Just use leapinlar's revision 2 root zip and you shouldn't have any problems.

write your sd card with the cwm proded by lepinlar
then write the sd card with the cwm image after unzipping it
take it out of computer and put it in nook
you will see cyanoboot screen, after this it will go into clock work mod
after in clockwork mod scroll down into the mounts and storage
select mount sd card
then turn off nook manually and insert the sd back into computer
download leapinlar's revision 2 zip for your device
put the zip on sd card and DO NOT unzip it
then with nook off insert the sd
it will boot into cwm
now go to install zip from sd
select download zip from external sd
select the leapinlar zip that you already put on the sd card
now select yes on the screen with the no's and on yes
it will quikly install the zip into your nook and root it
now when finished remove the sd and THEN turn it off
turn it back on and it will turn on normally but with some more apps installed
if every thing is done right you will see the option to use zeam launcher when you press the "n" button
now select use as default and select the zeam launcher
go into apps and open super user at least once before using any sort of root apps
now that you have rooted you will probably want gapps so download the leapinlar zip for gapps on the nook (NOT any other gapps zip just leapinlar's) or do it the long way and install it to the sd card like you did before when you rooted it
now insert the sd into the nook while off
turn the nook off
turn the nook back on so it boots into cwm
go to install zip from sd
pick install zip from internal (the last option)
now pick downloads forlder and the gapps zip
select yes on the screen with the no's and one yes
it will install the gapps zip
now take the sd out and THEN turn off
now turn on
it will turn on then update apps then reboot and upate apps
when you go into the app drawer you will see the play store
if the play store is not there than you should retry the process

Oh dear, I made things a lot easier than that! I just burned the CWM card, copied the three zips I planned to install to the card, put it in the powered off Nook, booted into CWM, choose "install zip from card", picked my zips and installed them one by one in one go and then rebooted after all three where installed.. As per instructions in Leapinjar's topic.

[Q] Confused about Nook HD+ CM10 installaiton methods

I wondered if anyone could help me regarding the practical differences between the three types of CM10 install (EMMC, hybrid and SD card) - as in, does each method vary in speed, stability etc? I'd like to know which is the 'definitive' method for stable long, term CM10 use (as I was running cm-10-20130220-UNOFFICIAL-ovation using hybrid method, which was running perfectly for weeks, until one day it froze while I was playing a game, and now won't boot into CM10).
I'd also like to still be able to restore the original Nook OS in case I ever need to send it back under warranty; is this possible with an EMMC CM10 install?
Thanks in advance, guys.

I went ahead and installed the EMMC method. Runs smoother for me than either of the SD card options.
once you have recovery installed on your Nook HD+ you can make a nandroid backup and revert back to nook OS any time you want.

Thanks for the info. Is there a guide that details the installation process, including backing up the Nook OS?

There is not one guide that pulls it all together. Verygreen's native emmc guide tells you how to make his bootable CWM SD and flash the ROM, but is kind of sketchy on how to backup stock and optionally install the internal recovery.
I suggest you go to my HD/HD+ CWM guide linked in my signature and follow the below steps:
1. Make a bootable CWM SD per my new procedure in section 1a.
2. Boot to the new CWM SD and backup your stock ROM per item 1d.
3. Use the CWM to flash verygreen's latest emmc version of CM10.1 from his native emmc thread.
4. Use CWM to flash gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip downloaded from goo.im
5. Use the CWM to 'wipe data/factory reset'
6. If you want to put CWM on internal memory, flash my version of internal CWM per item 5 of my thread. (Optional)
7. Remove the SD and boot to your new CM10.1 ROM and register and set it up.
8. If you want to go back to original stock, use CWM to restore your original backup.

That's brilliant - thanks!
Just a quick query: While CWM was doing the backup, I got the following error messages:
"No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage."
"No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext."
Is this a problem, and should I be concerned?

It is really not necessary. You can always just wipe and flash the plain stock ROMs I have on my HD/HD+ CWM thread. It just means your installed apps are gone if you do.

I just flashed your EMMC version of CWM from your thread - I used the CWM SD card to boot into, then I flashed the internal CWM zip - is this the correct way to do it? It said that the flash was sucessful, but how do I now boot into this internal CWM?
Thanks, once again.
EDIT: I was doing power+vol -; I just tried power + 'n' button and it booted into CWM, so I guess I figured it out...

[Q] Can i revert to stock?

I tried to follow Verygreen's thread here:
[Nook HD+] CM10.1 development for sdcard last update 07/03 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087988
CM hangs on its loading screen and I didn't take a backup of the stock before i installed. I thought the point of the thread was that i could run CM from the sd card but without the sd card in it would boot into stock. I can get to CWM by keeping the card in. Is there any means of reverting to stock or have I overwritten it?
Here's what i did;
I placed cwm on my class 4 card and copied cm-10.1-20130629-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip to a location on the nook's interal memory.
Inserted the sdcard with cwm into my powered off nook.
Turned on Nook and CWM loaded.
Followed instructions to install zip from sdcard -> install from internal storage
rebooted - and reach hanging CM loading screen.
I guess before i should have backed up stock before installing from internal storage.

Am i right in thinking i can place the stock 2.1.0 from section 6 in leapinlar's [CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods - via CWM flashable zips - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
steps would be place zip on sdcard, get to cwm, install from sd card.
is there any point running a backup at this point because CM10.1 which what it tries to boot to won't fully load at present.

