[Q] I need help in the worst way! NC stuck on "n"

Hi guys, i have a Brand new Nook Color that im trying to root. I will try to explain what i've done so far:
1)updated firmware to 1.1
2) downloaded super-nooter 12.25
3) downloaded win32diskimager and winimage
---i have an 8gb fully formatted sd card-----
note* i could not for some reason "restore virtual hard disk image on virtual drive", so instead i used win32diskimager and transfered the files over to E: drive (micro sd) noticing the files on the step-by-step instructions; my files are similiar except the "u-boot.bin" file that it reads instead is a VLC file saying "u-boot" and it shows the orange cone.
i've since then installed the micro sd card into the nook, plugged in the usb, to start the boot up, i hear the nook connecting/disconnecting with the laptop, screen is black, then i eventually get to the "n" screen...... it just stays there....
What am i missing/doing wrong/not getting?
i REALLY appreciate anyones advice and help. thank you so much

Does supernooter root version 1.1?
1.1 just came out today.

i thought about that too. is there a way to get the nook back to usable condition? and if so, what should i do differently?
thanks kindly

ok so i've done the 8 interrupted boots and have successfully got the nook to default settings by following instructions "flash back to clean stock image". i am now on 1.0.1, and will retry the whole process again..... i'll keep you posted!

Yes. The current Auto-Nooter 2.12.25 only works on 1.01 and not 1.1.
It will hang your Nook if you try..
To restore it back to factory.. the the data wipe then trigger the factory restore by interrupting the boot process 8 times.
Power up the nook, then as soon as you see the text come out, press and hold the power button until it shuts down.. Do that 8 times..
You can find more instructions here :

Good luck! And wait for a new auto-nooter..

To go back to 1.01 1.02. ...currently its the post right under yours
not sure if it will work if you are already upgraded to todays update. But you can do the eight salute. too.
Just an FYI it takes a while for the devs to work up roots for new versions. When a new version comes out it can break existing roots and a new exploit or variant of and old exploit needs to be discovered. Basicaly the old root methods may not work for the new versions. Always give it a few days for the dev comunity to catch up and react. Never a good idea to upgrade your firmware the day it comes out and then try to root.
Its a learning processes most of have gone through. read read read. Its all here.
Good luck.

Thanks for everybody that helped! I now have successfully rooted my NC, and am enjoying it thoroughly!
Cheers

[Q] I have totally messed up my Nook Color

Ok so I have totally messed my brand new device, this is second day I have had it. I got it yesterday and first thing I did was install DeeperBlues HC v4 on my eMMC. It was easy. I had to use Autonooter first. I was on 1.0.1. Well after playing with it all night. I started to not like the functioning of apps on the platform. They were great but was in my opinion, no greater than when it was just rooted. So I decided to bring it back to stock. I accidently placed wrong sd card in it, the one with Autonooter on it. Now when it boots up it says Loading.... then I get the word ANDROID in lower left had side of screen in landscape. I am a noob when it comes to this. Now I flash and mess with my phones rom and themes and kernels all the time kind of a junkie, but this is no walk in the park.
Please can someone help me.

I think you rooted your Nook which could be a fine thing. If that's not what you want, getting it back to stock is very easy.
Here's a link: http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
The tricky part is to get the timing right so that you get the 8 failed boots (that took me a while). If it looks like it's about to boot up up, hold down the power button till it goes off (at least I think that's what I did). If you have adb installed (or install it) you can get around that.

Is this going to help me. My original firmware was 1.0.1.

Just grab the CWR 1.1 Recovery image from the development forum. Burn that onto an SD Card and reboot. Wipe data boot system cache and flash. done.

Find rootpack in dev section, write that to sd card, add the flashable restore to stock zip from samuelhalffs restore to stock thread in the dev section to your sdcard, boot to sdcard with the rootpack on it, flash the restore to stock zip after formatting system and data. Wala, fixed! All info can be found in my dummies guide to my nook won't boot a few threads down.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. This worked. I now have my Nook back. Thanks.

Ok still need help. I seem to have installed CWR but now i am watching the Nook Color boot animation looping over and over. I tried to reboot but it is still looping. What do I do again? Do I reinstall sd card? And reflash the rom?

