I have a Nook Tablet 8GB that wont boot, just hangs on the 'N' logo.
I have been going though every suggested nook tablet "bricked" and "dead" forum post i can find. most are for the 16gb model.
I can get the CWM_NT to boot from external SD card, but it hangs at the "tapped box" logo.
I can get the cyan boot loader to work, and i try to load CWM "recovery.img" and the TWRP "altboot.img" from SD card, and they seem to load, but the screen gets all pixel filled and hangs, wont boot into any recovery from the SD card.
I was unable to get ADB to load in windows, and im not sure how to get that working in ubuntu.
Im looking for help to get the stock nook software working on the internal SD. I may need to reformat the internal partitions, and im willing to try everything.
anyone who can help me, and any questions i can answer for you please let me know i could really use your help.

I suggest using an SDC boot instead of internal ROM, especially if you don't know what you're doing.
Head over to goo.im for succulent builds. Download the SDC image for cm10. Once you flash use whatever SDC ROM you want.
Thanks for the fast reply, i have tried that method, and the parted fix it recommends. but i cant seem to get ether to work. I flash my sd card with the repart.img and boot my nook tablet 8gb, but it wont do anything. i leave it alone for 20-30 minutes on a the N logo, that software install message never shows up.
i have android sdk installed, and try to adb push parted command as well, and it fails with device not found. i have the nook showing up as "acclaim" in device manager.
still bricked.

@jbrennan: as @datallboy suggested you should try to burn and run Succulent CM10.0 image (cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC-img posted at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/) off SD card. If that does not boot successfully your NT is likely hosed hardware-wise, but if it does you can try the next step of recovering internal ROM.
Thanks again for the fast replies.
I can get the nook tablet 8GB to boot the SD card, and when i let it "boot" SDC normal, or pick recovery SDC, i get a screen that hangs like this picture i took attached.
is it hosed? or fixable?

That might be hardware related. The older versions of cyanoboot make a similar screen when booting anything. It only happens for a second then boots into the ROM or recovery.
It might not be able to boot into anything is all. So if it is hardware related I can't help much.
Could it be the partition table? i read that if that's damaged nothing will boot. is there a way to fix the partition table if SD card wont boot recovery?

Well if your boot data partition is damaged then it might not boot. Adam outlet total reflash might have helped it, but for some reason it only works on 16 GB tablet.
I don't know of any ways you could essentially rebuild your boot data partition. Maybe another me member might be able to help though.

Hey Guys,
I just got my 16gb NT during ebay's $199 sale. I'm having a serious problem getting the thing to boot off of an SD card. It came stock with 1.4.1, but I think something's different because I've tried:
Restoring back to 1.4.0 with the acclaim_update.zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190
And the NT root SD card
Nook Tablet Root SD Cards
No mater what I do, I can't get it to boot off of the SD card via the zip or into CWM, all I get are factory reset screens instead of CWM. I've tried 3 different SD cards.
I'm going to give this a shot next:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910
I don't know if it's going to work, so any help would be greatly appreciated. What's stopping my NT from booting off of the SD?!
why go back to 1.4.0 you don't need to. use indirect method using his image writer tool supplied if your on windows it sounds like you are not formatting the sd card

I've tried formatting the cards both using windows and the NT internal tool. I've also tried writing the image file both directly to the SD and to the SD mounted in the nook.
I'll try indirect's method first.
I wanted to go to 1.4.0 to snowball.
It is my understanding that BN made a change in the new 8 gig NT that somehow prevents booting from the sdcard. Check other threads. No one so far has been able to boot from sdcard. Making some changes in Indirect's setup may solve it so I read on one of the threads. good luck.

Doesn't work. Formatted through the nook, connected through the nook, wrote the image through the nook, etc. Went to go boot up (power+n, screen on/off, eject/reinsert card, power on) - all I got was a factory reset option instead of CWM.
Something is amiss.

That change is the bootloader locking up because it's the wrong bootloader.

Again, this is a 16gb nook tablet, not an 8gb. It looks like, very very briefly, I may be getting something other than the factory reset screen - I see what looks like the start of the nook bootup animation, then a green arrow that flashes quickly, before I get the factory reset screen.
I bought the NT from the Ebay sale last week as well. Have you heard of anyone else having issues booting off the SD card?
I was planning to book the NT tomorrow. Sounds like I might be returning mine if that doesn't work...

