Well here goes, I already reflashed the stock rom once from autonooter. 8 reboots then the stock rom becomes reflashed... Well in an attempt to return to stock 1.0 and install the updated autonooter I seem to have bricked my nook.
I can force reboot the nook 8 times and then the system update installed successfully... So it seems (progress bar reaches the end and nook reboots) but the splash screen is not stock! It runs the nook dev splash screen and will not boot. It will bootloop over and over. I tried another system reflash but same thing. What can I do?
Is it possible to run the autonooter sd card image ? Any other ideas?
Thanks
You need to wipe the NC. Power off. Hold power and home until it wipe screen appear. It might start wiping automaticlly or you may need to press home continue. Don't remember.
The 8 boot method is only half of the system wipe process. You still need to wipe /data. Steps to do that are at: http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
It worked! Thanks
I could have sworn I did that several times. I had to hold both the power and nook button until the unit shut off. Then on the next boot attempt it gave me a data wipe option. Tricky little unit
ok so weird problem here..
my NC is fine besides this one problem.
ive rooted with autonooter to 1.0.1
if i turn my NC completely off and leave it all night, when i wake up in the morning it gets stuck on the "touch of... " screen. The only way to get past this is to reboot to recovery and select reboot..
any idea why this happens? if i just restart the NC, or just let it go to sleep this doesnt happen, only when its been fully off for a couple hours.
ive tried reverting to stock/rerooted all that to fix it, but nothing seems to work.
i know i can just let it sleep and problem solved, but id like to know why this happens or if anyone experienced anything like this before.. thanks!
Try holding down the "n" button while turning on the unit...
Other wise you might have messed up your boot partition, go to development and search for samelhaff's thread on a flashable zip where you can fix the boot.
it reboots to recovery (power+n) just fine... just doesnt reboot normally (just pressing n) .. gets stuck on touch of.. screen
after getting into CWR and selecting reboot it then boots up correctly..
dont know why it just wont reboot normally to begin with.
Same problem here.
After some testing with HC and CM7 roms i recovered to the 1.0.1 Eclair rooted with autonooter version. I turn it off and on some times and everything worked allright. Left it all night off and when i turn it on in the morning i was stuck at the "Touch the future...".
I flashed the stock boot repartition and it started normaly.
Yesterday i flashed the custom Froyo 0.6.8 and everything was allright untill the morning when i stuck again athe " touch..." screen.
I booted with CW and rebooted normally.
Same thing has happened to me twice. I've only been able to get it to boot by booting from my bootable cwr and selecting restart.
Also been noticing some oddities with it charging fully, sometimes while plugged in the status is simply "not charging", not "charging" or "dischargin" and the N symbol on the end of the cable is yellow, not green.
Now it's even worst. Every time i try to boot i get stuck in the "Touch..." screen and i can only boot through CW recovery.
Any ideas?
Glad I finally found some people with the same problem
So initially I took my stock nook (1.0.1) and ran autonooter. Worked great but I noticed it would randomly reboot. Also , same as the other posters, if I powered it all the way down it liked to automatically power up and get stuck on the boot screen. Only way to reset was boot into CWR and select the reboot option from there. I loaded CM7 and same problems so i thought it may be some kind of hardware issue.
Reverted to stock, no problems.
Back to autonooter and this time ran dual boot from EMMC with stock as main partition and HC v4 on second partition. So i don't have CWR anymore but have my SD card handy in case I need it.
Well after a couple days of normal usage the random reboots are gone. Left the unit on during the whole time. Last night I turned it off to apply my Phamtomskin and this morning woke up to find it stuck on the boot screen. Must have been doing that for a while because when i stuck in the SD card for CWR it gave me the low battery warning. After 15 minutes it rebooted to CWR and i was able to reboot normal from there.
Hopefully since a couple of us got the problem we can find some sort of fix. I would like to know if it is some kind of hardware issue or as poster #2 suggested its a simple matter of flashing the boot file. Would I loose my dual boot partition if I flash this zip? Any help appreciated and thanks what a great XDA community.
I think that it has to do with CW and boot. Can i remove CW recovery without affecting my configuration?
no change.
im at least relieved that others have this same problem and it isnt a problem with only my NC.
last night i went back to stock, rerooted 1.0.1 and all that jazz and opted NOT to install CWR and power it down over night (thinking maybe clockwork was the problem) ...
well that didnt work b/c this morning it is stuck on the "touch of" screen and worse yet, i obviously cant even boot into recovery to just reboot.
looks like another revert/reroot this morning for me...
very frustrating.
bump this?

