First the pertinent info.
Nook Tablet 16gb
Cyanoboot installed
CWM 6.0.1.9
No errors in log when I start CWM.
I had megadh00t's Cherrypicks rom installed, the 11/07 edition
I decided to update.
It worked fine. Full wipe. EXCEPT, wifi wouldn't turn on.
I went back into CWM. Wiped everything again. But I made a mistake
I wiped the ROM partition. I know better, but I did. Tired I guess.
Now goes right into recovery every time.
Any way to fix this or do I have to total wipe?
And if I do, I repartitioned the nook as well, so would I have to first repartition it back to default, then total wipe, root, cwm, then install the ROM?
Plus, I am 5 touched, so would it even work to go to the regular nook software? Am I looking at a perma brick because of the 5touch?
Thanks for the info and any help you can give me!
If it will boot off an SD card, make a cm10 SD card. Once in cm10 flash back to stock touch firmware
Sent from my NT running CM10
You can find the easiest way to make a CM10 SD card here.
So as soon as it goes to Cyanoboot, it begins to load Recovery from emmc. I have no menu choices. Any ideas? I made a CWM recovery card first, but it never even gets there.
Sounds like you booted straight into emmc.
To boot from SDcard (assuming that it has bootable boot partition and requisite set of files MLO/u-boot.bin/flashing_boot.img/boot.img/recovery.img -- e.g., from here) first power off the NT, then insert a powered-usb cable. When Cyanoboot comes up, hold the N button for boot menu, then select SDC Recovery. If you have a ROM zip on the card you can flash it with option "install zip from sdcard".
Found out what the problem with booting was.... no boot and lba flags on the card.
Got it to boot, tried to install ROM, but cyanoboot still goes direct to emmc recovery.
Looks like I am going to have to go the long route.
I know that I have to flash back to 2 touch to even begin the process, but now I have to figure out how to change the recovery ROM from
this post into an SD bootable one and see if it works. If it does (and I can figure it out) I will then start over from the beginning
Too bad because it looks like my partition table is absolutely fine. No errors at all. Bummer.

New post because completely separate from previous.
In a bizarre turn of events, I CAN boot from the internal emmc, but only with a SD boot card that I created trying to reflash my 5 touch firmware back to the 2 touch firmware.
Here is my question.
I would obviously not like to use this workaround of having the SDcard in, booting from cyanoboot into the INT emmc.
Is there any way to replace the internal cyanoboot or reset it somehow so that it doesn't automatically boot into recovery every time? Then I wouldn't need the SD card, and to go through the long and drawn out process of getting my nook back into shape
Thanks!

Hey guys, today i was messing around with my nook tablet and i tried to restore it and i acidently deleted everything. now when ever i boot its goes straight to CWM recovery. ive tried to flash recovery and stock reboot and nothing worked. Is there anyway to restore it using usb or anything else? thanks.
I ran into similar difficulty with this earlier today. What worked for me eventually was using
the CMW Windows installer on my SD card, which nerfed it down from 32GB to 2GB,
formatted that 2GB partition,
put the "acclaim_update.zip" folder in the root,
inserted the sd card,
plugged the tablet into the charger,
power+n cycled once, then regular boot and it went it.
Your results may vary, though. It took a few tries before I finally got it to boot from SD
How exactly do i do that?
Fix for the Cyanoboot CWM bootlooping...
It could help someone, haven't seen this simple fix around so i decided to post it up here.
1. boot into CWM from sdcard, see here to download the sdcard version , instructions to burn the image to your sdcard are there too.
2. once you have finished burning the image into your sdcard you will see the size of your sdcard will be reduced to less than 50 MB, CLICK on your sdcard and you will see some files in there.
3. Download 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip from my thread and copy-paste it to your sdcard so you can flash CWM internal using CWM sdcard version. HOPE YOU DONT GET CONFUSED.
4. Safely eject your sdcard from PC, power off your nook(long press power button), put the sdcard back into your nook, power on your nook.
5. It will boot into CWM sdcard then flash 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip, reflash the ROM of your like (It should be on Internal sdcard, you can also swap to another sdcard containing the ROM while in CWM sdcard or resize CWM sdcard [50mb] with a partition tool software so you can copy a ROM to it).
6. Remove the sdcard from your Nook and select reboot system now from CWM
Done!
Your Nook tablet should now boot normally!!!
NOTE: the 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip made by @succulent has few options missing so consider to install another internal CWM later. This process will just make you fix the bootlooping process and boot your device normally.

