My NC wont boot no matter what I do. When I connect it to my pc (windows xp) I get an RNDIS ethernet gadget in the new hardware notifications. The nook was rooted but I did a hard reboot before finishing the setup because it wouldn't connect to my google account. The NC wont even show the "touch the future of reading screen" and I cant get adb to find the device. I rooted when I had freshly wiped everything and downgraded to 1.0.0 then I upgraded to 1.0.1 then I rooted. It worked fine until after the hard reset.
HELP!!!!
FIX!
I'm sorry for the double post, but I want to make this clearly visible when someone else has this problem.
So, all you have to do to get it to boot is try to put the device into recovery mode. It won't actually go into recovery mode though, it will just boot into the regular os.
Clockwork Mod Recovery
I can't go into recovery. I have Clockworkmod installed.
bumpity bump,
Im back to this issue seems my fix up there wasn't right. I did a FULL wipe on the nook (/system, /data) and then proceeded to update and root. after rooting I rebooted the nook with the autonooter sd card still inserted and then the device wouldnt boot. I tried removing the sd card and still no luck. adb doesn't find it but it is detected as a "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget" under windows. Is there a way for me to boot the nook?\
EDIT:
got it to boot by mashing the power button and putting nookie froyo inside :/ im not sure why but thats probably how I got it last time too.
Clockwork...did the same thing

Folks,
I've done the same thing. I backed up with Clockwork to the SD. The Nook would only boot into Clockwork. So, I recovered and now the device will not power up at all. I fear that I have bricked a wonderful device that I spent alot of time on. It will not boot at all, will not respond to the power button at all and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I screwed?
FG.
I have the same problem with Motitas and it was updated to 1.1 recently. Please help.
the screen stops to nook icon only. does it mean i have a brick now ? PLEASE Help.
Please read my threa a few threads down from this one, titled "dummies guide to my nook wont boot." it explains everything.
So my friend just got a new NOOKcolor
we successfully rooted it with Auto-Nooter
I was trying to get ADB to work and decided to reboot
now it just repeatedly gets to "Touch the Future of Reading" screen and reboots
I've 'tried' the 8 interrupted reboots but I have yet to get it to restore to anything
I was able to SSH in to it and tried to fix the BootCnt file per a set of instructions on the web (the commands appeared to work but - I'm still at boot loops)
The last resort is just to return it back to Best Buy and wait till the rest of the Android tablets come out...
but I have to imagine there's a way I can restore it somehow - maybe load a new image on to an microSD card or something....
I've had no problems with anything else I've rooted (3 Droid Incredibles, Droid 1, Droid 2)

Same thing happened to me.
Get Nookie Froyo running off the SD card. From there you can install other tools. I had already made a backup when it happened to me. I was able to use Nookie Froyo to install ROM Manager, and then restore my backup. Not sure what you would need to do from there without a backup. But, either way, I would recommend you check out the Nookie Froyo thread.
EDIT: You could use Nookie Froyo to get Clockwork recovery installed. Then you can return the nook to stock, and start over again.
yeah I just got Nookie Froyo booted up....but there's no market?

When it happened to me, I wasn't able to connect to adb to push an app.
I gmailed myself the ROM Manager APK, and then got into my gmail from the nookie browser. Installed it from there, and I was good to go. I actually had use nookie froyo 0.5.8, because 0.5.9 was giving me SD card errors and wouldn't let me install an app.
hrm I can't even get ADB to work - keep getting protocol fault (no status) whenever I try to do anything
and yeah its telling me my SD card is damaged too - its brand new though

It has something to do with nookie, not your SD card.
Try the 0.5.8, and grab the ROM Manager apk from the Clockwork thread here in nook development.

