Had been running 1/18 great for about a week, I hadn't used the tablet today up until right now when I got home but when I tried to wake it from sleep I found turned off. When I turned it back on it showed the normal nook logo but suddenly a bar started loading underneath it and once it finished it started the stock B&N rom.
The only notable thing I can remember doing yesterday before I stopped using it was formatting my 32GB microSD.
I have no issues with re-installing the rom and I might even install nightly but I want to know what might have caused this.

Obviously it tried to boot itself 8 times in a row and failed, triggering a reset to stock.

Oh, I guess I learned something new today.
I also found out that my internal SD was wiped, does that also happen if it fails to boot 8 times?

Hi Guys,
Recently my phone started acting up with periodic reboots but now it seems that every few minutes the phone will reboot. I tried a few different roms and have experienced the same thing. I have also tried reformatting the SD card as well as the partitions but the same thing occurs.
The only time the phone doesnt reboot is when it is being charged. Does this mean my battery is damaged? I went ahead and placed an order for a new battery, but I was curious if a damaged battery could cause the constant reboots?
It could be hardware or software issues. So, you need to tell us what you have done recently to your N1 and which rom, recovery, radio.....you are using. Did you try to go back to stock rom?
Have you tried pulling a log cat?

I have been using Rod's Miui rom for the past few weeks without problems. The problems started a few days ago and have gotten progressively worse, so I tried a few other roms (Miui-Au, Formel's Miui, and Cyanogen 6) but experienced the same thing.
I have reformatted and repartition my SD card as well. I am using the 5.12.00.08 radio with RA's latest recovery.
Log cat?

Ok so I just downloaded alogcat. How do I read or interpret this?

I just installed the latest nightly on this nook color .... rebooted....and it is dead....the back light won't even come on.
It's acting like the battery is dead but I have had it on the charger for the last 5 hours and still no luck.
I know there is a threat about nook stuck at a black screen but I am assuming that black screen at least has a backlight....I am getting nothing.
Sounds like u wiped ur boot. I could be wrong but try this:

hey everyone!
my phone went a little crazy by randomly shutting off while using cm10 so I decided to restore to a stock non-root nandroid I made around 8 months ago. Everything went well up until the point I rebooted: I unwittingly had set up a text lockscreen password that I had since then forgotten (who remembers passwords from 8 months ago?!). So I went in CWM, did a factory data reset and rebooted. I turned off the screen and turned it back on to BAM! the lockscreen again... And the fracked up thing is that there isnt even a "forgot password" gmail confirmation option thing at the bottom so I'm completely locked out of my phone! Is there anything I can do other than buy that $4 screen lock bypass exploitation app??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe try another factory reset (sucks I know) and this time after boot go into security settings and turn off the screen lock before your screen turns off. If you just try and change the password you'll be prompted for the old one first. That being said, I haven't used stock in so long I can't promise this will work either.
Those random reboots you got with CM10 were common with older versions and the other variants such as Pacman, Slimbean, etc, but the latest one I haven't had that happen and I've been using it a week. I only say this because stock is just makes this phone crawl IMO.

Haha, thanks, not an absolute fix but at least it works. Kinda strange since I read that CWM factory resets wipes out everything including lockscreen passes... And my phone wasn't rebooting, it would just shut off randomly, battery would drain at horrifying speeds (from 99% to 0 after a 7 minute phone call) (I also had the latest ver). I was thinking that I could maybe restore stock rom and send it back to samsung or provider since its still under warranty
EDIT: I'm gonna try Samsung Remote Screen Unlock and see if that works. Plus I just checked my battery: It's as swollen as Rosie O'donnell at Mandarin, which explains the crappy battery life.

If you're rooted you can remove gesture.key using adb shell but I forget where exactly it is. Google it

Hate to hear that and you're not the only one to mention swollen batteries around here lately either. Good luck to you!

yeah... can't root, need this phone to be as stock as can be if I'm to get it replaced (or at least the battery). Btw, Is there a way to possibly remove CWM in case they check recovery?
PS: Totally irrelevant but I keep reading about a CM10.1 rom for this phone; I've searched far and wide but I can't seem to find it! Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Yes the easiest way to get rid of cwm is to flash the stock file. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G there are, i believe two methods, one using Odin the other flashing something in recovery. Just read. As for cm10.1 camcory is working on it so is smartguy. Even i compiled it but it doesn't boot all the way. Check insomniaforums.org that is probably where it will be posted

CM10.1 boots fine and runs smooth but not yet ready for release. There is a few broken items in it I believe if I recall but cannot restore it due to limited battery till I get home to verify what was wrong. Be patient and when ready public will know about it.

Bluetooth and camera dont work. I'm saying my own personal build doesn't boot yet but I'm trying some stuff. Right now I'm working on aokp 4.1.2 to get that fixed all the way, mainly because i like aokp and I'm stuck on 4.2.2

Got nook hd+ yesterday. Immediately got CM10 on it. Everything was working great for a few hours. All of a sudden it started rebooting it self randomly, but I kept using it. Then it happened more frequently. Then it rebooted to the Cm boot screen and never left there. Kept looping. So I turned it off and rebooted. No success. Tried again. Nothing. Then I got mad and let it loop for like an hour. Came back and nothing happened so I turned it off.
Next morning I wake up and it boots fine but this time in nrmal nook mode like when I turned it on the first time. It even had to update the nook software again. I am just using the standard nook mode now and have some questions.
1. How did that happen?
2. Is all my info still on here somewhere? Like the login to gmail, evernote, instagram etc?
3. If yes, how do I get that stuff off?
Thanks

The HD+ has a self repair utility built in that will reset itself to stock if it fails to boot 8 times in a row. That is what happened to you. It put stock back along with wiping all your data. So your personal stuff is gone.
I don't know why your CM10.1 quit in the first place, but now that you are back to stock, you can start over.

Ah.
Thanks for the info. Didn't realize it could fix itself.

Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble with my NOOK HD+ 32GB. I bought it in Octorber 2013. I keep it original (exactly the same as when I bought it), I did nothing with it (root, install mod, bla bla bla, ... I didn't try because I didn't have time to get to know it.).
And the problem come up today, at 4 p.m, I read my book and everything seem to be normal. I just press the power button to lock the screen and go out. When I got back at 10 p.m, I try to press the power button so many times but the screen's still black, so I hold the power button for 10 seconds or more, it turn on to the "NOOK logo" and black screen again. I keep trying to press the button (to turn it on), sometimes it can go to the loading % screen, sometimes it go to the "register" screen like the first time I register it, seem like my data has been deleted,or de-register, and I dont know why , ... also look like it lost the power so it turn off whenever it want .
When I leave it in my table, dont do anything with it, it keep turn on and off randomly and now it's totally black.
I'm sorry because my english is not good so I made some mistake in this thread, please forgive me, I'm just a student and I'm trying to improve my english skill.
Please give me some advices.
Thank you for all your help.
Obviously what happened is the device reset itself. The Nook HD/HD+ has a safety system where if it fails to boot successfully 8 times in a row it will reset. That means it wipes all your data and reinstalls the original software that came with the device. That is why it is asking for you to register again.
What caused the problem could be anything, a bad app you installed, or just a glitch when writing something to itself. It may never happen again or it may be a hardware issue, including with your external SD if you have one.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. But is there any way that I can fix it at home ? or I should bring it to the store ? I didn't put any external SD in it so I think maybe it's a hardware issue

I suggest you keep using it after you register again. If it happens again take it back to the store for a warranty exchange.

Actually, it's black again now, it turned off when I was registering again, so I didn't finish it
