Format your sd card to FAT 32 and perform a task 29 on your phone. Re install the preferred bootloader and cwm and try again.

i did it. about 6 times. all proces.

first make sure your using the correct 5.0.2.6 recovery for hd2
and that your flash image is big enough
copy the rom.zip ( do not unpack) to your sdcard, either through CWR mounted to usb, or use a cardreader

i am using HD2 Toolkit. Never been any problems. by cardreader or either through CWR , can't install. only messege - bad, error. every rom!! The sd is formated. as usually. i don't know what's happend:/

I'm not a rookie in flashing. it is not ordinary error. it looks like the zip file are corrupted when i am trying to install them by the CWR. After the error when i try to open it the zip file on my computer by the win rar, it tells me that, the zip is corrupted. when i download it the rom the zip was good, cause i check it.
ps. sorry for english

it is no matter what rom i want to install. I always have this messege - "e:can't open /sdcard/roms_name.zip
(bad)
installation aborted
Zip file is good before put him to sdcard. after a press choose zip from sdcard the zip file is corrupted. Maybe something with CWR?;/

Eliminate all the possibilities, if you're using MAGLDR switch over to cLK and vice-versa, and then try again.

u are ****ing awesome sir

Heh, I know the reason why it is happening.
When you are doing the ext partition through CWM, the whole reserved space to this partition is corrupted. That's why there is an error messege when i'm trying to install zip rom. The file is corrupted immediately, and you can't even unpack him in windows, or linux.
Right now I am using the GParted. There is no more errors, after I did the partitions using this program
ufff
Thx 4 help anyway

[Q] Restoring a CWM v5 backup on HD2

Hi,
I without much thinking and reading, searched the keyword "backup" on the play store, installed the first application I found (nandroid) and made a backup of my OS and wiped everything afterwards because I had to get my display replaced after the digitizer started not responding.
But after I got my phone back I realized that I can only flash CWM 3x on HD2 while the backup that nandroid created was for cwm5.
So, I have a backup made for cwm5. Any suggestions on how can I restore this on a hd2?
thanks in advance

Did you try to simply restore the backup?

If you can flash v3 you can flash v5 the same way.

Well, that's what I thought, but I can't. It won't let me. CWM3 keeps giving the file not found error, and I thought the fact that it's cwm3 is must be the reason why. I'm confused now.

I get into the ad recovery section in magldr, cwm opens, I then choose the backup restore section, it checks my sd card and finds the backup I made, no problem up to this point, I choose the backup I want to restore, the process starts, and then I get the file not found errors, but everything's there in the sd card, I checked.
The errors are like this:
system.img not found. Skipping restore of /system.
data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data.
etc. etc.

eventually it skips everything and restores nothing.

OK, no problem. You misunderstood what I said.
Go to AD Recovery and CWM v3 will open, correct?
Do NOT select /BACKUPRESTORE!
Select INSTALL FROM SD CARD
Of course, you need to have a copy of CWM Recovery v5 on your SD Card - if you do not have it or you have an older v5 download this file and place it on your sd card before you start.
After you install that file reboot and you will have CWM Recovery v5.
Does it make more sense now?

Well now have less possible issues. This is good.
The error shows you had a problem extracting the image from the zip. That suggests a bad zip or a bad sd card. Have you tried to download another copy of the zip file?
How big is your recovery partition? To flash that recovery you should have 5 MB, 8 if you might want to try other recovery apps later.
How was your device partitioned? Did you use DAF.EXE? If yes, take a look at the flash.cfg file, the line for recovery. If it has "filesize" (or something like it) instead of a number that partition was created to match last image flashed. The word filesize should read 8 MB or at least 5 mb.
If using the hd2 toolkit there should also be a flash.cfg file someplace.
Check that zip file first, however. I can give you a known good recovery and DAF.EXE but you will have to set the correct partition sizes for what you need.

