Looking for Nook HD 2.0.0 CWM Zip File

[houstondallas]

I've messed up my nook HD. I formatted the internal partitions with CWM and now I can't boot at all into the stock ROM (shows "Install Failed").

Does someone have a zip to install the 2.0.0 ROM from CWM just like what was posted for the HD+?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you try the 8 failed boot procedure? If you formatted /rom and /factory with CWM, you are in a big hurt. That has vital info it needs to boot.

If you formatted just /rom you are repairable. But it would take some work.

8 failed boot procedure doesn't work. I can boot into CWM and CM10, but not the stock rom. I also noticed that I don't have wireless in CM10 which I imagine has something to do with what I erased.

Is there anyway I can backup /rom and /factory from another Nook HD and write it to the broken one?

No, the info that was there on /rom is device specific. Your serial number, MAC address, etc. But you can boot into CM10? That tells me your /rom partition is ok. It sounds like you messed up the factory partition. That is what holds the factory.zip that stock recovery tries to install and fails on the 8 failed boot. And if that is what it is, you can use someone else's. It is about 350MB though. And you can use the HD cwm to push it to /factory with adb. What was it you formatted, do you remember?

edit: but you cannot flash that to internal memory with that CWM, it is hard coded to flash things to SD. I am working with bokbokan to make a CWM that you can flash to internal.

Edit 2: I just look at the HD+ factory zip. If the HD factory zip is like that, it might be able to be flashed with the current HD CWM.

I probably did format the factory partition as I can't see a MAC address in CM10 when trying to connect to WIFI. If I do a Nandroid backup of my working unit and restore it to my non-working unit, can't I go in and edit the MAC address and serial number within the factory partition?

I'm assuming I can't do any of these things yet though until you release a HD compatible CWM?

Thanks for the help btw, you're a lifesaver!

You can do it when booted to cm10. Look in /rom. There should be a folder named /devconf. It should have a bunch of files, one of them being MACAddress. It should contain 12 bytes, numbers and upper case letters (hex) and no line return. If there are no files there, go to the next step to see if rombackup.zip exists. If it does, it contains a zip backup made of /rom at manufacture.

You can see /factory too, but you have to mount it in terminal emulator first. Open terminal emulator and type su enter. The prompt should change to #. Then type this line:

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /data/local/tmp

Then you can go to /data/local/tmp and look at the files there. There should be factory.zip, rombackup.zip, romrestore.zip, and fsck.zip. The first two are the most critical.

You can access files there using your root file manager. The file manager that comes with cm10 is root if you change it to root in its settings. If the files are there, back them up to your SD. (Both /rom and /factory which is displayed at /data/local/tmp now).

That worked like a charm. Backed up the four files from my working nook and transferred them over to my non-working nook. Nook rom booted up fine and updated to 2.0.5. The only problem I have at the moment is that both units have the same MAC address. How do I edit that? I edited the MACAdress file with the correct mac address, but CM10 isn't picking it up even though I wiped cache and flashed the newest CM10 zip. Any ideas?

Quick Update

Success! Figured out where the MAC address is stored (WiFiBackupCalibration) and HEX edited it to show the correct MAC address.

Thanks again mate!

Is there a way to recover from a /rom format?

my nook hd+ can't boot into both ROM( cm10 and stock rom ).

If your factory partition is intact, yes. But you have to boot into CWM and get adb working. Do the same commands it had the prior user do with terminal emulator using adb. There is a backup there you can unzip and restore.

thank you for your reply.

i've been formatted "/ Rom" , "/ factory" by a stupid mistake.
tried to recover partition["/ dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/ dev/block/mmcblk0p7"] through "adb shell" but had been failed.

Will you just convinced me to remove those from the CWM. They should never have been there anyway. That is a very costly mistake on your part. Those partitions held vital information on your device like serial number, MAC address, which both can be recovered, but there were some other keys there that you cannot recover. You may be only able to boot from SD from now on. You might want to return it to B&N while it is still under warranty.
