I was trying to install CM10 onto my Nook HD and I somehow screwed it up. I flash ROMS all the time on my MyTouch 4G and i am not a complete stranger to flashing, but I messed it up some how. Now the Nook HD will get past the Nook Banner. I tried a hard reset but it gets like 98% then shuts off. I can still insert an SD and access CWM but nothing will flash and i get this error when I try to do anything.
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I made a backup on the internal SD but it says there are no files in recovery. I am at a loss. This is my first post I am hoping someone would have an idea.
Thanks
If you tried a hard reset, the first thing it does is format everything. That is why you no longer have a backup on internal memory. Never store backups on internal memory without copying them to SD or your PC for safekeeping. It is the first thing lost on a reset.
Those cache errors mean that the cache partition is not formatted. You need to boot to a CWM SD for stock and format /system, /cache and /data. Then flash the plain stock 2.0.0 stock ROM that I have linked in my HD/HD+ CWM thread. Then you can boot to it, let it update and register again.
Then you can start over with CM10 to SD. And when you said you tried to install it earlier, I hope you meant install to SD. It cannot be installed to internal memory.

I'm the same situation. The problem is that these partitions are physically gone.
How do we recreate them? It sounds like something that has to be done using adb, a disk partioning utility (fdisk maybe?) and the names of the devices that need to be created, and then marking /boot as boot.
I've tried to format /cache and the other partitions but it says they don't exist. This problem is also preventing me from installing images including the stock Nook HD software, too, which apparently needs these partitions to exist already.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I will give you two clues, then do some research.
First to understand the HD/HD+ partition structure, go to my HD/HD+ Tips thread linked in my signature and read item 16.
Second, the HD/HD+ uses a GPT partition structure rather than the standard DOS MBR structure. You need to use gdisk instead of fdisk. Search the Nook Tablet forum to understand a little more about gdisk and GPT. The NT also uses it.

Thanks for the clues. I was hoping someone could have a plug-and-play solution for this that I can use.
But, I'll see what I can do to solve this puzzle but I'm about to mail this thing to someone who can restore it and buy a new one at this point.

bricked my nook hd+
Hi guys, I'm a noob and yet I took a chance to upgrade my nook hd+ into CM 10.2. On the initial boot with CWM sd card, my nook recognized it right away. I followed "installing cyanogenmod 10.2(instead of 10.1) for dummies After much trouble I was able to "reboot system now". Now as I rebooted from the CWM 10.2 install, all I get is an initial boot with nook for a few seconds which flashes in and out then switches to the cyanogen universal bootloader after power button is pressed a number of times. Then much to my surprise it loaded the page EMMC CWM Based recovery v6.0.3.2. I pressed reboot system now but it didn't load CWM cyanogenmod but only loads nook's initial boot page, flashes same page in & out, then after pressing on the power button a number of times, would switch to the cyanogen universal bootloader, pressing the power button some more brings the screen to EMMC CWM Based recovery v6.0.3.2. The choices here are: 1. reboot system now, 2. install zip from sd card (CWM sd card is still inserted in nook hd+), 3. install zip from sideload, 4. wipe data/factory reset, 5. wipe cache partition, 6. backup and restore, 7. mount & storage, and 8. advanced. What should be done from here? PLEASE HELP. Thanks

Quick question leapinlar. Does the 8 failed boots hard reset also restore the /boot partition to stock given your recovery is stock and not cwm or other?

You need stock recovery still on internal memory for the 8 failed boot to work. But if it works, everything is completely back to stock, including /boot.

The only 10.2 out yet is an SD install. If you haven't already, I would suggest to power off, remove the SD card and try booting from internal storage.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. Do you mean rebooting the nook hd+ without the CWM sd card? Yes, I've done this step to no avail. It would boot to the EMMC CWM based recovery v6.0.3.2. I've to be honest, whilst waiting for a response, I tried to remedy the situation by trying to install CWM 10.1 but the upgrade cannot get installed, then the android mascot just seemed to die (open chest with an exclamation point inside a red triangle). Does this mean it's irreparable?

