What the heck? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i put my bootable cwm sdcard into my nook to have it boot from it, it has worked with the same sdcard on my other nook, and it just booted normally! it didnt boot to sdcard. isnt it supposed to prioritize the sdcard first?

any suggestions on how to coax it to do so? i just rewrote the image to the sdcard and it still wont boot to it...

What version of CWM is on your boot card? Some earlier versions have trouble with the later issued NCs. Also, make sure it isn't a Nook Tablet (I know, but it is amazing how many don't actually know there is a difference.)

I am positive it is a nook color... on 1.4.3 just like my other one used to be, and i am using the CWM-6.0.1.2-bootable_SD.zip from leapinlar's tips thread.

If the CWM SD booted fine in one NC and not the second, the second is not a NC. It has to be a Nook Tablet. The Tablet runs 1.4.3 also. What color is the bezel on the second device, black or silver? And what is the model number of the second device?

Its silver. But other than the bezel it looks and acts like my other one did... Maybe I'm wrond and it isn't a book color? (if so... I do apologize)

Silver means Nook Tablet. Go to NT forum, these won't work.

Highly doubting anything can help me unbrick my Nook Color[SERIOUS]

I've spent about 20 hours total trying to unbrick my nook color.
It started when I was (happily) running CM7, but I wanted to have HC preview 4 to use at times, so I decided to dual boot it. I went in to dual boot it, and it had an error. So I flashed the remove dual boot zip to reset it, then I went looking for an answer. I find that it looks like my media partition somehow got corrupt, so I go into ADB to see if I can get that working. From within adb I run "adb reboot recovery", and then it never turned on. Freaking out, I searched for an answer. I got it booting into CWM on SD, and Nookie Froyo SD. I've tried all the unbricking methods, even the advanced one that requires DDing boot.img and system.img. I got into adb from recovery and found that my partition table - I had none. So I find out how to fix that, and I do. Fixed it properly infact, looked exactly like it should. So then I go and DD boot.img and system.img, remove the SD, unplug from power, and try to boot into recovery, no luck. Tried a normal boot, no luck. I've done this multiple times. I think it has something to do with the boot partition, I verified it had contained the proper files(u-boot.bin, uImage, etc.), it was marked as bootable, but it wasn't booting.
I held down the power button for 25 minutes just to confirm without a doubt it wasn't(I watched a show while waiting, unfortunately it was my figure holding it down, not tape).
Nothing I tried fixed it.
I think I may have been one of the first to "actually" brick my nook.
Any tips on what I can do to try to unbrick it? Ask me questions, have me acquire data, I don't care.
I have access to adb in recovery, and adb connected wirelessly via nookie froyo sd bootable(for some reason it won't let me use adb via usb).
I apologize if this is in the wrong section.
Also, before you go saying that this is pretty much a repost of other threads, I looked at multiple threads with people trying to fix their nook, threads with 60 pages, read all of them. No one had a problem like mine.
If you are willing to put CM7 on the internal memory, follow the instructions here: http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/
Make your you use the latest version of CWR (v3.2.0.1) Once you have everything working properly, reformat the card to use as storage. Better, keep it as is in case you ever have to preform a new installation and buy a new card for storage. You will need one to properly use CM7 to full advantage.

I was hoping doing what you said would work - but it didn't.
I follow this guide(http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-blue-dot-nook-color/) to get the partitions reformatted properly then installed it.
Glad the site still was able to help you with your issue....
It didn't help. I already followed that guide. Their is one like it here.

Since you said "trying to unbrick" then why not try to reverse back to the original state before installing/running any other ROMs

Go to my youtube page.
Download my ROM by clicking more on my description.
Extract and burn to a SD card with WinImage or something.
Seems like you need to fix your boot partition. Hold the power button down for 15 seconds with no USB plug in the nook. Put your recovery SD in the nook and hold power for 5 seconds you should boot to the SD card. Flash the “repartition-boot_emmc-800mhz-stock.zip” if you want the 800 MHz stock kernel and reboot the nook. If you want the 1.1 GHz Kernel flashed then use “repartition-boot_emmc-1.1ghz-froyo_setboot.zip”.
Once you flash that go ahead and flash my rom just for ****s and giggles to see if you can boot into it. Enjoy. Let me know if I helped.
If this doesnt work you can always DD your way to a new partition. Example below but lets do what I put up top first.
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/xe.nook.color-froyo-v2.2-boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/xe.nook.color-froyo-v2.2-data.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/xe.nook.color-froyo-v2.2-system.img
Well, I'm already processing a return... But if I run across this problem on my new nook, I'll try that.

Return it and try CM7 normally installed to EMMC. Dont **** around with dual boots and all this other crap
When you get your new one in, and if you decide to put CM7 on EMMC, just leave it as CM7 alone.
Shame you sent it back before we could work it out, I was looking forward to trying to fix this - but I can imagine just how frustrated you have been with it and I don't blame you. Probably at the end of your rope and in your place, if I could have gotten B&N to exchange it, I would have too.
Because the Nook Color boots from the SD first, you can always just install whatever else you want to play with to a MicroSD card and run it that way.
Verygreens sd card prep thread is a fantastic first step in this regard. (click "SD Install" in my sig to get to it)
I personally still have my Nook Color stock on EMMC (with B&N official updates) and run my CM7 and other installs from the sdcard. Just make sure it is a SanDisk card and you'll be good to go. (also links in my sig to find out why SanDisk if you're curious)
The benefit to running from the sd-install, especially on possibly unstable ROMS, is that if it doesn't work you simply remove the card to get your device back - instead of having to run recovery on your device.
The latest stable release of CM7 is absolutely fantastic on the Nook Color, and i'd highly recommend it as your daily driver.