Just get the bootable cwr, then you'll always have it handy. The stuck at touch of reading screen has happened to me twice, pulled out my bootable cwr, selected restart and all was well.
I've never heard of anyone having this problem with V 1.0.1. I know that a lot of people are having this same problem with V1.1. Apparently CWR and V1.1 don't coexist well. I had this problem after doing Stock Nook 1.0.1 --> Autonooter 2.12.25 --> Sideload to rooted V1.1. Some people also have the problem when going from stock V1.1 and using Autonooter 3.0. The fix in both cases is to uninstall CWR using the CWR removal tool mentioned here:
androidtablets.net/forum/nook-color-technical/6386-how-installing-using-clockworkmod-rom-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels-20.html#post48469
(sorry, I can't post links yet.) It leaves the device rooted. It worked for me.
Can anyone give me a hand with this?
I was running CM7 n40 with ALSA and dalingrin's 0413a kernel. Watching videos in vevo when the nook froze and reset itself and got stuck looping at the CM7 animation.
I've rebooted into CWR, tried first wiping Dalvik cache, it didn't seem to make a difference. I then tried formatting /cache and reinstalling n40 and dalingrin's 0404 kernel. No joy either.
Short of reinstalling everything, is there anything else I can try?
If you are running from an SD card then your problem is likely the card. If you aren't running from an SD card then... Maybe someone else can help you.
Forgot to add, running from eMMC.
I had the same thing, only with CM stable...ended up having to rebuild my / boot with the file here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690.
Very last file in first post. Had to flash it then start all over....

You are not alone, mine just did this after updating to the latest nightly and restoring with Titanium Backup. I did not flash a kernel, just the nightly using Rom Manager.
My symptoms were that it seemed to run OK, then I opened the gallery to set a different wallpaper and got constant FCs, so then I restarted. Now I'm watching the circle go round and round.
OK, back to previous, just restored the nandroid backup Rom Manager made prior to the update. Seems to be working fine.
I flashed n40 and dalingrin's oc kernel 0404. Stable and happy as can be.
I'm thinking the issue was with ALSA and experimental kernel 0413a, which has been reported to crash video playback in some cases. Don't know how or why it would corrupt my install though.
Let me just mention a lot of people are claiming false boot loops lately. Sometimes it just takes a long time to reboot, especially after it froze. I've had it take up to 20mins before with the little skateboard android.
So next time unless it's giving you "Touch The Future" and then the CWM treatment, give it a bit to load and see if it does after 10 mins or so. (Usually just after the screen dims, my nook loads up just fine)
No that's unacceptable. Considering the amount of data it should be loading, something is very wrong with your nook if it takes more than 5 minutes to boot.
And yes it was boot looping, the animation restarted itself repeatedly (wasn't just the arrow spinning).
Can't help at all but to offer another data point: I was on nightly 39, ALSA update, and kernel 0413a. Was flicking between homescreens when it locked up, forcing a hard shutdown. When I booted back up, it was stuck in a bootloop. Tried all the usual paths to recovery, but had to resort to a backup.
Moved on to n41 (ALSA included) and kernel 0418c. Stable in every case so far.
I'm having same issue and mine is still not working no matter what I did.
I even tried to restore it back to stock - Format/ Fdisk / DD / etc... tried everything I could find. I even had my back up but couldn't restore. I think I created more problem while I was trying to fix it.
Now I can only boot from SD. So I was not the only one.
Eww, I would never touch any sort of partition change with eMMC installs. Usually I just go back to stock or latest backup. Found out there may be an issue with backups created from CWR flashed to eMMC (MD5 check failure). SO anyone who's made a backp from that, do yourself a favor and boot off a CWR SD and do a backup onto that just to be safe.
Sorry about your troubles, hope you get it sorted. Guess I got away easy with just format and nightly re-flash.
I am running the 6/13 binary and the system gets stuck when I attempt a reboot. It freezes at the CyogenMod screen with the animation. I have attempted a reboot through powering off, and through the CWM, but I am still stuck. I was previously able to wipe the delvik cache, which worked, but all of the applications had to "optimize" every time before it booted up.
Is there a way to get past this?
I am running a 16GB Nook HD+ with an emmc install. It worked fine for a day, but now every time it boots it doesn't get past the CM animation.
I ended up with the same problem until I realized I flashed one of the nook HD zips instead of the HD+ version. Make sure everything you have says ovation and not hummingbird. Also don't flash any tablet UI stuff until you have a working nook

