[Q] Eight Failed Boots not working

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

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.

[Q] Annoying problem.

So earlier I had thought I bricked my nook. I had gotten it root pretty easily, but then my problem afterwards was a bit rough. I had installed a rom, that was done without issues, I wasn't sure how i got to nook to boot to android with the sd card having an image burned onto it, but it did. Anyway, after rebooting the nook with the clockwork mod recorvery sd card, it booted back into recovery. I, like an idiot, formatted my sd card from recovery, this caused the nook to freeze. It sat for about 5 minutes and then turned off, then afterwards it wouldn't turn back on.
After burning cw recovery image back onto sd card it booted up fine, i formatted everything, flashed the rom over again and now it won't boot into andriod. it keeps booting into recovery, and if i take out the sd card it won't turn on at all, it just stays black and doesn't even flicker white.
Everytime i take out the sd card the problems start, with the sd card in, it works fine, it just will only boot the image which is clockwork mod. Any suggestions? I'm clueless on what to do? I've tried a search but it didn't seem to do any good. Thanks in advance.

Nook CM7 Boot loop. Cannot get into recovery

i am stuck on a boot loop that flashes to a green cyanogen symbol that says loading underneath. it shows this for about 3 secs then cuts off. the screen flashes two or three times then right back to the same screen. Over and over. I cannot cut it off. Cannot get into Clockwork recovery...cant do anything. ive re-formatted my sd card and loaded a bootable image to take it back to stock and try and start over...but it just continues to loop the green cyanogen loading screen loop. Cannot power it on or off. It can run dead and when i plug it in, about ten minutes later it starts right back into this loop. Even if i take the SD card out it does this. I have taken the SD card out and let the battery run dead and plugged it back in to no avail.
seems I cant get it to even look for the SD card.
The nook was running fine with cm7 installed. I went for about 2 months without using it and plugged it up and it loaded to this.
I have searched for several days with no luck. Most everything I find involves getting into clockwork recovery and re-flashing or whiping cache and data...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

more info
i just formatted my Sd card and loaded a fresh clockwork mod. put it in and low and behold it now booted to a screen with two little skulls and says loading. HOWEVER...it just repeated its stupid loop with no control and instead of showing the cyanogen loading screen it shows the skull loading screen...then just rinse and repeat. No ability to boot into anything...power on /off anything. I removed the sd card and it automatically reverted to the green cyanogen loading bootloop.
using logic here..im guessing it is looking for the sd card or else it wouldnt have went to the cmr loading screen from the sd card.
Im wondering now if it is a hardware issue...
anyone ever seen this?

You probably are in a recovery bootloop. Look at the links in my signature to see how to get out of it. Both the tips thread and maybe the partition repair thread.

thanks, trying it now...

ok..i am getting somewhere. I was able to boot into the cyanboot universal bootloader. I went to the menu and selected "internal emmc normal' it says loading emmc..then just reboots back to the cyanboot bootloader screen. says loading then loops.
i have read your fixing the partition post but want to be sure where to begin or if I need to go there yet..
thanks so much for your help.

Did you use my new CWM SD I had in my tips thread? If you tried that and were not able to clear the flag by exiting with the reboot option, you need to repair partition 2. But be sure to try my CWM first. It is modified to help get out of the loop.
Edit: just reread your posts again. It sounds like you did try my CWM card if it booted to cyanoboot boot loader. But cwm is not coming up? You are not going to be able to flash my partition repair zips without cwm. Let me know, there may be a way to use adb to fix it.
Edit2: Another thing you can try is the eight failed boots reset. The nook has an automatic reset feature where if it cannot boot 8 times in a row, it will revert itself back to stock like it came out of the box. See this post below, it is the best description I've seen on how to make it happen.

Edit3: I just did a little experimenting and found that the 8 failed boots only works if you still have the stock recovery on emmc.
Edit4: I added a section to my tips thread that discusses the 8 failed boots and provides a stock recovery zip.

[Q] Phone is borked

This morning my phone turned off and kept booting into recovery mode. I took out my micro sd and it booted but wouldn't get past the cyanogenmod boot screen. I tried doing an odin one click back to stock but my phone is now stuck in a boot loop. When I try to go into recovery and mount my phone, it tells me that the sd card can't be mounted.
I figure that my internal sd got messed up somehow. Is there anyone out there that can help in fixing this?

It's a shame that there seems to be no fix :\

[Q] NOOK HD+ Stuck On NOOK boot screen

Nook HD Plus has been running great. Cyanogen running fully on internal memory with no issues. I was using TWRP and wanted to go back to CWM. So I flashed it and all seemed fine. Then I rebooted, and now it is stuck on the First Nook Splash Screen. I have tried to reinstall everything using a bootable SD card but still will not get past the Nook Screen. I can use the SD Card to boot into CWM and it takes all the installs just fine, but still stuck on the Nook Screen. Any ideas??? I have tried to install everything from stock to Carbon with the same results.

Have you found a solution yet? I am facing the same problem since trying out cyanogenmod 11 (SD-Version) alongside CM 10.2. Always stuck on NOOK Screen TWRP and CWM bootable from SD, no installs possible.

I have not. I did find out that the main issue is the internal drive was somehow formatted and that is why it will not boot properly. Not sure how it happened, but I think the main bump here will be to try and reformat the drive so it can load the bootloaders properly......it works with the SD card because the bootloader files are on the SD.....driving me nuts.

Try and install stock plain rom and let your device charge (must be turned on!) for 5 hours.
Worked for me:good:

Hi so you have any Solution for this Problem. I tried the charging and i can go to recovery via sd and flashing Works Fine but i won't get past the nook boot screen without an sd.
Any ideas what i can do i already installier stock but an Hard reset or 8 Times shutdown wouldn't work ether.

Beware that two of the HD+ partitions (see section #16 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34168454#post34168454 for a complete list of partitions) namely /rom and /factory contain your device's unique factory-installed data such as WiFi MAC address, encryption keys, etc. You'd lose all this data, without which your HD+ cannot run, upon reformatting the entire drive -- unless you know how to backup and restore them.

Actually before doing any of those, you will always need to select the wipe data option when you boot to the CWM Recovery. Since you went from TWRP to CWM, you'll need to wipe it, and then flash it. Try that and see if it works.
