Hello all.
I have an issue.
I recently installed cm10 on the nook color. Recently IN cm10, it stopped reading the sd card....but i could boot to cwm from the sd card....BUT while in cwm it wouldnt read the sd card >.>
So. I made it think the internal memory was the sd card, installed rom manager, and got it to "flash" cwm into internal memory...although everytime i try to reboot into recovery, it reboots and then "install failed" pops up. (Sd card removed)...it doesnt seem like it flashed anything at all.
I honestly just want the default nook color back >.<
Help?

That message is from the stock recovery on emmc. So that means Rom Manager did not install anything. If you just want stock back on emmc, go to my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A10 to make a bootable CWM SD and item A15 to get a stock 1.4.3 rom to flash with it. You will be back to pure stock.

You may need to reburn the cwm SD. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A10.
Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD
I have three Nook HD+. I've been able to boot all of them to CWM using leapinlar's guide to achieve root and allow unknown scorces. I've also been able to make a Hybrid SD boot card on one of them using win32diskimger and the guide on the Hybrid installation.
I'd like to make another of them a Hybrid install, but I cannot get it to boot from the SD card after installing the image. It will boot every time with the 8gig card I made to install root and the other stock extras, but I can't get it to boot to the SD card with the Hybrid image.
I have tried Quickboot and booting it while holding down every button with no success.
I have tried 4 different SD cards with the image burned and none have worked. Is there anything else I can do? I am beyond frustrated at this point because it was so easy when I did this to the first hybrid I made. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Have you tried booting the hybrid SD that works on the one device to see if it tries to boot on the others?

Yes I've tried that and it will boot the Nook I'm trying to get modded into the boot menu, CWM, or stock. It seems as though the issue isn't the Nook, but it's that I'm somehow not burning the image file to the SD correctly. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong though.
I've tried both WinImg 0.8 and 0.6 running as an admin and the card seems to be taking the image correctly. I get a 120mb card with u-boot.bin, ramdisk.cwm, kernel, MLO, uImage, ramdisk.hybrid, and ramdisk.stock on it. It just doesn't boot in the Nook. I've tried it in all three and it won't boot them. I'm really at a loss as to what to try next, because it seems like I should be good at this point.
Also if I just take the SD with the image burned and overwrite the files with your "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13)" Rar files, the Nook will boot into stock CWM with no problem, so the SD cards I'm using are bootable at least. I just don't know how to go from here to making the hybrid card.
I wish I knew what I did differently the first time, but I don't know what it could be.

Copy the boot files from the hybrid SD that is working to the SD's that are not working and try booting then. You know, like you did with the files from the 6028 stock SD.

Got it to work. I redownloaded the img zip file and wrote it and now it's fine. I have no idea how it got corrupt sitting on my PC in between making SD cards. Thanks so much for your help Leapinlar!
I have a new Nook HD+ on the way, I plan to register it and then install CM 10.1, but I'm concerned I saw in another thread that someone wasn't able to boot off an SD and the update automatically installed. Can anyone confirm they were able to still boot of an SD card after installing 2.1.1?
I was able to boot off a Transcend Class 10 SD card after installing the 2.1.1 update.
Some HD/HD+ units reportedly have difficulty booting off SD card, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688. The problem has nothing do with the stock ROM, new or old.
Ok, thanks. Should have it today and will go ahead as planned. Just concerned me it was a brand new update and I'd only seen the negative response, but it sounds like it should be good.

My HD+ would not boot with a 4gb card or a 2gb card, I tried it at least 10 times apiece, however I did get it to boot with a SanDisk TransFlash 256 MB with just the boot image files and CWM.
It boots to the 256MB card first try everytime. So as soon as CWM loads I swapped the 256 for the 2gb and did a stock backup, rooted and installed CM.

It can be hard to get the SD to boot sometimes. In particular try the one where you hold the SD in.

