I tried to install the honeycomb rom, and right after i wiped boot, CWR crashed. And yes, i was stupid enough to do it on internal CWR. Now my nook color wont boot at all. If i press the power button it gives no indication that its even turning on.
I tried putting in a CWR sdcard image, but it isnt working. I burned the image to the card, and put it in my nook, and pressed the power button, but it isnt working.,
Oh wow.... this is embarressing. I was pressing volume not power..... too used to the samsung vibrant
Happens to the best of us! I'm glad you didn't brick your Nookie!

I have CM7 RC2 installed on my nook emmc and it's been working great, but I want to flash dalingrins OC kernel... I flashed CWR through my Clockwork app and anytime I try to reboot into recovery it never does, just goes straight to the CM7 boot animation then boots normally... can anyone help? Thanks
I've noticed that the power button + N button combination on the Nook Color seems to be a lot more touchy and prone to error (i.e., not booting into recovery when pressing it) than the analogous key presses on my EVO.
Try holding down the N button, press the power button, and letting go of the power button about 2 seconds after pressing it (keep holding down the N button). I noticed if you hold it too long or not long enough, you'll go straight into the CM7 boot logo. This almost always works for me.
Absolute NooB to the NC here, so please be gentle!
I've got four issues that should be no-brainers but they are beating me up. I've split them into four separate posts to keep things clean.
1. Booting to recovery
What I've read is to power the NC off, power on, hold down power & N key until boot screen (which I assume is the "Touch the future of reading" screen), then release both to boot into recovery mode.
Certainly sounds simple.
I can't make it work. Been trying for days.
So, does this actually work? What is the trick?
Timing on that can be tricky, so don't get frustrated. When the 'touch the future' logo comes up, continue holding N and power and count to about 4. Hopefully that gets you, but if not, try 3 and 5 counts. If it powers back off, you held too long, but it won't hurt anything!
I have the same darn problem with mine---but I never see "touch of the future" script, I see " loading". I always see "loading".
CM7 on the sd card.
I have never booted into recovery.
?
I usually reboot to recovery from rom manager.
Thanks! Got it down now. Once I got the timing down, tis as easy as on my original Droid.

That's my preferred method (on my original Droid) but it doesn't work for me on the Nook.
Maybe because I am still booting CM7 from the sdcard?
I'm on the same boat here cant figure out how to get into recovery mode.
I tried the power/N button combinations, reboot into recovery from CM7 desktop, and ROM manager still doesn't get me into recovery mode.

Problem fixed, stopped using stable build 7.03 and used nightly build 102 and now I could get in and out of recovery mode with no issues.
I accidentally turned off my rooted Nook Color yesterday rather than putting it on Airplane mode and when I tried to bring it back last night, it would not boot up. It goes directly to the screen that says "Touch the Future of Reading" and won't go beyond that. I have tried holding the power button and N button down for 30 seconds and it has not worked. I let the battery die and tried rebooting it again from there... and no go...
Any ideas??
Thanks!

You should try this...
ie. make a bootable sd card and reflash stock rom (or whatever you're running) off of it
Last night I flashed the latest CM7 nightly and everything was running fine until I tried flashing this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982337
Now when my phone turns on it goes into the Phone--!--PC screen for about 10 seconds then the Cyanogen boot screen comes on and loops. I can't get into download mode or recovery no matter what button combos I try. I've looked around and I think I need a jig but I haven't read anything about the looping boot screen. Is there any hope for my phone or do I need to make/buy a jig?

Your just stuck in a boot loop. Phone! Computer is actually the kernel splash for that kernel. Pull the battery, give it a minute, put the battery back in, and hold the 3 button combo until you see the att screen, then release the buttons.

I tried this and it still goes to the Phone!Computer screen after I release the buttons. no matter what I try I can't get odin to recognize my phone. whatever button combos I try with my phone connected to my computer I hear it connect when it's on the Phone!Computer screen then I hear it disconnect right before it goes to the boot screen.
also when I plug my phone in while it's powered off the loading circle thing comes up like it does when it's charging but instead of the battery indicator is just shows the Phone!Computer screen.
See if Odin recognizes the phone-!-computer screen as a type of dl screen, letting you flash from there.
Connery it to kies and repair samsung kies then when kies opens go to install drivers then jig to download mode and flash as norma

