I need help. Wrote to the Nook instead of SD.

---

I was using win32DiskImager to write cm7 to an sd card. I had my Nook connected to my computer and accidentally wrote to the Nook instead of the SD card. Now, every time I boot up the Nook, I get a message that says the Nook encountered a problem and needs to be rebooted.

Which steps should I take to write the stock firmware to the Nook?

First, ask a mod to move this post to General or Q&A.

Second, provide details about what exactly you had and were trying to do, including OS versions and other relevant info.

I had stock 1.2 with CWR. I was trying to get my Nook back to complete stock (Like just out of the box) and run a separate firmware from my SD. I used a zip to remove CWR from the nook emmc. I was trying to write the CM7 SD image to my SD card, but forgot my Nook was still connected to my PC. Instead of choosing the SD card to write to with Win32DiskImager, I chose the Nook to write to. Now I can't even view the file folders on my Nook while connected to my PC. I have an SD card with CWR on it. If I need to flash something to the emmc I can do it that way.

There are stock images. People have them and will post. Don't panic.

I've tried flashing some of the stock images I've seen. I still get the reboot message.

Man, sounds like you wiped your partitions. Let's hope that you only wiped your /media partition.

-Get a bootable CWM sdcard.
-Boot to CWM Recovery
-Connect nook to pc
-Assuming you have adb up and running. Run the following commands:

$ adb shell
# fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

That should give you a print out of your partition layout. Post here so we can see where you're at.

-Racks

How do I insert code like you did?

This is what I got. (I think I did this right)

Well thats a good sign. All your partitions are still intact. Have you tried the 8-Failed reboots? Then clearing data by holding "Power & Home" Until the clearing data screen comes up?

I tried the 8 failed reboot thing. Now I'm stuck at "Read Forever".

EDIT: I got it to work. Thanks. <======= noooooooooooooob
