[Q] How to reinstall stock backup - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Just boot CWM and go to backup and restore and choose restore.

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?

[Q] [Panic] HD+ stuck in bootloop HELP!

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?

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.

[Q] [Nook HD+] Reverting to Stock

Hello all,
I installed CM10.1 via this very useful post by verygreen. Now I have a need to revert to stock, for both the recovery and the ROM. Before installing CM10.1 I did make a CWM backup of stock using the bootable SD card created in that same thread. I have a couple of related questions:
When flashing that backup, will that flash stock recovery as well?
Do I need to boot with the SD card and use that version of CWM to restore the backup, or will any version of CWM work?
TIA!

It should restore it back to the exact state it was in when you made the backup. The recovery that you flashed when you set up CM should restore without an issue.

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.

Help looking for HD+ Factory Image

My nook hd+ is stuck in the cm10.1 bootloop
CWM says error mounting /data
I believe this is from doing a "format /data" when flashing a new rom, which I now believe I wasn't supposed to do..

The factory image is on a partition on emmc. But you will probably not find it. You were supposed to format /data. That is not the issue. You may be subject to the emmc bug.
You can try going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 6. It has a CWM flashable zip for stock.

I'll try that.
What happened was that I had an earlier version of cm10.1 from early July and I flashed the latest cm10.1.
Everything was working fine. So I rebooted into CWM to make a backup and deleted the old backup and rebooted.
That's when the bootloop started.
btw, thanks for helping me out.
I'm hoping that reverting back works!
Thanks Leapinlar!
My nook is back to cm10.1.
I followed your advice - after flashing the stock rom and several boots, the nook screen came up with a loading bar, I'm guessing to repair damaged files.
Then I went back to CWM, flashed cm10.1 and gapps, created a backup, and now my tablet is up and running.
Thanks again for you help

[Q] installing custom recovery after installing CM10.2

Hi,
I installed CM10.2 on my Nook HD+ but left the stock recovery on. I figured that it would help to reinstall the stock rom if something goes wrong.
Is there a way to install CM10.2 updates on my tablet without removing the stock recovery. The sdcard-based CWM worked on the stock rom but it no longer works on CM10.2. I have tried a couple of recoveries but none of them worked.
Do I have to install a custom recovery on EMMC to be able to do updates? If so, how can I install the custom recovery after installing 10.2?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just follow the "Make the CWM sd" guide from here .It works for the cm emmc install also.
Also why would you not flash custom recovery? If something goes wrong or if you want to go back to stock you could just flash the factory stock ROM from the cwm SD you made. You can get it from the same thread.

The same CWM SD you used to flash CM10.2 should still work with CM10.2 installed on emmc. You must have somehow modified the original SD. Try making the SD from scratch again. You can keep stock recovery on emmc if you want so that you can easily reset to stock if you want.
But once you have that SD working you can still flash the CWM or TWRP zip to emmc with it, along with the updated CM you wanted to install.
