Hi,
Just bought a sealed hd+ 32gb and been reading all the threads for a few weeks. I dont want to use the stock nook system but want to run from a 32gb sd card. shall i still run through the stock nook setup where it updates , logsin to b&n account etc??? i though it may help to not allow this as it will update the software to version 2.0.6 automatically , which i understand makes some mods more difficult. I dont want to allow the auto updating of stock b&n software in the future ?
Also can you recommend the easiest instructions to follow to install the most stable CM10 version on an 32gb sandisc 4 sd card?
Any thoughts would be really appreciated Thanks
You probably should go ahead and boot to stock and let it update and register. If you do not want to register, look at my HD/HD+ Tips thread linked in my signature for skipping the OOBE. Then any time it tries to boot to stock, it can complete. Updating to 2.0.6 will have no effect on running things from SD.
As far as installing CM10 on SD, you have two choices, install the Original SD or my Hybrid SD. I have easy install guides for both also linked in my signature.

thanks for the quick reply.
Is it possible for b&N to stop the ability to boot from sd card with a software update?

No, unless they change the hardware it will always boot.

Given that CM 10.1 is still a work in progress, I was looking to see if there was some kind of typical upgrade procedure. Flashing the new ROM is going to essentially wipe the device... is there a 3rd party app that can backup your data? Is it pretty standard to just go through and reinstall everything from scratch?
Thanks!

If you read the upgrade guides they recommend that you use the same tool (CWM) that you do the flashing with to first backup your existing ROM.

But this is a backup of the ROM, which from what I understand would have nothing to do with getting things set up once the new version of CM is flashed, correct?

You could root stock using my guide in my HD/HD+ CWM guide linked in my signature, then install Titanium Backup (TB requires root) and backup your installed apps. Then after you install CM10.1 to emmc, you can use titanium backup to restore your installed apps. That does not restore your system settings, but you don't want to anyway since they are different systems.
I thought you meant backing up the ROM, not your installed apps. You talked about a work-in-progress and I thought maybe you wanted to be able to go back to stock if you did not like it.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. I have a link in item 6 for plain stock 2.1.0.
Edit: Also try cleaning your screen. Fingerprints do a number on these devices.

I installed CM10.1 on my 2-week old nook HD+, following these (excellent) instructions.
Actually before that I was having charging problems - the charging light went green occasionally when the nook was plugged in, even when the battery was low, and so it thought it was charged and stopped charging.
Anyway, this charging problem got worse and worse, so I restored to the backup of my stock rom, confirmed the problem, discussed it with nook support and they said return it.
My problem:
The nook appears to be back to how it was in all but one respect: if (within the stock OS) I "erase and deregister" to do a factory reset, in the reboot sequence it comes up with cyanoboot and says something like "this is not rooted, do you want to root it?", if I click no it continues, and looks like a normal stock nook hd+.
My question: How can I remove this cyanoboot, so everything really is exactly how I bought it?
Thanks a million.

I literally just did the same thing. I was trying to install CM to SDCard, but must have gotten the wrong rom or boot image (I can't remember which decides where to actually install the ROM). Now I'm getting prompted to setup my CyanogenMod account.

For both of you, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read items 5 and 6. A restore of a backed up stock will restore most of stock, but if you also put a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) on internal memory, it will not restore the stock recovery.
The solution for both of you is to flash one of my plain stock ROMs from item 6. Be sure to factory reset with recovery too.
Edit: And for you sflesch, the Nook HD/HD+ is different than the Nook Color, it is the ROM zip itself that determines where the ROM gets installed. You must get a specially prepared ROM directly from an SD thread here for it to install on SD. Any ROMs you get directly from CM will install to internal memory no matter which CWM you use.

Thanks! Sorry for the other post. I figured I would share here, but you beat me to it. So I did reset factory before the rom install, and get Cwm boot screen, then bn stock. Is that because I used the rooted rom?

Yes, the new root adds that.

So the rooted ROM 2.1.1 will have cwm installed on the firmware of the device? I realize (at least I think) that's always been the case wen you root a device, but I always associated rooting a device with installing a CM flavor. I guess I was just thinking rooted stock means stock wit root access, not realizing you had to have cwm also.
p.s. I'll send another beer your way later this week.

No it does not have CWM. It has Cyanoboot as a second bootloader to help break the protection scheme. That is what you are seeing. If you want CWM on internal memory you must flash it separately.
And you are right, rooting is adding root access to an existing ROM, not installing CM. CM happens to be already made with root access, but installing CM is not rooting.

I should know better than to mix up my terminology and pay more attention. Yes, Cyanoboot I think is what I was seeing. So, in short, is there a way to get root access/install from unknown sources, etc. without actually having the Cyanoboot screen? My Nook is still under warranty and, although I generally trust you guys, I'm afraid I may mess something up myself and render it useless.

Yes, you can use the old root. And you don't need root for unknown sources.
Edit: You will need to flash the plain stock ROM to remove the second bootloader and root files first.

Hi,
This may be a question answered elsewhere but I did search and couldn't find the explanation in a way that made sense to me. With that said I apologize if this is semi-common knowledge.
I was running stock rooted until the auto-update. I'm thinking about putting on cm10 or cm11 emmc as that looks like the best way to go.
I know I can restore the ROM but what about recovery? If I need to deal with B&N or just want to fall back, can I restore the recovery to stock?
If I can could somebody post the link?
I've looked through the rooting and ROM flashing threads, but got a little turned around in understanding what methods are used for which procedure.
Thanks,
-Jeff
To put stock back to internal memory, including recovery, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset in CWM.
