Hello,
Just purchased 2 Nook HD with the intent of running the 'double boot' CM 10.1, so we could choose on startup. In one of them, it seems to work fine, but the other one never displays the boot screen of CWM. This is a a bit of a problem since one cannot see what to boot. I eventually made a sd card which would only boot 10.1 (i.e. without the dual boot possibility) which eventually will boot cm 10.1. Upon searching the development thread on the dual boot card, I saw that there are different screens on the nooks. I saw a post about checking the options passed to the kernel (msprag13 and some replies as well) Since I could boot both machines I did check and the one where CWM gives us the boot screen is AUO and the one that shows nothing is a LGD. Just curious to know if there is any progress on this? The problem seems to be in CWM and not CM 10.1
I know unix quite well but his android hacking is a bit new to me...

Bokbokan is on vacation so I will answer for him. The last I talked to him, he was not able to fix it. He does not own the LGD device so he can't test it. It is an issue in uImage which is the 2nd bootloader and also is what displays the menu. Maybe someone wants to loan their LGD device to him so he can fix it.
But you can accomplish the booting between the ROMs by installing an app from Play Store. Get Quick Boot by Sirius Applications. With that you can select bootloader and it will boot to stock. And if you are rooted on stock you can install it there and choose reboot to go back to CM.

Hello,
Thanks for the hint. We'll try that too, but it will probably be in CM10.1 most of the time. We're in Sweden and don't have US credit cards so stock isn't that useful, though we are able to read ADE protected books from the library with the stock ROM.
If you want someone to compile and test things in the LGD device we can probably give it a try. I generally use Linux (gentoo) so I am familiar with compiling things though I'd probaby have to update gcc to handle other architectures. But I'm not afraid of looking at source code (I've had to do that for some programs that gentoo didn't have) , so if I can help let me know.

He has his source for the u-boot.bin posted on his OP. This is what eventually gets built as uImage. If you want you can download it and look at it. The files of interest are in /board/bn_hummingbird.
And you can still have the Hybrid without the menu. It boots Hybrid automatically. And using his power off menu in CM10.1, you can get to recovery.