As Sherip said, the CM10.2 is an SD install only. You should not have been following the Dummies guide for installing that. That is for installing to internal memory. You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and put stock recovery back on internal. I have a link to it in my item 5 in that thread. Then the device can successfully do an 8 failed boot to get back to stock.

It means
1. turn on the nook,
2. when it starts to boot up press and hold power until it turns off.
3. turn it back on,
4. repeat steps 2 & 3 8x.
It needs to be 8 "failed" boots, that get interrupted before it has a chance to get all the way through the process.

8 failed boots will not work unless you have stock recovery still on emmc. It looks like you replaced stock recovery with CWM. You either have to flash a stock ROM (which also replaces the CWM with stock recovery) or you need to flash my stock recovery zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

I don't know why it gives you that error message. I recommend you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make one of my CWM bootable SDs from item 1. Then flash my plain stock 2.1.0 zip from my item 6.

So my Nook HD+ has been running Evergreen's CM 10.1 EMMC fine for a couple weeks. I've had some lag issues so I ran Lagfix and it worked great (though that's another topic). Today, I ran Lagfix again and my HD+ froze. I pressed the power button for 12 seconds to shut it off and it wouldn't boot, just a black screen. Crap.
Ok, no panic. I try pressing the power button for 30 seconds, plug it in, etc. Nothing. Ok, no biggie, going to have to reflash, right? So I download the updated 6/13 Cm10.1 EMMC, copy it over to my CWM SD card, stick it into my HD+ and boot. Boots into CWM no problem. First thing I see is:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

Well I've seen that before, so I don't panic as I seem to recall its not a serious error. So I wipe cache thinking that maybe its corrupted. Not sure if that was smart or stupid but it seems it doesn't matter, because I try and install from SDcard and I get can't mount SDcard. Yikes! I choose install from internal SD and I get can't mount EMMC. Yikes!! I try and restore a backup, there is no backup as sdcard can't mount! Ok so I reboot and try it again a few times, the same error. I try running chkdsk on the SD card on my desktop and it checks out fine, no errors. I tried swapping in another clean and newly formatted fat32 SD card with only CM10.1 on it and it won't mount either.
I try going to advance->boot to recovery and pull out the sdcard. My HD+ boots and then is stuck at the screen where it says "NOOK" in white. Right before recovery should load. Its like recovery is missing or something.
Ok, I'm getting nervous that I have a serious problem. I boot my CWM SD card again and plug the HD+ into my desktop (Windows) and run ADB. I can adb shell, so I try and mount sdcard from the shell. I get
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: no such file or directory.

Ok, lets try sideload: adb sideload cm.zip.

Ok, I have a trick I did one time before when I had a similar problem. I try and run:
adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard
This should mount my ram as sdcard and then I can push the rom to ram and flash from there. However, the error I get is like tmpfs doesn't exist. Ok, I am no expert so at this point I am stuck.
I didn't want to wipe anything yet as I don't know what that would do. At this point being able to boot into my CWM SD card is the only thing that works and I don't want to mess with it as I am now out of my knowledge area.
Anyone know what I can do here? I mean I can't restore a backup or flash a new rom. Does the HD+ have a download mode so I can use Odin? Is fastboot an option here? I am a few days behind on my backup but I can live with a factory reset if that is called for, no problem.
I've hit panic time, please help! Thanks!

I'm glad you saw this, as I could use your Nook guruness right about now. This is it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkeydonate.lagfix&feature=search_result. Its just a GUI for fstrim and it runs it on /data.
Is there a download mode on the Nook by any chance? If I could Odin this rom on there, I think I'd be all set, but I have to say, the fact that CWM SD can't mount or find EMMC has me worried.

That sounds like a dangerous thing to be playing with. There is not a download mode and Odin is for Samsung devices.
It sounds like you borked your partitions. Did you replace the stock recovery with CWM or TWRP?

