Wish I stayed with 4.2.2
This was allegedly a STABLE version as those are the only ones Im pdating to per my CM update settings.
I do not use nightlies.
Unfortunately I lost connection to GOOGLE PLAY STORE on both of my Nook hd+ tablets...same night I ran the update to 4.3 from 4.2
Im getting the constant *No connection..Retry* error.
Watched many *fix-it* videos on YouTube.....none of the tricks worked.
cleared, data, cache, force stopped, rebooted, unistalled, reinstalled......nothing.
unistalled again 4.4.21 and even istalled the latest 4.4.22 Gogle play store......still the same error.
very frustrated since this was allegedly a STABLE version.
Now I cannot access the Play Store with both of our tablets.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated !
Did you remember to upgrade your gapps when you moved to cm 10.2? It requires 20130813.

That did the trick.....
I remember the need for new gaps when 4.3 came out a while ago.
I thought it needed to be done only then by those that wanted to upgrade early.
I (wrongly) presumed that the new gapps would be included with new 'stable' versions CM ROMs.
(Especially since no warning or instructions for new gapps popped up during 4.3 installation).
Now I know that gapps is something that always needs to be installed separately.
Thank you for your reply leapinlar !!
Where can I download 20130813? When I go to goo.im I get "The file you requested was not found"

There is no need to look for newer version of Gapps. Just follow the guide below

The guide you linked attempts to look for solutions to the issue, which may not solve the issue.
The best/only way is to update gapps if you upgrade your Android version.
You can download all gapps from here: http://goo.im/gapps (they are current changing servers which host the files, so you may run into problems if you try right now; later on should be perfect).
All the best.

all i did was do an upgrade. then loaded the appropriate gapps.zip. idk how to delete the cache from the store itself. also whenever i try to use anything google related, it basically cause the gapps process to force close.
Go to settings apps all you will find all the Google apps listed there. If that doesn't work do a factory reset and try again,

To get back to a functional HD/HD+, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset with CWM. That should take you back to stock and you should be able to start over.

Greetings, I recently bought myself a nook HD and tried to install CWM recovery on it, but it doesn't take. No matter how many times I boot with the SD card, using the win32diskimager with CWM-6027 image being written. It just...doesn't take. Was 2.1.1 implemented to prevent the SD card from booting? Or is it something I've done wrong during the process (Currently lacking a Micro>standard converter, so I've been using my old android phone as a mount, could this be it). Please let me know! I really want Cyanogen on this locked down device! Thank you!

Yes, the android phone is the problem. You must mount it in your PC. And 2.1.1 did nothing to prevent boot.

New HD SD card booting (rooting) problem?
Well, I have a microSD card for rooting that boots fine in the two HD+ models I bought last June (I just verified this today), but will not boot in the new HD units I bought today.
So, something is different. I'm checking it out, but I thought I'd post this in the interim ...
Edit: Like an idiot, I _ASSUMED_ that because rooting procedures work on both the Nook HD+ and HD, that the bootable SD card is identical. Once I installed the CWM boot for the HD card, booting and rooting were seamless.

Can anyone tell me what is the best way to revert back to the original NOOK HD+ ROM without the CM bootloader? I appreciate your help.

You are right. The rom is from the CM site - download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ovation instead of that thread.
I assumed (seems a wrong assumption) that CM10.1 ROMs are the same and I tend to use an official one. Now, I can install the CM ROM from that thread using the same instructions, but I want to restore the stock NOOK HD+ ROM first. The stock one works well for me.

Then go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash my plain stock zip from item 6.
And you will probably have to start over with your hybrid SD (reburn and reboot) to get the hybrid files set up properly on internal.

Thanks, that stocked ROM works. Now I am trying to do hybrid or pure SD installation. One question regarding the installation in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300132 is that if I take the SD card out, could NOOK HD+ boots straight into the stocked ROM without the step of cyanoboot menu? I.e., nothing is installed into the system partition of the internal memory. It seems like this, but I don't want make a wrong assumption.

I have installed the pure SD ROM. With SD card in, it can boot into the CM ROM, but the BN ROM stops at 99%. Without SD card, it can boot into the BN ROM. Is this expected?

For the old "pure" for CM10.1, yes that is normal. That is why bokbokan and I developed the hybrid to prevent that. His new "pure" for CM10.2 does not do that. It has to do with the number of partitions on the SD.

