[Q] Nook Hd+ won't boot to recovery [Cyanogen 10.1] - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. As per instructed, I have search the threads, but haven't found anything like the problem I'm facing. Most can get to recovery or hand on the cyanogen loading. As such I am posting this query to see if anyone can help me.
I have been using Cyanogen 10.1 emmc on my new B&N HD+ tablet for about a week now, installed by following the guide found here. I made sure to make back up at every step; before flashing Cyrogen, and after. Anyways Yesterday, the tablet refuses to boot. I can press the power button, the Nook hd+ and connect it using usb, but the screen remains blank (black). It never gets to the nook screen or the cyanogen loading screen. I have tried to restore a backup, but no matter what I do, I can't get the nook to boot into recovery mode. I have tried 3 different boot sd, but none bring up the loader, not even the one that work when I first installed Cyanogen.
I have drained the battery completely and recharge it about 2 times now and I have held down the N + Power methods. I installed TWRP as a replacement over stock recovery mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Kind of out of my league, but search this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 for twrp. Reports of problems with backup/restore using twrp. Maybe try a bootable cwm card

Nook Color won't boot

My NC wont boot no matter what I do. When I connect it to my pc (windows xp) I get an RNDIS ethernet gadget in the new hardware notifications. The nook was rooted but I did a hard reboot before finishing the setup because it wouldn't connect to my google account. The NC wont even show the "touch the future of reading screen" and I cant get adb to find the device. I rooted when I had freshly wiped everything and downgraded to 1.0.0 then I upgraded to 1.0.1 then I rooted. It worked fine until after the hard reset.
HELP!!!!
FIX!
I'm sorry for the double post, but I want to make this clearly visible when someone else has this problem.
So, all you have to do to get it to boot is try to put the device into recovery mode. It won't actually go into recovery mode though, it will just boot into the regular os.
Clockwork Mod Recovery
I can't go into recovery. I have Clockworkmod installed.
bumpity bump,
Im back to this issue seems my fix up there wasn't right. I did a FULL wipe on the nook (/system, /data) and then proceeded to update and root. after rooting I rebooted the nook with the autonooter sd card still inserted and then the device wouldnt boot. I tried removing the sd card and still no luck. adb doesn't find it but it is detected as a "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget" under windows. Is there a way for me to boot the nook?\
EDIT:
got it to boot by mashing the power button and putting nookie froyo inside :/ im not sure why but thats probably how I got it last time too.

Folks,
I've done the same thing. I backed up with Clockwork to the SD. The Nook would only boot into Clockwork. So, I recovered and now the device will not power up at all. I fear that I have bricked a wonderful device that I spent alot of time on. It will not boot at all, will not respond to the power button at all and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I screwed?
FG.
I have the same problem with Motitas and it was updated to 1.1 recently. Please help.
the screen stops to nook icon only. does it mean i have a brick now ? PLEASE Help.
Please read my threa a few threads down from this one, titled "dummies guide to my nook wont boot." it explains everything.

Help I brick my Nook HD+ and CWM SD card no longer boot up

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?

How do I reset my nook hd+ back to before I rooted it?

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.

Thanks, that worked. I also tried the rooted version of stock, but it has a problem: "Unfortunately, Home has Stopped". Is there a workaround to this?

Don't use that version, I should remove it. If you want to root, do it per the thread with universal root rev 3.

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.

No, it is probably from running CM11. That has a history of bricking devices with the faulty emmc chip due to applying trim automatically.

[Q] Nook HD+ CM10.1 Boot Loop

Hello,
Earlier today i successfully installed CM10.1 on my new Nook HD+ tablet. After setting up CM10.1 and installing some basic apps i restarted the Nook and it is now stuck in a loop at the Cyanogenmod start up screen. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks guys!
I had this same issue. I made a titanium backup of everything, and then reinstalled cwm, cm 10.1, and emmc ovation. I used titanium to restore and now it resets just fine.

Same here...
I had the same issue. I went in and cleared the cache then reboot and it was fine. My issue now is it'll randomly reboot on its own and sit at the Cyanogen circle boot up but won't boot up. Anyone else?
I booted into recovery and wiped dalvik cache and the othe cache and it booted fin out of recovery but when i would attempt to reboot it normally it would still be stuck in a boot loop...I just factory reset it and it seems to be working fine now *fingers crossed*!
still no go...
I tried that too and it still reboot randomly. Thought that was fixed with latest version
I had the same problem. This is what I did. In the recovery menu I did a wipe / factory reset. Then installed CM and Google apps again. After that I did another wipe / factory reset. After that I rebooted. No more random reboots and no more boot loops. I hope this helps.
trouble restart
Just got a Nook HD+ on the 26. installed CM10.1. every time I turn off or restart the Nook, For the first 3 times, it would stuck at the fast spinning CM logo. I would have to long press the Power button to turn it off, then turn it back on. For the 4th time it would boot without any problem. same thing with boot into recovery, the first 3 times it would ignore my N+down press, only on the 4th attempt. Not sure why, but that's what I found out. I dont see any random reboot yet. Have not try to reinstall CM10.1. Will do that when I have more time. Anyone else with a newly bought Nook care to sound in?
Very similar problems for me, though I don't know if it's exactly every fourth time that it boots properly.
I did a factory reset, re-flashed everything, and it worked perfectly for a couple of days. Then yesterday, a random reboot, and it got stuck at the CM boot animation. It rebooted properly on the second or third try. I just rebooted it manually, and it worked fine again.
I really like this tablet, but I'm seriously thinking of returning it because of this problem. It seems like it could become completely unusable if it gets worse.
CM 10.1 Boot Loop CWM non responsive
I have the same issue. I used powered up and used Volume Down>Menu and it rebooted my Nook HD+ to back to the original Nook OS. Weird because when installed I deleted factory defaults like the instructions said before flashing. Anyway, now when I hold volume down>Menu on boot it come up Black screen with warning telling me it will delete all my documents and reset to factory. Will this wipe the CM 10.1 OS totally? Is there a way for me to get my CM 10.1 back without going through and making a boot image again and reinstalling from starch? CWM dose not seem to be working or am I using the wrong method to booth into CWM on my Nook HD+?