I did initially (like 2 weeks ago) replace the stock recovery with TWRP. I've run TWRP backups a bunch since then. Of course, those are useless with CWM SD, but I have 2 CWM nandroids on my CWM SD (which I can't access since CWM can't mount the SD ). BTW I am using, and used originally, your CWM SD image.
If I screwed up my partitions, is there a fix I can perform from CWM SD or adb?
Edit: BTW, Lagfix also runs fstrim on /cache as well, I had forgotten.

If you had not replaced stock recovery with TWRP you could have done the 8 failed boot reset, but you cannot with TWRP. Also those TWRP backups are worthless because the TWRP emmc backup/restore is broken for the HD+.
You can try to repair the partitions with ADB when booted to CWM. First thing I would try is to DD the boot.img and recovery.img from your CWM backups. Boot.img goes to partition 4 and recovery.img goes to p3.

I've actually been wanting to put CWM instead of TWRP, but I've been nervous about messing with recovery since I had a problem doing that on an old Samsung. Man I wish I had just bit the bullet and re-flashed CWM.
I know how to DD, but repairing the partitions is a step above what I've done before. Is there a tutorial on how to do this? Thanks!
Edit: Wait maybe I don't know how to DD. cat proc/mtd gives an error. How do I identify what to backup?
Edit2: Nevermind, I knew I saw it somewhere and there it is in your tips thread. Sorry, my bad. I'll report back after I have done it.
Ok, I'm stuck, sorry. How do I get the boot.img from my PC to my Nook? CWM won't mount SDcard. Can I just push the file to /data and then restore it from there?
Edit: Fastboot doesn't seem to work in CWM recovery?

Ok, this is a stupid question but how do I tell if it worked? The HD still won't boot without CWM SD card and sdcard or EMMC doesn't mount in CWM SD. Reboot ot recovery in CWM SD, then removing SD card, still gives me "nook" start up screen hang.
Was /data able to take the *.img files? If so, would it be a good idea to push the cm 10.1 rom to it and try and do a full flash? That doesn't have a boot partition though, right?
Edit: BTW, /data was empty in adb shell (except for the 2 img files i pushed there). There was a "media" subdir but it was also empty.

Take the card out, boot holding the power and n key. It should try to boot to recovery. Which backup did you use, stock or one you did after the CM10.1 install?

The HD still doesn't boot at all without the CWM SD card in. Just black screen. I can get it to boot without the SD card only if I choose advanced->boot to recovery in CWM SD. Then it just hands at the "nook" screen (the one before Cyanogenmod boot universal boot should appear).
I *think* it was the one from CM 10.1 but I cannot be 100% sure. Its the last backup I did on the CWM SD, and I recall thinking that I should have a backup of CM 10.1 but sometimes I am an idiot and don't listen to myself.

no, putting the CM10.1 rom zip on /data will do no good. You can't get to it to flash it. And the cm zip does include the boot partition.
/data being empty means that data was wiped somehow.

It would be best if you could restore the boot and recovery from a stock backup. Then stock can try to repair itself.
Edit: if it will not turn on without the SD inserted, you may have also messed up xloader and bootloader partitions.

Ouch but /data loss is not too big, especially at this point. I just want to say you are awesome and thank you so much for helping me here! Anything I can do next? I am not sure what I could've done to wipe data. My HD was lagging a bit today but nothing serious. Just ran lagfix and it froze, but as soon as it froze I shut the Nook down.
Is it strange that I cannot mount EMMC? Is it possible that CWM is not seeing /data on EMMC but just a virtual /data?
Edit: Ok, will try to restore from stock imgs right now.
Ok these are definitely the stock boot and recovery CWM backup images:

Here's a strange thing. I was expecting to have to go into /data and delete the older boot.img and recovery.img before pushing the new ones. However, /data was empty again.
Ok stock img (I hope) were restored. HD will still not boot (black screen) :crying:. CWM SD advanced ->boot to recovery still hangs at "nook" boot screen the first time. The 2nd time, just black screen and now nothing but black screens.
More weirdness, I've had to plug the HD in and hold down the power button to get it to boot off the CWM SD card every time I take the CWM SD card out and try to boot without it. I just noticed that when I do this the charge light is green and stays green until CWM loads and then it turns amber.
Could this be a bootloader issue? Is there a way to restore that too?

