CWM removal - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i searched the forums for help but nothing has helped so far, so heres my problem:
i installed CM10.1 to my internal memory last week. i installed it with CWM, during the installation i installed the TWRP package hoping that it would install TWRP (i read somewhere that it should be installed during the process). once i installed CM10.1 i rebooted thinking it would boot into TWRP but........ nope! i installed TWRP from Gplay. the interface is epic and it seems like it might be a great app but when i select the reboot to recovery my HD+ just reboots back into CM10.1
im still able to boot into CWM recovery so im sure thats the problem so i need help removing CWM. there is no app installed and i cant seem to find the folder (at least not with file expert. i was hoping to be able to install the latest rom using TWRP but its proving to be harder than i thought. thanks in advance guys, any and all help is appreciated!

CWM is not part of the CM10.1 ROM. It is totally separate. It is not an app. It is installed in its own location in internal memory. To get to either CWM or TWRP recovery, you need to activate the reboot option in CM10.1. Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times. That will activate developers options. Then go to developer options and put a check in advanced reboot. Then on power off menu you should be able to boot to recovery. If it is CWM in recovery, just flash the TWRP install zip from verygreen's emmc thread and it will be TWRP from then on, replacing CWM.

lol, TWRP is epic but i was more excited with the fact that it worked. i havent installed the newest update rom yet but will as soon as i can. im sure my first go with TWRP will go as it should. i just used TWRP to make a backup and it was so much easier than CWM. that alone to me is worth installing TWRP.

Make sure you are using verygreen's latest TWRP (2.60) as earlier versions had backup/restore broken.

Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times until the developer options is enabled. Then go there and put a check in the advanced reboot checkbox. Then when you hit the power off/reboot menu, a second menu comes up to let you select recovery.

[Q] CWM recovery reverts back to stock recovery

Installed "NookHDplus-CWM-6028-for-internal-memory-rev0-(05.24.13).zip" and I am able to to hold power and n buttons to get into CWM recovery, but if I let the nook HD+ boot up into stock rom, recovery reverts back to stock recovery. I have repeated this several times, flashed CWM recovery to emmc and after boot up it reverts back to stock recovery.
I guess my question is, it appears that the nook HD+ stock checks boot and restores stock recovery on bootup. Is this the case? And how can this be prevented? I have no problem booting CWM recovery from SD, but would rather have CWM recovery permanent in emmc.
I don't know why that is happening to you but I can tell you my HD+ does not do that. I have CWM installed and it does not reflash.

Stock does have a mechanism built in where it can rebuild stock recovery if it thinks it is necessary. That is how it installs the new stock recovery after an update to the stock ROM.
I'm not sure I have tried my internal CWM when running stock on emmc. Why do you want CWM on internal if you are running stock? There is generally nothing to flash after the initial set of mods are done. And stock needs the stock recovery to be able to update itself if need be.

I installed CWM on stock as I wanted an easy way to make backups. I figured I could always reinstall stock recovery if need be.

That is not a bad idea, but I'm not sure stock will let you do that.
Have you added any of my zips to stock before you put CWM on internal memory? If you flash either extras or root to stock, it should remove the ability of stock to rebuild stock recovery. The file is in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. I reuse that file for my purposes by symlinking a new version.

That;s exactly the same reason I am trying to put CWM recovery on stock. Just a convienience for backup/restore, but keeps reverting back to stock recovery after I bootup into stock nook. The only think I can add, is that this is a brand new HD+ with the latest software update.

I can verify that I have not flashed extras or root, and that makes perfect sense, that was my next step to see if if would stop it from rebuilding stock recovery. Thanks for the help, I appreciate the info.
I did flash both your extras and root. I have made backups I guess now I need to test them to see if they work. I am currently running rooted stock and boot able CM on an SD card. Both work really well.

What are the major differences between your build and verygreens if you don't mind me asking. I expect you have tailored the build for a specific need/s?

Besides mine being just slightly older than verygreen's, mine has been modified to protect any hybrid files that may be on internal memory. Verygreen's does not. That way if you choose to run hybrid on SD, it will not be effected by any CWM actions you take on emmc. That is more important to users that run stock on emmc and hybrid CM10.1 on SD.

[Q] Where can I get stock ROM for restoring Nook HD+?