Flash "acclaim_update.zip"
I recently made a thread on how to flash "acclaim_update.zip" in CWM so head on over to it and see if it works for you and remember do a factory reset from CWM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762024
Hi all, I built my sdcard per: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
My kids have two NT's. With two 16GB Sdcards, one class4 the other class 10. I know class4 is recommended, but one poster in forums said he's taken images of CM built on class4's and applied this image to class 10's in several cases and has had no problems. So I thought what the heck, can't hurt to try, so that's what I did (using Winimage). It booted fine 5 or 6 times for me, and I installed several APK's of games from Humble Bundle . I turned over the Nook to my little girl and she brought it back to me later showing she gets errors on boot, after swiping the lock symbol to unlock it. One is "Unfortunately, Talk has stopped". If you click OK on this, you get ""Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped". Clicking OK on this does nothing, it keeps popping up indefinitely. I don't know if the sdcard is hot pluggable (can be removed with power to the tablet), but she did admit to doing this. So I'm wondering if some corruption occurred to the CM build on the sdcard. Has anyone seen these errors? I could reflash it from the image I made off the class 4, but want to understand what happened so we don't run into it again. The funny thing is, I don't recall the startup wizard off the 1st class4 card prompting me with several screens regarding Google crap like it did on the 2nd card which was flashed from the same image. That was even after telling it I had no Google acct hoping it would leave me alone.
can anyone explain the boot menu you get when you press the N button? (I'm not including the faded selections) I'm wondering especially about the recovery options. Here's my menu:
INT BOOT ( I assume will boot to B&N native OS?)
INT RECOVERY ?
SDC RECOVERY ?
SDC BOOT (Iassume, boot to CM10 off sdcard?)
SDC ALTBOOT ?
START FASTBOOT ?

Yes,
internal boot - boots Rom in emmc
Internal recovery - recovery in emmc
Sdcard boot - boots your sdcard Rom.
Sdcard recovery - boots sd card recovery ( keep recovery.img in root of sdcard for it to load recovery)
Sdcard altboot - alternate recovery ( not necessary, unless you want both cwm and twrp at same time)
Fastboot - fastboot mode , fastboot commands to flash .img file etc with this method .
As for your problem, try entering recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache partition (I've done this on emmc version, never tried sdcard version of any Rom) this may solve the issue. If not try factory reset.
And removing sdcard while device is switched on is called hot swapping , hot plug is a CPU governor. Not sure if sdcard roms are hot swappable, but I think not.

emmc=internal nook memory I assume?
Oh, and...just to clarify, I haven't modified (rooted) my tablet. (you mention factory reset). I should mention that with the sdcard out, it boots B&N OS just fine.
And the part you say about wiping the two caches, so I should go into SD Card Recovery to do that? Once you get into it, you have various choices like the ones you mention? (I'd read that this choice was to backup your NT to sdcard). And please, I want to be very, very careful not to wipe out the B&N stock OS, so please, any detailed instructions you can give so I don't make that mistake, I'd greatly appreciate it. (I see so many posts on these forums about people bricking their Nook tablets it worries me.)

Um I don't know much about how it works for sdcard Rom. I've always only used emmc version. I guess if you were to enter recovery, it would access the stock cache partition by default , and we aren't trying to clear that.
Try this - use titanium backup (only talking about your sdcard Rom here, nothing to do with your stock) and in options, you may be able to wipe your cache or dalvik cache.
Or,
boot into your sdcard Rom, in settings > backup and restore > factory reset. This will delete all user data and return Rom to original Cm10 that you flashed on sdcard.
Or if it's only google talk and trebuchet launcher issue, install a new launcher (go launcher, adw etc) , then use titanium backup to uninstall trebuchet and talk.

From what I see, titanium backup is an android app. If I can't boot to Android (Trebuchet error loops as I said) I don't know how I can install this to do anything? Nor can I install another launcher or go into Settings as the error doesn't let you get any further.
I guess if there was a way to browse files/folders on the sdcard partitions on the sd to manually delete the cache files.....but if they're linux partitions (ext3 or4) you can't do that under windows...

In cwm, enter mounts and backup, then (if) you see /sdcard /cache, mount that and format that ONLY.
Do not format anything else as some options can brick device (Rom, bootdata, factory etc)
Wiping cache is safe (99%)
Again, I have never used sdcard Rom so I don't know what will show up in your recovery. But if you see something like sdcard cache, it can be cleared. If it doesn't specify sdcard, let us assume it refers to stock emmc.

Why backing up now when it's not working? Fix your issue, then make a backup. So the next time there's a problem you can restore to working condition.

Well, backing up, I think, was a good suggestion by Digimax. So I'm glad I did it. and now i know how to do it for future. Just in case anything EVER goes wrong, I'll always have that image now on my pc. Bad thing was, apparently B&N nook OS apparently keeps lots of APKs around after installing them. I had to make my 1st fat32 partition over 2GB for the entire backup to process without running out of space. backup size=1.6gb
I ran into lost chains - convert to cluster msgs trying to delete the folder of the first failed backup, but it never would delete even after a chkdsk, so I formatted the card and put the original image back onto it, adjusted the partitions, and then ran into a new probem.....the Cyanomod spinning logo never stopping spinning so it won't boot up. So I give up. I don't know if it's that it's a class 10 card that all these problems are happening. barring any other suggestions, I guess I'll make sure the other NT we have runs stable for a few weeks and if so I'll order another class 4 like that one has.

