Nook ver 1.2 and 1.3 can't upgrade after downgrade

When I bought this Nook a few months back it was shipped with v 1.2. Now that I have messed it up and recovered it I'm on 1.0.1. Is there a way to get back to 1.2?
Also now my Nook says I have no storage. I have no books downloaded, it's just after the factory reset.

It says there is no storage because you are not on 1.2 or above. Just update manually through BN.

Thanks for the reply. My problem is now that when I connect the Nook to the computer (linux Ubuntu), two drives show up both named B&N eReader. Neither can be opened. I suspect it's due to the fact that it shows no storage. How do I go about upgrading through B&N?
Maybe I have to use Windows? The 1.2 version before I started tinkering was recognised by Ubuntu Linux. Any help so I don't get murdered by my 9 year old for breaking her Nook is appreciated.

So are you on 1.2 now? Try making a bootable clockwork card and flashing this.

No I'm not on 1.2. I used to be but after "bricking" it and bringing it back I now have 1.0.1. I also have a bootable clockwork sd card. My question was how to get to 1.2 or 1.3 and you answered it by the link. Than you very much. I love you guys

It would help us more if we knew what you did/tried to do when messing it up... was it one of the "restore nook to stock" cwr images you used?
Try using the 8 failed boot attempts.... if you haven't messed up your recovery partition it should restore you to the version that was originally installed on your NC.
To help troubleshoot and fix it is really helpful to tell us what happened... you could also try using the cwr restore to stock 1.2 or the cwr update to 1.2 or 1.3 files.

Thanks for your reply DizzyDen. As I mentioned in the post before yours, I think I'm all OK now. I had made a bootable CM7 sd card to have stock/CM7 (without and with SD) but somehow had CWR installed on the emmc.
Then trying to upgrade to 1.3 from their website, I was not allowed. So what I had to do was to make a bootable CWR sd card, boot from the sd card and remove the CWR from emmc (used a flashable zip found on forums) and then flash a 1.0.1 image. Then I used the 1.2 update from the above link to update to 1.2 and then used the 1.3 from B&N website to upgrade to 1.3. Now I'm where I want to be but thinking about rooting again It's too much excitement but didn't have to be.
I think I must have tried to flash CWR recovery with the ROM Manager app when I had the CM7 bootable sd card in that caused all these problems. It's nice to have the bootable CWR though.

You can get you Nook back to the factory 1.2 by following procedure the it described near the end of the first post at

thanks, i wonder why this isn't included in the guide sticky thread. Also, is there a simpler way to complete wipe than the 8 reboot sequence? a script?

Thank you. I have adb and will give it a whirl later. I'm still stcuk with trying to have a working ROM on the nook. The Phiremod7.1 which is based on CM7 seems to be working fine now but I can't get any CM7 nightlys to show any soft keys at the bottom, hence no back or notification bars. I'm going to try a stable one to see if that maybe the problem. Funny that I was able to run the nightlies when I was off of SD.
Also while I have your ear, , I'm a bit confused about this wiping and rooting business with the nook. I'd appreciate any help for me to understand it a litlle better. Excuse my ignorance.
Why can't a complete wipe be performed when booted from a CWM sd card? In the numerous phones I have rooted the sequence is easy: root, install custom recovery, nandroid back up, wipe data/system/cache/dalvik and then install a new rom. In the nook,, I still get residual from the last rom (my wifi settings, wallpaper, B&N registration info) unless I do the 8 reboot sequence. What does the 8 reboot wipe that we can't wipe any other way? What does emmc format accomplish then?
Also, how is it that I can install a rom through an SD card without ever rooting the nook?
TIA

I have only recently noticed the remnant effect of previous data... I suspect it has something to do with B&N's newest software effecting the ability to wipe the partitions... perhaps formatting the partitions first would assist.
The 8 failed boots completely re-initializes the Nook with the factory backup data stored on mmcblk0p3... there is the complete rom and device specific backup stored in zip files there.
You can install a ROM by booting off the SD because B&N set our nooks up to boot from SD first... so when you do nothing from the Internal storage is loaded upon boot... so its not in use and can easily be manipulated.

Nook HD Root for 2.0.5?

I just opened my Nook just now, I set it up thinking it was harmless. Unfortunately, just as I went to go root...I saw that there was a break or something? Does anything work on it now or do I need to play the waiting game again?

I don't know about the HD but there is a root for 2.0.5 that can be mod via CWM, and since this modified CWM is only working for HD+ you probably have to wait. Hopefully somebody will make a modified CWM for the the HD soon that's compatible. The current CWM for HD is meant for the CM10 which write changes to the sd card. So, yes you have to wait, unless you got the HD+ and not HD.

I'm more curious about just getting the google play store on it. That root?

Even for Nook HD, not HD+, your probably doesn't come with 2.0.5 out of the box. If you want GAPPS that much, and doesn't need to use Nook store yet, you can try to force yourself back to older firmware and then you can skip OOBE and then apply all-in-one mod. This should work for HD as well as HD+.

