[Q] nook question

hello, ive asked this question here once before but idk why but im stressing out over this lol ok.....so my nook runing color cyanogen mod 7 has an internal and external memory. the micro sd i have has the CWM and its only 2gb and is full, so i bought another micro sd but 4gb, the sd card with CWM always boots into Recovery so i bought another card. is it safe for the device to use one card and then when i need to update pop the first sd card in? or...do you guys just pop the sd out on boot then put it back in once booted?

Sounds like you've installed CM onto internal memory (eMMC). If so, there's no harm swapping the car out, so long as you unmount it when the unit is powered on.
If, instead, you've got CM on an external (SD) card, then it just won't boot. Again, no harm done.

its on the sd card, but can use another sd card not cwm so i can keep it in there and use it? and if theres a update ill just pop the sd card with cwm on it

Sound like so. I think you still confuse about it.
Anyway, do state your questions again since we don't remember post-to-post
so my nook runing color cyanogen mod 7 has an internal and external memory.

Yes, we know that, we know the NC has internal memory and an uSD slot for additional storage.
the micro sd i have has the CWM and its only 2gb and is full
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's ok, it's understandable.
so i bought another micro sd but 4gb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's good.
the sd card with CWM always boots into Recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It should ALWAYS boot into CwM Recovery, if not, big problem.
so i bought another card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Another one? 3rd one?
is it safe for the device to use one card and then when i need to update pop the first sd card in?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, use one uSD card for additional storage, leave it in the NC.
Save one uSD as a flashable CwMR card for update/backup ROM.
or...do you guys just pop the sd out on boot then put it back in once booted?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Leave the "normal" uSD in the NC.
"normal" meaning not the flashable CwMR.

Sorry for so many questions thank u so much ur a genious! But one more before I leave, do I have to update the Rom? The Rom I have is 7.0.3 and there is a newer one 7.1 do I have to install it? Cause I'm happy how it is
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom

7.0.3 is very old
7.1 is the current stable
Latest ROM that has the love of many members is MiRaGe KANG, 7.2.
If you are happy with what you have now, you don't have to update new ROM

Ok and if I want to update I just flash a new one?
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium

ok i put the 7.1 and flashed it then it said installation aborted

Did you tell us where you do install the CM7? On eMMC or uSD?

HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom

Your previous posts indicated that you had actually installed to internal memory not uSD.
There are two ways we can be certain what state you are in.
1) If you leave the card out and it will reboot into CM7 then you have installed on internal.
2) If you started with the eyeballer clockwork recovery image when you installed then you did an internal install. If you started with a VeryGreen size agnostic SD card then you installed onto SD card.
Assuming you have done an internal install then you do not want to leave the installer SD card in as this is a boot SD which will boot into clockwork recovery. Instead you just want a freshly formatted SD which is then used to hold your normal data.
When you want to update an internal install then you don't actually need to remove the SD card at all. Instead get the ROM Manager app from the market. Select the function to flash Clockwork recovery. This put an alternate clockwork boot on the internal memory and only needs to be done once. To do an update put the new ZIP at the top level of the SD card then use ROM Manager to select the zip to install. Select the wipe dalvik option and continue. The Nook will reboot into recovery and install the new ROM and then reboot with the new ROM. You can also manually get into clockwork recovery by powering up with the N key pressed. This will give you a boot slection allowing you to select normal boot or recovery. The latter will give you the full recovery menu.
If your install is actually on the SD card then you do an update by copying the new zip onto the boot partition which is actually what the PC will see if you put the card back into a PC. The new zip must be renamed to start with update-cm- and end with .zip When you reboot with this and hold the N key down then you can enter a simplified recovery which will install the update zip.

Your previous posts indicated that you had actually installed to internal memory not uSD.

