To restore your nook tablet we have 4 threads, actually 5 counting with this one about UNBRICK your device, only Adam's total wipe does not support 8GB model the rest do. So you gotta read and post in the respective thread if you get stuck or have any issues with the proper UNBRICK method.

One and only one thing comes to mind. You must continue to charge when you boot this even if your battery is 100%. Use power cord to turn on NT and keep it powered for the entire time. It (ubuntu) freaks without power and shuts down!
I hope this is your problem if not please tell more including which NT 8 or 16 gig, etc.
Good luck!

um, i know you're all stressed out, we've all been there ( me too ), but the guy above me is right. . . plz give us more information. . if it won't boot internal, will it boot boot something up on the external sd card ?
at some point, my nook just didnt start up, it went into the "restart your nook" scree
it boots from sd. and after i installed cyanogenmod 9 again, it didnt boot into it
i tried something else and i got this:
booti: bad boot image magic (in memory)
are you a 8GB or a 16 GB unit ?
is it true you are installing cm9 internal ?
you try to fix and now the internal is corrupt ?
16, and i dont know what happend, the onlything i know is i tried to reinstall cm9 back on

ah, the the senior devs in the dev area who created this cm9 -- made it a 'Cinderella rom', ie. it flat quits working on purpose. . they did it because some evil guys were selling the alpha code as a finished product. . so all people who run the cm9 rom have to go back and install the next cm9 version from their post...
installed alpha 3. didnt do anything. still "please restart your device"
i wiped all of the data on every partion, then installed cyanogenmod 9
still does it

if ( and a very big "if", ie. do not assume ) your partitions are corrupt ( from a past step gone bad ) then you have to go thru the partition re-build step ( in the dev area ) . . but can you boot up in ubuntu and examine your partitions first - see what shape they're in ?

i do not have the experience to help with a corrupt partition. ( if it is a corrupt one ) . i have not had to fix / repair a corruption on my unit . . i was lucky that the adam outler restore ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910 ) fixed mine and it went back to a factory boot-up . . my thought is that your NT is not corrupted because the boot is working . . the boot just fails to load the next piece . . ( i took some time and read over the 'partition repair' posts and they scared the hell out of me ! . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605664&highlight=damaged+partition+table ) my advice is to not re-format. do not re-partition. the senior people see the new people dive into un-necessary ( wrong ) steps way too early / often. . the senior people say they see 'relatively easy' fixes turned into a mess. . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635116
.
if the steps seem too much or are going nowhere... . do you have a large B&N store in your area ?

okay, so I bought a basically brand new galaxy tablet 10.1 today, and rooted it using this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
no problems whatsoever, re-booted and everything seemed fine. I then tried to install BigDX Xoom|Zoom Theme and the **** hit the fan...
it would load my lock screen, but instead of a lock it had a TINY picture of a little grey lock inside of a grey square, if i tapped it and then tried to slide it "it wouldn't just slide" I would get an error message and then the tablet would freeze and restart. if I didn't touch the lock it would just keep restarting about every 45 seconds. I went back into ClockworkMod Recovery and did the factory reset "maybe a mistake?" it asks me to select my region but then gives me an error message and keeps restarting. can I just restore original firmware through odin or something like that? I'm not much of a hacker, just occasional customization stuff.
please help me... I never even got to use my tablet, this was the very first thing that I did

Did you make a backup before you flashed it?
You can also download a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through Odin if you didn't

I didn't really know about backing it up before I did it... ... so I guess next time I should root > backup using the same recovery clock screen "volume buttons"> and then as long as I don't completely brick it restore from that?
I'll try re-flashing through odin. what do you think happened? no one else seemed to have a problem with that theme, and I really like the way it looks.
also I'm kind of confused by that site... which firmware do I need?
What device do you own and where are you from? Need english based rom?
Fingertyped on Samsung galaxy tab 10.1" 32GB WiFi
If you just bought it and don't care about your data, just odin back to stock. For instructions, here's a video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYBs98R9rTs and here's a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971 look at the second half of the first post.
My NT used to work beautifully. It was rooted and was a great device. Then it started to randomly shutdown.
Now, after factory resets and just about everything else imaginable, it boots normally, gets to the woman on the video screen, then just shuts off. If I hold the power button only, it stays on but only for a few seconds as the power button, oddly enough keeping it on, shuts it down.
Also, the only way it turns on is to connect to PC via USB. Power button will not turn it on unless connected.
Any one have ANY ideas what could be the issue?
Thanks a ton!

