Hi,
I just got my Nook HD+ yesterday and installed CM10.1.3 (stable) right away. Great job guys, the OS is really running nice and smooth!
However I've got an annoying problem (2 to be precise):
The Nook won't charge from the charger and the LED stays green. When rebooting with the charger plugged in it goes orange, but turns green as soon as the Cyanoboot Logo shows.
The only way I can recharge the Nook is via my PC (although painfully slow, had I not found verygreen's Charger Control tool).
This leads right to problem 2: The Nook is not recognized by the PC at all via USB. On some of my ports it shows up as an unkown device, but there seems to be no traffic between the two (PID and VID of 0x0000).
Both problem could not be solved by updating to CM10.2 M1 or wiping caches or data.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks!
€:I just tried reinstalling the stock im (from my cwm backup) to see if it works in there. Result: nope, same thing. Charging from the PC, but not from the wall, no USB connection. However after connecting to my wifi and reporting available updates the Nook suddenly rebootet only to get suck at a Cynaoboot screen followed by a flickering TWRP logo. Which is rather strange since I thought I had just installed a full backup thus removing both of those.. So I am guessing there is still some stuff gone wrong left on the device. Installed 10.2 M1 again afterwards.
So how can I make sure that I get back to a truly clean state on all boot-related partitions without having USB/ADB access? Which can be wiped from CWM or TWRP without risking a brick?
€€: Oh well.. I just set up a bootable sdcard with verygreen's 10.2 binaries on it and started the Nook from that.. Same behavior So it seems like either my hardware is bad (which would suck since I'm in Germany and shipping it to the US and back would cost more than the Nook did) or there is some serious weirdness going on...

hi, i just installed CM10.1 on my HD+ and love it!! the only problem is that i have seem to have lost my ability to charge my HD+ while synced with my pc (debugging mode i guess). i have searched but i have not found anything that helps with the Nook HD+. so i ask here if anyone can help me out with some info. thanks in advance with any and all help.
I have a motherboard which can provide 3x normal USB power. It can only charge my tablets (Nexus7, Nook HD+, TF101 ...) while the screen is off.
I think this is normal. My USB ports can charge the Nook pretty quick.

hhmmm... thanks for for your input. everything seemed to work when i was running CM10. my HD+ charged with or without the screen on but since i upgraded to CM10.1 my HD+ doesnt charge when plugged into my pc. im trying to search for reasons why but still cant find anything.
I'm running CM 10.1 (6/30) build and it charges over my pc usb.
I did initially have a problem where it didn't recognize it as a storage device for copying files over,
but then I got it working. Not sure if it wasn't charging at that point but I think it was. Wish I could
remember what I did to get the mass storage working.

????? damn! i dont want to reinstall but if i have to i will.... you used the 6/30?? hhhmmm thats weird cause i used the same thing. is this what you used, [cm-10.1-20130630-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc] ????? i would like to say that its no big deal but it kinda is. i used to charge while i loaded new comics, books & magazines. now i have to charge and load separately (yeah i know its not a big issue but i got used to doing both at the same time). btw, thanks for your input pdx!
Nook HD+ running cm10.1.
Screen went to sleep and never recovered. there is back light and the screen remains blank. no boot logo nothing. tried charging, booting with USB cable plugged in, turning the unit off by holding down power and powering back on holding the N button. nothing seem to be working. im ready to bring it back ot B&N and getting it replaced.
any suggestions to how to can force stock rom on the nook? or is the LCD fried and not to bother with it?

Have you tried booting with a bootable SD like you did when you put CM10.1 on it? It will not even turn on unless it has valid boot files on emmc or a bootable SD inserted.

