Several times, I tried (and failed) at installing CM on my Nook HD. It went through all of the motions of installing the ROM (no errors, nothing), but when I rebooted, it went straight back to stock with "Hi, welcome to your NOOK."
I thought maybe my version of CWM was too old. I finally found a newer version (6.0.4.9, I think). I flashed TWRP first and then tried to flash CM. This time it crashed in the middle of the installation! Now, it won't boot at all. It just shows the Nook logo, then goes to the Cyanoboot screen, then goes black, then back to Cyanoboot, and so on. It won't boot from the SD card, either. I tried holding N and power to get into TWRP, which was allegedly installed, but that doesn't work, either.
Every web page that I could find discussing the issue of bootloops says, "First, boot into recovery..."
So, what do I do if I can't boot into recovery? Or is there a way I haven't tried yet?
Okay, I was able to restore. I inserted a bootable SD card and held down the N key and the power button. It takes a few times to get it right. So, now I'm back to stock.

On 1.0.1 I rooted using autonooter.. then I installed clockwordmod 3.0.0.5 selecting "nook old".. then I tried to boot into recovery and it keeps going to the page that says "touch the future of reading" with the logo, shutting off, turning on and going back to that page.. and so on..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Update]
- Tried to run the solutions listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
- Doesn't Work. Nook just turns on to "touch the future of reading" screen, shuts off, and turns back on to that page.. and continuously does that.. Tried to do a factory reset and the 8 restarts..
Any advice? Thinking of trying to bring it in to B&N to return. Would they know it was rooted? I can't even get past that screen

There should be a repair file on this forum. Did you by any chance, ever "format boot"? If so, this might be the culprit, as it removes the ability to enter CWR because the boot sector is modified.
It's worth a shot...
hey, thanks for your reply!
I don't think I ever did format boot.. i don't even know what that is.. hehe
Ever figure this out? I really don't want to go back to stock. I didn't format boot either.
Never mind - found it elsewhere. You have to use cwr-removal.zip and remove the recovery. It happens if you flash the recovery and then immediately go into recovery mode before rebooting.
I decided to switch my roms around. So i made a backup of my original rom. Then when i attempted to load my rom my phone shows the logo and restarts twice and just takes me into home. i attempted to use clockwormods manual option into recovery and it gives me the same problem. then i tried hold x and powering on my phone to attempt to get it to work. No dice. Any suggestions would be lovley!
I recently tried to upgrade to the newest ARHD rom. After going through the AROMA installation menus and finally reaching the actual installation, I momentarily paid attention to something else, and when I came back to the phone, it went mysteriously back to the ClockworkMod Recovery menu (no installation completed confirmation). I then ran Rom Cleaner as I usually do, rebooted, and now I'm stuck in a loop. I have been able to do power down+volume to HBOOT but that's about it. I can't do the factory reset. I can't get into recovery. It would show "Entering Recovery...", the ClockworkMod recovery menu appears for a brief millisecond, and then it reboots into a loop again. I tried to reboot and it automatically tries to go into recovery, again shows clockworkmod menu for a brief millisecond and then boot loop. I tried using Hasoon2000's HTC One All-In-One Toolkit and it is able to check CID. What should I do?
Fixed! I flashed TWRP and was able to reinstall ARHD normally. Whew.
Hi everyone.
I've android 6 stock (xt1068), and today i woke up and it doesn't work
I try to install the twrp and then to flash rom, ecc, but after that i install the twrp succesfully, when i go in the recovery i see that there is no twrp but the main stock recovery. This thing basically appens with everything that i install/wipe, infact the bootloader tells me that my action worked, but it didn't.
Another thing is that if i let my phone boot up, after the boot animation it tells me 'Starting Android', then this text go out, and for a second the boot animation appears again, after that all the screen goes black. (The phone is not closed, but it is showing black in the screen, i think you got it)
Thank you
Here's the deal, I have a sprout8 device (the Indonesian Nexian Journey One) running stock 6.0 with some xposed mods installed on it. Suddenly the device shuts down and when I try to boot it up it only goes halfway through the bootanimation when it shuts down again. I wasn't too worried as I thought it was just a conflicting system issue and I also thought it was time to re-flash fresh stock 6.0 to freshen up my phone anyway. So I went ahead and did it.
Here's where the problems start to show up, I had a hard time booting to recovery through the power + volume up combination. The phone suddenly shuts down on its own as it boots up. I tried it a few times and finally got to recovery. After that, as I flashed stock 6.0 the phone shut down again. I thought it was an issue with my recovery so I tried wiping everything through fastboot and re-flashed recovery through fastboot aswell. From there I tried again to flash stock 6.0 through recovery and again, the phone shut down. I tried a different ROM thinking it was a ROM issue but still got the same results.
After hours of trying to flash a ROM through recovery (retrying over and over as it suddenly shut down while flashing), I finally got a ROM installed. Then I rebooted my phone, but again it freezes halfway through the bootanimation (literally freezing the bootanimation) and refused to do anything. I took off the battery and booted up the phone countless tries trying to get it to boot up. When it finally booted up, I filled in all the Google startup credentials and finally got started on a fresh stock 6.0. However, I tried to restore my previous application data through Android's application recovery on startup but everytime the device installs a new application it would freeze up and shut down. This happened countless times. Then the phone, once again, shut down and could not start the ROM. It would freeze up on the bootanimation.
Then things started to get weird, when the phone turns on it should show the "Nexian" logo in all its glory before going to bootanimation. But here the screen gets all distorted and shows these weird horizontal (and sometimes vertical) lines. Nothing's wrong with my phone screen so I assume it is a system error. From here on, the phone refused to boot. It just shows the Nexian logo and restarts over and over. The same thing happens even after I re-flashed both my recovery and ROM. I even tried using SP Flash Tool to re-flash stock but still the same results.
Now, the device wouldn't even turn on. But when I connect it using USB to a Windows computer, it still gets detected through device manager as an ordinary MediaTek device.
I'm assuming now that it may be a problem with the /system parition where we install our ROMs in. The partition may be (partially) corrupt. Seeing as the device could still boot the ROM a few hours ago but freezing upon updates to the stated partition.
If you guys have any other ideas/solutions I'm all ears.
