So I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12513699#post12513699
and a modified version for my HTC Aria phone. It works great!
Is there any chance a dev here can modify CWM for eMMC to work in this way?
Pretty sure the Nook doesn't need any HTC hacks to charge while off.
isn't it an issue with the cm7 builds not being able to go into deep sleep (or having that option turned of or something?) cuz it causes problems with wifi?
i thought the not turning off if plugged in issue was related to this

Not sure if you were trying to be a smart-ass or not, but obviously my Nook isn't made by HTC, however if I plug it in while it's turned off, guess what, it turns on.
I believe it's a Clockwork "hack", not an HTC specific hack, but I could be wrong.

My HTC Aria is running CM7 and this hack worked perfectly for it.

That is because it is actually supposed to turn on when you plug it in. You should have it plugged in and then shut off to have it charge while off. No need for a HTC clockwork mod, as the problem was only with HTC devices.
I know you can turn it off after it starts charging, but it's not supposed to turn on, as you say, the stock Nook doesn't.

Yes it does. Plugging in any nook while off turns it on.
Really? Guess I missed that in the day or so that I had an unmodified Nook.
Still would like to hear from a dev whether or not the system could be modified to not fully boot when connected. It seem illogical to me to have a device as power-hungry as the Nook boot up when you want to charge it, which will slow down the charging process.

Day of stock? Pft 10 minutes.
But yes, it does seem completely bass-ackwards to have it do that.
Isn't this driven by the whole USB then microSD then EMMC boat loader? It makes sense to me that the device be turned on when plugging in USB if your first boot device is USB.
Ahhh... didn't realize that the Nook had USB booting, that would probably kill this. I thought it was just SD, then eMMC. Bummer.

It's not wifi it's the touchscreen and other parts go too far into sleep and will never recover. This has nothing to do with charging or recovery.

After plugging in the USB turn your nook off by holding the power button. It will continue to charge

It's a hack implemented by Clockwork to replicate the same behavior that the stock HTC recovery does on your phones.
Before this hack was in place plugging in your HTC Aria while off would force it to boot into recovery with no real reason. This modification just boots into a "off-mode charging" screen which was implemented using the recovery ramdisk and kernel but a different userspace program.
The Nook doesn't need this as it's implemented in hardware quite well.
1) The nook will turn on automatically.
2) There is not enough power the bootloader will display a screen needing more of a charge
3) It seems, based on my testing, that the nook will continue to charge even when the device is full turned off.
So in conclusionL I am glad it worked for you on your HTC Aria, but this hack is for specific HTC phones and does not apply to the nook color.

From the B&N Nook Color User Guide:
To charge your NOOKcolor from a wall outlet, do this:
1. Assemble the power adapter and microUSB cable. Insert the large end of the USB cable into the matching receptacle on the power adapter.
2. Plug the NOOKcolor end of the USB cable into your NOOKcolor.
3. Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOKcolor was turned off, it will now turn itself on.
NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take around 3-4 hours to fully recharge
your NOOKcolor. Do not turn of your NOOKcolor while it is charging.
NOTE: Once your NOOKcolor has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the
battery by checking the battery charge indicator in the right corner of the Status Bar. You may need to
drag the green NOOK symbol to the right across your screen to unlock your NOOKcolor and display
the Status Bar, which runs along the bottom of the screen.
4. Once your NOOKcolor has fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Unplug the USB
cable from your NOOKcolor.

Seems like there is a design reason for that.
What? You can boot off USB too? I didn't even know that!
sorry, i was totally off i guess, thanks for the clarifications guys.
I've powered my NC off after i've plugged it in and have come back to an already booted device.
This is not once or twice, it's pretty much all the time.
Maybe i just have a weird device? I DID buy it off craigslist used... but i've had no issues at all as far as user functionality goes in the month or so i've had it.

I knew that, but was trying to avoid that step.
Thanks for all the info guys, I still think since the Nook does charge after powering off, it would be nice if someone could find a way to skip that whole boot/power-down process so I can just plug it in and walk away.

