I had just finished installing Myns New Rom and Flashed the combo radios aswell, I ran Titanium Backup and installed my apps. I opened Rom Manager and said I had to flash Clockwork Mod and it updated to 3.O. I then proceeded to make a back up of the rom and then my phone went straight to boot loader, It would not reboot and would not enter recovery just reboots back into boot loader. I finally removed the sd card and rebooted after 10 mins it went back to my rom. I then tried to open my sd card on pc an nothing shows up, I tried 2 others and nothing, cannot even format. I borrowed my friends evo and went to recovery with sdcard in to format it say error can not mount and nothing. I tried within the phone, with cm6 installed and it said the sd card was blank or wrong something, (I forgot) No luck. I think it might have destroyed my sd card, Im trying to find a software that may allow me to do so any luck.
-not visible in pc
-cannot mount or format on phone or recovery mode.
-16gb Micro Sd card Sandisk class 2, bought when touch pro came out for 110 from bestbuy (got 100 back from Htc Touch return so really only 10)
-Had partitoned earlier to run mikifroyo app2sd, unpartioned by formatting.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Ok when I Insert My SD card it just boots to loading and reboots over and over again. Any ideas?

try looking in the forums for the lastet recovery in .zip format.
Copy it to the root of the sd card. (if you think that you have an issue with the SD card, then take a fresh SD that is formatted to Fat32. Make sure it is not NTFS. If you formatted on the Mac, make sure the partition format is MBR and not GUID, if you don't know how to do this, I can explain further. The easiest way would be to make sure that you do it on a windows machine)
Start your phone, and hopefully it will install the recovery automatically.
After you install the recovery, and get your phone booted into android, you can locate a pre-rooted rom of your choice in the forums here or at the "other" place if you prefer.
You can read more about it in this other section of the forum. The information below is from that forum, in case you can't find it or are too lazy to search.

Thanks, I was planning to do this but Im more concerened about my sd card, The phone boots well with out the sd card now, So I was planning to install the zip later. Thanks though I really appreciate the help and thoroughness of your answer which is great. But do you by anychance know what I can to do to recover the card back?

Hello ! Yesterday I installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13782793&highlight=microsd#post13782793 on my SGS, and I have a big problem ! I can not acces my external microsd card. What I should do ?
I am using same rom and I am able to access it.
Just take out sd card, switchoff, take out battery insert sd card again,and battery
Reboot.
That should work, if not
Install newer version 1.6.10

Is not working at all(reboot=not, update=nothing changed)... When i connect the cellphone to pc I see only the phone storage and the sdcard storage not.. I do not know what to do
Same problem. Card is readable on PC. Won't read in MIUI anymore. Even formatting the card won't help. External_SD-map is already there but none of the files on the ExtSD are there.
I'm guessing you came from a gingerbread rom and didn't flash the froyo bootloaders. Alternatively, look under sdcard/external_sd

+1 you need froyo bootloader. I had the same issue. Resolved by flashing froyo and reinstalling MIUI.

I installed this ROM but there are a lot of bugs, camera stop working after you take picture, the music player need to be refreshed every time, ringtone changer problem etc etc... It's a beautiful ROM but with those bugs isn't worth..
I've had this problem too. I've resolved it installing a Froyo Stock rom with odin and after making exactly this like is in the Miui thread:
0: Be sure that you're based on a Froyo FW! CRUCIAL.
1: Load these files:
a) galaxy-efsbackup.zip / Mirror
b) cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar / Mirror
c) MIUI MCGv5.3 / Mirror
d) speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar / Mirror
(thanks to creative59 for mirrors!)
2: Copy all files except:
speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar & cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar
3: Flash speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar via Odin, wait for reboot and after that shutdown
4: Start via 3-button-combo in recovery mode and install galaxys-efsbackup.zip
5: Pull out battery and in again, start via 3-button-combo via download mode and flash cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar via Odin BUT DON'T check repartition and auto reboot
6: Pull out the USB cable and start (in download mode) with 3-button-combo in recovery mode (waiting until samsung logo appears)
7: Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache
8: Flash MIUI MCGv5.3.

