Hi all. I rooted my NC using auto-nooter 3.0. Eventually had problems with wi-fi so I decided to go back to stock by following directions on theunlockr.com. Had a bit of a glitch at the end but I finally got it back to stock. Now I want to re-root, same as before, but when I put in auto-nooter sd card and plug in usb cable, it boots into Clockwork recovery screen which didn't happen the first time around. What do I do now?

My NC wont boot no matter what I do. When I connect it to my pc (windows xp) I get an RNDIS ethernet gadget in the new hardware notifications. The nook was rooted but I did a hard reboot before finishing the setup because it wouldn't connect to my google account. The NC wont even show the "touch the future of reading screen" and I cant get adb to find the device. I rooted when I had freshly wiped everything and downgraded to 1.0.0 then I upgraded to 1.0.1 then I rooted. It worked fine until after the hard reset.
HELP!!!!
FIX!
I'm sorry for the double post, but I want to make this clearly visible when someone else has this problem.
So, all you have to do to get it to boot is try to put the device into recovery mode. It won't actually go into recovery mode though, it will just boot into the regular os.
Clockwork Mod Recovery
I can't go into recovery. I have Clockworkmod installed.
bumpity bump,
Im back to this issue seems my fix up there wasn't right. I did a FULL wipe on the nook (/system, /data) and then proceeded to update and root. after rooting I rebooted the nook with the autonooter sd card still inserted and then the device wouldnt boot. I tried removing the sd card and still no luck. adb doesn't find it but it is detected as a "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget" under windows. Is there a way for me to boot the nook?\
EDIT:
got it to boot by mashing the power button and putting nookie froyo inside :/ im not sure why but thats probably how I got it last time too.
Clockwork...did the same thing

Folks,
I've done the same thing. I backed up with Clockwork to the SD. The Nook would only boot into Clockwork. So, I recovered and now the device will not power up at all. I fear that I have bricked a wonderful device that I spent alot of time on. It will not boot at all, will not respond to the power button at all and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I screwed?
FG.
I have the same problem with Motitas and it was updated to 1.1 recently. Please help.
the screen stops to nook icon only. does it mean i have a brick now ? PLEASE Help.
Please read my threa a few threads down from this one, titled "dummies guide to my nook wont boot." it explains everything.
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.
Hello I recently got my refurbished Captivate from AT&T and it came running 2.1 Android. First thing I did with it was go and root it by downloading the update.zip to it, and that went all fine and well.
Next thing I did was get ROM Manager and installed Clockwork Recovery Mod, then went ahead and made a backup of my ROM. So from here I was getting ready to get myself ready for Cyanogen Mod 7, and grabbed the Clockwork Mod version with speedmod and installed that through the Clockwork Recovery.
After I did this the boot screen changed on my phone and would lock up at the Galaxy S SGH-1897 Samsung screen, which had replaced the 3g one by AT&T. The phone will just hang at this bootscreen for infinite amount of time, any suggestions on how to help?
I'd like to point out that I currently have no USB cable for this phone, I did not receive a micro USB with it as it is a refurbished product and do not happen to have any laying around. I do however have a micro SD card, in which Clockwork doesn't seem to support this.
I come to you asking for help to resolve said issue, I can no longer use my phone as a result. I've tried restoring my backup but the same replaced boot logo appears and refuses to actually start up the phone.
The 3 zips that I can access on the internal SD are
-the root.zip
-clockworkmod
-clockworkmod with SpeedMod
Any ideas?
First of all, you will definitely need a micro USB cable. You need to flash back to stock at the moment. Don't worry though, if it's still showing the boot screen your phone "should" be fine.
Second of all, for CM7 you need to follow the EXACT instructions to install CM7 (you can risk bricking your phone with CM7, unlike any other usual ROMs). Do you know, and understand all of the steps involved?
Sorry, but what were you doing? You need odin to install cm7 & without a cord you were never going to succeed.
As mentioned above you need a cord, and need to reread the instructions
CM7
I was running Phiremod on an sd card a couple of nights ago and something went terribly wrong with my NC. I tried to get into the program and it would boot all the way to the home screen and then just power off. I couldn't get it to boot into CM7 running on an sd card either. I searched these forums and others and although I returned the device to stock, repartitioned the boot, removed clockworkmod, reflashed the roms, reformatted the sd card (16gb), switched to an 8gb card and I don't know what all else (not necessarily in this order), I cannot run any roms other than Autonooter 3.0. It installs from an 8gb card with no problem and runs fine. But when I try to use my CM& nightly 37 from my other NC, no go; I reflashed Tablet Tweaks, HC V4, Nookie Froyo and tried them all, no go.
I could get Phiremod to load all the way to the home screen and then start powering off. CM7 comes up to a blank screen with the status bar and buttons at the bottom but also a status bar at the top that says Android system and then it powers off. I rooted the NC with Autonooter 3.0 and then tried to install Tablet Tweaks and got the same weird Android System status bar at the top and then it powered off.
Any ideas? I have been working on this for 48 hours and I got nothin'. I can't get ADB to work with just the NC running stock (I am no expert and might be doing something wrong).
First run autonooter and root it, then u can use rom manager to flash clockwork recovery to emmc. After that use either of the two to flash another rom to emmc.
Also were trying everything from sd card or were u flashing to emmc?
And i am not sure but ADB should work with rooted stock.
Thanks for the response. I will try flashing cwm to emmc tomorrow. I was trying everything on SD cards and emmc. I installed Tablet Tweaks to emmc with the weird result mentioned in the op. TT wouldn't run from an sd card or emmc: the NC just kept powering off as soon as it got to the home screen but before it finished loading up. I should be able to use adb now that I'm rooted. Silly me, couldn't get the device to be recognized running stock. I'll update on how things go and probably will still need help.
Ok, I just installed Clockwork and then using it I flashed Nookie Comb. The installation went fine, boot up went all the way through to the home screen and then the same thing as usual happened: the weird notification bar at the top that says Android System, the status bar with softkeys at the bottom, and immediate powering off.
I think I saw this weird notification bar once when I was rebooting the Nook before I used autonooter, so I think that something is wrong on the emmc level. I have returned to stock and looked at the information in Factory and it shows that I have been returned to 1.0.0. But after I go through with the registering process, I find that the device is on stock 1.1.0 without having to sideload the update. I don't see any notification that I have been updated to 1.0.1, which used to be the case before all this happened. I was trying to avoid messing with the stock rom (warranty) but it looks like I won't be able to do that unless I can figure out what happened here. If all else fails, I will just stick with autonooter, which works well for the purposes for which I use this NC. I do have a second NC that works just fine and can run roms off an sd card. Maybe I can take something off of it and put it on the other?
Any assistance is appreciated.
04/10/11 - 6:00 pm****As I said above, I searched high and low and I tried everything!, but still nothing has got me back to being able to run roms off sd cards yet. But I feel that I have made some progress. I was very disturbed about going from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 without applying the sideload update so I decided to start all over again and restore the NC to stock. I found yet another thread and followed the instructions, except that I unknowingly used CWR 3.0.0.6 instead of CWR 3.0.0.5. So, instead of immediately rebooting into the stock hardware, I had to do a hardware reboot. This brought me back to 1.0.1 and I was able to install the sideload update. So stock rom seems to be back to normal. I took the CM7 rom I am running in my second NC and put the sd card in the trouble NC. It did boot up and completely loaded up the homescreen. This time no top notification bar, no Android System message, but yes, the little sd card icon showed up at the bottom although no message about a damaged card or sd card now removable showed up. But the screen was completely frozen and the device immediately turned off. There was no powering off notice or anything; it just went off and the screen went black. This is a 16 gb card. I am going to try with an 8 gb card now.
04/11/11 12:40 am**** Ok, I give up. I have succeeded in getting nowhere fast. I am thankful that I can run Autonooter 3.0 on it and use sd cards to load my files for using on the NC. I miss the froyo/honeycomb/cm7 experience on this NC but at least I get it on my second one. One good thing that came out of this: i can do the eight boot interrupt thing without a hitch!
Sorry if this is available here, but I am not having much luck with the instructions that I tried.
I have an auto-nootered 3.0 NC & want to return to stock in order to apply the 1.2.0 update. ( I run CM7 from SD when I want to really have fun) I tried the 8 fail boots & ended up in a boot loop to CWM recovery. What is my easiest (non-ADB) method to get this thing back to 1.1 stock? Again, I apologize if this is right in front of me, but most of the relative threads that I found are very old.
Thanks,
kev
I followed this thread to first remove CWR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
followed by instructions here to restore to stock
http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
and lastly to side load the 1.2 update.
Cheers
I had to restore to 1.1.0 after autonooter 3.0 by erase and dereg., then 8 starts; 1.2.0 then installed fine.

