[Q] Unable to root nook colour 1.4.2

Hi
I am new to android stuff, and I am trying to root my nook color 1.4.2 by following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
from above guide i am unable to find how to do a complete wipe for nook color 1.4.2 so I followed
http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/05...ware-update-factory-reset-on-your-nook-color/
although its not for 1.4.2, may be to this reason I am unable to do complete wipe nook color 1.4.2.
Also I followed all steps to create a bootable SD card from the 1st source
but unfortunately I am unable to boot nook color from SD card, hence I am not able to root my nook color
Please Help.

usually when this happens there is an issue with the SD card. Reformat it and start again.

Additionally... if you are using an internal SD reader then try buying the cheapest USB reader you can... far too many times this is the issue writing the images to the cards.

That is GMPOWER's ManualNooter thread. If you are running stock 1.4.2, you do not need to do a wipe beforehand. At most, you'd need to do a factory reset via Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device. If you're running an older firmware version, you can reset using the same procedure.

That describes the "8 failed boot" reset method, which is another way of doing the same thing. If you can get into Settings, you don't need to do this.
Follow the other suggestions for your problem creating a bootable uSD card.

I just bought my Nook Color a couple weeks ago. I had 1.4.2 and I'm using a cheap $6 sd card. Use ManualNooter to root it. All the links for this stuff have already been posted in this thread.
On your computer
- Download and open winimage
- disk > restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive
- flash the clockwork img file to the SD
Use the one for your sd size. I had a 4gb card so I used 4gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1 (there is a list of them)
- Once complete drag and drop Manual Nooter 5.02.19 and Apps2SD Stock Kernal onto the sd
Plug the sd car into your nook and turn it on. Once you get to this point you should be able to follow the directions on the regular manual nooter page. Which is something like.
- Wipe all data, cache, ect.
- Install zip from file - ManualNooter #___
- Install Apps2sd file
- Take out sd card, and reboot
- Done
Then from there you can install other roms the same way you installed the manualnooter zip, or use rom manager

just an FYI... you do not wipe data when using manual nooter... preferred method is wipe... download your content... root with manual nooter

Unable to root
I've read multiple threads on different forums and can't find a solution. I'm trying to root a nook color 1.4.2 and install CM7.
I've tried 2 different micro sd cards, made them bootable with windiskimager, using an external card reader, downloaded the files more than once in case earlier ones were corrupted, no go.
The nook has been reset to factory. It will not boot from the SD card. every time I try it just boots normally.
Any suggestions?
Mine and my wifes nooks were older versions and I had no problems rooting and installing CM7. This one belongs to a friend and I'm about ready to throw it out the window!

Check the device information to make certain it is in fact a Nook Color and not a Nook Tablet... we'll go from there.

It sounds like your using win image wrong. Make sure you have the correct clockwork file. My card is 4gb so I'm using 4gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1 and you load that with winimage. Then you drag and drop the manualnooter and apss 2 sd file.

I'm almost positive that it's a nook color. I did a reset, so I'll have to get my friend to sign back into it to check. I was using a 2gb card with a 1gb image. Most threads state that doesn't matter, but I'll try the 2gb image. After burning the image I was then copying the other necessary files straight to the card.

Is it possible to run stock nook color Rom off an sdcard while running cm7.2 kang with mirage kernel on emmc?
I know its possible to install and run other Rom off an sdcard, I was just curious. Thanks in advanced if its possible or not.

No. I know dizzyden was working on a way to make that happen, but as far as I know, stock only works on emmc.
But you could put stock back on emmc and your Kang on SD.

Ah ok, thanks for the help

Well in answer to the original poster in this thread, I now have a way to get Stock on a verygreen SD. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item B11 in the second post of that thread. You can even have rooted stock with OC and apps2SD support.

I am still working on a method of having stock on SD while still using data on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2... I have not given up... just gotten side tracked a time or two.

