Been trying for a week

So everyday I get off work, I try to install cm10 on my wife's nook hd+ but I just can't seem to do it, I bought a class 4 32gb sandisk from staples since people had have success with it, but anyways I got windows 7 and did all the steps and got adb working with the nook and rooted it just fine got googleplay working and so forth, but now trying to install cm10...is mission impossible so i use win32diskmanager to write the image of cwm or to make my life simpler put the one by bokbokan that suppose to install automatic, none of them work for bokbokan it doesnt even boot on the sd card, for the other method by verygreen cwm starts when cold boot but it has a problem partition the sd card so it goes no further, and thats where i been stuck, i dont know what i am doing wrong, is it win32diskmanager? every time i install the image it shrinks my sd card size to 190ish mb is this correct? anyways any help would be great

How do you know the card has a problem partitioning the sd card. Does it give you an error message? You say it goes no further. What are you expecting it to do?
And the card being a small size is normal.
I guess I don't understand what you are asking.

got it working, followed the tips of another poster that you have to reinstall the drivers when you are in cmw to make adb work and then i used that to install cm10, but another question now that i have cm10 can i just sideload apps by copying and pasting to memory or do i have to flash install them? since i noticed not even gapps is installed

You go get gapps from goo.im using you cm10 browser and select jb-20121011 version and download to your sd . Then boot to cwm and flash it. Reboot to cm10 and register play store and all your apps are there.

FYI, if you didn't already figure this out, the version from bokbokan didn't work because it's for the HD only, not the HD+.

not sure all these install problems are sd cards..I used two elcheapos, worked flawlessly

[Q] Nook HD, CM 10.1 w/ CWM earlyaccessv4 - How to diagnose mysterious reboot(s)

Hi All,
I have a Nook HD, recently purchased and then updated to BN 2.0.6 firmware during the BN registration process. I used the sdcard-cwm-early5.img.gz as referenced in Verygreen's post here to create a bootable CWM SD. I then installed the CM 10.1 build posted in thread by Bokbokban here. Finally, I installed latest gapps from goo.im. All seems to be pretty good, excepting that sometimes, seemingly randomly, the device will reboot itself, at which time it bypasses the SD during boot and goes straight for the stock BN rom on the emmc.
Any ideas on how to proceed? I haven't seen a pattern in the reboots yet, so I am not sure what may or may not be causing them. While I'm not exactly a newb with all that is involved with rooting/flashing various android devices (I own 5 of them), I could use some guidance on how to troubleshoot or diagnose problems like this.

I am confused. You used an HD+ image from verygreen and an HD ROM from bokbokan. How did you make that work? They should not have worked.
But if you really only used HD files, the reboot problem is probably the brand and class of the SD you used. It needs to be SanDisk class 4. We have that problem a lot on the HD+. It is cause by a kernel panic when trying to write to SD.
The solution is to get a better SD or use bokbokan's new Hybrid SD setup that puts /data on internal memory so SD speed does not matter.

Thanks for your prompt reply. To be clearer, I did not use the HD+ image, but I did use the CWM image Verygreen posted, 'sdcard-cwm-early5.img.gz', as that version supported using CWM to read .zip's from /emmc (in other words, those that were downloaded via BN stock browser).
At the risk of sounding like I am second-guessing you, I think it's worth noting that I had no trouble with many things related to writing to the SD card: writing the CWM image, booting into CWM from the SD, writing the CM10.1 image onto the card, booting from the 10.1 rom, etc... So if it is, as you say, the card having write issues and causing a kernel panic, I'm wondering how I can prove that. I will check the kernel logs when I get home.
I'm using a Sandisk 'ultra' class 10 16gb... I get that 'class 10' generally means 'crappy for small random write requests', but I've had good luck with this particular card on other platforms that are sensitive to consistency of write speeds (G2, Nook Color). However, I'll try a class-4 Sandisk per your suggestion.
Follow-up question: I can't seem to find a solid guide that shows how to install to emmc... is that a new frontier for this device? Is it just that nobody has bothered, or is there a problem with original bootloader supporting that?

The internal bootloader is locked down pretty good. Some day someone will be able to break it, but for now no one has.

SD Card not booting CM 10.1 install

I have an Nook HD+ that will not boot up in to the CWM recovery screen after setting up the SD card. I set up another one (8gb PNY Class 10) and that card works fine in two different Nooks. Now I bought a Samsung 32gb Class 10 card and it will not boot when set up the exact same way. Anyone know if I am doing something wrong with the larger SD card? Thank you

What do you mean after setting up? You mean after burning it? Some specific devices are hard to get them to boot to SD. I have two and the first boots fine the first time. My other one takes many, many attempts to boot the same card.

If the card boots on another HD+, you did it right. But if it has never booted, you could have something not right. Bad adapter (you should not be using your built in PC card reader, user an external reader), not using administrator mode running the software, maybe the specific card. It is sometimes difficult to get it burned so that it will boot, and then sometimes the specific device is just hard to boot.