For those of us that do NOT have CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery installed on eMMC, but do have CM7 installed to eMMC, can we use the 8 boot trick to reset our nooks to stock?
I'm running CM7 on my eMMC that I installed using the "CWM on SD" technique. My Nook stopped booting last night after midnight. Since I did not change anything with the OS and had rebooted a couple times earlier in the day, I'm ASSUMING that the 1.2 update came down automagically via wifi late last night, and was unable to complete install when rebooting. I did not see any prompts or input from the Nook during use or on reboot that would have indicated that and update had been received and/or applied.
Also, I was under the impression that the 8 boot reset pulls the software off a chip that has the OS "cooked" into. Is that correct? If not, wouldn't an eMMC install of CM7 remove any chance of the 8 boot reset being successful?
EDIT: just read the linked instructions above. I'll give that a shot tonight.
Anyone have any ideas here - I successfully removed CWM from my NC, then did the eight boot interrupts, and the stock software reload thing seemed to go okay. When I try to reset data by holding down power+n, nothing happens. It turns on, but then right back off. If I try to boot without holding n, it stalls on the "n" screen.
Any thoughts?
Flashed again with cwm up to 1.0.1 and I can't update to 1.2 or 1.1 via internal memory or sd. I changed file names and verified checksums and they are accurate and still no dice. WTF
edit:-----------
Weird. After an erase and deregister 1.1 and 1.2 finally went through. Something must have not been in the right state without that.
So if you're getting stuck do both methods in Part 2 of http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
Same issue as others
Yeah... same issue here. Was running 1.0.1 rooted (no SD method). I did not have CWM Recovery installed in eMMC but did make an 8GB SD CWM Recovery.
So after the failed push update from B&N ... I now have the boot loop issue. My guess is their update failed because of some root thing I had in place. Not installing CWM Recovery to eMMC was my biggest issue because at least that would have blocked the automatic update from B&N.
At any rate... I've tried multiple time to recover and now find myself going back to unrooted stock just so I can get the B&N working again.
My wife is gonna kill me if I can't get this thing working again soon. The new magazine issue of "US" is about to come out. =)
Everybody calm down and just follow the Instructions here:

Yes, that works, but that restores the Nook back to 1.0.1. How does one then get it back to 1.1.0?
I followed the same procedure using the 1.1.0 firmware, but it refuses to work.
Anybody know how I can get back to 1.1.0?
Thanks.
assuming you have cwr, have you tried this?
