I just opened my Nook just now, I set it up thinking it was harmless. Unfortunately, just as I went to go root...I saw that there was a break or something? Does anything work on it now or do I need to play the waiting game again?
I don't know about the HD but there is a root for 2.0.5 that can be mod via CWM, and since this modified CWM is only working for HD+ you probably have to wait. Hopefully somebody will make a modified CWM for the the HD soon that's compatible. The current CWM for HD is meant for the CM10 which write changes to the sd card. So, yes you have to wait, unless you got the HD+ and not HD.

I'm more curious about just getting the google play store on it. That root?
Even for Nook HD, not HD+, your probably doesn't come with 2.0.5 out of the box. If you want GAPPS that much, and doesn't need to use Nook store yet, you can try to force yourself back to older firmware and then you can skip OOBE and then apply all-in-one mod. This should work for HD as well as HD+.
Damnit
Had Root working splendidly on 2.0.4 then Nook HD made a weird ring noise and said there was an update. I didn't want it and said no, but there it was after turning it off and back on again a few hours later after fiddling with GAPPS. I don't really want to factory reset, and have been searching for a way to reroot without bringing back to to previous version. So far it looks as though the directory just won't get made for some reason or another. On the plus side 2.0.5 does get rid of all those pesky multiple copies of every media file you have (but really on have one copy of)
Stuck waiting for an update to "allinone.bat"

Oops this was for hd, so I removed it. Mod may delete this one.

Right now it's only for HD+.
Just for kicks, can I ask why the HD+ has a working root and not the HD? Shouldn't it be the same thing since it's basically the same device and firmware?
I really hope the root for 2.0.5 on the HD is out soon. I'm not in any way a developer, so I am at the mercy of this fabulous forum. I just want the Play store and GAPPS. I'm not one of those who bought it just to put CM or something on it (as there seems to be many like that here). If I just wanted the Android experience, I would have bought a Nexus 7. However, I wanted a 7" e-reader that I thought I might add GAPPS to at some point. My iPad (or any 10" screen) is too big to read on enjoyably, IMHO. I can only hope that a lot of devs got this nice device for Christmas and will want to root it ASAP. Anyway, this post is now officially all over the place, so I'll stop the ranting. Merry Christmas to all!
I just joined this board to ask virtually the same thing and have the same opinion as you. I'm not a developer! And as a primarily iPhone/Apple user am pretty in the dark about rooting/sideloading/CM10 etc. I just bought a Nook assuming I'd either A. get Jellybean on it somehow B. be able to at least access the play store or even C. be content with the stock Nook experience. I think C would be the case if it had ANY games/apps. It's truly a worthless app marketplace.

The answer to both past users is the all-in-one root does work on the HD (for versions 2.0.4 and older). The reason my CWM root (which works on all versions) does not work yet on the HD is there is not a working stock CWM yet (it has different booting files). But there will be soon.

2.0.5 root for nook hd
Hey, guys noob here...Not too familiar with the Android platform...Im use to jailbreaking/unlocking Apple products....My question is, when I first powered up the HD, there was a critical update was that an update to a newer firmware for B&N? Is it possible to restore the HD back the firmware it came with ...All input with be greatly appreciated...Thanks
Leapinlar and bokbokan have released a root method that works for the HD on 2.0.5 now. It requires burning CWM to an sdcard and booting off the sdcard though. Check out leapinlar's thread.

At this point it's possible to restore the HD back a few different ways. The Nook comes with a backup of the out of the box ROM that can be restored via the Nook using what's called 8 boot loop. It's a failsafe that is tirggered when the device is rebooted 8 times during the boot phase. This can be done manually by powering off the device 8 times during boot, or modifying the ROM (/system) which triggers it.
Also as long as we have access to booting the device off the sdcard and access to the Nook's kernel I believe the device will be fairly open and accessible for us to do whatever we want to.

