This may well have been covered elsewhere, but I tried a quick search and couldn't find it, so figured I'd post anyway. Reseting the Nook Tablet by holding N while you power on forces it in to a reset mode. But, if you actually want to get back to a proper factory fresh unrooted state you easily can take advantage of the "X failed boots" which forces the Factory Restore mode. Start by powering down the Nook, then, this is how I did it:
1) Hold both volume buttons down
2) Press power
After a second or so the intial black screen with copyright info comes on. Keep holding all the buttons until the black copyright info goes off and it looks like it's powered down again.
Repeat at least 8 times.
If anybody knows an easier way please chime in.
the second one is the first time i saw
Quicker factory restore.
If you have root shell access:
At the device shell command line: echo -n '0000' >/bootdata/BootCnt
Unregister device (which will reboot and then do a full factory restore).
Actually, any 4-byte string value of ASCII characters will work, as the resultant value only has to be above a BINARY 8.

Fast Nook Tablet Restore
The fastest and easiest way to do a factory restore is under Settings, Device Info, Erase and Deregister Device. This will remove ALL files one has added and you will able to reregister your tablet.
Correction: Oops! Sorry, this is not correct. See following post.
bsavoy, We are talking about resetting the /system folder to factory (removing gApps, restoring bloatware, removing root, etc) All of those are in the system folder but don't go away when you do erase and deregister. That only wipes /data/

This work for me,
Turn off your NT.
Hold power button + volume up button + n button until your NT turn on and then off. It takes like a couple seconds.
Repeat 7 more times.
When you turn your NT on the 9th time (without holding other button), your NT will restored with factory software and removing root.

I turned off the nook, and turned it back one while holding down the 'N' button and power at the same time. Only have to do it once.

That method only clear the /data folder. You still have root.
The hard reset method clear both /data and /system folders, removing root. This method is for when you messed up your NT badly.
Bump because so many people still don't know how to do full factory restore.
When full factory restore is done properly, your NT will restore automatically. No pressing n button or asking you steps. Not to be confused with factory reset. Factory reset will prompt you to follow steps on screen.
Instruction from BN tech support
This is what I got when I chatted with a BN tech support. Copy-pasted verbatim.
Please follow the steps below to hard reset your NOOK Tablet. Please note that a hard reset de-registers your device as well as erases all local content such as contacts, sideloaded documents, personal information, 4 digit passcodes, etc. It is recommended that you backup any sideloaded material before continuing.
1. Hold the power button down for 10 seconds until the NOOK Tablet is powered off, ignoring the "Power off" prompt.
2. After Your NOOK Tablet is powered off, kindly press the home key and the power button until the "Read Forever" logo disappears. Once disappeared release the buttons immediately.
3. If successful, a grey NOOK Logo will appear and the screen will refresh momentarily and flash yellow. A prompt will appear asking if you would like to perform a “Factory Reset,” Tap the "NOOK Home key" to confirm. Tap the"Home key" again to begin the process.
4. After a few minutes your device will reset and re-install all necessary software. Once completed, you will have to register the device again.
Your eBooks, magazines, newspapers and applications are saved on your online library. You can download them again after registering the device. By the way, you need to have a Wi-Fi connection to register it again.

magic SD card doesn't work
I've tried the acclaim_update with 4GB, 8GB and 32FGB Sandisk microSD cards after unmounting and erasing them on the nook. Nothing happens. I've done factory restores with the Volume+Power button technique and the nook does reset but the system remains at 1.4.1. I've done it a bunch of times to no avail and now my nook is unrooted but I can't reroot it and block the upgrades from B&N. Anyone else having the same problem. And is there a fix for me?
---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------
Also tried the reset method above - power key for 10 sec, the power plus home buttons. Again a factory reset but when I've gone through the setup process, I still have 1.4.1.
I have the same problem as lessilb. I do a factory restore and I'm still at 1.4.1. I try the Acclaim method on a 16GB SANDISK microSD and it ignores the microSD. I had root before Christmas but now I'm stuck on 1.4.1 until I find a microSD that will work. My original understanding was that I should always be able to factory restore back to 1.4.0 but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I posted the [How-to] Quick Access to Nook Tablet's FACTORY RESET Screen for this type of issue. Following that guide will get you back to stock and the home key issue is explained as well.
Good luck.
I tried the 8 time reboot and when power on the 9 time it takes me CWM recovery mode. When I reboot NT now it takes me to n screen with read forever witha white background. I am stuck there forever. Can anyone help.

