Not sure what I did while in recovery, but it was looping after trying to update Phiremod with a auto update. Screen went black and ever since my pc with not recognize the nook being plugged in nor will it boot into recovery with the appropriate zip and image on my sd card.
Any clues would be much appreciated

There's no way you bricked an "unbrickable" device. You may just have to create a CWM SD and restore your previous Phiremod ROM.
P.S. SD boot priority ROCKS!!

Challenge Accepted!
The first thing to try if you're getting no response is to hold down 'n' while powering on and see what happens. Otherwise, hit the pinned "My Nook won't boot" thread in General.
Try booting with no SD card in. If that works some Androids I have played with don't like to boot with the ROM zip on the root. The nook especially gets stuck trying to boot from the SD when there is nothing to boot on it.

I am just saying I have tried all of the above and there is no response from my nook. I have the CMW SD and nothing, I have tried holding down the n while powering on, nothing I have tried booting with no SD, nothing. I have been all though the Pinned thread my nook won't boot, tried it all, even bought a new sd card just in case, nothing

What program are you using to burn the clockwork card?

Win32Diskimager, I think I'm stuck until my pc with recognize the device. The light on the Nook Power Cord changes from yellow to green like it's supposed to. Can't imagine the port on the nook just going bad at the same time but maybe that's the case.
just got back from Barnes and Noble, they could not get the Nook to be recognized on their computer with a new cord either

Did you make sure to run as admin and check the MD5?
Sent from my LG Optimus V using Tapatalk
yes everything has been done over and over, the nook is not recognized by the pc which in turn won't allow me to boot to anything.
wonder if the screen went bad
but then again, if it is powering on and the screen is bad, you should see it via adb
if the port and the screen went bad, then you didnt brick it per say, but its just hardware failure.
if its under warranty and registered, id say try to get it rma'd
if it is truely dead, they cant say that you voided the warranty
The sdcard adapter being used to burn the cwm or cyanogenmod install can influence whether or not the nook will boot from it.
Try burning the sdcard using a different adapter. I ended up using both the nook itself as well as my phone plugged into my PC as any attempt to boot from an sdcard burnt from the adapter that came with it will not even power on when inserted into the nook.
Hope this helps.

If it won't power up, just try pluging in the usb cord or hold the power button for 20 seconds. Try it a few times.
I should be honest, there was an option that said format boot, and i pressed it, when i plug in the usb it wont even get detected by the computer and i already tried plugging it in and turning it on, it there any hope?
What orange thing did you wipe everything in? Was it clockwork recovery? What did you we wipe?
some cache that start with d
boot
sd
i tried the factory reset option and it wouldnt go through
i think it was mostly caches, the thing i believe screwed me was the boot
I agree...I had to reboot the 8 times many times and then it boot looped and after 1 hr of rebooting and trying to re-installing 1.0, 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 it finally went back to stock 1.0 after I placed the auto-nooter sdcard back into the nookcolor and did the 8 times...IT WORKED I got the going back screen and now I am back up and running.
OH, HAD to plug in the usb to the PC also! So plug in and sdcard and do the 8 times...
Oh god, why do people like you purchase something such as a NC and try to modify it?
Try following the steps below, or don't, and try to return your Nook Color for a new one, and in the future don't touch it. Ever.

You can make a bootable recovery SD card. If you stick that in your nook, it should boot into recovery. Once you are in recovery, you can pull that SD card. Then you can put one in that has a backup. If you don't have a backup, you could probably get yourself back to stock from there. Then just start over.

I just can't understand why someone would confirm anything, let alone a "Format", without knowing full well what it was before doing so. It makes no sense.

Sorry but which file do i download? there are three option, and im tired of making mistakes
Don't worry about your Nook Color. It's all recoverable. I did some tests with my Nook too because the LogicPD thing wouldn't let me register my Gmail account. I format boot, data, and system. Formatting boot will give you the black screen you are having. You don't know if it's dead, on, or off but I assured you the Nook is not dead.
Get a copy of Clockwork and burn it to a uSD and copy a flashable sideload_update.zip to it. Put the uSD in your Nook Color. Have your Nook Color plugged to the power outlet. Hold the power button like 10 seconds. If it's not on, hold another 10 seconds until the screen powered on. Then run the recovery zip file.
Now if the LogicPD thing won't register your Gmail account, just skip it. Go to your NookTool settings, and run the second Wifi settings which does the Nook setup. There is something wrong with your Nook not getting registered causing the Market to not have wifi so it couldn't connect.

Yes, that is correct.
You want this either of the bottom two files. They are the same, just meant for different size SD cards. If you are using an SD that is 1gb or larger, either one will work.
christianrios, just to let you know, I did the exact same thing. I formatted Boot and system and my nook would not power on.
But doing the clockwork recovery bootable SD thing fixed it easily so don't worry. You'll fix it.
Im getting frustrated here, im on the cwr screen and i formaat system and data, i run the sd install reboot and nothing, what am i doing wrong?
Ok, here is what you do! Make the clockwork recovery SD card. But also! put the 1.1 rom zip file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145 onto the SD card.
Now when you boot into clockwork recovery, select "install zip from sdcard" then pick "choose zip from sdcard" and then find the 1.1 rom and it will install. Reboot without the SD card in the nook and it should be fixed.
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):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145
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

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.
Hey guys,
I have a rooted Nook Color, that was running CM7 (very smoothly to say the least), and now it won't boot. Last time it actually turned on was a few days ago and I turned it off, at that point, and now it won't turn back on.
The really weird part is that if i put in my recovery sd card, it'll boot into recovery just fine. From there I've tried to flash pretty much every rom, take out my recovery sd card and boot.. with no avail (on the booting part).
If anyone knows how to get my nook to power on, i would be the happiest guy ever.
P.S. I've tried the whole 'hold power for 10 secs and plug in to have it turn on' deal, and even that doesn't work.
[EDIT] I found THIS xda page that helps you re-format boot. So if you have the same problem go here.

