My rooted Nook color automagically downloaded and updated to 1.3.. In order to try and get google things going again, I applied MN 4-5-15 and 4-6-16, although it only makes sense that just 4-6-16 is needed.
Now the problem is that the Nook will not boot back up unless the usb cable is plugged into it. Pressing and holding the power key does nothing. If I let it boot from the usb cable, all is fine... (well, I'm still having market problems...)
Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
I ended up reflashing stock 1.2, updating to 1.3, and then running MN. All back to running now.

Hi there,
I am a newie when it comes to tech and some time ago i decided to purchase a nook and root as a full tablet.
I installed Phiremod Rom V5 and everything worked fine. Yesterday i updated the Rom to Phiremod V6.2 and my power button stop working.
After reading some threads i decided to factory reset my nook and went to CWM mode via the rom manager. Then i choose the options factory reset and now the screen is stuck in CWM mood. I cannot turn off, reset or do anything with my nook.
It would be much appreciated if someone could help me out cuz u don't know what to do and i cannot take it back to Barnes and Nobel for repairing...
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
You're going to have to. You have a hardware failure. That power button is completely faulty, I had the same thing happen to me. Restore it to stock (do your best, it took me a few hours to get it back with that faulty button) and call barnes and nobles. Otherwise you're just going to have problems.
Well the thing is that i don't know how to turn my nook on without pressing the power button. I have to wait until the battery is completely drained and it will turn off automatically but turning it back on into Clockworkmod is the complicated part. I can't send the nook to BN with no rom installed.
How did you manage to recover the stock rom???
Thanks in advance.
If the nook is off, and you plug it into a charger it will turn on. You have to get the stock image from the Development section of these forums.
As far as getting into CWM with out the power button, CWM bootable sd card would be your best bet.
Don't panic
Here's what u have to do, let the battery run out first, it will automatically turn off.
To turn it on, just connect charger,it will take some time to start.
Try CWM again or Use a bootable CWM sd card to restore your nook to stock or see if it can be done via adb.
Take your nook back to B&N (coz this seems like a hardware fault).
Thanks a lot
I already created a bootable sd card with CWM and am still waiting for the battery to drain out completely. I find it so interesting that all this happened within 12 hours of installing the new Phiremod Rom.
I will try to wait and see how it works after the recovery.
Only another short question. I am currently studying in Europe but coming back home for a couple of days and then i have to leave again. How are the people in BN and are they going to tell me to wait until they fix it or give me a new one???
Thanks for all your help guys. I can finally relax now
I had a kinda similar scare yesterday. For me I just couldn't get the power button to do anything, and apparently it wasn't a hardware fault. I ended up getting it to work by using a bootable CWM SD and having the power cable unplugged. When I tried with the power cable plugged in I got no response. I don't really know how easy battery access is on the nook, but that's something to think about for a hard reset. Good luck!
Yes, I searched, but nothing I found seemed similar to my situation.
Here is the timeline of events:
Rooted my nook with autonooter a long time ago.
Decided last weekend that I wanted to install CM7.
Installed Rom Manager, CWM, etc. Then installed CM7.
Decided that I wanted to bring my nook back to stock so I could check out the 1.2 update.
Restored it back to stock using Option #1 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690&highlight=reset+stock
It worked fine the past few days.
Then last night I decided I would try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018
I burned the image to the SDcard, expanded the partition in order to be able to use the SDcard for storage. Placed the sdcard in my nook.
It wouldnt boot at all. The screen refused to turn on.
I tried it many different ways, holding the 'n' button while turning it on, holding the volume buttons, etc.
Then i took the sdcard out of the nook and tried booting it.
It still wouldnt turn on. The screen simply would not turn on. Finally after a few tries, it did turn on. So I shut it off for the night and thought I'd try again today.
I tried to turn it on again today (without the sdcard in the nook) and it will not turn on. I've tried it about 25 times. Holding the power button for many different time intervals.
And yes, its charged. It was fully charged last night.
Any idea what I can do here??
Connect it with power cable (no matter if its charged) and try to turn it on by Power button.
Then restore it to original rom.

Unfortunately, I'm at work and dont have my power cable with me.
I have a compatible USB cable that I can plug into the computer, but I already tried that and it didnt work.
Also, the nook should be on the stock rom already. It was on stock 1.2 before I tried the dualboot sd card last night.
OK, so I just tried turning it on for the 50th time today, and for some reason it worked.
It was not plugged into anything, I didnt do anything differently.
Just held the power button.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
My nook is stock 1.2.
I had a similar problem, and I thought mine was bricked. I used WinImage to create a ClockworkMod boot microSD card. Holding the power button for ten seconds performs a manual power down, release, then hold it for another three to five seconds. It will boot to ClockworkMod Recovery.
Now, I had installed HC update RC3 from a week ago, and it worked just fine. The dev releases a hybrid with the Asus Eee Pad Transformer this week, and I tried updating to it. It caused my Nook screen to not turn on just like yours.
Once in ClockworkMod, I can reinstall the zip files, but it still won't turn the screen on unless in Recovery. When I try to restore my backup of CM7, it says there is an "MD5 error." Not sure what that is or how to fix. Maybe you can help me?

