My Nook HD will only boot to CWM recovery.
A bit of history...
Was happily running CWM 10.2 but decided to upgrade to CWM 11. I couldn't get this to work (status 7 installation aborted). I reinstalled 10.2 and this worked fine. I then stupidly followed some instructions for installing CWM 11 when I was tired and didn't spot they were for the Galaxy Tab 2 and since then my Nook HD just boots into CWM recovery.
I'm pretty sure I have killed my device (I gave up trying to fix it a couple of months ago) but before I throw it in the bin I thought someone on here may have some bright ideas for rescuing it.
Thanks in advance for any advice
Try going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash a plain stock zip from item 6.
What thread and advice did you follow?

I tried flashing a plain stock zip from item 6, it didn't change anything.
Thread was on the cyanogenmod forum. I don't appear to be able to post a link so this is the bit I stupidly followed...
Hello!
The "error 7" message was in my case coused by an old version of CWM.
There is already a topic about it under Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 p5110.
This is what you could try to do:
- download the newest version of CWM at this link : **link deleted as forum won't let me post links but it was CWM for a Galaxy Tab2 10.1**
- install this package and reboot
- note : this is not the touch version of CWM so you have to use the power and volume buttons to use this type of CWM
- download the newest CM 11 and put it on your EXTERNAL SD CARD
- download if you use it the newest GAPPS for KK to your EXTERNAL SD CARD
- go into recovery mode
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- install CM 11
- install the GAPPS if you use it
- reboot
This solved my "error 7" problem and also for some others with this error.
Thanks for looking.
So what did you do? Install the CWM from that thread?

Then you may have bricked it. Did it say it installed correctly?
The problem is the Galaxy Tab 2 uses a different partition for recovery than the Nook HD. Whoever made that zip must have failed to put a safety assert statement in it to prevent users from trying to flash it to the wrong device.
I will try to find the thread to see if the zip was bad and where it tried to install it on your nook. Do you have any more clues for me to the link?

I can't remember what happened when I installed it, sorry.
The thread is called Unable To Install Cm11 and it's in the Barnes & Noble Nook HD Stable/RC/M-Release section
On XDA? Type the link with extra spaces in it and I can find it.

Ok, found the file you flashed and looked at it. It put the recovery image where your bootdata partition is supposed to be and wiped out bootdata. I made a bootdata repair zip and sent you a PM with the link. Try flashing that with your CWM. It may recover your bricked device. Let me know.

Just curious,
Is there a newer version of clockworkmod available for the HD+ (>6.0.3.6)? In my searches I haven't found one.
Also, is there any specific reason we are not clockworkmod official but are cm official? Not complaining or nagging just curious.

What I meant was how you can update recovery using the ROMManager app for some devices.

Let me try to explain. ROM Manager is a third party app by Koushik Dutta, the original author of ClockworkMod recovery. CM used to support and include a copy of ROM Manager in their CM ROMs. Now they don't.
Now CM includes a version of CWM recovery that is "CWM based" when you manually build a ROM from their repository. But they do not publish it separately. If you want one, you must build it yourself. That is what verygreen does when he updates his CWM or TWRP. CM keeps the repository up to date with the latest version of CWM. So the last time verygreen built one it was v6.0.3.6.
Koush Dutta still publishes his own CWM and ties it to his ROM Manager for many devices. Whether he builds one for the HD/HD+ is his decision.

I installed CM 10.2 emmc only to find out the sixaxis won't connect over bluetooth anymore, the whole reason I wanted to root. So does the sixaxis work with a stock rooted rom 2.2.0? Also does USB host work with it?

If you look in the accessories forum, there is a thread discussing that. And I don't think USB host works on stock, but search to find out for sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't device spoofer just for installing and running apps on devices that the apps aren't intended to run on? I'm just trying to pair the ps3 controller with my nook HD. From all the reading I've done, google kind of broke Bluetooth with 4.2. My iPhone would pair with stock nook is so I was hoping maybe a rooted stock ROM (2.1.1) would restore Bluetooth even though I'll be stuck with nook os.

I was not pointing you there about the spoofer, if you read the whole thread, it talks about if the six-axis works and on which ROM. It even talks about running stock on SD as a solution. I know nothing about any of it.

I must have missed it. Thanks for your help pointing me in the right direction
Ok. I installed CWM and rooted 2.1.1. Got the Sixaxis working but I can't open the cyanoboot menu. I've tried holding the power and "n" button and just the "n" button while booting but can't access the cyanoboot menu. I'm trying to install enable unknown sources but no matter what I do I can't access the boot menu. If it helps sometimes when I power back on I get the factory recovery asking if I want to restore to factory maybe indicating something wrong with the CWM install?

No, there is no cyanoboot menu with rooted 2.1.1. You have to boot using the bootable CWM SD that you used to flash the Universal Root zip.

I've searched in the forum and couldn't find the answer to this question.
I've got cyanogenmod on the Nook HD+ - Can I run stock off an SD card so I can use apps like Sky Go ?

You do it very much like you did when you put CM on internal, but use the files from that thread.
Use your CM to download the special stock ovation zip from his thread to your internal sdcard. Then download the special ovation image from his thread and burn it to the SD you are going to use. Boot to the new SD and CWM will come up and use that to flash the zip you downloaded to your internal sdcard. You may have to look in the 0 folder there for the zip. You should be able to follow his thread from there.

hi,
i'm stuck with updating my nook hd+ to kitkat.
i seem to have lost the backup rom (i think i formatted the micro-sd that it was on by mistake).
i do not seem to be able to update to any rom as i get an error saying...
E: Can't open / external_sd/cm-11-20140606-nightly-ovation (1).zip
(bad)
installation aborted
it says this with all the roms i tried.
i did get the same problem with my S3 until i found the fusion rom, which worked ok.
ps i am on recovery v6.0.4.5
thanks in advance.

Try downloading the ROM zip directly to the nook rather than your PC. Sometimes the PC antivirus will corrupt the zip.

You did not say earlier you could only boot to recovery. You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new CWM bootable SD per item 1a and flash the plain stock ROM per item 6. That will get you back to like it came out of the box and you can start over.

Getting info from you is like pulling teeth. What device are you running? What operating ROM were you running when it developed the boot loop? And describe the boot loop. What logos show and how far does it get when looping? How did you try to install the stock ROM? Did the install complete successfully? What do you mean it won't go when you wipe data? The data wipe does not complete or it completes but still boot loops?

Thank you. But I'm afraid I have bad news for you. With some HD+ running CM11 it does truly brick. I suspect it has to do with CM11 running trim automatically on devices with the buggy emmc chip. And your symptoms match that (the device becomes essentially read only). I know of no known fix. You tried the ones I would recommend and it did not help.
Sorry
Edit: you can still use your device running a special version of CM on SD. Search the dev forum for noemmc. Verygreen made a ROM that will run on SD for bricked emmcs. I think succulent even made a CM11 version.