Damnit
Had Root working splendidly on 2.0.4 then Nook HD made a weird ring noise and said there was an update. I didn't want it and said no, but there it was after turning it off and back on again a few hours later after fiddling with GAPPS. I don't really want to factory reset, and have been searching for a way to reroot without bringing back to to previous version. So far it looks as though the directory just won't get made for some reason or another. On the plus side 2.0.5 does get rid of all those pesky multiple copies of every media file you have (but really on have one copy of)
Stuck waiting for an update to "allinone.bat"

Right now it's only for HD+.

Just for kicks, can I ask why the HD+ has a working root and not the HD? Shouldn't it be the same thing since it's basically the same device and firmware?
I really hope the root for 2.0.5 on the HD is out soon. I'm not in any way a developer, so I am at the mercy of this fabulous forum. I just want the Play store and GAPPS. I'm not one of those who bought it just to put CM or something on it (as there seems to be many like that here). If I just wanted the Android experience, I would have bought a Nexus 7. However, I wanted a 7" e-reader that I thought I might add GAPPS to at some point. My iPad (or any 10" screen) is too big to read on enjoyably, IMHO. I can only hope that a lot of devs got this nice device for Christmas and will want to root it ASAP. Anyway, this post is now officially all over the place, so I'll stop the ranting. Merry Christmas to all!

I just joined this board to ask virtually the same thing and have the same opinion as you. I'm not a developer! And as a primarily iPhone/Apple user am pretty in the dark about rooting/sideloading/CM10 etc. I just bought a Nook assuming I'd either A. get Jellybean on it somehow B. be able to at least access the play store or even C. be content with the stock Nook experience. I think C would be the case if it had ANY games/apps. It's truly a worthless app marketplace.

The answer to both past users is the all-in-one root does work on the HD (for versions 2.0.4 and older). The reason my CWM root (which works on all versions) does not work yet on the HD is there is not a working stock CWM yet (it has different booting files). But there will be soon.

2.0.5 root for nook hd
Hey, guys noob here...Not too familiar with the Android platform...Im use to jailbreaking/unlocking Apple products....My question is, when I first powered up the HD, there was a critical update was that an update to a newer firmware for B&N? Is it possible to restore the HD back the firmware it came with ...All input with be greatly appreciated...Thanks

Leapinlar and bokbokan have released a root method that works for the HD on 2.0.5 now. It requires burning CWM to an sdcard and booting off the sdcard though. Check out leapinlar's thread.

At this point it's possible to restore the HD back a few different ways. The Nook comes with a backup of the out of the box ROM that can be restored via the Nook using what's called 8 boot loop. It's a failsafe that is tirggered when the device is rebooted 8 times during the boot phase. This can be done manually by powering off the device 8 times during boot, or modifying the ROM (/system) which triggers it.
Also as long as we have access to booting the device off the sdcard and access to the Nook's kernel I believe the device will be fairly open and accessible for us to do whatever we want to.

Actually, if you just follow some0ne's guide here, and install a decent launcher (I use Nova Launcher Prime.. gives you NINE desktops!), then you really will have no need for CM10 to have a fully-working rooted experience with the HD+. I'm hoping the HD owners get some love soon, too.. cause I'm aware that not everyone has the $320 to throw out for the 32 GB HD+.. (I personally couldn't settle for anything less than the FULL amount of internal storage, as the expansion slot will only take an additional 64 gb microSD.. or is that 48?_ I dunno.. too early in the morning to remember right now. ha.
For an IT pro such as myself, storage space is EVERYTHING when you're constantly downloading, installing, transferring files from one place to another... When I bought my HD+ 32GB, I also picked up a Sandisk 32GB Class 10 microSD to go along with it. (they were on sale for a mere $26!) I couldn't pass that deal up!)
Anyways, just do as some0ne says and you'll be livin' the "high... err I mean ROOTED LIFE" in no time." -- If you've got an HD+, that is.
Welllllll perhaps I spoke a bit too soon. Just went to run my titanium backup pro and it seems I'm no longer rooted due to B&N cramming the 2.0.5 update down my throat. wtf...

It does not harm the nook. If you don't want it rooted anymore, just do the 8 failed boot procedure.
And if you look at my rooting thread I just walked someone through it last night.

Technically speaking, Nook has Android 4.1.2 (JellyBean) on it, but B&N has limited some of the features. Rooting solves most of those problems, but requires some work arounds indicated in the threads.

Rooting a Nook HD+

I just purchased a Nook HD+ which upgraded during initial charge to 2.1 and would like to root it so I can restore apps and data from my Nook Tablet (w/CM7) using Titanium Backup. I read the CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS post, but for some reason it is still a tad confusing. I understand I need to use some of the files at the bottom, but which ones specifically do I need and can I get simplified directions. Thank you in advance.

