v1.3 to 4-6-16

I installed manualnooter-4-5-18 with no problem. But when I install manualnooter-4-6-16 device gets stuck on colorful Nook Color logo show.
My version is 1.3.
I also need some advice:
1. Isn't it better to use cm-7.2.0-encore instead of original OS? I can't decide.
2. Shouldn't I update to more recent versions of nook software (higher than 1.3) then mod it?
Thank you for software and support

It depends on what you want.
If you are invested in the nook store with lots of purchased apps or want to read interactive kids books, stay with stock. If you stay with stock, upgrade to 1.4.3 (you can get a CWM flashable version by looking in my tips thread linked in my signature) and root with Manual Nooter. I think it is up to 5.08.20.
If you are not invested in stock, definitely go to CM7.2. It is smooth and very stable.

So I decided to go with CM7.2 but
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
says it only works with 1.2. I got the link to wiki from here.
And one technical question, does CM7.2 remove original Nook Color OS completely? If so why its version matters?

Yes, if you install CMx on EMMC it will replace B&N ROM on the device.
That is an old instruction... The reason that method only works with 1.2 is because they have you rooting it and installing CWM on EMMC. By making a bootable SD and installing CMx from there, there is no reason to root the B&N ROM before installation... so you can install it regardless of ROM on you NookColor.

So I just copy the CM into the flash (that I had made it bootable with CWM) and install CM from there. I create a backup using CWM.

Issues With Touchpad

Hello, I have had a touchpad for some time and but CM9 and CWM on it some time ago, but it started having some issues recently. So I figured I should try and reinstall a newer version of CM and start from scratch.
I went to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026692 and downloaded both the skz+tenderloin-1.10.zip and the gapps zip.
I then placed those into the Download folder on the touchpad.
This is where things took a turn. I rebooted to get into CWM, upon selecting it from the boot menu it kept restarting back to the boot menu. After a few tries it got into CWM. I then wiped the data and did a factory reset, wiped the cache, and then wiped the dalvik like the post said to do. I then went to install zip from sdcard. Found the skz+tenderloin zip and chose to install that. CWM says it starts to install but then before the progress bar fills up at all...it resets back to the bootloader.
At this point I am at a loss with what to do and I would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
UPDATE: I figured starting from scratch would be the best bet, so I have uninstalled CM9 and CWM using ACMEUninstall. Now I am wondering if it is worth using CM10 as my default Android or should I stick with the best CM9.
Either way, if I should use CM9 or 10 can someone either help me or point me in the right direction for the best tutorial on doing this properly?

Restore a backup then DL an updated version of CM9 to flash or upgrade to ACMEInstaller3 to give you a larger system partition along with the latest version of CWM in order to install a CM10 rom apart from oats which does not require the extra space .
There are numerous guides and you should probably read up on a little bit before just flashing a rom to avoid the problems you are having .

The issue I am encountering is there is a ton of info out there, some outdated some not. I restored back to stock webOS with nothing else. I have ACMEInstaller 3 in the Palm directory, so I am ready to install the most stable/best CM9 currently out there, I just don't know which tutorial is the best one to follow. Could you perhaps just link me to one you recommend?

Should I use CM10 or stick with 9? People say there are still issues with it and it's more of a preview build and not really meant to be used as your standard OS.

I installed CM9 based on the link above with the AIO package. It worked flawlessly, hopefully my freezing/restarting issues happen less often now. Thanks to all who offered help.

I can tell you that I use my Schizoid as my daily driver, and it's not a preview.

[Q] restored to stock, but cyanoboot still there

I installed CM10.1 on my 2-week old nook HD+, following these (excellent) instructions.
Actually before that I was having charging problems - the charging light went green occasionally when the nook was plugged in, even when the battery was low, and so it thought it was charged and stopped charging.
Anyway, this charging problem got worse and worse, so I restored to the backup of my stock rom, confirmed the problem, discussed it with nook support and they said return it.
My problem:
The nook appears to be back to how it was in all but one respect: if (within the stock OS) I "erase and deregister" to do a factory reset, in the reboot sequence it comes up with cyanoboot and says something like "this is not rooted, do you want to root it?", if I click no it continues, and looks like a normal stock nook hd+.
My question: How can I remove this cyanoboot, so everything really is exactly how I bought it?
Thanks a million.

I literally just did the same thing. I was trying to install CM to SDCard, but must have gotten the wrong rom or boot image (I can't remember which decides where to actually install the ROM). Now I'm getting prompted to setup my CyanogenMod account.

For both of you, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read items 5 and 6. A restore of a backed up stock will restore most of stock, but if you also put a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) on internal memory, it will not restore the stock recovery.
The solution for both of you is to flash one of my plain stock ROMs from item 6. Be sure to factory reset with recovery too.
Edit: And for you sflesch, the Nook HD/HD+ is different than the Nook Color, it is the ROM zip itself that determines where the ROM gets installed. You must get a specially prepared ROM directly from an SD thread here for it to install on SD. Any ROMs you get directly from CM will install to internal memory no matter which CWM you use.

Thanks! Sorry for the other post. I figured I would share here, but you beat me to it. So I did reset factory before the rom install, and get Cwm boot screen, then bn stock. Is that because I used the rooted rom?

