Has anyone experienced their nook will shut off where the only way to restart is to power it back on?
I am running miui.us if it matters.

Yes, it is called Sleep of Death (SOD). It happens when you have wifi set to stay on when the screen turns off. After a while the system will go into deep sleep (as it's supposed to do) but if you have wifi set to also stay on, sometimes it will not wake up. There are workarounds to prevent this, but they are usually not very satisfactory if you want wifi on. Search the forums for discussions on SOD. It affects all newer versions of CM7 including miui.us.
I have this too, also running miui.us. My solution was to set the Nook to never sleep. I tap the power button when I'm done, the screen goes blank, I tap the Nook button or power button to use it again and it pops up in a second. Wifi quickly connects and I'm in business.
I have an almost new Nook HD running CM10.1-20130810-Nightly-hummingbird in EMMC (just updated today).
Most of the time, it won't wake up from sleep unless I repeatedly press the power button from 10 to 20 times.
Other times it wakes up immediately when pressing either the Nook button or the power button.
Once it wakes up, everything works perfectly. This is the only problem I have.
It had the same problem with both 20130624-Unofficial and 20130719-Unofficial.
Anyone have any ideas????

Do you have a cover on it? Maybe one with a magnet in it?

Nope... no cover... I use a BookArmor case that doesn't have any magnets in it.
I have the same exact problem. I use a case with a magnet cover. Running CM 0810.

Then open the cover twice and it will be ok.

Is there anything I can do to fix this without a cover????

The magnetic cover issue is actually on HD+'s. I have heard of no one having your issue with an HD. Sounds like you have a defective power button. Did you have this issue on stock?

I have the HD and I have the same problem. I took off my cover/case and still experience these sleep issues. Yes, opening the cover twice is a workaround but it does not fix it.

I don't remember this happening when it was stock... but it was only stock for about two days before I broke down and installed CM10 to EMMC.
There's at least two of us out there with HD's with this problem.
I doubt its the power button as I can see the LCD flash on and off when I repeated push on the button to wake the HD.
The backlight goes on and off with black screen and without a lock screen.
Also the Nook button should wake it up but fails the same way.
Sometimes, when I remember, a long press on either the Nook or the power button will wake the unit up more often, even that fails a lot of the time.
I suppose I can flash it back to stock and see what happens....... sigh
I don't mean to get off track here, but I'm wondering about the magnetic cover issue.
I have an HD+ and a magnetic cover. I don't have any lockscreen set. On the stock ROM, it worked just fine. But, as mentioned in this post, I have to open the cover twice for my Nook to turn on.
It doesn't always take two times. Sometimes, if I set the Nook down and pick it up a couple minutes later, opening the cover once will turn it back on. Does anyone know why it's doing this?
Let me add something strange to this problem:
I can click the power button three times fast then hold it down......
.... and the Nook will wake up 98% of the time!!
Sometimes, I have to do it two or three times, but it always works!!

Mine does all the things in this thread, too. The open cover twice fix works for me, so that'll do as a fix for now. But here's another I found:
I can click the power button quickly twice, holding it in the second time. This brings up the shutdown menu. If I then touch the 'back' screen button, the screen stays on.
Hoping this might help someone who doesn't have a magnetic cover.
My HD running 10.1.3 does this from time to time. I have a Poetic case which I believe has a magnet in the cover. When it doesn't come on, if I push the Nook or the power button, the screen comes on and quickly goes out again. It may do this several times before it finally stays on. I'll have to try the techniques mentioned here.

