I recently picked up a nook from barnes and noble and for a few day i have had no problem. But ever since i tried putting music and pdfs on to the internal storage its been freezing up right after i boot it up from it being powered off. Ive been able to get it running after multiple restarts but every time it freezes from regular use it takes like 10 trys to get it running again. I was able to go into settings and factory reset it but to no effect. any advise would be helpful thanks.
i forgot to say i havent rooted it yet its still stock.

Not sure if this discussion has already happened.
I have noticed twice since rooting my nook (with 2.12.25) that it has randomly restores back to 1.0.0 (or seemingly).
The first time it was just sitting beside me and it did one of its un-commanded restarts. I noticed that it was reloading the original 1.0.0 version. I lost everything and the nook was unresponsive after finishing. I followed all the hard reset rules and then upgraded to 1.0.1. I then autorooted again and reinstalled all apps.
Last night it did it again while I was using it. I was reading a book and then went to check email. I got an error message something like "invalid authorization" and that it was reloading the base software. I let it do its thing and go through its reboots. I also let it automatically update to 1.0.1 before I touched it. I re-registered it. Now when it loads it doesn't show the normal rooted nook boot screens. When I go into extras I see only the stock apps plus the additional ones that the auto-nooter loads (everything else gone). I tries to get me to log into LogicPD Zoom (Google) but it fails to load.
Has anyone else seems this?
Is there a way to re-load or fix the nook color install without having to go through the complete wipe process?
Once I fix is there some setting we can change to prevent it from happening again?
Thanks
After nootering the nook, I proceeded to load clockwork mod and made a backup of the OS. Now when it auto restores, I can reinstall the backup from clockwork mod by holding both Power and the Nook Key for five seconds when powering on.
Still don't seem to know how to stop the auto restoring though
Mine restarts too, has since I rooted it. Thankfully, there is no data loss, just an inconvenience. If there were a log being kept (like in other OSs), I could at least go there to find out what is crashing it.
Acts like a low memory restart, but that isn't what it is.

Wanted to add that mine does this also. It has happened 3 times in 4 weeks. Thank god for ClockWork it is not to big a deal now to restore. I wish someone could figure this out tho.
Mine actually randomly boots up (I'll have it off, then hear it start up a few hours later). Not sure it's related, but thought I'd mention it in case it turns out to be.

Mine used to restart everytime it went to sleep. Happens to alot of people. SetCPU and On Demand usually fixes it. There is like 2 or 3 of these threads in Q&A

Except they're talking about the system restoring itself, not rebooting.
It has to reboot to restore. Thought if you fix the reboot problem it would help maybe not... My bad
I'm autonooted on 1.0.0 and have never had an ota restore or update.

Have you guys made sure to rename the otacerts file after rooting?
There are several active threads on this. In my case it was a faulty power button. I went ahead and exchanged the unit. Replacement is 1.01 and feels like the case is sturdier. Might be imagining that. Check my other posts on the subject. Good luck.

any ideas?
reboot and a redownloading of the books has not worked.

Sounds like a question for Barnes and Noble tech support. Is your Nook rooted?
lol. of course it is.

Any solution to this problem? I have also got this problem when trying to open the free "read-to-me" books. I tried to reboot it to see if that would cure it, but nothing changed. I even deleted those books and downloaded them again but still got the same red screen when trying to open them. This happened after I re-rooted my nook color with manualnooter-4-5-25 and also applied the OC kernel. BTW, all other non-"Read to Me" books are working alright.
The other issue I am now having is that my NC is also running CM7 102 nightly on SD card (also OC kernel flashed), but every time I power it off (regardless of rooted 1.2 or CM7), it will automatically power itself on a few minutes later. Basically I cannot power it off completely at all.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
OK, here's the situation:
Nook Color running CM7 7.0.3 from SD card. Been running this since May without problems.
Last night I plugged in the Nook to charge and turned off the screen.
This morning I unplugged the charger from the Nook and it chirped. Never heard that before. I turned on the screen and it was at the out-of-the-box Nook lock screen. I swiped to unlock and found that overnight my Nook had somehow reset itself back to 1.2 of the Nook OS. I looked at the SD card contents and nothing was here.
I powered off completely, then back on, and all was well, back into CM7 from the SD card.
Any idea what caused this? I don't remember seeing any issues like this since I started following these forums in May.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

By "reset itself to back to 1.2," do you mean you had 1.3 installed and somewhat personalized previously, or just that it unexpectedly booted into stock instead of CM7?
I have no clue what happened either way--I'm just not sure what you're describing. If you were running CM7 from SD, stock was always still there, and some power irregularity caused your NC to shut down unexpectedly, and apparently fail to boot from SD, causing it to boot from stock on the internal storage instead.
Additionally, something may have triggered a factory-reset, but in that case it would have walked you through set-up again, and you said it took you straight to the lockscreen.
Hello;
Sorry to bother anyone and thank you for taking the time to create this site. I have a Nook HD "Humming Bird" and recently Installed CM11 on it. The other day the Tablet's battery went completely dead and I was able to get it charging again the next day, Upon turning it on the tablet turned on and just Displayed the Nook logo on the front, I have tried recreating the Bootable SD cards and even reverting it back to stock Roms, the tablet act as tho everything is completing successfully but the I restart it, nothing happens it just stays on the nook screen.
I'm really running out of idea's it was working fine and I have flashed this as well as about 4 or 5 different phone. I have seen other forums stating that I need to revert back to stock recovery, rom and each attempt I haven't been successful phone show it installing it complete's it with no errors but then when I turn it on nothing happens.
The only thing that I have noticed during the flashes is that it says something Offset5124 (I don't know if these are correct) and I think a message pulls up
Installing Boot... Installing Boot... Installing Boot...
Any help would be awesome and thank you very much
I recently decided to go back to complete stock. I wanted to see how a factory stock rom would deal with the battery issues and others I've had. That's where the problems really began. I followed the instructions in a current thread. I used this thread years ago to root my nook without a problem. My Nook HD+ this time would not boot from any SD card. It did not matter what image I used or what method from the mentioned thread. The SD cards are good though. I stupidly did a factory wipe/reset in CWM, mostly because I had tried everything else. I knew not to do it, but I had tried everything! My Nook would stay on the Caynoboot after this. I finally got a flash to work using the old method and CWM 6028, but this time it hung on the Nook screen. After fighting this for a while, I finally got the stock recovery and stock rom to flash. Great, it's working again as it should. The problem I have now is if I leave it alone for a bit the Nook will shut off. I can power it back on, but sometimes it takes a couple of tries. I tried to charge it this morning when the battery went down to 6%, but I could not use my Nook charger. It would shut off or start to boot past the Nook screen and then shutoff. I'm typing this now and my Nook is charging fine through my computer. Has anyone experienced the auto shutoff when leaving it alone? It's totally annoying, but it functions fine other than that. All of these problems came to life after going back to stock root. Personally, I don't feel like starting over again. I'm to nervous that something will go wrong.
My thought is this relates to all the known battery problems the Nook has. CM might eliminated some of the obvious though. Mine started 3 months after I bought it years ago. It was part of the reason I went to CM10 at the time. I thought maybe the factory rom was the issue. Do you guys think the auto shutoff and normal charging method issues are battery related? I don't think it's a hardware issue. It could be the way the rom was finally flashed, but I would expect more problems other than the above. One thing the factory rom did fix was the Nook shutting off on almost any flash video. It was always random, but this has not happened since going back to stock.
