Nook HD/HD+ Firmware Update 2.1.1 released
Just a heads up to let folks know that there is an update rolling through for the HD. The main fixes seem to involve a comic book reader and Google Play Music, from what I've read.

We got ours the other day. Is the HD+ getting it, too? I haven't checked mine to see if it did.

HD Plus owners, in case the automated update doesn't work for you, here is the link for your Nook edition (courtesy of XDA devs):
http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/no...1_1_update.npk Copy via USB into the root path of the Nook's internal memory, then unplug USB and wait. The device should automatically detect the update. |

My HD will download the update over wifi, but not install, does anyone have any idea why? I have a launcher and an SD card installed but the underlying software is still Nook.
Edited to say that I took the SD card out and the update downloaded and installed straight away. So even though the SD card was just additional storage it obviously affected the update installation. Just in case anyone else has a similar issue. Last edited by Josieb1; 08-15-2013 at 04:46 PM. |

I have an SD card in my HD and the update downloaded and installed automatically without a problem, though it did seem to reboot itself twice, and went through a sequence where it "optimized" each of my apps.

I checked on my HD+ when I got home last night. It had apparently updated itself without any problems. I have an SD card in it. The comic book reader doesn't seem to like comic book files with bilevel pngs in them. The jpgs show up ok, but the pngs are all black. They display fine with a different reader.

I can only state that I spent an hour trying to download and install the update last night, the download was fine but the install wouldn't happen. I even downloaded it on my PC and copied it into the drive manually and still nothing happened. The moment I took my SD card out the update downloaded and installed immediately, in minutes.

Thanks for the tip. I sadly haven't hardly used my HD+ since the Nexus 7 arrived. The screen quality is just so much better on the Nexus that I haven't been able to put it down.
I may have to play with rooting the HD, having pure Android is very much to my liking! |

And that reminds me....the Nook is better due to the SD card slot! So there! ETA from the leaked specs, the newest Kindle Fire HD 7" has the same resolution as the newest Nexus 7. I wonder if they will have a better UI on the new Fire. (Still don't want one). Last edited by booklover6; 08-18-2013 at 11:40 AM. |

SD card makes all the difference for me and that is where my HD+ excels for me at least for the near future. I'll have to be looking for a new one maybe next year, but an SD card will still be a deal breaker for me.
