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):

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.
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 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+.

Have you tried booting while the USB power plug in?
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.

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.

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.

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.

Try getting into CWM by booting holding the power and n keys together for a few seconds, releasing the power button first followed by the n key. That should get you into the new CWM on internal memory. Then you can use that to factory reset to start CM11 fresh.
If that does not work, go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread and make a new bootable CWM SD. Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 of that thread followed by a factory reset with CWM. That lets you start over like it came out of the box.
The 8 failed boot procedure did not work because you had replaced the stock recovery with CWM.

Try using a different SD card if you can.
From what I've read, a 4GB Class4 card is the best. My 16GB will boot less than 1 in 20 times, but my 4GB boots 9 out of 10 times. Also, make sure you have marked the microSD partition as Active using a partition tool.
Fwiw, I got a class 4 sandisk 8gb card. Total noob to android. Booted first time and every time since. Only trouble I had was with win32diskimager. Not only did it not work, it hosed my windows 7 install. I used a program called sdimager instead.

That is the way these newer HD+'s are. They can be very hard to boot to SD. There is a whole thread that discusses that. See here:

I had the same issue today, just put cm11 on it and it worked fine, during charging it changed to cyanoboot loading image and it just stuck there. I can not boot to CMW.
any luck? did you recover yours?
Also stuck on cyanoboot screen
Hi all, very similar situation - my Nook HD+ is completely bricked too.
Been a happy user of CM11 on Nook HD+ for about 4 months. I used the guide here to install it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796
Then one morning it would not boot - only showing "Nook" screen when powered up. I tried to reinstall CM11 but with no luck.
I created a bootable SD card with emmc-cwm-early3.img using dd command (dd if=img file of=/dev/sdc bs=1MB). When inserted, Nook would power up and go to Cyanoboot screen and but it would hang there
I went through 3 different SD cards (all type 4) and they are all same
I One interesting thing - I found sdcard-cwm-early9.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572. When I create SD card from it, it actually boots up to CWM screen, and it lets me go through various backup/restore options. However, the image only creates about 120MB of free space in SD card and I cannot place any zip files in it.
The reason for bringing out the last point is that it does seem that my Nook HD+ would boot up from SD card, but not with emmc-cmw-early3.img.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I'm having a very similar problem to yours suite800, only I was running rooted stock when it happened. Same thing though, normal boot freezes at the first Nook screen.
I've tried a number of different bootable SD images on a few different cards and all of them freeze on a screen with only the cyanoboot logo visible, with the exception of sdcard-cwm-early9.img. That image gets me to a cyanoboot menu but I can't do anything from there, if I select "Boot CWM Recovery" it just hangs on the cyanoboot screen with a message "Loading recovery from SD..."
Hey guys,
My Nook had charging issues that has made my Nook go haywire. I am going to RMAing my Nook so I need to return it back to stock before I send it back in. The bad news is - I cannot find the original microSD that I did the back up on! UGH!
I now have the new replacement Nook and my old Nook. Is there a way I can do this? I can run out and purchase a new microSD but I cant seem to find anything regarding going back to stock. I did find: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/52331-removing-cyanogen-from-nook-color/ but I am not sure whether this will work for me.
Any help would be fantastic!
Thanks!
You may not need an SD. Boot to internal recovery to see what is there. You can either do it with the CM reboot menu or use the key combo. Hold power and n while booting for a few seconds. Release power before it turns itself off followed by releasing n. It should boot to recovery.
If it boots to stock recovery it is easy to get stock back. Just interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by powering off before boot completes. It should then reset to stock.
If it boots to CWM then go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and download the plain stock zip from item 6. Flash that followed by a factory reset.

Thanks so much Leapinlar! I was about to run through your CWM for dummies process to backup my replacement nook to restore to my old one! I just ran out to BestBuy to get another microSD to take of this!
So hopefully this all works well.
Thank you sir!
[EDIT]Thanks for the link to your stock ROM. It worked like a charm and now the unit is ready to go back![/EDIT]

Yeah microSD cards are cheap these days and they are so handy when flashing roms. I highly recommend keeping one around for any troubleshooting.
