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 ?

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.
I flash my NC with CM7.0, now everything seems working fine, but I found there are sometime(not always) it stuck at boot animation, after touch the future of reading, it just stuck there.
this happens alot when I turn it off for long time, I am not sure what is the problem seems it doesn't happen every time.
I am having the same problem, but noticed that if i take the SD card out the NC starts normally. so i am figuring somthing is left on there from the install that is causing the hang up.... or maybe it is something else and i am too naive to realize what it is. Any help would be appreciated.
Using CM7.0 stable.
I tried to install CM7 on my nook color and i didnt follow the proper method and instead saved the CM7 file to the root of my sd card and installed the zip through clockworkrecovery without wiping or cache and now im stuck at the android boot screen. It isnt the CM7 skateboard android boot but rather the plain android root boot screen. If anyone could help it would be helpful thank you! IM crying right now about it

Hold power+n for 10 seconds to turn off
Clockwork bootable sd card, wipe system/data/cache (not boot), install cm7 from zip, install gapps from zip.
This is for a clean fresh install.
I made the same mistake yesterday going from stock nook to cm7 on nook #3 (so used to flashing nightlies on the other 2 i forgot to wipe system first)
I had been running CM7.0.2 without issue, but I was drawn in by the ROM Manager notification to update to 7.0.3. When I updated (download and install), I got stuck at the "Touch the future of reading" screen, and I can't get past it no matter what I do.
I even tried reinserting my autonooter microSD card, but I can't get past that message.
I looked at the original card, and it did download the latest version. It obviously got confused before the backup. I can't even get to recovery.
Anybody have any ideas/suggestions??

This thread addresses a variety of boot problems and would probably be a good place to start.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
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.
i am stuck on a boot loop that flashes to a green cyanogen symbol that says loading underneath. it shows this for about 3 secs then cuts off. the screen flashes two or three times then right back to the same screen. Over and over. I cannot cut it off. Cannot get into Clockwork recovery...cant do anything. ive re-formatted my sd card and loaded a bootable image to take it back to stock and try and start over...but it just continues to loop the green cyanogen loading screen loop. Cannot power it on or off. It can run dead and when i plug it in, about ten minutes later it starts right back into this loop. Even if i take the SD card out it does this. I have taken the SD card out and let the battery run dead and plugged it back in to no avail.
seems I cant get it to even look for the SD card.
The nook was running fine with cm7 installed. I went for about 2 months without using it and plugged it up and it loaded to this.
I have searched for several days with no luck. Most everything I find involves getting into clockwork recovery and re-flashing or whiping cache and data...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
more info
i just formatted my Sd card and loaded a fresh clockwork mod. put it in and low and behold it now booted to a screen with two little skulls and says loading. HOWEVER...it just repeated its stupid loop with no control and instead of showing the cyanogen loading screen it shows the skull loading screen...then just rinse and repeat. No ability to boot into anything...power on /off anything. I removed the sd card and it automatically reverted to the green cyanogen loading bootloop.
using logic here..im guessing it is looking for the sd card or else it wouldnt have went to the cmr loading screen from the sd card.
Im wondering now if it is a hardware issue...
anyone ever seen this?
You probably are in a recovery bootloop. Look at the links in my signature to see how to get out of it. Both the tips thread and maybe the partition repair thread.

thanks, trying it now...
ok..i am getting somewhere. I was able to boot into the cyanboot universal bootloader. I went to the menu and selected "internal emmc normal' it says loading emmc..then just reboots back to the cyanboot bootloader screen. says loading then loops.
i have read your fixing the partition post but want to be sure where to begin or if I need to go there yet..
thanks so much for your help.
Did you use my new CWM SD I had in my tips thread? If you tried that and were not able to clear the flag by exiting with the reboot option, you need to repair partition 2. But be sure to try my CWM first. It is modified to help get out of the loop.
Edit: just reread your posts again. It sounds like you did try my CWM card if it booted to cyanoboot boot loader. But cwm is not coming up? You are not going to be able to flash my partition repair zips without cwm. Let me know, there may be a way to use adb to fix it.
Edit2: Another thing you can try is the eight failed boots reset. The nook has an automatic reset feature where if it cannot boot 8 times in a row, it will revert itself back to stock like it came out of the box. See this post below, it is the best description I've seen on how to make it happen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25405429
Edit3: I just did a little experimenting and found that the 8 failed boots only works if you still have the stock recovery on emmc.
Edit4: I added a section to my tips thread that discusses the 8 failed boots and provides a stock recovery zip.