That's the reason why I keep asking askers where they do install CM7 to.
W/o knowing, I don't want to lead them into the wrong direction.

thanks for that great info, you nailed all my questions great

[Q] A Few Problems.

so i have cm 7.3.0-encore installed and
1) i cant get the android apps to install
2)cm mod( rom manager 4.2.0.2 clockwork mod 3.2.0.1) will not let me updgrade to premium
when i try to download rom it tells me i must upgrade rom manager to latest version and when i press ok i get another box that says "the application ROM Manager process com.koushikdutta.rommanager) has stopped unexpectedly please try again" and when i press ok i get sent bact to the home screen.
3)when i try to reboot into recovery,1) with the sd card in,i get booted to the main cyanogen mod home screen
4) and when i try to install gapps i go into the recovery,/install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card/confirm install/when it says install complete,i exit out(reboot system now)it goes back to the main nook color screen so i have to power the nook off and back on so it can boot into cm. once back in cm,i dont have any market.
Oh and my software version is 1.2.0
PLEASE HELP!!

As much as I or we want to help you, we are completely lack of info.
Please provide some basic info about your system and what you are trying to do.
1. Where did you get cm7.3.0?
2. On your very last sentence, 1.2.0. What is that?
3. How have you run "which ROM"? from eMMC or uSD?
Those info is a good start to get more help.

i hvae to pull up the site i got the mod from (i believe it was the cyanogen forum,ill get back to you on that)
2 1.2.0 is the stock nook firmware.(i believe they are up to 1.4 now)
3 i have no idea what your talking about.(im hoping your asking wether im running from internal or sd card. if that is the case,im running from the sd card

OK... to help you there are several things we must know... since answers to each can influence the method we need to get things working as they should:
1. Which method did you use to setup your SD? i.e. verygreen's SASD, racks11479 or another method.
2. Which ROM are you having issues with? i.e. CM7 on SD, Stock 1.2 on eMMC
3. What "android apps" are you having issues with? i.e. google apps (gApps) or another specific "android" app... since they are ALL android apps.
If you used verygreen's SASD then you CANNOT use the stanard ROM manager and CWM to install gApps... you have probably screwed up your stock system and installed gApps there... not that it will work... but you are now no longer "stock"
If you can answer these questions and elaborate as to exactly what you have done, and are trying to accomplish, we can provide informed suggestions to you... otherwise we can flood this thread with a TON of solutions that will EVENTUALLY work... but waste lot of time and cause you much frustration along the way.

heres what i did step by step
1) got a sandisk 16gb micro sd card and fomatted it to fat 32.
2) used win image to burn generic sd card image to the sd card
3) once burned, i put cm7.3.0 encore zip file in the root of the sd card
4) put sd card in nook
5) let the install run
thats pretty much it it will not let me update the rom manger or install gapps
im trying to include pics of my rom manager and settings screens
so i have the cm mod running i just want to be able to install gapps and upgrade my rom manager

First off, you are running CM7.0.3, NOT 7.3 since it is not exist.
Secondly, I start following this post of yours. Pls note, whatever you did or have done described in your very first post were totally screw. Don't know who show you that.
Anyway,
Let's put it this way.
1. Your device is NC (NOOKColor)
2. Your NC is running stock ROM version 1.2.0 on eMMC.
3. You want to run CM7.0.3 on external uSD card.
4. You have problem getting Android apps.
Right? OK
1) got a sandisk 16gb micro sd card and fomatted it to fat 32. => good
2) used win image to burn generic sd card image to the sd card.
Ans: I strongly suggest you getting the Win32DiskImager since a lot of members reported having issue with WinImage.
3) once burned, i put cm7.3.0 encore zip file in the root of the sd card.
Again. It is CM7.0.3.
Assume after successfully done creating a bootable uSD using Win32Diskimager, put your cm7.0.3 (or suggesting using CM7.2-RC KANG) into the root folder, where you see those mlo, ramdisk, ... file. It should only 4 files there at this time.
4) put sd card in nook => correct
5) let the install run => it should
6 - after successfully install, it will automatically delete the cm7.0.3 zip file then shutdown.
7 - remove the uSD, put back into PC, download and copy GApps and put it the root folder, same place where you just put the ROM before.
Link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version
Note: rolling all the way down and select one for CM7, not CM9
8 - remove the uSD off PC, put it back into the NC, power it up
9 - let it boot into CM7 first, do connect to your wifi at this point is a good choice, then reboot and choose reboot into recovery using the menu.
10 - after it boots back into recovery, it will install the GApps now and shutdown again.
11 - reboot and start using.
NOTE: the way I show you above is the easiest way. There are several ways that are so good and too convinience but it's far more advance for newbie. When you get used to the NC, you will find out more.

