I've ran into an issue with my Nook HD+ that is a bit strange. The short version is I can boot into CWM 6.0.4.6 (EMMC), but the Nook otherwise bootloops, crashing on the CM11 boot animation.
Here is the long version:
-Ran the latest CM11 nightlies, issues arose shortly after installing xposed/xmultiwindow, it ran for a while before I hit bootloops/booting into a crashed system ui. Can't confirm correlation, since it ran for a month before issue. Running a mid October nightly.
-Flashing CM11 gave a Status 7 error, invalid symlinks.
-CM10.2, Slimbean/kat, TWRP all flashed successfully but never actually wrote (yes, all ovation/HD+ specific).
-Wont boot from SD
-Factory Reset crashes CWM
-Formatted /system and /data successfully, but i ran a backup as a test and everything still appears to be there (apks, etc.)
-Flashed stock 2.2 and recovery, halted on the "Ovation" assert, when i removed the assert the install just aborted.
-8 interrupted boot cycles didn't solve it.
That is where I'm at now. The only 2 other roads I've seen is I have an EMMC brick and it's hopeless (but I never enabled TRIM/was mindful of which nightly i flashed), or /bootdata went bad on me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? Let me know if there is any more information i can provide.
Thanks for all this community does, I've been a lurker since the glory Nook Color days.
Sounds like a brick to me. With CM11 it can brick as it tries to run trim automatically on some devices.

NOOOOO. Thank you for the response, I figured, I just didn't want to believe it.
Just two follow up questions:
•If the EMMC is bricked, is there still hope for an SD boot?
•Futile as it may be, I noticed you were able to create /bootdata recoveries. Do you mind sharing how to go about that?

If it won't format, attempting to fix bootdata will not help.
And yes, both verygreen and succulent have made SD versions of CM that run with bricked emmc. I don't know where to find succulent's since he does not post on xda, but you can find verygreen's by searching for 'noemmc'.

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.

Look at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. I have a warning in my warning box about the new units and how sometimes they are hard to boot and and a link to a thread where some users have tips to help.

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)

I think I followed one of your guides, but in place of 10.2, I used a CM11 build I found on the Cyanogenmod wiki.

I want to upgrade to 11 releases but not able to do it. initially it was due to the CWM. now i have the latest cwm installed.
I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796
but everytime after installing all the thre zips( recovery,Cm11,pa gapps ) when i reboot it is simply stuck at cyanoboot universal bootloader logo.only option i have is put the micro sd in and reboot and restore the back up again.
Can anyone help me on this. i dis the install after factory reset so it's clean.
one thing i do noticed is the CM11 got installed within 2-3 seconds. is this supposed to be so quick.
I already tried the full process twice but no luck. :crying:
It is not supposed to be that fast. You probably have a bad download. Start over.

Nook HD+ HDMI Video but no sound - bokbokan SD bootable

No Joy
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!
update installation steps
Hello,
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?).
Thanks

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.

With the CM11 install that I have seen on here, does it boot straight into 4.4 no Nook at all? If so what happens to my current data?
I don't mind if it runs 4.4 or was even looking at the CM12.1. I have an iPad Air that I mostly use, but love this Nook and have had it for a while, I figured that I would make use of it.

If you run CM11 or CM12 it directly replaces the ROM and data already there. No stock is left. All data is wiped.

Actually either verygreen and bokbokan released sdcard builds of cm11 for ovation, but they were updated last november.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
There are no instructions for SD card install in verygreenś thread, but I think you can follow the same procedure detailed in cm10.x sdcard instrucutions.
I did a CM11 install that is in leapinliar's post, was pretty easy to do.
If I wanted to update to CM12.1 or put twrp on what would I need to do?

I think leapilar listed almost everything useful to nook hd(+) in his signature.
IIRC, I took these steps to have both recovery and rom in my ovation emmc:
1) create a micro SD card with a recovery (you probably did it already when flashed cm11)
2) Download a newer (cm12 compatible) recovery and copy to sdcard (I'm using emmc twrp 2.8.6.0 built by amaces but there are older builds compatible, including cwm)
3) flash recovery (it'll replace nook stock recovery with the one you're flashing. People says it may be more difficult to fix your nook in case you experience emmc issues. I've never had any issues so I can't tell)
4) reboot to newer recovery, wipe /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache and /system, then flash cm12.1 rom with cm12.1 gapps (cm12 gapps won't work in cm12.1 and vice versa)
PS: I'm afraid .img files aren't flashable via recovery. To flash 2.8.6.0 I used Flashify. You can get it in play store and use it if you are rooted. This will make the process a lot easier since you won't need to prepare an sdcard.
