Hey, gang --
My rooted NC is stuck on the animated NookColor screen and it won't boot up propertly. The last thing I remember doing before the last reboot was opening a non-B&N book from the SD Card...
I have an adb connection but reboot into bootloader or recovery does nothing to clear up the issue. The two drives are showing in My Computer but I can't access them. Also I tried the N-button/Vol+/Power which lead me to the same place.
Any ideas? My husband's gonna shoot me if I don't get this fixed.
Thanks.
try the factory reset Power + Nook Button + Vol+
Power the unit on and then off 8 or so times. After the 7th failed boot it should initiate a full factory restore, more than just the Up+Nook+Power (which you've said you've already tried) does.
It recovered mine.

I have a rooted Nook with Clockwork Recovery Installed. Rooted on 1.1
I had it dual booting between rooted 1.1 and the 0.5.9 Nookie.
Today I changed the Nookie image to brianf(sp?) custom image by changing the copy2emmc.sh script to copy to the respective dualboot partitions (9 and 10).
It booted up on the custom image fine. I played around with it for a while, I tried to figure out which partition the Kernel was on so I can copy an overclock kernel by mounting and unmounting each mmc0 partition. I didn't find it, so I figure I just reboot to test again to make sure I can dual boot.
The screen never came up and appears to stay on a black screen not showing signs of booting up.
adb devices show no devices
I've tried all power key combinations to see if a recovery screen shows up and no luck ( Power +n , Power + Both Vol, Power + Vol Up, Power + Vol Down, Power + All Buttons).
The only sign I have of life is with USB plugged into PC, if I keep holding down the Power button. I will briefly see "Unknow Device" of a "OMAP" device.
Any hints on how to bring this back from the dead?
Thanks.
* Edit
Also I've tried all of the above with microsd inserted and without.
You may find some help in this thread .... Cheers

it will be a lot of reading but you will get there. remember the NC is nearly impossible to brick there is always a way to fix it!
I've found that powering down and on (hard reboots) 8 times until you see the big "N" seems to restore to stock and fix most issues every time. There's another post on restoring to stock that also works.

Thanks. It looked like I messed up the boot partition. Even with CWR to reflash the Nook to Stock using the restore to stock thread, the Nook was not booting up. I just didn't know what would restore a boot partition.
So I looked at your pointer, so the boot img. Burned a nookie image to dd that partition back. It booted right up after a reboot.
Thanks for the pointer.
I'm running Cyanogen 7.01 and after my phone crashed yesterday, it is now stuck on the white clearstorage screen every time I turn it on (the one with three skateboarding androids).
I've tried lots of things to get to a point where I can install a new ROM (I have my stuff backed up) and wipe this old one. But, no dice. Here is what I've done:
1) The clearstorage screen asks if I want to delete user data. If I select no, the screen turns off and then takes me back to the clearstorage screen. If I select yes, it reads "Clear..." then quickly flashes "Press MENU to restart" before rebooting into the clearstorage screen again. If I hold the menu button down while the screen reads "Clear..." the phone boots into the HTC screen indefinitely (I waited 45 min).
2) I tried getting into the bootloader screen (Volume down key and power). Took me to the clearstorage screen.
3) I tried getting into Fastboot. Took me to the clearstorage screen.
4) Holding the key combo for a hard reset takes me to the clearstorage screen.
5) Holding the key combo for a factory reset me to the clearstorage screen.
6) I tried pulling out the SD card during boot and while in the clearstorage screen. No dice.
So, I'm not sure what my other options are. I can't get to the phone via my computer's command line since my computer can't detect my phone when it's in this state.
Thanks so much for reading this and for any help you can offer.

I thought the 3 skateboarding androids was the boot screen? What does it say on the screen? If it shows that if you hit "home" button it will take you to recovery. It should say H-boot on there I believe.
If it does, press the home button and not the menu button, and that should take you into recovery where you can wipe everything and restore your nandroid or install a new rom.
Or power off, then hold home press power. Recovery?
BANG! from my shooter...
Kudos to both of you guys for the responses.
I've actually been able to get to recovery by (duh) holding the home and power key down until I get the recovery screen.
However, after wiping the user data, cache, and davlik cache and installing a new ROM rebooting, I still get back the clearstorage screen.
I've tried to install a few different RUUs from the recovery screen and I get a message along the lines of "[RUU file] is bad. Cannot install"
It's most bizarre.
At this point I've got my data backed up to my computer and will do whatever to unbrick this phone.
Thanks again for all your help!

What recovery are you using? If it's clockwork, go into mounts and storage and format system, boot, cache, data 3x each. Yes, I said 3x. Then, try and flash something besides an ruu. Many of those are to use as a HERCIMG.zip, not to flash in recovery. Judd you want to go to a sense 2.1 rom, try an nfx one or something ( at least to see of it works and you can update prl and other things too. Or, reinstall another gb Rom. I don't know I'd you are trying to get back to stock to take back or something. I say, get it working, then look for a flashable ruu from recovery.

This is an executable HTC RUU that is to be run from your PC. Hook your phone up via the USB. Then double click the RUU on your PC. Follow the instructions. It will set your phone back to 2.27.651.6 and will be unrooted.
also, this may seem stupid, but if you were going from aosp to sense or vice versa, reflash your recovery first.
Hello
I have a big problem. My Moto X doesn't show my android homescreen/ system anymore. When I turn it off and on, I can see the boot animations and when they are finished the screen is black. I can press the power button and it only shows me the power menu, where I can choose to turn it off. So It booted successfully. I also receive messages. I also can entere the recovery menu and see everything. It's just android which won't show anything. Also tried to wipe cache but didn't work.
I know I could do a factory but there's an app which data I didn't backup and I need to keep that!
Is it possible to backup a completely without using the screen?

