I have flashed android ROMs successfully about a dozen times, but always get myself in trouble in the process. It never goes smoothly for me. I am pretty much a noob.
I was following steps outlined here, but when flashing internal recovery, I got an error message stating that it was corrupted and I had to reboot. After reboot, I cannot boot into Nook - it loops continuously and finally boots into CWM 6.0.4.6
At this point, I would be happy to install Kit-Kat 4.4 from SD, but ideally I would like it to be on EMMC
please, help me get this working! Thank you in advance.
You need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then use that CWM to flash the plain stock zip from item 6. Follow that with a factory reset with CWM and when you boot without the SD inserted you will be back to plain stock so you can start over. If you want to try installing CM11 again follow the dummies guide also linked in my signature.

Section 6 deals with restoring
Stock revert for dummies!?
For those of us that are thick, could someone step us through the factory restore process?
Did the Android upgrade for my wife but she does not like it. She wants to revert back to Nook HD+ stock firmware!
Thanks in advance.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 6. Download plain stock 2.1.0 and flash it with the same CWM that you flashed CM10.1 with. Then do a factory reset with the same CWM. That should take you completely back to unregistered stock.

When you refer to CWM, do you mean the initial bootable CWM on the sd card or the CWM subsequently installed on the unit?
Can we load the stock firmware zip onto a blank sd card, reboot to the installed cwm recovery, wipe cache and do a factory reset, then use the 'install zip from sd card" option to flash the stock firmware?
After flashing the stock firmware zip, will it be completely stock (i.e. recovery, kernel, rom)? Thanks.

Either CWM is ok.
Yes to your second paragraph, but you do not need to wipe cache since the factory reset does that too.
And yes, if you flash that plain stock 2.1.0 and factory reset, it is completely stock. Your media files on internal memory remain though. If you want them gone too you must go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia' before you reboot.

So I rooted the nook hd+ and I'm trying to get it back to stock using CWM and the stock 2.1.1 zip supplied in this thread in section 6. The problem is, whenever I boot to CWM and try to install the .zip, I get this error:
"Failed to retouch '/system/lib/libemoji.so'"
I'm not sure what's causing this, and also if I go through the steps of just reinstalling the stock 2.1.1 ROOTED .zip in that same thread, it goes thorugh fine. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm basically just trying to get it back to a stock, unrooted form. Thank you,

Go to CWM mounts and storage and format /system before flashing the stock zip. That fixed it for me. If it does not, try the 2.1.0 version.

I gave that a try, it gives me the same error. It actually also says after that error "E: Error in sdcard/NookHDplus....file name" (Status 7)"
Is there something wrong with the file perhaps? Like I said if I run the rooted .zip, it goes through fine.
EDIT: I figured it out. To get it to go through I did it in the following steps:
- booted to CWM, formatted system and wiped data/factory reset
- rebooted to CWM, installed .zip
And it worked. I was doing all of those things, just not quite in that order. Thanks for the help, you do great work here.
I was using succlent's rom from may 23. Today I saw that there was an update. So I downloaded and wiped then flashed it. after that I booted into it for the first time and installed all of my apps. Everything to seemed be going Ok so I rebooted into recovery deleted my old backup and a made a new backup of my newer rom with twrp. After it was done I rebooted and it would only boot into twrp. Please tell someone knows what's wrong :'(
Try restoring your new backup. There is a flag in /bootdata that needs to get reset so it boots to the ROM instead of recovery.
If that does not work, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a and use that to flash the plain stock zip from item 6. Follow that with a factory reset. That should make it bootable again.
If you saved your CM11 backup you may be able to put TWRP back and restore CM11.

I had this happen to me twice and both times I had to boot to CM on an SD card to break the cycle. Worked fine after that.

My Nook HD+ keeps rebooting to my EMMC recovery (currently CWM 6.0.4.6) no matter what I try. It all started with a botched CM11 install from a while back. Since then I've tried installing CM11 M8 and CM10 RC2 through both the emmc recovery and the bootable sd card recovery. Even when the install goes smoothly, my Nook will just reboot back into whichever recovery I have installed.
Not sure what the problem is but would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

I got the similar problem on my nook hd (version : CM10.1). Someday, it automatically upgraded and i interrupt it, then a tragedy comes. It always get into cyanboot and recovery 6.0.4.6 when i rebooted. And i try flash newer CM, but it always reboot. Then i try many ways during several days.
When i just wanted to give up, the miracle showed. My nook was connected on PC with internet, the screen is stuck on cyanboot as usually. Then new screen pop up to ask me set language.
I quickly flash recovery, CM11 and google market. In this time, recovery 6.0.4.6 was worked but i didn't why and how. BUT when i reboot it, it still went into cyanboot and recovery 6.0.4.6. In recovery menu, i try advanced-->reboot to bootloader. Yes, i got into new CM11 :crying:
Now, although my nook get into recovery 6.0.4.6 when it rebooted, but tap advanced-->reboot to bootloader, which get 100% into CM11.
It really a tough work, and i still don't know how i solve it~~
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444630 for an explanation of one common (but not the only possible) cause of the "recovery boot loop" problem. Although it was written for the Nook Tablet, the same mechanism also applies to the Nook Color, Nook HD/HD+.
For the Nook Tablet (not HD/HD+), there is a flashable_fix_bootloop.zip created by XDA developer succulent (and posted at his Blog http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/) that can be flashed (using CWM/TWRP) to reset the two files BCB and BootCnt and thereby getting the NT out of the recovery boot loop condition; with a little tweak this tool can be adapted for use with another Nook device type such as HD or HD+.
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.
