Running rooted stock NC 1.2 and after Manual Nooter 4.6.16 when force closing an application by Hard-booting NC it locks up at "Nook CO" animation and will stay in that animation loop forever. Rebooted with the same issue. Have to Restore to factory and re-root to fix. This has happened 3 times now.
Any other users having this issue?
Yes....same issue
The same thing has happened to me. I haven't been able to determine a work around. I ended up resetting to factory default and rerooting.

I was running CM7 n136 with nook tweaks (overclocked to 1300). My NC randomly rebooted (probably because I haven't quite nailed down my undervoltage settings) and when it came back it had me at the android start screen (touch the android to begin). I clicked through it and almost all my apps were gone; it was like I was starting CM7 for the first time. I had a handful of force closes too (they just popped up right away before I could click through the startup). Not a problem, I thought, and I went to recover with ClockworkMod (3.2.0.1). Restoring doesn't work and I end up at the same screen. I've tried restoring two different restore points and neither works.
Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks for all your help!
I had successfully manual nootered my NC with Manual Nooter 4.6.16 and was happily using the NC for a month.
Then suddenly the root is gone and I am back to the factory 1.01...
Any ideas on what might have caused that? I don't think anyone forced the factory restore by holding certain buttons down. I also don't think that the battery was fully drained because I had been keeping it charged.
How can I see if any part of my old configuration still exists (apps downloaded, screen layout, etc)? Is it possible that everything from the rooted configuration is still there but something got corrupted and it rebooted into factory 1.01?
Any suggestions for preventing this from happening again?
BTW I used the appropriate version of CMR to do the manual nooter and still have that SD card so rerooting is not an issue. Just trying to figure out what happened...
FWIW since magically going back to 1.01 I haven't been prompted by B&N to auto update to 1.2 ...
Thanks in advance for any advice or ideas...

I don't know what cause but gotta be something.
AFAIK, never heard of this case once before.
Back in the good old days --Feb or Mar -- I accidently hit Share Books on the BN menu and it did a factory reset ....back to no root.
I've seen a couple of threads that explain how I ended up where I am I think, but nothing so far on how to get out of it. So, any advice?
I updated to the 209 nightly the usual way (emmc install via clockwork recovery after wiping cache and dalvik) and it booted, started loading my home screen and clock widget, and then crashed completely and rebooted. Repeatedly.
I tried fixing permissions. I tried downgrading my version to 207, I tried upgrading to 210 and later 211. It either freezes or reboots.
After reading that the latest version of superuser needed to be installed before updating nightlies to avoid this type of problem and that it tied into overclocking, I was able to get into my nook by quickly going to the overclock settings and taking my max cpu down to 600 before it had a chance to lock and reboot. Yay right?
But the second I reboot, I have the same problem unless I race to undo the overclock again. Anything I can do to fix this? Or am I screwed and need to find an old backup or start from scratch again?
In short: After update to 1.1.2, rooting methods don't work for me. Each time after root, Nook stuck on «nook» screen with 5 circles below (dot continue running until battery discharges completely, screen refreshes non-regularly), except 1st boot with MinimalTouch, which asked about signing-in and location services.
Any help appreciated.
Long story:
Some time ago, I've been beginning with NST 1.0.1, and rooted is successfully with TouchNooter. After it updated to 1.1, and I re-rooted it, successfully again, now with «Market & Setup Script Kit» (which uses uRamdisk-replacing method).
But I didn't turn off OTA update, just not to miss new firmware.
One day about a week ago, it ceased to boot, not going beyond «nook» screen with running dot in 5 circles. I did reset with holding left & right bottom buttons, but it didn't help.
When I booted noogie, I found apparent uRamdisk.old (left from prev. rooting) near uRamdisk, and renamed it to uRamdisk. Nook booted normally, allowed me to register, and let me use it as reader.
But still, I wanted to root.
Tried both touchnooter-2-1-31 and MinimalTouch, both with same result (not loading beyond running dot). Tried installing 1.1.2 in non-rooted mode, and updating again. With MinimalTouch, it boots to sign-in 1st time, but reboots when it should go to home screen. 2nd time an on, it does not boot beyond running dot.
Currently my nook is working, non-rooted, with 1.1.2 firmware. Each time I began from this state.

Haven't tried these but supposedly can revert you back to original firmware then maybe upgrade to 1.1, root, and turn off updates?
I tried the 3rd method on my unrooted nook that had 1.1.2, it claimed to work but version still showed up as 1.1.2.
Regardless I used touchnooter to root and haven't had any issues since. Still shows 1.1.2 in version info but it's rooted and running fine.
Well, I've used methods #2 and #3 several times, and it doesn't help (surprisingly).
I don't think there will be any difference with #1.
What helped me to go back is n2T-Recovery_0.1.img from that post, which initiated full restoration (and it worked). Once I also used full initial backup, from which I retrived some files to undo rooting. I didn't flash it back ever, because I am not sure it's done correctly, as its size differs from one stated in backup article, and is 1'962'934'272 bytes long (exactly same as size on disk).
funny, I've just rooted with uRamdisk_wireless_adb_init_1.1_1.1.2.zip. Now will try to install google apps.
I used manual nooter over weekend, everything has been working well, but I did have a hard time figuring out soft keys. For reasons I'm nott sure when I tried to use Nook color tools I could only get to BN tools, not the option for all settings which was originally there. I decided to power Nook off an turn back on as that often helps on my Bionic. Well, upon turning on I had the orange menu askin if I wanted to reboot, restore etc. I tried rebooting, was stuck on loop, powered back on and off, did a back up, tried to reboot again and stuck on loop. Do I need to do a complete wipe and start over? SD card seems to be working fine. Any thoughts? Everything else seemed fine, could use play store etc. I did download Firefox last night. thanks.
Updating, through another thread on this forum I went into CWM recovery, did a factory reset, cleared cache, wiped dalvik and rebooted. I think I am getting back to stock, Nook is trying to connect to WiFi, but my office router isn't showing up. Once I get past this, hopefully I can connect somewhere and try Manual Nooter again. Crisis averted, I think.
Last update, sorry for the panicky post. Was able to connect to Wifi, re-register Nook, then reinstall ManualNooter from SD card. Bootloop is gone, CWM recovery worked. After searching deep enough with the posts, everything is working as it should. Thanks for all of the info here and tolerating my Nooby panic.
