I had a Nook setup with Dual Boot (not using an SD Image) and now I am trying to restore the device back to factory settings.
I've been trying to do a full factory restore (removing my root) to my Nook Color.
I've used this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959461 to remove the dual boot and reparition.
I've formated EVERY partition (except SDCard, which seemed like a bad idea if I booted from it).
I've created a bootable Clockwork Recovery MicroSD Image (3.0.2.8). I can boot from this fine.
I've tried 3 different factory ROMS (1.0.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc) and I can get them all to install and boot up.
However I can't get past the "B&N registration screen". I always get an error registering the device.
When I select "Shutdown" the device, from this screen, I believe I can STILL see the "soft keys" on the bottom of the screen, which makes me feel like the Android system is still "hacked".
Have I restored this correctly? Is there some reason I can't register the device with B&N?
Are you sure /data is getting formatted? Watch it carefully at that step. If you're using an older Clockworkmod, it will fail with newer Nooks due to filesystem changes. IIRC cwm3.2.01 is the latest. I had the same symptom, realized /data was not formatting and tried with a newer version and had no problems restoring to 1.3.
Use version 3.2.0.1 of CWR found here: http://www.multiupload.com/N5C1846GH3
Wipe everything and then install this stock 1.3 .zip: http://www.multiupload.com/3Y5MWE773D
I have a Galaxy S GT i9000 and I managed to install CWM Recovery 2.5.1.0 on it after I accidentally selected backup (to internal sd)..
I want to get the data off the internal SD but miui won't boot. I have EXT4 filesystem.
if I try boot it never gets past samsung logo.
I havn't been able to use my phone for a month now because of this problem.
I didn't want to try fix it straight away when it broke incase I did something to lose all my data..
I was getting major FC's on everything i opened, it wasn't bad at first, but than FC's came more and more regularly, until I can't open any apps.
than the phone would boot loop after boot animation. now after trying to backup the internal SD, I accidentally backed up to internal SD. phone won't boot.
this happened at my god father's funeral "after meeting". I was using phone and suddenly it doesn't work.
I recorded very important video from god father's funeral i promised to make video for god fathers wife.
I really need my data and at least want to be able to mount ext4 from CWM recovery to copy data to windows. or somehow reinstall MIUI without wiping /data.
I thank you in advanced for your help.
I looked for a month and couldn't find anything.
There are 2 things I can think of,
1. Use ADB to pull from sd card, I'm not sure if you need to be in recovery or download mode, check it out.
2. When you format you phone you don't delete your sd card so it should all be saved. You will loose all you apps etc but not your data.
If you want to save the exact format you phone is in, try flash the rom again. If its through odin then you will factory reset. (Again you wont loose your internal sd card contents).
I've managed to get my data back now thank you for the suggestions
I had some huge problem with my Nexus One and I wanted to start over completely, so I stupidly went to CWM recovery and hit format boot, cache, data, sdcard, system, and sd-ext. For some reason I didn't realize this would make my phone unusable and make it have no OS. So now when I turn on the phone it goes straight to the fastboot menu, so I can only access the fastboot, bootloader, and CWM recovery.
I've tried formatting my microSD card and putting a stock PASSIMG.zip file (located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312540) on my microSD card but the bootloader doesn't detect the PASSIMG.zip file.
Can anyone give any guidance on what I can do now?
Thanks
FIXED. This seems to happen to me so often-- things suddenly working after I already make a thread about my problems. But I discovered that the microSD card was corrupt so that's why it never actually had the PASSIMG.zip file on it. Everything is back to normal, and I restored factory settings :good:
(For reference, I have a MAG2GA FW v6 dated 10/2012) -- yes, I have access to CWM and ADB
Had verygreen's CM11 (1-18, eMMC install) on my HD+ and it was working without any major issues -- came back home one day and the screen was frozen. Did a power + N button reboot, and now the CM logo on boot spins incredibly slowly (completely hanging at several points). After a few minutes it will either bootloop or get into CM11 -- if it does make it into CM11, the system will be very unresponsive and eventually reboot on its own [no matter what I select].
Booted into eMMC CWM 6.0.4.6, formatted /system, /data and /cache and reinstalled CM11 1-18 + PA GAPPS. On reboot, I see the exact same behavior (slow/freezing CM logo, eventual bootloop). When it does sometimes make it back into CM, I see my widgets / wallpaper for a brief moment before it bootloops again, implying that my format/wipe in CWM did nothing...?
I then booted into bokbokan's CM10.1 I had on a MicroSD lying around -- I installed the eMMC brick check app from there (which checked out fine, including a test on the full 16gb). I'm trying to do an ADB push now of leapinlar's NookHDplus-factory-2.2.0-plain-stock.zip so I can install it and try to get it replaced under warranty but it either [tried both SD-based CWM and eMMC-based CWM] :
1 - hangs forever (implying some issue with my internal storage)
2 - says transfer complete, but when I navigate to /sdcard/0/ I don't see it
3 - the one occasion I did manage to transfer stock back over and the system could actually see it, I got a '"Failed to retouch '/system/lib/libemoji.so'" error when installing (and yes, I'm formatting /system every time)
In additional, the eMMC CWM behaves very erratically, sometimes taking over a minute to navigate through folders or respond to a volume button click. Pretty sure my internal storage is damaged somehow.
It seems like no matter what I do in CWM, my HD+ continues to try to reboot back into my old CM11 installation. Any thoughts or ideas on what I can do next?
Edit: Okay, so using a 4GB SD card image, I tried to erase /system, /data and /cache and flash cm 10.1 and twrp just to see if anything would stick. Removed the SD after flash, reboot, and the system goes right back into CM11 boot loop. Trying to reboot into TWRP brings 6.0.4.6 back up -- looks like nothing I'm doing will stick. Brought up ADB shell and ran "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8" to wipe system, still reboots back into CM11 no matter what I flash in SD CWM.

