Boot issues - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's the deal: I've been running dual boot for several months but yesterday upon trying to boot from the alterative partition to the main partition it froze at the boot screen.
I was able to get the boot screen to say "loading...." under the cyanogen logo or get it to say "loading alternate" or "booting into recovery", but the nook just freezes there no matter what I try. In fact, the more I hard reset the nook the worse it gets.
I have wiped, reinstalled, reflashed, re downloaded, and flashed from internal cwm and bootable sd. Once I reboot out of one partition to the other, it freezes.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas??

Can you run cm7 from an SD card?

Sd card not mounting need help

I flashed a rom the other day and a couple minutes after flashing the rom kept rebooting not goin past the Mytouch splash screen. If the sdcard is in it'll reboot about 3 or 4 times and finally boot up or just removing the card it'll boot up normally. I unrooted to see if that was the problem. Same result I've tried different cards reformatting and everything and the cards work on other devices. So I'm assuming its the phone. Is there a way to fix or am I just stuck with a phone that can never be rooted again ?
Also when I go into recovery I get the" E: can't open /cache/recovery/command"

[Q] Stuck on Boot on Cyanogen 7 RC 4

I tried to update my Aria from Cyanogen 7 RC 2 to RC 4 last night and phone got stuck on the spinning blue android boot screen. I didn't have enough space on sd card so I couldn't back up the old rom. I've done this multiple times but it wouldn't work this time. I put the rom on sd card, flashed into recovery using power+vol down. Wiped data/cache/Dalvik and tried flashing, yet it still gets stuck. I've tried flashing rom about 4 times now and it still gets stuck. Any help would be appreciated
Try formatting the system partition as well before flashing.

[Q] Nook won't boot past N screen, recovery freezes up, and 8 boot freezes up partway

I originally was trying to flash CM7 using a SD bootable version of CWM 3.0.2.8 and it wouldn't boot at all. So, after a bit of searching, came to find out my refurbished Nook was one of the "new" ones with the partition change and was told that custom ROMs won't work on it yet.
I then got a CWM flashable 1.2 stock ROM and flashed it back to stock. Now, it won't boot past the N screen. I tried holding the power and N button to get into recovery to restore it, but that process freezes up half way through.
Next, I tried the 8 times boot interrupt (which is only 4 on my Nook btw) and it too freezes up part way through while "Clearing Data".
Any ideas on where to go next?
Nevermind, problem fixed. Whew, I went from having a Nook that wouldn't even power on this morning to a fully restored one.
Turns out I needed to have the power adapter plugged in while doing the 8 boot interrupt process.

[Q] Stuck on ALL Splash Screens after Installs

Hi everyone, took a friends Nook Color after showing him mine with MIUI on it (1.9.16). Told him I could get his 1.2 or 1.3 refurbished Nook to MIUI or CM7, and after using a SD Card CWR to install either (with wiping all data/cache/system/etc.), I can get the install to perform fine in CWR. However, upon booting, I get loops at any and all splash screens, MIUI stays on orbiting planet, CM7 stays on Nook Color rainbow screen, none can actually get into the OS. I've tried to replace partition with boot zip around here, to no avail. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?
Also, when trying to restore 1.2 or 1.3, the keyboard will flash onscreen when trying to type info to register, then immediately hide; I'm unable to input text before it disappears again! Thanks for your help.
Nobody has any ideas about how to COMPLETELY format, and not get the boot loop? I can install any ROM fine, I just get stuck on the boot logo. Also, I tried the boot partition zip. Thanks in advance.
Turns out, because the keyboard was wonky, I couldn't ever get past the registering in 1.2 or 1.3, which for some reason, kept me in a boot loop after installing a different ROM. I guess, you either need to register, or bypass the Oout of Box Experience, in order to keep out of this boot loop. All fixed now!

Semi bricked?

Last night after a good night of working with my tablet out on the job I came home and noticed it was running a little sluggish so I rebooted it. It then proceeded to hang on the bootloader screen. I tried flashing into recovery and wiping and reinstalling but it still stays hung up on the bootloader screen. Getting into the recovery boot loader it says the secondary kerlel akb has an issue or something. Is there a way to Odin this thing back to stock? It's not totally bricked I can still get into recovery just can't get it to boot into the second kernel or whatever it means. I can get the exact terminology if someone needs it but I have been bricked worse than this before its just weird it won't fix itself after I re install a new ROM.

I am on the Skillraz V8 boot loader to be exact, and thats the first screen it gets stuck on..
I just tried flashing a stock un rooted ics zip but it still hangs on the first screen after rebooting after the install, which seemed to take ok... and it doesnt change my recovery or anything back to stock.
