I've been trying like crazy to make a bootable sd card to run cm9 with no success. the Cyanogen universal bootloader comes up, but when it goes to boot up the ROM it just sits on a black screen for about 15 seconds then reboots. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It would be so much useful if you could also describe us which installation method did you follow.
Produced by NookColor at CM9 4.0.4
I followed verygreens method. Over the last 6 months, I've performed this method a good 30-40 times for cm7. From what I understand, I'm supposed to perform this same method for cm9. I've tried using both image installers just to make sure I was using the correct one

You need to rename the cm zip to begin with update-.
Or are you starting with a fresh SD burned with a new image? You should not get a cyanogen logo if you are. You should just get a loading followed by the penguin and some text. If you do not have the newest image, I think you can get it on leapinlar's tip thread.
I've tried it with the new image and the old one. I'm passed the penguin, it ran the text and shut off. When I turn it back on I get the cyano universal boot, then it goes to a black screen for about 10 or15 seconds then it reboots and will do this over and over again if I don't shut it down.

Will it still boot to emmc when you select that with the boot menu?
Yes it does.

Ok, that means you are not in a recovery bootloop. And you do not need to repair any partitions on emmc. And given the fact that it boots to cyanoboot bootloader rather than the little penguin means the rom flashed successfully. The only thing I can think of is a corrupted download file for CM. Try re-downloading.
ok, now when i'm in the penguin stage with text, it reaches a point were is says it cant find initial install files. which i assume means it cant find the rom. in know your first thought is going to be that i didnt rename the rom update-, but i did. I am just adding update- to the beginning of the file name right? I'm not supposed to take away the cm- all together am i? it reads update-cm-9.

Why are you expanding the boot partition so large? And how are you doing it? And you are doing it before you boot the first time, right? You may be confusing the verygreen script that partitions the rest of the SD. It may be that the other partitions are not created right. Then when you flash, the rom is not installed correctly.

Are you expanding the boot partition prior to doing anything else?
It is important that if in windows... when you expand boot partition... do it before any other partition are on it... modifying ext partitions in windows will cause major issues... including moving them.
Also... how long are you waiting... initial boot after running the setup will have a black sceen for several minutes.
I'm expanding to1g because someone told me to do so. I'm expanding after restore to virtual hard drive, but before puting on cm9 file. Could it be because in expanding it to much? I'm using easy partition manger. I don't see a way to expand the partition before restore to virtual hard drive. In response to dizzyden, (like I said in my first post), after the cyanoboot screen it goes to the black screen for about 15 seconds or so then reboots and will continue to do so over and over until I hard power it. I'm aware that I'm coming off as an idiot but up until 6 months ago I'd never ever sat down at a computer. So thankyou for your patience

You should expand immediately after burning to the card. And 300Mb should be plenty for whatever you want to do. Anything more is just wasting your SD space. It is possible that having it so large did mess it up, but I don't know why it would. Just to be safe, I would boot without the zip on it and come back later after the first boot and it has partitioned the SD and put it on.

No problem urkle... Personally, I'd install CM7 on the SD and if/when it boots correctly... update it to CM9
Leap... I've only seen the size issue when boot partition is 2GB or larger... and don't ask me why I tried that LOL
OK, so I should burn the installer image, then expand the partition, then boot, then go back and put the cm9 zip on?

Hmm, and it does do boot to emmc with the cyanogenmod boot menu? I suspect partition 2 issues on emmc, but it would not boot to emmc if that was messed up.
Edit: Why are you expanding the boot partition at all. To make CM9 fit? If that is the only reason, go get my version that has already been expanded. Your PC may be doing something to the card. You can get my version by visiting my tips thread linked in my signature.

Im hoping someone can help me with my nook. I tried to flash froyo, made a wrong turn and now it wont boot. I rooted it just fine but before flashing froyo I wiped the system and it just went downhill from there. My guess is its not unfixable because I can boot clockworkmod from sd card but I can't seem to get the froyo rom on that same card. I flashed the sd card with clockwork but when I go to copy the froyo zip my pc says there isn't enough space. Its an 8 gig card formatted on windows fat32 default. The pc recognizes the card as 7.4 gigs after format. So it seems once I can get clockwork and froyo on the same card I should be able to flash. Anyone have any ideas as to what im doing wrong. I can provide more info once im back home and would really appreciate any help or direction. I did root my eris just fine and I look back and realize I shouldn't have wiped the nook before flashing froyo.
Sent from my nonsensikal froyo using XDA App
L o l relax bro you are not bricked... the reason you can't copy froyo is because the SD is partitioned when you write the image...
Do this.
Copy clockwork mod 3.0.1.0 update zip on the bootable cwm SD after you image it. The zip should be small enough to fit on the SD if not then have 2 SD cards on hand. Once you boot into the SD flash the recovery 3.0.1.0 zip you copied.
Then remove SD and reboot recovery to make sure it flashed cwm properly.
At this point reformat your SD card and copy the froyo zip onto it. Insert SD card into the nook.
On cwm go to mount and format data, system, and cache. After you have done this then proceed to flash the nookie froyo
You should be ok. Good luck and give thanks if this helps you.

