App for getting into Recovery - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have rooted my Nook to Stock rooted with Emmc CWM recovery. I'm not sure how to get into it on reboot I think it using the home key but isn't the easiest for me to do. So I'm wondering if anyone knows about a shutdown app that will have the recovery option added in.
Thanks

Get the app "reboot to recovery" by wikilab.de. It is the only one that works on this device. And it only works if it is rooted. It does not have shutdown, only recovery. Try "Quickboot" by Sirius for shutdown, but its reboot option does not work on the HD/HD+.

Thanks for the info. I will get one of them.

What exactly is the method for getting into recovery on boot with the HD recovery that is on the emmc. I got into it once but cant seem to do it again.
Thanks

Boot from power off holding the power and n buttons simultaneously. After a few seconds release the power button before it turns itself off again, followed a couple of seconds later by releasing the n button. It should then boot into recovery (either stock, CWM or TWRP, whichever you have installed).

Yup that worked Doing another backup thanks again.
I really like this rooted Stock rom best. Its stable and I'm able to make it look like I want it to.
Thanks Again.

[Q] Any software can reboot P925 to recovery mode?

Any software can reboot P925 to recovery mode?
Tried a few apps none of them can boot into recovery mode.
I am using CWM touch 5.8. Press Vol+3D+power is a little painful.

Have you tried rom manager. I don't know about touch but on my CWM only Rom Manager will boot into recovery.

Rom manager lets me boot into recover with Touch
ROM Manager also lets me boot into recovery with CWM Touch. You might want to try and reinstall CWM and ROM Manager to see if that helps. Are you using ROM Manager PRO or just the free version?
Free version works for me

Does not work for me even on regular CWM. Tried ROM Manager and Quick Boot, none of them working for me. Press Vol+3D+power is very hard, mostly time the phone does even not power on.

The phone is just stubborn. You have to hold the power button for a while. Quickboot doesn't work for me either.

Is my Nexus completely dead?

Long post but can't really shorten it.
32GB wifi Nexus, rooted and was running Liquid Smooth ROM and Motley kernel, went to update the ROM to rc9 version ,anytime I updated previously I never done full wipe unless using different ROM, anyway flashed the ROM and the gaaps with it and rebooted, immediately and prompted to me to use either apex or Holo HD I choose Holo HD got error saying system ui not responding, tried apex and got the same.
I was on the main screen but couldn't access it, yet I could pull down and enter into settings, everything else looked to be ok, so rebooted back to recovery and tried fixing permission, rebooted and got the same so I though I'll be just restore my nandroid backup, to my astonishment all the data had been wiped, I didn't do a wipe at all so I'm baffled how this happened.
Anyway I done a factory reset and rebooted and went through the setup, got the same system ui not responding, went to settings which could still access, apps and un installed both Apex and Holo HD noticed that Liquid Smooth rc9 had installed but instead of showing the cm kernel it still showed motley kernel.
Back to recovery, factory reset twice, wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, went through set up process, same system ui error again, went to settings, erased all data, tablet rebooted, set up process same again, system ui, so I'm getting worried so back to recovery and this time I selected format system, data and sd, card and now I think I've completely fuc#ed it up as it just hangs at the Google screen and has stayed like that for over 30 minutes.
Previously asides from the occasional force close issue in the 2 months I've had the Nexus not really had a problem with it and whilst I'm no developer or techy geek I'm certainly no noob when it comes to this type of thing but I'm very concerned now and hoping someone can be of assistance as I sold laptop and primary just use my Nexus (and Galaxy S3)
Thanks

Strange.. But I didn't understand well, after wiping /system, did you flash the ROM back ?
I think you should flash 4.2.1 factory image using toolkit or whatever, then root etc..again
No all the data had been wiped this is what is baffling me, I didn't do a factory reset I just flashed the ROM and gaaps, as I said initially it was the system ui error I was getting but I think I've fucjed it up by formatting the system, data and sd card as all I can see now is the Google screen at boot, I can still get into clock work mod recovery but I've exhausted all avenues as it were, is there any hope I can get it back working again?

First Download and install the fastboot drivers...Download the stock Image here:-
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
then hold volume-(Down) Button and while holding the Button power on the device..it will take you into the bootloader. Now conne4ct the nexus to your PC...Now extract the file you downloaded (the Stock image)..keep extracting the files till you get the system.img file.Use fastboot to flash that(the command):
fastboot flash system system.img
Boot into fast boot, push a stock image. Ta da. Easy stuff. The basics.

