Hi Forum
I'm still a newbie in all this android business, I try to read as many threads as possible before asking questions, however I just read A LOT about this MIUI, and people said there was released one for Optimus 2X? I just can't find it anywhere on the MIUI site.
Also if I do want this, how do I go about installing it? Can something go bad? I just don't want to brick my phone as I was close to doing so when I was playing around with flashing my SE phones
Help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards

Hi, you might wanna start and flash CyanogenMod first, also that is the best path to MIUI since the whole structure of MIUI for O2X is CM7. So go ahead to the CM7 thread and follow the guide there (I believe there is one).
I can't however tell you that not everything will go OK, since I don't know what knowledge do you have, but just be careful and everything will go great.
As for the MIUI installation it is somewhere in the only miui Thread at the moment in the development section.

miui germany .de celebration HD beta version ^^
i think they removed the link
I found the link, but what is the process? I understand I have to install RomManager, then clockworkrecovery, place the miui .zip on my SD card (only got internal, is that ok?), boot into recovery, "install from zip"
Is that all? Anything I need to do before?
i am also interested in this
Anyone with time and generosity who wants to help us newbies ?
External is needed if I'm right someone may be able to back me up with that but basically use rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery (cwm). Use volume buttons to move up and down Recovery menu and power button to select, it's recommended to make a nandroid backup before flashing so you always have an go back to how it was if anything goes wrong. Next step after backup is to factory reset, wipe cache partition, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache and battery stats. Now go to install zip from sd card and then choose zip from sd card and select your rom and flash and reboot. I'm new to this also so hope this helps.

but where does one get the zip image
The zip file is no problem, are you sure about the external SD thing tho? I don't have one
if you wqnt to flash roms you should get one. i got a 16gb one for about 14 euros from amazon
Could you link me to that ?

Wrong ! There are 2 versions of CWM. One for external and one for internal.
Go to dev section and search
As others have said, start with cyanogen to "cut you teeth" and then you can move to the MIUI ROM
MIUIUIUIUIUI is *dogshite* awful, but the installation process still remains the same. Flash zip. You do not need an external SD, you just need to read a bit more on recovery mounts.
Personally, CYANOGENMOD ALL THE WAY.
But what is the point installing cynagenmod and then installing MIUI right after?
the current MIUI for o2x is based off CM7.
But wouldn't it be the same as installing it from Stock in comparison to installing it from CM, won't I have to wipe and factory everything anyway?
Please clarify As said, I'm still very new to all of this!
if you are concern about bricking i suggest u make a nandroid backup or have another working rom on your sdcard. other than that process is the same.
Is there any way to do this without internet connection on my phone? My carrier stopped my internet connection because I forgot a bill I can't get rom manager due to not being able to get to market, any .apk or such?
stupid me didn't backup and i upgraded to the hd+ and want to return the hd to office max. i read leapinlar thread and for the life of me i cant find the zip download or directions on how to return to stock on hd. i have cm 10.1 installed with custom recovery. sorry guys lots of info on the pages and i must be missing it or i am confused lol. i tried to change the npk to zip and do it but i get a bad error. forget it. found them. hope it works
Make a backup of what you have for use if flashing plain stock fails. There are links to plain stock files in item 6 of leapinlar's Android Development thread about Stock and Extras on the first message. Be warned, I had trouble with it before I restored a stock backup I'd made prior to installing cm 10.1. Once stock is onboard you can use the advanced menu to reformat the internal data and data/media (sdcard). You can also reregister and do a deregister once stock is onboard. BTW, OfficeMax here stipulates a 15% fee on returns.

Hey guys,
I'm currently running CyanogenMod 10.1 from last week, very impressed with it!
I see there is a new version which fixes Deep Sleep.
Could someone please be kind enough to confirm the update procedure?
Flash the latest [LATEST][07/26] BETA CM10.1 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL while in TWRP, then flash the CAM-FIX2.ZIP. (no need to restart between both?).
Also, do I need to clear any wipe anything?
Will I loose any aps? or data?
Thanks so much for your time.
All I would suggest doing is wiping system, cache, and dalvik, then flashing it. I heard that the cam fix is the entire ROM, so u may not need to flash previous deep sleep fixed version first, you should know right away though because the zip file would be at least a few hundred mb if its the full ROM. Also I believe you will also need to flash the gapps again, you won't lose any of your stuff but u may have to sign back into the Google store again. If anybody sees this and wants to add on to what I said or correct me please feel free to. I haven't updated mine yet because I don't use base cm that hashcode releases, I use jesters, and as such I haven't ever updated my cm os before, but I am versed in the procedure. Anyways good luck!

Considering the deep sleep fix is kernel related, you can probably get by with just flashing it over your existing ROM.
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?

Yes, the new root adds that.

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.

Hi Everybody,
I tried to look for situations similar to my own but couldn't seem to find any. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796 to root my new 32 gig Nook HD + and everything was going fine up to step 9. When I tried to install the cm 11 zip, I was getting a status 7 error, and as an idiot I forgot to backup my Nook. So I completely understand that it is my fault, but I was wondering i there is any way to go back to stock rom, because all my Nook does is boot up to the CWM. Thank you guys for the help!
Flash correct CWM. CM 11 needs different recovery. Check verygreen's thread

I downloaded the version from the thread then installed it from the CWM menu. Is the version still 6.0.4.6? Because even after I install it I keep getting the status 7 error when I try to install cm11.

Two places to point you:
1. To install CM 11, you should make sure you are using the CWM version from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
2. To return to stock, you can find info and the stock images on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
Page down to item 6 in the original post on this thread, which will provide you with the links to various versions of stock.
Good luck.

See I've tried using the CWM from the first link, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I know this will make me sound like a noob, but when the instructions say that I need to "flash" the recovery image (and so on and so forth) it just means to install them through the ClockWork Mod menu correct? Because even after I flash the cwm recovery image, it doesn't make a difference. I still keep getting a status 7 error when I try to install CM 11. I'm also worried that because I put the cwm internally on my Nook (at least I assume I did from what I got from following the guide) I wont be able to change it.
Sorry I keep bugging you guys, I understand if I screwed myself over, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can do to fix my HD+ if possible.
A few more thoughts

Yes, when the instructions say to "flash" they do mean install via CWM, as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
in the section of the original post titled "Back up stock ROM & Install CM 10.1 or CM10.2"
Typically you get a status 7 error for one of two reasons: 1) wrong version of CWM, 2) the ROM you are trying to flash/install isn't actually for your device (or, at least that's what CWM believes). This may be a silly question, but are you sure you have the right version of CM? You downloaded from here, http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation I assume, and you're using one of the CM11 nightlies? If so, there's a small chance you've got a bad / corrupt download. I'd re-download CM11 and try again.
If that doesn't work, I would go to leapinlar's thread (the second one I mentioned in my prior post), scroll down to item 6, and follow that process to revert to stock (including stock recovery). At that point, you will be back to where you started -- stock ROM and stock recovery. Once you are back to stock, you can have another go at it. Since the CM11 install seems to be giving you trouble, you might try 10.1, following verygreen's instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553 there is also a link in that thread to a simplified list of instructions. FWIW, I'm on 10.1.3 stable and haven't found a compelling reason to move (although I probably will at some point). Another option would be try 10.2 following verygreen's instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389813
