OK, I know this may sound a like a newbie question, but honestly, this is the first phone I've owned that did not have an micro sd card. When I unlocked the bootloader it completely wiped everything (which I was prepared for that)...pictures, ringtones...etc. basically a complete wipe of my 128 GB storage.
Question #1
When I flash a new custom ROM does it wipe everything in storage (everything on my 128 GB)?
Question #2
When I make a backup with TWRP I need to off load that to my computer...Correct? Because I can't simply copy it to my sd card since this phone doesn't have one. I assume backups can be transferred back to the phone via adb or either via Windows Explorer.
Question #3
Stock image. The Google stock ROM image...If I flash this back onto my Nexus 6P then does that put it back like it came new out of the box...included the encrypted partition?
Again, this is a whole new ballgame for me..being the first phone without a memory card.
Question #1
When I flash a new custom ROM does it wipe everything in storage (everything on my 128 GB)? No, only the apps & data
Question #2

One more question. The MDA89D...Like the CleanCore shows these versions MBD08K, MBD08M...etc. Are these upgraded versions or for different carriers? i.e. I need to stick with MDA89D?

These are just incremental upgrades to the Same Rom, Google releases weekly(Sometimes)/monthly security updates.
OK thanks! My phone says it has an update just haven't got around to updating it.

right now, I am quite satisfied with wp7. although changing android roms with titanium backup is easy, is there a way to backup my wp7 rom? probably the whole nand, like nandroid for example? having to reactivate, resync, reunlock and reinstall is a troublesome process....in short, i just want to restore my phone the way it was if i go back to android... anyone?
I've asked this question too and no one responded. Have you found anything?
Unfortunately no. Maybe after the kitchen tools are released? IF they are ever released.... :/
Hey. It's kind of a late response, but I figured out that if I take out my SD card and boot WP7, it booted like it was a new install (no contacts, messages, account info, programs) but when I put my SD card back in, it booted normally. So, I guess all of the info is stored on the SD. So, I think it is possible to create a back up of the encrypted SD card with EASEUS partition manager, and that back up will hold an exact copy of what your phone used to be. So I assume that one could play around with Android roms, and then flash the same WP7 roms and restore the back up on the SD and be set. It's just a theory.

Hmmmm...interesting point. I'll have to try that when NODO/MANGO or whatever is released and see what happens. Worst that can happen is I resync as I would have normally in the first place. Thanks for the info.
I am currently running the latest auto-nootered version, 1.1 I think. I would like to upgrade to the stock version 1.2, but I don't want to lose any purchased content I have on the device. I have never attempted a restore to stock after auto-nooter. I am fine with not being rooted and not having access to the full market at this point, but just want to keep all my content safe from being wiped in the whole process. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
If you're referring to content purchased from B&N, it's a non-issue as you can always redownload for free.
If you're referring to Android Market purchases - if you lose Market access with the update you'll lose the ability to redownload and/or update those apps.
Back up your data, etc to an external SD card and optionally a computer too. Later, restore what needs to be. I stopped running from the internal long ago because CM7 runs so well (now since that wasn't always the case) from my external Sandisk SD 16GB class 4. This way, I never need to root the internal and I get updates as they come while benefiting from it's dual booting nature. Much less hassle this way. Not sure what the advantage is the other way around anymore. The Nookdevs site outlines step by step how to easily go back to stock. That info has probably even been reposted here.
I went the same route as the above guy. I've never Rooted my Stock and have been running Froyo and now CM7 from a 4gb Class 6 SD(It's what I had lying around) and it's worked really well.
Strangly even though I've never rooted I couldn't get it to update and had to Reset my Nook anyway, but since my CM7 is on my SD I didn't have to reinstall anything. All my B&N stuff just synced back after I updated. Although I had to manually tap Download on alot of them.
I also Recommend Nookdevs. Here are some links:

This is just me thinking on the Fly but if you just make a CWR Backup and then use the "CM7 Size Agnostic SD Image" from the Dev forums, it should flash it to the SD instead but I'm not positive. Won't hurt to try though.