Are you running the stock ROM? Mine did the same thing until I installed a different ROM. HC and CM7 both stay off when charging after I have powered them down.
I've been running CM7 nightly builds off emmc mostly, if not the tablet tweak ones before they were integrated.
Not something I consider an issue for me, but I've yet to do any complete wipe since I first flashed CM7. I might try phiremod over the weekend unless the fascinate forum blows up with new stuff (our 2.2 source code finally dropped today), in which case I'll do a complete wipe and see if the problem persists.
EDIT: Yes, i'm running with the latest OC kernel
EDIT 2: Ok... I didn't notice before, but I guess I have a sort of faulty usb? not sure but it flickers from time to time, like on and off. I've never really paid attention to it while it charges, but i just noticed that the light on the N went off and came back on a few seconds later and confirmed that it flickers from time to time on its own. So on the bright side i guess i don't have hardware with an anomaly, too bad I have a charging cable with a mind of its own
Are you running one of Dalingrin's Overclock Kernels? I'm guessing not, since that would be the only other difference.

I've been plugging it in and then powering it off to charge. Now I find out that the guide specifically states to not turn off your NOOKcolor while it is charging.
Will charging while it's powered off screw up the battery calibration?
edit: one thing I've noticed is that if charging powered off, the usb light never turns green when it becomes fully charged.
I just wanted to recap my experience for the benefit of others. I am running the latest rum runner ROM with CWM 5.0.x.x. I have not updated my CWM yet because I do not have an external sd card right now, and don't want to upgrade until I do, since 5.5.x.x mounts external sd, not internal.
So yesterday I let my phone completely die before I got home for the night. I plugged it in, and it booted straight into recovery as soon as I booted. If I chose reboot option in recovery, it would just reboot back into recovery again. If I unplugged my phone and chose reboot option, it would just shut the phone off. Plug charger back in, and phone would turn itself on and back into recovery. After letting it sit on the charger in recovery (which does not show a charging light btw) for about 30 minutes, it was still doing the same thing. After about another 30 minutes on the charger, I tried it one more time before I was going to start thinking of other options. I guess it built up enough of a charge to boot without being plugged in, and since it was not plugged in, it booted normally.
I just wanted to share my experience in case this happens to anyone else. Just leave the phone on the charger sitting in recovery mode. Even though there is not light on, the phone is still charging.
I'm glad someone posted this. The very samething happened to me and I was freaking out too. I knew the phone wasn't bricked bc it would always boot back into recovery but it just wouldn't boot into the rom. I too left on the charger for about an hour until it finally booted back up. I'm not running a custom rom but I am rooted.
That is an issue with the 5.5 rec. It's causing devices which are off and plugged in to boot to rec.
Just let it charge for a few minutes to make sure it has some juice, then pull the battery and unplug it. Then turn it on, wait ten seconds to get past the initial bootup, and then plug back in. Also I think you can avoid it all by using fastboot in settings/power.

I guess it is an issue in the 5.0 recovery too. I guess the best thing to do is to just shut your phone off once it hits a couple of percent
I am also using CWM 5.0. I haven't upgraded to 5.5 yet.
I upgraded using ROM manger and let my phones battery die and now it will not charge. So now that my battery will not charge my phone will not turn back on. I have tried every thing I can think of and nothing is working. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you read what the OP had posted??

