I had this recycler virus, it made its home on all my storage devices, that's why I formatted all of my usb drives, sd cards and my Nook internal storage to be safe.
It works, I even managed to install Glownooter but the problem is that this screen always prompts me to restart the system.
"YOUR NOOK HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO RESTART"
I have used images to restore to factory firmware, and tried Glownooter and I said and they work on the background but that message won't allow me to do anything, except restarting it or powering it off. If I restart it keeps appearing. Also tried to restore the deleted files but it wasn't
possible, perhaps the software wasn't good I don't know.
Thanks in advance.
When I've seen this message, and reset, occur it's been because my device registration and what BN has stored don't agree, so BN deletes the token on their side and resets my device. Took me a frustrating few nandroid restores of an NC to understand
I don't know that this is what is happening to you, but if you let the device reset, reregister with BN, and then root it and use it (without reimaging it) - does the message recur? It may not, or you may have tried it and it does recur in which case I apologize for asking a silly question.

Whenever I reset it the message keeps appearing, it won't let me go to another screen either to reregister or to do a factory reset.
I followed the advice of a guy in a similar situation, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24537458&postcount=6
I did what he did and eventually ended up stuck on "YOUR NOOK IS STARTING UP". Then I tried the N2T recovery by ros87, and no avail. It still stuck on the "READ FOREVER" screen. I think it's at least a progress but I wish I could manage to fix it.
Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it and I have faith that I this situation will be resolved. More input is more than welcomed.

I'm in a similar situation: did a backup (which I tought to be complete) and rooted succesfully.
Then I tried to go back to stock with my backup to learn it was partially good and I bricked the Nook.
Now I can't get past the "installation failed" screen and I don't know how to revive it. I've tried almost every solution posted to xda and still stuck.
Let me know if you find a solution, pls.

Hi.
I have a serious problem using my Nook Touch.
I imported my Nook the last November.
As soon as it arrived at my house I rooted it and then after using it for a week I decided to make it back to the default factory state using the backup I had made before rooting.
I think the unrooting itself was successfully done but when I try to boot my Nook up, I can not get though the initial setup section (the sign part), it says,
Sign in
Error
Sorry we're having trouble setting up your Nook. Please shutdown the device and try again.
If the problem persists, contact Customer Support at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).

Then I have no choice but to power it off which doesn't do anything to solve the problem.
Now I have a Nook which is completely unusable in my hands.
I have not read a single book yet after I paid an extra money to import it and waited for it to arrive for 3 weeks...
I am at a loss as to what to do now, so if you can help me in any way I would be really grateful for it.
Force reset it by shutting it down, then starting it up, and when the screen flickers press right and left bottom buttons, hold for 5+ seconds.
This will resolve the problem, if not:
Use nookRestore to restore /system (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1289233)
and then:
Update to 1.1 (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Soft...uch/379003175/)

Thank you for the reply.
I am sorry, I forgot to mention that I used both the forcefully reset option and the nook restore software, both of them did not change anything.
And it seems that you can not update your firmware unless you completed the initial setup.
So virtually I can not do anything right now.
Just do a data reset (the forced one) without the restore and try it.
I think you can update to the 1.1 not registering, getting into the factory mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20121721&postcount=17
and copying the 1.1 update the Nooks flash (not sdcard)
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/
Thank you for the advise!
Now I can go to the Home screen and at least can read something which I put into my Nook.
I am pretty relieved that my Nook is not complete useless.
But I still have that problem of not being able to sign in.
The same message appears every time I try to sign in or create a new account.
It would be great if I could get rid of this problem...

Try this:
Log onto the B&N website with your account (same as you try to sign in on)
Go to My Nook hover the picture and select "Erase and Deregister Device".
Now try to register from the NST again.
I'm desparate, please help!!!!
I had to do a hard reset after failing to Root my A500, that's a long story.
After the Hard Reset it has come up with a APKInstaller (All pre-install processes complete). I click OK and then it has asked me to enter your password (with the Android logo on the left had side.
I have tried all the passwords I can think of, including my Gmail password, and it just says that it is wrong.
Can someone please put me out of my misery and help????
Feel free to mock me, as long as you come up with a solution that doesnt involve taking the device back to get fixed.
Thanks in advanced
had this happened before when i tried to do the factory reset through the method of HOLDING DOWN POWER + RIGHT VOLUME BUTTON (in landscape mode) + SWITCHING THE ROTATION LOCK BUTTON. easy solution to this would perform the factory reset one more time and it'll go away
Having this issue too..
Ok.. simplified version of long (2-wk) history:
1) Initially 3.0.1 device "bricked" attempting to do a direct 3.0.1 to 3.2.1 update.. bad move and stupid of me.
2) Successfully unbricked using EUUs_SBK_Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1
3) 3.0.1 rooted, custom recovery, and updated to a 3.2.1 stock with root.. and stable for about 5 days.
4) I installed ES Task Manager and played with some settings. Shut down the device for the day (early afternoon).
5) Restarted device, boot, and was asked for a Password. -- One that I never set. None of the account (google) passwords that were on the device worked.
6) Being still somewhat fresh, I did the "unbrick" flash again and proceeded with root, recovery, and update again... stable for about 3 days.. before the Password prompt returned.
I'm now at the state that I've attempted multiple ROMs.. there is *something* not getting wiped. Now, even when I use the EUU "unbrick", the first boot is fine.. as soon as I restart though, Password.
Massive frustration.. but I'm hoping someone here might be of some help on this.
I figure the worst case.. I literally break the thing and have to use my "accident" warranty.. but I'd really rather not do that.
Any ideas?

