Hi Guys,
After a few days hacking my nook, I tried the new market for the nook, and the market wouldn't work. I did have a backup but I really wanted to get the new one working. After a few days of trial and error, (Changing permissons, reinstalling, etc.) I found this script on NookDevs-http://nookdevs.com/Enable_the_Android_Market, and wanted to see if this would get me back to stock+root with market and everything. It didn't. My nook won't boot up anymore. It gets stuck on where it has the big gray N and it says Contains Reader Mobile Technology by Adobe at the bottom. I have clockworkmod installed, so I can't take it back to the store. Any help uninstalling clockworkmod or making it boot would be appreciated. I really would hate it if I wasted money on this thing.
PS-I am on update 1.01, and adb is semi-working. I'm sure I could get it to work if I played around.
Bump...
Sure would appreciate if someone helped.
I haven't had to do it but its possible to reset it to factory. Search for "reset" in this board. Something about 8 failed boots resets it to stock.

Clockwork Mod Recovery
I have Clockworkmod Recovery installed. I tried the eight failed boots. It just takes me to the recovery.
Thanks for trying to help though. Appreciated.

Bump. Hey, does anyone think I should try Nookie Froyo?

I used Nookie Froyo to boot and get my device back to usable when it was looping like no other.
Got Nookie Froyo working, but I can't seem to find a way to remove Clockworkmod or restore the system from there. If I removed clockworkmod, I could take it back to the store and exchange it, but restoring it to factory would be even better because I wouldn't have to take it back. I took back my broken Nook charger before, and the guy wanted me buy a new one.

I don't think you can (yet). That's why they said don't use the in-work version until it's finished, unless you're ok with not being able to restore.
Well, I suppose I shouldn't, but I really wanted to be ready when the ROMS came out. Is there any way I can remove clockworkmod? I wish I hadn't installed that now. I hope I'm not screwed.
Ok so I have totally messed my brand new device, this is second day I have had it. I got it yesterday and first thing I did was install DeeperBlues HC v4 on my eMMC. It was easy. I had to use Autonooter first. I was on 1.0.1. Well after playing with it all night. I started to not like the functioning of apps on the platform. They were great but was in my opinion, no greater than when it was just rooted. So I decided to bring it back to stock. I accidently placed wrong sd card in it, the one with Autonooter on it. Now when it boots up it says Loading.... then I get the word ANDROID in lower left had side of screen in landscape. I am a noob when it comes to this. Now I flash and mess with my phones rom and themes and kernels all the time kind of a junkie, but this is no walk in the park.
Please can someone help me.

I think you rooted your Nook which could be a fine thing. If that's not what you want, getting it back to stock is very easy.
Here's a link: http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
The tricky part is to get the timing right so that you get the 8 failed boots (that took me a while). If it looks like it's about to boot up up, hold down the power button till it goes off (at least I think that's what I did). If you have adb installed (or install it) you can get around that.

Is this going to help me. My original firmware was 1.0.1.
Just grab the CWR 1.1 Recovery image from the development forum. Burn that onto an SD Card and reboot. Wipe data boot system cache and flash. done.
Find rootpack in dev section, write that to sd card, add the flashable restore to stock zip from samuelhalffs restore to stock thread in the dev section to your sdcard, boot to sdcard with the rootpack on it, flash the restore to stock zip after formatting system and data. Wala, fixed! All info can be found in my dummies guide to my nook won't boot a few threads down.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. This worked. I now have my Nook back. Thanks.

Ok still need help. I seem to have installed CWR but now i am watching the Nook Color boot animation looping over and over. I tried to reboot but it is still looping. What do I do again? Do I reinstall sd card? And reflash the rom?

Hi everyone!
I am very new to rooting and this website. I have rooted my NC using a You Tube Video to go by. I have rooted doing the CM7 and also rooted using just the autonooter.
I like the autonooter version best because I have access to the market, plus the orginial B and N sites. Now, comes the 1.3 update. I love People magazine, and as of now, everyone is saying that is the only way I can get it. Has anyone come up with how to use the autonooter with the 1.3 update??
Thanks!!

Um...not to be rude, but have you bothered to look much? There's a whole (active) thread right here on the general board about this, not to mention the updated manual nooter thread in the development board.
For your information I have "bothered to look" .. I had some other questions, but I will look for my answers elsewhere!......Not to be rude
I was able to root my wife's Nook Color 1.3 using Manualnooter 4.6.16. Look for the Manualnooter instructions in the Nook Color Android Development section. Since the Nook Color had never been rooted, I just burned a CWM image to an SD card and installed Manualnooter 4.6.16 per the instructions. I ran the Fix Permissions from ROM Manager as suggested. I did have some issues with the New Market not showing all the apps that will run on the Nook Color but there are suggested fixes shown in other posts.
It would be great is someone would post some information (directions) specific to rooting a stock 1.3 with a Manualnooter file with a fully working market but I have not see that.

The manual nooter instructions are pretty much as good as it gets. The market not fully working is more a function of the market than it is rooting the nook.

The "Shopping" feature is working on her rooted 1.3 so I People Magazine should download just fine.
By the way, the repair to the Android Market for me involved the process where you force close the Market and clear cache, then force close Google Framework Services and clear data, then reboot. There are other tablets besides the Nook for which this process works. As a side note, the LCD density change and Market rollback did not work for me as it has for some of the CM7 users.
Let me know how things work out as I have a rooted 1.1 (B&N Updates are blocked) that I would like to get back to a stock 1.3 and then root. On my rooted 1.1 the "Shopping" feature is broken.
I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed the instructions on here for the manual nooter for the 1.3 update. I followed them " TO THE LETTER" ! and after a few min...and some nail biting (LOL) everything rebooted just fine! Now, it did say that my install had failed before it rebooted and I was still connected to my laptop.
At that point, I decided to just cut my losses, wipe and return to stock. but then it rebooted again, and this time I had the market and I could open my People magazine!!
So far I haven't had to do any "fixing" on it!
Hikersc.... I do recommend it!!

