[Q] Rebooting issue (Nook HD+, CM10 build from 1/19 from verygreen)

Hey all,
I got a Nook HD+ a few days ago and started doing some of the things listed here on the forums. One of the issues that myself and others have in the Android Development forum (which, because I am a new user, I cannot post to) is that the ROM will randomly reboot. The file /proc/last_kmsg was requested, so I'm posting it here in the hopes that it helps track down the issue (attached).
The best I can tell from that is that it seems to be freaking out about an I/O error and then losing track of the filesystem.
The SD card I'm using is the SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 card.
Let me know if I need to add any other information.

Thanks for the report.
Unfortunately this is kind of a known problem, which is Sandisk class 10 cards (U1 really I think?) do not work stably, I have one myself that's like this. (actually they are hit and miss, works great for some, does not work for others including myself).
Class4 is what bullet proof.
I get these io errors on my U1 sandisk card even in stock, seems to be something hw-related.

Apparently I got the same issue. However mine occurs usually after device wake up. It reboots to stock.
Got 64gb Sandisk class 10 ultra, cm10 build 20130108.
Checked kmsg file did not find any io errors..

Hello verygreen, I have a sandisk micro-sd same as yours (IIRC) and what I did was to replace it with another. The newer sandisk u1 that I got doesn't throw any I/O errors but still occassionally reboots with all your kernels except than with the 12/31 one (even though I haven't checked it as extensively as the others).
So what's with that? Do you think the instability isssues we're encountering are at least partly due to the kernel?

Thanks for responding. I'll look into getting a different SD card. I mainly got this one because it was on sale at Best-Buy and with the ~30 minutes of research (I really, really wanted to do some toying with my Nook that night), seemed to be the best one.
I'll also take a look at the "working SD card" thread and respond if I have any extra info.

Hi, I might have found a reason why HD+ reboots when using CM10.
The reason is WiFi (or its driver),
when WiFi goes to sleep it sometimes cannot reactivate the driver, well Android tries to load this driver, but fails for some reason and this results in kernel panic.
So workaroud for it is to disable WiFi sleep in Wifi advanced settings (make it always on or something), and turn off manually if needed.
However after the tablet wakes up there is a chance it still fails to load a driver and fail miserably when you try to activate WiFi manually.
But until wifi is off, it will not reboot.
I am using:
-0108 build of CM10
-sd boot image ver 3
-SanDisk 64gb class-10 (UHS1)
This has nothing to do with sd card though, cause people with Class 4 getting reboots as well.
I think removing Wifi driver from CM10 kernel and re-building it from the stable source should fix this problem. Sorry don't have kmsg logs, will attach later.
p.s cannot post to dev, so posting here.
Thanks!

SD Card Install Setup
I'm trying to get CM10 on my Nook HD+. I downloaded and installed the img file (#3) fine and put in in the Nook and CWM came up and followed the instruction for the install. 16 gig Sandisk class 4. It created the 4 partitions. I then poped out the card and put it in my Windows machine. The boot partition came up with 100+ meg and couldn't see the other partition unless I used the Partition software. In the notes it says to copy the cm*.zip into the SD10CARD partition..I CAN'T SEE IT IN WINDOWS? I tried to install Andriod tool kit (adb) with no luck.. Says it can't find the Android devices.... Would this work any better with Apple or Ubunto. Ideas?

Yup, a Windows limitation. You can use mini-tools partition app for windows to see them, or better yet, Ubuntu, which will identify all partitions and allow you to transfer zips to the CM10SDCARD partition.

I actually just registered to make this same observation. I'll keep tracking on my own nook, but wanted to add my experience as well. Nook HD+' sandisk ultra 16gb uhs1. Used cwm early 3 and 12/31/12 build. Takes three or four reboots to get back in after crash.
Thanks!
Replied to wrong post... was supposed to be the post about the WiFi... sorry for confusion...