Backup your data, preferrably with titanium backup.
Go into CW recovery. Do a full backup. Then wipe cache, data, and dalvik cache (the third one is in the "advanced" menu). wipe all three again (not necessary, I've heard someone say that this helped. I don't usually do it, but it can't hurt).
Reboot.
If that doesn't fix it, connect your tablet and put a ROM on the root of your tablet (zip file). Disconnect and then do the above steps, but after you've wiped, install the ROM from zip. When it reboots (give it 20 minutes on first boot before messing with it), is the problem solved?
I'm having this problem too. I have completely wiped the memory on the tablet, and have tried many different roms, but nothing seems to help. Can someone please help me?

1. i didn't turn the nook tablet off. i went back to the home default launcher.
2. i hold down the power button first, after that i simultaneously hold down the home (N) button.
3. i saw the nook tablet turned off (i saw a black screen, so i thought it was turned off), and then at this time i released the home button and the power button.
4. as i said before, i saw it turned off, so i turned it on and it start flashing the screen, stuck at "read forever".
and then i chatted with nook support, they said i need to do a factory reset (which is what i tried to do before) and they told me to follow this:
I see. It seems that we may need to do a factory reset on your NOOK. Before we proceed with this, please be advised that doing the factory reset will delete all of your personal files permanently, so I advise you to back them up. For your BN contents, they will be recovered immediately after we do re-register your device. Lastly, please take out any SD cards installed on your NOOK.
Now, please do the following steps after fully charging your NOOK:
1.Hold the power button down until NOOK Tablet is powered off, ignoring the "Power off" prompt.
2.After Your NOOK is powered off hold the "NOOK Home Key" down then simultaneously hold down the "Power" button, release the buttons immediately after the “Read Forever” logo disappears.

i know it's similar to the guide at the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420408). so i tried it. and the confirm screen showed up, i confirmed, on the screen it was "Clearing data".
i thought i was successful. but NO, after it cleared data, it reset the nook tablet, and again, stuck at "read forever".
so i turned it off, and come to this forum to post this thread, PLEASE HELP ME
additional information:
- i took out the SD card before i do the factory reset (because they said that), but when i tried the first time (after reading the thread at XDA), i didn't take out the SD card (16 GB)
- they said i need to do after fully charged, but i did it when my battery was like 30%.
- last time i did a factory reset, i saw after it cleared data, it also restore factory setting, ("please do not turn off your device..."). but this time it didn't do that.
is it because the battery is not good enough so it didn't do the factory reset?
p/s: i'm charging it when i post this thread, and waiting for your help. i think i will try factory reset again after it fully charged.

Charge the NT up and then just let it sit for about 15 minutes. I had a similar problem just a few minutes ago that I fixed by doing that, clicking on all the "force close" buttons I was getting, rebooted into recovery via the Quick Boot app, and fixed permissions.

i'm not sure what you mean, it stuck at "read forever", nothing else shows up, there are no "force close" buttons and what is quick boot app, how can i do this when i can't even see the home screen.

Do you have CWM installed internally possibly?
If not you could make a bootable sdcard with CWM and make a wipe data (factory reset) once there.

If you're nook tablet is the 16GB model then you can try that .zip but if is the 8GB model then dont try it or you will brick your device.
Your should first read my FAQ - link in my signature (see below).
omg! it's so bad now
i charged the nook tablet while it's turned off, (because i don't want to see the flashing screen - i think it's not good), but i just went to nook support and they said DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE WHILE CHARGING.
so what can i do? if the battery is not good, it will not restore (nook support said that when i contacted them),
so the only thing i can do is leave the flashing screen, so it can charge, that will make the screen "dies", probably?
____________________________________
EDIT: don't know why and how but i tried again and finally it restored. i feel better now.
and i see the battery is 84%, which means it did charge, it is charging.
so why do they say don't turn off when charge?
p/s: i think as a newbie, i should not be curious about the stuff i don't know,...

