I am running the flashable HC ver4 edition 2 on the emmc. I took the sd card out, and turned the power on. (stupid I know now, the NC looks to the sd card for a partition) It is now stuck, on a blank screen, except the word "Loading..." It won't shut off. I've tried holding the power button for a long time, with and without the "n" button. Any suggestions.

Having an odd issue with my Nook (rooted with Auto-Nooker).
When I power it off, I cannot seem to power it back on with the power button, unless I plug the USB cable in first. Any ideas? Is this normal? Thanks.
I had problems the first couple of power ups, then is started acting normal.
I just got ny nook last night and when i tried to wake it up this morning i had to plug it in. I hope it fixes itself soon.

Silly question perhaps, but a few people have forgotten... Did you remove the SD card with the Auto Nooter image and reformat it? Otherwise it will boot into that every time you try to turn it on.

This was my problem as well until I did what you said. Thanks for the reminder!
I was having the same issue in the beginning. Even without the sd card inserted, I'd have that issue. It seems to be fine now, though.
Are we supposed to see the Nook color custom boot animation with the little android guy on the bottom right, though? I thought it was just part of the rooting/setup.

Everytime I have rebooted I have seen that boot screen, so it should be normal
I have taken my card out and reformatted it. My issue is more so when i leave my nook alone for a long period of time and it is just sitting in sleep mode. I have to hold the power button to get it to come back on(it reboots).

I think that is intended, pretty sure you had to push the power button for a second or two stock as well... reduce accidental power ons?
Seems odd, but I found a way to start up my Nook Color without having to plug in the USB. If I press and hold the Home button for a few second, then press the power button, it'll come on.
The custom logo is a standard part of the rooting process. If you don't like it, you can revert to the standard by moving or renaming /data/local/bootanimation.zip
I have rooted my Nook color using the autonooter program and I am having a HUGE issue.
The Nook color will power up, but when it does it just freezes on the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen. If I have the SD card in it wont boot at all.
But when I plug it up to my PC or to the wall charger it will power up, but freeze at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen, while if I have the SD card in, it will freeze at the "n" logo screen, after the "this product contains abobe reader systems" pops up.
I am pretty sure I've bricked it and I dont want anyone elses' Nook color ending up like mine.
If you know of anything I can do then please, PLEASE tell me!!!!
Personally, I would run the stock release from B&N to revert back to 100% stock, and then try rerooting. The first time I rooted I ran into some issues and this was what I did to get it working right.
Hello guys, I am in need of some serious help, but please excuse me if I ask too many newbie questions.
I was running SlimROM on my Nook HD+ (I came back from running CM10.1>CarbonROM>SlimROM>CM10.1>SlimROM) and browsing the web late a couple of nights ago when the nook turned itself off. It rebooted itself and got stuck in the CM spinning logo for about 5 minutes. Since this had never happened to me before, i hard reset(held on the power button for long to force a restart) and now it is stuck on the Nook logo until the battery is fully drained. I tried rebooting it many times, while trying to force it into CWM recovery by pressing the vol down/vol down+home while turning it on. No effect, it just keeps showing the Nook logo.
So I brought out my SD card using which I had first installed CWM and CM upon receiving my new Nook HD+ and tried to boot from it. It starts up, shows the Nook logo, then goes on to Cynoboot Universal Bootloader logo for a few seconds, dims, then lights up again and gets stuck there. It then shuts down the Nook itself after a couple of minutes or so.
I brought this tablet with myself to Afghanistan, where I am currently stationed, so I cannot even go into a B&N store until my next R&R (not that I want to take an EMMC flashed Nook to B&N anyway). Please advise.
Am I going to have to buy a new tablet?
Thankyou very much in advance.

I thought the normal way to get to recovery is to power up with the nook button held down? - have you tried that?

Yes, i tried that first, then the vol down+power and then vol down+nook+power. I guess I was desperate, and searched everything remotely similar to the issue.

That is not the way to boot to recovery. You boot to recovery from power off by holding BOTH power and n for like 5-8 seconds, releasing power first followed a few seconds later by releasing n. But be careful how long you hold power, if you hold it too long it will power back off.

Yes sir, that's what I meant I tried. I have (successfully) force booted my way into recovery a couple of times before, but this time it is just stuck on the Nook logo (or cyanoboot logo if I power up with the CWM/CM SD inserted)
Wow. So many views on the post.
Guess the tablet is done for then.
Anyway, thankyou devs of CWM, CM and other ROMs who made my short journey with my first Android so very informative.
Would love to come back here when I buy my new tablet. I think it will be the new Galaxy note 10.1. Or the Nexus 10.
'Till then.

I'm a real newbie to this stuff, so I may be talking rubbish and I'm not familiar with the ROM you were using, but is it possible you're emmc is damaged, for instance by trim. I know there are some people on the board running of special SDCard only roms, and some talk of possible ways to recover damaged emmc.
The reason I say this is it seems stuff is working up to a point, I think even the normal bootable SDCards and recovery partition probably try to mount some things from the emmc, and I wonder if this is where it's freezing up.
I had Clockwork mod and cyanogen installed and tried to upgrade to 11.
long story short, the nook hd+ now only shows the "Nook contains reader..." screen for about 1 second before going to black, and then showing this screen again. This happens interminably until I hold the power button long enough to shut it off.
I cannot find any reference to a Nook HD+ being bricked to this level. Any ideas?
Got it to Boot
I got it to boot from a 32GB microSD by following these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
Until recently, my HD+ has continued to labor on almost flawlessly since converting over to full Android quite some time ago. It is currently running v5.1.1/CM 12.1-20151018 Ovation.
In the last two months it has started to simply not boot up (even while fully charged) unless I plug it in. Even then, it takes several minutes before it boots. I can get it to reboot while unplugged, but if I fully shut it off by holding down the power button, it will not restart unless I plug it in again.
Have had to go to holding the power button down for full shutoff as it also will spontaneously reboot if you select power off from the menu.
As it has not exhibited any issues until now, I am clueless as to what is going on.
I am using it only for viewing photos taken with my digital camera via its sd card, using it for graphic novels, and using the Prestigio ereader for for ebooks with photographs and color plates.
Other than the apps for the graphic novels and Prestigio, I have it totally stripped down and don't even use the wifi connection.
Will be very greatful for any assist with fixing this.
Could it be as simple as refreshing 12.1 or should I go back to 11.1?
PS: Appears to be related to having the sd card inserted or not. Will start with card out when it won't with it in. Cannot reboot into TWRP.
PPS: It was definitely the sd card used to configure the Nook. Replaced it with a clean one and (almost) all of the problems disappeared.
Still does a spontaneous reboot if I use the software "Power Off" from the menu once the power button is pushed.
If I hold the power button it will fully turn off and not reboot. and then starts normally.
For the limited use I have configured it for, I should leave "well enough" alone at this point.
Any ideas as to the spontaneous restarts???
It still has one of the best screens around!!!
Thanks in advance.
