Nook touch screen dead - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hi,
I loaded CM 11 and was working fine. I tapped on the CMD update APP and it checked for updates and tablet rebooted and touch screen failed to work. I tried reinstall, wiped everything etc. I tried cm10 again and no luck. Not sure what to do at this point.

You might consider trying the Unbrick method posted at http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/ to see if you can get your NT back to stock ROM and operational.

will try that thanks. Will I have to root again?

I loaded factory with success. However the touch screen still dead.

It's a long shot, but perhaps you can try to burn of Succulent's CM10 or CM11 SD-based ROM images from https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/category/nook-tablet-2/ (e.g., cm_acclaim_11.0_29SEP2014_HD_SDC_IMG from https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...droid-4-4-4-for-nook-tablet-sdcimg-xxsep2014/) and see if your NT would run CM ROM on SD.
Also, while the device was still running CM, did you by any chance change the Touch Screen mode using the Touch Screen FW Flasher app?

I did hit a flasher app but I think it was for the ROM update. Anyway I did what you said, everything loads fine but touch screen is dead. So weird was working after cm10 update to CM11 and then I hit rom update in the apps and everything turned to garbage after that.

fw flasher app many fixes no solution no touchscreen
On my nook tablet I had lolipop set up and running well. Then after many years of not pushing the screen flasher app something came over me and I pushed it. Bad mistake. I have tried every fix I could find. I have flashed most cm roms that work with 10 touch. Tried the sd card boot rom, als cm9 ,10. 10.1 10.2, 11 and b&n stock .img.
With every new flash everything sets up perfectly except no touch screen response, the first page is perfect otherwise.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a nook tablet with non responsive touch screen. Occasionally it will activate the power off button but nothing else. I always thought it was a hardware failure of the FT5406ee8 touch chip. I have also tried booting CM roms that should have 10 touch capability and no go.
Don't know what to do other than trash it.

[eMMC][2/22]Dual Boot Guide 2.0: Any Combination[Stock 1.4.1][CM7.1+][CM9]

