I tried to install CM7 right out of the box and now I have read and tried every option to try to get my nook back to at least stock.
I'm coming from the Nexus S scene where a good fresh nandroid back up work like a charm.
I'm thinking it might not be so easy with my nook color, but I figured it's worth a shot.
If any one has a nandroid back up stock or a fresh CM7 install, I would love to give it a try because the only thing I can do with my nook is boot into Clockwork from an SD card!!!!!
Any help would be great, I have been reading an searching, maybe I'm just missing something.
What?
You're crazy.
Use and SD image of clockwork.
Download CM7, gapps, OC'd kernel to it
format system, data, cache.
Flash CM7, gapps, OC'd kernel.
Reboot.

You have a couple of options. You can flash the latest nightly from recovery using your sd card follow instructions for that.(must use 3.0.1.0). Remove the card before you reboot. Also, if you want clockwork internally, grab the 3.0.1.0 from the link below and flash it with your sd card, then the rom. If you are flashing something stock, you would need to use clockwork 3.0.0.5.

Thank you. Sorry for the delay but I'm sure the problem was I was following a guide that linked and old version of Clockwork.
It all worked perfect once I had 3.0.1.0

So, I just got a HD+ and I was ready to try out CM10.1 emmc.
I got all the required files and such ready.
I booted into CWM sdcard, and I forgot to take a backup, and I flashed TWRP recovery. I rebooted and now when I remove the sd card, it's stuck in a boot loop.
The nook logo comes up, the screen dims after a few seconds, and then it reboots, and repeats forever.
I tried flashing stock recovery from another thread this file : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41392480&postcount=4
Still nothing.
I backed everything else up AFTER flashing recovery. So if I can just fix this, I can take a proper backup and proceed with the CM10.1 install.
Thanks
First off, if you are interested in using the emmc recovery for making backups and restores, don't use TWRP. That feature is broken in that version.
If you want to go back to stock first so you can back it up, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and get my plain stock 2.1.0 from item 6 and flash that with your bootable CWM SD. That will put everything back to stock, including recovery.
Then just start over again with your bootable CWM card. Backup, then flash the CWM emmc recovery, the CM10.1 zip and gapps, wipe data and reboot.

Nevermind, I just tried something and it worked. (Complete accident btw didn't know what I was doing)
I long pressed hom button while it was booting, and the Adobe disclaimer from the bottom dissapeared a blue bar started loading under the Nook logo. It loaded twice and then it booted up
Any idea what just happened?

Oh, cool. Well it appears to have been factory reset, and it seems to have gone down to 2.0.0 or something (even though it came with 2.1.0 out of the box). Now it's running 2.0.6. It told me that 2.1.0 is available to update, and I started it. But it doesn't appear to be moving forward. Will come back on the status of that in a bit again.

Yes that is how it repairs itself. But it needs the stock recovery to do that. Once you put that back, it took over and proceeded to reset itself.
Just let it do its thing.

Okay, so I need to take a backup first, then flash CWM, CM10.1, and then GApps. That's it right?

Okay, btw. I took the backup, and I selected reboot, before I proceeded with the flashing.
It asked me if I should flash stock recovery and if I should enable root access (I selected no for both as selecting yes was the cause of the problem before)

Okay basically. I made two SD cards with CWM. One which I'll leave as a permanent backup card, and another with the other packages (it kept formatting to 856MB after I made it a bootable card no matter how big the actual card is, and so I couldnt fit both the backup and the CM10.1+Gapps zips on a single card)
I first made the backup on one card, and I hit reboot system, to swap it for the other one.
But when I pressed reboot, it asked me this:
ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes- Disable recovery flash
-No
-No
-No
I hit no.
Then it followed up with this:
Root access is missing. Root Device?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes - Root device (/system/xbin/su)
-No
-No
-No
I hit no for this too, since it didn't quite make sense.
So yeah. I'm pretty confused. Never ran into anything like that before on other devices.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 1a. There is a new procedure to make a bootable CWM SD on any size card. I suggest you use that. Then you have room for backups and zips. My card works equally well with verygreen's, but is bigger. You may have to use SDFormatter with size adjustment like I say in the thread to get your full size back from the verygreen SD.
Those CWM messages are harmless, just keep saying no. My cards give the first message, but I have never seen the second one before.

