I accidentally turned off my rooted Nook Color yesterday rather than putting it on Airplane mode and when I tried to bring it back last night, it would not boot up. It goes directly to the screen that says "Touch the Future of Reading" and won't go beyond that. I have tried holding the power button and N button down for 30 seconds and it has not worked. I let the battery die and tried rebooting it again from there... and no go...
Any ideas??
Thanks!

You should try this...
ie. make a bootable sd card and reflash stock rom (or whatever you're running) off of it

my NC is rooted and upgrade to 1.01, it has worked fine untill today I turn it off, and try to turn on again, it stuck at boot, at "touch the future of reading"
I didn't install any software recently, so I have no idea what happen.......
Bootable ClockworkMod Recovery image (Burn to your SDCard with Winimage/software):
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/clockwork_1gb-0.4.tar.gz
Rooted 1.01 update (.zip, flash with CWR after wiping data/cache/system):
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip
Once that's set on your memory card, insert into the Nook Color and press and hold the "n" home button while pressing the power button on...Then reset your nook to stock 1.01 root.
thx it's back. but still don't know what cause it like that, I just hope it won't happen again.
maybe I should upgrade to 1.10 now.
I tried to install the honeycomb rom, and right after i wiped boot, CWR crashed. And yes, i was stupid enough to do it on internal CWR. Now my nook color wont boot at all. If i press the power button it gives no indication that its even turning on.
I tried putting in a CWR sdcard image, but it isnt working. I burned the image to the card, and put it in my nook, and pressed the power button, but it isnt working.,
Oh wow.... this is embarressing. I was pressing volume not power..... too used to the samsung vibrant
Happens to the best of us! I'm glad you didn't brick your Nookie!
Absolute NooB to the NC here, so please be gentle!
I've got four issues that should be no-brainers but they are beating me up. I've split them into four separate posts to keep things clean.
1. Booting to recovery
What I've read is to power the NC off, power on, hold down power & N key until boot screen (which I assume is the "Touch the future of reading" screen), then release both to boot into recovery mode.
Certainly sounds simple.
I can't make it work. Been trying for days.
So, does this actually work? What is the trick?
Timing on that can be tricky, so don't get frustrated. When the 'touch the future' logo comes up, continue holding N and power and count to about 4. Hopefully that gets you, but if not, try 3 and 5 counts. If it powers back off, you held too long, but it won't hurt anything!
I have the same darn problem with mine---but I never see "touch of the future" script, I see " loading". I always see "loading".
CM7 on the sd card.
I have never booted into recovery.
?
I usually reboot to recovery from rom manager.
Thanks! Got it down now. Once I got the timing down, tis as easy as on my original Droid.

That's my preferred method (on my original Droid) but it doesn't work for me on the Nook.
Maybe because I am still booting CM7 from the sdcard?
I'm on the same boat here cant figure out how to get into recovery mode.
I tried the power/N button combinations, reboot into recovery from CM7 desktop, and ROM manager still doesn't get me into recovery mode.

Problem fixed, stopped using stable build 7.03 and used nightly build 102 and now I could get in and out of recovery mode with no issues.
Hi,
My unit is rooted with 1.1 and I am trying to get my unit back to stock so I can install 1.2 and manual root it.
I have been trying to get the unit to load the stock ROM for hours and I cannot get this to work. Here is what I am doing.
1) Press power button for a second or 2.
2) When "future of reading" appears hold down power button until screen goes dark again.
3) Repeat
I have repeated way past 8 and it never starts the screen that loads the stock ROM.
Any ideas?
CWM Install.
Do you have Clock Work Mod Recovery installed? Well, if you don't install it, there are many guides on xda.
Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
Download either 1.0 or 1.0.1 and flash it using ClockworkMod.
That is a great idea!
I did this when 1.2 came out and here is what you have to do.
-Turn On Nook
-Wait till the Screen goes black after the "touch reading" or whatever
-As soon as the Big N appears hold Power
Repeat 8 times to reflash Stock then Turn Nook off and hold N+Power for 6 seconds. Follow onscreen prompts and you're data and emmc will be wiped. You MUST do this or you'll have a real buggy Nook.

I was attempting to install a ROM, and CWM gave me several errors about not being able to mount partitions. So, I rebooted and went into "mounts and storage", mounted the partitions, and tried again. This time, it got to about 100% and then crashed.
When I rebooted into CWM, I got a bunch of errors about not being able to locate files, and I couldn't access any menus. So, I shut it down.
Now, when I boot it up, it goes to the Cyanoboot screen and then powers off. When I try to boot into recovery, it just gives me a black screen.

try a hard factory reset and then once you are sure its working fine
you can install another o/s and maybe use a different sd card as that one may be corrupt.
1 press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to turn off the nook
2. press and hold the power button, and then press and the home key while still holding the power button down.
the screen will flash and then the message "touch the future of reading" appears. The message disappears and the factory reset prompt appears.
3. press the home key to execute the factory reset. a confirmation screen will appear
4. press the home key again to confirm, the nook will be deregistered from Barnes&Nobles and original factory settings are restored..
if you've blown away the original factory settings you may need to download a new copy and load it onto an sd card (suggest a known good sd card)
and reload it.
good luck
Thanks! I've been able to get it back to stock, but I can't get a ROM installed. It either gives me a status 0 or status 7 error, or it hangs at the Cyanoboot screen and then eventually reverts to stock and sends me back to the "Hello, welcome to your NOOK" screen.
I've spent several hours going through XDA threads and various tutorials around the web, and nothing I do works. I've rooted and installed ROMs on three phones and two other Nooks (an original color and an HD+), and those all worked fine, but somehow this HD (hummingbird) manages to thwart all of my efforts. What really drives me crazy is that all of the tutorials make it look so easy, but when I try to do the same thing, it fails!
I think it might be a problem with the recovery. If I could just get that installed, then maybe it wouldn't be able to revert to stock anymore. But whenever I install a recovery, I get the same thing: it gets stuck on the Cyanoboot screen.
