Hello, I recently received a Nook Tablet with a major problem. It won't boot up. The best I can do is to get it to the TWRP menu. If I try to go past that it just goes to a black screen and I have to restart the device. I've tried looking online for a fix but came up empty. I would either like to restore the Nook to factory settings or restore the CyanogenMod OS. The TWRP screen says v2.1.4. When I go into the install menu I have two options cm-7-TEAM-B-BETA1-signed.zip and Gaps_and_root.zip. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, -Rob
More info please!
Is this new or a used device that you are trying to do something with? If so, what?
The CM7 leads me to believe it's a used one since CM10 is the ROM of choice at the moment for most.
What have you actually done, if anything, beside trying to boot?
I would suggest you browse through some topics here, because I'm pretty sure spending a little time will provide with several suggestions how to move forward.

It is used and has an 8gb flash card. When I originally got it I was able to get it to boot but I couldn't download any Apps because the Google Play wouldn't work and it gave a message "OTA Updater has stopped working". I've spent hours looking for a way to get it back to factory or to try and get it to work properly and have had no luck. Now I can't get it to boot up. I tried the Internal eMMC recovery option but it doesn't seem to be working. Could the MOUNT options be a problem? Currently "Unmount Cache", "Unmount Internal Storage", and "Using internal storage" is selected. I just want to get this tablet to work properly so I can download apps and use the Android OS as it was intended.
If I was you I would start over again with a "fresh" Tablet and do a completely new install. But that's me... I've given suggestions how to do that in several similar topics in this very forum. As I said, read the forum! I see several topic headlines that SHOULD catch your attention on this very forum page list!

I tried the acclaim restore per this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190 . It involved copying the .zip file to my SD and inserting it into the Nook. When I turned it on it was supposed to begin restoring the Nook to the factory OS. When I did it, the Cyanoboot went into "Loading recovery from eMMC". Not sure if it's not booting from the SD or not but I tried the usb to PC method.
I also attempted the AlbertWertz SD Root card, but when I try to write the .img file to my SD it said that there was insufficient space on disk. And I tried it with a 8gb and 16gb SD.
I then tried the do the CM10 install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056626 . But my computer doesn't give me the option to format my SD w/ a partition.
I also tried to hold the Power+N 8x and it just goes back into the Cyanoboot menu.
I can't seem to find anyone with my exact problem. NT wont boot into OS, and no matter what I do it goes into the Cyanoboot menu.
Try the burning the "repart.img" in the topic I link to at the end of this post to an sd-card and boot into it. Unless you've managed to destroy some partition on the device in your attempts (and it doesn't sound as you've made enough progress to actually do that - sometimes lack of progress is good) . It's fully automatic and takes you back out of the box stock 1.4.0 (as I have told in several other topics the last few days).
Using this is far sefer than fiddling with CWM and what have you if you're not sure what you're doing!

Digested version: Find the repart.img and burn it to and sd card. 1 GB will do

Assuming you have a Windows PC/laptop, you can download and use this free disk partition tool: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html (just be careful apply it to the SD drive and not your PC/laptop hard drive).

Hey Guys,
I just got my 16gb NT during ebay's $199 sale. I'm having a serious problem getting the thing to boot off of an SD card. It came stock with 1.4.1, but I think something's different because I've tried:
Restoring back to 1.4.0 with the acclaim_update.zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402190
And the NT root SD card
Nook Tablet Root SD Cards
No mater what I do, I can't get it to boot off of the SD card via the zip or into CWM, all I get are factory reset screens instead of CWM. I've tried 3 different SD cards.
I'm going to give this a shot next:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470910
I don't know if it's going to work, so any help would be greatly appreciated. What's stopping my NT from booting off of the SD?!
why go back to 1.4.0 you don't need to. use indirect method using his image writer tool supplied if your on windows it sounds like you are not formatting the sd card

I've tried formatting the cards both using windows and the NT internal tool. I've also tried writing the image file both directly to the SD and to the SD mounted in the nook.
I'll try indirect's method first.
I wanted to go to 1.4.0 to snowball.
It is my understanding that BN made a change in the new 8 gig NT that somehow prevents booting from the sdcard. Check other threads. No one so far has been able to boot from sdcard. Making some changes in Indirect's setup may solve it so I read on one of the threads. good luck.

Doesn't work. Formatted through the nook, connected through the nook, wrote the image through the nook, etc. Went to go boot up (power+n, screen on/off, eject/reinsert card, power on) - all I got was a factory reset option instead of CWM.
Something is amiss.

That change is the bootloader locking up because it's the wrong bootloader.

Again, this is a 16gb nook tablet, not an 8gb. It looks like, very very briefly, I may be getting something other than the factory reset screen - I see what looks like the start of the nook bootup animation, then a green arrow that flashes quickly, before I get the factory reset screen.
I bought the NT from the Ebay sale last week as well. Have you heard of anyone else having issues booting off the SD card?
I was planning to book the NT tomorrow. Sounds like I might be returning mine if that doesn't work...

Try turning it off completely, inserting the SD card, and plugging it into your computer.

so to clarify things. you put the acclaim update zip on the sd card. and did you let it reset your nook to 1.4.0 or not? Also you don't have the acclaim update zip on your memory card when you are trying to boot off the sd card do you?
It did not try to reset it. It didn't do anything other than boot normally.
I know it sees SD cards because i can look at files, but it did not boot from it.
ok. wipe your sd card. put on ONLY the acclaim update zip. nothing else. stick that in your nook then turn it off. (in that order) then when it powers back on, let it update your nook
once it's updated, turn your wifi off and check what version you are on. then delete the acclaim update zip from your sd card and report back. KEEP IN MIND. it's NOT "booting off the sd" for this. it's just resetting the software to 1.4.0. if you think it's supposed to boot off a sd for this, think again. expect to see something along the lines of a factory update. that's what it's supposed to do whenever the acclaim update zip is on your sd card.

Yeah, you're not affected by it. Your problem is operator error. They can't change hard-coded IROM with a firmware update.
I don't know what I did but I finally got acclaim to wipe me back to 1.4.0.
I had 3 different SD's formatted in various ways through the pc, through the tablet, etc. Each time it was ONLY acclaim on there. 158th time's the charm, I guess.
Now to tackle the apk parse errors while trying to sideload stuff.
Parse errors are caused by selecting the first button option just once when installing an app and then the second option button which is the only one you should ever select will give you parse error as well. If you do a search on parse errors you will see it.

I was having issues with my SD card not booting last night during my CM7 install. After checking my work in Gparted I knew it was OK. Finally I unzipped the files into the upper root and it booted. I know I had it boot with the zip before but this time I could not get it to work?

First thing I'd try would be to make a bootable CM7 SD ROM. If you can boot into that SD ROM, you'll at least have an operating system for the time being, and you can still try to figure out/fix the problem that was created in the internal system.

You can still put files on your SD card. The let me try to explain:
The CM7 image that you wrote to your SD card created 4 partitions. By using a free software called MiniTool Partition Wizard on a PC, you can extend the 4th partition (the one for user data) of your SD card to consume the rest of your storage space. The software is really easy to use, you shouldn't have any trouble with it.
Again, I know this all isn't fixing your main issue yet, but at least you'll have a tablet again until it hopefully gets fixed up.

tysm for helping me solar. imma do it fresh from the start right now i have a clean 32 gb micro sd card. i downloaded the cm7 for the sd. i have minitool partition wizard installed. whats my next move. im sorry for the trouble im giving you.
No trouble for me, my friend. We're all here to help.
Okay, so I assume you're running Windows here:
1.) Write the CM7 SD .img to your microSD card using the Win32DiskImager tool found in the opening post of the CM7 ROM thread.
2.) After that's finished, open up the Partition Wizard software and find your SD card disk (make sure it's the right one!)
3.) Choose the option to resize the 4th partition of your SD card. Resize it so that all off the unallocated space becomes part of that last partition.
4.) After you're satisfied with that, click the option to apply those changes and wait for it to perform those actions.
5.) You should now be good to put the SD card into your NT and boot up into your new CM7 ROM!

Okay, you're good there. Go to Disk 2, and the 4th partition down. Click on it then click the Move/Resize button on the toolbar of the program. Then just drag the bar all the way across and you will see that you're changing the storage of the 4th partition.
Report back if you get stuck.

No, that 26.09GB is unused right now (unallocated space).
The fourth partition is simply the fourth one down, it has a capacity of 1.30GB. You want to resize that one.

Nook Tablet won't read internal. When plugging in usb message screen from microsoft windows pops up and says You need to format the disk in drive I: before you can use it. Do you want to format it? First thought it was the external card but popped it out. Not the case. I'm on 1.4.0 and running cm7b. I have never updated from 1.4.0. Are there any benefits to updating to 1.4.3? Everything works fine just won't read internal. Before installing I used meghd00t Repartition, Reformat, Restore and Rescue SDcard to go back to stock. (Still rooted apparently). So installed cwm recovery, cm7b and gapps. No problem reading external card just keep getting that jacked up windows message wanting me to format my nook. Thanks for any help or fixes.
If I was you, I wouldn't listen to anything that Windows has to say. Especially about formatting, that would just erase all your data.
What happens when you choose not to format the disk? Nothing at all?

Hey Solar.Plexus,
Everything on the tablet works just fine so far. I've been away from it for 3 or 4 months. Seems like this happened to me before when I bricked it. It seems as though something is kicked out of it somewhere. For instance when going back to stock and going thru the whole sign in it won't let me register with b&n. Don't care about b&n so that's not a problem. Just thought that was why I was never able to get updates and still stuck at 1.40. I just bypass it with the volume up and tapping the screen. Would like to be able to run CM9 on eMMC and CM7 from microSD. But if it doesn't show up not sure what to do. Appears as blank drive letters. Oh well! I remember you now solar. Seems that I posted something months back about the benefits to update and old_fart mentioned something about there is a little box called search. It was a good fun banter. Apparently you got a kick out of it if I remember right. So help me out here please. Are you on 1.4.3?
Appreciate your input my friend.
I actually haven't used stock ROM for a really long time. I currently have CM9 on eMMC and different SD cards with ROMs to use. Let me know what exact dual boot setup you'd like to use and we'll see if we can get it to work out for you.
Who knows, flashing the new ROM might fix the unreadable problem. Regardless, you could probably still use ADB to transfer files to and from your /mnt/media partition.

Sounds like a solid dog deal to me!
Let's try your setup for kicks and see if I can follow along. Not real familiar with Cyanoboot but I know how to push buttons. ADB knowledge a bit limited but somehow manage to figure it out eventually. I'll try not to have too many senior moments with you. I'm ready to crack this puppy open.
Dragging right now so catch up with you later.
Thanks major dude!
Since you already have CWM recovery flashed internally, all you have to do is flash the CM9 ROM and gApps from this post right here to set up your eMMC ROM.
Then to make your CM7 SD ROM, follow the directions under the SD VERSION IMAGE section of this post right here.
After that, you can modify the SD card to use CyanoBoot, the 2nd bootloader. So do this:
1.) Download the CyanoBoot file from this post right here.
2.) Navigate to the first partition (boot partition) of the CM7 SD card you have made.
3.) Replace the old flashing_boot.img with the new flashing_boot.img file you just downloaded.
4.) Done.
Now, anytime you boot up from a completely off state, your NT should* boot from the SD card and go to CyanoBoot, where you can choose which ROM you want to boot into.
*You might need to plug your NT into a wall charger in order to get it to boot from the SD card. Only some NTs require this.

