Help Me! Urgent Phone Issue! Phone INOP!

Ive got a big problem, recently my old SD card **** out so i replaced it with a brand new one with nothing on it. Upon first boot nothing was loaded because obviously APP2SD puts everything on the SDCard, however not even market was loaded on the phone itself so it was impossible to even download anything
Now the big issue!!
In my stupidness i thought i would just wipe and reflash a new CM with the new SD card and see if that fixed everything.. However i wiped and then i realized i didnt have a new ROM on my SD card to flash back too!! so now when my phone boots it just boots to a black screen and nothing appears because there is no rom to run... my phone itself is wiped data/cache and my SD card is completely clean due to it being a brand new one
How can i get my phone working again? right now it is INOP as i dont have any rom on it whatsoever and it wont even boot, i dont have a microSD adaptor to put it on my computer with and load a rom on it
is there some failsafe way to get it back to stock firmware incase something like this happens?

This should be in the Q&A section.
But,
What recovery do you have?
[edit]
oh right, drop into terminal Alt+x, type ums_enable and connect your phone through usb and copy over the rom and Amon Ra's latest recovery.

You could try posting in the right section.... or you could go to recovery, drop to console and type ums_enable- then connect your phone and move a rom over

Go buy an sd reader. Or if you have aman ras recovery you can set it to go to usb fro the recovery menu.

first - wrong section
second, if you have a custom recovery - go to the shell and type
ums_enable with usb plugged in

inop
You need a card reader and the ra dream recovery and you would of fixed it

Wow all of you said the same thing?
And repeated it
Even ^ copied the rest of you by saying got rec mode.

ur first card prooly didnt go bad, u prolly didnt flash the ext-fix from cm..correct? thats what happened to me and i then realized my sd was fine, i was also stuck at the g1 screen b4 i flashed the fix. also from what i read all u did was wipe so ur rom is still there, see if u can grab the old card and getter dun. and stop being a jackass and post this where it goes!!

Post in the correct section, next time, please.
Moved.

Bootloop on a2sd

well i charged my phone last night turned it on this morning and it was all messed up.My apps were force closing and my apps werent appearing. i turned it on and off like 4 time and now everything appears but all my apps force close and dont work properly. i didnt take out my sd card or anything like that. Should i go into recovery mode and repair the ext??

well i tied to just hit repair ext and it didnt fix anything so i wiped the ext then repaired it and rebooted it and it took me into a boot loop. now i am tying to do a nan+ext backup and it is taking my into a boot loop. What do i do now??

Well before you tried that you should of just pulled your sdcard out and then put it back in and rebooted. Also in recovery there is a fix uid mismatches, thats a good place to start. But the last thing you can try is to repartition your sdcard. It will format everything so save your stuff to your computer.

but where will it boot to?? will it boot to my old nandroid??

What do you mean? If you take your SD card? The ROM is all on your phone's internal memory...

i tried to repartition the sd card it worked but i rebooted and it went to the bootloop again..i dont know what to do??

Nvm i used my other sd card to fix the class 6 one

If it won't power up, just try pluging in the usb cord or hold the power button for 20 seconds. Try it a few times.

I should be honest, there was an option that said format boot, and i pressed it, when i plug in the usb it wont even get detected by the computer and i already tried plugging it in and turning it on, it there any hope?

What orange thing did you wipe everything in? Was it clockwork recovery? What did you we wipe?

some cache that start with d
boot
sd
i tried the factory reset option and it wouldnt go through
i think it was mostly caches, the thing i believe screwed me was the boot

I agree...I had to reboot the 8 times many times and then it boot looped and after 1 hr of rebooting and trying to re-installing 1.0, 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 it finally went back to stock 1.0 after I placed the auto-nooter sdcard back into the nookcolor and did the 8 times...IT WORKED I got the going back screen and now I am back up and running.
OH, HAD to plug in the usb to the PC also! So plug in and sdcard and do the 8 times...

Oh god, why do people like you purchase something such as a NC and try to modify it?
Try following the steps below, or don't, and try to return your Nook Color for a new one, and in the future don't touch it. Ever.

