[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
It is not failing to install it, it is failing to download the file properly. Try going to Play Store and installing a new browser like Firefox. Once that is installed, use Firefox instead of Chrome to download the file.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] shielahw:
Ok, will try that tomorrow
[Nook HD, HD+ General] shielahw:
Downloaded Firefox, it looked as if it downloaded the app, but it doesn't show up in my list if apps after it says it downloaded, is there another place to look? Any other app I download shows up on the screen if apps.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
There is a difference between downloading an app and installing an app. Usually if you use Play Store it downloads and automatically installs it so it shows up on your screen of apps. However if you just download the apk file like you were trying to do with the Amazon app, it still needs to be installed somehow. And if you install an apk with something other than Play Store or the Nook Store (unknown sources) the app will not show up on the Nook app screen. The only way to see the app is with a third party launcher like zeam. That is why I included zeam with my universal root zip. To install a downloaded app, you must use a file manager to locate where the apk file was downloaded and click on it. It will ask if you want it installed. Then you will need zeam or some other launcher to see the app. This is all explained in my HD/HD+ stock CWM thread.

This discussion really should taking place on my CWM thread rather than on this "won't boot" thread. Then others can learn by it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] shielahw:
Ok, I will ck that thread for more help..I installed zeam when I rooted it, but need to look where file manager is to find the file I guess..I'm assuming it's all in your other thread so I'll ck there when I can. Thnks

Built boot image from scratch on linux, failed.

I just repeated this procedure on a Fedora 20 Linux box with an 8 GB Sandisk class 4 SD-card, put it in a stock Nook HD+ and it did not boot. I have another HD+ sitting here that I had no problems booting and reinstalling (currently running Cyanogenmod 11).
[Nook HD, HD+ General] nevla:
It took me about 7 attempts. I was losing heart until i read this thread. I found that if i held the power button to turn it off while it was booting to Nook, and then hit the power button to turn it on again as soon as the screen went blank it helped. *shrugs*
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Another user (thanks Gorlac) pointed out to me that, after preparing the SD in their PC, if they insert the SD into a powered up Nook, the stock software will write additional files to the SD making it not boot properly when you power off and back on. So, be sure never to install the prepared SD into a Nook powered on with stock.

I have updated my guides warning not to put the SD into a Nook powered on with stock. Make sure it is off before inserting the boot SD. Maybe this will help some users that are having SD boot problems.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
I have not found this to be the case -- when I used to run dual boot with SD-based CM the EMMC stock ROM when running would add/write folders/files onto the SD's boot partition yet afterward the SD card still boots just fine into CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Yes, I agree with that. But maybe there is something to booting the first time, or maybe just with the new HD+ that causes the problem. And it could be the latest version of stock software that is causing the issue. In any case, it does not hurt to be cautious and to not insert until it has booted at least one time.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] adIesumPerMariam:
Thought I'd post what I did to get my SD (4GB PNY) to boot after spending hours with the other recommendations here.

I was using Disk Utility on Mac to partition my SD card. Had to use another partition manager to ensure the partition was set to 'active' and it booted instantly.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] N00b-un-2:
foolproof way to boot to SD

I've tested this multiple times with multiple cards and which method you use to image your SD card, size of SD, brand, etc. do not matter. This will get you to Cyanoboot from SD 100% of the time.

1) Prepare bootable SD card

2) insert bootable SD card into nook while booted into stock firmware

3) go to Menu > All Settings > Device Information > Erase & Deregister Device

yes... you are going to perform a factory reset. it will reboot twice, eventually landing into CWM recovery.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] fanp:
Thanks man. It works. I can't get it boot into CWM but use your method and it works immediately. Thanks.....:good::good::good:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] neonwombat:
"Erase and deregister device" works for me too

Thanks to everyone who has contributed advice and experiences to this thread. The method described in N00b-un-2 's post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54696371&postcount=157) also worked for me. It was the only way I was ever able to get my Nook HD+ to boot from SD card after trying most of the methods mentioned here. I did it several times and it worked consistently. I don't know whether you need to go through the whole setup process every time - I did to be safe as I'm a total newbie. But at the conclusion of the process it will boot to CWM if you have your card set up correctly.

Now I have Android 4.4.4 on it and am a happy bunny!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Gorlac:
To be honest, I tried so many different things that didn't seem to work. It's been a couple of months now, so I don't remember the immediate events that led up to the first successful CWM boot. I do know that after booting into CWM the 1st time, there haven't been any problems booting from the SD card since. I have also accidentally done a factory reset while holding the power button/ Nook key combo that reset me to the factory recovery once. At the time of the install I was running the most recent OTA firmware. An identical HD+ had no issues, so it may have been in the boot flags that were configured on the SDA card itself. I tried multiple times to reformat and all 4 permutations of have the lba and boot flags set. Currently I have both lba & boot set and I believe it will boot without lba set now.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] kc12:
Toshiba 8gb class 4

I used a toshiba 8gb and it took about a half a dozen tries but it finally booted to CWM recovery.

to anyone trying: Keep trying- after you power the tablet off, remove the SDcard and then put it back in, power on. Keep doing this until the card is recognized.

