[Q] Where can I get stock ROM for restoring Nook HD+?

Hello,
Kudos to all the nice folks here for the CM mod and updates.
My Nook HD+ has battery issues and was told to send it back to B&N. I took a backup of the stock ROM before installing CM but I'm unable to find it :crying:
I've searched a lot for this and would really really appreciate a link to download the ROM and copy to the microSD card.
I believe I just need the "clockworkmod" folder on the microSD card, right? If not, it would be great to have quick steps.
Thanks again for your time..

You can get the plain stock zip that is flashable with CWM from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Item 6. That will take you back to pure stock so you can deal with B&N.

Thanks a lot for your prompt response, leapinlar.
I downloaded "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip" and extracted it to get "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).img" which I burned to the microSD card using "Win32DiskImager"
And then, I copied "NookHDplus-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock.zip" file to the card. I tried inserting this card to the Nook HD+ device but it just boots to CM instead of showing options to restore.
I believe I'm missing something. I'm so sorry to bother you but would greatly appreciate if you could spare a few moments to point me in the right direction. It would be immensely helpful.
Thanks so much again for responding.

You can try using my alternate procedure in item 1a in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.

Thanks again, leapinlar.
I tried the alternate procedure and did the following:
1. Used "SDFormatter" to format the card and used "EaseUS Partition Master" to make the single partition on the microSD card "active"
2. Copied files making sure to copy "MLO" file first before copying the rest. (Please refer to attachment for the files that were in the card)
I was able to complete the "install from SD card" option and it finished with the following message:
Code:
Random Offset: 0xcb
Boot Files...
Boot Files...
Install Complete.
When I tried rebooting the device, Nook HD+ seems to load stock but gets stuck at 99% forever. Not sure how to proceed now. Can I just go ahead and return the device or should I bring it to working condition?
Thanks again for sparing your time, leapinlar.. Greatly appreciate it.

Did you do a factory reset with CWM before rebooting after flashing the plain stock? You need to.

just to confirm
Hi. I am selling my nook hd+ and would like to restore the B&N stock rom. I am running CM 10.1 stable. Based on this thread and leapinlar's advice in his CWM thread, I have the following steps:
1. Place the backed-up nook rom zip in the CWM folder.
2. Reboot into CWM recovery
3. Wipe data and rom
4. Flash the stock zip file
Based on leapinlar's advice in his CWM thread, it is my understanding that flashing the zip will fully restore the unit to stock rom, including stock recovery. Is that correct?
EDIT: Sorry, but perhaps I was mistaken. The stock rom zip has to be loaded on the bootable CWM sd card?
Appreciate all input. Thank you.

Restoring the backup will only do the ROM and not recovery. You must flash the plain stock zip if you want both replaced. And yes, you copy the zip to the SD. And just do the factory reset, no other wiping.

When you refer to factory reset, you are referring to factory reset of the current rom on the unit (i.e. in my case, CM 10.1)?

I am talking about booting to CWM and selecting factory reset on the main menu. That will wipe all installed apps and settings on whatever is installed on internal memory.

Hello guys, I would just like to add to this- I actually wanted to restore to stock rom as well.
I remember using the img burn method as outlined before to get to cwm recovery. I actually tried the new method involving just formatting and copying the 5 boot files and copying the zips as well. However, with the sd card in the slot, the device just boots to the stock rom.
From reading leapinlar's guide, I remember saying that it will take about 10 boots to boot into cwm recovery- however, I did over 15 times now and with no success- is there any other way to get to recovery mode quicker?
I actually ended up running into TWRP recovery and there did the flashing of stock rom, but it didn't get rid of the cyanoboot screen- I think I need to go through one more factory reset in order to get rid of the boot screen, and therefore will need to access the cwm recovery.
Any help will be appreciated. thanks

You flashed my plain stock 2.1.1 zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread with TWRP? That should have taken it completely back to stock without the cyanoboot logo showing. Factory reseting will not remove it. Are you sure it completed properly?

thanks for the reply-
Actually I did do that- and sure enough the nook logos are showing now- but the cyanoboot logo still shows in the beginning. I think the solution is to try these steps again in cwm recovery instead of twrp- not sure how to get there though- can you offer me any advice in booting into cwm recovery mode ? Doing the recovery multiple times haven't really worked out so far.

Are you sure you flashed the plain stock and not my rooted stock? Rooted stock would cause the cyanoboot logo to still show.

yes! I actually flashed the rooted stock. So then the next question I have is- is it possible to have no cyanoboot logo yet have the device rooted?
also, I am still wondering as to why the cwm recovery is not showing up when I use my sd. is the method using img recovery still valid?
thanks for your help, as always.

Yes, my root methods before rev3 used the old way of rooting, without the revised boot.img. But those versions did not have the /system file protection removed. But I removed it from my site when I published rev3.
And yes the CWM SD is still valid using both methods. But sometimes the img method is harder to achieve.

do you mean by flashing universal root rev2 on pure stock rom, there should not be cyanboot logo?
can you please explain removed system file protection? do you mean the root is not complete? some app can not get su access?

That is correct, there is no cyanoboot logo with rev2. And rev2 works perfectly as root.
What I mean by no removed file protection is that with rev2 you cannot change any files in /system without it being detected and on the next boot it resetting itself to pure stock with no root. With rev3 that file protection for /system is removed, but it shows the cyanoboot logo. It is a trade off.
If you want rev2 I can repost the link.

So, I have used every trick you have posted to recover or install a new rom. After I install the rom and GAPPS with the bootable SD card, I restart and it just sits on the NOOK screen. I did notice I get a this: INSTALLING UPDATE / Random OFFSET: 0x26d / Boot Files...Boot Files...
The Random Offset number changes each time I try to install the rom.......any ideas?

Stuck in bootloop, ROM running from SD

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?

If it always boots to recovery, you are in a recovery bootloop. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 10.

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.

I flashed the recovery onto it, I get "error mounting emmc" and flash was successful(weird).
Anyway I'm trying to install a noemmc rom, out of all the noemmc recoveries that I have tried, only one seemed to work, all others loaded straight to emmc recovery. What do you think is the problem?

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.

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? I am willing to write a very comprehensive guide for recoverying a dead nook, with all problems that I faced and a compilation of threads, posts, and users that helped recover the tablet from the dead.

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

[Q] NookHD wont let me boot to stock after trying to install new rom

I was trying to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2097731
because my tablet kept having soft reboots. I updated everything it told me to and now I have cyanoboot. I forgot to download the updated rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2063968
to my NookHD and I'm stuck at the bootloader like an idiot. I tried to adb-push the rom but no luck. I tried a tutorial but it wanted me to adb push to sdcard which I'm very sure it doesn't have enough space. I tried removing the micro sdcard to and see if it'll boot me back to stock but instead it tries to boot to cm which is not on the tablet anymore. Help me please.

Got to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a (make sure to make a new one, don't use the one you had for the hybrid). Then use it to flash a plain stock 2.1.1 zip from item 6. Then do a factory reset with CWM. You should be fixed then and can start over.

You are using too new of a version of CWM. Use the one made from the instructions from item 1a. It has to be older than version 6045. Then use the CWM to do a factory reset and to flash the plain stock zip.

Now I can power up to black background Nook screen but it is stuck there until I turn it off. I see various posts that are loosely related to my issue, and I have already tried to boot from sd card (only from a single sd card though, I will need to grab another sd card to test given known issues regarding this matter.) Now I am at a loss......is this nook hd finished? I also have my last and recent TWRP backup saved on my PC if I can reinstall working recovery....thanks in advance!
