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

[leapinlar]

Cool, Thanks for the reply. Ive never used any Cyanogen Roms before. Does it really change much on the device? I tried to browse their website, but it only lists nook color as compatible.

Do you have any advice or information that I may need concerning this? Its super easy on my phone, but this is a whole new animal. Also, is Cyanogen the only replacement ROM available?

Sorry for all of the questions, I just bought this about an hour ago as I wanted something else to tinker with as my HTC One is finally about perfect lol

This thread will guide you on how to put CM10/CM10.1 on an SD that is used as your primary operating system. It does not modify internal memory at all. But it is difficult to use this setup if you want to boot back and forth to stock. If you want to do that, go to my Hybrid guide linked in my signature and that installation will let you easily boot back and forth. If you want to jettison stock altogether and just run CM10.1 on internal memory, verygreen had a thread in the development section to do that.

The real advantage of using this setup in this guide is it does not touch stock at all and if you remove the SD, it is still pure stock. The other two options modify your internal memory.

And yes, this verygreen provided CM10/CM10.1 ROM is the only alternate ROM available. And it is very different than stock.

Gotcha, sounds like ill go this route. If I don't like it I can always remove and reformat the card

Time to start working on it, wish me luck!

Oh, and thank you for the reply

How do I boot* (sorry) CM10 from internal memory without adb? I just copied the files to a folder on the nook...this appears to be wrong. How do I install the CM10 and gapps files zips after I'm in CWM? This part doesn't appear very clearly in the guide :\

don't know what you mean, book CM10.

You download the CM10 zip in stock to sdcard. Or if copying from PC with your USB cable, copy to internal SD. Then boot to CWM and choose install zip from SD/choose from internal memory and it should be there.

Sorry about that, meant "boot." When you say copying from PC, could you be specific? So I open the "internal storage" folder in windows and copy the zips right there? Or make a new folder and stick them in a new folder? I tried this and it says "E:Can't mount /emmc/"

Thanks for the quick answer! This community is awesome. I've been a lurker for too long.

If you have stock running and connect the USB cable you should see the portable nook device on the lower left windows explorer pane. The choose internal SD and copy there, no folder, just copy. Then boot to CWM and follow directions.

hmm that's exactly what I did. Let me retrace my steps:

sandisk 32gb class 10 with nook hd+ 16gb

used Win32DiskImager to put cwm early4 on the card. booted from the card, screen finally loads, reboot. mount sdcard, then try to install zip from internal memory which pops up the error above.

If you want to use the internal memory method, you must use my image in this thread, not early 4. It has been modified to use internal memory. I think I said that in the first post. Maybe I might need to make it clearer (done, OP updated).

I want to thank you first for all the amazing tutorials I have seen you posting on here.

I have a couple of quick questions before making the switch to Hybrid as I think that will suit me a little better.

I followed the directions here and I can load into 10.1 flawlessly. I questioned if it was draining my battery so I took out the SD card and rebooted to stock. I did a device reset through the device setting on the stock Nook OS so I had to renter all my info and everything. I did this because I was trying to kind of test where certain items I was trying to transport over were ending up in the file system and got a little confused by SD CARD and EMMC and where they would be. I figured with the card out and the fresh restore all those files would be gone and it would be good as new. I was able to see the "my files" folder again which for whatever reason I like to put my files in. After I little bit I decided the battery drain was the same and thought for sure I would have to completely redo this whole set up to get back into CM10.1 since the downloaded gapps and cm zips were gone. I redownloaded them and put my card back and rebooted and it went straight back into the cm 10.1 without having to do the install of the zips which all this back story leads me to my questions:

1) Since I never installed those zips from my internal memory I am assuming when I did they get unzipped to my physical sd card itself. The same card with the CWM image on it.

2) Since the apps that I previously downloaded from the Play Store while on 10.1 were still there when I rebooted are those also on my SD card or are those simply shortcuts if you will to them on the actual internal memory of my device itself.

3) I wanted to go hybrid and saw that I should restore from backup and even though I know I did a backup before installing the CM10.1 zip or the gaps it did not find a backup from internal and it said M someting does not match from the sd card route (those error messages may be reversed) Since I have another blank SD card can I essentially skip this step and just burn a new SD image on the new card for the hybrid?

I just want to make sure any apps I download go to my actual device and not my CWM card which I am sure is the case but seeing those apps still there after I did that factory reset on the device is what threw me off.

1. When you did the Original SD install, everything got put on the SD, the same one with the CWM. That was why it was still there when you reset stock.

