[Q] Problem with rooted Nook and ROM Manager

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to put this - I'm not sure if it's a Nook Color, Cyanogenmod, ROM Manager, or Clockworkmod issue. I just rooted my NC to CM7 using Clockworkmod and it seems to work fine. I tried installing the GoogleApps .zip file at the same time. It said it was successful, but I don't see any of the Google apps in the apps drawer.
So, I went to ROM Manager to try and fix this. When I first opened ROM Manager it said I needed an SD Card installed to use it (I had removed it after the successful flash). So I inserted the card and mounted it in Settings->Storage and tried again. Now when I click on anything it says "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."
If I click the Install button, the dialog closes and nothing happens. If I click the menu option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" the title of the screen (ROM Manager v4.2.0.0) flashes for a split second. That's it. Nothing is installed.
If I reboot while holding the upside-down U button I eventually get an "Update failed!" screen that looks like it comes from the standard Nook UI. If I try to reboot into recovery using the Power button it just reboots as normal.
I've found a large amount of resources online regarding the "unable to reboot into recovery" issue, but I feel like I don't know enough about what I'm actually doing to implement them. I also don't know how the inability to flash ClockworkMod fits into this. It's especially strange how selecting the option to flash it actually does nothing.
Anyone have ideas?

Question, did you have clockworkmod installed on your sd when you flashed cm7 or was it installed internally? Can you boot into recovery with rom manager? If clockwork is on sd, find the newest clockwork zip and flash it with your card internally. That should allow you to update to the newest version in Rom Manager. Try reflashing gapps.

Clockworkmod was installed on the SD card.
I cannot boot into recovery using ROM Manager. It just restarts the device as normal.
I believe I have the latest CWM because I grabbed it from their website yesterday (4.2.0.0). How do I flash it internally? That's what I was attempting to do with ROM Manager. I followed the steps listed in thread #922870 on this forum (still can't post links) and I believe that results in CWM on internal memory, but ROM Manager still behaves the same way.
I did reflash gapps twice, but there is still no Maps, Market, Gmail, etc.

I just noticed something else. When I mount my SD card on the NC it shows up as empty: /mnt/sdcard has no contents. Does this indicate an error with the SD card and/or partitions? I am using the 8 GB image of CWM on my 16 GB card (because there is no 16 GB version).

Your SD card has clockwork burned as an image which the nook cannot read. You can format the card later for use (go to nookdevs website). I am attaching a zip file for clockworkmod 3.0.1.0 (credit goes to Mistar Muffin). Put that on your SD card, insert it into the nook and boot it up. It should take you into recovery. You can then flash the zip file and get Clockworkmod on your emmc. You should be able to update to the new version 3.0.2.8 from Rom Manager at that point. I think the nook is confused with the absence of Clockwork internally. As far as your rom goes, I would boot into recovery when the Clockworkmod issue is resolved and reflash the CM7 build, reboot, go back into recovery and flash the gapps. You can repeat the process with an overclocked kernel if you choose. This zip is a file that floated around the forum for awhile. It was removed when Clockworkmod got an update. I have used it on my nook. It should be safe. Good luck

Thanks for your help; unfortunately this did not work. Nothing has changed. I placed the zip file in my SD card that already has CWM imaged. I went to "Install zip from SD card" and installed the zip. It completely successfully. Then I rebooted and entered ROM Manager, which told me I needed the SD card back in. I mounted the SD card and am encountering the same issues as before.
What could I have possibly done to mess this up? I followed all the steps listed on the Cyanogenmod website and they never mention anything about flashing CWM internally. Another question - why do I need the SD card for ROM Manager if that app is downloading things from the internet?
Thanks!

How would I reinstall ROM manager? I don't have any sort of Market on the device.

Best best bet is going back to stock and trying from scratch

Sorry, my bad. I forget that Rom Manager is part of the CM7 package. You should not need the sd card for Rom Manager to work properly. I am not sure why it is calling for it. Can you reboot into recovery with the power+n method, not the SD card? If you can do that, it tells me clockwork installed correctly. If you can get there, I would do your formats (data, system) and reflash the rom. Another option, if Titanium Backup is part of the rom package try to wipe data in rom manager and give it another try. You may can do that in manage applications (I don't have my nook with me). The link below may or may not help. Look at option 3. The 3.0.1.0 zip it is calling for is the one I sent you prior. I am about out of options. Good luck.