so i did everything and most of i went as planned until.....
10) i pressed the power button to power off and pressed reboot( i got 3 choices 1-reboot,2-recovery 3-bootloader) i pressed recovery and it rebooted back into cm7. so i powered down the nc,took the sd card out and powered on it went to the stock nc menu. so i re-inserted the sd card and rebooted through the clockwork mod menu,once again it booted into the cm7 without installing gapps, so i once again powered down took out the sd card,powered up.it finnaly booted into recovery so i inserted the sd card(again) went down to "install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card chose gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip.installed it said install from sd card complete chose reboot system now. it booted into stock nook.so i powered off and back on into cm7 just to find out GAPPS DID NOT INSTALL. so im at the point where im just gonna get a n2a premade card or something. but i do want to say to say THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY FOR YOUR HELP

Did I just said whatever you did or have done, described on your very first post were screw up?
Why would you do that?
You follow to step 10, you are very close to get it up and running then you continue to do the wrong way. That's why you can't get your NC work.
On which instruction you got that shows you doing the "went down to "install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card" when you are running CM7 from uSD?
My suggestion, start over again, go slow.
Since using the uSD, why not using the stable CM7.1 or CM7.2 KANG? Get rid of the 7.0.3

[Q] CWM keeps losing update file

I recently installed CM 7 to emmc after running it from sd for a year. When I first did the emmc install I used mirage 3/4 but when 7.2 was released I decided to try it. Now I want to install the new mirage kang but when I copy the file to my sd card it's not there when CWM looks for it. I wiped data and cache but every time I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2. Any thoughts?
I tried to search but not being able to search for exact phrases makes it hard to find anything.
[edit] When I get home I'll try reinstalling from the eyeballer card I made. Should I format my non-recovery sd card? I didn't need to use the eyeballer card to install 7.2. What's going on here?

Which SD did you put the mirage file on? If you were still using the SD from your SD install, it is not partitioned right to be using with CWM. CWM is expecting just a plain vanilla SD. You may have the mirage file on partition 4 which CWM cannot see.

It was the card from my sd install but I had formatted it when I originally did the emmc install. Also, I used a different card for the emmc install.
What I don't understand is how I updated to 7.2 by putting the file on the sd card and installing it from CWM but when I did the same thing to install the latest Mirage kang it didn't work. I tried toggling the signed requirement in CWM since Mirage isn't signed but it didn't make any difference. Even now that I deleted data and caches and installed Mirage from CWM card the 7.2 file is still on my main sd card and I can't delete it. Do I need to use the CWM card every time I do an update? Could TiBU be causing this?

Do you have your emmc and SD card swapped in CM? You may think you have it on SD but really have it on emmc. And CWM can't see emmc.

No, at least I didn't set it that way. I skipped that part of mr72's guide. Not only that but I tried putting a copy each on my emmc and my sd and it disappeared from the card and wasn't seen on the emmc.
I redid the whole install earlier. I'm going to try putting a Mirage file on the card now and see if CWM sees it.

