I’m not really sure how this happened but I had my Nook Tablet booting CyanogenMod from its internal storage but now it will to only boot into ClockworkMod. Last time I had a problem with the Nook booting I followed the instructions I found on this webpage
raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
but now this method is not working. After the Nook displays the screen that says “Please do not turn off your device, installing new software” it turns off and then I have to turn it back on again by pressing the power button. The Nook just goes right back into ClockworkMod. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to return my Nook to factory default software from this state or at least get CyanogenMod back?

Questions unironically belong in the questions sub forum. Additionally, we need more information in order to help you properly.
Were you on stock OS? Custom rom? Custom kernel? Rooted stock? Cyanoboot? 8GB or 16GB model?
Cyanoboot and my Nook is the 16GB model.

Sorry, I thought Cyanoboot was the rom.
In the about tabler screen it says CyangenMod-7.2.0-RC-acclaim-Team-B for Mod version. Is this the rom?
Yes, you are on cm7. I thought you said you could only boot into clockwork mod?
Cyanoboot is a custom bootloader.
I made a bootable SD card to use for now since I can no longer boot from the Nook internal memory. I would like to be able to use the Nook without having to run off the card.

Okay well whatever you're booting off the sdcard for a rom really isn't applicable to fixing the internal memory.
Have you tried flashing a rom from the internal memory?
CM7 is what I had on the internal memory before this boot loader issue.
Since it's booting into clockwork mod, I tried installing some roms I downloaded and back ups I made from a 8GB Nook stock rom but they won't install. Says install aborted.

If I read this right, it sounds like you tried to restore backups from an 8GB model even though you have a 16gb model? I don't think thats what caused your issue or anything, but I'd just like to note that trying to flash roms/restore backups from different devices is a bad bad idea. The 8GB and 16GB models are, for all intents and purposes, different devices.
Now to address your problem. The fact that you can boot from sdcard is great. And with that knowledge, I would recommend using this method to reformat/reset your nook, allowing you to start over.
I tried to do the flashing of the 8GB back up rom to the 16GB after I had the problem so no, that is not what cause the issue. Thank you for the link I am downloading AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash.tar now and will let you know how it turns out.

Gotta read the threads man. This is how people end up in sticky situations. Read through the thread; I'm fairly certain the 16GB version was smaller than 1.5GB.

Is this the 16GB gig one then?

Safest thing is to just use a CM7 Rom SD card.
is there a video that shows from step 1 how to flash a rom on the nook and how to get cwm on there? thanks
I'm not 100% sure but I am fairly certain there is no CWM for the 8GB NT and thus those users have been sticking to booting CM7 from an sd card.
Perhaps we should start a donation drive for it...

If you want to run CM7 from your SD card, here are the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22199348&postcount=1
Just download both zips in the SD VERSION IMAGE section, write the image to your SD using the included tool, put SD in your NT, power on.

I'm looking for the reversal of most guides out there, I want to run cm10 on internal emmc but want to have a bootable stock 1.4.3 of the NT software. I know I can have a backup of it and switch back and forth by flashing cwm then recovering the image, but that is so troublesome.

Can't have nook stock boot on a SD card, sorry. You can run cm10 on a boot able SD card though so it doesn't touch the internal storage.

Use a cm10 SDC card. Follow instructions from here
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
Don't internally flash until you understand what you're doing.
Thank you. I am very sorry. Next time I will be wiser. is there a way for me to do cm7 with your instructions?

There's a cm7.2 SDC image on the iamafanof site. Scroll down all the nook tablet posts and you'll find it.

My initial instructions will work. If you don't know what you're doing really then use cm10. On the site I linked scroll down to fond the final release (12/31) and write the image file to your SD card. You'll be good to go afterwards.

No you shouldn't have to have your USB plugged in to boot from SD card.
Yes CM10.1 4.2.2 works just the same, just write it to your SD card and you're good.

There's a few guides on the "nook tablet general" thread that have instructions on how to internally flash CM. As I said if you don't feel comfortable internally flashing, then use the SDC image.
Are you sure I will safefully be able to internally flash something? Since of my prior flash of the cm7 internal rom?

There's no difference in internal and SD card speed. But I'll suggest using the SDC image for your case.

I have been using CM7 for quite a while now and recently it this week I have been unable to add apps or even update the ones i had. I would like to move on to a newer version one perhaps a little more stable than the rom i have been using as this one was a fairly early version. I tried the raywaldo reset to stock using a repart cart and it will not boot off the card. It always loads the Team-b CM 7 boot process. I can get to CWM via the reboot option. Is there a reason the repart.img isnt loading? WTF am I doing wrong here???

Check your SD card space. If it is none, get a new one and it should work. You need an SD card to download anything.
I have a 4gb and a 32gb card tried both.
Burn the repart.img to the 4GB card, pop it in the Tablet (powered up), insert the charger cable, connected to the charger and hopefully the repart will start.

The process of flashing a custom ROM does not need/use any component of the stock ROM, and a custom ROM replaces the stock ROM in its entirety on the NT active partitions, hence there is no benefit in returning to stock prior to flashing a custom ROM; see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for some more background info.

Welcome.
You have a few options.
You can continue to run the internal (eMMC) stock B&N ROM with modifications like root. Running a small tablet like this is considered by many to be less than ideal. The interface is clunky.
You can replace the internal (eMMC) stock B&N ROM with a full, rooted version of android. What you get is an experience much like many tablets available (Nexus 7), with the main difference that many of those other tablets also have cameras and bluetooth, and the Nook Tablet doesn't.
You can create a bootable microSD card with a full, rooted version of android. If you have a spare microSD card kicking around, this gives you the option of trying the full android experience without actually modifying anything on the internal eMMC storage. Take out the microSD card, reboot, and you're back to stock. Put the microSD card in again whenever you want. Put in another microSD card with a different android ROM. Swap back and forth whenever you want. For this option, I think the smallest card you can use is a 2GB, but I could be wrong on that.
Decide which option you want and then we can discuss it further.

I'd like to go with option 3. I followed a video I found on youtube that had the links to everything I needed, but then I realized it was actually for the the color reader and not for the BNTV250, which is what I have. I was hoping there was an option for the SD card Android method like the other model. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, and thanks again for the help and getting back to me.

This would have worked (the second paragraph method) but I do not understand all this formatting different partitions thing. I guess you have to do it, because the image file (IMG) I downloaded won't fit on my 2GB SD card. Maybe I need a bigger card? Or do I HAVE to do the partitions?
EDIT: I did the partition method exactly as described in the instructions and it's still telling me I don't have enough enough space on my SD card. I don't understand why it keeps telling me this, because he said a few times you can use a 2GB card?
I can help... Let's start with identifying what OS your pc has and going over which instructions you performed.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC, and I followed these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1
I was following the second paragraph method (using the write image to SD card method)
My card was too small though. I need 1.87 GB and my card was only 1.86. I have a 4GB card handy so I'm going to try that out. I'm just wandering if I have to do the different partitions on the card or not, I already did it once but the image was too big for the card. I'm just not sure if I'm just using the write image option if i have to use the partition method. Either way it doesn't matter, since I do understand how to do it now. Thanks again!
The second paragraph links to instructions you that don't require you to make partitions. You need to be more specific about which steps you did.

I figured it out actually. The last thing I'm trying to figure out is how to expand the memory for installing apps. I'm using a 4GB SD card, but there's almost 2gb (like 1.86GB) left on the card not being used for anything. I'm trying to figure out how I can make use of that for more storage for apps. I'm looking up and down the instructions, and he said you can expand the memory, but it doesn't say how.