MAJOR UPDATE 2/22/12: While the process hasn't changed too much, the key files have all been replaced for greater flexibility, and they are NOT compatible with the old method using rookie1's prep-dualboot zip. See this post for an update path from the old method to the current one.
This guide details how to repartition your internal storage and install two operating systems, or ROMs, side by side. If you're looking for a SD install that leaves the Nook's main storage untouched, you're in the wrong place (see my sig).
This guide takes advantage of the multiboot functionality built-in to CM7.1 nightlies since about #140. As such, it is not compatible with CM7.0.x builds or with earlier boot menus.
What you'll get: Whatever two ROMs you install, each will have a nearly 2GB /data partition for apps and they will share a nearly 2GB /media partition for storage, and both will have access to the SD card for more storage. At startup you will see either a small green bar labeled "CyanogenMod," or the word "cyanoboot" in blue. Both boot menus work the same:
Do nothing, and your primary system will boot
Hold down both volume buttons, and your alternate system will boot
Hold down 'n' for a more detailed boot menu
Hold 'n'+power and recovery will boot (if you installed CWM internally).
All of these actions must be taken in the first couple seconds, before a "loading" message appears below the logo. Once you see a confirmation message, you can release all buttons.
DISCLAIMER: As usual, YOU are responsible for changes YOU make to YOUR device. This process is intermediate difficulty level. It probably shouldn't be the first thing you've ever done with ClockworkMod Recovery, and you probably shouldn't just follow the steps if you don't understand them. If you don't know how your NC is currently partitioned, turn back now. If you want to preserve your warranty, turn back now. Here be serpents; be so warned.
Following the guide as-is with all default options gets you a stock 1.4.1* install on secondary and a CM7 install on primary. I hope you can figure out what to substitute where for different results.
*I don't have access to a CWM-flashable 1.4.2 zip right now, but there are instructions for making one here.
The Guide
Prerequisites:
CWM on either SD or internal recovery (internal recommended)
Wi-Fi access
Materials:
repartitionDual2GBdata
BNpri2alt
reformatData
1.4.1-keep-CWM (IF you're not starting with an up-to-date stock install)
CM7.1+ OR MiRaGe's CM7.2 OR unofficial CM9 nightlies (w/ compatible gapps)
CM7 gapps(look near the bottom of the page)
Steps:
Put all materials in your SD card's root directory (DO NOT UNZIP).
Boot into CWM.
From CWM main menu, "backup and restore" and "backup."
From CWM main menu, "install zip from sdcard," and "choose zip from sdcard."
Choose the repartitionDual2GB file.
Reboot recovery. If you have internal CWM and no boot menu, you may need to use the rhythm method:
verygreen said:
hold nook N key and then press and hold power until the {first} message appears and then disappears with screen going blank. Release power button, then press it again and hold for ~5 seconds, the {first} message should be on the screen for three seconds or so before you release power button, keep holding N button until screen blanks again. If the screen went off while you were holding the power key, that means you were holding it for too long
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Repeat step 4 and choose reformatData
If your backup in step 3 was stock, you can "backup and restore" then "restore" and skip to step 13.
Otherwise, repeat step 4 and choose 1.4.1-keep-CWM.
When it finishes, hold the power button to shut down, remove your CWM card (if applicable), and power back on.
Complete B&N registration process¹
Power off and boot back into CWM (may require rhythm method above).
Repeat step 4 and choose BNpri2alt.
From CWM main menu, in "mounts and storage," format system, data, and cache.
From CWM main menu, choose "Advanced" and "Wipe dalvik cache."
Repeat step 4 and choose CM7 update zip.²
Reboot into main partition and set up Wi-Fi.
Reboot into alt partition (hit both volume buttons at once on "CyanogenMod" loading screen) to make sure it's working.
optional: install gapps, keysmod, etc from CWM.
¹Any mods you want to make to stock, do it now: update to a newer version, root with Manual Nooter (if rooting 1.4.x firmware, follow the linked instructions but use MN 5.12.20), flash keysmod, overclock kernels, or anything else CWM-flashable.
²If you backed up an existing CM7/9 install in step 3, then after step 16 just install gapps, install keysmod if you want it, then from CWM's main menu, Backup & restore > Advanced Restore, and restore data only from your most recent backup. When you boot into CM7 (not tested with CM9), it will be just like you left it.³
³Steps 17 and 18 may look unnecessary, but several users experienced force closes in their CM7 installs when they didn't take these steps.

UPDATE 5/25/12: Removed the prerequisite for 1GB/5GB partitioning. A little bird named jicama confirmed that the newer partitioning script doesn't care if you start with a blue dot NC. Prep-dualboot would carve the alt partitions out of /media, which doesn't work if /media's not big enough. RepartitionDual just deletes the last three partitions (/system, /data and /media) and makes new partitions from the now-unallocated space, so as long as you have the right number of partitions, it doesn't matter how big they are.
Added to my Subscribed list !! ...Thank you
I'm getting more daring , so I went through this step-by-step this afternoon (thanks for the guide!).
This was a fresh install into a previously stock Nook (I was running CM7 through the SD).
Booting into stock 1.3 works fine - no difference at all.
In CM7, however, I'm having some problems. I installed nightly 201, which worked fine from the SD card. When I boot into CM7, I get a couple "android.process.media" errors at startup, and again when I try to start Market, which just hangs up after a couple of error message popups. I tried to reinstall 201 through CWM which didn't help.
Any ideas? Should I try a different nightly build?
EDIT: also tried 202 with the same results.

You wiped system, data, and cache after running froyo-to-dualboot and before installing CM7? Try wiping dalvik cache, too (under Advanced in CWM), and boot into both partitions after installing CM7 but before gapps or any other packages/restores.

