Noob SD card question - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I feel like an idiot, maybe I'm thinking too much, but I'm trying to put CM10.2 on my new nook hd+ as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411321
I'm relatively comfortable on the command line and have - ages ago - installed CM on other devices. I'm on a Mac with adb installed.
I've got CWM working and the SD is now partitioned (1st partition is FAT, apprx 150MB which I assume is CWM, 2nd partition that's 500MB, 3rd partition is the rest of the card (15.2GB)
Question: How do I get the the CM 10.2 .zip (and gapps .zip) on to the SD card?
I assume I'm supposed to get the .zip files onto the 3rd (data) partition of the SD card.
The 2nd & 3rd partitions won't mount on a mac (ext2 filesystem? that wouldn't mount on a windows box either, would it?)
I'm pretty sure if I use 'adb push' I'll be putting the files on /sd partition of the INTERNAL memory... or can I control where it goes from ADB?
advice?
Bonus points if you can answer me this:
the thread above links to a gapps .zip but the link is broken. Are gapps .zips device-specific? can I use any signed gapps for 4.3? Anyone got a link?

You do not put the CM and gapps zips on the SD. You put them on internal media storage. Then use the install zip from internal memory option in CWM.
And the gapps link was temporarily down but should work now.

Augh, I hate these noob questions, but I'm using adb push /example/file/on/my/computer.zip /sdcard (while CWM is loaded) and appears successful, but install zip from sdcard > choose .zip from internal sdcard shows nothing (shows standard file folders - Android | B&N Downloads | DCIM | My Files | Notifications | media... that's it)
Maybe I haven't rooted correctly?

Do not push it with ADB. Pushing to sdcard with adb puts it on the boot partition of the SD. Download the CM and gapps zip with stock to internal memory (/sdcard) or connect the USB while booted to stock and copy to internal memory using MTP and your file manager.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. Just like me to make it more difficult than it needed to be.
So... got it on the internal memory, chose the .zip and... installation aborted.

If I try (just to test card) 'choose zip from sdcard from within CWM it says
"E: Cant' mount /sdcard/"

Was there an error message along with that installation aborted message? Like assert failure?

Ignore that error. It is because the rom is not set up yet. What about that installation aborted error message?

No. Just "Installing Update..." then "Installation aborted." That's it. A little googling suggests my sd card isn't formatted right... wondering if it's an issue with imaging the SDcard from my mac? Re-imaged it, but no luck. Not sure what to try next.

Try redownloading the CM zip. And you did reboot first to make sure the partitions were set after reimaging?

By the way, I finally got everything worked out. About everything that could go wrong did (bad md5 on .zip, accidentally wiped partition just after I thought I'd installed it, etc.), but it works.

You don't have to change any default settings in mount storage in cwm. It'll not change any performance lag.
Get rid of the lag by a clean and proper flashing.
If you are using cwm5.5.0.4 you cannot install zip from ext sd card. Try a newer version of cwm for that.

You said your ext sd card is not recognizing in your laptop.? Then change it.
If you have a Rom file already in internal sd card, flash it properly. Do a full data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. Then flash the zip, flash gapps.

One alternative if you don't have a file in internal sd card and you can't get an ext sd card at the moment, try push the ROM file via adb.

You could have a few things wrong. If you formatted /bootdata then it will only boot to recovery. Or you might be a victim of the emmc bug.
You need to tell us more how you got to this state.

was working fine Installed CM10.1 and tried going to 10.2 but something happened and all I could get was Nook HD+ booting to Recovery without external SD installed.
I tried several images , but the only one that would Boot is the Stock CM 6028 . and that is were it is at. the Screen reads what I posted first, except on Top it reads " SDCARD-based recovery v6.0.3.2 "
can this be done from were I'm at ?
6. Full HD/HDplus 2.1.1 Stock with Root
I now have full stock 2.1.1 rooted ROM zips. They can be flashed with the CWM above and have the verygreen boot.img that removes the /system file protection. They also are rooted and have superuser and busybox. Get the HD version of the rooted stock here or here and the HD+ version here or here. They can be flashed over whatever version you have. You can do it without any wiping so your installed apps and settings will remain intact. If you had previously flashed the new Enable Unknown Sources zip, that is a setting and should stick. But the ROM zips will replace your entire /system so any other zips you flashed here like Extras or swaps will be gone. After flashing this ROM, you will need to reflash any mods you want from this thread (except the new Enable Unknown Sources). ??