I didn't have any trouble getting ROM Manager installed. What is the file manager telling you?
there is no file manager on here so I can't get to the APK's to install them
i'm almost ready to just leave it stuck in boot loops and return it to Best Buy as defective
EDIT: finally got ROM Manager to install
but apparently SuperUser isn't working 100%
and it won't boot to Recovery
and apparently my 6GB microSD card is only really 2.5mb so I can't load this on to it even if I could get in to Recovery

If you click on the apk in gmail, it should give you the option to install it right there.
nope it only downloaded it - then in my notification bar I was able to install it from there...
but that hasn't gotten me anything - I flashed Recovery - but it wont boot in to it

Not sure why you are having issues with ROM Manager, it worked for me. I was stuck in the "future of reading" boot loop for a day, until I went the gmailed apk route.
I wish I could be of more help.
and I wish there was just a way to boot the SD to a stock recovery image
or there was an easy way to get it to do it's restore
Your SD card needs formatting from an Android device. It will then get its initial capacity. Then you can flash.
By the way, ADB should be working from froyo, or even CWR. Get that running, re-run the nook-dev commands for adb over usb. If you can get adb working, snowf0x dd boot image only weighs 11mb. See dev thread.
And please, do read the forum, most of your questions have already been answered 10 times.
Thanks.
the actual problem is when you restore the Nookie Froyo image to the SD card - it only makes it a 2.5mb card.....you can't access the rest of it
EDIT: Doesn't matter anymore - this thread can be closed
my friend is just going to return it and get his money back
If you can boot up Nookie Froyo, then the best way to restore back to stock would be to use the DD images available here in the forums. Just find that thread and follow the instructions. It might be faster using Nookie Froyo 0.5.8 since 0.5.9 has a bug that makes the SD card parition corrupt.
Well I don't know what I did but this morning when my nookie froyo emmc was at 20 percent it decided to turn off and not turn on and won't turn on when charged and will not boot any sd cards. I feel stupid but after my nook working on emmc froyo for a week and now its not even turning on I feel very stupid. All help is appreciated, thanks!

Have you tried booting to the CWR card yet? And using Samuelhalff's zip that restores the stock partitions? This seems to have worked for many people experiencing the fatal Froyo crash. Take a look at the 'Easily Restore to Stock" thread found here in the Nook forums. And in the end if your device truly won't turn on, then chances are the guys down at B&N won't be able to either. *Warranty*
Well I have tried monster root pack as a card but I haven't tried stock partitioning,i dont know where the thread is. But will this let me even boot an sd card ?

Were you running froyo off emmc? If so:

I recommend flashing this ROM instead though (pre-rooted 1.1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
And yes if you insert the CWR sdcard into the nook and hold the power button, it will power on. The reason it isnt powering on currently is because your froyo boot partition is corrupted, not because of the nook itself. The CWR sdcard has a different boot partition that your nook will see and boot to when you hold the power button down with the CWR sdcard in.

Thats my post from an earlier thread with someone having the same issues. It worked for him, it should work for you. Just make sure you follow the steps right and especially make sure your burning the Clockwork image to your SDcard correctly that way it will boot into Clockwork instead of staying black.
I'm gonna have to give these steps a whirl. The downloads are taking foreeeever.
Also had Froyo installed with CWM and just got finished installing gapps. I went to format an SD card, had no luck, and tried to reboot. Ol' Nookie decided not to come back to life after that.
edit: wait, instead of flashing the stock rom can I flash the pre-rooted 1.1 rom?
Just read this over on android central (in a thread about flashing honeycomb). I believe it is what I did and why my nook won't boot:
****While running Honeycomb from Internal Memory NEVER choose the option to format your SD Card from within Honeycomb. The files that were altered to let HC run internally will lead the OS to actually format your boot partition instead of your SD. If you need to format an SD, do it on your computer or in an Android phone, etc.*****