So the rooted ROM 2.1.1 will have cwm installed on the firmware of the device? I realize (at least I think) that's always been the case wen you root a device, but I always associated rooting a device with installing a CM flavor. I guess I was just thinking rooted stock means stock wit root access, not realizing you had to have cwm also.
p.s. I'll send another beer your way later this week.

No it does not have CWM. It has Cyanoboot as a second bootloader to help break the protection scheme. That is what you are seeing. If you want CWM on internal memory you must flash it separately.
And you are right, rooting is adding root access to an existing ROM, not installing CM. CM happens to be already made with root access, but installing CM is not rooting.

I should know better than to mix up my terminology and pay more attention. Yes, Cyanoboot I think is what I was seeing. So, in short, is there a way to get root access/install from unknown sources, etc. without actually having the Cyanoboot screen? My Nook is still under warranty and, although I generally trust you guys, I'm afraid I may mess something up myself and render it useless.

Yes, you can use the old root. And you don't need root for unknown sources.
Edit: You will need to flash the plain stock ROM to remove the second bootloader and root files first.

N00B question from an old-timer

I have a Galaxy Tab s2 (810) and am currently running 5.1.1 (optimalROM R1-1 DEODEX) and I'm stumped.
I've been flashing ROMs on Androids for years. Always the process is:
Root the device
Install new boot loader (Currently TWRP)
Download the zip file for the ROM and GAPPS onto my Mac.
Copy the files to the external SD
Reboot Galaxy into TWRP
Factory reset
Flash new ROM and GAPPS
Reboot.
Subsequent flashings don't require the first two steps.
I want to try MM so I looked on the forum, and downloaded one of the CyanogenMod 13 betas. After flashing, I got caught in a boot loop, so I restored my backup. Then I read the flashing instructions more carefully, and learned that I must revert to the "Factory" version of MM before I can flash CM 13.
Here are my questions:
Won't that put me back at square 1? have to re-root and install TWRP again?
Where can I get the correct version of the "Factory" rom? The download sites I've found are all kind of sleazy looking pay-for-download sites.
Is there even a version available in English? All of the options seem to be European or far-east countries.
It looks like a utility called ODIN is required, but it appears to be a Windows executable. What do I do on the Mac?
WHY is all this nonsense necessary in the first place? I've never encountered anything like it in literally hundreds of download/flash experiences. I did have to repartition the memory on my Xoom, but there was a separate utility to do that.
Thanks for the help

i can answer a few of your questions:
you can try this http://techbeasts.com/download-odin-jdoin3-mac/ odin for mac, not tried it myself though or you could try running odin via WINE on your mac
you can get the latest firmware/software from https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-T810/ you can sign up for a free account and it takes a few hours to download the firmware though!
install that via odin and you will be back to factory settings

Why don't you just flash the stock mm firmware?

See my questions above. I was hoping to not have to start all over again as if I had just bought a new galaxy. I've never encountered this kind of situation with any other device. Usually a "Factory Reset" followed by flashing the CM ROM is adequate. I'm guessing there is something unique about the hardware design that requires all these contortions.

You won't lose anything by updating to mm.
Your data, apps, settings and everything else will be as they were previously.
The firmware only updates the OS and doesn't wipe anything.

I believe it has something to do with resizing the partitions (or adding an extra one), so that's why you have to update to stock Marshmallow.

Finally: trying to root and upgrade my Nook HD+ - Issues installing the CM11

Hi there,
I got an Nook HD+ and I want to install a CM, because the stock is too slow.
I decided for the CM11 Nightly, because I anyway only use it to watch movies and read comics.
I followed this instruction here from digixmax:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49192422&postcount=1
I followed all the steps, did a couple of mistakes, had to go back and so forth.
But I finally got a matching CMW and CM from a backup from digixmax:
I used that CMW:
emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz
And that CM:
cm-11-20160815-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
It always get stuck at the point when installing the CM.
It starts to install the cm11, runs a while and then aborts with the same message as above:
E: Can't open /external........zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
I also tried the CM:
cm-11-20160612-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
cm-11-20151122-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip
Same result, although one of them takes longer till the error appears.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks a lot.
I really want to get my HD+ running, as I don't want to throw it away.

When I finally convinced my husband to take the plunge from stock to CM 11 for his HD, I followed these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42406126&postcount=7 (also includes HD+)
As for the ROM, I chose the snapshot linked from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71448418&postcount=2247 (also includes HD+).
Although my only other ROM flashing experience was with my Nook Tablet, I had no problem with the instructions or ROMs I have referenced. We have since moved on to CM 12.1 (ROM by @amaces) following these instructions: https://liliputing.com/2015/09/how-to-install-android-5-1-on-a-nook-hd-or-nook-hd.html
Again, no problems (at least not until later but maybe a hardware issue, I don't know....). The CM 12.1 ROM can be found in the "obsolete" folder here: https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww, should be cm-12.1-20151018-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip, somewhere on page 6 of the obsolete folder display.

I am a little ashamed.
I tried so many things and got on the nerves of digixmax.
I tried it again and again it did not work.
I changed SD card and the first attempt worked.
That means the SD card was the problem.
I currently is loading into CM11.
Thanks a lot everyone for their help!
