I flashed my HD+ with CM10.1 a few days ago, and as far as I can tell, it's working fine.
One question though: When the device boots up, I see the Cyanoboot screen for a few seconds, then it goes into the spinning Cyanogen circle.
While it's on the Cyanoboot screen, it just displays the logo; no menu or anything else. Is this normal? With my older Nook tablet, the Cyanoboot screen says "Hold "n" for menu" and if you press the "n" (home) button, you get a menu allowing you to select recovery or alternate boots. On my Nook HD+, there's no menu option, and pressing "n" does nothing during boot up.
Is this normal? If so, how do you force a reboot into recovery?
If it's not normal, how can I go about repairing the Cyanoboot bootstrapping process?
That is normal for the HD/HD+. There is no menu built into cyanoboot for them.
To get to internal recovery (if you installed it), use the power off menu or key combos to get there. It is a long story to make either work.
While powering on, hold power and n simultaneously during first power up for 5-8 seconds, followed by first releasing power then n. If you hold power too long it will turn itself back off.
For the power off menu, activate developer options by tapping the build number several times in settings, about tablet. Then go to developer options and put a check in the advanced boot menu checkbox. That allows you to select boot to recovery in the power off menu.
Whew.

Does anyone know how to do a full factory reset. I cannot boot my Nook color anymore after reseting it this morning. It boots until the nook color by barnes and noble screen, freezes, goes black and then goes back to the screen over and over again.
power > volume + > nook button at the same time. Hold down pass the power off screen until black. Power up again.

Tried that, just goes into same boot loop.
The way I got it to actually work was the opposite. power down the nook completely off. Then use the combo of buttons while it auto powers back on and keep holding it until a reset option pops up during boot!
hey guys, hopefully someone can help me.
I've successfully rooted my nook color, but I want to revert back to the factory state. There are instructions in nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM on how to do it. But I can't for the life of me, interrupt the boot eight times. At most it's only once and no matter what I do, on the second time around it shows the boot screen.
I tap the the power button, once I see the "future of reading" words, I hold on the power button and it blinks and show me the words again. Which is good right? Then I release and hold the pwr button again ( I tried keeping my finger holding it), both ways on the 2nd time it would show the splash screen.
What am I doing wrong? thanks!

I'm a little confused by what you're describing, but you don't have to interrupt the first splash screen (touch the future...). Interrupting the "n" screen, and, I believe, the following boot animation will also do the trick. Unless you're bootlooping, just keep powering down before it boots all the way up, and it should restore.
or use this script here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879922
Thanks for the replies guys! The reason I go with the script is cause I lost my microSD card and I can't boot off of it to run adb so I'm stuck using the manual method.
Maybe I'm mis-interpreting the instructions on nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM incorrectly ...
1. Power off the nook.
2. Tap the power button.
3. As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process.
-If the boot animation does not appear, add 1 to your interrupted boot count.
-If the boot animation DOES appear, your interrupted boot count is reset to zero. Start over.
Steps 1 and 2 I gots, thankfully For step 3, when do I press and hold the power button, when the words come up or when the "n" shows up? And when do I release and hold the power button again for the 2nd boot count?
thanks again!
I think you're making it more complicated than it needs to be. As soon as you see it powering on, start powering it off. Repeat 8x. Unless you're bootlooping or did something crazy to your boot partition, it oughta work.
Thanks wvcachi. But it is complicated!!
I'm having problems power it off, one the second time around, when I press and hold the power button, nothing happens and it boots all the way. I've tried different times hitting the power button, earlier, and all the time it boots through all the way.
maybe you can try and see if you can do it 3-4 times, and let me know when you start pressing the button and release for each iteration? I know it sounds stupid but seriously I can't get it
You have to hold the power button for nearly ten seconds. As soon as you see it powering on, start holding power again (to power it off) and don't let go until it's off.

Agreed...
1. Power off the nook.
2. Tap the power button.
3. As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process.
Repeat...
I don't understand though... If you are looping it should reset itself. If it will boot use adb and just set the counter to reset or terminal on the device and type...
Code:
echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
1. HOLD POWER UNTIL IT COMES ON
2. LET OFF POWER BUTTON 3 SECONDS
3. HOLD POWER BUTTON UNTIL OFF
4.REPEAT 8 TIMES!
simple enough, for most humans.
I just press the power button and keep holding it down while it starts booting. Works for me.

An even faster way is the 3 fingers of salute.
Hold down power button, fractions after hold down volume up and fractions after the n button. Keep those 3 down until you see the reset screen. Worked for me.

