[Q] Full Android HD+ As Yet???

As an original Nook Color owner from its first day availability, I am now ready to make the leap to the HD+. My primary reason for this is the 8.9 inch screen which emulates "trade paperback" size which has always been my reading goal along with enhanced video.
I have put my NC through numerous iterations over the last two years plus and finally did a full conversion to Android 4.1 a few months ago bidding a permanent farewell to any remaining vestige of the BN software. As the final remaining issue for me was "reading in store" which I no longer need, it was not a difficult decision.
In perusing this forum, I appear to have run afoul of trying to determine if there is a currently viable track for complete conversion of the HD+ eMMc as I simply do not need or want the BN interface. I know full well there are rooted, sdcard, and "hybrid" variations well explained in this forum but simply cannot find or continue to overlook any mention/instruction for full internal conversion as an option.
Am I simply overlooking that info or are we not yet there? If that goal has not yet been obtained, what would be my closest non sdcard option?
I have nothing but accolades and praise for those providing us with the fruits of their efforts. My multiple and varied experiences with my NC provided a truly fascinating experinece and learning curve starting with basic rooting up through several dual boot variations and now in eMMc Jelly Bean and all of its remarkably functional glory! It is clearly continuing with the HD and the "+" and I wish to express my deepest thanks for those continuing efforts in advance.
Any reasoned advice, suggestions, and/or direction would be appreciated.

As yet there is no full replacement of the emmc. The boot loader lock that even checks system makes it very hard.

Verygreenhas said he believes it is possible but not on his priority list, see his CM10 thread. We don't have many developers working it yet. And being CM working properly, kernels, etc are priorities now.

I too came from the Nook Color and have enjoyed the versatility of that device. Unfortunately B&N has locked down this device to make it more difficult to modify it. Your only two choices now is to modify stock with my CWM zips or opt for running CM10/CM10.1 from SD. You can get my CWM zips from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

Get the HD+ and put cm10 via sdcard on it. If you use the right sdcsard (class 4? someone will correct me if I'm wrong) and dont look back. I came from the nook color 10.1 emmc myself. I know how soul crushing it was on there. Lag, reboots, lag, poor display, lag. Did I mention lag? I'd like an emmc too, but seriously you won't notice any difference. Its an amazing tablet with cm10 on it.

I have also had the Nook Color and the Nook Tablet.. the Nook HD/HD+ are awesome. I have always choose to ditch the stock B&N expereince. Currently booting CM10.1 from mircoSD on my NookHD, thanks to some awesome work by others, and its honestly great! maybe a few tiny little lags every now and then, but nothing close to a deal breaker. And its still early... so it can only get better from here. Going HD or HD+, you won't be dissapointed.

Actually this is strange that we dont have still bootloader lock hack. All tech things that i seen on xda forum are ulocked. And now some BN can lock it
I want help but i dont have knowledge for this stage. And with other words i need it too (run custom rom from emmc)..

Verygreen says he thinks it can eventually be done, but his priority is perfecting CM on SD. He says no real need to run it internally when running on SD works so well.

Thanks to all for your comments, updates, and suggestions. I opted to take the "easy way out" this time around and d/l n2a's $19.99 version for the HD+ and installed it on a 32 GB card. Oddly enough, could not get it to run on a new Sandisk Class 10 but it ran on an older class 4 or 6 card that I had used for converted film storage with my NC. Any idea why that happened?
BTW, when formatting a card for the HD+ should we use FAT32 or NTSC?
It is great to have a full JB interface back!
Not at all enamored of the current BN interface which I hope now to leave alone and eventually replace when full eMMc access is achieved. If JB could be made "ready for prime time" on the NC, then I am sure that it is just a matter of time until one of you has a full blown "Eureka" moment and shows the way to a full and total conversion of the HD+.
Will keep you all up-to-date regarding my experiences with the N2A setup.

Actually i need run it internally because i have 12 Nook HD+ and clients who use these just may pull out SD (maybe steal SD too). All restrictions which one i made on ROm for user side is not working anymore.
Seems i need directly constact with Verygreen.
Thanks about sharing information.

