My Nook HD+ 32GB will only boot into CWM, did I brick it?
Let me trace back the steps that got me into this mess:
1) I had CM10.1 running ok, and felt adventurous to try CM10.2 yesterday. I downloaded cm-10.2-20130904-NIGHTLY-ovation.zip from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=ovation, and installed ok.
2) Noticed Kindle app crashes as some people reported in CM10.2, also noticed that clock app stopped. So decided to go back to cm10.1.
3) Downloaded cm10.1.3-RC2 and installed it from CWM without wipe data (forgot that time, normally I do that step before install a ROM). After reboot, it hung at the Cyanogenmod circle.
4) So I booted with a SD card that was created from emmc-cwm-early2.1.img (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553), trying to reinstall cm10.1.3-RC2 into a clean slate, and being too brave, I went into the "mounts and storage" option, formatted all the partitions one by one, including /rom, /system, /bootdata, /mmc, /cache, /data. My guess is that I did too much damage at formatting.
5) Then I installed cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip first, then cm10.1.3-RC2 and gapps. The installation seemed ok. However, when I took out the SD card and reboot, I will see nook sign, then cyanoboot sign, then get into EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.3.2.
6) Tried to boot 8 times, does not seem to help, still can only boot into CWM.
7) Went into the "mounts and storage" option in CWM, noticed that only /cache and /data are mounted, and I don't see /rom partition listed. Without SD card in the nook, I can mount /bootdata and /system, mount /sdcard will report "Error mounting /sdcard!", mount /mmc will not report anything, but the status is still unmounted.
8) Fresh boot into CMW, and go into advanced -> show log, here is what I get:
Code:
net.bt.name=Android
net.change=net.bt.name
dalvik.vm.stack-trace-file=/data/anr/traces.txt
init.svc.ueventd=running
init.svc.recovery=running
service.adb.root=1
init.svc.adbd=running
I: Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found...
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
I:Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia
If I tried to mount /emmc first and come to show log, I noticed that there will be an extra line:
Code:
I: using /data/media for /emmc
before
Code:
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
I:Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia
If I tried to mount /sdcard first and come to show log, I noticed that there will be a few extra lines:
Code:
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (No such file or directory)
Error mounting /sdcard!
before
Code:
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
I:Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia
9) When reboot system now from CWM, it says "Root access is missing. Root device?" Choose yes or no does not change the effect that Nook HD only boots into ENNC CWM.
10) My problem bears some resemblance to what reported in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221289, but apparently different.
11) Before I find a fix, I was trying to use CM10.1 on SDCARD following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087988. I have a SanDisk 32G card (not recommended SanDisk U1 card), but after WIn32DiskImager wrote the image to the card, the partition is too smalll to even put the cm10.1 sdcard zip file on to it, and I don't think I have access to the internal sdcard right now. So running cm10.1 on sdcard won't work for me either.
Please help me find a solution, the preferred situation would be to running cm10.1 on emmc as I had before.
Hope I provided enough information for you to decipher the problem.
You should not have formatted /bootdata. And I don't think early 2.1 lets you format /rom, so I doubt you did that. Your only fix is to send me your serial number by PM and I will make a custom zip that will restore /bootdata.
Edit: ok, link with repair zip sent via PM.

It's working, thanks a bunch
Thank you very much. You are a life saver (Nook HD+'s life at least).
After flash your zip and reinstall the cm10.1 rom & gapps, I am back to cm10.1. Just need a bit more time to restore apps to my previous running state.
Noticed that there were some screen flickering when in system settings pages. A reboot seems makes it much better. Hope it will go away with time.
similar problem
I seem to have the same problem only I didn't go in and format all those partitions. But I installed the rc2 update and now all I get is the boot logo when I try to boot from stock emmc. Would the same thing work for me if I sent you my serial number?

No, my repair zip will not help if you did not format /bootdata.
Explain more what you did. You say you did the rc2 update, but to what? SD install or emmc?
And you say boot logo when trying to boot to stock emmc. You still have stock on emmc? That tells me you had CM10.1 on SD. And you flashed rc2? That is for emmc. And what does the boot logo look like? Describe it.