I've had the same thing happen. I've completely reflashed my HD+, but occasionally it will still happen. Sometimes it does not ever boot correctly and instead when I reboot it, it reloads the Nook software (people say 8 times, but I counted and mine restore Nook software after 5 hard reboots).
If you have your SD card installed, try taking it out. That's what started mine...I put a 64GB card in and it never booted again. Just sits on the circle animation, spinning forever.
Thanks, I will try reflashing everything and see how that goes. I am going to back it up with Titanium First.
Hello,
Earlier today i successfully installed CM10.1 on my new Nook HD+ tablet. After setting up CM10.1 and installing some basic apps i restarted the Nook and it is now stuck in a loop at the Cyanogenmod start up screen. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks guys!
I had this same issue. I made a titanium backup of everything, and then reinstalled cwm, cm 10.1, and emmc ovation. I used titanium to restore and now it resets just fine.

Same here...
I had the same issue. I went in and cleared the cache then reboot and it was fine. My issue now is it'll randomly reboot on its own and sit at the Cyanogen circle boot up but won't boot up. Anyone else?
I booted into recovery and wiped dalvik cache and the othe cache and it booted fin out of recovery but when i would attempt to reboot it normally it would still be stuck in a boot loop...I just factory reset it and it seems to be working fine now *fingers crossed*!
still no go...
I tried that too and it still reboot randomly. Thought that was fixed with latest version
I had the same problem. This is what I did. In the recovery menu I did a wipe / factory reset. Then installed CM and Google apps again. After that I did another wipe / factory reset. After that I rebooted. No more random reboots and no more boot loops. I hope this helps.
trouble restart
Just got a Nook HD+ on the 26. installed CM10.1. every time I turn off or restart the Nook, For the first 3 times, it would stuck at the fast spinning CM logo. I would have to long press the Power button to turn it off, then turn it back on. For the 4th time it would boot without any problem. same thing with boot into recovery, the first 3 times it would ignore my N+down press, only on the 4th attempt. Not sure why, but that's what I found out. I dont see any random reboot yet. Have not try to reinstall CM10.1. Will do that when I have more time. Anyone else with a newly bought Nook care to sound in?
Very similar problems for me, though I don't know if it's exactly every fourth time that it boots properly.
I did a factory reset, re-flashed everything, and it worked perfectly for a couple of days. Then yesterday, a random reboot, and it got stuck at the CM boot animation. It rebooted properly on the second or third try. I just rebooted it manually, and it worked fine again.
I really like this tablet, but I'm seriously thinking of returning it because of this problem. It seems like it could become completely unusable if it gets worse.
CM 10.1 Boot Loop CWM non responsive
I have the same issue. I used powered up and used Volume Down>Menu and it rebooted my Nook HD+ to back to the original Nook OS. Weird because when installed I deleted factory defaults like the instructions said before flashing. Anyway, now when I hold volume down>Menu on boot it come up Black screen with warning telling me it will delete all my documents and reset to factory. Will this wipe the CM 10.1 OS totally? Is there a way for me to get my CM 10.1 back without going through and making a boot image again and reinstalling from starch? CWM dose not seem to be working or am I using the wrong method to booth into CWM on my Nook HD+?