Okay, I'll do that and post results. Thanks.
EDIT: Looks like that did it. Seems to work fine, other than some app FCs, which, from what I've read, are fairly common. Thanks for the assist!
I worked that info into the OP. I've done this process twice now without taking those steps and without getting FCs, but you're not the first to report them.
I was a bit confused about the backup and restore part also. Seeing as my Nook was stock to start, I probably didn't need to do that step, and might have actually caused a problem or two by restoring data that didn't exist to start.
Still working great. The only FCs I've had so far were while trying to run Facebook.
Excellent guide! Thanks for all the work on this, it works great.
This is an awesome guide. Thanks for the help. I've been wanting to do this for a while.
Thanks man.
I appreciate you putting all the tools in one place, and I especially appreciate you posting that us blue dot people needed to repartition to 1gb data before doing this; I should've figured that, but I didn't for some reason.
Moving 1.3 to the dual boot partition as I type
Question though; after I move 1.3 to the dual boot, can I still install modifications to it via CWM?

Short answer: no. As-is, most zips tell CWM to install them to the primary partition. You can modify them to to install to the secondary, but it's a lot simpler if you want to root, install keysmod, or overclock, to do it before you shuffle stock to secondary.
There's a decent chance rajendra82 or someone else will provide dual boot compatible versions of any future B&N software upgrades.

Negative, that's built on CM 7.0.3. You would have to use j4mm3r's multiboot and the matching stock-to-secondary file found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156909
Nevermind, dumb question.
Updated with a link to CM7.1 stable
I kept a stock install of 1.2 and installed phiremod 6.3 because the 7.2 links weren't working and I couldn't find one anywhere. How do I boot into the alt-partition on boot? There is no CM7 boot screen (google gears, maybe?) and pressing volume buttons several times throughout the entire boot didn't do it.
can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong. I followed the steps, CM7 boots ok but when I use the alt, the nook gets stuck on the "n" screen.

Sounds like you got close. I would say start over at step 5.

Nook Tablet stuck with no OS

So here is my issue. Last week I formated my ROM, so for a while it was stuck in internal flashed CWM 5.5.0.4 Than I flashed some restore file which fixed that issue.
However I was dumb enough to exit the internal CWM before flashing any Andoird OS zip meaning it has no Os inside. Since restart it gave me B&N factory reset option. I did. Than it gets stuck just past account log in info. No surprise because there is nothing on the EMMC.
Now I was able to boot CWM from SD, but when I try to install any zip file it says Aborted. Also there is never enough room left on my SD after I image the CWM image file.
So here is my question one. How can I actually have enough space to copy the Stock OS zip and flash it.
Most importantly I did have internal CWM 5.5.0.4 inside. Now when I hit B&N reset I am assuming it got wiped. Is there a way to access that internal CWM if not.

You can resize the partition of the SD card (after you flash CWM on it) using a partition manager, that will give you full access to all of it, or format the SD card and put these files onto an SD card.
So I able to boot on sd card, but when I try to flash anything this is the message I get. So once again I am stuck at best on CWM because it's not letting me install anything.
That (status 0) error sometimes is solved by mounting /system manually.

Those two zip files will also do nothing. The former is the zip file to root, which will do nothing if you really have no stock os installed. The latter I'm not sure about but again I don't think its something that can be flashed without an OS already installed. Try flashing cm7 or another rom.

edit: now that I've looked at my files on my computer, the latter is not a flashable zip file for clockworkmod. Its the cwm image for burning to sd card.
You gotta do some reading man if you're going to be flashing stuff; don't just try to flash any zip file you see.
Did you try bypassing the registration screen?

Yes that's what I thought. Problem is after I write the Boot.rmg for SD CWM 5.5.0.4 there isn't enough space left to put the Os.zip on the SD. Tried a CWM SD I used to flash my Nook Color which does leave me enough room, but with that Nook Tablet just boots up normalls

DO NOT USE STUFF FROM OTHER DEVICES UNLESS IT IS STATED IT WILL WORK FOR YOUR DEVICE
Theres no harm here but going down that path is a very very bad idea. The devices are different.
So I finally managed to find the right SD CWM Boot that allows me to boot in CWM and leaves me enough room to put ROM zip and what not in the card after imaging.
So I tried flashing Nook Tablet stock os and here is the message I get.
E:Eoor in/sdcard/nookcolor_1_4_1_signed.zip
(Status 0)
Installation Abroted.
As a last resort I flashed CM9 which does finish the installation, but than when I restart it shows the black B&N screen saying device must reset and I am back to square one.
So now I am good with botting inside CWM. Just need help with successfully flashing the Nook Stock zip.
By the way me personally can't stand Nook Stock OS. I use a CM7 Mirage on my Nook Color. This is for a friend who I convinced to use Cyanogenmod on his Nook Tablet. He doesn't like CM, so I am trying to get him back to his stock os.