I have the same issue, but on my HTC One S. My eMMC chip: MAG2GA.
Looks like its TRIM brick.
I can't wipe or install other rom, and recovery allways say "E:/can't mount /data"
My system works well, but after reboot the system returns to its previous state and all new data (SMS, calls, files) delete.
All it happens after 27 January after installing nightly update for CM11
Leapinlar has the knowledge and info on fixing the partitions. Might be just refreshing them up might fix it. Trim bug can also cause physical damage... don't know which that could be here if its it.
I've played a few minutes with the 29th(?) nightly and had not received this problem though that build had quite a few issues for me. So Korshun could be on to something.
Just swapped it instead -- seems like physical TRIM damage, given that nothing I changed [even writing 0s to disk] would stick.
I got nook hd+ and used cm version 10.2 something for a while.
The device keeps crashing and restarting like crazy.
1 out of 10 times, it launches, but before I do anything, it crashes. Hell.
It has been crashing and restarting quite often these days, but since last night, all it does is crashing and restarting.
To make matters worse, I tried to format the device and install cm again. It did not work.
I made booting SD card and chose 'wipe data/ factory reset'. And nook said it wiped /data /cache data wipe complete etc. However, files were still there in internal storage.
On top of that, I had to try 4 times to install newest cm-11. It aborted.
Next, I tried to installnookjdplus factory2.2.0 . It had error. (status 6) to ne specific.
So, I tried newest cwm recovery. It installed, but nook still crashed.
I persevered and tried to install cm 11. It installed, but still crash and restart.
Hell. I literally spent whole day doing this. I am confused and frustrated and angry and experiencing a few other negative emotions English language dows not have in words.
Please, some advice.

CM10.x, CM11, and stock ROM need different versions of CWM recovery.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for info/pointers on flashing CM11.
To go back to stock ROM, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613(item #6).
When switching between CM10, CM11, and stock ROM, you need to do "wipe /data & factory reset".
If none of the above helps the your problem might be due to an unruly app or hardware related.

Ok. At least I got my biggest problem now.
I think my roblem is wipe data/factory reset does not do job it is supposed to do.
I still see folders and files in internal memory after factory reset. I think that is why install aborts and crashes even after successful install.
I think my problem is that wipe data/factory reset does not do its job
It gives me message it is formatting data cache and stuff. And last day they gave me data wipe complete. But the problem is, in internal memory, I can still see old folders and old files.
I think he should be gone if it is formatted. Where do I get the meaning of factory reset wrong?
Its not what is wrong with me. And how can I make factory reset work
And second question is that I tried to install B&N original operating system from cwm-based recovery. I tried a few different versions of
nookHDplus-factory-2.1.1-plain-stock.zip
However it always fail to install. Install aborted for some reason.
Thanks. It seem helpful.