First thanks for taking time to read my post. How I got in my position, cant tell ya . I should of done more research but to tell you the truth I was in love with my crazy cool Nook Tablet running JB and I got careless. Adams Ubuntu sd card it would load a lit black screen and no more left it overnight, nothing .Megd repart .img I would get the red X as soon as it popped up. I never created did the windows version when I tried parted I never got the error just some messed up version of what used to be a partition I had use of adb when in cwm recovery no serial # just 00 Icant mount anything followed Veronicas threads got Ubuntu on virtual box I would be able to do some steps and then I would not be able to load something like sdcard . I thought I had gotten lucky when I found the recovery .img with the tools already loaded. By The way THANK YOU soooo much for taking the time to make cool @SS stuff and let us play!! well I tried loading scripts to sdcard mounts and what not was not getting any thing out of my sdcard. I did the steps were you erase the partitions then remake everything my partitions looked sweet when I reboot nothing sdcard has the partitions and I ast thing I did was used the step to erase that was a few weeks ago I had given up on it .then as a long shot decided to pm Veronica and ask for some help. started trying stuff again loaded cyanoboot from there loaded twrp for some reason I lost my adb I cant load drivers but I can LOad some .img files from cyanoboot so my partitions and mounts are gone adb not working (but I can fix that )I have a sixteen gb nook tablet 1.4.3 rooted with nook and zergy. Is their a rom that I can load from cyanoboots boot menu that will fix everything. wishful thinking
look what i found
I don't know if this helps but I did a cwm back up brfore getting bricked and then I copied my sdcard to my gf's pc I forgot all about it she pointed it out

If you erased (without first backing up) the 2 partitions /rom and /factory then you have wiped out your NT's factory-installed individual device data (MAC address, security encryption keys, serial no., etc.) without which the NT will not function. The backup made using CWM only covers the 4 partitions /boot, /recovery, /system, and /data, so you won't be able to restore this data using CWM backup. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more info.
So trash it.?

Ok so no Nandroid to the rescue I have the serial# with the original paper work ,mac address I should be able to get from my routers history I am grasping at straws here ! I would hate to throw away it was my source of entertainment .I let my daughter use my laptop. work is slow and I cant afford to get another one. well can it be turned into something else another model tablet a game emulator
Any way I appreciate you getting back to me if its trashed its my fault for not asking for help before I was trying to use what the devs had in the forum and not be the noob that gets told to do a better search. lol. Hopefully I will get some good news. If not well thank all of you
If you have an SD card on hand I'd suggest that you first burn a SD image of Succulent's CM10.1 (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/) or CM10.2 (http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/) and see if your NT would boot and run CM off SD card.
If it does boot and run off SD then the device data is probably intact and you can proceed to flash stock or CM internally (or simply just continue to run CM off SD).
If it doesn't I'd suggest you contact @AdamOutler for help with restoring a copy of romdata.zip to your NT's /factory partition.

ok the only thing I have been able to get to work have been recoveries. tried to boot Cm 10.2 sdcard you recommended the sd card did not boot so I used one that loads up CYANOBOOT went into boot menu took that sd card out put in the rom sd go into boot. My nook tablet's screen went black lit internally. Is it loading rom? or am I SOL?
When you boot up the CM10 SDcard it should boot into Cyanoboot which in turn should load SD CM10 ROM (and should indicate that it's "loading SDC ..."), then the screen should black out for up to about 3 min before boot-animation (counter-rotating CM circles) appears.
If Cyanoboot does not appear then the SD card is not bootable (see Notes section of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1 for some potential causes). Also you might have to boot the NT from its power off by inserting a powered USB cable.
If Cyanoboot loads SDC ROM but the screen goes dark for over 5 min then the CM10 boot has failed.
Tried and tried no luck
Thank you for your time

