I think this was caused from the update that went out. It would boot up and ask me what home screen i wanted to use zeam, android, or prolauncher. I would try and click on one and it wouldnt respond to touch input. So I had to do a hard reset and now its just stuck at the nook color boot animation..
Anyone else have this problem?
Yes, I have this same problem.
It was working fine until, I powered it down and powered it back. After the first unlock screen, your are prompted if you want to use ADW, luncherpro, or home. It does not allow you to select anything from the menu.
After you do a hard boot you are stuck at the nook color loading screen.
If I do the factory reset, I assume I will have to root it again
When I was there (boot loop after 1.0.1 install) a few days ago, I had to do the 3 finger data reset (power, Volume up and Home key press and hold) and then re-register the nook with B&N.
Just did the same thing

I just did the same thing, I set a launcher with softkeys then uninstalled that launcher then hit home, softkeys got stuck looking for a launcher. I rebooted and then it was stuck on the nook color boot screen.
I got into clockwork and now I am nandroiding back.
It should be all fine... I hope.
Edit: worked fine, up and running great again, Gotta love that nandroid!
Stuck at COLOR boot after flashing CM onto ManNoot
Flashed ManualNooter. Seemed to go perfectly. However, I downloaded Cyan 7 from ROM Manager, backed up, wiped, flashed it (apparently successfully), but got stuck on boot screen. Had to reboot into Recovery and restore Nand backup. Same exact results with Phiremod. HOWEVER, I am able to boot into CM 7 from a flashed SD card I created. Can any of you extremely AWESOME people help me get CM correctly flashed onto my NC running MN? Thanks!
Having a bit of an issue here. I did the 8 failed attempts, it reinstalled the stock rom, or so I thought. When it books it still shows the nook color android screen, then asks if I want to continue with Soft Keys or Home screen...
Any ideas?
Weird. I had to do the 8 failed attempt wipe to restore mine as well and it worked. Maybe try again?
you need to do the 8failedboots which wipes /system...
and do a factory reset which wipes /data. with NC turned off, hold down N and power on.
On my third attempt now.. Just rebooted, and it still shows the android Noon COLOR (rainbow animation). And still has softkeys installed..
EDIT: Thanks cabbieBot, didn't see your post. Will do that now.
Ok so here's what happened.
I rooted my nook with autonooter 3.0.0, then I installed rom manager to install cwm. I installed the latest version of cwm and I tried to make a backup, it ended up in my nook only booting in cwm. So I found a cwm removal script and removed cwm. I booted my nook and opened rom manager and I decided to try an older version of cwm. I pressed make a backup in rom manager and it just went into a boot loop. I can't really turn off my nook, and I can't really turn it on. It just keeps going to "touch the future of reading", then turns off, then a couple of minutes later, goes back to "touch the future of reading". To make it clear, I do not have a backup.
So can anyone please assist me in fixing my nook? I'm in a dead end here.
Sounds like a boot loop try
Method one: Eight interrupted Boots
1. Power off the nook.
2. Tap the power button.
3. As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process.
* If the boot animation does not appear, add 1 to your interrupted boot count.
* If the boot animation DOES appear, your interrupted boot count is reset to zero. Start over.
4. Repeat from step 2 until your failed boot count reaches 8. At this point, the nook will re-flash its /system partition. You will see the process on the right.

i went through this yesterday... i was told you can't brick a nook color so I restored it back to the original firmware...go to this website www.theunlockr.com then click the how to's then go to Android and look for Nook Color then look for how to restore to stock firmware and follow the instructions. they worked for me and I'm sure they will work for you also...Good Luck

Thing is, I can't power off or power on the nook.
I'm going to try and restore it to stock.