Note thar I don't have the SD card inserted on the phone during this procedure. I've put the SD card after the first boot (with Miui rom) on the phone and reboot the SGS to work. And to work you will need a folder called "external_sd" (without "") on the SGS internal SD. Make shure that you have this folder when you insert the external SD card.
I encountered this problem too, I had froyo before miui. Used miui a while, suddenly external sd didn't work. I tried everything. Managed to fix it this way:
1. Make sure external_sd folder is on sdcard, if not, make one and name it that.
2. Take out sd card
3. Shut it off
4. Battery out (I tried without taking the battery out, doesn't work, take it out)
5. While battery is out, put ext sd in
6. Turn it on
Probably it will work, if not, do it again, and instead of step 6, boot into recovery.
Format system and cache. Reflash whichever rom you were on. If this didn't work, and you really were on froyo before flashing, well, the sd might be broken, your card reader in the phone might be broken, or you might need to double check the froyo base you used.
when I connect the phone with pc,the pc dosen't recognise the sd card, do you have any solution for this, guys ?
sdcard is there but does not work
Oops, double post... sorry
sdcard is there but does not work
I can access my ext sdcard via file explorer but it says that it's not supported by a2sd+ I got the same problem with Cyanogen mod. I came from froyo 2.2.1 flashed clockworkmod 2 then installed 2.2 version of miui after that I flashed 3.0. So I guess I did nothing wrong. I followed the instructions on the miui website.
Can't find a single solution that fixes my problem. Every attempt ( also those here ) did not work so far. Also if I install an app it forecloses on opening. Maybe this has something to do with a2sd not working properly. for instance I can't install whatsapp it forecloses after I put in my phone number and screenname.
Hi......with a file explorer create a folder in: mnt/sdcard/external_sd
create another folder in: /sdcard/external_sd
reboot and miui see the Ext SD in file explorer but A2SD don't work for it

good afternoon
I have an ACER Iconia Tab to 500 HC 3.2 and using the second method of this post (Revert OTA 3.2 back to 3.0.1) and gets the android logo and a yellow triangle, someone might say it is?
Or if someone knows how to connect this tablet in Windows XP
thanks
Did you remember to extract the zip file that was in that post? The file that is to be extracted is update_not_stable.zip. Once you extract that, there should be a file that is called "update.zip". Make sure that is the file that is on your external SD card.
yes, I put the update.zip on the microsd and also have put the update.zip for content if that, but it works.
thanks
So does that mean you got it to work? I'm not sure if I fully understand your last post.
my English is disastrous to use a translator to express myself. Did not mean that workers but does not perform the recovery
Could you possibly outline the steps your performed so far, and perhaps I or someone more knowledgeable than I can offer better assistance.
I followed the steps are:
1 - I downloaded the file.
2 - I've extracted and copied to the microsd (update.zip) formatted to fat32
3 - I turned on the Iconium and has begun "erasing cache beforing SD update... booting recovery kernel image"
4 - android robot appears with a band and then carrying out erde a triangle with an exclamation in the middle of the icon.
Hmmmmm, I can't see anything that jumps out at me as being some wrong.
The update.zip is still zipped right? You right clicked on "downgrade_not_stable", extracted that, removed update.zip and out that file (which will be unzipped) into the root of your external SD card.
There is also the off chance that the file you downloaded got corrupted for whatever reason. If it won't work perhaps you can try to download it again and follow the steps.
hello,
i have the same problem. I did the same : unzipped, put on the external sdcard the file and I have the logo of the bot with the yellow triangle..
I downloaded again and again, restart from the beginning and I can't downgrade.
someone has an idea why it doesn't work ?
Thanks
same issue with mine... not too sure why i'm getting the error as I've been able to do things with the SD card before, so I don't think its an SD card problem.
Not SD problem
I already tried with differentes SD cards. They all work, but unable to start the downgrading !!
Maybe the file is not compatible with my tablet. How can we check ?

