I have a Nook HD it hasnt been modded. I was trying to play a APK file game from my SD card and the Nook would not recognize it. Can anyone tell me what type of file format my game should be to play? What are the formats of the games that you get from the Google Playstore?
Thanks for any help.

That apk file does not 'play', it installs the application. And in order to install an apk file on a stock HD, you must go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD and use it to flash my Enable Unknown Sources zip. Then the apk will install.

OK So in what format are the NOOK HD games? What program should I use to flash the card? I tried downloading WIN32 discimager but it wont download properly. Would having WINrar installed on my desktop be effecting it? What other programs are there for disc imaging?
Thanks for the help.

Just read the instructions in that thread. Winrar should not matter. You should keep trying to get win32diskimager working.
And I don't know what you mean by format of games. The installation file is an apk.

Hello:
Sorry if this is a nooby question but i just got a Nook HD today and I want to root it
It is on 2.0.5 and I saw a guide but i needed CWM for the guide
I do not understand how to install CWM on Nook HD because like its not like odin or something
Thankyou
Everything is burned to sd card- then used as not media in the nook. Use the universal root thread- get the software recommended for burning the sd card and copy the zips over after burning cwm

CWM and flashable zips: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
Hello,
I've scoured the internets and the forum to no avail.
After what can only be described as an ordeal, I finally got verygreen's CM10 to boot from an SD card for my Nook HD+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364
However, I cannot get gapps, which is the whole reason one would switch to cm10.
I also could not get adb to ever work, so I just put the zips onto the sd card directly (not the boot partition, but the CM10SDCARD partition), and then loaded recovery mode.
Then I mounted the sd card. Then install zip from sd card. Then choose zip from sdcard. Then I choose the gapps zip.
Then
E:Can't open /sdcard/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I don't know what the problem is. I know there were a lot of problems getting CM10 on there to begin with, but now there is no problem.
Which gapps was I using? Xda people pointed me to http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip which is where I got it from.
Please any help or advice.
Thanks,
DG
i suspect a corrupted gapps zip file. perhaps it didn't download fully, or didn't transfer fully to your microsd card ?

Yes, I agree. Download the gapps file directly to your device and then install via CWM. Sometimes PC antiviral software will corrupt a download on the PC.

Thank you both. So, I downloaded gapps directly to the internal memory. Could you advise how to go from there in CWM? Is it mounting the emmc, or the rom? Then is it choose .zip from internal card? It can't mount the emmc...I don't know if there is something I need to do first.

No, not to internal memory, to sdcard. Copy now from emmc to sdcard. Then you can flash with cwm.
Edit: BTW, I meant to download with CM10, not stock.

I saw where this was posted, almost verbatim as how you mentioned it.
Does anyone out there ACTUALLY have experience with this happening?
In the 13 years of working on this stuff (tinkering with gadgets, etc) I have never experienced this.
Update:
Today, I finally got it going. Downloaded gapps from CM and it installed like a charm. Now I've got a pretty darn good android tablet for the price. Thanks leapinlar, much appreciated.
abense, i'm, also skeptical that it was actually my antivirus software. I would imagine the software would prevent the download entirely as opposed to just corrupting it. However, it did work when downloading from the nook itself.

gapps from sdcard for HD
Might be a dumb question but...
I used OP's auto-install version of his HD version of Verygreen's HD+ CM10 sdcard. It installs CM10 to the sdcard no problem. Works like a charm. My Nook HD runs CM10 from the card great. But no gapps.
Would this method you've described work for me? Is there an easier way I'm just missing?
If I load gapps to internal memory, do I then mount the sdcard in CWM and flash gapps to the sdcard that way?

The install from internal memory option is broken in the SD versions of CWM.
Boot to CM10, browse to goo.im and download gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip to sdcard. Then use the power menu to boot to recovery and choose install zip from SD, then choose zip from SD. It will probably be in downloads folder.

Thanks. Never realized it was a web site. I always used goo manager from the app store. Should have realized it was pulling from a web site. I've rooted a bunch of different devices but I'm still finding out how much I don't know. Thanks again.
So this update came out a little bit ago. I have done the "allow unknown sources" mod. Should I be able to install the update or does the mod prevent it from installing?
I've tried to install several time and it keeps failing.
How can I do the update at this point?
Enable Unknown Sources zip does nothing to prevent an update.
I'm not sure what you mean by update came up. What were you running before. Is this an update over the air from B&N or what?

