I activate adb on my nook hd+ and my computer keeps making the 'connect' and 'disconnect' noise over and over and over. I read somewhere someone else had this problem, and I wan't to root my nook but I think this might be a problem. (I read a guide to install a driver, but I can't find my nook tablet when Adb is activated..

Getting USB ADB to work on these devices is very difficult. Fortunately, you do not have to use ADB to root anymore. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature to see how to root with a bootable CWM card.

The problem with you're guide is they aren't exactly user Friendly, if you get what I mean. lol..
Like for one, what files would I need to install On my sd card, and what programs required on my pc.. I mean I need clockwork mod on sd card? theres 3 of them, and how exactly would the universal root work with that. I'v been trying to root my nook for 3 months now.... sad, ikr..
(I would love a description that goes step by step. example) Because 'Just add the files onto sd card and plug into Nook tablet-..' sounds Too good to be true..
Step 1: Place sd card into pc.
Step 2: etc.
Step 3: etc
Step 4: Done!
(Though you're methods are great for those who have experience with that stuff. too much writing to make sense of.)
So if you could just explain shortly what I have to do (I'm a beginer..) I would love you *_* master..

I'm not sure what is not user friendly. The very first sentence in the instructions says you need to make a CWM card. How much clearer do I have to make it? I have it step by step, but I don't have numbers. I tell you exactly what software you need and there are only two versions of each image file for your device. (Look closely at the names, HD vs HDplus).
And I have directions on how to operate the software. And I have directions on which zip files to use. I am not sure why you cannot follow the directions. I made it as simple as I can.
I am tired of hand holding for folks that cannot read and follow directions. You DO need to read carefully though. It is not a cookbook.

^ Now. As far as i can see....... None of them say what version to use. and I'm confused, you're saying what exactly. Do I install one of these? or all of them. I'm about to cry with frustration, I'm asking for help but only getting references towards posts with thousands of words!

And I looked, the only reference towards cwm involving rooting my nook was this:
Rooting the HD/HD+
Rooting is now very easy using CWM in the referenced thread above. If you want to use the older manual method, click on the "show content" button below. But be warned these older methods no longer work on version 2.0.5 or newer.
The other one was just to backup stuff.

I don't think you appreciate how much work I put into making these directions simple. And for someone to call them not user friendly is offensive to me. It is obvious to me now that you did not even try to read these. You just saw how long it was and had no numbered steps like a cookbook and you gave up. Everything you need to know is in one section (clockworkmod) and is step by step.
Go try using ADB again if you don't want to follow my hard work. I guarantee you, you will not get it rooted. And if you can't read simple paragraphs you should not be rooting your device anyway. You will just end up resetting it.
Edit: Now I see your problem. You were looking at my HD/HD+ tips thread, not my HD/HD+ CWM thread. Go look at the thread I originally told you to look at!

I did try to read it, geez! you give me an explanation that i need cwm in the universal root part, but i Look and don't know what to do with it on my sd card. it's like a slap to the face. And I can't see what you wan't me to do with it, extract it into the sd card and add the universal root to the sd card too?
Which one? Is it a guessing game? with tragic endings?..

Forget reading the universal root section. That is gravy. Read and follow the clockworkmod section. It is step by step and everything you need.
Edit: I just modified my OP in that thread to tell impatient readers not to start reading with the Universal Root section, but to read the CWM section. Let me know if you cannot read and understand that section. I want to make it so even the most impatient reader can get through that.

It is normal to take 10 minutes or more (my instructions said that) but win32 should be showing you progress on the progress bar. And win32 does lock the SD so you cannot access it with windows explorer while it is burning.
If you are not getting a progress bar, something is wrong. Try again.

Using an SD adapter is ok, but using your PCs built in sd card reader is not ok. If you got an error message from the program you should not have continued until you resolved the error. What was the error?

Agreed, everything works perfectly if you read and follow the directions. Getting CM10.1 on my Nook HD was honestly one of the least painful experiences on any device i have messed with. And thats thanks to the work of others and their directions. I had the same problem as the OP, and i think it was Leaninlar that gave directions to fix the problem.... been great ever since!
I have the new update and it's running great. Is there any way to just enable the setting to allow sideloaded apps like the amazon app store. Is there any way to only modify that 1 setting? Thanks for any help!

Not manually in stock settings. You need to flash my Extras zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. That puts a few extra apps on, but you can go to settings and remove them if you don't want them.

Anyway you could give a list of what those apps are? Is that all that's in the extras zip? A few apps, and the 3rd party install hack? After flashing that 1 zip, the amazon appstore should work? Thanks again for all the help.

look at the description on that thread for the extras zip. It lists what the apps are. And yes, that is basically what the zip is. Yes the Amazon store should work after flashing that.