I allowed CM10 to initiate its own update supposedly on the SD card and the next thing I knew I couldn't access stick anymore. I tried the 8 failed boots a couple times to no avail, but on a whim I tried it again yesterday and suddenly it worked. I've got everything back the way I want it now.
Apparently I assumed that the update notice from cyanogenmod was for the OS I was actually running in hybrid mode. I won't make that assumption again.
I appreciate your time.
I think I brick my NOOK HD+ today by same way. I was using the CM10.2 and tried to flash CM10.1 RC2. First, I flashed the wrong CM rom to the NOOK HD+, so it won't start. After I noticed it. I tried to reset the whole thing and format everything one by one including /bootdata, /system, /cache, /emmc and /data. Now I know of course the NOOK won't start. I also tried to restore the NOOK HD+ by my backup of stock rom. All the flashing process went no problem, but the NOOK HD+ won't start. Now I can't see anything when I start the HD+ without SD card. The only thing I can do is boot by emmc CWM SD card. Do I still have hope? or the nook is gone....

Then it is possible you go bit by the emmc trim bug. Look at verygreen's CM10.2 thread to read about.
Edit: I see after re-reading your first post that you had the no boot problem before you formatted /bootdata. So the emmc brick issue sounds more like what is wrong.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
Thanks a lot for your help! Before I formated /bootdata, I messed up the NOOK HD+ by wrong CM package (cm-10.1.3-RC2-hummingbird). when I start the nook without SD, I still saw start picture and words for a few second, and then they would became blurred and screen turned black. After I format /bootdata, the screen has no reaction at all. For those eMMC brick issue, I didn't use any CM10.2 version before 8/15 nightly. I only used CM10.2 version after 8/30 nightly. Will it still trigger this bug?

You might try reflashing plain stock. That puts more boot files back on emmc than CM. You can get it at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature, item 6.
The reason I thought emmc bug was how it acted, not what you were running.
Edit: I'm curious, how did you manage to flash a hummingbird ROM zip to your ovation? That is not supposed to be possible because of safety assert statements in the ROM zip.

My HD is back!!! Your zip file is working. I tried the last time to restore my original rom backup. When reboot, I select 'no' to let the default bootloader to overwrite CWM, 'no' for root. And the HD+ is back to stock room!!!
Thanks a lot!!!

Ok, the reason you got it back was the stock ROM adds two more boot files than a restore would do.
You did not answer my question how you managed to successfully flash a hummingbird ROM to an ovation device. Did you toggle asserts by any chance?

Always boots into CWM...
I hit a similar issue today, where the Nook HD+ will only boot into CWM.
I was using an old 10.1 build, from June 30, 2013. I decided to upgrade because of the constant reboots.
I selected the 10.1.3 RC2 build. As usual, nandroid backup, wipe data/cache/dalvik, install ROM, install GAPPS.
I found this thread, and decided to go back to stock via item #6 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613 , as stated above. Wiped data and cache just in case.
Reboot into CWM continues.
An EMMC trim bug was mentioned above. Does this mean I have hit that issue? Is there recovery from it?

If you have the emmc trim bug there is no fixing it. But based on your description, I don't think you have it.
Did you flash the CWM to internal memory? And that is what it boots to, rather than a bootable SD? If so, you may have to PM me with your serial number and I will make a repair zip for you.
If you are booting CWM from SD, what happens if you take the SD out?

Thanks for the quick reply. I flashed to internal memory, yes. You question about where is it set to boot from made me realize my mistake. I left the bootable microSD card inserted, so it was defaulting to booting off of it. I spent some time in the corner thinking about it... sigh...
I re-flashed 10.1.3 RC2, GAPPS, and the recovery (was not sure at this point if I had rewritten it...), removed the microSD card, and it booted into CM without problems.
Thanks for your prompt offer to help leapinlar! Your insight was what I needed to notice the problem.
May I ask you if I can get the custom zip you made?

You messed up. Formatting /rom and /factory bricked your device. It needs those there to be able to boot normally. I'm not sure if it can be repaired. Ordinarily it can repair itself with stock recovery, but you replaced stock recovery with CWM and it needs /factory to to it.
I think you are hosed.
You might be able to boot to CM on SD someday, but not without significant manual repair first.

I just sent you a Private Message (PM) with a link for a customized repair zip. Flash that. Then try rebooting, it should boot to CM10.1 unless you wiped it out too. If you did, reflash the CM10.1 zip too.
And go to verygreen's thread and flash his newest emmc CWM (v2). It removes the ability to format /rom and /factory.

You do not have the same issue as the prior user since you did not format /rom and /factory.

I had no luck, as my step is:
- Put your file, CM10.1 emmc and gapps to sdcard, and insert to nook hd+ then power on, after it boot to cwm, i try to mount sdcard and install your file 2 times
- After install, i install again CM10.1 emmc of verygreen and gapps to, then reboot, it still go to CWM.
Any solutions leapinlar? Thank you very much

Explain more what you wiped, and how it behaves when booting.

