Short Version: My Nook died while in use and will only boot from the SD. I've found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353 link stating a fix but after the last couple days experiences want to ake sure this is the ost current fix, I've found no other.
*Long version. Been running CM7 nightlies, experienced a bunch of SODs so I wiped cache and Dalvik. That sent me into a Recovery boot loop. Found an old thread, tried stated fix which fubar'd the Nook. Booted from SD, flashed Clockwork, flashed CM7 n143 and it booted, formated card through CM7 settings, restored my card then apps through titanium and while browsing with Opera the nook "died", black screen. Charged and after a bunch of searching found I can boot fro SD, albeit with a hasty version of honeycomb.
Thanks for any help restoring my favorite device.
Don't know what combo I did, but fought this all day. Boot loops were the common problem of today.
Used nook-completer-restore-1.0.1.zip, recoveryfix-3.0.28.zip then update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed.zip on a bootable sdcard. Then updated back to the the current cwm version and nightly after finally getting cm7 to boot.
Your boot partition was borked. In the future Google "dummies guide to my nook wont boot" its a tutorial on fixed corrupted boot parts here on xda.
ok so after 3 days of trying, i keep getting stuck on a boot-loop I am asking for some help.
before I begin, I have successfully rooted and installed cm7 on 2 nooks that came factory 1.2,I have searched google and these forums but can't find anything with my specific needs.
I have followed the directions on this thread to a tee:

i am using a bootable cwm card (2GB) (cwm version 3.0.2.8)
after installing ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip then ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip I remove the sd card and reboot and I get a boot-loop with the "n color" screen animation. It has not booted successfully yet.
I have already used the 8 failed boots method to restore to factory and re-registered the nook.
Then I redid everything again and im back at the boot-loop.
any ideas
i do not have an answer but this answers my question of whether I want to run manual nooter on my 1.3 or try cm7. the cm7 steps seems more intimidating
Well i tried several more times last night with no luck. Then i got brave and just wiped everything (data,system,cache,dalvick) then flashed cm7 and gapps straight from my cwm boot card. I somehow
Ended up with a fully functional nook. App market works. Rebooted several times to be sure. I even tried usb host with my homemade adapter. Mouse, keyboard, and sandisk cruzer all work splendidly thru a powered hub.
My only mistake was i cant find my backup of stock 1.3 rom. Is there one floating around?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to go from CM to 1.3, correct?
From what you've described, I suspect Clockworkmod 3.0.2.8 is your problem. If you look carefully as you format /data in preparation for reloading the BN 1.3 firmware, I think you'll see that the format is actually failing. That version of CWM doesn't handle the partitions correctly.
You want 3.2.0.1. See the edits at the top of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735
If you're already on CM7.1, you probably have the correct version of CWM installed. You can save yourself a step by formatting the /data and /system partitions using that, then continuing on with the rest of the procedure for restoring BN 1.3. I went through all this myself a few days ago while preparing to go to BN 1.4.1.
I forgot to mention in my last post that i realized i was using the wrong cwm image and i burned another card with cwm 3.2.01.
I was still getting a boot-loop so i wiped everything and went straight to cm7.

I didn't read your post correctly.
I had a stock nook that i want to install cm7 on. Not the other way around. I asked about a stock 1.3 file just in case i need to do a restore. The nook is done. Its running cm7 just fine and i have given it back to my friend.
I really need to get myself one :-(
I usually mess around with my sons but he's at his mothers for the weekend with it. After christmas im getting one. Dont know if it'll be a color or a nook tablet but im getting one for sure!

If you intended to install CM7 from beginning, then why you wasted time messing around with ManualNooter?
Im still rather new to working on nooks. I thought that it was required to use manual nooter first. Im still not sure.
Can someone clarify for mr. If i just bought a nook and i want cm7 on it, whats the best procedure?

The only boot loop issue I'm aware of is related to Adobe AIR and Flash. The fix is to uninstall them and then reinstall from Market.

