Sorry if this problem has already been solved(and if it has please redirect me to it)
Ok, well the problem is that my phone won't boot up past the HTC logo screen
1. I hold the power button down
2. The phone vibrates then the Rogers logo comes up
3. After a little bit the "htc" symbol appears
it just keeps repeating step 3, the "htc" symbol just fades away then fades back in.
I have taken out the battery for 10 seconds then tried it, still the same problem. I also tried taking the SIM card out and trying but still didn't work
Anyone please help me?
Do you let the power button go or keep holding it?
what where you doing previous to this?? flashing something or took out your sdcard? im assuming you are using a hero rom. if not what rom? its not close to brick at all. as long as you got boot then your good. you might have just messed up the system and might have to reflash.
Yup, thats a bootloop. Boot into recovery, wipe and reflash.

Thanks, that worked
I am currently running the CM7 nightlies off the eMMC on my Nook Color.
When the device is powered on or rebooted, when loading from the eMMC it displays three things before getting to the boot animation:
1) "Touch the Future of Reading" in portrait.
2) A quick, corrupted-looking "Loading" in portrait.
3) The word "ANDROID" with a blinking cursor behind it in landscape.
After those three items display, then it shows the boot animation (in portrait).
If I boot from SD card, none of those three boot splashes show. So I'm guessing the three boot splashes are stored internally. Maybe even in the magic /boot partition we aren't supposed to touch.
Can we change the boot splashes? If anything, I'd rather have a blank/black screen displayed instead of the three ugly splashes there are now.
Having one screen would be nice also. Something maybe that just has an Android log in portrait before the CyanogenMod animation starts.
I'm booting CM7 off uSD and I'm seeing those 3 screens. I installed multiboot so now I don't see "the future....." but a boot menu, but I still see the other two.
So, at least from reading about the Gtab, I assume NC has a somewhat similar way of doing things...
The first screen is its own partition, so you would need to figure out where that is, find the image on it, then replace it.
The second is (I think?) the command to load either recovery or boot to the rom.
The third is the kernel starting up (again, I think?). Dal probably put that there so people know what is going on, but I bet it could be removed and replaced by nothing pretty easy.
It looks like with CyanogenMod 7.1, it goes from the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen straight to the boot animation.
I tested a 4/30 build of 7.1.0 and it just flashed the screen instead of showing the "Loading" and "ANDROID." text.
So, we're almost there.
Where's 7.1?

Check app Root Tools.
U can change the Boot Animation.

I'm not interested in changing the boot animation. I want to change the static boot splash on power on.
It use to say "Touch the Future of Reading", and with the Nook 1.2 software, it says "Read Forever" or something.
The static splash may be in /boot
I'd love to get rid of those three as well...
On a sidenote, does anyone else have a REALLY long delay on the "Touch the future" screen whenever they boot up the first time after charging? Mine sits there for at least 2-3 minutes before moving on to the Loading and Android_ screens.
The Device:
Nookcolor Refurb - came with stock 1.2 installed. Rooted with CM7 - initially had boot partition problems and went back and did the fix for it. (was using an old CWR, so had to redo that, too). Worked mostly fine for a few weeks. Had a little trouble installing the recent cm7 stable update. But after clearing and redo, no problems. Then I updated Adobe flash to 10.3 through the market. bad, bad, bad. (I've discovered). It has gone into a bootloop, but it doesn't even get in far enough to bring up CWR either internally or on a bootable SD card. It brings up "loading" - whether in CM7 or CWR - then shuts itself off. I have tried the 3 button salute and 8 interrupted boots, but neither works in any way. Is there something else I can do?
Also, a side note, the device will not charge to green light - even if charging overnight. At first I thought it was a battery issue, but after a day of combing the boards, I'm thinking bootloop from hell.
Help!!!!
Are you running CM 7 internally or from a card? If internally, try making a bootable CM 7 card and booting from that.
I am running it internally. The device will not boot from a card or internally. It doesn't get far enough into the boot before it loops for CWR to start up - either internally or off the sd card. I can get to the boot menu (hold down n when it starts up), but it doesn't boot off any of the options there, just goes to black screen.
What happens when you do the 8 failed boots?
Nothing really happens with 8 failed boots. I think it terminates the boot process before it gets far enough along for it to "count". Loading comes up, I count one thousand one....all the way to one thousand seven. Then it shuts off, often reboots itself. Same deal with CWR. Loading comes up, count to 7, shuts off. I can get to the boot menu in CM7, but I it doesn't respond when I request any type of boot from anywhere. Either hangs or restarts.
I'm trying ADB, but it won't stay connected. Flicks on right at the end of the loading process and then shuts down. It really sucks.
Shelly, shoot me a pm... i'll give ya my phone number and we'll work on getting it going.
Sorry if this is redundant, but in very basic troubleshooting have you tried charging your Nook? It probably is more complicated/serious than a low battery, but it wouldn't hurt to rule it out.
I finally did get it to charge to green light. Didn't make a difference. I can get it to hang sometimes when it's trying to get into CWR. And it will stay on the Boot Menu.
Just a side note, I have another NC that I've had since Jan. Autonootered, Manual Nootered, CM7ed, brought back from the dead many a times.
Dizzy Den - am shooting you a message shortly. Thanks.
Has this been solved? If yes how?
Could you find a solution to your problem?
I'm having the same issue now. Bought a Nook Color in November, Autonooted, flashed recovery from ROM Manager, flashed CM 7.1.0 internally from downloaded ZIP files via ROM Manager, was working just fine for a week, stable, fast, perfect. Overclocked to 1200 MHz after a few days which made the experience even nicer.
Then installed and started Google Maps which didn't work - the Nook turned off on launch of Google Maps app.
I had set Wifi to "stay on all the time" beforehand (which might have been bad because it creates Sleep of Death syndrome as i now know).
Now when i turn it on it shows "Loading" for 7 seconds and then the screen turns off. This is when booting CM, when booting the internal recovery (shows "loading recovery" for 7 seconds) and when booting from any SD card image (i've tried at least 10 different bootable SD card images, different cards and different card readers).
It recognizes and tries to boot off SD cards - i get different "Loading" screens depending on the image, honey-colored for a honeycomb image, with two skulls for a recovery, ... So that works.
The nook seems to be in some kind of "on" state because i need to hold the power button to turn it off before i can get it to boot again.
I can get to the boot menu as you could, but booting from there doesn't do anything at all. So the hardware seems to be OK because the boot menu itself works well and for more than 7 seconds.
I can charge it and it goes to a green light so it's no battery issue.
The nook does not show up on USB - well once it did for a second but that was it.
I even tried to let the battery run completely empty so internal registers can get reset - didn't change anything.
Help! Is it bricked now?
Going to a B&N store isn't an option btw - the next one is 6500 km from here.
(This is the first time i ever ask for help on a forum. I am running a ZTE Blade with CM7 just fine, and I've been stuck often enough but always found a solution myself...)

