OK I bought the nook already bricked, so if it can't be fixed no big deal since I knowingly bought it bricked. I'll try anything...
From what I can see is that it does not have any partitions. Not even mmcblk0..I have tried pushing an mmcblk0 from an 8gb Nook (I know I have a 16gb) but it fails saying "not enough space" I noticed it says I only have 455 mb when I type df-h in ADB shell. I've tried recreating the mmcblk0 but nothing. It will not even boot CM7 or CM10 from sdcard.
I have tried almost everything but if anybody is willing to help I'm all ears.
P.S. I'm going to try and bring Liquid Smooth to the nook if I can unbrick this thing.
Thanks for reading!
Did you boot into SDcard from power-off state and by inserting a powered USB cable? Many NTs, like mine, can only boot into SD using this method.

Perhaps you can try the CM10 SD image from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/, just in case your current CM7 or CM10 SD card is not bootable due to improper format or content.

It is bootable. When it boots past the N it just goes to a blank screen.

The partition information will be different in the 8 and 16gb models for a did image,but you can pull a 16 and alter it down to a 8gb and vise versa, this is apply able to most devices in one way or another.
Anyway back on point, you would need to start using a lot of Linux if you are not already to do this work but it can be done via virtual machine up to a point. I would suggest your start is, get to boot to a recovery mode with adb compiled in, from there you can start a rebuild of the internal memory using backups and dd' pulls from other devices.
My debrick thread covers the theory of using files on disk(backups) as block devices for the purpose of rebuilding partition structures, I've also posted arm compiled tools for the purpose or rebuilding the emmc/sdcard partition structures.
Oh, if you backed up the internal memory using dd and transfer it to another machine you could possibly figure out what went wrong too,

I would have expected at a minimum for Cyanoboot (flashing_boot.img) to come up right after the flashing "N" and before the black screen (the boot sequence being MLO, u-boot.bin, flashing_boot.img and finally boot.img (CM10) assuming these files are all present on your SD 1st partition and not corrupted for some reason).
Have you tried the method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562130 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836?? I usually do not suggest these as it's not clear if/how they preserve the to-be-rescued NT's device-specific data in the /rom partition and /factory partition, but if your NT partitions are deemed totally shot, you probably have nothing to lose trying them out.

I don't own a nook but I know recovery so these ideas of mine are pointers, the next step is get hold of a partition table of the original nook, the same as your device, there is a few text copies of it's layout out there, from other I have some tools to turn those text files into useable partition data. From there we Use the data on the sdcard to fix your boot in on internal emmc/sdcard/nand.
My recovery link has more info for those that like to read.

You're better off waiting. They discovered a bug that causes the device to be bricked if you format the SD card. There's a fix for said brick, but it's still something that shouldn't be out in the wild.

So far yes but truth is that eather with warnings or not people(noobs) could still do it lol so... to put an example i have read of 2 guys who wiped all the partitions off course they bricked their device (Judge for yourself).
So let devs work, test more and fix bugs, anyway there are some other bugs too and it other features aren't supported yet like Bluetooth, microphone, etc. I personally stay away of alphas but this time i tested support of apps and few other things but nothing major because i know there can be risks.

The bug is on both versions, and occurs if you try to format/erase the SD Card through the CM7 storage menu. So theoretically as long as you don't do that, you're fine, but I understand the hesitance to share a file that could potentially brick someone's device.
I was using the internal version, and experienced the SD format brick.
After recovering, I've continued to use CM7, primarily because when I tried to go back to the 1.4.1 + root image that's floating around here, I couldn't install market apps anymore. Tablet would reboot every single time I've tried. So I went back to CM7, just reminding myself to never, ever, ever erase the SDcard through the mod.
If you are not careful
I have been very cautious and lucky so far. I Rooted my Nook Tab back in late November by following ADB instructions and then applied many different tweaks including build.prop etc. All directions in these forums must be followed explicitly and you MUST have some working knowledge of ADB and a general understanding of how computers work. I have read every post in this forum and spent many hours researching how the devs were trying to circumvent the bootloader using various exploits. I did try to inject the Chainfire 3D wrapper as to be able to play Tegra Games and got caught in a boot loop and had to factory restore. Over all, I have been very careful. I have read in the forum that others have tried to apply CM7 update by trying to flash the cm7.ZIP file. It is very lucky for these people that in Clock Work Mod (CMW) this mode does not format the internal memory, it just writes to the System/app folder or to the folder that is specified inside the zip file. It is easy to get excited around buzz words like CM7 and CM9. But it is important to net let it go to your head and research thouroughly before hack-a-lackin your tablet. I am very grateful that the Devs rethought the CWM flasher and added the hash checksum so that someone with a bad connection didn't flash a partially downloaded file. I have CM7 on my Nook. Luckily, I didnt try to format an SD card with the Nook, I used an external card reader. The most important thing is, the Devs and the End Users are all going down unfamiliar territory. Research is the WORD. Happy Hacking!!!

Did you not make a backup?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

Now my internal SD seems extremely cluttered with a 0 folder similar to the main one.
Is there a simple way to clean this up?
FWIW I did flash the new Beans 18 build then flash the downgrade earlier today, however I am currently on a restored backup of Beans 17.
I have considered flashing back to stock and then rooting again to make it all clean, but that won't take care of the unused and duplicate folders in my internal storage...right?!

Easiest way would be to use a file explorer and copy/paste anything from /0 you want to keep over to the correct sdcard location. Then you can just delete the /0 folder.

