Bricked Nook - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hi,
I decided that it was time to CWM my rooted Nook so I could install CM7 Alpha! I used Indirects App to Flash to Recovery, followed the steps carefully...used the "reboot into recovery" option and now the Nook boots into a white screen with a brown box - for about 5-10 secs, then to a black screen.
I create an SD card FAT 32 and added the CMW files to it in the hope I could boot to CWM using this method but it seems like the SD card is ignored completely and goes back to the blank screen. I also tried the acclaim.zip to restore to B&N defaults but it just ignores the SD card (2 different cards).
ADB doesn't work either, tried to re-run the original root script and it doesn't pick up the device.
I didn't do anything different to the instructions, not sure why this has happened....
Can anyone offer a little help?
Thanks

The white screen with brown box is normal, CWM not coming up isn't. Perhaps the file was corrupted during your download. I'd download the sd card files again and retry. Also, I recall something about potentially having to hold power and "n" button while booting in order for nook to boot from sd on some devices. Another alternative is to turn device off, insert sd, then plug nook in and allow it to turn on and boot.
I'm new here, and to android, so, if i'm wrong, hopefully someone will pop in and correct me.
Also, did you try looking at some of the "brick fix" threads in the development section?

Few questions....
Why are you wanting/trying to boot cwm from an sd card if you already flashed it to system using indirects app?
Secondly you CANNOT boot cwm using a fat32 formatted sd card didn't you root your tablet before? You have to write the image to the sd card using the tool for windows and/or linux explained here:

stucked in cwm recovery
Hi,
My Nooks been stucked in CWM Recovery.
When I try to reboot, I get the message below;
cwm-based recovery v5.5.5.0.4
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/command/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/last_log/
failed to open/sys/class/android_usb/state: No such file or directory
At the moment, ubuntu and mac osx does not reconize my device, but windows usb ports does. However, when I try to run "adb shell" command in command prompt I get this error : "device not found"
Any ideas?

did you try booting from an sd card the proper way? Guess you can't do celtic's instructions since your device is not recognized :/

I tried to re-install CM7 alpha many times. But, whenever I try to do it, I get the same messages below.
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/command/

The Nook is notorious for not recognizing the SD card. Pop it out and put it back in. Then try your process again. Also there are multiple threads on support of CM7 and CWM on the site. Take the time to read through them as there is a wealth of information that will most likely walk you through any issue you may encounter.

If you don't have installed the drivers and adb files because you rooted using the sdcard method then download Drivers+adb.zip with the files you need to make adb work. Just Uncompress the zip, drop the ntroot folder within C:\, run the runmefirst.bat then install the drivers as AlbertWertz shows in his videos ( There is a video collection of his videos in my FAQ >> sticky in General section, post#2) then plug your device open cmd type cd C:\ntroot and you should be good to start using adb.

This is actually an extremely common issue it seems. Basically you're partition map has some how been damaged.
All you need to do is download the snowball mod and extract the 'Prated" binary from the bin directory and push it ot your device.
Go to your device and run the binary with the following ocmmand
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
It will most likely show up with an error and ask if you want to fix it. Just say yes and let it do its' thing.
After it completes, reboot your device and see if you still get the same errors, Attempt to install CM7 once more.
If it still doesn't work, run the parted command again then download Adams total wipe and run that. It'll reset your device back to total stock. The parted command will repair the partition table and adamoutlers software will upload all the required software to the correct places for it all to work
Hope that helps!
If you get stuck feel free to give me a shout
****EDIT****
Just realised you can't get into adb, does the device show if you type adb devices?
