Guys,
I've looked long and hard on t'interwebs for an answer to this. I'm currently trying to do do a fresh reinstall on my Prime. My Prime hasn't been unlocked, it was rooted before I did the Jellybean update though and I removed a few Asus apps with Titanium backup. I'm trying to get it to run super smooth so that's why I want the complete fresh reinstall.
I've downloaded the latest V10.4.2.15 WW firmware off the Asus website, and upzipped the file so I'm left with the 2nd zip file which is contains. Put this on a FAT32 formatted SD card. I've also tried to copy this onto the root of the internal memory of the Prime. I just can't get the device to see the firmware and reinstall though. Is this because the device is already running V10.4.2.15? Is their any way around this without unlocking the Prime? I've also tried to reinstall using the boot menu, but it won't give me the option either.
Please help!
I also tried to reinstall the update by putting it on a sdcard and had no luck. I concluded that this method must only work for a true upgrade.

Outside of trying in flash/recovery mode try this:
Rename the Zip file you put on the SDCard for JB to the same name as the last 9.4 OS: US_epad-user-9.4.2.28.zip
With that on the SDCard it may take a removal/reinsert of the SDCard but it should offer to "Downgrade" but once you reboot in to recovery it will be a full flash of new OS. It did NOT wipe my data. I would recommend doing that after. Shutting down and then booting with vol down and power on until the recovery menu comes on then using vol down I believe it is to move the selected option over to "WIPE" then vol up to initiate.
This should yield a "Clean install".
For those nay-sayers out there, I had partial root until I did the above and lost it so I know it overwrites the OS paritition.
Cheers. I'll give that a go when I get home. I'm not too fussed about losing root. I'm even thinking about trading my Prime in for a Nexus 10 depending on the performance of my Prime after the rebuild.
Hmm.. renamed the .zip to WW_epad-user-9.4.2.28.zip but when I when the Prime sees it, I get no notification Tried a reboot but still get nothing. Anyone with any other ideas for this? Can anyone else confirm this works for them?

Hrm, I just did it again with the US version because my exchange syncing broke.
My file was called US_epad-user-9.4.2.28.zip
Again, this assumes you have unzipped the official ASUS ROM download from their site and unzipped that file. This will yield a new zip file which is what I renambed and put on the ROOT of my SD card formated as FAT.
I just wrapped it up too, did a full app backup with the asus tool, wiped, reflashed this ROM again and restored and resynced exchange.
You might try giving it the US name. I don't think it would matter because the contents are correct for your device.
I'll try and format the card as FAT instead of FAT32. I'll also try US. Really hope this works!

No dice I'm afraid. Tried a different SD card and renaming it US but get no option to update

This is for the Nook Tablet 16Gig version only. Do not use with 8Gig version
Introduction
Making a magic SDCard which will take you back to stock 1.4.0 is easy!
This method will allow you to restore 1.4.0 firmware onto your Nook Tablet. Personally, I think holding the buttons and halting the device boot 8 times in a row is a bit time consuming. So, here is how you make a "Magic SDCard".
Instructions
Just follow these 4 easy steps to restore your device to 1.4.0.
Download this file: http://devftp.xda-developers.com/files/AdamOutler/NookTablet/acclaim_update.zip (Do not change the file name. Make sure it is named "acclaim_update.zip" without quotes).
Copy the file on a Micro SDCard.
Insert the Micro SDCard into your Nook Tablet
Turn on your Nook and observe a factory restoration.
Conclusion
This will initiate Recovery Mode and flash the entire zip. acclaim_update.zip will restore your device to stock firmware and wipe all user data. I will be working on other methods and I believe it is possible to force the device to boot it's entire firmware from Micro SDCard.
Troubleshooting
"N" Button is inoperative
solution:
Press and hold the Power and "N" Button until the device reboots.
Continue to hold the Power and "N" button until the device reboots 8 times. This will wipe data and restore the "N" button functionality
SDCard method does not work
solutions:
Ensure you have a Nook Tablet, not a Nook Color (funny as it sounds, this is a big problem)
redownload the acclaim_update.zip
Use the Nook settings menu to format the sdcard
Use a different SDCard
Video walkthrough
This video will walk you through switching firmware versions, rooting, backing up, and several other techniques
At the risk of sounding clueless..... How will placing a .zip file on a non-bootable card help? What about the signed bootloader issue? Are we assuming the Nook Tablet is not broken to the point it will not boot on it's own?
Part of the boot process checks the SD Card for this exact file (and checks the contents I assume). If it exists, it gets executed. Someone else has already confirmed this works, though we can't yet get it to work for any other firmware (ICS, etc).
Nice. Use the old 1.4.0 factory image to restore. Brilliant.
Now if only we can do that with custom roms.
Initial registration process with B&N
Does this .zip boots up just as if the NT came out of the box? if so, would the initial registration process with B&N push the 1.4.1 to us, or rather the NT pulls it from B&N?
It will (I believe) reset it to an out-of-the-box condition. The registration process might pull the update automatically...if you set up wifi. Don't set it up (right away), and you won't have an issue. Go in, root, side-load what you need to block the update, and you should be good to go.
according to BN's website, the update takes 5-10 min to download onto your device, and they instruct you NOT to power it off while this is occurring.
I would think you have a few minutes when it comes up to quickly find and install a few apps you may need for the 'fixing' process, (es file explorer, mount /system), then shut off the wifi.
Worst case scenario, you lose 5 minutes and are forced to restore again...
Just to be clear, this doesn't require root right?

