Need Help Unrooting to Store Factory - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased a Nook HD+ (16GB) for a great deal. It was rooted when I purchased it. But I wanted to restore it back to like if I just bought it from the store. It is going to be a gift for someone. Is there a tutorial or step by step for this?
Model Number : BN NookHD+
Cynagenmod Version: 10.2-20131119-Nightly-vation
Build Number: cm_ovation-userdebug 4.3.1 JLS36I
Please Help!

I also currently don't have an SD CARD. It looks like whoever rooted it just did everything on the main storage and not a SD

If you still have stock recovery on internal memory, you can do an 8 failed boot reset to take it back to stock. To do that, interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by hard powering off (hold power key for several seconds) as it boots. On the 9th boot let it continue and it should boot to stock recovery and reset itself. If it boots to CWM or TWRP recovery instead, you can use that to flash my plain stock zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and item 6 there.

I appreciate the reply! I'm new to this nook hd+ and it's been giving me a hard time.
I tried the 8 failed boot reset and on the 9th one it went to CWM.
So without an SD CARD ... What should I flash to get back to stock?

Now that you flashed that, try the 8 failed boot again.

Try getting into CWM by booting holding the power and n keys together for a few seconds, releasing the power button first followed by the n key. That should get you into the new CWM on internal memory. Then you can use that to factory reset to start CM11 fresh.
If that does not work, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and make a new bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 of that thread followed by a factory reset with CWM. That lets you start over like it came out of the box.
The 8 failed boot procedure did not work because you had replaced the stock recovery with CWM.

Hi, thank you for your guide, it helped me immensely.
I would ask there, I can't post in development subforums (yet), but would it be possible to get an updated version of the SD CWM Recovery that can install kitkat?
Thanks again.

Try using a different SD card if you can.
From what I've read, a 4GB Class4 card is the best. My 16GB will boot less than 1 in 20 times, but my 4GB boots 9 out of 10 times. Also, make sure you have marked the microSD partition as Active using a partition tool.
Fwiw, I got a class 4 sandisk 8gb card. Total noob to android. Booted first time and every time since. Only trouble I had was with win32diskimager. Not only did it not work, it hosed my windows 7 install. I used a program called sdimager instead.

That was because you were not paying attention to what drive win32diskimager automatically chose.

No, I never got to choosing anything. Ran it and nothing appeared to happen. No GUI came up. When I rebooted windows would not start. Had to do system repair.
I thought wtf did win32diskimager do that? Hard to believe. So I downloaded it again from sourceforge, scanned it with avast and malwarebytes, ran it again, same thing happened. OK, better find something else.

That is the way these newer HD+'s are. They can be very hard to boot to SD. There is a whole thread that discusses that. See here:

I had the same issue today, just put cm11 on it and it worked fine, during charging it changed to cyanoboot loading image and it just stuck there. I can not boot to CMW.
any luck? did you recover yours?
Also stuck on cyanoboot screen
Hi all, very similar situation - my Nook HD+ is completely bricked too.
Been a happy user of CM11 on Nook HD+ for about 4 months. I used the guide here to install it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796
Then one morning it would not boot - only showing "Nook" screen when powered up. I tried to reinstall CM11 but with no luck.
I created a bootable SD card with emmc-cwm-early3.img using dd command (dd if=img file of=/dev/sdc bs=1MB). When inserted, Nook would power up and go to Cyanoboot screen and but it would hang there
I went through 3 different SD cards (all type 4) and they are all same
I One interesting thing - I found sdcard-cwm-early9.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572. When I create SD card from it, it actually boots up to CWM screen, and it lets me go through various backup/restore options. However, the image only creates about 120MB of free space in SD card and I cannot place any zip files in it.
The reason for bringing out the last point is that it does seem that my Nook HD+ would boot up from SD card, but not with emmc-cmw-early3.img.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I'm having a very similar problem to yours suite800, only I was running rooted stock when it happened. Same thing though, normal boot freezes at the first Nook screen.
I've tried a number of different bootable SD images on a few different cards and all of them freeze on a screen with only the cyanoboot logo visible, with the exception of sdcard-cwm-early9.img. That image gets me to a cyanoboot menu but I can't do anything from there, if I select "Boot CWM Recovery" it just hangs on the cyanoboot screen with a message "Loading recovery from SD..."

Need help. Flash of stock recovery will not stick.

Hello folks. I got a Nook HD+ a few days ago. Made a CWM sd card and flashed emmc CWM. For some reason it didn't take. When I would reboot the stock recovery would still be there and the cyanoboot logo would not show.
I tried booting from a SD boot image and then using the newer method from a SD with only one fat32 partition with the boot files unzipped/unrared into it. It would boot into CWM fine from SD but would not flash into emmc.
After trying a bunch of other times I finally got emmc to flash. I think. The reason I say I think is because even though I would now see the cyanoboot logo but it wouldn't go past that.
I tried flashing back the stock recovery. Nothing. It wont stick. I'm not sure how to get into CWM if it really is in emmc. I also tried to flash CM but it will not flash either.
Please advise how I should progress from here.

