Hi Guys,
After a few days hacking my nook, I tried the new market for the nook, and the market wouldn't work. I did have a backup but I really wanted to get the new one working. After a few days of trial and error, (Changing permissons, reinstalling, etc.) I found this script on NookDevs-http://nookdevs.com/Enable_the_Android_Market, and wanted to see if this would get me back to stock+root with market and everything. It didn't. My nook won't boot up anymore. It gets stuck on where it has the big gray N and it says Contains Reader Mobile Technology by Adobe at the bottom. I have clockworkmod installed, so I can't take it back to the store. Any help uninstalling clockworkmod or making it boot would be appreciated. I really would hate it if I wasted money on this thing.
PS-I am on update 1.01, and adb is semi-working. I'm sure I could get it to work if I played around.
Bump...
Sure would appreciate if someone helped.
I haven't had to do it but its possible to reset it to factory. Search for "reset" in this board. Something about 8 failed boots resets it to stock.

Clockwork Mod Recovery
I have Clockworkmod Recovery installed. I tried the eight failed boots. It just takes me to the recovery.
Thanks for trying to help though. Appreciated.

I used Nookie Froyo to boot and get my device back to usable when it was looping like no other.
Got Nookie Froyo working, but I can't seem to find a way to remove Clockworkmod or restore the system from there. If I removed clockworkmod, I could take it back to the store and exchange it, but restoring it to factory would be even better because I wouldn't have to take it back. I took back my broken Nook charger before, and the guy wanted me buy a new one.

I don't think you can (yet). That's why they said don't use the in-work version until it's finished, unless you're ok with not being able to restore.
Well, I suppose I shouldn't, but I really wanted to be ready when the ROMS came out. Is there any way I can remove clockworkmod? I wish I hadn't installed that now. I hope I'm not screwed.
Ok so I have totally messed my brand new device, this is second day I have had it. I got it yesterday and first thing I did was install DeeperBlues HC v4 on my eMMC. It was easy. I had to use Autonooter first. I was on 1.0.1. Well after playing with it all night. I started to not like the functioning of apps on the platform. They were great but was in my opinion, no greater than when it was just rooted. So I decided to bring it back to stock. I accidently placed wrong sd card in it, the one with Autonooter on it. Now when it boots up it says Loading.... then I get the word ANDROID in lower left had side of screen in landscape. I am a noob when it comes to this. Now I flash and mess with my phones rom and themes and kernels all the time kind of a junkie, but this is no walk in the park.
Please can someone help me.

I think you rooted your Nook which could be a fine thing. If that's not what you want, getting it back to stock is very easy.
Here's a link: http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
The tricky part is to get the timing right so that you get the 8 failed boots (that took me a while). If it looks like it's about to boot up up, hold down the power button till it goes off (at least I think that's what I did). If you have adb installed (or install it) you can get around that.

Is this going to help me. My original firmware was 1.0.1.
Just grab the CWR 1.1 Recovery image from the development forum. Burn that onto an SD Card and reboot. Wipe data boot system cache and flash. done.
Find rootpack in dev section, write that to sd card, add the flashable restore to stock zip from samuelhalffs restore to stock thread in the dev section to your sdcard, boot to sdcard with the rootpack on it, flash the restore to stock zip after formatting system and data. Wala, fixed! All info can be found in my dummies guide to my nook won't boot a few threads down.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. This worked. I now have my Nook back. Thanks.

Is it possible to wipe webos completely off the touchpad and just have CM9. I don't want to have duo boot. i want to start my touchpad and have it boot straight to CM9. Thanks,
No, the android builds need webos to boot properly. And this has been asked many times before.

So nothing changed with CM9? I don't know how much you know of this, but I was curious as well. Especially when they said that a single-boot option was coming "soon". That was when CM9 A.0 got dropped. Honestly mboot is just a trashy middleman and I'd like to remove all of this crap if possible.
You can change the timeout of moboot to 1 second (not sure if 0). The cyboot package in preware can change it, or I'm sure there are some adb commands to change it. webOS takes very little space. And without hardware video decoding space shouldn't be a concern.
I like having a fall back OS. Plenty of times installing a ROM that doesn't remove the old ROMs moboot entry I have been stuck with boot failures on everything, and the only way I know to fix that is in webOS.
I honestly cannot think of a legitimate reason for this. A 5 second delay is hardly a burden, and whatever space is left over after plenty of webOS apps has always been way more than enough for me.