Did you wipe first. I noticed your missing that from your list. Wipe to clear Data from Stock then install CM 10.1 and yes just wipe Data and flash leapinlar's stock zip. It should revert all changes
If you did wipe check the MD5 of the zip and compare to the md5 on the post.
Check md5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1404763&d=1350336284

[Q] Need help with my EMMC CWM-based recovery

Hi All,
I screwed up my nook HD+ while trying to install CM11 without fully understanding the instruction. So I'm up here consulting all the wise people to help me save my Nook HD+Now it's only able to run the stock Nook OS and unable to install any zip file.
Basic info of my tablet:
Nook HD+ 32 Gb.
EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.6​
Here's what I did wrong:
- wipe cache partition
Mounts and Storage Menu
- format /system
- format /data
- format /cache
- format /bootdata
Advanced Menu
- wipe dalvik cache​
Current Condition:
Unable to install any zip file; it shows the android guy lying flat on the ground with a red "!".
As of now, it can only run the factory Nook OS.
What do I need to do save this mess so I can get it to run CM11?
I did try to put zips into EMMC through file managers (ran from Nook OS) but the recovery wouldn't install those zips either.
Thank you guys for look at this thread, and any tips/pointers will be greatly appreciated!

You must be using the cwm for cm11 version. Flashing without the correct recovery will cause cm11 flash to fail. Since cm11 does not incude the recovery in its zip you have to flash it manually.
So I will assume your attempting to flash cm11 to the recovery built against an earlier cm version.
Update your recovery to the one specified for cm11.
Its listed on verygreen's cm11 thread here.

Hi sandsofmyst,
I had CM 10.1.3 installed prior to trying to upgrade to CM11.
My Nook HD won't install any zip file right now; every time I try to install a .zip, it just show the android robot laying on the ground. Please let me know if there's a procedure I can follow to get new recovery installed.
Thanks!

HI leapinlar,
Thank you for responding. I've attached a screenshot of the error message. It pretty much went from "Installing update..." to "Installation aborted." right away.
and before I reboot my device, the following message also shows up:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
"Root access is missing. Root device?"
Thank you again.

Since you wiped /bootdata (which you should not have done), you need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a there. Then use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 there. That should repair everything and let you start over.

Hi leapinlar,
What .img file do I use to create the CWM SD per instruction 1a?
I've downloaded "the plain stock 2.2.0 for HD+" per instruction 6 and it's a zip file. I tried using "dd" command on Mac and WinD32Disk Imager on Win7 but I can't get them to use zip as image.
I tried the SDFormatter method for 1a, and extracted the files zip file from instruction 6 into the SD card but my Nook can't recognize it during start up.
Once again, than you for all your help.

You have it wrong, do not extract the stock zip. That is what you flash after you have made the CWM SD. You unzip the image zip, the one for your device. It becomes an .img file when unzipped. Use the 4GB version for your device (HD or HD+).

HI leapinlar,
Thank you for your instructions. I was able to flash "NookHDplus-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock" on to my Nook HD+. After rebooting my HD+ with another SD card I created for verygreen's EMMC CM11 install I was able to flash the ovation recovery image (CWM) device still wouldn't flash the CM 11 zip. Also, when I try to reboot with the SD card for CM 11, it's still prompting that "Root access is missing. Root device?" message. What other things do I need to do?

That root request message is normal. Just always say no.
After you flashed the plain stock, were you able to boot to stock without the SD inserted?
And you should not be flashing that ovation-6 a second time using 6046.
Try redownloading a different CM11 zip and flashing that. The one you were trying might be corrupt.

[Q] Need to return Nook HD+ to Stock ROM

Hello,
I have 2 weeks to return my Nook HD+ to B&N for a warranty replacement
due to a charging issue (it randomly reports the battery strength at 1% and
then shuts down even though the battery has a charge). I've read and re-read
various threads but haven't been able to figure out how to return the Nook to
the stock rom. I have CM11 installed on emmc with TWRP. It's been nearly
a year since I installed it and can't find a back-up recovery or even remember
if I made one. For the most part, the guides I've found refer using to CWM
rather than TWRP. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. An alternate to that is to go to item 5 and flash the v6036 CWM to internal memory replacing your TWRP. Use the CWM to flash the plain stock zip from item 6. Follow that with a factory reset with CWM. You cannot use the TWRP you now have on internal memory to flash the stock zip. It will fail.

Thanks for your reply. Prior to posting my question, I've tried to follow your guide.
Please take a look at the the steps I took and let me know what I should have done differently.
I only had a 2gb SD card on hand. Anyway, here are the steps I took:
Formatted a 2gb SD card with SD Formatter. Then with MiniTool Partition wizard the partition was set as "active".
Next Win32DiskImager was used to write NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-small-rev3-(02.03.13) to the SD
card. At that point, the card had a capacity of something like 110 MB so I used MiniTool Partition Wizard again to extend
the volume using the remaining unallocated space on the card. I then copied NookHDplus-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock to the SD card.
When I put the card back in the Nook and hit the start button, the Nook boots right into the Cynoboot Universal Bootloader and loads
CM11.
Since I already have TWPR, is there a way to install a Stock Rom with TWRP and then remove TWRP?
Thanks,
JDK

You combined two different methods to make the SD and messed it up.
No, you cannot use that internal TWRP to flash the stock.
You should do what I said earlier. Download the v6036 CWM zip from item 5 and boot to internal TWRP and flash it. It will replace TWRP with CWM. Then boot to internal CWM and flash the stock zip as I earlier instructed.

It makes much more sense to me now. My mistake was that I did combine both methods. Since these steps can all be done from within the Nook, to keep it simple for a simple guy such as myself, , I don't need to be writing any files to an SD card. I'll give your revised instructions a try and let you know how it works out. I've used CWM on my phones, so I feel like I have of pretty good chance of getting it right this time! I guess I just needed to be walked through this, step by step. Thanks for giving me some more detailed instructions.