I don't know about your bootloop issue, but I don't think it's a sdcard class issue.
Anyhow, now that you have stock backup, aren't you going to consider flashing cm10 internally? Do you actually use stock?
Sent from my ST27i
I'm a little leery of it, at least while it's under warranty. I don't know how reliable recovery is.? Besides, my daughter wasn't thrilled with it being down for several days with me fussing with it and asked if she could have her "B&N boot" back I admit It is a bit of a pain having to pull it out of it's case, lift the flap, pop-in or out the sdcard to switch between them. (& also to have to remember to always turn it off b4 removing/inserting)
I may do it in the future though. Thanks for the help
FWIW, you don't have to actually remove the card to boot into stock. Just reboot, hold "n" to get into Cyaonoboot menu and choos "int boot" or something like that, and it will boot to stock with the sd-card still inserted.
Great, thanks for that tip!
Card died
I think many of these symptoms could have been caused by a dying card. It did have a corruption error once, and then it finally completely died. Just for anyone else that runs into these.

FWIW, /cache does not need to be backed up, which should help reduce the backup space requirement.
I am so lost, I am reading and reading and can't figure out how to flash a new image to the Nook. What are the exact steps to putting CM 10.1 on it?
I followed this guide and it boots from SD Card into Cynagenmod swirling boot circle if I don't hold the Nook button then it just goes black and I can't do anything from there. If I try to SDC Boot it just black screens. I and boot INT and that is stock with ADW Launcher and Play Store.
I so want to flash a full Jelly Bean on this. Can someone step this idiot through doing that please?

Thank you, I had finally figured it out but I couldn't get the nightly CM 10.1 to work. I went with and AOKP release (I had used it with ICS on the Kindle Fire at one time) and it actually worked. Was able to install the gapps also. I am now in the process of installing all my purchased apps from the Play Store.
This was way more difficult than the Kindle Fire to root and install a custom ROM but I should have it now.
This is my first attempt at rooting and flashing a Nook Tablet. I have an 8GB version 1.4.2 Tablet that I've been trying to flash since 9pm last night. I have 3 different SD cards that I've tried in various combinations across using a guide from Sal Yanez on pureandorid with no luck. I'll outline the steps below in how i've tried to do so...
1) Downloaded and burned the NT16or8gbV47SDimagefile.img to an SD card using Win32DiskImager. The partition comes out to 70MB and I then insert it into my powered off NT.
2) Insert the USB cable into the NT and then into my PC which causes it to boot to CWM recovery (version 5.05.5 i believe.)
3) I select "install zip from SD card" and select the Root_8gb-or-16gb-NTV4_7.zip rom. After it has installed, I unplug the cable and select reboot.
4) The reflashed rom boots and I can access a pseudo-version of android with ADW launcher by pressing the 'n' hardkey. From here, I can access the android apps list menu and select ES File Explorer to install the Nook Recovery Flasher apk.
5) With that installed, I select "Flash CWM Recovery" and wait for it to say it's completed, then select "Reboot to Recovery" after ejecting my SD card.
6) I then copy a CWM recovery zip and a CM rom zip to a second SD card. The combinations i've tried are further below...
7) After rebooting into recovery, I insert the second SD card into the NT and then select "install zip from SD card" and select the CWM recovery file. Once it's installed, I reboot again.
8) After booting and getting back to the ADW launcher, I navigated back to Nook Flasher app and select "Reboot to Recovery"
9) After rebooting into recovery again, I now select "wipe data/factory reset" and then "wipe cache partition" before selecting "install from SD card" and selecting the CM rom file.
10) In all cases, i'll get one of two errors, either i get a status 7 error (presumably because my CWM version isn't compatible with the CM rom file) or it begins to install before the screen flashes white a few times, then tries to reboot and gets stuck at the "read forever" screen. I usually wait about a minute or so before powering it down and then restoring back to stock v1.4.2 via a bootable image i have on a third SD card.
Here are the combinations i've tried (CWM 6.0.2.7 + CM 10.2.1, CWM 6.0.2.7 + CM 10.1.1, CWM 6.0.2.7 + CM 10.1.3, CWM 6.0.4.3 + CM 10.2.1, CWM 6.0.4.3 + CM11 snapshot 11/24/2014, CWM 6.0.4.3 + CM11 nightly 1/5/2015)
So my ultimate question is this, am i just an idiot and I just need to wait longer in step 10? I've felt like i've waited upwards of 3 or 4 minutes, but as it was getting late last night, it might've been shorter and just seemed like I waited that long. Is there some issue with getting CM10 or 11 on the 8GB NT? I've read a thread which stated the 8GB does not play well with CM but i've also seen contradictory information from those who've gotten it to flash successfully. Could it be that the stock v1.4.2 needs to be updated to v1.4.3 first before trying to do the above steps?
Any help is very much appreciated as I've spent several hours now trying to do something that seemed to be fairly straightforward and should've been a 30 min job at the most.
If you are aiming to install a custom ROM like CM to replace stock ROM on EMMC, there is no need to first root the stock ROM with your steps 1-4, as it's going to be totally replaced with the custom ROM. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575489 for background info.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692403 respectively for how to flash CM10 and CM11 on your NT EMMC.
Thanks for the assistance Digimax, I was finally able to get CM11 successfully flashed by burning a bootable SD image from succulent's blog onto an SD card, and then copying the other files from the guide you linked to onto the nook's emmc. Once booted into the TWRP recovery from card, I wiped and then flashed CWMchrmhoffman, CM11, and gapps all in queue, and that seemed to do the trick! Very pleased with the result and finally relieved to move onto other things after several hours of frustration. Thanks again! :highfive:
Hi
I'll try to make it brief. Some time ago, my stock Nook slowed down like a mule so I decided to root it, then applied Trimmer to enable trim. Beforehand I'd checked the eMMc with a Brickbug app and it popped up with "sane chip", as I'd read some Nooks had a faulty Samsung eMMc.
It went into a bootloop, and only started showing shredded Nook letters on an abstract background during boot. Then I tried various bootable SD cards to try to flash various stuff, as per available XDA threads, especially - leapinlar's, verygreen's and amaces'. First it would not complete the flashing of a ROM, just froze towards the end, then eventually wouldn't boot up at all.
Here's the weird part. Without an SD card, it doesn't boot up at all.
When I make a bootable SD, it only boots to TWRP 2.6.0.0 (some other versions [amaces] it won't boot to), but doesn't see any zips on the card and won't let me flash anything, even though it previously did, but wouldn't complete the flash.
Whatever else I burn on the card, it either doesn't boot up at all, or boots to whatever it is you can see on the attached printscreens, and won't mount anything. So if I'm guessing right, the eMMc is not borked, as it seems the device boots to some remnants of something that's there, and not on the SD.
Is there a way of fixing that mess? I'd appreciate any ideas.
Best

