I bought a Nook HD and would like to try out CM10 via an SD card installation. I've read through a lot the android developer forum topics, but I am confused as to what the SD card installation actually does.
I am following the steps for "CM10 sdcard Installer" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063968
I used PlugPBX to format and write the IMG file to my SD card.
Before I plug it into my Nook HD, I like to know what it means in step 5: 'Wait for it to finish installation." Does this mean the package from the SD card will install CM10 to the internal memory? Or does that just set it up on the SD card? After doing it this way, am I still able to remove the SD card and reboot to go back to the stock Nook OS?
Sorry, for the noob questions, but I didn't want to do anything that might not be easily reversible, possibly void the warrant, or make it so I can't return the Nook HD within B&N's 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!

What that is referring to is the SD needs to make more changes to prepare the SD for installing CM. It creates more partitions on the SD and formats them so a ROM can be installed to it later. No changes are being made to your internal memory or stock setup. Then you still need to install the actual CM ROM. And at any time, when powered off, you can remove the SD and boot to stock as if nothing were ever done to it.

Thanks for the reply!
To flash the ROM I just put cm-10-20130101-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird.zip from the link in the OP on the root of the SD card and install via the CM recovery, right?
Then do I need to flash the Gapps separately?
The order doesn't matter and I don't need to wipe anything in between right?
The order does matter, ROM first and gapps second. But you don't have to wipe anything.
And why are you choosing that old CM10 ROM from January? Use the latest CM10.1 ROM, you will be happier. And if you do, you will need a newer gapps too. Gapps-20130301-jb-signed.zip. Get it from goo.im.
And no, you do not put the CM ROM on the root partition, since recovery will not see it there. Follow the directions in the OP to get it where recovery can see it.

Hello all.
I have an issue.
I recently installed cm10 on the nook color. Recently IN cm10, it stopped reading the sd card....but i could boot to cwm from the sd card....BUT while in cwm it wouldnt read the sd card >.>
So. I made it think the internal memory was the sd card, installed rom manager, and got it to "flash" cwm into internal memory...although everytime i try to reboot into recovery, it reboots and then "install failed" pops up. (Sd card removed)...it doesnt seem like it flashed anything at all.
I honestly just want the default nook color back >.<
Help?

That message is from the stock recovery on emmc. So that means Rom Manager did not install anything. If you just want stock back on emmc, go to my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A10 to make a bootable CWM SD and item A15 to get a stock 1.4.3 rom to flash with it. You will be back to pure stock.

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? Then is there an option in the clockwork mod to upgrade the zip file so I do not loose my installed stuff on my rooted SD card boot? What is the option in clockwork to do it correctly?

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.

: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.

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.

I have tried like 3 times and every time nothing happens. I put the gapps and a file named "cm-10-20130511-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard" onto and sd card. Reboot it into recovery, delete system files, install those two etc, and it always is still cyanogen 10.2 every single time. I want cyanogenmod 10 so that I will be able to play with wii remotes and bluetooth and stuff and yeah. That was one of the main reasons I wanted my nook. If there are any other ways to do that, that would be great as well. And then two more things, when I reinstall and delete system files, all the stuff ont he internal memory are still there and I don't know if it is supposed to be like that? And then another problem with my nook is that sometimes when I try to unlock it the screen just blinks and won't open no matter what and I just have to reboot. And lastly, when I am charging the nook it always jsut keeps blinking no matter what I try. If you could respond asap that would be great, I kinda need it for school and don't feel like installing everything if it won't be permanent. Thanks a lot!
TLDR; I have a lot of issues with my nook!
Yes, you have a lot of questions in that post. First, explain a little better what you are running. That CM10 zip is for an SD install and I am betting you are running CM10.2 on internal memory.
And wiping with CWM usually does not delete media files from internal memory.
And the unlock screen problem is probably the magnet in you cover. Open the cover twice to get around it.
Don't know the problem about charging/blinking.

All I remember is that what I installed the cm 10.2 with is 2 zip files from an sd card, and did the same as I did when I tried 10. However, when I did 10.1 (What i weas running before all of this) I installed through a bootable sd card with zip files. And how do I get rid of stuff on internal? Do i need to? Thanks for all the other answers too. And is the file name I even sent you cm 10? Just want to make sure so I am not being stupid. Also the stuff on my sd card is still all the same I just used a different external sd card for the install. (Which I would rather do if possible)
You probably installed CM10.1 and CM10.2 to internal memory. That is why that one marked sdcard will not work. I don't think there are any CM10 zips that will work on internal memory. They are all for SD. (You can tell because the say 'sdcard' in the name.) Why is it you think you need CM10? If you want it you must install it on SD. There is a thread for it in the dev section. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35087686
If you want to wipe the media files off of internal with CWM, go to mounts and storage and choose 'format data and datamedia'. That will clear the media files. But you do not need to do that unless you are worried others will see it. It makes no difference to installing things.

Ok, is the emmc one the one that I can install on the internal memory? And i dont get it because it says to use the same install method for the one that I did and you say that that install message is wrong. And then, can I still have stuff on my sd card while it has the install on it or does it have to just be for the install. And then for gapps and cwm do I have to install those again? sorry for my stupidity
Yes both the SD install and the emmc install use a bootable CWM SD to install them. But the CWM SDs are different. The CWM menu is the same, but one is coded to install the ROM on internal memory (emmc) and one is coded to put the ROM on the same SD that the CWM is on.
For a long time only SD installs were available, then the developer figured out how to install to emmc. Now almost all ROM zips are for emmc.
You did not answer my question about why you think you need CM10. You said something earlier about wii. I don't think CM10 on the HD supported wii.
You are just too confused to be helped. I suggest you read a lot more.

Sorry I wrote this whole thing to you and then accidently deleted it, the only reason I actually need it is for wii remotes to work via bluetooth. The newer cyanogenmods and android builds broke it so it supposedly only works in cyanogenmod 10
And then in response to the last one, all i need to do is install the emmc? Do i need the newer gapps or cwm? And i just do it the same way as i did before?

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 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.
