Cm9 on bootable sd wont work

I've been trying like crazy to make a bootable sd card to run cm9 with no success. the Cyanogen universal bootloader comes up, but when it goes to boot up the ROM it just sits on a black screen for about 15 seconds then reboots. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It would be so much useful if you could also describe us which installation method did you follow.
Produced by NookColor at CM9 4.0.4

I followed verygreens method. Over the last 6 months, I've performed this method a good 30-40 times for cm7. From what I understand, I'm supposed to perform this same method for cm9. I've tried using both image installers just to make sure I was using the correct one

You need to rename the cm zip to begin with update-.
Or are you starting with a fresh SD burned with a new image? You should not get a cyanogen logo if you are. You should just get a loading followed by the penguin and some text. If you do not have the newest image, I think you can get it on leapinlar's tip thread.

I've tried it with the new image and the old one. I'm passed the penguin, it ran the text and shut off. When I turn it back on I get the cyano universal boot, then it goes to a black screen for about 10 or15 seconds then it reboots and will do this over and over again if I don't shut it down.

Will it still boot to emmc when you select that with the boot menu?

Yes it does.

Ok, that means you are not in a recovery bootloop. And you do not need to repair any partitions on emmc. And given the fact that it boots to cyanoboot bootloader rather than the little penguin means the rom flashed successfully. The only thing I can think of is a corrupted download file for CM. Try re-downloading.

ok, now when i'm in the penguin stage with text, it reaches a point were is says it cant find initial install files. which i assume means it cant find the rom. in know your first thought is going to be that i didnt rename the rom update-, but i did. I am just adding update- to the beginning of the file name right? I'm not supposed to take away the cm- all together am i? it reads update-cm-9.

yes it is. i ran it again and it took it, but now its doing the same thing it was before were it goes from cyanoboot to a black sceen for 15 seconds or so then reboots. the thing is i got this rom from a different source this time samiam303. could i be doing something wrong when expanding the partition? im expanding it to around 1g.

Why are you expanding the boot partition so large? And how are you doing it? And you are doing it before you boot the first time, right? You may be confusing the verygreen script that partitions the rest of the SD. It may be that the other partitions are not created right. Then when you flash, the rom is not installed correctly.

Are you expanding the boot partition prior to doing anything else?
It is important that if in windows... when you expand boot partition... do it before any other partition are on it... modifying ext partitions in windows will cause major issues... including moving them.
Also... how long are you waiting... initial boot after running the setup will have a black sceen for several minutes.

I'm expanding to1g because someone told me to do so. I'm expanding after restore to virtual hard drive, but before puting on cm9 file. Could it be because in expanding it to much? I'm using easy partition manger. I don't see a way to expand the partition before restore to virtual hard drive. In response to dizzyden, (like I said in my first post), after the cyanoboot screen it goes to the black screen for about 15 seconds or so then reboots and will continue to do so over and over until I hard power it. I'm aware that I'm coming off as an idiot but up until 6 months ago I'd never ever sat down at a computer. So thankyou for your patience

You should expand immediately after burning to the card. And 300Mb should be plenty for whatever you want to do. Anything more is just wasting your SD space. It is possible that having it so large did mess it up, but I don't know why it would. Just to be safe, I would boot without the zip on it and come back later after the first boot and it has partitioned the SD and put it on.

No problem urkle... Personally, I'd install CM7 on the SD and if/when it boots correctly... update it to CM9
Leap... I've only seen the size issue when boot partition is 2GB or larger... and don't ask me why I tried that LOL

OK, so I should burn the installer image, then expand the partition, then boot, then go back and put the cm9 zip on?

Yes

Still no change. Im still able to make cm7 burn without a problem, the only thing I'm doing different with the cm9 burn is position expansion.
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium

Hmm, and it does do boot to emmc with the cyanogenmod boot menu? I suspect partition 2 issues on emmc, but it would not boot to emmc if that was messed up.
Edit: Why are you expanding the boot partition at all. To make CM9 fit? If that is the only reason, go get my version that has already been expanded. Your PC may be doing something to the card. You can get my version by visiting my tips thread linked in my signature.

[HELP] Nook HD+ will not boot from EMMC or SD card

Hey guys,
So I've had my nook HD+ for a few months and have been running various roms on it for a while. Most recently I've had the latest Slimbean rom on it for about a week, Yesterday I went to use it after it had been charging all night and found it to be off. When I turn it on, it will just sit at the initial nook screen or get to the cyanoboot splash screen and just sit. I cannot boot into EMMC TWRP as it does the same thing. When I try to boot TWRP from an SD card it will get to the TWRP splash screen and just sit there without actually getting into the recovery, and if I try to boot a CWM SD card it will just sit at the cyanoboot splash screen. Is there something I can do to fix it or is my device bricked? And if it is bricked is there any way I could go about getting it replaced with the warranty as it currently and obviously has a custom rom on it.
Thanks for any help you can give me guys.

Did you try to boot to your internal TWRP but holding the n key and power key together from a power off situation? Be sure to release the power key after a few seconds so that it does not power itself back off.

I had one that I had used previously that I had written over and used for other things, I remade the bootable SD on that one and it didn't work. I also tried making 2 other bootable SDs following both methods (new and old) of the guide in this thread. My HD+ has never had a problem booting from bootable SDs before this happened, aside from taking a few reboots to actually get it to boot which I have read is common.