That's why it won't boot you selected format boot. You need to go to the thread that says restore to stock. Try one of these threads.

that's a bit harsh. There is no need to return it you can fix it just follow directions. In the future don't format something if you font know what will happen!

You can make a bootable recovery SD card. If you stick that in your nook, it should boot into recovery. Once you are in recovery, you can pull that SD card. Then you can put one in that has a backup. If you don't have a backup, you could probably get yourself back to stock from there. Then just start over.

I just can't understand why someone would confirm anything, let alone a "Format", without knowing full well what it was before doing so. It makes no sense.
I don't mean to be harsh, just some friendly advice, that's all.

Sorry but which file do i download? there are three option, and im tired of making mistakes

Don't worry about your Nook Color. It's all recoverable. I did some tests with my Nook too because the LogicPD thing wouldn't let me register my Gmail account. I format boot, data, and system. Formatting boot will give you the black screen you are having. You don't know if it's dead, on, or off but I assured you the Nook is not dead.
Get a copy of Clockwork and burn it to a uSD and copy a flashable sideload_update.zip to it. Put the uSD in your Nook Color. Have your Nook Color plugged to the power outlet. Hold the power button like 10 seconds. If it's not on, hold another 10 seconds until the screen powered on. Then run the recovery zip file.
Now if the LogicPD thing won't register your Gmail account, just skip it. Go to your NookTool settings, and run the second Wifi settings which does the Nook setup. There is something wrong with your Nook not getting registered causing the Market to not have wifi so it couldn't connect.

By burn do you mean i have to "burn" it onto the sd card using diskimager

Yes, that is correct.
You want this either of the bottom two files. They are the same, just meant for different size SD cards. If you are using an SD that is 1gb or larger, either one will work.

christianrios, just to let you know, I did the exact same thing. I formatted Boot and system and my nook would not power on.
But doing the clockwork recovery bootable SD thing fixed it easily so don't worry. You'll fix it.

Im getting frustrated here, im on the cwr screen and i formaat system and data, i run the sd install reboot and nothing, what am i doing wrong?

Ok, here is what you do! Make the clockwork recovery SD card. But also! put the 1.1 rom zip file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145 onto the SD card.
Now when you boot into clockwork recovery, select "install zip from sdcard" then pick "choose zip from sdcard" and then find the 1.1 rom and it will install. Reboot without the SD card in the nook and it should be fixed.

[Q] attempt to flash Foyo gone awry

Got it fixed. Use the clockwork bootable image and get the stock image to revert to stock or reflash froyo to EMMC again

I don't have the technical ability to help in the non-boot issue but why don't you download WinImage, make VHD's of one or both of 8gb cards, then use those cards to install whatever recovery media the fine folks here suggest. THEN once you're up and running again.. and I have no doubt that you will be, this thing seems to be un-brickable, then you can just restore your microSD card from the VHD backup.

Im on a Mac and dont have access to a windows pc. is ther any other way i could go about doing this?

I had the same problem. I Burnt a CWM version that is bootable from an SD card, then I burnt the same card with the 1.00 stock zip image. These files are somewhere on this forum. But the only wait out is that CWM running from as SD card. I had to burn the card with my cellphone.

how did u burn it on your phone?

On your Mac you can use the TERMINAL app to create an image with no problem .. since you can get into recovery, just put an sd card in a reader on the mac .. format it and burn the image ... for specifics google is your friend .. the osx commands are here .. hope this helps ... BTW using a phone to create an image does not work for many people ...

i know how to burn a image with the Terminal. and i flashed the Nookie froyo wrong and cant even get to recovery at all. and for me I cant seem to do anything with the SDcard since i already flashed nookie foryo on it and cant reformat it. . ive tried everything i can think of and am lost

Sorry .. misread and thought you had Recovery ... since you do not, follow the instructions HERE
and use the card created to boot the NC .. once you have it booted install Clockwork Recovery so you have a recovery system ... hope this helps

10 charecter bump

The 2 skulls was the way out. If you had the 1.0.1 image on the root of the card assuming you could get past the 2 skulls you would be good to go. Possible the SD card you are using has a problem. Try making a new one with the 1.0.1 in the root of the SD and sintall update from ZIP.
I just did a recovery to stock from froyo eMMC but didn't mess up the /data /system format part.
If all fails, I'd be happy to help if you want to ship it to me and cover shipping in both directions.