AHA! I solved it, and it wasn't directly an issue with anything except my stupidity. I was connecting to my company's guest wireless, which as it turns out requires a username/password before you get anything other than the login screen. That is why the ROM manager was failing to flash itself - it had a worthless wifi connection. When I switched to another wireless access point it works just fine.
Thanks for your assistance bdcrim! Sorry it wasn't a more satisfying conclusion.

Thats okay, glad you got it going. Made me dig a bit, which probably helped both of us be a little more educated for future issues. Have a great day.

[Solved] Installing recovery?

After some finagling around with a hybrid install of CM10.1 on my HD+, I've now installed the Carbon rom to EMMC. My main memory card is a 32GB microSD card and I've got a bootable CWM setup on a spare 64MB microSD card.
Switching back and forth just to get into CWM recovery is getting annoying, and I've noticed that in the power button menu on the Carbon rom, there's an option to reboot straight into recovery but it doesn't work. It simply takes me to some error graphic that says "install failed" and that I should power the device off and back on. I've tried to install CWM via Rom Manager and TWRP via the GooManager app, but both tell me it couldn't find a proper recovery for my device and won't install. Rom Manager is quite odd, it says it's detected that both TWRP and CWM are installed. Is there a way to install recovery onto the Nook HD+ so I don't have to keep switching microSD cards? I've looked around the forums and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43173042&postcount=1195
but that appears to only be for verygreen's CM10.1. Trying to install that via the bootable CWM microSD card fails.

That boot to recovery is booting to stock recovery and that is what is giving you that error message.
And do not use ROM Manager, it will mess up you device. And GooManager does not support this device.
Verygreen's CWM should work fine on your Carbon ROM. That link pointed to his TWRP recovery and he may have put an assert statement to only flash on his ROM (what was the error message?). Try his CWM and see if it flashes. It should install and work fine.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.

Oh boy do I feel stupid. I guess I was lacking sleep - I had downloaded the wrong TWRP filesin verygreen's post. Instead of using the flashable zip (twrp-recovery-ovation-3.zip) I accidentally tried to use the other file he linked to (ovation-sdcard-twrp-files.zip). The filenames not being very descriptive didn't stop me from going ahead and wondering what the hell wasn't working.
All's well, TWRP loads fine and the reboot to recovery option in the power menu works as well.

Nook HD 9 stuck on Nook logo

Here is my problem description:-
I was using CM10.1.3 emmc with CWM latest version as suggested in the respective thread. I have installed a SD formatter app from Google Play and tried to format my 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card inside the device. After that, the sd card was non writable. So I tried to restart the device, but alas, it got stuck in the 1st Black screen with the big Nook. Not even able to boot into CWM. Even the CyanogenMod logo didn't come.
I have a bootable CWM (6.0.28) recovery MicroSD card (8GB Class 4) and used it to boot into recovery, cleared Cache/ Factory reset, Dalvik Cache and then again flashed Carbon unofficial 4.3 JB rom and Gapps for JB 4.3. But it still getting stuck in the 1st Nook screen.
After reading a lots of thread here, it looks like that during the format of SD card, it somehow destroyed the proper partitions of the emmc. But unlike others mentioned in different Bricked Nook HD thread, I am able to access each components of emmc when booted from CWM Bootable card, able to mount internal storage etc.
So, is there a solution to restore the emmc partitioning properly? I tried to connect it to PC for connecting it through adb but didn't have the proper usb driver for it. The driver I got, needs the hardware id of the product to modify the inf file which sadly I can't access in the device.
I also tried to restore it to stock 2.2 rom from the CWM backup created earlier before installing CM10.1.3. It got restored but didn't solve the problem, it still getting stuck into Black screen with Nook written to it, the one comes before CM logo.
Please help.

Anyone? Please guys help me here.

What SD formatter app program from Play Store are you talking about? I need to know that so I can determine what you did?
Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app

I have used the tool AParted (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted) and tried to format my 32GB Samsung Class 10 MicroSD card.
BTW, in the mean time, I did little bit of digging and got the Serial of the Tab and if you want can share with you. I have also tried to install the CM10.2 SD card version with CWM 6.027 Bootable SD card. I was able to push the Zip files to the SD card using QtADB tool by mounting the SD card in the CWM menu, installed the CM rom to SD card and then installed the Gapps for JB 4.3. Still unable to boot into CM, it is going to CWM in every restart. Used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364 for installation.

