[Q] Nook HD - Can't get out of CWM recovery

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.

Non Booting Nook HD+, need some input...

Okay, I've had my Nook HD+ for a while running on CM (do not remember the last update version...). Anyway, over the last three months the battery life has been getting worse, and the battery meter has been getting random readings. It was doing this off and on from when I got the device, but I really did not think much of it because the device was still alive and kicking. As of this last weekend, the Nook randomly died and refuses to boot. When I hook it up to my computer, the green charging light comes on and I am presented with an "OMAP4470" device in the device manager. However, after about five minutes of being plugged in, the green light changes to orange, and the nook logo comes up on the screen; but that is all it does, at this time, it no longer presents the "OMAP4470" devices, but shows up as "Blaze_Tablet" instead. I am trying to bring this thing back to life, but feel like its a lost cause. "OMAP4470" is prolly the serial flashing interface of the CPU from my guess, which means the eMMC prolly got messed up pretty badly during the random power off that happened.
I am looking for any and all input that may help get this little machine alive and kicking again.

I haven't experienced this issue, but maybe this'll work?

Alrighty, made the bootable sd, and it will not boot to cyanogenmod. /bootdata is missing or something similar. just boots to cwm recovery everytime.

The go to item 6 in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from there. That will get you back to plain stock and you can start over.

Then you probably have a bricked emmc. Time for a warranty exchange.

[Q] Run stock from SD

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 just searched the wrong forum. It is in the development forum here:

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.

You need to tell us more than just saying bricked. Like which model, what were you doing when it "bricked", how is it acting now?

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.

Not if it still shows the cyanoboot logo. B&N says that voids the warranty.

Just by flashing the stock ROM back, which you can't do.

Anyway to root without a 4gb SD card?

I just have a 2gb card at the moment and cant find my bigger ones.

Yes, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and follow the instructions in item 1a. You can make a CWM card from any size SD including that 2 GB card you have. Then use that to root.

Oh, you did not mean you wanted to root, you meant installing CM. They are not the same thing. Did you use the correct version of gapps for CM12? They must match.
Edit: And don't post so many questions asking the same thing on so many different threads. It gets confusing.