I am running 2.1.0. It's an over the air update from B&N for 2.1.1. I even tried the method to download the update file and save it to the device's main directory but that didn't even try to update that way, but the file disappeared.
I installed the NookHD-HDplus-stock-enable-Unknown-Sources-rev0-(09.08.13) and NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev3-(09.10.13)
Oh, the universal root rev3 does block it.
If you want to upgrade, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the rooted 2.1.1 from item 6.

so basically just reflash with the NookHDplus-stock-2.1.1-rooted.zip file using that same set of directions that I used to do the original allow unknown sources mod?
ANother question, I originally used an 8 GB SD card and it only created a 4 GB partition. I backed up the stock image. I was going to back up the current image to the same card but it ran out of space. How can I make full use of the 8 GB card?
Yes, install the rooted zip just like you do any other zip from my thread, using CWM.
You can try using partition software like Mini-Tool Partition Wizard to expand the 4GB to the full size of the SD. Make sure you copy the backup files to your PC before you start in case you screw it up.

I tried searching a little, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I used the files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
I used the program "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home" to make sure that the sdcard is set to as "primary" and "active". And basically I'm just trying to go from 'CyanogenMod 10.1.3-ovation' back to Stock Rom (back to how I first got it/how Barnes and Noble sold it to me).
I formatted the sdcard, unzipped and moved the files from "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-BOOTFILES-r4-(05.15.13)" to the sdcard, moved and left zipped the "NookHDplus-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock" file (even tried the 2.2.0 file beforehand) to sdcard, and turned on my nook with the sdcard in. I go to "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard", and get the message "E: Can't mount /sdcard/".
Also (if this even matters), to install CM, I followed the instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9aTofeSPbg

No, you have the right files. CWM is just not reading the card. Try reformatting with SDFormatter to fat32 and set it up again.

I have now got my nook up and running with these files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572 all is well. I would still like to be able to go back to stock though, i believe you answered me in my thread on going back to stock so i will try what you suggested Thanx
Hi guys,
I tried installing cyanogenmod on my new Nook HD+ but when trying to install CM11 it gave me a status 7 error!!
I did make a backup before installing and so I wanted to know how to recover back to factory setting or whether I can still install CM11? When turning the tablet on it just goes to CWM v6.0.4.6
What do I do???
To get to stock go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6. Follow that with a factory reset by CWM. That takes you back like it came out of the box.
I don't know which guide you used to try to install CM11, but I suggest you use this one:

Thank you for your reply. I did use that guide but I think the CM11 file I downloaded must have been corrupt?
Is there anyway of trying to put another CM11 file on the device without installing stock rom?
I need to get another SD card to try to restore to factor setting.
You said you wanted together back to stock. That is what I told you how to do. You can't use that 6046 CWM to do it.
If you want to try again with CM11, just do it.

Yes I appreciate that, thank you.
I was just wondering whether I could somehow do something now to get CM11 on the device without having to get back to stock?

I don't think I have made myself very clear. Since following the guide I received an error, so I can;t follow the guide now. I just need to try to change the file that was corrupt or start again. I would prefer to change the file but I don't know whether that is possible. If it isn't I will have to buy another sd card to try to solve this problem.
At the moment I can't use the device but it does boot to CWM.
You are not making yourself clear. There had to be more to the error message than "status 7". Maybe you don't remember. Or maybe you lost the file and you cannot try again. And why can't you use the SD you used the first time?

this is what happens:

I suppose I could use the same sd card but don't I have to put the files on the internal sd card for it to reboot to the factory setting?

Now that you have CWM v6046 already on internal memory, it is ok to have the files you want to flash on the external SD. It is only the version on SD that needs the files on internal SD. Get SDFormatter free on the web and use it to format the SD so it goes back to its normal size. Then you can put the CM and gapps zips on the SD. CWM v6046 has an option to flash a zip from external SD.
But that being said, that error message tells me that you have too old of a version of CWM on internal. Are you sure it is version 6046?

When CWM loads that's the version that comes up. I couldn;t see any option of loading from external sd card?
...Also if I take the sd card out then the bootloader doesnt load. the Nook logo just loops?
Thank you, I got it back to Stock and will try the install again!
I got there and installed CM11 now. Thanks for your advice.
I downloaded the wrong CM11 file, instead of downloading the emmc.zip I downloaded Sd-card zip!
