done that.
Yea I tried that I must have been doing it wrong though I would get everything built but it would be in my micro sdcard not on my nook. I am sure I am doing something wrong just cant figure out what. Anyway thanx for the thread!!!!
To get help, you need to provide more info: e.g., what error condition/message you got when trying out the various fixes.

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.?

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

for this fix, you will need to have a CWM sdcard ready and waiting followed by and drivers properly installed for your tablet.
YOU MUST have CWM running from sdcard to fix this issue. Otherwise nothing will happen.
instructions to install to sdcard are here (I suggest using windows)
Needed files for download:
just download this zip and run the script while booted into cwm from sdcard.
download it here.
Instructions: Boot from sd (don't worry, it will work), ensure sdcard is mounted, and then you just run the fix.bat from the computer after extracting.
Credits: Succulent for the xloader image
Fattire for the idea that it might have formatted mmcblk0p1 (which it dead instead of mmc1)
You're welcome.
Might want to add that the cause of the "brick" appears to be that CM7 is confusing mmc1 and mmc0 and instead of wiping the first partition of the SD card, it's presumably wiping the first partition of the emmc, which contains the x-loader.
I already have said it.
Ah okay... well glad everything is fixed now.

Hi Indirect. I see that you have fixed your NT. I did not use sd i did install cm7 internally but i did format all the mounts . And now it just restarts in CWM. What should i do. Any idea please
Well guys, I'm still having problems. I ran the brick fix before you updated it - didn't work. I then re-ran after you updated it - still didn't work. It'll boot to CWM from SD, but won't boot to any ROM. Tried re-installing CM7 (didn't work), then I tried the Nook141root.zip which supposedly installs the BN 1.4.1 from CWM (also didn't work). Tried re-running the brick fix a handful of times after and before installing each ROM with no luck. Then I tried running it without installing a ROM. Tried the brick fix then I tried the BN 1.4.0 restore file. I tried on multiple freshly formatted SD cards and I even tried on a computer I was working on with a fresh install of Win7 with a fresh install of the drivers just to rule that out.
Before all this I had CWM and CM7 installed internally - if that makes a difference. Ideas?
Edit: More info. When trying to wipe data/factory reset in CWM I get the errror "E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"...this occurs right after rebooting from the brick fix.
Edit 2: More info yet...in the brick fix I'm getting the text "error: device not found" twice right after entering "y" then again a handful of times later. Is there anything special I have to do in CWM to get it to detect it? I have sdcard mounted...
Im geting this and then my nt restarts by itself and then im back in cwm again so nothing is fixed.

Actually with mine it does not matter . I get till the step y or n without mounting nothing. Than i mount the sd card and press y and enter.
Than as u can see does try to write something and than my nook does reboot .
And the ending is the same. So no progress so far.

Were you running from internal or SD when it bricked?
Does it boot to CWM on it's own without an sd in the slot? If it does have you tried restoring/flashing a backup?
Reason I say about the backup is I just bricked my own systems on purpose when running from sdcard, it kept gpoing back to CWM after the xloader was returned to it. Restored an original backup and all is well again

Yes i have had it internally.Not in an sd.
Yes mine doew boot to CWM on its own without and sd in slot. And yes i have tried restoring to re flash back up. Cause i have installed CM7 once and it did run well. But than after installing some programs became slow so i wanted to redo it again. And than i did format all: bootdata, cache, emmc, rom, system,sd-ext.
And then i installet cm7 again and all the installing went well againg . But it just want start cause is missing something in one of the mounts. So what i think is only needed if ill be able to restore the data that is in all those small partitions like emmc. I know that bootdata,and cached gets backed up but i dont know if the orthers are backed up or not.
Thanks for trying to help.
Edit: I have to go to university now. But if it would make it easier for you to help, I can shot a video afterwards with all the steps what i have done and how is my nook behaving now.Just let me know .
Edit1: I did try to restore to stock or update to 1.4.1 but it tells me MD5 mismatch.
Is it possible that i can push in with adb the files that are in the boot data, eMMc and other mounts i mean one by one.
I was running internal when it bricked. Only boots to cwm from SD now.