No. Root is not required.
A few painfully obvious noob questions. I have a 16gb sd card installed in my tablet. I have sideloaded numerous apps and they show up on my go launcher. Can I use that sd card to install the download you recommend? I assume you mean download the link you provided to my computer and then side load it to my SD card from the usb port on my computer.
Do I need to port all my side loaded apps from the go launcher onto my computer prior to this installation as the factory reset will wipe out all my third party sideloads?
Sorry for the questions. I'm sure this is obvious to most if not all on here but I learned to use a keyboard with a Underwood manual typewriter in 1957 and I'm just now getting comfortable with windows XP.

Can this be done over the new B&N update? I don't have a Nook Tablet yet and was wondering before I buy it if I can still root it.

Yes, this is (currently) it's primary purpose.
What if you haven't received OTA yet?
I am really nervous. I bought my wife a NT for Xmas...i rooted it and loaded it with everything she'd like to have on it. Then, i turned it off, wrapped it, and placed under tree.
When she opens it Xmas morning, will it automatically load this 1.4.Bull****? Is there anything that can be done to prevent the update before it happens so that you don't lose hours of work?
Thanks,
Tommy

Okay, so i went in Titanium backup and froze the devicemanger and bn cloud service. That will enable me to NOT receive this update, correct?
If you installed the gapps with indirects root script you shouldnt have to worry about the update as it installs FOTAKill.apk as well which should kill ota updates like this.
Edit: Does this mean the tablet is unbrickable if you end up bricking it by messing with its software?
Thanks so much for this file and the information.

Not yet.. we need to prove it.. however, it will take all the root folder files in the update.zip uncompressed and named in a special way to do that.
I just checked and my wife NT is still 1.0.
What is the improvement of 1.4.0? Seems like i missed it.
And can i use this package to upgrade from 1.0?
Much thanks

people have been asking so i did it, made a video on how this can be used to restore back from CM7
This saved the day, after I restored my nandoid of rooted stock I lost all access to the barnes noble shop and could not access anything related to barnes and noble. I read of other people restoring there's back to stock and re rooting after experiencing the same issues as I to fix that issue. I knew there was an easier way and restoring this nand was it, seeing your back up was never registered in the first place. Your the man and I will be donating!

Put file:CWMrestore_1_4_0_ plus NTV16gbV4_6 in sd card, booted into cwm. In video you have two cards. Not sure which card this one is and what to put on other card. Assume that this file is an update or something and now doesn't require two?
Trying to do factory restore and don't know how to do above. Chose zip from sd card, chose cwmrestore zip file and then it finds and starts to install then it is aborted. I have no idea if I'm even supposed to be doing this but there it is.
I have tried so many things from simple (the simple failed reboots method to very complex methods that I tried to follow very closely) and read so many threads and watched so many you tube videos that I can't even tell you how many things I've tried. Nothing works at least the way I'm doing it. I need to get this back to stock and start over because it is really f'd up. I think it was due to a bad sd card I used from the beginning.
Thanks for any help.

