Did you format your sd card within Cm7? That seems to trigger a bug that completely bricks the device. Just happened to me, it's been discussed over in the development forum. Sucks but if you're like myself and several others, it's basically a 250$ paperweight now.
Keep watching, I wouldn't be surprised to see a fix at some point.
And shortly thereafter ...
Don't give up yet, there's hope on the horizon.
I found something that may be of use to you in the development forum. Also as a side note to other people, do your best to stay away from the SD card install of CM7! It's apparently extremely risky right now and pretty likely to brick Nooks. Go for an internal installation if you can.

Got mine fixed thankfully. Definitely a scary hour or two there.
Mine was an internal install, and the brick was caused by trying to format the sd card through CM7, which apparently formats some other vital partition instead....they've taken down the links to download CM7 for now.
Yeah, they don't want anyone else to stumble across the install files and end up bricking their Nooks. I'm impressed at how fast they've been moving though, so I won't be surprised if they have a fixed version up within the next week, or even earlier. These dudes are incredibly industrious and they really seem to love hacking.
Haha, now I have it back up and running, back to the 1.4.1 + root zip mod that's floating around the dev forum....and it reboots every time i start downloading something, anything so far, from the market. *sigh.* gonna try fixing permissions, and then possibly wipe and re-apply the mod with cwm....

Well, if you're having the same problem that many of us others are having, follow the link in Mike_Ironfist's post a few posts back from here. If you follow that link, it will walk you through creating a CWM SD card that you should be able to boot with, and then further fixes follow in that linked post.
Other than that, I'm not sure. It worked for me and got me unbricked but now I'm stumbling with other problems sadly.

Alrighty, so I rooted using the Indirect method and I have tried unsuccessfully for a long time to unroot it. I have come to terms with the fact that I can't unroot it.
My biggest issue that I need help with is uninstalling/installing apps. Uninstalling apps removes them from the app tray, but only until the device is rebooted. Nothing STAYS uninstalled. Same with installing apps. It installs and runs while the device is on, but as soon as it reboots, the app is gone.
Anybody got any ideas?

I don't flame noobs as I am one, but question. Why did you post this question if you wouldn't accept help and no one can help?
The suggestion you were given is proper if you have a 16gb NT that came as 1.4.0. It will work if you are able to complete the task properly. It formats appropriate partitions and then rewrites them with zeros then places 1.4.0 recovery and reboots recovery. It does work; for me at least. I have used numerous times.
I keep an sdcard with this and another with cwm boot ready at all times as I tend to try new things regularly.

I'm asking for help on my app problem. I'm not flaming anyone. I'm just saying that I already asked for help a month ago on how to unroot my NT and, while lavero.burgos was very helpful, it was never solved, even trying the several ways to unroot she and others suggested. I'm not looking for help on how to unroot/reroot. I've tried the Adam Outler post and it doesn't work on my NT. It won't boot into CWM. And I can't use ADB. (see here for my original post on unrooting)
As I've said, I accept that I cannot unroot my device for whatever reason. I just need help with my app problem. I even installed Titanium and uninstalled the unwanted apps. Rebooted and they all came back. My NT is like 10-Second-Tom from 50 First Dates, I swear lol
Also, side note, I'm pretty sure the reason the acclaim update doesn't work is because my NT doesn't have the B&N firmware on it anymore. I brought my NT to B&N and the guy tried resetting it for a while and he couldn't get it to reset. He said it was because there wasn't any B&N firmware left.
Don't have a NT, but planning on getting one.
However major post-root tool is this: http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk
Does that help? Make sure you backup any apk before you delete them - if you mess up, then you can always restore the apk.
I will have to try when I get home tonight. I'll let you know, thanks.
Like I said, it was rooted using the Indirect method. So it was reset to 1.4.0 before rooting. It now reads as 9.9.9. It's a 16g.
OK, sorry...haven't been able to get to trying out the suggestion.
When I do the Adam Outlet Ubuntu method, it just reboots a bunch of times (almost like 8 failed boots) and then boots up like normal. No Ubuntu, nothing. Just boots up like there's no SD card in.
Next suggestion?

No. I saved a text file named "test" to the internal memory under documents. It showed there until I unplugged the NT from my computer and then I couldn't find it manually on my NT. Plugged it back in, went to the documents folder and it was gone.

That may be it, her battery was very low. Thanks for the info.
I'd suggest upgrading to CM10 next time you have her NT for a couple of days. CM7 for the NT got superseded by CM9 and CM10 well before its development got mature enough, its Android base (Gingerbread) is also ~2-year old and many new apps would not be backward compatible with it.
The easiest/quickest way to get on CM10 is to run it off an SDcard using a pre-made image from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/. You can buy a 8GB class 4 microSD (Sandisk is best) for about $6 on ebay, burn the CM10 image and just mail it to your daughter to put it in and boot it up.
If you want to build the CM10 SDcard from scratch (for more customization) you can use the process described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35786747&postcount=1, but you'll need to use the NT to "build" the card.
Just an FYI stock nook untouched freaks out with low battery as well. It isn't ROM related.

