[INFO] (Hopefully) Helpful Tips on Booting CM10.1 on Nook HD (sdcard)

Having just spent the last few days reading, downloading, returning and cursing, and finally getting CM10.1 running on my NOOK HD from sdcard...working on a Windows 7 laptop...I thought I'd write up a few quick tips from my (limited) experience. Hopefully someone will find these helpful.
One
To get ADB working correctly...which you'll want to do...get the usb_driver_r04-windows.zip from the NOOK developer's site by following the instructions here. Connect the NOOK to your workstation first and let the OS try to detect and install the drivers. When it fails, open Device Manager, and look for the MTP device, which will have a warning icon next to it. Right-click it, click 'Update driver...' and use the "browse my computer" option for driver software, and use the location where you unzipped the drivers that you downloaded.
Install Java and the Android SDK. Instructions for what to download and how to install are here for Java, and here for the Android SDK. You can ignore the steps for configuring the PATH variable for Java, however you'll want to configure your PATH for the /tools and /platform-tools directories in the Android SDK. You can do this via the GUI but using cmd is easier: Open a cmd prompt as administrator, and type path /? for instructions
After adding the path, add the device ID to the adb_usb.ini file using the instructions here.
After adding the device ID, make sure ADB access is enabled on the NOOK using the instructions here, then verify connectivity by using the instructions here. Run adb kill-server, then disconnect your NOOK
Two
Burn the CWM image file to an sdcard (4GB or greater) using win32diskimager . The CWM image file is found in this thread. Key note: all CWM and CM files for the NOOK HD will have the -hummingbird prepend. You can also download the CM-10.1 image and appropriate gapps version for CM from this thread. Do so.
Pop the sdcard into the NOOK HD and reboot. Once the CWM menu appears, connect the NOOK to your laptop. Windows 7 will not see the device, so you will need to re-install the drivers. Open device manager, look for a device in the list called Barnes and Noble HD (or similar) with a warning icon nearby, right click, select 'Update drivers...', choose the 'Search for driver software on my computer' option and navigate back to the folder where you unzipped the drivers. You will be using the SAME drivers that you downloaded initially.
Once driver install is complete, mount the sdcard using the menu options in CWM. Push the CM-10.1 zip file and gapps.zip file you downloaded to the sdcard using the command adb push <filename> /sdcard.
Install the CM10-1 file first, using the CWM menu options. Reboot the device using the CWM menu after installing CM before installing gapps. According to the instructions in this thread, you don't have to, however, with the three installs I've done so far, for the two that have worked successfully I've rebooted before installing gapps.
That's it. Hopefully these tips will help someone else with a NOOK HD.

