I flashed the new version of Pac Rom today and my Nook HD+ wouldn't connect to wifi. I rebooted, and it started bootlooping. I reflashed, and now I can't boot into any rom. I flashed a new recovery, and same issue. Flashed a new cm11 build, but can't get to it either. Can't seem to mount USB either...
Help!

If you have an SD card handy, try re-flashing using SD-based CWM recovery. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for more info/pointers.

Hi,
I installed CM10.2 on my Nook HD+ but left the stock recovery on. I figured that it would help to reinstall the stock rom if something goes wrong.
Is there a way to install CM10.2 updates on my tablet without removing the stock recovery. The sdcard-based CWM worked on the stock rom but it no longer works on CM10.2. I have tried a couple of recoveries but none of them worked.
Do I have to install a custom recovery on EMMC to be able to do updates? If so, how can I install the custom recovery after installing 10.2?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just follow the "Make the CWM sd" guide from here .It works for the cm emmc install also.
Also why would you not flash custom recovery? If something goes wrong or if you want to go back to stock you could just flash the factory stock ROM from the cwm SD you made. You can get it from the same thread.

The same CWM SD you used to flash CM10.2 should still work with CM10.2 installed on emmc. You must have somehow modified the original SD. Try making the SD from scratch again. You can keep stock recovery on emmc if you want so that you can easily reset to stock if you want.
But once you have that SD working you can still flash the CWM or TWRP zip to emmc with it, along with the updated CM you wanted to install.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
I've updated my nook HD+ to 'Nightly CM 10.2 ver. 9/13' then it has a problem now.
It can't normally boot. It was totally slow with cynogen boot screen.
so, I tried to flash former rom but I couldn't do it. I could see same situation after flashing other roms.
I tried to format emmc partition via cwm recovery but I also couldn't.
I don't know what happen with my nook. Please help me.
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.
The other day i took my HD+. I havent used it for two years, and had been running the hybrid boot from the sd card, which was awesome! Well, I wiped the SD card and wiped the tablet. So essentially it was stock.
I formatted a new microSD card with verygreens recovery, booted it, flashed the rom and google apps, and thought everything was fine. Well, I kept getting a google services stopped working error so I decided to just experiment with Marshmallow. I went into the recovery, wiped everything, and flashed amaces ASOP rom. Then tried flashing gapps, and got an error that said that I didnt have android 6.0.x
Must have failed. And when I booted from the SD, sure enough it booted to KitKat, the one I had flashed previously. Well, eventually I took out the SD and to my surprise, cyanoboot was installed to the tablet and not booting from the SD card. And the marshmallow rom launched (without gapps). I tried booting into the internal cyanoboot, but it was the old one. I held the power button and the home button, but to no avail.
This is probably where I messed stuff up. It started booting and started booting stock, which I didnt want. Where it has the little white loading bar. I force shut it down. Well then it started acting weird and not even booting with the internal cyanoboot. It now just flashes the nook logo.
Luckily, I can boot to the external cyanoboot, but it has an error mounting the emmc. Should I reflash the stock rom and recovery?
Thanks!

Running CM internally on EMMC and on SDcard use different CM ROM image versions that are not interchangeable. Currently there is no SDcard build for CM12.x or CM13, so your only choice is to flash and run them on EMMC.

If you plan to go back to stock ROM and recovery, see item #6 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613.
I don't really care about going back to stock, but I can't mount the emmc, will flashing the original recovery fix that do you think?

I don't think the cause of your "can't mount emmc" problem is due to not having the original recovery. And there is no point in restoring stock recovery unless you want to re-install stock ROM.
So what do you suggest? Try to flash to CWM recovery and hope it fixes the mounting emmc problem?
Great news! Luckily the rom was still intact. I was able to run a "factory reset" and that fixed the emmc mount problem. The CWM recovery was still installed too and it booted into Marshmallow like I had before!
At this point, can I install a different resident recovery utility? I dont see why not.
Thanks for your help
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!