I haven't used ES in a long long long time. If it will allow you full R/W privileges like Root Explorer you should be able to do it but I honestly don't know about ES because I use Root Explorer. Maybe the post about boring into recovery would work.

^ This is the way to go. Just get rid of everything and start over. Although make sure to have the rom on your external sd so after you wipe internal you have the rom to flash. I do it when I get bored and want to clear out old app folders

If I needed to clear the internal, I would remove important files and then do an internal storage wipe on a clean Rom from twrp.
Current device:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Retired devices:
Huawei Ascend, Droid Charge, Droid Bionic
I used this wipe application called Zoot's wipe script, it has the Aroma wipe installer in it. This has several wiping variations but the big wipe is the Mega Wipe. Make sure you transfer all your important files to your external sd card because this Mega Wipe will wipe your internal memory clean to where you have 10gb free again. (For me on Verizon we only can get the 16gb gnote2, so after Touch Wiz sucks up the memory it needs you only have about 10gb free) Download this zip file and when you flash into recovery, I use TWRP, this can be used on Clock work too. flash this zip file and select Mega to clean out your internal sd. Super Wipe can be used to flash different roms too.

I use internal system wipe in twrp... Works great

They started making those years ago and they just haven't stopped because people think they do more than just wiping in TWRP, which they don't.

CWM and was wiping everything via cwm and still all of the folders reappear! do i need to use TWRP???
I rooted my HTC last night with a couple of hiccups but got there eventually. Now I am trying to transfer files from computer (Win8, and I have tried Win7) to my HTC (the ROM I want to run) I see the copying pop up window that Win8 and 7 give you but no file transfer takes place it just hangs there. When I try to move a file from the HTC to the computer I get an unspecified error. File transfers worked fine last night in the rooting process but now I get nothing.
1. Try a new cord
2. Make sure your not using a hub
3. Usb 3.0 has been reported to have problems
4. Have you tried transferring a small file on WiFi

I am attempting to use AirDroid to transfer files now here is the issue I am having, there is no SD Card in the HTC so it appears there is no place to put or take files from. What am I doing wrong? Moved USB cable from hub to computer still nothing. Looking at the root of the HTC from File Explorer it says SD Card is not mounted, is that the problem? If so how do I mount it. Thanks for the help Now I am being told there is not enough room I have to assume it is some kind of mount/unmount issue
Which Rom are you using?

Clockwork right now was using TWRP and rooted I did load a Kernel last night only because the instructions I read said you would lose root if you didnt. Bulletproof is the one I used could that be causing the issue
First go into your settings, scroll to storage,tell me what the phone says.

Also you may need to boot into recovery and see if recovery can read your storage. You may just need to install a
Stock Rom to give you a fresh start.

This is interesting I just went to download the bets version of Swift Key Cloud and I got
An SD Card is required to Download so nothing is seeing it now
Really? I'm missing something then. Because you are stock, rooted, with a custom recovery running bulletproof kernal. Your recovery can't mount and read anything the card. The phone doesn't recognize internal memory. Do a factory reset. The only other option I can think of is to use the Usb to go option to load a new Rom and try to see if maybe you had a bad download with the kernel

When I look at the root directory with Root Explorer I see sdcard however it tells me it is not mounted so in not so technical terms it looks like a sheet of paper as opposed to a file folder

Yes, there a cord you can buy that allows you to attach a usb stick to the phone through the charging port. If you still have the kernel file on your device I would recommend, redownloading- replacing the kernel file and installing through recovery. If not, you need Usb 2 go to get a different kernel loaded up and to return completely to stock if it turns out to be a hardware issue.

Btw I believe that you had a bad kernel flash, that's why your storage disappered. Reflash a kernel and you shouldbe good to go.

Tried to use USB to go and got mount directory could not be created.
Tried Stick Mount as well and got Active Mounts:None
At this point I have no way to return to stock...
Is the kernel still on your phone though?

Yes and I tried to re install it but when I try to read sd it is still not mounted
I was going to take a stab at side loading a ROM to no avail
Yeah those won't work if the storage is unrecognized.

Okay so I tried to push a ROM to the SDCARD and it had appeared to work. I went into TWRP and it was there to flash only I got a bad zip error

Now I tried again and got cannot stat (file name) no such file or directory
The worse thing about this is the darn HTC Sync Manager sees the phone fine

Where are the CWM Recovery backups stored? I think I've looked everywhere but can't find them. They restore ok from the recovery view but can't find them in any file explorer. Most of them I have on internal sdcard but the clockworkmod folder is empty
EDIT: autocorrect mistake in thread title

ckeck in / mnt / shell / emulated / ClockworkMod / backup
The path you're looking for is /data/media/ClockworkMod/backup I believe, haven't seen the other but of course it could also be right.

I'm almost positive that's where I found mine a couple weeks ago, and I'm running 4.4...[EDIT: both paths take you to the same thing, just checked] It shouldn't matter what version, as per below.
An explanation as to why it's not where you think it is.
After 4.1 (correct version?) introduced multi user, internal storage is separated into numbered folders for each user, starting with 0 - the first user (ie usually only user on phones). Since CWM uses the root of the SD card instead of following this new format, most apps cannot find the backup since they access the 0 folder of int storage.

4.1 didnt introduce multi user. It is 4.3. Also. I tried the directory u said. Nth. Its wat the first directory was given is correct.

Both mnt/shell and data folders are empty. This is wierd because I've checked so many paths and still can't find it... Am I doing something wrong?

I'm dumb didn't turn on root explorer. The first directory is correct. Thank you all for help.
