Do a factory reset, install the update, then use the new autonooter.
how to do a factory reset? thanks, I am a newbie to this area!
Not sure how much I can help-
Just how "bricked" is it?
A truly bricked device will do nothing. It will not start or do anything whatsoever.
A machine that is thoroughly HOSED may get stuck in a boot loop, or try to start and fail every time you press the power button.
When I forced the update manually it took a few minutes to take and reboot; how long ago did it do the update?
Have you tried connecting with adb yet?
Have you tried booting it with a nooter or auto-nooter sd card yet?

Instructions for manually updating.
Here is my situation:
Around 9:30, my NC started updated itself, it reboot in about 15 minutes, and takes a very long time get to the "nook color" screen, then took another 10 minutes letting me select "home or zeam", after that, it has no response.
I tried to reboot, it got up to the "Nook Color" welcome screen, no further response!
I tried to factory reset, not working through adb, it did appear on the adb devices command!
Do a factory reset and start over.
I ran into a similar problem, but here is what happened to me:
1. I reset the device to factory settings.
2. I rebooted the nook 8 times, stopping the boot process. This took my NC back to factory version and no rooting at all.
3. Installed NC update 1.01 per B&N instructions.
4. Used AutoNooter (latest version for 1.01). AutoNooter rebooted the device as it is supposed to.
5. After AutoNooter reboot, I installed Astro File Manager and then after that the NC stopped responding to screen touch.
6. I held the power button to shut the device down. Strangely, the screen shut off and it appeared to be shut down, but I think it did not truly shut down.
7. I could not turn the NC back on. I tried to reset to factory settings 2-3 times and no response.
8. I plugged in my NC as if to charge, and it went through the boot process.
and it has worked just fine since then. To be honest it kind of scared me, because I love this thing to death, but I remained calm and kept at it and it was not bricked. I guess what I'm trying to say is that before you post here that the new update bricks the NC, you should be absolutely sure it is bricked and not just frozen like mine was.

Brick, like you can't do anything at all anymore, might as well lay it on papers, use it as a door stop and pour cement to build a house?
That's what bricked means... If you still can access it via ADB, run recovery, etc.. it is far from "BRICKED"...

I've had my NC rooted for 3 weeks. No probs. I decided to update to 1.0.1 to see if wifi was better and so I entered the adb command to force system update and all seemed to be well. After that it went into a boot loop.
I forced another "update" by powering down 8x during bootup. It reinstalled and then same problem. I then tried the directions at nookdevs to fix boot loops. I couldn't ssh into the NC, but to my surprise I could use adb, but I can't do the listed commands because I get "permission denied".
I did an adb logcat and I get nonstop info going by, mostly looking for stuff that shouldn't be there anymore, i.e. apps I loaded when it was rooted. Dalvik cache??
So, long story short, I've tried a system wipe 4x now and I'm stuck in an endless boot loop BUT I do have adb access. What now?

Haha. Good call. That did work. Bigtime brain fart. Trying all the hard stuff and not the easiest. What's the diff between the two methods?

Head over to Nook Devs for the breakdown of the two.. Both methods are requied for using the newest AutoNooter... Glad to hear the device is still in working order.
Stuck in Boot Loop
Noob here with a problem. I’ve had my NC rooted for 5 days and the rooting went well. I had all my favorite android apps up and running. However I was experiencing random reboots (2-3 times per day). So, I decided to unroot and let the 1.0.1 update install and then I was going to use Auto-Nooter 2.12.18 to get everything back.
I did the 8X reboot thing and after reloaded, the NC went into a boot loop. The first thing I tried to do was the n, volume+ and power button. It simply went back to the boot loop.
I immediately put the auto-nooter sdcard in the NC, plugged in the usb to the pc. As opposed to the other times I did this, I got no visual indication that the PC recognized or activated the NC. I waited the full 5 minutes and removed it. The boot animation had changed, but the NC stayed in the boot loop.
I then searched and found this on nookdev.com (nookdevs.com/NookColor_Fix_Boot_Loops ). Following the instructions there, I installed putty.exe in the same folder as adb.exe. Putty would start and the session window would open, but I could not type or paste anything into the ssh screen. I assumed I had a bad download so I redid that and the install – no luck. I then searched and found another site from which I could download putty.exe, same results.
Before I ejected the NC I opened the command line window and I did adb devices and it came back with nothing. So now my NC is not recognized by the PC (and was before all this).
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help with the putty ssh screen issue? Any help will be appreciated.

