So, I just got a HD+ and I was ready to try out CM10.1 emmc.
I got all the required files and such ready.
I booted into CWM sdcard, and I forgot to take a backup, and I flashed TWRP recovery. I rebooted and now when I remove the sd card, it's stuck in a boot loop.
The nook logo comes up, the screen dims after a few seconds, and then it reboots, and repeats forever.
I tried flashing stock recovery from another thread this file : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41392480&postcount=4
Still nothing.
I backed everything else up AFTER flashing recovery. So if I can just fix this, I can take a proper backup and proceed with the CM10.1 install.
Thanks
First off, if you are interested in using the emmc recovery for making backups and restores, don't use TWRP. That feature is broken in that version.
If you want to go back to stock first so you can back it up, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and get my plain stock 2.1.0 from item 6 and flash that with your bootable CWM SD. That will put everything back to stock, including recovery.
Then just start over again with your bootable CWM card. Backup, then flash the CWM emmc recovery, the CM10.1 zip and gapps, wipe data and reboot.

Nevermind, I just tried something and it worked. (Complete accident btw didn't know what I was doing)
I long pressed hom button while it was booting, and the Adobe disclaimer from the bottom dissapeared a blue bar started loading under the Nook logo. It loaded twice and then it booted up
Any idea what just happened?

Yes, you booted into stock recovery it repaired itself.

Oh, cool. Well it appears to have been factory reset, and it seems to have gone down to 2.0.0 or something (even though it came with 2.1.0 out of the box). Now it's running 2.0.6. It told me that 2.1.0 is available to update, and I started it. But it doesn't appear to be moving forward. Will come back on the status of that in a bit again.

Yes that is how it repairs itself. But it needs the stock recovery to do that. Once you put that back, it took over and proceeded to reset itself.
Just let it do its thing.

Sweet. Okay, I'm back to how it was when I first bought it. Going to put CM10.1 now.
Okay, so I need to take a backup first, then flash CWM, CM10.1, and then GApps. That's it right?

Okay, btw. I took the backup, and I selected reboot, before I proceeded with the flashing.
It asked me if I should flash stock recovery and if I should enable root access (I selected no for both as selecting yes was the cause of the problem before)

Why did you reboot?
You lost me on that last statement. What asked if you should enable root access? Something in stock?

Okay basically. I made two SD cards with CWM. One which I'll leave as a permanent backup card, and another with the other packages (it kept formatting to 856MB after I made it a bootable card no matter how big the actual card is, and so I couldnt fit both the backup and the CM10.1+Gapps zips on a single card)
I first made the backup on one card, and I hit reboot system, to swap it for the other one.
But when I pressed reboot, it asked me this:
ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes- Disable recovery flash
-No
-No
-No
I hit no.
Then it followed up with this:
Root access is missing. Root Device?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes - Root device (/system/xbin/su)
-No
-No
-No
I hit no for this too, since it didn't quite make sense.
So yeah. I'm pretty confused. Never ran into anything like that before on other devices.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 1a. There is a new procedure to make a bootable CWM SD on any size card. I suggest you use that. Then you have room for backups and zips. My card works equally well with verygreen's, but is bigger. You may have to use SDFormatter with size adjustment like I say in the thread to get your full size back from the verygreen SD.
Those CWM messages are harmless, just keep saying no. My cards give the first message, but I have never seen the second one before.

Thanks, I finished installing CM10.1.
But there seems to be a bit of lag. When I tried it with the SD card boot (not emmc), I assumed that it was slow because of the SD card. But it's the same even on this. Anyway to speed things up?

I'm in recovery bootloop hell!
I just received my Nook HD+ yesterday and immediately tried to root it using the Nook HD+ for dummies thread.
I used NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13) for my bootable SD card.
I added these files cm-10.1-20130630-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip
cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
(also used twrp on the first attempt but read about not being fully functional so I stopped using it)
I made a backup of the original ROM which I already registered with B&N.
Booted into CWM recovery and proceeded to wipe data/factory reset, flash cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip, cm-10.1-20130630-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip, and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip in that order. Eject sd card and reboot.
Now all I get is four reboots and it goes back to CMW recovery everytime. I can restore back to stock (thankfully) if I want to but I really want to get this working. You think my partition 2 is damaged and needs repair?
Any help will be deeply appreciated!

No, the partition 2 repair thing is for the Nook Color. I recommend redownloading the CM10.1 zip and try flashing again.

