Last night When I powered off my Nook, It Froze on Powering down.
Today It will not boot.
I downloaded Kang and ran it again and it still will not book
I need to recover the Data off the SD partition.
What Software can I run to do this?

SO here is the situation. I had my phone set up with cyanogenMOD and had just set up apps2sd. I thought Apps2sd was not running and I realized I had not partitioned the sd card the way I wanted to. I wiped the sd card repartitioned and reformatted. WHen I booted the phone all the apps on my home page were busted( gears for icons). I'm guessing that apps2sd was actually working and I just erased all my apps. Anyway I wiped the phone, reformatted the sd to 1 fat32 partition and downgraded to rc29, in order to just setup my phone from scratch. Now when I boot the phone many of the apps I had before will not install , they download and then i get an installation unsuccessful error. Oddly enough it seems to only happen to apps that i had on my phone when I messed up apps2sd.
Any thoughts on the problem. I would like too wipe and start over, but that doesn't get rid of the problem.
Is there a lower level wipe that can be done besides the factory reset?
\thanks

Did you reroot your phone. Once you load RC29 on again you loose root. Just to let you know, when you have problems like this you don't have to go back to RC29 again.
I did reroot the phone
And also, forgot to mention that after this i tried loading cyanogenMod again and it gets stuck in a loop when it boots and eventually goes to a grey screen.
Did you repartition your card again. And did you wipe (alt + w) before you loaded your rom.
I returned my card to 1 fat32 partition, and yes I did wipe.
Did you create an ext partition for your apps2sd?
no ...I wiped the phone, returned it to stock. No need for the partition. I just cannot install certain applications or the cyanogen rom
I decided to partition my SD card today because i needed more space for my apps. I used ROM Manager to do the work. Everything went fine until it booted up. Now I'm stuck on the HTC screen. I read that the boot takes a while but I've been waiting for over an hour. I've also tried to pull the battery out and restart but I'm still stuck on that same screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
I do have this problem. I have to remove the SD card in order to boot successfully and reformat it to FAT32.
what rom you use?
I used to flash whitetigerdk v0.4 and got that problem but now I downgrade to v0.3 and problem's gone
Hello,
I downloaded and installed the CM7 update this morning from my RC4 ROM. All went as they normally do when i switch ROMs, clear all cache and data, then install. It installed without error, but it got stuck in a boot loop. I had let the skateboarding android do his thing for almost 20 minutes to no avail. So i powered it off, re ran my steps and this time i got to the "touch the android to begin", but within a few seconds its back to the boot animation.
I have tried several times to re-install that ROM as well as RC4 and i can't get out of the boot loop. Some times it will give me an error that there is something wrong with the update file, and sometimes it goes right along with the install, either way it ends in a boot loop.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

EDIT: i said RC2, i meant to say RC4!
EDIT2: I went for RC1, and it reports (status 7), Installation aborted. Did i some how lock a part of the file system i need?
Ok I'm back up. Here is what i did after messing with it for a while;
1. backed up my SD card (mounted via recovery)
2. went into the partitions menu and formated everything but the boot section (including the SD)
3. re mounted the SD card and copied the CM7 final to it
4. Installed zip from SD
With in minutes i was back up and running
RC4 is broken. Happened to me aswell. Just download stable released yesterday
okay, let me be very clear.
i installed CM7 months ago to the internal memory, NOT SD CARD, and it was working perfectly, with no issues. The nook hasn't been used in about 2 months. It's just been sitting there, not even being charged.
Recently i went and plugged it in to charge, and 2 hours later noticed that it was stuck on ANDROID_
i've tried to boot into recovery with no luck. the last version i had installed was i believe CM7.1 final. it was NOT a RC or Nightly. i only use finals.
so again, no issues, and no it's stuck on android.
any help would be appreciated, because it's not mine, it's actually my parents and they were pissed when they found out.
if need be, i'll wipe it, but i'd much rather not to. I have it setup perfectly for them and i'd much rather not have to redo everything.
For starters if it has been on for months you definitely do not have 7.1 final (stable). That came out in October. Before starting a new I would first boot from a SD with CWR 3.2.0.0 or higher and just wipe Davlik and cache, pull the card and reboot. If that does not work, I would next wipe Davlik, cache and system and reinstall a ROM, leaving data alone. As a last resort i would do it all over again.
guess it was just 7.0 final. As i said it was so long ago i don't remember.
so i'll take the SD Card advice, really hope that will work. i put hours into this to get it setup for my parents.
Last week, following Leapinlar's updated directions, began putting latest nightly cm on the ol' nook. Thought it was okay, but then, on reboot, it just sticks on rotating "Cyanogen Mod" screen (which I take is a boot loop). I waited a long time, maybe 30 minutes, still spinning. That began my frustrating journey. Here's the deal:
Latest nightly cm, 121212 gapps. Same deal. Loads on initial boot, then it powers itself off. Next boot, android keyboard failure, sometimes trebuchet failure. But I have (bearing in mind I have gone through these steps maybe 20 times) seen some success in getting past the keyboard issues and managed to get logged into the play store. Then, on the subsequent boot, spinning splash screen forever. Try again.
Try different gapps files. Sometims I hit one that seems to be digested fairly well, sometimes pretty much all the apps begin failing on the initial cm boot (after the load boot). No matter what, still, on the second cm boot, spinning splash screen.
Try to load gapps again, maybe a different version. I do this through holding the n and going to recovery, which reinstalls the gapps (or some other file). In this case, it seems to inflate all the apps okay, then goes to a "starting apps" screen, and it sticks *there.*
I rolled back to the latest stable version, 7.2 I believe, and got it running just fine on that; ran it for a week with no glitch whatsoever. But it's not the same! I really want this thing to run the latest and greatest!
So this weekend I am back to attempting the latest nightly and I am just getting skunked. It either loops the cm splash on second cm boot (which is the first boot after I set up account, etc), or it, in the case of trying to "after install" a new gapps file, sticks at the "starting apps" screen. Oh yeah, if it does that and I do hard reboot, I stick at the cm splash spinner again. Help!
Maybe a new sd card? (but it did load 7.2 okay). Maybe factory reset to the internal? I have done the cwm alt recovery and cleaned out the caches. I have cleared the data from the android keyboard.
For SD card cm10 installation (use Sandisk class 4 or 6)
Here is LeapinLar's thread to get you started http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1941858
Get the latest CM10 nightly here http://get.cm/?device=encore
Make sure to use Gapps 20121011. Newer version will not work.
Here are the steps involved to make a bootable sd card:
Unzip the ...Rev5.zip
Use program Win32diskimager.exe to write the above unzipped image to SD card
Copy latest Cm10 nightly to sdcard (do not unzip)
Copy gapps 20121011 to SD card (do not unzip)
Safely eject SD card from computer
Turn off Nook Color
Insert SD card you created above
Turn on Nook color
Watch the Cm10 splash screen come to life.

Thank you for the response! Will run out and get a new card. will report later this P.M.
nailed it! It was the card!
Got the new class 4 micro sd card. Followed the instructions, again. Install different this time, with not a single error. On boot, it asked for google info, smoothly, all seemed right. Reboot success! Smooth as silk!. Play Store, the whole deal, perfect! YAY!
THANK YOU XDA-DEVS!
BTW, went to Office Depot for the card. Their website says 13.99 for a 4 gig card; on the shelf it was listed as 17.99. At the register I say, "Your web site has this for 13.99." So the dude does a price override on his terminal (he chose "match competitor's price" then "Office Depot website") and I got it for the lower price!
