[Q] Help! Clockwork Recovery invisible or unreachable!

Yesterday I decided to update my Cm7 from 7.0.2 to 7.1.0. I erased the Data and the Cache before installing 7.1.0. I then installed the gapps and update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411ext4.zip so that I could overclock.
When I rebooted I first get the cyanogen mod logo the I just got the text saying android in the corner and nothing else. I rebooted 20-30 times and I never goes away.
If I hit the N while the cyanogens logo is up it boots into Encore U-boot menu, which I never installed or have seen before.
From there if I select “Boot Mode: Recovery” and then “Boot Now” but then it just goes to a blank screen.
Now I’m starting suspect that the blank screen might be the Clockwork Recovery because when I hit the N button twice it reboots as if I were in Recovery and selecting Reboot and confirm.
I tried getting into Clockwork Recovery the normal way which was to hold the power and the N button then powering it on but it doesn’t take me into it. I've also tried holding the power button with each of the volume button. No luck there either.
So first of all what did I do wrong. Second, how do I get into Clockwork Recovery and fix this?

You seem to mess things up.
Firstly, you failed to indicate where the CM7 currently running from.
Secondly, you force us to guess:
a. By saying this "I tried getting into Clockwork Recovery the normal way which was to hold the power and the N button then powering it on but it doesn’t take me into it." I assume you are running CM7 from uSD.
b. And from this "and update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-042411ext4.zip so that I could overclock." You are telling us that you had installed Dalingrin kernel of an eMMC version.

CM7 running from the device and not the sd card
I don't know what an eMMc is.

Good to know you're running CM7 from eMMC (referred to the internal memory)
1. Since you got the stable 7.1, you don't need to install that OLD 042411 version of Dalingrin kernel.
2. A question, how did you perform those updates? from ROM Manager or from CwMR uSD card?

This is the video that I used to show me how to initially put gingerbread cm 7.0.2 on my nook then I first got it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88qRbLLEAPQ&feature=related
And then yesterday I tried to install the CM 7.1.0 and the overclock kernal I mentioned above.
Did I brick my nook?

I rebooted into Clockwork Recovery and installed 7.1.0 then the gapps then the overclock kernal, then rebooted.

I can't view any Youtube when at work. Speculate that clip was outdated.
NC is virtually un-brickable. Don't panic.

Here is the Clockwork Recovery download link from the video:
http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/downloads/
I don't know if it has been updated from when I did it earlier this year.

Also,
I tried putting the micro sd card back in that had the software that automatically installed the Clockwork but it didn't do anything. I would have thought that it would have tried to re-install the Clockwork recovery.

I'm at a loss on what I can try next. Does anyone know what I can try?

Make a bootable CWR SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735&highlight=recovery
Then then flash CM7 stable or the latest Nightly and once you've booted up you can use the Rom Manager to reflash your internal CWR.

I'm thinking about trying a program I looked up called auto nooter just so I can get it to do something! Does anybody think it will make it worse?

Do you know if I can use can 3.2.x.x for my nook? I got it towards the beginning when they first came out so its an older nook. I wonder because your link says that newer nooks are not compatible with can 3.0.x.x because the partitions are different. Do you know of a link that says what nooks are compatible with what cwm's?

The newer CWR is compatible with all Nooks, new and old.

Help I brick my Nook HD+ and CWM SD card no longer boot up

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.

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.

[Q] Nook Hd+ won't boot to recovery [Cyanogen 10.1]

Hello. As per instructed, I have search the threads, but haven't found anything like the problem I'm facing. Most can get to recovery or hand on the cyanogen loading. As such I am posting this query to see if anyone can help me.
I have been using Cyanogen 10.1 emmc on my new B&N HD+ tablet for about a week now, installed by following the guide found here. I made sure to make back up at every step; before flashing Cyrogen, and after. Anyways Yesterday, the tablet refuses to boot. I can press the power button, the Nook hd+ and connect it using usb, but the screen remains blank (black). It never gets to the nook screen or the cyanogen loading screen. I have tried to restore a backup, but no matter what I do, I can't get the nook to boot into recovery mode. I have tried 3 different boot sd, but none bring up the loader, not even the one that work when I first installed Cyanogen.
I have drained the battery completely and recharge it about 2 times now and I have held down the N + Power methods. I installed TWRP as a replacement over stock recovery mode. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Install Failed - Bricked?