hey wantd to thank you for the help you provided, my old nook was possesed wound up breaking charging port frying the battery lol total dissaster... believe it or not all my devices are rooted and rommed that nook just got away from me. long story short bought the same model 1.4.3 16 gb off of craigslist for $ 40 had iy running cm7 10 minutes after i got it home ran for a day installed Succulents cm 10.0 then downloaded cm 10.1.3 from cyanogenmod had to flash gapps twice besides adb being offline everything is groovy!I am not sure if its repartitioned rite I have 5.50 gb internal 7.45.45gb internal my big microsdc are all corrupt so im using a 2gb (work is slow so gonna have to wait for a 16gb). Is there anything cool I can add mods kernel;to make it even better shoot me a message or reply if anything comes to mind
First i need to thank @digixmax @raywaldo and @chrmhoffmann
Without the tools and guides created by them my nook would be still in bootloop or with the stock B&N soft (eww)
My nook crashed after a TWRP recovery flash gone wrong (TWRP Manager), so i had to flash repart.img (stock B&N).
After that my nook was alive again but without touch (multitouch firmware installed).
Below it´s how i went from stock to CM11, but i'm not responsible for any bricked nooks so...
1.Using a disk partition tool, s create a primary FAT32 partition, and set it as active on the MicroSD that you will use to boot, and remember that the card will be wiped so don´t use your mom´s camera card.
2. A. Download (attached to this post) "NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip" and extract all the files to the root of your SDCard.
B. flashable_TWRP_2.6.3.1.zip @ https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xjwc1a482a6ll/Nook_Tablet
C. CM11 http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim
D. Gapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857 or
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The files in step 2A MUST be on the card root, B to D can be inside a folder but it´s not needed
3. Eject the card from your computer, and install it in your nook. Power it up.
4. It will boot and show the box screen then straight to TWRP 2.7.1.0.
In TWRP go to WIPE -> Advanced wipe -> Check all except Internal storage and Micro SDcard.
After it´s done wiping, go back to start screen and Install CM11, Gapps and last the flashable recovery.
Click reboot -> Power off
5. Remove SDcard from nook and power on.
If everything went correct you will see cyanoboot and after booting CyanogenMod.

Not sure if you can help with this but after following your instructions I find myself stuck. I have an 8 gb NT and can't seem to make the device boot with the formatted and loaded SD in the SD card slot on the device. I'm not sure why but it just won't boot while it's in there. The card is fine as I was using it before (It's a 4 gb sandisk). Any help would be appreciated.

Root?
I just finished updating my 16gb Nook Tablet with this guide, using the latest nightly CM11 build.
In the past, I thought CM builds are pre-rooted, but this isn't.
I rechecked my options in TWRP (bootable on an SD card) and CMW (installed on emmc)... I recall a brief moment where TWRP asked me about root access, but I don't recall where...
Can anyone point me in the right direction to establishing root?
Any input is appreciated.
(I suppose I could wipe and reflash if necessary as well)
** Self edit - Latest nightly (installed from CM update) established root.

So I am just coming into here wanting to root my 16GB Nook Tablet version 1.4.3. I have been looking around the forums for a bit and have not found a specific thread outlining what I need to do. Well most of them are old and I am not sure which ones to follow.
The first thing I need to do is establish root, but how exactly do I go about that. Most of the video tutorials are dead links. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks is an understatement!
In response to OP and idivorceyou:
I had a very similar situation myself. Read many/most of the other 10.x & 11 guides; all seemed to reference the same stuff. Could not get a custom card to work. Suspect that I had downloaded a bad .zip (or two). Found this guide and figured it was worth a shot. Card booted first try and everything worked as written.
Hope those looking for a quick solution find this post sooner than I did.
Has anyone successfully accomplished this installation on the 8GB Nook Tablet?
I've been having massive amounts of trouble getting mine to boot from the SD card. I'd like to give this a try if it will in fact work with both the 8 and 16GB NTs.
Cheers!

Recent CM10/11 should work on both 8GB and 16GB NTs.
See pointers/tips in section "Making a Bootable Recovery SDcard" of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575489.