I wanted something on the emmc, and my microsd card is to slow to consider booting from it. I'll probably get a better one or just use my current one, and install honeycomb on that.

I had CM7 as my normal install, I just wanted to try honeycomb and my sd card was to slow to consider booting from it.
There's an image around these forums somewhere that lets you dual-boot Phiremod and HC preview on the SD (you just flash it to the SD and go).
It's always safer to play with SD new boots, since you won't hurt your EMMC installs.
With that really said -- the HC previews on the NC are ... not really worth playing. There's no hardware acceleration - so that are abysmally slow. Really bad. You'll try swiping the home screen and go "ugh, back to CM7".
Quite honestly, there's nothing better for us than CM7 on SD or EMMC. Phiremod is just candycoating on CM7 anyhow - and nobody's ever come up with a ROM for us that isn't just fiddling around with a base CM7 or a themed layer on top of it.
What we get from our CM7-Encore installs is pretty much what we want. Theme it all you like - but in reality, nothing else beats it.

[Q] Messed up the format of Internal Memory of Nook Color!!! Plz help!!!!

Hello xda experts!!!!! I really need some help!!! The thing is like this : I have installed cm10 alpha 1 for nook on sd card!!! While i was installing it my nook color was also connected to the computer. So in WinImage i accidently chose the 1 gb of nook color instead of the 32 gb sandisk class 10 which i had inserted in pc via card reader. So it began writing on nook color's internal 1 gb memory. More to that, I interrupted this procedure and performed full format in minitool partition manager. i didnt knew the format of internal memory of nook color so i chose fat32 formatting style. But when i rebooted nook color after disconnecting it kept on showing message that system has encountered some issue and it requires the system to restart.But even after reboot the same error kept on showing up!!!!! And since yesterday the stock b&n OS has stopped working completely!!! Doesnt even show the error which it previously used to show!!! Plz resolve this error and help ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bricked while installing TWRP
Hi guys,
sorry to warm up this thread, but I think I have a similar Problem. I was running CMW with CM10.1 and I tried to install TWRP using the manager app, bit I think I chose the wrong model and now I am stuck with a loop of the nook logo at the beginning. I cant even boot from sd card or anything. Does somebody have an idea how to fix this?

You probably messed up you partitions. Go to my NC partition repair thread linked in my signature. But you will somehow have to get the NC to boot to SD. Also make sure you really have a Color instead of a Nook Tablet. Colors have a black bezel and Tablets have a grey one.

Thx leapinlar,
infact I do have an Nook HD+. Problem is I cant get it to boot from SD. I already tried the HD+ bootable CMW-Images u posted in ur other thread, however it never gets out of the nook-logo loop. It seems like the partitions are so messed up that it cant boot from sd... could one somehow solve this by connection the thing to a pc?

[Q] [Help Request] Nook won't boot from sd card

A friend of mine recently picked up a Nook Color (silver bezel, if thy matters). As I already have a NC (dark grey bezel), I was asked to install CM on his as well. Easy enough...
I installed made a twrp boot card and put a ROM on it, inserted it into his nook and booted. The problem is, it booted normally into the stock ROM.
First thing I thought to try was to verify the recovery was correctly done, so I inserted the card into my nook and booted it... no issues at all.
I put the card back into his nook to make sure the sd port works, and it does.
Second attempt was with cwm, again, no luck... and again, my NC booted from the card without issue.
I've tried with two different cards now... a class 4 2gb ad a class 4 16gb. Both work in my nook and both read fine if you are booted into the stock nook rom, but his nook simply will not boot from them.
What am I missing here?
I've read through quite a few threads on the subject and the standard response is to tey a new card reader... but why would one nook boot fine and the other one not if it was a card reader?
Nook Color or Nook Tablet?

Wait, isn't the silver bezel the Nook Tablet, not a Nook Color? The Tablet uses a different bootloader, so the NC card won't work in it.
Oh holy crap, I missed the most obvious thing in the world! There really are no telltale signs when booting it up, and I didn't have the documents with me last night. Says nook tablet right on the quick tart guide that came with it.
Thank you.

Can't seem to boot my Nook HD+ into clockwork mod

I got to step 7, but it always boots into the Nook OS and never into the CWM. All the previous steps worked.
I'm using a 64 GB Sandisk Class 10 card btw. Other posts seems to indicate this card should work.

If your emmc boot partition is corrupted, the NC will not even attempt to turn on. But it should turn on and boot to a bootable CWM card (assuming your battery is charged). Have you tried that?

The fact that your PC makes noise when you plug in the USB cable makes me think it is on but screen off.
Have you used this same CWM SD to boot before, or is it burned fresh? If it is fresh, that could be why it is not booting to it. It has to be burned just right or it will not boot.
And, I guess I have to ask this. Are you sure it is a Nook Color rather than a Nook Tablet?

You were running on emmc, right? Not SD? If SD, you just updated emmc. If on emmc, you may need to boot to a bootable CWM SD and manually reflash that nightly.

For some reason it is not even booting to a bootable CWM, it is not turning on, nothing.

Is it charged? It may have drained the battery while stuck.
Edit: And that CWM SD you tried to boot to, have you booted with it before, or is it freshly burned?

Freshly made boot drive using CW 3.2.0.1 Eyeballer with Win32 Disk Imager.
I am using the latest CM 10.1 nightly (cm-10.1-20130507-NIGHTLY-encore)
---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
Quick Update:
I disassembled the back panel and unplugged the battery. Still no change. Just wanted to get that out there in case someone wanted to try it.

Then the issue is how you burned that SD. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and read item A9. Sometimes they will not boot in any Nook unless burned just right.
