Hey guys,
I decided to reflash my nook by holding the power button down 8 times. It loaded the software update and proceeded to the white barnes and noble screen but since then seems to be stuck, the boot animation keeps replaying. Every now and then the screen turns black and it goes back to the white b&n loading screen. It's been this way for about 4 hours so far. Is this normal? I've never reflashed before so I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take. Does anyone know the time it takes to re-image the system partition?

Nook Color stuck on Android boot screen during root - help?
I am currently attempting to root my husband's Nook Color with the autorooter listed on this website. When I did this to my device a few weeks ago, it went off without a hitch. Today, on this particular device, it gets stuck on the android logo screen for over an hour. I wound up shutting down, reformatted the SD card on my laptop, reburned the image, tried to root again, but have hit the same problem.
I could use some help as my spouse is starting to get testy and go through nook withdrawal.
Thanks in advanced.
Make sure you are using the correct nooter image for your Nook Color version.
Do a factory reset and a hard reset. 8 startup interruptions (hold power button to power on and then hold the power button to shut off when the n shows up, do 8 times), and hold the vol+/nook button and power to power on then following direction on screen. This should reset your nook to purchase setting. Then update your nook to 1.1 with the B&N update file. Then you can use the new nooter image.
Thank you. I did update to B&N 1.1 before using the nooter, so I hope that your instructions make a difference
Factory reset (power+n) should also be applied when doing a system reset (8 failed boot). A factory reset can be done by booting your NC with power+n, until you see the reset screen. Do both resets, before attempting to root again..
Factory reset will erase any data stored on the nook (books, etc)

Had same issue and this fixed my problem
No power and no charging
I've got a Nook Color via ebay Germany and I rooted it (Autonooter).
For a few weeks I had a great device!!
2 days ago - battery was low - I wanted to have a look onto the worldnews, just for a few minutes. At this moment a software update (from B&N?) began to work.
After this battery was completely empty.
And since this moment I cannot charge or boot my NC.
From time to time there is the Android starting screen with robot or, sometimes, the note, that battery is too low to power on - please wait 15 minutes.
What can I do? Now I'm waiting and charging 2280 minutes.
I'm using original B&N-cable in wall or computer an tried other micro-usb's.
Restore to stock witout power - I don't know how it works. I'm bloody beginner in Android devices and was so glad, that my rooting (with a lot of helpful threads and youtube videos) was successful.
The last 2 days I read a lot of clockwork and restore to stock. How do it work without power?
Please could someone help me? Thanks!!
have a problem here.
My nookcolor all of a sudden just started a reboot process. does the boot screens and animations but never loads up. I last had the latest nooter before 3.0 and 1.01 on it. Just a few min ago I plugged the nook in and it said installing software. That completed but it still just loops on me. I try doing the 8 resets but it keeps going through the boot screen.
Any ideas?
TIA
I mess with the nook doing power off and on and eventually the screen flashes yellow quickly and goes to installing... A new software update is being installed this will take a few minutes.
It completes but then just keeps the boot animation loop on me.
Please help!
out of desperation I tried doing the auto nooter 3 on it.
I dont know if 1.1 is on it. But I assume because it said installing update earlier.
Anyawy it finished and I get hte new splash boot up scrteen. (the robot being traced in green with android below and then a bright light shining but that just plays over and over.
Guys I'm lost please help.
I would say go "back" to stock 1.1 and root again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
A data erase before you do the 8 restarts should break the boot loop. Since you can't get to the Unregister and Erase screen in settings, use this alternate procedure.
Shut down the Nook Color completely.
Start up again by holding in the On button and the Nook home button (the "n" button) simultaneously. You must continuously hold in the On button and the Nook home button until the "Touch to the Future of Reading" screen has been visible for a count of 5 seconds, then release both buttons. In a few seconds the screen will flash yellow and you will be presented with the options to erase or cancel. Choose erase by hitting the home button again. You will then be asked to confirm by hitting the home button one more time.
The Nook Color will then erase its data.
After the erase, do your 8 restarts and you should be back to the factory settings and out of your reboot loop. Restart and register, Re-Root and you should be OK
Yesterday I put it on charging when I went to sleep. Today morning I tried to ON the tab and it just boots to a blank screen and stays like that. My Nook HD+ has stock rom and only modifications was one which allow third pary apps to install. I don't know what to do, please help me...
[Edit] It won't even boot to the CWM backup SD card. When long press power button screen's truning off and long pressing power button again makes the blank screen to appear. Once it reached till the nook 99% screen and then it became blank, twice the very first nook boot screen appeared and then it went blank... and now after several trying only blank screen appears.
After a lot of tries, it finally resetted to factory settings. But a couple of minutes after loging in to my account, blank black screen again appeared and it stays like that. I turned the device off and turned it on after some time, it again booted to the black blank screen for a couple of times. I decided to leave the device on like that. After about 5-7 minutes staying idle, the device booted to the nook os automatically. But the blank screen process repeated. I tried restoring my stock backup using CWM, but the blank screen process is happening in CWM too after some time.... After a lot of tries, I finally restored my stock backup using CWM. But the problem is still there.... Anybody know what is happening? What I do now?
Any advice is really appreciated... thanks.
Any of the experts here know, why this is happening and what to do?