Actually, if you just follow some0ne's guide here, and install a decent launcher (I use Nova Launcher Prime.. gives you NINE desktops!), then you really will have no need for CM10 to have a fully-working rooted experience with the HD+. I'm hoping the HD owners get some love soon, too.. cause I'm aware that not everyone has the $320 to throw out for the 32 GB HD+.. (I personally couldn't settle for anything less than the FULL amount of internal storage, as the expansion slot will only take an additional 64 gb microSD.. or is that 48?_ I dunno.. too early in the morning to remember right now. ha.
For an IT pro such as myself, storage space is EVERYTHING when you're constantly downloading, installing, transferring files from one place to another... When I bought my HD+ 32GB, I also picked up a Sandisk 32GB Class 10 microSD to go along with it. (they were on sale for a mere $26!) I couldn't pass that deal up!)
Anyways, just do as some0ne says and you'll be livin' the "high... err I mean ROOTED LIFE" in no time." -- If you've got an HD+, that is.
Welllllll perhaps I spoke a bit too soon. Just went to run my titanium backup pro and it seems I'm no longer rooted due to B&N cramming the 2.0.5 update down my throat. wtf...

It does not harm the nook. If you don't want it rooted anymore, just do the 8 failed boot procedure.
And if you look at my rooting thread I just walked someone through it last night.

Technically speaking, Nook has Android 4.1.2 (JellyBean) on it, but B&N has limited some of the features. Rooting solves most of those problems, but requires some work arounds indicated in the threads.

Ooops, huh, thought it was 4.1x...
First off, I wanna apologize if the has been discussed.
I see a lot of you broke your device by trying some form of method to fix the device in any fancy way.
I had a friend brick by trying the Cyanoboot method.
First off, assuming you have already got CWM installed via the tutorial that's been posted already.
Secondly, make sure you have some form of way to side load apps onto the device. Be it Dropbox, Google Drive, or maybe your using an ADB method.
Lastly, I have found this to be the easiest way.
So, let's begin. Please make sure you have a way of grabbing ROM Manager, back it up, download an .apk from a Google search or just port it from one device to another via an app.
Once you've found your method of getting the side loaded .apk let's make sure it's installed, any newer version will work(Older versions have been reported of not installing and allowing a proper clean reboot). So let's make sure it's a newer updated version, secondly test it and make sure the version you're using will reboot the device properly without issue. Working? Good.
Now let's use our nifty tool as soon as you have CWM installed, you should get a proper reboot!
This is good.
As a side note, I've had mine give issue and make me wait a few for a full reboot into CWM.
Now you're done!
Flashing ROMs.
It's just as easy as you'd think it'd be as long as you've got a properly packed ROM onto your device.
Note: If you're looking for a tut on porting the ROM, please check the Dev forum as there is a tut posted that is clean and simple using ADB.
Also, there are some that say you can using a cloud storage method.(Try it at your own risk!)
Once you've got your ROM onto Ouya you should check with an explorer to confirm that it was saved onto the device.(I have an issue of downloading things of the Internet with Ouya and them not showing up).
Now, using the method I first mentioned to get into CWM, do so.
You should see an option to search through your internal SD, this would be the next step as we can't/don't have any form of using an external SD, that is if you could connect a flash drive to the back and use it, though I can't confirm it would work.
Lastly, once you've scanned the internal SD and found your ROM, flash it. Sometimes this could take a bit, being my case it took 10m to install Ouya Plus.
If any issues occur, feel free to post and I shall try my best to answer anything!

FAT32 is more or less the "golden" standard for portable devices. glitchhaw, you are aware that exFAT is one of the most laughably locked down filesystems for portable devices out there, right? If you're being official at all, you have to pay royalties to Microsoft to be able to work with exFAT, and I doubt OUYA built support in for that.

i know that I don't like exFAT and that its annoying and glitchy sometimes with android.. but I don't like the fat32 4gb limit.
i wish CWM/TWRP worked with NTFS or EXT, at least they are more reliable.

NTFS support can be added at the kernel level, but I don't know of any recoveries that support it, sadly. And that's unfortunately the nature of the beast, and probably why many recoveries will break files up into multiple archives.

I have to say this is probably the worst how to/tutorial I have seen on XDA.
If you're intent is to help users inexperienced with CWM, then you need to write clearly defined steps. The whole thing is vague. You don't give links to a single file or other tutorial, a how to shouldn't keep telling people to do a Google search for things. On four steps you make people search for files or another how-to.
What is the new version of Rom manager? How do you make sure it will reboot the device properly? Be specific.
You say flashing Roms is easy as long as you have a properly packed Rom. How does one go about checking that? How do you flash the Rom?
This is what a how-to is supposed to include. This is equivalent to just telling people GIYF and RTM.

