have a nook with CM7 installed on it. was going return my nook to stock to give it to my little sister, but when i went to install the stock stuff back on it got stuck in a loop. It won't boot from an uSD card with clockwork on it and when I tried the 7 hard boot in a row trick, it didn't do anything. Did i really brick the thing? or can it be recovered?
I attached to shots of the screen i get when i power it on normally and the other when i try to go into recovery mode.
I answered that in the other thread that you posted the same question on.

Hi there,
I am a newie when it comes to tech and some time ago i decided to purchase a nook and root as a full tablet.
I installed Phiremod Rom V5 and everything worked fine. Yesterday i updated the Rom to Phiremod V6.2 and my power button stop working.
After reading some threads i decided to factory reset my nook and went to CWM mode via the rom manager. Then i choose the options factory reset and now the screen is stuck in CWM mood. I cannot turn off, reset or do anything with my nook.
It would be much appreciated if someone could help me out cuz u don't know what to do and i cannot take it back to Barnes and Nobel for repairing...
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
You're going to have to. You have a hardware failure. That power button is completely faulty, I had the same thing happen to me. Restore it to stock (do your best, it took me a few hours to get it back with that faulty button) and call barnes and nobles. Otherwise you're just going to have problems.
Well the thing is that i don't know how to turn my nook on without pressing the power button. I have to wait until the battery is completely drained and it will turn off automatically but turning it back on into Clockworkmod is the complicated part. I can't send the nook to BN with no rom installed.
How did you manage to recover the stock rom???
Thanks in advance.
If the nook is off, and you plug it into a charger it will turn on. You have to get the stock image from the Development section of these forums.
As far as getting into CWM with out the power button, CWM bootable sd card would be your best bet.
Don't panic
Here's what u have to do, let the battery run out first, it will automatically turn off.
To turn it on, just connect charger,it will take some time to start.
Try CWM again or Use a bootable CWM sd card to restore your nook to stock or see if it can be done via adb.
Take your nook back to B&N (coz this seems like a hardware fault).
Thanks a lot
I already created a bootable sd card with CWM and am still waiting for the battery to drain out completely. I find it so interesting that all this happened within 12 hours of installing the new Phiremod Rom.
I will try to wait and see how it works after the recovery.
Only another short question. I am currently studying in Europe but coming back home for a couple of days and then i have to leave again. How are the people in BN and are they going to tell me to wait until they fix it or give me a new one???
Thanks for all your help guys. I can finally relax now
I had a kinda similar scare yesterday. For me I just couldn't get the power button to do anything, and apparently it wasn't a hardware fault. I ended up getting it to work by using a bootable CWM SD and having the power cable unplugged. When I tried with the power cable plugged in I got no response. I don't really know how easy battery access is on the nook, but that's something to think about for a hard reset. Good luck!
Had been running CM7 Mirage Kang on my Nook Color internal memory for the past few days. Than last night I rebooted into recovery and since than it will not go to recovery nor CM7. It show Cyanogenmod loading for maybe 20 seconds and than nothing screen blanks out.
Than I loaded into CWM via SD card. Wiped and formatted everything. Re-installed CM7 & Gapps, but no progress. It does same thing.
When I look at mounts & storage via CWM it appears that Nook doesn't even see emmc. Look at the pictures below.
Any help appreciated.
When the boot image first shows up, hold the n button until the boot menu shows up. Then choose boot to emmc. I think the boot to recovery flag is set, so no matter what you do it tries to boot to recovery and it sounds like recovery is borked. If you get it working, go to ROM Manager and flash a new recovery.

Wow I was afraid many people will tell and argue about everything but what I needed to know.
Your message was short and straight to the point. Thank you very much.
What's funny is that I knew about the Boot Menu and had been messing with it all morning with no success. Somehow after reading your post tweaking with the Boot Menu within few minutes I am back in business.
Now I am able to see format/ emmc on the CWM again like before. So I was able to format/ emmc for a full wipe clean install.
Thank again.
I flashed the nook tablet firmware on my nook color, after a stressful day at work and not realizing what forum I was downloading roms from. All i get is a black screen, I have tried flashing recovery images with no success. Has anyone else done this and recovered?
Have you tried this?

Yea. I don't get any power at all to the screen. I have tried to flash cm7 recovery roms also with no success.

Tried using a CWM Bootable SD? Link
And also repartitioning the Nook by following this.
You might want to try holding the power button for a full 15 seconds... release it... and hold it again for a few seconds and see if it turns on then.

That is not supposed to be possible. There are assert checking codes in the zips to prevent that. How did you do it? Are you sure you have a nook color? The nook color has a black bezel and the nook tablet has a silver one.
Edit: I just looked at the CM9 alpha for the Tablet. It does not have an assert check in it. So I guess it is possible.
I recommend going to my tips thread linked in my signature and making the 5.5.0.4 CWM card. I would boot to that and wipe /system. That is where most of the files get put by the Tablet CM9 zip. The problem is going to be /boot. Some of the Tablet boot files are named the same as nook color, but are entirely different. (mlo, u-boot.bin). You need to get rid of those. Ordinarily flashing a new rom will replace those, but not sure they will now. You have two choices. Use adb to access /boot and remove the files. That takes a little expertise. Or you could use an older CWM (3.2.0.1 or older) card to wipe /boot (that option was removed in the new version, with good reason.) Ordinarily I tell people to never wipe boot because it wipes the CWM stored there too. But in your case you need to get rid of those tablet files.
EDIT 2: I just did some more research and all of the Tablet ROMs I could find did have assert checks in them. That one I referenced above was one I manually modified to install on a bootable SD. So I am having difficulty figuring out how you flashed a tablet ROM to your color. Since you have not responded to this post, I assume you figured it out, gave up, or were wrong.

I just flashed the newest build to my Nook Color and now the device will not turn on at all. I tried holding down 'power', 'n', as well as 'power', 'n', and 'volume +' and nothing happens. There is no flash on the screen - it is just blank. The device is fully charged, it just won't turn on. I have tried several times (and over several days) to try and turn it on, but to no avail. Any advice?

The NC will not try to turn on unless there are valid boot files in either the boot partition or an SD. Obviously your boot files are corrupted. Try booting with a bootable SD to see if you can get it to turn on. The battery must also be charged.

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.

I'm posting this because I need some help with my Nook Color. I've had it since August of 2011 and rooted it right away. I didn't have any major issues until this past week when I tried to flash a new ROM. The ROM initially loaded up fine, but when I tried to boot back into recovery to flash GAPPS, as per the instructions of the ROM developer, my Nook got stuck at the "Cyanogen Loading...." screen. It would not get past that point. I held the power button down to shut off, then held the power + N to manually boot into recovery, but it would just stay at "Booting into recovery...." and stay there. I have searched all over the Nook Color section and can not find anything that addresses this issue.
I tried loading ADB, but I can't get my PC to see my Nook to load the appropriate drivers. I was running CWM recovery. I am attaching a few pics of my screen so people can see what I'm talking about.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
David

The problem is you are in a recovery bootloop and your recovery is missing or corrupted. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and look at item A8.
