hi
i have a nook hd and nook hd+
i installed cm10 on both systems using the permanent sd card method
the nook hd is used by my five year old and i heard her saying i am going to wipe minecraft
didnt think anything of it and tonight i powered up the nook and it has gone back to completely stock firmware
would the erase and wipe from the menu return it to stock even though cm was installed?
was i very lucky ? i didnt have a back up of the nook hd but i do have a back up of the hd+

I'm not sure what you mean by the permanent sd card method. Do you mean using an sd card to install CM permanently to internal memory? If that is what you meant and you did not install CWM to internal memory, then it is possible that she did something to make it fail on boot and keep trying and the 8 failed boot procedure would kick in and reset the device to stock. The 8 failed boot reset fails if you have CWM on internal memory.

hi
i used this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
didnt know about the 8 failed boot method , the nook was the wrong way round in the case and everytime it booted the power button was shutting it off
so it looks like its gone back to stock that way
ah i understand now , re reading the guide the cwm doesnt get installed to the internal memory only stays on the sd card
pretty handy for people wanting to get back to stock easily

If you read the guide carefully you will see that CWM does get installed on internal memory. It says to download and install three files and one of those three is CWM for internal.

I was running cm10.2 nightlies. I tried to go to carbon and it was having some issues with boot looping. I tried to reinstall cwm recovery to emmc off of my sd card being I had changed to twrp. Now it wont boot from sd card and is still on twrp but wont let me install any zips. it gives me error with zip signature. Now it just boots to twrp everytime and wont go to anything even after I tried to restore to 10.2 nigtlies that I had backed up in twrp. How can i get this thing back to a clean slate and start over?

You can turn off signature verification in TWRP. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and try to flash one of my plain stock zips from item 6. That should restore everything. Be sure to factory reset with TWRP too before you reboot.

I used your stock zips and fixed it. But I'm still having original problem which is reboots and sleep of death. I'm going to flash 10.1.3 stable and gapps no apps and run for a day and see if its a third party app. What do u suggest.

Just do what you did earlier, flash the stock zip. Also do a factory reset with your custom recovery.
And doing what you suggested earlier about not installing apps right away is a good idea. Many have said maps and having GPS checked can be a problem.

I just told you twice. Flash the plain stock zip and factory reset.
But if your CWM SD will not boot, you need to try one of the options below.
If you flashed the custom recovery, power on with the power button and n button. Release after about 7 seconds. Should boot to that custom recovery and you can flash the plain stock zip.
If you did not flash a custom recovery, just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row and it will completely reset.

In TWRP you can only partition the SD, not internal memory. That is why your SD will not boot any more. Send me your serial number via Private Message and I will make a custom zip for you to flash. You also need to make a new bootable CWM SD since you repartitioned the old one.

ok update. i can now with no sd card boot like normal into stock nook. i think im making progress. my sd card when inserted will show the cyanoboot, but doesnt go to cwm recovery just reboots
so i went to set nook up and it restarted and went into nook bootloop again. ughh
ok if i can get it to boot again so that I can get serial number.
I have a Nook HD+ that suffers from the emmc bug, so I'm trying to load a rom into the sd card.
I tried burning several recovery images but only one booted properly(early 7) others went to emmc recovery directly(dunno why).
When I finally got into recovery I adbed ROM and Gaps into the tablet, then flashed them, upon reboot i always happened to go back to recovery, so I replaced uImage(i tried 2) in the SD Card with one that i found on xda, now after reboot I did see the boot animation, but it is shifted to the right and stuck in a boot loop.
What did I do wrong?

It boots into emmc recovery but I get a lot of "Can't mount" errors. I got this nook from a friend a few days ago, thought I'd fix it up somehow to boot it up from sdcard.
Do you think that I have a chance of booting from internal memory since Emmc recovery works?

Put that stock recovery on it and see what it does. It is trying to repair itself by trying to boot to stock recovery. It cannot get worse than it is. You can use that early 7 SD to flash it.

Did you boot without the SD in after flashing? If so, what did it do?
Booting only to the early 7 SD is normal with a messed up emmc.
You need to start the SD burning again after formatting it with SDFormatter. Do not change any files on it after flashing the ROM.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
I erased it with SDFormatter then used disk imager to flash the image on the sdcard, I am still getting the same results for this recovery in particular(which was recommended by verygreen for his dead emmc work ouround).
Basically after I boot the tablet, the recovery logo shows up longer than usual, then the recovery shwos up with EMMC RECOVERY written on the top left of the screen. But this emmc recovery is different than the one that usually shows up when I boot without the sd card, same names but the UI has a slightly differnet layout.
This is so weird, what should I do? I really want to get this tab working

Not sure you answered my question. It did not boot to stock recovery when you booted without the SD inserted? Stock recovery looks entirely different than CWM. Just a nook screen. It should not have a cyanoboot screen (is that what you are calling the recovery logo?). And it should try to automatically repair itself.
And if you want to install verygreen's noemmc ROM on SD you MUST use his image from that post. And do not change any files.

I got it fixed!! After 7hours of trial and error I finally got it working, is this problem very common?

