[Q] HD+ installing CM10

[Larrondo]

Sorry for what I'm sure is a dopey noob question. I've been pulling out my hair reading through various threads and I can't figure out what I'm doing. I downloaded Mr. Verygreen's "cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip" and I'm not entirely sure if I am just supposed to copy that to the SD card or what-- I tried that but wasn't sure anything good came of it-- then downloaded CWM. Followed instructions to get Nook HD+ to boot CWM. Everything is going fine until I hit this instruction: "Now do Code: adb push cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip /sdcard." I don't know how to do that so I follow the alternate instruction, to put the SD card back in the PC and "put zip files to volume named "CM10SDCARD" (not "boot")." However, the SD card is now named "Boot" and there's no files or anything I can access which ISN'T BOOT and my progress stops right there.

Again, sorry. I'm sure this has been answered but I couldn't find it. Thanks for your great work, everyone.

You won't be able to copy to the CM10SDCARD partition in Windows. You'll either need to use a linux live-cd (I use ubuntu) in a virtual machine (like virtualbox, which is free) and use that to copy the files, or set up adb to copy directly to the hd+. Leapinlar has a thread detailing how to setup adb on windows for the HD+, you should be able to find it in the forums. Personally, I have an Ubuntu dual-boot, so I use my Ubuntu OS to copy the files to the SD card. Setting up a virtual machine is also extremely easy (you don't need to install the OS, just boot from the iso image, which you can download for free from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop; choose either of the two options, won't make much of a difference). VirtualBox is very easy to use and you can just follow the documentation. Check out this website for a very simple step by step guide:

Ahhh, thanks a ton for clearing this up. I thought writing CWM to the card was the only thing Windows was bad at. Although I'm sure Virtualbox is easy, I just plugged the card into my girlfriend's MAC and there it was-- the folder I was looking for.

Installed. Looks to be working great.
