[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gstrubinsky:
Yesterday was obviously not my day. I HAVE had it registered but since the devices picture was a tad too wide for the first page it was put on a second page with lots of free space on the left of page one made me believe that there was only one page. I could verify (on the flap, thank you!) that both SNs are the same.

Since a SN is unique and useless for other devices I believe that I can easily give it out publicly: 3024830385134318

If you would find it in your heart, please send me the customized version and let me know what I shall do which should be different to what I did :(

I formatted the SD card and built it including the img of the universal bootloader (I used the first time a class 1 card (since no C4 was around AND free to overwrite) which probably was the reason for my lack of success and the following panic reactions that led me here.) copied cm-11 (ovation) and some other zips (for google play and permitting foreign downloads) and ran (I don't remember since it was a weekend ago and I made so many different attempts that I just don't know which one was the first sequence).

In any case I followed the instructions and as part of the update there was a backup made of the original onto the sdcard. When I had screwed up enough I wanted to recover the backup but to my frustration the recovery told me that there were no md5s on the backup. I SAW IT creating the MD5s during the backup but the restore was also right that there were none on the backup directory (unless it's tared and maybe even gzipped into one file lacking the md5 extension). After the restore told me it could not find the md5s and aborted recovery I copied the backup from the sdcard onto my pc where it still rests.

If you could tell me how to get my backups back and this would restore even those areas that I formatted wrongly I would go from there. IF however the sdcard class 1 is the culprit and reason why there are no fingerprints I would have to assume that the backup is also faulty and therefore useless. If the nook wrote too fast to the card and there is no reread or not enough handshaking with the card going on, blocks of data may have not been written correctly resulting into all that problems.

And then ... it could be 'user error'. ;)

So please would you advise how I can go from here?

Thank you in advance

Your backup does not include the things you formatted that is causing your boot issue. So it will do no good to restore it. Did you try flashing the plain stock zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread, item 6? That should fix your issue.

CM11 to emmc

Got a strange problem, I had CM11 on an SD card and I thought I had switched off the HD+ but it re-started and loaded CM11 into my HD+ emmc card. I have no backup of the original Nook software and I am not bothered but my wireless doesn't work and I cannot get GAPPS to load. How can I sort this so that it works properly?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you somehow messed up emmc I would suggest you start clean by going to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a and use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6, followed by a factory reset with CWM. That should get you going again so you can start over.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dunkely:
So, I guess I've managed to brick my Nook HD+

I was running CM11 on SD and stock on emmc. CM11 started having issues (booting out of nowhere idle) and I was an idiot and probably formatted boot. Now, regardless of which CWM I write onto the sdcard, I cannot mount emmc nor sdcard in CWM. (I tried the 4GB image and the bootfiles with SDFormatter and manual partitioning as guided by leapinlar's stickies and the CWM provided in the CM11 thread I used.

Everything results into not being able to load cache/log etc. at the beginning booting to CWM, nor being able to mount sdcard or emmc for flashing. Sideloading results in an error at 1%. ADB Push on to \sdcard seemed to work (Yet not because there were no changes upon looking at the files)... I wasn't supposed to do this was I? I can browse the files with the shell, but emmc seems to be empty and I can't access the sdcard with it. ADB also gives out proper information about recovery/sideload when selected. The serial number? reported by ADB seems to be the default, though. (ABCDE...1234..)

Following the guide in the wiki about emmc bugs and nook hd+ seems to result into valid results, but not sure how I'm supposed to use the cut command. Or am I supposed to do something else to find if my emmc is borked?

So, I can't find any way to flash because I can't mount. Is my Nook permanently bricked?

edit: Oh, with the CWM in the CM11 thread, the CWM says Boot/BCB missing (...). Honestly I'm not sure if it started saying that after or before I might've idiotically formatted it. Could well have been before, as well.

edit 2: Noticed the cannot mount -thread later on with something that might fix my issues, going to give them a shot tomorrow.

edit 3: Right, I fixed my Nook to a functioning condition by following this post by verygreen: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44790925&postcount=67

Except push didn't work, or at least wouldn't show files in the sdcard, so I used my linux machine to copy the CM over since Windows doesn't recognize partitions apart from the first one on removable media, and then used the install from zip option in CWM. I'm still not quite sure I've bricked my emmc, but futher tinkering with another solution will have to wait till' I don't have so many PDF's and things to read on my tablet ><

You need to use CWM older than v6045 to flash that zip. You can get an older version in that same thread.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macevanscb:
I have the same problem . . . .

Hello Leapinlar. . . .

I was trying to re-install cm10.2 into my Nook HD due to Google problems.

The files I used were: cm-10.2.1-hummingbird.zip, cwm-recovery-hummingbird-2.zip and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

And my SD card had nookhd-emmc-cwm.img dd'd to it.

In recovery I did the two things I always do for a clean install: wipe data/factory reset and format /system

All three files installed without any errors, but after that reboot always puts me back to recovery.

I didn't even know about /bootdata until I read this post and have never touched it.

Did running format system wipe /bootdata??? Is this a change from older CWMs??

I guess I need a /bootdata zip too.

What do I need to PM to you???
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Did you wipe /system before or after you flashed the CM zip?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macevanscb:
Before.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:

Now I'm back to my original problem: I can't sign into Google during account setup -sigh-

I enter the correct userid and password... it grinds for a long time... and then reports: 'Can't establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer service.'