What you are seeing is stock recovery (I assume you mean you held n and power on boot, there is no menu button). You must not have successfully flashed the CWM or TWRP recovery to internal memory. That reset to factory it will just wipe your data, not remove the ROM. It will cause you to reinstall your apps though.
If you ever intend on updating your CM10.1 to a newer version in the future, you need to have that bootable recovery SD anyway (or successfully put it on internal memory).

In did install both the CWM and CM 10.1 the first time. It booted and rebooted for days without a problem. I believe b what happened was error. I had the alarm set to wake me and half asleep tried to turn it off while the groovy cover was shut by holding down the power button. I may have held down more keys then I thought in a sequence that deleted something that caused the Boot to hang. After that there was no way for me to enter the CWM. The command sequence that would normally send me to CWM sent me to nook factory reset. I noticed that there is a small glitch between hibernate and the b alarm. Holding down the power key to get it to shutdown can cause it enter CWM from time to time.
When I reinstalled everything funny thing is my screen lock settings and background selection (I previously downloaded) stayed along with my user profile. That leads me to believe that everything was in tact on the internal storage. Google play backed up and reinstalled all my apps automatically once I signed in:good:. I'm taking your advice and buying a 4G SD to keep the CMW boot image on with the latest CM. Thanks for your help.
Distorted Boot Animation
Is there a way to fix the distorted boot animation on Nook HD+ CM10.1? I have tried installing a different bootanimation.zip but it didn't make a difference.
I found this post on a similar problem with the nook color running CM10.1, and steven676 fixed the boot animation issue with a new kernel. "I was wandering if it could be used to fix the Nook HD+ as well?"

"I guess in order for one to gain, one must lose something." LOL
In meantime I'll just disable the boot animation with Rom Toolbox.
Hopefully it get's fixed in later updates without any lost.
This thread seems to be in the range of what my issues are. The Nook worked fine for about 4 days and then while installing the Retro Arc apk I sideloaded, it picked up on an unprotected Wifi connection in the area. It then locked up as the notifications were flying in, and the screen went black. I powered off then off after that once and the Cyanogen logo just kept looking. Tried again after and it went to Stock Nook.
The last few days have been spent doing clean installs with care taken to follow the exact steps, but now all I get for 2 days is the Cyanogen Logo looping over and over. Help?

Just found this on a thread here. I can't find it at this time. I would really like to credit and thank the poster. I had to go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache on every boot. I have only booted once but this change seems to have fixed this issue.
Firsts go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache.( Hold down the power and n buttons until you get into CWM. Go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache. Reboot)
When you get it booted, go into setting/launcher/home screen and uncheck Wallpaper quick render.
Good luck!

Edit to say credit goes to Arron Camp for this fix. Thanks Arron!

Firsts go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache.( Hold down the power and n buttons until you get into CWM. Go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache. Reboot)
When you get it booted, go into setting/launcher/home screen and uncheck Wallpaper quick render.
Good luck!

Edit to say credit goes to Arron Camp for this fix. Thanks Arron!

I have had the same problem in this thread as well (reboots stuck at cyanogenmod logo). I have been wiping the dalvik cache every time (figured it out on my own) and can confirm it works but you do have to do it at every boot (or perhaps after you change wallpaper, not sure).
I got tired of it happening so i google'd the issue and found this thread; mine is stuck right now too (and also out of battery, lol), but once I charge it, wipe dalvik and boot into android I will try the "quick render" trick and see if that fixes the boot problem to begin with.
Edit: I can confirm that disabling quick render has fixed the need to do a dalvik wipe every reboot.
Question

I don't know if the color+ has sdcard recovery but if it does that would be the way to go except for...
The other thing is that if you had put on a custom recovery then holding what ever buttons to go to it could allow you to fix it. Or waiting until 8 reboots or whatever if its the same as the nook hd+.
I think there may also be additional stuff that can be tried on the nook logo screen via various button presses as well but don't have any knowledge about that especially for the color+

Bricked Nook HD+

Hi guys, I have bricked my nook hd+ and I hope to get some advice, thank you.
I had the problem where i was only able to boot to cwm recovery, I managed to solve it by using a stock backup, combined with flashing a 2.1 stock rooted rom as i had problems recovering the data partition.
After I did all that(I should have really stopped when I got it working) I tried to install cwm recovery by using the bootable sd card as i lost my custom recovery for some reason. However, I was not able to after rebooting 20+ times. I previously bought two nooks, my other nook had no problems but this particular device had to be rebooted 20-30 times before it worked the other time. Being the genius I am, I then tried to flash recovery using various apps since I still had root..one of the programs flashed and restarted my nook hd+ and I can only boot to the "nook" screen now. Holding power and the n button only restarts the tablet.
I guess my only way out is if i could somehow get adb to work? I know its a long shot but I have been trying for the past 1 hour and have not been able to do anything. My computer manages to recognize the tablet as "Blaze_Tablet" and i am unable to change the drivers. Anyway i was hoping if someone could give me an idea of what i could do or if i should give up on the device as it is unrecoverable. I would appreciate any response at all, thank you good people of xda!
I somehow managed to get fastboot working and flashed custom recovery and managed to restore from backup of stock :victory:
