[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaenaee:
You’re lucky. I got stuck at the below stage with two sdcards (Sandisk and Transcend) :

“For TWRP Recovery: Mount > Select “Boot” > Click “Home” button > Install > (Up a Level) > boot > Select *_HD_SDC_NOEMMC.zip > Swipe to install > Reboot System”

I definitely can’t comprehend why my Nook can’t see the _HD_SDC_NOEMMC.zip (and respectively select this zip file for installation), although I copied it to these sdcards using normal windows means without any problem.

If anyone has any clue on what else can be done to *properly* copy the zip file to a sdcard or something for TWRP could recognize it, please share.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamo75:
Exactly the same here.

The step "For TWRP Recovery: Mount > Select “Boot” " fails with me as pressing on Boot to check/mark it and with this to mount it fails. If I go to see the logs I can see log that it can't be mounted. Since this fails and the zip file is located there, it cannot be accessed in further step "Click “Home” button > Install > (Up a Level) > boot > Select *_HD_SDC_NOEMMC.zip "

With Windows you can access partition Boot on SDcard and copy there, but copying to other partition(s) requires the procedures mentioned above using adb, ..

Paul: did you access partition Boot or performed this step in another way, perhaps?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulInAtlGA:
I was able to access the Boot partition. I have a 16GB class 6 SD card.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaenaee:
Sounds strange, as though we deal with different references.

Do you mean when you write that you “accessed partition” that you just *copied* the zip file on the sd card using windows explorer and that did all the trick?

What is the free space on your 16Gb card after burning? Mine (8Gb) has only 239Mb free space left for windows partition, so that I can’t even squeeze in the ggaps zip in addition to the noemmc zip there.

Did you manage to copy the ggaps zip together with the noemmc zip on your sd card before installation, btw?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulInAtlGA:
Yes to your first questions. As for the second one, I forgot to try copying the ggaps zip along with the main zip file. I loading it after installation.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaenaee:
Paul,

It’s absolutley amazing! I still think that those 99 percent of the sd disk space is designed for linux partition, and nevertheless you were able to effortlessly bypass this insidious limitation. Your story is situated in my mind somewhere on the borderline with miracles, at least until someone is really able to reproduce your marvelous installation. All in all, I’m extremely jealous. You must be born with a silver spoon in your mouth!:)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulInAtlGA:
Well the difference in the sd cards we're using my explain it. Also - I can't remember clearly, but I may have checked "System" in addition to "Boot". Not sure if that would have helped.

Paul
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaenaee:
The size of the sd card does not make any difference at all. I just tried out a 16 gb sd card (class 6) without any success. As expected, it has the same 239 mb free space left for windows partition, and the log unequivocally confirms that the sd card cannot be mounted. I don’t want to call a spade a spade, but there’s something fishy about all the instruction in question I’m afraid.

Can't Mount E:/...

Looking for help with bricked Nook HD+

Can't mount e:/sdcard therefore can't install the zip file. I'm able to get to clockworkmod, and was able to push the Ovation zip file to the internal sd card, but can't install and can't sideload and even tried a command to kickoff install

recovery --update_package=/sdcard/data/cm-10.1-20130819-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-noemmc.zip

Process starts, but abruptly stops. One time it said needed root and asked me if I wanted to root. I selected yes, but still couldn't execute.

Any thoughts on how to fix would be much appreciated.

How does CWM recovery work?

If I were to unzip the image and copy it manually via adb push, is this the same as unzipping the recovery file on the sdcard? Can't get it to execute. complains about root. I tried to su and found su is not on my emc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatabiscuit:
CWM is deprecated these days. You might get better results with TWRP, especially since it's officially supported on these devices now. Also, can the noemmc zip is not for flashing onto the internal memory. It's too boot from the SD card instead. If you unzip to the card, it may work if it's designed to be an SD card version. No promises though, I've never tried it that way.

Issue causing no mount found...

In my case the issue was caused by my Sandisk 64GB ultra micro sd card. Everything seemed to work fine, I was able to use it to boot and copy files ect... In the end, for whatever reason I was unable to run the zip install on this card. I replaced it with a 32 GB Samsung EVO card and this worked. I was still getting the E: drive can't mount message, but the everything else worked as described. Thanks to all who put together this fix...

Recommendations on version of CM on NookHD+

Nook HD+ ovation won´t boot anymore

I installed in 2014/15 CM11 on my HD+. After a while it wont boot anymore.

Without SD Card it shows only: "nook" and nothing happens.

With SD Card it shows "cyanoboot universal bootloader" and nothing happens.

What can i do?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digixmax:
Do you have a SD-based CWM recovery (such as Verygreen's SD-based CWM http://nook.rootshell.ru/hd/emmc-cwm-early3.1.img.gz) on that SD card?

I'd suggest that you try re-installing CM11 (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2679899 for pointers).

If you cannot flash and boot the ROM, it's possible that your EMMC is bricked. If so, you can try to run CM11 entirely off SD card by using a CM ROM image specially built for no-emmc posted at https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.

Hello!

Sorry for my english :o

My tablet died definitely? :crying:

Yesterday did not turn on the screen, when I unlocked it. Toward the attempt, but it always went out. Then holding down the start button I turned it off.

But when I try to turn it on again, it stays on the initial screen of cyanoboot and a message appears that says: (SDC) LOADING BOOT ...

Testing, I could access the recovery but from there I can not mount the path /boot or /data or /system

I am currently using a noemmc since it seems that the emmc has crashed.

I tried the card on the PC and it shows three partitions and the content, but when I use the card on the tablet it seems unable to mount the partitions

The battery seems to be working and the described behavior is repeated, when it is connected to the power outlet, or with the battery or connected to the PC ...

What I can do? Is the tablet completely broken? :confused:

emmc - verify it is corrupt?

I have a Nook HD+ which was running CM 10.1 until it quit booting. It sat in a drawer for almost two years until two days ago when I decided to try and recover it. I've worked on this on an off for two days and currently have CM 10.1 running from an SD card with no emmc. That said, I suspect the emmc is fine but I've screwed up the partitions somehow. I say this because the last step I took before going for the emmc-less sdcard solution I was able to copy files off of /data partition. The next boot all the partitions were gone. Here is the output from fstab and recovery.fstab.

I had 6.0.4.3 CWM internally and was booting from 6.0.2.8 in order to flash stock image 2.1.1. I accidentally tried to installthe factory 2.1.1 image under 6.0.4.3 and it partially ran. At that point the /data partition showed up. I hadn't seen it before that. However, after the next reboot it was gone as well as all the /dev/block/mmcxxxxx devices.

Is there something that I can do to confirm emmc is corrupt? It won't be the end of the world if it is gone but I'd like to run something newer than CM 11 if possible and I can't find an noemmc version of any of the later releases.

Hi

My Nook HD+ problem is described here:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613&page=139

I still don't know whether the eMMc is borked or just the partitions are corrupt. Were the latter the case, would it be possible to fix them? Since the device boots to TWRP on SD, why doesn't it see the flashable zips on the SD? It did before. Thanks. W.

Which version of TWRP did you use?

With amaces' v3.0.1-0, under "Install" tab there is menu button to select internal or external storage and their folder/files.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojtasys:
Hi, I think it was TWRP 2.8 from Amaces' thread for general HD+ rooting, the newer version didn't work. The 2.8 first saw the zips on SD, but wouldn't complete the flashing process (towards the end it just froze), and then it stopped seeing the zips on the card completely. Now it won't let you select external SD, same with the 3.0.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

There a way of determining whether the eMMc is kaputt or just the partitions are borked? Is there a way of fixing them, should the latter be the case? I saw the procedure for Nook Colour on XDA, I wonder if you could do that with the HD+

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kat3k:
I don't know if this is a phone problem or a Windows 7 problem, but I am unable to transfer photos by bluetooth from laptop to phone. I had previously done it, and also was allowed to select several files at a time, then "send to bluetooth", with no problems. Now I am only able to select one file at a time, or the bluetooth option disappears. Files seem to be sending and arriving, but when I check the file destination, "null" follows the file name, and it is empty.

I suspect it might have changed with one of the auto updates in Windows, which I had accidentally not disallowed, and there appear to have been several since the last time I transferred successfully, which was 1/27/13. There are also a lot of other things I don't want to lose with a rollback, so would like to find a solution. I have also done the Sprint OTA update recently, but I think at least part of the problem is on the PC side, because of limiting bluetoothing to one file at a time, which was not the way it was before.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Firstly, this question is in no way intended to insult JamieD81 and I apologize in advance for any insult unintentionally implied.

I am running Jamie's builds of ParanoidKangDroid and am impressed with it's stability, as I was with all of the previous ROMs that he has shared with us.

Due to my love of PA's Hybrid Tablet mode (Jellybeer's take on it leaves the clock too small and disproportionate for my tastes), and the desire to have the latest version of Android I was running the ROM that is banned here (from what I took to be due to the builder passing off other's work as their own).

A not too thorough glance through System Settings leads me to think that ParanoidKangDroid is the ROM that was being plagiarized.

Am I anywhere near correct? If not no big deal, I've got a ROM that is more stable than that one, and comes from a ROM builder of great reputation. If it is the properly credited & branded version of the plagiarized ROM, then it is great to see a PROPER version on here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Its not plagiarized, its built from pk's sources which roms are on the d2 devices, reason the roms were taken off from my understanding is between manel and a mod, not anything to do with roms in this section.

Me and manel have both been heavily warned in the past *note my attitude change on xda for the last while? There is a reason for that, I took the mods serious :P

Hopefully that clears it up a bit for you.

I think the OP might be speaking of JellyBam, not Vanilla Rootbox. Wasn't the JellyBam dev trying to pass off the work as his own?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
Jamie, I am in no way implying the you have plagiarized anything, ever. I don't even know what the deal is with Manel. As the poster above me had correctly supposed, the plagiarizer is the Jellybam team. Which I am reluctant to give any credence to.

Your PROPER build of paranoidkangdroid is very similar to the improperly branded works of those that I mentioned in the previous paragraph which led me to believe that they misappropriated that work as their own.

Again, i regret any and all negative implications that you have taken from my first post and have the utmost respect for your works and your activity here.

My Note would be next to useless without your efforts.

Let's say, just for arguments sake, you have a set of 10 facts. All, of which, are true. When pondering on a solution you leave facts number 2, 4, 6 and 8 out of your equation. You are subject to reach an entirely different conclusion.

Had an old boss one time that would always tell me, "Son, just remember...there are always three sides to every story...yours, mine and the truth somewhere in the middle. Our job is to find that middle."

And as an arbiter for many years dealing with union negotiations, his advice served me well.

This is one of the things people forget about when they say Apple charges too much money. When you have a problem, you goto the Apple store, they'll hand you a 'new' device on the spot. Its usually a refurb, but if they don't have any refurbs, you get a new one. And if they don't have any new ones, you get an upgrade. My wife's iPhone 4 had an issue with the charging port. They had zero iPhone 4's in stock at the Apple store so they gave her a brand new 4S. Not a refurb, they opened a brand new box and handed it to her.

I'm surprised Samsung hasn't started doing this even if its a 'mini store' inside of places like Best Buy or the like.