Thanks for all the help and Info leap and dizzy ....ill go try it out and let you know
edit: Its been awhile since i made a sd rom....so far i have made the sdcard from This and i dont exactly understand how to do the rest of it properly, my nook color is on the cm7.2 kang build with mirage kernel and in Leap's instructions it says
leapinlar said:
So the procedure to get this working is to prepare a verygreen SD using the image file attached to my SD installation instructions thread here (generic-sdcard...). Then boot it at least once with the SD installed in the Nook so the SD can partition itself. If you have an existing verygreen SD prepared, you can skip those two steps. Copy the zip files to somewhere that recovery can find them. If you use the newest versions of CWM or TWRP recovery they can read files from emmc media storage. Boot to recovery and insert the prepared verygreen SD into the Nook. Flash the ROM zip to the SD. It will format the system and data partitions on the SD and install the ROM. Boot to the SD and the new stock ROM should load. Follow the directions to register with B&N. Once you have registered you can stop there if you are satisfied with plain stock. But be warned, if B&N decides to update to a new version in the future, it may mess up whatever you have installed on emmc. Therefore I recommend that you flash the Block Updates zip which blocks OTA updates. If you flash Manual Nooter you do not have to flash Block Updates separately since it is included in Manual Nooter. To install Block Updates, Manual Nooter or OC/apps2SD support, flash the zips to the SD with recovery just like you did the ROM. If you flash Manual Nooter, it has gapps and Market with it so you must register them with Google. And you need root if you want to the OC and apps2SD support, plus you will need a program like SetCPU to adjust the processor.
You can get the modified 1.4.3 B&N stock ROM zip here, the modified Manual Nooter zip here, the modified OC/apps2SD zip here, and the modified Block Updates zip here (all four modified for verygreen SD installation).

I have done the partitioning on the sdcard so it now has the 4 partitions in it....the nook is running CWM 3.2.0.1 emmc recovery. I've downloaded all 4 zip files, but i only plan on putting the stock nook, and manual nooter (leap says it includes the update blocker) on it
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

You need to update your emmc recovery to a newer version so that you can flash those zips from internal memory (emmc media). You will run into problems finding the files with 3.2.0.1 since you have to take your normal SD out and put your verygreen SD in.
So flash this zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23537853
Then copy the downloaded files to emmc media, boot to the new CWM and select the files from internal memory and flash them to your inserted verygreen SD.
EDIT: I just updated my instructions in my tips to make that clearer. Thanks.

I have built in safeguards to make sure that won't happen. If no SD is in the slot, it won't flash, if the SD in the slot is not formated with 4 partitions, it won't flash. And when it finally does flash, it is hard coded to go to SD. Flash away. First ROM then a little later after you have registered and let it finish loading books, the manual nooter.

It took me a very long time to download the books and I have a fast connection. I think B&N just pushes them out slow for stock. Other stuff downloads fast, like once you are rooted and you download apps from play store.

Brah....dang it...I messed up by accidently hitting the erase and deregister button.....it didn't seem to erase anything, but it did deregister it...would I have to remake the SD and then reflash the rom again? (Not that it is a big deal or time consuming to do lol)

