hello guys,
i am a new android user and it is second time for me to root/flash room, my nook tablet was rooted and when i tried to flash cm 10.2, tablet won't boot from sd card, so i press n + power bottom(as someone said it can help tablet go to cwm recovery 6.0) i believe i hold 10-15 second, and i accidentally replease one of the bottom, n or power, i am not sure.. so my nook become as brick. every time i turn it on, it says i need to reboot again, if doesn't work i need to contact to nook customer service.
now, i have used two method so far, ubantu and cwm recovery, they seem not working at all(the tablet won't let me in to cmw v6.x when it was not bricked),and i tried the last one and only one that was use repary.img to recover(which is newest method in 2012,i am not sure if there a way way other than this) repart.img won't unzipped on my computer, my computer is win7 64 bit,the zip said,"unexpected ending of this archive"
what that mean?it means i am only one cannot unzipped the file in that thread.
by the way, i can still go to cwm 5.0 for my root-format sd card, but not the recovery sd card or anything else, HELP!!! it has been whole day!

Hi,
you need a clean copy of the repart.image.
http://d-h.st/5vJ
instruction thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
the repart.img sd card has been the most dependable way for me to reset any nook tablet , 8 or 16gb to stock.
I'd say get the latest copy of the img file, and burn it to a CLASS 4 Sandisk card
my experience is higher or lower class cards are often not as good for booting from NOOK tablets
if you erased the /system folder accidentally and di not reinstall an operating system, then the tablet will try to boot into recovery
if you erased the /factory partition accidentally, then even with a good recovery partition, the recovery will fail

sorry to hear that.
I have a similiar tablet, something has triggered the flash ram to not accept any writes

I tried to boot from sdcard but it seem don't recognize the sdcard during boot
putting zip files on sdcard is not working
CWM sdcard and ubuntu sdcard also not working
cannot get into CWM and how can I fix it?
I spend over 5 hours but nothing work......
Sometimes the SD Card boot "only" works by plugging in the nook power cable.
I tried more than 50 times by plugging the power cable and still the same....
BTW thank you for answering, if you have any other method, once I can do it, I will try it....
Is the Nook store near by ?
Sad to say no...
I am from Hong Kong....
What SD card are you using, i.e. Class and brand.
The higher class cards do not work all that well for booting from. The Sandisk Class 4 card, any size I imagine, works well for booting off card.
Not sure if this is your problem, but trying a different card my be a good direction to go for a fix, if you can get into CWM it will help.
Also, what specifically did you do/try to get yourself to this point? Always helps to know how you broke it to be able to fix it.
I am using sandisk class sd card
This happen will I try to change back from CM9 with new kernel and TWRP to CWM and CM7.2
After flashing CM7.2 and CWM, it successfully boot for once and then get into this situation on next reboot
I tried ubuntu recovery, sdcard version CM7.2 and this, but nothing work....
It looks like you have a similar problem to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27381972. I think, form skimming over the thread they were able to get into CWM from sdcard - after many attempts. If you can get to that point you should be able to get an adb connection where as you can work your way out of this. Just read the linked thread, it should point you in the right direction.
Good Luck
I tried more than 100 times still noting happen
But when plugging in the power cable and boot the tablet, the indicator keep orange light and not green as it is in that post...
more options
what sdcard version of CWM are you using? you should try with another sdcard just in case, the procedures for a succesful CWM sdcard are the following:
For Windows users:
- Power off your NT and remove sdcard
- Put your sdcard into a card reader (preferably)
- Format your sdcard with SDFormatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/eula_windows/ (recommended) or any other but not windows native.
- Download latest Win32DiskImage-binary.zip from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download (v5.0 recommended)
- Unzip the file
- Run Win32DiskImage.exe - Right click "run as administrator"
- Click the folder button and navigate to select the .img file you just unzipped.
- Click on the disk drive letter label on the right, and choose the letter that corresponds to your SD card.
- Press Write. When it finishes, press Exit.
- Safely eject/remove your sdcard and put it back to your NT
- Plug your device to the a/c power or PC using the USB cable, let it power on by itself do not press any button.
WARNING: This will completely erase your microSD card. Be sure to back it up!

OK let me get in puter I have other options. Obviously something in the boot process is corrupted
Edit: back!
Please try the following:
1. Verify the md5sum the ROM(s) you want to install just to make sure is not corrupted
2. Follow the instructions i posted in here to flash another CWM to discard CWM being part of the problem. Now as you already have the CWM sdcard you just need to add 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip to the sdcard then boot again into CWM sdcard and flash that package
3. After that remove your sdcard and select reboot system now from the CWM menu, if your device boots fine then Congrats, if not then read the options below:
4. Read and try this. If no go, goto #5:
5. Read and try this
LAST RESOURCE:
6. [unbrick] - Fixing partition table, or completely dead nook. Use this ONLY if you have the 16GB model as you did not mention that detail in your posts i'm giving you a warning!

