Unable to create a new CWM bootable

[Royaltiger]

I had created a CWM bootable flash drive before which worked fine. Unfortunately the drive got formatted accidentally. Now when I create the same CWM bootable following the exact instructions, Nook HD+ does not boot from it and goes straight to Nook stock 2.1.0. And I have tried two different microSD cards without any success.

Any suggestions? I am using Windows 8.

I'm having the same problem. I've got an 8GB that images and boots fine, but no-go with the 32GB that I would prefer to be using. Images successfully, but doesn't boot.

I was having this same problem. What I found is that if I let it boot to the stock OS, then shut it down and power it back on, then on the second boot up the CWM would start.

I tried your suggestion but without success. Just wondering once you let a CWM microSD boot to stock OS then Nook will prepare the card and very likely kill the bootable aspect. It puts its own directory structure.

The only thing I am missing is the ability to sideload.

The card does nothing to itself that would effect how well it boots. It is your device. Some HD+'s are just hard to get things to boot from a cold start. I have two of them and one boots reliably all the time. The other, using the same card, balks. I just have to keep trying.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.

what you have to do, that has worked for me, is after putting the CWM card in, if it boots to stock..just shut it down and try booting again.
