[Q] Can i revert to stock? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to follow Verygreen's thread here:
[Nook HD+] CM10.1 development for sdcard last update 07/03 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087988
CM hangs on its loading screen and I didn't take a backup of the stock before i installed. I thought the point of the thread was that i could run CM from the sd card but without the sd card in it would boot into stock. I can get to CWM by keeping the card in. Is there any means of reverting to stock or have I overwritten it?
Here's what i did;
I placed cwm on my class 4 card and copied cm-10.1-20130629-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip to a location on the nook's interal memory.
Inserted the sdcard with cwm into my powered off nook.
Turned on Nook and CWM loaded.
Followed instructions to install zip from sdcard -> install from internal storage
rebooted - and reach hanging CM loading screen.
I guess before i should have backed up stock before installing from internal storage.

Am i right in thinking i can place the stock 2.1.0 from section 6 in leapinlar's [CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods - via CWM flashable zips - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
steps would be place zip on sdcard, get to cwm, install from sd card.
is there any point running a backup at this point because CM10.1 which what it tries to boot to won't fully load at present.

Did you wipe first. I noticed your missing that from your list. Wipe to clear Data from Stock then install CM 10.1 and yes just wipe Data and flash leapinlar's stock zip. It should revert all changes
If you did wipe check the MD5 of the zip and compare to the md5 on the post.
Check md5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1404763&d=1350336284

Yep - you can install CM7 by getting the update.zip from teamdouche, copying it to your SD card, booting into CWM and selecting Install update.zip from SD card. This will overwrite your stock with CM7.

Are you sure of this? If you look at the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 you have to first prepare your SDCard and then install from that. I tried just installing from cwm in stock root and ended up getting assert errors and aborted installation... and if you wipe the caches like it explains needs to happen, you are stuck booting into cwm untill such time as you follow the instructions in the thread I posted, which work without a hitch if you are able to follow instructions,
migrax
What special preparation? The image being burned to the SD card is just clockwork mod, which isn't necessary if he already has CWM. Once in CWM, that guide just has you flash the CM7 update off the SD card. I don't know about the assert errors, but I don't think it has to do with how you've prepared the SD card.

So what are you wanting to do? Boot CM7 off SD card? If so, this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Sk8house911 is right. Just make sure you flash the correct cwr from rom manager, which is 3.0.1.0 And make a backup before you do anything.

If you want to keep the stock B&N reader, you can install CM7 to a SD card per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I did this and also installed a dual-boot menu, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962708, and can select either stock on the eMMC or CM7 on the SD card.
I'm quite happy with this arrangement, although I may change things around after the B&N Froyo update arrives.

[Q][NookHD+] CM10.1 native emmc install

Hi, guys, I am really new to my Nook HD+ coz I received it 2 days ago.
After reading lots of posts, I wanna try the CM10.1 native emmc which I used with other pad.
May I ask after installing it by the method given by verygreen(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553), is it possible to reset it to the original Nook system with the 8-restart method? Coz I note verygreen says "Note, this version totally overwrites your ROM, so back up everything important before proceeding".
Thanks very much!
If you replace the stock recovery with one of his recoveries (CWM or TWRP), the 8 failed restart no longer works. If you only install his ROM and not the recovery, the 8 failed restart still works.
But if you use his CWM SD to do a nandroid backup before you install his ROM, you can restore that one later so you get stock back.

cant unzip the cwm image
i am new to installing roms i have used cwm before but the link for the cwm image is not downloading the same as normal and letting me extract the files then burn to sd etc. do i just write the cwm.early4 file as is when i download it? i'm not understanding why its different than the usual zip files and is an 8g sd card large enough? thanks for your time i realize explaining things to us noobs is frusterating

No, don't use early4. If you want to install the CM to emmc, you must use the CWM that he has in the emmc thread (early 2.1). It should unzip to 1GB and can be burned to a 1GB or larger SD. Don't confuse it with the other cwm zip (that he calls CWM recovery) that is meant for flashing CWM to emmc.

I have some more problems, can you help me?
I installed verygreen's CM10.1 native emmc install without replacing the internal recovery. It works well but I found sth wrong.
1. Sometimes the wallpaper cannot be full screen after changing from landscape mode to portrait mode.
2. For the lock screen sider shortcut, I cannot do any modification in the setting and for the phone and sms icon, when I move to them, it says error.
Thanks!

I don't know the answers. You would get better results in the emmc CM10.1 thread. But maybe someone else will answer here.