I'm in the same boat...I think when we did a format of the rom partition, we lost some data that was not backed up...That being said I have done a lot of reading and I think all hope is not lost.
We did not format the "factory" partition which from what I have been reading may contain a backup of the "rom" and other partitions.
I wonder if it is possible to pull the data from the factory partition, extract the data that we need and then push the appropriate files back to where they belong? It's way beyond my expertise, although I do have ADB working and I think if someone could point us in the right direction, it wouldn't be that difficult...I could be completely off base though...Good Luck and If I make any progress I'll make sure I pass the info along.

I got the bloody ADB issue.... I was able to boot to CWM from SD card, and it's mounted. BUT! Adb devices gives me nothing, no device. I did all the troubleshooting of the driver, i got the "Android composite ADB interface" device but still no adb device appearing. Please help! My only idea if this fix can be incorporated into a flashable zip. May be there is some other way?
Thanks.

I had thought about a flashable zip. I will look shortly and build one
I tried repartitioning my nook and it really bricked it now. It won't boot from SD. Tried a different card and fresh download of CWM. I think it's totally borked.
Edit for clarification: repartitioned from within CWM on SD
Edit2: Tried a 3rd card (first 2 were 32gb, 3rd was 16gb) and it let me back into CWM. ADB still isn't working though.
Edit2 clarification: I only say ADB isn't working because the brick fix says device not found. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.

Mne does not say that but it restarts my nook. But it does not fix it. I think its just some small starting files missing. But im not so good so i cant help it. So im just sitting and watching around internet if there is any fix. It looks that they have had the same problem with NC to start with to.
I have an 8GB Nook Tablet and made the foolish mistake of attempting to try and root it with acclaim-update.zip. Now my Nook will no longer boot and I've tried every unbricking method available. No progress was made.
I was a bit too eager to eager and rushed headfirst into it without researching it more thoroughly. If there's no fix for it, then that's fine. I just wanted to run through ever resource possible before giving up on it. I have spent the past few hours scouring the internet and coming up with little to nothing.
Have you tried booting CM7 from sdcard?
What things have you tried to make it boot?
Sent from my Nook Tablet using xda premium
Shouldn't you just be able to put the unmodified acclaim_update.zip on your sdcard? It should work and fix your nook. When you put the sdcard in, make sure the device is off, and then connect it to the power adapter to get it to turn on
IF its completly dead/ erased boot erea then your only option will be jtag.

So far I've tried the Ubuntu method of unbricking it, factory reset, and booting with the 1.4.2 zip file to return it to factory settings. None of them have worked.
But I'll try CM7 and see if it works.
Am in the the same shoes... got a bricked NT 8GB... looking forward to restoring 1.4.2...
attempts to restore the firmware to factory:
Cyanoboot + altboot + B&N 1.4.2
Followed guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562130 , using (a) the img from dropbox and (b) nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip from B&N. No luck. The process stops on the initial screen on cyanoboot, where it shows 'Loading (sd)...'. I don't even get to enter the menu that shows the boot options.
flashing_boot + B&N 1.4.2 update in ext3 partition
Next I downloaded the img link above, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24912163&postcount=5 , no luck also, the tick appeared on the flash 'Installing new software' screen after 4 minutes. After I removed the mSD card, the NT did a data cleanse, and got an error message about 40% into the factory restore prompting me to contact B&N. It then goes into the reboot loop (this is where I am now).
Ubuntu unbrick
No luck. NT don't even boot up to mSD with the mSD card slotted in.
I've tried the above multiple times, downloading the files few times as well. Am still stuck in the reboot loop.
Would like to seek help from gurus here for pointers... Am stuck at this point.
Thanks alot!

Can you get to CWM using Indirect's NT-CWM-SD package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
Get a micro SD card, fire up gParted (or whatever partition manager), put a new MSDOS partition table on it. Then make a new FAT32 partition at the beginning of the disk. Set the boot and lba flags. Copy the contents of Indirect's zip onto the disk. Stick it in the NT. Hold power + n for 10 seconds and wait for the grey "n" to show up on the screen for a second. Then turn it on.
If that takes you to CWM, then you've got options.
using a properly formatted SD card should solve most issues.. its the great thing about the nook.
1.make sure your using a good SD card. sandisk 8gb class and up would be best
2. make sure you grab the 8gb nook cm7 image.
3. preferably use a component based card reader. by that i mean one other then a laptops.. the laptop ones tend to be picky and lots of people in the nook color days had issues and most were resolved by using a computer one over a laptop one
4. with the nook OFF plug the usb cable into the nook then into the usb port on a computer
check out stickies too

