[Q] Possibly hard bricked? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so i was gonna install a custom rom on my nook HD+ one of the steps was to delete system, data, and cache which i did.
After doing so i realized that adb was not recognizing the nook so i couldnt push what i needed to to get the install going and basically at this point, im stuck in a cwm recovery bootloop and cant seem to get anywhere.. i dont have a backup and was wondering if there was any way i could possibly get my nook booting again even if it means restoring to stock entirely (which i cant seem to find anything about)
as a side note, if i dont hold the power and n button on boot, it just sticks on the cyanoboot screen untill i hard shutdown and reboot holding them, then it loads the cyanoboot recovery or whatever
any help is much appreciated, ive searched and searched and cant seem to find any relevant information on the subject and nothing ive tried seems to help me get it running again...
edit: fixed it! shout out to leapinlar for this thread with stock roms

[Q] Think I screwed up?

Ok so I have an unlocked Nexus One that I rooted when I first got the phone 6 months ago. I've been running CM6 no problems at all, everything has been great.
Heres where my problem starts I decided to flash the stock frf91 image onto the phone and did not check superuser permissions or whatever option they gave me before i did it. I was doing this because I thought I was selling my phone. Now I'm not and want to go back to CM6.
The problem is I cant get into recovery at all I get the error with the ! in a triangle with android standing next to it. I've searched everywhere and tried everything. Fastboot and ADB gives me errors like waiting for device (even though my drivers are up to date and it recognizes the phone?) or status failed too many links.
I tried doing a backup from my nandroid information through my nandroid backups on my computer (aka pulling system.img etc) I tried going through the terminal but Im getting denied superuser permissions.
Im just not sure where to go from here ive looked through so many articles and threads and posts and im very confused.
After I flashed the stock image I thought i would still be able to boot into recovery but i guess i dont have recovery? I try to flash the recovery but with no avail.
Anyone have any advice or even just somewhere to start I would really appreciate it. Thanks
When u flashed the stock rom it wasnt a rooted version so u have the stock recovery search for how to root the stock Rom once rooted u can put a custom recovery on there hope this helps
The procedures for the different handsets kind of blur together in my memory, so just want to check.
When you booted into recovery and got the "!" screen with the android did you try holding either the volume up, or volume down key <along with the power button> to bring up the menu?
The ! With the Android is the stock recovery image if I remember correctly if u press the power button the menu should pop up

Nook Color won't boot

My NC wont boot no matter what I do. When I connect it to my pc (windows xp) I get an RNDIS ethernet gadget in the new hardware notifications. The nook was rooted but I did a hard reboot before finishing the setup because it wouldn't connect to my google account. The NC wont even show the "touch the future of reading screen" and I cant get adb to find the device. I rooted when I had freshly wiped everything and downgraded to 1.0.0 then I upgraded to 1.0.1 then I rooted. It worked fine until after the hard reset.
HELP!!!!
FIX!
I'm sorry for the double post, but I want to make this clearly visible when someone else has this problem.
So, all you have to do to get it to boot is try to put the device into recovery mode. It won't actually go into recovery mode though, it will just boot into the regular os.
Clockwork Mod Recovery
I can't go into recovery. I have Clockworkmod installed.
bumpity bump,
Im back to this issue seems my fix up there wasn't right. I did a FULL wipe on the nook (/system, /data) and then proceeded to update and root. after rooting I rebooted the nook with the autonooter sd card still inserted and then the device wouldnt boot. I tried removing the sd card and still no luck. adb doesn't find it but it is detected as a "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget" under windows. Is there a way for me to boot the nook?\
EDIT:
got it to boot by mashing the power button and putting nookie froyo inside :/ im not sure why but thats probably how I got it last time too.
Clockwork...did the same thing

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Folks,
I've done the same thing. I backed up with Clockwork to the SD. The Nook would only boot into Clockwork. So, I recovered and now the device will not power up at all. I fear that I have bricked a wonderful device that I spent alot of time on. It will not boot at all, will not respond to the power button at all and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I screwed?
FG.
I have the same problem with Motitas and it was updated to 1.1 recently. Please help.
the screen stops to nook icon only. does it mean i have a brick now ? PLEASE Help.
Please read my threa a few threads down from this one, titled "dummies guide to my nook wont boot." it explains everything.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S 4g Boot Loop without CWM

Ok, I am new to these forms and kind of a noob android user so please make it as simple as possible.
So, I rooted my phone but i never have messed with roms or kernels or anything (mostly because i dont understand them) so everything is stock (gingerbread 2.6 i believe). I was following an online guide to change the boot animation via root explorer and now my phone only shows the word "android" with the shine going through it. The weird thing is, I can turn on the phone and get to the homescreen, but I am not able to see anything except the boot screen. For example, when i turn it on, I am able to turn it off by pressing power then blindly searching for the turn off button on-screen.
I have searched long and hard for a solution, but they were all caused by uploading a CWM roms that went bad, but I didnt do that. I did have it at one point just to backup my rom because everyone said that it was important. So I do have a CWM backup, but no CWM app on my phone. I am able to get to recovery mode.
Please help thanks.

Stuck in "nook" bootup screen loop (Nook HD+).

I've searched and searched in the forums, but can't find the correct procedural steps to fix this issue.
While attempting to install LN14.1 internally on my Nook HD+, I somehow screwed everything up and now it just repeatedly flashes the "nook" screen and doesn't continue on to the Cyanogen bootloader screen (or anything else for that matter). I've tried to boot to SD, but have been unsuccessful.
Every 2 seconds, the screen goes black, flashes the initial "nook" screen, then does it all over again. I've watched it go on for better than 15 minutes and nothing else happens. I eventually have to hold down the power button and the home button just to shut it down.
I really just need to find the correct procedure for getting back on-track. If I've screwed up the emmc, how do I start from scratch and at least get back to stock?
Can somebody please point me in the right direction? Can you link the thread that addresses this issue? I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks.
I have this problem too, only that I'm stuck at the TWRP recovery screen
You should search for the stock nook proprietary software. You should get a bootable sdcard recovery, install the stock software, let it factory reset, then reboot from sdcard recovery and install twrp 3.0.1 (I found newer versions **** up the internal emmc structure). Then flash whatever rom you want, or alternatively boot from the new recovery and restore a backup

Getting old Nook HD+ updated and stable?

So I dug my old Nook HD+ out of storage and got it charged and booting just fine. It's running some old nightly build of CM13, but it insanely laggy and hard to use, like 10+ seconds just to open settings slow. As such, I want to flash a more recent rom, probably a Nougat based one. However I remember there were some oddities to this device, but I can't recall for sure what they were, and new guides seem to be for setting up from stock. So I just want to make sure I don't brick my device. Can anyone provide some guidance on what to do? Below is the situation
Nook HD+ running buggy CM13, refuses to boot into recovery, tried using home or volume up key and power button to no avail. I don't remember if I just used SD bootable recoveries before or not, I don't think I did, but at one point I think that was the only option.
I'm guessing I need to wipe my SD card and make it a bootable recovery. Can I just flash a recovery to EMMC from there and then flash a new rom? Is it possible my device needed some other steps to allow custom recovery on the emmc or something?
Also why do some guides say to hold the home button "n" key and power to boot into recovery and some say volume up and power? Is there not a universal standard way to boot into recovery for this device?
Sorry if I sound like a total noob, but I haven't done any custom romming or rooting in forever and don't even know if this device ever got an unlocked bootloader or if we just have some weird workaround for it to make things work, but I'd like to find a quick and easy way to get it working after work today if possible. Thanks for all your time and help and any recommendations.
