[Q] Why won't cyanogen install? CWM? Please Help. - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Followed the instructions to root and install cyanogen onto my Nook HD+ device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500) I can boot off my micro sd into CWM based recovery. I can also maneuver through that menu easily. Yes I've downloaded all the "correct" files needed.
1) Following the links provided by xda, I attained all the necessary files needed to install cyanogen. (Funny thing is that the file names did not correspond with the directions provided.) So now what?
2) I'm trying to install the files from zip, but the only successful install was from gapps (tested it to see if anything would work). CWM recovery=install aborted. CM=Installation aborted.
Can anyone provide me with assistance?
Maybe I can just restore my nook hd+ back to its original state? i still have the backup made.
I just formatted the sd card. Going to try the process from scratch.

Does it say which kind of Status the error has? Like e.g. "Status 7"? This will help troubleshooting.

If you truly have the HD+ (the 9" model) then the names should have ovation in them. If you have the HD (the 7" model) then the names should have hummingbird in them. I suspect you got the wrong files for your device.

That is a safe assumption. First off, thank you for responding to my post. The link I provided is for the dummy proof installation of cyanogen. The links provided for the downloads are not difficult to find, and therefore should not be difficult to download. My statement must have been misinterpreted. I did download the correct files, according to the links. My theory is that these links have been updated, but the instructions have not. Therefore with the updated data and file names, there are missing correspondence with dated manual. I hope this brings some clarity to my earlier post.

You said the names did not match what was in the post, so I considered that the ovation/hummingbird could be what not matched. And you said the gapps installed and the CM/recoveries aborted. Assert failures for the wrong device would cause an abort. Gapps have no asserts.
And I am still not clear what you were saying. You asked for help, which I tried to give.

I hope you can understand my frustration. I thought I had bricked my device, and rendered it useless. As a matter of fact, my nook hd+ is back in its original state and working as it should. Again, I'd like to thank you for replying to my post. The install for cyanogen proved to be unsuccessful despite our best efforts.

If you are using the newest version of CWM (6045), there is a problem that causes assert errors. Make sure you are using an older version.

Hi Leap,
I used the procedure first posed 09-10-13. I also noticed your reference to kodochax's specific notes to get the boot rom or
whatever governs boot behavior to behave and tried to follow that when simple resets failed. I tried different cards and used Mini
Tool Partition Wizard as you recommended. I also tried just resetting again and again, maybe 30 times, to no avail.
I note that several sufferers have talked of exercising warranties. None have written of scaling the thing out the window but I would
understand.

Need help updating CyanogenMod from my Nook HD+

I have CyanogenMod Version 10.1.3-ovation on my Nook Hd+ and I tried to update by going to CyanogenMod updates in the settings menu. It is set for stable only and I downloaded cm-10.2.1 and when I click the Apply update button, it says.......
"You are about to upgrade to cm-10.2.1-ovation.zip.
If you press Update, the device will restart itself in recovery mode to install the update.
Note: This feature requires a compatible Recovery or updates will need to be installed manually."
I click update and the device reboots but does not update. I want to know what do I need to do to update. Please let me know!
Do you have CWM installed internally? That is what it meant by having a compatible recovery. You also need to update the gapps to the 20130813 version. Your best solution is to go to the Dummies guide linked in my signature and follow that for installing CM10.2. But skip the step about factory resetting if you want to keep you installed apps.

Thanks for replying. I installed this about a year ago and I actually had to Google CWM to see what that was and I am not sure if I have that installed internally. I know I did something with an microSD card when I installed and there is no card in now. I'm still new at this as I haven't done anything to this tablet in about a year. I will check out the Dummies guide a little later but I want to know if I have to redownload the CM10.2 as well linked in the dummies since it was downloaded to the tablet when I tried to update, or do I just strictly follow the directions on the Dummies?

It is probably best to redownload the files per the guide. The only step to skip is to not factory reset per the guide. That way your installed apps still will be there.

Thanks a lot for the help. I will do this as soon as I find my microSD! One more question for future reference, so how do I update from the device in the future just by downloading an update straight from my Nook? Sorry, that's what I tried to do in the first place and I thought that cyanogenmod would update everything when I checked in the settings and there was an update to download. Once again, I appreciate your help greatly and thanks!
Well, first of all there will be no more updates to CM10.2, only CM11. Secondly, updates to CM11 will not work from CM10.2 using the update procedure because it requires entirely different CWM and files. Once you have manually updated once to CM11, you can use the update procedure to update to a newer nightly or version of CM11. The key that was missing for you and caused the update failure was you missed a step in your original install and did not install CWM to internal memory. That is required for the update procedure to work.

Nook HD+ HDMI Video but no sound - bokbokan SD bootable
I have a Nook HD+ and I'm using bokbokan's cyanogenmod bootable SDcard image. When I connect an HDMI cable I'm getting video but no sound. Anyone else experience this or know how to fix?

No Joy
Regardless of which build or method I use, nightly or otherwise, SD, EMMC, or Updating from within CM10, I've never been able to get CM11 working on my Nook HD+ 16GB. Each try ends in my device getting stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen (revolving arrow). The only recovery is to flash back to CM10. Any ideas?

Yes, doing a Factory Reset. Also have tried clearing and not clearing cache, neither seemed to have any effect.
Thanks for your attention. It looks like I've found a build that works. cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-ovation.zip installed and booted rather quickly. None of the other nightly or official/unofficial builds seem to have worked, but I'm up and running now.