You are using some strange and outdated tools. That AParted probably really messed up you internal memory.
That guide is an old one for putting CM10 on an SD install. And you do not install the SD version of CM10.2 with that 6027 bootable CWM SD. Pick a newer guide and start again.

Actually I realised that and used the new guide for for installation of latest CM10.2 build by using the latest guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36421852#post36421852. But whenever I am trying to boot into CM10.2, it is getting booted into CWM recovery.
I have checked in another thread where you had made a ZIP file to fix the internal storage structure, is it possible for my case.? Should I use this guide: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/

I have used the method in http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/ and installed 10.2. But during restart, it is showing the message that /Bootdata/BCB missing and probably that is the reason, it is always rebooting into recovery mode. I have checked in one thread where you have made a flashable Zip file to restore the system partitions. Can it be done for my case?
Waiting for your answer.

Will that fix the emmc partitions in HD+? Initially I have installed CM10.1.3 by using this method and after the issue occurred, I tried to install the Carbon 4.3 ROM through CWM recovery after performing FActory reset, cache cleaning and Dalvik Cache cleanup. But that didn't solve the issue. I have even tried to restore the stock Nook 2.2 firmware from the CWM recovery which I created earlier before installing the CM10.3. But the issue didn't get resolved.

If you used the CWM from that thread and flashed the plain stock 2.2.0, it should have fixed it.

I have tried the following steps:-
Downloaded the TWRP emmc 2.6 Bootfiles, copied them to a 64GB Class 10 sd card by formatting it to FAT32, setting it to active and then copied the Files (MLO file 1st) into it.
Also copied Nook stock 2.2 zip in the sd card.
With the card installed, Nook HD+ booted into TWRP recovery.
Performed a factory reset and wipe data.
Installed the stock rom.
After that, I checked the Bootfile partition and it was having the BCB file.
I am also able to access 27GB Emmc and copied all the zip files to Internal store using TWRP file manager.
Now I took out the SD card and tried to boot the Tab but it was again stuck into 1st Boot screen with Nook logo.
When I inserted the card 2nd time and checked the Boot Data partition using the TWRP's integrated file manager, there was nothing inside of the /BootData folder.
Is there a way to build the /Bootfiles/BCB for Nook HD plus?

it will do no good to build that file since you already had it and the boot to emmc wiped it out. TWRP puts it back when it exits, but your normal boot seems to remove it.

Please suggest me a solution for it. I read here that there is a special type of SD installation possible with no access to the emmc and the OS will threat the SD card like it treats the emmc. Could you link me to a proper guide to do that?
Also, in my case, what might be the main problem of deletion of the Bootdata partition during emmc boot? Is there any possible solution for it?

Also, if possible, provide me the Zip file for the fix, just wanted to try it out as nothing is working till now.

Anybody? please let me know how to fix the emmc partitions. I still has hope as I am completely able to access my EMMC via SD card boot.While using TWRP recovery, I can even copy files from my SD card to internal memory of the device. Also able to flash Roms too.
So please provide me a flashable Zip file which can reconstruct the EMMC file structure for proper boot.

I'm also in need of the same thing. I believe SD card manager or some such program fubared my partitions so now my Nook HD+ just hangs at the nook logo when booting from EMMC. I can boot off SD just fine though.

I was also in a similar situation in that I was stuck at the nook screen and not able to go beyond. I thought it was due to a discharged battery and leaving the Nook in my car in -20 F weather. However, I was not able to enter recovery. I found a thread by Verygreen detailing an SD card only installation for bad emmc units. I dd'd the image to the sd card and booted to cwm on the card. Then shut down, pulled the sd card and copied the rom to the card. Rebooted and the install went through correctly. I now have a working Nook HD+ although I don't have emmc access. But at least it works now. I found the thread in one of the other "Stuck on Nook screen" threads. Hope this helps you.

