I was in fastboot, trying to update my CWM. I deleted the old CWM, and didn't get the new one put in apparently. Now I just get the N screen, can't get anything else? Any suggestions?
The Nook was running CM10.2 internally before I messed it up.
You need to make a CWM recovery SD Card and flash from there. There should be instructions in this forum.

I tried that, but the Nook doesn't seem to be looking at the SD card. I am going to try a different one tomorrow.
Trust me, you can't brick a nook. I did something far worse than you--I deleted the entire partition table of the NT and I still recovered it with a bootable SD. Make sure the LVM and bootable flags are set if you used gparted to flash the SD image.

there's a certain percantage (10% - 20% ) of NOOK tablets that wont boot off the SD card unless you
stick the card in with the unit off
and then
plug the charging cable into the unit
it's called a "tethered boot"
it's something to do with the hardware and the timing of the boot cycle.

Along these same lines:
hook up your nook to it's data/charge cable and the cable into a USB port on your computer.
does your nook show up in the "This PC' panel on the left of your file explorer window? If so, just open it up in file explorer and just simply drop your recovery.img onto that windows root directory.

You can use SD-based recovery to flash a flashable CWM recovery zip available at https://www.mediafire.com/folder/xjwc1a482a6ll/Nook_Tablet.

recovery.img needs to be in the /recovery partition which is not mounted and accessible as the "root directory" as suggested.

Fine.
Worked for me.
However that may be, then just install your sdcard in the nook and drop it into that root partition.

Has anyone been able to get live usb booting for linux working either in CWR or outside? I have prepared the sd card so that it will boot in adapters but not in the phone. Anyone know what is getting in the way?
I've tried Unetbootin and YUMI both booted up in android and in clockwork recovery with USB storage mounted. It also shows the atrix as having 2 usb devices this way. Like i said, these all boot from a generic sd-usb reader but fail when in the phone.

let me see if I understand you.
you want to boot a pc/device from your sdcard in your atrix using a live distribution you flashed to the sdcard you have in your atrix?
if this is what you want to do... this is a terrible idea. here are the reasons.
the atrix makes a terrible sdcard reader. it is very slow.
when you plug your atrix into the usb port you have to choose usb storage VERY FAST before the bios recognizes the usb bootable devices.
just use a sdcard usb flash drive reader thingy.
I have one of these and they are awesome.

you do have 2 usb devices.
internal emmc and your sdcard.
that is why above I stated that you would have to choose which one to mount.
this is really not a good idea though as again the atrix is a really slow sdcard reader.
Works great with Puppy Linux!
I am in the same boat as the person who started this thread. I have booted Puppy Linux this way for years (from a USB/SDHC flash drive), it works great. Puppy grew up to run from NAND flash media. I to would like to have the option of booting my x86 computers using my Smartphone an expensive USB stick. I currently have to remove the back cover, take out the microSDHC card and place it in a adapter to boot (doable but a pain). More boot options is always good.
Regards, Ron
PS...My BIOS sees the bootable Puopy Linux partition but does NOT boot when I select it.

Yeah making it actually "Bootable" would require actual effort. I can't think of a quick fix
Just like not every computer supports booting from USB, not every USB mass-storage media supports booting from it. I have a couple of seemingly normal standard USB flash drives that just won't boot anything, no matter what I do (it's not the computer, the same computer boots any other OS from any other USB drive just fine). Clearly the Atrix is of those that don't support live booting from its storage. Sorry.

Go into TWRP and adb push a rom.
There is also USB storage under mounts.

You could always go back to stock ATT firmware. Download the LGNPST and the firmware and then put your phone into download mode and flash it. This will overwrite your recovery with stock stuff but at least you will have something running so you can start over.

If you have an OTG cable you can also load a ROM onto a USB flash drive and connect it to your phone via the OTG cable. TWRP will need to be set to "External SD" in order to see it. I had to do that with my Nexus 7 when I did something similar.
Edit: Duh, I'm an idiot. It would be far easier to unmount your microSD card with TWRP, take it out of your phone, put it in a SD adapter, then load the ROM to the card from your PC, put it back in your phone, remount it in TWRP and then set it to "External SD" to flash the ROM. Provided you don't have an OTG cable, but do have a SD adapter.