Out of desperation I downloaded putty.exe again and it worked this time. Using the script on the nookdev.com website, the NC booted. I then did the data wipe and the 8X reset. I'm now back to stock (mostly) and I'll see if it updates tonight. If not, I'll force it tomorrow and don the new auto-nooter.
I'm learning!!
Glad you fixed yours too. This device is nearly impossible to brick unless you deliberately try to. Definitely easy to undo hard work, but hard to brick.
I have the same problem. Minutes after rooting with autonooter, my Nook restarted and I didn't even set up ADB access. I tried reseting several times with no luck Please help!!
Mine is currently stuck in a boot loop as well. I did not update to the newer firmware it auto-updated and jacked everything up. Pretty upset right now.
I know I can reset the device but I need to get the data from it first. I have the entire storage full of data that I need. It will not boot at all and if this gets erased i'll more than likely end up returning the device and purchasing something that I won't have this problem with every update.
Unfortunately, there aren't many devices that will automatically backup all your important data to external media without you having to take some action on your own to set that up.

Well, I'm not an expert, but I have been through this kind of thing. I would think you have two possibilities. One would be to put the nooter sdcard back in and hook it to the computer again. If it isn't very corrupted, it may automatically reload from the nooter sdcard.
If that won't work, then I think it's time to do the 3 finger data wipe and then the 8X reboot thing. You can then redo the nooter sdcard thing.
Good luck.

EXACT Same thing happened to me and a friend when using autonooter and 1.0.1. I think there is a problem with autonooter or 1.0.1 messing up the booting process. I wonder whats wrong So I was able to do the 8X reboot thing and get back to stock 1.0.0 and from here I'll try to attempt to use autonooter for 1.0.1. But I'm staying with 1.0.0 until Froyo next month.
thanks! the 8x thing worked good, I did the whole auto noot process again and it works at all except by this market issue
I did a manual shutdown because I couldn't kill some goofy NES rom app. Now it won't reboot. Do I have to replace the SD card with the imaged one every time I want to restart this thing?
No... Sounds like you medded something up when you manually rebooted, though. Oh well, just restore to factory and reroot and you should be fine Id bet...

Crapcrapcrap. I think I broke it.
I tried to do the factory reset as you suggested but it wouldn't do ANYTHING. I did some more searching and finally got it to work by holding power button plus volume up plus home button and then holding power button. But it went to the future of reading screen and then the Nook screen and wouldn't do anything. More searching told me to reset it 8 times and on the 9th it would completely restore factory, so I tried that.
It seemed to have worked but then went into ANDROID boot/initialize sequence and was repeating that over and over and over. Seems weird that it would boot Android after a complete reset, but I digress....
I thought maybe it was because the imaged card was not in, so I inserted that into the slot. Same thing....repeat over and over Android boot up sequence.
I powered it down manually and it seemed dead again - not booting back up by traditional means. I tried holding different buttons, whatever...FINALLY got it to the future of reading screen again. Proceeded to boot up - Android sequence....you guessed it, on repeat. No card in now. Crap!
Please help! Newbie here not sure what to do!
your case is similar to what I experienced yesterday. I took out my memory card, and did factory reset and 8-time reset trick. On the 9th it installed a fresh rom (1.0.0), and booted successfully afterwards.