CWM question

I have read everything I can find and I am still confused. I built a bootable CWM card for the HD+ using the root and extras thread and that works fine. I downloaded cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip and using the aforementioned card wrote the new boot loader and it says it was successful yet I can't boot into recovery. Am I using the right file is there something else that needs to be done?

It is true, you just have to know which keys. Hold power and the n key together for a few seconds when it first starts booting. Release before it turns itself off and it should boot to recovery. If the flash took, it boots to CWM. If it did not take, it boots to stock recovery and asks if you want to clear data.

Hopefully this will help someone else. I am doing a backup now so I can start playing without worry.

[HELP] Nook HD+ will not boot from EMMC or SD card

Hey guys,
So I've had my nook HD+ for a few months and have been running various roms on it for a while. Most recently I've had the latest Slimbean rom on it for about a week, Yesterday I went to use it after it had been charging all night and found it to be off. When I turn it on, it will just sit at the initial nook screen or get to the cyanoboot splash screen and just sit. I cannot boot into EMMC TWRP as it does the same thing. When I try to boot TWRP from an SD card it will get to the TWRP splash screen and just sit there without actually getting into the recovery, and if I try to boot a CWM SD card it will just sit at the cyanoboot splash screen. Is there something I can do to fix it or is my device bricked? And if it is bricked is there any way I could go about getting it replaced with the warranty as it currently and obviously has a custom rom on it.
Thanks for any help you can give me guys.

Did you try to boot to your internal TWRP but holding the n key and power key together from a power off situation? Be sure to release the power key after a few seconds so that it does not power itself back off.

I had one that I had used previously that I had written over and used for other things, I remade the bootable SD on that one and it didn't work. I also tried making 2 other bootable SDs following both methods (new and old) of the guide in this thread. My HD+ has never had a problem booting from bootable SDs before this happened, aside from taking a few reboots to actually get it to boot which I have read is common.

Since you have a custom ROM and a custom recovery on internal, it is hard to tell if the SDs are booting or not. Both cases look the same on the screen. I would bet they are not booting and it is always trying to boot to internal.

Well I can tell that the bootable TWRP SD card is at least trying to boot, as by just turning on the nook with that card in and not pressing the n button or anything will get it to the TWRP splash screen before it gets to the actual usable recovery screen. If i try to boot into the internal TWRP via n+power, it will either sit at the nook screen or the cyanoboot screen. I don't know if the CWM SD card that I tried was not working at all or just locking up on its own SD cyanoboot screen. Does that help at all?

I don't use TWRP so I don't know much about it. But both TWRP and CWM expect a working /cache partition on emmc. So that may be the issue. But unfortunately since you replaced stock recovery with TWRP, it cannot repair itself with the 8 failed boot procedure. You have to get an SD to boot to fix anything.

Yes the issue is that CWM is for installing CM to SD. That one will not find /sdcard because it is emulated and only is available after the ROM is installed.
You need to get a CWM working that is meant for installing things to emmc.
And those can't find /cache messages are worrisome.

I think your emmc is borked, not allowing those SDs made for emmc installs to boot. Those /cache errors are telling. And since you have other than stock on there and it partially boots showing that, I think you are stuck.
I think your only recourse is to put the no-emmc version on SD and run it that way. Go to the verygreen thread just before the last one I pointed to and try getting a ROM to run on it. I know nothing about that so if you have trouble, ask in that thread.

I do have the faulty chip, although its the rev6 version. I have tried my best to avoid running any trim enabled kernels. I don't know if Slimbean has trim enabled, I asked a couple times in the thread and never got a response, so I figured I'd try it and with the number of people using it I figured that it was disabled since I hadn't seen anyone having any trouble with it.

I can't seem to get my nook he plus to turn on after I try to do a hard reboot I get a small green and purple square in the middle of screen that stays for like 5 seconds then it just turns off .any ideas?
i have the same thing happening to me. i did get it to show the nook logo, then black screen for a second, then cyanogenmod then reboot.
i only got it to do that after having it charge for 3 hours.
i swear i will have EVERYTHING password protected from now on, since some little nephew of mine was monkeying around with it before it started this.

What you are seeing is the nook trying to repair itself with stock recovery (it is going into recovery, stock recovery). It is apparently not successful in completing the repair.
Have you tried a bootable CWM SD? Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature to make one.
