Hey guys,
I had a nook and autonooted it. So i'm familiar with that process. However, I returned that nook and got a new one and decided to phiremod it. So with this brandy new nook, I:
turned it on
popped in my clockworkmod sd card
formatted /system and /data
installed phiremod 4.1 from .zip
Failed to install.
What did I do wrong? I can't even get this thing into recovery!

Make sure you are using the Newest CWR image you need to use a CWR that has EXT4 support to install CM7
CWR 3.0.1.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
Ahhh interesting...sucks that the link to it is down.
Also, my nook gets hung up at the stock "n" boot screen after following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Is that norm?

no, what did you do step by step?
O yeah, since the main link is down to CWR you can try this Modified earlier one that support EXT4, it was the first one to do it and still works fine

O i though you said you tried Restoring and now your not getting past boot. but yeah you cleared your system and data, so its going to hang on the N screen till you get something installed.
Let me try restoring 1.1 not 1.0.1 since mine came with 1.1
It looks like you and I are in a similar boat. If you successfully restore to 1.1 would you please post your steps for me?
I gotta try to find 1.1 restorable out there. I can't find it so far.
I haven't wiped the /boot ever. I've only formated the /system /data and /cache and also ran the . I'm wondering if my mounts are messed up?
Also, I did select "Wipe data/factory reset". Is that the prob?
I just successfully installed CM7. Maybe give that a try.
The wipe data/factory reset is the same as wiping data and cache. I'm thinking it has more to du with wiping system and then not flashing a rom properly.
But it should still boot to the SD I would think. Maybe we should try rebuilding /boot? Not that I know how to do that.
Which method did you install cm7 with?
touching /boot is the last thing I would do...

Thanks! I'll give that a shot in the morning glad you're up and running!
Can someone please explain to me the proper steps from point A to point B?
What I did was used an auto-nootered 1.01 B&N Stock rom, i downloaded an EXT-4 compatable CWR (updated it to 3.0.1 also) and then flashed CM7 (formatting system, cache) and I'm stuck in a boot loop...
I had CM7 working awesome the other day, but I guess it didn't support busybox when I installed it because then my nook stopped booting/freezing after a boot.
Can someone just create a real simple flow-chart of what I have to do? Thanks
Oh and I want to install it to the eMMC as well, although I have a class 6 sdcard I'd just much rather know its sitting on my internal and as fast as possible
Al2x,
This is what I did on my NC.
Downloaded the BOOT Only from this thread " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690 "
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal.zip
Downloaded CM7 RC4.
Boot to CWM 3.0.1.0, format Boot, System, Data and Cache.
Turn off the NC, boot to CWM 3.0.1.0 again, flash the BOOT file, then flash with CM7 RC4. I also did downloaded the GAPPS and flash that as well.
Reboot, back in the game.
Hope that would help.

that seems pretty logical. what I just did was basically nootered stock 1.01 and then downloaded EXT4 bootable CWR 3.0.1.0 and formatted system, data, cache, battery stats & dalvik, and didn't touch boot.
It boots up into CM7 just fine, the only thing I've noticed is that I guess not formatting boot leaves the "power of reading" B&N boot screen up, which I don't mind at all, I used to have a nasty pixelated "LOADING" splash come up. Anyways, thanks for the help, I think I might be fine (knocks on wood)
I'm using a CM9 rom on my nook color and I wanted to go back to stock, so I created a cwr sd card. I can boot into recovery, so I format data/system/cache/dalvik and load nookcolor_1_4_1_update-signed.zip, then reboot the nook, it booted up to the Nook Color screen, then would do some weird boot loop is what I'm thinking I was getting. So I tried again, format everything, install the image .After rebooting it looks like its going to work, but then it hangs at the gray n screen. So I used a new sd card and a different cwr image and redid everything, same problem. So I went back to CM9 and it works fine, but why can't I go back to stock? I've read tutorials all over this place and even a few different ones from other websites. I'm following the instructions exactly.

I had the same exact problem when I was experimenting that process for my tips thread. For some reason, CWM is not clearing the partitions with the wipe commands like it should. The only way I could get it to work properly was to use my partition format zip to format them. You can get that zip at my tips thread linked in my signature. That zip version (5-6-7) formats /system, /data and /cache. That thread also has a link to my 1.4.3 stock zip.
thanks!

That did that trick ! Thanks so much. I just ran the 5-6-7 zip, and then installed 1.4.1, and was back to stock, updating now.
I got nook hd+ and used cm version 10.2 something for a while.
The device keeps crashing and restarting like crazy.
1 out of 10 times, it launches, but before I do anything, it crashes. Hell.
It has been crashing and restarting quite often these days, but since last night, all it does is crashing and restarting.
To make matters worse, I tried to format the device and install cm again. It did not work.
I made booting SD card and chose 'wipe data/ factory reset'. And nook said it wiped /data /cache data wipe complete etc. However, files were still there in internal storage.
On top of that, I had to try 4 times to install newest cm-11. It aborted.
Next, I tried to installnookjdplus factory2.2.0 . It had error. (status 6) to ne specific.
So, I tried newest cwm recovery. It installed, but nook still crashed.
I persevered and tried to install cm 11. It installed, but still crash and restart.
Hell. I literally spent whole day doing this. I am confused and frustrated and angry and experiencing a few other negative emotions English language dows not have in words.
Please, some advice.

