Tried Getting Cyanogen Mod 7 I think on my nook color and it started up then there was a error and it reset and now stuck on Cyanoboot universal bootloader loading screen. Help please I've been trying to figure this out for almost a year. I tried the SD card recovery thing and nothing it won't even recognize it and not even be forced into recovery or anything. What should I do to restore or unbrick my nook color?
First you need to verify you really have a Nook Color. You could have a Nook Tablet. The Color has a black bezel and the Tablet has a silver bezel. Which do you have?

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.

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.
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.

i have tried everything, pressing on the "N" and power;"N"+Vol up+Power

the only way that he does turn on is this way:

and yeah i know its for nook tablet and not nook color.
Because its nook color insted of green checkmark I get red X, but still this is the only way the screen turns on, gets to the part when it's installing and then i get A red X and the nook turns off again
i really need your help!
( i'm sorry for my english)
Are you sure it is a Nook Color? That Nook Tablet SD should not be booting with a Color, and your CWM SD should.

Have you tried holding down the power button to try and force a reboot?

It sounds like your recovery image was damaged or something.
Have you tried a regular reset?
If the dots are flashing and you had ADB working already, you can ADB in and see what the problem is.
Flashing dots indicates that the Nook is mostly booted.