You need to boot a stock image. Try this link http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...ll-clockwork-recovery-revert-stock-image.html
I'm So hoping someone will help me, I tried to root my device but it didn't work I couldnt get off the software so I installed 2gb clockwork 0.7 and nook complete restore 1.0.1 I followed all tutorials carefully, but when it comes to restore data it says no files found. Lost, I went ahead with the restore. It appeared to work except now I get a message flashing up that I cant read the screen just flashes and I think the partitions are lost too. I'm on the verge of tears. (im a girl dont judge) lol. And I'm lost with my expensive doorstop. PLEASE can anyone help me fix this as i'm at a loss (
No need to worry. The nice thing about the NC is that it will always boot from the SD card first. Sounds like you tried this...I suggest deleting everything you have (clockwork mod files, stock restore files etc) re-download everything and start fresh.
on your computer, format your uSD card, use Win32DiskImager to flash the clockwork mod boot image onto the uSD card and copy over the stock restore files. Place the uSD card into the NC and reboot. you should boot into clockwork mod and from there you can install the stock zip file from the uSD card.
GL!
Thanks,
I managed to get it working by resetting 8 times and booting a factory reset, but now it wont install any updayes and i'm stuck on the poo 1.01 software. I tried putting the official update on clockwork and booting from there but it says file bad with any version I use (screams in frustration)
This will fix your partitions
It was awhile ago, so I don't remember the exact steps, but the following file will fix everything...
nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip
When you unzip it you will get the following:
nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.img
You will need a program like 'WinImage' to write this image file to your SD Chip. Once done, boot your Nook with this chip and install Froyo. You probably don't want Froyo, but thats OK. This is just the first step... but it is key.... This install will 100% recreate and fix all your partitions.
Now you have two choices,
1. Find a stock nook image, and install it to your nook. I think it is 1.01
or
2. Find 'boot.img' and 'system.img' for the nook color. Write those to a bootable SD chip and install.
I am not sure if it was #1 or #2 that worked for me. Try #1 first. If it works, you will be able to start up your nook and register it with B and N. Then you can download their 1.2 update and install it as they instruct.
Good luck.
Follow this thread and you can get it back to original stock 1.0 or 1.01 and then do the updates as normal by waiting for OTA or sideloading them.

Thank you guys I've followed your steps and also looked around this site and im back on the latest stock software. I appreciate your help
Hello,
Earlier today i successfully installed CM10.1 on my new Nook HD+ tablet. After setting up CM10.1 and installing some basic apps i restarted the Nook and it is now stuck in a loop at the Cyanogenmod start up screen. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks guys!
I had this same issue. I made a titanium backup of everything, and then reinstalled cwm, cm 10.1, and emmc ovation. I used titanium to restore and now it resets just fine.

Same here...
I had the same issue. I went in and cleared the cache then reboot and it was fine. My issue now is it'll randomly reboot on its own and sit at the Cyanogen circle boot up but won't boot up. Anyone else?
I booted into recovery and wiped dalvik cache and the othe cache and it booted fin out of recovery but when i would attempt to reboot it normally it would still be stuck in a boot loop...I just factory reset it and it seems to be working fine now *fingers crossed*!
still no go...
I tried that too and it still reboot randomly. Thought that was fixed with latest version
I had the same problem. This is what I did. In the recovery menu I did a wipe / factory reset. Then installed CM and Google apps again. After that I did another wipe / factory reset. After that I rebooted. No more random reboots and no more boot loops. I hope this helps.
trouble restart
Just got a Nook HD+ on the 26. installed CM10.1. every time I turn off or restart the Nook, For the first 3 times, it would stuck at the fast spinning CM logo. I would have to long press the Power button to turn it off, then turn it back on. For the 4th time it would boot without any problem. same thing with boot into recovery, the first 3 times it would ignore my N+down press, only on the 4th attempt. Not sure why, but that's what I found out. I dont see any random reboot yet. Have not try to reinstall CM10.1. Will do that when I have more time. Anyone else with a newly bought Nook care to sound in?
Very similar problems for me, though I don't know if it's exactly every fourth time that it boots properly.
I did a factory reset, re-flashed everything, and it worked perfectly for a couple of days. Then yesterday, a random reboot, and it got stuck at the CM boot animation. It rebooted properly on the second or third try. I just rebooted it manually, and it worked fine again.
I really like this tablet, but I'm seriously thinking of returning it because of this problem. It seems like it could become completely unusable if it gets worse.
CM 10.1 Boot Loop CWM non responsive
I have the same issue. I used powered up and used Volume Down>Menu and it rebooted my Nook HD+ to back to the original Nook OS. Weird because when installed I deleted factory defaults like the instructions said before flashing. Anyway, now when I hold volume down>Menu on boot it come up Black screen with warning telling me it will delete all my documents and reset to factory. Will this wipe the CM 10.1 OS totally? Is there a way for me to get my CM 10.1 back without going through and making a boot image again and reinstalling from starch? CWM dose not seem to be working or am I using the wrong method to booth into CWM on my Nook HD+?

What you are seeing is stock recovery (I assume you mean you held n and power on boot, there is no menu button). You must not have successfully flashed the CWM or TWRP recovery to internal memory. That reset to factory it will just wipe your data, not remove the ROM. It will cause you to reinstall your apps though.
If you ever intend on updating your CM10.1 to a newer version in the future, you need to have that bootable recovery SD anyway (or successfully put it on internal memory).