Thank you so much! My Nook HD+ is damn near perfect now. I appreciate all the help and super quick responses you have given me over the last couple of days. I really appreciate everything you do on the site to help further development on the Nook HD+.
leapinlar - Thank you.
Thank you again. I've been working with PC's since the DOS days, but I'm not a programmer. My first exposure to ADB was when I rooted the original Nook. ADB drivers and device connectivity takes a bit of trial and error. Your excellent zip file work avoids all this. Your gapps/playstore/extras zip file was just want I needed in order to install applications from external sources on my Nook HD+ running 2.1.0. I can now install apps from the Amazon Appstore and sideload apps from apk files (SiriusXM was the first). Keep up the good work (modest donation made).
I officially feel like my Nook 9 is perfect. I can now use the stock interface, since I can now load all of my widgets and app shortcuts on the home screen without having to go through the extras menu. I now have Amazon Kindle and Music, Google Play, Music, Mail, etc and I still get all of the benefits of the Nook itself.
The only thing is that I feel like the Amazon App store has been killing my battery. Otherwise this was a welcome, unexpected update.

I am in the same boat. All I want to do is be able to side load Flash and my N64 app. What steps did you do to be able to take an unrooted stock 2.1 device and flash to allow side loading non market apps? This is all I want. Nothing else but the ability to side load apps.

Hello leapinlar,
On your HD/HD+ CWM thread, you say that you don't need to have an SD card to to enable unknown sources, but you can download the Extras zip file to the internal memory and I can install the file that way. Is that correct. I'm hoping so because I don't have an SD card on me right now.
P.S. I'm a newbie to all of this, so I'd really appreciate your help. I don't want to root my NOOK HD+, i just want to allow unknown sources!

disable unknown sources?
I recently flashed my HD+ back to stock (had gotten some sort of malware on there I think) and added the Extras zip. Works perfectly (thanks leapinlar!), but I've got a dumb question – is there a way to go back and disable “unknown sources”? I'd like to be able to turn it on and off when needed within the settings or somewhere for some extra piece of mind security-wise. I occasionally use the amazon app store or sideload something, but not all that often.
Thanks again,

Not without being rooted. If you are rooted you can use SQLite Editor to manually edit the database, but there is no other way. I would not worry about it. I would worry more about root reseting you than the security issue of having unknown sources activated.

If I go ahead and do this, would anything need to be altered/removed if I need to return the tablet under warranty?
The tablet is for my Mother who's not at all tech savvy - if it were mine I'd be running a custom ROM on it by now - so I need it to be straight forward just in case there are any issues with the tablet.
Is it possible on the stock software that you can sideload apps like adobe flash? Looked high and low and couldn't find a setting in the settings menu.

Yes, you can still use ADB to connect and sideload apps, but it is very difficult to set up. My CWM method is much easier.

Hello guys from xda-developers.com, I desperately need your help. I just got a new Nook HD+ and I live in a country where is very difficult to access to the internet by anyway. So, I can’t register the HD+ to Barnes&Noble site, nor purchase apps or get the HD+ working on.
I just want to use the Nook as a no-wifi stand-alone device for reading, watching movies, gaming, and using apps like calendar, calculator, alarm clock and so on by finding a safe way for sideloading apps and files locally from my computer to it. How I should do this and get the Nook HD+ completely useful? Now the Nook is in test mode, skipping first registration screen with OOBE procedure after a factory reset. I need detailed step-by-step instructions.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash my Universal Root rev3 and my enable Unknown Sources and you can sideload any app you want.

Not sure what you mean, run your own apps. You mean after you installed them, finding them to run? There are two ways.
Sideloaded apps do not show in the stock app drawer. But you can open another screen that does show them. Go to apps and hold your finger on the apps title bar and push the volume up button. An new screen called extras shows. Your apps will be there.
Another way is to sideload an alternate launcher like zeam. Then when you hit the n key it gives you the option of using it by default instead of the stock launcher. Do it. Your sideloaded apps show there.

That is what I meant when I said you would have a challenge doing it without internet.
The problem is those apk files must be installed before they can be run. The normal way to install them after you flashed my zip is to open the apk with a file manager. When you do, a dialog box opens asking if you want to install. Easy enough.
But stock has no file manager to open the apks with. So you have to get one somehow. If you have no internet and no ability to run a store, there is no way to get one. You might try the 'files' function in stock to do it.
Edit: Actually I figured it out for you.
1. Find an apk for a file manager, like root browser, es file manager or other.
2. Copy that apk to your internal sd using your USB cable attached to your PC.
3. Open chrome with your app drawer.
4. In the chrome address bar type the following:
file:///sdcard/nameofapk.apk
5. Hit enter
6. It will ask if you want to keep it, say yes.
7. When it is finished downloading, click on the little down arrow in the top middle of the screen. It will ask if you want to complete the action using two choices. Select package installer.
It will install the apk, hopefully your file manager. Now do the first (extras) method I showed you in my other post to find the app. Then use the file manager to open more apks and install them.

