Don't use it.

So if I already have the white-on-white repair and I get updated to 2.0.6, will I be in trouble?

Do you have to reinstall them? I have gapps+ extras if I update will I need to reflash it?
EDIT: Nevermind, I tried it and all seems well, no re installation needed

I updated manually (downloaded file from B&N then dragged it onto internal storage folder), let it update software, powered off, inserted CWM SD card, then re-flashed the Root zip and the Gapps zip only. Worked flawlessly. Have root back and Play Store working. All apps continued to work (except Play Store) even before I reflashed the CWM zips.
Changes I noticed in the stock features, some kind of pointless and some kind of nice:
1) While on the lock screen, my profile icon now periodically shoots out little white waves at the lock icon (reminds me of Aquaman talking to fish!)
2) Speaking of Aquaman, the stock reader has improved but not 100% fixed comic reading capabilities. Double page spreads in .cbz files wouldn't display correctly previously, but they do now--most of the time...They sometimes slip out of the correct aspect ratio now, but that is fixed by activating the thumbnails at the bottom of the screen and tapping on the thumbnail of the page you're trying to view. Kind of a pain still.
3) It seems like the SD card isn't getting checked/or indexed as often or for as long now, but I could be wrong. I'll keep an eye on this.
4) Notifications popup is slightly different
5) Stock browser seems faster, with pages loading far more quickly
6) Stock Library icon is brown and white now instead of white and blue (?!)
There are probably more that I haven't stumbled across yet.

To answer the question so others know. You only lose root with the update to 2.0.6. All others (except white-on-white) remain.

Yep--I tried it several times (after the B&N update installed and before I reflashed zips) and the Play Store crashed as soon as it started to open each time. Once I reflashed the CWM zips, everything is working fine.

Didn't see it last night
Hi,
I guess this is a new version that I don't want to deal with, because after buying the Nook HD+ from Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago, as soon as it connects to the web aka registering the device process, it will update itself.
Just got version 2.0.5 last night, because I messed with a sys file after rooting my HD+ using leapinlar's method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811322#post35811322. After unsuccessfully using verygreen CM10 SD Card, got to know leapinlar's just root method.
Now I succesfully have verygreen's CM10 on my SD card. I can sleep in peace.

Yup, I'm rooted and on 2.0.6.whatever and everything seems to be fine and the touch issues I was having before are not a thing, but since then I've put on a matte protector that my finger glides across instead of stutters as it did on the rather grippy glass. Remember kids bootloop restart and when its looking for an update power off before it finishes and power back up, you'll be on the earliest possible firmware for your device. then turn off wifi, insert your CWM card and run your zips and reboot (if you're afraid of 2.0.6).

White-on-white fix?
Any way to modify the white-on-white fonts in 2.06 rooted?

Yes, the same way we came up with 2.0-2.0.5. You can do it manually(recompile) it, or just wait for leapinlar and he will post one at the usual place.
Aside from that, what exactly is new on 2.0.6 other than to piss us off?

Mine also just updated to 2.0.6, my wife mentioned the screen went on without touching our hd+. I use it to read our newspaper daily and the screen didn't respond well for zooming and going to another page. Never thought that was an hd+ issue, but now after the update it looks I'm able to go through the newspaper ten times quicker. I think everything still works

No, it will replace it. But from others I think the update will fail if you have the white on white installed. It will stay at what you have.

Yes, I will do it when I get time and post it. But be aware of the new issue if you do, any update in the future will fail. You will have to restore a backup that you made before the white on white was installed. Then it will update.

Thanks in advance for the effort - IMHO, a fix is worth some pain as some apps/websites are near useless without a fix.

Yep. It is looking for the unmodified framework-res.apk. Restore your backup. If it has not been that long ago, just selectively restore /system. You may have to flash some of the zips again later.

Grrr, my CM 10.1 test Nook HD+ got updated today too. SD was removed (i screwed up CM 10.1 install) for rewrite with new image. Battery was low and i put it to charge. Bummm, it powered up and updated itself, even that it was rooted 2.0.2 and with OTA manual.

It still causes a boot-image loop when I try to boot off the SD with the zip installed. I can't try the internal emmc at the moment due to my nook being used and I can't risk breaking any apps.

I did it internally on an EMMC burn and it works very well.

I've attached some screenshots of the tablet bar in case anyone was curious. Got my Nook yesterday BTW and I must say CM10.1 is dang fine.

All of a sudden today, 4 different app won't work. When I try to uninstall then reinstall it say there's not enough room and that I need to make space, I know that's not the problem cause I have more than enough room, and it doesn't matter how much more room I make. I've cleared dalvik cache and fixed permissions but no change. Is there anything I can do? Or do I need to make a new card. I run mine off an SD install by the way.

Did you clear the dalvik, etc using my Alternate CWM for SD? If you used the internal CWM, you cleared dalvik for what you have on internal memory.

What size SD are you using. And what is the brand and class. I know in CM10 if it did not like how your SD was responding, it would mount some of the SD as read only. If that happened to /data, that would make apps not work right and not install properly.
Go to /data with your root file manager and see if you can create a file there.

If you install CM10.1 to internal memory, no. It replaces stock and those things only work on stock. However there is an Android version of the Nook reader app that works on CM10.1.
But if you install CM10.1 to SD, stock is left intact and you can dual boot.

saving apps to sdcard

Hi all, so far I am a little disappointed in CyanogenMod for 10.1 for the nook HD. The main reason I rooted the nook was so I could save apps to my SD card (8gb internal doesn't cut it). Also I have been having problems with the tablet now getting stuck in a lock screen cycle. Does anyone know how to move apps to the SD card, or why I get stuck in the lock screen cycle?

Apps2sd is not supported in CM10.1 on the HD/HD+. But you can go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my SDswap zip for official CM10.1 and it will make it so you can have your media files on external SD by default. That will give you more room.
And the lock screen issue is probably the magnet in your case. There is a bug in CM10.1 where you must open the cover twice before the unlock will work.

No, CM10 or CM11 don't either. To get more room for apps, move some of your media files to external SD. That is why I suggested the swap. Media files and apps share the same limited space on emmc. And for the 8GB HD that can be tight.
And the reason apps2sd is not supported is the default sdcard (internal) is emulated and is actually a part of /data on internal. That is why it shares the same free space as apps. So it would not free any space to put apps on the emulated SD.

You have 5GB of apps installed? That's how much space you should have with no media files. You could have some big game apps that store their game data on the internal SD. Those count as media files and can be moved to external SD with the swap.