Drat. Just got my CWM image on my sd card. Here goes nothin! Will report back
OK, I have CWM booting off the SD card, i'm formatting system and data under mounts and storage, and then i'm installing the 1.0.1 complete restore. It goes through and then I got to reboot system. Then...nothing. Back to black screen. Help please!
I can pop the SD card back in and boot back to CWM. I've tried several times now with no luck
samuelhalff has a flashable zip that restores the boot partition for situations like this. Go look for it in the development forum. you should be able to flash it using CWR and your NC ought to boot.
eyecrispy, thank you! samuelhalff's boot zip followed by his 1.0.1 complete restore zip did the trick.
RileyGrant, thank you for your post as well. Much obliged!!
Mine just shows a blank screen. All I did was boot into ClockwordMod Recovery, make a backup, then reboot. I was going to flash the Honeycomb Rom, but decided to give it some more thought first. Now All I get is the blank screen, it won't power all the way off, and it won't power on or anything
EDIT: Managed to get it to turn off, but when I turn it back on it boots into recovery. I select Reboot System now, and it reboots back into recovery. Forgive me, I'm so new to this Nook Color thing lol
EDIT AGAIN: Tried using the Monster Pack or whatever, flashed the removeclockwork.zip, followed by the installclockwork.zip, then removed the SD card, rebooted, and went right back into Clockwork Recovery. What gives?
YUP Same thing happened to me. I have read all the posts in this thread and i did try to format the card i had in my nook in the brand new phiremod froyo rom. Now it wont boot at all. I have a CRW card on hand and it wont even boot that. Idk right now, nothing is working.
Try reading through the Dummies Guide to Fixing 'My Nook Won't Boot'.
I did it last night and I'm back up and running again. Here's my post for an abridged version of what I did last night: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11374824&postcount=29
I had the same problem until I flashed the repartition fix.
Give that a try
I've got the exact same problem as the OP. Running Froyo on EMMC with no problems for a few days, then I left it for a while and now it wont turn back on or boot from uSD.
I've tried long presses on the power key, usb cable power up, but nothing works. I've tried the v4 HC image and the clockwork recovery image and neither are booting.
I verified the CWR image on my android phone and it does boot on my phone, so the image is definitely okay.
Hate to think it, but could this be a battery management issue in the 0.6.7 image and the battery is now screwed? Doesn't seem like boot partition corruption to me.
Any comments or suggestions are welcomed