CM10.x, CM11, and stock ROM need different versions of CWM recovery.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for info/pointers on flashing CM11.
To go back to stock ROM, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613(item #6).
When switching between CM10, CM11, and stock ROM, you need to do "wipe /data & factory reset".
If none of the above helps the your problem might be due to an unruly app or hardware related.

Ok. At least I got my biggest problem now.
I think my roblem is wipe data/factory reset does not do job it is supposed to do.
I still see folders and files in internal memory after factory reset. I think that is why install aborts and crashes even after successful install.
I think my problem is that wipe data/factory reset does not do its job
It gives me message it is formatting data cache and stuff. And last day they gave me data wipe complete. But the problem is, in internal memory, I can still see old folders and old files.
I think he should be gone if it is formatted. Where do I get the meaning of factory reset wrong?
Its not what is wrong with me. And how can I make factory reset work
And second question is that I tried to install B&N original operating system from cwm-based recovery. I tried a few different versions of
nookHDplus-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock.zip
However it always fail to install. Install aborted for some reason.
Thanks. It seem helpful.

Going back to stock Rom 6 explains error message and aborting of install.
However the problem is where do I get CWM V 60036 or eariler?
Googling does not work.9

You can get v6036 on that same thread digimax referenced above (my CWM thread linked in my signature). And a data wipe does not wipe your media files. To do that, go to mounts and storage and select wipe "data and datamedia".

trying it. hope it works.
did not work
for about deleting internal data, I went to 'mounts and storage'. used 'format /sdcard' and 'format/ data and/ data/media (/sdcard), but still has stuff in internal memory.
and to my surprise , I have been using CWM-6028. so far. I thought its name was 'NookHDplus-bootable'.
hell. stupid me.
Anyhow, CWM-6028 has been giving me troule
so, I would try other versions.
So far, I have done
1. made boot sd by burning image.
2. copy 'NookHDplus-factory-2.1.0-plain-stock' files and other versions.
3. Insert SD in device and boot CWM.
4. choose zip from sdcard.
5. install factory plain stock.
then I get message 'Failed to retouch 'system/lib/libemoji.so' (WTF is libemoji? and it is always this same file.)
E: error in sdard/nookHDplus-factort-2.2.1-plain-stock.zip(status7)
Installation aborted.
hell. And I tried every factory zip.
Am I doing something wrong?
Failed tp retouch '/system/lib/libemoji' is error message I get
Everytime I tried to install factory stock.
I tried every version of stock files. And I tried all CWM. And even tried TWRP, but it is always the same message what the hell is that emoji?
And what can I do with it?
What frustrates me the most is the fact that it installed 99% in a minute without trouble and stays there 410 minutes until it fails to install. It's driving me crazy
Does CM makes Factory reset by power button and home button does not work either.
Because I am getting message factory reset failed.
If CM is not the reason for it, well, something is wrong. Very wrong.
I am suspecting Internal memory corrupted lr something.
I should seriously consider throwing it away now.

It is possible you have a bricked emmc. When bricked it looks like it is writing but is really read only and nothing takes. If you still have media files after a successful format data and datamedia then it is bricked. Probably best to get rid of it. You can buy a refurbished unit very cheaply these days.

Assuming that your EMMC is shot, you can try running off SD card this no-emmc version of CM11 ROM: https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/. It's best to use a card with fast randomized block read/write (which is what Class 4 cards are typically best at).
Thanks guys. By the way, what is emmc?
Is it part of CM software?
Does not sounds like hardware.
If I had factory resetted a day earlier, I would not have had problems.
Well. That is the way it is.
I finally kind of got nook working. I am running it on SD card now.
I got to thank you guys for your good advices.
Problem is that this ecmm free booting shrinks storage space.
No matter what is size of SD card, Internal storage is 900mb and SD card got 100mb. (I mean virtual Internal storage the file made in SD card) Not enough space to hold a movie.
I am happier to have tab working, but also wish to use full space of my SD.
At least I wish I can have a few Gs of storage.

Right after burning the ROM image to SDcard, it should be possible to use a disk partitioning tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard to examine the SDcard ROM image's partitions and resize the /data partition to fill up the un-allocated space.

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49007593&postcount=84 for some pointers on how to create a CM SD card with customized partition sizing for HD+. Although it was written for CM11, you should be able to adapt it for CM10.2 by using the appropriate ROM and GApps zip files corresponding to CM10.2.
Please confirm if my problem has any other solution
my NOOK HD+ I have CMW 10.2.1 with 6.0.4.6 recovery. Nook went to loop while booting. Now I can go to recovery and able to boot SD recovery CMW 6.0.2.8. But issue is:-
1. For any update even for Stock ROM it gives status 7 error.
2. With system recovery 6.0.4.6 when I try factory reset the TAB reboot same happen when i try to format DATA. While factory reset and DATA format happens with 6.0.2.8 position remains same.
3. When I try to make backup on internal storage both with 6.0.4.6 (TAB recovery) or 6.0.2.8 (From SD card) it makes boot,recovery and system image but give error as failed to backup /DATA.
4. I have done every thing right from various and latest ROM's ( error Status 7), Formatting boot,system but 6.0.4.6 on NOOK is intact and is in loop.
Please tell How I can over come this STATUS 7 error or DATA backup error.

CWM v6.0.4.6 is not compatible with CM10.x, you need to flash back to the CWM version you previously used.
