I have rooted my Nook color using the autonooter program and I am having a HUGE issue.
The Nook color will power up, but when it does it just freezes on the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen. If I have the SD card in it wont boot at all.
But when I plug it up to my PC or to the wall charger it will power up, but freeze at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen, while if I have the SD card in, it will freeze at the "n" logo screen, after the "this product contains abobe reader systems" pops up.
I am pretty sure I've bricked it and I dont want anyone elses' Nook color ending up like mine.
If you know of anything I can do then please, PLEASE tell me!!!!
Personally, I would run the stock release from B&N to revert back to 100% stock, and then try rerooting. The first time I rooted I ran into some issues and this was what I did to get it working right.

Having an odd issue with my Nook (rooted with Auto-Nooker).
When I power it off, I cannot seem to power it back on with the power button, unless I plug the USB cable in first. Any ideas? Is this normal? Thanks.
I had problems the first couple of power ups, then is started acting normal.
I just got ny nook last night and when i tried to wake it up this morning i had to plug it in. I hope it fixes itself soon.

Silly question perhaps, but a few people have forgotten... Did you remove the SD card with the Auto Nooter image and reformat it? Otherwise it will boot into that every time you try to turn it on.

This was my problem as well until I did what you said. Thanks for the reminder!
I was having the same issue in the beginning. Even without the sd card inserted, I'd have that issue. It seems to be fine now, though.
Are we supposed to see the Nook color custom boot animation with the little android guy on the bottom right, though? I thought it was just part of the rooting/setup.

Everytime I have rebooted I have seen that boot screen, so it should be normal
I have taken my card out and reformatted it. My issue is more so when i leave my nook alone for a long period of time and it is just sitting in sleep mode. I have to hold the power button to get it to come back on(it reboots).

I think that is intended, pretty sure you had to push the power button for a second or two stock as well... reduce accidental power ons?
Seems odd, but I found a way to start up my Nook Color without having to plug in the USB. If I press and hold the Home button for a few second, then press the power button, it'll come on.
The custom logo is a standard part of the rooting process. If you don't like it, you can revert to the standard by moving or renaming /data/local/bootanimation.zip
I had just updated to the newest update, the 1.0.1 update so I decided to use the auto-nooter. I did it and I got my nook to boot up, I followed the instruction up until the part where it location services. I turned them on, but when the android set up was complete it had the option to send me home, or softkeys. I pressed home and was put right back into the nook color home screen. I tried pressing the software buttons, but they didn't do anything. The status bar wasn't letting me go anywhere, it wouldn't even let me go to the menu. I clicked the "n" on the bottom of my nook and and nothing happened. So after a little bit I just decided to turn it off, this was my mistake I think. I thought since I had already been through the Android setup, the one that is on phones, I thought I could. Now Whenever I plug it into a computer or the charger the green "n" comes on but not the yellow one. I guess all I want to know is, is it bricked or not? It looks like a brick to me. Is there anyway to restore it? All help will be appreciated.
TL;DR:
I think I bricked my nook, any help would be nice.
***EDIT*****
Nevermind, it turned on after about 8 Hours of just leaving it plugged in. Maybe battery was dead? I had it fully charged though ?:/ anyways, mods feel free to delete or lock.
Did you remove the Auto Nooter sdcard?
What happens when you try to power it up?
I've been folowing the dev forum for quite some time and done all sorts of mods to my Nook Color. The other day though, I was going to flash the OC kernel for nookie but when I powered it off and went to power it back on, nothing happened. No screen flash, no boot animation, nothing. It seems like the power button just stopped working. I even went as far as to take the back cover off, disconnect the battery, and manually short out the leads for the power switch with no luck. I dont really want to send it in for support because Nookie and HC are still on there and I dont want them to tell me they cant do anything so I figured I'd ask for advice first. Any help is appreciated!
A good test is to try one of the bootable SD options just to see if your Nook will boot at all. If it boots from SD but not emmc, search the forums for how to reflash /boot.
Hello all...I get a black screen, and nothing more. (Tried for 5-6 hours of different combination of holding the power and n button etc.) Still nothing
This happenes with, and without an SD card in there.
Tried all combinations of different recoveries with CWM and other SD boot suggestions.
All I did was root it, and then used CM7 off an SD card. Working fine for a day...then today it all stopped completely.
The only way I'm getting activity is when I plug it into the computer. I makes the chime of that it recognizes new hardware, and immediately makes the chime of that it was unplugged (which its not) Still nothing on the screen though.
Right before I could no longer boot...my screen was turning yellow...yellow lines, and odd pixles. Luckily I took a picture (see attachament) so everyone can get what I'm saying
Would this be a symptom of a hardware faulty Nook? Its only 3 days old...safe to bring it back to B&N for a exchange...even though its rooted?
I understand rooting will void the warranty, but does it void getting an exchange from B&N?
Hi guys.
My NOOK HD+ is suffering of black screen. It seems to be able to boot into CWM, but the screen just stays black, when I try to boot from SD card. The NOOK itself won't show the "NOOK" boot logo, and stays with black screen forever. I know, that the display is not broken, since the LCD turns on, but remains black - the light is dimming during the boot into CWM, when pushing the "n"-button.
I am able to use the buttons to navigate, but I can't see anything trying to navigate to fix it.
I have followed the steps provided and created a bootable SD card (Sandisk 8GB HC) with CWM (NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip) (All worked with CM10.1 previously)
Then installed cwm-recovery-ovation-3.zip, cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-ovation.zip (CM10.2!!) and gapps.
Can anyone help me. If someone could provide screenshots of the CWM 6.0.2.8 menu (full) for NOOK HD+, this would be nice, to navigate in CWM without screen. I did somehow fixed this previously, but don't know how, since I can't see the screen.

I think you lack battery.
Try to turn the nook on (u get the black screen) and let it charge for 5 hours.
Eventually it will start by itself or you have to restart it manually.
Then you should be able to boot into CWM or whatever you wish to do

Did not fix the problem, but I did solved the issue...
It seems, that the display has a loose connection, and when flexing in the upper left and lower right corners, the display come on and off. I have not twisted the edges by force, but a small grip only can cause it.
So a faulty unit, rather than CWM issue. Thanks for the suggestions you gave me. :good:
