Following the instructions, I was able to allow unknown sources onto the nook hd+, it restarted fine and everything worked well.
I then used the universal root, the root worked but once I left it overnight to charge, it stayed at 38%.
As soon as its plugged back in, it turns back on.
Also, the boot shows the "cyan boot" logo, when it hadn't shown it before on the "unknown sources"
I did the reactivate/erase method and still having the issue.
The Cyanoboot logo is normal with universal root. Powering off is not normal. Try restoring to plain stock by using the plain stock zip from item 6 in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. Follow that with a factory reset with CWM. That should completely reset the device. See if that fixes your power issue. Then you can apply the unknown sources and root zips again.

Thank you for the prompt response, I have tried the plain stock and still had the same issue,
I will try the factory reset later on today.

I had tried the root stock first, factory reset, still power issues.
I then tried plain stock, the cyanoboot no longer appears,did factory reset and still continue to have power issues.
Note: Nook is brand new, I got the message: random offset 0x109 boot files boot files install from sdcard complete, and it only turns on when its plugged into any power source, wall charger, laptop ..

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.

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.

Please Help!
I also currently don't have an SD CARD. It looks like whoever rooted it just did everything on the main storage and not a SD
If you still have stock recovery on internal memory, you can do an 8 failed boot reset to take it back to stock. To do that, interrupt the boot 8 times in a row by hard powering off (hold power key for several seconds) as it boots. On the 9th boot let it continue and it should boot to stock recovery and reset itself. If it boots to CWM or TWRP recovery instead, you can use that to flash my plain stock zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and item 6 there.

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.

Yeah microSD cards are cheap these days and they are so handy when flashing roms. I highly recommend keeping one around for any troubleshooting.
Some background info first:
Nook HD
CM 11
CWM v6.0.4.6
When the problem occured, I was running this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572&page=100 on one of the earlier builds, the 1/9/2014 build.
In an attempt to hopefully fix it, (after doing a backup that nearly burnt out the device), I flashed the 6/3/2014 nightly build, which didn't change anything with the booting.
This problem started happening for seemingly no reason after a freeze. I held the power button until it shut off, and then tried to turn it back on. Instead of the normal boot to cyanogen mod, it takes me directly to CWM. If I leave it on CWM, the device starts getting alarmingly hot and the screen starts flashing rapidly. I haven't seen a way online to get it to boot back into CM. Any help would be appreciated.

Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM per item 6 (it needs to be the older version there instead of 6046). Use that to flash a plain stock zip from item 6 followed by a factory reset. That should fix your booting issue and you can start over.

Yes, you lose everything.
And it was not random. You said it froze. When that happened you glitched internal memory which might get fixed by my procedure. But it might not and you have a brick.

I accidentally completely wiped my Nook in recovery without installing any other rom, because cm 11 had a problem installing. And then I turned it off. It doesn't seem to turn on at all. However, I can connect it to my PC and it reads the OMAP4770. Any way I can bring this tablet back? Or is it gone?
Also, I have tried every reset option I've seen online, like power and/or home button for amounts of time. I believe that since I lost the system files it won't start up.
Why don't you just follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 and make yourself a sd recovery and take it from there?
Don't worry you are not lost
It won't boot at all, let alone into recovery. Of course I did try to boot into recovery since that's what I used to wipe it. Did not work.
I completely erased everything in the tablet's memory, including /system. I could be wrong but I think that's why it won't show up with anything when it turns on. No light or logo.