Thanks man followed your post on 1a and i was able to boot into recovery.....................................at first try it didn't boot into cwm instead it boot into nook home screen..................then i turned off my nook and turned it on quickly (without taking sd card out) then it booted straight into cwm.................i think the problem is that nook takes long time to read sd card for the first time.................when turned on it keeps on saying Checking SD Card For Errors for quite a while on the status bar.......
but i forgot to copy universal root onto my sd card..............so can i root my nook later after installing cyanogenmod?
thanks

I am tempted to dispute this. I had a brand-new HD+ with stock firmware v2.0.4 which consistently (and always at first attempt) booted from sd card (Kingston 4GB, cl 4).
After upgrading to stock firmware v2.1.1, but with no other changes, it wouldn't boot once in 50+ attempts. The sd card was unchanged, the HD+ hardware was the same, so this behaviour would seem to point to the firmware change as the culprit, doesn't it?

It does, but booting is controlled by the hardware chip firmware. There is no way for b&n to change that remotely.
A way to test your theory is to do an 8 failed boot with stock recovery installed and go back to 2.0.4. Then see if your booting trouble goes away.
Edit: If that is really the case, the solution is to revert to 2.0.4 and immediately upgrade to CM. Then it should boot SDs ok.

My HD+, which originally came with 2.0.4 and got immediately auto-updated to 2.1.0 and then later to 2.1.1, (luckily) has not had any problem booting off SD.
The boot-device selection process is controlled by the hardware configuration and bootstrap code in ROM (this is the device's real ROM, as opposed to the Android OS software that is commonly but incorrectly referred to as "ROM"); see http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project for an overview of the boot process, and more gory details can be found in http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swpu270s/swpu270s.pdf.
Have you re-checked "bootability" of the boot partition of your SD card, or tried a freshly burned SD boot image? I have had a few instances of Recovery or ROM SD cards rendered un-bootable after the stock ROM created files/folders on them.

As I wrote in my first post, the sd card (which booted properly with v2.0.4) was unchanged. I deleted all stuff the HD+ had put on it (a bunch of empty directories, if I recall correctly) and it had only the 5 CWM boot files and 2 zips I wanted to install. To the best of my knowledge the sd card was unchanged.
Never mind, it's probably one of those things...

As he said earlier though, the fact that 2.1.1 wrote to it at all may have done something to the SD.

Here is my problem description:-
I was using CM10.1.3 emmc with CWM latest version as suggested in the respective thread. I have installed a SD formatter app from Google Play and tried to format my 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card inside the device. After that, the sd card was non writable. So I tried to restart the device, but alas, it got stuck in the 1st Black screen with the big Nook. Not even able to boot into CWM. Even the CyanogenMod logo didn't come.
I have a bootable CWM (6.0.28) recovery MicroSD card (8GB Class 4) and used it to boot into recovery, cleared Cache/ Factory reset, Dalvik Cache and then again flashed Carbon unofficial 4.3 JB rom and Gapps for JB 4.3. But it still getting stuck in the 1st Nook screen.
After reading a lots of thread here, it looks like that during the format of SD card, it somehow destroyed the proper partitions of the emmc. But unlike others mentioned in different Bricked Nook HD thread, I am able to access each components of emmc when booted from CWM Bootable card, able to mount internal storage etc.
So, is there a solution to restore the emmc partitioning properly? I tried to connect it to PC for connecting it through adb but didn't have the proper usb driver for it. The driver I got, needs the hardware id of the product to modify the inf file which sadly I can't access in the device.
I also tried to restore it to stock 2.2 rom from the CWM backup created earlier before installing CM10.1.3. It got restored but didn't solve the problem, it still getting stuck into Black screen with Nook written to it, the one comes before CM logo.
Please help.

You are using some strange and outdated tools. That AParted probably really messed up you internal memory.
That guide is an old one for putting CM10 on an SD install. And you do not install the SD version of CM10.2 with that 6027 bootable CWM SD. Pick a newer guide and start again.

But during restart, it is showing the message that /Bootdata/BCB missing and probably that is the reason, it is always rebooting into recovery mode. I have checked in one thread where you have made a flashable Zip file to restore the system partitions. Can it be done for my case?

Will that fix the emmc partitions in HD+? Initially I have installed CM10.1.3 by using this method and after the issue occurred, I tried to install the Carbon 4.3 ROM through CWM recovery after performing FActory reset, cache cleaning and Dalvik Cache cleanup. But that didn't solve the issue. I have even tried to restore the stock Nook 2.2 firmware from the CWM recovery which I created earlier before installing the CM10.3. But the issue didn't get resolved.

