[Nook HD+] CM10.1/SGT7 SD/Hybrid Development (ROM updated 12/31)

• cyanoboot menu
• Pure SD (4 Partitions)
  • Install ROM purely in SD card (Speed very dependent on SD card performance)
  • Dual boot BN Stock and CM (Need to temporarily eject SD while Stock is booting to allow it to boot completely)
• Hybrid SD/EMMC (3 Partitions)
  • ROM System stored in SD card while Data is shared with Stock in EMMC (Better performance than pure SD)
  • Dual boot BN Stock and CM seamlessly

1. Download the latest CM10.1 ROM below to your internal storage using the stock BN ROM.
   While at it, you may also want to download the latest gapps-jb-20130301 here.
2. Depending on the type of installation decided, download one of the zip files below to your PC.
   • Pure SD - sdcard-cwm-ovation-sdv1.img.zip
   • Hybrid SD/EMMC - sdcard-cwm-ovation-hybridv3.zip *** updated 6/12 ***
     For existing hybrid installation, extract file from update.20130612.ramdisk-hybrid.hd+.zip and overwrite ramdisk.hybrid of the boot partition using your PC. Boot and your hybrid setup will now be running under the latest version.
     (This will format data in the EMMC stored by leapinlar's HD+ hybrid installation. Use Pure SD installation instead if preserving previous hybrid installation is so desired) Edited: Look here for instruction from leapinlar in preserving previous data.
3. Extract the downloaded file in step 2 and write the resulting image into the SD card using any appropriate tool. (All data in the card will be destroyed)
4. Turn the Nook HD+ off and insert the newly written card into its SD slot.
5. When the device is turned on again, it should be able to boot from the SD card now. (For some SD cards not booting, look here)
6. The cyanoboot screen will appear at the initial boot. (Do not interrupt during this process. The device will reboot once if installing the Hybrid)
7. Wait until the CWM Recovery is displayed. (At this point in time, the SD card will be properly partitioned and formatted, ready for ROM flashing)
8. Install the downloaded ROM in by selecting install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from internal sdcard -> file downloaded in step 1. Do the same with gapps (optional).
9. Reboot the device and CM10.1 should start booting.
10. Wait until the ROM is properly booted the first time. (It may take a while and blank/distorted screens may be encountered during this time)
11. Enjoy your new CM10.1/SGT7.

1. Download the latest CM10.1 ROM below to your internal storage using the stock BN ROM/CM10.1.
2. Boot into CWM Recovery.
3. Install the downloaded ROM by selecting install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from internal sdcard -> file downloaded in step 1. No need to reinstall gapps.
4. Reboot.

So I went for the Hybrid version and here is my initial report:

The device did not at first boot to the SD card. I had to restart the device a few times while holding different variations of buttons to get it to boot from sd. Once I got into CWM, everything went very smooth. The ROM itself was working really well and I was setting it up and everything was running smooth. Google Play Books kept crashing on me so I decided to do a reboot to see if that would help. The device again would not boot into CM (but rather booted into stock) without various reboots by me, so that's frustrating. But even worse, when it finally did start to boot from SD, I keep getting stuck at the cyanboot loading page where it says on the bottom that it's loading hybrid from SD. It never progresses passed that stage....so I can't access the ROM....so I'm stuck. Any advice???
