[Q] Completely Bricked? Nook Color - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I get the Cyanogen logo, with the text "loading" or "booting into recovery..."
that is all
it does not go further than that, so I can't get adb to recognize it. Help?!?

Having the exact same problem with multiU-boot v1.2 running Phiremod 7.1 & B&N 1.2 on a dual boot setup from eMMC. Any insight greatly appreciated!

Any ideas what to do?
Thanks in advance!

Nook for sure is a very "lively" forum!

It's the weekend... Or ppl don't have an answer.
By multi color logo, do you mean the green n book logo, the initial cm7 boot name or the default blue Android guy with the spinning circle?

[Q] What is the latest Cyanoboot?

Where do I get it and how to install it? I was running Mirage 7.2 and trying to upgrade to PA. It looks like I have Cyanoboot installed, but I can't get to menu. Can somebody help?
Thanks

It comes with and gets installed with the ROM. And it is just like the earlier bootloader, hold the n key.

Your n key works, right? And don't press too soon, wait for instructions to do it. It may be corrupted. Reinstall.

n key does work I just can't get it to show menu. Is there any other way to get to recovery?

Yes, but if your n key is not working, I'm not sure this will work. Just hold power and n at the same time while booting. It should go directly to recovery.
You should also be able to boot to recovery from inside CM10 or PA by using the power off menu. After you select reboot, a second menu comes up to ask if normal reboot or reboot to recovery.

Thank you for reply
n key works in rom itself, so I assume it should work when nook starts. When nook starts and push n key, nook displays "loading menu" and that is it.
Any other ideas?

Did you try the other method of power and n?
It could be that cyanoboot is corrupted. Reflash the PA rom.

power and n works because I have to do it in order to restart NC. It gets frozen when I try to get to cyanoboot menu.
I installed SCHIZOID and moved from CWM to TWRP recovery and still have issues. Do you think I need to try wiping boot partition? I was going to try in stall CM10.1.
Thanks.

Be very careful about wiping /boot. If you do, be sure to flash a new ROM before you reboot. You can mess yourself up good if you don't. Another thing to try is my partition repairs in my partition thread linked in my signature. But if you do that you lose you media files, so back them up. That will fix boot. Do the 145678 zip.

I thank you for your efforts and documented guide. I followed it and reflashed modded recovery at 300 mb size.i redid the recovery on my known memory card as well. Despite two cards with modded recovery,it still fails to show up any sign of life. What you suggest,thanks again.

Not really sure what you did by your description. But if you burned a card with one of my CWM images and that card failed to cause the NC to turn on or boot, that may mean the card was not burned properly. There are many things that can go wrong when burning that make the card unbootable. Look at my item A9 in my NC Tips thread linked in my signature.

You are sure it is a Nook Color rather than a Nook Tablet? A Tablet has a silver bezel.

The only way that I know is to get a CWM SD to boot. And you can't seem to get that to happen.
Did you try plugging the USB into your PC while the CWM SD is inserted?

[Q] Anything like repart.img for color like the tab

Nook color stock stuck on failed update. Can't get the 8 restarts to work and can't get into any recovery cmw or trwp. Can get the repart for nook tablet to come on screen with x in top right corner instead of green check. Have tried all leapner files and instruction with no avail.

If you read my Tips thread you would know the 8 failed boot reset does not work unless you have stock recovery still installed.
And don't use Nook Tablet repart, it will mess up a nook color as the partition structure is very different.
Are you sure it is a Nook Color instead of a Nook Tablet?

Rooted Nook HD+ Wont Boot from any SD

After I flashed my HD+ to the stock rooted rom I had noticed that my bluetooth keyboard was not compatable with the stock nook OS but worked fine with CM. I stuck the bootable SD in and it would not boot, I thought maybe this might be a problem with the sdcard well 5 sdcards later it still wont boot, this problem did not start until i flashed firmware 2.1.1 rooted on there. Is there anyways to get clockworkmod back on this device? If so is there a link anywhere to a flashable image and the name of the partition I would flash it to. I still see cyanaboot when i boot up but holding the N key to access the menu does nothing either. Thanks in advance

There is no menu in the cyanoboot screen. To reset your device do the 8 failed boot procedure. Just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by holding the power button until it turns off. On the 9th boot let it complete and it will reset itself to pure stock. Then you can start over.

The only way you are going to be able to mod the device any further is to get an SD to boot. Did you try the new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature?