Dude, all you have to do is mount your storage, download which ever Rom u want on your computer and transfer it to your phone. Then do the wipes and flash the rom.
i did that once, thats y i keep copies of my fave roms on my extSD, twrp can read from the extSD and flash from that. i've done nocturnal and slick from flashed from my extSD not internal and it worked just fine, if u prefer tho twrp can copy the file to the internal storage and u can flash that. if u dont have any roms on ur extSD just plug that into the comp and copy a rom to it then restart in recovery and flash away...same idea as baron but using the extSD instead of mounting storage and plugging the phone into the computer
It's been awhile since I've done anything root/rom related, so I am just a bit rusty. (And I apologized for the long post).
I have no problems following directions, just need to find them. I have searched, but I have been on so many posts/pages, my head is spinning at this point.
Background:
Back in 2012 I rooted and installed everything internally on EMMC. (CWM, etc...)
I decided I wanted to go back to stock OS and run alt OS system from SD Card. I decided on this: CM10.2 Jellybean (Android 4.3) for Nook Tablet (IMG/SDC Boot) (22AUG2013) for an SD card.
(On that post, he has a boot zip and an image file for the 10.2.0-RC0_09AUG2013_HD_SDC_IMG. version. No image for the (22AUG2013) version.)
So, I used the file from this post: [Stock Firmware]Restore Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet 16G 1.4.0 from SDCard and was able to get back to stock, no problem. Currently running Nook OS version 1.4.2
I formatted a SD Card using SDFormatter, and burned the above mentioned image (10.2.0-RC0_09AUG2013_HD_SDC_IMG) using win32diskimager-v0.9-binary.
My dilemma:
The Nook will not boot from the SD Card. I put the SD Card in the Nook. I tried starting it normal, (power button only), and it booted to stock.
I tried the power & n (home) key, release power while holding n key, still boots to stock.
So, I added the boot file to the SD Card, first just the unzipped boot file, then I copied all the files in the boot folder straight to the card.
Same result, boots to stock. Tried booting with USB plugged into computer. Still boots to stock.
So, I read a little more, and flashed the repart.img, thinking maybe some of my previous root files were hanging around somewhere inside.
Did the same sequence burning the files on the SD Card as before. Same results. Nook always boots stock.
Can someone direct me to a post, or a solution, that I may have missed in my endless search on here?
I don't want to root if I don't have to. Everything I'm reading seems to indicate that I should be able to boot from an SD Card.
Am I missing a step? Do I have to run the Block OTA's first? At this point I am so confused.
Currently running Nook OS version 1.4.2
(Thanks to anyone who reads this whole thing. I just wanted to list everything I did.)

+1.
The power source doesn't have to be an wall adapter, PC or a connected USB hub would work just as well.

I am going to partition the SDcard and build it with the cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RC0_22AUG2013_HD_SDC files and see if that works.
We'll see how that goes
Thanks for the replies from both of you. Glad to know someone is willing to help with my quandry

Well, it worked using the partitioned card! Maybe I just got a bad download of the rom image file.
Thank you guys again for the replies. Greatly appreciated !
I formated everything with ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.2.9, format /sdcard, etc. But this also formated my external SD, deleting the CyanogenMod .zip inside.
I try "mount USB storage" and Windows shows nothing. What can I do?
ODIN
try to get into download mode and flash the rom with ODIN
or get the sd card out of the phone and stick it on a other phone.
good luck
PS: if you don't know how to get into downlaod mode on the samsung galaxy s2:
VOL Down + Home Button + Power Button
and wait

Never used ODIN, I used Heimdall to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery.
I just want to insert "cm-10.1.3-i9100.zip" in my phone in some way, but how? I don't have a 2nd phone at the moment.
do you own a Mac, Heimdall is almost the same just do this:
Step 1:
Run Heimdall
Step 2:
go to utilities tab
and click on detect device or the detect button and the you should see some message that is connected
Step 3:
Create the pit file by clicken save as on the downlaod pit file
Step 4:
got to Flash tab (because "Load package" tab doesn't work without firmware.xml and some roms doesn't have that)
choose the pit file you just downloaded
Step 5:
unzip the rom you downloaded in your case cyanogenmod
Step 6:
click add (still on the flash tab)
Step 7:
where it says partition name add each file that was in the zip there.

Most newer PCs come with a memory card reader built in.
If you use a removable micro SD card, it should have come with an adapter that turns it into a full sized SD card. You can put this combo into the card reader, re download the ROM then copy to the card and flash as normal 'in phone'......

I build my PC myself, no SD reader.
So, there is no way I can just copy the zip in my phone with a USB cable?
What about the "adb sideload"? I tested and don't show my device, maybe I installed it wrong?
Can I copy things to the phone in download (odin) mode?
no but you can flash new roms en kernel :l
Somebody on here posted that you can mount SD card (or something) from within cwm and copy the ROM direct from your PC to your phone that way....(it's been a while since that post so I can't remember exactly which storage volume was mentioned)

Good to see you Keith! Hope everything is well mate :good:
Yes, from CWM, go mounts & storage > mount usb storage. From there, you can plug your phone into PC and transfer whatever you want to the SD card.
Using ADB push is also a really nice way of doing it, good job OP. Please add [Solved] to the title of your post.
I have a weird one. I have rebuilt my Nook and followed the directions about how to make the SDcard active, the flag is correct and everything. It will load the loader if I power it on via a powered USB cable but when I try to power it off and back on without the cable, it goes directly into the original nook tablet OS. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

now it seems u know the steps already but im reposting in case u missed something.....i had the same problem. i found that some NT's only respond to this exact file that i will provide. use my files in this step and get back to me. REMEMBER TO READ ALL STEPS I PROVIDED IN CASE U FORGOT SOMETHING
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.
