Hi all,
I've got a Nook HD+ running CM10.1 with the hybrid SD card installation (many thanks to everyone who helped develop this - it rocks! ),
and I'm having issues whenever I reboot the device.
When left alone, 9 times out of 10 it will just stay on the Cyanogenmod animation indefinitely (well 10 minutes is the most I've left it)....
It always seems to see the SD card as it never just reboots to stock (always see the Cyanogenmod boot logo) so I can get into CWM or boot the nook to stock.
The only way I seem to be able to get it to boot consistently is to boot into CWM is to re-flash the CM10.1 rom / load the converter zip and the reboot from CWM.
I've installed quick boot into CM10.1 but I've nat managed to get it to install into stock yet as I'm getting the 'Installation Blocked' message - So I'm guessing that I need to sideload that in from my PC (unless I'm missing an obvious way to install this via the stock Nook interface?)
Does everyone else have this issue?
It's not the end of the world as I'll probably only have to boot from cold if I have a crash, but it would be good to know if there are any more graceful solutions out there....?
Also, is there a way to get your PC (windows 7) to read the large partition on the SD card after it has been imaged (so you can write files to it directly)?
Thanks for you help
Macca
When it keeps getting stuck on the boot animation, try going to CWM and the advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache and see if it boots ok. If that does not work, just try flashing the converter without reflashing the CM.
To put quick boot on stock you need to root stock and add at least the extras zip so that unknown sources is authorized. But I recommend the whole gaps + extra zip. Quick boot will not work without root.
And no, there is no way for Windows to see the sdcard partition by directly inserting the card in the PC. You must leave the card in the Nook and use the USB cable.

Thanks for the quick reply mate,
I'll try just clearing the dalvik cache next time.
Thanks for clearing up the quick boot thing - I'll root the stock later tonight.
Cheers

Hello again mate,
I might need a little more help it would seem.......
I had read a reply you had posted in another thread that I should be able to just boot into CWM and flash the stock Nook ROM with your zips (even though I already have hybrid CM10.1 installed.
So - I did just that....
Before doing any of this I did do a backup in CWM
I downloaded "NookHD-HDplus-Universal-Root-rev2-(02.02.13).zip" and "NookHD-HDplus-Gapps+Extras.zip" to my internal memory, booted into CWM and Flashed both zip files (universal root rev 2 first).
When I rebooted, I forgot to hold down the nook key to boot to stock and I ended up in CM10.1 but flashing the zips above seemed to have messed around with CM10.1 as I had no apps pinned and the dialogue box asking about which launcher I wanted popped up....?
So I went back into CWM did a restore and re-flashed CM10.1 / Converter.zip's and my CM10.1 installation is now back to normal.
However, it still looks like the stock is rooted as I get the launcher dialogue box and have assess to the google app store etc...
Quick boot still won't work though as it's saying that it can't detect that the device is rooted....
So, If you managed to make it through all that - What did I do wrong and how badly have I messed my nook up?
What do I need to do to successfully root my stock?
Thanks again for your help
Macca
I might have figured it out myself now...
I didn't remove the SD card from the nook after rooting stock before rebooting out of CWM.
I've just re-rooted stock, took the SD card out and then rebooted and it took me into the rooted stock without any issues (quick boot now works as well )
CM10.1 also seems to be happy so it looks like I'm golden (it booted 1st time after quick booting out of stock)
Cheers

So, I just got a HD+ and I was ready to try out CM10.1 emmc.
I got all the required files and such ready.
I booted into CWM sdcard, and I forgot to take a backup, and I flashed TWRP recovery. I rebooted and now when I remove the sd card, it's stuck in a boot loop.
The nook logo comes up, the screen dims after a few seconds, and then it reboots, and repeats forever.
I tried flashing stock recovery from another thread this file : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41392480&postcount=4
Still nothing.
I backed everything else up AFTER flashing recovery. So if I can just fix this, I can take a proper backup and proceed with the CM10.1 install.
Thanks
First off, if you are interested in using the emmc recovery for making backups and restores, don't use TWRP. That feature is broken in that version.
If you want to go back to stock first so you can back it up, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and get my plain stock 2.1.0 from item 6 and flash that with your bootable CWM SD. That will put everything back to stock, including recovery.
Then just start over again with your bootable CWM card. Backup, then flash the CWM emmc recovery, the CM10.1 zip and gapps, wipe data and reboot.

Nevermind, I just tried something and it worked. (Complete accident btw didn't know what I was doing)
I long pressed hom button while it was booting, and the Adobe disclaimer from the bottom dissapeared a blue bar started loading under the Nook logo. It loaded twice and then it booted up
Any idea what just happened?

Oh, cool. Well it appears to have been factory reset, and it seems to have gone down to 2.0.0 or something (even though it came with 2.1.0 out of the box). Now it's running 2.0.6. It told me that 2.1.0 is available to update, and I started it. But it doesn't appear to be moving forward. Will come back on the status of that in a bit again.

Yes that is how it repairs itself. But it needs the stock recovery to do that. Once you put that back, it took over and proceeded to reset itself.
Just let it do its thing.

Sweet. Okay, I'm back to how it was when I first bought it. Going to put CM10.1 now.
Okay, so I need to take a backup first, then flash CWM, CM10.1, and then GApps. That's it right?

Okay, btw. I took the backup, and I selected reboot, before I proceeded with the flashing.
It asked me if I should flash stock recovery and if I should enable root access (I selected no for both as selecting yes was the cause of the problem before)

Why did you reboot?
You lost me on that last statement. What asked if you should enable root access? Something in stock?

Okay basically. I made two SD cards with CWM. One which I'll leave as a permanent backup card, and another with the other packages (it kept formatting to 856MB after I made it a bootable card no matter how big the actual card is, and so I couldnt fit both the backup and the CM10.1+Gapps zips on a single card)
I first made the backup on one card, and I hit reboot system, to swap it for the other one.
But when I pressed reboot, it asked me this:
ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes- Disable recovery flash
-No
-No
-No
I hit no.
Then it followed up with this:
Root access is missing. Root Device?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes - Root device (/system/xbin/su)
-No
-No
-No
I hit no for this too, since it didn't quite make sense.
So yeah. I'm pretty confused. Never ran into anything like that before on other devices.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 1a. There is a new procedure to make a bootable CWM SD on any size card. I suggest you use that. Then you have room for backups and zips. My card works equally well with verygreen's, but is bigger. You may have to use SDFormatter with size adjustment like I say in the thread to get your full size back from the verygreen SD.
Those CWM messages are harmless, just keep saying no. My cards give the first message, but I have never seen the second one before.

Thanks, I finished installing CM10.1.
But there seems to be a bit of lag. When I tried it with the SD card boot (not emmc), I assumed that it was slow because of the SD card. But it's the same even on this. Anyway to speed things up?

I'm in recovery bootloop hell!
I just received my Nook HD+ yesterday and immediately tried to root it using the Nook HD+ for dummies thread.
I used NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13) for my bootable SD card.
I added these files cm-10.1-20130630-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip
cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
(also used twrp on the first attempt but read about not being fully functional so I stopped using it)
I made a backup of the original ROM which I already registered with B&N.
Booted into CWM recovery and proceeded to wipe data/factory reset, flash cwm-recovery-ovation-2.zip, cm-10.1-20130630-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-emmc.zip, and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip in that order. Eject sd card and reboot.
Now all I get is four reboots and it goes back to CMW recovery everytime. I can restore back to stock (thankfully) if I want to but I really want to get this working. You think my partition 2 is damaged and needs repair?
Any help will be deeply appreciated!

No, the partition 2 repair thing is for the Nook Color. I recommend redownloading the CM10.1 zip and try flashing again.

Hi,
Just attempting to upgrade to CM11, and have hit a hurdle at the first step.
Having prompted via the power button to reboot to recovery, the device is now stuck alternating between the default nook load start screen and the cyanboot bootloader logo.
Any ideas please how to force a proper boot either back into the OS or recovery as intended?
Thanks!

At the moment, do you have CyanogenMod installed or the stock ROM? If CM, why not try creating a bootable CWM Recovery on a SD card. Using that SD card (turn Nook off, insert SD card and turn on), boot into CWM Recovery and install EMMC recovery + CM (and optionally Gapps). That should hopefully solve your issue.
You may not be able to boot into CWM Recovery instantly with the bootable CWM Recovery on SD, as newer Nook's often have problems; but keep trying.
All the best.
I'm running CM 10.1.3 at the moment,
Thanks, will try that as I think that's how I originally installed (was a while ago!).
Only issue I might have is that I don't seem to have a 4Gb card around, so may have to purchase one and then get back to you.
Will try with a 32Gb card for now.
Cheers for your help!

