While I was DE-registering my NOOK HD+ I pull the SD card. It pop up a dialogue box saying something has crashed. I dismissed it and proceeded the process again. Now my NOOK stuck at the NOOK logo. When I put in a SD card with CWM it does not get pass cyanoboot logo. How have a CWM backup for my nook but since it can't load CWM I can't do any restore. Please help.

Try doing a 8 failed boot reset. Interrupt the boot without the SD in 8 times in a row. Just hold the power button for a few seconds after each boot try. It will format everything and install the factory rom. Then maybe you can boot the CWM SD and restore.

Dear Leapinlar,
Thank you very much for your advise. Have already done many power down and up etc. Just tried it again, see the Nook logo, press the power button until it disappear, press the button until it appear etc. Done more than 8, no luck. Is there some timing requirement? How does the home button come into play concerning some low level signal to which code? Tech support guy from BnN asked me to hold the two buttons for 30-40s, no luck there.
The fact that cyanoboot logo appear with the CWM does that mean code introduced by the SD card is gaining control but was stuck looking for something that was not there? Is there a version that can just boot up and let me do some restoring?

Without the SD in, the booting to n logo and powering off many times should kick in the reset. Maybe you are powering off when it is trying to reset. Let it go with booting for a few seconds before you power off, to make sure it is not in the reset mode.
EDIT: Wait till the n dims (or even a little longer) each time before you power off. That way you are sure it is not in the reset mode.

Try pressing N (or it could've been N + power button) without the SD card in, right after switching on the device. You should have a menu appear to hard reset the device.
EDIT: Actually, you might need to press N before turning on the device. I definitely seen this menu while playing around with the buttons.

I say you can try put CWM on diff card and try booting off diff card. At least that's one last thing you haven't try. Still, that's not gonna fix your stock nook, unless you made a backup.

I was a bit hasty posting that, but now that I can see that you can see 'cyanoboot' logo, it appear that it does boot from sd card, just not a successful one. So, at least it seem the bootloader partition on the nook isn't corrupt. So, I'm pretty sure trying a diff card should work. We have at least a few people confirming to have similar problem after running CM10.1 on the HD+.

Have you tried booting while the USB power plug in?
leapinlar: Ask the question on the forum. I don't like using PMs.
Recently the update allowing google play store somehow bypassed the anti-update thing on my nook, so now I can use play store on the nook home, but the update removed my root but kept the android system home.. It uses a lot of ram, which i'd rather have free to play games or other resource heavy apps on.
I know I have to get my nook to start unsuccessfully 8 times, but I don't know how I go about doing that, can I get some help?

If you want to do it the easy way, just interrupt the boot by turning it completely off (hold power button for a few seconds) while booting eight times in a row. It will take you back to some version of stock, usually 2.0.0 or 2.0.4 then upgrade again to 2.1.0 when you register again.

After my HD+ locked up when I created a "Guest" ("child") profile and I had to do the 8-reboot process, after upgrading to B&N v2.1.0, I experimented with alternate button combinations at power-on. If I held the "n" button when pressing "power", I got a prompt that allowed me to do a factory reset.
Whether that is part of a later B&N recovery module, I can't say.

That factory reset just wipes data, it does not reinstall the ROM. He probably needs to reinstall the ROM since some of the broken symlinks may still be in /system.
Power + n takes you to stock recovery, which, without other parameters being passed to it, asks if you want to factory reset.

I'd like to return my Nook HD+ to stock, too. It has a Cyanogen mod that precedes that startup, and I think that's getting in the way of the 'eight reset' mechanism for a total factory reset to stock software.
Is there a bootloader, system, and gapps zip that I could just flash from an external SD card that would do the job? Seems like there was, at one time, but it's getting very difficult to find them. Any ideas for a quick factory reset (not a wipe, but a complete reset to original OS?).

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from item 6 there and follow that with a factory reset by CWM.
And it was not the cyanoboot that prevents the 8 reset, it is because when you originally installed CM you also replaced the stock recovery on internal memory with CWM. Stock recovery is needed for the 8 reset to work.

Hi there,
I have a device that is also candidate for unrooting to stock. The thing is that I have tried both CWM and TWRP on bootable SD to try and fix the situation tith the apropriate zips but unfortunately none of them can mount sd ot any internal memory for me to reset.
Maybe I should also add that the device is charging without turning on except if there is a proper bootable sd inserted.
I presume a rescue bootable SD of OEM type could bring the device back to life.
I`ll apreciate any help.

When you say a candidate for stock, why? Is there something else wrong with it? I am just trying to see if it is bricked.