Well it sounds like our problems are very different. However, I have some experience with your problem with my thunderbolt.
When I got an MD5 error, it meant that there was something wrong with the name of my backup. Does your backup have spaces in the name? Or did you change the name of it after creating it?
Unfortunately, I was never able to recover the backup with the MD5 error.
If you can get into recovery, it sounds like you should be able to restore your nook to stock via this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690&highlight=reset+stock
If I were you, I would return my nook to stock and start over.
Hello all,
A friend just purchased a used G2. I was able to take it from stock 2.3.x ROM, downgrade it, and then root it and load a CM7 KANG on it just fine. I then updated CWMR to the latest version for this phone (5.0.2.7) through ROM Manager.
I noticed that if I have the battery in and the phone off, when I plug in a USB cable, the phone boots directly to CWMR (no HTC screen) after about 7 seconds. Searching on the forums it looks like this was a CWMR issue that was fixed earlier in 2011. Is this a regression in CWMR or is something else up?
Stranger still: if I leave CWMR up, the CWMR text on the screen disappears after 20 seconds and the whole screen is blank. The phone seems to stay on though as I can now boot it by pushing the black button at the bottom center of the phone (OK/Confirm in CWMR) or the Power button. Normally when the phone is unplugged it only boots via the push of the Power button.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you XDA!
Clockword 5.x.x.x has issues on the G2 - I would recommend going to Rom Manager, go to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries," and choose 3.0.2.4, or flash that manually.
That fixed it! Thanks!

Hello everyone This is my first time posting so I hope this is in the correct spot.
I have a Transformer TF101.
I rooted it months ago and can not remember what method I used.
I installed CyanogenMod 10 and everything was fine.
I did an update to one of the nightly builds and now my Transformer is stuck in CWM.
When I plug it into my Windows 7 pc it comes up with a unknown device code 43. I have tried it on several other devices having vista and xp and the same thing happens.
For the heck of it I tried placing the stock FW on the SD card but the transformer does not see it.
I tried placing it in adb mode but the pc still comes up with unknown device.
I have factory reset, wiped cache, and delvik, it is just stuck on CWM.
Can anyone help me with this or did I just totally break the thing? Thank You.
what did you use to flash the rom?
Try doing a cold boot......volume down and power (like you would to boot into recover) but release the keys when the white writting comes up on screen and press nothing.
use v+ and v- to toggle and select the Android or let it kick in itself.
sounds like youve used rom manager
Broke my TF101

Thank You Scotty: That did get me back so it boots up. None of my computers will see it. Wondering if maybe the cable took a dump. I did use rom Manager. At this point I would like to bring everything back to stock and start over. Any suggestions on how to bring back to stock with sync cable not working?

best just to get the sync cable and use one of the tools available to make sure it gets done right.
just dont use rom manager bud.....:good:
try this to see if you can fix the recovery loop
Recovery Loop fix with terminal emulator
Hi,
while I wasn't paying attention, my phone apparently was in a long state of booting/bootlooping. I finally noticed it and after some fidgetting with taking the battery out I decided that I wanted to update my phone (which had been in a quarx build from around the start of this year, I think), so I wiped the cache, not realising that I was not in the extended CWM bootloader but in a far simpler one. After my phone rebooted it was completely different and I was constantly told that the gapps package and setup wizard both kept ceasing to respond. My launcher, trebuchet, is also gone, and the only things I can access are the drawer and the time/date settings that are in the drawer. Everything else is off-limits, it seems (although I somehow did manage to get into wifi settings once, however I lost it after another reboot while trying to activate debug mode to restart into proper bootloader mode). I can't get into play store, no file browser can be reached and ADB doesn't seem to work either (no way to go into debug mode). I'm thinking that my only hope is the update.zip function in the bootloader but I still don't understand what exactly that is supposed to accept, I tried to rename a new quarx build to update.zip and it did not take. Also, the USB transfer mode from the power+vol up combo seems to do nothing whatsoever so I can't do anything through that either, I fear. What do I do now? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Leandros
You are confusing stock recovery with custom recovery. Custom recovery can be accessed by pressing the volume down button when the led turns blue. Flash rom from there

I'm afraid not - I pressed loads of button combinations and I never got any other menu, even though I've had root and various versions of CM for well over a year. I fear things have worsened, though, as I tried to fix the problem myself using RSD lite. I guess I used the wrong sbf and now the only responsiveness I get out of the phone is the white led flashing for a fraction of a second when I press the power button or plug the phone into a charger. Am I screwed?
If you can access bootloader, flash a sbf which is closest to your initial version. If unsure, and wish to remain on ICS+ custom roms, flash dfp 231

I flashed it and now it won't even boot :/. When it's plugged into the PC the led burns white, when it's in the AC charger it just flashes shortly when I plug it in. I'm fairly certain the battery isn't empty as it certainly wasn't when it all started, but is there a way to find out? For instance, do the other two terminals emit a certain voltage when it's charged to a certain level?