Try turning it off completely, inserting the SD card, and plugging it into your computer.

so to clarify things. you put the acclaim update zip on the sd card. and did you let it reset your nook to 1.4.0 or not? Also you don't have the acclaim update zip on your memory card when you are trying to boot off the sd card do you?
It did not try to reset it. It didn't do anything other than boot normally.
I know it sees SD cards because i can look at files, but it did not boot from it.
ok. wipe your sd card. put on ONLY the acclaim update zip. nothing else. stick that in your nook then turn it off. (in that order) then when it powers back on, let it update your nook
once it's updated, turn your wifi off and check what version you are on. then delete the acclaim update zip from your sd card and report back. KEEP IN MIND. it's NOT "booting off the sd" for this. it's just resetting the software to 1.4.0. if you think it's supposed to boot off a sd for this, think again. expect to see something along the lines of a factory update. that's what it's supposed to do whenever the acclaim update zip is on your sd card.

Yeah, you're not affected by it. Your problem is operator error. They can't change hard-coded IROM with a firmware update.
I don't know what I did but I finally got acclaim to wipe me back to 1.4.0.
I had 3 different SD's formatted in various ways through the pc, through the tablet, etc. Each time it was ONLY acclaim on there. 158th time's the charm, I guess.
Now to tackle the apk parse errors while trying to sideload stuff.
Parse errors are caused by selecting the first button option just once when installing an app and then the second option button which is the only one you should ever select will give you parse error as well. If you do a search on parse errors you will see it.

I was having issues with my SD card not booting last night during my CM7 install. After checking my work in Gparted I knew it was OK. Finally I unzipped the files into the upper root and it booted. I know I had it boot with the zip before but this time I could not get it to work?

Finally got CWM using the APK. This is a f!cking nightmare. I swear this thing is messing with me.
I have a nook tablet 8gb, I can still boot cm7 from sd card so the thing isn't a total brick.
I started with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553 and that worked great but i still didn't like the nook menus and stuff so i decided to try cm7. I put it on the only sd card I had at the time for a test, an 8gb type 2. It worked great except for a bit laggy. I bought a 32 gig type 10, a little quicker but still lagged a bit. Also the 32 gig wouldn't boot unless i was usb tethered.
So I decided to try to put cm7 internal. I tried about a dozen times to get cwm to boot off a sd card but it never seemed to go for it so i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458630. But that doesn't seem to work on my nook I had the same problem as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23636087
I tried the method they posted in their thread (writing the cyanoboot recovery_512.img to /dev/block/mmcblk0p3. This seemed to boot in to a working cwm. I tried to burn the cm7 internal to the ram, but once i did it would still always boot to the cyanboot (no menu) strait in to cwm so I couldn't actully use it. At this point I decided that the 16g has much better support and i should just trade it in on the 14 day thing so i tried to return it to stock. I tried to burn the modified zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23483625&postcount=4
after that i tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23384587&postcount=77 which also did not work, (it showed the box then turned off)
So my internal is probably all messed up by now, but I can still use the external sd boot if nothing else)
Any help would be appreciated.
Use Adam's unbrick total wipe for 8GB Noot Tablet. You will need another sdcard if you don't want to lose the setup of your actual sdcard running CM7.. well you could create an image of your entire sdcard but you will need ubuntu, adb bla bla bla so better get another one.
~ Veronica
I tried the unbrick image it didn't seem to work. It shows the box and then nothing.
I'll try it again.
Also kind of curious why one sd card would boot fine while the other one would require the power cable to boot.
Tried it again, same result. Boot up on the sd card. I see the box, then blank screen, wait 30 mins reboot without sd card and just get a black screen.

Can you boot into CWM that is your last chance, i can give you the link for the 8GB partition images so you can flash them while in CWM but as i said you will need ubuntu installed in a virtual machine and adb.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23016403&postcount=1
I don't know which partition of the 8GB NT model is "rom" so if someone could post the output of:
~# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
Once we know that you have to copy the image to the root of your sdcard
the code to flash the partition image will be:
~$ cd ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
~$ ./adb devices
(Make sure your device gets recognized)
~$ ./adb shell
~# dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0pX of=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX
* Where X is the number of the rom partition
* The images that Celtic posted don't end with .img but hopefully works that is fixable.
~ Veronica
partly solved with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562130
Made sd card from image and then put the nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip from b&n as factory.zip into the recovery folder
boot from sd card, hold n then select alternate boot, wait a few minutes till green check mark appears
Still doesn't boot without sd card.
Booting from sd card to cyanoboot, and selecting boot from emmc boots to nook setup, but hangs when trying to enable wi-fi
also still doesn't boot with no sd card
If I read corrcectly, you didn't successfully put on cm7? Depending on whereit failed, your original factory reset may still be intact. If you havent tried already, With the system off and no sd,Press power and quickly (while holding power)also press the n button. This should bring you to the option for factory reset. When you get there, is that option there at all? Because if not, firmware is probably too corrupted to change from the device itself, and youll probably have to change via data connection from computer.
no go on the factory reset option.
Why dont you try the UNBRICK method i posted