I have tried the following steps:-
Downloaded the TWRP emmc 2.6 Bootfiles, copied them to a 64GB Class 10 sd card by formatting it to FAT32, setting it to active and then copied the Files (MLO file 1st) into it.
Also copied Nook stock 2.2 zip in the sd card.
With the card installed, Nook HD+ booted into TWRP recovery.
Performed a factory reset and wipe data.
Installed the stock rom.
After that, I checked the Bootfile partition and it was having the BCB file.
I am also able to access 27GB Emmc and copied all the zip files to Internal store using TWRP file manager.
Now I took out the SD card and tried to boot the Tab but it was again stuck into 1st Boot screen with Nook logo.
When I inserted the card 2nd time and checked the Boot Data partition using the TWRP's integrated file manager, there was nothing inside of the /BootData folder.
Is there a way to build the /Bootfiles/BCB for Nook HD plus?

it will do no good to build that file since you already had it and the boot to emmc wiped it out. TWRP puts it back when it exits, but your normal boot seems to remove it.

Please suggest me a solution for it. I read here that there is a special type of SD installation possible with no access to the emmc and the OS will threat the SD card like it treats the emmc. Could you link me to a proper guide to do that?
Also, in my case, what might be the main problem of deletion of the Bootdata partition during emmc boot? Is there any possible solution for it?
Also, if possible, provide me the Zip file for the fix, just wanted to try it out as nothing is working till now.
Anybody? please let me know how to fix the emmc partitions. I still has hope as I am completely able to access my EMMC via SD card boot.While using TWRP recovery, I can even copy files from my SD card to internal memory of the device. Also able to flash Roms too.
So please provide me a flashable Zip file which can reconstruct the EMMC file structure for proper boot.

I'm also in need of the same thing. I believe SD card manager or some such program fubared my partitions so now my Nook HD+ just hangs at the nook logo when booting from EMMC. I can boot off SD just fine though.

I was also in a similar situation in that I was stuck at the nook screen and not able to go beyond. I thought it was due to a discharged battery and leaving the Nook in my car in -20 F weather. However, I was not able to enter recovery. I found a thread by Verygreen detailing an SD card only installation for bad emmc units. I dd'd the image to the sd card and booted to cwm on the card. Then shut down, pulled the sd card and copied the rom to the card. Rebooted and the install went through correctly. I now have a working Nook HD+ although I don't have emmc access. But at least it works now. I found the thread in one of the other "Stuck on Nook screen" threads. Hope this helps you.
I want to install CM11 onto my external SDcard, not touching the B&N stock OS or rooting it in any way , so as not to void the warranty. #1 is this possible?

I downloaded Succulent's "cm_ovation_11.0_02JUL2014_HD_SDC" file, unzipped it and copied the 6 files from it (MLO first)
Booted the HD+ but it didn't boot to sd,-- only did the normal Nook boot and hung at 99% loading the nook OS.
I then saw something about needing to install CWM Recovery first and boot that, so I located a download for CWM, but found it contains the same files as Succulent's "cm_ovation......" file (MLO, etc.). So if I were to extract that to the BOOT partition, I'd overwrite what I extracted from his zip.
So I'm missing some pieces to the trick....

Thank you, but I had customized my partitions, and was hoping to stay with them, versus overwriting them with an image someone made that has pre-picked partitions. That is, unless somehow I can resize the partitions he made (and at which point in the process?) On mine I had 4 partitions. the last one was just an NTFS one, 6GB, I was hoping to keep available for just general storage, not necessarily for KitKat's use.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49007593&postcount=84 for pointers on creating CM11 SDcard with customized partition sizing. You should be able to create and maintain a 4th partition (but you'd need to figure out how to mount the partition so as to make it accessible to Android and/or your PC OS).
cm11 boot to sd
Ok, I must be missing some simple step.
In that link Digimax sent me, I believe I followed all steps. I ended up with these files on the BOOT partition (as seen in windows):
The 6 files extracted from sdcard-ovation-cm11.0-v1.img
pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141121-signed
cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation
a folder called LOST.DIR (not sure what that's from)
I choose "Boot to CWM Recovery" and I first did a backup. Then I selected "Install ZIP" then "Choose zip from sdcard" & I see
/sdcard/
- 0/
- clockworkmod/
That's it. Nothing else. Selecting either one of these displays no zip files. What am I doing wrong? In that post, step 4 it mentions "pair" of zip files. I assume though the 2nd item in the "pair" is the Gapps zip. Cuz for HD+ all I see is one file: cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-bok-ovation. (it doesn't have "sgt7" in the name anymore.) I assume I don't need the one for the regular HD model.