How are you knowing it is not sticking? Are you trying to boot to emmc CWM by using the key combination? Hold power and n simultaneously when booting for a few seconds, releasing power first before it turns itself off, followed by the n key. It should boot to whichever recovery you have installed.

I'm turning the device on. I've tried holding the on and the n button while the nook logo is on the screen and when that didn't work once I see the cyanoboot logo on the screen. Both times of hold the power and the n button for roughly 7 seconds and then let go of the power button and then the n button. I've been asked if I want to test the nook to factory and haven't seen any other kind of menu. Certainly not CWM.

Update. Got into some sort of stock recovery. Immediately did some sort of reset. And booted into nook software. At this point it is back to normal. Time to pay attention and try to get cwm in it again.

I would suggest re-downloading the cwm file from the site to make sure you don't have a corrupted file.

I've done that. Checked the md5 on both the download and the sd card. It's still not sticking.

Removing Cyanogenmod 10.3 from Nook HD+?

Hey guys,
My Nook had charging issues that has made my Nook go haywire. I am going to RMAing my Nook so I need to return it back to stock before I send it back in. The bad news is - I cannot find the original microSD that I did the back up on! UGH!
I now have the new replacement Nook and my old Nook. Is there a way I can do this? I can run out and purchase a new microSD but I cant seem to find anything regarding going back to stock. I did find: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/52331-removing-cyanogen-from-nook-color/ but I am not sure whether this will work for me.
Any help would be fantastic!
Thanks!
You may not need an SD. Boot to internal recovery to see what is there. You can either do it with the CM reboot menu or use the key combo. Hold power and n while booting for a few seconds. Release power before it turns itself off followed by releasing n. It should boot to recovery.
If it boots to stock recovery it is easy to get stock back. Just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by powering off before boot completes. It should then reset to stock.
If it boots to CWM then go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and download the plain stock zip from item 6. Flash that followed by a factory reset.

Thanks so much Leapinlar! I was about to run through your CWM for dummies process to backup my replacement nook to restore to my old one! I just ran out to BestBuy to get another microSD to take of this!
So hopefully this all works well.
Thank you sir!
[EDIT]Thanks for the link to your stock ROM. It worked like a charm and now the unit is ready to go back![/EDIT]

Yeah microSD cards are cheap these days and they are so handy when flashing roms. I highly recommend keeping one around for any troubleshooting.

[Q] Bricked HD not plus(hummingbird)

so after about two weeks after moving i found my nook and went to charge it it boots up and is really sluggish but it boots into 10.2.1 cm i believe never updated farther but anyways so i reboot its doing the same so at this point im stumped so i figured i would reboot into recovery and just wipe the system clean i only hit wipe and factory reset like normal nothing else and installed 10.2.1 and then gapps as normal i go to reboot its stuck in a boot loop now i cant get it to boot wont mount external sd card the nook isnt recognized by my pc well atleast doesnt install drivers just says bn nook hd unless i make it take adb drivers in which case it shows me adb devices 0123456789abcdef in recovery i cant connect it wont allow me and i cant sideload i get error but i can still boot into cwm and it says at the bottom no file contents i can flash other recoverys which i have onmy internal sd card but it doesnt boot past cyanoboot screen which it does dim and go past that screen but it just stays blank so im kinda lost sorry for the lack of punctuation.
You are not bricked. You are in a recovery bootloop. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset. That will take you out of your recovery bootloop.
If you respond further, please use punctuation. It is very difficult to read your first post.

[Q] Nook HD+ mistake

I accidentally completely wiped my Nook in recovery without installing any other rom, because cm 11 had a problem installing. And then I turned it off. It doesn't seem to turn on at all. However, I can connect it to my PC and it reads the OMAP4770. Any way I can bring this tablet back? Or is it gone?
Also, I have tried every reset option I've seen online, like power and/or home button for amounts of time. I believe that since I lost the system files it won't start up.
Why don't you just follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 and make yourself a sd recovery and take it from there?
Don't worry you are not lost
It won't boot at all, let alone into recovery. Of course I did try to boot into recovery since that's what I used to wipe it. Did not work.
I completely erased everything in the tablet's memory, including /system. I could be wrong but I think that's why it won't show up with anything when it turns on. No light or logo.

I know that. But nothing boots now. I wiped it originally with my bootable sd. It won't load that anymore or anything else...
OK just tried different Bootable with CWM instead of TWRP and it booted up to it.
Thanks for the help people.
Now I'm still having issues with flashing CM 11 on it. Status 7 error.
I think that's because I don't have stock installed right?
Anyone know of a CM 11 zip for HD Plus that won't check for stock first?

No, that status 7 error is because CM11 needs version 6045 or newer CWM. Go to the dummies thread linked in my signature and follow post 7 there.

Thanks, upgraded from CWM 6028 to 6046 and it worked perfectly.
Thank you for the help and saving my tablet enough to let me breath new life into it.