Rats... so much of that. You've just got to love all that confusion.
Back in December I attempted to update my Nook Tablet to a new build from CM. Something in the process went wrong, and left me without a bootable device. Soon after I packed to move cross country and the unit has been in a box since. I recently got it out to try and fix it but am having a difficult time understanding what happened to it. My assumption is that the internal memory is jacked in some way.
Currently, the unit WILL NOT boot with an SD Card in the slot. The screen stays black. If I remove the SD Card, it will boot.
The unit WILL boot into recovery, but will not write a new rom, always leaves me with a failed write message. (I have to insert & mount the SD Card AFTER I get it booted)
----------------
I am looking for suggestions on which direction to head to next. I have seen one members' video tutorials regarding formatting with ADB. The last time I used it was soon after the Droid X was released but I feel ok in performing the steps.
Is that the route I should take? Am I missing some other step in troubleshooting?
TIA.

I appreciate the time you took to reply. However, I have tried creating a bootable SD card already. The tablet simply will not boot with a card in the physical slot, either with a bootable card, or without. If a card is in the slot, the tablet will present a black screen tricking you into thinking it is dead, or otherwise fubar'd. Hence my dilemma on how to proceed.

I have already done something similar with another build. Doesn't matter what type of SD card I put in the tablet, empty, formatted, bootable, etc... as long as an SD card is in the slot, the tablet will not go anywhere past a blank, black screen. I can however boot the tablet into recovery without an SD card, then mount it within in recovery, and attempt to write a new rom but it always errors out.
Once your NT goes blank/black, if you just leave it alone for say 3-5 min, does it eventually boot to internal recovery?

Unfortunately no. Originally, when I got it back it out to fix it, I went for a week thinking the thing was dead. After a few aha moments, thats when I figured out having a card in the slot would keep the screen black.

My NT would typically try to boot off SD if it finds first partition to be bootable and containing the requisite boot files MLO and u-boot.bin, and if these files are corrupted its screen would stay blank/dark for ~3-5 min then it would boot off emmc. Otherwise, if the first partition is not bootable or does not contain MLO & u-boot.bin, the NT would boot straight off emmc.
I assume that you already tried different SD cards with same results?

FWIW, this link http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project provides an overview of the NT OMAP processor boot process.
Sounds like there might be a problem with your NT SD card reader, as a blind shot maybe you can try blowing compressed air into the empty card slot.

When I get it booted into recovery, I am able to insert a card and mount it. If I attempt to install a rom at then end of the installation it fails with a write error. So I believe the card slot is good.
Now Booting
After some trial and error, the nearest I can figure is that there is something wrong with the SD->MicroSD adapter I was using. I discovered that both MicroSD cards I had been using were not properly mounting on my phone. I happened to have a new 16gb card in my desk and used that. I was finally able to boot it from the SD card in 4.2.2 - from there, since something was obviously wrong with the partitions on the EMMC, I wrote it back to 1.4.2 stock.
Am now working on get it re-rooted, with 4.2.2.RC5 written to the EMMC.
The two Micro cards I had been using had only ever been used with one adapter. I tried reformatting the cards, to no avail. The 16gb card was reporting a single partition of 9.22gb and the 8gb was reporting 3.54gb on a single partition. Never seen anything like it.
I appreciate all the suggestions and the fresh links given to me for the boot images and such. Thank you very much.

I'd suggest you try using a combination of MiniTool and SDformatter (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/) with the option Full (Overwrite) to delete the existing partition and reformat the entire card.
Ok. I have the cm-10.1 from June installed internal on the nook. It boots wonderfully and everything seems to work except for that when you reboot or shutdown and turn on it won't do anything unless there is a formatted boot ready cm versioned sdcard installed. I unfortunately have no idea where to start. It seems that everyone who has sdcard problems is usually when they have one inserted.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you might be booting and running CM off SD all along ...
Does the Cyanoboot screen say it's loading internal boot or SDC boot when you boot/reboot with the SD card in?