Stock revert for dummies!?
For those of us that are thick, could someone step us through the factory restore process?
Did the Android upgrade for my wife but she does not like it. She wants to revert back to Nook HD+ stock firmware!
Thanks in advance.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 6. Download plain stock 2.1.0 and flash it with the same CWM that you flashed CM10.1 with. Then do a factory reset with the same CWM. That should take you completely back to unregistered stock.

When you refer to CWM, do you mean the initial bootable CWM on the sd card or the CWM subsequently installed on the unit?
Can we load the stock firmware zip onto a blank sd card, reboot to the installed cwm recovery, wipe cache and do a factory reset, then use the 'install zip from sd card" option to flash the stock firmware?
After flashing the stock firmware zip, will it be completely stock (i.e. recovery, kernel, rom)? Thanks.

Either CWM is ok.
Yes to your second paragraph, but you do not need to wipe cache since the factory reset does that too.
And yes, if you flash that plain stock 2.1.0 and factory reset, it is completely stock. Your media files on internal memory remain though. If you want them gone too you must go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia' before you reboot.

So I rooted the nook hd+ and I'm trying to get it back to stock using CWM and the stock 2.1.1 zip supplied in this thread in section 6. The problem is, whenever I boot to CWM and try to install the .zip, I get this error:
"Failed to retouch '/system/lib/libemoji.so'"
I'm not sure what's causing this, and also if I go through the steps of just reinstalling the stock 2.1.1 ROOTED .zip in that same thread, it goes thorugh fine. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm basically just trying to get it back to a stock, unrooted form. Thank you,

Go to CWM mounts and storage and format /system before flashing the stock zip. That fixed it for me. If it does not, try the 2.1.0 version.

I gave that a try, it gives me the same error. It actually also says after that error "E: Error in sdcard/NookHDplus....file name" (Status 7)"
Is there something wrong with the file perhaps? Like I said if I run the rooted .zip, it goes through fine.
EDIT: I figured it out. To get it to go through I did it in the following steps:
- booted to CWM, formatted system and wiped data/factory reset
- rebooted to CWM, installed .zip
And it worked. I was doing all of those things, just not quite in that order. Thanks for the help, you do great work here.
Hi
I followed e.mote's great guide on [NOOK HD/HD+] Installing CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies.
Everything worked great and I did a backup. The files below:
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
cache.ext4.tar.a
data.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar.a
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
system.ext4.tar.a
How do I restore to the stock version with the backup?
Thanks

Leaplinlar, I accidentally installed the wrong ROM. I wanted to install to SD, but installed to the Nook itself. I didn't make a backup of the stock ROM, since I didn't plan to alter it. A factory restore brings me back to the CyanogenMod setup (which I don't recall ever seeing before). I assume I can use your stock cwm boot image, but I actually need to find out where to get the stock rom to begin with. Any thoughts?

My Nook HD+ keeps rebooting to my EMMC recovery (currently CWM 6.0.4.6) no matter what I try. It all started with a botched CM11 install from a while back. Since then I've tried installing CM11 M8 and CM10 RC2 through both the emmc recovery and the bootable sd card recovery. Even when the install goes smoothly, my Nook will just reboot back into whichever recovery I have installed.
Not sure what the problem is but would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

I got the similar problem on my nook hd (version : CM10.1). Someday, it automatically upgraded and i interrupt it, then a tragedy comes. It always get into cyanboot and recovery 6.0.4.6 when i rebooted. And i try flash newer CM, but it always reboot. Then i try many ways during several days.
When i just wanted to give up, the miracle showed. My nook was connected on PC with internet, the screen is stuck on cyanboot as usually. Then new screen pop up to ask me set language.
I quickly flash recovery, CM11 and google market. In this time, recovery 6.0.4.6 was worked but i didn't why and how. BUT when i reboot it, it still went into cyanboot and recovery 6.0.4.6. In recovery menu, i try advanced-->reboot to bootloader. Yes, i got into new CM11 :crying:
Now, although my nook get into recovery 6.0.4.6 when it rebooted, but tap advanced-->reboot to bootloader, which get 100% into CM11.
It really a tough work, and i still don't know how i solve it~~
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444630 for an explanation of one common (but not the only possible) cause of the "recovery boot loop" problem. Although it was written for the Nook Tablet, the same mechanism also applies to the Nook Color, Nook HD/HD+.
For the Nook Tablet (not HD/HD+), there is a flashable_fix_bootloop.zip created by XDA developer succulent (and posted at his Blog http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/) that can be flashed (using CWM/TWRP) to reset the two files BCB and BootCnt and thereby getting the NT out of the recovery boot loop condition; with a little tweak this tool can be adapted for use with another Nook device type such as HD or HD+.