Nook HD+ recovery loops, status 7 and so on

Hi there,
i'm having huge problems getting my HD+ fixed.
what happened: shut down out of nowhere, didnt boot the ROM, just TWRP recovery loops. Flashing and wiping did nothing good to the device. I always got errors when trying to install zips (data1 not found or something like this), but somehow the installation of CWM worked.
At the moment: CWM 6.0.4.5, when booting into recovery, under mounts/storage it says that system, data rom and bootdata arent mounted (but i can mount them from there).
trying to flash a new ROM or other zips doesnt work: Status 7.
I've read several threads over here, but I'm still confused and dont know how to save my HD+. Which exact files should i flash in which order? How to get rid of status 7?
Thank you so much.
Greetings
Richy

That v6045 of CWM is causing the status 7 errors. You need an older version for older zips. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then you can flash whatever you want, including that plain stock zip from item 6.

Hi,
thanks for your answers.
I made a CWM SD as described. I put it into my HD+. But how do I avoid my Nook booting into the already-installed emmc-6.0.4.5? I rebooted it several times and always landed in the 6.0.4.5, so I assume i'm not in the SD-CWM which i desperately need. I also pushed "NookHDplus-CWM-6036-for-internal-memory-rev1-(09.22.13).zip" to the internal memory and tried to flash this, but no chance - status 7.
As I see it, the problem is to get into the older CWM-SD because the 6.0.4.5 won't let me install earlier CWMs (status 7)?

Can you boot 11? I have found my new nook won't boot from the SDcard unless I boot unmount the old card and mount the new one before booting.

Seems as if i have the problem lots of other users have encountered: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688&page=6
When I installed CWM/CM the first time, I didnt have any problem with this, using the exact same hardware. Is it even possible to boot right from SD with my emmc-installed 6045, or is it just bad luck like those other guys in the thread mentioned?
Sideload doesnt work neither, CWM 6045 tells me to begin sideloading, but ADB gives me the whole "help"-listing instead (as if I used a wrong command or something: adb sideload filename.zip) of a working sideload-process. When I start sideload in CWM, "adb devices" gives me "host", dont know if this is good.

You mean I should try to boot CM11 from SDcard (i assume i end up with the same problem that the Nook doesnt want to boot from SD-CWM)? Where should I unmount the card? I dont think i'm getting your idea
Thank you!

On my new replacement Nook I can't boot to any SDcards no matter if they are CWM or CM unless I boot into a working OS unmount the card I have in there eject it and put another one in while still booted then do a reboot it then boots every time off the new card.

Now the stock OS is installed. But I have problems getting into the SD-CWM. At the moment, it doesnt boot at all when the SD card is my Nook. Very strange behaviour.
I don't have a second SD-card, so I can't try that.

My Nook has Version 2.2 of B&N Software. I have to restore the Nook to get it to boot from SD Card. I am new so I am having issues finding the right combination of files to install the nightly build of CM11 without getting a status 7. There are so many builders and files on this forum and everything I have tested so far has been a no go. Can someone give me a specific set of files that will work with the nightly build of CM 11? It would be greatly appreciated!

Create a bootable SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
- format SD card with SDFormatter
- set the only partition to "active" with MiniTool Partition Wizard
- "flash"/"burn" a bootable-CWM-image, for me it OINLY worked with "NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-small-rev4-(05.15.13).zip" (boots every time to SD-CWM, using the 4GB-version didnt work even after 30+ trys
- add your CM11-zip to the SD card using your windows explorer
- add flash_recovery_ovation_CWM_6.0.4.5b_internal.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/ovation/recovery
- put it in your Nook, boot it up, if you're lucky you see CWM
- flash the 6.0.4.5b CWM, then you're ready to flash the newest CM11. If you want to flash an older version of CM such as 10.1 or 10.2, you need a lower CWM version to avoid status 7 errors.
- flash CM11
That was my way to CM11, but there is one huge problem at the moment: CM won't boot, it loops the CM-bootlogo infinitely. several wipes did nothing, still looping. My CWM always says on bootup that /system/ (besides others) isnt mounted, but I can mount them without a problem, flashing the CM-ROM doesnt produce errors.
I don't know how to avoid the CM bootlogo-loop

Had to reboot about 8 times to get my nook to read 32 gig SD card.

I had to reboot my nook at least 8 times to get it to read my SD card so I could install succulents 07FEB2014, using TWRP, because I was getting error 7 when installing via CWM.6.0.26 If I had known better, I would have copied the 07FEB2014 (stable) build to my internal memory and installed with TWRP from there. I somehow got into a loop where I could only boot into TWRP, finally being able to install seemed to fix this. I am loving the 07FEB2014 build. Keep up the good work gentle men and women! I really love this build.