I have a Nook HD+ that had CM11 installed on it, but recently, the boot time on it went from just under a minute to five minutes (with a 50/50 fail rate). After a failed reboot, I forced it off and turned it back on, only to discover later on that the stock firmware installed it'self back on. Can this happen? What could have caused this?
If you still had stock recovery installed on internal memory the Nook has a boot failure repair mechanism where if it fails to complete a boot 8 times in a row it initiates a self repair where it reinstalls the factory ROM to itself. If you had CWM or TWRP installed to internal memory replacing stock recovery, it will still try to repair itself after an 8 failed boot but will not complete the repair without stock recovery.

If you are talking about the dummies thread, yes, the instructions say to download and install 3 files. One of them is CWM for internal memory. (Edit: But now after looking back at what you installed it was CM11 and my dummies thread does not cover CM11. You must have followed some other guide)

Regardless of which build or method I use, nightly or otherwise, SD, EMMC, or Updating from within CM10, I've never been able to get CM11 working on my Nook HD+ 16GB. Each try ends in my device getting stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen (revolving arrow). The only recovery is to flash back to CM10. Any ideas?

Yes, doing a Factory Reset. Also have tried clearing and not clearing cache, neither seemed to have any effect.
Thanks for your attention. It looks like I've found a build that works. cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-ovation.zip installed and booted rather quickly. None of the other nightly or official/unofficial builds seem to have worked, but I'm up and running now.

Help
Ok so I managed to install cm-11-20140706-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation. Installation ran smoothly and everything was fine (kitkat running ok and I was able to go into main menu etc.), until I powered off the device. I remembered the display sort of paused for a brief moment and the device powered down. As I turned it back on, it boots back to the original factory rom.
I've lost my back up rom and cynoboot now only allow selection of either no.1 (boot from Stock ROM), or no. 4 (boot CWM recovery).
I have tried installing the newer ROM (cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation) but it says E: Can't Open /emmc /cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation.zip (bad) -tried downloading the file again with same result..
Out of desperation I tried all the menu functions from wiping and formatting to hard resetting it, but nothing happens. It can still boot to Stock ROM fine though. Any help to get this thing rooted with kitkat running is much appreciated..
Patience is the key ...

Patience. No, I'm not good at it either, but combined with the slower operations on the bootable microSD card, I had to wait about 15-20 minutes for the revolving arrow to stop. Touch the screen occasionally, so that the processor stays up to speed (I shouldn't think that necessary, but it stopped revolving when I touched the screen after about 20 minutes).
Noob Questions
I realize these questions will likely seem obvious to everyone, but I couldn't find an answer looking through the forum, so I figured I would ask before proceeding to try this;
The instructions say to download the SD Card Image - I see the links under "SD Card Images", but I also see similar looking links under "Cyanoboot Sources"
Example: SD Card Images: HD: sdcard-hummingbird-cm11.0-v1.img
Cyanoboot Sources: HD: u-boot-hummingbird-cm11.tgz
My question is are these the same thing? Do I need both? One or the other?
Maybe some helpful info: I have a Stock Nook HD 8gb running 2.2.0, never done anything to it other than the factory updates.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the great posts
I want to thank everyone for the outstanding work here that allowed a complete noob to take my stale 2 year old Nook HD from blah to WOW in a few simple steps.
I really worried about getting a good SD card, but I was able to exFat format an ADATA 64GB Class 10 card which then tested to 1.62 MB/s on Random Write 4KB (QD=32) on CrystalDiskMark (5 iterations, 50MB). Already owned it as I actually purchased it for the nook, but it seemed like it would not store on the external card.
I followed the instructions exactly as posted on page 1 of this thread and I have the following results: (All confirmed with Screenshots I hope will post)
Total space: 57.12GB! (dramatic improvement over factory Nook HD)
Up time: 18+ hours and going strong with NO forced restarts
Android Version: 4.4.4!

I have the August update installed for the cm11 sd install on the hd+. Simple question:
What's the procedure to install the updated Rom(11/23)? Do I just boot to recovery and
flash the Rom? Or do I have to do some other things ( wipe? and/or flash gapps?).

If you want to keep using this SD based kk, you have no choice but to wait for bokbokan to update to a new version. Other versions of kk will not work on the SD setup.