It does not appear that you've made any mistake. It's possible that bokbokan's CWM recovery has changed since I wrote up that guide nearly a year ago (and shortly thereafter have gone onto flashing/running CM11 on emmc and thus would have missed any such change).
One possible solution you might consider trying is to download or copy the ROM and Gapps zip files to your HD+ user-media partition, then while in CWM recovery menu select "... zip files from emmc" and browse to where the ROM/Gapps zip files are located.

Yes, that's correct.
bok build install behaves super flaky for me

I got the sdcard to boot after many reboots and had to keep hard powering off (cutting it off) if the NOOK name displayed too long, (where I knew it was going to boot Nook OS) It booted to CWM, I did a backup, then installed the zips (had to put on internal memory as you said, but even this wasn't easy, It gave some weird error I don't recall,maybe about something "has stopped", so I ended up having to copy it from ES File Explorer after booting to Nook OS) Then I repeated the boot trick as mentioned, backed it up, then installed the 2 zips. I rebooted, got walkthrough of 1st time setup. This is where it got weird. Screens would advance on their own, be shifted halfway off the screen, had a long delay or else wouldn't respond to my clicks, would power off (and wouldn't power on until MANY presses of the power button) or reboot on it's own during the setup. I finally got thru setup and then after booting to Android, it would still be very sluggish, and still powering off on it's own and being difficult to turn on. And it continued to be unreliable to boot to Android, sometimes booting to Nook OS still (even though some in forums say once they got it to boot to Android it would forever after.)
Maybe I need to try a different build. Who else has a well-known, reliable? build besides Succulent? (even though with his it wouldn't boot to CWM but hang at 99% forever on Nook OS loading). If there's no others, maybe I'll give his another try since I had some luck getting CWM to boot with the above trick.

What brand and class of SD card are you using to run CM?

FWIW, every time that I have had the problem of stock ROM boot-up stuck at 99% it was always because the stock ROM got corrupted due to some unexpected errors in the creation/update of the SD-based CM ROM image, and the only way I was able to recover was to restore stock ROM from backup copy.
I have a PNY 16gb class4 (C16G china 1308PW3599P)
The problem of it hanging at 99% only happened with Succulents, not Bokbokans. As far as the Nook OS being corrupt , I have doubts of that since without the SDcard it ALWAYS boots fine to the nook OS.

The problem of stock booting to 99% and hanging with an SD inserted has to do with the properties of the SD, not corruption of stock. Stock will always hang if the SD has more than 3 partitions. Most of Bokbokan's SDs are set up to only have 3 just for that reason. I don't know how many the succulent SD has, I would bet more than 3.

Succulent's CM SD image for the HD+ only has 3 partitions.
I WAS creating a 4th partition & was unaware it was an issue so thanks. I was doing customized partition (not using their premade sd image). But my whole goal is booting to sdcard, not to nook os.....and the 99% Id assumed was after it failed to boot to sdcard & instead had gone on to boot nook os. But Just in case it helps me boot CM11 on sdcard, I'll try it with 3. Thanks for that tip.

FWIW, I took succulent's pre-made SD image for CM11 (https://goo.im/devs/succulent/ovation/cyanogenmod/image/cm_ovation_11.0_24DEC2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z), burned it to a (Sandisk class 4) 8GB SD card. The image has 3 partitions which succulent had sized to fit a 2GB SD card; I added a 4th partition (type: FAT32, name: /media) to fill the leftover space of my 8GB card (and reset the boot (1st) partition's type/flag to ensure that it's still bootable). The resulted CM11 card with the extra 4th partition booted up just fine on my HD+.
So, having an extra 4th partition (or, in general, more than 3 partitions) does not prevent a SD-based CM image for the HD+ from booting successfully -- just as one by virtue of logics would have expected.

No it does not prevent it from booting to the SD, but it does prevent stock from booting successfully if the SD is inserted in the slot. It will hang at 99%.

Verygreen's CM 11 SD build of 11/29/2014 for the HD+ works very well for me. First boot does take awhile so don't give up too fast.