You know, I may have made that up. I swear they said something, but all I could find was that a tri-boot was coming "soon". My bad. Honestly, it's not that I'm worried about space, I just have an OCD for throwing out the trash. I'm like the opposite of a hoarder. So, if I'm not using it, at all, might as well get rid of it. I like the idea of just running a 100% Android, no filler. I don't need a camera, and I don't need skype. I'm not using Netflix at the moment, and I can't remember the last time I booted webOS for anything. Why have it, you know?
I get that. I'm the same way about apps, emails, icons on my desktop etc.
I used webOS again today. Had classicnerd installed, and went to install the KSM. KSM gave boot failure in moboot, and classicnerd gave boot loop. I had to delete the uImage for both (using internalzpro in webOS), wipe data, cache, dalvik, and install again to get it working. This seems to happen to me every time I go from one ROM to a different one. And I do that weekly as everything gets updated. Maybe its because I have TWRP and CWM installed, so the boot space is full ... I don't know. But if I can't boot into android and can't use adb, so webOS is the only option. Maybe I should webOS doctor the device back to stock and start over.

I don't ever actually use webOS as anything other then a default recovery system (and never have used it!)
I recommend rebooting into the webOS recovery and using ACMEUninstaller, then put your new files back on the SD card and reinstall CM9. Unless something is very messed up with the webOS partition itself (which would be very uncommon) I have found webOS doctor is generally not needed.
Initially I wanted to only have CM7/9 on my touchpad, but after using it for a while I have found quite a few occasions where I have needed to just start over with problems from android. WebOS has been a nice fallback for getting in and out of recovery and seeing how it uses almost no space I came to the conclusion that even if it is possible to remove it, it acts almost like a factory recovery for android simply by being there.

Internalzpro in webOS (preware package) enable master mode in settings, navigate to /boot/ and delete the offending uImage.[name] files. As I said previously this function is the only reason I ever blog into webOS. You can also rename the moboot entries by renaming the file's extension.
Or ... you can try the commands in a terminal emulator right on the device.

Hey guys,
I am unfortunatly selling my HP TouchPad on eBay. I have both CM9 (an early build, haven't updated it in a while) and WebOS.
My question is, can I factory reset both Android and WebOS without losing the dual boot operating systems? I of course want to wipe all data before I ship it to the buyer. I want a clean Android and clean WebOS.
Thanks for any help, appreciated!
EDIT: Was able to delete data from Android using ClockWorkMod. Now how do I go about doing so in WebOS?
In webos click the aroow on right side of bottom dock, then device info, then reset options. Unless someone can offer a better way (I am pretty new to touchpad.)
To be completely sure you get all of your info off the TouchPad, I would use the webOS doctor. I havent done this since installing CM9 on mine, but I'm pretty sure the webOS doctor wipes Android off as well but I'm not sure about the partition itself. But if you are wanting to sell your TouchPad with Android on it, I would guess just use the webOS doctor and then install Android again. Be sure to format the SD card too. Probably before Doctoring.
P.S. This is just what I would do, not necessarily the method that HAS to be done.
Webos doctor wont remove Android.All u would have to do would be ACMEInstall moboot and cwm, Android would still be there with all your details.
I would do a factory reset inWebos and sd wipe.
then the same in Android an flash the latest CM9 Nightly and make sure there are no nandroid backups in recovery folder.
Wanted to bring this back alive...... I'm in the process of hopefully selling my TP and am running into the same problems. I want to sell it as dual booted with WebOS and Android. I cannot find the ACMEuninstaller nor do I want to lose the Android portion.
My question is, if I install a new Android ROM then boot into WebOS and do the factory reset through the setting menu. Would that bring me to stock as can be without adding any accounts to either OS thus being able to sell dual booted with none of my information? I have a backup of my current ROM and set up in case anything happens and will be deleted once everything goes through and is set up.
Please any thoughts, ideas or worst case scenario a link to the ACMEuninstaller would be of great help. Thanks in advance

I just opened my Nook just now, I set it up thinking it was harmless. Unfortunately, just as I went to go root...I saw that there was a break or something? Does anything work on it now or do I need to play the waiting game again?
I don't know about the HD but there is a root for 2.0.5 that can be mod via CWM, and since this modified CWM is only working for HD+ you probably have to wait. Hopefully somebody will make a modified CWM for the the HD soon that's compatible. The current CWM for HD is meant for the CM10 which write changes to the sd card. So, yes you have to wait, unless you got the HD+ and not HD.