1st thing i thought it was a known issue that gingerbread doesnt work well with NT's. and that there were always huge bugs when it is installed.
2nd thing u shud def update to newer cm10.2 stable with bexus-n kernel. works well even without kernel.just runs faster and saves more energy and charges faster.
3rd u should ALWAYS wipe data first especially if ur installing different android versions (exp: gingerbread to jellybean and such). even going from stock nook to a rom u shud wipe.....chance of leaving residual data from past rom might brick it or mess up the internal partitions. then ur in for a long drawn out recovery process. good luck :good:

Evening all,
I previously rooted my Nook Tablet 16gb using an SDCard and I believe CM7. I stopped using the nook for awhile and when I brought it back out CM7 would constantly crash. I don't know if I should start with the guide on the Android Developers sub forum as I don't know if that's current.
Could someone please point me in the right direction for where to get started? Is the SD card method the best? What launcher should I choose? I'll continue searching the forums but any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

CM10+ is your best bet. It's based on Jelly Bean. Pretty stable also. CM10 released a stable version on 12/31 and CM10.1 is almost to it's stable release (RC4 was just released.)
The succulent versions are my favorite. Go to http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/ and check out some of the posts. Find something you like. If you need help just let me know.

Thanks to the both of you. Data, in my own research I have found the Succulent versions of which you speak. So far I've been following this guide here, but I've run into a pretty big issue. The images that I'm trying to download are hosted on this goo.im site, and I'm having numerous problems trying to download from there. If I can get the download to work, it slows to a crawl then ultimately stops. Any browser I use fails with this.
I'm still searching, however do you know of any other mirrors I would be able to download the releases?
Also, the Nook was already previously rooted. Do I need to update CWM or the root to be able to use CM10? And if so, how?
Thanks!
I managed to download the files that were necessary and got it running. The only problem I'm having now is the sluggishness that is being caused by CM10.1. Waiting to see if this is fixed via a reboot, but it's even taking a little while just to open the book on the Nook. I don't know if this is due to having previous files on the nook or anything. I need to start looking into ways to completely restore the Nook to factory condition and work at it from there as well. Even after the reboot just bringing the Nook out of lock can take awhile.
Also it appears some report that this can be untethered... and some report that they always have to reboot with power plug to get it to load CM10.1. Has anyone been able to force the issue one way or the other? Any idea why some have success and some don't? As always I'll continue searching, but if you get to the answers before I do I would appreciate it.

If you're running CM internally on EMMC I'd suggest you wipe /data (which will entail reloading your apps from Google Play) and /cache; if you're running CM off SD card you'd need to wipe the /data partition on the SD card (aka /data1 if you're using CWM version compiled by Succulent).

Digi I believe it's off of the SDCard. When I boot the Nook w/o power or SDCard it loads Nook software + root. I went ahead and formatted the data partition as well as the system partition (for some reason in my partition manager it was listed as EXT3)... got everything squared away. The OS part of it seems to be running a bit better right now... Loading a book in the Nook app still takes forever but I'm beginning to think that's because it's Game of Thrones, and it merged 4 books into one so it's like 3500 pages. It takes between 45-60 seconds to load each time I go in.

CM10.1 is a speed demon on my mom's NT. I've never ran on anything but emmc, however.
Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX HD
I got a NT not long ago and it is now rooted and running CM10, however I still lost in regards the 1gb user partition. CM10 is installed in that partition and I wanted in fact repartition the NT but the process seems to be confuse and risky so I was wondering if I have to stay llimited to work with just 1GB.
How about games and other programs I download? Are they all be installed in that 1gb?
I inserted a 16gb card but I cannot re -direct the apps to install in the external or even move them to the sd ext card. I also cannot see it with a file manager.
Could I use the B&N partition to load movies, apps etc or it will be sitting there useless?
Is there maybe an easier way to re-flash and repartition?
Thank you
BUMP!
You can reaprtition the same way they do in stores if you want to and get an 8GB partition for own storage. The repart.img mentioned in many other topics will do that for you. You will loose everyhting and get right back to out of the box stock firmware if you do it, but it's really easy.

The download link is in the very beginning of this post. If you've got image writing software already you can then jump to step 2. Extract the downlad and burn the reaprt.img to a card. Insert card and boot to it. After a few minutes a green chejmark should appear. (If a red cross appears instead you're in trouble.) Remove card and an update starts and goes on for a few minutes and you can then start over with yout CM10 install again.

So after doing this will I have to reroot or I just have to reinstall cm10? Getting my 16gb card in the mail (hopefully today) should I wait to get the card or can I just copy everything from my 8bg to the 16 and everything remain? Thank you for your help!
It's probably me being stupid, but I don't understand what setup you have and quite what you are talking about. Running the repart .img will completely erase everything on the device and set it back to freshly bought. Whatever you have in internal memory that you want to save you need to save somewhere else.
I don't get your reasoning that CM10 is installed in your 1GB partition, because that is not the norm.
Probably me being stupid, but I can't help you.

Well, if you're installing CM10 you don't actually have to root as a separate process. Just install CM10 and rooting will come done at the same time. Itäs only if you plan to run stock you need to root.
If you have to go and get stuff from several pages you are probably not doing the installing in a very efficient way. Possibly things can be done a lot easier now than whe you originally did it.
Ihave made several posts outlining an extremely easy way to install CM. Look for them if you want to.

I had already done the root from a video I saw on youtube then used your link for cm from the [Q] Noob Alert! Nook Tablet 8GB Rooting Question! post. So just doing the cm from that same post will also root my device? I don't really need anything on the actually nook. I got it as a gift and use the kindle app for all my books. I will defiently look into your other posts. I just got the NT a little less than a month ago.
If you root before installing CM10 you'll just overwrite the root you did, so no point in doing it.
Once CM10 is installed your Tablet should be rooted.
All you need to do is get into CWM 6.x.x an flash the ROM and appropriate gApps zips.