Help
Ok so I managed to install cm-11-20140706-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation. Installation ran smoothly and everything was fine (kitkat running ok and I was able to go into main menu etc.), until I powered off the device. I remembered the display sort of paused for a brief moment and the device powered down. As I turned it back on, it boots back to the original factory rom.
I've lost my back up rom and cynoboot now only allow selection of either no.1 (boot from Stock ROM), or no. 4 (boot CWM recovery).
I have tried installing the newer ROM (cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation) but it says E: Can't Open /emmc /cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation.zip (bad) -tried downloading the file again with same result..
Out of desperation I tried all the menu functions from wiping and formatting to hard resetting it, but nothing happens. It can still boot to Stock ROM fine though. Any help to get this thing rooted with kitkat running is much appreciated..
Patience is the key ...

Patience. No, I'm not good at it either, but combined with the slower operations on the bootable microSD card, I had to wait about 15-20 minutes for the revolving arrow to stop. Touch the screen occasionally, so that the processor stays up to speed (I shouldn't think that necessary, but it stopped revolving when I touched the screen after about 20 minutes).
Noob Questions
I realize these questions will likely seem obvious to everyone, but I couldn't find an answer looking through the forum, so I figured I would ask before proceeding to try this;
The instructions say to download the SD Card Image - I see the links under "SD Card Images", but I also see similar looking links under "Cyanoboot Sources"
Example: SD Card Images: HD: sdcard-hummingbird-cm11.0-v1.img
Cyanoboot Sources: HD: u-boot-hummingbird-cm11.tgz
My question is are these the same thing? Do I need both? One or the other?
Maybe some helpful info: I have a Stock Nook HD 8gb running 2.2.0, never done anything to it other than the factory updates.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the great posts
I want to thank everyone for the outstanding work here that allowed a complete noob to take my stale 2 year old Nook HD from blah to WOW in a few simple steps.
I really worried about getting a good SD card, but I was able to exFat format an ADATA 64GB Class 10 card which then tested to 1.62 MB/s on Random Write 4KB (QD=32) on CrystalDiskMark (5 iterations, 50MB). Already owned it as I actually purchased it for the nook, but it seemed like it would not store on the external card.
I followed the instructions exactly as posted on page 1 of this thread and I have the following results: (All confirmed with Screenshots I hope will post)
Total space: 57.12GB! (dramatic improvement over factory Nook HD)
Up time: 18+ hours and going strong with NO forced restarts
Android Version: 4.4.4!
update installation steps
Hello,
I have the August update installed for the cm11 sd install on the hd+. Simple question:
What's the procedure to install the updated Rom(11/23)? Do I just boot to recovery and
flash the Rom? Or do I have to do some other things ( wipe? and/or flash gapps?).
Thanks

If you mean the updated 11/22 version that bokbokan posted earlier, yes, just flash with no wiping.

If you want to keep using this SD based kk, you have no choice but to wait for bokbokan to update to a new version. Other versions of kk will not work on the SD setup.

[Q] Nook HD+ wont format

I've ran into an issue with my Nook HD+ that is a bit strange. The short version is I can boot into CWM 6.0.4.6 (EMMC), but the Nook otherwise bootloops, crashing on the CM11 boot animation.
Here is the long version:
-Ran the latest CM11 nightlies, issues arose shortly after installing xposed/xmultiwindow, it ran for a while before I hit bootloops/booting into a crashed system ui. Can't confirm correlation, since it ran for a month before issue. Running a mid October nightly.
-Flashing CM11 gave a Status 7 error, invalid symlinks.
-CM10.2, Slimbean/kat, TWRP all flashed successfully but never actually wrote (yes, all ovation/HD+ specific).
-Wont boot from SD
-Factory Reset crashes CWM
-Formatted /system and /data successfully, but i ran a backup as a test and everything still appears to be there (apks, etc.)
-Flashed stock 2.2 and recovery, halted on the "Ovation" assert, when i removed the assert the install just aborted.
-8 interrupted boot cycles didn't solve it.
That is where I'm at now. The only 2 other roads I've seen is I have an EMMC brick and it's hopeless (but I never enabled TRIM/was mindful of which nightly i flashed), or /bootdata went bad on me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? Let me know if there is any more information i can provide.
Thanks for all this community does, I've been a lurker since the glory Nook Color days.
Sounds like a brick to me. With CM11 it can brick as it tries to run trim automatically on some devices.

NOOOOO. Thank you for the response, I figured, I just didn't want to believe it.
Just two follow up questions:
•If the EMMC is bricked, is there still hope for an SD boot?
•Futile as it may be, I noticed you were able to create /bootdata recoveries. Do you mind sharing how to go about that?

If it won't format, attempting to fix bootdata will not help.
And yes, both verygreen and succulent have made SD versions of CM that run with bricked emmc. I don't know where to find succulent's since he does not post on xda, but you can find verygreen's by searching for 'noemmc'.

[Q] Want to Reset and install KitKat, [Rooted]

I've got a Nook HD+ with CWM Recovery, using the following:
NookHDplus stock enable Unknown Sources rev0
NookHDplus Universal Root rev3
I can't seem to get the device to boot into recovery mode, and I'd like to do a full wipe on it and install KitKat on it, but I don't want to screw anything up. All of the guides I've come across are for stock users building from the ground up. Do I have anything to worry about if I attempt a factory install on the device? Can anyone point me to relative resources or walk me through the process?
I also have the following, but haven't done anything with them yet
http: //i.imgur.com/P2ELMVA[.png]
Those two zips did not put CWM recovery on internal memory. Unless you did something else the stock recovery is still on internal and you do not want to boot to that.
Your proper procedure is to go to my dummies guide linked in my signature and follow post 7 there. The fact that you have installed the universal root and unknown sources zips will not make any difference.

I don't remember the exact process we went through and files used, only that we rooted it January 2014 using instructions from verygreen.
The files that I listed as having used before were just what I pulled off of the backup of the bootable SD card that I have on my pc.
I read the post that you assigned me to, thank you. I'll give it a try when I can and post how it went.