Sry I'm too upset right now that I didn't notice it. Could a mod move this thread, pls?
Have you tried booting into safe mode
I am having the exact same issue. Has anybody had a luck resolving it short of a factory reset?
My phone battery died last night. I plugged my phone in, let it get about 15% charge, then tried to turn it back on. The phone boots like normal, but after the boot animation goes away, the screen is black. Active notifications still seem to work, and I can hold the power button to get the Power Down option. I can boot into the bootloader & access recovery just fine. However, my phone is fully stock (no root, no bootloader unlock, no anything). I can't seem to access ADB when the phone is powered normally (ie, when I'm at this mysterious black screen), but it's possible that USB debugging isn't even enabled.
So far, I've found a bunch people who've said a full factory reset will fix the problem, but I'm looking for another solution, or at least a way to grab my data before I reset. Since my bootloader's still locked, I can't seem to use fastboot boot to boot into TWRP, and I can't find any other way to access my data to copy it off the phone. I've tried wiping the cache using the stock recovery to no avail. Any suggestions?
I was attempting to install a ROM, and CWM gave me several errors about not being able to mount partitions. So, I rebooted and went into "mounts and storage", mounted the partitions, and tried again. This time, it got to about 100% and then crashed.
When I rebooted into CWM, I got a bunch of errors about not being able to locate files, and I couldn't access any menus. So, I shut it down.
Now, when I boot it up, it goes to the Cyanoboot screen and then powers off. When I try to boot into recovery, it just gives me a black screen.

try a hard factory reset and then once you are sure its working fine
you can install another o/s and maybe use a different sd card as that one may be corrupt.
1 press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to turn off the nook
2. press and hold the power button, and then press and the home key while still holding the power button down.
the screen will flash and then the message "touch the future of reading" appears. The message disappears and the factory reset prompt appears.
3. press the home key to execute the factory reset. a confirmation screen will appear
4. press the home key again to confirm, the nook will be deregistered from Barnes&Nobles and original factory settings are restored..
if you've blown away the original factory settings you may need to download a new copy and load it onto an sd card (suggest a known good sd card)
and reload it.
good luck
Thanks! I've been able to get it back to stock, but I can't get a ROM installed. It either gives me a status 0 or status 7 error, or it hangs at the Cyanoboot screen and then eventually reverts to stock and sends me back to the "Hello, welcome to your NOOK" screen.
I've spent several hours going through XDA threads and various tutorials around the web, and nothing I do works. I've rooted and installed ROMs on three phones and two other Nooks (an original color and an HD+), and those all worked fine, but somehow this HD (hummingbird) manages to thwart all of my efforts. What really drives me crazy is that all of the tutorials make it look so easy, but when I try to do the same thing, it fails!
I think it might be a problem with the recovery. If I could just get that installed, then maybe it wouldn't be able to revert to stock anymore. But whenever I install a recovery, I get the same thing: it gets stuck on the Cyanoboot screen.
Hey guys,
So I'm having issues trying to fix my Samsung Tab A 10.1 ( SM-T510 ).
At first I was trying to install a custom TWRP recovery image, and I had a boot loop where it kept getting stuck at the SAMSUNG splash screen(not the initial samsung boot screen that shows TAB A 10.1). I however overcame that issue by factory reseting and through some additional tinkering.
Now the part I'm starting to regret.
I tried once again to flash the custom TWRP to the tablet, but this time I forgot to tick the "autoreboot" setting off.
So ODIN shows a PASS for the flash, but now when the tablet boots its stuck in the following boot sequence:
START:
Initial Samsung boot screen asking to press power button to continue due to unknown boot image source etc
PRESS POWER
SAME INITIAL SAMSUNG BOOT SCREEN minus the power button prompt, lasts for about 3-5 seconds
REBOOT
Now I have managed to get into download mode with the tablet connected to a computer.
I CANNOT get into recovery mode to factory reset the tablet, which was the solution the last go around.
I am starting to think that the only way I am going to get the tablet back in original working order, or any working order for that matter is to:
A: LOCATE original firmware for my device, I believe it is GTAXLWIFI firmware for my device. However the files I have found don't seem to be accepted in ODIN...
B: Try to continue on with the TWRP process, which I have tried to reflash the TWRP recovery that I have, and it shows pass. But, the issue persists.
Any suggestions or help would be amazing!
Thanks!
Timing is the key
Set your finger on position where you gonna restart the device.
Hold power + vol down
After the screen restart switch soon as possible you finger to set to recovery by
Hold vol up + down + insert the USB C cable
Remember timing is the key. I have done this for several tabs that screw on my home so you are welcome bro

I think "restarts" may be confusing. Switch from down to up as soon as the screen turns off.

You can use frija.exe to get the latest stock firmware. To get TWRP you MUST boot to recovery before system. If you allow the tablet to boot to system first, it will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery. Do this by pressing vol down and power till the screen turns off. As soon as it does, switch from vol down to up while still pressing power and keep holding both till the red warning message appears. You also need to leave the cable attached to the PC while doing this.