What tab to you have? The A500?
Make sure that it is the file "update.zip" that is on your sd card. Make sure this update.zip is still a zipped file.
Other than that, I don't know what could be wrong. I did the downgrade with no issues.
Thanks for the answer.
My tablet is an iconia A500.
I unzipped the file downloaded, that gave an update.zip. I put it on the SD card. The tablet recognized the file but stop just after find it.
I have no idea whatelse to do.
TRy and try again.
Finally it worked !!!
It was a download problem in fact for me.
I hope it can help.
maybe i'll try downloading on another computer (this one has XP?) and see if that makes a lick of difference. this is getting frustrating.
Still no go. Even did everything just on the iconia and still get the yield sign when trying to recover during boot.
Hi , I did it right now and it worked , installed iconiaroot and CWM and all went fine, but I have another problem now :
external miniSD can't be seen anymore and I'm not able to install any custom rom . If I go to recovery and pushing "install zip from" : it always goes to E: directory sdcard (and it 's not found)
Is there anyone that can help me ?

I'm using a recently nightly build of CM7.
I really love how I have it set-up, but if I don't have anyway to ever back it up my results are effortless.
How can I fix this situation without removal of the system. anyone, please?
First of all, have you done a nandroid backup in CWM? If so you can definitely recover.
Second it looks like your boot file is corrupted, always sending you to recover rather than a normal boot. What boot setup are you using?

You have installed your ROM to SD. There is no CWM recovery on SD installs. You cannot do a nandroid backup with the SD recovery.
See my post here for an explanation of the difference between emmc installs and SD installs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25354258
However, there is a way to back it up. Keep reading further down in my post.

Take the card out and put in your PC. It will see the boot partition and you can copy the files there.

Hmm.. somehow I got it doing that. I of course tried that before and only the two partitions were loading. This time I was messing with it and clicking the multi sd mount widget and somehow the boot drive came up and I transferred the files on there.
So now I can do a nandroid backup as usual? Or sense it's an (Alt) instead of a recovery thing must it be different?
I'll try some things in the mean time..
Okay, so I have to boot into recovery and choose alternative and do it manually.
Can't do it with Rom Manager/Rom Tool Kit. Tried and it did the same error as in the OP.
Off to try now.
This is really strange though.
I've been messing with Nooks for a while and always used rom manager and the recovery console just fine.. but i've always ever done dual sd boots.This is my first time really doing a single one.
I'm in the boot menu (encore u-boot menu by j4mm3r), 1.2 port + extras.
It's been at
'Booting. One Moment'..." for at least a minute. Assuming it's frozen itself..
edit: Yeah, the Alt files didn't work.. I reset and pressed the N button, went to alternate and SD card. Nothing.
Reset it and it works as usual, but still no ability to backup..

Do not use ROM Manager with the verygreen SD installation. It does not work. Use the boot menu to boot into the alternate. Hold the n key while booting. Choose sd, alt.
Edit: you said two partitions showed up. Did you physically take the card out and insert into a card reader in your PC? It should see just one drive. Make sure those two files are there or it will hang when you choose it in the boot menu. I suspect you put the files on emmc boot since you used that strange program to do it.

No,
it's something with the multi mount sd app widget.
I hook mini usb to usb.
then hit the widget.
and JUST the boot partition comes up.
It says something about disk F: is not formatted correctly as well.
Just plugging it in without the multi mount app the outward sd card partition and the nook color come up, just those two.
And can't believe I didn't think to take the mini SD out and use an adapter. I'll try it again with that.
You're right I did mess something up with my EMMC.
Before I had it on a stock nook.
Now it goes to the cyanomod thing.
I took the miniSD card out, plugged it in for power and it turned on.
Went to that, had a bunch of force closed issues nothing worked, dry and empty, etc.
Any suggestions?
I'm gonna check out the miniSD card partitions now and try to get something going with that.

There are many threads here that will tell you how to restore stock to emmc. Search for them.
But to get the SD working, do what I said. And I would suggest getting rid of that mount program so you don't mess it up again.
Edit: The problem with those mount programs is, if you mount the wrong partition, windows can only read fat partitions and will ask you to format. System and data are ext4 which windows cannot read.

Thanks a bunch.
In ubuntu once the sd card is inserted all 4 partititions automatically came up so I was able to copy and paste the Alt images.
Am backing up right now
And yeah getting the emmc back to stop np.
One thing i'm confused about.. you're saying one cannot update rom's if booting from an SD card?
also, i assume all in eed to do to make a back-up on my hard drive or usb (so its not just inclusive to the minisd), i can just root browser into mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and and create a zip of the 2012.5.5.etc.etc.etc. made folder and trnasfer it onto external device? If needed all I would need to do is a transfer back?