First of all sorry about my English. I wish I can do better.
I got the phone with the rebooting and base on the owner of the phone he said it started rebooting after an update.
Not sure what was of update to but the phone I got always rebooting during Android app optimization stage ( when it updating about 90 files or so) but it got reboot when updating to the file of 57th (So it was not actually working)
I watched and followed the youtube (how to unblock/unbrick galaxy i717) which it used the pda-odin-att-stock.tar file with the ODIN3 V1.85 (I guess that original ROM of AT&T (android version 2.3)
After successful unblock/unbrick the phone the phone actual worked but the problem still. It works but only 2 minutes and the phone reboots.
2/ test redbend fota is one the options you can choose after hard booting the phone using both up - down keys and power key (other options are to clear the cache, or wipe the data..)
That actually happened to me while testing out Bean Stalk(which btw AWESOME ROM). It would do a Random Reboot and continuously do that every 2 minutes or so. The way I fixed it was by doing the following steps:
1) Power off your phone. If unable to power off, remove and reinsert the battery.
2 )Press and hold between both Volume keys and the Power key at the same time until the phone vibrates, then release ONLY the Power key.
3)Continue holding the Volume keys until Samsung appears on the screen. Then release both volume keys.
The recovery menu will display.
4) Press Volume down to move to option 3, Wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Home key to accept.
5) Use Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate in the menu and select Yes- Delete all user data.
6)Navigate to highlight OK and press the Home key to select.
7) Select Reboot system now.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING INSIDE YOUR SD CARD AS WELL! SO DO A BACKUP BEFORE ERASING EVERYTHING!

Could it be a battery issue? I mean if its not software, it might be hardware. Please check if the battery is fine? If you could elaborate the steps you took or the update process you followed, that would be great.
Don't worry we will definitely figure this out, i know how sad it can be when you are without your phone.

No. Surely it is not about the battery. Battery is full and hold the charge pretty well. As I mentioned I was re-installed the original ROM of the phone and there was nothing much to say about this procedure. After reinstalled the original rom the phone works but the problems is still same (rebooting after 2 minutes), before the the phone didn't work and just was in the updating stage but I guess the time of the updating file was also about 2 minutes.
I believe this is about the software than the hardware issue. I am thinking that I may want to install the newest ROM to see it will work or not but I am in the middle of some works right now and have no time for it. So I am just wait to see if there is anyone had similar issue and follow their instruction. Thank you you all.
I am sure you either have hardware issue or in most circumstances it is a user issue.
Is there any possibility you have not read everything or something you are not understanding?
Those of us responding do so because our methods are tried and true. Nobody else is having this issue.
I just ask is it possible?
Have you confidently tried all suggestions with no shortcuts? Even the smallest deviation can lead to the biggest problems

Here is a suggestion:
Please go to stock rom. After Odin restarts the phone...do not touch. Let the phone sit there for a little bit. Then if it restarts u might need to format your internal sd card after formatting system, data, cache and then install rom.
I had to flash it

Sounds like this was your first attempt before you had root?
In any event, your fix will be carried out by US Postal service. Get in touch with Amazon, and they'll replace it.

Same thing happened to me, I fixed it by holding the power button until it powered off, then plugged in the charging cable...waited about 20 minutes and the tablet booted up into the developer preview.
Yes, I read here that I need the developer preview so I can downgrade to 4.5.3 so I can root. My wife wants google play and a regular browser on this thing, she already has a Kindle paperwhite she likes for books. I did restart it multiple times, keeps coming back to the fire splash.

In recovery go to wipe cache and to factory reset (wipe data) then reboot and try if it works!
I am having the same issue & did factory reset in recovery to wipe cache & data. Still stick at "fire".

It worked for me! I did the factory reset with wipe data, and restarted, it sat at "fire" so I just left it, and the next day when I looked at it, it was asking me what language I wanted to use. So now I'm set to start the downgrade process so I can root for my wife.
Thanks!
I had same problem, amazon sent me a new one, but mine was only a week old. Resetting it and trying to restore in recovery mode did nothing.

After waiting for 2hrs, then trying to restart it and waiting again. This solved mine, I knew there was a recovery, just couldn't figure out how to get into it. Thanks.
So i did the wipe cache and factory reset. Its still stuck at fire should i leave it in my charger or without a charger
After getting AMZN support to send me a replacement when my first KF7HD stuck on "Fire", the replacement did the exact same thing. After waiting 2h stuck, I tried this post "Wipe cache"/"Wipe data" and rebooted. 10 min. later, the developer preview starts up fine. Thanks!