Recovery mode bricked on USB Notice picture after try to enable root

Hi
(Sorry for my little english, feel free to speak french if you can)
I have try to root my 4X HD for using a better recovery app (recover pictures deleted in sd card, now you know my skill). I have use this page: (as newbie i cant post outside links)
n fact, I never had an Android device where this was that easy to achive! Our friends at XDA-Developers offer a guide and the necessary tools in this thread. Having a "Microsoft free zone" and "only" running Linux machines (yeah, even the Android ones run a Linux kernel), I was able to follow up those steps with a little adaption here and there -- and so I will sum up the results for Windows and Linux users as well:
Preparation
First you need to download the required tools, all of them available at the linked XDA-Developers thread:
o4xr.zip is the rooting toolkit
IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk to prepare your device
Windows users only: LGUnitedMobileDriver_Ver_3.7.2_LG-P880_LGO4XHD.zip -- the Windows drivers for the device
Having everything downloaded, some additional steps are necessary at your computer:
Windows users only: Unzip and install the drivers
Linux users: Make sure adb is able to detect the device (check with adb devices). If it's not, see at the end of this answer for some hints.
Everybody: Copy IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk to your Optimus (e.g. after connecting it via USB in MTP mode, copy the file to the internal SDCard)
Everybody: Create a new directory, unzip o4xr.zip there, and change into this directory.
The rooting process
On your Optimus, go to Settings→Security and make sure "Unknown Sources" is TICKED (i.e. contains a checkmark)
Go to Settings→Developer Options and enable "USB Debugging"
Now install IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk (e.g. use a file explorer to find and "launch" it)
Open the "SystemBackupTest" app you just installed. Nothing spectacular will happen, so don't be disappointed here.
Hold the power button and choose "Power off and restart".
When you can see the lock screen, you may notice that the phone is running very slowly, this is normal.
Once the device is fully started up again, connect it to your computer with an USB cable. Make sure the phone is in "Charging Only" mode.
On your PC, open a terminal (Linux) resp. command (cmd.exe, Windows) window and change into the directory you've extractedo4xr.zip` into.
(on Windows, you may need admin privileges: right click, run as administrator. On Linux it did fine for me without superuser/root permissions)
Now run the rooting script:
Windows users: type root followed by the enter key
Linux users: type ./root-linux.sh, also followed by the enter key
Any Mac users? Type ./root-mac.sh, also followed by the enter key. Don't worry, it won't root your Mac/Linux machine (Windows users: it is unlikely to root your box, either
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE WHILE THE SCRIPT RUNS! Wait while it does its job. During that process, the phone will reboot automatically a couple of times. The script will inform you about this in your command/terminal window. Once the command/shell prompt returns, the misdeed is accomplished
Now uninstall SystemBackupTest from your Optimus. Do not launch it again at this state, or you might have to start over from step 5
On your phone, open up Google Play Store and search for "SuperSU". Update the app when prompted, then open it. Press OK to update the SU binary.
You now have root and can safely restore the "Unknown Sources" and "USB debugging" settings back to how you had them! Congratulations! Next steps are to install Titanium Backup, LBE Privacy Guard, and all the other things you might need and which require root!
At step 8. i got "command not found" in Terminal (Linux Mint), assuming script don't work i have reboot my device.
Since my phone boot but is very very slow and screen is friezed, even if i can unlock my SIM card by memory pattern (without sim card and always by memory i can see Settings of android but not down the list).
In recovery boot (Sound up + Power), my device show me a picture that would say "dont unplug charge and usb".
I guess my phone is not rooted, adb can list it but not fastbood. LG software (on windows 7) cant communicate with it because usb driver not work. I guess i've try and read more since 8 hours but my brain is off right now. Any help will be very welcome.
Cheers

Easier way
1: Download android studio. 2: Open terminal and type in cd /Users/<User>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools. 3: Put ur device into fastboot and unlock bl and so on.
Android studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
And drivers are not required because mac is linux based like ur android device.

using hombrew
install it:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
install tools
brew install android-platform-tools

everything is the same as in windows or linux. looks pointless.

When I try to run "./adb devices" I get "-bash: ./abd: No such file or directory"
ive rooted phones in the past, but never had to do much with terminal commands or adb... not really sure what im going wrong here... assuming adb not installing correctly?

well, after several more hours of reading ive finally figured it out... im not sure how ive never had to do this on one of my phones in the past

and what did you figure out...?

Exactly this. The OP is a bunch of unnecessary steps.

Does this work for OP3T too?

Can I do this on an 2013 MBP?

Yes, you can get the macOS Monterey Installer but there are a few things extra that will need to be done in order to get it running on an older MBP
I will have a guide soon but you might would consider this is an early build and If that Mac you using is your Daily Driver, well that's up to you

Ok I really appreciate it. Indeed it is actually my dailly driver and I really depend on my Mac, but I think I can try it one weekend for a few hours before going back to Catalina. Will watch out for that guide

Hello!,
First of all I want to thank you for all your work, from downloading the os to creating a patch to let it work on an unsupported machine
So here is the panorama, I am trying to run macOS Monterey on my MBP 13 2013.
There is a guide from you and it requires me to have a bootable USB of Monterey, but after I downloaded it form this guide, also from you I get an error. I will link it below.
I follow all steps during the download and it went well as the installer had about 11.30 GB of size.
The problem was when I try to make the bootable USB. It just wouldn't work, i got the error "command not found". I tried to reformat the drive but nothing. I also downloaded the beta again and nothing.
At that point I though maybe the command was wrong so after researching online for what other people did I found something.
If you use this command without quotes
"sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Monterey\ beta.app --nointeraction"
it actually work.
Keep in mind the drive was 64GB of capacity and was formatted with this parameters:
-name: USB
-File system: MacOS Expanded(Journaling)
-Partition type: GUID partition.
I don't know why but using this command it just work, so maybe you know why...
Anyway, if anyone has that problem, this may work for you!

Anyway, now I am waiting to the process to end and afterwards I am going to use the last guide to get Monterey working
You may think I am crazy but the feature I want the most is low power mode, as my battery has around 1300 cycles, so it don't last for that long. I am planing to replace it but until them I think this may be a good solution.