There's no need to bash peoples thread first of all.
And secondly, you'll be reported for this.
As of how to to do this, I can't always "be specific" like you want when I post a good amount of this from my phone, so do be prepared for a tut that's not fully helpful.
Lastly, I HIGHLY doubt that you've read every tut on here, and trust me, I've seen so much worse that go down to the nick of; "If you wipe and install first, this version will fully brick the device, this version will half brick it".
So explain to me, since I've made ROM packages, I've had more tuts than just this, what do you wanna see more in a tutorial from me? Tell me and I'll try my best to help.
Don't go barging in with the intent of anger in mind and begin bashing me to the fullest.
Most people PM me and I give them what they need if they can't find it, as for you? Nuh uh, after this, NO is my final answer.

You reported me for what? That your feelings are hurt?
Ostensibly you created this tutorial to prevent people from bricking their OUYAs. That is why I was expecting a detailed walkthrough and was very disappointed. You created a tutorial on your phone that is lacking vital info that I have already detailed. I did not bash you to the fullest. You admit that your tut is not fully helpful, and I've seen other comments on another tut of yours that were a great deal harsher than mine about your motivation to post a poorly written tut.
I apologize for the severity of my opening line. I was and am annoyed that the "how-to" does not provide any info vital to users so that they don't brick their OUYA. Every time they are sent elsewhere for a file or info there is a risk of getting bad info or a malicious or corrupt apk. I outlined a lot of the information I think should be included. If I had all the answers I'd have included those as well, but I am here because I thought I could learn something. Maybe I still will.

I'm sorry, tell me what you think I'm missing and I'll add the quote to the OP.
I plan on doing a video tut though.

this is the worst tutorial I've ever read on xda. mods please take down this how to brick your ouya tutorial before people start downloading wrong files and bricking there ouya.
Okay where is your full proof method of rooting and installing cwm on the ouya?

Going by the threads opened/posts by this fellow, maybe a sticky to let people know who to avoid is needed.

Hi
I have been reading alot about rooting Nook HD+ and I came to conclusion that I am rather confused. There are alot of tutorials and methods, and there has been a recent update to Nook recently. Some files seem to old some files not so sure if they are applicable or not.
I want to root it so that I can use adaway with my Nook HD and HD+. I do not want to install Mods, I do not want to do any other tricky Android OS stuff for now. I just need to eb able to root it.
I installed the SDK and I have a working adb usb bus now. I can send files files using the android adb command.
Which method of rooting is applicable to HD and HD+ nowadays?. I am kinf of tired of trying to locate an up to date information and the more I read the more I get confused about this process. So please help and give me a link/reply that works fine nowadays.
thanks

With any stock version above 2.0.4, the only way to root stock is to use my CWM method in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And once you get it rooted, heed my warning about how to set up adaway so it will not reset your device.

leapinlar, thank you for following up my thread.
I am going through your thread and I am again confused about one issue here. Which file is the boot related zip ? You are not referencing the names of the files in your detailed thread which makes it harder to follow actually. You have alot of information, thanks for your time however if you can name the files you want people to add, unzip, boot whatever that would be really incredibly helpful.
The other question I have is about Nook HD. Is that thread also applicable to HD all the way?
thanks

Now you are confusing me. What is the "boot related zip"? You mean the BOOTFILES? If so, it is the one with "BOOTFILES" in the name and ends in rar, not zip. And I don't name the files in the text since there is generally two versions for each file, one for the HD and one for the HDplus, and the text would get very tedious with all those names. Just look for HD in the title in your case and read the rest of the words to understand what they are for.
And if they have HD-HDplus in the title, they work for both.

Yes, I wanted to thank user leapinlar as well.
That post of yours was invaluable. I just picked up an SD Card, put the BOOTFILES, the extras and the Universal root zips on it and did all that you mentioned. It worked perfectly.
P.S: I'd like to add that I have a brand new nook (bought from B&N store in July 2013) and it booted from the SD Card at the first try. I mention this because you had said that this is sometimes an issue (hopefully B&N fixed it)
Yes I was wondering if theres a way to perm root the nook hd plus it has the 2.2 software on it. I see theres bootable sd cards for a dual mode boot. I would like to be able to have perm root if possible where I could still use my sd card which is 32gb

This is possible Verygreen created a way to do this and Leapinar has added it to his system which may be more to your liking. I am at work right now and can't get the links for you.