Negative. I wish you were correct but - in this case - you are not.
Your advice is probably appropriate for those who cannot get an SDCard to boot properly. However, the O.P. has a bricked device and his original post is most descriptive. His NT8 will not boot to the INTERNAL EMMC. (I have the same problem.)
There are several of us here on XDA who are not novices with this issue. The O.P. has listed the various steps that he has followed and they are much more involved than a simple SDCard format issue.
BTW, most formatting issues are when users are attempting to format with Windows. I use Linux exclusively and I can ALWAYS build a boot SDCard without issues.
Also in the same boot as the O.P.
I also am having this problem. Been going through it for mths now. I've tried every possible fix people could come up with. I have been talking to a youtuber albertwertz. he would like me to send in my nook tablet to him to fix and try out different things. I would like to but cant afford it at the moment. Dang I hope someone finds a fix for this or make a cm9 sd bootale img or something dont get me wrong i like booting cm7 from sd but is this all im subject too. HELP SOMEONE. what are these developers working on. lets get this fix my people. PS thanks for all you all hard work on all roms.
Lost Nook 1.4.0 partition
Hi, Lavero.
I think I may have accidentally deleted the default nook partition. I can still boot up via SDCard and goes into CM7. How can I recover those default partition? Do you have those commands within Terminal Emulator or any other options?
If I do not put in my SDCard, with power cable connected, the nook tablet 16GB keep rebooting. I still want to recover my Nook default OS so that I can repartition it the next time I go to BN.
Hope to hear from you. Thanks.
hi new to the forums so please be nice. i have a nook tablet 1.4.0 which was rooted before with the first cm7 release im guessing. well yeah i recently gone back to college and wanted to update my nook so i wanted to delete everything to restore it to stock, idk what program i used or what i did but it didnt work. i think by that time i was stuck on a boot loop where the n logo just goes on and off after that i saw a thread about a total wipe by using ubuntu i tried that and it worked perfectly i was back in stock. my stupidy lead me to want cm7 back since the apps in nook tablet stock wont let me read the books i have online. as soon as i tried to get cm7 i was stuck in a boot loop again i wanted to see if the ubuntu thing was gonna be the solution for my stupidity but this time it didnt work. it was stuck in "writing all zeros". i tried another boot loop solution by ray waldo it didnt work. i can still run cwm but it has some errors in the background saying "can't mount recovery/command/log/log/last_log/last_log. i want my tablet back just to get it to stock is the best solution i would want and i would just keep it that way. ty for your time.

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.

i have a cm7 booted in a sd card (32 gb) im guessing you cant take the sd card off and you cant use the sd card for storage purposes because it has cm7 files in it. or is there a way to get it back that idk about? ty for your reply btw.

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.

ok sorry is the 4th partition the 26.09 gb unallocated?
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.
Hi everyone,
First time poster so be easy! I have poured over these forums for a couple of days to try to find a fix for my problem. So far I've found a lot of things to try but none seem to work.
I have an 8gig Nook Color Tablet that somehow I deleted the EMMC partition during a flash from the SD card. I was running Cyanogenmod 10.1. Now all that happens is it comes up in Clockwork recovery. Here's what I've tried in an attempt to fix it:
Tried the BN_142_recovery.zip file from the SD card. It boots and starts to install, then gives the RED X.
I've plugged the device into my computer and used ADB to check the partitions. I ran parted /dev/block/mmcblk0. It did find errors and fix the partitions.
I've created both a bootable Clockwork mod and TWRP SD card and tried to install every recovery I can think of from the forums here. That includes the Adam's live Ubuntu (doesn't work on 8 gigs it would seem), Brickfix.zip, every partition fixer I could find for tablets (most seem to be for nook color so I didn't try those)
I've tried booting into Cyanogenmod off an SD card, run goo manager to download an internal image and flash it that way.
So far it all comes back with "unable to mount /emmc/". Forgive if the forum answer is there but i have searched since Saturday and either I've over looked it, or I didn't think it applied to me and maybe I'm wrong. Thanks!