Hello,
Kudos to all the nice folks here for the CM mod and updates.
My Nook HD+ has battery issues and was told to send it back to B&N. I took a backup of the stock ROM before installing CM but I'm unable to find it :crying:
I've searched a lot for this and would really really appreciate a link to download the ROM and copy to the microSD card.
I believe I just need the "clockworkmod" folder on the microSD card, right? If not, it would be great to have quick steps.
Thanks again for your time..
You can get the plain stock zip that is flashable with CWM from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Item 6. That will take you back to pure stock so you can deal with B&N.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response, leapinlar.
I downloaded "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip" and extracted it to get "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).img" which I burned to the microSD card using "Win32DiskImager"
And then, I copied "NookHDplus-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock.zip" file to the card. I tried inserting this card to the Nook HD+ device but it just boots to CM instead of showing options to restore.
I believe I'm missing something. I'm so sorry to bother you but would greatly appreciate if you could spare a few moments to point me in the right direction. It would be immensely helpful.
Thanks so much again for responding.
You can try using my alternate procedure in item 1a in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

Thanks again, leapinlar.
I tried the alternate procedure and did the following:
1. Used "SDFormatter" to format the card and used "EaseUS Partition Master" to make the single partition on the microSD card "active"
2. Copied files making sure to copy "MLO" file first before copying the rest. (Please refer to attachment for the files that were in the card)
I was able to complete the "install from SD card" option and it finished with the following message:
Code:
Random Offset: 0xcb
Boot Files...
Boot Files...
Install Complete.
When I tried rebooting the device, Nook HD+ seems to load stock but gets stuck at 99% forever. Not sure how to proceed now. Can I just go ahead and return the device or should I bring it to working condition?
Thanks again for sparing your time, leapinlar.. Greatly appreciate it.
Did you do a factory reset with CWM before rebooting after flashing the plain stock? You need to.

Hi. I am selling my nook hd+ and would like to restore the B&N stock rom. I am running CM 10.1 stable. Based on this thread and leapinlar's advice in his CWM thread, I have the following steps:
1. Place the backed-up nook rom zip in the CWM folder.
2. Reboot into CWM recovery
3. Wipe data and rom
4. Flash the stock zip file
Based on leapinlar's advice in his CWM thread, it is my understanding that flashing the zip will fully restore the unit to stock rom, including stock recovery. Is that correct?
EDIT: Sorry, but perhaps I was mistaken. The stock rom zip has to be loaded on the bootable CWM sd card?
Appreciate all input. Thank you.

Restoring the backup will only do the ROM and not recovery. You must flash the plain stock zip if you want both replaced. And yes, you copy the zip to the SD. And just do the factory reset, no other wiping.

When you refer to factory reset, you are referring to factory reset of the current rom on the unit (i.e. in my case, CM 10.1)?

Hello guys, I would just like to add to this- I actually wanted to restore to stock rom as well.
I remember using the img burn method as outlined before to get to cwm recovery. I actually tried the new method involving just formatting and copying the 5 boot files and copying the zips as well. However, with the sd card in the slot, the device just boots to the stock rom.
From reading leapinlar's guide, I remember saying that it will take about 10 boots to boot into cwm recovery- however, I did over 15 times now and with no success- is there any other way to get to recovery mode quicker?
I actually ended up running into TWRP recovery and there did the flashing of stock rom, but it didn't get rid of the cyanoboot screen- I think I need to go through one more factory reset in order to get rid of the boot screen, and therefore will need to access the cwm recovery.
Any help will be appreciated. thanks

Doing the recovery multiple times haven't really worked out so far.

Are you sure you flashed the plain stock and not my rooted stock? Rooted stock would cause the cyanoboot logo to still show.

yes! I actually flashed the rooted stock. So then the next question I have is- is it possible to have no cyanoboot logo yet have the device rooted?
also, I am still wondering as to why the cwm recovery is not showing up when I use my sd. is the method using img recovery still valid?

Yes, my root methods before rev3 used the old way of rooting, without the revised boot.img. But those versions did not have the /system file protection removed. But I removed it from my site when I published rev3.
And yes the CWM SD is still valid using both methods. But sometimes the img method is harder to achieve.

do you mean by flashing universal root rev2 on pure stock rom, there should not be cyanboot logo?
can you please explain removed system file protection? do you mean the root is not complete? some app can not get su access?

That is correct, there is no cyanoboot logo with rev2. And rev2 works perfectly as root.
What I mean by no removed file protection is that with rev2 you cannot change any files in /system without it being detected and on the next boot it resetting itself to pure stock with no root. With rev3 that file protection for /system is removed, but it shows the cyanoboot logo. It is a trade off.
If you want rev2 I can repost the link.

