You can download to the nook and transfer with the cable to the PC. After downloading and transferring the required files, just make a bootable SD per the instructions 1a in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Then use that to install the Unknown Sources zip. No need for root if you don't want it.

[Q] Installing CM10 on sdcard, Need Help (Solved)

I've downloaded, " sdcard-cwm-early3.img.gz " and " cm-10-20121228-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip " and I have the " win32diskimager-source.zip". This is far as I've got. Now do I write the " sdcard-cwm-early3.img.gz " to the micro sdcard and copy the "cm-10-20121228-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip" file to the sd card?
I'm using verygreen's Nook HD+ CM10 development (sdcard) thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35087686
This the thread im trying use to intall cm10
Step 1: Don't cross-post. This is the appropriate forum for your request, not the dev thread.
Before you do anything, get ADB working. The instructions are in Leapinlar's tips thread. You only need it to move the CM10 zip to the correct partition on the SD card, but there's practically no other way to accomplish that step in Windows. You'll want the CM10 zip in the same folder as your adb.exe.
Unzip the .gz (it's a compressed format like .zip or .rar, if nothing on your PC recognizes it then grab 7zip).
Install win32diskimager on your PC.
With the SD plugged into your computer, start the program and use it to write the image to the SD card (I'm fuzzy on the specifics of this process because I use WinImage, but I think it's quite straightforward and you can Google up dozens of step-by-steps).
Put the SD back in your powered-off HD+ and power it on. Plug it into your PC w/ the USB cord.
From there, verygreen's instructions should be straightforward enough. Do what he says in ClockworkMod on your Nook and use the command he provides in ADB on your PC.
Thanks man I got it work but I have one more question. I got the cm10 to work but then I decided to root my hd+, and my question is can I still possible to run the cm10 on the sd card if it's rooted?

The device will try to boot first from the SD slot regardless of what you do to stock, so if you have a bootable CM10 card in there, it will boot.
Just to clarify- you need a different sd for stock- this cm one will not be readable

[Q] Gapps problem in verygreen's CM10 for Nook HD+

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. I don't remember seeing goo.im in the apps, but I wasn't really looking. I've used it before in other circumstances. I'll take a look when I get home. Thanks for the help.

Need Help Installing SD Duel Boot on Nook Please.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087988&page=1
I want to install this dual boot on my nook plus but I am not having much luck.
The nook hd plus had firmware 2.1.0 if it matters.
I downloaded cwm early 7.1 (sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img.gz and unzipped the image fie with 7zip.
I then downloaded Winimage version 9.0 and selected the E drive where my brand new san disk 16 gig SDSDQ-016G-AW46A
When I clicked the write button and I get a message the current image format is not supported. It will be resized. Do you want to continue which I did. I then appears to write the image because I see files on the micro sd card. So I stick the sd in the nook and suspecting I will get a boot loader and I get nothing but the normal nook boot screens. Also it is not real clear how I will install cm-10.1-20130719-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip. IE whether I download it to the nook or the sd card and if I need to extract the zip ahead of time.
I really want to get this working soon and I really do want to run completely off the SD card. If anyone can please help without just referring to links to posts that are not written very well I would appreciate it. I have actually RTFM allot of these posts and they seam to be missing allot of important details and steps assuming you have done this before. On a side note it mentioned download other apps you may want is google play and allot of key stuff missing in these builds? Thanks.

Don't use winimage to write the image to sd, use win32diskimager free on the web.
Also some of the newer HD+'s are hard to get to boot to SD. Just keep trying to burn and boot. You have o get it to boot to SD or it can't install the CM10.1.
You copy the CM10.1 zip to internal memory when running stock. Then when you boot to the SD, install it from internal memory.

I am using this duel boot method running root on SD. I was wondering how do I upgrade the ssd to the latest sd only version without loosing my installed stuff and settings? Also can the daily builds be run on the rom only version while maintaining installed programs and settings? If so what is the easiest way using an sd card only boot? I want to preserve the original nook for now is why I am using this method. Thanks.

To update to a newer version of the same ROM, just flash the newer SD version over the top of the old version using the same CWM that you flashed the original. All your apps and settings should remain.

So do I copy the latest update to the rooted os on the sd card or do I have to boot back to the original nook os and download it there? Then is there an option in the clockwork mod to upgrade the zip file so I do not loose my installed stuff on my rooted SD card boot? What is the option in clockwork to do it correctly?

You can do everything from your SD. Just download the new zip, boot to CWM and install zip from SD. It will keep your apps intact.

CM10.1 uses a new protocol for connecting to PC's called MTP. And it make a difference which PC operating system you are running. The files do not show up as a drive letter but as a named section low in the file explorer's left pane.

[Q] Nook HD file support

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.

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.