[GUIDE/TOOLS - NOW OBSOLETE] HDplus CM10/10.1 Easy Install Guide for Legacy SD

UPDATE 05/28/13 - Now that verygreen has changed his SD scheme to his new version, this guide should not be used on his ROMs dated 5/27 or newer. Use his new image and follow his new instructions. If you want to see the old instructions click on the Show Content button below.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Many users have had difficulty installing the HD+ CM10/10.1 ROMs using the Original/Legacy (verygreen) SD setup (especially Windows users). I have written this guide and have made some tools that should make it easier. No need for ADB or Linux. I have upgraded the CWM (clockworkmod) recovery to version 6.0.2.8 which includes larger fonts, a brighter screen and the ability to use the internal storage for installing zips and performing backups. It also uses verygreen's process from his early4 zip that aligns partitions at 2M. This guide and tools are for the Original/Legacy SD setup by verygreen, not the Hybrid. If you want the Hybrid, go here.
Setting up the SD
Begin by downloading the files you need either with stock or your PC. You will need my updated SD image file, attached below (do not use the early4 image from the verygreen thread), the CM ROM zip you want to install and the gapps zip to match it. Put the last two zips on your internal media sdcard built into the HD+. You can get the HD+ CM10 ROMs here and the HD+ CM10.1 ROMs here. You can get the gapps zips here, 20121011 for CM10 and 20130301 for CM10.1.
Extract the SD image zip and you will have a 117MB .img file. Burn that to your SD with Win32DiskImager in Windows or the dd command in Linux or OSX. The SD needs to be at least 4GB and preferably a SanDisk Class 4.
To use Win32DiskImager, find it on the web (here, it's free) and install it on your Windows PC. Open it (be sure to run it as administrator) and select the drive (device) that has your card reader with your SD inserted. Then in the image file box put the location where you have the extracted img file. Then when everything is set right, click on the write button. A warning will pop up asking if you want to proceed. When you have verified that you are going to write to the correct device, click on Yes. (One user overwrote their external USB hard drive by not verifying first.) If you get an error message about access denied, it means you are looking at the drive with Windows Explorer. Close Windows Explorer and try again. In fact, it is a good idea to close all unnecessary windows when burning, even your browser.
When burning is complete, insert the SD into the Nook and boot. It should boot to the cyanoboot logo and sit there for a little while while it creates the other partitions on the SD and formats CM10SDCARD. Then it will end up in CWM for HD+ Original SD. If it does not leave the cyanoboot logo within a reasonable time (it hangs sometimes), just touch the power key and CWM should come up. To use CWM, press the volume up/down keys to move the cursor and the n key to select an item. The power key is the back button.
Installing ROMs
You can use the "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory" option to flash the CM ROM you downloaded earlier to your internal memory sdcard. Then you can flash the right version of gapps to match your ROM.
When you reboot (you need to leave the SD in the slot), the CM ROM should start. You will need to register with Google to set up Play Store.
If you later want to upgrade your ROM to another build, download it to your CM10SDCARD partition using CM. Then boot to CWM and flash it.
Backing Up
This version of CWM lets you back up and restore your setup. You can even back up to internal memory. It does not back up /boot, but does back up /system, /data and /cache.
Swapping EMMC and SDCARD
Some users have installed CM to a small SD card and want their apps to use the large internal media storage to store their data. I have developed a couple of zips to swap EMMC and SDCARD when booted to CM so that internal memory is available to your apps to store their files. One zip will add the swap and one will remove it. Get them attached below.
These zips can be flashed with CWM but will only install to the Original SD with CM. I just fixed a bug in the rev0 and rev1 zips. If you already flashed rev0 or rev1, you need to flash the remove zip before you flash the rev2 fixed version. No need to boot in between.
With rev2, both SDCARD and EMMC will show internal media storage, as will both MTP folders. A new folder, ext_sdcard, will show the external SD media partition.
Updating earlier versions of CWM
Updating prior installs of the Original SD installation to this new version of CWM is easy. Just download the ramdisk zip file attached below and extract the file. Put your old SD setup in your PC and rename the ramdisk.cwm to ramdisk.cwm.bak. Then copy the new ramdisk.cwm you just extracted to the card, replacing the version that was there. Next time you boot to CWM, the 6.0.2.8 version for HD+ Original SD will be there.

Yes, you can use bokbokan's hybrid image to do it the same way for the HD. And I think his standard image does it too.

question...
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else but, I did this using a 32gb card and everything I running smooth. I have a 64gb card that I want to switch it out for. I know it won't be a problem doing the root and all of that again, but I was wondering if anybody knows how to change the 32gb SD card back to normal? When I stick it in my computer all it shows is the boot partition and when I try to format it, it only formats that's partition. Meaning that my 32gb card turns into a worthless 116 mb card. I've tried on windows and Ubuntu and get the same results...
So does anybody have any suggestion?

Thank you, I will try that and let you know how it works

This is probably a stupid question, but once I've got the SD card set up properly, can I then go ahead and delete the ZIP files that I've installed? Or do I need to keep them kicking around? Figure if I can free up some space, I should.

You can delete them if you want, but I usually always keep them somewhere so I don't have to redownload them if I need to reflash, which very oftern I have to for various reasons. I can always delete them later if space becomes an issue.