OP, I've tried to help but really, I can't understand your issue, especially this: "I have CWM look for the file to install it only finds CM 7.2"
What else do you expect it looks for and finds?
Anyway, pls do list as much as info so we can help. I don't want to guess.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
The more info we gather, the better chance we pinpoint to your problem

update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip and update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip have different file names. When I put the Mirage file on the card CWM doesn't see it. Instead it sees the CM 7.2 RC1 file. That's why I was guessing TiBU, because normally when I flash a file it disappears from the card. I flashed CM 7.2 RC but it won't go away, even if I try to delete it. After conducting the experiment from my previous post I am wondering if my flash card is going bad. I'll do further experiments along that line today.
1. What is your current system? Is it still running fine?
update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012; occasionally says sd card not installed or available
2. I understand you want to update Cm7. Which version?
I wanted to go to update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012 which I have now accomplished
3. Since you are running CM7 from eMMC, let just focus on 1 uSD, called "flashable CwM Recovery" uSD. Version 3.2.0.1 is preferred.
yes...
4. Do list what else (which files) you have on that uSD. (Using windows)
I'm not sure I understand what you want here but here's a list of what's on the CWM card: folder (.android secure), folder (Android), folder (DCIM), folder (LOST.DIR),gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip, mlo, u-boot.bin, uImage, update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip, update-encore-cwm.emmc-eyeballer.zip, uRamdisk
5. Briefly describe how and what shows on the CwM Recovery window
If you are referring to when I run CWM from this card it installs everything fine.When I wrote this question I was trying to flash the Mirage ROM from recovery and after I selected "install from sd" and "choose which file to install" my only choice was update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-encore-signed.zip rather than the update-encore_CM72-MiRaGe-03232012.zip I expected to see.
Thanks for trying to help. Later today I will try copying my data sd card to another card and see if that fixes the programs saying the card is not available. If it does I will assume the other card is bad. Seem reasonable?

a. For less complicated, do just put ONE file in the root folder of your CwMR uSD card, not two. Just put the Mirage there, remove the other.
b. FYI, the latest Mirage is also CM7.2-RC1.

So, you're done? all good? I thought you said you cannot perform the update due to file could be found by CwMR.

Ideally, it should only consist of those files that related for boot such "bold" and those flashable zip files. I don't know why those other folders gotten in there. Have this CwMR card being used on any system as storage b4?

If what you listed on 4) above is all correct, then what you see is the Mirage CM7.2 RC1

Well, I guess I have my answer. I tried to format my 16 GB data card and it wouldn't format. Looks like card failure. Unless someone has a better idea I'm just going to order another card and chalk this up to running the OS off the card for so long. If flash memory only has a limited number of read/write cycles that must have burned through them.
Thanks votinh, leapinlar. Any other advice, suggestions, ideas on the situation will be appreciated.

Read/write cycle of the flash devices are usually high, 2000+ time, I doubt that you have burnt through.
Anyway, what tool you use to format your uSD?
---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------
If I was you, b4 purchasing another card, I would try to reformat the card and re-create its flashable CwMR.
If that didn't help, then order new one but note since you only need it for install ROM, 1GB or 2GB is more than enough.

I want at least a 16 GB card for my data and media. I have a 4 GB that I use for CWM and OS testing. I was using the 16 GB card for my OS when I was running off the card. After I installed to emmc I used the 16 GB card for data. The 16 GB is the card that I was having the problem with at the beginning of this thread. Since then I copied everything except my media onto the formatted 4 GB card and everything is running fine. I tried to format the 16 GB card using HPUSBDiskFormat but I got a message "Cannot Format". What program should I be using to format the card?
Other strange things that make me think the 16 GB card was the problem: I recently put some books on the card but they disappeared, one of my apps that is installed on the card keeps disappearing and I have to reinstall it, picture gallery keeps telling me that it can't read the sd, I can't delete files from the card either on the Nook or on my computer.
I hope it isn't the card and you guys know exactly what the deal is but after I put the 4 GB card in place of the 16 GB those problems aren't happening anymore. The final test will be to put an update file on the 4 GB card and boot to recovery. If CWM can see it I can't see how the 16 GB card isn't the problem.

a. For less complicated, do just put ONE file in the root folder of your CwMR uSD card, not two. Just put the Mirage there, remove the other.