When you do it that way it only clears /data but the root program is still on /system

I tried it over and over for about half an hour and couldn't get it to shut down after the third boot. It seemed to ignore the power button after the first or second time I rebooted. I tried many different variations on timing, but nothing worked. People are saying to wait for the N, instead of "the future of reading," which I didn't try.
have a problem here.
My nookcolor all of a sudden just started a reboot process. does the boot screens and animations but never loads up. I last had the latest nooter before 3.0 and 1.01 on it. Just a few min ago I plugged the nook in and it said installing software. That completed but it still just loops on me. I try doing the 8 resets but it keeps going through the boot screen.
Any ideas?
TIA
I mess with the nook doing power off and on and eventually the screen flashes yellow quickly and goes to installing... A new software update is being installed this will take a few minutes.
It completes but then just keeps the boot animation loop on me.
Please help!
out of desperation I tried doing the auto nooter 3 on it.
I dont know if 1.1 is on it. But I assume because it said installing update earlier.
Anyawy it finished and I get hte new splash boot up scrteen. (the robot being traced in green with android below and then a bright light shining but that just plays over and over.
Guys I'm lost please help.
I would say go "back" to stock 1.1 and root again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
A data erase before you do the 8 restarts should break the boot loop. Since you can't get to the Unregister and Erase screen in settings, use this alternate procedure.
Shut down the Nook Color completely.
Start up again by holding in the On button and the Nook home button (the "n" button) simultaneously. You must continuously hold in the On button and the Nook home button until the "Touch to the Future of Reading" screen has been visible for a count of 5 seconds, then release both buttons. In a few seconds the screen will flash yellow and you will be presented with the options to erase or cancel. Choose erase by hitting the home button again. You will then be asked to confirm by hitting the home button one more time.
The Nook Color will then erase its data.
After the erase, do your 8 restarts and you should be back to the factory settings and out of your reboot loop. Restart and register, Re-Root and you should be OK
Just got my new N6, was setting it up, got the system update to 5.1 which I downloaded. Until here, everything seemed fine, however, after installing, I got an error message and since then, all it's doing is "Android is starting..."
Where did I go wrong? Called Moto CS which was a joke! I'll call Expansys from where I got the phone. But there has to be an easier solution.
Anyone? Thanks in advance.
If its the first boot after updating, it might take some time. Else try to factory reset from the recovery.
Turn OFF Nexus > Press and hold Vol Up button + Power button. Use Vol Down button to select Recovery and Power button to choose it. When the Android with Red triangle appears, press and hold Power button and tap on Vol Up. Now choose Factory reset option.
Thank you, but could not turn it off. Trying to power + vol up didn't do anything, however, power + vol down gave the fastboot mode from where I chose recovery, but it said no command was found
I think that means you have no custom recovery. Taken from another site:
"Press and hold the Power key and the Volume up key for around three seconds and then let go of the Volume up key, but keep pressing Power.
You should see the Android system recovery options pop up at the top of the screen. Use the Volume keys to highlight the options and the Power key to select the one you want."
Try this from the recovery screen. I think there is a power off option or maybe a factory reset option.
I'll give it a try and post am update, thank you.
Yeah simply pressing and holding power down then Pressing volume up once while holding power will give you the option to factory data reset. During startup it'll take some time for the first boot, some report 10 mins, be patient.

Holding power and vol up doesn't do anything for me! Why is it doing that?!
It's power and vol down. it boots you into the bootloader and there you can choose functions with vol up and down, and select it with power.
I did the factory reset, but it's still stuck in that same cycle. Called Motorola who advised to ask the merchant for a replacement. I called Expansys (from where I bought it), and was informed that I have to send it in first, then they will determine what the fault is and then I'll get the replacement, seriously?!
I called my AMEX and asked them to handle it.
Hello everyone.
Last night I took to the journey of replacing my screen on my moto x. After carefully piecing all of the parts back together, something weird happened.
The phone seemed to start up normally, with the traditional M logo, and then goes into the boot animation. It'll sit there booting for a good minute, and then will make a small buzz, the boot animation will freeze in the middle of a frame, and then it'll shut off and redo the same process.
I was wondering if anyone has had this issue, and has found a fix yet. Thank you in advance
Did you try to make a hard reset at your phone? Make a hard reset and see if the issue remains.
To do this,
With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time for about 3 seconds.
From the Boot Mode Selection Menu screen, use the Volume Down button to scroll to Recovery, and press Volume Up to select.
When the screen with the Android logo appears, press and hold the Power button, then press and release Volume Up to display the menu options.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power key to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power key to select it.
