[Q] Need help with my EMMC CWM-based recovery - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I screwed up my nook HD+ while trying to install CM11 without fully understanding the instruction. So I'm up here consulting all the wise people to help me save my Nook HD+Now it's only able to run the stock Nook OS and unable to install any zip file.
Basic info of my tablet:
Nook HD+ 32 Gb.
EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.4.6​
Here's what I did wrong:
- wipe cache partition
Mounts and Storage Menu
- format /system
- format /data
- format /cache
- format /bootdata
Advanced Menu
- wipe dalvik cache​
Current Condition:
Unable to install any zip file; it shows the android guy lying flat on the ground with a red "!".
As of now, it can only run the factory Nook OS.
What do I need to do save this mess so I can get it to run CM11?
I did try to put zips into EMMC through file managers (ran from Nook OS) but the recovery wouldn't install those zips either.
Thank you guys for look at this thread, and any tips/pointers will be greatly appreciated!

You must be using the cwm for cm11 version. Flashing without the correct recovery will cause cm11 flash to fail. Since cm11 does not incude the recovery in its zip you have to flash it manually.
So I will assume your attempting to flash cm11 to the recovery built against an earlier cm version.
Update your recovery to the one specified for cm11.
Its listed on verygreen's cm11 thread here.

Hi sandsofmyst,
I had CM 10.1.3 installed prior to trying to upgrade to CM11.
My Nook HD won't install any zip file right now; every time I try to install a .zip, it just show the android robot laying on the ground. Please let me know if there's a procedure I can follow to get new recovery installed.
Thanks!

Besides the robot laying down, it must give a message. What is it?

HI leapinlar,
Thank you for responding. I've attached a screenshot of the error message. It pretty much went from "Installing update..." to "Installation aborted." right away.
and before I reboot my device, the following message also shows up:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
"Root access is missing. Root device?"
Thank you again.

Since you wiped /bootdata (which you should not have done), you need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a there. Then use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 there. That should repair everything and let you start over.

Hi leapinlar,
What .img file do I use to create the CWM SD per instruction 1a?
I've downloaded "the plain stock 2.2.0 for HD+" per instruction 6 and it's a zip file. I tried using "dd" command on Mac and WinD32Disk Imager on Win7 but I can't get them to use zip as image.
I tried the SDFormatter method for 1a, and extracted the files zip file from instruction 6 into the SD card but my Nook can't recognize it during start up.
Once again, than you for all your help.

You have it wrong, do not extract the stock zip. That is what you flash after you have made the CWM SD. You unzip the image zip, the one for your device. It becomes an .img file when unzipped. Use the 4GB version for your device (HD or HD+).

HI leapinlar,
Thank you for your instructions. I was able to flash "NookHDplus-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock" on to my Nook HD+. After rebooting my HD+ with another SD card I created for verygreen's EMMC CM11 install I was able to flash the ovation recovery image (CWM) device still wouldn't flash the CM 11 zip. Also, when I try to reboot with the SD card for CM 11, it's still prompting that "Root access is missing. Root device?" message. What other things do I need to do?
Once again, thank you guys so much for all your help!

That root request message is normal. Just always say no.
After you flashed the plain stock, were you able to boot to stock without the SD inserted?
And you should not be flashing that ovation-6 a second time using 6046.
Try redownloading a different CM11 zip and flashing that. The one you were trying might be corrupt.

Hi leapinlar,
I was able to boot to stock after flashing plain stock.
Yes, I was able to flash CM11 zip by using a re-downloaded version.
Thank you for your help, now my Nook HD+ is back running CM instead of being stuck on stock OS.

How are you guys copying over the binary files to a different partition?
Im using windows 7 and the only partition that it displays in Computer is the BOOT one..
Any idea on how to copy the zip binary file to a different partition of the SD card within windows 7?
Thanks
EDIT:
When I burn the new sd card image, my sd card partitions look as follows:

Just need to figure out how the get that binary zip file onto CM10SDCARD...
I downloaded virtualbox and got an ubuntu vm image. Was able to load the zip image file through that. Install successful
EDIT:
I managed to get it installed. However I have noticed:
- The screen resolution is smaller than stock..
- My screen does not tilt..
bokbokan's mod works a treat, great work on this one!
i have one issue with cm10+gapps however i am not able to bring up in the dev thread due to the low post count. having cm10+gapps (latest or 20121011 version) combined results in the keyboard service being killed right after i boot my hd up and every time i try to use any input field. clearing data method did not fix this for me.
is there anything else i could try to make it work?

To tilt the screen, hold it vertical while you rotate it. Screen resolution is the same, it just looks smaller. You can change that by editing /system/build.prop. Look for the line that ends ...density=240. Change to something larger.

CM10 copy zip to sdcard
Am very frustrated. Been working on this for 3 days. I have got ADB installed and working. When I copy the ZIP file over to /SDCARD it does not show up in CWM when I go to install from sdcard. When I look in file explorer I see the ZIP file was copied to the internal memory.
If I install the ZIP from internal memory will it work correctly?
Also looking at the Nook HD+ develper documentation it shows the removable sdcard as /ext_sdcard and the internal memory as /sdcard.
What am I doing wrong?
I started Ubuntu on my Dell laptop and it will not show or mount the sdcard no matter what I do.
I really want to get this working. I don't give up easily but after three days I need help.