I have very stupidly gone into 'mounts and storage' in CWM and format bootdata, system, cache, data, emmc and sdcard (I had some problems with verygreen native install and thought I would clear the system and do a fresh install!).
Now when I try to boot my Nook I get the 'Install Failed' message. Rebooting makes no difference - I keep getting the same message. I've tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and then reinstall stock 2.1. I found this on a leapinlar thread and it looks like it installs but then shows a message in CWM 'random offset 0x37d'
After reboot it looks like its installing (nook hd with a little blue bar filling up from left to right) but then it goes back to 'Install Failed' screen.
Help? is it bricked?
Thanks in advance!

Take out the SD card and attempt to start it 8x in a row, hopefully the stock recovery will kick in.

Just tried rebooting 8x times in a row.... No luck

Did you make and keep a stock backup before you installed CM? When I needed to return to stock, restoring a backup worked for me.

I did download the stock rom from the thread and install it from CWM but get the message 'random offset 0x336' (the last part '0x336' varies each time you try to install stock rom) in CWM. After rebooting I still see 'install failed'....

Don't worry about that random offset message, it is normal.
Your issue is you formatted /bootdata. That is the partition that controls whether to boot to stock recovery or to boot normally. It is also what tells stock recovery whether to try to install the factory ROM. That is what it is trying to do with that install failed message.
You said you tried the 8 failed boot. Did you interrupt the boot 8 times by hard turning off as soon as the nook logo shows? If not, do that.

Thanks for the advice Leapinlar, I've tried it three times now and still no luck - keeps getting stuck at the 'install failed' window.I took out the SD card pressed the power button, let go and then pressed and held it when the Nook logo came on and repeated 8 times and finally tried to reboot as normal on the 9th time.
Leapinlar, I've also installed the 'NookHDplus-emmc-stock-recovery-rev0-(05.16.13).zip' but this hasn't helped..any ideas?

You do have the stock recovery installed. That is what is saying install failed to you. The issue is that your bootdata partition does not have the right info in it. So it keeps trying to boot to recovery.
Send me a private message with your serial number in it and I will make you a custom zip to try.

I see my zip worked for you, at least with CM10.1. There are a lot of secret keys that somehow got erased with your formatting, so stock will probably never work for you again. But fortunately CM10.1 is good.

thank you again. Happy to be on CM10.1 - I don't use stock but wanted to have it for when I came to sell it. Oh well...

Could you make one of those zips for me? Or a zip where I can add my own SN? I'm in the same /bootdata boat. I'll PM you.

Sent a follow-up PM earlier but I haven't heard back, so I wanted to see if there was any other info you needed (or I can post SN here.. what can anyone do with it really..). Going from the OP, this is exactly the same problem I'm in (format bootdata and now in a 'Install Failed' (blue bar, same as OP) stock recovery loop) which seems to have worked. No interest in stock, just CM.
Thanks!

Leap, just wanted to say thank you so much! Completely saved my Nook. Your bootdata flash was a huge help. Back up and running on CM 10.1 (avoiding 10.2 until the kindle thing is fixed).
Thanks again, huge huge help!
(DON'T FORMAT /bootdata !! Important stuff!)

Could you help me too? I made the same mistake (formatted bootdata)

[Q] Bricked HD not plus(hummingbird)

so after about two weeks after moving i found my nook and went to charge it it boots up and is really sluggish but it boots into 10.2.1 cm i believe never updated farther but anyways so i reboot its doing the same so at this point im stumped so i figured i would reboot into recovery and just wipe the system clean i only hit wipe and factory reset like normal nothing else and installed 10.2.1 and then gapps as normal i go to reboot its stuck in a boot loop now i cant get it to boot wont mount external sd card the nook isnt recognized by my pc well atleast doesnt install drivers just says bn nook hd unless i make it take adb drivers in which case it shows me adb devices 0123456789abcdef in recovery i cant connect it wont allow me and i cant sideload i get error but i can still boot into cwm and it says at the bottom no file contents i can flash other recoverys which i have onmy internal sd card but it doesnt boot past cyanoboot screen which it does dim and go past that screen but it just stays blank so im kinda lost sorry for the lack of punctuation.

You are not bricked. You are in a recovery bootloop. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per item 1a. Then use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset. That will take you out of your recovery bootloop.
If you respond further, please use punctuation. It is very difficult to read your first post.