Not quite sure how. The recovery folder consisting of the etc folder and one file, recovery-from-boot.p, goes to the root and the rest of the zip goes to the recovery folder and renamed to factory.zip?
When I do that, it still brings up Cynaboot and I'm presented with the menu. Choosing zip from card and trying to update by choosing factory.zip still goes to the previous Installation aborted error.

Wait, I'm mixing up restore methods, as I've tried a number of ways to restore to stock.
I'm in the process of trying to restore by copying to the root of the sd as you recommended.
Not sure what to do next
I decided to use the CM7 from the sd. I worked through this restore, however, I got the following message after it processed through restring .android_secure:
Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!
I tried it again and keep getting the message:
Checking MD5 sums...

Not sure what to do next...any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It worked beautifully. I had to Backup using CWM first to check on the folder structure, and saw that it was all neatly placed as-is in the zip folder. Restored and am now back on stock (and using CM7 on SD card).

I am EXTREMELY sad to report that the new "backup" image will not boot on my NT8.
I went through all the steps and CWM flashed the backup without any errors. It then returned to the main menu and I hit "Reboot System."
It just turns off (or goes into a sleep mode.) Nothing but a black screen. The Nook Power cable displays the yellow-red that seems to suggest that it is in a SOD.
I have tried every iteration of powering off for 30 secs and then trying, with/without the SDCard, with/without the Nook Power adapter, and nothing will turn it on.
However, as soon as I put either @meghd00t's NEW recovery SD or my CM7Alpha SD, they boot up without problems.
I CAN do ADB if there is a command that I need to issue to clear some register on the device? Anyone know what I should do?

Unzip the file and use clockworkmod to do a restore..
Thats what I have already tried... But im gonna try again, maybe I messed something up...
after flashing recovery, try clearing cache and devlik while in CWM, then reboot.
I have been scouring these boards for hours and can't find my exact problem so I think I need to post this as a noob. I did Albert Wertz's method of rooting my Nook Tablet 16GB which he states will void the warranty. Afterwards I showed version 9.9.9 so I think it was rooted however I never saw superuser and such. I did something where the main menu bar no longer appears when pressing the n button too, annoying, I want it back too.
Anyway I booted into CWM from SD and then removed my boot SD and installed another SD with the img files on it. I have about 4 img files on it from throughout the day trying to update to CM7 and then tried a restore and just a CWM flash, every img file I select starts to perform it's update and somewhere around "extracting files" it says "installation aborted". At first I thought I had a bad memory card but both cards behave the same so I think they are good (creating 70MB partition on the CWM). I did a system restore on it and now it reports version 1.4.0 but I still get all the same errors, I'm stuck. I've spent about 9 hours of messing with this today and can’t think straight. I am going to bed and will try tomorrow, but if anyone could please tell me what I am missing I would very much appreciate it. Happy Easter ! Thanks, Mark O