I hold down the N and choose int boot to use the internal disk... so it is using the internal disk...
I guess to describe the issue further would be to explain that there is not even an "N" logo when pushing the power button and the screen backlight doesn't come on until I have inserted the sd card with cyanoboot installed... Could this be an issue with how the internal partitions are formatted - and or missing info? I looked at the "About" screen in Jellybean and it doesn't know my serial # and a few other things and searching around, I found out there are some files on one of the partitions that are supposed to contain these, but I haven't found them...
Any more ideas?
I'd suggest you try re-installing CM10.1 internally using the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123.
OK. So, it was terribly messed up... possibly from a bad partition experience earlier in its life (it was bricked when I obtained it...) Anyway, so I followed the page at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24995518&postcount=1
This got my partitions formatted again correctly. I then also used adb to copy in the partition 5 files from the succulent github
https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard/blob/CM7/README.md
(in the flash_restore_stock.zip file).
Then I followed your link to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123
and flashed those files...

First thanks for taking time to read my post. How I got in my position, cant tell ya . I should of done more research but to tell you the truth I was in love with my crazy cool Nook Tablet running JB and I got careless. Adams Ubuntu sd card it would load a lit black screen and no more left it overnight, nothing .Megd repart .img I would get the red X as soon as it popped up. I never created did the windows version when I tried parted I never got the error just some messed up version of what used to be a partition I had use of adb when in cwm recovery no serial # just 00 Icant mount anything followed Veronicas threads got Ubuntu on virtual box I would be able to do some steps and then I would not be able to load something like sdcard . I thought I had gotten lucky when I found the recovery .img with the tools already loaded. By The way THANK YOU soooo much for taking the time to make cool @SS stuff and let us play!! well I tried loading scripts to sdcard mounts and what not was not getting any thing out of my sdcard. I did the steps were you erase the partitions then remake everything my partitions looked sweet when I reboot nothing sdcard has the partitions and I ast thing I did was used the step to erase that was a few weeks ago I had given up on it .then as a long shot decided to pm Veronica and ask for some help. started trying stuff again loaded cyanoboot from there loaded twrp for some reason I lost my adb I cant load drivers but I can LOad some .img files from cyanoboot so my partitions and mounts are gone adb not working (but I can fix that )I have a sixteen gb nook tablet 1.4.3 rooted with nook and zergy. Is their a rom that I can load from cyanoboots boot menu that will fix everything. wishful thinking
look what i found
I don't know if this helps but I did a cwm back up brfore getting bricked and then I copied my sdcard to my gf's pc I forgot all about it she pointed it out

If you erased (without first backing up) the 2 partitions /rom and /factory then you have wiped out your NT's factory-installed individual device data (MAC address, security encryption keys, serial no., etc.) without which the NT will not function. The backup made using CWM only covers the 4 partitions /boot, /recovery, /system, and /data, so you won't be able to restore this data using CWM backup. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more info.
So trash it.?

Any way I appreciate you getting back to me if its trashed its my fault for not asking for help before I was trying to use what the devs had in the forum and not be the noob that gets told to do a better search. lol. Hopefully I will get some good news. If not well thank all of you
If you have an SD card on hand I'd suggest that you first burn a SD image of Succulent's CM10.1 (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/) or CM10.2 (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/) and see if your NT would boot and run CM off SD card.
If it does boot and run off SD then the device data is probably intact and you can proceed to flash stock or CM internally (or simply just continue to run CM off SD).
If it doesn't I'd suggest you contact @AdamOutler for help with restoring a copy of romdata.zip to your NT's /factory partition.

ok the only thing I have been able to get to work have been recoveries. tried to boot Cm 10.2 sdcard you recommended the sd card did not boot so I used one that loads up CYANOBOOT went into boot menu took that sd card out put in the rom sd go into boot. My nook tablet's screen went black lit internally. Is it loading rom? or am I SOL?
When you boot up the CM10 SDcard it should boot into Cyanoboot which in turn should load SD CM10 ROM (and should indicate that it's "loading SDC ..."), then the screen should black out for up to about 3 min before boot-animation (counter-rotating CM circles) appears.
If Cyanoboot does not appear then the SD card is not bootable (see Notes section of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1 for some potential causes). Also you might have to boot the NT from its power off by inserting a powered USB cable.
If Cyanoboot loads SDC ROM but the screen goes dark for over 5 min then the CM10 boot has failed.
Tried and tried no luck
Thank you for your time
