Rooted NC won't restart

I did a manual shutdown because I couldn't kill some goofy NES rom app. Now it won't reboot. Do I have to replace the SD card with the imaged one every time I want to restart this thing?

No... Sounds like you medded something up when you manually rebooted, though. Oh well, just restore to factory and reroot and you should be fine Id bet...

Crapcrapcrap. I think I broke it.
I tried to do the factory reset as you suggested but it wouldn't do ANYTHING. I did some more searching and finally got it to work by holding power button plus volume up plus home button and then holding power button. But it went to the future of reading screen and then the Nook screen and wouldn't do anything. More searching told me to reset it 8 times and on the 9th it would completely restore factory, so I tried that.
It seemed to have worked but then went into ANDROID boot/initialize sequence and was repeating that over and over and over. Seems weird that it would boot Android after a complete reset, but I digress....
I thought maybe it was because the imaged card was not in, so I inserted that into the slot. Same thing....repeat over and over Android boot up sequence.
I powered it down manually and it seemed dead again - not booting back up by traditional means. I tried holding different buttons, whatever...FINALLY got it to the future of reading screen again. Proceeded to boot up - Android sequence....you guessed it, on repeat. No card in now. Crap!
Please help! Newbie here not sure what to do!

your case is similar to what I experienced yesterday. I took out my memory card, and did factory reset and 8-time reset trick. On the 9th it installed a fresh rom (1.0.0), and booted successfully afterwards.

Thanks for the response jerry. Something is definitely jacked here.
I did the 8-time reset again....Got the message it was installing a software update, the future of reading screen, etc.....and then it went into the freaking Android boot sequence on repeat again. Why is it booting up Android instead of 1.0.0?
No memory card here, either. I am totally flustered.
I would really appreciate any help that anyone out there can provide. Did I brick this thing?

Update. I powered it down from the Android reboot cycle and then followed the instructions here to perform another factor reset. Somehow this time it worked. It rebooted with 1.0.0 and made me go through the setup steps again.
I think I'm going to upgrade to 1.0.1 this time before rooting....I was having some bugs and somehow it culminated in the above debacle. Hopefully it is smooth sailing from here.

Something is still messed up here and I'm not sure what's going on.
As mentioned above, I finally got the thing to reset, clear, and boot back up with 1.0.0....or at least so I thought.
I had only ordered one book and it was present on the reboot - not sure if that is significant or not. At any rate, my initial plan was to update to 1.0.1 like I mentioned since I seemed to have issues/bugginess before w/ 1.0.0. I downloaded the .zip file to my desktop, copied it over exactly as instructed and the thing never rebooted with the update. I waited and waited. I put it to sleep and waited. I woke it up. I tried to navigate to it. Nothing.
Ok, perhaps another fluke. From what I've read the update is unimportant anyway. So I tried to root again with auto-nooter on 1.0.0. Followed steps again to a T. Even re-downloaded all of the files to my computer just to eliminate issues. Put my card in, plugged it into my laptop....never found any drivers. CN stayed off. Tried to boot it up manually - nothing. Tried to reset it manually w/ Power + home + volume up. Nothing.
Finally I removed the SD card and booted it up and it worked. During initialization I quickly put my card into the slot and it booted Android successfully....much like the first time I rooted it.
It is working...but not like it is supposed to. I'm wary to go down this path again considering the trouble I eventually encountered last time. Should I start over? What the hell did I do wrong?

[q] help. I fu*ked it.

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.

That's why it won't boot you selected format boot. You need to go to the thread that says restore to stock. Try one of these threads.

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.
I don't mean to be harsh, just some friendly advice, that's all.

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.

Nook color won't turn on, won't boot sd card

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!
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

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.

Locked up on "Touch the Future of Reading"

Search is broken so I'm having trouble figuring out what to do. I rooted it a while back, then updated to 1.1 using info from a thread here, and it had been fine. Today the battery was dead when I went to use it, so I plugged it in. When I checked it later, it was locked. I can power it off, but every time I turn it on it goes into the same state. I held the nook button while turning it on and the same thing happened. I plugged it in to my PC, but adb doesn't see the device.