You can try to flash this flashable_fix_bootdata-ovation.zip which typically should cure corrupted or missing bootdata issues.
Hi, thanks but how? The only thing I tried so far that the Nook boots to is a TWRP 2.6.0.0. bottable card and it won't see the zips on it. So how can I flash the fix bootdata zip?

Nook HD+ Bootloop error
OK, I tried the succulentboot.zip from your folder:

Now the zips on the sd are accessible, so I tried flashing the flashable_fix_bootdata-ovation and the screen shows the result.
I tried flashing stock recovery too and it says it's done that, but I guess without the fixed bootfiles it won't work anyway.

Assuming that your flashing of stock recovery was successful (recovery's reports of successful completion can sometimes be erroneous) and also your factory backup partition is still intact, you can try to initiate a factory reset by using the "8 failed boots" method: with the Nook in the power-off state, power it on, then as soon as the boot screen appears hold down the power button until it powers off, do this 8 times, and the Nook should go into stock recovery to revert to factory-fresh state.
Flashing your flashable_restore_stock-recovery-ovation zip ends with the screen I'm attaching.
Then I tried "8 failed boots" but it only boots to CWM SD, without the card - it doesn't power up at all.
Eventually, nothing changes.
Tried putting the stock ROM on the card and flashing that, but the partition size is too small, even though its a 16GB card.

If the issue is about the two files, you could mount /bootdata and copy them manually (ADB shell should be functional with any of these recoveries). You'd extract BCB and BootCnt from ZIP, and copy them onto SD card, then do something like:
Code:
mkdir -p /bootdata
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /bootdata
cd /external_sd or /sdcard or /emmc (wherever SD card root is mounted)
cp BCB BootCnt /bootdata/
Or, you could edit the updater-script inside ZIP to remove the device assert line like in the attachment here. By the way, are the updated images here also failing?
Flashing your flashable_fix_bootdata-ovation-no-assert.zip shows "install from sd card complete" but the device still won't power up without the card.
Trying to mount bootdata results in "error mounting bootdata".
There's no adb command line in that sd recovery, just adb sideload. TWRP 2.6 had it but it didn't access the files on the sd.
Then, I'm not sure I'll know how to edit the updater-script inside ZIP to remove the device assert line.
Chances are your EMMC is hosed, in which case you can try running CM entirely off SD card using the succulent special build available at https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.