*nod* I meant deleting them off the SD card (should have specified). I'd be keeping them on my fileserver to ensure that I can reflash the sdcard to the same version I started with if I need to.

I'm confused by this, what are you referring to as "internal media sdcard"? I used win32 to burn the .img file, then booted into CWM...I'm clearly doing this wrong, because after that, the sdcard only has 117mb and no room to put ROMs on

You are doing it right. 117MB is what it is supposed to have. You do not put the files on that card. You put them on the HD+ (on the internal sdcard).
If you could see that it only had 117 MB, you were not booted to CWM, you were looking at the SD while it was still inserted in the PC. Booted to CWM means it is in the Nook.
When you insert the burned SD into the powered off HD+, then turn it on, it boots to CWM. That is what I mean by booting to CWM.
The internal sdcard means the storage that is built into the HD+ (that is why I call it internal). Boot to stock and download the files with it. They get put on the internal sdcard or "sdcard" as it is called. After you insert the burned card into the HD+ and boot to it, CWM has the ability to flash the zips by reading them from the internal sdcard built into the HD+.
Edit: I just clarified that in the OP. It is hard to anticipate how users will interpret your words in advance.

You do not extract the cm zip. You extract the image zip which is attached to the post. It is the one that is 120 MB and is the one you burn to the SD with win32diskimager.

thank you for the help. i appreciate it! i can now use my new HD+ (bought it last night) to its full potential.

I just wanted to say that I was suffering from the dreaded "Nook refuses to boot from the SD card" syndrome. I tried three different SD cards burned using four different computers, to no avail. Tried this patch? Worked perfectly. Thanks! :laugh:

SDXC cards viable for this use?
Well, that registration video was a real interesting bit compared to most forums I've ever used. Somebody put a lot of work into that.
I'm noticing a lot of emphasis on Class 4 cards. Impetuous sort that I am, I already obtained a Sandisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC (Class 10/UHS 1) card for this project. Best Buy had a good deal and I was hoping to have a lot of room to work with and it wasn't clear what access to the internal storage would be available or best left alone. Has anyone had success or great problems with this card?
Other than that issue before attempting to execute the install, this is a very helpful thread. Much clearer than verygreen's original. That shouldn't be taken as an insult to verygreen as technical writing for those outside a project is not a skill everyone has or should have. Asking those deep within a project to shift mental gears to operate at the outsider's level can be a waste of resources and is often better delegated to a specialist. And we should be thankful for those specialists when they volunteer like this.

Some have had good success with that card, especially if they use my Hybrid setup which uses less of the SD to operate from.

It appears to be working on the first try. I'm currently syncing my app set from the Play store. It looks like this will be a huge value add for the Nook. I wouldn't have bought it if the full Android option weren't there. I just hope enough of us still buy books from B&N to keep them going.
Thanks.