It sounds like a defective device to me. Time for a warranty exchange.

Hello guys, I am in need of some serious help, but please excuse me if I ask too many newbie questions.
I was running SlimROM on my Nook HD+ (I came back from running CM10.1>CarbonROM>SlimROM>CM10.1>SlimROM) and browsing the web late a couple of nights ago when the nook turned itself off. It rebooted itself and got stuck in the CM spinning logo for about 5 minutes. Since this had never happened to me before, i hard reset(held on the power button for long to force a restart) and now it is stuck on the Nook logo until the battery is fully drained. I tried rebooting it many times, while trying to force it into CWM recovery by pressing the vol down/vol down+home while turning it on. No effect, it just keeps showing the Nook logo.
So I brought out my SD card using which I had first installed CWM and CM upon receiving my new Nook HD+ and tried to boot from it. It starts up, shows the Nook logo, then goes on to Cynoboot Universal Bootloader logo for a few seconds, dims, then lights up again and gets stuck there. It then shuts down the Nook itself after a couple of minutes or so.
I brought this tablet with myself to Afghanistan, where I am currently stationed, so I cannot even go into a B&N store until my next R&R (not that I want to take an EMMC flashed Nook to B&N anyway). Please advise.
Am I going to have to buy a new tablet?
Thankyou very much in advance.

I thought the normal way to get to recovery is to power up with the nook button held down? - have you tried that?

Yes, i tried that first, then the vol down+power and then vol down+nook+power. I guess I was desperate, and searched everything remotely similar to the issue.

That is not the way to boot to recovery. You boot to recovery from power off by holding BOTH power and n for like 5-8 seconds, releasing power first followed a few seconds later by releasing n. But be careful how long you hold power, if you hold it too long it will power back off.

Yes sir, that's what I meant I tried. I have (successfully) force booted my way into recovery a couple of times before, but this time it is just stuck on the Nook logo (or cyanoboot logo if I power up with the CWM/CM SD inserted)
Wow. So many views on the post.
Guess the tablet is done for then.
Anyway, thankyou devs of CWM, CM and other ROMs who made my short journey with my first Android so very informative.
Would love to come back here when I buy my new tablet. I think it will be the new Galaxy note 10.1. Or the Nexus 10.
'Till then.

I'm a real newbie to this stuff, so I may be talking rubbish and I'm not familiar with the ROM you were using, but is it possible you're emmc is damaged, for instance by trim. I know there are some people on the board running of special SDCard only roms, and some talk of possible ways to recover damaged emmc.
The reason I say this is it seems stuff is working up to a point, I think even the normal bootable SDCards and recovery partition probably try to mount some things from the emmc, and I wonder if this is where it's freezing up.
Hi all,
I bought a Nook HD+ around a year ago, and installed CM11 and CWM recovery on it. Everything worked fine until coming back from a trip in June, when I noticed that the power button required several tries to power on the device. I thought nothing of it until I came home and found that it wouldn't turn on at all, having tried all the button combinations and power cycles suggested in these forums. Now here's the strange part: I believe the internal eMMC may be corrupted because a) there's no battery icon when plugging it in. and b) when trying to turn it on, the screen is clearly on for a couple of seconds. It turns grayish and I can see the edges of backlighting, but there's nothing on it. Also, it won't boot from microSD or show anything on the screen at all. So, I have two questions: 1) What is the cause of this problem, e.g. broken screen or bad memory, and 2) What can I do to fix this? The tablet is just out of warranty, but I do live relatively close to a B&N store.
Thanks in advance,