This is for a nook tablet yes? Why are you using a nook color zip file?
Tried Nook Tablet zip too with no success. The color one was just for trial.
Maybe I need just a plain all stock.zip customized for installation via CWM. Here is the message I get when I tried to flash the nook tablet update zip
Found links for Stock Nook Tablet zip, but none were downloadable.
E:Can't open /sdcard/nooktablet_1_4_2_update.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted.
First of all is you friend's nook tablet 8GB or 16GB model?
Second you haven't read my FAQ, so you haven't read enough and you're confused in the way a custom rom and B&N stock update.zips are flashed.
A custom rom you can install from cwm > install .zip from sdcard or if it's a backup folder a.k.a recovery rom (as Albert call it) you can restore it from backup & restore option in cwm; but if it's a B&N stock update.zip you flash it "as is" in a different way, you have to format a sdcard with fat32 file system and set primary partition to "active" then you can flash the .zip from the sdcard. There is no need of cwm BUT there is need of stock original recovery as their update.zip requires their stock recovery to work.
Read my thread how-to restore internal partitions with 'dd' command for more information about flash stock/custom recovery and flash B&N stock update.zip for an out-of-the-box nook which means start from scratch: rooting, bla bla bla.
If you dont want to start from scratch then grab a custom stock rom from development section and flash it in cwm. Albert, cobrato and i have posted them.
Third this is not Q&A, wrong section to post. There is a sticky about it.

Well that's the problem. I flashed Nook CM7 and CM9. Than when I start it loads B&N factory reset instead. Than I flashed B&N Stock in CWM. Still when I start it shows a screen saying Nook must be reset. Than right after account log in it shows the contact customer support screen.
It's a Nook Tablet 16GB versioj

okay it sounds like you have "tried" to get your NT back into happy mode... but its still a sick puppy. sometimes you have to do the fix two times in a row. . and did you do a 'wipe / reset, wipe / reset" before and after ? . . .umm, take it back to the store and tell them you gotta turkey ?

Well that's the problem. I flashed Nook CM7 and CM9. Than when I start it loads B&N factory reset instead. Than I flashed B&N Stock in CWM. Still when I start it shows a screen saying Nook must be reset. Than right after account log in it shows the contact customer support screen.
It's a Nook Tablet 16GB versioj

Hmmm ok , then something got corrupted , I think I have read about other user having this same problem but I don't recall for a resolution. You will have to try restoring the partitions referred to the boot process first as I'm not sure if it's the factory partition that got corrupted.
I'll post useful links for you to read to know how to proceed later

need help nook tablet 8gb running cm7

I am a little familiar with rooting and flagging cm add I did it flawlessly on my nexus I just bought a nook tablet 8gb (wad told it was new hd and didn't know a thing about nooks and fell for it) but it is the older regular nook tablet. It was already rooted and had cm7 installed. I don't know what method was used bit it does power directly into cm7. I am used to jelly bean and I don't like going back to GB. I've researched fora few days on differences with this tablet but I've not found much. Does anyone have s link to a stable version of the acclaim cm10? What doi need to do too flash the new rom without raising my chances of brick. Do I just go to recovery and delete all data then install rom from sd? Do I have to flash a new kernel? Or can I flash a faster one(that's another reason for wantingcm10 mine freezes alot) if I can flash one does anyone have links to the rom and a comparable kernel? That you so much in advanced!
Wrong subforum methinks...
Try cm10.2, usual full wipe and install via CWM.
It's now supported via cmupdater for automatic updates

ok now i have a bigger problem... I didnt reformat the SD card but I removed it and deleted unneeded things there was a clockworkmod file but i didnt touch it and there was no .zip file but after I did that nothing would word EVERYTHING force closed so I held power botton and hit "reboot" well when I did that it rebooted into the nook operating system... How did this happen? is it unrooted? can I get back to CM7 or did i delete it on accident? ANYBODY PLEASE HELP i just bought this and its actually my daughters birthday gift and I dont have the money to buy anything else so I have to find a way to get this working before her bday
Sounds like you had cm7 on SD not internal...
Do a clean install to internal