Yes you can update the ROM. Just not with CWM. You place the update-...zip in the boot partition of the SD and then using the boot menu (hold n during boot) select SD and recovery. The script in the boot partition will install the ROM for you. You need to read the first post in the agnostic image thread. It tells you all this.
On the second question, you can do it that way, but the files are already compressed there so just copy the folder to your PC to archive them.
is it okay to just boot into alternative (power + vol up/down) instead of going through the manual booting with the 'N' on start-up?

Yes. I didn't know you could do it that way. See, you taught me something. LOL. As long as you are getting into the 3.0.2.8 CWM recovery it's OK.

Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk.
Below is a procedure that can be used to install amaces' LN14.1 (ref: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269) internally on a Nook HD+ :
Download sdcard-reco-ovation.img.xz from amaces' repo https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778, unzip it (using e.g. 7-zip) and use win32diskimager to write the unzipped content sdcard-reco-ovation.img to a SD card.
Download and copy to the same SD card:
amaces' flashable TWRP zip file, e.g., twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip ( https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778)
amaces' flashable LN14.1 ROM zip file, e.g., lnos_ovation-ota-NMF26Q.170104.zip from https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778
the flashable zip file of Gapps' corresponding pico package open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-2017[mmdd].zip from http://opengapps.org/
Turn off the Nook, insert the SD card, and boot the Nook from its power-off state.
[Optional] Make a backup of your stock ROM & Apps: to backup onto the Bootable Recovery SD card you'd need to make the boot partition on the SD card large enough to hold the backup of your stock ROM and its Apps -- see my post #7 below.
Select "wipe data & factory reset".
Select "install zip from SD card" and install TWRP recovery zip file.
Select "install zip from SD card" and install LN14.1 zip file.
Select "install zip from SD card" and install Gapps zip file.
Remove SD card and select reboot.
Once the HD+ completes boot-up (be patient as the post-installation initial boot would take 3-5 min), set up the wifi connectivity and your google account info.
If you run into problems during initial setup:
- absence of WiFi network setup step: see this post
- setup process crashes (as have been reported with some combos of ROM and GApps build versions): retry the clean install process with the sequence of steps # 5, #7 & #9 (i.e., skipping over step #8 flashing GApps) and complete the initial setup, then reboot into TWRP to flash GApps; see also https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72104906&postcount=37 for solution for other setup crash causes.
To enable "Root", see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72185622&postcount=1915.
Notes
- This procedure can also be used to install amaces' AOSP7.1 ROM (instead of his LN14.1 ROM).
- If your HD+ is currently running CM11/12/13, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-nook-hd-internal-emmc-t3562818 for an alternate procedure which does not require use of a SD card.
Please post any comment/question on the features or performance of AOSP & LN ROM builds on the Developer's thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269.
I used these steps and can confirm that it works. I came from stock ROM. I understand that there's a risk since I did not do a original ROM backup.
So far, I am impressed by the work that have gone in to make it happened from so many volunteers.

Good point! Thx
I did this on my Nook HD yesterday. Everything seemed to go correct, however my tablet will not power off. If I power off it immediately restarts. I saw a similar problem mentioned with another build but can't seem to find the thread that was referenced.
edit: I found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269/page166 which implies this is a known problem.
Holding the power button beyond the shutdown screen worked! The tablet powered off and stays off. Phew.
Can I take a moment to say thank you. I have owned a Nook HD and Nook HD+ for almost four years. I am not very technical but did do some modding of them to enable unknown sources, the very basic you could do. The tablets were really sluggish with the original OS but we muddled through. Last week the Nook HD froze at the boot screen and the only way to resolve was a factory reset. I figured the time was right to do something more permanent and followed your instructions.
The only issue I had was I was not able to do a backup. I used an 8 GB SD card. When I used win32diskimager to write the unzipped content sdcard-reco-ovation.img to the SD card for some reason the size of the card changed to ~900 MB. So the SD card didn't have enough space for the OS backup. I redid the card several times but it kept happening. Not sure if you know what I did wrong, but I hope its moot since I hope to never to have to go back to the Nook OS.
Very sorry for the long message, but I am excited with the prospect of having a tablet we can actually use. I plan to do this to my HD+ but that one is still working and has a ton of content that I know will be lost. But I think I have to do it.

