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):
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.
Hi all,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out as I am seemingly in a bad situation. I received my Nook 2 days ago and rooted and tried out a few different ROMS to get a feel for the choices. In any case, for some reason my Nook no longer appears to be booting anything from internal memory. Any ROM I have tried (stock included) has failed to boot, but I can get the Nook to load CWR with the memory card in. When I say failed to boot, I mean a black screen. Like no response from the device at all.
Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, I really dont know what else to do or what the problem is.
Thanks,
Michaelangelo

Get the nook restore to stock zip and the boot restore zip. Flash those both back to it. Also, make sure you are wiping, System, then Data, then Boot beforehand. And wipe both Dalvik and cache. Nook Color is nearly impossible to hard-brick (in the sense of being unable to recover from it).

This happens because the boot partition is corrupt. This is usually the result of you formatting the SD card with CM7. Due to a bug, when you try to format the SD card, it will wipe out the boot partion as well. Just restore the boot partion and you will be OK.

Is there a way to do that when the screen is not working?
An automated install or do we just push buttons as per the same task on another nook and hope
Okay, so I understand that the problem is that CM7 changed around the boot partition files, that makes sense as that was the last thing I could get running on internal memory. When I was flashing HC v4 to EMMC I also flashed a boot repair, and that still did not work. I cannot seem to find a boot repair file for stock, where do I get that.
Sorry for the noob questions, and I am definitely trying to use search the forums for answers before i ask these questions!
We have life!!! I found a stock boot restore file and it turned out to work, I am back to stock again. Man this is sure a learning experience. I have been flashing my Evo for a while now, but the nook is a different beast all together.
Thanks for your help all, I think I am good from here on out!

You get a microSD card with CWR and the both .zip files for the stock 1.1 and the boot partion, then pick install .zip from SD card and flash both files. When done, take out the microSD card and your NC should be able to boot normally...

How do you know it's booting into CWR on the SD if the screen is not working?
If your screen is not working when booting from a SD card, then.. maybe there is something wrong with your nook???

If I boot nooter 0.2 then the USB plug goes green which apparently indicates booting. Oh and OMAP3630 shows up for a second on booting too.
Thing is I didn't do anything to break the screen and there is no physical damage to the unit. so it's just weird

I thought I had the same issue because of the screen being blank. That said it is highly unlikely your hardware ( ie screen ) is bad. I was able to get mine working correctly last night doing what is mentioned above. However to get it to work right booting into CWR via a bootable sdcard I had to make a new bootable sdcard from the one I had. Not sure if something was corrupted on the card I was trying to use or what. But as soon as I made a new bootable sdcard and put it in the device and powered on it boot right up to CWR off the sdcard like I needed so I could fix it. So my suggestion if you can is take a totally different sdard fro the one you have been using and make a new bootable sdcard and give it a shot.
BTW with no card in the device hold the power key down for about 20 secs to make sure it is fully powered off. Even tho your screen is blank does NOT mean it is fully powered off as I learned real fast last night when I tried working on mine. I thought it was off from the night before but it must not have been because I put a bootable HC sdcard in it and when I plugged it in I got a msg saying battery to low to power on plz try again in 15 mins. About 10 mins later I came back and it was finally powering itself on and booting into HC off the sdcard. So I let it fully charge and then start playing with it to finally get it back up and running again.
I flash my NC with CM7.0, now everything seems working fine, but I found there are sometime(not always) it stuck at boot animation, after touch the future of reading, it just stuck there.
this happens alot when I turn it off for long time, I am not sure what is the problem seems it doesn't happen every time.
I am having the same problem, but noticed that if i take the SD card out the NC starts normally. so i am figuring somthing is left on there from the install that is causing the hang up.... or maybe it is something else and i am too naive to realize what it is. Any help would be appreciated.
Using CM7.0 stable.
I tried to install CM7 on my nook color and i didnt follow the proper method and instead saved the CM7 file to the root of my sd card and installed the zip through clockworkrecovery without wiping or cache and now im stuck at the android boot screen. It isnt the CM7 skateboard android boot but rather the plain android root boot screen. If anyone could help it would be helpful thank you! IM crying right now about it

Hold power+n for 10 seconds to turn off
Clockwork bootable sd card, wipe system/data/cache (not boot), install cm7 from zip, install gapps from zip.
This is for a clean fresh install.
I made the same mistake yesterday going from stock nook to cm7 on nook #3 (so used to flashing nightlies on the other 2 i forgot to wipe system first)
I just got a Nook HD+ yesterday, with firmware 2.0.6. I really want to get it work on CM10.
I have tried both the Original SD method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38153094#post38153094
and the Hybrid HD method as found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38153094#post38153094.
I used WinImage to write the image to SD card (Sandisk, class 4, 32 GB). Everything seems to work fine.
However, my Nook HD+ never boots from SDcard.
I also tried the stock root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613, but nothing happens.
It still doesn't boot into CMW mode.
PLEASE HELP!! (
I personally do not like using WinImage. I like win32diskimager. And you need to use an external USB card reader rather than any built into your PC. And run the program in administrator mode and close all other windows apps. It sometimes is very difficult to get the SD burned so that it will boot in the Nook.