I see I misused “run” for “sideloading.
Before trying that for sideloading a file manager tell me if there is another way to show the “extras” screen as it is difficult to get it show by pushing down volume up button and taping on App’s bar name. It not always work.
And why, if I see the Zem Launcher icon on Settings, Applications, My Apps, as installed, it doesn’t ask for choices when I push down “N” nook button.
Hope to make myself understood.

Yes, that extras screen is hard to activate.
But I have a fix for you. Go to settings and uninstall zeam. Then flash this file:
http://d-h.st/S0c
It is my old "extras" file (not related to the extras screen I was talking about earlier). It will re-install zeam and add root browser, which will let you install apks directly. And now when you do the n, it should give you the default choice.

I flashed the file and reinstalled zeam launcher plus root browser and could sideload the ES File Manager from external SD card but still have to active the "extras" screen to reach to it. Nook buttom doesn’t give options. When pushed down, it takes me immediately to nook side. Movies are not played back either. Is there a way to change completely the Nook system to convert it into a more friendly android tablet?

Yes, you can install CM10.1. Look for the dummies guide for instructions.

The CM10.1.3. And yes, you can use that same SD to flash it. If you want to use Play Store, you also need to flash the gapps zip. Gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip from goo.im.

Just purchased Nook HD+ and let it do it's thing Software Ver 2.1. Realized Flash was an issue so I went to Play Store on my Laptop and accessed version that was loaded to my Droid Bionic. Google said it would load to other devices and it appeared on HD+. However it was not recognized on webpages in Chrome and same unsupported on ur device error occurred. Tried Dolphin and even though it said Flash enabled in settings would not play on sites I visited.
My question is can this be solved through rooting and then loading the Android Flash APK I downloaded from Adobe? And since this is my first time would the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 for Dumies be the way to go or is there a root method that simply unlocks Flash as an unsupported app within the stock OS.
I know I sound like an idiot so apologies for trampling on the lawn and going on the flowers. I really need flash to work on all sites including desktop versions. Thanks for any guidance.
The official Adobe flash plugin from helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html works fine in Firefox and Dolphin on my CM10.1 HD+. Should not be necessary to root, just allow installation from unknown sources.
Sadly Google has completely disabled flash in mobile chrome.

Sounds like you're suggesting installing CyanogenMod and maybe the Dummies thread. This would give me an environment to load what I need with the unknown sources option that is available on my phone but not on stock HD+. If I don't have to worry about BN Updates messing things up that would be work.You don't need the SD card to be inserted for every bootup after this process I hope. Didn't think so and wouldn't want to after the card recognition problems with some of the newer units.
Thanks for the reply.

If you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature, I have a CWM flashable zip there that allows unknown sources in stock without rooting. Then you can install flash.

So with the HD+ Bootable CWM6028 just add the extras zip to the sdcard. (one more dumb ques) Does it launch the extras or separate launcher required?
Also found this thread and playing catch-up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41165076
could not get flash working on cryogen even if i side loaded it.
however i gave carbon a shot and side loaded flash app and Firefox works perfectly.
never tried Firefox on cryogen it may work give it a try.....
Flash works great with stock or the JB CM 10.1. that I use now.
Leapinlar's Extras installs another launcher called Zeam, which you can use if you wish or uninstall. You can access extra apps in the Stock launcher by simultaneously touching "Apps" on the Apps screen and clicking Vol Up.

The extras zip is just a collection of extra stuff. But what you are interested in is allowing unknown sources so you can install flash. Once you flash the extras zip with CWM, there is nothing else you need to do to be able to install the flash apk. It should sideload and install with a file manager.

Thanks for the answers. I'm going to give it a go without CM or Root for now. If it doesn't work out then plan b. Must have been tossing old low capacity sd cards because the only one left was 1gb. On hold for a day or 2.

The 1GB should work. Use my new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread.

Just a couple final newbie questions.
Should there be any partitions on the SD Card where the image or bootfiles are separate from the zip file extras?
It also seems the laptop does not recognize the image file as taking up most of the 4g card when you go to properties it just shows 5 files before adding the extras zip. Is that correct?
Finally does the extras zip just go to the hd+ root or can it be put in a file folder and flashed from there?.
Thanks for all the newbie catching up.
No separate partitions on this card.
You did not say which method you used, the old procedure or the new.
It should have only the five files plus the unzipped extras file if you put it there. No folders.

