Currently I am running nookie froyo 0.6.8 from the internal rom but I am having the following problem even when I had eclair with autonooter. When I am turning off my nook for the night, in the morning I am stuck at the "Touch the future..." screen and I can only boot through clockwork recovery and choose reboot. I think that it started when I flashed clockwork for the first time, but I am not sure. Any ideas?

I am searching the forums to find an answer to the same problem. I am running stock eclair that has been autonootered. I don't have clockwork installed. I can always boot with the sdcard to Honeycomb.. sometimes I can then reboot back into Eclair.
i had this one time, i try the 8 failed boot's to restore, didn't restore but rebooted to eclair!
arf, i'm having the same problem after all..
I had the same thing happen to me had to reformat cache if I wanted to boot into froyo,its a great system but that one problem did me in went back to stock and rooted the NC and plan on staying this way I just give up flash.Looked all over for fix or someone to explain why but never did get an answer sorry i couldnt help you but if i find answer will let you know
ok will look forward when i have time
At this point i can boot by pressing power + n for 30s, it boot to recovery, then i choose "reboot"
Yes that's right, this is the only way I can boot too (power but. + n).
when rebooted i lower setcpu to 1ghz max. it seems to help to boot ..
There are some really good unbricking//"my nook won't boot" sort of threads to be found in the developers section; but this one should be more than enough to fix your issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Additionally, I find that reflashing to a stock ROM or restoring a previous working backup image from CWM is the best way to go about it. Good luck!
I have the same problem too. Just remove the SD card on power on (reboot with software is OK)
Looking for better fix.

Thx, I'll take a look at that if I ever have booting issues.
Think this is caused by the recovery image. Upgrade your recovery to the latest version 3.0.1.0 and see if that fixes it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
Going to try that today ..I just looked and i do have an older recovery file so maybe that is the problem will report back later on it.
Did the update, I will shut it off for the night and will check it in the morning.

I also read CWR does not get along with 1.1..I just updated CWR and it still did the same thing what Im going to do now is clean restore then custom froyo then after setup go to market get rom manager install reboot into recovery and then install the remove crw with root file.
I downloaded the restore to stock zip file. Put it on the sd card. Then used the power and "n" to get to the butloader. Chose install from sd card and it installed. Back to operational!

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):
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.
Ok so here's what happened.
I rooted my nook with autonooter 3.0.0, then I installed rom manager to install cwm. I installed the latest version of cwm and I tried to make a backup, it ended up in my nook only booting in cwm. So I found a cwm removal script and removed cwm. I booted my nook and opened rom manager and I decided to try an older version of cwm. I pressed make a backup in rom manager and it just went into a boot loop. I can't really turn off my nook, and I can't really turn it on. It just keeps going to "touch the future of reading", then turns off, then a couple of minutes later, goes back to "touch the future of reading". To make it clear, I do not have a backup.
So can anyone please assist me in fixing my nook? I'm in a dead end here.
Sounds like a boot loop try
Method one: Eight interrupted Boots
1. Power off the nook.
2. Tap the power button.
3. As soon as Welcome to the future of reading appears, hold the power button down to interrupt the boot process.
* If the boot animation does not appear, add 1 to your interrupted boot count.
* If the boot animation DOES appear, your interrupted boot count is reset to zero. Start over.
4. Repeat from step 2 until your failed boot count reaches 8. At this point, the nook will re-flash its /system partition. You will see the process on the right.

i went through this yesterday... i was told you can't brick a nook color so I restored it back to the original firmware...go to this website www.theunlockr.com then click the how to's then go to Android and look for Nook Color then look for how to restore to stock firmware and follow the instructions. they worked for me and I'm sure they will work for you also...Good Luck

You need to boot a stock image. Try this link http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...ll-clockwork-recovery-revert-stock-image.html
I'm So hoping someone will help me, I tried to root my device but it didn't work I couldnt get off the software so I installed 2gb clockwork 0.7 and nook complete restore 1.0.1 I followed all tutorials carefully, but when it comes to restore data it says no files found. Lost, I went ahead with the restore. It appeared to work except now I get a message flashing up that I cant read the screen just flashes and I think the partitions are lost too. I'm on the verge of tears. (im a girl dont judge) lol. And I'm lost with my expensive doorstop. PLEASE can anyone help me fix this as i'm at a loss (
No need to worry. The nice thing about the NC is that it will always boot from the SD card first. Sounds like you tried this...I suggest deleting everything you have (clockwork mod files, stock restore files etc) re-download everything and start fresh.
on your computer, format your uSD card, use Win32DiskImager to flash the clockwork mod boot image onto the uSD card and copy over the stock restore files. Place the uSD card into the NC and reboot. you should boot into clockwork mod and from there you can install the stock zip file from the uSD card.
GL!
Thanks,
I managed to get it working by resetting 8 times and booting a factory reset, but now it wont install any updayes and i'm stuck on the poo 1.01 software. I tried putting the official update on clockwork and booting from there but it says file bad with any version I use (screams in frustration)
This will fix your partitions
It was awhile ago, so I don't remember the exact steps, but the following file will fix everything...
nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip
When you unzip it you will get the following:
nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.img
You will need a program like 'WinImage' to write this image file to your SD Chip. Once done, boot your Nook with this chip and install Froyo. You probably don't want Froyo, but thats OK. This is just the first step... but it is key.... This install will 100% recreate and fix all your partitions.
Now you have two choices,
1. Find a stock nook image, and install it to your nook. I think it is 1.01
or
2. Find 'boot.img' and 'system.img' for the nook color. Write those to a bootable SD chip and install.
I am not sure if it was #1 or #2 that worked for me. Try #1 first. If it works, you will be able to start up your nook and register it with B and N. Then you can download their 1.2 update and install it as they instruct.
Good luck.
Follow this thread and you can get it back to original stock 1.0 or 1.01 and then do the updates as normal by waiting for OTA or sideloading them.