Not sure what the above direction has to do with which format (FAT32/NTSC) is best for SDcard use in the HD+ for either simple storage or alternate OS.
Did I miss something or was I unclear?

This quote at this thread is about SD card formating:
For first time install only (you will need 4G or bigger sdcard, smaller ones are not supported and not tested):
gunzip cwm image and write it to your sdcard (entire sdcard not just one partition of it), use either dd on Linux/MacOS or Win32 Image Writer for those impaired by Windows.

And when you follow this guide step by step, you dont need worry about formating your SD to wrong format.

Not all cards are created equal. The recommended card for running a ROM is SanDisk class 4. Others may or may not work well.
And it does not matter what format you had on the card originally before you burned the image to the card. It gets overwritten.
But for using an SD with stock, the card should be formatted Fat32 or ExFat. NTSC does not work.

Hello XDA community let me start by saying thank you for sharing all this great info. I finally made the decision to install over my B&N HD OS and go full Droid using cm-10.1-20130615-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc. Its running like a damn beast BUT one little thing is irking me. Whenever I download an app/game EVERYTHING seems to go to the internal memory and not my freakin' empty 32gb micro sd :good:. Furthermore, I don't even see the option in apps to "move to sd". How can I remedy this issue?
P.S- Yes the Sd card is formatted correctly and can be seen in storage.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Apps2Sd is not supported in CM10.1.
And verygreen has the emmc version of CM10.1 set to use internal memory by default and there is no setting to change that. But I have developed a flashable zip that will swap internal and external SD's so that the default goes to external. See my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and look at item 4.

Is this fairly reliable ? I purchased a 32GB model, thinking I would need it but, after 2 weeks I am hardly using any space. Perhaps I should return and get a 16GB model instead...

I don't get any reboots, but many users do. I think it depends on what apps you have installed and which run in the background that might be causing the crash and reboot.

Hey Leapinlar I tried your advice and I'm not getting any results. Here is exactly what I did.
1. Boot into CWM wiped the system and cache
2. installed cm-10.1-20130624-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc
3. installed NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-verygreen-CM10.1-on-emmc-rev2-(06.16.13).zip
4. Boot into cm-10 went into settings then storage (Verified MicroSD is detected 29gb)
5. Installed HD Widgets and it automatically goes to the Internal Storage
Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me I am lol...
I also do a reboot and try again but no luck. Any other advice? Maybe something I can do manually?

The swap does not effect where things get installed. They will always get installed to internal memory. The swap only effects where apps download and save their media files.
If you are running out of room to install apps, delete or move some of the media files from internal memory. App installation files and internally stored media files share the same free space. If you get rid of some internal media files, more apps can be installed.

[Q] Cannot downgrade to 10 from 10.2

I have tried like 3 times and every time nothing happens. I put the gapps and a file named "cm-10-20130511-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard" onto and sd card. Reboot it into recovery, delete system files, install those two etc, and it always is still cyanogen 10.2 every single time. I want cyanogenmod 10 so that I will be able to play with wii remotes and bluetooth and stuff and yeah. That was one of the main reasons I wanted my nook. If there are any other ways to do that, that would be great as well. And then two more things, when I reinstall and delete system files, all the stuff ont he internal memory are still there and I don't know if it is supposed to be like that? And then another problem with my nook is that sometimes when I try to unlock it the screen just blinks and won't open no matter what and I just have to reboot. And lastly, when I am charging the nook it always jsut keeps blinking no matter what I try. If you could respond asap that would be great, I kinda need it for school and don't feel like installing everything if it won't be permanent. Thanks a lot!
TLDR; I have a lot of issues with my nook!

Yes, you have a lot of questions in that post. First, explain a little better what you are running. That CM10 zip is for an SD install and I am betting you are running CM10.2 on internal memory.
And wiping with CWM usually does not delete media files from internal memory.
And the unlock screen problem is probably the magnet in you cover. Open the cover twice to get around it.
Don't know the problem about charging/blinking.