A big thanks to the developer!
[Nook HD, HD+ General] nevla:
Same again...

I just struggled to get this to work with my 4th Nook HD+

This time i went for CM11, and so wiped the SD card and started from scratch. After an hour of it not booting, reformating the SD card and generally getting really annoyed, I went back to the original instructions and followed them to the letter. It worked.

The key is following this when copying the boot files: "Copy the five extracted files to the SD. Copy the file MLO first before the other four files."

Then I copied the CWM, CM11 and Gapps one at a time in the order specified.

*shrugs* I dont know how the order is important, but it worked for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] atisha:
I tried your method. I'm on stock software version 2.2.1. At point 5, it doesn't download softward update, and reset itself. Therefore CWM screen does not load. What should I do?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
There are many other tricks in this thread that users have successfully used to get their device to boot to the CWM SD. I suggest you try more things.

And booting to a CWM or TWRP SD is the only current way to root or install a different ROM to your device. You used to be able to root via ADB but B&N closed that loophole a long time ago.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] johnnybobo:
This worked perfectly for me. I'd tried everything else to no avail. My info:

Kingston 16GB Class 4

Nook was on the latest firmware and did not update after factory resetting

Exact steps:

1. Put the SD card in

2. Power on

3. As soon as Nook shows up on the screen, hold down the power button again to hard power off

4. As soon as it powers off, hold the power button again to power back on

Having said that, this was about the 10th time I had tried to power cycle the Nook, so maybe I just got lucky, but these steps did work immediately.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jaydee5:
Thanks everyone for sharing! After hours of trying, what worked for me was to be sure to place an installable zip (for example, CWM11, gapps, etc.) along with the bootfiles. Had several trips thru factory reset, registration, etc. But taking a 16gB Lexar (class 6; SDformatter formatted, active partition with mini-wizard) that had not worked before, and adding CWM11 zip brought about success. The Nook may look for updates on an SD card to determine whether to boot from it in one of its many states... Undoubtedly there are several factors at play here, but fyi.

Thanks again!

Peace.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] chuckglobal:
So I able to successfully boot into CWM through an SD card with my Nook HD. But for some reason whenever I try to select anything in the menu such as to flash a zip or factory reset the screen flashes and nothing happens. I have tried multiple reboots but it has happened every single time. If someone could help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
Are you pressing the correct button to activate the selected item? Sometimes people press the wrong button and can't figure out why nothing happens.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] chuckglobal:
I'm using the volume buttons to move up and down and the power button to select. Are those the correct buttons?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Try using the Nook U button to select.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] chuckglobal:
Oh wow thanks that worked. I guess I was just used to the input method from other android devices.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] hereusethis:
"No boot" means black-screen nothingness, right?

Can I just confirm that not booting with the SD card means "not doing anything." ?As in a blank black screen and no apparent action from the nook? Because that's what it is doing for me. Card in, and the power button seemingly does nothing. Pop the card out and Nook HD+ boots right up.

I've been reading this thread assuming my situation was what all of you are going through but I've seen some "solutions" that tell me otherwise. For example, one talks about starting it with the card in, and then powering it off when the "nook" writing pops up. But mine won't give me that nook logo if I try to power it on with a bootable card.

I've tried what look like all the solutions here plus many, many boots over the past few days. I've also tried two different cards and have gone through re-creating the bootable partition and copying the files (paying strict attention to the order) a number of times. I'm pretty much out ideas. Any thoughts for me to get this thing booting to twrp?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
"not booting with the SD card" typically (i.e., as in the context of the extensive thread on this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2288688) means the Nook will boot straight to stock ROM, acting as if the SD card is not present.

Hence the fact that your Nook stays dark whenever there is SD card inserted might be a promising sign that the device recognizes the existence of the SD card in its boot process but runs into problem booting from it. See the notes at the bottom of http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51043572&postcount=1 for some info/pointers. Also, if you're using an SD card of 32GB or larger, I'd suggest you try create the boot partition with a size <= 16GB.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] hereusethis:
It's Alive!

So I had tried a multitude of cards (16gb class 8, one 8 gb class 6, one 8gb class 4 and one 4gb class 4 and some others I forrget. I worked through the instructions methodically, tried repartitioning multiple times, tried adding files in different orders (MLO always first) and so on. Always a black screen and no booting.