I made a bootable Clockwork SD card and wiped the data and cache, but it's still locked up.

You need to follow my guide. Its called dummies guide to my nook wont boot. Its somewhere in the first page or two of the general forum. Your gonna have to reflash stock. Or do the 8 failed boots to get back to stock.have you tried that? It should work. If not just go through all the steps of my guide and you'll be up and running in an hour tops.

How do I reset my nook hd+ back to before I rooted it?

leapinlar: Ask the question on the forum. I don't like using PMs.
Recently the update allowing google play store somehow bypassed the anti-update thing on my nook, so now I can use play store on the nook home, but the update removed my root but kept the android system home.. It uses a lot of ram, which i'd rather have free to play games or other resource heavy apps on.
I know I have to get my nook to start unsuccessfully 8 times, but I don't know how I go about doing that, can I get some help?

If you want to do it the easy way, just interrupt the boot by turning it completely off (hold power button for a few seconds) while booting eight times in a row. It will take you back to some version of stock, usually 2.0.0 or 2.0.4 then upgrade again to 2.1.0 when you register again.

After my HD+ locked up when I created a "Guest" ("child") profile and I had to do the 8-reboot process, after upgrading to B&N v2.1.0, I experimented with alternate button combinations at power-on. If I held the "n" button when pressing "power", I got a prompt that allowed me to do a factory reset.
Whether that is part of a later B&N recovery module, I can't say.

That factory reset just wipes data, it does not reinstall the ROM. He probably needs to reinstall the ROM since some of the broken symlinks may still be in /system.
Power + n takes you to stock recovery, which, without other parameters being passed to it, asks if you want to factory reset.

I'd like to return my Nook HD+ to stock, too. It has a Cyanogen mod that precedes that startup, and I think that's getting in the way of the 'eight reset' mechanism for a total factory reset to stock software.
Is there a bootloader, system, and gapps zip that I could just flash from an external SD card that would do the job? Seems like there was, at one time, but it's getting very difficult to find them. Any ideas for a quick factory reset (not a wipe, but a complete reset to original OS?).

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from item 6 there and follow that with a factory reset by CWM.
And it was not the cyanoboot that prevents the 8 reset, it is because when you originally installed CM you also replaced the stock recovery on internal memory with CWM. Stock recovery is needed for the 8 reset to work.

Maybe I should also add that the device is charging without turning on except if there is a proper bootable sd inserted.
I presume a rescue bootable SD of OEM type could bring the device back to life.

Maybe Bricked is the situation. The device is charging (the green light is present when plugged to the charger or USB ) but the power button can no longer start any visible boot process on the screen.
The story of the device is nearly the following:
I was using the device for a long time rooted with installed CM updating even with over night builds from time to time.
Once I had a problem booting properly after update but easily booted to TWRP and restored the previouse update.
A week ago the same situation occured, after an update procedure I left the device plugged to the wall charger and on the morning it was stuck on the CYANOGEN universal boot logo. No way found to boot to recovery found.
I figured the recovery has gone bad. Started to prepare bootable SD to try and fox the mess somehow, but could not do the corect procedure of preparing a good bootable SD many times. The only time I successfuly booted CWM recovery from SD I tried to install a zip with CWM recovery and as far as I remember at that time the bootable recovery was able to mount another SD wile it was booted on the device and the zip installed with success according to the software. Sadly after a restart the device was as is, stuck on the bootloader logo.
After 2-3 times successfuly booting both CWM and TWRP recoveries from prepared SD card, doing nothing at all that can alter the device, just tried to see how to mount any usable memory, the device stopped visualy booting without an SD.
Thank you for the reply, hope you can add some wisdome to the happy end

It sounds like it is bricked. If recovery said it installed successfully and it still will not boot normally, it is usually what that means. By bricking, I mean internal memory has become read only and nothing can successfully be written to it even if it said it was successful. Your probable only option is to use a noemmc version of SD CM. Search the dev forum for that term.
