Hey guys ,
Just wondering 1st thing does the Nook Color only boot through the sdcard?
and i don't think it will hold a charge, not too sure hasn't been turning on for about 6 months now and i think it's bricked not too sure.
I have it charging right now and the light is orange on the charger so it might be charging. I will let it charge and see what happens.
The nook color is rooted with CWM recovery and wit cyanogenmod ROM just don't know what versions of both if you ask and it's needed.
Any help will be appreciated if you need more information please reply and i will tell you.
Another thing is my nook won't show up on my computer so i can't try and fix it from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
UPDATE: I guess it's fully charged by the green light on the cord, just still won't boot or connect to my computer so i can get it to boot up, so please help me fix this issue. :crying:

You need to go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item A10. Then you can flash a new ROM to fix it.

Yeah i tried that last night and i tried again 20 minutes ago, would help if my computer would recognize the nook color.
Had to use an old phone to burn the .img file and put it back into my nook and still won't boot up
EDIT: It booted up so now i am downloading CM 10.2 is that a good ROM to flash?

You say you got it booting, but you do not burn by hooking the device to a computer, you take the SD out and insert into the PC. And any ROM should fix it. Try the same one you currently have installed.

It's working 100% now and i don't remember what ROM i had on, when i bought it it was rooted and had a ROM installed already.
After I flashed my HD+ to the stock rooted rom I had noticed that my bluetooth keyboard was not compatable with the stock nook OS but worked fine with CM. I stuck the bootable SD in and it would not boot, I thought maybe this might be a problem with the sdcard well 5 sdcards later it still wont boot, this problem did not start until i flashed firmware 2.1.1 rooted on there. Is there anyways to get clockworkmod back on this device? If so is there a link anywhere to a flashable image and the name of the partition I would flash it to. I still see cyanaboot when i boot up but holding the N key to access the menu does nothing either. Thanks in advance

There is no menu in the cyanoboot screen. To reset your device do the 8 failed boot procedure. Just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by holding the power button until it turns off. On the 9th boot let it complete and it will reset itself to pure stock. Then you can start over.

The only way you are going to be able to mod the device any further is to get an SD to boot. Did you try the new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature?

When i was installing the new nightly of CM11 on the nook color, i ran into a funny glitch or something along the lines of that. After i installed the new ROM and the rebooted after the 1st screen splash instead of going on into the ROM like normal it takes me back to the recovery, i retried like rebooting 20-30 times but no luck, i tried choosing to boot the ROM but it took me to the recovery, i tried to reinstall the ROM but still the same problem is happening. and clue to whats going on?

You are in a recovery bootloop. Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature and read items A8 and A12.

What did it say before the status 7 error? Did it say assert failed? If so your p3 is corrupted. I may have to make you a custom repair zip. And it also means you cannot run stock anymore.

That means your p3 partition is glitched. There is now no way to retrieve your backed up p2 data. And it will never boot to anything but recovery without valid p2 data. Send me your serial number via PM and I will make you a custom repair zip.

You said you tried to go back to stock. How did you try that?
That message of 'install failed' is stock recovery. Try doing the 8 failed boot reset. Interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by powering off before the cyanoboot logo finishes. Then on the 9th try, let it finish.

Explain what you mean when you say it fails. And what do you mean rom restore image? You need to be more explicit.

Lets say i boot into cwm/twrp using SD or emmc i cant do a creen install (u know formatting data, cache, ect) and then did its time to install the rom, it installs like normal, no problem whatsoever, then installing g apps, same as before not a single problem or error message, then i reboot, see the cyanboot then its says "loading Emmc" or something close to that then the screen goes black, and stays black. weather 5,10,30 mins, an hour goes by nothing else will show on the screen. i though maybe i didn't format my cache (sometimes that's the problem on other devices in the past from booting) so i boot back into cmw/twrp and format it again, reboot, then after the cyanboot screen complete black screen, but i can run roms off SD fine but i dont like too

The original question on this thread was how to get stock back. You seem to be trying to put CM on emmc. You might do better putting stock back then try to put CM on it.

Thats what im trying to do, but when i try installing the stock roms, on the "instaling update" screen it says it failed, that that was because i did not have the original files on my nook, so i gave up on that

Hi leapinlar,
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I just dusted off my Nook Colour and want to take it back to stock. I followed your tips and used CWM-6.0.1.2-bootable_SD to restore back to nookcolor_1_4_3_signed.
I followed another threads instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720) where it told me to first format data and format system. I then chose the nookcolor_1_4_3_signed to install and rebooted.
I've rebooted a couple of times now and it is stuck on the screen with the n and "Contains reader mobile tech by adobe.."
I then went back into CWM and chose the restore function but i'm getting the same result.

If you had CM on your NC before trying to go back to stock, you must first use my format zips from my NC Tips thread linked in my signature. Using CWM to format is not enough. Read item A15.

Hi leapinlar,
I believe I already stated that I did use your files?
Edit: Sorry, now I see I missed the note about formatting with 5-6-7. I'm not sure what that really means, or how to do it, but i've downloaded it and I'll put it on the SD card and see what I can play around with in CWM.
Edit 2: Got it working! Thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to re-format the SD card so I can use it regularly again.
