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):

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

how did you get yours to turn off, my screen says loading... and is stuck there. any help in getting mine to shut off would be helpful
Does holding power button for a few seconds turn it off?
Same thing happened to me, this fixed my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986977
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.
Just installed CM7 final on uSD card. Works fine. So I went on and followed instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 to install gapps. Rebooted a few times, including using the shutdown menu to boot into recovery. But nothing happens. CM7 boot the system without any interaction and there is no sign of gapps anywhere.
Anybody succeeded?
zip file I installed was gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Rename to "update-gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip"
I had the same problem too with gapps using those instructions. When CM7 final was released, I just reimaged my SD card and tossed cm7.zip and the gapps.zip file onto the root of the SD card and reinstalled CM7. It installed gapps as well and it appears to be working fine.

Nonsense, you use the name as-is.
OP,
Sounds like you're just not getting into recovery right, it takes some practice with the timing. And you can't 'shut down into recovery', AFAIK that does not work. You'll have to hold the right combination of buttons bootup.. You'll need to look for your particular recovery, but for me I hold Power and the N button during the boot process and let go of the Power button about 5s after seeing the "Reading" message.
Thanks. It looks like khaytsus is right: I need to let go of the power button but hold on to the N button for a bit.
Works now!
After flashing gasps and if you don't see market icon, connect to wifi. Then it should show up.
OMG thanks for the one above me! i was flashing and flashing again and again the whole day about 10 times or more! and the only thing i should do, was enabling wifi -.-
Hi folks
I couldnt find a topic like this on google so i thought i'd post a thread to see what could be made of this...
After going through the Auto-Nooter rooting process, burning CWR onto a 4gb SD Card as well as the HC v4 EMMC (not version 2) and low and behold everything worked last night until...
This morning, i had selected Lock Rotation to On as Honeycomb looked better in landscape mode than it did in portrait and when i tried to unlock the Lock Rotation the screen went black. I then pressed the power button to see what's what and the usual lock screen came (the one where you swipe to unlock) however the lock screen doesn't stay on long enough for me to unlock it.
The screen switches on, shows the lock screen and just as quickly goes black/locks again. It's not a fault with the button because i thought it was clicking twice therefore regsitering an unlock then lock process quickly but it only clicks once
Any ideas? Im thinking it may be a CWR job but i'd rather ask you guys rather than wiping everything first
I cannot get my Nook Color to boot into CWR mode via the SD Card
I tried to install Honeycomb using the eMMC method however it has clearly went tits up since trying to switch off Screen Orientation Lock
Please guys, any help would be appreciated to get this restored - have tried the various recovery methods and it aint working
Thanks
No worries guys - just a mild hyper ventilating moment!! Proof is in the pudding below
Cyanogen 7.1 RC1 and Honeycomb for Nook
I have a Nook Color that has CWR 3.2.0.1 installed to the EMMC.
I am running 7.1 RC 1 - and I understand that it installed it's own uboot. When I see the Cyanogen logo, I can press the N key on the device and get a boot menu. Everything runs perfectly with this setup.
I have since tried to create a bootable 4gb Honeycomb preview SD, the newer Honeycomb Return as well. I have tried recovery to load the Honeycomb (install from ZIP). The SD card method with the original preview will lock at a black screen - requiring me to hold the power off button for 8 or so seconds. Swap back to my original SD card, and the CM7.1 boots fine again.
Not that I want Honeycomb as a daily use, I just want to play around with this OS but have not had luck with any of the Honeycomb options.
Can someone give me some pointers to get this working on this setup - is it a RC1 issue with the alternate uboot? Something I might have missed?
I am using a Motorola Droid on Verizon. Up until yesterday, it was bone stock. I rooted it, installed ROM Manager from the market, and followed the instructions to do a Nandroid backup.
I then I researched on the installation of a new ROM. I picked CM7, followed the instructions (or so I thought.) Using ROM manager, I installed it from the SD card. The file itself was in the download folder, not all the way at root. Also, it did not say anything in the program about formatting the SD card. I did, however, format the cache and dalvik cache.
Upon starting, it looped the boot screen for about 15 minutes. I tried again, same thing. I was getting frustrated, and unplugged and kept trying it. Eventually I tried to go back to my Nandroid backup, and at least have a working phone. My phone now said it couldn't find my SD card. I pressed factory reset, and when I rebooted, CM7 started, but didn't work correctly.
I am now stuck here: The Verizon part of my phone works. It makes and takes calls and texts. But I never got an 'enter your gmail address' screen. I also have no apps, other than the stock CM7 ones. No market access, nothing.
Can anyone help me?
CM7 doesn't come with Google apps. After installing cm7, use rom manager to install gapps pack. You will get your market, gmail and all others you want.
Gapps is also available as a seperate flashable update from the link below.