No, it doesn't show FB yet and I don't like Angry Birds so I've not installed that one. It is showing the other apps I have downloaded. If you would like I can try downloading Angry Birds just to see if it will show.
There is one problem I am having that I don't like. I don't have a back button, so I have to hit the U button at the bottom, the touch Zeam Launcher to go back to home screen and then start over. I may play around with it today, since it's raining!!

If FB is not showing in the Market then it is the same as mine (or my wife's). It is not a big deal as you can always sideload these type apps. Crazy Snowboard is one of my favorites and did not show on my 1.1 rooted so I had to sideload.
You need to use Soft Keys for your back button if no back button is showing (mostly B&N apps) at the bottom. Once you run soft keys, the little soft key icon will bring up a "soft key menu" that will home, menu, back, etc. Give it a shot and see if that works for you.

You won't believe what happened! I had been reading this morning, and turned it off afterwards. When I turned it back on, it stuck at the "Nook Color" set up menu. That's the first time I have ever had a root to go bad. I've had them to "not take before" but for something to happen like that?? So I had to unroot, set it back up from the beginning, and now have side loaded the 1.3 update. If I try the root again, I will do it just as the directions are typed!! (LOL)
Everything was working fine, I just don't know what happened??
Wish I knew what to tell you folks...I just went back and shut down my nook and restarted it. It always sorta seems like it takes an uncomfortably long time at the color flashing animation, but it went through just fine. What I did initially was exactly what I documented in my other thread...

I'm not sure. (LOL) I made a bootable CWM on an SD card. Then loaded the manual nooter on it.
I rooted it over again.. Putting it back to stock version, then side loading the 1.3 update, and then running the 4-5-18. and I ran the Fix Permissions.
What may be going on is I didn't load the 4-6-16a either time, and that may be the entire problem. If something happens to it this time, I'll just leave it at the 1.3 and wait until something else comes up.

If you are going back to stock, then simply apply the B&N 1.3 update like they say on their website (put it on the nook via usb, then unplug the cable, it will apply when it goes dark).
After it's done, don't bother with 4.5.18 - just go straight to 6.16. That's what I did and it should work fine. It seems that 5.18 is only necessary if you are going from rooted 1.2 to 1.3.
See how that works for you...

This is what I did except I used 4.6.16a (I also loaded a 1.3 kernal and ran the "Fix Permissions" from ROM Manager). All is well for me except the Market does not show FB and others. I was hoping a fix for the Market was forthcoming as the various fixes used with CM7 Market did nothing for me.

I know how frustrating this stuff can get, so I'm glad you got that behind you! I'll keep my fingers crossed it sticks!
I have or at least had a rooted nook color. I was on 1.4.2 firmware, but last night my nook auto updated to 1.4.3 firmware. I had never installed the app to access the hidden settings and now I am paying for it.
If I turn off my nook or reset it then for about 30 sec. I am able to look at my android apps. It looks like a rooted nook, but then it will go back to the unrooted version. It is strange that it does this and I am hoping that since it boots up as the rooted nook did then I am hoping there is an easy fix.
I am currently unable to access the android market though when it boots up. I try to go to the play store and it says I don't have an account, would I like to add one. When I say yes it won't go let me. If I say no it does the same thing. How do I access the hidden settings now or is there a way to root 1.4.3 firmware?
I am really stressed and aggravated with myself and the situation at hand. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

There are others here that were able to re-root after the 1.4.3 autoupdate. Just search a few posts back.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. I have two Nook Colors that I had updated to 1.4.2 before rooting. I rooted them a few weeks ago and one of them auto-updated to 1.4.3 before the other. I just rerooted the one that had updated and it works fine. I didn't have to revert back to stock first. When the second one updated to 1.4.3 I did the same process and that one works fine too.
I followed the steps in the [NC][1.4.1][1.4.2] ManualNooter 5.02.19 thread that I used to root them in the first place.
Well I tried to re-root my nook and everything went fine until i rebooted the nook. It is stuck replaying the cracked nook screen over and over again, and won't let me access any other screen or menu. How do I fix this?

You may want to root your NC again. Make sure you are using 5.2.19.
Check the OP in the MN 5.2.19 thread here.
First I want to thank everyone for all the help and advice they have given me so far, but I am still having problems. I have rerooted my nook. I also tried the partition repair zips on my nook and they seemed to have did something, but now my touch screen isn't working. When my nook rebooted it went to the barnes and noble set up video and I was unable to watch it or skip the video. Not sure how to turn the touch screen off or how I even disabled it.
Thanks again in advance for any help. I feel less hopeless now about getting my nook back to the rooted version I have come to love.

I just got my Nexus 6 about a week ago, (on verizon), and I got the right screen freeze issue. Which by the way, I got only when I was using chroma. I haven't gotten it yet on stock. But I already started the return process with verizon.
Now, I want to make sure I get everything stock before I send it in, so I was wondering a few things. I have Android 5.1, and I know the issue with it bootlooping, so what exact steps should I take between these 2 guides? I think during STEP 5 of the first guide, I install the factory image which is detailed in the 2nd guide correct?

Yes, sounds like you've got it straight. Also, yes you can restore to your new device but don't restore the EFS backup or you'll be borked.

I got everything done
I couldn't use flash-all because for some reason it didn't flash my recovery, so I had to manually flash basically everything. Other than that it was pretty easy.