I hope you do use Windows at some points.
Let's put it this way.
You bought a PC with Windows XP pre-installed, get home, you don't want XP, so you install Windows 7 on the PC. You just whack the XP.
Same theory applied here, B&N shipped their NC out with the original stock ROM, which is Froyo-based OS. You want to install CM7, which is Gingerbread-OS ROM. You just whack the stock and install CM7.
oh I get it know. so its pretty easy if you want to go straight to cm7 just wipe and flash.
After reading some posts from the nook tablet section, i guess i'm getting a nook color.
what a shame about the locked bootloader :-(
i didnt technically solve the boot loop issue, i just erased everything, but should I mark this as solved and if so how?
The current Nook Color bootloader is not locked. The Nook Tablet's is. I wouldn't necessarily rule anything out, though. The bootloader on the Motorola Droid 2 is also locked, and there's quite an active Cyanogenmod community around it. The only problem is that we're stuck with whatever kernels B&N release, so ICS may be a long way off. I suspect the NC will remain the tuner's machine of choice, but the performance on the NT is very nice. If you can live with a rooted B&N ROM, it's a nice device for now.

No, it seems that some 1.3 based NC units will bootloop if 4.6.16 is used to root them. I'm not sure why. Even after repartitioning to original nook partition sizes, or using CWM 3.2.01 (which supports the new partitioning), it'll still bootloop if 4.6.16 is used. Might be because of the different kernal included, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure. They root fine with 4.5.18. Haven't tried one with the new 1.4.1 compatible nooters.
To the original poster;
I'm having the same problem here, installed 4.15 successfully, installed 4.16 and am getting stuck in boot loop at the rainbow nook color screen.
I'm not understanding the 8 boot fail procedure though. Is this when you let the boot loop run through 8 times or when you get to the point of when the boot loop starts, shut the NC off and power it back on?
Also, to install cm7, all you did was put it on your sd card, and installed it through cwm?
The 8 boot method if i recall correctly is when you boot the nook and wait until the splash screen shows up immediately hold the power button and shut it down. Repeat 7 more times. If you did it correctly it should take over and do a restore on its own.
If you want to go straight to CM7 I dont think you need to go thru with this procedure because if you create a bootable cm7 card and insert it in your nook while its off then power up, it should boot you into cwm recovery. Once in the recovery you can flash cm7.

Thank you good sir! I was stuck in boot loop forever and couldn't find a clean explanation of the 8 boot fail process. I always tried to turn it off when the rainbow nook color screen came up.
I got it reset, made a flashable CWM SD card with 3.2 and then flashed CM7 on there and it works great!!
That was very frustrating, thank you!
Dont mention it, Glad to here I was able to help you out. I felt the same way when I was in that situation. Lots of googling to get a clearer idea on what that 8 boot method entailed. CM7 really makes it feel like a totally different device.
To all the devs that work on these projects, thank you

can anyone tell me what im doing wrong here
and the plot thickens... so i did the 8 failed manual reset, and rebooted to stock, repeated process.. im out of bootloop but it appears the touch screen doesnt work anymore???
yeah so no matter how many times i 8 fail reset still no touch screen, all other buttons work, tried reinstalling clockwork and nothing...i bought the insurance, do i need to run it over cause im outta ideas, my first thought was ui was missing file but it should go back if i reset shouldnt it???
just shoot me..please
ok back to stock, re root, boot loop again, re stock , cm7 (update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed) + gapps (gapps-gb-20110307-signed) and now application setup wizard has stopped unexpectedly.....stuck...thoughts? please am i over thinking/looking something
day two...
i created sd boot img with cwm 3.2.08, im seeing that i need to use cwm 3.2.01 in a few places.. when i get the file from clockwork (recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.1-encore) and try to write the image to the sd card something is wrong, its not a format that the windows recognizes and so i cant add zips to it and i get nothing in the nook. ive tried to reformat from the pc and in an old android phone i have but its always the same when i try to write to sd , is this the wrong image, can i find it somewhere else
i am using same 8gb sd card i made first boot disk out of, do i need to use a new one??
i got it to work i have good cwm 3.2.01 on nook...