That is not my 6028 version for stock. That is verygreen's SD install version 6032. You had to have gotten that from his early7.1 zip.
When you tried to go to CM10.2, did you do any wiping? If so, what did you wipe?

But you did not wipe/format /bootdata?
You should be able to flash a plain stock zip. I recommend trying the 2.1.0 version.

You have really got your files mixed up. If you are using the sdcard 6032 CWM, that is why you got that error message. You are getting your files from the verygreen thread and that version expects sdcard to be somewhere else. Use my thread and use my 6028 CWM bootable SD.
You quoted my section 6 about the rooted 2.1.1. There is where you get the plain stock 2.1.0 I was suggesting. But verygreen's should work.

It is possible it is messed up. There was a discussion in verygreen's CM10.2 thread about trim and bricking emmc. In a post there I think he gave instructions on how to check emmc. Not fix it, but see if it was bricked.

Im having this same issue and at my wits end. I was running Slimbean 4.3 for a couple of weeks with no issues. Whatever happened, happened while the device was running, and not in recovery mode because I was at work at the time, and my daughters told me the nook just turned off. They dont do or know anything about recovery.
Needless to say, none of my nandroid saves will load. Leapinlar, I made an SD boot of your stock 2.1.0 image (using the older winmanager method because im more familiar with it), and it begin to flash, then get stuck halfway and shutdown. Then I reboot and Im stuck at the same CWM bootscreen, which continues to loop. I also tried the flashing the 2.1.1 with the same results. I followed your instructions in your CWM thread to the letter. What can I do?
ps-is there a way i can check for the emmc bug while Im stuck in recovery?
Help please
Soooooo, I have the same problem: recovery loop with CWM version 6.0.3.2
I was stock, and I was able to use the non-image-burn version of the sd-card method to put TWRP. This proved useless because I could not find any documentation on using it properly.
I then burned an image of 6028 and was able to boot right into recovery.
i then attempted an install of 10.1 and gapps .... this is the last time I would reach nook loading screen.
I have actively formatted nothing, though I attempted to install a different recovery
Errors i am receiving:
e: can't mount (volume(s))
installation aborted
internal memory replaces sd-card and sd-card replaces ext-sd.
also, according to "mounts and storage" there are three partitions that are, upon EACH reboot,
unmounted:
/bootdata
/system
/data
/wits
Please help me, this website is my only hope.

[q] nook hd+ flashing failed

Hi guys so i was transferring movies to my nook, after that was done i removed the cable and my nook entered into a boot loop. Not being able to find my CWM backup i therefore decided to make a fresh install, i formatted my internal storage,cache and data. I loaded my ROM to my external sd card and booted to CWM, when i try to flash it brings up an error: E: Cant open /sdcard/Xperia-2.3.9-CARBON-JB-B11=-ovation.zip (bad) Installation aborted.
It gives this error for every ROM i try. Somehow i managed to find my CWM backup but when i try to restore it, it says: MD5 mismatch......Can anybody help?

When it says bad that usually means a bad download. And md5 mismatch means the backup is corrupted. Try using a different PC for downloads. Your antivirus software may be corrupting things.

i dont think so, i have tried three diffrent laptops it still failed. I got the problem solved by writing a cwm boot image to my 2GB SD that allows you to run a bootable version of stock rom v2.1.1......i booted via the sd and with a custom rom loaded on my sd i flahed and it worked no problems same applies with gapps. When i boot into my rom under storage settings it shows my emmc as "read only", am not sure if this is what caused the initial problem. Maybe changing the emmc permissions with ES file manager to both read and write will fix the initial problem as booting via emmc and attempting a flash still fails, however it works while the sd is inserted and flashing via TWRP which is installed on my emmc.

