Stuck on cyanoboot, nothing helps

Hello everybody,
I have trivial problem with cyanoboot - I've bought used NOOK HD+ after someone tried to install cyanogenmod on it, and except holding cyanoboot at screen with an SD card (that I've prepared accordingly leapinlar's page), it has next issues:
1) there is absolutely no response, when I try to turn it on without an SD card;
2) when the SD was untouched by me, it had some other cyanoboot installed on it but with this version nothing in the cyanoboot menu worked: there was a menu and errors in the console every time I've done everything. But, at least, it loaded.
And, question ahead - is it some easy way to figure out whether my B&N is bricked?
I've already tried so many options not only from xda to get some from the tablet and now I'm nearly desperate.
Regards.

If your cyanoboot on the SD has a menu, that is the wrong one to be using if you want to do modify internal memory. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per the instructions there. Then you can use it to flash stock back to internal or another ROM like CM.

Thank you for answer, but currently I have no menu on cyanoboot, just holded cyanoboot logo. Menu was at first in the cyanoboot on the SD card, that I have nothing to do with - it was configured by previous owner, was broken and cause error message on the console as the response on every step I take in that menu. And of course - because this menu was useless - I just rewrited new image on it, as it described at the forum.

My issue is stucking on cyanoboot logo, menu never comes up whatever I do with the card. I've tried really many options from the forum, especially from this page:

Without SD card tablet doesn't work at all.

I use Win32DiskImager to create SD (either 1GB and 8GB) both from NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip and NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-small-rev4-(05.15.13).zip. Also tried just put NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-BOOTFILES-r4-(05.15.13).rar on the card with activated partition.

On that last one I hope you meant the extracted files from the BOOTFILES rar.
But it shows the cyanoboot logo when you boot with the SD inserted? And nothing when the SD is removed? That means it is trying to boot from the SD, just not completing. Have you tried the TWRP versions in my thread?

Nope, but now I'm using both NookHDplus-bootable-SD-TWRP-2.6-for-emmc-4GB-rev0-(09.18.13).img and extracted NookHDplus-bootable-SD-TWRP-2.6-for-emmc-BOOTFILES-rev0-(09.15.13).rar - the only difference is other level of stucking - instead of holded cyanoboot logo it shows after cyanoboot logo some other logo and nothing is occurs, except for this recovery power down itself after about 5 minutes.

Any ideas what should I do next?

I also found out, that with TWRP tablet is recognized by adb. Is it possible use it to solve the problem?

install cm after rooting

Hi, i wanted to ask this to leapinlar in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613, but since i can't, i will ask it openly. I've rooted a Nook HD+ 2.2.0 following that guide succesfully. Now I would like to try out cyanogenmod, but just try it out so if possible i would to run a hybrid configuration without changing to much in the internal file structure. My goal is to be able to use the tablet without the high temps i get whenever i look at videos or even use the web browser in the stock os.
So, after following the guide from that thread what would be most simple way to install cyanogenmod? (i mean, without following the other guide which would mean doing a factory reset, getting a 4gb sd card and other stuff)
Thanks

Try one of bokbokan's SD install versions. Either CM10.1 or CM10.2.

Thanks leapinlar for your response, yeah that was the guide i was referring to, the "for dummies guide". So this would mean i have to get a 4gb sd card, do a factory reset, install CWM in the internal memory and everything else that is written there? (this would mean overwriting the root i already did?) Or can i just use the CWM sd card that i used for the root and install cyanogen from the zip?

The 'for dummies guide' is for putting CM on internal memory replacing stock. You said you wanted to leave stock alone and install to an SD. That is why I suggested one of bokbokan's SD ROMs in the dev forum.
But yes, you can use the CWM SD you created to do the root to install a CM ROM to internal memory replacing stock. Just follow the dummies guide after the creation of the CWM SD.

hi again, i've been using the hybrid install and now my SD card is full and the OS is slow (i can't see the files that are making it full)... should i expand the partition in the sd card? (it is 127 mb)

hi again, so today i had another problem: i had to restart the nook because the cyanogen OS froze and during boot the SD card was never detected... so i turned it off, got the SD card out and the nook did a factory reset on its own with which i lost all my data!
i am wondering if the root was also lost amd what should i do to prevent this from happening?

Yes, if the device reset, you lost everything, including root if you had it. The way to prevent the device from reseting is to not let it fail to boot 8 times in a row. Turn it off until you get an SD inserted that boots properly.

If you want CM11, that is the one to use. If you want CM10.1/CM10.2, use the guide I referenced. They use different tools.

I'm confused on what files to actually download?!! any help please?

Advice please
kk so last night i had a go at the kit kat tutorial.
Think I got the right files in the end. (see attachment photo)
Managed to get CWM flashed on the 32gb micro SD and insert it into the Nook and reboot it into recovery.
Then i needed to back up stock OS to SD but it goes through the process but at the end it says no EXT SD found.
So it has the back-up on the internal memory which i cannot get off.
Why did it not back up to EXT SD?

