[HOW-TO] Updating Nook HD+ Internal EMMC from CM11 to LN14.1

[digixmax]

Will this guide also work on the Nook HD? (Using the equivalent Hummingbird files, of course).

Yes, it should work using equivalent Recovery and ROM zip files for Hummingbird.

Download the following files to a location in your user content-media storage space on the HD+:

So anywhere in internal storage, like /downloads or do I need to move it to /media? Thanks.

I think just about any folder would do, especially as TWRP install menu can browse around internal emmc and external sd storage.

Thanks, worked flawlessly.

I have a Bn nook hd + that I installed cm 11 on. I tried to upgrade to ln 14.1 using the instructions here and had similar results to baytee. I tried the various alternate options with no luck. When I turn on the tablet the lineage os starts up but crashes during the setup. I'd like to try re installing the stock rom. I have a couple of questions. I downloaded the file NookHDplus-stock-2.1.1-rooted, hopefully this is the correct file. In post #13 it says to flash stock ROM you need CWM version 6.0.2.8. There are three files labeled CWM version 6.0.2.8. Do I need to install all three? And finally, which sequence do the files get installed. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Did you try installing only ROM and not GApps, as suggested in the note re: setup process crashes in my OP?

You only need any one of the three files. The first two versions contain a bootable recovery sdcard image which you can write to your sdcard (using e.g., win32diskimager); see note #1(a) of leapinlar's post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613) if you choose to the 3rd version.

And finally, which sequence do the files get installed.

See leapinlar's notes #1 and 6.

Thanks for the reply. I tried installing only the rom but it did not work. I tried all the other alternatives on the thread and got the same result. Lineages opens and starts the set up process. After I set up the wifi and click next the tablet crashes. I will try and install the stock rom. Thanks again for the help.

Did you do "wipe & factory reset" prior to flashing ROM zip file?

Did you do "wipe & factory reset" prior to flashing ROM zip file?

Yes I did. I just tried installing stock but it didn't work. When I tried to install the rom I got the same error as before regarding ovation and error code 7. Regardless of which method I use, when I boot I get the Nook screen then cyanoboot. I even did an advanced wipe using twerp and tried again but the Nook and Cyanoboot are still there. I think I'm going to leave it for now. I don't have a lot of experience with android so maybe when I have more time I will try again after doing more research.

Adding a "me too" here - both to the earlier problem of not recognizing it as ovation and the crash during setup - for info, the screen goes all flashy and broken up for a few seconds then tablet switches off. Full wipe before hand, but just the ROM installed, not ROM/GAPPS in one go.

Did you first update your Nook's internal (EMMC) recovery to TWRP, then use reboot into the new TWRP recovery to flash the ROM/GApps?

Also, you might consider trying the older build dated 01/07 (downloadable at https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/folder/3262390066), and/or trying the alternate procedure outlined at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-installing-ln14-1-internally-hd-t3562810.

Sorted. Followed these instructions to use ADb to set the flags for the first run wizard https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72104906&postcount=37

Lineage is dying during initial setup. As soon as I hit the "Next" button on Location services, the screen starts to break up and it eventually reboots.

I had the same problem on the Wifi connection page during the initial setup.

In my case the problem was solved by flashing Gapps immediately after flashing Lineage and only then rebooting from recovery into the initial setup.

Trying to download the files to update. Can't seem to get them, it says they were deleted.

Also, I'm updating from a cm13 nightly. Would this work the same?

The files are occasionally inaccessible most likely due to system maintenance.

The procedure for upgrade from CM13 is the same.

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction ... My tablet was originally running CM11 and CWM internally.

I was also unable to install TWRP using the flashable zip. Same Error mentioned in post #2. Anyway, I was able to successfully flash TWRP using the "TWRP Manager" app by JMZ Software. For some reason, the official TWRP app kept failing as well.

Anyway. I booted into TWRP and chose to completely wipe everything. It happily did this, but it seems to have also wiped away the partition information from whatever mmc device is meant for /data. I am unable to mount internal storage. Fantastic.

Exposing the terminal in TWRP shows this in red:

Failed to mount '/data' (No such device)

The tablet seems to have some water damage that has messed up the sdcard slot, but works fine otherwise. I ran CM11 for several days before getting the bug to upgrade. Fixing my problem via booting to the sdcard is unfortunately NOT an option.

I do still have ADB access to the device. Here are the contents of /dev/block, followed by what is currently mounted on the device.

I can't download the files from box, because they have been deleted.
Is there an alternativ link?

The files are occasionally inaccessible due to system maintenance. Just keep trying again some other time.