Maybe Bricked is the situation. The device is charging (the green light is present when plugged to the charger or USB ) but the power button can no longer start any visible boot process on the screen.
The story of the device is nearly the following:
I was using the device for a long time rooted with installed CM updating even with over night builds from time to time.
Once I had a problem booting properly after update but easily booted to TWRP and restored the previouse update.
A week ago the same situation occured, after an update procedure I left the device plugged to the wall charger and on the morning it was stuck on the CYANOGEN universal boot logo. No way found to boot to recovery found.
I figured the recovery has gone bad. Started to prepare bootable SD to try and fox the mess somehow, but could not do the corect procedure of preparing a good bootable SD many times. The only time I successfuly booted CWM recovery from SD I tried to install a zip with CWM recovery and as far as I remember at that time the bootable recovery was able to mount another SD wile it was booted on the device and the zip installed with success according to the software. Sadly after a restart the device was as is, stuck on the bootloader logo.
After 2-3 times successfuly booting both CWM and TWRP recoveries from prepared SD card, doing nothing at all that can alter the device, just tried to see how to mount any usable memory, the device stopped visualy booting without an SD.
Thank you for the reply, hope you can add some wisdome to the happy end

It sounds like it is bricked. If recovery said it installed successfully and it still will not boot normally, it is usually what that means. By bricking, I mean internal memory has become read only and nothing can successfully be written to it even if it said it was successful. Your probable only option is to use a noemmc version of SD CM. Search the dev forum for that term.

I have very stupidly gone into 'mounts and storage' in CWM and format bootdata, system, cache, data, emmc and sdcard (I had some problems with verygreen native install and thought I would clear the system and do a fresh install!).
Now when I try to boot my Nook I get the 'Install Failed' message. Rebooting makes no difference - I keep getting the same message. I've tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and then reinstall stock 2.1. I found this on a leapinlar thread and it looks like it installs but then shows a message in CWM 'random offset 0x37d'
After reboot it looks like its installing (nook hd with a little blue bar filling up from left to right) but then it goes back to 'Install Failed' screen.
Help? is it bricked?
Thanks in advance!
Take out the SD card and attempt to start it 8x in a row, hopefully the stock recovery will kick in.

Don't worry about that random offset message, it is normal.
Your issue is you formatted /bootdata. That is the partition that controls whether to boot to stock recovery or to boot normally. It is also what tells stock recovery whether to try to install the factory ROM. That is what it is trying to do with that install failed message.
You said you tried the 8 failed boot. Did you interrupt the boot 8 times by hard turning off as soon as the nook logo shows? If not, do that.

You do have the stock recovery installed. That is what is saying install failed to you. The issue is that your bootdata partition does not have the right info in it. So it keeps trying to boot to recovery.
Send me a private message with your serial number in it and I will make you a custom zip to try.

I see my zip worked for you, at least with CM10.1. There are a lot of secret keys that somehow got erased with your formatting, so stock will probably never work for you again. But fortunately CM10.1 is good.

Try getting into CWM by booting holding the power and n keys together for a few seconds, releasing the power button first followed by the n key. That should get you into the new CWM on internal memory. Then you can use that to factory reset to start CM11 fresh.
If that does not work, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and make a new bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 of that thread followed by a factory reset with CWM. That lets you start over like it came out of the box.

Try using a different SD card if you can.
From what I've read, a 4GB Class4 card is the best. My 16GB will boot less than 1 in 20 times, but my 4GB boots 9 out of 10 times. Also, make sure you have marked the microSD partition as Active using a partition tool.
Fwiw, I got a class 4 sandisk 8gb card. Total noob to android. Booted first time and every time since. Only trouble I had was with win32diskimager. Not only did it not work, it hosed my windows 7 install. I used a program called sdimager instead.

No, I never got to choosing anything. Ran it and nothing appeared to happen. No GUI came up. When I rebooted windows would not start. Had to do system repair.

I created a bootable SD card with emmc-cwm-early3.img using dd command (dd if=img file of=/dev/sdc bs=1MB). When inserted, Nook would power up and go to Cyanoboot screen and but it would hang there
I went through 3 different SD cards (all type 4) and they are all same
I One interesting thing - I found sdcard-cwm-early9.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572. When I create SD card from it, it actually boots up to CWM screen, and it lets me go through various backup/restore options. However, the image only creates about 120MB of free space in SD card and I cannot place any zip files in it.
The reason for bringing out the last point is that it does seem that my Nook HD+ would boot up from SD card, but not with emmc-cmw-early3.img.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I'm having a very similar problem to yours suite800, only I was running rooted stock when it happened. Same thing though, normal boot freezes at the first Nook screen.
I've tried a number of different bootable SD images on a few different cards and all of them freeze on a screen with only the cyanoboot logo visible, with the exception of sdcard-cwm-early9.img. That image gets me to a cyanoboot menu but I can't do anything from there, if I select "Boot CWM Recovery" it just hangs on the cyanoboot screen with a message "Loading recovery from SD..."
As the title of the thread says, my Nook HD+ only boots into CWM. I've done a wipe data/factory restore and installed Cyanogenmod. But when I reboot into system, the Nook HD+ just goes back to CWM.
Can anyone help me out here?
At this point, I just want to have a functioning tablet - even if that means restoring it to stock Nook HD+ firmware.
Is there ANY way to fix the problem I'm having?
Problem Solved!

So I decided to purchase an image from N2A and burn it to an SD card. I did, and when I rebooted my Nook HD+ it booted Cyanogenmod. I don't know what happened, but it seems that the N2A card I burned had something to do with it. (Noob)