In CWM, you need to install from .zip files. It sound like you're trying to install .img.
Thanks... I was installing .zip files, not .img. I was pretty useless last night. I used Alberts 4_5SD recovery this morn and got it rooted to 9.9.9 and I had superuser and titanium backup so all was good. I ran NWM from internal on the tablet and told it to install ROM from the SD card. I pointed to the file and told it to backup, then install the new ROM it said an error had occured when I tried this. I then booted from another SD card to go to CWM and after the white screen with the box, it went into backup and then restored the ROM, however it took me back to a unrooted version. It looked for the ROM I wanted to load but that was on the other SD card. Now I am back at square one, frustrated...
I think I might have found the problem but I am not sure. When I was doing the original CM7 update I wrote CWM to the E drive, (MyNook) so now the drive reports a total size of .99GB with 433MB free. So CWM is installed on this drive and I think that is the proplem. Is there a way to get CWM off the E drive? If I can just uninstall it, will that be sufficient enough to get the root back and then correctly install CM7? Thanks again in advance.
I guess this is turning out to be an ongoing update from me, lol... I am back to a rooted Nook Tablet with 9.9.9 So since I am a glutton for punishment I will try again tonight to do the CM7. I simply deleted the CWM file that I found in the internal memory and it seemed to not hurt anything.
This time I am planning to download Indirect’s latest "NOOK Tab Recovery Flasher.apk" directly to my Nook Tablet, (at the inlaws now and no wifi
If I understand correctly it will install CWM direct on my tablet, I am just wondering where it will end up installed? Then I downloaded the file for internal CM7 installation, the file is named "Nook-Tablet-CM7-Alpha-Final-TEAM-B-signed" I have it and nothing else on the sd card. So when I run CWM from the Nook, I point to the .zip file on the SD card. Sounds easy but after three screw ups, I am aprehensive.
If someone could please confirm that this procedure and the files I am using are compatible and should work with my 16GB Nook Tablet. Again thanks very much and I hope all have been enjoying this Easter holiday........

The steps that you have listed in this post are correct. If you do this exactly, everything should go according to plan.
Indirect's great app installs CWM to the recovery partition of your device, overwriting the B&N stock recovery. You can always go back to stock recovery if need be, though, so don't worry.
Thanks Solar.Plexus
The procedure worked as I hoped. I don't understand what went so wrong in my first attempt but the main thing is my wife doesn't look at me with THAT look anymore, since she thought I bricked her 12 hour old NT.....

So here is my issue. Last week I formated my ROM, so for a while it was stuck in internal flashed CWM 5.5.0.4 Than I flashed some restore file which fixed that issue.
However I was dumb enough to exit the internal CWM before flashing any Andoird OS zip meaning it has no Os inside. Since restart it gave me B&N factory reset option. I did. Than it gets stuck just past account log in info. No surprise because there is nothing on the EMMC.
Now I was able to boot CWM from SD, but when I try to install any zip file it says Aborted. Also there is never enough room left on my SD after I image the CWM image file.
So here is my question one. How can I actually have enough space to copy the Stock OS zip and flash it.
Most importantly I did have internal CWM 5.5.0.4 inside. Now when I hit B&N reset I am assuming it got wiped. Is there a way to access that internal CWM if not.

You can resize the partition of the SD card (after you flash CWM on it) using a partition manager, that will give you full access to all of it, or format the SD card and put these files onto an SD card.
So I able to boot on sd card, but when I try to flash anything this is the message I get. So once again I am stuck at best on CWM because it's not letting me install anything.
That (status 0) error sometimes is solved by mounting /system manually.

Those two zip files will also do nothing. The former is the zip file to root, which will do nothing if you really have no stock os installed. The latter I'm not sure about but again I don't think its something that can be flashed without an OS already installed. Try flashing cm7 or another rom.

edit: now that I've looked at my files on my computer, the latter is not a flashable zip file for clockworkmod. Its the cwm image for burning to sd card.
You gotta do some reading man if you're going to be flashing stuff; don't just try to flash any zip file you see.
Did you try bypassing the registration screen?

Yes that's what I thought. Problem is after I write the Boot.rmg for SD CWM 5.5.0.4 there isn't enough space left to put the Os.zip on the SD. Tried a CWM SD I used to flash my Nook Color which does leave me enough room, but with that Nook Tablet just boots up normalls

Theres no harm here but going down that path is a very very bad idea. The devices are different.
So I finally managed to find the right SD CWM Boot that allows me to boot in CWM and leaves me enough room to put ROM zip and what not in the card after imaging.
So I tried flashing Nook Tablet stock os and here is the message I get.
E:Eoor in/sdcard/nookcolor_1_4_1_signed.zip
(Status 0)
Installation Abroted.
As a last resort I flashed CM9 which does finish the installation, but than when I restart it shows the black B&N screen saying device must reset and I am back to square one.
So now I am good with botting inside CWM. Just need help with successfully flashing the Nook Stock zip.
By the way me personally can't stand Nook Stock OS. I use a CM7 Mirage on my Nook Color. This is for a friend who I convinced to use Cyanogenmod on his Nook Tablet. He doesn't like CM, so I am trying to get him back to his stock os.