Hello...
I recently installed CWM and setup a dual-boot enviroment following the instructions over at AddictiveTips(I can't post a link apparently, sorry! Google will help you find it) but after I flashed everything, I restarted to boot into Honeycomb, but no matter what I did, it continually booted into my rooted stock. Any ideas as to how to fix this?
Same issue
Having the same issue. Did you find a work around? Think it may have to do with the overclocked HC?
Found Fix
Went to the 'Flashable eMMC dual boot ROMs' thread and grabed the 'Flashable dual boot HC v04 with gapps' rom and flashed using CMR v3.0.0.5 on the same SDCard. Was able to boot to HC by holding down the home button then.
Think it may be a HW thing. This particular nook is spankin new. It has a SN of 20106600.... and is MN BNRV200, SV 1.1.0. Purchased from BN during their 199 sale. I read on nook devs (i think) about issues with some roots on devices with SN higher then 1030... or something like that.
Not sure if this removed the overclocking or not. Probably did. Really would like to overclock the little bugger though.
I'm going to try on a older device, my own. The new one is my wifes who determined she wanted one after using mine and I couldn't have her running around with an unrooted device. I'll report back if overclocked version works on the older device.
Issue with waking up from android going right to Original
Turns out my device has a high SN as well. Overclocked HC image didn't work on it either.
Hi all!
I just updated my Nook from an old Phiremod build to MIUI 1.8.5, and I love it! However I see (because of the CyanogenMod logo, and the subsequent menu) that the new advanced boot menu was baked into the ROM. Now this seems to be a lot more awesome than the old-fashioned multi-uBoot, and I can boot into Normal and Recovery just fine... however my other ROM on the eMMC won't boot. I've actually done this to two NCs, my mothers and my own. My mother's had Stock 1.1 rooted on the alt partition. Mine had a build of Honeycomb. Both hang whenever I select Boot Alt then Reboot!
Is there any way to recover these old partitions? If not, that's not a big deal. it would just be nice.
More important however:
How can I, using the new Boot Menu, have my Normal boot be CM/MIUI/Whatever, and my ALT boot be (preferably rooted and OC'd) Stock 1.2? Please help, I'm going back to school and would love to have Stock for studying... and as of this point, my mother's under the impression that I broke her Nook Color, so I'm in hot water!
Please!
Thanks!
EDIT: found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156909 This MAY be the solution to my problem. Going to try it and see where it leads. Silly me only looking for the solution in the Android Development section, not the General section. Will post back soon, for now, IGNORE ME!
Yeah this totally looks like the solution to my problems. It seems to be using Multi-uBoot 0.4 as opposed to the boot menu, but I'm just going to do what I do best: blindly follow instructions and pray that all will be well. I strongly believe it will be. Should I run into any problems, I'll just rewrite this thread and go from there. Happy Nooking everyone!
I've been trying to find answers to all my questions but it's hard when I haven't been keeping up with the CM7 process, so I'll just start with the simplest I have
I am currently running CM7.0.3, can I update to Nightly 177 without clearing anything? (or should I update to 7.1 RC instead of 177)
The other question that I have that might be able to have an easy answer...is there any place I can go that tells me all the features of CM7 on Nook? I know a lot has changed in between 7.0.3 and now...their release notes are confusing because it deals a lot with fixes and backend that I don't need to know. Alternatively, if someone would wanna outline the changed/additions, that'd be awesome too!
7.1RC is pretty stable. I just updated to 176 the other day though and it's been almost as stable (a random freeze here or there.)
For updating, all you need to do is clear dalvik cache. You can keep all your apps, settings, etc.
As to what's really new, I'm not sure of all the changes. I know the kernel included in 176 allows for OCing to 1200MHz so that's nice. Hopefully someone else can chime in with what the big stuff is.
You can safely update to 177 either with ROM Manager if installed on the eMMC or by dropping the 177 .zip file onto the boot partition of the SD card if running off of the card. All you need to wipe is Davlik in either case.
You're not telling us how you run CM7, from eMMC or uSD.
if you do flash to n177 you'll also need this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dalingrin.nookcolortweaks&feature=search_result
thanks for the replies guys! Sorry, i forgot to mention that I'm currently running it off eMMC.
@boxcar8028 Thanks for the link that app!
This kinda brings me to the other question i had that I'm currently reading through the post for, but I'll ask here if anyone knows the answer...
I'd really like to do duel boot CM7 and B&N 1.3. Is it possible for me to go from where I am, update to 177 (or 7.1RC or anything like that), back that up and then do the duel boot from that file? That way I don't lose anything and I'm able to get duel boot?
I'm reading through ikingblack's post, but there is 17 pages and I don't have much time to spend on the forums unfortunately, so it'll take me a while to get all the way through!
Thanks again everyone!
I always prefer updating CM7 using CwM uSD card, not using ROM Manager.
Pop the new image into the uSD's root folder, boot up then install zip from there.
Note: you might (and most likely) run into the Market issue, don't panic, everyone of us got hit.
If you want to use stock 1.3, then I suggest spend $25 purchasing a 16G Sandisk uSD and boot CM7 off it.
bumping this in hopes someone can tell me what's new still...
@votinh, I don't like the idea of booting off the SD card because although many have not had any issues, many others have plus I like the idea of it actually being on there. if anything I'd love to be able to run the B&N software off a SD, but as far as I know the person who was working on that stopped and no one else has.
I'm just about to update to RC7.1 but now I'm hearing that the sleep of death issue is back, so I'm not sure about it. I'm pretty sure that it was fixed around 7.0.3 or before right?
We or at least I don't know what the new/additions/fixes/enhancements on the front-end of CM7 but what we know is their development logs:

