Its not bricked unless you entered recovery and formatted the system (or other partition) .
If you are trying to get back to stock, create bootable SD card recovery, and factory reset. That should do it. Do not format rom.or any partition you're unsure of coz you might brick it.
If you're looking to upgrade to cm, download a rom and flash it. (Look for roms and instructions in development section)

Satan posted while I was writing.
Do what he suggests, and if that doesn't work (I'm sure it does!):
Try the unbrick "repart.img" if it's OK to completely wipe the unit and return it to 1.4.0
A search should let you find it easy enough.

and can I upgrade as you have suggested to other roms from the current state of my nook ?

Well all roms are great, but make a bootable cwm from that link you posted, (I'd suggest the method 2 in first post, will give you bootable cwm5) and install cm7, since its the only rom that can be installed from cwm5. Once its up and working (and you're relieved that its not paperweight) , you can update recovery and flash newer roms.

You should be able to but from cwm try selecting factory reset first, if you want stock

Assuming if you don't want go back to stock, I'd suggest go for a CM10 ROM (as CM7 and CM9 never got passed beta (I used to have same kind of problems with CM7 you are having) and both are no longer supported). You can use the process outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1 to flash any CM10 ROM you choose: just substitute in that ROM's zip file in step 2(c).

It will do this (booting from internal emmc /boot) if it does not find a bootable SD card (e.g., a card created via steps 1 and 2(a) in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1).
