[Q] [Help] stuck at "loading"

I am running the flashable HC ver4 edition 2 on the emmc. I took the sd card out, and turned the power on. (stupid I know now, the NC looks to the sd card for a partition) It is now stuck, on a blank screen, except the word "Loading..." It won't shut off. I've tried holding the power button for a long time, with and without the "n" button. Any suggestions.

[Q] Nook Color Not Powering Up

I've been folowing the dev forum for quite some time and done all sorts of mods to my Nook Color. The other day though, I was going to flash the OC kernel for nookie but when I powered it off and went to power it back on, nothing happened. No screen flash, no boot animation, nothing. It seems like the power button just stopped working. I even went as far as to take the back cover off, disconnect the battery, and manually short out the leads for the power switch with no luck. I dont really want to send it in for support because Nookie and HC are still on there and I dont want them to tell me they cant do anything so I figured I'd ask for advice first. Any help is appreciated!

A good test is to try one of the bootable SD options just to see if your Nook will boot at all. If it boots from SD but not emmc, search the forums for how to reflash /boot.

[Q] [HELP] Frozen/Bricked Nook HD+

Hello guys, I am in need of some serious help, but please excuse me if I ask too many newbie questions.
I was running SlimROM on my Nook HD+ (I came back from running CM10.1>CarbonROM>SlimROM>CM10.1>SlimROM) and browsing the web late a couple of nights ago when the nook turned itself off. It rebooted itself and got stuck in the CM spinning logo for about 5 minutes. Since this had never happened to me before, i hard reset(held on the power button for long to force a restart) and now it is stuck on the Nook logo until the battery is fully drained. I tried rebooting it many times, while trying to force it into CWM recovery by pressing the vol down/vol down+home while turning it on. No effect, it just keeps showing the Nook logo.
So I brought out my SD card using which I had first installed CWM and CM upon receiving my new Nook HD+ and tried to boot from it. It starts up, shows the Nook logo, then goes on to Cynoboot Universal Bootloader logo for a few seconds, dims, then lights up again and gets stuck there. It then shuts down the Nook itself after a couple of minutes or so.
I brought this tablet with myself to Afghanistan, where I am currently stationed, so I cannot even go into a B&N store until my next R&R (not that I want to take an EMMC flashed Nook to B&N anyway). Please advise.
Am I going to have to buy a new tablet?
Thankyou very much in advance.

I thought the normal way to get to recovery is to power up with the nook button held down? - have you tried that?

Yes, i tried that first, then the vol down+power and then vol down+nook+power. I guess I was desperate, and searched everything remotely similar to the issue.

That is not the way to boot to recovery. You boot to recovery from power off by holding BOTH power and n for like 5-8 seconds, releasing power first followed a few seconds later by releasing n. But be careful how long you hold power, if you hold it too long it will power back off.

Yes sir, that's what I meant I tried. I have (successfully) force booted my way into recovery a couple of times before, but this time it is just stuck on the Nook logo (or cyanoboot logo if I power up with the CWM/CM SD inserted)

Wow. So many views on the post.
Guess the tablet is done for then.
Anyway, thankyou devs of CWM, CM and other ROMs who made my short journey with my first Android so very informative.
Would love to come back here when I buy my new tablet. I think it will be the new Galaxy note 10.1. Or the Nexus 10.
'Till then.

I'm a real newbie to this stuff, so I may be talking rubbish and I'm not familiar with the ROM you were using, but is it possible you're emmc is damaged, for instance by trim. I know there are some people on the board running of special SDCard only roms, and some talk of possible ways to recover damaged emmc.
The reason I say this is it seems stuff is working up to a point, I think even the normal bootable SDCards and recovery partition probably try to mount some things from the emmc, and I wonder if this is where it's freezing up.

[SOLVED] Total black screen in CWM - display issue

Hi guys.
My NOOK HD+ is suffering of black screen. It seems to be able to boot into CWM, but the screen just stays black, when I try to boot from SD card. The NOOK itself won't show the "NOOK" boot logo, and stays with black screen forever. I know, that the display is not broken, since the LCD turns on, but remains black - the light is dimming during the boot into CWM, when pushing the "n"-button.
I am able to use the buttons to navigate, but I can't see anything trying to navigate to fix it.
I have followed the steps provided and created a bootable SD card (Sandisk 8GB HC) with CWM (NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip) (All worked with CM10.1 previously)
Then installed cwm-recovery-ovation-3.zip, cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-ovation.zip (CM10.2!!) and gapps.
Can anyone help me. If someone could provide screenshots of the CWM 6.0.2.8 menu (full) for NOOK HD+, this would be nice, to navigate in CWM without screen. I did somehow fixed this previously, but don't know how, since I can't see the screen.

I think you lack battery.
Try to turn the nook on (u get the black screen) and let it charge for 5 hours.
Eventually it will start by itself or you have to restart it manually.
Then you should be able to boot into CWM or whatever you wish to do

Did not fix the problem, but I did solved the issue...
It seems, that the display has a loose connection, and when flexing in the upper left and lower right corners, the display come on and off. I have not twisted the edges by force, but a small grip only can cause it.
So a faulty unit, rather than CWM issue. Thanks for the suggestions you gave me. :good:

[Q] Nook HD+ won't boot

Hi all,
I bought a Nook HD+ around a year ago, and installed CM11 and CWM recovery on it. Everything worked fine until coming back from a trip in June, when I noticed that the power button required several tries to power on the device. I thought nothing of it until I came home and found that it wouldn't turn on at all, having tried all the button combinations and power cycles suggested in these forums. Now here's the strange part: I believe the internal eMMC may be corrupted because a) there's no battery icon when plugging it in. and b) when trying to turn it on, the screen is clearly on for a couple of seconds. It turns grayish and I can see the edges of backlighting, but there's nothing on it. Also, it won't boot from microSD or show anything on the screen at all. So, I have two questions: 1) What is the cause of this problem, e.g. broken screen or bad memory, and 2) What can I do to fix this? The tablet is just out of warranty, but I do live relatively close to a B&N store.
Thanks in advance,
