Hi all,
I've got a Nook HD+ running CM10.1 with the hybrid SD card installation (many thanks to everyone who helped develop this - it rocks! ),
and I'm having issues whenever I reboot the device.
When left alone, 9 times out of 10 it will just stay on the Cyanogenmod animation indefinitely (well 10 minutes is the most I've left it)....
It always seems to see the SD card as it never just reboots to stock (always see the Cyanogenmod boot logo) so I can get into CWM or boot the nook to stock.
The only way I seem to be able to get it to boot consistently is to boot into CWM is to re-flash the CM10.1 rom / load the converter zip and the reboot from CWM.
I've installed quick boot into CM10.1 but I've nat managed to get it to install into stock yet as I'm getting the 'Installation Blocked' message - So I'm guessing that I need to sideload that in from my PC (unless I'm missing an obvious way to install this via the stock Nook interface?)
Does everyone else have this issue?
It's not the end of the world as I'll probably only have to boot from cold if I have a crash, but it would be good to know if there are any more graceful solutions out there....?
Also, is there a way to get your PC (windows 7) to read the large partition on the SD card after it has been imaged (so you can write files to it directly)?
Thanks for you help
Macca
When it keeps getting stuck on the boot animation, try going to CWM and the advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache and see if it boots ok. If that does not work, just try flashing the converter without reflashing the CM.
To put quick boot on stock you need to root stock and add at least the extras zip so that unknown sources is authorized. But I recommend the whole gaps + extra zip. Quick boot will not work without root.
And no, there is no way for Windows to see the sdcard partition by directly inserting the card in the PC. You must leave the card in the Nook and use the USB cable.

Thanks for the quick reply mate,
I'll try just clearing the dalvik cache next time.
Thanks for clearing up the quick boot thing - I'll root the stock later tonight.
Cheers

Hello again mate,
I might need a little more help it would seem.......
I had read a reply you had posted in another thread that I should be able to just boot into CWM and flash the stock Nook ROM with your zips (even though I already have hybrid CM10.1 installed.
So - I did just that....
Before doing any of this I did do a backup in CWM
I downloaded "NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev2-(02.02.13).zip" and "NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras.zip" to my internal memory, booted into CWM and Flashed both zip files (universal root rev 2 first).
When I rebooted, I forgot to hold down the nook key to boot to stock and I ended up in CM10.1 but flashing the zips above seemed to have messed around with CM10.1 as I had no apps pinned and the dialogue box asking about which launcher I wanted popped up....?
So I went back into CWM did a restore and re-flashed CM10.1 / Converter.zip's and my CM10.1 installation is now back to normal.
However, it still looks like the stock is rooted as I get the launcher dialogue box and have assess to the google app store etc...
Quick boot still won't work though as it's saying that it can't detect that the device is rooted....
So, If you managed to make it through all that - What did I do wrong and how badly have I messed my nook up?
What do I need to do to successfully root my stock?
Thanks again for your help
Macca
I might have figured it out myself now...
I didn't remove the SD card from the nook after rooting stock before rebooting out of CWM.
I've just re-rooted stock, took the SD card out and then rebooted and it took me into the rooted stock without any issues (quick boot now works as well )
CM10.1 also seems to be happy so it looks like I'm golden (it booted 1st time after quick booting out of stock)
Cheers

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)

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.

I have carbon ROM installed. However the power menu and ROM manager options to reboot to recovery do not work. They just take me to the nook install failed screen. I like to mess with ROMs and I would love to must be able to install ROMs on the fly. I can get into recovery if in install my origal boot SD I used to get cwm into the device. Anyone have any advice for that?

It is booting to recovery, stock recovery.
If you want CWM or TWRP recovery internally, you must install them. Go to verygreen's emmc CM10.1 thread and he has flashable zips to put one on your internal memory, replacing stock recovery.
Or, as you said, you could just boot to your CWM SD that you used to install Carbon.

Guys, I tried to install the new stable 10.2 with the 10.2 SD image.
Guess it failed. Seems like CM 10.2 is now my stock, as Nook stock won't boot. Boot CM instead, but logo stuck.
Did this overwrite my EMMC?
It's now stuck at the CM logo.
What should I do next?

Sounds like you were wanting to run CM on SD. If that is the case you do not use ROM zips from CM. They are designed for emmc. You must use the ROM zips from verygreen's thread.
To fix your stock, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from item 6. If it still does not boot right, go back to CWM and do a factory reset.

I couldn't get the files to be Read from SDCARD because cwm didn't mount.
Anyways, other things happened after a Factory reset. I got CM 10.2 to work. Had no apps.
Luckily, I still had gapps on the internal EMMC.
After installing gapps for the second time it seems to work.
I still get the CWM SD booting, but it won't work anymore. How can I remove this old boot CWM for SD?
Thanks Again!

I was mistaken when I told you to flash plain stock and wipe with your existing SD. When you did the factory reset with your existing SD it wiped the SD data. That is why you had no apps. You need to make a new SD from my thread so that you can flash the plain stock and factory reset with that one. That will put stock back on internal. Use a different SD if you want to keep your CM10.2 bootable SD.

A CWM SD is bootable with a different CWM image. Problem is the remnants of an old CWM SD image changed the EMMC.
Without the SD Card I still see it boot, but you can't use it because no boot option. It's a left over from the CWM SD-Hybrid boot I used to flash ROM.
So the EMMC 10.2 boot isn't clean.
Thanks!

The problem is not only the CWM version that is on the SD, it is the ROM you were flashing. ROMs are hard coded to be put either on emmc or SD and it does not matter which CWM you use, it tries to put it on what is programmed to do. Now wiping is different. The CWM itself decides what is to be wiped, emmc or SD. That is why when you flashed that zip from the CM site with the CWM built for SD installs, it still put it on emmc instead of SD. But when you wiped, it wiped SD instead of emmc. That is why I told you to use a different SD with the CWM built for emmc to do the wiping of emmc.

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!

You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a and use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a system reset with CWM. That should get you going again and you can start over.

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+.
