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 ?

I recommend flashing this ROM instead though (pre-rooted 1.1):

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.
Not sure what I did while in recovery, but it was looping after trying to update Phiremod with a auto update. Screen went black and ever since my pc with not recognize the nook being plugged in nor will it boot into recovery with the appropriate zip and image on my sd card.
Any clues would be much appreciated

There's no way you bricked an "unbrickable" device. You may just have to create a CWM SD and restore your previous Phiremod ROM.
P.S. SD boot priority ROCKS!!

Challenge Accepted!
The first thing to try if you're getting no response is to hold down 'n' while powering on and see what happens. Otherwise, hit the pinned "My Nook won't boot" thread in General.
Try booting with no SD card in. If that works some Androids I have played with don't like to boot with the ROM zip on the root. The nook especially gets stuck trying to boot from the SD when there is nothing to boot on it.

I am just saying I have tried all of the above and there is no response from my nook. I have the CMW SD and nothing, I have tried holding down the n while powering on, nothing I have tried booting with no SD, nothing.

just got back from Barnes and Noble, they could not get the Nook to be recognized on their computer with a new cord either

yes everything has been done over and over, the nook is not recognized by the pc which in turn won't allow me to boot to anything.
wonder if the screen went bad
but then again, if it is powering on and the screen is bad, you should see it via adb
if the port and the screen went bad, then you didnt brick it per say, but its just hardware failure.
if its under warranty and registered, id say try to get it rma'd
if it is truely dead, they cant say that you voided the warranty
The sdcard adapter being used to burn the cwm or cyanogenmod install can influence whether or not the nook will boot from it.
Try burning the sdcard using a different adapter. I ended up using both the nook itself as well as my phone plugged into my PC as any attempt to boot from an sdcard burnt from the adapter that came with it will not even power on when inserted into the nook.
Hope this helps.

I saw in the other forum. Glad you got it working.....
While I was DE-registering my NOOK HD+ I pull the SD card. It pop up a dialogue box saying something has crashed. I dismissed it and proceeded the process again. Now my NOOK stuck at the NOOK logo. When I put in a SD card with CWM it does not get pass cyanoboot logo. How have a CWM backup for my nook but since it can't load CWM I can't do any restore. Please help.

Try doing a 8 failed boot reset. Interrupt the boot without the SD in 8 times in a row. Just hold the power button for a few seconds after each boot try. It will format everything and install the factory rom. Then maybe you can boot the CWM SD and restore.

Dear Leapinlar,
Thank you very much for your advise. Have already done many power down and up etc. Just tried it again, see the Nook logo, press the power button until it disappear, press the button until it appear etc. Done more than 8, no luck. Is there some timing requirement? How does the home button come into play concerning some low level signal to which code? Tech support guy from BnN asked me to hold the two buttons for 30-40s, no luck there.
The fact that cyanoboot logo appear with the CWM does that mean code introduced by the SD card is gaining control but was stuck looking for something that was not there? Is there a version that can just boot up and let me do some restoring?

Without the SD in, the booting to n logo and powering off many times should kick in the reset. Maybe you are powering off when it is trying to reset. Let it go with booting for a few seconds before you power off, to make sure it is not in the reset mode.
EDIT: Wait till the n dims (or even a little longer) each time before you power off. That way you are sure it is not in the reset mode.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
Try pressing N (or it could've been N + power button) without the SD card in, right after switching on the device. You should have a menu appear to hard reset the device.
EDIT: Actually, you might need to press N before turning on the device. I definitely seen this menu while playing around with the buttons.

I say you can try put CWM on diff card and try booting off diff card. At least that's one last thing you haven't try. Still, that's not gonna fix your stock nook, unless you made a backup.

I was a bit hasty posting that, but now that I can see that you can see 'cyanoboot' logo, it appear that it does boot from sd card, just not a successful one. So, at least it seem the bootloader partition on the nook isn't corrupt. So, I'm pretty sure trying a diff card should work. We have at least a few people confirming to have similar problem after running CM10.1 on the HD+.

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?

Updated my CM10.2 mod to the snapshot daily last night, resulted in a massive boot loop. Couldn't get it to stop, restore didn;t work for some reason. So I tried to take it back to CM10.2 using a bootable sd card, it was updating then rebooted...and all I get now is a non working nook hd+. I can't get it to even power up connected to my PC. I did the power/home key combo and no results. I'm crushed. I don't know how to fix it. I have a $200 paperweight atm. :crying:

You said you got it to boot to a bootable CWM SD. If you can still do that, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and flash a plain stock zip from item 6 there followed by a factory reset with CWM.

Hey Basilla as someone trying to balance whether to root/install cyanogen, did you have positive results restoring to stock? Hope you did. Cheers.
It was quite easy AFTER if got the darn thing to boot into recovery mode. First I got it into recovery & immediately
installed the last stable version of CM. Then I rolled the stock ROM. After I registered my device etc again in went ahead & rooted it and put the stable CM 10 back on my device. East peasy, took about 15 minutes total after it booted to recovery mode. Will not update again until another stable version is released.

Hey Basilla, thanks for the info on your success. Have a great day and I'm glad you got it working!