It took me a few days as well but I was successful today. The problem I was having was with an SDHC card that did not want to cooperate. What brand, size and class is the card you are using? Which method are you using to get CM10 running?
I used leapinlars Easy Install guide and tools for the original SD. I did not Root my device. I saved the Gaaps and CM10 images to the internal memory of the HD+. I used CWM that was part of the image that Leapinlars linked to in the guide to install them from there.

I am using Sandisk Class 4 32GB to operate. The first method I was trying was Original SD method, but it wasn't successful as my nook hd+ didn't boot into CMW mode. So, I wrote another image (Hybride SD) into my card, still didn't work though.
I also tried using Kingston class 4- 4GB, but the nook still failed to boot from SD. (
I have this problem all the time with my card, its such a pain in the ass. it eventually will boot into cwm, but sometimes i have to pop the sdcard in and 9 or 10 times booting into normal before eventually it clicks right and boots cwm properly. I have no idea why because the card is recognized when the system boots up to normal mode, but for some reason it just skips cwm 95% of the time.
My new device does this a lot. It is very hard to get it to boot from powered off (cold boot) at all with the card inserted. I have to remove the SD to even get it to turn on. Then I can get it to boot to stock. I have stock rooted so I installed Quick Boot and I tell it to reboot after I insert the SD. Since it is then performing a warm boot, it works. I do not have this issue with my old device.

Yes. But if yours boots to stock anyway, you don't have to do that. Just boot to stock and use quick boot to do a warm reboot.

For those having troubles booting into CM10 at the first try - booting into stock and restarting with Quick Boot should work every time, regardless of the SD card. Not ideal, but at least consistent.

Edit: The only other thing to try is to get ADB working on stock and go to advanced shell and issue the commanr reboot. Then it should warm boot to CWM. - nah, you have to be rooted for that to work too.

You need to get my stock CWM to boot at least once so you can flash root and play store. Then you can use quick boot to warm boot to CM10.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
I think I didn't flash root yet because I follow the Hybrid method from your instruction.
My nook hd+ went into CMW mode once, so I flash CM10, hybrid converter, and gapps.
I have already set Google Play store and downloaded some apps from it including Quick Boot.
At first try, I rebooted it from Quick Boot and it started with CM10. Then, I tried power off from Quick Boot and I instantly turned it on, it still turned on in CM10 mode.
The last time I customized something, I power it off from the nook button, and now when I turned it on it went into Nook mode. I turned of and on several times last night and it was still in Nook mode.
Then, I powered it on with power adapter plugged in (I owned Nook Tablet and knew that sometimes we need to plug in to get it booted into CM7); however, it doesn' t work for nook hd+. I got upset last night and decided to go to sleep. Before sleep I charged my nook with power adapter. My nook last night was still in nook mode while charging.
Surprisingly, I woke up this morning and saw that my nook was in CM10 mode.
Any idea why it is like this? I don't dare to power it off again.
If you can get to the Hybrid CWM, you can flash my root and gapps zips with that and they will get installed to stock because they are hard coded to do that. Then you can boot to stock and install quick boot and use that to warm boot to CM10.

Some devices just do not boot to SD well from a cold start. That is why I said to root stock and install Quick Boot since most devices will boot to SD from a warm start.
And to get to CWM from a warm start, once the cyanoboot logo comes on, hold the power and n key together for a few seconds and release (not too long or it will power off again). CWM should boot.

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.

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.

Thanks for the help!
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.

Thanks, that worked. I also tried the rooted version of stock, but it has a problem: "Unfortunately, Home has Stopped". Is there a workaround to this?

Don't use that version, I should remove it. If you want to root, do it per the thread with universal root rev 3.

Hi there,
I have a device that is also candidate for unrooting to stock. The thing is that I have tried both CWM and TWRP on bootable SD to try and fix the situation tith the apropriate zips but unfortunately none of them can mount sd ot any internal memory for me to reset.
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.
I`ll apreciate any help.

When you say a candidate for stock, why? Is there something else wrong with it? I am just trying to see if it is bricked.

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.

No, it is probably from running CM11. That has a history of bricking devices with the faulty emmc chip due to applying trim automatically.