Ok stock img (I hope) were restored. HD will still not boot (black screen) :crying:. CWM SD advanced ->boot to recovery still hangs at "nook" boot screen the first time. The 2nd time, just black screen and now nothing but black screens.
More weirdness, I've had to plug the HD in and hold down the power button to get it to boot off the CWM SD card every time I take the CWM SD card out and try to boot without it. I just noticed that when I do this the charge light is green and stays green until CWM loads and then it turns amber.
Could this be a bootloader issue? Is there a way to restore that too?

When you say black screen without the SD in, you mean it will not turn on?
It looks like the stock stuff took. I might be able to post my stock Xloader and bootloader img files for you. Hang on.

You could have a few things wrong. If you formatted /bootdata then it will only boot to recovery. Or you might be a victim of the emmc bug.
You need to tell us more how you got to this state.

was working fine Installed CM10.1 and tried going to 10.2 but something happened and all I could get was Nook HD+ booting to Recovery without external SD installed.
I tried several images , but the only one that would Boot is the Stock CM 6028 . and that is were it is at. the Screen reads what I posted first, except on Top it reads " SDCARD-based recovery v6.0.3.2 "
can this be done from were I'm at ?
6. Full HD/HDplus 2.1.1 Stock with Root
I now have full stock 2.1.1 rooted ROM zips. They can be flashed with the CWM above and have the verygreen boot.img that removes the /system file protection. They also are rooted and have superuser and busybox. Get the HD version of the rooted stock here or here and the HD+ version here or here. They can be flashed over whatever version you have. You can do it without any wiping so your installed apps and settings will remain intact. If you had previously flashed the new Enable Unknown Sources zip, that is a setting and should stick. But the ROM zips will replace your entire /system so any other zips you flashed here like Extras or swaps will be gone. After flashing this ROM, you will need to reflash any mods you want from this thread (except the new Enable Unknown Sources). ??

That is not my 6028 version for stock. That is verygreen's SD install version 6032. You had to have gotten that from his early7.1 zip.
When you tried to go to CM10.2, did you do any wiping? If so, what did you wipe?

You should be able to flash a plain stock zip. I recommend trying the 2.1.0 version.

You have really got your files mixed up. If you are using the sdcard 6032 CWM, that is why you got that error message. You are getting your files from the verygreen thread and that version expects sdcard to be somewhere else. Use my thread and use my 6028 CWM bootable SD.
You quoted my section 6 about the rooted 2.1.1. There is where you get the plain stock 2.1.0 I was suggesting. But verygreen's should work.

It is possible it is messed up. There was a discussion in verygreen's CM10.2 thread about trim and bricking emmc. In a post there I think he gave instructions on how to check emmc. Not fix it, but see if it was bricked.

Im having this same issue and at my wits end. I was running Slimbean 4.3 for a couple of weeks with no issues. Whatever happened, happened while the device was running, and not in recovery mode because I was at work at the time, and my daughters told me the nook just turned off. They dont do or know anything about recovery.
Needless to say, none of my nandroid saves will load. Leapinlar, I made an SD boot of your stock 2.1.0 image (using the older winmanager method because im more familiar with it), and it begin to flash, then get stuck halfway and shutdown. Then I reboot and Im stuck at the same CWM bootscreen, which continues to loop. I also tried the flashing the 2.1.1 with the same results. I followed your instructions in your CWM thread to the letter. What can I do?
ps-is there a way i can check for the emmc bug while Im stuck in recovery?
Help please
Soooooo, I have the same problem: recovery loop with CWM version 6.0.3.2
I was stock, and I was able to use the non-image-burn version of the sd-card method to put TWRP. This proved useless because I could not find any documentation on using it properly.
I then burned an image of 6028 and was able to boot right into recovery.
i then attempted an install of 10.1 and gapps .... this is the last time I would reach nook loading screen.
I have actively formatted nothing, though I attempted to install a different recovery
Errors i am receiving:
e: can't mount (volume(s))
installation aborted
internal memory replaces sd-card and sd-card replaces ext-sd.
also, according to "mounts and storage" there are three partitions that are, upon EACH reboot,
unmounted:
/bootdata
/system
/data
/wits
Please help me, this website is my only hope.