Stuck in bootloop
Hi LeapLinar,
I'm running into the same issue - recovery bootloop in CWM.
As per the instructions in this thread, I flashed stock recovery but I still got the Cyanoboot logo when rebooting and I also tried flashing your rooted stock 2.1.1 but it got stuck at 99% when rebooting to stock ROM.
Any suggestions ? Should I do a hard reset ?
Thanks

Sure. Thank you.
I mistakenly tried the OTA update from 10.2 to 11 (EMMC) with TWRP 2.5 I think. It failed and would not boot. I then tried doing a factory reset and reinstalling a 10.2 ROM I found on the internal SD card and it completed (no red FAILED) but would not go beyond the offset circular boot screen. I now tried flashing the cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip which was successful but when I try to load any new ROM from an SD card I get E: Can't mount /external_sd.
I presume I'm missing something. I don't think I formatted the bootdata folder I see mentioned a lot.

Do you still have the original backup or one from just after you install CM10.2? It might be worth just restoring that using the SD CWM you backedup with.
If the above doesn't work restore to stock grab both stock recovery and ROM from lepinar and get back to a known working state and try again.
what do you mean?
Is there a reason why the CWM is not good? Isn't this a ROM issue, like trying to flash CM 11 with an outdated recovery? and if so, don't I just need to understand how to install a clean 10.2 again?

The CWM for CM11 (6045 or 6046) is not compatible with older versions of zips and older CWMs are not compatible with CM11.
If you have an older version of CWM you can use it to flash CM10.2, but you will need to do a factory reset with the CWM before rebooting after flashing to clear out the mess the bad CM11 install created.
Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app
can you point me to the sets of files that work together?
So I see I have CWM 6.0.4.6 on the device. I can do a factory reset and then install CM11 directly or I have to go back to an old CWM and 10.2 first?
How about the issue where 6.0.4.6 does not read the SD card? I tried 2 and 16 gig cards, both EXFat and FAT32. Is that get resolved by the factory reset, or am I formatting the card wrong, or what? Unless there's a general impression that CM11 is not ready, I'd rather go to 11 unless it's necessary to go back first. Do I need to use the internal SD card and if so, how to I mount it to the PC when it's broken like this? Is there a button combination that makes it accessible through Odin or similar?
In the mess I got myself in, I'm to understand that the OTA is always fatal because the recovery does not accompany the flash, and the two are mutualy exclusive? In other words, I need to download the new recovery, the ROM and GAPPS and do all three at the same time to go from 10.2 to 11? But after that, OTAs are OK?

The sdcard issue is just with that version of CWM. Once you get CM11 installed the SD works. I don't know the answer on how to get the rom zip on internal. There is a thread for how to install kitkat (CM11). Maybe that tells you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796
And whether to go to CM11 is your choice. I have not tried it because I don't think it is ready, but lots of folks like it.
Once you have 6046 on internal memory it is ok to use the OTA for CM11 updates. And you can update now directly without going back to CM10.2.

Is there a TWRP which works on both CM 10.2 and 11?
The port you refer to seems to require that the nook be operational to move the files from the external to Internal card so there are many extra steps to go from a dead machine to CM11. Unless there is a working TWRP. I know lots of people think TWRP is bad news: is it a possible solution for me or more problems?
I gather that you'd go back to 10.2 if this was yours? Is it the simpler solution? I'm not set on the bleeding edge.

There is a working TWRP somewhere but I don't know where.
And like the other user said, the best solution is to go back to stock and start over. Once on stock you can put all the files on internal and install anything you want. If it were mine I would go back to CM10.1.3 stable, which is what I use now.
To go back to stock go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM per item 1a, flash the plain stock zip from item 6 and do a factory reset with CWM.

I installed the CM 10.2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
Is there anything else I need to do except using the standard Factory-Reset-wiping from the settings? (I also deleted the SD card and removed it ofc.)
As far as I remember I did use the Nook original software for a short time before I installed CM10... Is that gonna be an issue?

It depends on what you want running on it when you sell it.
If you want to keep CM10.1 on it, go to CWM and factory reset and to clear your media files go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia'.
If you want it back to stock, do the same wiping with CWM followed by flashing the plain stock zip from item 6 in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
And having run stock for a while makes no difference.

Hello leapinlar, thanks for your response.
I want CM10.2 running on it, and thats also the one thats currently on it. (I typed in wrong before)
Uhm, as far as I remember I only got into CWM with the SD card, I created with your guide. Is there a combination boot into CWM the Nook? Or do I have to make a SD card again?
I didnt wanted to try it out because last time I tried to boot into it and I ended up restoring Stock Nook and had to start over... (Its been a while though)
/edit: so I found this, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364
When you need to get into recovery, you can either do "reboot to recovery" in reboot menu (need to enable that in settings) or reboot the nook, and when you see original nook boot logo, press and hold power + home buttons for about 4 seconds.

I created a new SD card now and got into CWM and reinstalled CWM into eMMC and could boot into it afterwards. Then I factory reset and formatted "/data and /data/media (/sdcard)"
Thanks
Looks like its good to go! Man I'm sad to part my ways with it. ;_;
Hi
i think i am not far away from bricking my NOOK HD so i need some advice please .
I had been using bokbokan's excellent sd boot method of running Android on my Nook for months when the sd card failed so i went through the same process again but now the Stock Nook Os seems to have gone .
When i power on the Nook without the sd card inserted on it will boot in to Cyanogenmod or CWM if i press and hold the n button
I am not too bothered about the stock OS to be honest but the version of Cyanogenmod i have on the nook is not right as no matter what i do Gapps will not install correctly.
So what would the easiest or best method be of getting the most up to date Android software on to my nook be ?
If i cant boot from SD i am not bothered either .
Thanks in advance for any help .
Any ideas appreciated ,thanks

Try going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then use that to flash the plain stock zip from item 6 there. This will repair your internal memory with stock so you can start over.