ok it seems that cwm 3.2.0.8 was definitely my problem, i switched to recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.1-encore which i got from http://tinyw.in/0Vw
problem remains that when i flash man nooter 18 then 16 i get nothing, I was stuck on "n" load screen not even a boot loop
i then pushed cm7 again and i am operating as a full android tablet, i want the stock nook image with gapps can anyone help.. im leaving be till i get a answer, didnt want to update to 1.4 or downgrade to 1.2 havent seen a stock img of 1.3 anywhere
Hello,
I was running one of the CM9 nightlies and decided to try one of eyeballer's with OpenGL, and was able to make the switch without any problems, but after a while wanted to go to a non-openGL build and after flashing it my Nook won't boot past the loading screen.
I have a 1GB card with CMW which I'm able to boot to, I've tried wiping data, format boot and format system and reinstalling one of the builds that had previously worked, but still get stuck on Cyanoboot's loading screen. Even tried going back down to CM7 to see if that helped, but stuck on that loading screen as well.
What am I missing here? I've formatted boot, system, cache, data, everything, but the issue persists.
Any suggestions as to how I can make my Nook come back to live.

Well, for one thing, never format boot.
After trying cm7, you still get cyanoboot? It should have changed to the green cyanogenmod logo. If not then your flashes are not working.

After flashing CM7 I get the green boot screen, but my Nook also gets stuck on that loading screen.
When flashing CM9 I can press the ''N'' button and scroll the available boot methods, but when I choose one I get stuck on loading again.
So on both CMs I'm getting stucked on ''loading'', which started to happen on Monday after going from one of the openGL builds to the latest non-openGL build.

Ok, that means that CWM is putting the boot files on the boot partition since they change CM7 vs CM9.
Which version is your CWM on the SD?
You can't boot to anything, not even emmc recovery? Or you just can't boot to 'normal'? Do you even have emmc recovery installed? If you don't, get the first file on this post and flash it with your CWM card. You may be in a recovery bootloop, without a recovery.

Thank you leapinlar, seems like it was me having an old CWM on my boot card that wasn't helping me, installed the recovery zip and manage to boot into that from cyanoboot's loading screen and reflashed and managed to boot my Nook.
I'm still intrigue as to how this happened, do you think that when switching between openGL and non-openGL the boot partition got corrupted or something? I've been flashing many roms for almost a year and had never had this issue happen to me before.
Thanks a million for taking time to help me, you're a life saver.

It's possible your recovery somehow got corrupted during the flash. If that happens, it does not clear the recovery boot flag and it keeps trying to boot to recovery and it can't because it is corrupted. And it just bootloops forever.
Also, make sure your CWM bootable card is a recent version. If you have a newer nook and an old CWM and you try to clear data, it fails and you have a mess.
Hi, I am totally new at this but I been having a nook color for over a year now and been running CM7 on it for the longest time. Tonight I wanted to put CM9 on and for whatever I did now I just can't seem to get pass the Cyanoboot screen. Doesnt matter what I do it just gives me a blank screen and stays there. What do I gotta do to fix it or get rid of this cyanoboot and back to CWM so i can re flash everything. Any help would be great. Thanks

Try flashing latest CM7 then CM9 over the top. Might want to format Data and wipe caches in between.

Try using my bootable CWM card in my tips thread in my signature. It works fine under ordinary circumstances, but I have been wanting someone to try it to see if it gets you out of that bootloop.
Edit: Just a question out of curiosity. When you finished flashing that new ROM with your CWM, were you able to reboot from CWM normally using the menu choice? Or was there some lockup or something where you had to reboot from CWM by hard powering off?

Just follow the directions in the thread to make the card. Then put it in the nook and try booting. If it boots to CWM, just use it to flash like DizzyDen said. And when you exit, use the menu to choose re-boot.
PS, the hard powering off caused the problem. CWM was not able to clear the recovery flag and you ended up in a recovery bootloop. Let me know if my card boots.