I've had nothing but problems with Google and Google Pay on both my phone (razr on Verizon) and my tablet for the past couple of weeks.

Amazingly, it was something wrong with either my cable modem or my wireless router.

I rebooted both and the Google problem went away.

This is wild as both my Macs (one wired and one wireless) had no problems whatsoever with internet connections or connecting to Google... just the tablet and the phone... to Google.

That's why it took me so long to do this... everything else was working just fine.

Someone please explain why Android loses (only to Google) and Max OS X wins with all connections????

Thank you in advance.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s0beit:
I've been getting consistent crashes with my Nook HD+ on CM11 Nightly, so I thought I'd wipe the dalvik cache as some other forum suggested, but the problem is once I got into recovery and did that, rebooted, I've been stuck in a CWM boot loop ever since.

I've never wiped the /bootdata to my knowledge, I'm not going to exclude the possibility that I may have done it by accident, but I remember specifically avoiding it due to me knowing what it's used for.

Anyway, after the original reboot battle (i rebooted without the SD card several times) I ended up trying to wipe everything (besides bootdata) and reinstall CWM/CM11/gapps and start fresh, but nope, still CWM only.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I also tried the factory images provided here but when I try to boot them from SD card it just hangs at cyanoboot screen (emmc recovery and factory plain stock)

EDIT2: So I got it to boot the HD+ Stock recovery, but there doesn't seem to be an option to install from external_sd so I'm trying to sideload while in recovery

The counters in the BCB and BootCnt files located in the /bootdata partition need to be reset -- see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444630 (the same phenom described in this post for the Nook Tablet apply to other Nook tablet models).

You can try to reset these counters by using SD-based CWM recovery to flash the flashable_fix_bootdata-ovation.zip from http://www.mediafire.com/download/yyiv6p04ej1cgf5/flashable_fix_bootdata-ovation.zip.

The flashable_fix_bootdata-ovation is throwing an assert error on 6.0.4.6, it might not on the older CWM but the issue is I can't install from an SD card with that, and I can't sideload anything either as described above.

The error is, for reference

and yes, it's a Nook HD+, so the product should be ovation ;\
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That error is because you are using that version of CWM you must use one older than v6045. You can get an SD version from my CWM thread linked in my signature. I also have a v6036 internal version that has been modified to be flashable with v6045 or newer. You can flash that to replace the internal 6046 you have and use that to flash the fix bootdata zip.

A couple of weeks ago I paid <i>around</I> $6.00 & bought this Vivitar 50-in-1 SD Card Reader from Wal-Mart. I've tried EVERYTHING that I can think of to get this thing to work & NOTHING I've tried seems to be working. I've tried plugging it into each one of my USB ports on my Windows 7 PC(Windows Updates are Current) and all that I can get my computer to do is recognize that there is a "New Device" plugged in. After my computer recognizes that a "New Device" has been plugged in, when I double-click the Vivitar Drive(F:) in "My Computer" & try to open it up, it does NOTHING. It just sits there & the hourglass will spin for a sec, then it stops. I got this card reader for the purpose of reading each of my 16gb & 32gb SD cards, separately. I've tried plugging the card reader into the computer (1.) WITH a SD Card already in it AND (2.) plugging the card reader into the computer with NOTHING in it at all, then inserting one of the SD Cards into the reader after my computer has recognized that the card reader has been plugged in. STILL..after trying BOTH of these methods, neither seems to be working. I have NO IDEA what the deal is with this crazy thing, other than the fact that it simply doesn't want to cooperate with my computer. I'm considering just taking this thing back to the store & exchanging it for a different one.. Does anyone have any idea about this? If so, thank you for your input!! I've included a few pictures of the device here for y'all.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anzzle:
Hi everyone, I've just bought a Note 10.1 refurbished but I'm having issues with the charger. When plugged it, it doesn't charge at all and if I use it, it would actually discharge although it says its charging. Sometimes the red x appears on the battery but after unplugging and blowing the port and connector a few times, it would then charge. However if I unplug it, it wouldn't charge again unless I blow it and reconnect it 2-3 times. The power brick is fine because I can plug my Galaxy Grand in to it and it charges every time. When it does charge, it charges fairly quickly. About 10% every 25-30 minutes.

Also when I connected it to my PC, it didn't even recognize the device at all. The tablet lights up and shows a red x on the battery again. I've got around syncing by using Wifi file transfer for now, do you think its a cable problem or a device problem? I've ordered an adapter than converts the 30 pin to micro USB so I can use my galaxy grands cable and hopefully it'll come soon as I want to test it before the 7 days return window is over.

I've read online that the stock cable is really bad and a 3rd party cable charges much faster, is this true?

Thanks,

Anthony
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1988:
The red X over the battery indicates that the carging is lower than 2000 mA, and if the cable is damaged in some way the charge rate can be unstable. Otherwise, the port on the device might be dirty or damaged. Try cleaning it with a plastic/wooden toothpick and/or compressed air. You can also try to clean the cable tip.

A pc usb-port will never reach 2000 mA, so a red X over the battery will always be present. Also, for the PC to recognize the 10.1 you need to have Samsung Kies installed.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anzzle:
Oh I see, so that's why it has a red X. I do have Kies Installed since I have a Galaxy Grand and sadly there is no response when I plug it into my PC. Do you think its more likely that the cable is damaged or the device port is? I might be able to lend my friends Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 cable to test tomorrow though.