Do a clean flash directly to 3.2.1 rooted. Then don't install anything for a few days and see if your problem is gone. It should be fixed.
I've never had any problems like yours. I always use CWM to do full WIPES + FORMATS. I have used windows Directly to do about 3-4 Flashes that way. About 20-30 Flashed ROM's thru CWM Recovery (20-30 -not ever cuz of problems).
Best i can say is Next Time do it THRU CWM Recovery and WIPE (3) + FORMAT (4) = 7 commands to say "YES" to before Installing a CUSTOM ROM. I've messed arround a lot and have hard time BRICKING or having any messed up ROM INSTALLS.

No problem, but, I have to "mock" you a little Because in over 350+ flashings for testings, etc, I have never had this happen, nor have I ever had to use the "pinhole" (knock on wood)
And that "password".... hint, there is no password that will work. The issue, is that you have a big mess internally when booting, and the OS doesn't know what else to do, so it gives you that dialog.
And you're not the first person to have this happen to.
My question, is WTH did you do to get yourself into this mess? And the reason I ask, is that others have done the same thing. So perhaps it would be best to give the "Long Story". This may be useful to others and serve as a reference point.
TimmyDean has a tool for unbricking devices. From what I've seen, it works well 90% of the time. So you should listen to him. There's also one other unbrick master, but haven't seen him around for awhile.
I rooted my NTG using the NookManager a while back. I didn't have any problems and really hadn't used my NTG until recently. However, today I went to use it and couldn't access the B&N Shop. I proceeded to do an erase and deregister assuming it would just unroot and I could go back to normal. However, now when I go through the registration process at start up I get:
"ERROR: Sorry we're having trouble setting up your NOOK. Please shutdown the device and try again." In the bottom left corner it says "B-bind failure."
I called B&N and they deregistered my device for me. I figured that would fix it, but it still did not. The only thing I can think of was that somehow my serial number is different after the root? Any thoughts on fixing this? I've seen others fix it with a hard reset, but that hasn't worked for me.
Problem solved. I finally managed to interrupt the power cycle 8 times in a row and the original firmware was reinstalled successfully!
Hi, i bought a NST and i rooted it a month ago.
Yesterday i decided to factory restore, because it began to get stucked on any screen.
I took the micro sd card with te nook manager and i restored to factory zip.
The first time it get stucked on loop when it finished the restoring process and then it restart to enter to the restoring process again for almost an hour.
Next i tried to restore the backup and it worked almost well but it remained stuck at the end of restoring.
After almos 30 minutes i decided to restart the nook and voila! it works and begin the screen saying that i need to register and everything, but the touchscreen doesn't work.
I restarted it, almost 10 times but i can´t even unlock the screen. i think that maybe on the restoring and reset it doesnt install the drivers of the IR sensors, but I can´t make it work.
In this moment I´m making again the restore but it's taking almos 30 minutes in the last part of the restoring screen.
Anyone could help to me?
Sorry for my english, I still working on it.
Felipe

Generally speaking, if the NookManager factory restore doesn't fix the problem, you're in trouble.
However, since you at least are booting up okay, there might be hope. Perhaps not, though.
Let me know what happens after that reset you mentioned was in processing, and we'll go from there.
Finally, the restoring screen never ends, so, I made a manual reset and magic! The touch worked!
Thanks!!!!
Hey !
I have a nook simple touch for a long time. It was modified software and worked very well.
Recently, when I tried to charge him after a long break, he warmed up a lot. I opened the case and unplug the battery.
When he cooled down I connected everything again and there was a problem: Installing rom ---> Install Failed
How can I restore the original software?
All my attempts end with "Install Failed!"
He probably tries to restore the software but the recovery partition can be empty. All modifications were made a long time ago and I do not remember the details

Mmm.....that warming up thing does not sound good. But if you want to try to bring the thing back to life, the simplest thing to try first would be to make a NookManager card and try the Factory Restore option. If your NST will boot from the card, then you may have good luck with that.
If that does not work, it might be possible to re-image your NST with the original US software. You can find the details and files for that here: https://sites.google.com/site/xcdguides/nook/nookregion
I've tried both of your tips.
Unfortunately, I still "instll failed". NookManager factory reset happens without effect. After restarting, continue the same
However, the second tip gives me an error in many languages.