That EXT SD it says it cannot find is not the external SD you are thinking of. It is looking for an old scheme not used anymore where apps sometimes were stored in an extra partition named that on the external SD. Your backup was probably stored on the external SD. It depends on which option you chose when you made it. If you chose the wrong option it might be stored on the internal memory. In any case it is easy to get it off.

HELP Nook HD+ cyanogenmod fail...

Hi guys,
I tried installing cyanogenmod on my new Nook HD+ but when trying to install CM11 it gave me a status 7 error!!
I did make a backup before installing and so I wanted to know how to recover back to factory setting or whether I can still install CM11? When turning the tablet on it just goes to CWM v6.0.4.6
What do I do???

To get to stock 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. Follow that with a factory reset by CWM. That takes you back like it came out of the box.
I don't know which guide you used to try to install CM11, but I suggest you use this one:

Thank you for your reply. I did use that guide but I think the CM11 file I downloaded must have been corrupt?
Is there anyway of trying to put another CM11 file on the device without installing stock rom?
I need to get another SD card to try to restore to factor setting.

You said you wanted together back to stock. That is what I told you how to do. You can't use that 6046 CWM to do it.
If you want to try again with CM11, just do it.

Yes I appreciate that, thank you.
I was just wondering whether I could somehow do something now to get CM11 on the device without having to get back to stock?

Just follow the guide. Can you get the SD to boot? What steps were successful? And there must be more to the error message other than status 7. Tell us more.

I don't think I have made myself very clear. Since following the guide I received an error, so I can;t follow the guide now. I just need to try to change the file that was corrupt or start again. I would prefer to change the file but I don't know whether that is possible. If it isn't I will have to buy another sd card to try to solve this problem.
At the moment I can't use the device but it does boot to CWM.

You are not making yourself clear. There had to be more to the error message than "status 7". Maybe you don't remember. Or maybe you lost the file and you cannot try again. And why can't you use the SD you used the first time?

this is what happens:

I suppose I could use the same sd card but don't I have to put the files on the internal sd card for it to reboot to the factory setting?

Now that you have CWM v6046 already on internal memory, it is ok to have the files you want to flash on the external SD. It is only the version on SD that needs the files on internal SD. Get SDFormatter free on the web and use it to format the SD so it goes back to its normal size. Then you can put the CM and gapps zips on the SD. CWM v6046 has an option to flash a zip from external SD.
But that being said, that error message tells me that you have too old of a version of CWM on internal. Are you sure it is version 6046?

When CWM loads that's the version that comes up. I couldn;t see any option of loading from external sd card?

...Also if I take the sd card out then the bootloader doesnt load. the Nook logo just loops?

Thank you, I got it back to Stock and will try the install again!

I got there and installed CM11 now. Thanks for your advice.
I downloaded the wrong CM11 file, instead of downloading the emmc.zip I downloaded Sd-card zip!

[Q] Need to return Nook HD+ to Stock ROM

Hello,
I have 2 weeks to return my Nook HD+ to B&N for a warranty replacement
due to a charging issue (it randomly reports the battery strength at 1% and
then shuts down even though the battery has a charge). I've read and re-read
various threads but haven't been able to figure out how to return the Nook to
the stock rom. I have CM11 installed on emmc with TWRP. It's been nearly
a year since I installed it and can't find a back-up recovery or even remember
if I made one. For the most part, the guides I've found refer using to CWM
rather than TWRP. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. An alternate to that is to go to item 5 and flash the v6036 CWM to internal memory replacing your TWRP. Use the CWM to flash the plain stock zip from item 6. Follow that with a factory reset with CWM. You cannot use the TWRP you now have on internal memory to flash the stock zip. It will fail.

Thanks for your reply. Prior to posting my question, I've tried to follow your guide.
Please take a look at the the steps I took and let me know what I should have done differently.
I only had a 2gb SD card on hand. Anyway, here are the steps I took:
Formatted a 2gb SD card with SD Formatter. Then with MiniTool Partition wizard the partition was set as "active".
Next Win32DiskImager was used to write NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-small-rev3-(02.03.13) to the SD
card. At that point, the card had a capacity of something like 110 MB so I used MiniTool Partition Wizard again to extend
the volume using the remaining unallocated space on the card. I then copied NookHDplus-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock to the SD card.
When I put the card back in the Nook and hit the start button, the Nook boots right into the Cynoboot Universal Bootloader and loads
CM11.
Since I already have TWPR, is there a way to install a Stock Rom with TWRP and then remove TWRP?
Thanks,
JDK

You combined two different methods to make the SD and messed it up.
No, you cannot use that internal TWRP to flash the stock.
You should do what I said earlier. Download the v6036 CWM zip from item 5 and boot to internal TWRP and flash it. It will replace TWRP with CWM. Then boot to internal CWM and flash the stock zip as I earlier instructed.

It makes much more sense to me now. My mistake was that I did combine both methods. Since these steps can all be done from within the Nook, to keep it simple for a simple guy such as myself, , I don't need to be writing any files to an SD card. I'll give your revised instructions a try and let you know how it works out. I've used CWM on my phones, so I feel like I have of pretty good chance of getting it right this time! I guess I just needed to be walked through this, step by step. Thanks for giving me some more detailed instructions.