I think you really just need your system and data partitions. Flash it using the previously mentioned dev thread. Then move your EMMC files to the sdcard partition.

hes got a sprint cdma hero that he is complaning that theres no room to install programs and its slow.
he has a 8gb sdcard in the phone and another spare
today i tried rooting but it appears that the phone is already rooted
installed titanium backup and backed up all his apps to the sdcard
installed sms backup and restore, backed up to sdcard
went to contacts, settins, and exported to sd card
Q. I rooted and custom romed my other buddies phone and not all his contacts were exported. Is there something else i need to do to get all contacts backed up?
Q. i couldent find "Call Logs Backup & Restore" in the market. Do i really need it?
ok so this point i plan on plugging the phone into ubuntu, and copying all the data on the SD card to my laptop. This should backup all his pictures, contacts, craps onto my laptop.
Then i will install clockworkmod recovery from market. Reboot into recovery.
The use ADB to manually partiton the 8 gb SD card
1 - 7.5GB FAT32
2 - 512MB ext4
3 - 32MB swap
Q. Is this sound like a good layout?
Now that the card is partitioned i will install clockworkmod via the market and make a backup of the current system state, just incase he wants to go back to original. and copy the new rom from the laptop to the sdcard
as far as roms / kernels
i am overwhelmed and confused by the choices, he just wants something fast without bugs and without the sprint preloaded crap. But i dont think he wants any fancy custom hacker looking ****, just something plain fast and works.
Q. would cynagonmod be a good choice?
Q. Do i need to load a custom kernel in addition to loading the ROM ?
Q. after the new rom is installed is that when i copy his original sdcard data back to the newly formatted sd card?
sorry about the questions, this is a guy i work with and i wanna show off my leet, but i dont wanna **** his phone as hes goin on vacation soon and needs it to just work. I have a galaxy tab, acer tab, but never messed with a htc phone. i am curious to hear if this sound like the best way to go at it?
thanks

I wouldn't do the swap partition tho. It will kill the SD card in a less than a month. Cyanogenmod and AOSPCMod are good choices and have settings under the Cyanogenmod settings for memory management and caching so the swap partition really isn't needed. It wouldn't help unless it was at least a class 6 sd card too.
fpineda thank you for the prompt reply
Yea, Cyanogenmod 7 is best. Make sure it's the Heroc one. It will say "aospCWMod-HEROC" on the file name, then the version number. Download it and copy it to the root of the microsd card.
I also agree with gophet about partitioning the SD card. Just leave it alone. You won't have to restore any of the data but it's good that you backed it up on the laptop just in case.
Once you install clockworkmod, shut down. Then turn on the phone while holding down the home key. It will put you in recovery.
From there go to "flash zip from sd card" --> and pick the Cyanogenmod. It will take a while but you should have no problems. Also, the first boot will take a long time.
Sounds like you should look into firerating it, if that's even a word.
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.

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.

no if it successfully flashed last time, you just need to reset-up your accounts and install apps again.

About to start flashing a custom rom (Aryamod) after more than a year on rooted,xposed Stock 4.3 on my N9005. As you can imagine I filled my 32 GB model to the brim and now I don't know how to back-up all my data on my phone straight to my PC. Something like a recovery image of my entire phone to my PC if ever I screw up flashing. Titanium might be an option but I only have the free version and again I don't have enough space on my phone to back up all my data. Any suggestions?

1- make sure your ? is on.
2- connect your ?to ? with cable.
3- copy & past / drag & move.
Will that back up my app data settings and game progress as well as my passwords and accounts?

When you say you have 'filled' the phone, are you talking Internal or do you mean you filled a 32GB external SD Card?
With TWRP you can easily set your backup (nandoid - i.e. everything) to an extSDCard and then simply copy that zip file to your PC. Later you can Restore only the Data if you want.
Titanium also lets you set your backups to the extSDCard.
If you mean you filled your extSDCard you have multiple options - take out the card and put it in a caddy and then a card reader and simply copy everything to PC. Buy a new and larger card. 64GB hi-speed ones work very well and even 128GB ones are down in price.

I meant I filled my 32 (well, 26 GB) internal and only have a 16 gb external.