All I remember is that what I installed the cm 10.2 with is 2 zip files from an sd card, and did the same as I did when I tried 10. However, when I did 10.1 (What i weas running before all of this) I installed through a bootable sd card with zip files. And how do I get rid of stuff on internal? Do i need to? Thanks for all the other answers too. And is the file name I even sent you cm 10? Just want to make sure so I am not being stupid. Also the stuff on my sd card is still all the same I just used a different external sd card for the install. (Which I would rather do if possible)

You probably installed CM10.1 and CM10.2 to internal memory. That is why that one marked sdcard will not work. I don't think there are any CM10 zips that will work on internal memory. They are all for SD. (You can tell because the say 'sdcard' in the name.) Why is it you think you need CM10? If you want it you must install it on SD. There is a thread for it in the dev section. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35087686
If you want to wipe the media files off of internal with CWM, go to mounts and storage and choose 'format data and datamedia'. That will clear the media files. But you do not need to do that unless you are worried others will see it. It makes no difference to installing things.

Ok, is the emmc one the one that I can install on the internal memory? And i dont get it because it says to use the same install method for the one that I did and you say that that install message is wrong. And then, can I still have stuff on my sd card while it has the install on it or does it have to just be for the install. And then for gapps and cwm do I have to install those again? sorry for my stupidity

Yes both the SD install and the emmc install use a bootable CWM SD to install them. But the CWM SDs are different. The CWM menu is the same, but one is coded to install the ROM on internal memory (emmc) and one is coded to put the ROM on the same SD that the CWM is on.
For a long time only SD installs were available, then the developer figured out how to install to emmc. Now almost all ROM zips are for emmc.
You did not answer my question about why you think you need CM10. You said something earlier about wii. I don't think CM10 on the HD supported wii.
You are just too confused to be helped. I suggest you read a lot more.

Sorry I wrote this whole thing to you and then accidently deleted it, the only reason I actually need it is for wii remotes to work via bluetooth. The newer cyanogenmods and android builds broke it so it supposedly only works in cyanogenmod 10
And then in response to the last one, all i need to do is install the emmc? Do i need the newer gapps or cwm? And i just do it the same way as i did before?

Nook HD not charging since CM11 install
This morning I installed the latest CM11 build (M11) on my daughter's Nook HD. Prior to that I was using the stock ROM with no issues. Since installing the ROM the tablet will not charge; rather than showing an orange light the device shows a green light whenever the charger is connected.
It seems possible that my cable has failed at the same time as performing the install, though a little unlikely.

Newbie Questions - B&N HD+
Hi - i am going to flash my B&N HD+ for the first time. i have been reading the forums and instructions and have few questions.
i want to do this without SD card (i can go buy one but i if not needed, i prefer not to use it). is this possible? in the EMMC thread, i still see that the SD card must be used for the flashing/booting. so essentially, to flash CWM 6046, is it possible to not use SD card? and if so, can someone tell me how to do that?
Thanks

I'd suggest that you try resetting the Google Playstore app: go to Settings->Apps->Google Playstore, and do a "force stop" and "clear data" (after which you'll need to re-enter your Google (Gmail) account login/passwd).

CM11 M12 - Device Temperature
Hi all,
After staying around on CM10.2 for a long time due to a few issues with earlier snapshots of CM11, I've decided to upgrade to M12. Finding it runs great on everything I'm doing - definitely smoother performance. One thing I am concerned about is the temperature hike of my tablet, particularly when charged and running a game (in this instance, Terraria). Is anyone finding the back running quite hot? Can feel it on the screen and the left side of the device, but the temperature reading of 32C/90F doesn't seem that bad... it does feel worryingly hot though. Not sure if it's something on my end or a common thing with CM11, but I never had this on any other build.
As a sidenote - do the developers accept donations?

Audio stuttering in Rayman Jungle Run
I just did an SD card install of CM11 on a Nook HD+ and it's been working well (thanks!), except that I've noticed that the audio in Rayman Jungle Run and Rayman Fiesta Run tends to stutter / warble, making it unpleasant to listen to. Youtube and Great Big War Game sound are good. I'm using cm-11-20141129-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip with its initial sdcard image for ovation (sdcard-cwm-early9.img) from the first post. The micro SD card is Samsung class 6 16GB.

