So my friend just got a new NOOKcolor
we successfully rooted it with Auto-Nooter
I was trying to get ADB to work and decided to reboot
now it just repeatedly gets to "Touch the Future of Reading" screen and reboots
I've 'tried' the 8 interrupted reboots but I have yet to get it to restore to anything
I was able to SSH in to it and tried to fix the BootCnt file per a set of instructions on the web (the commands appeared to work but - I'm still at boot loops)
The last resort is just to return it back to Best Buy and wait till the rest of the Android tablets come out...
but I have to imagine there's a way I can restore it somehow - maybe load a new image on to an microSD card or something....
I've had no problems with anything else I've rooted (3 Droid Incredibles, Droid 1, Droid 2)

Same thing happened to me.
Get Nookie Froyo running off the SD card. From there you can install other tools. I had already made a backup when it happened to me. I was able to use Nookie Froyo to install ROM Manager, and then restore my backup. Not sure what you would need to do from there without a backup. But, either way, I would recommend you check out the Nookie Froyo thread.
EDIT: You could use Nookie Froyo to get Clockwork recovery installed. Then you can return the nook to stock, and start over again.
yeah I just got Nookie Froyo booted up....but there's no market?

When it happened to me, I wasn't able to connect to adb to push an app.
I gmailed myself the ROM Manager APK, and then got into my gmail from the nookie browser. Installed it from there, and I was good to go. I actually had use nookie froyo 0.5.8, because 0.5.9 was giving me SD card errors and wouldn't let me install an app.
hrm I can't even get ADB to work - keep getting protocol fault (no status) whenever I try to do anything
and yeah its telling me my SD card is damaged too - its brand new though

It has something to do with nookie, not your SD card.
Try the 0.5.8, and grab the ROM Manager apk from the Clockwork thread here in nook development.

I didn't have any trouble getting ROM Manager installed. What is the file manager telling you?
there is no file manager on here so I can't get to the APK's to install them
i'm almost ready to just leave it stuck in boot loops and return it to Best Buy as defective
EDIT: finally got ROM Manager to install
but apparently SuperUser isn't working 100%
and it won't boot to Recovery
and apparently my 6GB microSD card is only really 2.5mb so I can't load this on to it even if I could get in to Recovery

If you click on the apk in gmail, it should give you the option to install it right there.
nope it only downloaded it - then in my notification bar I was able to install it from there...
but that hasn't gotten me anything - I flashed Recovery - but it wont boot in to it

Not sure why you are having issues with ROM Manager, it worked for me. I was stuck in the "future of reading" boot loop for a day, until I went the gmailed apk route.
I wish I could be of more help.
and I wish there was just a way to boot the SD to a stock recovery image
or there was an easy way to get it to do it's restore
Your SD card needs formatting from an Android device. It will then get its initial capacity. Then you can flash.
By the way, ADB should be working from froyo, or even CWR. Get that running, re-run the nook-dev commands for adb over usb. If you can get adb working, snowf0x dd boot image only weighs 11mb. See dev thread.
And please, do read the forum, most of your questions have already been answered 10 times.
Thanks.
the actual problem is when you restore the Nookie Froyo image to the SD card - it only makes it a 2.5mb card.....you can't access the rest of it
EDIT: Doesn't matter anymore - this thread can be closed
my friend is just going to return it and get his money back
If you can boot up Nookie Froyo, then the best way to restore back to stock would be to use the DD images available here in the forums. Just find that thread and follow the instructions. It might be faster using Nookie Froyo 0.5.8 since 0.5.9 has a bug that makes the SD card parition corrupt.
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
Sent from one of those missing Droids
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.
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!
I installed the latest update on my SD card. When I insert in into my Nook Color it just goes into Clockwork Recovery. How do I get it to load CM7? When I try to apply the update I get Update aborted.
i am having lots of trouble trying to setup cm7 boot from a 16gb microsd card. it keeps
hanging without finishing the install and when forced reboot it install android but once final reboot, it just keeps getting stuck at either the ANDROID_ SCREEN or the cynogen logo screen. i had a look at the forum pages and some others are also having the same problems with16gb but i can't see any solutions, tho i think there are a few people that have done it. any help would be appreciated. thanks
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.