I did it on the HD+ with software version 2.2. I am currently running verygreen CM 10.2.1 with Android 4.3.1. It is very stable and responsive. I had a the screen flash a few times at first but as soon as I got the gapps installed and updated that went away. I am a noon at doing this but I eventually figured it out within a day. If you want the nook app you have to Google it and download it from the web because it is not available on the Google play store. I hope this helps some.

It depends on what you mean by root. People use that term loosely to mean two different things. Rooting really just means adding root access to an existing ROM. If that is what you mean, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and follow that for adding root access to stock. Some people mistakenly call replacing stock with a different rooted ROM as 'rooting'. It is not, it is replacing your stock ROM with one that happens to be rooted. If that is what you meant, go to e.mote's dummies guide for installing CM10.1/CM10.2 (also linked in my signature) to replace stock on internal memory. Either will be 'permanent'.

Hi all,
I've just purchased the NOOK HD+ from a refurbished seller and all run smoothly except for browsing, which is one of my main request.
Using integrated Chrome browser the Nook completely crashes and reboot after a while or after visiting high-graphic web sites... one for all, Italian news channel www ansa it
Tried to use different other web browser, like Dolphin, FlashFox, etc and all crashes... ONLY FireFox "seems" not having such problem, but I did not spend so much time testing it...
Flash and in general Web-Videos don't work at all... I know this is a classical issue with Android, but I'd like to have video at least on FireFox, which is actually the only browser is working on my Nook HD
Tried to install some new software but I always get Impossible to install from unknow sources... tried to find out a specific guide for my stock (hope to define it right, so that my Nook is using a micro-SD card to save things...?!?)... but the guides I found are older before September 2013 and I dunno if they are ok for my Nook...
On some sites I read that there could be a problem on the microSD card of my device. Since the device is refurbished, MAYBE there could be any previous data remained on the SD and so I'd like to know if there is a way to get rid of it... Can I just extract the SD card and format it with my Windows PC?
I know I've written a long list, but I wanted to summarize the whole problems I have at the moment, before returning the device at the eBay seller...
If any of you could give me an advice, a web link or anything else... I'll really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance and see you,
Andrea Colussi

Chrome is notoriously bad on Android, particularly jellybean. Use Firefox. Also flash does not work on jellybean.
To get unknown sources working, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Use that to flash my unknown sources zip. I also have a zip there so that stock saves things to microSD. All that is still valid.

Dear Leapinlar,
many thanks for your quick reply.
IMPORTANT: I'd like to install CM on my Nook HD+ 9 with preinstalled micro-SD, but before I'd like to understand if the browser reboot issue, which happen with quite all browsers except FireFox, if it could be an hardware problem or not. If you have any suggestion on this, it would be really appreciated. I was wondering if I could format the microSD card of the Nook, just to check if this could be the reason.
Next, I'll try to follow your tread on the CM install... I think that then I could install flash plug.in without any problem... do you know of any incompatibility with the NOOK, I mean bluetooth or similar not working on CM?
Thanks again in advance.

I'm afraid you lost me. What do you mean preinstalled micro-sd? Do you mean you bought an SD with an operating system already installed on it?
And the reboot issue is likely not a hardware issue with internal memory. But a bad SD could cause issues depending on how you are using it. If you meant you were running CM or stock from the SD, then yes it could be the issue.
And depending on which version of CM you choose, yes there can be issues of features not working.