Steps I took to get KitKat on my New Nook HD+

Bought a brand new Nook HD+ with the intention of using it as an inexpensive tablet in my kitchen, primarily to access the web and run cooking apps. Out of the box, I found it laggy and unresponsive to the point of being unusable.
I have some experience rooting/jailbreaking my phones, very little experience with tablets. I was eager to get KitKat on the device right away—it has proven to be so much better on my phone, much better battery life, much more responsive, less buggy, more fluid, etc. Problem is, KitKat is bleeding edge, and there are no official builds, and most of the install guides for dummies (=me) refer to earlier (JB) versions of Android.
It turned out to be quite time consuming to read all of the different versions of the install process, and to patch together a process that worked. I thought I would document what I did, in order to (possibly) save others some of the time that I invested.
Note: this process does NOT install KitKat to the SD card. In plain English, these steps install a bootable recovery image onto a micro sd card. Booting into the micro-sd recovery will allow you to wipe stock from your device and install kit-kat, google apps and an internal recovery. When you are finished, you remove the micro-SD and you have an Android tablet that boots into kitkat. If you want something different stop reading!
1) get a class 4 micro SD (class 4 seems to be the one that boots most reliably in the Nook HD+ (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688&page=12 )
2) Download win32diskimager (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/?source=directory ) and this bootable CWM recovery image (http://nook.rootshell.ru/hd/emmc-cwm-early3.img.gz ).
3) Extract the CWM recovery image, and use win32diskimager to write the image to the micro sd.
4) Download EMMC (internal) recovery image and latest CM11 EMMC from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572) . You want “Ovation Recovery Image (CWM)” and “cm-11-xxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip.” All recoveries and roms for this device are called Ovation. Download Paranoid Android Google Apps from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 ). MAKE SURE the version you download is for Android 4.4.x. It will say 4.4.x in the file name. I chose the Google Stock Package. (PA-Google Apps will allow you to enable ART if you want to.)
5) Turn on the Nook HD+, register it, and download all the system/firmware updates until the Google Play Store installs on your device (Google Play and Gmail etc. just recently got added to the Nook, so probably aren’t installed out of the box).
6) Transfer the three zip files (recovery image, CM11 and PA Gapps) you downloaded in step 4 onto the internal sdcard of the Nook itself. (This step is IMPORTANT: the current bootable version of CWM can ONLY read files on the internal SD, so you won’t be able to flash any roms or apps or recoveries unless they are actually on the device) I was unable to use the USB cable to transfer the files directly to the Nook from my computer—others have also had trouble getting Windows to recognize the Nook HD+ properly— and I didn’t want to spend a lot of time figuring it out, so I used the micro sd card as follows. If you can transfer directly from the computer, skip to step 7.
6a) Copy the new internal recovery, new system image and PA Google Apps from your computer to the micro SD card. Eject micro SD from computer.
6b) On the Nook, use Play Store to install a file explorer. I use Root Explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en . You don’t need root to copy files from external to internal SD (and you don’t have root at the moment) so you can download any file explorer you like.
6c) Insert micro SD in the Nook while the Nook is still booted/on. The nook will flash a message saying that it’s mounting the SD card. Once it does, use the file explorer to copy all zip files downloaded in step 4 from the EXTERNAL to the INTERNAL SD. The internal SD card is referred to as “sdcard” or “sdcard0” and the external SD as “ext_sdcard” or “sdcard1”.
7)Turn off nook.
8) Insert micro SD card if it isn’t in already, and turn on the device. You should see the "Nook" logo, which gets overwritten by the "cyanoboot" logo. Keep waiting. It will eventually go into CWM. If it doesn’t, go back and start reading through the thread referenced in step 1. With any luck, you won’t have trouble. I had boatloads of trouble booting from the SD card until I got a class 4 micro SD, and used the bootable image linked in step 2. Since then I can boot every time.
9) Use CWM to backup stock rom, then wipe data/factory reset. (Very good instructions on using CWM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 ) Flash the internal recovery. Flash the CM11 Rom. Flash PA Google apps. Remove micro SD. Select “Reboot System now”.
10) When you reboot, go to Settings/About tablet/Build number. Tap on that seven times to enable developer options. Go to Settings/Developer Options and select Advanced Reboot which allows rebooting into recovery from the power button.
11) OPTIONAL: Enable ART. ART is not compatible with all applications, so you might experience problems. You can see which applications work and don’t work here: http://www.androidruntime.com/. Enabling it made a very big difference for me in terms of smoothness; others with more experience seem to achieve similar, or better effects by modding with xposed, gravitybox, etc. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579945&highlight=change+and+resolution&page=24) To read more about ART and what it does see: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-in-secret-for-over-2-years-debuts-in-kitkat/. If you decide to give it a try: Settings/Developer Options/ Select Runtime/Use ART.
12) Reboot—this time will take a while because ART (if you enable it) has to reconfigure itself.
For me, the difference is night and day. I now have a tablet that runs beautifully. Many many thanks to the hard working developers who make this possible, especially Verygreen, who provided the rom and recovery, and e.mote who wrote the "for dummies" thread that helped this dummy make it through the process.
Please comment and change anything that I have garbled. My goal is to consolidate information, not mangle it!

