Hi,
Just attempting to upgrade to CM11, and have hit a hurdle at the first step.
Having prompted via the power button to reboot to recovery, the device is now stuck alternating between the default nook load start screen and the cyanboot bootloader logo.
Any ideas please how to force a proper boot either back into the OS or recovery as intended?
Thanks!

At the moment, do you have CyanogenMod installed or the stock ROM? If CM, why not try creating a bootable CWM Recovery on a SD card. Using that SD card (turn Nook off, insert SD card and turn on), boot into CWM Recovery and install EMMC recovery + CM (and optionally Gapps). That should hopefully solve your issue.
You may not be able to boot into CWM Recovery instantly with the bootable CWM Recovery on SD, as newer Nook's often have problems; but keep trying.
All the best.
I'm running CM 10.1.3 at the moment,
Thanks, will try that as I think that's how I originally installed (was a while ago!).
Only issue I might have is that I don't seem to have a 4Gb card around, so may have to purchase one and then get back to you.
Will try with a 32Gb card for now.
Cheers for your help!

Of course, you can try with your 32GB SD card; it shouldn't be a major problem, it can still work too. Apologies if it's a silly question, but are you able to boot into CM10.1.3 at the moment? And if you power the Nook off completely, then turn it back on, does it still freeze at boot up?
Also, did you install a newer version of CWM Recovery for CM11, before flashing CM11? If so, that may make it harder for you to boot into a bootable CWM via SD card, as some users are reporting issues. If not, then once you have this issue solved, downloaded and install the latest CWM then try flashing CM11 again; and hopefully you shouldn't have any issues.
All the best.

Nope, can't boot into 10.1.3, literally all I did was select to reboot into recovery and it locked up in this booting loop without ever being able to load.
I had CWN Recovery 6 and CM11 on the internal memory ready to update, following upgrade instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
Was I supposed to install the latest CWN Recovery version from the OS rather than from recovery mode?
I've now loaded up my old bootable SD used when first installing 10.1.3 and managed to get into the bootloader.
It says I am in Recovery 6.0.2.8...
How is best to proceed? Try and recover 10.1.3 first or continue trying to update to CM11?
Cheers.
I'm glad you managed to boot back into recovery using your SD card. From here, I'd install CM10.1.3 and install CM11 after; so at least we have the Nook working for certain.
In the bootable SD recovery, install CWM Recovery and CM10.1.3. Then boot into CM, and hopefully that should solve your issue. We can then move forward to CM11.
If you have a Nook HD, download "CWM Recovery" from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319000 (5th paragraph)
Or if you have a Nook HD+: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553 (3rd paragraph)
After downloading the CWM Recovery, download CM10.1.3 for either Nook HD (Hummingbird) or Nook HD+ (ovation). Put them both on your internal storage or SD card; and using the recovery you're able to boot into using your SD card, install both the CWM Recovery and CM10.1.3. Eject your SD card, and reboot your Nook. Hopefully you should be able to boot into CyanogenMod; thus solving your issue(s).
Now, we'll concentrate on upgrading to CM11. The guide you're following to update to CM11 is correct, and should be good to go. So, download the latest "recovery image (CWM)" for your device from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572 and also download CM11.
Place the "recovery image (CWM)" onto your internal storage/SD card;
Boot into your current recovery, and install the recovery image (similar to how you install CM);
Now reboot your device back into recovery;
Now install CM11 (and gapps if you desire).
That should be it hopefully, and you should be in CM11. Just make sure you install the newer CWM at step 1.
All the best, and I do apologise if I didn't explain everything clearly.

Been dealing with this for awhile now, and haven't been able to find anything online, so here's the issue:
A few weeks ago I flashed Deeper Blue's HC preview to my dad's Nook Color. This was version 01. For a few weeks now, I have been trying to upgrade to version 04, but am unable to for several reasons.
First of all from what I understand, SU is not working correctly with HC, and needs a fix, however the nook isn't being detected by the adb, and haven't been able to fix it. Because of SU not working I haven't been able to update clockwork recovery through ROM Manager or reboot into recovery, which is my main issue. Attempting to boot into recovery manually is failing, ignoring it and booting as normal.
So I'm really in a pickle. Without recovery or adb I don't have a way to try and restore anything. Is there anyway to regain access to recovery with my current limitations?
Thanks for any help in advance!
have you tried using your sdcard as bootable recovery?

I have a card with a bootable CWM from thecubed and IOMonster.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
but it's being ignored. Is it possible I need to reorder the Nook's boot sequence if that's possible?
Reboot to recovery
I CAN reboot to recovery, but I haven't figured out how or why I can. The RecoveryBootUtility in HC v4-2 doesn't consistently get me there, nor does using Recovery from QuickBoot. Every once in a while when booting up, I end up in CWR. I wish I could figure out how to make it happen when I wanted it to.
Hi all,
I've got a Nook HD+ running CM10.1 with the hybrid SD card installation (many thanks to everyone who helped develop this - it rocks! ),
and I'm having issues whenever I reboot the device.
When left alone, 9 times out of 10 it will just stay on the Cyanogenmod animation indefinitely (well 10 minutes is the most I've left it)....
It always seems to see the SD card as it never just reboots to stock (always see the Cyanogenmod boot logo) so I can get into CWM or boot the nook to stock.
The only way I seem to be able to get it to boot consistently is to boot into CWM is to re-flash the CM10.1 rom / load the converter zip and the reboot from CWM.
I've installed quick boot into CM10.1 but I've nat managed to get it to install into stock yet as I'm getting the 'Installation Blocked' message - So I'm guessing that I need to sideload that in from my PC (unless I'm missing an obvious way to install this via the stock Nook interface?)
Does everyone else have this issue?
It's not the end of the world as I'll probably only have to boot from cold if I have a crash, but it would be good to know if there are any more graceful solutions out there....?
Also, is there a way to get your PC (windows 7) to read the large partition on the SD card after it has been imaged (so you can write files to it directly)?
Thanks for you help
Macca
When it keeps getting stuck on the boot animation, try going to CWM and the advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache and see if it boots ok. If that does not work, just try flashing the converter without reflashing the CM.
To put quick boot on stock you need to root stock and add at least the extras zip so that unknown sources is authorized. But I recommend the whole gaps + extra zip. Quick boot will not work without root.
And no, there is no way for Windows to see the sdcard partition by directly inserting the card in the PC. You must leave the card in the Nook and use the USB cable.