Well, what I did, is I found the thread here that describes how to put B&N's OS v2.2.0 on a bootable microSD card. Once I had that working (it's not like B&N is ever going to update the firmware), I did a backup of the Nook's internal storage, and then installed CM11 on the internal storage.
That should solve your performance issues.
Note: You mention an HD+, but then refer to "Ovation", which is the name for the HD, not the HD+. You may want to edit your message to clarify the situation.

Well, what I did, is I found the thread here that describes how to put B&N's OS v2.2.0 on a bootable microSD card. Once I had that working (it's not like B&N is ever going to update the firmware), I did a backup of the Nook's internal storage, and then installed CM11 on the internal storage.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I would have done an internal install, but when I tried to backup the built-in firmware 2.2.0 using CWM 6.0.4.6 (from the OP), I got an error due to the /system partition being unmounted (I'm recalling this from memory; I hope I got it right). I tried using the mount option in CWM, but that failed too. I then said "screw it with the backup... I'll find another on the web", and then tried to do an emmc install of the latest milestone (M12) from the cyanogenmod download site (using SDCARD CWM-based 6.0.4.6 booted from SD... not internal memory), but the install failed with a "status 7" error (IIRC). I also tried using an earlier microSD image (sdcard-cwm-early7.1.img) and tried to install a backup of stock 2.2.0 firmware that I found from another thread here (thinking that maybe I had borked my own from an attempt at installing recovery CWM), but that finished too quickly (yet no errors), and on reboot it didn't appear to have overwritten my own stock firmware. After these efforts spanning a half dozen or so hours of reading, experimenting, etc., I was able to at least get the SD card install working, so I said screw it, I'll just use SD card. But I would really prefer an internal install as you suggest.
I wasn't able to get CWM to boot from internal memory, only SD card (Samsung 16gb class 6). I didn't try very hard though. Maybe this is the reason I can't do an emmc install or backup? Can you only backup internal memory after having booted from CWM recovery (on internal memory, not SD card)?
I was able to find a post somewhere that related the /system problem to rooting, but I never have rooted my Nook HD+ (manufactured Dec'12).
After reading more about the slow 4kB random write performance on most SD cards, I'm thinking of getting a Sandisk class 4 card, but I'd rather not go there if not necessary.
Thanks again.

It looks like you used the installation files meant for creating SD-based ROM image
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42406126&postcount=7 for info/pointers on EMMC installation.

This worked! I now have an emmc install of cm11 M12 from the cyanogenmod site. Since I'm running Ubuntu GNU/Linux, not Windows, I replaced steps 1 to 3 in your instructions in the above link with (at terminal prompt, with microSD card inserted but unmounted):
gunzip emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz
sudo dd if=emmc-cwm-early3.1.img of=/dev/sdb
I then mounted the microSD card and copied (as root) the zip files as in your link, all with terminal. The unmounted /system partition error did not appear, and the M12 install went fine! When wiping I had an error related to sd-ext missing, but from some more searching I concluded that it was benign.
Thank you for helping me out. I was starting to give up before the help I've received here. I'm generally really pleased with the performance of cm11 on Nook HD+ so far. I'm not yet noticing much difference between emmc and sd-card installs, performance-wise.
Unfortunately, the earlier performance problem (sound stuttering/warbling in Rayman Jungle Run) is still there using this internal / emmc install vs. the earlier SD-based install of cm11, which suggests that the problem is in cm11 itself. On stock firmware (version 2.2.0 I believe when tested), Rayman Jungle Run ran fine (no sound problems at all). The sound problem may be a slowdown problem, but it's not severe.

Any ROM that is stable with the Nook Color on SD I and still can be downloaded 2018?

I would like to turn my Nook into a simple android tablet for web surfing etc and have tried to find any coherent install instructions with download links that still work but so far failed. Given how old the Nook hardware is I do not want to spend money on any ready made image.
I do not care so much what flavor of ROM to use as long as Web browser, Youtube and the Android marketplace works so I can install some basic apps.
Anybody that can point me to a good guide?

In search of the same thing. I've got the BNRV200A what about yourself?

Same boat here.
Found out factory reset. Power on, let go and (almost?) immediately hold power and "n" for about 6 seconds like I had read elsewhere.
I end up letting them go before the "read anywhere" text disappears.