Wow you've tried everything I can pretty much think of. Have you just tried using the SDC image file? Write it to an SD and boots cm10. You can check your internal partitions by using the file manager then.

Here's a picture of my internal partitions.
You should all of the following partitions (ex ROM, bootdata etc.) Rom /devconf is the location of your device information. Thats serial and MAC address and such.
If you have the partitions then maybe you just have a bad boot image.

Since you got the SD Boot to work can you connect to the internet? Either check in your internet settings or your rom/devconf folder to check if your MAC Address is there or not( you can also check other device info from rom/devconf.)

I don't understand why you would get the red x during your repaprt.. that's usually caused by bad boot or ROM partition. If you're fine using an SD image everything will work fine for you. There's images for CM10.1 if you'd rather have that. It runs just as fast as internal.

Looks like I spoke to soon! It booted up into the Nook firmware once but now it's back to the red X. Weird! Well I can run it from the SD card for now since that works. Is there anything that can be done to fix the boot or ROM partition?

Ok the plot thickens, but maybe this is helpful. I checked the file manager again and now looking in the ROM directory in root, there's NOTHING in there except a file called MAX17042.bin. What it's doing now is going to the N on the boot screen, you see "Read Forever" for half a second, then it says "A problem has occured. Please restart or contact customer service if it continues". So it's trying to get to the nook firmware now instead of Clockwork, but I'm still stuck

Odd because your internet still works... if you get the problem occurred error its usually the boot partition not there.
I would just use SDC image. You might mess it up more if you try anything else.

Actually I have one other question! If I have a nook here that's rooted internally and working properly, is there any way I can make a backup of its entire contents and dump it onto the dead one? They're both identical.

Yeah you can make a backup in your recovery program (cwm or twrp) then transfer the backup to the other, boot into recovery and restore.
Hi guys. I am reading that you are having problems still and noticed a small detail in your OP. You state that you have a "Nook Color Tablet". Are you aware that the Nook Color is a different device than the Nook Tablet, and therefore the ROMs etc are different? Are you sure you are on the right forum? This is the Nook TABLET forum, not the Nook COLOR forum. OK so I didn't take the time to follow the thread line by line here, but I did notice this possible discrepancy in your OP. Just making sure you are seeking answers in the right place. Forgive me if I am pointing out something you already know.

Hi Snooch,
Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't even notice. I definitely have the Nook Tablet TABLET. Just a typo on my part. Sorry for any confusion!
So if I'm understanding this correctly about the backup, I can take a Nook tablet that's rooted internally, boot off an SD card with clockworkmod and make a backup of that. Then boot off the card from the dead nook and restore that backup, and that should hopefully correct it? Then from there I should be able to restore the stock Barnes and Noble image. So far it's running fine on flash so I'm not too concerned. My father is using it though so I wanted the stock firmware on there just in case he happens to wander in Barnes and Noble with a technical problem and forgets to take the card out!

It may work to sort of repartition your dead nook. However if it is true that it backups all partitions then the serial number and Mac address would be the same. You'd have to have different ones in able to use the internet. But that shouldnt be a problem since the dead nook can run the SD card and use internet.
I've never made a backup using cwm, so I'm not sure if it backups everything or just data and sdcard. Its worth a try to move the data over to the dead nook.

The backup function of Recovery typically back up 4 partitions of the NT emmc: /boot, /recovery, /system, and /data. Depending on the particular Recovery program (CWM vs. TWRP) and its specific version the backup function can optionally backup the /cache partition.

Hi everyone!
Sorry to bring up an older thread but I have good news! I had to wait until I ran across another 8 gig tablet. Well, luckily my friend got an 8 gig nook tablet just last week. I took a bootable SD card with clockwork mod on it, and made a backup of it. Then I put that in the dead nook and booted off, restored the backup and PRESTO! The default firmware for the nook tablet has been restored! The only problem now is the serial and MAC address are missing. I'll do some more research on that with these forums.
Thanks for everyone's help so far.

You can't use backups from other nooks, it causes internal info problems. You should have used a repart image if you wanted to restore stock...
Your serial number and Mac address are on your device. S/n in your SD flap if you can read it, Mac address on the inside of your nook (network/WiFi card most likely ). Use a SDC image to load cm10 and start the file manager. First go to ROM/devconf to find device information and enter your serial number and Mac address.
