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.

Hello all,
I got this nook.color of my best friend .
He had cyan delta installed and one fine night,it stopped while updating and since then it has not turned on even once.
Last known config was cynogen mod nightly and touch based recovery.
When i plug in the charger,it does noy start up and just.charger pin remains lit.
What can we do to unbrick?
Thanks.
Can Barnes and Nobel repair it for small.fee?
Leapinlar has an excellent guide.

I thank you for your efforts and documented guide. I followed it and reflashed modded recovery at 300 mb size.i redid the recovery on my known memory card as well. Despite two cards with modded recovery,it still fails to show up any sign of life. What you suggest,thanks again.

Not really sure what you did by your description. But if you burned a card with one of my CWM images and that card failed to cause the NC to turn on or boot, that may mean the card was not burned properly. There are many things that can go wrong when burning that make the card unbootable. Look at my item A9 in my NC Tips thread linked in my signature.

You are sure it is a Nook Color rather than a Nook Tablet? A Tablet has a silver bezel.

The only way that I know is to get a CWM SD to boot. And you can't seem to get that to happen.
Did you try plugging the USB into your PC while the CWM SD is inserted?

I see many queries about a bricked Nook Color.
I posted a reply ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341926) to one user that has worked for me.
The thread also contains some very useful advice from other users who have experienced the same problem.
I hope the info in the link will help you.
Nook color stock stuck on failed update. Can't get the 8 restarts to work and can't get into any recovery cmw or trwp. Can get the repart for nook tablet to come on screen with x in top right corner instead of green check. Have tried all leapner files and instruction with no avail.

If you read my Tips thread you would know the 8 failed boot reset does not work unless you have stock recovery still installed.
And don't use Nook Tablet repart, it will mess up a nook color as the partition structure is very different.
Are you sure it is a Nook Color instead of a Nook Tablet?

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.

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.

And won't go any further. It acts like it's installing the update or installing
Back to the stock, but then it sticks.
I went back and re-read your answer. Am I wrong ? Is this just for if you are
Using an SD card to run your ROM with? You see I accidentally , some how removed
The emmc off of my internal drive... I think? When I put my SD card in to Change ROMs, it has a system , data, cache, sd card, sd-ext, but no emmc?
It acts like its installing the ROMs but you take the so card out and power on, and it
Sticks at Read Forever? I think I've really goofed this time!

It is possible that your NC internal memory has become read only. I have seen this happen rarely before. It acts like you are writing to it but nothing sticks. Successfully flashing the repair 14567 zip should have caused it to boot to cwm when you remove the SD. I am afraid your unit is toast.

I finally got everything to work. I was going to throw the NC away, and decided I would try one more time, and it worked. The results were after I flashed the partition 1,etc... and it would not do anything, until I flashed the partition 2, and still nothing, until I flashed the NC stock update.
BUT.... I just posted a new question, about it will only go to Stock 1.2. It will not let me
put 1.4 NC update on it, nor any of the custom Rom's ? Is there anything more I can do?