Hi all,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out as I am seemingly in a bad situation. I received my Nook 2 days ago and rooted and tried out a few different ROMS to get a feel for the choices. In any case, for some reason my Nook no longer appears to be booting anything from internal memory. Any ROM I have tried (stock included) has failed to boot, but I can get the Nook to load CWR with the memory card in. When I say failed to boot, I mean a black screen. Like no response from the device at all.
Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, I really dont know what else to do or what the problem is.
Thanks,

Get the nook restore to stock zip and the boot restore zip. Flash those both back to it. Also, make sure you are wiping, System, then Data, then Boot beforehand. And wipe both Dalvik and cache. Nook Color is nearly impossible to hard-brick (in the sense of being unable to recover from it).

This happens because the boot partition is corrupt. This is usually the result of you formatting the SD card with CM7. Due to a bug, when you try to format the SD card, it will wipe out the boot partion as well. Just restore the boot partion and you will be OK.

Okay, so I understand that the problem is that CM7 changed around the boot partition files, that makes sense as that was the last thing I could get running on internal memory. When I was flashing HC v4 to EMMC I also flashed a boot repair, and that still did not work. I cannot seem to find a boot repair file for stock, where do I get that.
Sorry for the noob questions, and I am definitely trying to use search the forums for answers before i ask these questions!
We have life!!! I found a stock boot restore file and it turned out to work, I am back to stock again. Man this is sure a learning experience. I have been flashing my Evo for a while now, but the nook is a different beast all together.

If I boot nooter 0.2 then the USB plug goes green which apparently indicates booting. Oh and OMAP3630 shows up for a second on booting too.
Thing is I didn't do anything to break the screen and there is no physical damage to the unit. so it's just weird

I thought I had the same issue because of the screen being blank. That said it is highly unlikely your hardware ( ie screen ) is bad. I was able to get mine working correctly last night doing what is mentioned above. However to get it to work right booting into CWR via a bootable sdcard I had to make a new bootable sdcard from the one I had. Not sure if something was corrupted on the card I was trying to use or what. But as soon as I made a new bootable sdcard and put it in the device and powered on it boot right up to CWR off the sdcard like I needed so I could fix it. So my suggestion if you can is take a totally different sdard fro the one you have been using and make a new bootable sdcard and give it a shot.
BTW with no card in the device hold the power key down for about 20 secs to make sure it is fully powered off. Even tho your screen is blank does NOT mean it is fully powered off as I learned real fast last night when I tried working on mine. I thought it was off from the night before but it must not have been because I put a bootable HC sdcard in it and when I plugged it in I got a msg saying battery to low to power on plz try again in 15 mins. About 10 mins later I came back and it was finally powering itself on and booting into HC off the sdcard. So I let it fully charge and then start playing with it to finally get it back up and running again.
While I was DE-registering my NOOK HD+ I pull the SD card. It pop up a dialogue box saying something has crashed. I dismissed it and proceeded the process again. Now my NOOK stuck at the NOOK logo. When I put in a SD card with CWM it does not get pass cyanoboot logo. How have a CWM backup for my nook but since it can't load CWM I can't do any restore. Please help.

Try doing a 8 failed boot reset. Interrupt the boot without the SD in 8 times in a row. Just hold the power button for a few seconds after each boot try. It will format everything and install the factory rom. Then maybe you can boot the CWM SD and restore.

Dear Leapinlar,
Thank you very much for your advise. Have already done many power down and up etc. Just tried it again, see the Nook logo, press the power button until it disappear, press the button until it appear etc. Done more than 8, no luck. Is there some timing requirement? How does the home button come into play concerning some low level signal to which code? Tech support guy from BnN asked me to hold the two buttons for 30-40s, no luck there.
The fact that cyanoboot logo appear with the CWM does that mean code introduced by the SD card is gaining control but was stuck looking for something that was not there? Is there a version that can just boot up and let me do some restoring?

Without the SD in, the booting to n logo and powering off many times should kick in the reset. Maybe you are powering off when it is trying to reset. Let it go with booting for a few seconds before you power off, to make sure it is not in the reset mode.
EDIT: Wait till the n dims (or even a little longer) each time before you power off. That way you are sure it is not in the reset mode.

Try pressing N (or it could've been N + power button) without the SD card in, right after switching on the device. You should have a menu appear to hard reset the device.
EDIT: Actually, you might need to press N before turning on the device. I definitely seen this menu while playing around with the buttons.

Sounds like a hardware failure. I suggest a warranty exchange.

I say you can try put CWM on diff card and try booting off diff card. At least that's one last thing you haven't try. Still, that's not gonna fix your stock nook, unless you made a backup.

I was a bit hasty posting that, but now that I can see that you can see 'cyanoboot' logo, it appear that it does boot from sd card, just not a successful one. So, at least it seem the bootloader partition on the nook isn't corrupt. So, I'm pretty sure trying a diff card should work. We have at least a few people confirming to have similar problem after running CM10.1 on the HD+.

He said he had a backup. But even if he did not, and he got a new CWM SD to work, he could flash my plain 2.0.0 stock zip linked in my HD/HD+ CWM thread.

I tried making another SD from the image that was proven to work before. The result is the same. See the logo and it stops there.

Have you tried booting while the USB power plug in?