This is for a nook tablet yes? Why are you using a nook color zip file?
Tried Nook Tablet zip too with no success. The color one was just for trial.
Maybe I need just a plain all stock.zip customized for installation via CWM. Here is the message I get when I tried to flash the nook tablet update zip
Found links for Stock Nook Tablet zip, but none were downloadable.
E:Can't open /sdcard/nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip

First of all is you friend's nook tablet 8GB or 16GB model?
Second you haven't read my FAQ, so you haven't read enough and you're confused in the way a custom rom and B&N stock update.zips are flashed.
A custom rom you can install from cwm > install .zip from sdcard or if it's a backup folder a.k.a recovery rom (as Albert call it) you can restore it from backup & restore option in cwm; but if it's a B&N stock update.zip you flash it "as is" in a different way, you have to format a sdcard with fat32 file system and set primary partition to "active" then you can flash the .zip from the sdcard. There is no need of cwm BUT there is need of stock original recovery as their update.zip requires their stock recovery to work.
Read my thread how-to restore internal partitions with 'dd' command for more information about flash stock/custom recovery and flash B&N stock update.zip for an out-of-the-box nook which means start from scratch: rooting, bla bla bla.
If you dont want to start from scratch then grab a custom stock rom from development section and flash it in cwm. Albert, cobrato and i have posted them.
Third this is not Q&A, wrong section to post. There is a sticky about it.

Well that's the problem. I flashed Nook CM7 and CM9. Than when I start it loads B&N factory reset instead. Than I flashed B&N Stock in CWM. Still when I start it shows a screen saying Nook must be reset. Than right after account log in it shows the contact customer support screen.
It's a Nook Tablet 16GB versioj

okay it sounds like you have "tried" to get your NT back into happy mode... but its still a sick puppy. sometimes you have to do the fix two times in a row. . and did you do a 'wipe / reset, wipe / reset" before and after ? . . .umm, take it back to the store and tell them you gotta turkey ?

Hmmm ok , then something got corrupted , I think I have read about other user having this same problem but I don't recall for a resolution. You will have to try restoring the partitions referred to the boot process first as I'm not sure if it's the factory partition that got corrupted.
I'll post useful links for you to read to know how to proceed later

Try the un-brick method that @soshite posted in development section. Its in page #2.

I know this has been posted before but I am still having trouble. I have a nook tablet rooted and with android using cyanogenmod. I would look to remove it all and go back to the nook factory settings. I have tried the 8 reboot method and it doesnt work. It just boots me to cwm based recovery. doing a factory reset there just resets me back to android again. ia slo tried installing the acclaim update and it wouldnt work either. maybe i need a new micro sd card. please help!
Try the windows instructions from here:

You'll need a spare SD card and the free disk imager that you get from a link in A dam's post. After booting, it sometimes was a couple tries for me to get it to fully "take", but it did reset my Nook back to 100% unrooted factory on very 1.4.0. Be aware this is a FULL wipe & reset, so you lose everything. Good luck.

The "8 failed reboots" method only works if your NT still has stock recovery (typically the case when the NT running rooted stock ROM or just plain stock ROM). Your NT instead has CWM recovery (which most likely was installed when CM was flashed), hence the "8 failed reboots" method will not work.
I'd suggest you consider using the repart.img tool http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/, or the tools in Succulent's repo https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard.
Most importantly, be wary of using any method/tool that reformat partitions other than /system, /data, and /cache (especially /factory and /romdata) without first backing the content of the partion to be reformatted -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31.
I am having a little trouble with this. I need to download the factory recovery zip file. All the links take me to a place where I need to put in my credit card number. it says it wont charge me, but I don't have a credit card to put in. One other place said I need to download a different file in order to download this file, not sure if that sounds right and it makes me nervous. Where can I get this zip file safely??

On the referenced page http://d-h.st/5vJ for bn_142_factory_recovery.zip, click on the second/middle "download" box and you should get a "save as" pop up menu for the file in question.
