As the title of the thread says, my Nook HD+ only boots into CWM. I've done a wipe data/factory restore and installed Cyanogenmod. But when I reboot into system, the Nook HD+ just goes back to CWM.
Can anyone help me out here?
At this point, I just want to have a functioning tablet - even if that means restoring it to stock Nook HD+ firmware.
Is there ANY way to fix the problem I'm having?
Problem Solved!

So I decided to purchase an image from N2A and burn it to an SD card. I did, and when I rebooted my Nook HD+ it booted Cyanogenmod. I don't know what happened, but it seems that the N2A card I burned had something to do with it. (Noob)

After 8 "Install Failed" it must itself replace all soft. But this have some limitations later.
Actually you can help itself with 9 chapter at this thread. I hope this helps you.

It depends on what you formatted. If you formatted "factory" and "rom" with the older CM10 CWM, you have truly bricked it and it is not recoverable.

No. Those partitions had vital device specific information (MAC Address, serial number, and others, most importantly some crypto keys) that cannot be retrieved. There is nothing wrong with the partitions, just the information is lost.
Edit: Actually, with a little repair, you can get it so that it will boot to an SD installation of CM, but never again to a stock rom on internal memory.

I have very stupidly gone into 'mounts and storage' in CWM and format bootdata, system, cache, data, emmc and sdcard (I had some problems with verygreen native install and thought I would clear the system and do a fresh install!).
Now when I try to boot my Nook I get the 'Install Failed' message. Rebooting makes no difference - I keep getting the same message. I've tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and then reinstall stock 2.1. I found this on a leapinlar thread and it looks like it installs but then shows a message in CWM 'random offset 0x37d'
After reboot it looks like its installing (nook hd with a little blue bar filling up from left to right) but then it goes back to 'Install Failed' screen.
Help? is it bricked?
Thanks in advance!
Take out the SD card and attempt to start it 8x in a row, hopefully the stock recovery will kick in.

Just tried rebooting 8x times in a row.... No luck
Did you make and keep a stock backup before you installed CM? When I needed to return to stock, restoring a backup worked for me.

I did download the stock rom from the thread and install it from CWM but get the message 'random offset 0x336' (the last part '0x336' varies each time you try to install stock rom) in CWM. After rebooting I still see 'install failed'....

Don't worry about that random offset message, it is normal.
Your issue is you formatted /bootdata. That is the partition that controls whether to boot to stock recovery or to boot normally. It is also what tells stock recovery whether to try to install the factory ROM. That is what it is trying to do with that install failed message.
You said you tried the 8 failed boot. Did you interrupt the boot 8 times by hard turning off as soon as the nook logo shows? If not, do that.

Thanks for the advice Leapinlar, I've tried it three times now and still no luck - keeps getting stuck at the 'install failed' window.I took out the SD card pressed the power button, let go and then pressed and held it when the Nook logo came on and repeated 8 times and finally tried to reboot as normal on the 9th time.
Leapinlar, I've also installed the 'NookHDplus-emmc-stock-recovery-rev0-(05.16.13).zip' but this hasn't helped..any ideas?

You do have the stock recovery installed. That is what is saying install failed to you. The issue is that your bootdata partition does not have the right info in it. So it keeps trying to boot to recovery.
Send me a private message with your serial number in it and I will make you a custom zip to try.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
I see my zip worked for you, at least with CM10.1. There are a lot of secret keys that somehow got erased with your formatting, so stock will probably never work for you again. But fortunately CM10.1 is good.

thank you again. Happy to be on CM10.1 - I don't use stock but wanted to have it for when I came to sell it. Oh well...
Could you make one of those zips for me? Or a zip where I can add my own SN? I'm in the same /bootdata boat. I'll PM you.