Try Formating your external sdcard if any, make a wipe data factory reset. Leave it on CWM then Put it to charge full with original charger and USB cable. Leave it for 3-4 hours. After that unplug from power, reboot device in CWM and report back

Thanks. The problem is, when I boot to CWM, it flickers and will only stabilize by holding the power button in. I've tried several cards with fresh CWM and it always flickers and is nearly impossible to make a selection.

It's a 16GB model purchased 12/25/11. I've tried everything and have no idea what it could be. The CWM issue is really odd too. It's just a very fast flicker that won't let me select anything unless the power button is held down which then defeats the purpose since it'll shut down.
Also, if I ever am able to get it to do a data wipe through the flickering, I get a message as it goes through that states, "E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"
Then it says "Data wipe complete" while still flickering and continues to do the same on any restart

Ok, tell me if at list when you boot into CWM (internal or sdcard) your device remains on and doesn't shutdown after few minutes. This is important in order to perform unbrick methods. Also let me know what unbrick method(s) have you tried so far, if any.

When I boot into CWM it will remain on the CWM screen flickering forever until I shut it down.
I have tried everything on the forum to unbrick, including the ubuntu method several time. The only one I haven't been able to try is the internal partition restore since the files don't exist any longer to try that method.
Hope this info leads to something. Thank you for your help. I've spent endless hours on this and am now just trying to get it working again to donate it to a charity in a working condition. I have a new Nexus 7 which blows this away regardless but would like to donate a functioning tablet to a kid who would really appreciate it.

OK i think the unbrick method you're referring is @soshite's thread? that is the one i was going to suggest you, so what you need to follow that tutorial is meghd00t's cwm recovery sdcard which you can find here (it already have the gdisk and sgdisk built in), the scripts.zip (not sure if those scripts are built in the cwm sdcard aswell) and the 16gb partition images.
All the tools mentioned above and more can be found in my FTP Nook Tablet folder so i recommend you to bookmark it.

No luck. The instructions make no sense. How can I get "to a terminal" when the NT turns off so quickly.
I'm afraid this it fried.
Frustrating since it boots to the stock woman in the video and just quits.
Maybe someone else wants to take a shot.
Make me an offer for this POS. My goal was to donate it to a children's charity here but it's useless in this state its in. Anyone want it?
Let me know. I have no more time to mess around with something that's about a year behind the latest technology now.
Thanks for all your help everyone but it's time to let this go.
Hey Community,
sorry for my bad english im from germany.
Yesterday i became my Nook Tablet (second-hand). I rootet it and it was full functionable. Today i would reset it. After the reboot, the Tablet Stops at the N Logo- after a few seconds the display is black. I dont know why....
Can anyone help me please.
Greetings from Germany
I can't tell you why it happens, but I can tell you that it happened to me as well. I had to take it back to a Barnes & noble. It wouldn't turn on all the way, just like yours, so they replaced it under warranty. Worth a try, I suppose.

Did you use Indirect's root method? If so he posted an UNROOT utility which perhaps you should have run before trying to go back to stock using BN factory reset (Is this what you mean be "reset"? guessing this is what you did but maybe you mean you just tried turning it back on). If you tried to revert to stock it is my understanding that unless you UNROOT evidence of your root attempt will still exist even if you successfully factory reset. Maybe not doing the UNROOT caused your problem if you mean you were trying to go to stock?
Anyway, I'm sure I recall others who has the same problem in the past and there is a fix. First, if you are stuck on black (but machine is on) you can try shutting it down by pressing the power button AND the N button together 8 times. Also if you let the battery drain it will turn off itself. No guarentees it won't do the same when you turn it in again. Try to get into clockwork mod by pressing power, volume up and N button simultaneously...hold for a while until you maybe get that open, if it still exists on your system. If you can get in, there are instructions in the threads on how to fix ur problem using clockwork mod I believe. You just have to search!
Good luck!

The carton image is the recovery splash screen. But since it doesn't load recovery, something must be wrong.
You can try unbricking methods, but I think you should make sdcard bootable cwm recovery and flash a cyanogen mod Rom.
Look for guides, links, etc in development section.