So, I have used every trick you have posted to recover or install a new rom. After I install the rom and GAPPS with the bootable SD card, I restart and it just sits on the NOOK screen. I did notice I get a this: INSTALLING UPDATE / Random OFFSET: 0x26d / Boot Files...Boot Files...
The Random Offset number changes each time I try to install the rom.......any ideas?

[Q] How to Wipe the Nook HD+ ?

Hey Guys,
so I've decided to sell my Nook HD+ and wanna make sure I deleted it properly.
I installed the CM 10.2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
Is there anything else I need to do except using the standard Factory-Reset-wiping from the settings? (I also deleted the SD card and removed it ofc.)
As far as I remember I did use the Nook original software for a short time before I installed CM10... Is that gonna be an issue?
Thanks for your help!

It depends on what you want running on it when you sell it.
If you want to keep CM10.1 on it, go to CWM and factory reset and to clear your media files go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'.
If you want it back to stock, do the same wiping with CWM followed by flashing the plain stock zip from item 6 in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
And having run stock for a while makes no difference.

Hello leapinlar, thanks for your response.
I want CM10.2 running on it, and thats also the one thats currently on it. (I typed in wrong before)
Uhm, as far as I remember I only got into CWM with the SD card, I created with your guide. Is there a combination boot into CWM the Nook? Or do I have to make a SD card again?
I didnt wanted to try it out because last time I tried to boot into it and I ended up restoring Stock Nook and had to start over... (Its been a while though)

When you need to get into recovery, you can either do "reboot to recovery" in reboot menu (need to enable that in settings) or reboot the nook, and when you see original nook boot logo, press and hold power + home buttons for about 4 seconds.

but I cant find any reboot into CWM option and if i do the reboot + Nook+Power Button then I get a small window that asks me whether I want to factory reset or not..
I created a new SD card now and got into CWM and reinstalled CWM into eMMC and could boot into it afterwards. Then I factory reset and formatted "/data and /data/media (/sdcard)"
Thanks
Looks like its good to go! Man I'm sad to part my ways with it. ;_;

[Q] boot loop / unflashable after cm11 update

Hello,
i am new here and have a big problem ..
i have a nook hd+ with cyanogenmod cm11.
the update worked great and everything was fine. i used some nightly updates.
after one the boot sequence was really slow and android was nearly unusable.
i updated the cwm recovery to v6.0.4.5 and nothing where flashable anymore.
can not change the cwm update or downgrade
can not flash the android
bootloop
with a bootable cwm 28 (to stock) it was also impossible to flash the factory rom .
it showed a random offset and installation failed. (see image)
what can i do ? i tried it so often and nothing help.

Download the newer plain stock 2.2.0 and try to flash that one. But before you flash go to mounts and storage and format /system.

Try flashing the stock recovery from item 5 and then try doing the 8 failed boot procedule. Just interrupt the boot by holding the power key for several seconds until it powers off. Do this 8 times in a row and on the next boot it should try to reset itself to pure stock.

thanx.. the problem is that i cant flash any recovery.
after install from .zip, cwm 6.0.4.5 tell me "done". but when i boot into recover it is still the same.
so the 8 times boot technique didnt worked for me.
i am going mad a little... :cyclops:
close to throw that nice thing out of the window. damn.

Sounds like it is bricked. You might as well throw it out the window.

Did you try flashing recovery from SD-based (rather than your current internal emmc) recovery?

Sounds like a nightmare...
So, I've had my nook hd+ for over a year and I'm finally considering rooting and installing cyanogen... but this post has left me fearful of bricking my nook, while it's a little old now, I still need it for school, work, etc... Is there anything in particular that the poster did wrong that I myself should avoid? I want to know that I can safely restore to stock if necessary and I've read the materials and watched videos to feel relatively comfortable... but then I read this lol. Also, I've been wondering how you create a duel boot disc so I could maintain stock unscathed internally and be able to have all the advantages of cyanogen and android when I have a sd card inserted? I've seen that some pay for sd cards out there do this but haven't had any luck finding a tutorial for that itself? Thanks for any info, I really appreciate it.
P.S. to the original poster, I'm super sorry about your nook, that sounds like it sucks.

I would say his mistake was choosing CM11. Many CM11 users have reported bricking. Even some users running CM11 on SD have reported emmc bricking since even SD installs use a little of emmc (/cache). I recommend CM10.1.3 stable. I can't think of anyone bricking with that. Go to the dummies guide linked in my signature for instructions.
