[Q] Bricked my nook color... won't boot at all topic

Hello!

So, I had CM10 on my Nook Color and was resetting it back to stock and accidentally formatted /boot while trying to format /system in Clockwork Recovery.

My NC won't boot at all. I've tried putting Clockwork Recovery as well as TWRP on an SD Card with the stock nook images but can't even get the nook to boot to SD.

I highly doubt the battery is dead because it was above 80% when this first happened about an hour ago.

I've found some links on what to try but all the download links are old and dead.

What else can I do?
Any/all help is appreciated!

My main goal is to get back to stock 1.4.3

[Q] Help!! Have 16GB Nook Tablet and want to get Android OS without rooting....... topic

Hello everyone I am pretty much as noob as it gets when it comes to rooting, dual boot Roms and such. I have a BNTV250 16GB Nook Tablet and I would like to be able to use an 8GB MicroSD card to put the Android OS on so I can have Google Play store and access to all the free apps I love that just aren't available in stock Nook Tablet app store. I would prefer to not have to root as I am worried I would end up bricking, and I don't have the to spend to buy an N2A or AFN card. Is there someone that could point me to a guide on creating my own N2A card or same idea? Because I already have the MicroSD card and I know there are free programs out there to do it. Help please? Thank you for your patience with me and I apologize if I have missed a thread that explains this.

Unrooting a nook HD plus (hybrid root) topic

Yes I'm needing help on how to unroot my nook HD plus back to stock. I used the hybrid rooting method. The nook doesn't like to charge while its on. Seems to only charge while the nook is turned off. So I'm thinking it may be a software issues. Any suggestions or ideas would be great.

[Q] Should I buy a new Nook? topic

Now that the HD plus is on the older side and Samsung will be replacing the Nook, I'm trying to decide how to replace my wife's HD+. The screen is cracked and I am sending it in for a SquareTrade replacement.

Do I buy a used one on Swappa for less than 0?
Buy one on ebay knowing I can get another ST warranty, but probably pay a little more?
Buy a newer, better performing tablet?

Other thoughts? I am getting 0 from ST, so I'd like to not go much past that if possible. I know asus and samsung make good quality tablets, but there are so many to choose from.

As a side note, I wouldn't complain if anyone has any thoughts on backing up the data. It'snot rooted.

[Q] Nook Color, problems with moving it back to stock or CM 11. topic

I've spent hours at this now, and Im kind of wondering if my Nook Color is damaged in a way that it allows CWM to think it's written an image to the EMMC but it is actually failing to write anything.

I still have cyanoboot on the device, it still goes into Cyanogenmod boot screen and sits there indefinitely OR it reboots a couple times and gets stuck loading infinitely.


This is AFTER I have tried imaging it back to stock, CM 11, formatting it's partitions with the images on this site and various other things.

So either there is something common in all these tasks Im just blindly missing each time I try this and read/watch another tutorial that doesn't work out for me.....or something is wrong with my the Nook Color.

Can't even do the 8 failed reboots thing Im ASSUMING because the cyanoboot thing is there catching all the failed attempts.

Hadn't used the Nook Color in awhile because my wireless router died and it was kinda pointless to try to use it...now got a nice new router and the damn Nook is making me want to strangle it. So it was in some state other than stock, and I really don't remember if I was trying something new or if it worked fine when the router died at this point. I am just trying to get it to some point where it boots into some kinda of OS so I got some kind of baseline to start from at this point.

So ideas? I can get more specific if need be on what exactly I tried if it seems relevant, but I pretty much pulled the images and guides off the various posts referenced all over the net back to this forum. Hoping I missed something, going to be rather upset if this device is essentially dead since I haven't used it a whole lot since purchase..