I'm getting two different scenarios while trying to install the Apps zip file, neither of which work.
If I 'install from the SD card' through ROM manager, it reboots, I get the Moto M, and then the phone goes to a new screen, where looks like it can't find the SD card, and then gives up after about 7 or 8 tries.
I do it manually, ClockWorkMod only will stay open for about 10 seconds, and then the phone reboots again. I don't even have time to get to the file. And even if I did, I don't think it'd take if I clicked it fast enough.
I feel like I'm so close to having my phone work, but I can't quite get it.

Did you try a fresh install? I meant wiping data.
I cleared all the data and it works. It works PERFECTLY. Thank you so much for your help. Seeing as though this is my only phone, and only phone I'm going to have for a long time, you have no idea how much hassle you saved me. Again, thank you!
No problem. Enjoy CM7.
A couple days ago I decided to load the new Safestrap Hashcode linked to. Everything went very well, and I have been running Maverick 4.5 in slot 2 as my daily driver. I was able to get back into Safestrap using the menu button. I also loaded Gummybear ICS into Slot 3, but went back to Maverick.
Yesterday I was going to go back into Safestrap and switch to the Gummybear/slot 3 rom to check it out.
I can't get back into Safestrap at all. I am stuck in the Maverick 4.5 rom.
One thing I did notice and do not understand: When I use Titanium Backup or the Reboot Widget to "Reboot into Recovery", I get a Yellow Triangle with an Exclamation Mark and the Android guy.

That's the stock Droid 3 recovery. Using a reboot recovery will lead to that, and will not allow Safestrap's bootloader to intercept the boot and activate Safestrap recovery.
I haven't tried running Safestrap 3.05 myself, since it's still not official, but I do know that you cannot reboot recovery as you describe to to get into Safestrap for any version of Safestrap.

thats the stock recovery
now. do you still get the boot menu splash page where it asks you to input the menu key or continue?
if so hit the menu many times or hit on the screen the hit menu for recovery image section, as it shoulod also work.
maybe my next question is silly or already tried, but have you tried to try it with the charger disconnected?
some times when my droid 3 is connected, the touch screen gets un responsive o registers more than input
hope this helps
I now have the same problem. I see the splash screen and it vibrates and reacts when I press the menu button, however it does not boot into safestrap v3.05.
From the JB topic it seems more people have this problem!

For those with trouble entering recovery with SS 3.05
The EASIEST and most DEPENDABLE way I've found to boot into the new SS 3.05 is;
Shutdown the phone
Slide open keyboard
Hold M and press the power button to boot the phone (still holding M, release when it boots the next step)
Immediately a menu pops up
Press Volume DOWN to highlight "BP Tools" (tap several times, be quick, if you wait too long, it'll automatically select what is highlighted)
Press Volume UP to select it.
Phone will reboot showing the M logo, then proceed into SS Recovery.

This did not work for me. It just hangs on the Motorola splash screen after choosing BP Tools. Just tried a few moments ago.
Also I haven't had my phone plugged in or charging.

Strange, I have tried it several times... worked each time... maybe try reinstalling safestrap 3.05? Back up what you can of course, stock should not be touched.

Had this problem today after creating a rom slot and flashing a new rom, this worked for me however I had to try it a few times. Once I got into recovery I wiped the rom and rom slot and ss3 is working properly now. Not sure if this was a rom issue or ss3.

When you run the OTA update to 906, it will remove the Safestrap bootstrap and will unroot as well. However, you can reroot with Motofail, then run the Safestrap app again to install recovery, and you slots *should* still be there. Perhaps making a backup of each slot before running the OTA would be smart.

i dont like the word "should"
ok i try to save the files in safetrap and try an OTA. yesterday the ota didn't run but i think i have to wait longer thar it starts the installation than the 10 minutes...
The slots are all stored on the internal storage (the mount point /sdcard) on the phone, so as long as you don't format internal storage, they should stay there.
I should note that I have never tried installing the OTA with safestrap 3.05 installed - I did it with 1.08. Actually, you may want to activate the stock slot, go into the safestrap app and uninstall recovery, and then try running the OTA. It's possible that the OTA will balk with a custom recovery installed - I don't remember, and, like I said, I never tried with Safestrap 3.05 installed.
You can also download the OTA, copy it to an external SD card, and manually run the update from stock recovery. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1643521
[edit] Sorry - that link is for an update from 890 to 906. I forgot that you were not on 890. Sorry about that...
I had almost the same problem with my phone, the diference is that mine got stuck on non safe system (Stock ROM). Initializing the phone with th Android Recovery (Turning on with the key "m" pressed down) and choosing BP Tools doesn't worked.
