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!

So I think I bricked one... I think its a hardware failure though. My power button was freaking out turning my screen on and off on nookie froyo so I formated system data and cache and reinstalled froyo. It still did it so I pushed the boot and system files to the propper places and tried to reboot to do a factory reset. It is now stuck on an install failed screen and my power btton doesnt work. Adb also doesnt work so there is no way to shut it off. I guess im taking it back tomorrow bought it yesterday from walmart and they are pretty good with returns so oh well. Hope no one else has this problem

Mine seems to be doing the same thing. In the middle of using the nook the power off options shows up. Then it'll eventually power off and I can't get it back on unless I put it on the charger. But then it seems like the battery is not holding a charge because it dies after about 10 to 15 minutes. I've tried 2 different Roms and 2 different Kernels and no luck. Did you ever figure this out?
jv
it's faulty hardware. Had the same exact problem, restored it to stock and sent it to B&N for a new one.
How old were your units?
How much use did they have?
When I try to start my G1 the display just stays black, not the "stuck on g1 screen" problem, it stays black and it doesn't vibrate like it usually does when starting it.
What I did was rooting, changing recovery to amonra 1.7.0 and installing the spl_1_33_2003.zip spl update, the update was successfully as it restarted normally and started to boot. Then I wanted to get to the bootloader mode so I pulled the battery. Since then the only Reactions are the red LED when charging and the Blue LED when getting in this JTAG-Mode or whatever.
I couldn't find any thread about this problem and I already did this whole procedure on another G1 without any problems.
I really hope, that you can help me
you should have waited for it to boot before pulling the battery
it is a 2 stage install, first is preps , then it reboots and competes the flash
you have a brick now

You should not have pull the battery, that is a no no especially during the install.
Are you able to even go into any mode? IE: camera+power, etc...
Nope, no Mode works, tried every combination, it just wont start-.-

U definitely have a bricked G1.
Well if u can't get into recovery nor bootloader its a sure sign of a brick...
How charged was ur battery? My battery died one time and it wouldn't load up as well. It went from a full charge to nothing.. just a thought....
But try charging it and try to get back Into bootloader.. but don't rule anything out.
Will think more but keep us posted

Oh! Yea! Happens to mine last weekend. But mine was doing the splash screen loops.
Battery was about at 50%. Tried with another battery and everything's the same. Looks like I really bricked it-.-
Anyway, thanks for the help
Future reference when doing serious mods such as updating spl, radio always make sure you have a full charge as these things can drain ur battery pretty quick. And the last thing u want is for ur battery to die in the middle.....
Have u tried reformatting ur sdcard. ?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Why should I reformat it, it makes no difference at all if an sdcard is inside or not, and the sdcard is working without any problems
Weirld **** happens man, , just a simple question. Never hurts to explore all options.. I'm done good luck

It does, sometime SD Card get corrupted. And it will prevent your phone from booting up correctly especially when you SD to install your apps etc...
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!
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
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.
I have/had my nook color rooter (1.4.2) and then the lovely update came by...now, I find I can not power off my nook. I hold the power button for minutes and nothing. I normally would run quick boot, but since root was taken away, I can't even get that to work.
I need to fix this so my wife doesn't yell at me too hard.
Any thoughts/help? Please?
Plug it up to the wall charger....not to the computer.....and try it again.

I just tried that again. It didn't work, I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm not sure what being plugged into the wall would have to do with shutting of the nook, but I'm desperate, I'll try anything. I just need it to reboot, I have the crm card installed in the nook. The button used to work. I'm just hoping that when the battery runs down, I'll be able to restart the nook.
Ok, so got the battery run down, managed to get it charged enough to reboot into recovery. Got root back so that much is done. But the power button still won't work.
And I made the mistake of powering it down (quick boot app)
I was able to get it start booting, (got the skull and crossbones Loading screen) but now it is hung there.
Any thoughts? You guys here are usually really good with coming up with something off the wall that works

And buying one used on eBay before the notices just won't cut it?
Seriously, do you have a bootable recovery SD card?

Yea I do have a bootable recovery SD Card. I re-ran it and still no love with the power button. Can I just use the old old 1.01 image (if I could find it) and take it back to that point?
I can't even to the 8 interrupted resets, because obviously the power button won't work

I think the button is still good. About a month ago I was able to do the interrupted boot process. When I rooted her NC, was when I noticed the button didn't work. Don't know if something with the flash or if I beat the button to death.

From my POV the Physical Button is dead… If you have tried turning off the NC while it was runing on CWM Bootable uSD using the Power Button and it did not turn off then the Button is dead.
Well, at least I have it rooted, and quick boot installed, I also have a CWM sd card in there, so if it happens to bork again, I can just let the battery die and then when it recharges it will power up....
I guess the button is dead, and I've not seen much in the way of instructions on how to repair the button. And out of warranty its probably cheaper to buy a new one than take it in to get repaired, cuz I can't actually get it back to factory state without having the power button to do the factory resets...

There is an app on play store called NookColor Power Button. It is a widget you can configure to do all of the power functions, sleep, power off, reboot, etc. I suggest you get the donate version. I think it is only 99¢. You can configure it for what you need.

Thanks!
My brother gave me his old captivate. It powers up and the bottom lights turn on, vibrate works, black screen. Looking for things to try to fix this problem. Thanks in advance for any help.
Samsung Captivate i897

Use button combo or Jig to get into download mode if u can. From there use Odin or Heimdall to flash a Stock firmware. See the stickied threads in the q&a and dev forums, Or my sig link below.

Thanks, ordered a jig from ebay. Should be coming soon.
So stick jig in the microusb port, should there be a sound to let me know it is in dl mode? Then take out jig then connect to computer? I dl'd the files you linked the other poster, both odin with bootloader and the other file with corn kernel.
Have phone powered off. Insert jig. No sounds will happen. Download mode screen should boot. If not, the phone may have other issues.

Can you post your result ASAP? Cause I am having the exact problem as you are (and as this dude:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750790&page=2)
I am not new to captivate, I have already had it for nearly 2 years, and everything including odin ways that used to work now doesn't....
So strange, yesterday it was ok as usual ,but when I got up this morning and it couldn't light up the screen no matter what physical button I hit. So I did flashing but it results in nothing.
Use I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 and my phone can boot up but screen comes black during boot animation
Use 3FileKF1NOBOOT or JF6_secure, my phone just gets stuck on the first boot screen
Use custom recovery, then (E:failed to mount /data (file exists) E:delete_data_files: can't mount /data your storage not prepared yet, please use ui menu for format and reboot actions)
So sad now...I haven't backed up my data and for now it looks like I could never get it back...

Will do, will take awhile though, checked my ebay and it shows eta around 1st week of april.
I was reading up some more last night, seems my captivate is a 1008, is that why none of the button combos work? Also while trying out the button combos last night, I just pressed the power button and it sounded like it booted all the way. It swhishing sound and short vibrate. Does that mean the phone is not soft bricked and it is a screen problem?

It's possible your digitalizer isn't connected properly. If that's the case, you'll have to open the phone to make sure everything if fine in there.
Forgot to update, received jig a few weeks back and screen didn't turn on. Opened up phone and connectors seem good. You guys know of any good places to get the screen for a decent price? Anyone parting out a cappy?