My HD+ is running cm11, most of time, the wake up by opening the cover works perfectly, occasionarily, I need to open twice, didn't have other wake up issues.
My new HD is experiencing the same problem. I'm on the stable 10.1 cyanodgen hummingbird release. I would sometimes have to press the power buttons on the side or front repeatedly to wake it up. Before I had the "slide to unlock" lock-screen on but after I unlocked the screen..swipe to unlock..it would go back to the lockscreen, it would do this over and over until it eventually unlocks it. So I thought it was a lockscreen issue with the rom so I took off the "lock-screen". I would think the problem is gone but the screen just comes on for a split second and then turns off every now and then. You would have to use the home button or power button to turn on the tablet. It is annoying.
I just bought a Nook HD on ebay with a Poetic cover with magnet.
Mine does the same thing on stock 2.2.1, both before and after rooting, whether opening the cover or, with the cover already open, pushing the Nook button.
I don't think it ever takes more than three tries to wake it up, though.
Glad to find out that this problem isn't unique to my unit, at least.
Sorry to post to a 3-year-old thread.
Hi all,
We got our Nook HD+ on Wednesday. I was intending to root it and install CM 10.1 but haven't even got that far before problems have started. I thought I'd post this just in case anyone else had the same problem. When the problem first started, it still should have had plenty of charge left. I had been using it to read a book and play a game earlier in the day. I turned it off after use; now it won't boot back up again. The backlight seems to come on for a few seconds but then goes off. Holding Power and 'n' does nothing except turn the backlight on as previously mentioned.
We have not modded this device in anyway, neither is there a micro-SD card in the device. It is now fully charged but still presenting the same issue.
If anyone has come across this before, or knows another way to do a hard reset, please let me know.
Thanks, Peter
Let it charging for a while then try what you did again.

Did you try holding the power button for like 15 seconds, releasing and then briefly hold the power button? If you hold it too long, it turns itself back off.
If you tried that and are sure it is charged and it does not turn on, it is a hardware issue and it is time for a warranty exchange at the B&N store.

Had a similar issue the first time... Power it on... Plug the charger, leave it with the screen looking like this and wait 20 minutes. Reboot and check if it boots properly. If not, try rebooting by holding the power button and the volume buttons simultaneously...

Thanks. I went on the Nook UK support chat and they couldn't instruct me to get it started again. It's been returned and hopefully our replacement will be on the way soon. Possible hardware fault was the suggestion.
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.
I have been using my nook HD+ on CM10.1, 10.2 and 11 for a few months with no problems. Then recently I got a weird problem. After some investigating and testing I can consistently replicate it as follows:
Leave it idle at 12:00pm.
Screen goes off at 12:01pm. (normal, because set to 1 min)
Now if I touch the screen or press the 'n' button or press the power button at 12:02 or 12:03, the screen comes back on, which is normal behavior.
However if I touch the screen or press the 'n' button or press the power button at 12:11 or about 10 mins after screen off, nothing happens, the screen does not turn on. It feels like it has turned off, but I don't think so because I have to hold the power button for 5-10secs to "forced turn off" (no visual indication), let go then hold the power button again and it will boot up the nook like it was turned off.
I have assumed software error at first so I completely wiped the entire nook, including /system, /data, /0, reinstalled a fresh M6 or M8 along with pagapps, but get the same problem behavior on the fresh install.
I'm out of ideas and suspect a hardware fault of some kind that may not be fixable by me. Anyone has the same problem and found a fix?
Edit: additionally, the 10mins is not fixed. It could be 10 mins this time, 20mins at another time. Also if I plug in the charger at this point of time, the led is a steady green.
Edit: more googling yielded the term 'sleep of death' that have somewhat similar symptoms. Still no solution yet.
Do you have a case with a magnetic cover? If so the solution is to open the cover twice.

I don't know how to fix your problem, but it is caused by your device going into deep sleep. The device is designed to enter a very deep sleep mode after 10 to 15 minutes of inactivity. This is to save battery. For some reason your device is hard to wake up. You might try playing with some of your settings, like whether wifi stays on in sleep mode, etc to see if that helps. The HD+ does not suffer from SOD (Sleep of Death) like the Nook Color used to.

Wifi may not stay on in sleep mode anyway even when set to always on - though I've not noticed this problem since M8 on the nook hd+, my phone does still have it. Perhaps enabling it will help due to wakelock on the cpu (keeps the cpu in use during sleep).
Noticed at rare times in the past that the screen could take much longer time than normal to come back on. It could just be hard to wait long enough. Don't know how long you were waiting but I've done the same thing as well as waiting for it to finally turn on.
If your using a lockscreen, you could try disabling that completely. Sometimes, there are bugs there.
In case anyone else has my problem, my workaround is to install wake my android pro so that it remains in sleep and never goes into deep sleep.