Very good post
Thanks for the excellent post. :good:

I was running 4.4.2 different versions on emmc and sd card.
10.2 nightly is still the best for me!
Performance and battery wise.

Hi I installed the same rom over Carbon rom. I went to format my sd card and every time iI tried the Nook would reboot. I went into CWM recovery and formatted it from there but I think it formatted the internal sdcard, Could someone check this out for me as this is my first post I cant post on the developer forum. TIA Mike

Not sure what you exactly what you mean, but it sounds like you were trying to format your external SD card from inside your nook? If you write the CWM bootable image to your external SD using Win32Diskmanager you don't need to format it. Writing the image will erase everything already on the external sdcard. You should be able to boot from it and install the zips. Is your problem that you can't boot from the external SD, or that you erased the zips from your internal sdcard?
Go back and read over verygreen's thread referenced in step 4-- I think he may have posted an updated version of CWM that can read the external sd card. Otherwise:
Did you make a backup of your carbon rom install? If so, you could write a bootable (earlier) version of cwm to the external sdcard, copy your backup to the sdcard and restore it, and then start over. (or not, as some people seem to think Carbon rom is just as good-- I never tried it) The thread in step 9 has great instructions that might help with that.
This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579945 ) is about installing a different version of cm11, and it's in a non-developer forum, where we can post. You might find answers there.

Sorry I didn't explain very well, I installed verygreens KK rom succesfully and wanted to do a backup of it. I put in a SD card and thought I would format it as it had some old junk on there. When I tried to format through the settings section the tablet would just reboot. So I booted into evergreens CWM recovery and tried through there, it formatted something but my external card cannot be read. And some of my settings have been lost, some time ago I used 4. Swapping "sdcard" and "ext_sdcard" from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613. So I think that may be my problem. I have back ups so no problem.

Ah! I thought from your first post that you were quite new to this process, but clearly you are ahead of me on this one. Good luck.

Update: installed the latest build which has the touch screen patch. It's PHENOMENAL. Truthfully, the only thing I need this tablet for is using a website that involves a lot of dragging and dropping. I had to train myself not to accidentally zoom and/or copy. No more! I haven't even enabled ART this time because it's working so well. I would have posted on Verygreen's thread to thank but don't have enough posts.

Nook for Android?
This works very nicely. But Nook for Android won't install. Are there properties I can change to allow Nook for Android to install on this 'new' Nook device?
rogerlig

Great tutorial.
I would suggest around your step 9, after you have made a backup with CWM, before you wipe data/factory reset:
Remove microSD. Reboot into stock Nook and connect to computer. Copy off the backup from clockworkmod folder to your computer. Then boot again with the microSD, and proceed to wipe and flash.
Otherwise, the backup may get wiped.

I got everything running, but my HD+ is running extremely laggy. I did a full wipe, but my internal SD card is still a little over 7 gigs full. Is there something else I missed? The Nook reader is particularly slow.

Yes, a full wipe (factory reset) did not remove your previous media files. To do so you need to boot to CWM and go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'. That clears out previous files and should improve performance.

[HOW-TO] Installing CM11 Internally on Nook HD+

[Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk].
FWIW, here the process I used to install CM11 internally (on emmc*) on my HD+:
Using a disk partition tool (such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) create on SD card a Primary FAT32 partition, and set the partition ID type for the partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag. Once this is done, the partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows.
Use an archive file manager such as 7-zip and extract the .img file from verygreen’s emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49192422&postcount=1)
Use the archive file manager to extract the files from the .img file and copy them to the SD card: first MLO, then next u-boot.bin, uImage, kernel, ramdisk.cwm.
Copy to the SD card:
verygreen’s flashable CWM recovery zip file cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49192422&postcount=1)
the zip file of CM11 ROM build of your choice – e.g., from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation (see http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-11-m4-post-release-items for considerations in choosing nightlies vs. snapshot/stable builds)
the zip file of the Gapps package corresponding to CM11 – e.g., http://opengapps.org/?api=4.4&variant=nano
Put the SD card into the HD+, and boot from its power-off state.
[Optional step but highly recommended] Select Backup to backup your HD+ current ROM config (/boot, /recovery, /system, and /data).
Select Wipe data & factory reset.
Select install zip from SD card and install flashable CWM recovery zip file.
Select install zip from SD card and install CM11 zip file.
Select install zip from SD card and install Gapps zip file.
Remove SD card and select reboot.
Once the HD+ boots up, set up the wifi connectivity and your google account info.
If the Nook fails to boot off SD -- the two most common symptoms of failed SD boot and their likely causes are:
The HD+ boots straight to stock -- most likely the boot partition's type and/or flag are not correctly set, or the HD+ cannot find the MLO in the boot partition (make sure that MLO is the very first file to be copied to the freshly made /boot partition).
If the HD+ consistently boots straight to stock in spite of a valid /boot partition and boot files, it's possible that the tablet is one of those HD+ units that have difficulty booting of SD cards, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688 for more info and potential remedies.
The HD+ screen stays dark for seemingly a long time then eventually boots to stock -- most likely the MLO or u-boot.bin are corrupted. When in doubt, compare the size of the two copies of the files in bytes.