I do have the skull image but it did nothing. Left my nook alone and went to school. 8hours later same skull screen. And my mac won't let me reformat any of my sd cards and only worked when inside my nc

I'm having a similar problem. I recently tried the Flashable Froyo ROM for the Nook Color from modembug on XDA. Now I don't have Clockwork Recovery and need help getting it back. Instead of any boot animation, I just get a "loading..." and then an "ANDROID_" and it doesn't come up at all. The only way to turn it off at this point is to press both and hold both power and n buttons. I really don't think the 8 boot method is working at all.
I've tried ADB but I am unable to connect to my computer, ADB commands say error: device not found.

Try the power+n reset.. hold both for 30 seconds to boot the NC.. the reset data...

I am having the same problem. Anyone made any progress on getting back to stock in this situation? I can boot from sd card with froyo also.

[Q]Nothing will boot from eMMC

Hi all,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out as I am seemingly in a bad situation. I received my Nook 2 days ago and rooted and tried out a few different ROMS to get a feel for the choices. In any case, for some reason my Nook no longer appears to be booting anything from internal memory. Any ROM I have tried (stock included) has failed to boot, but I can get the Nook to load CWR with the memory card in. When I say failed to boot, I mean a black screen. Like no response from the device at all.
Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, I really dont know what else to do or what the problem is.
Thanks,
Michaelangelo

Get the nook restore to stock zip and the boot restore zip. Flash those both back to it. Also, make sure you are wiping, System, then Data, then Boot beforehand. And wipe both Dalvik and cache. Nook Color is nearly impossible to hard-brick (in the sense of being unable to recover from it).

This happens because the boot partition is corrupt. This is usually the result of you formatting the SD card with CM7. Due to a bug, when you try to format the SD card, it will wipe out the boot partion as well. Just restore the boot partion and you will be OK.

An automated install or do we just push buttons as per the same task on another nook and hope

Okay, so I understand that the problem is that CM7 changed around the boot partition files, that makes sense as that was the last thing I could get running on internal memory. When I was flashing HC v4 to EMMC I also flashed a boot repair, and that still did not work. I cannot seem to find a boot repair file for stock, where do I get that.
Sorry for the noob questions, and I am definitely trying to use search the forums for answers before i ask these questions!

We have life!!! I found a stock boot restore file and it turned out to work, I am back to stock again. Man this is sure a learning experience. I have been flashing my Evo for a while now, but the nook is a different beast all together.
Thanks for your help all, I think I am good from here on out!

You get a microSD card with CWR and the both .zip files for the stock 1.1 and the boot partion, then pick install .zip from SD card and flash both files. When done, take out the microSD card and your NC should be able to boot normally...

How do you know it's booting into CWR on the SD if the screen is not working?
If your screen is not working when booting from a SD card, then.. maybe there is something wrong with your nook???

If I boot nooter 0.2 then the USB plug goes green which apparently indicates booting. Oh and OMAP3630 shows up for a second on booting too.
Thing is I didn't do anything to break the screen and there is no physical damage to the unit. so it's just weird

I thought I had the same issue because of the screen being blank. That said it is highly unlikely your hardware ( ie screen ) is bad. I was able to get mine working correctly last night doing what is mentioned above. However to get it to work right booting into CWR via a bootable sdcard I had to make a new bootable sdcard from the one I had. Not sure if something was corrupted on the card I was trying to use or what. But as soon as I made a new bootable sdcard and put it in the device and powered on it boot right up to CWR off the sdcard like I needed so I could fix it. So my suggestion if you can is take a totally different sdard fro the one you have been using and make a new bootable sdcard and give it a shot.
BTW with no card in the device hold the power key down for about 20 secs to make sure it is fully powered off. Even tho your screen is blank does NOT mean it is fully powered off as I learned real fast last night when I tried working on mine. I thought it was off from the night before but it must not have been because I put a bootable HC sdcard in it and when I plugged it in I got a msg saying battery to low to power on plz try again in 15 mins. About 10 mins later I came back and it was finally powering itself on and booting into HC off the sdcard. So I let it fully charge and then start playing with it to finally get it back up and running again.