Of course, you can try with your 32GB SD card; it shouldn't be a major problem, it can still work too. Apologies if it's a silly question, but are you able to boot into CM10.1.3 at the moment? And if you power the Nook off completely, then turn it back on, does it still freeze at boot up?
Also, did you install a newer version of CWM Recovery for CM11, before flashing CM11? If so, that may make it harder for you to boot into a bootable CWM via SD card, as some users are reporting issues. If not, then once you have this issue solved, downloaded and install the latest CWM then try flashing CM11 again; and hopefully you shouldn't have any issues.
All the best.

Nope, can't boot into 10.1.3, literally all I did was select to reboot into recovery and it locked up in this booting loop without ever being able to load.
I had CWN Recovery 6 and CM11 on the internal memory ready to update, following upgrade instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
Was I supposed to install the latest CWN Recovery version from the OS rather than from recovery mode?
I've now loaded up my old bootable SD used when first installing 10.1.3 and managed to get into the bootloader.
It says I am in Recovery 6.0.2.8...
How is best to proceed? Try and recover 10.1.3 first or continue trying to update to CM11?
Cheers.
I'm glad you managed to boot back into recovery using your SD card. From here, I'd install CM10.1.3 and install CM11 after; so at least we have the Nook working for certain.
In the bootable SD recovery, install CWM Recovery and CM10.1.3. Then boot into CM, and hopefully that should solve your issue. We can then move forward to CM11.
If you have a Nook HD, download "CWM Recovery" from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319000 (5th paragraph)
Or if you have a Nook HD+: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553 (3rd paragraph)
After downloading the CWM Recovery, download CM10.1.3 for either Nook HD (Hummingbird) or Nook HD+ (ovation). Put them both on your internal storage or SD card; and using the recovery you're able to boot into using your SD card, install both the CWM Recovery and CM10.1.3. Eject your SD card, and reboot your Nook. Hopefully you should be able to boot into CyanogenMod; thus solving your issue(s).
Now, we'll concentrate on upgrading to CM11. The guide you're following to update to CM11 is correct, and should be good to go. So, download the latest "recovery image (CWM)" for your device from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572 and also download CM11.
Place the "recovery image (CWM)" onto your internal storage/SD card;
Boot into your current recovery, and install the recovery image (similar to how you install CM);
Now reboot your device back into recovery;
Now install CM11 (and gapps if you desire).
That should be it hopefully, and you should be in CM11. Just make sure you install the newer CWM at step 1.
All the best, and I do apologise if I didn't explain everything clearly.
Hello-
(edit: sorry, I guess I meant to say RECOVERY loop)
Last night I tried to update my Cyanogenmod to 11 but it failed horribly.
I have tried to downgrade to hummingbird 10.2.1 and 10.1.3 but both of these, although the installs are "successful" just leave me to boot loop back into the Clockworkmod recovery screen. The thing is, I don't have the SD card that I used to back up the original firmware, so I can't install it. I also can't seem to find that information anywhere online. I first installed Cyanogenmod ages ago and since moved and lost the SD card. Could anyone point me in the direction of how to stop this reboot loop and get me to at least turn the device on?
I figure if I can somehow get it back to the original NOOK firmware, I can start from step 1 with installing everything but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
Thanks!
You are on the right track. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a (the version you are using for CM11 will not work). Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a factory reset with CWM. Then you should be able to start over.

So, I was running the latest CM snapshot on my Nook HD+ and decided that I wanted to have TWRP instead of CWM as my custom recovery. I downloaded the latest TWRP img and flashed using Flashify. I rebooted and now it's stuck on the 'Nook' boot screen and doesn't progress. I can't boot into recovery or the OS. What should I do?
Apologies in advance for my naivity!
Okay, more details. Tried to run CWM recovery from a bootable SD card (as per instructions on another thread). With the SD card in the Nook won't even power on (black screen). Have a bricked it?
Solved! Tried a different SD card and was able to boot recovery and reinstall the ROM.
Was feeling like Samuel L Jackson (ie a bad mother f*cker) and tried to flash TWRP again, this time using Rashr, and it worked fine. Hope this helps someone!