Thank YOU for testing my card and proving that gets you out of the recovery bootloop you were in.
You need to take one more step. You need to put a new CWM back on your internal memory so it is there ready for the next time you want to install a ROM. If you go back to my tips thread, there is a link to a new flashable CWM zip (version 5.5.0.4) that can be put on your internal memory. The link is in item B1. Just download that zip file, then boot one more time to my bootable CWM card and install that zip. You should not need my card anymore after that unless you get in a bootloop again.
I've had something similar going on. I believe my nook has been using the EMMC to boot. It was on CM7. I grabbed the latest open GL CM9 because I plan on giving this to my parents. I wanted them to be able to use the TWC TV/DVR app which only works on ICS. I am stuck in a loop where it keeps going to recovery and neither flashing cm9 again nor recovering to an old back up is working. Is the recovery SD card the suggested method for fixing this? I'm not stuck in a loop but I am stuck and having to go into recovery every boot.
For awhile, the N menu gave me both EMMC and SD card boot options. Now it only has EMMC ones.

You could try the new CWM SD. Just make sure when you finish using CWM to exit from that by using the 'reboot' choice in the menu. Do not just hard power off.

So slap the image on a clean SD card and boot up from it. After it's done and I hit reboot, what would I do to get back to CM7 or CM9? I haven't had to do something like this yet. Any time I've had issues, I've been lucky enough to go back to a saved clockwork backup and restore things back to how they should be

First thing I would try is just to exit the new CWM via the menu to see if it gets you out of the bootloop. Retry booting without the SD in. If it will still only boot to recovery, I would again boot to my CWM and flash the new recovery to emmc. Next I would try to restore your old nandroid backup with the new CWM. If none of that works, flash a new CM to emmc with the new CWM.
I have a Nook Color that I've used for some time with CyanogenMod 10.2 with no problems. Last night I was looking at the fixes for Netflix since CM currently has a problem with it, and followed the instructions on XDS for the xposed installer (loading Liquid64's NetflixHackPersist.zip). Things appeared to go fine, and it booted into CM again and I ran the app as instructed. Everything seemed fine up to that point.
But on rebooting, the Nook will not go past the Cyanboot screen. Whether I let it boot by itself, or go to the boot menu and select any of the emmc or SD card options, it just sits there saying it's 'loading xxx' whatever option I've selected and never gets past it. I cannot find a way to force it to boot to the SD card to try anything that way.
I've tried 2 SD cards, reformatted and reburned an 8gb clockwork 3.0.2.8 image to make them bootable...so I don't think it's a card problem.
I'd appreciate some help if anyone knows a way around this. I've had experience with rooting and loading from the SD card, but if it always gets to Cyanoboot and I can't get it to even boot the SD card, I'm stuck. (The 8-reboots trick doesn't seem to work..I've likely reworked too much to still do that.)
Thanks,
JT

Hallelujah! I followed your link and (though what I saw suggested trying CWM 5.5.04 for CM 10.2) it WORKED!! It booted to the SD card from Cyanboot, and I had a CM 10.2.1 zip that I was able to install and I'm back in business.
Out of curiosity, is Cyanoboot something unremovable, meaning I can never simply boot straight to an SD card as in the past? It did let me get to the recovery on this SD card, so I guess Cyanoboot was actually working and my problem was something else...but if I simply did a factory reset and wiped everything, would that have removed Cyanoboot as well?
If anyone has suggestions, I'm trying to decide if I'll keep this thing or sell it, so I'm curious what the most fully functional ROM (CM or ?) is considered to be these days, if I didn't put it back to stock?
I've loved this Nook, and only got into the earlier predicament because I thought, if I sold it, a buyer might want to use Netflix...so I was hoping to have it working with a ROM that would please the average Joe user who might hit up Youtube, Netflix, etc.
Thanks for the help!

I've loved this Nook, and only got into the earlier predicament because I thought, if I sold it, a buyer might want to use Netflix...so I was hoping to have it working with a ROM that would please the average Joe user who might hit up Youtube, Netflix, etc.
Thanks for the help!