Hi,
Firstly ought to say thanks to verygreen et al. for the awesome cyanogen mod, have 10.1.3 up and running on a nook hd+ mand it's great.
I'm trying to get: h-t-t-p-s://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygotablet&hl=en_GB to work on the nook hd+ with cyanogenmod, they have some pretty extreme protection measures against rooted devices. I've read just about the whole 292 pages of the thread on Sky Go (The mobile version) to work out how I might go about getting it to work.
I've tried manually moving su, and OTA rootkeeper, and changing ro.tags to "release-keys" in build.prop, I'm just taking a backup now to try changing ro.secure to 1 in default.prop in initrd.gz. (I couldn't figure out another way to get hold of the boot image, am I missing something obvious?).
Basically wanted to know if I'm fighting a losing battle here - or if there some way to actually unroot cyanogenmod that I'm not aware of. Don't really want to have to go back to stock to get this working, but the tablet is for the Mrs and I think she'd really like Sky Go.....
I know in the previous version people had some success running with a stock kernel - does anyone know if it's possible to replace the Cyanogenmod kernel with the stock nook one?
Cheers
Hello guys,
Forgive me on the newbie questions. I didn't know where to start reading.
It looks like a lot. So, I am hoping for simple and easy to do list to get this to work.
I have websites like NHL.com, MLB.com and NFL.com which I have legal logins to try to
log in to and watch the on my nook but it won't download the app for that sport, or I can't get it to work with the stock browsers that it comes with along with Dolphin or Puffin free and pro. I want to work like it does on my computer and work on my nook.
At the time I didn't realize this device did not have flash embedded in and would not have bought it if I new it then. I am looking to trade it maybe if anyone is interested in swapping out this table for a table that is equal and would have flash working with it. I am open to that.
I have tried all of them They will work but it is extremely bad. Buffers all the time or won't download, and the usual hits keep coming for reasons it doesn't work do to the fact the BN tablet is not friendly with the nook and doesn't work by default. Also doesn't work on WWE.com. Yes, I am a huge sports fan but it is what it is.
What I am wanting to know if i do some rooting and side loading, will this work for me?
Will flash work with out me downloading anything else and installing anything else besides the roms and whatever is needed for cyanogenmod & Roms.
Can anyone help me with the right links and what to do and how to do it?
I have a dedicated SD card I bought for this reason alone. But, again if I download cyanogenmod and other software I need. Will this be the ends meet I need.
Another words will flash work well like it does non a computer if I decided to go this route.
My nook is over a year old so it's probably out of warranty. So, I am know about that issue.
PLEASE HELP ME GET FLASH TO WORK WELL ON THIS DEVICE, PERTTTTY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
No help & Possible Trading Device, The Nook with someone?
So,
Know one has any advice on how to help me with my flash & Nook HD+ 2.2.0 software version issue.
I need to figure out how to get flash on to it, through normal procedures.
Or the cyanogenmod and others to get flash on it?
If I choose the cyanogenmod route will this help me get flash on it and work.
For instance I will go to ESPN.com a known flash website.
When I am in non-mobile mode it says flash needs to be downloaded. It takes me to it.
But, the choices are not obviously for the Nook Color HD+, correct?
Can any one give me some advice on how I can get flash to work good?
I am past my warranty so I am aware of that.
I have tried other work around such as puffin free and paid version browsers and Dolphin. They all work, but work like crap. Lagging
big time or not working at all. I have tried The browser plugin which supposedly is suppose to help but doesn't or I am not doing things
correctly which is entirely likely.
I would really appreciate some one who can guide me through the cyanogenmod process. I have a SD card and I am willing to try it.
I don't care which versions I have just as flash works well. That is what i need to happen.
A lot of the sports programs I mentioned earlier do not work on their websites like NHL.com or MLB,com.
I can't even download their apps do to not compatible.
Again I would really appreciate the help. Just need some good old fashion help from some one.
I am also willing to trade the device to some one if they want for a table that will work just as well as this one that does what I need it to do if that is a option to some of you folks?

To use install and run Flash, you'd need to install and run custom ROM such as CM11, or to root your current stock ROM (your stock ROM v2.2 is based on Android version 4.0, so Flash should install and run on it once it's rooted).
Flash for Android 4.0 can be downloaded from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html.

What to download? Part #2
Hey guys,
Just to make sure I downloaded two versions of flash files just to be safe.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
From that link above.
I downloaded the one for 4.0 and 2.x I think it says on their download links.
Was that the correct flash to download?
Still need advice on what to do with my android software, will I need to update that first then download the CM 11 software.
Just not sure what process to take. sorry it's confusing to me at the moment.
I will stop babbling on. Sorry.
Excited to here your suggestions on help.
Thanks again peeps, Karl