I did read that but I was not getting into recovery. But now I did get the phone to boot into hboot. Tired to flash the old cwr but it tells me that the battery is to low and it fails. So do you know if the phone will charge in hboot?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I seem to have fixed the issue by using adb and booting into hboot and letting the phone charge enough to turn it on. After which I reflashed the 1st CWR that I had on the phone and now everything seem to be just fine.
Last night I let my HD+ discharge to 1% for the first time. (It was interesting. It reported 5%, then jumped up to 7%, ran for about 15 minutes, then suddenly announced 1%.)
I immediately turned it off and put it on the charger.
I usually don't let it get below 15%. Fortunately I dodged a bullet in that it started charging when I plugged it into the OEM charger. (I read later in the forum that sometimes you can't get the HD+ out of deep discharge.)
BUT . . . the charging behavior has changed. I can't charge the HD+ up anymore when it's off. It has to be on now to charge.
IIRC, it used to be that I could plug the HD+ into the charger when the HD+ was off, the yellow light would come on, and the unit would charge. It doesn't do that anymore since the deep discharge.
I came back into the room about 15 minutes after starting the charge and I noticed the back light on the HD+ was on. The unit had mysteriosly turned itself on and booted when I plugged the charger in.
So I turned it off while the charger was still plugged in. The yellow light went off and when I came back in an hour, the unit had not charged at all.
In the end, I had to disconnect/connect the charger and let the unit boot to charge it up.
Doesn't seem right that the unit should do an un-commanded power on. Not sure if that's a bug or supposed to be a "feature." (Like, to tell the B&N warranty team that you let the battery go deep?) I can't imagine how this could be a ROM issue - the power button is a "soft-switch" which is controlled by hardware or firmware. But I cleared /cache and /dalvik anyway. (No change.)
Anyone else got this behavior? I read one post in the forum where a guy had to open the unit and unplug the battery to get a "reset" just to get it to take a charge. I'm hoping I don't have to open the case.
So, maybe I don't recall correctly?
I found a post over in the cyanogenmod forum where someone claims the Nook HD+ needs to be on to charge.
So maybe I'm all confused. Maybe my HD+ always turned on when I charged it and I never noticed.
Can someone confirm for me if their HD+ will charge powered off?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the stock HD+ works that way but I don't know if that's a hardware thing or a B&N software thing. I usually just plug ours (we have both HD and HD+) when they get down to 25% or so and they rarely get turned off.

Pretty sure it only charges when it is powered on. You will see the amber light.

Well, it's easy enough to power it down to see if yours will charge powered off.
I was fairly sure I was able to charge power off, since I woulda thought it was odd that I couldn't. And I thought I had done that at nights, powering it down for the night but charging it up at the same time to get ready for the next day.
But again, it could have always been that I just never noticed the unit had booted itself on. Then I would have assumed I had powered it on when I got back to it.
Anyway, I await some soul to power theirs down while plugged in and report if theirs charges powered off.

No worries my man. Does your nook do the same thing?
I've got a Nook HD running CM11 M11. It won't stay powered off. I power it off, and it shuts down, but then about 30 seconds later powers back on, as if it's going through a restart instead of a power off. I've tried it several times, including once where my husband watched to verify I was selecting the correct option.
Suggestions?

You did not mention whether the Nook is plugged in. It will always boot up when external power is applied. You can shut it down fully when running on battery only.
Sorry. Yes, not plugged in. It turns back on when running on battery power.

Same problem with my Nook HD & my wife's both with CM 11
I have solved it by using QuickBoot app to shut it down. I know it really isn't solving the problem, but at least when I turn it off it stays off
Here's the link to the app

Had the same problem. Updated to the next nightly and the problem was gone
Hi,
I'm running an htc one m7 with "android revolution hd" rom version 4.x.
For some reason lately, just started a dew days ago; the phone is stuck at 23% while on charge.
I powered the device off last night and stuck it on charge, i monitored for a while and saw it go up to 30%. Today when i checked it, it was down to 23% again with phone off??
What's going on?
When i power it up it claims the device is using too much power to charge... I'm charging it the same way for ages without any issue; what could have happened, is the battery destroyed I wonder?
Thanks for any help.

I did try to charge while off.... the phone went from 30% to 23% in a hurry!
Just updated to Android Revolution HD 4.4.3 and now seems to have charged.
Hopefully this will be ok now but I'm still not a 100% if it is "fixed"....
if you're not sure and the problem will come back, the best solution is flashing RUU for your CID.
My thoughts that it was a bug are probably right as its fully charged now and hasn't heated up like before.
We'll see though it's still early days yet.
Thanks for the suggestions in the meantime
