Enteranl Boot Loop on HD+ - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to put this out there and see if anyone had any suggestions for a etneral loop Nook HD+
OK, so THe Nook HD+ SEEMS to charge fine (plug into wall ligbht goes green then orange then green again much later).
I plug it into a computer (windows 7) and it goes "Burrrip" but I can;t see it in the devices.
I have treid the hard reset (holding the power and "n" key for 20 to 30 seconds and then trying to restart but nothing.
The Nook just hangson the initial boot screen (white nook on a blck background).
Does anyone think that I might be able to get it to boot from SD? Just curious if the boot from SD would occur after where it is hanging or if it might work.
If the SD might work...what is the best option. Stock ROM would be fine.
Thanks for any help.
I know there are a few threads dedicated to SD cards, mainly seeing if it is worth the time to play.
Thanks.!

Yes, it should boot to a bootable SD. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then flash one of the plain stock zips I have in item 6. Also do a factory reset with the CWM.

Thanks. I will try that. Glad to hear it is not hopeless.

Still not working
I made the card per your instructions and it seemed to go fine. I placed it in the HD+ and turned it on and nothing. Now, I have a Lexar 6 card. Will that matter? I have seen where most people say to use 4s. Just happen to have that one on hand. Do you notice any better success when you burn an image as oppsed to the "new" method?
Just curious. Any other tips or tircks you can offer? What about opening it up and disconnecting the battery and letting it fully poser down?
Hoping it is not just bricked.
Thanks for the help.

Another card could help. And either method of making the card can work. Usually best to try one and if it does not work, try the other.

16gb nook color

So I am on my 4th nook. One for me, for my son, father and now i've aquired a 16gb for my wife. I have the original bootable sd card that i've used on all the other ones (successfully) to install cm10 alpha 1.
I've tried doing everything that i've done on the other ones, but i CANNOT get the 16gb to boot into recovery. i've tried the three finger reboot, i've tried restarting it 7 times, and i just cannot get it to boot into recovery / into the flash menu.
thoughts?
You are talking about a Nook Tablet, go here and try to set up CM10.1 on a SD card there.
Edit: Better link that goes directly to SD boot post
Sounds like a nook tablet, not a nook color. The same ROMs and recovery won't work

[HELP] Nook HD+ will not boot from EMMC or SD card

Hey guys,
So I've had my nook HD+ for a few months and have been running various roms on it for a while. Most recently I've had the latest Slimbean rom on it for about a week, Yesterday I went to use it after it had been charging all night and found it to be off. When I turn it on, it will just sit at the initial nook screen or get to the cyanoboot splash screen and just sit. I cannot boot into EMMC TWRP as it does the same thing. When I try to boot TWRP from an SD card it will get to the TWRP splash screen and just sit there without actually getting into the recovery, and if I try to boot a CWM SD card it will just sit at the cyanoboot splash screen. Is there something I can do to fix it or is my device bricked? And if it is bricked is there any way I could go about getting it replaced with the warranty as it currently and obviously has a custom rom on it.
Thanks for any help you can give me guys.

Did you try to boot to your internal TWRP but holding the n key and power key together from a power off situation? Be sure to release the power key after a few seconds so that it does not power itself back off.

I had one that I had used previously that I had written over and used for other things, I remade the bootable SD on that one and it didn't work. I also tried making 2 other bootable SDs following both methods (new and old) of the guide in this thread. My HD+ has never had a problem booting from bootable SDs before this happened, aside from taking a few reboots to actually get it to boot which I have read is common.

Since you have a custom ROM and a custom recovery on internal, it is hard to tell if the SDs are booting or not. Both cases look the same on the screen. I would bet they are not booting and it is always trying to boot to internal.

Well I can tell that the bootable TWRP SD card is at least trying to boot, as by just turning on the nook with that card in and not pressing the n button or anything will get it to the TWRP splash screen before it gets to the actual usable recovery screen. If i try to boot into the internal TWRP via n+power, it will either sit at the nook screen or the cyanoboot screen. I don't know if the CWM SD card that I tried was not working at all or just locking up on its own SD cyanoboot screen. Does that help at all?

I don't use TWRP so I don't know much about it. But both TWRP and CWM expect a working /cache partition on emmc. So that may be the issue. But unfortunately since you replaced stock recovery with TWRP, it cannot repair itself with the 8 failed boot procedure. You have to get an SD to boot to fix anything.

Alright, so I finally got a working CWM SD card using the img from this thread. Now when I boot into it it says:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Then when I try to choose a zip from the sd card to flash stock recovery, it says E:Can't mount /sdcard/
Any ideas? Thanks so much for the help by the way!

Yes the issue is that CWM is for installing CM to SD. That one will not find /sdcard because it is emulated and only is available after the ROM is installed.
You need to get a CWM working that is meant for installing things to emmc.
And those can't find /cache messages are worrisome.