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.

Thanks very much for your reply.
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.

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...

I will look at the zip to see if it needs to be modded and get back to you.
Edit: You were right, there was an assert error in the zip. Fixed in rev6 now.

Hi,
Ok that installed ok but still having issues: on boot all apps and processes crash (stop responding) when unlocking the nook if I clear cache in cwm it boots fine and I can see that the swap has occurred internal still shows 5gb but is actually my 32gb sd card. However I can't side load any apps I get an app not installed message even though unknown sources is ticked also as soon as I reboot the nook its back to square one and all the processes and apps crash.
I never saw any instructions for installing this i simply flashed from cwm recovery. Is there a set install order or process for this maybe I'm doing something wrong? I.e. does it need cm 10.2>sd swap>gapps all on initial flash? The only thing I can think is I'm installing the sd swap after I have installed a few apps

Remember this is a kludge, so everything does not work perfectly. I have found that sideloading apps from one of the SDs (I can't remember which) fails. Just copy the apk to the other one and try. And the setting storage shows wrong.
But I have not had apps and processes crash. If you have apps that were using internal for media storage, you may have to move their media files from internal to external. Like you say, you may want to start fresh with CM10.2, gapps and swap before you install any apps.

Hi,
ok I cant seem to get this working. I have a similar mod on my S3 which works perfectly. I have done the following:
1) Tried it WIth 10.1 RC3. Boot to recovery wiped data and cache flashed 10.1 RC2 > GAPPS > SDSWAP on boot the swap hasn't happened if I then reboot and flash the swap again and go into storage the calculating space hangs at calculating and no apps will open when you click on them.
2) as above but tried flashing 10.1 RC2 > SDSWAP >GAPPS exactly the same results as above.
So it doesn't seem to work with 10.1 or 10.2?
EDIT: This is driving me insane lol
Ok if I flash the cm 10.1 and SDSWAP then look at es file explorer the swap has worked and apps open ok SDCARD0 shows 29GB and SDCARD1 5GB but I have the same issue as with 10.2 if I try and install an .apk from SDCARD0 it opens and displays the app permissions as normal then as soon as you click install you get an app not installed message ? IF I copy the .apk to SDCARD1 (the internal) I get a problem parsing package error. So the swap works but I cant install any .apk's

I told you that settings/storage does not work. Why try it again and be surprised that it does not work?
And I just tested it again on the HD and install fails if you try from the real external SD. But it works from the internal SD. And I get no app crashes.
This is on the 7/08 CM10.1 from verygreen. I will now try on CM version.
Edit: I just updated to CM10.1 RC2 and it works the same.

I recently acquired a nook HD, and I immediately went on to install CM 10.1.
Things were fine and dandy until I loaded up about a quarter of my e-book collection (roughly 3gb's) on to my Nook.
I had placed them into the external 32gb SD I had, and when I checked the storage stats, Aldiko had imported them into the internal storage space.
Immediately after I searched up solutions, I found leapinlar's SD swap for CM 10.1/10.2.
I ran it but nothing happened.
I am currently running CM 10.1.3 RC-2
It is rooted.
My CWM version is stated to be "EMMC CWM-based recovery v. 6.0.3.2"
I've tried all of the SD swap zip files loaded onto all sorts of locations.
I have tried many permutations of installation ordering.
I've cleared data, repaired permissions countless times.
At this point, this today marks two weeks since I ventured into this endeavor.
And for the longest time, I have given in.
I made an account on this forum to ask this question; to shout a plea for help.
Prior to making an account, I scoured this forum looking for answers--I found very little in terms of helpful information.
Someone enlighten me on the exact steps and the details of how they got this swapping concept to work.
At this point, I am seriously contemplating on using this nook as a mirror.
Help Please.
Can you give me some details as to how it is acting? And what version of the swap zip are you flashing? What are you expecting it to do? Don't be flashing the other versions for stock, it will just be messing it up.

Right now, after I ran the "NookHD-HDplus-SDSwap-for-official-CM10.1-CM10.2-emmc-rev6-(090413), none of my apps work. None. It still boots regularly though.
My SD card was formatted into NTFS32 using SDFormatter with the full overwrite and etc.
I am expecting the internal SD and external SD's to be switched in file manager/ or on the computer.

Don't pay any attention to what settings, storage says, that is broken with this swap. Just see if it works. That is when you look at /sdcard do you see the external SD?
Edit: I guess I should say that in my instructions. Many get worried about that when it does not show right in settings.
