Long story short:
I was running this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926116
and decided to reflash it. After flashing Firerat's Recovery another time (from the same file on the SD card that I have used many times before,) I rebooted into ClockWorkMod recovery and went to flash zip. from sd card but it could not find the sd card and then crashed. I then went into the rom that already existed, it could not read the sd card either. Not knowing what to do, I then went and followed the instructions for "if you found yourself stuck without recovery:" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 here. From there I did a hard reset and now the phone is running Android 1.1, but the Sd card slot still doesn't work.
(Kind of unrelated, when I just got the phone the camera would not work, and would Force Close whenever I tried it. Same thing on any Rom I tried on the G1. After the hard reset however, it started working.)
Anybody know what to do?
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

how did you get yours to turn off, my screen says loading... and is stuck there. any help in getting mine to shut off would be helpful
Does holding power button for a few seconds turn it off?
Same thing happened to me, this fixed my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986977
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 rooted my nook yesterday using the autonooter 3.0 which i guess is not official, but anyways, I'm just not happy with it and I would like to get my Nook back to stock. However, when I try to do 8 failed boots, it won't cancel the boot when I press the power button. I mean I am jamming it down and it still goes through the boot.
Unfortunately, I also have not figured out how to get adb working. I followed the instructions on nookDevs and adb devices kept showing my SN as 11223344556677. Mind you it was showing up fine in device manager as Android composite ADB device. I figured heck with it I'll just root it. Now its not showing up at all.
So it seems like I'm hosed as far as resetting my nook. Any way out of this?
install clockwork recovery and use that to flash the stock rom.
ok well I installed ROM manager and then flashed CWR to my SD card. I then made a backup of my current rom in case I somehow decided to go back to it. But after selecting reboot system now in CWR it keeps booting into CWR. How do i get out of it?
Is the SD card flashed to CWR still in there? Is like a pc set to boot from the cd drive before hdd, no matter what, if theres a sd card in it, it will try to boot from it first..
You can remove the sd card when in CWR just remove it and then select reboot

Yeah, I took it out. But for some reason it didnt recognize it wasnt in there. so it was pretty much boot cycling just it was going into CWR. I just flashed the stock 1.0.1 ROM so it's working now, just have to reregister the nook.
Hi Everybody,
First of all - please accept my apologies if this question has been asked before. I have searched the forum and I wasn't able to solve my problem in any way described (that I could find that is).
Second, and I know this sound stupid, but I honestly do not know what I did wrong and where I ****ed up. I have rooted my stock NC and it worked fine. I have also played around a lot with the Froyo from SD - and that too worked fine. Today I decided to give the CyanogenMod version on the built-in flash and that too went OK and it was running perfectly. At some point I accidently managed to boot it half-way up on a flash card and now the NC is half dead.
The NC still boot fine on the Froyo sd card and on the recovery flash I used to install the CyanogenMod, but without a flash card inserted, the NC is completely dead. I can press and hold the on/off button as much as I like, I can hold the nook button while doing on/off - nothing - and I do mean nothing happens.
I have tried the the flash stock-1.0.1-CRW.2.zip recovery that install a new /boot and it installs fine - but still - the moment I remove the SD card, the NC is dead again.
Any ideas? I feel I have tried pretty much everything.
Solved!
Managed to solve that one myself. The trick was to use the second image not the first one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
You said you booted it up on a flash card? CM7 is not meant to be bootable on flash card.
No, after playing around with an installed CM7 it got to a point where all of a sudden it was completely dead without a flash card (not even a small flash on the screen when powering on/off) but with my Froyo 2.2 card inserted it booted just fine.
As it turned out I think I know what happened (basically because I just did it again). I used the CM7 "Format Flash" to prepare a clean flash card for storage - but when I do that it screws up the internal system (probably the /boot partition).
Anyway - the recovery flash that uses dd to copy the entire partition worked just fine.
Hey,
Been trying to reset the tab to factory defaults the tab does his mojo untill it reboots into android 2.3.6 and then everything is still on the internal SD card.
Then i went to hook it up on the pc tried manually deleting everything on the internal SD pc say's its done i look in the tab and its all still there.
Tried copy'ing files over to the SD card but does not wanne stay on it.
Ok now then i went on booting odin up and rooted it + cwm recovery on it it does it like a charm and works can boot into the recovery.
Now since i cant hold any roms on the internal sd card i went on using an external sd card put on cm 10.2 and gapps,
Installed the rom then reboots into a newer version of cwm and it tells me its not rooted.
ok fine i restarted the tab and went back into recovery then it was rooted.
Went on to install the cm 10.2 and gapps now its hanging at the cm logo on boot
So i went on to flash dbdata.rfs.tar wich normally gets me passed a bootloop.
This time however it dident work.
Anybody has any ideas i can still try to get it to work ?
I think its more of a lock on the internal SD card since it can't hold any files nor delete's anything but im not sure hopefully some1 with some more experience then me can help me further on this problem
Thx
Not locked. The internal SD chip is failing.
You will see many post that has symptoms such as: previous owner info cannot be removed. New data cannot be saved. Wiping failed.
My mind was vaguely thinking that but still hoping it wasent