[Q] Nook Color won't boot without SD Card

I know there is a lot of information out here about the nook color not being able to boot but none of it seems to fix this issue. I was trying to upgrade my nook from cyanogenmod 7.2 to cyanogenmod 10.2. I used Rom Manager on the device and downloaded the new ROM. Everything was fine until I told it to install. The nook went to reboot and I was presented with a black screen. I couldn't get it to do anything and I thought it was dead forever. I then installed a bootable ROM on my SD card and was able to get it to boot from the SD card. I have attempted to install several different versions onto the EMMC but none will boot. When I reboot the nook it just goes to a black screen and sits there, even with the SD card in it. This is the only sequence that allows me to get my nook color to boot from an sd card:
1) Hold the "n" and power buttons for 30 seconds (I think this forces it to power down)
2) Push and hold power button for a few seconds.
If I do this with a bootable SD card installed the nook boots the SD card. If I do this without the SD card installed I just get a black screen. I have tried many things from many threads here. I have tried fixing partitions, installing new ROMS and other things but nothing seems to work. I know the nook is not bricked because I can boot it from the SD card. I think the boot partition may be the issue. When I am booted from the SD card I can mount all partitions except "/boot". Should I be able to mount this partition?
I just need to know how to get my nook back to a state where it will boot without the SD card inserted. I know how to create a bootable SD card and install zips.
Very frustrated at this point, guidance that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.

You said you tried fixing partitions. How did you do that and what were the results? Were you using my partition repair zips from my partition repair thread linked in my signature?
And ROM Manager assumes you have a correct version of CWM installed on internal memory. It is best not to use that tool. It is way outdated. It is best to install ROMs manually with CWM.

Yes I have done 2 out of the 3 zips you have on your post. 1) NookColor-emmc-repair-partitions-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip and 2)NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip. I did not do the partition 2 zip as it looked like it may cause more problems. However, I'm not sure it could get much worse.
Today I ran the RecoveryFix.zip from this post --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958748
No Help. Same issue, I reboot and nothing but a black screen. I have to do the 2 steps I described in my original post to get the SD card to boot. Is there a way I can see what is on the nook partitions? These tools allow me to copy zip files but there is nothing that allows me to look around on the nooks internal partitions. What does the nook need to boot without the SD card. It seems there must be something partially working because I can get the SD card to boot...
Thanks I advance for your help.

Need to fix internal hard drive...
Ok, so now I'm pretty sure it's just my internal memory that is screwed up. I installed CM 7.2 on an SD card and now my nook color is running from the SD card. But if I take the SD card out and try to reboot all I get is a black screen(Not even a flash or anything when hitting the power button). So right not the only thing my nook can do is boot from the SD card.
How can I fix the internal memory??

Try flashing the repair partition 2 zip. It has protections built in to prevent further damage.
Then go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and return to stock via item A15. Be sure to flash the format zip listed there too. Then you should be able to start over.

Ok, I think I may have totally screwed this nook up. I found some other repartition//format zips that I ran trying to fix the problem. Now I can't even run from the SD card. It tries to boot but I get an error and it fails. I tried to run your repairpartition2.zip file but it did not work. This is the output:

I've also noticed that it cannot mount any of the partitions from the booted SD card any more. I'm seeing

I think one of the other .zips I ran screwed things up even more. Am I now screwed up past the point of no return? I have very good unix knowledge but very little android knowledge. Is there anything I can do with the adb utility to help here.
Thanks for all your suggestions so far. It seems like I need to redo this thing from scratch and need some guidance on how to do it.
More Info: Now when booted from SD card I cannot mount "/boot", "/system", "/data", "/emmc" or "/cache" partitions. I wish I could get a shell and look around on the rom...

That error message says your factory partition is gone and it contained info there that is vital and un-retreivable. You might be able to rebuild your partitions but some ROMs will never run without that backup info from /factory (partition 3). You just got too aggressive with your partition repairs.