I used LeapinLar's stock root by CWM fashable ZIPs. This worked great I have root and Gapps installed. Now I see that bokbokan has a new easy install CM10 sdcard install to do what I originally was tryingto do.
I downloaded the image and wrote it to the sdcard. Poped in the NOOK HD+ and rebooted. It keeps booting to the stock Nook ROM. I tried doing a ADB reboot and it still reboots to stock rom.
I have redonloaded and made the image three times with the same results.
I put Leapinlar's CWM sdcard back in the NOOK and it boots to CWM.
Is the image i'm downloading corrupt? Is there a check sum for this file?
What am I doing wrong? Is the fact that the Nook is already rooted keeping this from booting?

[Q][NookHD+] CM10.1 native emmc install

Hi, guys, I am really new to my Nook HD+ coz I received it 2 days ago.
After reading lots of posts, I wanna try the CM10.1 native emmc which I used with other pad.
May I ask after installing it by the method given by verygreen(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553), is it possible to reset it to the original Nook system with the 8-restart method? Coz I note verygreen says "Note, this version totally overwrites your ROM, so back up everything important before proceeding".
Thanks very much!
If you replace the stock recovery with one of his recoveries (CWM or TWRP), the 8 failed restart no longer works. If you only install his ROM and not the recovery, the 8 failed restart still works.
But if you use his CWM SD to do a nandroid backup before you install his ROM, you can restore that one later so you get stock back.

No, don't use early4. If you want to install the CM to emmc, you must use the CWM that he has in the emmc thread (early 2.1). It should unzip to 1GB and can be burned to a 1GB or larger SD. Don't confuse it with the other cwm zip (that he calls CWM recovery) that is meant for flashing CWM to emmc.

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.

I was just wondering whether I could somehow do something now to get CM11 on the device without having to get back to stock?

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?

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.

[Q] Nook HD+ Install issue Status 7

Hi Guys, needing a bit of help to see if I can get my Nook HD+ back up and running.
A little background. Nook is 2013 model. Has worked pretty well in past, had added files last year to allow access to Play and flash, worked well, so I came back here when my nook went to the 99% reboot screen and has locked up there. B&N can't seem to help any. None of my computers will recognize the nook, so I can't sideload the NPK update that they said might fix the nook. So after laughing at their offer of an extra 10% off an ereader or the new Samsung, I decided to try changing to CM's Ovation. Have tried to follow Leapinlar's thread on installing CM and have tried 10.2,10.1 and a version of 11 along with another d/l of 10.2 from another poster.
I can boot from the SD card, but with really no currently working ROM, I need to use the install to internal version.
So I've used SD formatter on the SD card, copied over the files in order listed and then booted to the card.
Did a backup and restore, worked
did wipe data and factory reset
then install from sd card,
the system then gives me an error when installing the CM files:
Set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/CM XXXX (no matter which CM I pick)
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any idea as to how I can resolve this?
I'm at a loss and can't find resolution.:crying:
Thank you!!
What recovery exactly are you using to try and install CM? The one you boot from SD card? What version is it?
Some recoveries are too old to install CM11, for example. I suggest you install TWRP 2.7.1.0 as internal recovery on your Nook. You can download it here. Just put that TWRP zip file onto your bootable SD card, boot the HD+ and install the zip file. Then remove the SD card and format it, or use a different one that isn't bootable. Put the CM11 install zip file onto the card, insert it, and boot the internal recovery by holding the "N" button and powering up the tablet. Keep the N button pressed until the TWRP splash screen shows. If TWRP doesn't boot, then something went wrong. If it does boot, you can try and install CM11 with it.

Hi Guys, needing a bit of help to see if I can get my Nook HD+ back up and running.
A little background. Nook is 2013 model. Has worked pretty well in past, had added files last year to allow access to Play and flash, worked well, so I came back here when my nook went to the 99% reboot screen and has locked up there. B&N can't seem to help any. None of my computers will recognize the nook, so I can't sideload the NPK update that they said might fix the nook. So after laughing at their offer of an extra 10% off an ereader or the new Samsung, I decided to try changing to CM's Ovation. Have tried to follow Leapinlar's thread on installing CM and have tried 10.2,10.1 and a version of 11 along with another d/l of 10.2 from another poster.
I can boot from the SD card, but with really no currently working ROM, I need to use the install to internal version.
So I've used SD formatter on the SD card, copied over the files in order listed and then booted to the card.

Yes, as the prior user said, you are using the wrong version of CWM to install the CM zip. CM10.1 and CM10.2 need v6028 or v6036. CM11 needs v6046. You can get them from the dummies thread linked in my signature.

I have tried to follow the thread instructions and used what appeared to be matching installers, if I didn't, I did see error for not matching. I'll go and try above recovery. Got to probably get another sd card.

Tried all three of these in that order. none worked. I'll go try above and see if it will work.