I was able to boot into CWM and flash the ClockWork Zip file then I removed the SD card and selected reboot system. It just ends up turning off and the power button wont turn it back on. Ive done this 3 times and the same happens. Should I be concerned with the CWM version numbers. The boot image is version 3.0.0.5.
Im clearly in over my head. I should have researched more before starting this project. LOL Im so confused Im second guessing everything now. Should I be using WIN32DiskImager or WinImage when making the Boot recovery disc. Maybe the Image I burn should be version 3.0.1.0 instead of 3.0.0.5. Maybe I need to just go back to factory and start over.

If you fixed your issue maybe sharing how with other newbies would be of benefit.
I'm assuming you just burned a 3.0.1.0 CWR image, copied the CM7 zip to that, booted into CWR, wiped your boot, system, data, cache partitions, and installed the zip?
Your right Im sorry. Basically this is the gist of it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200

It is kind folks like you that make all of this such a great success.
I'm headed out to purchase my Nook Color shortly and it's nice to know that there is an awesome community here to help. I don't actually suspect any problems, as I've been reading and learning for a couple weeks now. Plus, I've hacked my OG Droid to death, so I have some experience.
Anyway, thanks for your willingness to help. It's refreshing to see.
Glad you are back up and running. I've come to the conclusion that if I have bricked mine yet. Then this thing is unbrickable. I've messed up many a times.
You are rigth,
With a microSD card in good condition: CWM + kernel images you can always go on.
I have read everything I can find and I am still confused. I built a bootable CWM card for the HD+ using the root and extras thread and that works fine. I downloaded cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip and using the aforementioned card wrote the new boot loader and it says it was successful yet I can't boot into recovery. Am I using the right file is there something else that needs to be done?

It is true, you just have to know which keys. Hold power and the n key together for a few seconds when it first starts booting. Release before it turns itself off and it should boot to recovery. If the flash took, it boots to CWM. If it did not take, it boots to stock recovery and asks if you want to clear data.

Hey guys,
So I've had my nook HD+ for a few months and have been running various roms on it for a while. Most recently I've had the latest Slimbean rom on it for about a week, Yesterday I went to use it after it had been charging all night and found it to be off. When I turn it on, it will just sit at the initial nook screen or get to the cyanoboot splash screen and just sit. I cannot boot into EMMC TWRP as it does the same thing. When I try to boot TWRP from an SD card it will get to the TWRP splash screen and just sit there without actually getting into the recovery, and if I try to boot a CWM SD card it will just sit at the cyanoboot splash screen. Is there something I can do to fix it or is my device bricked? And if it is bricked is there any way I could go about getting it replaced with the warranty as it currently and obviously has a custom rom on it.
Thanks for any help you can give me guys.

Did you try to boot to your internal TWRP but holding the n key and power key together from a power off situation? Be sure to release the power key after a few seconds so that it does not power itself back off.

I had one that I had used previously that I had written over and used for other things, I remade the bootable SD on that one and it didn't work. I also tried making 2 other bootable SDs following both methods (new and old) of the guide in this thread. My HD+ has never had a problem booting from bootable SDs before this happened, aside from taking a few reboots to actually get it to boot which I have read is common.

Since you have a custom ROM and a custom recovery on internal, it is hard to tell if the SDs are booting or not. Both cases look the same on the screen. I would bet they are not booting and it is always trying to boot to internal.

Well I can tell that the bootable TWRP SD card is at least trying to boot, as by just turning on the nook with that card in and not pressing the n button or anything will get it to the TWRP splash screen before it gets to the actual usable recovery screen. If i try to boot into the internal TWRP via n+power, it will either sit at the nook screen or the cyanoboot screen. I don't know if the CWM SD card that I tried was not working at all or just locking up on its own SD cyanoboot screen. Does that help at all?

I don't use TWRP so I don't know much about it. But both TWRP and CWM expect a working /cache partition on emmc. So that may be the issue. But unfortunately since you replaced stock recovery with TWRP, it cannot repair itself with the 8 failed boot procedure. You have to get an SD to boot to fix anything.

Yes the issue is that CWM is for installing CM to SD. That one will not find /sdcard because it is emulated and only is available after the ROM is installed.
You need to get a CWM working that is meant for installing things to emmc.
And those can't find /cache messages are worrisome.

I think your emmc is borked, not allowing those SDs made for emmc installs to boot. Those /cache errors are telling. And since you have other than stock on there and it partially boots showing that, I think you are stuck.
I think your only recourse is to put the no-emmc version on SD and run it that way. Go to the verygreen thread just before the last one I pointed to and try getting a ROM to run on it. I know nothing about that so if you have trouble, ask in that thread.

I do have the faulty chip, although its the rev6 version. I have tried my best to avoid running any trim enabled kernels. I don't know if Slimbean has trim enabled, I asked a couple times in the thread and never got a response, so I figured I'd try it and with the number of people using it I figured that it was disabled since I hadn't seen anyone having any trouble with it.

What you are seeing is the nook trying to repair itself with stock recovery (it is going into recovery, stock recovery). It is apparently not successful in completing the repair.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset with CWM. You will be back to pure stock.

So if I am reading item 1a correctly to make the cwm sdcard, us the Mini-Tool Partition Wizard and set the only partition there to active. And then copy the NookHDplus-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock zip to the sd card. And then boot up the Nook and install zip from sd card? And thats it? I should be back to stock??
Thank you so so so much!! You were so right I am back on stock and now my wife wont make me sleep on the couch anymore. I cant thank you enough. Thanks for being so patient with such a noob like me. From now on I'll check with you guys before I do anything to any of my android devices. Youre the best leapinlar !!!! Thank you so much!!!
