Nook color won't turn on, won't boot sd card

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 ?

Were you running froyo off emmc? If so:

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.

Touch the future of reading

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!

Rooted Nook Issues.. i searched

Bought a new color nook two days ago and began rooting it after i bought it using the walkthrough here. I made the bootable SD and that went fine. Put the Zip for nooter on there and that went on fine. I got on and created an account with the android marketplace and all. Then I got the Cyanogen mod from their site, the latest stable version and tried to install it. Got stuck at the color splash loading screen. Turned the unit off and have been constantly messing with it and got it to boot to CM7 but i have no google apps and when i press the home button i am still getting 3 options (Zeam, Softkeys, and something else).
I have tried numerous times reloading MN but it will get stuck at the n screen and not do anything. Sadly my idiot self didnt make a backup before i started rooting and the erase to factory in CWM doesnt do much.
Any ideas? It seems like i might be able to just get by with getting the gapps and putting them on but i dont think it will be that easy...
Thanks in advance for the help

UPDATE: Got the gapps to install but everytime i try and go to something in the market it force closes. Sounds like i need a wipe and start over but i am not sure..

make sure you have a class 2/4 sandisk(brand is what counts here).
Otherwise, I'd just reinstall everything over again through your cwm recovery disk.

As easy as it is to flash back to stock I just don't see the merit of running CM7 off a micro SD. Yes, it can be done, but if you're new to rooting your Nook my suggestion is to start over, wipe everything and install to internal memory.

Need help please

Hey, my buddy let me borrow his rooted NC running the Honeycomb Preview on it. He wanted to see what MIUI looked like on it, and let me put it on there for him. I guess I was dumb to assume this was running Android, so it must flash files like any android phone.
He has some program to boot the NC into clockwork mod recovery. While in CW recovery, I wiped data, but after this, it froze while in CW recovery! I've never encountered this, so I just decided to reboot the thing and go from there. It rebooted and directed me to the set-up screen with the green android dude with the persons hand telling me to press him
"Welcome to LogicPD Zoom 2"
No matter what I press, nothing responds. I read up on http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM#ixzz1AAsuy5td and tried to accomplish the 8 restart thing. I don't think I can complete that because whenever I boot up, it immediately puts on a splash screen that says "Loading.."
No part of the boot cycle does it say "Welcome to the future of reading"
Is it possible flashing this thing back to stock? I tried to tap into adb, so I could put it into bootloader from there, but my adb doesn't recognize it. Even with the "adbfix.bat" file.
Any help will help.
Thanks

First, load an image of CWR v3.2.0.1 on an SD card. Then, get a CM7 ROM and the market app .zip file and put them on the card and you should be good to go. Older versions of CWR tend to freeze up when wiping the cache....
In my opinion, no one should be running Honeycomb on the Nook unless off an SD card as a secondary "toy".

Well thanks for the suggestion. I couldn't boot into any kind of recovery mode, which made things kinda confusing.
I fixed my adb issue, so luckily, I could log into adb. I cleared data and cache through adb, and than downloaded the boot.img file and system.img file. Pushed those to the nook that way. Now I'm back to out of box status ready to put some MIUI goodness on here.

[Q] NOOK HD+ Stuck On NOOK boot screen

Nook HD Plus has been running great. Cyanogen running fully on internal memory with no issues. I was using TWRP and wanted to go back to CWM. So I flashed it and all seemed fine. Then I rebooted, and now it is stuck on the First Nook Splash Screen. I have tried to reinstall everything using a bootable SD card but still will not get past the Nook Screen. I can use the SD Card to boot into CWM and it takes all the installs just fine, but still stuck on the Nook Screen. Any ideas??? I have tried to install everything from stock to Carbon with the same results.

Have you found a solution yet? I am facing the same problem since trying out cyanogenmod 11 (SD-Version) alongside CM 10.2. Always stuck on NOOK Screen TWRP and CWM bootable from SD, no installs possible.

I have not. I did find out that the main issue is the internal drive was somehow formatted and that is why it will not boot properly. Not sure how it happened, but I think the main bump here will be to try and reformat the drive so it can load the bootloaders properly......it works with the SD card because the bootloader files are on the SD.....driving me nuts.

Try and install stock plain rom and let your device charge (must be turned on!) for 5 hours.
Worked for me:good:

Hi so you have any Solution for this Problem. I tried the charging and i can go to recovery via sd and flashing Works Fine but i won't get past the nook boot screen without an sd.
Any ideas what i can do i already installier stock but an Hard reset or 8 Times shutdown wouldn't work ether.

Beware that two of the HD+ partitions (see section #16 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34168454#post34168454 for a complete list of partitions) namely /rom and /factory contain your device's unique factory-installed data such as WiFi MAC address, encryption keys, etc. You'd lose all this data, without which your HD+ cannot run, upon reformatting the entire drive -- unless you know how to backup and restore them.

Actually before doing any of those, you will always need to select the wipe data option when you boot to the CWM Recovery. Since you went from TWRP to CWM, you'll need to wipe it, and then flash it. Try that and see if it works.