Sorry for asking what's probably a silly question, but I haven't seen an answer. Is this known to the Nookie dev(s) and being addressed? Just had it happen running Nookie 0.6.8 off the SD card. I was really enjoying it and just telling the wife how I think I'll flash it to the eMMC, but I might have to reconsider if this might occur. Battery was ~80%, no goof-ups reformatting anything. Locked the screen around 1:10 this afternoon & hadn't touched it since. Got home about an hour ago to turn it on, nothing. Disappointing, Nookie is pretty good!
nook color wont turn on
so what to do if i dont have a sd card with cwr or honeycomb (what i was trying to run)ive already called for the replacement, but i would still like to know what to do.
I found this thread after suffering the same or similar problem to everyone else. I turned off the screen and set my nc aside for a few minutes, then it would no longer boot. Screen just stayed black and was completely unresponsive to any input. Working my way through some troubleshooting, I plugged the nc into my computer via USB and it booted into CM7 instantly. I have no idea why this happened, but it's working fine now.
I was running Phiremod on an sd card a couple of nights ago and something went terribly wrong with my NC. I tried to get into the program and it would boot all the way to the home screen and then just power off. I couldn't get it to boot into CM7 running on an sd card either. I searched these forums and others and although I returned the device to stock, repartitioned the boot, removed clockworkmod, reflashed the roms, reformatted the sd card (16gb), switched to an 8gb card and I don't know what all else (not necessarily in this order), I cannot run any roms other than Autonooter 3.0. It installs from an 8gb card with no problem and runs fine. But when I try to use my CM& nightly 37 from my other NC, no go; I reflashed Tablet Tweaks, HC V4, Nookie Froyo and tried them all, no go.
I could get Phiremod to load all the way to the home screen and then start powering off. CM7 comes up to a blank screen with the status bar and buttons at the bottom but also a status bar at the top that says Android system and then it powers off. I rooted the NC with Autonooter 3.0 and then tried to install Tablet Tweaks and got the same weird Android System status bar at the top and then it powered off.
Any ideas? I have been working on this for 48 hours and I got nothin'. I can't get ADB to work with just the NC running stock (I am no expert and might be doing something wrong).
First run autonooter and root it, then u can use rom manager to flash clockwork recovery to emmc. After that use either of the two to flash another rom to emmc.
Also were trying everything from sd card or were u flashing to emmc?
And i am not sure but ADB should work with rooted stock.
Thanks for the response. I will try flashing cwm to emmc tomorrow. I was trying everything on SD cards and emmc. I installed Tablet Tweaks to emmc with the weird result mentioned in the op. TT wouldn't run from an sd card or emmc: the NC just kept powering off as soon as it got to the home screen but before it finished loading up. I should be able to use adb now that I'm rooted. Silly me, couldn't get the device to be recognized running stock. I'll update on how things go and probably will still need help.
Ok, I just installed Clockwork and then using it I flashed Nookie Comb. The installation went fine, boot up went all the way through to the home screen and then the same thing as usual happened: the weird notification bar at the top that says Android System, the status bar with softkeys at the bottom, and immediate powering off.
I think I saw this weird notification bar once when I was rebooting the Nook before I used autonooter, so I think that something is wrong on the emmc level. I have returned to stock and looked at the information in Factory and it shows that I have been returned to 1.0.0. But after I go through with the registering process, I find that the device is on stock 1.1.0 without having to sideload the update. I don't see any notification that I have been updated to 1.0.1, which used to be the case before all this happened. I was trying to avoid messing with the stock rom (warranty) but it looks like I won't be able to do that unless I can figure out what happened here. If all else fails, I will just stick with autonooter, which works well for the purposes for which I use this NC. I do have a second NC that works just fine and can run roms off an sd card. Maybe I can take something off of it and put it on the other?
Any assistance is appreciated.
04/10/11 - 6:00 pm****As I said above, I searched high and low and I tried everything!, but still nothing has got me back to being able to run roms off sd cards yet. But I feel that I have made some progress. I was very disturbed about going from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 without applying the sideload update so I decided to start all over again and restore the NC to stock. I found yet another thread and followed the instructions, except that I unknowingly used CWR 3.0.0.6 instead of CWR 3.0.0.5. So, instead of immediately rebooting into the stock hardware, I had to do a hardware reboot. This brought me back to 1.0.1 and I was able to install the sideload update. So stock rom seems to be back to normal. I took the CM7 rom I am running in my second NC and put the sd card in the trouble NC. It did boot up and completely loaded up the homescreen. This time no top notification bar, no Android System message, but yes, the little sd card icon showed up at the bottom although no message about a damaged card or sd card now removable showed up. But the screen was completely frozen and the device immediately turned off. There was no powering off notice or anything; it just went off and the screen went black. This is a 16 gb card. I am going to try with an 8 gb card now.
04/11/11 12:40 am**** Ok, I give up. I have succeeded in getting nowhere fast. I am thankful that I can run Autonooter 3.0 on it and use sd cards to load my files for using on the NC. I miss the froyo/honeycomb/cm7 experience on this NC but at least I get it on my second one. One good thing that came out of this: i can do the eight boot interrupt thing without a hitch!
Hey, my buddy let me borrow his rooted NC running the Honeycomb Preview on it. He wanted to see what MIUI looked like on it, and let me put it on there for him. I guess I was dumb to assume this was running Android, so it must flash files like any android phone.
He has some program to boot the NC into clockwork mod recovery. While in CW recovery, I wiped data, but after this, it froze while in CW recovery! I've never encountered this, so I just decided to reboot the thing and go from there. It rebooted and directed me to the set-up screen with the green android dude with the persons hand telling me to press him
"Welcome to LogicPD Zoom 2"
No matter what I press, nothing responds. I read up on http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM#ixzz1AAsuy5td and tried to accomplish the 8 restart thing. I don't think I can complete that because whenever I boot up, it immediately puts on a splash screen that says "Loading.."
No part of the boot cycle does it say "Welcome to the future of reading"
Is it possible flashing this thing back to stock? I tried to tap into adb, so I could put it into bootloader from there, but my adb doesn't recognize it. Even with the "adbfix.bat" file.
Any help will help.
Thanks
First, load an image of CWR v3.2.0.1 on an SD card. Then, get a CM7 ROM and the market app .zip file and put them on the card and you should be good to go. Older versions of CWR tend to freeze up when wiping the cache....
In my opinion, no one should be running Honeycomb on the Nook unless off an SD card as a secondary "toy".
Well thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't boot into any kind of recovery mode, which made things kinda confusing.
I fixed my adb issue, so luckily, I could log into adb. I cleared data and cache through adb, and than downloaded the boot.img file and system.img file. Pushed those to the nook that way. Now I'm back to out of box status ready to put some MIUI goodness on here.