Thanks for the response jerry. Something is definitely jacked here.
I did the 8-time reset again....Got the message it was installing a software update, the future of reading screen, etc.....and then it went into the freaking Android boot sequence on repeat again. Why is it booting up Android instead of 1.0.0?
No memory card here, either. I am totally flustered.
I would really appreciate any help that anyone out there can provide. Did I brick this thing?
Update. I powered it down from the Android reboot cycle and then followed the instructions here to perform another factor reset. Somehow this time it worked. It rebooted with 1.0.0 and made me go through the setup steps again.
I think I'm going to upgrade to 1.0.1 this time before rooting....I was having some bugs and somehow it culminated in the above debacle. Hopefully it is smooth sailing from here.
Something is still messed up here and I'm not sure what's going on.
As mentioned above, I finally got the thing to reset, clear, and boot back up with 1.0.0....or at least so I thought.
I had only ordered one book and it was present on the reboot - not sure if that is significant or not. At any rate, my initial plan was to update to 1.0.1 like I mentioned since I seemed to have issues/bugginess before w/ 1.0.0. I downloaded the .zip file to my desktop, copied it over exactly as instructed and the thing never rebooted with the update. I waited and waited. I put it to sleep and waited. I woke it up. I tried to navigate to it. Nothing.
Ok, perhaps another fluke. From what I've read the update is unimportant anyway. So I tried to root again with auto-nooter on 1.0.0. Followed steps again to a T. Even re-downloaded all of the files to my computer just to eliminate issues. Put my card in, plugged it into my laptop....never found any drivers. CN stayed off. Tried to boot it up manually - nothing. Tried to reset it manually w/ Power + home + volume up. Nothing.
Finally I removed the SD card and booted it up and it worked. During initialization I quickly put my card into the slot and it booted Android successfully....much like the first time I rooted it.
It is working...but not like it is supposed to. I'm wary to go down this path again considering the trouble I eventually encountered last time. Should I start over? What the hell did I do wrong?
Okay, so last night, i decided I would go big or go home and try to root my phone. I was very successful and unlocking the bootloader, but was confused what to do after that. (I'm newb). So I downloaded Rom Manager on my phone, chose the ROM I wanted, and tried to reboot, but it said it couldn't install the ROM, because superuser didn't have the proper permissions. At this time it's about 2am, and I wanted to go to bed. In my knowledge I know i had the proper superuser.zip in my sdcard, and i had the CWM i wanted to flash on my sdcard. So I turned off my phone and plugged it into a wall charger, not looking at the LED, and went to bed. I woke up with the phone plugged in, and nothing showing (ie: LEDs, bootscreen). I unplugged the phone, and re-plugged it in, and the LED flashed once, and that was it.
NOW I CAN'T CHARGE THE PHONE, TURN IT ON, BOOT INTO HBOOT. MY COMPUTER DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT EITHER. PLEASE HELP

Umm well ure battery is probably just dead. Charge it for a couple hours (you might not be able to access phone for like 20-30 minutes). After you can boot up, plug it into your computer and flash the recovery to the phone (its in every guide im not explaining it here). Then, go into CWM and flash the super-user arm script (once again, in every guide so im not explaining it here). Finally, ditch the ROM manager app and learn to do everything by hand so you actually know whats what in the recovery. BTW which guide are u following.

I just re-flashed. I guess I had a broken ROM. Just redownloaded the mirror, and re-flashed, everything works fine
Hi all,
It seems that I've made a stupid mistake when re-calibrating the battery for my HD+: my battery was not shown properly before, when there was 3500 mV it shows 1%, but I forced the calibration anyway, so I think now the machine regards 3500 mV as 1%. The thing is, after I turn it off, I'll never be able to turn it on again because it will only turn on when the battery is 5% or higher, which will never happen. Does know how I could change it back again please, like writing a standard batterystat.bin back into the machine again? The ROM is CM10.1.3 btw. Thanks a lot in advance!

Any ideas guys?
I've never recalibrated the battery, so I'm not entirely sure how it works. However, why not reset everything on your Nook whilst you still can? So go back to stock, then do a reset by failing to boot up 8 times.
So, firstly download the Nook Stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613 It's on step 6. Also download plain stock, so that it is NOT rooted.
Once downloaded, burn CWM onto a SD card. Copy the NookHDplus-factory-2.1.x-plain-stock.zip to your SD card, after burning CWM. Now, insert the SD card and restart your Nook.
It should boot into CWM. Here, flash the stock ROM. Once flashed, reboot your system. Now do the following to reset your Nook back to factory settings:
Turn off your Nook;
Turn on your Nook;
Immediately after turning on, and you see the text "Nook", hold the power button until the device turns off;
Do the above steps eight (8) times.
Make sure you keep a note of how many times you have done the above, to ensure you have actually turned off the Nook 8 times. What doing the above will do is, it'll hard-reset your Nook back to factory settings. After 8 times, so on the 9th go; turn it on, and it should reset everything.
I hope that solves your issue. Again, I've never recalibrated the battery, so I don't know if it's a hardware change or software. All the best.

One correction. If you are going to do the 8 failed boot procedure, you do not need to download and flash my plain stock zip first. It gets overwritten by the 8 failed boot reset anyway. Just do the 8 failed boot.
But he said he could not get it to respond, so not sure the 8 failed boot will work without installing plain stock first. But if he does install it first, he does not need to do the 8 failed boot, just factory reset with CWM and everything should be ok.

Hi HiddenG,
Thanks a lot for your reply, unfortunately this method does not seem to work. I can't turn it on, not even to the screen showing Nook (remember, the machine thinks it only has 1% of battery), so all I get is a charging symbol if charger is connected, or nothing if not. Do you know other way to wipe it back to factory settings please?
Thanks again.