What to download?
Hey Guys,
First off I really appreciate the time you take to answer my questions.
I still need some guidance however.
Again I have "Android 2.2" The last stock upgrade they updated.
So with that being said. What files should I download, and what order.
Everyone is giving me different links and i am not sure what to do.
This is my first time every doing something like this on a nook or tablet.
So please be patient with me. I would greatly appreciate it.
Should I download the cyanogenmod software first to my nook folder on my computer desktop, and then what other files do I need?
Once I download them I plan to transfer them over to a card for my usb slot that is on the bottom of my nook I am assuming, correct?
Once I have the software I need, Then I need to know what order should I install what first.
When I am doing this software installs. Do I need to worry about what is on there now.
This is nothing I need to save so I am not afraid of loosing what ever is on the nook at the moment.
All of this stuff can be let go or deleted or refresh install. Don't care.
I just want to get my table to work like a computer basically. So, I can watch the videos that i want to watch on my tablet, and still
be able to surf the net and read internet websites, you tube .com and other websites I like of course.
By doing this process this will still allow me to do this I am assuming. Again, I have never mode so I am not sure what this
cyanogenmod is or what it can do to help. I am game for trying to do it if it gets me what I want it to do.
I did see the other links posted above. I just diidn't know where to start or what to download first do to the fact I have only 2.2 android software on my nook color hd+
Again, I appreciate the advice peeps!
Please elaborate if you can with what links and what to do. Thanks again. Karl

First of all, you need to realize that installing any kind of aftermarket ROM on your android device will void your warranty with no manufacturer support.
Second, installing ROMs is inherently risky, since there is always the possibility of bricking your device.
Thirdly, any kind of ROMs that you see in the Android Development section are not completely stable; they are usable but there will be bugs & glitches. So all ROMs come with a caveat: use at your own risk!
That being said, here's how it works:
You will need three files; (a) SD Card Image (b) Recovery Image (c) ROM that you want to install.
For this purpose I am using CM11 as the example, the thread is here.
[1] Every Android device has a manufacturer installed recovery program; to install a custom ROM you need to have a custom recovery. This custom recovery is what allows you to make changes to your Android device.
[2] The Nook HD+ has the advantage of being able to boot from its SD card slot (kinda like a computer booting from a CD/DVD drive).
[3] Download the image files and create a bootable SD card. Copy the Recovery Image and the ROM to this SD card. You will need WinImage to create this card in a Windows computer.
[4] Insert this card into the HD+ and reboot your device. Here's the kicker, the HD+ may not boot from the SD card and may simply go to normal boot. If that happens you will have to keep repeating it. Check older threads about this issue.
[5] Once it boots from the SD Card, follow the instructions listed in the first post of that thread.
Brief summary (this is true for most devices): Create a bootable SD card, use this card to boot the device, install Custom recovery into the device, then install the ROM. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you won't ever have to use the bootable card again unless you run into some issues.
Good Luck!

