Did I just break the Nook? - Nook Color General

I just installed the latest nightly on this nook color .... rebooted....and it is dead....the back light won't even come on.
It's acting like the battery is dead but I have had it on the charger for the last 5 hours and still no luck.
I know there is a threat about nook stuck at a black screen but I am assuming that black screen at least has a backlight....I am getting nothing.

Sounds like u wiped ur boot. I could be wrong but try this:

[Q] Help me! My Nook Died :(

Hey guys, Sorry for obviously reposting but I just wanted a straight answer to this.
I had CM7 RC1 Loaded on the nook, I'm pretty sure I was still 1.1 Stock too. Well, I charged my nook to 100% one night, woke up the next morning and it will not turn on at all. I tried holding every button scheme, Power Button = 1 minute / Power Vol+ and N for a minute. It isn't responding to anything. Just a plain black screen, no power on the LCD at all.
Sooo, I read that I could try using a CWM SDCard to see if it boots, I'm going to try that but I need help finding the SD boot image.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? Can I save it? Is it garbage? or Do you think I could go through warrenty even though I obviously rooted/CM7'd it...
Thank you so much <3
Have you tried turning it on while it is plugged in?

yup... I let it charge turned it on, and nothing.. and now i've left it alone for like 4-5 days... still nothing.
Are you able to connect via ADB at all?

I think you need to flash a SD card CWM, then flash back to stock. Hopefully that will get you running. Also flash the 1gb 3.2.0.1 CWM so you can use any SD card

Solved, After I left it for 4 days... It just turned itself back on... :\ - TY XDA <3!

NC doa?

I just picked up a NC today, got home,unboxed it and put on the charger as per the instructions. The light went right to green so figured it might be fully charged. I tried to turn it on and nothing happens. So I then left on the charger for 4 hours and tried again and nothing. I also tried power +n and still nothing. So I'm guessing its doa and was curious if anyone has had this experience or heard of this happening before.

Might be a silly question but did you press and hold the power on switch until you see the screen flash?
Sometimes you have to hold it for at least 5-6 seconds. It varies.

Yup silly question lol. I did alot of Googling when it wouldn't boot. I tried all methods of powering on and resetting. I think it might have been a bad battery since it went straight to green when plugged in for the first time.
I returned it this morning and as soon as I plugged in the new nc it booted. Now I'm off to search for rooting methods. Thanks!

Congrats on your NC and getting one that works. May I suggest you look into flashing CM7 rather than rooting? It has many advantages over stock or stock rooted. It can also be run from an SD card if you still want to root the stock OS or just leave it alone entirely.
Check out the other thread here asking about rooting vs. CM7 for more details.

After a few hours with CM10 somehow it uninstalled itself

Got nook hd+ yesterday. Immediately got CM10 on it. Everything was working great for a few hours. All of a sudden it started rebooting it self randomly, but I kept using it. Then it happened more frequently. Then it rebooted to the Cm boot screen and never left there. Kept looping. So I turned it off and rebooted. No success. Tried again. Nothing. Then I got mad and let it loop for like an hour. Came back and nothing happened so I turned it off.
Next morning I wake up and it boots fine but this time in nrmal nook mode like when I turned it on the first time. It even had to update the nook software again. I am just using the standard nook mode now and have some questions.
1. How did that happen?
2. Is all my info still on here somewhere? Like the login to gmail, evernote, instagram etc?
3. If yes, how do I get that stuff off?
Thanks

The HD+ has a self repair utility built in that will reset itself to stock if it fails to boot 8 times in a row. That is what happened to you. It put stock back along with wiping all your data. So your personal stuff is gone.
I don't know why your CM10.1 quit in the first place, but now that you are back to stock, you can start over.

Ah.
Thanks for the info. Didn't realize it could fix itself.

CM11 Nook HD+ suddenly back to stock

Had been running 1/18 great for about a week, I hadn't used the tablet today up until right now when I got home but when I tried to wake it from sleep I found turned off. When I turned it back on it showed the normal nook logo but suddenly a bar started loading underneath it and once it finished it started the stock B&N rom.
The only notable thing I can remember doing yesterday before I stopped using it was formatting my 32GB microSD.
I have no issues with re-installing the rom and I might even install nightly but I want to know what might have caused this.

Obviously it tried to boot itself 8 times in a row and failed, triggering a reset to stock.

Oh, I guess I learned something new today.
I also found out that my internal SD was wiped, does that also happen if it fails to boot 8 times?

[Q] My ovation won't boot.

Okay everyone. I am seriously freaked out right now.
My HD+ was working just fine the other day and today, I try the wake the device and nothing comes up.
Hard reset and nothing came up. Assumed that battery ran out. Plugged it in.
That charge symbol came up and I assumed that it was charging.
But after a while, the device still didn't boot up so I unplugged it and tried to boot it up.
Instead of seeing the Nook logo, I saw a weird artifiact/square thing in the center. Cyanboot didn't even come on.
I really am lost right now. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance.