[Q] Confused about Nook HD+ CM10 installaiton methods

I wondered if anyone could help me regarding the practical differences between the three types of CM10 install (EMMC, hybrid and SD card) - as in, does each method vary in speed, stability etc? I'd like to know which is the 'definitive' method for stable long, term CM10 use (as I was running cm-10-20130220-UNOFFICIAL-ovation using hybrid method, which was running perfectly for weeks, until one day it froze while I was playing a game, and now won't boot into CM10).
I'd also like to still be able to restore the original Nook OS in case I ever need to send it back under warranty; is this possible with an EMMC CM10 install?
Thanks in advance, guys.

I went ahead and installed the EMMC method. Runs smoother for me than either of the SD card options.
once you have recovery installed on your Nook HD+ you can make a nandroid backup and revert back to nook OS any time you want.

There is not one guide that pulls it all together. Verygreen's native emmc guide tells you how to make his bootable CWM SD and flash the ROM, but is kind of sketchy on how to backup stock and optionally install the internal recovery.
I suggest you go to my HD/HD+ CWM guide linked in my signature and follow the below steps:
1. Make a bootable CWM SD per my new procedure in section 1a.
2. Boot to the new CWM SD and backup your stock ROM per item 1d.
3. Use the CWM to flash verygreen's latest emmc version of CM10.1 from his native emmc thread.
4. Use CWM to flash gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip downloaded from goo.im
5. Use the CWM to 'wipe data/factory reset'
6. If you want to put CWM on internal memory, flash my version of internal CWM per item 5 of my thread. (Optional)
7. Remove the SD and boot to your new CM10.1 ROM and register and set it up.
8. If you want to go back to original stock, use CWM to restore your original backup.

That's brilliant - thanks!
Just a quick query: While CWM was doing the backup, I got the following error messages:
"No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage."
"No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext."
Is this a problem, and should I be concerned?

It is really not necessary. You can always just wipe and flash the plain stock ROMs I have on my HD/HD+ CWM thread. It just means your installed apps are gone if you do.

I just flashed your EMMC version of CWM from your thread - I used the CWM SD card to boot into, then I flashed the internal CWM zip - is this the correct way to do it? It said that the flash was sucessful, but how do I now boot into this internal CWM?
Thanks, once again.
EDIT: I was doing power+vol -; I just tried power + 'n' button and it booted into CWM, so I guess I figured it out...

[Q] Nook HD+ CWM downgrade from 6.0.4.5

Basically I'm kinda new to android, I only flashed different roms and mods for my arc s and nook hd+, and unbricked them sometimes, but I still don't have this much knowledge and I'm not a developer so please avoid mocking me :silly:
Ok let's cut the crap and get to business:
I've searched everywhere for two weeks, and I can't find how to do this. Basically this stems from the need to have a "flash from external sd card" command in the CWM recovery. Basically I flashed this 6.0.4.5 in order to be able to install these new 4.4.2 roms (kitkat comet, aorp, omni etc) but then, when I wanted to go back to a 4.3, I couldn't find the install from external sd option, only from internal. This haunted me for weeks until I found the verygreen/leapinlar cwm thread for CM, and created a cwm recovery sd that booted from this recovery and had this external sd option.
The recovery that I have right now (6.0.4.5) only has the "flash from /sdcard" command, while the older ones if I remember correctly have the external one (and they got blue fonts instead of orange :silly: ). So I want to downgrade (or update if this is what is needed) to a version that has external sd option, instead of internal (or both)
I can only find rom manager online, and obviously the app does not support the hd+ and changes nothing, recovery wise.
You are right ROM manager is not supported on the HD/HD+. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 5. I have a link there for a flashable zip to put v6036 on your device. But it is not compatible with CM11. If you follow verygreen's CM11 thread you will see he is updating his v6045 to fix the install from SD option.

Thanks but I get error 7 while trying to flash it. I'm starting to think it's recovery's fault. I will create the cwm sd again and install it from there
Will report success or failure

Must have missed the fifth point in your post while lurking between 5-7 pages of xda, it's so easy to get confused in this sea of informations :silly:
Ok so, I created the CWM sd and flashed your flashable 6.0.3.6 cwm recovery zip.
I then rebooted to system and the device got stuck at cyanoboot screen.
So I turned off the device and booted to recovery keeping the home button pressed.
The newly flashed recovery showed up and I restored a backup that, thank god, I did today. Now I got my recovery and everything is allright, thank you leapinlar!

How do I put CWM on it?
How do I root?
Do I need an SD card?
Please help, would mean a lot. Thanks.
You do not need to root to put a new ROM on.
Go to the dummies guide to see how to put CWM on and a new ROM. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
And yes, you need an SD card to do all that.

The issue is you used my older 6027 version of CWM. It does not ask that question. The solution is to use my Universal Root rev 3 zip and it uses verygreen's unlocker as part of the zip. So it does the same thing his does and adds a few goodies too.
