INTERNAL PARTITIONS:

File System Name => Part. Block

xloader => mmcblk0p1

bootloader => mmcblk0p2

recovery => mmcblk0p3

boot => mmcblk0p4

rom => mmcblk0p5

bootdata => mmcblk0p6

factory => mmcblk0p7

system => mmcblk0p8

cache => mmcblk0p9

media => mmcblk0p10

userdata => mmcblk0p11​

OPTION #1: Flashing partitions 1-4 and 6 from CWM sdcard

1. Follow my instructions posted here to create a bootable CWM sdcard

2. Download flash_restore_8gb_partitions_1-4&6.zip | flash_restore_16gb_partitions_1-4&6.zip and copy the file to your sdcard aswell.

3. Boot into CWM sdcard and flash the .zip file you copied previously

4. Long press power button to power off your Noook tablet and remove your sdcard

5. Download nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip

6. Put your sdcard back in your PC, format it with fat32 file system and set the primary partition to "Active" on windows (LBA: boot on Linux)

7. Copy nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip to your empty sdcard, once done safely eject your sdcard and put it back into your Nook Tablet

8. Power on your device. The nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip should flash now and you will be back to purely out-of-the-box stock. That if your brick is not that bad!

OPTION #2: Flashing internal partitions manually

* Use only the partition(s) needed, there is not need to use them all if you just formatted 1 partition "mistakenly"

1. Follow my instructions posted here to create a bootable CWM sdcard

2. Boot into CWM sdcard

3. Install ADB if you haven't and make sure your device is recognized!

4. Open a Terminal and issue the following commands:

$ adb devices

make sure your device's serial ID shows up

[B]$[/B] adb shell
[B]~#[/B] mount sdcard
[B]~#[/B] dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
[B]~#[/B] dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
[B]~#[/B] dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
[B]~#[/B] dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
[B]~#[/B] dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=4096

* mmcblk0p5 partition keeps your original serial ID's and MAC address so is better for you to backup your rom partition so you get your info intact once you unbrick your device

[B]~$[/B] adb shell
[B]~#[/B] mount sdcard
[B]~#[/B] dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p5