Thanks, digixmax! I know some things only work with the 16GB model and I didn't want to brick.
I'll get cracking on it.
So on a whim, I decided to try this guide to go completely CM11 on the Nook. Had a little trouble getting a bootable SD card, but worked that out. After the wipe, and then using TWRP to flash the nightly CM11 - it looked like it completed, but then gave an error saying it was unable to mount /bootdata. I repeated the flashing a couple of times and it still had that message. Flashing gapps and the flash TWRP gave me the same error message. But then after rebooting the device - it does boot to CM11 using the internal storage! It works OK, it seemed like it was freezing a lot and so I enabled Developer access, and then put a limit of "2" on background processes - that seemed to fix the freezing. But now, when installing some applications/games from the Google Play store, getting a message that I need an SDCard. I'm going to try putting in an SDCard later to see if that works...but wondering if we should have partitioned the internal storage? Its a 16GB nook, so maybe two partition with the last one being /DATA? Anyone run into this issue? Thanks.

Did you do a "wipe /data & factory reset"?

This issue of dependency on external SD in CM11 has been reported and discussed on these forums (e.g., just search the Official NT CM11 thread).
You'd need to go back to 10.1 or 10.0 to be able to run any app without an external SD.

Thank you digixmax! Yes, I did do a full wipe using TWRP (per the instruction in OP's post). And yeah, I put in an external SD card, it works fine now.

Just wanted to send out a thank you to everyone who continues to work on these relatively outdated devices. Although this thread is for CM11, I just loaded CM10.0 internally onto my wife's unused Nook Tablet (16 gig, v.1.4.3) as a gift for my retired father. I posted here because I used the TWRP boot files provided in this thread (NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip), and was previously having problems getting booted correctly (trying CM11 and CM10). I also used the general steps in Digimax's 10.x guide (e.g. backing up the old system, using the older, flashable CWM 6.0.2.x and GApps for CM10.0), and Succulent's final, supposedly quite stable CM10.0 (12/31) build (also pulled from another thread, not the CM site). Given my father's and the tablet's age, I figured system stability was more important than anything else so went with CM10.0 instead of CM11. Everything appears to be running great, cat videos and all.
A few newbie notes relevant to this process (for probably CM11 and CM10). I could not get a bootable microSD card working using Digimax's guide (see the error mentioned in his note i.b, although files did not appear corrupted by examining file size). I wonder if it had to do with the large microSD card I used (32 gig) -- I could swear I remember reading that bigger cards have some issues -- or the additional boot.img file provided by Rpadula in his NT-TWRP-KK-SD.zip. When things did work for me, I had both set the partition size to 2 gb on the microSD card and used files in Rpadula's zip, so it is unclear what made the difference. I also ran into the mounting and zip installation error described above, but after allowing TWRP to grant me root access -- an option presented during restart after wiping -- and restarting the nook, the files installed fine (again, unclear whether or not root access or restarting made the difference).
Thanks again all!

For a noobie this was pretty straight forward for building the SDCard. I am in CM11 on my Nook Tablet! I am having one issue though and I don't know if this is the best place to ask - I am getting "Browser as stopped working" and "Google Account Manager has stopped working" anytime I try to login to my google account or even open the stock web browser. I have tried rebooting and wiping. I also did some digging and found this may be related to a webview issue and tried flashing a fix I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50122471&postcount=2161 but still no luck. Can anyone help me get past this bug?
Thank you for your work on this.

I used the advanced wipe in TWRM as described in OP. Could it be related to a bad GApps zip I grabbed? The link in OP was closed so I got it from somewhere else (using gapps-custom-pico-4.4zip). Not sure if that could affect the Browser too though. Also, after every package I installed I got "E:/Unable to mount '/bootdata'. This obviously didn't affect me getting CM11 on there, but just throwing some more info out there.
Edit: I did a full wipe and reinstalled without GApps and I can't test the Google Account Manager now but the Browser works. What GApps zip would you recommend for this build?

I'd suggest you try the Gapps at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps (the "small" version should suffice), the apps are a bit dated but after installation can be updated (via Google Playstore) to their most current version..