2. Your installed Play Store apps from CM10.1 got put on the SD also.

3. What you want to do now if you want to transfer your apps and data from your existing SD to the new Hybrid SD, is to boot to the existing SD CWM (do it from the CM10.1 power off menu, select boot to recovery). Then in CWM select backup and restore and pick backup to internal sdcard.

After it finishes, since you have a spare SD, start fresh with that SD per the Hybrid instructions, eventually flashing the CM10.1 rom and gapps and the converter zip. Before you reboot, go to the backup and restore menu on that same CWM you have inserted and choose advanced restore from internal sdcard and select the earlier backup you made and select data. That will put the old SD's data on your new setup. Then reboot and you will be all setup just like before.

If you have trouble finding the reboot to recovery menu choice in the old SD CM10.1, you need to go to settings, about tablet, and tap the build number several times. That will activate the developer options. Go to that and put a check in the advanced boot checkbox. Then you will see that reboot to recovery choice after you select the reboot in the power off menu.

Any apps you install in stock will go to the stock internal memory. Any apps you install in CM10.1 get put on CM10.1 data, not stock. They are separate.

Thank you for that amazingly quick response. The community really is great here. I just got the nook so I literally have like 3 apps on it that would be nothing for me lose/redownload so could I essentially skip that step 3 and the part following that?

Since I have the 32gb version I would prefer the apps I download in 10.1 to go to the internal memory as if it were stock. Is there anyway to do this whether it by through Hybrid or would that only be an option through EMMC CM 10.X install?

Yes you can skip the backup and restore.

There is not a way for installed apps in CM10.1 to show in stock, if that is what you wanted. But the Hybrid does store the CM10.1 apps in a special place in internal memory that is only available to CM. That is why it is called Hybrid. Some stuff is on the SD and some on internal memory. That makes it run faster than the other SD you had set up and allows easy booting between stock and CM without removing the SD.

Yes that was exactly what I was looking for and what drew my attention to the Hybrid setup to begin with. I dont necessairly want it for the dual booting as much as I do for being able to have my apps on CM 10.1 actually be stored on internal. I am completely content with only being able to access those apps while I am booted in CM, I just wanted them stored on internal not on the card itself. Now other files liks pics and books that can be access by both correct? Also I cannot thank you enough for how helpful and one on one you have been with myself and everyone else.

Yes, if you flash my vold zip in my hybrid thread. It modifies stock so it can access the media files on the SD.

I'm sorry when I meant by "on both" I meant by the stock system and by the cm10.1 system. You response seems more like it was in regards to the internal storage vs removable storage. I just completed the Hybrid install and it went super smooth. I honestly cannot thank you enough for your contributions here. I have two other small questions: Everytime that I am in CWM and try to backup I get a message along the lines of /sys not found or missing. I forget the exact wording. Hopefully you know what I am talking about by my terrible description. Also and I apologize because I know this is completely unrelated to your work but the default time/weather widget has all the info correct except the temperate appears to be in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.

I was talking about stock and CM10.1 both being able to use the same media partition on the SD for storing files. So if you downloaded a file on CM10.1 to your sd, you could access it by stock. If you want that you must flash my vold swapped zip.

And that error message is normal 'can't find ext_sd ' or something like that.

And you are right, I know nothing about the weather widget.

Haha well thank you so much again for everything you have helped me out with. The other stuff seems like just oddball stuff I can find throughout these forums. It is a real pleasure to have such a competitive tablet for less than 200

Battery life

I've searched around and went thru threads and can't seem to find anything. I booted this all up and everything works great, but... My battery was at 93% last night and woke up to a completely dead tablet. Is there something I did wrong? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks in advance!

Oh...and the screen will blink while in settings and certain apps... ??

There is an issue with this setup where sometimes it will randomly reboot to stock and then it gets stuck at 99% in stock and stays on, draining the battery.

The solution is to move to my Hybrid system linked in my signature. That system has been modified to allow a reboot to stock without the getting stuck at 99% and draining the battery. There are less reboots and it runs smoother too.

It will not help with the screen blink though.

To get to recovery when stuck on the cyanoboot, hold the power button until it turns off. Then power on again and when the cyanoboot logo comes up, hold the power and n key for a few seconds (not too long or it will power off again), then release the keys and it should boot to recovery.

See my other response in my other thread to understand your issue with CM10.1.

i am having the same issue where i flashed CM 10.1 and it was stuck in a boot loop. i wanted to go back to CWM to restore the stock rom and now cyanoboot is stuck. i tried the method described with the holding of the buttons but nothing... any idea? did i brick it? i hope not...