Have you guys tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308304
Or completely restoring it to stock:
http://mrm3.net/nook-color-recover-any-bricked-device/
Tried, can't get far enough
Kingdruid, thanks, yes i've tried both of those links - sadly they don't help at all because i can't even boot SD card recovery images...
I tried various recovery images including the newest clockworkmod, but i am still stuck They all work for 7 seconds only.
So yes, a nook can actually be bricked it seems.

When you overclocked it, did you notice it getting hotter than usual? I wonder if it was due to the overclocking. All the users I see with unrecoverable nooks is after they overclocked.
No, i did not notice much heat. And it was working well in its overclocked state for a few days.
Do you think it's CPU is fried now?

I own 4 of them so I would prefer the term "Unbrickable", but at this point I'm not really sure.
Try 8 failed boots and see if you can get into recovery to reset to factory.
cant get it working
so first noob post
i used this thread to root my nook color
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

how did you write the image to the SD card? you can't just do the write button in winimage, you have to use the "convert virtual hard disk image to drive" or something... really should be mentioned in the n00b guides.
Sequence in winimage:
Disk->Use disk (whatever your sd card is)
Disk->Restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive (select the image you're trying to write)
Click ok on the warning and you should have a boot disk
"Write disk" is prominent but just copies the files to the disk, not resize or make it bootable.
Nope - no change
DizzyDen, nope, 8 failed boots does nothing. Just fails 8 times, no restore.

While it said, the installation automatically sets boot to 2ndinit, i had to do that manually. After switching on the phone, the led first goes to blue before red. Press volume down then, enter boot and select default boot to 2ndinit, and reboot. It should work this way but on my green lens defy it goes to the motorola logo for some time and after that comes the reboot. At least not blank screen.:good: But having it plugged to a computer, it says MB526, so something does work, but then something goes wrong...

Mine have exactly problem like this too.
Please help.
I have Defy MB525 Green Lens . I'm not sure which bootloader do I have. But my base SBF is CEE Froyo 2.2. I was performing upgrade from CM7 WhiteRabbit 1.7 to CM10 2nd-boot 21 Oct.
What should I do?
Thank you

Hey, I managed to boot up the 2nd boot built successfully.
1. Wipe Data
2. Flash Froyo signed kernel from http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/
3. Flash CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
4. Flash update_for_18.10.zip
5. Flash Google Apps
6. Wipe Data again for sure
7. Reboot
Done!

Hey guys, I have not used my nook in like 6 months now, and I decided to pull it out yesterday only to remember what had happened to it. When i try to boot it, it gets stuck at the green CM7 logo that says loading... under it. When I try to boot to recovery, it is the same screen, but it just says "booting into recovery...." I tried formatting the SD card and flashing clockwork again, no luck. I even tried a different SD card. All I got to was "loading..." If I remember correctly, when It first broke 6 months ago, I think I was trying to go back to CM7 from CM9, but I cant remember clearly. Hopefully someone knows what to do, thanks!

You are in a recovery bootloop with no recovery. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and look at items A8 and A10. I have a specially modified CWM SD that will get you out of that.