[Q] Urgent Help required - Not able to locate update zip in Stock Recovery

Greetings,
Unable to find the flashable update zip file from stock recovery 3e which exists on my sdcard.
I need to install CWM recovery and flash cocore kernel and root. I did this earlier countless times.
I am on stock XXLQL 4.1.2 Italy FW. Just FYI, a couple of days back I had flashed HarshJelly 4.
Below are the options in stock recovery <3e> -
1. reboot system now
2. apply update from ADB
3. apply update from external storage
4. wipe data/factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. apply update from cache
When I select 3rd option, I cannot see the update.zip or any other file which is in my sdcard (internal storage). I just see below –
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
../
Added information is, when I go to root of the phone with Solid explorer, I can see below relevant directories –
sdcard <this is a symlink for /storage/sdcard0>
storage <inside this there is sdcard0 dir>
Inside storage there is sdcard0. And when I access the same directory by either ways (clicked symlink OR went is storage/sdcard0), I could see all my flashable files over there.
I already read something about this being related to 4.2 JB version. However, did not find any confirmed resolution or workaround on any forum.
I have already tried -
1) formatting of internal storage (sdcard0) and external storage (memory card) from phone settings -> storage -> Format USB storage AND Format SD card.
2) That didn’t work hence, I tried formatting my ext card (referred some XDA link) from PC with all - FAT32, NTFS and something like ext.... Still no luck.
3) Downloading zip files again to ensure they are not currupted.
Please note that I can copy data to both storages, hence I think my storage doesn’t look like corrupted.
It will be a great help if you can guide me to resolve this issue. :fingers-crossed:

I have already kept the update.zip in both internal and external sdcards (/storage/extSdCard/ and /storage/sdcard0/). Missed to mention that.
However, could you please confirm on this as the symlink /sdcard in the root is for /storage/sdcard0 which is internal sdcard.

(Q) Semi Bricked Nook HD+

Hello,
my mess started after I flashed [Nook HD/HD+][SD Install][4.4] CM11.0/SGT7 (KitKat) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583952, after i had CM 10.2 running stable for some while.

Booting up from SD in goes into recovery showing:

So there is probably something wrong with the partioning of my NookHD+'s emmc, right? Is there a way to repartition my Nook by the likes of Item 16 in your "[USER Tips] HD/HD+ Stock Root User Tips" Thread.
I've tried so far:
Flashing Plain-Stock ROM, Stock revovery, and leapinlar's (who has been a great help) FIX.zip for bricked devices.
I would be very grateful, if s.o. could maybe help me.
Best regards!
My repair zip should have fixed that missing /bootdata/BCB. And those three I: messages are not errors, but information messages which are normal. So there is nothing there saying you have messed up partitions.
You said you had CM11 on SD. Are you still using the CWM SD from that install or are you using the bootable CWM from my thread?

I have used both, and both are booting, also used TWRP 2.6..but only when using CWM-based recovery for CM 11.0 v 6.0.4.5, I get the "/bootdata/BCB missing. Running recovery." message. Always have, since problem exists, even before contacting you, because i formated everything.
When using TWRP 2.6 to install any zip I get:
E:Unable to find parition size for '/recovery'
E:Unable to find parition size for '/boot'
E:Unkown File System: 'datamedia'
and yes, it says parition instead partition.
When installing your repair-emmc-bootdata.zip or stock-recovery.zip it goes through as "Successful".
Installing 2.2.0-plain-stock.zip ends with
Random offset: 0x28x (SOMETIMES OTHER NUMBER)
Boot files...
Boot files...
TWRP states 27070 MB Internal Storage.

thats a real bummer, coming from THE nook expert. Does the offset notification tell you anything? I tried installing plain-stock, stock-recovery, repair bootdata with your SD CWM again, with the same results, as with TWRP.
Guess I have bury my Nook, and just get a Nexus 7.
To Bad

No, those messages from the plain stock zip are completely normal. Those TWRP messages sound suspicious though.

Please tell if your Repair ZIP will work for my problem and from where I can get it.
my NOOK HD+ I have CMW 10.2.1 with 6.0.4.6 recovery. Nook went to loop while booting. Now I can go to recovery and able to boot SD recovery CMW 6.0.2.8. But issue is:-
1. For any update even for Stock ROM it gives status 7 error.
2. With system recovery 6.0.4.6 when I try factory reset the TAB reboot same happen when i try to format DATA. While factory reset and DATA format happens with 6.0.2.8 position remains same.
3. When I try to make backup on internal storage both with 6.0.4.6 (TAB recovery) or 6.0.2.8 (From SD card) it makes boot,recovery and system image but give error as failed to backup /DATA.
4. I have done every thing right from various and latest ROM's ( error Status 7), Formatting boot,system but 6.0.4.6 on NOOK is intact and is in loop.
Please tell How I can over come this STATUS 7 error or DATA backup error.
thanks.