Bootable Recovery SD card images (such as Amaces' image in this case) are usually intentionally made just large enough for users to add necessary flashable zip files for ROM/GApps/Recovery yet small enough to fit in the smaller size cards a user might happen to have laying around. It's possible but more tedious (and thus potentially error-prone) to create a Bootable Recovery SD card with custom size of up to 16GB for the boot-partition -- I'll post a short guide for this.
Process for Creating a Bootable Recovery SD card for Nook HD+
[Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk].
Below is the process for creating a Bootable Recovery SD card for flashing ROM/GApps/Recovery on a Nook HD+:
Using a disk partition tool (such as MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) create on a SD card a Primary FAT32 partition of size no larger than 16GB, and set the partition ID type for the partition to 0x0C FAT32 LBA and set its Active flag. Once this is done, the partition should appear as a (read/write accessible) drive under Windows.
Use an archive file manager such as 7-zip and extract the .img file from amaces' sdcard-reco-ovation.img.xz ( https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778 )
Use the archive file manager to extract the files from the .img file and copy them to the SD card: first MLO, then the rest of the files u-boot.bin, uImage, kernel, ramdisk, ramdisk.cwm, ramdisk.stock, and the folder OLD.
Copy to the SD card the flashable zip files for the ROM/GApps/Recovery/etc. that you'd want to install.

The most common symptoms of failed SD boot and their likely causes are:
The HD+ boots straight to stock -- most likely the boot partition's type and/or flag are not correctly set, or the NT cannot find the MLO in the boot partition (make sure that MLO is the very first file to be copied to the freshly made /boot partition).
If the HD+ consistently boots straight to stock in spite of a valid /boot partition and boot files, it's possible that the tablet is one of those HD+ units that have difficulty booting of SD cards, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288688 for more info and potential remedies.
The HD+ screen stays dark for seemingly a long time then eventually boots to stock -- most likely the MLO or u-boot.bin are corrupted. I have had this happen to me a few times in the process of extracting them from archive zip files.
The boot partition size is too large -- for some reason the HD+ cannot boot on boot partition of size larger than 16GB.
Fantastic write up.
Everything went flawlessly.
I notice that my device is no longer rooted. Is there a relatively quick way to re-root now that I've completed all the steps in your original post?
Thanks for such a well written guide!!

Root is built into this ROM and can be enabled in Settings->"Developer Options", but because of a current bug you'd need to enable it, then disable it, then re-enable it again.

Let's just say that you effin rock!!
:highfive:
Problem solved.
Sorry, double post........
After getting root access as described above in post #9, I installed SuperSU and SuperSU Pro from Play.
Once the binary updated and I rebooted, I was stuck in a bootloop. I had to reflash the entire process to get the HD+ operational again.
Is this normal? Did I miss something? Does SuperSU not work with this ROM?
I see that the ROM has "Privacy Guard" which looks to be a form of superuser. Ti backup isn't happy with the stock SU and would prefer I install SuperSU. I would love to install SuperSU but don't want to reflash from scratch again.
Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe the "Manage root access" menu in Settings->"Developer options" is meant to eliminate the need for root-access-management apps.

I don't see that option after flashing aosp_ovation-ota-NOF26W.170226.zip
Do I need to reflash, and let CWM fix for root?

Did you not see "Manage root access" under Settings->"Developer options", or not see "Developer options" itself?

Apparently "Manage root access" is only available on LN ROM.
For AOSP ROM it looks like you still need to install SuperSU, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71063379&postcount=1647.
Thank you for the work on this. Mine is HD Plus.. Only problem I'm having after upgrade is the unit ignores "Power off" and seems to turn itself on after about 30 seconds of black screen and boots back up. Battery is at 100%, and I disconnected the USB cable, nothing is connected. Anyone else seen this?

I am running lnos_ovation-ota-NOF26W.170226 and have not seen this problem with this build as well as the previous build.
Did you do a "wipe /data & factory reset" before flashing the ROM/GApps zip files?
Also, this thread which has a much larger set of reader might be a better place to post and get help with questions like yours.

I did it on two systems, one is 16GB the other 32GB. The one that keeps turning back on was one was upgraded from CM11 (32GB), the other was virgin Nook OS . Yes, I did wipe /data and factory reset, formatted cache, etc.