Having had a similar problem yesterday using an old version of disk imager, I'd recommend down loading the version from leapinlar's post which solved my problem straight away. I couldn't discern any difference between the data actually on the card but it worked, so worth a try. I was using a Sandisk 8gb class 4 card which is usually the card recommended. Hope this helps.

Mind if I ask another quick q about memory cards? I got a pny 8 gig card especially to burn this image. When I burnednit last last nihht using win32image, it showed up as only 115 megabytes in size. There wasnt even room to transfer the other images.
Has this ever happened before to anyone?
Very strange. Can I rescue the card?

It is not strange, it is the way it is supposed to be. After it boots, it repartitions the card so it can be used for running CM. You are not supposed to be copying the ROM zips there.
Edit: I have an easy install guide for putting CM10/10.1 on SD linked in my signature. Maybe that will help you.

Are you wanting to root stock or put a custom rooted rom on it? Both are easy if you know what you want.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.

Preferably both leap but mainly cm. I think my prob is that im using my laptop sd card slot to write my bootabe sdcard. Is there any way to avoid usng an sdcard completely as per most phones?
Ill buy a cheap usb adapter anyway. Any should work right?

There is no way to root stock or install a custom rom without a bootable SD.
If you want to root stock, the easiest way is to make a bootable CWM SD per my new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
If you want to replace stock on internal memory with CM10.1, then use that CWM SD to flash verygreen's emmc version of CM10.1 from his thread.
If you want just to add an SD version of CM10.1 and not replace stock, go to my HD+ Hybrid thread also linked in my signature.
And when you get a USB card reader, try to get one that will read a micro SD without an adapter.

But ive not backed up the original B&N firmware. Any help doing that appreciated...
As i say it wouldnt allow me mount /system.
Is that because ive not rooted it yet?

That CWM will only let you backup the sdcard installation, not stock internal. And it won't even do that until you install it.
If you want to modify or backup stock see my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
And it is slow and awful because you have a slow SD. Use my Hybrid SD setup to improve things. See the link also in my signature.
You can also replace stock with CM10.1 on internal. Use my CWM for stock in the second paragraph above to do that. And flash verygreen's emmc version of CM10.1.
Edit: I guess I said all that in my post above.

I basically want to backup stock (so i can roll back eventually) and then format the internal drive and put cm 10 on it forever.
Sorry, this is as frustrating for me as you. All these threads and images are almost the same name, and it gets very confusing. It may seem like its all simple and straight forward but there is no clear, straight forward guide anywhere here. There should be a sticky or youtube maybe. Or else im just stupid...

[Q] Nook HD+ Hybrid SD help

I have three Nook HD+. I've been able to boot all of them to CWM using leapinlar's guide to achieve root and allow unknown scorces. I've also been able to make a Hybrid SD boot card on one of them using win32diskimger and the guide on the Hybrid installation.
I'd like to make another of them a Hybrid install, but I cannot get it to boot from the SD card after installing the image. It will boot every time with the 8gig card I made to install root and the other stock extras, but I can't get it to boot to the SD card with the Hybrid image.
I have tried Quickboot and booting it while holding down every button with no success.
I have tried 4 different SD cards with the image burned and none have worked. Is there anything else I can do? I am beyond frustrated at this point because it was so easy when I did this to the first hybrid I made. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have you tried booting the hybrid SD that works on the one device to see if it tries to boot on the others?

Yes I've tried that and it will boot the Nook I'm trying to get modded into the boot menu, CWM, or stock. It seems as though the issue isn't the Nook, but it's that I'm somehow not burning the image file to the SD correctly. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong though.
I've tried both WinImg 0.8 and 0.6 running as an admin and the card seems to be taking the image correctly. I get a 120mb card with u-boot.bin, ramdisk.cwm, kernel, MLO, uImage, ramdisk.hybrid, and ramdisk.stock on it. It just doesn't boot in the Nook. I've tried it in all three and it won't boot them. I'm really at a loss as to what to try next, because it seems like I should be good at this point.
Also if I just take the SD with the image burned and overwrite the files with your "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13)" Rar files, the Nook will boot into stock CWM with no problem, so the SD cards I'm using are bootable at least. I just don't know how to go from here to making the hybrid card.
I wish I knew what I did differently the first time, but I don't know what it could be.

Nook HD not charging since CM11 install
This morning I installed the latest CM11 build (M11) on my daughter's Nook HD. Prior to that I was using the stock ROM with no issues. Since installing the ROM the tablet will not charge; rather than showing an orange light the device shows a green light whenever the charger is connected.
It seems possible that my cable has failed at the same time as performing the install, though a little unlikely.
Thank you for your help.