Since you have a custom ROM and a custom recovery on internal, it is hard to tell if the SDs are booting or not. Both cases look the same on the screen. I would bet they are not booting and it is always trying to boot to internal.

Well I can tell that the bootable TWRP SD card is at least trying to boot, as by just turning on the nook with that card in and not pressing the n button or anything will get it to the TWRP splash screen before it gets to the actual usable recovery screen. If i try to boot into the internal TWRP via n+power, it will either sit at the nook screen or the cyanoboot screen. I don't know if the CWM SD card that I tried was not working at all or just locking up on its own SD cyanoboot screen. Does that help at all?

I don't use TWRP so I don't know much about it. But both TWRP and CWM expect a working /cache partition on emmc. So that may be the issue. But unfortunately since you replaced stock recovery with TWRP, it cannot repair itself with the 8 failed boot procedure. You have to get an SD to boot to fix anything.

Yes the issue is that CWM is for installing CM to SD. That one will not find /sdcard because it is emulated and only is available after the ROM is installed.
You need to get a CWM working that is meant for installing things to emmc.
And those can't find /cache messages are worrisome.

I think your emmc is borked, not allowing those SDs made for emmc installs to boot. Those /cache errors are telling. And since you have other than stock on there and it partially boots showing that, I think you are stuck.
I think your only recourse is to put the no-emmc version on SD and run it that way. Go to the verygreen thread just before the last one I pointed to and try getting a ROM to run on it. I know nothing about that so if you have trouble, ask in that thread.

I do have the faulty chip, although its the rev6 version. I have tried my best to avoid running any trim enabled kernels. I don't know if Slimbean has trim enabled, I asked a couple times in the thread and never got a response, so I figured I'd try it and with the number of people using it I figured that it was disabled since I hadn't seen anyone having any trouble with it.

help! wont turn on or go into recovery

I can't seem to get my nook he plus to turn on after I try to do a hard reboot I get a small green and purple square in the middle of screen that stays for like 5 seconds then it just turns off .any ideas?

i have the same thing happening to me. i did get it to show the nook logo, then black screen for a second, then cyanogenmod then reboot.
i only got it to do that after having it charge for 3 hours.
i swear i will have EVERYTHING password protected from now on, since some little nephew of mine was monkeying around with it before it started this.

App for getting into Recovery

I have rooted my Nook to Stock rooted with Emmc CWM recovery. I'm not sure how to get into it on reboot I think it using the home key but isn't the easiest for me to do. So I'm wondering if anyone knows about a shutdown app that will have the recovery option added in.
Thanks

Get the app "reboot to recovery" by wikilab.de. It is the only one that works on this device. And it only works if it is rooted. It does not have shutdown, only recovery. Try "Quickboot" by Sirius for shutdown, but its reboot option does not work on the HD/HD+.

Boot from power off holding the power and n buttons simultaneously. After a few seconds release the power button before it turns itself off again, followed a couple of seconds later by releasing the n button. It should then boot into recovery (either stock, CWM or TWRP, whichever you have installed).

You have not installed CWM recovery. What you are seeing is stock recovery. To install CWM recovery, go to my dummies guide for the HD/HD+ linked in my signature and follow post 7 there. It tells you how to install cm11 but also tells you how to install CWM recovery.

Else while booting as soon as it display nook logo hold power button and "n" button for 4 seconds and leave. It must take you to recovery.

You still have stock recovery on internal memory. In order to get anything working you must make the bootable sd per the instructions in the dummies thread. And you must make it work. If you want to go back to pure stock, just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by powering down be for it gets to recovery or the cm11 rom. On the 9th boot let it go and it will reset itself and you can start over.

Thank you soo much.. I have been able to restore the nook to the stock rom after rebooting it multiple times.. Much Obliged sir..

I have been able to revert to stock but i cannot enter into cwm recovery still..
I have a 8gb sd i used sdformatter to format the card then used EaseUs partition and right clicked E: and selected make active.
After that i unzipped the NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-BOOTFILES-r4-(05.15.13).rar and first copied Mlo file then other 4 files from desktop folder to sd card. Then copied NookHD-CWM-6036-for-internal-memory-rev2-(03-08-14).zip, Cm 10.1 and gapps onto the sdcard and put that card into nook and booted it up. tried multiple times but still it goes straight to the nook boot screen with the percentage bar without going to cwm recovery like it should.. Also the power home volume combo just gives the factory reset option like before. Am i doing something wrong? please advise..

Do you have an HD or an hd+? You got the files for hd+ for the bootfiles and the hd version for cwm. I suspect that you have the HD and that is why it won't boot with the hd+ bootfiles

It looks like you are doing things right. Sometimes it is just hard to get the hd+ to boot. There is a whole thread about. I think I have a link to it in my hd/hd+ cwm thread linked in my signature.

Since the tablet was with my dad he just told me to stop fiddling with it and leave it as it is.. so I don't need to worry right now but I am pretty sure he's gonna ask me to revert it to cm11 soon and I don't know how I am gonna manage that without entering cwm recovery.. isn't there a method to flash via Odin ?

No, you must use an sd.
