Really screwed my Nook HD+ up - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running cm10.2 nightlies. I tried to go to carbon and it was having some issues with boot looping. I tried to reinstall cwm recovery to emmc off of my sd card being I had changed to twrp. Now it wont boot from sd card and is still on twrp but wont let me install any zips. it gives me error with zip signature. Now it just boots to twrp everytime and wont go to anything even after I tried to restore to 10.2 nigtlies that I had backed up in twrp. How can i get this thing back to a clean slate and start over?

You can turn off signature verification in TWRP. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and try to flash one of my plain stock zips from item 6. That should restore everything. Be sure to factory reset with TWRP too before you reboot.

I used your stock zips and fixed it. But I'm still having original problem which is reboots and sleep of death. I'm going to flash 10.1.3 stable and gapps no apps and run for a day and see if its a third party app. What do u suggest.

Just do what you did earlier, flash the stock zip. Also do a factory reset with your custom recovery.
And doing what you suggested earlier about not installing apps right away is a good idea. Many have said maps and having GPS checked can be a problem.

OK did that still no good. I ran log cat and I can't tell why it died from it. How do I get rid of everything to send it back to stock. I may start from scratch. If I can get it to boot to sdcard. That don't work either now

I just told you twice. Flash the plain stock zip and factory reset.
But if your CWM SD will not boot, you need to try one of the options below.
If you flashed the custom recovery, power on with the power button and n button. Release after about 7 seconds. Should boot to that custom recovery and you can flash the plain stock zip.
If you did not flash a custom recovery, just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row and it will completely reset.

In TWRP you can only partition the SD, not internal memory. That is why your SD will not boot any more. Send me your serial number via Private Message and I will make a custom zip for you to flash. You also need to make a new bootable CWM SD since you repartitioned the old one.

[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.

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.

Stuck in bootloop, ROM running from SD

I have a Nook HD+ that suffers from the emmc bug, so I'm trying to load a rom into the sd card.
I tried burning several recovery images but only one booted properly(early 7) others went to emmc recovery directly(dunno why).
When I finally got into recovery I adbed ROM and Gaps into the tablet, then flashed them, upon reboot i always happened to go back to recovery, so I replaced uImage(i tried 2) in the SD Card with one that i found on xda, now after reboot I did see the boot animation, but it is shifted to the right and stuck in a boot loop.
What did I do wrong?

It boots into emmc recovery but I get a lot of "Can't mount" errors. I got this nook from a friend a few days ago, thought I'd fix it up somehow to boot it up from sdcard.
Do you think that I have a chance of booting from internal memory since Emmc recovery works?

Put that stock recovery on it and see what it does. It is trying to repair itself by trying to boot to stock recovery. It cannot get worse than it is. You can use that early 7 SD to flash it.

Did you boot without the SD in after flashing? If so, what did it do?
Booting only to the early 7 SD is normal with a messed up emmc.
You need to start the SD burning again after formatting it with SDFormatter. Do not change any files on it after flashing the ROM.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
I erased it with SDFormatter then used disk imager to flash the image on the sdcard, I am still getting the same results for this recovery in particular(which was recommended by verygreen for his dead emmc work ouround).
Basically after I boot the tablet, the recovery logo shows up longer than usual, then the recovery shwos up with EMMC RECOVERY written on the top left of the screen. But this emmc recovery is different than the one that usually shows up when I boot without the sd card, same names but the UI has a slightly differnet layout.
This is so weird, what should I do? I really want to get this tab working

Not sure you answered my question. It did not boot to stock recovery when you booted without the SD inserted? Stock recovery looks entirely different than CWM. Just a nook screen. It should not have a cyanoboot screen (is that what you are calling the recovery logo?). And it should try to automatically repair itself.
And if you want to install verygreen's noemmc ROM on SD you MUST use his image from that post. And do not change any files.

I'm running into the same issue - recovery bootloop in CWM.
As per the instructions in this thread, I flashed stock recovery but I still got the Cyanoboot logo when rebooting and I also tried flashing your rooted stock 2.1.1 but it got stuck at 99% when rebooting to stock ROM.
Any suggestions ? Should I do a hard reset ?

[Q] Unable to turn on HD+ when trying to upgrade CM11

I try to upgrate to cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-ovation (directly frome Nook) today but it always fails, saying (status 7) installation aborted. I tried reboot system and recovery several times but they didn't work. So I just gave up and wiped data to turn to factory setting. Now I can't wake my device up with power on, after showing cyanoboot, it just truns black.
Don't know what to do now QAQ.
You probably used an old version of CWM to flash the CM11 zip. It requires v6045 or newer. And wiping data does not return it to stock. You must flash the stock ROM. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and get the stock ROM zip from item 6.

I see~ I think I rewrote my SDcard last month, so SDcard works. And maybe I didn't do the recovery when upgrading at the first time, which leads to the following failure.

the nook hd is used by my five year old and i heard her saying i am going to wipe minecraft
didnt think anything of it and tonight i powered up the nook and it has gone back to completely stock firmware

I'm not sure what you mean by the permanent sd card method. Do you mean using an sd card to install CM permanently to internal memory? If that is what you meant and you did not install CWM to internal memory, then it is possible that she did something to make it fail on boot and keep trying and the 8 failed boot procedure would kick in and reset the device to stock. The 8 failed boot reset fails if you have CWM on internal memory.

If that is what you meant and you did not install CWM to internal memory, then it is possible that she did something to make it fail on boot and keep trying and the 8 failed boot procedure would kick in and reset the device to stock. The 8 failed boot reset fails if you have CWM on internal memory.

hi
i used this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
didnt know about the 8 failed boot method , the nook was the wrong way round in the case and everytime it booted the power button was shutting it off
so it looks like its gone back to stock that way
ah i understand now , re reading the guide the cwm doesnt get installed to the internal memory only stays on the sd card
pretty handy for people wanting to get back to stock easily

If you read the guide carefully you will see that CWM does get installed on internal memory. It says to download and install three files and one of those three is CWM for internal.
