Bricked Noob Nook - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I had my device rooted about a year ago, came back from Afghanistan and it updated and unrooted. Attempted to redo it and looks like i bricked my nook.
Any1 willing to remote in and fix my nook...? i've read just about all the stuff on here and cant figure it out. Thanks to anyone who would be willing to spend a few min and help.

Try the repart.img burned to sd-card.

So i followed the instructions and get to the point where my **** is bricked... I get the "fail" part of that link listed, so i follow it to the help links below that, but it gets into ADB push and stuff like that... so i google for a hour or 2 on how to do it. Which leads me to my ADB drivers dont work correctly, so i try to fix them for about and hour... and im back to the point where i need some advanced help....

Is there anyone willing to help me out with this? Let me know, ty guys

I'd suggest burning a CM10.x pre-made SDcard image (e.g., cm_acclaim_10.1_21APR2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z from Succulent's repo http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/) and see if your NT can successfully boot and run a ROM from SDcard. If it does then you can proceed to restoring stock ROM (or flashing CM10) internally on emmc.
Also, refrain from reformatting any partition (other than possibly /cache, /system, /data, if you have good reason to do so and know what you're doing), as you risk making the problem worse -- see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31.

Much thanks for the attempt. But after trying everything you siad (and following them to dozen of other stuff) still no fix.
Basically i need help to re-write my emmc partions it seems. Is this correct?
I can get it to boot to CWM from a SD card, but no further.

---

Additional info -
I cant get ADB to work at all, it boots into CWM (CWRM?) where i can apply update.zip and all that stuff, but ADB doesnt list my device (i tried on 2 different computers). Was thinking my drivers were messed up or something, but in device manager it lists my device as a E: and F: (emmc and SD card?) so i dont really know where to go from here.... fml

Follow the guide for setting up the SD card. Get to the last step:
wait until device boot into recovery.
This never happens, it shows me the "n" and reboots over and over.

Do you have another SD Card to try? I had the same problem getting mine to boot from SD after I updated it to 1.4.3 (ages ago), but trying a different SD Card fixed the issue.
Also, I think the post I have in my signature has instructions that are similar to that other link but might be a bit easier to follow. I wrote them so that a non-technical person should be able to follow them. Nothing against succulent, he does wonderful work.

make sure you take out sdcard before it reboots

i noticed that these new sd boots for recovery don't really work. i had to use the cwm and sd boot stuff from the nook color and worked like a charm. BUT! u have to be very patient and vigilant because depending on the type of usb cord u are using (factory nook usb cable, or generic cable) i may take awhile to boot from sd.
step1- download (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dd1cwv3uw0u18/NOOK TABLET) <<-----sdboot.zip and cwm.zip
step2-download minitool partition wizzy
step3-put sd card into computer
step4-using minitool, delete partition, create partition (make primary, and fat32), right click on sd card (usually F set flag to active and change partition ID type to 0x0c fat32lba and then click apply. (IN THAT ORDER)
step5-once parted copy from the sdboot attatchment provided to sd card, the recovery.img, MLO,flashing_boot, and u-boot. Also put the cwm emmc.zip provided as well into sdcard.
step6-put sd into nook, MAKE SURE NOOK OFF BEFORE U PUT IT IN OR U WILL HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, then plug nook into computer via usb cord, be patient and wait for nook to boot, once it finally boots, U MUST BE VERY QUICK AND PRESS "N" THE SECOND CYANOBOOT POPS UP, GO TO SDC RECOVERY NOT INTERNAL RECOVERY. that will load up sd cwm, once it is up it will now let u install the cwm i provided. install it.
step7-once this is done unplug it from comp, turn off, and repeat steps 3-6 (BUT THIS TIME ADD THE CYANOGENMOD 10.+ YOU WANT TO USE IN THE SD CARD AS WELL ALONG WITH THE CORRECT GAPPS) once sd cyanoboot pops up choose internal recovery instead of sdc recovery. install cm10+, gapps, and the internal cwm emmc.zip i gave u as well for good measure.
step8- once done take out sd card and reboot regularly with/without usb doesnt matter. u should be good...........it seems like alot but its actually rly fast when u got the hang of it.
I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. LMK if my link doesnt work. these sd files are the only ones i found that actually work for me. maybe they work for u

Closer than anything i've tried! When i try to choose internal recovery the system just freezes and i cant get it to go any further! I was soooooooo happy then this crushed my dreams lol....
Thank you so much dude, any suggestions to finish this out?
edit:
Added information, after installing the flash emmc provided, it says everything was fine.
Then when i go back to the main CWM menu, i have a error saying:
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Cant Open /cache/recovery/log
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Cant Open /cache/recovery/last_log
Dunno if this means anything really, but figured more info is better. Thanks!

that info is crucial actually. and this is what happened.
whatever you did to you nook prior to all this messed up ur internal pertitions. meaning they are all different sizes and such than they should be. maybe u installed something that belonged to another device (not the sdboot that wouldnt do it) more like a wrong cm version or something or even a kernel. whatever the case ur partitions are funky. going to work now but when i get back ill take a look and see if i can find something. i ran into same problem with my nook color a few weeks ago and got it fixed hopefully nook tablet has pretty much the same thing. getting it booted up is good though.will try to give u something later today

So last night i tried to load from SDC, internal recovery and pretty much any option it would let me. I have no idea what that broke but now when i plug my cable in it will not boot to SD or EMMC.... Take the SD Card out and try to boot and it will goto the "n" screen after about 2 min... then just stay black (im assuming its actually still on)...F M L

i think i got a fix.

https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard <<<<<-----------------------go here
scroll down to Other flashable Files (Did you messed up your Nook Tablet?) and follow these directions. if ur confused on any of them ASK FOR CLARIFICATION BEFORE U JUMP INTO SOMETHING. this will help u repartition areas 1-6 which is would i did for my nook color and it worked when i ran into this EXACT problem so maybe this will help u. also if ur sdcard stopped booting to cyanoboot where u press "n" to enter cwm recovery, maybe a new one like i listed from sratch, go through all the steps again and jus add the appropriate zip files from succulents recovery tutorial listed above
get back to me asap if u have ANY questions :fingers-crossed:

ALSO!, i believe it talks about just flashing cm7 based on this 1.4.2 stock flash. 80% sure u may need to update to 1.4.3 stock in order to proceed to flash cm10+ (WHICH IS WUT U WANT) cm7=garbage now that bexus-n kernel has been out and even without it the new cm 10.+ cyanogenmods are pretty sweet.
(if u get it working, word of caution is the 10.2cm stable+ later nightlies have some NT related internal storage problems as of today. so u might want to flash 10.2m1 if u so choose to go past cm7 gingebread) GOOD LUCK! i hope u solve this. because i know this thread would help alot of newbs when troubleshooting.
