I tried to load up the new gingerbread roms from my current one. I downloaded its content and tried to install it via clockwork.
I first deleted system, logo, and cache followed up by a restore format. When trying to download the new rom, I was getting a weird error that was stopping me from completing the full installation. So basically was in a chokehold because I didn't have any backup files or another working rom in the sd at that time. I just restarted the phone and it for a few times was stuck on the M screen, but now its just green led when I plug it into the computer usb. When plugging it into the outlet, it imediately turns on stuck on the M screen and shuts off when unplugging as if the battery isnt charging at all.
Sounds like ur going to have to sbf.

bootloader is such a rare occurance for me, i just had it come out but it was flashing low battery. the thing is, im not quite sure if its charging if i have it plugged into the computer. when i have it plugged into an outlet, the M splash screen comes up so i'm worried that draining the power..
edit: now it flickers for a split second, am i supposed to hold on to it til something shows up? been like 1 minute
i dont think bricking phone blows your battery. at least i hope it doesnt, was working fine before.
Plug it in without the battery if a question mark comes up you ned to use another battery cuz it won't charge in boot loader and the boot loader should pop up right away hold power volume down and camera button it takes about three seconds

well its basically the same thing. when plug into the outlet it shows the m splash screen with or without the battery.
when its plugged into the compuiter however, its just flickers once. when it is done with the battery in, the led is on forever
EDIT: OBSERVATION
when on the wall, it is actually charging, but REALLY slowly because of the fact that the splash screen stays on. found this out because i had it in for30 min and then tried to connect mit to my comp with bootload and it loaded for a few minutes with the low battery flashing.
is version 320 the latest?
Okay. so it isnt charging as I though because its not working at all... problem is, I dont know if it truly is a battery defect. If I were to Buy a new battery, how would i know if it is charging if it doesnt boot and just stays stuck on the M logo screen?
perhaps I should by a battery charger where i take the battery out and charge it through there? because my bootloader always gives me the same low battery.
Do you have any friends with the same phone? There is also a macgyver (spelling?) Method of doing this by cutting the USB cable open and attaching the cable ends to the battery. However I would only do this if you're really desperate
i just really need make complete sure that this phone is INFACT dead battery
when not plug, it doesnt turn on what so ever with a white spark on the led.
when plugged nto outlet the logo shows but i isnt charging because it isnt booting
when plugged into the computer it is a solid green which i think represent a dead or a low battery state(can someone back thisup?)
Your battery is dead, as in drained, but should work fine once you get your phone to a bootable state again. The problem is that, in the state your phone is in, there's no charging capabilities. Bootloader won't do it, neither will sitting at the M logo. So, you just need to find someone with a compatible battery to let you use it to SBF your phone. Then, boot the phone up completely, and let your battery charge to at least 50-60% before trying to install a ROM. Preferably, I'd go with a full charge, just in case you end up in a similar situation again.
This is nothing to freak out over, you'll be fine.. the only problem you have is that your battery has no juice, as confirmed by the low battery warning in the bootloader, when you successfully got it to load.

thanks for the reassuring comment, however, i think i need to bootload.
i accidently did the partition hat formats everything.. cant recall if it was under clockwork because it didnt have the same interface, i was all light blue text with an ok button on the left corner. Anyway, i've completely destroyed the phone as in no roms no factory.
can I possibly get a dock to charge this battery and then get into bootloader for an sbf session
? Even if I did have battery, im pretty sure i just hover at the logo screen

You definitely need to use the bootloader, and I was implying that in the first reply(SBF'ing requires going into the bootloader). If you had a stand-alone battery charging cradle/dock, that should do the trick. Just make sure to let the battery charge sufficiently. I've successfully gotten an SBF completed, starting with only 30% battery. SBF takes about 7 minutes on my laptop(not that I've timed it, but I usually light up a smoke when I start the process lol). So, as long as the battery is charged enough to no longer give the "Low Battery" warning in the bootloader, you should be fine.
You got your usb cable and put the ends where the battery goes that's how I got mine working try it

Pleaseee help. Big problem. Nook stuck in sleep

Ok this is weird. So my nook color is stuck at the battery too low to power ON screen. I had it rooted to HC installed on my device memory. The nook died completely and now this happened. The weird part about it is this. When i have my sd card in, it boots up just fine to clockwork recovery mode. Without the sd card, it wont boot up. I have tried everything in clockwork. Data wipe, re install, everything. This is really pissing me off.
Btw one more thing. I am using the black plug that goes to the wall that came with the NC but the plug coming out of the black plug is the one for the original Nook.
I've read on the NC info sheets that come on the device and also on the B&N nook forums, you cannot use a charge/usb cable from an original nook on a NC. The two devices use different voltages, and they warn you can damage your battery. You'll need a NC cable.
Plug it in your pc and leave it on for overnight, it takes a few hours to start up with a non stock charger.

[Q] Battery Not Charging!

I have updated and installed CM 10 with TWRP and JB gapps but my Nook will not charge when powered on. I previously had CM 10 just on the SD card running it from there and thought if I put it directly to the EMMC it would fix it but no luck. Any Ideas?

Are you using the stock BN charger and cable? If so does the n light up when plugged in?

What CM10 version did you install? It seems the charging signal vbus is not turning on when your Nook is on or in sleep mode. Another app may be interfering with the charging function.
same exact issue I am having. I've tried many CM10 builds, paranoid android which I know is CM10 based, but it wont charge with the stock charger setup unless I turn the nook off. also having issues with win7/win8 not recongnizing in any fashion my nook when I connect it. I followed install steps 100% too.
so does anyone have an update on this problem or what to check or look into? no matter what nightly I flash it will not charge while powered on. if I power it down it charges just fine. this is using the stock charger, though using a normal microusb cable charges the unit fine on or off. if I flash stock 1.4.3 software charging while on works just fine. this is driving me crazy.