And then I remembered I had another small card that was "stored" (eg, buried in the back of a drawer with other tech castoffs) with my archive NST Noogie recovery. I dug it out --- it was a no-name 2gb and had no "class" notation (so probably class 2 or lower?). I also decided to use a different computer with a different OS, with a different card reader and a different version of MiniTool.

I went through the well-practiced steps again, popped it in the nook, hit power and ..... it worked immediately! Yay! At this point I'm guessing it was the card, but since I changed so much other stuff (card reader, OS,and so on), I'll probably never know for sure (and hopefully I never have to go through that again).

But at least I'm running CM on my nook. Now to figure out why the Gapps Google setup wizard keeps crashing.

Thanks for your help, XDAers! :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
Make sure that you wipe /data and pick the right GApps release.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] hereusethis:
Thanks. I did try that via twrp. I'm trying to install the Arm 6.0i pico ( nano gave me messg that there wasn't enough room in system) from http://opengapps.org/ -- But I don't want to go on too much off topic in this thread. I'll try to flash it again and if I need help I'll ask in an install thread. :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ieatabiscuit:
When you make a viable SD card, make sure you don't forget to set the partition on it to active. That little step alone will leave you scratching your head forever. Also make sure the card is not set to some random allocation size. Factory default is what you want. Tablets and such sometimes change this if you let them format it for you. Just a little FYI.

my nook hd wont boot for a long time withe cwm sd card, it boots eventually if i plug it in but it just boots into the stock os.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] ze7zez:
Try what he wrote leapinlar in >this< thread:

"Power up Nook. Nook should boot from card with 'Cyanoboot' logo on-screen. If it boots into stock ROM, power off Nook, remove and reinsert the card, and try again. Some Nooks are finicky and have trouble booting, so try several times. If it still fails, try with a different SD card."

In my case, the use of SanDisk Ultra 32 GB memory (SDSQUNS-032G-GN3MN) has helped.

Hi,

Another noob question from me.

I recently bought a HTC One. I uploaded a custom ROM (was silly and didn't backup properly). I'd like to have the ability to restore the phone to a complete factory reset. I want the same, exact HTC ROM that the phone originally shipped with, and also no ***TAMPERED***, ***UNLOCKED***. I'll worry about the tampered and unlocked later (locking should be easy - but i want ***LOCKED*** not ***RELOCKED***).

My phone's info:

M7_U PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.44.0000

RADIO-4A.14.3250.13

OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202

eMMC-boot

Mar 15 2013,22:11:42:-1

I keep on running into deadends thinking I've found the factory stock ROM, but when I try to install it, I get errors like 'could not install'...

At some point I relocked the phone and the install went further, but eventually failed with a 'wrong model' error or something. Based on the model info above of my phone can someone point me in the right direction to find the correct ROM?

Thanks so much. I hope soon to be just as much of a contributor as I am an asker...:)

it seems that you have wrong header.sin or you didn't enter the flashmode properly. make sure you get notice 'the device is plugged with flashmode' or something like that when you plug in the usb to your pc. to fix the header.sin issue you'll need the correct one. you can find it on the same thread where you got your tft.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] xrhstospro:
flash then a kernel to enter cwm

i think that ico98 dont know how to fix header.sin and its better to flash a kernel from fastboot...its more easy...do you agree?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
I'm not sure about that. he didn't give any specific info about how messed up his system is. if he install any stock ICS based rom (without any custom kernel) his problem mostly could be fixed by reflashing the rom and wipe the data. flashing a kernel won't fix this issue. aside from that scenario, there are several more scenario i.e:

1 he could have install a JB based rom then he install a ICS rom, completely dead. need to flash complete tft or reflash JB rom and wipe data.

2 ICS rom with custom ICS kernel. can be fixed by flash a stock kernel

3 etc etc...there are a lot of scenario

my main point is that flashing a kernel doesn't always fix anything. in most cases, I only suggest that step for more advanced user. without enough data about the system condition flashing a complete tft will be a general and always working method.

anyway, before we do any 'flash' thing, IMO wipe data might be a good choice. most new member forget about that important step and ended up with a bricked device.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] xrhstospro:
ok then...i said to flash kernel and to choose a custom rom (gimlo, paradox etc) but if ico98 download again ftf file will he have this problem again? (header.sin)

P.S. sometimes i forgot to wipe system and data when i am to cm10 and i want to go back to ics and the only problem i have is some apps to force close....no brick only fc

P.S.2 i installed kernels from xperia mini pro and insecure kernel E dual and my phone didnt brick, just not boot...maybe my phone has immunity at brick ahahahahahahaha
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