[Q] Nook HD keeps booting into CWM/Cyanoboot

I have two NookHD+ but bought a HD for one of my sons. Got it yesterday and went about trying to figure out how to get CM 11 or 10.2 on it.
So took me forever to figure out it won't boot to SD without the power cable plugged in, even if battery is full. Whatever.
1. So created boot SD with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Wiped and then installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip
3. Tried to install cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip but failed saying something like "System 7" (not sure about "System" but 7 I'm sure about.)
Gave up on CM11, decided to try 10.2
1. Did a restore, wiped, then installed cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
2. Now with SD card removed it boots to CWM. I thought it might be something to do with cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip so I tried cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip but it still boots to CWM with the card removed.
Previosuly I screwed the pooch with one of the HD+and I had a stock ROM, but can't seem to find one for the HD.
Anyway, I hope someone had the answer please, son was using it a little stock and it's just plain broken now, so I feel like a jerk. HELP!:crying:

If possible, try starting from the beginning. Installing CM11 for many users has been problematic; so I'd recommend CM10.x for now.
Insert your SD card into your computer's card reader, and format it using SDFormatter. Now using your preferred tool, burn the .img file to your SD card (NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img).
Once burned, download a stable version of CM10.2.1 (or 10.1.3 if you prefer) from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hummingbird&type=stable and download gapps from: http://goo.im/gapps for the version of CM you download. Also download "CWM Recovery zip" (cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip) for Nook HD at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319000 (on the 5th paragraph). Once you have downloaded all three files, place them on your SD card.
Now eject your SD card from the computer. Turn your Nook off. Place the SD card in, and turn your Nook on (if your Nook does not boot from the SD card, do whatever method works for you to get it to boot). Once booted into CWM Recovery via SD card, install "cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip", now reboot your device. Make sure you're in this version of the recovery. Now clear your cache partition, and install both CM and Gapps.
After flashing/install, try rebooting. Hopefully you should be able to boot into CyanogenMod. If not, reply back please and I have another definite trick up my sleeve.
All the best.

The reason the CM11 did not install without an error message is it needs a newer version of CWM to flash it.
And you may need to go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash the plain stock zip from item 6. That aborted CM11 install probably messed up your internal memory. Then you can start clean with CM10.2.

Thank you, I'll try it now, Formatted with SDFormatter and Burning NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img now (takes a while for whatever reason, class 4 card)
I'll then install...
1. Install cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip - Reboot
2. Clear Cache, Wipe then
3. install cm-10.2-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc.zip And gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip.
Thank you, stay tuned for results!

Yeah you saved my HD+ with the stock image last time, but I can't seem to find the link or I don't recognize it. I must be blind, I'll go look closer...
Thank you
Edit, found it! thank you, helped that you told me "Item 6"

Ok, got it working and I got it working with CW11.
HiddenG, I tried your steps as best I could and no love from the Nook. After getting NookHD-stock-2.1.1-rooted.zip and installing it from the CWM that was burned on to the SD, the unit appeared to be back to stock. So I'll document the rest for others trying to install CW11 on the NookHD.
1. Burned a SD card with NookHD-bootable-CWM-6027-for-emmc-stock-4GB-rev3-(02.03.13).img
2. Copied cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip, cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed to SD.
3. Booted from SD and cleared cache/wiped. Installed cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5.zip. (Cleared cache/wiped again because I'm never sure on the order of such things)
4. Removed SD card and booted from the internal CWM (the one installed from cwm-recovery-hummingbird-5) by holding down nook sign and powering on.
5. Installed cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-hummingbird-emmc and gapps-kk-20140105-signed. Cleared cache/wiped again because figured it was good to do ensure it was done.??
6. Remove SD card and Rebooted via the CWM menu.
7. Enjoying CW11
Thank you both for leapinlar & HiddenG for your help. You've saved the day and made my son a happy little guy again! :victory:

Haha, glad you got your son's Nook working again. Restoring to stock firmware/ROM was actually my last "definite trick up my sleeve." Anyhow, I'm happy for you!
Enjoy.