Thanks, I finished installing CM10.1.
But there seems to be a bit of lag. When I tried it with the SD card boot (not emmc), I assumed that it was slow because of the SD card. But it's the same even on this. Anyway to speed things up?

I'm in recovery bootloop hell!
I just received my Nook HD+ yesterday and immediately tried to root it using the Nook HD+ for dummies thread.
I used NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13) for my bootable SD card.
I added these files cm-10.1-20130630-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip
cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
(also used twrp on the first attempt but read about not being fully functional so I stopped using it)
I made a backup of the original ROM which I already registered with B&N.
Booted into CWM recovery and proceeded to wipe data/factory reset, flash cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip, cm-10.1-20130630-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip, and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip in that order. Eject sd card and reboot.
Now all I get is four reboots and it goes back to CMW recovery everytime. I can restore back to stock (thankfully) if I want to but I really want to get this working. You think my partition 2 is damaged and needs repair?
Any help will be deeply appreciated!

No, the partition 2 repair thing is for the Nook Color. I recommend redownloading the CM10.1 zip and try flashing again.

Thanks for putting up this file. Great use in future if something gets bonked.
I installed CM 10.1 with the dual boot stock and it's working great. Thanks guys! Unfortunately I'm going to sell it in so I can get one of the new Nexus 7 but I want to sell it stock. Do I need to reflash stock or since it's already on there can I pull the sd and do a factory reset and will that restore it to a stock state?

If you ran the hybrid CM10.1 version, you need to do more than factory reset with CWM. You need to go to mounts and storage and select format data and datamedia. That will wipe out the hybrid information and any personal media files you have stored on internal memory. Then everything is back to unregistered stock with no hybrid info or media files.
But if you use the stock recovery to reset, everything gets wiped and you are ok.

For those of us that are thick, could someone step us through the factory restore process?
Did the Android upgrade for my wife but she does not like it. She wants to revert back to Nook HD+ stock firmware!

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 6. Download plain stock 2.1.0 and flash it with the same CWM that you flashed CM10.1 with. Then do a factory reset with the same CWM. That should take you completely back to unregistered stock.

When you refer to CWM, do you mean the initial bootable CWM on the sd card or the CWM subsequently installed on the unit?
Can we load the stock firmware zip onto a blank sd card, reboot to the installed cwm recovery, wipe cache and do a factory reset, then use the 'install zip from sd card" option to flash the stock firmware?
After flashing the stock firmware zip, will it be completely stock (i.e. recovery, kernel, rom)? Thanks.

Either CWM is ok.
Yes to your second paragraph, but you do not need to wipe cache since the factory reset does that too.
And yes, if you flash that plain stock 2.1.0 and factory reset, it is completely stock. Your media files on internal memory remain though. If you want them gone too you must go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia' before you reboot.

Hi guys,
I have bought the Nook HD+ and I tried to install CM 10.1 to the Nook by following this one
1. restore the CWM img to the micro SD ( my own is 16Gb one )
2. I did not make a backup in CWM ( the guide didn't say so and Im just a newbie of Android ). After that, I did install CM 10.1 ( downloaded from homepage) zip file, also Goo Apps as well.
Kind of simple one. Now my nook jsut boot in CM 10.1 with the logo and staying at this stage ( without micro SD card). In case I keep the micro SD card inside the Nook, it just continue booting into CWM. I did not do any format option in CWM. Did I make any mistake? What can I do now?
You must do a factory reset with CWM after installing CM10.1. You need to get rid of those stock settings.