Yeah I've tried the TWRPs from your thread, I got verygreen's one from this page to boot with his alternate uImage further down the page. In there is says that I can push the stock recovery to the emulated SD card via ADB and install it from there. Problem is that I can't get the adb drivers to install while in CWM. Any thoughts?

I think your emmc is borked, not allowing those SDs made for emmc installs to boot. Those /cache errors are telling. And since you have other than stock on there and it partially boots showing that, I think you are stuck.
I think your only recourse is to put the no-emmc version on SD and run it that way. Go to the verygreen thread just before the last one I pointed to and try getting a ROM to run on it. I know nothing about that so if you have trouble, ask in that thread.

I do have the faulty chip, although its the rev6 version. I have tried my best to avoid running any trim enabled kernels. I don't know if Slimbean has trim enabled, I asked a couple times in the thread and never got a response, so I figured I'd try it and with the number of people using it I figured that it was disabled since I hadn't seen anyone having any trouble with it.

help! wont turn on or go into recovery

I can't seem to get my nook he plus to turn on after I try to do a hard reboot I get a small green and purple square in the middle of screen that stays for like 5 seconds then it just turns off .any ideas?
i have the same thing happening to me. i did get it to show the nook logo, then black screen for a second, then cyanogenmod then reboot.
i only got it to do that after having it charge for 3 hours.
i swear i will have EVERYTHING password protected from now on, since some little nephew of mine was monkeying around with it before it started this.

What you are seeing is the nook trying to repair itself with stock recovery (it is going into recovery, stock recovery). It is apparently not successful in completing the repair.
Have you tried a bootable CWM SD? Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature to make one.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset with CWM. You will be back to pure stock.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
So if I am reading item 1a correctly to make the cwm sdcard, us the Mini-Tool Partition Wizard and set the only partition there to active. And then copy the NookHDplus-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock zip to the sd card. And then boot up the Nook and install zip from sd card? And thats it? I should be back to stock??
Thank you so so so much!! You were so right I am back on stock and now my wife wont make me sleep on the couch anymore. I cant thank you enough. Thanks for being so patient with such a noob like me. From now on I'll check with you guys before I do anything to any of my android devices. Youre the best leapinlar !!!! Thank you so much!!!

My device is rooted and in CM 11 but I can't get into recovery mode. I try doing it manually and using rom manager. It just opens up my nook recovery that says use the home button to delete all data or the power button to exit.
How do I fix this and enter CWM recovery mode?

You have not installed CWM recovery. What you are seeing is stock recovery. To install CWM recovery, go to my dummies guide for the HD/HD+ linked in my signature and follow post 7 there. It tells you how to install cm11 but also tells you how to install CWM recovery.

Go in developer option. check advance reebot. Hold the power button> Reboot>Recovery
Else while booting as soon as it display nook logo hold power button and "n" button for 4 seconds and leave. It must take you to recovery.
Guys i am facing the same problem.. i had a proper working recovery but i did a factory reset and tinkered here and there and now my tablet is rooted ie it goes from displaying cyanogenmod bootlogo to the screen but all the data is gone.. secondly i cannot reboot into recovery anymore.. all it does is restart or flash a screen regarding factory reset with yes and no options.. i tried installing the OTA update of CM11 thinking it might be able to install the recovery as it shows my device is rooted and everything. but it just said installation failed and rebooted and it wasnt in the blue coloured cwm recovery font.. i think i have messed up on the recovery internally.. i wasnt using any sd cards to flash new roms on the device and have lost the original card.. Kindly help me with a details because i tried creating a sd card again with all the files as per the dummies guide but it still goes straight onto the lockscreen without entering the recovery like it should.. :crying:

You still have stock recovery on internal memory. In order to get anything working you must make the bootable sd per the instructions in the dummies thread. And you must make it work. If you want to go back to pure stock, just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by powering down be for it gets to recovery or the cm11 rom. On the 9th boot let it go and it will reset itself and you can start over.

Thank you soo much.. I have been able to restore the nook to the stock rom after rebooting it multiple times.. Much Obliged sir..
I have been able to revert to stock but i cannot enter into cwm recovery still..
I have a 8gb sd i used sdformatter to format the card then used EaseUs partition and right clicked E: and selected make active.
After that i unzipped the NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-BOOTFILES-r4-(05.15.13).rar and first copied Mlo file then other 4 files from desktop folder to sd card. Then copied NookHD-CWM-6036-for-internal-memory-rev2-(03-08-14).zip, Cm 10.1 and gapps onto the sdcard and put that card into nook and booted it up. tried multiple times but still it goes straight to the nook boot screen with the percentage bar without going to cwm recovery like it should.. Also the power home volume combo just gives the factory reset option like before. Am i doing something wrong? please advise..

Do you have an HD or an hd+? You got the files for hd+ for the bootfiles and the hd version for cwm. I suspect that you have the HD and that is why it won't boot with the hd+ bootfiles