Thank you guys I've followed your steps and also looked around this site and im back on the latest stock software. I appreciate your help
Hello.
I have a little problem here and need some advise please. I bought my nook and it came with v1.1.0 firmware. I rooted my nook yesterday and installed rom manager and subsequently CWR. When I flashed cwr I used nook color not nook color old. When ever I tried to make a backup of the rom using cwr it would not mount /system.
I then reflashed cwr and tried nook color old and was able to perform a backup (or so I thought). After the backup was complete the phone rebooted into cwr and now I can get the nook to reboot. It always reboots back into cwr. I have tried turning the nook off and rebooting as well as restoring the nand backup that I just made but it still will only go back to the cwr section.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not have any other backups saved on my computer that I can go to. Would you suggest taking out my sd card and installing something on it trying something that way?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Best,
Anything anyone. I have tried just about all I know and still cant get it. I am able to burn the honeycomb image and boot up with the sd card but of course as soon as I remove it and restart the nook reboots straight into CWM recovery.
I have tried factory reset and all but still nothing. Any ideas please.
here you go - post 7 in this thread has the fix:
Thanks smitty. I just found it as you posted. Much appreciated though. Now I am back to stock and am stuck on the registration. Attempts to register with B&N for some reason wont go through. Gonna search it a bit to see if I can find a solution. Am sure someone else has had this problem.

CWR Couldn't mount the system partition because there is a bug with the current CWR, you have to install the "kernel" manually. And don't use the "Old nook CRW" either.
Follow the directions found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
To make it short, using ROM Manager, flash the latest CRW 3.0.1.0 for Nook Color. (No flash old one)
Then use ADB to push the kernel file to the boot partition and you are set.
I flash my NC with CM7.0, now everything seems working fine, but I found there are sometime(not always) it stuck at boot animation, after touch the future of reading, it just stuck there.
this happens alot when I turn it off for long time, I am not sure what is the problem seems it doesn't happen every time.
I am having the same problem, but noticed that if i take the SD card out the NC starts normally. so i am figuring somthing is left on there from the install that is causing the hang up.... or maybe it is something else and i am too naive to realize what it is. Any help would be appreciated.
Using CM7.0 stable.
I tried to install CM7 on my nook color and i didnt follow the proper method and instead saved the CM7 file to the root of my sd card and installed the zip through clockworkrecovery without wiping or cache and now im stuck at the android boot screen. It isnt the CM7 skateboard android boot but rather the plain android root boot screen. If anyone could help it would be helpful thank you! IM crying right now about it

Hold power+n for 10 seconds to turn off
Clockwork bootable sd card, wipe system/data/cache (not boot), install cm7 from zip, install gapps from zip.
This is for a clean fresh install.
I made the same mistake yesterday going from stock nook to cm7 on nook #3 (so used to flashing nightlies on the other 2 i forgot to wipe system first)
Yesterday I decided to update my Cm7 from 7.0.2 to 7.1.0. I erased the Data and the Cache before installing 7.1.0. I then installed the gapps and update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411ext4.zip so that I could overclock.
When I rebooted I first get the cyanogen mod logo the I just got the text saying android in the corner and nothing else. I rebooted 20-30 times and I never goes away.
If I hit the N while the cyanogens logo is up it boots into Encore U-boot menu, which I never installed or have seen before.
From there if I select “Boot Mode: Recovery” and then “Boot Now” but then it just goes to a blank screen.
Now I’m starting suspect that the blank screen might be the Clockwork Recovery because when I hit the N button twice it reboots as if I were in Recovery and selecting Reboot and confirm.
I tried getting into Clockwork Recovery the normal way which was to hold the power and the N button then powering it on but it doesn’t take me into it. I've also tried holding the power button with each of the volume button. No luck there either.
So first of all what did I do wrong. Second, how do I get into Clockwork Recovery and fix this?

You seem to mess things up.
Firstly, you failed to indicate where the CM7 currently running from.
Secondly, you force us to guess:
a. By saying this "I tried getting into Clockwork Recovery the normal way which was to hold the power and the N button then powering it on but it doesn’t take me into it." I assume you are running CM7 from uSD.
b. And from this "and update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411ext4.zip so that I could overclock." You are telling us that you had installed Dalingrin kernel of an eMMC version.
CM7 running from the device and not the sd card
I don't know what an eMMc is.
Good to know you're running CM7 from eMMC (referred to the internal memory)
1. Since you got the stable 7.1, you don't need to install that OLD 042411 version of Dalingrin kernel.
2. A question, how did you perform those updates? from ROM Manager or from CwMR uSD card?
This is the video that I used to show me how to initially put gingerbread cm 7.0.2 on my nook then I first got it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88qRbLLEAPQ&feature=related
And then yesterday I tried to install the CM 7.1.0 and the overclock kernal I mentioned above.
Did I brick my nook?

Here is the Clockwork Recovery download link from the video:
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/downloads/
I don't know if it has been updated from when I did it earlier this year.
Also,
I tried putting the micro sd card back in that had the software that automatically installed the Clockwork but it didn't do anything. I would have thought that it would have tried to re-install the Clockwork recovery.
I'm at a loss on what I can try next. Does anyone know what I can try?

Do you know if I can use can 3.2.x.x for my nook? I got it towards the beginning when they first came out so its an older nook. I wonder because your link says that newer nooks are not compatible with can 3.0.x.x because the partitions are different. Do you know of a link that says what nooks are compatible with what cwm's?
The newer CWR is compatible with all Nooks, new and old.