Sent a follow-up PM earlier but I haven't heard back, so I wanted to see if there was any other info you needed (or I can post SN here.. what can anyone do with it really..). Going from the OP, this is exactly the same problem I'm in (format bootdata and now in a 'Install Failed' (blue bar, same as OP) stock recovery loop) which seems to have worked. No interest in stock, just CM.
Thanks!
Leap, just wanted to say thank you so much! Completely saved my Nook. Your bootdata flash was a huge help. Back up and running on CM 10.1 (avoiding 10.2 until the kindle thing is fixed).
Thanks again, huge huge help!
(DON'T FORMAT /bootdata !! Important stuff!)
Could you help me too? I made the same mistake (formatted bootdata)
Brand new Nook HD+ rooted with CWM 6028 (05-13-13). Was reading magazine via Zinio app and screen just went totally black (had used zinio multiple times before w/ no problems). Battery was about 60%. Charging lights show it is charging but every single reboot effort has been tried that has been recommended in this forum and still no success. Still black screen. What can I do?

You need to give a little more info.
By rooted with my CWM, do you mean you flashed my universal root zip so that stock is rooted, or do you mean you used my CWM to flash CM10 to replace stock?
Can you still boot with the CWM SD inserted?

That's exactly right, I used my CWM to flash CM10 to replace stock. Called B&N today and they told me to just return it to Best Buy and they will replace it with a new one. Fortunately I didn't have very much data on the device so no big loss there, just the time to go and get it replaced. Thanks for your help anyway. Cheers!!
Nook HD Plus has been running great. Cyanogen running fully on internal memory with no issues. I was using TWRP and wanted to go back to CWM. So I flashed it and all seemed fine. Then I rebooted, and now it is stuck on the First Nook Splash Screen. I have tried to reinstall everything using a bootable SD card but still will not get past the Nook Screen. I can use the SD Card to boot into CWM and it takes all the installs just fine, but still stuck on the Nook Screen. Any ideas??? I have tried to install everything from stock to Carbon with the same results.

Have you found a solution yet? I am facing the same problem since trying out cyanogenmod 11 (SD-Version) alongside CM 10.2. Always stuck on NOOK Screen TWRP and CWM bootable from SD, no installs possible.

I have not. I did find out that the main issue is the internal drive was somehow formatted and that is why it will not boot properly. Not sure how it happened, but I think the main bump here will be to try and reformat the drive so it can load the bootloaders properly......it works with the SD card because the bootloader files are on the SD.....driving me nuts.

Try and install stock plain rom and let your device charge (must be turned on!) for 5 hours.
Worked for me:good:

Beware that two of the HD+ partitions (see section #16 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34168454#post34168454 for a complete list of partitions) namely /rom and /factory contain your device's unique factory-installed data such as WiFi MAC address, encryption keys, etc. You'd lose all this data, without which your HD+ cannot run, upon reformatting the entire drive -- unless you know how to backup and restore them.
Actually before doing any of those, you will always need to select the wipe data option when you boot to the CWM Recovery. Since you went from TWRP to CWM, you'll need to wipe it, and then flash it. Try that and see if it works.
Hey everyone, I have a nook hd+ rooted with cm 11 nightly and was experiencing lag and crashes often. I tried to install twrp latest version through the play store as I had the cwm recovery originally. After the install process, as I was trying to tap boot into recovery, it rebooted regularly instead, and now my tablet is bricked. It keeps flashing the "nook" logo and turns off and on again in loops. Is there any possible solution to salvage this tablet by doing something with a sd card? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Make a bootable SD as described in the dummies guide and try reinstalling the recovery and OS from scratch. You must have done this to modify the Nook in the first place.

There is also some help about corrupt partition data in the CM12.1 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/unofficial-cm12-1-nook-hd-hd-2015-04-08-t3078260
I suppose it is possible the eMMC could fail but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion yet.
Thanks for the tip. I tried making a bootable sd card from the dummies guide but it still didn't go into cyanoboot screen and the "nook" splash start up screen goes on and off. I'm on a mac so the partition step of setting it to active is my one hiccup, not sure if this step is important. I may try it on a pc next to see if I get a breakthrough.
Finally got my tablet functional again. Loaded latest cm 11 nightly but seems less responsive and not as smooth. Are there any fixes or patches for this issue? Thank you