How do you know it is not charging? The color of the lights, or are you counting on some software to tell you.

Were you on CM7.x using Nook Tweaks host mode (not host/vbus mode) prior to CM10?
I know its not charging because one, the light stays green and does not change to orange, but two I go into battery in settings and it shows no charge taking place. If I plugin a regular microusb cable though it does show a charge taking place. As for CM7 and Nook Tweaks, no I was originally on stock 1.4.3 software and used manualnooter to root and get CM10 installed and had the same problem. I then proceeded to try out paranoid android which I know is based on CM10, then I tried a couple different CM7 roms but went back to CM10.

You need to get some better software to tell you exactly what is happening.There are lots of them out there, some free and some paid. What you want is an app that tells you how you are connected, USB charging mode or AC adapter.
I use a paid app, Battery Monitor Widget Pro. It tells you how it is connected and the net current draw or charge rate.

As I've said in another thread regarding charging on CM10 based ROMs... I am having the same issue and am trying different configurations to narrow down the cause.
I currently have CM7.2 on SD... CM10 on eMMC... when booted to CM7 charges fine... prior to CM10 on eMMC stock would charge fine as well....
When I am booted to CM10 the light is green and displays discharging on lock screen... and in fact does discharge the battery... as soon as it goes dead... the light turns green.
When booting up... the ligh stays orange... right up until I choose eMMC Normal from Cyanoboot menu... as soon as it starts to boot CM10... green light and no charging. Using USB (non-nook cable... car charger... etc) it charges even in CM10, even shows charging on lock screen... and battery level does increase if I leave the screen off.
Software to tell how its connected is not necessary atm. And as I stated in the other thread... I cannot blatently state it is the ROMs fault at this time... I have too complex of a configuration to rule out other possible causes. But have no solution as of yet.

My battery charges very slowly. I'm using the factory nook cable and charger, CM7.2, light is orange while charging, charges all day and I get 2% charge increase. Currently at 12% charge, battery monitor widget needs at least 40% to work. Battery might have died, but then it's had a relatively short life if that's the case.
Edit: No idea what the problem is, but the solution is to plugin in the power cable, and then turn off the Nook. Charges rapidly as normal.

[PROBLEM] Problems with connections (USB/AC charger)

Hello.
I've got a weird problems with my MM2. The main problem is connections. I am having some issues with USB and charger. First of all, let's start about USB. For about one month ago I wanted to copy something onto my phone, but unfortutaltey the computer couldn't see the phone card (It see the phone, RSD lite found it). My first thoughts were going around drivers, so i unintalled it and installed everything from the very beggining, but it didn't changed anything. The phone was still on "Memory card acess" with USB debugging enabled (With disabled it wasn't seen even by RSD lite). Second idea was the USB cable, so i've changed it to other one, but it dosen't change anything. The same thing goes on every PC. Yea, and thats about USB issue. Now I will tell about charger. So, for about two days, i just simply wanted to charge up my phone. I looked at the phone, the notification said, that it is charging properly. OK, so i left the phone to charge up. I came back after one hour, and the battery status went down to 1% from 10%~. I tried to change charger, but still without effect. My friend gave me battery from his MM2 and the same thing happend. After some tricks, I've made my phone to charge up. I just tried to unplug/plug usb. It charged up, and next day i had the same issue. Now i even can't make it charging, it is so frightening. I tried to charge up with USB cable with "Only charge", but without effect.
Help me please, this two things are driving me mad!
My apologises about all the mistakes, my English is so poor.
Roms and Kernel change dosent affect.
Maybe your USB port is bad...
Try flashing a SBF to reset the phone. Do you know to get to bootloader mode? Turn on while pressing volume up and camera buttons, then plug your M2 to PC. That's the only way RSD Lite should recognize your phone correctly.

I flashed SBF 2 times, on 2.2 and 2.2.2 the same problems occurs. RSD recognizes my phone corrently, no matter how it is connected. I said, that I have problems with USB connection, but i meant, that my PC can't see the memory card Other problems were solved, service helped.
Waiting for other replies.
Take sd card to another device and make backup of your data. Format card on ms2 and back your data. in my case it help i dont know why I have problem also milestone see and use sd card but usb sharing to computer didnt work at all, i have no idea why but changing card helped.

[Q] Urgent - Battery Charging Problem with CM10.1

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this. I am having a serious problem charging my Nook Color after updating to CM10.1.
I have been running CM7 for about a year and finally decided to bump up to CM10 because many apps now require a faster/higher rom.
Well I can tell you that I love the update with 1 slight problem. My Nook will not charge when I am plugged in and using it. It only charged
while turned off. I use my Nook a lot and at times it needs to be plugged in. I have tried 3 different B&N NC charging cable. 2 of them were
new out of the package. I returned it to CM7 to make sure it wasn't the Nook battery having internal problems and it charged fine while using it. Wiped and reflashed to CM10 and same problem. I have seen that several others have had the problem through google searches but could find no solutions. I really don't want to go back to CM7 but not being to use my NC without having to turn it off and letting it charge for 2 hours before using again isn't an option either. I have a dsmeg.txt file that I made from emulator after I plugged it in that I am attaching. Again. Thanks for your help and hopefully this will help others.