After reading it a few more times I was able to create the necessary bootable SD card copy the necessary zip files and root my device. I was likely over complicating the process. Anyway, I was able to root the device and was able to restore data to my HD+ from my Tablet. Thank you.

To me the hardest part was deciding which CMW file to go with...to be honest I just guessed and went with the small_stock and it did what I needed it to. If there was more detail on what each of the CMW files contained and/or their different purposes (if there are any) that would have really help this be a quicker process for me. In the end I got it accomplished so that is all that matters. Thank you leapinlar for the work you have done on this project.

Obviously you did not read the show content section for selecting the image you need. The 4GB is the best one to use if you have a big enough card. The small version is identical, but is used for smaller cards.

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. At the risk of getting flogged for asking a noob question, I'm sticking my neck out here.
Henry, I had no obstacles modifying my Nook HD+ last week. At first I found the instructions on this forum intimidating looking, but they were really easy to follow. Easier, I think, than when I made the root SD Card for my previous Nook Tablet. Before I get to my noob question, I want to say thank you to those developers who provided the rooting instructions. You guys are great.
Now, on with the show.
As I said, I had no obstacles modifying my Nook HD+. However, after the modification I have a few minor glitches. My custom wallpaper shrinks from 3 pages to one sometimes. No big deal. The wallpaper corrects itself and returns to full size after the tablet sleeps for a while. No biggie. Another problem I have is the wallpaper and app drawer will not rotate when I hold the tablet sideways. All the apps will rotate, just not the wallpaper and app drawer. Again, no real big issue. I've got a problem with a couple of apps, but I think those issues are app related.
Now, for my big problem: No videos will play. I've tried YouTube, Netflix and embedded videos from a website. Nothing. Nothing plays. I get a black screen. When I play Netflix I get sound but no picture.
If it was just one app in particular, I would think it's the app. However, I've tried video from three sources and I get the same result.
What am I missing?
Now, according the the modifiying/rooting instructions, I've technically not rooted my tablet. I did flash the following files:
New OTA (Over the Air) update block (rev2- 03/29/13)
Full revert to Plain Stock 2.1.0 (latest 5/3/13)
Extras - includes enabling Unknown Sources - (rev3 - 5/6/2013)
I am running HD+ 2.1.0. Purchased the tablet June 11.

[Q] Which method to root? Please help, confused

Hi
I have been reading alot about rooting Nook HD+ and I came to conclusion that I am rather confused. There are alot of tutorials and methods, and there has been a recent update to Nook recently. Some files seem to old some files not so sure if they are applicable or not.
I want to root it so that I can use adaway with my Nook HD and HD+. I do not want to install Mods, I do not want to do any other tricky Android OS stuff for now. I just need to eb able to root it.
I installed the SDK and I have a working adb usb bus now. I can send files files using the android adb command.
Which method of rooting is applicable to HD and HD+ nowadays?. I am kinf of tired of trying to locate an up to date information and the more I read the more I get confused about this process. So please help and give me a link/reply that works fine nowadays.
thanks

With any stock version above 2.0.4, the only way to root stock is to use my CWM method in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. And once you get it rooted, heed my warning about how to set up adaway so it will not reset your device.

leapinlar, thank you for following up my thread.
I am going through your thread and I am again confused about one issue here. Which file is the boot related zip ? You are not referencing the names of the files in your detailed thread which makes it harder to follow actually. You have alot of information, thanks for your time however if you can name the files you want people to add, unzip, boot whatever that would be really incredibly helpful.
The other question I have is about Nook HD. Is that thread also applicable to HD all the way?

Now you are confusing me. What is the "boot related zip"? You mean the BOOTFILES? If so, it is the one with "BOOTFILES" in the name and ends in rar, not zip. And I don't name the files in the text since there is generally two versions for each file, one for the HD and one for the HDplus, and the text would get very tedious with all those names. Just look for HD in the title in your case and read the rest of the words to understand what they are for.
And if they have HD-HDplus in the title, they work for both.

Yes, I wanted to thank user leapinlar as well.
That post of yours was invaluable. I just picked up an SD Card, put the BOOTFILES, the extras and the Universal root zips on it and did all that you mentioned. It worked perfectly.
P.S: I'd like to add that I have a brand new nook (bought from B&N store in July 2013) and it booted from the SD Card at the first try. I mention this because you had said that this is sometimes an issue (hopefully B&N fixed it)

Anyone else get the 2.1.1 update?

I just did. I'm not sure but it doesn't seem to have broken my previous rooting done after 2.1.0 was installed.

Sigh. It appears to have broken root.

It does break root, but just flash the root zip again and root comes back.

Thanks leapin! You're a true resource for the rest of us.
I was toying with the diea of going to CM 10.1 and just getting myself out of the B&N software architecture, but wasn't sure if I could do that and still keep my HD+ "looking" like a B&N device to the B&N online infrastructure.