For Hirent.
Hirent,
First off, I want to say thank you so much for the very detailed reply you sent my way.
I will use this with digression of course. I am aware of the warranty issues that it will cause.
The one major question I have before I dive into this project.
I am aware of the possible bugs and how it is not perfected.
Will this enable me to download and install flash player on a updated android that was suggested in this article you posted?
Or will it just work automatically after I do the project of these software installs. Another words I will be able to open chrome or factory
browser and go to NHL.com, MLB.com, NBA.com and other s and play the videos on the Nook HD+ Color after installs or no?
Thanks for the advice, help, and replies.

New Issue with SD Card 8gb, Centon
Hello,
I tried to follow the instructions on deleting partition on SD card. I also did get it wipe. But, the new issue is I am not able to go any further in the process.
I tried to read the card in my computer and now the card is not being recognized by windows on "my computer" It is H Drive.
IT was now its not. I deleted partition then was going to try to create the new partition. That was not highlighted on the partition magic software.
The article I was following was this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLbr1Uyr0sk
Now my SD card is not being recognize by windows 7 ultimate.
I also tried to do the right click trick on my computer then computer management. Then did click storage and then drive then so on.
However when I did that, only that screen recognizes my sd card before and after. But no other screens like my computer screen.
What do I do next with this card to continue. I was trying to follow that tutorial above then go to the windows disc 32 part.
Then drag the software over to start installing it on my nook. But, obviously I never got that far. Can you help me get the SD card to work again and tell me what I did wrong and what to do next so I can move forward to add CW & whatever android software will work well with flash. So I can use the other sites I mentioned in my other post.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it. I am stuck and not sure what to do next.
---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------
Weird.
I just put the sd card in a usb card dongle that inserts the sd card into usb thumb drive and all of the sudden I see the drive on this computer now.
What should I do now?
Do I still have to go and do the windows disc 32 imager part.
Then drag and drop the software I need and drop in the card to my nook then install.
Or just drag software that I need like CM and Android and move forward with that.
Which should I do first. If it is the later part, which CM and Android should I use for the Nook color HD +?????
Thanks again for help and sorry about that first post, I swear it was it seeing it before. Weird.
Thanks, Karl

What tablet are you having this issue with?
AFAIK currently there is no CM12 nightly build yet for the Nook HD+ ("ovation") or HD ("hummingbird"). Make sure you pick the CM build specific for your device (e.g., cm-11-20160208-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip for the Nook HD+); using a ROM build for a different device can brick your tablet.

Nook HD+ and Google Play
Thanks for your quick reply. This must be the problem. I originally installed the CM11 and Google Play did not work so I went out and found another 'walk through' via the link given to me last time and thought CM12 was the right choice.
I'll go back and reformat after getting the right gapps for CM11.

Thanks, so what I did go back and reformat the sd card and start over with the early, cm recovery ovation, cm11, gapps 4.4; however, apparently I didn't unzip and copy the early correctly because after I rebooted the hd+ after going through the wipe/install process, I got an error that the setup wizard could not start. I powered off, wiped the sd card and began again following directions very carefully making sure the MLO was copied first.
Now, it seems I have somehow bricked the device because it will not power on and has only a green light when plugged in, instead of the normal amber. Any ideas of how to get it to turn on and boot to the SD again?
EDIT:
Okay, as I stated in my edit, I got it to boot, but I'm still getting the popup "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has sopped. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time!!!

Did you do a "wipe /data & factory reset" before you flash/install the zip files of CM11 ROM and GApps?
Did the installation of the 2 zip files succeed without error messages?

I got it working after I got it to bypass the error by dragging down the menu and connecting to wifi. Once I did that I was able to set up the Google account and everything was fine thereafter. There is a bit of flickering now and then, but everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks so much for your time and help!!!

Recover Data?
Hi,
I've jut reinstalled cm11 onto my nook HD+ & realise I failed to copy a text file over before I formatted the HDD. Is it possible to recover a deleted file off the nook HDD via a PC? I've tried changing the developer option settings - Android debugging on, ADB Over Network on & connecting via USB both MTP & UMS (I think that's what they were) but when I run any of my Data Recovery programs in win7, the drive isn't recognised as an option to recover from.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