[Q] Rooted Nook boot-loop troubles

Hi,
I've run into a boot-loop problem with my rooted nook color.
It was working fine before, but i turned it off today and connected it to a charger.
Suddenly i noticed it started booting up but the boot stopped at the Nook Color devs screen. It keeps looping on that screen till halfway the word color (in rainbow colors)
I haven't done any updates or anything, it just started doing that.
Is there a way of doing a reset WITHOUT having to go through a factory reset ?
Of course, being the *ss i am, i forgot making a backup, so i would prefer not to lose data and stuff on the nook.
As i recall, i rooted the Nook Color with CMW 3.0.2.8 and Manual Nooter 4.5.18.
Any help would be appreciated
Kind regards,
Jeroen

Take the rom you prevously used to flash...wipe cache and dalvic only....the reflash it..if you are running cm it should be okay....if stock..I do not know...

Tanks God =) Somebody with the same issue.

I have the same problem...
I searched all the internet the solution for this issue... dont founded yet...
(sorry about my bad english... I speak portuguese...)

I had the same problem, ended up having to go back to stock (using cwm) and then re rooting. Since I already had everything on the sd card, i redownloaded the apps I wanted after rooting and the whole proces only took about 20 minutes. I've since downloaded titanium backup in case it happens again so I can skip that last step and it should only take about 10 minutes to get everything back.

Just an FYI I bootlooped by updating Adobe Flash Player through the market. Looks like the stock ROM either depends on its certain version of Flash our has a special version just for the Nook.

The problem with all version of MN prior to 4.5.25, is that they run the risk of Adobe Flash auto-updating themselves. You have to manually go into the Market and un-check the auto-update box. When flash updates itself, it causes the boot-loop when the device reboots.
You can try this fix, download the attached file, and flash it with CWM. The file should delete the adobe flash files, and then install Flash 10.3. This should fix the boot-loop, and keep your current file system without having to reset. If the fix works, and the device boots up, then make sure that you go into the Market, and uncheck the auto-update for flash.
If you have any problems understanding my English, let me know and I can try to reword it for you.

[Q] My Nook Color won't update?

I decided, that since I really wanted Netflix on my nook color, I should root it. I installed CM7 on my SD card, and it was really slow and laggy. Finally, when the nook update adding Hulu and Netflix came out, I decided to return to the stock OS. I tried to update it, but I get this little green android holding a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside it (like the thread icon.) I figured out I can use the thing if I hold down the power key and reboot it. Anyone know how to fix this error?

Yes, I had CM7 Booting from an SD card. All I had to do to return to stock was remove the SD card.

Ok, I've figured out that this problem is Clockwork mod (Recovery I'm guessing?) It keeps trying to handle the update, and results in the error. So I guess the question now is how do you remove Clockwork mod (recovery?), or at least stop letting it handle the installation of BN updates?

I just went through this myself, read through this thread to get your fix:

[Q] Rooted Nook updated firnmware help

I have or at least had a rooted nook color. I was on 1.4.2 firmware, but last night my nook auto updated to 1.4.3 firmware. I had never installed the app to access the hidden settings and now I am paying for it.
If I turn off my nook or reset it then for about 30 sec. I am able to look at my android apps. It looks like a rooted nook, but then it will go back to the unrooted version. It is strange that it does this and I am hoping that since it boots up as the rooted nook did then I am hoping there is an easy fix.
I am currently unable to access the android market though when it boots up. I try to go to the play store and it says I don't have an account, would I like to add one. When I say yes it won't go let me. If I say no it does the same thing. How do I access the hidden settings now or is there a way to root 1.4.3 firmware?
I am really stressed and aggravated with myself and the situation at hand. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

There are others here that were able to re-root after the 1.4.3 autoupdate. Just search a few posts back.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. I have two Nook Colors that I had updated to 1.4.2 before rooting. I rooted them a few weeks ago and one of them auto-updated to 1.4.3 before the other. I just rerooted the one that had updated and it works fine. I didn't have to revert back to stock first. When the second one updated to 1.4.3 I did the same process and that one works fine too.
I followed the steps in the [NC][1.4.1][1.4.2] ManualNooter 5.02.19 thread that I used to root them in the first place.

Well I tried to re-root my nook and everything went fine until i rebooted the nook. It is stuck replaying the cracked nook screen over and over again, and won't let me access any other screen or menu. How do I fix this?

You may want to root your NC again. Make sure you are using 5.2.19.
Check the OP in the MN 5.2.19 thread here.

First I want to thank everyone for all the help and advice they have given me so far, but I am still having problems. I have rerooted my nook. I also tried the partition repair zips on my nook and they seemed to have did something, but now my touch screen isn't working. When my nook rebooted it went to the barnes and noble set up video and I was unable to watch it or skip the video. Not sure how to turn the touch screen off or how I even disabled it.
Thanks again in advance for any help. I feel less hopeless now about getting my nook back to the rooted version I have come to love.
