[Q] Downgrade CWM and restore to stock? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok guys need a little help. I installed CM13 on my HD+ using the instructions in the HD+ Android Development section. I want to take the HD+ back to stock. I was following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613 and read that you need to flash the NookHDplus-factory-2.2.1-plain-stock.zip using CWM version 6036 or earlier.
So my question is I guess do I need to make a CWM SD card with CWM 6036, boot that, then swap out that card for one with the NookHDplus-factory-2.2.1-plain-stock.zip, and flash that, or do I need to downgrade the emmc version somehow to CWM 6036, then boot the NookHDplus-factory-2.2.1-plain-stock.zip, and flash that if that makes any sense?
Thanks!

You do not need to downgrade the internal emmc recovery to CWM 6036. Just use a new CWM 6036 SD to flash the stock zip. The internal recovery will be downgraded to stock recovery as part of flashing the stock zip.

[Q] CWM recovery reverts back to stock recovery

Installed "NookHDplus-CWM-6028-for-internal-memory-rev0-(05.24.13).zip" and I am able to to hold power and n buttons to get into CWM recovery, but if I let the nook HD+ boot up into stock rom, recovery reverts back to stock recovery. I have repeated this several times, flashed CWM recovery to emmc and after boot up it reverts back to stock recovery.
I guess my question is, it appears that the nook HD+ stock checks boot and restores stock recovery on bootup. Is this the case? And how can this be prevented? I have no problem booting CWM recovery from SD, but would rather have CWM recovery permanent in emmc.
I don't know why that is happening to you but I can tell you my HD+ does not do that. I have CWM installed and it does not reflash.

Stock does have a mechanism built in where it can rebuild stock recovery if it thinks it is necessary. That is how it installs the new stock recovery after an update to the stock ROM.
I'm not sure I have tried my internal CWM when running stock on emmc. Why do you want CWM on internal if you are running stock? There is generally nothing to flash after the initial set of mods are done. And stock needs the stock recovery to be able to update itself if need be.

I installed CWM on stock as I wanted an easy way to make backups. I figured I could always reinstall stock recovery if need be.

That is not a bad idea, but I'm not sure stock will let you do that.
Have you added any of my zips to stock before you put CWM on internal memory? If you flash either extras or root to stock, it should remove the ability of stock to rebuild stock recovery. The file is in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. I reuse that file for my purposes by symlinking a new version.

That;s exactly the same reason I am trying to put CWM recovery on stock. Just a convienience for backup/restore, but keeps reverting back to stock recovery after I bootup into stock nook. The only think I can add, is that this is a brand new HD+ with the latest software update.

I can verify that I have not flashed extras or root, and that makes perfect sense, that was my next step to see if if would stop it from rebuilding stock recovery. Thanks for the help, I appreciate the info.
I did flash both your extras and root. I have made backups I guess now I need to test them to see if they work. I am currently running rooted stock and boot able CM on an SD card. Both work really well.

What are the major differences between your build and verygreens if you don't mind me asking. I expect you have tailored the build for a specific need/s?

Besides mine being just slightly older than verygreen's, mine has been modified to protect any hybrid files that may be on internal memory. Verygreen's does not. That way if you choose to run hybrid on SD, it will not be effected by any CWM actions you take on emmc. That is more important to users that run stock on emmc and hybrid CM10.1 on SD.

[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.

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)?

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

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?

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.

Have broken my Ovation with an OTA CM11 update

I mistakenly tried the OTA update from 10.2 to 11 (EMMC) with TWRP 2.5 I think. It failed and would not boot. I then tried doing a factory reset and reinstalling a 10.2 ROM I found on the internal SD card and it completed (no red FAILED) but would not go beyond the offset circular boot screen. I now tried flashing the cwm-recovery-ovation-6.zip which was successful but when I try to load any new ROM from an SD card I get E: Can't mount /external_sd.
I presume I'm missing something. I don't think I formatted the bootdata folder I see mentioned a lot.

Do you still have the original backup or one from just after you install CM10.2? It might be worth just restoring that using the SD CWM you backedup with.
If the above doesn't work restore to stock grab both stock recovery and ROM from lepinar and get back to a known working state and try again.
what do you mean?
Is there a reason why the CWM is not good? Isn't this a ROM issue, like trying to flash CM 11 with an outdated recovery? and if so, don't I just need to understand how to install a clean 10.2 again?

The CWM for CM11 (6045 or 6046) is not compatible with older versions of zips and older CWMs are not compatible with CM11.
If you have an older version of CWM you can use it to flash CM10.2, but you will need to do a factory reset with the CWM before rebooting after flashing to clear out the mess the bad CM11 install created.
Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app
can you point me to the sets of files that work together?
So I see I have CWM 6.0.4.6 on the device. I can do a factory reset and then install CM11 directly or I have to go back to an old CWM and 10.2 first?
How about the issue where 6.0.4.6 does not read the SD card? I tried 2 and 16 gig cards, both EXFat and FAT32. Is that get resolved by the factory reset, or am I formatting the card wrong, or what? Unless there's a general impression that CM11 is not ready, I'd rather go to 11 unless it's necessary to go back first. Do I need to use the internal SD card and if so, how to I mount it to the PC when it's broken like this? Is there a button combination that makes it accessible through Odin or similar?
In the mess I got myself in, I'm to understand that the OTA is always fatal because the recovery does not accompany the flash, and the two are mutualy exclusive? In other words, I need to download the new recovery, the ROM and GAPPS and do all three at the same time to go from 10.2 to 11? But after that, OTAs are OK?

The sdcard issue is just with that version of CWM. Once you get CM11 installed the SD works. I don't know the answer on how to get the rom zip on internal. There is a thread for how to install kitkat (CM11). Maybe that tells you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796
And whether to go to CM11 is your choice. I have not tried it because I don't think it is ready, but lots of folks like it.
Once you have 6046 on internal memory it is ok to use the OTA for CM11 updates. And you can update now directly without going back to CM10.2.

Is there a TWRP which works on both CM 10.2 and 11?
The port you refer to seems to require that the nook be operational to move the files from the external to Internal card so there are many extra steps to go from a dead machine to CM11. Unless there is a working TWRP. I know lots of people think TWRP is bad news: is it a possible solution for me or more problems?
I gather that you'd go back to 10.2 if this was yours? Is it the simpler solution? I'm not set on the bleeding edge.

There is a working TWRP somewhere but I don't know where.
And like the other user said, the best solution is to go back to stock and start over. Once on stock you can put all the files on internal and install anything you want. If it were mine I would go back to CM10.1.3 stable, which is what I use now.
To go back to stock go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM per item 1a, flash the plain stock zip from item 6 and do a factory reset with CWM.

[Q] PLEASE HELP- My nook hd will only boot into CWM recovery

It will only boot into CWM-based recovery v6.0.2.7-stock.
I have tried to install zip from sd card. It installs. I installed Nookhd-CWM-60460-for-internal-memory-rev0-(07-13-14).zip. Then I installed cm-10.2.1-hummingbird.zip. Lastly I installed Gaaps-jb-4.2.1-20121128-signed.zip.
I restart the Nook and it boots right back into recovery.
PLEASE HELP.

Try taking it back to stock per my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Sometimes this clears this issue.

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.