Thanks for the quick reply mate,
I'll try just clearing the dalvik cache next time.
Thanks for clearing up the quick boot thing - I'll root the stock later tonight.
Cheers

Hello again mate,
I might need a little more help it would seem.......
I had read a reply you had posted in another thread that I should be able to just boot into CWM and flash the stock Nook ROM with your zips (even though I already have hybrid CM10.1 installed.
So - I did just that....
Before doing any of this I did do a backup in CWM
I downloaded "NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev2-(02.02.13).zip" and "NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras.zip" to my internal memory, booted into CWM and Flashed both zip files (universal root rev 2 first).
When I rebooted, I forgot to hold down the nook key to boot to stock and I ended up in CM10.1 but flashing the zips above seemed to have messed around with CM10.1 as I had no apps pinned and the dialogue box asking about which launcher I wanted popped up....?
So I went back into CWM did a restore and re-flashed CM10.1 / Converter.zip's and my CM10.1 installation is now back to normal.
However, it still looks like the stock is rooted as I get the launcher dialogue box and have assess to the google app store etc...
Quick boot still won't work though as it's saying that it can't detect that the device is rooted....
So, If you managed to make it through all that - What did I do wrong and how badly have I messed my nook up?
What do I need to do to successfully root my stock?
Thanks again for your help
Macca
I might have figured it out myself now...
I didn't remove the SD card from the nook after rooting stock before rebooting out of CWM.
I've just re-rooted stock, took the SD card out and then rebooted and it took me into the rooted stock without any issues (quick boot now works as well )
CM10.1 also seems to be happy so it looks like I'm golden (it booted 1st time after quick booting out of stock)
Cheers

I have carbon ROM installed. However the power menu and ROM manager options to reboot to recovery do not work. They just take me to the nook install failed screen. I like to mess with ROMs and I would love to must be able to install ROMs on the fly. I can get into recovery if in install my origal boot SD I used to get cwm into the device. Anyone have any advice for that?

It is booting to recovery, stock recovery.
If you want CWM or TWRP recovery internally, you must install them. Go to verygreen's emmc CM10.1 thread and he has flashable zips to put one on your internal memory, replacing stock recovery.
Or, as you said, you could just boot to your CWM SD that you used to install Carbon.

Yes I have it fixed now. Thanks. Finally can reformat my 4gb sd card back to 32gb
Thanks for the quick reply.
My Nook HD+ keeps rebooting to my EMMC recovery (currently CWM 6.0.4.6) no matter what I try. It all started with a botched CM11 install from a while back. Since then I've tried installing CM11 M8 and CM10 RC2 through both the emmc recovery and the bootable sd card recovery. Even when the install goes smoothly, my Nook will just reboot back into whichever recovery I have installed.
Not sure what the problem is but would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a and use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a system reset with CWM. That should get you going again and you can start over.

I got the similar problem on my nook hd (version : CM10.1). Someday, it automatically upgraded and i interrupt it, then a tragedy comes. It always get into cyanboot and recovery 6.0.4.6 when i rebooted. And i try flash newer CM, but it always reboot. Then i try many ways during several days.
When i just wanted to give up, the miracle showed. My nook was connected on PC with internet, the screen is stuck on cyanboot as usually. Then new screen pop up to ask me set language.
I quickly flash recovery, CM11 and google market. In this time, recovery 6.0.4.6 was worked but i didn't why and how. BUT when i reboot it, it still went into cyanboot and recovery 6.0.4.6. In recovery menu, i try advanced-->reboot to bootloader. Yes, i got into new CM11 :crying:
Now, although my nook get into recovery 6.0.4.6 when it rebooted, but tap advanced-->reboot to bootloader, which get 100% into CM11.
It really a tough work, and i still don't know how i solve it~~
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444630 for an explanation of one common (but not the only possible) cause of the "recovery boot loop" problem. Although it was written for the Nook Tablet, the same mechanism also applies to the Nook Color, Nook HD/HD+.
For the Nook Tablet (not HD/HD+), there is a flashable_fix_bootloop.zip created by XDA developer succulent (and posted at his Blog http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/) that can be flashed (using CWM/TWRP) to reset the two files BCB and BootCnt and thereby getting the NT out of the recovery boot loop condition; with a little tweak this tool can be adapted for use with another Nook device type such as HD or HD+.
So, I was running the latest CM snapshot on my Nook HD+ and decided that I wanted to have TWRP instead of CWM as my custom recovery. I downloaded the latest TWRP img and flashed using Flashify. I rebooted and now it's stuck on the 'Nook' boot screen and doesn't progress. I can't boot into recovery or the OS. What should I do?
Apologies in advance for my naivity!
Okay, more details. Tried to run CWM recovery from a bootable SD card (as per instructions on another thread). With the SD card in the Nook won't even power on (black screen). Have a bricked it?
Solved! Tried a different SD card and was able to boot recovery and reinstall the ROM.
Was feeling like Samuel L Jackson (ie a bad mother f*cker) and tried to flash TWRP again, this time using Rashr, and it worked fine. Hope this helps someone!
