Nook HD+ HDMI Video but no sound - bokbokan SD bootable

I have a Nook HD+ and I'm using bokbokan's cyanogenmod bootable SDcard image. When I connect an HDMI cable I'm getting video but no sound. Anyone else experience this or know how to fix?

link to bokbokan thread that I used to create the bootable SDcard image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583952

No Joy

Regardless of which build or method I use, nightly or otherwise, SD, EMMC, or Updating from within CM10, I've never been able to get CM11 working on my Nook HD+ 16GB. Each try ends in my device getting stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen (revolving arrow). The only recovery is to flash back to CM10. Any ideas?

Which version of CWM are you using? It must be v6045 or newer.

The SD image in my original post works fine for me on an Nook HD+ 16GB.

My only issue is that I get no sound when I connect HDMI out to my TV.

Are you factory reseting with CWM after flashing the ROM?

Yes, doing a Factory Reset. Also have tried clearing and not clearing cache, neither seemed to have any effect.

Thanks for your attention. It looks like I've found a build that works. cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-ovation.zip installed and booted rather quickly. None of the other nightly or official/unofficial builds seem to have worked, but I'm up and running now.

Help

Ok so I managed to install cm-11-20140706-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation. Installation ran smoothly and everything was fine (kitkat running ok and I was able to go into main menu etc.), until I powered off the device. I remembered the display sort of paused for a brief moment and the device powered down. As I turned it back on, it boots back to the original factory rom.

I've lost my back up rom and cynoboot now only allow selection of either no.1 (boot from Stock ROM), or no. 4 (boot CWM recovery).

I have tried installing the newer ROM (cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation) but it says E: Can't Open /emmc /cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation.zip (bad) -tried downloading the file again with same result..

Out of desperation I tried all the menu functions from wiping and formatting to hard resetting it, but nothing happens. It can still boot to Stock ROM fine though. Any help to get this thing rooted with kitkat running is much appreciated..

Patience is the key ...

Patience. No, I'm not good at it either, but combined with the slower operations on the bootable microSD card, I had to wait about 15-20 minutes for the revolving arrow to stop. Touch the screen occasionally, so that the processor stays up to speed (I shouldn't think that necessary, but it stopped revolving when I touched the screen after about 20 minutes).

Noob Questions

I realize these questions will likely seem obvious to everyone, but I couldn't find an answer looking through the forum, so I figured I would ask before proceeding to try this;

The instructions say to download the SD Card Image - I see the links under "SD Card Images", but I also see similar looking links under "Cyanoboot Sources"
Example: SD Card Images: HD: sdcard-hummingbird-cm11.0-v1.img
Cyanoboot Sources: HD: u-boot-hummingbird-cm11.tgz

My question is are these the same thing? Do I need both? One or the other?

Maybe some helpful info: I have a Stock Nook HD 8gb running 2.2.0, never done anything to it other than the factory updates.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the great posts

I want to thank everyone for the outstanding work here that allowed a complete noob to take my stale 2 year old Nook HD from blah to WOW in a few simple steps.
I really worried about getting a good SD card, but I was able to exFat format an ADATA 64GB Class 10 card which then tested to 1.62 MB/s on Random Write 4KB (QD=32) on CrystalDiskMark (5 iterations, 50MB). Already owned it as I actually purchased it for the nook, but it seemed like it would not store on the external card.

I followed the instructions exactly as posted on page 1 of this thread and I have the following results: (All confirmed with Screenshots I hope will post)
Total space: 57.12GB! (dramatic improvement over factory Nook HD)
Up time: 18+ hours and going strong with NO forced restarts
Android Version: 4.4.4!

update installation steps

Hello,

I have the August update installed for the cm11 sd install on the hd+. Simple question:
What's the procedure to install the updated Rom(11/23)? Do I just boot to recovery and
flash the Rom? Or do I have to do some other things ( wipe? and/or flash gapps?).

Thanks

If you mean the updated 11/22 version that bokbokan posted earlier, yes, just flash with no wiping.

is there an update to this version (HD: cm-11-20141122-UNOFFICIAL-bok-hummingbird)

I used the install process at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583952 to install HD: cm-11-20141122-UNOFFICIAL-bok-hummingbird - Dev-Host | Android File Host, and the gap below that, and followed all the instructions below that. KK woks fine on my nook hd, except that I am unable to use kobo, as it can't find my connection to allow me to sign in, and also can't use another app because when I try to aces it's store for my previous purchases I get an SSL error. Is there any way to update this version of KK I installed, or is there a different way to do this so that I can update on a regular basis? Thanks

If you want to keep using this SD based kk, you have no choice but to wait for bokbokan to update to a new version. Other versions of kk will not work on the SD setup.

As Spock used to say, there are always possibilities

There is Verygreen's SD-bootable variant (HD+ only): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572

cm_cache not on EMMC

Is there the option of moving the cm_cache off of the EMMC? My EMMC is trim bricked and doesn't work; I am trying to figure out how to move cm_cache to the SD card.

Search the forum for the term noemmc. Verygreen made an SD version of CM so it does just that for bricked emmcs.