No no no. For copying CM10 zip to SD you must do it over adb and your nook connected to PC (win, mac, linux). I seen that many guides here lacks this info and this confuse users. Basically you do it this way:
Make SD card for CWM
Boot up you nook to cwm
On cwm mount SD card
Attach with usb cable nook to pc
Copy CM10 zip to sd (look to command example). You can copy additional zips on this step too (GAPPS or other needed stuff) After copy you can remove cable
Reboot command on CWM
You Boot to fresh CWM

Loaded clockwork. Can't load the cards with the builds

It took me a while to figure it out, but so far what I've done is I've loaded clockwork using the image writer onto a micro sd card.
Load it up on the nook. When it hits menu, I took the card out, reformatted it, loaded on the distro for CM10.
Problem is, when I put the card back in and tried to mount it, no mount.
I next tried keeping the distro on the nook's internal flash memory.
But again, can't mount it.
If I try to move the distro to the card with the image written, it says no space.

You are not saying which device, except you say CM10, which probably means HD+. If you have an HD+, got to my HD+ SD install guide linked in my signature. It has an image that makes it easier since you can mount with internal memory. Or you can use the Hybrid install which makes it run a bit faster.

If you are using verygreen's image, it cannot mount emmc. He has disabled it. Use mine from the thread I mentioned earlier, it has been modified to allow that. And you don't need to mount it with mine anyway, just choose "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory".

OKay, did the 4gb clockwork installer. It does allow me to flash, but I'd really prefer to only flash a card and leave the device vanilla if I remove a card.

There is no 4GB image in that thread, only My CWM thread has one, and that is for stock, not CM10. If you go to the correct thread, it will all be clear. I made that thread just for people like you that were having problems installing CM10 and confused.
But if you don't want to go there, don't. I just was looking back at the threads and you asked twice in two different threads and I gave you the same answer in both threads. Some people are just beyond help.

There is no option in the thread to make a pure bootable sd drive with no alterations to emmc memory. I've read it a few times. So your guide is misleading.

Nook HD+: bootable SD after 2.1.1?

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?

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.

[Q] Cannot downgrade to 10 from 10.2

I have tried like 3 times and every time nothing happens. I put the gapps and a file named "cm-10-20130511-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard" onto and sd card. Reboot it into recovery, delete system files, install those two etc, and it always is still cyanogen 10.2 every single time. I want cyanogenmod 10 so that I will be able to play with wii remotes and bluetooth and stuff and yeah. That was one of the main reasons I wanted my nook. If there are any other ways to do that, that would be great as well. And then two more things, when I reinstall and delete system files, all the stuff ont he internal memory are still there and I don't know if it is supposed to be like that? And then another problem with my nook is that sometimes when I try to unlock it the screen just blinks and won't open no matter what and I just have to reboot. And lastly, when I am charging the nook it always jsut keeps blinking no matter what I try. If you could respond asap that would be great, I kinda need it for school and don't feel like installing everything if it won't be permanent. Thanks a lot!
TLDR; I have a lot of issues with my nook!

Yes, you have a lot of questions in that post. First, explain a little better what you are running. That CM10 zip is for an SD install and I am betting you are running CM10.2 on internal memory.
And wiping with CWM usually does not delete media files from internal memory.
And the unlock screen problem is probably the magnet in you cover. Open the cover twice to get around it.
Don't know the problem about charging/blinking.

All I remember is that what I installed the cm 10.2 with is 2 zip files from an sd card, and did the same as I did when I tried 10. However, when I did 10.1 (What i weas running before all of this) I installed through a bootable sd card with zip files. And how do I get rid of stuff on internal? Do i need to? Thanks for all the other answers too. And is the file name I even sent you cm 10? Just want to make sure so I am not being stupid. Also the stuff on my sd card is still all the same I just used a different external sd card for the install. (Which I would rather do if possible)

You probably installed CM10.1 and CM10.2 to internal memory. That is why that one marked sdcard will not work. I don't think there are any CM10 zips that will work on internal memory. They are all for SD. (You can tell because the say 'sdcard' in the name.) Why is it you think you need CM10? If you want it you must install it on SD. There is a thread for it in the dev section. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35087686
If you want to wipe the media files off of internal with CWM, go to mounts and storage and choose 'format data and datamedia'. That will clear the media files. But you do not need to do that unless you are worried others will see it. It makes no difference to installing things.