I made both but will try the bootfiles card first. Thanks for confirming the image files. I been working a lot lately will get to it finally today.
First try with bootfiles has gotten me the C and progress to 100% then went to welcome and home screen. On top it said it was checking SD Card. Did it not boot to it or is there an advanced menu I need to access? I have downloaded extras zip and flash apk to the device already and was hoping to just point it to them.
OK Got the 1gig card to boot with bootfiles. Also installed extras zip. Couldn't install flash from internal (nor recognized) file or with zeam. Shut down and added flash file to card. Then after reboot put card back in and searched for file with launcher and it did install.
I can play flash videos in chrome and in dolphin but dolphin has full controls that chrome does not. However I still cannot figure out how to play flash files I link to through sites like wiziwig.tv which I use often. If anyone has any ideas about these streaming videos please advise.
Thanks for getting me through and if I eventually need to go with full root or CGM I feel confident it is not that difficult.
Hi there
Excuse my English translator
Thank you so much for all the information shared.
I'm a beginner, some time ago I received my Nook hd plus and I am wanting to be configured to allow unknown sources.
Following the LeapinLar post on this subject:
[CWM / ROOT / UNKNOWN SOURCES] HD / HDPlus Stock Root / other Mods - via CWM flashable zips
I'm going to point 3:
3 Enabling Unknown Sources -. (Rev0 - 09/08/2013) (formerly the Extras zip)
download the necessary file:
NookHD-HDPlus-stock-enable-Unknown-Sources-rev0-(08/09/13). Zip
and...
before and after starting the process I prefer to try to resolve some unknowns:
1.
"You will need To Have booted and set-up stock before flashing this zip."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Excuse my ignorance but what exactly does "have booted" and "set up stock," which is what I should do before installing the file. It is enough to have a bootable SD with CMW and place the file in? Besides changing anything in the configuration of the tablet?
2. The other question is whether this process is reversible to allow unknown sources or have other consequences?.
Thank you in advance!
PS: I hope I have managed to explain this poor English
What that means is you must have turned on the Nook at least once and gone through the process of registering with B&N. In other words, the Nook cannot be brand new and unused.
The process is not normally reversible but there is no need for it to be. However if you "erase and deregister" in settings that does wipe everything including the unknown sources setting.

Thanks for the quick response
Other questions:
- To this I can use any version of CWM or have to be a specific.
- CMW version you use should always use it if I wanted to root or install a room?
- Or you can upgrade easily CMW, if necessary?
Thanks again!
Forgot to say, I ask about the version of CMW because now I have a version EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.6 to install CM11, but to leave for lack of time.
I could use this CWM or perhaps have a specific modification for the installation of CM11.
Excuse my ignorance, maybe I'm asking something obvious. If you have to use one of those in your post, which would be in this case?
Thanks and thanks

You do not need to flash the unknown sources zip if you are going to run CM. It is only to be used on stock (the operating system that the Nook comes with).
And that 6046 version of CWM is only to be used with CM11 and the gapps zip that goes with it. All other zips require an older version of CWM.

For the moment I will not install CM11. I need to study more how the whole proces. Although I have some time reading many things still do not know
So, excuse my ignorance again, so I am unsure which of the CMW listings should use. I can use a Sandisk 8Gb?:
- NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(5/15/13) zip -. [Click for QR Code] (9.36 MB, 34626 views)
is only for 4Gb SD?
- NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-stock-for-small-rev4-(5/15/13) zip -. [Click for QR Code] (5.81 MB, 7789 views)
under 4Gb SD?
- NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-BOOTFILES-r4-(5/15/13) rar -. [Click for QR Code] (5.64 MB, 17466 views)
??? in which cases?
- NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-BOOTFILES-r3-(2/13/13) rar -. [Click for QR Code] (5.34 MB, 6373 views)
??? another version of the above?
Thank you!
If you have an HD+ (the 9" one) then you need the 6028 BOOTFILES one. Notice the HDplus and just HD in the names. Follow the procedure in paragraph 1a in the thread. And yes the SanDisk 8GB is good.

Finally, I am abusing your kindness :angel:
I made a backup with another version of CMW v6.0.4.6. Now, before using the correct version of CMW 6028 I'll do another backup. I guess they are not interchangeable, right? If one day I'll have to restore each backup using the corresponding version of CMW? Or maybe the backups use some standard format?
Thank you so much!
