Hello Noob here.
Yesterday I decided to sell my Nook Color on Craigslist since I rarely use it now. Well, today, the buyer wanted me to set it back to original stock which I agreed to thinking it would be a piece a cake. Wrong! Now I have potentially bricked my Nook Color and here I am at this forum praying that someone will be able to assist.
Here's some information on what I have and what I did and what is happening now:
I went into Clockwork Recovery and tried Restore Factory. At which point it said something like "could not locate /cache/log_in.log
I have Clockwork 3.0.0.6.
Then it got stuck on the N screen after "The feature of reading."
After getting frustrated for hours, I got desperate and downloaded a zip file named something like "stock rom 1.2 rom signed" and installed it using Clockwork.
Now I'm stuck on the "Read Forever" screen..... and can't even access Clockwork!!
Is there any hope to fix my Nook Color? I just would like to have it operational again, whether it be stock or rooted.
Okay, I just made a bootable ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.1, but am struggling to find a stock rom file since most of the links in guides I've come across do not work. Help me!
Never mind. After hours of painful research, I've managed to update it to 1.4.2 and remove CMR after. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Hi, i hope the answer to this is not anywhere else. I cannot recover my nook simple touch (glowlight). Here is what i did
1) I tried to root the device with this guide (not knowing that this is not for glowlight version)
http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch/Rooting
-> the process stopped at the instructions page and i rebooted
-> after that the device did this endless loop where i think it reboots during the moving dots
2) When i found out that i should have used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675706
I followed that procedure as well but the device did not boot as it should after the installation of glownooter-1-5-26.zip
3) Then i found the guide to do the 8x reboot recover which did not work (or I did something wrong)
4) as everything failed I tried the reboot recover from CVM framework which resulted in a page saying: install failed
So my question is: is there a way to still recover my device? what can i do? if i missed some inportant info, plz ask.
Thx for any help

I'm in a similar situation with a bricked nook glow that won't get past "install failed" screen. Tried both methods described in the page you linked, but neither worked.
Is there anything else that can be done to revive the device? I tried almost every method I could find in the forums....
TIA
no glowlight

I had absolutely the same case. had to do unrooting with the software 1.1 that I guess was from nook without glowlight. Unrooting went fine, but the glowlight function is not working anymore. does your glowlight function work properly?

Hey guys,
It seems I may be one of those .01% that have completely bricked my NOOK COLOR (though I sincerely pray not).
I have tried everything I can find on here and each time it tells me that it has installed properly - Then, when I try to reboot, it just takes me back to CM Recovery v3.0.2.8
What have I done and is it fixable?
Thank you so much for the service you provide to "dummies" like me!!

First you need to upgrade that 3.0.2.8. It is too old. You can get version 5.5.0.4 on my tips thread linked in my signature. If that does not fix it, look at my section on recovery flag bootloops. If that does not fix it look at my partition repair thread. Do them in that order.
OK, here's my Beavis and Butthead moment for the week:
I finally got around to running / booting cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd.img from my flash card a couple of nights ago. Once I got it up and running I was looking around through the available programs on it and ended up running a flash upgrade utility on it that went out to the internet and downloaded some "upgrade". It asked me if I knew for sure what I was doing and like an idiot I hit YES. Now the touchscreen doesn't work at all. I've tried running / installing all kinds of things like :
bn_142_factory_recovery.zip
cm10_121208_acclaim_sd_hd.zip
cm-10-20121219-NIGHTLY-encore.zip
They all seem to run from SD OK but still no touchscreen function.
My new Nook specifics WERE : model number BNTV250 software version 1.4.3 when I got it a few days ago.
Is anyone here familiar enough with cm10-121208_acclaim_sd_hd.img who can tell me what flash utilities are on it? Or maybe tell me how to fix my Nook if possible?
Any help greatly appreciated.
You have a Nook Tablet. This is the Nook Color forum. There is a specific forum for the Nook Tablet. You'll get better help there.

Sorry, thanks for the info.
So I have a Nook Simple Touch tablet. My dad tried to root it but either bricked it or something else. It is flashing at where it says "Nook by Barnes & Noble" and it keeps flashing between the first two dots of the five and does that non stop. If somebody could tell me what that means and how I can fix it in Lame Mans terms because this is my first experience with a Nook. Thank You

The easiest way?
Use method 2.
http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock
This will format your nook and restore it to stock image. All data will be lost but your nook should get better.
After the procedure check what firmware version you have installed and if it's not 1.2.1 upgrade it using instructions on B&N site.
Thanks I will try this when I get home.