I am aware of that but I couldn't get the non-Mirage file to delete. I tried but it wouldn't go away.
b. FYI, the latest Mirage is also CM7.2-RC1.

I am aware of this. Mirage has different buttons and other tweaks.
So, you're done? all good? I thought you said you cannot perform the update due to file could be found by CwMR.

There's CWM on the card and CWM on the Nook. I could not get CWM on the Nook to see the update file on a non-CWM card. Previously it had. I got it to work by reinstalling from my CWM 4 GB card.
Ideally, it should only consist of those files that related for boot such "bold" and those flashable zip files. I don't know why those other folders gotten in there. Have this CwMR card being used on any system as storage b4?

This card was formatted with HPUSBDiskFormat before writing CWM to it.
If what you listed on 4) above is all correct, then what you see is the Mirage CM7.2 RC1

I am aware of this. The fact that it wasn't working like that is the reason I started this thread.
Thanks for your help.

Now, it's a bit clearer that you have both CwM Recovery.
As I always mentioned and recommended NOT to flash CwMR into eMMC as it causes more headache than good but still many others choose to go that way and report more issue. Anyway, let's put that aside.
First step, reformat your 16GB card using MiniTools Wizard. I wish you luck there, if it can't, toss the card but if it's OK then second step, create a flashable CwMR 3.2.0.1 and put just the Mirage ROM in there.
I'm sure you know what to do.
Let us know how things go.

I may have done a dumb thing in installing CWM to the emmc but I was following a guide and didn't want to screw anything up. The reason I put off the emmc install for so long is that fear of bricking my Nook. So far so good on that front.
That tip about MiniTools is very helpful. I was sure there was something better than what I was using but I didn't know what it was. So far I'm getting very strange results when trying to format the card. The program says that the format worked but the files are still on the card. Surface test didn't show any errors. I tried to remove the old partition and create a new one but while that appeared to work there was no change on the card. I do notice that it wants to format the card in NTFS but I was under the impression that it should be FAT 32.
Is the card trashed? I can't think of anything else to try. I even flipped the lock switch and checked it. Still can't delete anything. I can't even delete a picture that I put on there.

As a last hope I tried putting the 16 GB card in my camera to see if the camera could format it. No luck. If the camera can't do anything with it the card is dead. Oh well, at least I got all my data off of it.
Votinh, do you know of any guide to removing CWM from emmc? It wasn't the problem in this case but it's not necessary. I didn't really want it but I thought that's how flashing worked on emmc. I see now that I can use ROM Manager for that.

Honestly, I chose to never flash CwMR into eMMC so I don't have much experience how to remove it, but I'm sure there is way. Will report back if I stumble across any thread about it. NOTE: having CwMR in eMMC is NOT so bad, it just gets you more headache down the road. A lot of people get it installed.
About your card, it's very itchy, ehhhh
Have you actually hit the format button or done or save whatever? and do so with FAT32, not NTFS.
It's first time I've heard the issue.

Yes, unfortunately. I hit format and then the check mark on the far left which I'm pretty sure is save. It certainly said it was doing something and that it had completed the operation successfully. All the files are still on the card though, after 2 formats, one NTFS and one FAT 32, remove and create, and 1 wipe. The files are all still showing on the card and I can't delete any or add any new.

What brand of your 16GB card is it?
I can't imagine that card was extensive damage like that.
Format many times and files still there, amazing.

The card is a Dane Electric from Newegg. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did for running the OS since it's not a SanDisk.

[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.

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.

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:

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.

Back to stock
Great post i want to try this but am wondering is it possible to go back to stock after doing this, i installed clockworkmod before so i have a backup of my original nook before i installed anything.

Yes, just restore your backup.
And BTW, never fully quote a long opening post like that. It just wastes bandwidth and we have to scroll through all that to see your comment or question.

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?

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.

You must get the nook for android app from someplace other than Play Store, like 1mobile.com.

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.

Thanks. Will I need to reflash CM 11 after?

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