First problem your having is the Le Kernel DeJour (Escapist Kernel) hasn't been supported in a long time and as far as I have read any of the other cm7 kernels that are available right now are not working with the newest nightlies. The other kernels are having the same problem and causing a bootloop. There is some beta kernels that you will have to get from IRC for the Glitch Kernel. But I will show you how to fix your issue if you have a external SD card that you can take out of your phone and plug it into the computer, transfer the file I will link and place it on the external SD card.
1. Okay plug in your external SD card into a computer (or transfer the linked file onto the external SD card)
2. Link to the stock cm7 kernel #126 which will install and not wipe your data and only wipe cache and dalvich cache
http://db.tt/LZJqu1hd
This will install and get you out of your bootloop.
4. Power off you phone and insert the external SD card back into phone
5. Hold down the volume+ and volume - buttons along with the Peer button until you see the art screen come up. Let go of the power button and then the volume buttons. You should now go into RECOVERY MODE.
6. Install zip from SD card, choose zip from SD card, navigate to the file you uploaded CM7RevertKernel#126
7. Click on it and choose to install.
8. Should now boot you back into the cm7 rom. If this helps hit the Thanks button, if you have a problem shoot me a pm.

thank you for that but I wasn't able to reach recovery mode no matter what key combo I used. thanks for letting me know that none of kernels work with the nightlies. I'll steer clear in the future
which bootloader u've got? if it's Cappy one - push Vol + and Vol - and plug into USB and ifi9000 one - Vol- and power button
Hi um I'm pretty new to Android phones, and my Captivate's stuck in a bootloop...
I had CyanogenMod 9 on it, based on ICS 4.0.4, which i still have the .zip for if necessary. But I think I did something stupid... in the recovery (which said something about CWMrecovery) mode, I absent-mindedly formatted the /system directory... derp....
Now basically the phone shows the AT&T logo, then shows some kind of recovery screen, it only flashes up for a short time but I can see in the background both an android, like stock recovery mode, and the logo from ROM manager (or something very similar). There is some text at the bottom but it's very small and only flashes up for a split second so I can't read it... and what's worse, it won't boot into recovery...
I'm not exactly sure how to even do it, but random combinations of the volume & power buttons and home.. screen-area-thing work eventually.. but it's just not working now, as i hold the buttons it either just keeps rebooting before it gets past the AT&T logo or ignoring it completely, showing the recovery screen then rebooting again anyway
Sorry it's kinda long.. I tried to be detailed XD
tl;dr CM9 rom Captivate, formatted /system, stuck in bootloop, recovery mode won't work
Any help would be much appreciated
Edit: Forgot to say, I've searched around already but I haven't found anyone else who's bootloop is caused by formatting /system -.-
re flash the rom. you erased the rom.
dont wipe dont format just flash the rom again. you should be back as if it never happened.
If your in a boot loop you might want to invest in a jig, only $6 on eBay
You also said recovery doesn't work? Have you tried putting it into download mode?

jig will not help bootloop.
you are freaking out because of the bootloop and not holding the button combo for recovery long enough.
take out the battery. and replace
hold both volume buttons
then hold power
keep buttons held for 5 seconds AFTER screen comes on.
if your phone turns on and starts to boot, you have recovery and download.

Tried that, isn't working :\ it just ignores it, shows the recovery screen realy quick then reboots again...
I've had this happen on my captivate...only option is to flash back to a stock ROM and work your way back up to CM9 or whatever you were trying to flash originally. To do this your gonna have to get into download mode. A jiff is your best friend in this situation as suggested by several others. however if the button combo for download mode works for you, that is best. Try unplugging the battery, wait for like 10 seconds and plug back in. Have a PC running, and make sure you have the drivers installed. have the USB cable plugged into your computer, and while holding both the volume buttons down, plug the cable into your phone as well. This should put you into download mode and your good to go.

thanks cmilldrummin (and everyone else)
I got my phone into download mode fine... but i don't think I have the drivers :s (googling still, but can't find them so far)
Also I got it into recovery mode earlier, re-flashed the same custom ROM but when I tried to load it it just kept loading with the blue android on a skateboard until the battery ran out (It was the same one, CM9)
Is the like actual android system openable in download mode? so I could re-write the /system folder? if not I guess I'll just try to re-flash a stock rom then upgrade.. *crosses fingers*
Best way is to flash back to stock and start fresh.

Np Dolei, but yea back to stock is best, gives you a nice clean slate, with no glitches or errors
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
TRusselo is right. The other posts here are taking the sledgehammer approach for a simple fix. If you cannot get into recovery mode - you're doing it wrong, try again. reflash your rom from recovery and all done.

Try doing this, this has worked for me since I can't get into recovery with the traditional button combo method of holding all three buttons at the same time.
Turn the phone off. Hold the power button, vol up, vol down. Once the ATT boot screen comes on, let go of the power button. Keep holding the volume buttons and voila, you're in recovery.
Agree. Definitely go back to stock if possible first.