Hi all,
My Nook seems to have broken over night, more than likely the trim command was fired and broken my partition table.
I would return the item, but the Cyanogen Boot logo still appears. Is there anyway to remove it based on the nooks current bricked status?

If it shows that logo, it is not likely bricked by the trim command. Try making a bootable CWM per my HD/HD+ CWM thread and try flashing a plain stock zip from item 6.

Ive now tried different SD cards and both ways of creating a bootable sd card. but nothing works. I cant get past the cyanogen boot screen.
The TWRP image did boot but didnt get passed the splashscreen.
Any advice?

I have this EXACT same problem, I would love to find a way to get the cyanoboot splash screen to go away so I can get it exchanged for a new one.
Both of you only have two choices.
If you left stock recovery on internal before it screwed up, you can do the 8 failed boot procedure and it will reset itself to stock.
If you replaced stock recovery with CWM or TWRP, you must boot to it or a bootable CWM SD so you can flash the plain stock zip I have in item 6 in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. To get to your custom recovery on internal, power up from the powered off condition and hold both the power and n button simultaneously for 5-8 seconds. Then first release power and then a couple of seconds later the n key. It should show the cyanoboot logo followed by the recovery.
If you cannot do any of those things, you are screwed.

Looks like im screwed. It is strange though how the TWRP bootable image actually attempts to boot?
UPDATE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44797803&postcount=73
I tried this and have managed to boot into cwm.
I then noticed a error that kept repeating. E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
So I then did the following
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. mounts and storage > format /boot
4. mounts and storage > format /system
5. mounts and storage > format /data
6. mounts and storage > format /emmc
7. mounts and storage > format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
Alot of this did cause mounting problems. but I did notice I could mount /boot and browse sdcard from the "install zip" option. The only problem is the partion in the SD i can see isnt the partition that CWM can see.
I'm going to try and sideload the stock recovery using adb when I get in from work as I dont have the usb cable on me.
If you made a backup of stock prior to loading another ROM, you may have better luck restoring it than flashing the stock zip. That has been my experience. In addition to doing the restore, you may need to flash the stock recovery zip.

Well I couldnt get ADB to work with my tablet. So I couldnt sideload the stock emmc. So I then used "Paragon ExtFS for Windows" to copy the files to the other correct ext3 partition on the MicroSD.. I then booted into recovery and attempted to flash the zip. It didnt work, I recieved a error stating
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Looks like the nooks dead.
Out of the middle of nowhere my HD+ stopped booting and would stick on the "nook" screen could not get into recovery. Been running versions of CM for more than a year without any issues and was currently running the latest CM11. After trying several different versions of CWM, I found two that it would boot to recovery. Now the issue is that while it will boot to recovery, I get continuous errors that it can't mount anything. Can't mount cache, ext SD, or the internal SD. Also I cannot connect to it via the USB cable. I'm stuck! I cannot mount anything so therefore cannot recover. Can anyone help?

Try going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash stock recovery back to internal as described in item 5. Then try the 8 failed boot procedure by interrupting the boot by powering off 8 times in a row. See what that does.

I tried #5 already and I cannot flash as it say's that it cannot mount the SD card.
Tried the "8 times" trick and it still hung on the 9th boot.
The symptoms are the same as the emmc bug from a while back but I was not using the software that was causing that issue.
I was having power/charging issues that immediately proceeded the issue. The nook was draining unusually fast and was not charging as usual, I had several incomplete boots just prior to the issue but I several successful boots prior to this issue.
It is acting like the factory partitions are gone/corrupt.

If you use sdcard twrp recovery you can use the built in file explorer to check if your emmc is showing up normal or not. At least I would think that would be a good indicator instead of simply assuming the worst.