Yes i have tried to turn it on with a SD card with CWM. just blank screen. its turns "on" everytime. just no image. only the backlight
Thanks
Well you tried everthing I've seen or could think of... though leaving it on till the battery runs out would be a curious test? If it will even do so.
Edit: You didn't state how long you tried charging it for. If it drained all the way it can take a good amount of time and WILL get stuck at only the backlight just like you have.. The charging symbol shows up later and will finally boot at around 15%'

Since i cant see anything on the screen i can only go by the light next the charging cable. I charged for for a whole day and the light was green on the tablet stating it is charged 100%. i did not try to drain it. will probably take a week or more since i unable to use it.
Unless someone has another suggestion i think it time to throw in the hat? the tablet is only 2 months old so it shouldn't be a problem returning it to the store and getting a replacement
Thanks

I just researched info on the emmc brickbug in the event you were testing or running the rom with trim enabled. Or lagfix too. The brickbug can brick the device where it doesn't turn on. Just something else. Or that is from what I understand anyway.
But it sounds like you might as well take it in for replacement.

thanks for the followup :highfive:. took it in and they tried everything under the sun to get it to turn on. in the end w/o results they handed me over a new nook :victory:
OK, maybe Jtag reflash. Is there such an animal for the BNTV600 on the horizon?

Or maybe there is some less heavy procedure considering a nice old tar backup of the device
Yesterday my HD+ suddenly notified that it was down to 5% battery. I plugged it in and it instantly went to 33%. I left it charging for several hours. Came back and it was still orange but I disconnected the charger anyway. When I turned it on, it said it was at 100%. I used it for awhile and noted it was still at 100. Plugged it in, and it quickly went from orange to green and said "charged". This has persisted thru several reboots, including my usual CM 10.2 SD card, my CM 10.1 on EMMC and my stock SD card. Today I'll likely try to get stock back onto EMMC to ensure I'm covered if it dies. Anyone else had their HD+ get stuck at 100% or have suggestions on how to fix?

After completing a nandoid backup via CMW and restarting, it was clear that battery time was updating again, it was reporting 69%. But I went ahead and restored stock and flashed stock recovery in case I continue to have issues.

Not sure if i have the same issue. My Battery goes up to 100% while using the device unplugged on 10.1.3 and stays at 100%.
If the battery is drained (still showing 100%) i get the charging leds flashing red and i have to disassemble the device and re plug the Battery to get it charging again.
I tried some battery calibration tool from the play store. no help.

@Sherip: Faulty battery. Mine had a similar issue. Get it replaced ASAP.
(Please see post #4 as the issue has evolved)
I recently updated my husband's HD from CM 11 to CM 12.1 (the one build in @amaces obsolete folder). This restored some functionality to a few apps that had "moved on" beyond KitKat and preserved the HMDI functionality. Everything else is essentially the same. Except.
Too often on starting the tablet up in the morning it shows about the same battery level as at shutdown the prior evening (maybe 50-ish) and then in a matter of minutes nosedives to 1%. You can see the behavior on the power usage graphic in Settings and it's pretty shocking. There's a vertical line for when it booted up and then *bam*, it drops to essentially nothing. If the tablet is plugged in for just a moment, the battery level returns to normal and everything is fine. It can be disconnected from the power supply and behaves normally the rest of the day.
So this is annoying (moreso because I need to hear about it every time it happens ). I've read the entire (unofficial) CM 12 thread. This issue comes up once or twice and seems to be "resolved" by "calibrating" the battery either with an app from the PlayStore or without. The app seems to just delete a file that would be overwritten at boot anyway from what else I have read on the subject, but the main idea is to drain the battery to an actual 1%, shut down and charge (the tablet remains "off" although the screen is on) until you've got 100% (which has to be judged by the green LED since the tablet is off).
I tried this (with the app), beginning by wiping cache and dalvik cache. It seemed to work for awhile. Then I foolishly suggested doing a backup. I did this with the emmc TWRP and everything seemed to go well except the battery indicator issue started up again...
So we did the battery thing again.... And it was just fine until this morning (not what you want to hear as you sit down to breakfast).
Clearly one could live with this if you always have the charger close at hand, but it's pretty lame. The tablet behaves beautifully in all other respects. I don't think it's a hardware issue as it started right after flashing the new ROM.
One person in the CM 12 thread actually praised the ROM as eliminating this issue which he had from CM 11!
Is this a flashing glitch which might be fixed by reflashing the ROM? I'm loath to do a clean install and reconstruct everything again after such a short time, but I wonder if a "dirty" install (don't wipe data, right?) would be enough. If I reflash the ROM do I have to reflash GApps also?
Suggestions? I'm really at a loss here.