I'm more curious about just getting the google play store on it. That root?
Even for Nook HD, not HD+, your probably doesn't come with 2.0.5 out of the box. If you want GAPPS that much, and doesn't need to use Nook store yet, you can try to force yourself back to older firmware and then you can skip OOBE and then apply all-in-one mod. This should work for HD as well as HD+.
Damnit
Had Root working splendidly on 2.0.4 then Nook HD made a weird ring noise and said there was an update. I didn't want it and said no, but there it was after turning it off and back on again a few hours later after fiddling with GAPPS. I don't really want to factory reset, and have been searching for a way to reroot without bringing back to to previous version. So far it looks as though the directory just won't get made for some reason or another. On the plus side 2.0.5 does get rid of all those pesky multiple copies of every media file you have (but really on have one copy of)

Right now it's only for HD+.
Just for kicks, can I ask why the HD+ has a working root and not the HD? Shouldn't it be the same thing since it's basically the same device and firmware?
I really hope the root for 2.0.5 on the HD is out soon. I'm not in any way a developer, so I am at the mercy of this fabulous forum. I just want the Play store and GAPPS. I'm not one of those who bought it just to put CM or something on it (as there seems to be many like that here). If I just wanted the Android experience, I would have bought a Nexus 7. However, I wanted a 7" e-reader that I thought I might add GAPPS to at some point. My iPad (or any 10" screen) is too big to read on enjoyably, IMHO. I can only hope that a lot of devs got this nice device for Christmas and will want to root it ASAP. Anyway, this post is now officially all over the place, so I'll stop the ranting. Merry Christmas to all!
I just joined this board to ask virtually the same thing and have the same opinion as you. I'm not a developer! And as a primarily iPhone/Apple user am pretty in the dark about rooting/sideloading/CM10 etc. I just bought a Nook assuming I'd either A. get Jellybean on it somehow B. be able to at least access the play store or even C. be content with the stock Nook experience. I think C would be the case if it had ANY games/apps. It's truly a worthless app marketplace.

The answer to both past users is the all-in-one root does work on the HD (for versions 2.0.4 and older). The reason my CWM root (which works on all versions) does not work yet on the HD is there is not a working stock CWM yet (it has different booting files). But there will be soon.

Hey, guys noob here...Not too familiar with the Android platform...Im use to jailbreaking/unlocking Apple products....My question is, when I first powered up the HD, there was a critical update was that an update to a newer firmware for B&N? Is it possible to restore the HD back the firmware it came with ...All input with be greatly appreciated...Thanks
Leapinlar and bokbokan have released a root method that works for the HD on 2.0.5 now. It requires burning CWM to an sdcard and booting off the sdcard though. Check out leapinlar's thread.

At this point it's possible to restore the HD back a few different ways. The Nook comes with a backup of the out of the box ROM that can be restored via the Nook using what's called 8 boot loop. It's a failsafe that is tirggered when the device is rebooted 8 times during the boot phase. This can be done manually by powering off the device 8 times during boot, or modifying the ROM (/system) which triggers it.
Also as long as we have access to booting the device off the sdcard and access to the Nook's kernel I believe the device will be fairly open and accessible for us to do whatever we want to.

Actually, if you just follow some0ne's guide here, and install a decent launcher (I use Nova Launcher Prime.. gives you NINE desktops!), then you really will have no need for CM10 to have a fully-working rooted experience with the HD+. I'm hoping the HD owners get some love soon, too.. cause I'm aware that not everyone has the $320 to throw out for the 32 GB HD+.. (I personally couldn't settle for anything less than the FULL amount of internal storage, as the expansion slot will only take an additional 64 gb microSD.. or is that 48?_ I dunno.. too early in the morning to remember right now. ha.
For an IT pro such as myself, storage space is EVERYTHING when you're constantly downloading, installing, transferring files from one place to another... When I bought my HD+ 32GB, I also picked up a Sandisk 32GB Class 10 microSD to go along with it. (they were on sale for a mere $26!) I couldn't pass that deal up!)
Anyways, just do as some0ne says and you'll be livin' the "high... err I mean ROOTED LIFE" in no time." -- If you've got an HD+, that is.
Welllllll perhaps I spoke a bit too soon. Just went to run my titanium backup pro and it seems I'm no longer rooted due to B&N cramming the 2.0.5 update down my throat. wtf...

It does not harm the nook. If you don't want it rooted anymore, just do the 8 failed boot procedure.
