I have a 16GB Nook Tablet that had the software 1.4.2 on it. I rooted it using the sd card method and installed CM7. Rom ran perfectly. I turned off boot animation. I held down power button to restart and now it won't turn on. I boot into clockwork mod to try and reflash something but get an error.
Can you still boot into your CM7 SD ROM?

I don't think so. I formatted the sd card so I could put pictures ect back on. I then re-made sd boot disk but still doesn't work.
Tried [UnBrick]TOTAL WIPE and reflash back to 1.4.0 via Ubuntu Recovery and it gets stuck at "writing all zeros to MLO"
Noob needs some assistance, haha
I successfully booted CM7 off of sd card. Are the partitions screwed up?

Try to find the Barnes and Noble factory image in the Development subforum.
I can't remember where it is but you write the image to an SD card and just power on the device with the card inside and observe a complete restore.

I somehow screwed up my partitions recently. Couldn't get out of bootloop. Let me look for the method I used. Brb
ok. to begin, here's how i screwed mine up. i was running cm9 with cyanoboot and twrp. i was running through several backups and compressing them. after one, i ended up in a bootloop with cyanoboot that continuously went to recovery. i do not know what all was wrong with the device specificly, but i tried adamoutlers ubuntu, and various other steps. nothing worked. i found my solution using several different threads. ultimately, this is what worked....
i can not claim any responsibility if this screws up your device more than it already is.
read all of this and these links before performing anything. fully charge your device beforehand!
get SDFormatter to have properly a properly formatted sdcard
my NT is a 16gb, and i use a windows 7 pc.
first, create a bootable cwm sdcard. NOTE: i was able to get both steps below onto the root of the sdcard.
second, run this zip to clear the boot count... you may or may not need this. i dont see where it would hurt starting fresh.
http://www.mediafire.com/?lybnkrvgjnqc65b
(original post- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26570960&postcount=18)
third, replace partition 1-4 and 6. i presume this restores the b&n recovery. run this zip...
http://www.mediafire.com/?z2n5h3k81a0nsy8
(original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26575066&postcount=20)
fourth, restore the stock 1.4.2 rom, unrooted.
i used this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26329581&postcount=1
you may already have a copy of the stock rom, but if you are getting errors, i would download another. CHECKSUM!!!!! i have dicked up more devices than i care to count because of a bad download. i now use MD5_SHA-1 Utility. google it for download.
then i re-rooted using this sdcard method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21275927&postcount=1
again, i can not claim any responsibility if this screws up your device more than it already is. i do hope this helps. it fixed mine.

I was rooted (using Indirect's method) but i couldnt get into recovery... it would pull up the card board box and then continues to load up... now the damn thing goes to the cardboard box and restarts and just keeps looping over and over... wtf did i do lol what can i do to fix this?
any help is appreciated...
i would make a bootable cm7 rom card and then install recovery flasher and flash stock recovery only if this is a 16gb NT, if this is a 8gb NT you may be bricked
i got the 16gb...just to confirm, i should do the sdcard image install from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826 ??

What's your ultimate goal here? Are you trying to flash CM7 to internal?
yes... i wana run either cm7 or cm9... whatever is easiest from my current situation...
And do you want to have CWM installed internally or do you want the custom recovery only to be run from SD?
again, whatever is easiest and/or best... i'd prefer it on the actual nook...

That's the way I like to do things, too.
So, to do this, you will have to use Indirect's app to install CWM internally. I know it didn't work this first time, but try it again. So try re-flashing CWM using Indirect's app, then try rebooting into recovery.
If this doesn't work, you can try a bootable CWM SD card.
just to confirm, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446987 - method 2 correct?
method two requires the ADB ( android debug bridge ) is working up happy. for me and my nook, i did not get the 'adb' working till two months later. So, i used method one. .
but i think ( imho ) you got or developed something goofy in the sd memory... so, if i were you i would do the 'adam outler' total wipe and clean first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910
.
for me, getting adb going . . . was driving me nuts ! ( hacking in the registry - ouch ! )
Whoa there, hold off on the total wipe idea! That is only a last resort, in any situation.
Just try to install CWM internally again using Indirect's app. Then report back so that we know that method definitely isn't working for you.

Haha all in a day's work. If you edit your first post of this thread, you can change the title to add [SOLVED] so users know this thread revealed a solution to somebody. Glad we got it working again!
* Please note, If you get into the n bootloop then you will have to create a bootablet cwm sd card and flash a backup or albert wertz's r3 recovery rom. Then after it boots into stock you can run the nook unrooter app to do a factory reset.
Just download this zip and flash it in cwm and reboot. Then it will just restore factory stock and fix your tablet.
Here`s the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1092658&d=1338298057
This may most likely work, however if it doesnt and you get into an n logo bootloop, then all you need to do is make a bootable cwm sd card and flash/restore albert wertz's stock recovery rom for your model. Then you could just boot nook os and flash stock recovery through the nt recovery flasher app already installed and run the nook unrooter app. Or a more simpler way would be to flash this stock recovery zip after you have went to backup and restore and restored the albert wertz recovery rom.
I had bricked my nook tablet by using the origional nt recovery flasher app to flash cwm recovery (the old version) and i flashed cm9 alpha 0.2. When I booted cyanoboot had an orange backround and it wouldnt boot into cm9 it said something about a disk majic errot. After I kept on rebooting and booted into cwm recovery. I then flashed my backup and made the mistake of selecting reboot recovery. When I rebooted I kept booting into cwm and I now know its called a cwm reboot recovery bootloop. This zip willl filx that and do a factoryy reset because I tried flashing the latest nt cwm recovery and it upgraded but still cwm bootlooped.
I think this may have fixed my nook tablet 16gb's partions. While I was in the cwm bootloop I had mounted and formatted each option. Including the rom partion. PLEASE! Dont do this because you might have a different situation and this may not help restore your partions. When I flashed this zip and rebooted my nt it booted into the clearing data which took a little while and it the factory resetscreen. To mysuprise after setup and regristration my serial number i still there. This is just an assumption.