Right i forgot to add that @meghd00t's cwm sdcard already contain the 2 files (tools) that @soshite was talking about , so basically you just need the cwm sdcard, my partition images and adb working.

after trying option 6, the tablet now can boot into internal CWM
But after I flash CM7, it still keep booting into CWM rather than CM7....
Thanks for all, I can now get into the stock 1.4.0
I flash the flash-restore-stock.zip from here in CWM
and then using acclaim_update.zip to restore the tablet back to 1.4.0
I guest I may change the boot data and get mess up with it
Finally, thanks again for all help:laugh:
Yeah, for everyone else out there:
You must have stock recovery in order for the acclaim_update.zip to work.
Last night I rooted my wife's nt from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368 Got my brown box, went to CWM installed .img worked like a charm. When it came time to install CM7 then CM10 I kept getting "no files found" which then I realized I still hadn't checked the "USB debugging" or "allow unknown sources" because it was still hidden (I'm assuming it's because of the 1.4.3 update. So I just reboot nook without CM so I could go to my hidden settings. Checked the appropriate boxes, downloaded goo manager and tried to install them through goo manager... no dice. It just keeps booting with the "n" flash and doesn't show me the awsomeness that is CM animation.
I have 2 SD cards I am using (2gb scan disk I used for the .img) and an 8gb scan disk (that one has an HC on it). I tried the 8gb and it wasn't working so I tried the 2gb which I think was a mistake now because I reformatted it. (you'll see why in a minute.)
Neither of the SD cards were working so I was trying to access CWM through goo manager, by rebooting into recovery... again no dice So then I thought to myself, "well why not just rewrite .img to the 2gb and hard boot that way... well after I initially wiped it to put the ROM and gapps EVERYTIME I try to write the .img on the 2gb I get "file size is too big" I re partitioned the SD just like before and it will not write because file is too big. So I said "okay maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I have a huge 8gb I can use"... same thing, file is too big.
Where did I go wrong? I am thinking that maybe I don't have the most current CWM I think it's 5.0.3.x don't quote me. Did I corrupt my 2 SD cards? It was very difficult to find a .img that didn't have a broken link does that have anything to do with it? Any help would be great!
I want to root and install everything internally so I don't have nook anymore can I get there from where I'm at, or do I have to reboot to stock and start over again. I hope I didn't destroy the two SD cards I have. Thanks for any and every bit of imput you guys!
I would suggest you start over again and here is really easy way to do it:
1. Download, extract and burn this ready-made CM10 sd image to a 2 GB (?) (or larger - not 100% sure of the size since I use a larger card myself) sd card. Use this card as a bootable CWM card. Even if it's a complete run-able CM10 it also works as a bootable CWM! Very handy!
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ t's a big download, but it's a more or less fool proof way of doing it! If I remember correctly there is actually room enough to put CM10 and GApps on the card. At least the one I use.
2. Boot into the recocvery of that card by pressing the "n" right after the power button and then hold the "n" to get to boot menu
3. In boot menu choose "sd recovery" ot something similar. This will take you to CWM
4. When in CWM install zips, wipe cache and Dalvik and you should be fine!
Once CM10 is installed it probably comes with CWM (the one I use does), so to get into CWM next time you need it, just hold "n" like before, but no need for a CWM card.
Edit: I checked, and there IS enough room for my favourite ROM and gApps on the boot section of the card. "My favourite" is the 1231 build on Iamafanof site. I have tried more recent ones, but I always go back to this one. Just my opinion of course! http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/

To flash CM10.1 internally, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for some pointers.
digimax: am I writing anything to the SD card, or just drag and dropping files? I tried the drag and drop but I don't get the cyanoboot it just boots to nook. So I extracted the boot.zip and only drag and dropped the 3 files from the boot.zip and still just boots to nook. I know it''s simple (it was the first time I rooted my ole shift evo).
The process I describe installs everything internally and is the easiest way to do it. Like I say: almost fool proof.

First thanks for taking time to read my post. How I got in my position, cant tell ya . I should of done more research but to tell you the truth I was in love with my crazy cool Nook Tablet running JB and I got careless. Adams Ubuntu sd card it would load a lit black screen and no more left it overnight, nothing .Megd repart .img I would get the red X as soon as it popped up. I never created did the windows version when I tried parted I never got the error just some messed up version of what used to be a partition I had use of adb when in cwm recovery no serial # just 00 Icant mount anything followed Veronicas threads got Ubuntu on virtual box I would be able to do some steps and then I would not be able to load something like sdcard . I thought I had gotten lucky when I found the recovery .img with the tools already loaded. By The way THANK YOU soooo much for taking the time to make cool @SS stuff and let us play!! well I tried loading scripts to sdcard mounts and what not was not getting any thing out of my sdcard. I did the steps were you erase the partitions then remake everything my partitions looked sweet when I reboot nothing sdcard has the partitions and I ast thing I did was used the step to erase that was a few weeks ago I had given up on it .then as a long shot decided to pm Veronica and ask for some help. started trying stuff again loaded cyanoboot from there loaded twrp for some reason I lost my adb I cant load drivers but I can LOad some .img files from cyanoboot so my partitions and mounts are gone adb not working (but I can fix that )I have a sixteen gb nook tablet 1.4.3 rooted with nook and zergy. Is their a rom that I can load from cyanoboots boot menu that will fix everything. wishful thinking
look what i found
I don't know if this helps but I did a cwm back up brfore getting bricked and then I copied my sdcard to my gf's pc I forgot all about it she pointed it out