Again thanks for the reply.
I mean that I have a microSD already installed on my NOOK HD+ 9 16GB (which I purchases from eBay: ebay...it/itm/111202317715?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648) and it uses it for storing apps or other stuff. That's why I was wondering if the microSD could be the problem for the rebooting issue... The reboot it's very strange, it happens on quite all browser when I surf high graphic websites... so I thought it could be an hardware issue.
Regarding the CM, if I'll give a try to it, I'd like to go with the much stable release... I followed "[NOOK HD/HD+] Installing CyanogenMod 10.1/10.2 for Dummies" and so I think 10.1-10.2 are the best version of CM to try using... What's better Sideload or directly installing CM, nowadays? My first needs are the following:
- Try to fix the reboot issue on great part of the browsers I'm using
- Let me install flash plugin and use it to browse website with video content... I found that there is a NOOK plug-in but many guys tell that it's possible to install it only from the States and I've also found that is required credit card for downloading it... Another possibility is to install an old flash plugin version, which I found, but my Nook told me "cannot install from Unknow Sources".
Have a nice day and again, thanks for your kindness

The Italian eBay listing he linked is for a 16GB HD+, there's no mention of a micro-SD card being included. I think what he means by "preinstalled micro-sd" is the 16GB internal memory - it looks like a straightforward misunderstanding, probably compounded by not writing in his native language (in fact the eBay listing is in English as well - it's a UK seller).
Yeah the 16 gb is just the on board hard drive.

if the others are right and you were referring to the built in memory in your device, then that is not likely the cause of your problem. Do not format it.
I recommend you put CM10.1.3 stable on internal memory as guided in the dummies guide you referenced. But I still think you will have problems with flash player. But other video players will work.

Thank you ALL for the replies.
Yeah, it wasn't a language misunderstanding, but I really though to have an already installed SD-Card on my 16GB Nook HD+, that's why I doung a folder called SD-CARD on the folder tree of the device... and so I misinterpreted it... sorry!
What is my first concern is the fact that the device continues rebooting using either built-in Chrome, Dolphin, FlashFox or other installed browser except for the original FireFox, which does not include, unfortunatelly a flash plug-in.
Anyway this are in brief what I'd like to do:
- First understand the reboot issue and fix it, maybe returning the device to the UK supplier and having another one back
- Once fixed the hardware physical reboot I'd like to have flash running, without having to pay for a specific browser who just run the flash on its website and give me back a different video (some websites with games/fiction streaming cannot work this way). So I've already 2 solutions for this, but I'd like to hear also your point of view:
a. There is a Nook plug-in for browser, which can be purchased (free) and which should give support for flash plug-in... unfortunately I didn't tried it since it seems to work only for US customers network
b. Is it possible to install (on Android) a previous version flash plug-in, still available on Adobe archives... unfortunately my Nook said me I cannot install software apk files from unknown sources... that's why I thought about either enable ADB scripting on the device or installing the CM software, as suggested here on this forum
That's the whole thing and if you have any further suggestion, I'll really appreciate.

I doubt that you will get flash working on jellybean android. Adobe dropped support and I'm not sure you can ever get it working.
And as far as enabling unknown sources on stock, you can do that by going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and making a bootable CWM SD per item 1a there and using that to flash my zip to enable unknown sources.
And as I said earlier, I doubt it is a hardware issue on your browsers crashing. There obviously are software glitches with the sites you are visiting.

Can someone with a Nook HD+ test browsing for 1-2 minutes arount www ansa it and let me know if they have any fault on the Nook? Also many many other sites crashes and make the Nook rebooting...so either a hardware problem or another missing driver?
3. you are also tell me that I cannot see streaming websites or other sites that use flash? so not flash at all on the Nook device???

I also went to that site with a stock HD running chrome that came with it. No problems. But that does not necessarily mean yours is a hardware issue. It could be some other software that you have installed causing the issue. I would suggest you erase and deregister to clean out installed apps and register again and see if you still have the problem.

Just to share here what I found for the adobe flash (I wrote the addresses incomplete, since I cannot still publish web links on XDA forum...):

Stock means the operating system that is installed on the device as shipped from Barnes and Noble.
And that tutorial on how to set up unknown sources is referring to my thread I referenced earlier. It is the same exact way just explained in more detail. The tutorial is good and very detailed but is a little out of date. The "extras rev3" zip is no longer available but you can use the unknown sources zip from my thread and it does the same thing.
But I still think it is a software issue with your device instead of hardware. Set up the bootable SD as explained in detail in that unknown sources tutorial and use it to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 in my thread and follow that with a factory reset with CWM and your device will be completely wiped and re-setup with fresh stock like it came from the factory. It does more than an erase and deregister. Hopefully that will take care of your rebooting issue. If it does not fix it then you best exchange it.
The rest of your links look ok, but I know nothing about those and you are on your own.