Thanks a lot for your advice
Going back to stock Rom 6 explains error message and aborting of install.
However the problem is where do I get CWM V 60036 or eariler?
Googling does not work.9

You can get v6036 on that same thread digimax referenced above (my CWM thread linked in my signature). And a data wipe does not wipe your media files. To do that, go to mounts and storage and select wipe "data and datamedia".

trying it. hope it works.
did not work
for about deleting internal data, I went to 'mounts and storage'. used 'format /sdcard' and 'format/ data and/ data/media (/sdcard), but still has stuff in internal memory.
and to my surprise , I have been using CWM-6028. so far. I thought its name was 'NookHDplus-bootable'.
hell. stupid me.
Anyhow, CWM-6028 has been giving me troule
so, I would try other versions.
So far, I have done
1. made boot sd by burning image.
2. copy 'NookHDplus-factory-2.1.0-plain-stock' files and other versions.
3. Insert SD in device and boot CWM.
4. choose zip from sdcard.
5. install factory plain stock.
then I get message 'Failed to retouch 'system/lib/libemoji.so' (WTF is libemoji? and it is always this same file.)
E: error in sdard/nookHDplus-factort-2.2.1-plain-stock.zip(status7)
Installation aborted.
hell. And I tried every factory zip.
Am I doing something wrong?
Failed tp retouch '/system/lib/libemoji' is error message I get
Everytime I tried to install factory stock.
I tried every version of stock files. And I tried all CWM. And even tried TWRP, but it is always the same message what the hell is that emoji?
And what can I do with it?
What frustrates me the most is the fact that it installed 99% in a minute without trouble and stays there 410 minutes until it fails to install. It's driving me crazy
Does CM makes Factory reset by power button and home button does not work either.
Because I am getting message factory reset failed.
If CM is not the reason for it, well, something is wrong. Very wrong.
I am suspecting Internal memory corrupted lr something.
I should seriously consider throwing it away now.

It is possible you have a bricked emmc. When bricked it looks like it is writing but is really read only and nothing takes. If you still have media files after a successful format data and datamedia then it is bricked. Probably best to get rid of it. You can buy a refurbished unit very cheaply these days.

Assuming that your EMMC is shot, you can try running off SD card this no-emmc version of CM11 ROM: https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/. It's best to use a card with fast randomized block read/write (which is what Class 4 cards are typically best at).
Thanks guys. By the way, what is emmc?
Is it part of CM software?
Does not sounds like hardware.
If I had factory resetted a day earlier, I would not have had problems.
Well. That is the way it is.
I finally kind of got nook working. I am running it on SD card now.
I got to thank you guys for your good advices.
Problem is that this ecmm free booting shrinks storage space.
No matter what is size of SD card, Internal storage is 900mb and SD card got 100mb. (I mean virtual Internal storage the file made in SD card) Not enough space to hold a movie.
I am happier to have tab working, but also wish to use full space of my SD.
At least I wish I can have a few Gs of storage.

Right after burning the ROM image to SDcard, it should be possible to use a disk partitioning tool such as MiniTool Partition Wizard to examine the SDcard ROM image's partitions and resize the /data partition to fill up the un-allocated space.

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49007593&postcount=84 for some pointers on how to create a CM SD card with customized partition sizing for HD+. Although it was written for CM11, you should be able to adapt it for CM10.2 by using the appropriate ROM and GApps zip files corresponding to CM10.2.
Please confirm if my problem has any other solution
my NOOK HD+ I have CMW 10.2.1 with 6.0.4.6 recovery. Nook went to loop while booting. Now I can go to recovery and able to boot SD recovery CMW 6.0.2.8. But issue is:-
1. For any update even for Stock ROM it gives status 7 error.
2. With system recovery 6.0.4.6 when I try factory reset the TAB reboot same happen when i try to format DATA. While factory reset and DATA format happens with 6.0.2.8 position remains same.
3. When I try to make backup on internal storage both with 6.0.4.6 (TAB recovery) or 6.0.2.8 (From SD card) it makes boot,recovery and system image but give error as failed to backup /DATA.
4. I have done every thing right from various and latest ROM's ( error Status 7), Formatting boot,system but 6.0.4.6 on NOOK is intact and is in loop.
Please tell How I can over come this STATUS 7 error or DATA backup error.
thanks.

CWM v6.0.4.6 is not compatible with CM10.x, you need to flash back to the CWM version you previously used.