If you erased (without first backing up) the 2 partitions /rom and /factory then you have wiped out your NT's factory-installed individual device data (MAC address, security encryption keys, serial no., etc.) without which the NT will not function. The backup made using CWM only covers the 4 partitions /boot, /recovery, /system, and /data, so you won't be able to restore this data using CWM backup. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more info.

If you have an SD card on hand I'd suggest that you first burn a SD image of Succulent's CM10.1 (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/) or CM10.2 (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/) and see if your NT would boot and run CM off SD card.
If it does boot and run off SD then the device data is probably intact and you can proceed to flash stock or CM internally (or simply just continue to run CM off SD).
If it doesn't I'd suggest you contact @AdamOutler for help with restoring a copy of romdata.zip to your NT's /factory partition.

ok the only thing I have been able to get to work have been recoveries. tried to boot Cm 10.2 sdcard you recommended the sd card did not boot so I used one that loads up CYANOBOOT went into boot menu took that sd card out put in the rom sd go into boot. My nook tablet's screen went black lit internally. Is it loading rom? or am I SOL?
When you boot up the CM10 SDcard it should boot into Cyanoboot which in turn should load SD CM10 ROM (and should indicate that it's "loading SDC ..."), then the screen should black out for up to about 3 min before boot-animation (counter-rotating CM circles) appears.
If Cyanoboot does not appear then the SD card is not bootable (see Notes section of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1 for some potential causes). Also you might have to boot the NT from its power off by inserting a powered USB cable.
If Cyanoboot loads SDC ROM but the screen goes dark for over 5 min then the CM10 boot has failed.
Tried and tried no luck

Hello all. I am trying to root my Barnes&Noble Nook Tablet (model bntv250a, 8gb, It's the tablet, not a color, hd, etc.). I've tried multiple guides from Indirects to Walters, etc. here on the forum as well as several youtube guides and I can't seem to get clock work rom manager running on the device off of my sd card (micro sd hc I 8gb class 4). So before I tear all the hair out of my scalp I was hoping someone on the forum could give me a hand. Please hurry. I can still use some hair spray and make it into a comb over but I'm slowly losing blood from the lacerations in my skull.
To be more specific the issue occurs after I have formatted the sd card, copied the flash img to it using windows file explorer. When I try to boot it it come to a black screen. When the card is removed it reboots too a screen asking if I want to restore the device to factory settings

See section "Making a Bootable Recovery SDcard" at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/general. If you choose to use a pre-made image you need to use a disk-image writer program such as win32diskimager to write (aka "burn") the .img image file to your SDcard, rather than use windows "copy" command to copy the .img file to the SDcard.

I think this is a consequence of your NT experiencing too many failed boots.
I don't normally do this I just lurk around for my questions but this time I really give up. I have done plenty of work with 16 gb stuff, but never 8 GB nook, trying to install CM 10.2 on a friend's 8GB Tablet, the issue is I cannot seem to find an img for clockworkmod I can just burn to an SD card, lavero.burgos guide requires CWM to already be installed into the internal recovery, but what if I take a clean nook out of the box, are there no CWM images I can burn straight to the SD version 6.x.x and after?
The other method seems to be the one where you create the partitions manually. Which is fine and all, and my device is obviously doing something, but it locks up on the cattonbox and doesn't continue on to CWM. Things I have tried:
1. putting in MLO first after freshly creating 0x0c partition (yes its active) and then the other files for custom SD-recovery
2. replacing the recovery in lavero burgos zip with the cwm_6012.img file, renaming it recovery.img
3. also tried renaming the file instead to boot.img that some guy recommended
4. have tried another sd, rinse, repeat
All the "SD" burnable images are either invalid, or have no partition information. The custom SD method has some sort of issue. I do plug in the cable. The problem isn't getting it to recognize the SD card as a bootable media, the problem is getting to go into CWM, I'm all out of wit, it's been two days man, basically:
HELP?
EDIT: Just tried cwm_6033.img; no dice. These images are supposed to be 8GB Friendly I believe. I don't understand what gives
EDIT 2: Great. I wasted some freaking space on the forum. Sorry guys. Use cwm_6033, rename boot.img, and hold "N" when the trash box comes up. Yay