Ok, is the emmc one the one that I can install on the internal memory? And i dont get it because it says to use the same install method for the one that I did and you say that that install message is wrong. And then, can I still have stuff on my sd card while it has the install on it or does it have to just be for the install. And then for gapps and cwm do I have to install those again? sorry for my stupidity

Yes both the SD install and the emmc install use a bootable CWM SD to install them. But the CWM SDs are different. The CWM menu is the same, but one is coded to install the ROM on internal memory (emmc) and one is coded to put the ROM on the same SD that the CWM is on.
For a long time only SD installs were available, then the developer figured out how to install to emmc. Now almost all ROM zips are for emmc.
You did not answer my question about why you think you need CM10. You said something earlier about wii. I don't think CM10 on the HD supported wii.
You are just too confused to be helped. I suggest you read a lot more.

Sorry I wrote this whole thing to you and then accidently deleted it, the only reason I actually need it is for wii remotes to work via bluetooth. The newer cyanogenmods and android builds broke it so it supposedly only works in cyanogenmod 10
And then in response to the last one, all i need to do is install the emmc? Do i need the newer gapps or cwm? And i just do it the same way as i did before?

If you want CM10 you must install to SD, not emmc.
But your wii information for CM10 is for other devices? Do you know if wii ever worked on the HD+ with CM10?

You are in luck. I found an emmc version of CM10 dated 5/11. Get it here.

thanks

Wow. Litterally almost nothing works in the cyanogenmod 10. haha. Thanks for your help anyway though man.

Help. I've tried to swap internal and external SD's to no avail.

I recently acquired a nook HD, and I immediately went on to install CM 10.1.
Things were fine and dandy until I loaded up about a quarter of my e-book collection (roughly 3gb's) on to my Nook.
I had placed them into the external 32gb SD I had, and when I checked the storage stats, Aldiko had imported them into the internal storage space.
Immediately after I searched up solutions, I found leapinlar's SD swap for CM 10.1/10.2.
I ran it but nothing happened.
I am currently running CM 10.1.3 RC-2
It is rooted.
My CWM version is stated to be "EMMC CWM-based recovery v. 6.0.3.2"
I've tried all of the SD swap zip files loaded onto all sorts of locations.
I have tried many permutations of installation ordering.
I've cleared data, repaired permissions countless times.
At this point, this today marks two weeks since I ventured into this endeavor.
And for the longest time, I have given in.
I made an account on this forum to ask this question; to shout a plea for help.
Prior to making an account, I scoured this forum looking for answers--I found very little in terms of helpful information.
Someone enlighten me on the exact steps and the details of how they got this swapping concept to work.
At this point, I am seriously contemplating on using this nook as a mirror.
Help Please.

Can you give me some details as to how it is acting? And what version of the swap zip are you flashing? What are you expecting it to do? Don't be flashing the other versions for stock, it will just be messing it up.

Right now, after I ran the "NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-official-CM10.1-CM10.2-emmc-rev6-(090413), none of my apps work. None. It still boots regularly though.
My SD card was formatted into NTFS32 using SDFormatter with the full overwrite and etc.
I am expecting the internal SD and external SD's to be switched in file manager/ or on the computer.

SD card must be formatted FAT32, Nothing else will work.

Delete all the files in /data/local/userinit.d and just flash my CM10.1 swap zip once and see what that does.

Does not matter. The zip is just placing that swap file in userinit.d and settings its permission correctly.

I flashed the zip. What happens next? I'm sorry for needing to be spoon fed
edit: I flashed the zip, and the storage stats are stuck at calculating.

Don't pay any attention to what settings, storage says, that is broken with this swap. Just see if it works. That is when you look at /sdcard do you see the external SD?
Edit: I guess I should say that in my instructions. Many get worried about that when it does not show right in settings.

Were they working before you flashed the zip? Try rebooting again.
Edit: I bet that hung settings calculation was hanging the apps too.
