Okay everyone. I am seriously freaked out right now.
My HD+ was working just fine the other day and today, I try the wake the device and nothing comes up.
Hard reset and nothing came up. Assumed that battery ran out. Plugged it in.
That charge symbol came up and I assumed that it was charging.
But after a while, the device still didn't boot up so I unplugged it and tried to boot it up.
Instead of seeing the Nook logo, I saw a weird artifiact/square thing in the center. Cyanboot didn't even come on.
I really am lost right now. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance.

So I was playing angry birds on my nook color. things froze up, and i powered down. Well...now i cant power it on (screen remains black) and therefore cannot get my reset count to 8 and cannot wipe.
I was on 1.0.0 and used the original autonooter
My micro sd is not in the slot when i attempt to power the device.
any ideas? sorta freakin out here...
Have you tried booting by plugging it into the power adapter?
If it only boots when plugged in you might be able to get someone to dd a nook color image and you can restore from that...
Otherwise im outta ideas, and a return might be the only option.

EDIT: try downloading the nookie froyo and see if it'll boot that off the sd... if so someone might make a bootable sd" installer" froma dd-ed image.
Does the three button (power, vol up, n button) boot go to a black screen as well?
Details on that and other steps you can try to recover can be found at: http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor#Fixing_problems
I hope you get it figured out! I was going to root this weekend, but chickened out after seeing soo many problems on here, and a couple of bricked nooks!
I had the same issue last night.
Do the three-button push to wipe /data/ and you'll be set.
Power adapter was the first thing i tried...didnt do anything
as for the three button push, that didnt work either.
Guys, i think i have a genuine brick here
I've only seen one real brick (which actually could have been fixed, but wasn't worth the trouble), and that was caused by a corrupted boot partition.
I don't have the knowledge to really troubleshoot your problem, but I'd be VERY surprised if yours is actually bricked.
I took it back today. they didnt inspect it and just asked if it was defective. I just said i put it on the charger and when i came back it was unresponsive.

For future reference, I got mine to this state too, and the power adapter is what got me to actually boot. That's actually plugged into an outlet, not USB, by the way.
I just picked up a NC today, got home,unboxed it and put on the charger as per the instructions. The light went right to green so figured it might be fully charged. I tried to turn it on and nothing happens. So I then left on the charger for 4 hours and tried again and nothing. I also tried power +n and still nothing. So I'm guessing its doa and was curious if anyone has had this experience or heard of this happening before.

Might be a silly question but did you press and hold the power on switch until you see the screen flash?
Sometimes you have to hold it for at least 5-6 seconds. It varies.

Yup silly question lol. I did alot of Googling when it wouldn't boot. I tried all methods of powering on and resetting. I think it might have been a bad battery since it went straight to green when plugged in for the first time.
I returned it this morning and as soon as I plugged in the new nc it booted. Now I'm off to search for rooting methods. Thanks!

Congrats on your NC and getting one that works. May I suggest you look into flashing CM7 rather than rooting? It has many advantages over stock or stock rooted. It can also be run from an SD card if you still want to root the stock OS or just leave it alone entirely.
Check out the other thread here asking about rooting vs. CM7 for more details.
For some reason my xperia T won't boot up anymore. Its very strange and the second time it happened.
Previous time, after some tries with holding to volume keys while holding the power key, eventually it boot up again, but this time, it
just flashes red. Which means that it is empty. So I plug in the power cable and the red light stops flashing for a second and just turns solid red.
But then it turns off again.
Don't know what to do now. Pc companion obviously doesn't recognize the device since its off.
Last time that I actually fixed the problem, the touchscreen wouldn't work anymore, so I reflashed a very old firmware.
Then it worked again, so I installed the latest cyanogenmod, and had no problems for a few days.
I do think its a firmware issue. I think it actually has to do with the apollo app, or atleast the headphone plug being in use while the phone charges.
I was listening music while the phone was recharging, yesterday, and in the morning this happened. Last time the exact same situation.
Any Ideas? Not planning on spending money right now :fingers-crossed:
Leave it on charge for a long time and then try the hard reset.
okay. I'll try that. Already tried hard resetting few times now.

Didn't help. Left it recharging for hours, but when I try to boot it, it just gives me a red light that blinks 3 times. Maybe it is the battery or the usb,
but its still weird. Sudden death? Hard resetting still won't work..

I said a long time....
Lots of people leave it for 24 hours
I absolutelly do not recomend my solution untill everything else failed.
So here it goes:
When my phone was totally unresponssive (soft and hard boot reset failed), i dissasembled the phone and disconnected the battery and what solved my problem. I didn't know it was possible until i did it myself and this is the only reason i'm telling you: it's the very last thing but it's an option!

hmm, I want to try this. I just can't figure out how to open it. I saw a dissasembly vid on youtube, but when I get the first screw out, I can't seem to snap it open.. Im getting a bit desperate. Already went to the store, and they want to charge 45 euro's for a new battery+dissasembly.
Best way is to find the plastic tool it is shown in the video. But i had none so it takes some gentle force starting from the top left and then right to the key point that is the corner . It has to snap a little. Any metallic tools will damage the plastic and will leave traces. The tool might be replaced with a guitar feather if a friend of yours has one

with the battery not connected? Wow...
If you are in a bootloop I suggest you have the wrong kernel
Just flash a stock ftf in flashtool
Okay, I'll try to keep this short. I had a Motorola Atrix HD for a while and one day I tried to flash CM10 on it. (I didn't really know what I was doing to be honest.) I rooted it, and while trying to unlock the bootloader something went wrong. Also the phone was due for an update. So one day the phone automatically shut itself down (I assumed to install the update) But then it didn't completely shut down, it showed the screen shown in the image below.
(I think that's how the story went, it happened a long time ago I don't remember it much.) I can hold the power button and turn the phone on. It stays on for about a minute, then shuts itself down and shows that screen again. Is there anyway to stop this? I don't use the phone anymore so it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to have. Any suggestions helps, thanks. Also I'm new to XDA and I don't really know how stuff works around here. I apologize if I did something wrong.

[problem fixed] turns out plug wasn't going in far enough so I took cover off the part that goes in nook and then plugged it up and amber light staying on is charging thank God:laugh:
Thank you for following up with the outcome! I wish more people would do this, just in case someone in the future has the same problem.