All CyanogenMod seems to be down, in favor of LineageOS?
Not sure if I need ClockworkModRecovery (CWMR) depending on which OS I want.
I see Froyo mentioned a lot, but not sure if those sources are old as well.
That being the android version 2.2 that matches what the Barnes & Noble OS is built on top of.
Found a good guide, old or not, that goes through those and ideas. I'll probably stick to SD card installation when possible and not the eMMC route.

It seems to get anything started we need adb access to install CWMR in order to install other OSes, and for that, one would need the Windows drivers for the Nook Color: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882751
So I am out of luck for Macs. adb root responds "Error: no devices found".
After a successful adb, some commands: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078855
If I get that working, I would continue with the Rec images form the instructions in the CM13 thread, and somehow with LineageOS files. The CyanogenMod (CM) file seems easier to picture without having completed the process yet, as that is simply an image file to write directly to the SD card.
I guess LineageOS would install from zip which I'm guessing is what I need CWMR
A nice vanilla ASOP / Android install might be recommended as well, as that seems to already be ready into a format for burning directly to the SD card, and for the Nook Color to boot off of without any internal modifications or previous PC preparations: https://www.lifewire.com/turn-nook-color-to-android-tablet-2740672

I found a YouTube video today that included all three links that seemed to be dead everywhere you go in order to put CyanogenMod on nook color. I followed the directions downloaded the links and what do you know? I now have a nook color Android.

Why not just post a link here. I've been trying to find everything needed.

I'm looking for CM10 or 11 + the appropriate Gapps. anyone have any luck finding links that aren't dead?

I would really like any information on this as well. I have an early ROM on my Nook Color already, but I think it's an eMMC.

What I used, back in 2016...
I've got a NookColor and had successfully rooted the NookColor (Encore) with CM. I haven't really touched it since then, but I wanted to see if I could use it for anything else, or get a small OS on it to use it as a Calendar, Weather and such, or see about using the screen with a Raspberry PI 3b or a MiSTer and such for any other projects.
Here's a link to what I used, I don't remember the process (If I can find the links, I'll post them). However, here are files I have and used.

BUT! i would not suggest flashing gapps as it basically makes it unusably slow, use apkpure or micro g. i would also suggest enabling stage fright video in the build.prop, less battery drain on youtube/youtube vanced.

Did anyone get this working? I have the BNRV200A running Nook 1.4.3 OS. I haven't found a way to get the SD Card to boot to recovery to install CM. All the CWM .img files don't get it to boot to recovery, only to the normal Nook OS.

Yes, BNRV200A. It's a Nook Color. I tried the 1 gb eyeballer and can't get it to recovery boot. Not sure if I tried the Emmc, but I think so. Will look at when I get home. Using a 16 gb SanDisk sd. Thanks so much.

Oh, it is the BNRV200A, I thought it was just Bnrv200 :silly: I'm not sure why its not working, what speed is it? I was using a class 10. And after you flash the image the computer should that the SD card is smaller than it really is. And you flash the Emmc after you boot into the clockworkmod SD image, it installs on the internal storage.
Edit: sorry, it's been forever since I rooted my nook. The first install you are supposed to flash this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2787369&d=1402239353, to the SD card, and put any roms or gapps on the same SD card, the image on the SD card will automatically flash whichever cm rom you put on the SD card plus gapps if you put them on there, which I do not recommend, because it shows down the device a lot

So I tried flashing this and the eyeballer 1gb and neither would boot into recovery or install anything. Just boots to Nook OS again. Were you using Nook OS 1.4.3 when you did the flash/installs?
SD card is actually 16 gb, class 2, Samsung. Only thing that has booted into recovery was the img/zip here, but it was not for Nook Color, and the size limit after flash was 90 mb.

Oh, ?um, try a class 4 or above.
I always found it funny that to root a Nook Color you need a class 4 or abov but fon a Nook HD you need a class 4 or below?

Gosh, I hope that will fix it. I tried this 2 gb SanDisk, but it's from 2004 I think and who knows what class. Didn't work either. Will have to find another one somewhere.