What you are seeing is stock recovery (I assume you mean you held n and power on boot, there is no menu button). You must not have successfully flashed the CWM or TWRP recovery to internal memory. That reset to factory it will just wipe your data, not remove the ROM. It will cause you to reinstall your apps though.
If you ever intend on updating your CM10.1 to a newer version in the future, you need to have that bootable recovery SD anyway (or successfully put it on internal memory).

In did install both the CWM and CM 10.1 the first time. It booted and rebooted for days without a problem. I believe b what happened was error. I had the alarm set to wake me and half asleep tried to turn it off while the groovy cover was shut by holding down the power button. I may have held down more keys then I thought in a sequence that deleted something that caused the Boot to hang. After that there was no way for me to enter the CWM. The command sequence that would normally send me to CWM sent me to nook factory reset. I noticed that there is a small glitch between hibernate and the b alarm. Holding down the power key to get it to shutdown can cause it enter CWM from time to time.
When I reinstalled everything funny thing is my screen lock settings and background selection (I previously downloaded) stayed along with my user profile. That leads me to believe that everything was in tact on the internal storage. Google play backed up and reinstalled all my apps automatically once I signed in:good:. I'm taking your advice and buying a 4G SD to keep the CMW boot image on with the latest CM. Thanks for your help.
Distorted Boot Animation
Is there a way to fix the distorted boot animation on Nook HD+ CM10.1? I have tried installing a different bootanimation.zip but it didn't make a difference.
I found this post on a similar problem with the nook color running CM10.1, and steven676 fixed the boot animation issue with a new kernel. "I was wandering if it could be used to fix the Nook HD+ as well?"

Yes that could fix it, but it messes up other things. Best to just live with the distortion.

"I guess in order for one to gain, one must lose something." LOL
In meantime I'll just disable the boot animation with Rom Toolbox.
Hopefully it get's fixed in later updates without any lost.
This thread seems to be in the range of what my issues are. The Nook worked fine for about 4 days and then while installing the Retro Arc apk I sideloaded, it picked up on an unprotected Wifi connection in the area. It then locked up as the notifications were flying in, and the screen went black. I powered off then off after that once and the Cyanogen logo just kept looking. Tried again after and it went to Stock Nook.
The last few days have been spent doing clean installs with care taken to follow the exact steps, but now all I get for 2 days is the Cyanogen Logo looping over and over. Help?

Just found this on a thread here. I can't find it at this time. I would really like to credit and thank the poster. I had to go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache on every boot. I have only booted once but this change seems to have fixed this issue.
Firsts go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache.( Hold down the power and n buttons until you get into CWM. Go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache. Reboot)
When you get it booted, go into setting/launcher/home screen and uncheck Wallpaper quick render.
Good luck!

I have had the same problem in this thread as well (reboots stuck at cyanogenmod logo). I have been wiping the dalvik cache every time (figured it out on my own) and can confirm it works but you do have to do it at every boot (or perhaps after you change wallpaper, not sure).
I got tired of it happening so i google'd the issue and found this thread; mine is stuck right now too (and also out of battery, lol), but once I charge it, wipe dalvik and boot into android I will try the "quick render" trick and see if that fixes the boot problem to begin with.
Edit: I can confirm that disabling quick render has fixed the need to do a dalvik wipe every reboot.

I don't know if the color+ has sdcard recovery but if it does that would be the way to go except for...
The other thing is that if you had put on a custom recovery then holding what ever buttons to go to it could allow you to fix it. Or waiting until 8 reboots or whatever if its the same as the nook hd+.
I think there may also be additional stuff that can be tried on the nook logo screen via various button presses as well but don't have any knowledge about that especially for the color+