Okay.Sorry for the confusion. After you rename the file with a zip extension. Extract that zip. There should be a folder inside called nt cwm 8&16gb or something of the sort. Then go inside of the folder and select every thing including the folders and recovery img. Zip those files using 7zip. Then flash it. I will update the file today so mostlikely you wont have to do this. Before 12 am today.

Well, I'd start with a bootable SD card and attempt to reflash CWM to emmc. Then once you get back into CWM I would go ahead and reflash CM7/9. Take care to use the appropriate image applicable to you NT (8/16).
If you search through the forums you'll find what you need. I'll check back later and see if I can find link for you, but I'm kinda swamped right now.

The initial bootloop was cause by an 'expired' CM9. The alpha releases come with a 30 day expirate "date" to prevent people from selling the alpha release ROMs to inexperience persons. Once you get CWM back on it download and install Alpha .04.

Is there a way (I may have missed it) to flash cyanoboot and still boot into stock rom EMMC and then boot "whatever" from SD card?
Yes, you'll want to have CyanoBoot on your microSD card. Do this:
1.) Download the CyanoBoot file from this post right here.
2.) Navigate to the first partition (boot partition) of the dual boot SD card you have made.
3.) Replace the old flashing_boot.img with the new flashing_boot.img file you just downloaded.
4.) Done.

How can I remove CyanoBoot from my EMMC? It came with the CM9 ROM I flashed. I forgot to back up my boot image, and although everything works perfectly, the CyanoBoot screen always has static on half the screen, then the whole screen (like the fuzz on TV screen when there's no service) when it boots into EMMC. I need to know how to remove it from my Nook Tablet and only have the stock bootloader so I can flash CB correctly.
I think you have a choice between upgrading to CM10 build, which should give you a working version of cyanoboot, or reverting to stock ROM. You can do either with a bootable CWM Recovery SD card.

Well, you really have to decide what you want to do and go with it. Noone else can tell you!
Have you looked at the links suggested?
If you want to go back to clean swiped out of the box 1.4.0 stoch there's aöways the "repart.img" that you can run. But that WILL wipe EVERYTHING and then put stock 1.4.0 back on.
Personally I think I'd try getting CM10 loaded, because it runs so well!

The boot images of all CM9 and CM10 ROMs that I am aware off all have Cyanoboot "baked" into it, so to remove Cyanoboot you'll have to go back to stock or Team-B CM7 Alpha.
Cyanoboot should be the file called flashing_boot.img

It states "Flashing file 1 of 2 /sdcard/sgt7-10-20121124-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip" I let it run for 2 hours, but no luck.
Thanks in advance!

The method you're using is rather old. Before you try anything else I will interrupt your possibly long strenuous process of flashing CM10.
Before you attempt anything else, restore your tablet. You might be mad at me for saying this, but it makes things easier using the newer methods for flashing ROMs. You can restore your tablet by writing this repart.img to an SD card and putting it in your nook. It will write stock BN ROM to your tablet. Use this:

A lot of people have problems with TWRP. I could never get it to stop freezing up. Assuming you want to internally flash CM10 I'll give you this link to follow:

If you are new to flashing ROMs there is a very simple way of using CM10 from an SD card. Just write it to your SD card and you're good! You can use a partitioning tool such as MiniTool to expand the different partitions of your SD card. Use this method if you want run from an SD card.

If you run into any problems along the way, just ask!
I appreciate the reply. I was able to flash back to factory, but I'm a bit perplexed on the second link. I do want to run CM10 internally. I was able to grab the file, but the link isn't exactly noob friendly on a "how to". Could you point me in the right direction to get started on this?
Thanks

Try this out.
Mega simple super duper easy way where you don't have to set up any partitions at all:
1. Download one of the ready-made CM10 sd-card images on Iamafanof website. Doesn't matter which! These images contain Cyanoboot.
2. Burn this image
3. Put your CM10 and gApps on this or another sd card.
4. Boot into Cyanoboot by holdninh "n" during bootup. Choose "sd recovery"
5. Clear cache and dalvik
6. Choose your zips and flash them
Once CM10 is installed you'll have Cyanboboot and CWM installed internally so if you need to reflass you just boot into Cyanoboot by holding the "n" at bootup.

@SuicidalSoldier:
I'd also suggest taking a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more info/pointers -- especially w.r.t. making backup in case you make mistakes in flashing.
Thank you for the info. I'll give these a try and post back my results.
Somehow after installing I keep stuck at the CyanogenMod splash screen.
I have already re-installed but to no avail.
Any hints?

Takes a while for the initial boot to start. Just wait 2 or 3 minutes and it should boot.

It indeed takes 2-3 minutes but then it just flashes the Android home screen and goes back to the cyanogenmod boot splash screen.
I am guessing I should install another build perhaps?

Go to recovery and do a factory rest/total wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then install the ROM again. If it still doesn't work try a different ROM.

By "cyanogenmod boot splash" do you means "Cyanoboot splash" or "Cyanogenmod boot-animation"?
You need to say more on what you did to "flash the ROM" so that we can discern what you might have done wrong.

Thanks dude, that did the trick. I guess the problem I had was with a corrupt image that I have downloaded.
