Can anybody help me restore the original ROM to a Nook HD? I've seen this thread here, though that is to install the stock 2.2.0 ROM to an SD card, I want to install the stock ROM back to the EMMC. I've looked everywhere for even backup files of someone's stock ROM but I can't find anything.

Look at section 6, second paragraph of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
Thanks to leapinlar, we are able to return to stock ROM. I'd install the earliest stock ROM available, and then let B&N/Nook update you to the latest version. Just make sure you don't confuse HD and HD+. Also installing the stock ROM's will remove/overwrite your CWM/TWRP with a stock recovery.
All the best.

Hello, im new here and i have searched the forums and looked in google of how to revert to stock. If i understand correctly,having CM 7.1 i need to:
-Revert to EXT3?
-Download stock ROM?
-Use smartflash tool to instal stock ROM?
The reason i want to flash to stock is because CM camera video performance is getting worse and worse and i need it.
Yes. Those are the right steps to install stock rom.
thank you,i hope i dont brick my phone
The only person that can brick your phone is you. This is just a forum not a work place and we didn't sell bricks.

You can skip step 1. You don't need to revert to ext3 if you're going to smartflash, only if you're going to restore a backup or install a ROM via CWM.
I have made a backup from CwM before install CM7
Can i apply the backup again to the stock rom?
I did this but first I had to do backtoext3 (thanks for Paul obrien) and then flashed my backup. I'd obviously say do a backup of your current rom before you do anything!
I installed manualnooter-4-5-18 with no problem. But when I install manualnooter-4-6-16 device gets stuck on colorful Nook Color logo show.
My version is 1.3.
I also need some advice:
1. Isn't it better to use cm-7.2.0-encore instead of original OS? I can't decide.
2. Shouldn't I update to more recent versions of nook software (higher than 1.3) then mod it?
Thank you for software and support

It depends on what you want.
If you are invested in the nook store with lots of purchased apps or want to read interactive kids books, stay with stock. If you stay with stock, upgrade to 1.4.3 (you can get a CWM flashable version by looking in my tips thread linked in my signature) and root with Manual Nooter. I think it is up to 5.08.20.
If you are not invested in stock, definitely go to CM7.2. It is smooth and very stable.

So I decided to go with CM7.2 but
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
says it only works with 1.2. I got the link to wiki from here.
And one technical question, does CM7.2 remove original Nook Color OS completely? If so why its version matters?

Yes, if you install CMx on EMMC it will replace B&N ROM on the device.
That is an old instruction... The reason that method only works with 1.2 is because they have you rooting it and installing CWM on EMMC. By making a bootable SD and installing CMx from there, there is no reason to root the B&N ROM before installation... so you can install it regardless of ROM on you NookColor.

So I just copy the CM into the flash (that I had made it bootable with CWM) and install CM from there. I create a backup using CWM.
stupid me didn't backup and i upgraded to the hd+ and want to return the hd to office max. i read leapinlar thread and for the life of me i cant find the zip download or directions on how to return to stock on hd. i have cm 10.1 installed with custom recovery. sorry guys lots of info on the pages and i must be missing it or i am confused lol. i tried to change the npk to zip and do it but i get a bad error. forget it. found them. hope it works
Make a backup of what you have for use if flashing plain stock fails. There are links to plain stock files in item 6 of leapinlar's Android Development thread about Stock and Extras on the first message. Be warned, I had trouble with it before I restored a stock backup I'd made prior to installing cm 10.1. Once stock is onboard you can use the advanced menu to reformat the internal data and data/media (sdcard). You can also reregister and do a deregister once stock is onboard. BTW, OfficeMax here stipulates a 15% fee on returns.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. I have a link in item 6 for plain stock 2.1.0.
Edit: Also try cleaning your screen. Fingerprints do a number on these devices.

Hi Everybody,
I tried to look for situations similar to my own but couldn't seem to find any. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796 to root my new 32 gig Nook HD + and everything was going fine up to step 9. When I tried to install the cm 11 zip, I was getting a status 7 error, and as an idiot I forgot to backup my Nook. So I completely understand that it is my fault, but I was wondering i there is any way to go back to stock rom, because all my Nook does is boot up to the CWM. Thank you guys for the help!
Flash correct CWM. CM 11 needs different recovery. Check verygreen's thread

I downloaded the version from the thread then installed it from the CWM menu. Is the version still 6.0.4.6? Because even after I install it I keep getting the status 7 error when I try to install cm11.

Two places to point you:
1. To install CM 11, you should make sure you are using the CWM version from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
2. To return to stock, you can find info and the stock images on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
Page down to item 6 in the original post on this thread, which will provide you with the links to various versions of stock.
Good luck.

See I've tried using the CWM from the first link, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I know this will make me sound like a noob, but when the instructions say that I need to "flash" the recovery image (and so on and so forth) it just means to install them through the ClockWork Mod menu correct? Because even after I flash the cwm recovery image, it doesn't make a difference. I still keep getting a status 7 error when I try to install CM 11. I'm also worried that because I put the cwm internally on my Nook (at least I assume I did from what I got from following the guide) I wont be able to change it.
Sorry I keep bugging you guys, I understand if I screwed myself over, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can do to fix my HD+ if possible.
A few more thoughts

Yes, when the instructions say to "flash" they do mean install via CWM, as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
in the section of the original post titled "Back up stock ROM & Install CM 10.1 or CM10.2"
Typically you get a status 7 error for one of two reasons: 1) wrong version of CWM, 2) the ROM you are trying to flash/install isn't actually for your device (or, at least that's what CWM believes). This may be a silly question, but are you sure you have the right version of CM? You downloaded from here, http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation I assume, and you're using one of the CM11 nightlies? If so, there's a small chance you've got a bad / corrupt download. I'd re-download CM11 and try again.
If that doesn't work, I would go to leapinlar's thread (the second one I mentioned in my prior post), scroll down to item 6, and follow that process to revert to stock (including stock recovery). At that point, you will be back to where you started -- stock ROM and stock recovery. Once you are back to stock, you can have another go at it. Since the CM11 install seems to be giving you trouble, you might try 10.1, following verygreen's instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553 there is also a link in that thread to a simplified list of instructions. FWIW, I'm on 10.1.3 stable and haven't found a compelling reason to move (although I probably will at some point). Another option would be try 10.2 following verygreen's instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389813