I doubt if a dirty flash would change anything, but there does not appear to be any penalty to try it out as a shot in the dark.

Not if you don't wipe /data -- basically same as in the case of a dirty upgrade.

I finally got around to this after much complaining about the issue and now I've managed to make it much worse. Before, the tablet would drop from the 50's (or lower) to 1% on boot. Higher percentages of charge were usually safe. Now it goes through the boot process up to the animation and then abruptly shuts down UNLESS the power cable is connected, regardless of the state of battery charge. If the cable is connected boot occurs normally and you can disconnect after boot is complete and everything is "fine".
Except, of course, it's not "fine" at all. Unless you have the charger and cable with you at all times, the tablet has to be left on when you're on the go.
Ugh. Any ideas besides going back to stock and starting over?

I came across a post that suggested returning all the way to stock and doing a factory reset, then rebuilding the system.
Once at stock I had no trouble completing a boot without being plugged in. So that is not a hardware issue. I didn't stay on stock long enough to see if the battery indicator behaved, but I'm guessing it did. I prepared a completely new SD card with newly downloaded files and proceeded to do the needed flashing for CM 12.1 w/GApps, using CWM 6.045. It all seemed to go well--even no screen flashing--until I unplugged the tablet so I could easily remove the SD card and reboot. As soon as I removed the power cord the periodic screen flashing that seems to be common during CWM use started up.
I rebooted and got only so far with the CM logo before the tablet shut down.
I don't get it. It worked fine before. What about this process could be causing this odd behavior?
Edit: in desperation I tried flashing The ROM again right over the prior installation. This time I booted into the emmc CWM (6.0.4.6) and waited for the tablet to calm down. Then I unplugged it and flashed the ROM from the ext.SD card. No error messages. I held my breath and rebooted. I got to several iterations of the cyan android face and then it shut down again.
Next I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.4 to emmc and tried flashing the ROM from the ext.SD card that way. Same result.
The battery charge shows 80% so it's not like the tablet is running on fumes and it's hard to believe the problem is the battery or the indicator since none of this happens on the stock ROM.
I just don't get it. We don't want to go back to stock but I don't understand any of what is going on. Initially CM 12.1 was working beautifully. Then the battery indicator issue started. I addressed that as best I could and when it seemed like we had that on the run I did a backup. That resulted in this shutdown issue. You can use the tablet just fine if you never turn it off and keep either the charger or a portable power pack handy (don't forget the cable!).
I really need some help troubleshooting. I'm willing to try just about anything.
Edit: indeed, the last resort was to buy another HD... But it turns out the booting issue was caused by an SD card that somehow was not properly prepared as 0x0C FAT32 LBA but was instead something else which I don't remember now (something with a "b"). Anyway, once a new card was carefully prepared, the tablet booted fine without being plugged in. Whether this also solves the battery indicator issue remains to be seen.
The very short story is I installed the stock rom for my nook hd to 2.2.1 as I had an issue where any CM rom if I disconnect the usb cable the Nook HD powers off, but when going into recovery mode it stays powered on battery.
I thought installing the stock will help with my battery issue. So after booting a bootable microsd with CM and installing the stock rom, I get to a point in the setup where it asks you to select your wifi network and login credentials. I did that and then next step after selecting time zone said it couldn't connect to network and try again. Of course, do this multiple times and nothing happened.
I read online that if I plug in the tablet to PC I should see a BNTV400 drive so I can manually copy over the official update, but this drive does not show up, only a smaller Nook drive like 235KB.
I gave up and ended up installing a working Android 7.1.1 rom based upon CyanogenMod version 14.1-20161223-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird. But battery problem still remains. When I'm in the OS with usb cable to powered source, tablet stays powered and I can use the OS. The very second I disconnect this cable, the tablet shuts down. The battery meter can be 100% full, but it still shuts off.
The only way to keep tablet powered is plug in via usb at all times. I don't believe battery is bad if I can stay in the recovery menu for hours on just battery alone. I'm tearing my hair apart and need some insight!
