Hey all. My SD card holder is physically busted. I cannot access it at all. I was running rooted 1.1. I need to send the nook off for repair and would like to restore it to factory before I send it off. Can that easily be done? I tried the power on and off 5(6) times but it didn't do anything. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Joe

Keep doing boot interrupts... when you get to 8 it should present you with a screen that it is installing software....
But, you didn't say if you installed cwr on emmc or not... that may present with other issues/options... if you did... or if the 8 failed boots don't work... can use adb to get the stuff you need where you need it.
Cwr is on the emmc.

http://theunlockr.com/2009/06/21/how-to-save-apps-to-your-sd-card-on-the-g1/
after going through the process of rooting and loading a new rom from the above link , my last step to was to save the apps to my sd card, followed steps and set the part to 297.3 and then my phone stays on the G1 bootup screen does not want to boot up, has this step claimed another phone? a little annoyed at the moment
Could we get a developer's take on this issue?
ok followed steps to reload JF update on phone and its back to its normal state. I wont be follwoing the above links anymore...
Can someone point me to a better apps to sd link?
If the phone isn't rooted would a corrupted sdcard cause the phone to get stuck at the android screen? My thoughts are that only rooted software generally accessed the sdcard during bootup. Lemme know thx all.

Highly unlikely, if you have doubt you could just reformat the sd card in your pc before booting the phone
don't think it's possible...
Ok so I have totally messed my brand new device, this is second day I have had it. I got it yesterday and first thing I did was install DeeperBlues HC v4 on my eMMC. It was easy. I had to use Autonooter first. I was on 1.0.1. Well after playing with it all night. I started to not like the functioning of apps on the platform. They were great but was in my opinion, no greater than when it was just rooted. So I decided to bring it back to stock. I accidently placed wrong sd card in it, the one with Autonooter on it. Now when it boots up it says Loading.... then I get the word ANDROID in lower left had side of screen in landscape. I am a noob when it comes to this. Now I flash and mess with my phones rom and themes and kernels all the time kind of a junkie, but this is no walk in the park.
Please can someone help me.

I think you rooted your Nook which could be a fine thing. If that's not what you want, getting it back to stock is very easy.
Here's a link: http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
The tricky part is to get the timing right so that you get the 8 failed boots (that took me a while). If it looks like it's about to boot up up, hold down the power button till it goes off (at least I think that's what I did). If you have adb installed (or install it) you can get around that.

Yeah, but that's not going to work, he installed HC on the internal eMMC the first day he owned it.........

Is this going to help me. My original firmware was 1.0.1.
Just grab the CWR 1.1 Recovery image from the development forum. Burn that onto an SD Card and reboot. Wipe data boot system cache and flash. done.
Find rootpack in dev section, write that to sd card, add the flashable restore to stock zip from samuelhalffs restore to stock thread in the dev section to your sdcard, boot to sdcard with the rootpack on it, flash the restore to stock zip after formatting system and data. Wala, fixed! All info can be found in my dummies guide to my nook won't boot a few threads down.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. This worked. I now have my Nook back. Thanks.

Ok still need help. I seem to have installed CWR but now i am watching the Nook Color boot animation looping over and over. I tried to reboot but it is still looping. What do I do again? Do I reinstall sd card? And reflash the rom?

Yes Please I'm thinking I've got the same problem.
Just received a Motorola Droid never been rooted. I've done the RSD lite thing,
rooted using z4root
and am unable to mount my internal sd card, there is no ext_sd even with my external sd card in. It only will mount the external, I cant get access to root to transfer any roms to it.
and cwr does not let me in only the standard e3 recovery. any helps?
Yes, please do explain how you fixed this problem. I've got a rom that I can't get the sd card to work
Hello I've had a Nook HD+ working since August beautifully, I thought to get one for my sister and picked one up over the weekend.
Today I decided make it like mine, ie take off the B&N interface and try for a most vanilla like jelly Bean.
These are the instructions I followed last time....
"1. Download leapinlar's NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip
2. Extract the zip above and burn the img to a 4GB or larger microSD card
3. After burning, copy cm-10.1-20130512-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip and gapps-20130301-jb-signed.zip back to the microSD card
4. Place the microSD card back to the Nook HD+ and boot it
5. Do a backup for the stock ROM
6. After backup is done, do data wipe/factory reset
7. Flash the cm-10.1-20130512-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip and gapps-20130301-jb-signed.zip"
I made a mistake this time around, I used cm-10.2-20131031-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip by accident instead of the EMMC version. Now when I power the unit on, with no SD card it keep rebooting at the Nook screen. With a now corrected SD card it gets stuck at the cyanoboot screen, it dims after a minute but then still just stuck there.
How do I go about fixing this? Thank you in Advance....
Ok so I rebuilt the SD card and it looks like it's kinda back to normal. I did a wipe and then wrote....
cwm-recovery-ovation-3.zip
cm-10.2-20131031-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Rebooted and now it gets stuck at that spinning logo, the logo never goes to the correct aspect ration. Screw it I'm done for today.
Tomorrow I'll try doing a restore to factory defaults and try the same steps again, if it should fail again, then I'll restore, wipe, and try the exact same files I used on mine. Unless someone has a better guide/method to use....
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
You need to get back to pure stock so that everything can be done over. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and use your already burned CWM SD to flash a plain stock ROM from item 6. Also do a factory wipe with it.
Then start over, but use the dummies guide for CM10.1.
Edit: I did not see your second post when I wrote this. But I think the advice still holds.

OK go tit all settle! I used your stock image, booted up to normal, then went back, wiped, and did the usual files. The latest file cm-10.2-20131031-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc Gave me keyboard errors, so I went back to the old file I used previously on mine, cm-10.1-20130615-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc, and everything seems perfect.
Thank you for your help! You are a man among men!

I'm trying to follow your method of going back to stock on emmc, but I can't get my nook into recovery. I have re-made my SD card multiple times and the times my HD+ boots off the sd card (mine is one of those thats hit or miss), it will stay stuck on the Cyanoboot screen. If I can't get into recovery somehow, I'm hosed. Any ideas? I want to avoid having to bring it in for 1 year warranty replacement.

i find it hard to believe we are both just screwed. Maybe I'll try and find a different sd card and give that a try. Ugh. This is most bogus.
Hello everybody,
I have even worse problem with cyanoboot - I've bought used NOOK HD+ after someone tried to install cyanogenmod on it, and except holding cyanoboot at screen with an SD card (that I've prepared accordingly leapinlar's page), it has next issues:
1) there is absolutely no response, when I try to turn it on without an SD card;
2) when the SD was untouched by me, it had some other cyanoboot installed on it but with this version nothing in the cyanoboot menu worked: there was a menu and errors in the console every time I've done everything. But, at least, it loaded.
And I have no SD card bigger than 1 GB.
And, question ahead - is it some easy way to figure out whether my B&N is bricked?
Regards

Good luck to you, sir.
Do you mean you are going to try another SD card by making it bootable with CWM? Or are you going to try verygreen's no-emmc build and run your tab directly off the SD? Because I have tried more than a few SD cards for the former to no effect.

Glad you got it exchanged. Nook, after the drop in prices has been extremely good value for money.
I'm in Afghanistan, so an exchange is not happening until my next R&R. I'll probably be able to save enough for a Note 10.1 or Nexus 10 atleast by then.