In did install both the CWM and CM 10.1 the first time. It booted and rebooted for days without a problem. I believe b what happened was error. I had the alarm set to wake me and half asleep tried to turn it off while the groovy cover was shut by holding down the power button. I may have held down more keys then I thought in a sequence that deleted something that caused the Boot to hang. After that there was no way for me to enter the CWM. The command sequence that would normally send me to CWM sent me to nook factory reset. I noticed that there is a small glitch between hibernate and the b alarm. Holding down the power key to get it to shutdown can cause it enter CWM from time to time.
When I reinstalled everything funny thing is my screen lock settings and background selection (I previously downloaded) stayed along with my user profile. That leads me to believe that everything was in tact on the internal storage. Google play backed up and reinstalled all my apps automatically once I signed in:good:. I'm taking your advice and buying a 4G SD to keep the CMW boot image on with the latest CM. Thanks for your help.
Distorted Boot Animation
Is there a way to fix the distorted boot animation on Nook HD+ CM10.1? I have tried installing a different bootanimation.zip but it didn't make a difference.
I found this post on a similar problem with the nook color running CM10.1, and steven676 fixed the boot animation issue with a new kernel. "I was wandering if it could be used to fix the Nook HD+ as well?"

Yes that could fix it, but it messes up other things. Best to just live with the distortion.

"I guess in order for one to gain, one must lose something." LOL
In meantime I'll just disable the boot animation with Rom Toolbox.
Hopefully it get's fixed in later updates without any lost.
This thread seems to be in the range of what my issues are. The Nook worked fine for about 4 days and then while installing the Retro Arc apk I sideloaded, it picked up on an unprotected Wifi connection in the area. It then locked up as the notifications were flying in, and the screen went black. I powered off then off after that once and the Cyanogen logo just kept looking. Tried again after and it went to Stock Nook.
The last few days have been spent doing clean installs with care taken to follow the exact steps, but now all I get for 2 days is the Cyanogen Logo looping over and over. Help?

Just found this on a thread here. I can't find it at this time. I would really like to credit and thank the poster. I had to go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache on every boot. I have only booted once but this change seems to have fixed this issue.
Firsts go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache.( Hold down the power and n buttons until you get into CWM. Go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache. Reboot)
When you get it booted, go into setting/launcher/home screen and uncheck Wallpaper quick render.
Good luck!

Edit to say credit goes to Arron Camp for this fix. Thanks Arron!

I have had the same problem in this thread as well (reboots stuck at cyanogenmod logo). I have been wiping the dalvik cache every time (figured it out on my own) and can confirm it works but you do have to do it at every boot (or perhaps after you change wallpaper, not sure).
I got tired of it happening so i google'd the issue and found this thread; mine is stuck right now too (and also out of battery, lol), but once I charge it, wipe dalvik and boot into android I will try the "quick render" trick and see if that fixes the boot problem to begin with.
Edit: I can confirm that disabling quick render has fixed the need to do a dalvik wipe every reboot.
Question
I have a nook Tablet Color + I think, well three of them actually one of them acts like the battery is dead, however when I plut it in using the "Nook" cable it goes green tab turns on, at the first splash screen with the big N for the nook symbol, and than it powers off and loops there?

I don't know if the color+ has sdcard recovery but if it does that would be the way to go except for...
The other thing is that if you had put on a custom recovery then holding what ever buttons to go to it could allow you to fix it. Or waiting until 8 reboots or whatever if its the same as the nook hd+.
I think there may also be additional stuff that can be tried on the nook logo screen via various button presses as well but don't have any knowledge about that especially for the color+
I've searched and searched in the forums, but can't find the correct procedural steps to fix this issue.
While attempting to install LN14.1 internally on my Nook HD+, I somehow screwed everything up and now it just repeatedly flashes the "nook" screen and doesn't continue on to the Cyanogen bootloader screen (or anything else for that matter). I've tried to boot to SD, but have been unsuccessful.
Every 2 seconds, the screen goes black, flashes the initial "nook" screen, then does it all over again. I've watched it go on for better than 15 minutes and nothing else happens. I eventually have to hold down the power button and the home button just to shut it down.
I really just need to find the correct procedure for getting back on-track. If I've screwed up the emmc, how do I start from scratch and at least get back to stock?
Can somebody please point me in the right direction? Can you link the thread that addresses this issue? I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks.
I have this problem too, only that I'm stuck at the TWRP recovery screen
You should search for the stock nook proprietary software. You should get a bootable sdcard recovery, install the stock software, let it factory reset, then reboot from sdcard recovery and install twrp 3.0.1 (I found newer versions **** up the internal emmc structure). Then flash whatever rom you want, or alternatively boot from the new recovery and restore a backup
