hey guys this forum is fantastic with a lot of info and help , which i need 5 days ago my hd+ 4.4.4 kitkat for three years was at 1% running great so plug in my charger into wall outlet and left it for about four hours to charge

then i notice it was rebooting so i unplugged and waited it took about 1 min for cynoboot to disapear and then cynogenmod another min to disaprear only to have kittkat appear for about 10secs then reboot

sometimes when booting it will not make it to kitkat just reboot to nook the cynoboot then cynogenmod then loop

bad news is when i did this install three years ago i tried to backup the stock nook os but it said not enuff storage but i chose to still install kitkat good news is it worked bad news no backup

i found my 2gb sd card i used for this and tried to reinstall but i dont think its wipeing the old kitkat os off my hd+

what is the best way to remove a failing kitkat os just to see if the internal memory is ok thanks for looking, i am so sorry for the long post

I have no recovery or backup on the internal memory i have a micro sc card with clockworkmod 6.0.4.6 can i used it to fix the bootdata on the emmc with the zip file you provided?
Yes, you can use the sdcard recovery to flash the bootdata zip file which would fix the "bootloop to recovery" problem (just to be clear: this will not fix the problem of bootloop which occurs while in the midst of booting up the ROM).

If the Nook bootloops after it starts to boot the ROM OS then your problem is not due to /bootdata content. You can try to re-flash the CM/LN ROM & GApps. While flashing if you get error messages saying some partition such /system or /data cannot be mounted then chances are your emmc is bricked, in which case you can try running off sdcard the CM11 ROM build specially made for bricked/no-emmc available at https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.

ok i tried my best to understand the steps in the link provided
i formatted a 8 gb micro sd card with sdformatter then wrote the .img file to the card then i dragged and dropped the cm11 zip file but did not have enough room for the gapps zip file,

did the power and n button that got me to the twrp screen but could not have done the mount boot the boot would not highlight with a checkmark :(