Newbie Questions - B&N HD+
Hi - i am going to flash my B&N HD+ for the first time. i have been reading the forums and instructions and have few questions.
i want to do this without SD card (i can go buy one but i if not needed, i prefer not to use it). is this possible? in the EMMC thread, i still see that the SD card must be used for the flashing/booting. so essentially, to flash CWM 6046, is it possible to not use SD card? and if so, can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks

I'd suggest that you try resetting the Google Playstore app: go to Settings->Apps->Google Playstore, and do a "force stop" and "clear data" (after which you'll need to re-enter your Google (Gmail) account login/passwd).

CM11 M12 - Device Temperature
Hi all,
After staying around on CM10.2 for a long time due to a few issues with earlier snapshots of CM11, I've decided to upgrade to M12. Finding it runs great on everything I'm doing - definitely smoother performance. One thing I am concerned about is the temperature hike of my tablet, particularly when charged and running a game (in this instance, Terraria). Is anyone finding the back running quite hot? Can feel it on the screen and the left side of the device, but the temperature reading of 32C/90F doesn't seem that bad... it does feel worryingly hot though. Not sure if it's something on my end or a common thing with CM11, but I never had this on any other build.
As a sidenote - do the developers accept donations?

Audio stuttering in Rayman Jungle Run
I just did an SD card install of CM11 on a Nook HD+ and it's been working well (thanks!), except that I've noticed that the audio in Rayman Jungle Run and Rayman Fiesta Run tends to stutter / warble, making it unpleasant to listen to. Youtube and Great Big War Game sound are good. I'm using cm-11-20141129-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip with its initial sdcard image for ovation (sdcard-cwm-early9.img) from the first post. The micro SD card is Samsung class 6 16GB.

Well, what I did, is I found the thread here that describes how to put B&N's OS v2.2.0 on a bootable microSD card. Once I had that working (it's not like B&N is ever going to update the firmware), I did a backup of the Nook's internal storage, and then installed CM11 on the internal storage.
That should solve your performance issues.
Note: You mention an HD+, but then refer to "Ovation", which is the name for the HD, not the HD+. You may want to edit your message to clarify the situation.

ovation = HD+, hummingbird = HD.

Brain fart

Oops, since the files I used to install CM11 clearly say ovation.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I would have done an internal install, but when I tried to backup the built-in firmware 2.2.0 using CWM 6.0.4.6 (from the OP), I got an error due to the /system partition being unmounted (I'm recalling this from memory; I hope I got it right). I tried using the mount option in CWM, but that failed too. I then said "screw it with the backup... I'll find another on the web", and then tried to do an emmc install of the latest milestone (M12) from the cyanogenmod download site (using SDCARD CWM-based 6.0.4.6 booted from SD... not internal memory), but the install failed with a "status 7" error (IIRC). I also tried using an earlier microSD image (sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img) and tried to install a backup of stock 2.2.0 firmware that I found from another thread here (thinking that maybe I had borked my own from an attempt at installing recovery CWM), but that finished too quickly (yet no errors), and on reboot it didn't appear to have overwritten my own stock firmware. After these efforts spanning a half dozen or so hours of reading, experimenting, etc., I was able to at least get the SD card install working, so I said screw it, I'll just use SD card. But I would really prefer an internal install as you suggest.
I wasn't able to get CWM to boot from internal memory, only SD card (Samsung 16gb class 6). I didn't try very hard though. Maybe this is the reason I can't do an emmc install or backup? Can you only backup internal memory after having booted from CWM recovery (on internal memory, not SD card)?
I was able to find a post somewhere that related the /system problem to rooting, but I never have rooted my Nook HD+ (manufactured Dec'12).
After reading more about the slow 4kB random write performance on most SD cards, I'm thinking of getting a Sandisk class 4 card, but I'd rather not go there if not necessary.
Thanks again.

It looks like you used the installation files meant for creating SD-based ROM image
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42406126&postcount=7 for info/pointers on EMMC installation.

This worked! I now have an emmc install of cm11 M12 from the cyanogenmod site. Since I'm running Ubuntu GNU/Linux, not Windows, I replaced steps 1 to 3 in your instructions in the above link with (at terminal prompt, with microSD card inserted but unmounted):
gunzip emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz
sudo dd if=emmc-cwm-early3.1.img of=/dev/sdb
I then mounted the microSD card and copied (as root) the zip files as in your link, all with terminal. The unmounted /system partition error did not appear, and the M12 install went fine! When wiping I had an error related to sd-ext missing, but from some more searching I concluded that it was benign.
Thank you for helping me out. I was starting to give up before the help I've received here. I'm generally really pleased with the performance of cm11 on Nook HD+ so far. I'm not yet noticing much difference between emmc and sd-card installs, performance-wise.
Unfortunately, the earlier performance problem (sound stuttering/warbling in Rayman Jungle Run) is still there using this internal / emmc install vs. the earlier SD-based install of cm11, which suggests that the problem is in cm11 itself. On stock firmware (version 2.2.0 I believe when tested), Rayman Jungle Run ran fine (no sound problems at all). The sound problem may be a slowdown problem, but it's not severe.