[Q] At wits end over here

Hello all,
I'm having a ton of trouble with my nook tablet 16GB. Yesterday I decided to to try to completely turn it into an android tablet with no trace of the nook remaining software wise. So at first I went to youtube and saw a vid how to root it, it had a link in the description on the software I would need.
Everything went fine, It gave me root and even had a separate home launcher/ menu that had gapps and all. Now If I knew the hassle I was in for i'd have left it there, but I didn't. So the next thing I did was go to the cyanogen site and and dl the latest stable build which is cm-10.1.2, dated july 11 2013. I put the zip on the root of my sd card and try to flash with CWM based recovery 5.0.2.8. It looks like it completes as it doesn't abort or give any error messages but It would just get to the cm logo screen, and spin for about two seconds and go back to cyanoboot.
Since I didn't want to go any further based on frustration, I decided to go back to stock and just forget it. I downloaded a stock 1.4.2 rom and flashed it with the 5.0.2.8 and it was fine. It booted into the nook os and everything was good. Now since my nook was originally 1.4.3 I wanted to get it back to that before I quit for good. So I dl the 1.4.3 update from B&N, place it on the root of the actual tablet to do the manual update but it keeps booting into the 5.0.2.8 recovery and thats there I am now.
Tried flashing different versions of stock roms, stock- rooted roms, custom roms, some fail to flash, some look like they flash completely but it always takes my back to the cm recovery. In need of some help guys/gals. Also, I know most of the responses will be "use the search" However I doubt that anyone is having exactly this issue, with exactly these circumstances surrounding it, so I probably wont get an answer that actually helps me any.
You need CWM 6.x.x to flash CM10 properly. You can use your current CWM to flash a new one but I would suggest using this near fool proof way instead. You can use whatever CM10.x ROM you want but make sure you get the right version gapps to go with it.
Copied from another topic:
I would suggest you start over again and here is really easy way to do it:
1. Download, extract and burn this ready-made CM10 sd image to a 2 GB (?) (or larger - not 100% sure of the size since I use a larger card myself) sd card. Use this card as a bootable CWM card. Even if it's a complete run-able CM10 it also works as a bootable CWM! Very handy!
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/ t's a big download, but it's a more or less fool proof way of doing it! If I remember correctly there is actually room enough to put CM10 and GApps on the card. At least the one I use.
2. Boot into the recocvery of that card by pressing the "n" right after the power button and then hold the "n" to get to boot menu
3. In boot menu choose "sd recovery" ot something similar. This will take you to CWM
4. When in CWM install zips, wipe cache and Dalvik and you should be fine!
Once CM10 is installed it probably comes with CWM (the one I use does), so to get into CWM next time you need it, just hold "n" like before, but no need for a CWM card.
Edit: I checked, and there IS enough room for my favourite ROM and gApps on the boot section of the card. "My favourite" is the 1231 build on Iamafanof site. I have tried more recent ones, but I always go back to this one. Just my opinion of course! http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/

And FWIW, you'll find pretty much exactly the same story as yours told quite a few times here and pretty much always with a happy ending as long as you haven't started wiping and formatting things randomly.
Something you might have discovered if you had actually done some searches. I actually find your assumption that you wouldn't find a solution a little bit both nonchalant and slightly offending.

Ok i'm a little lost. I did what you said and got the image and wrote with win32diskimager. Put sd in and turned on power and to the sdc recovery and flashed it. I'm lost here. I figured there would just be another image cm mod 10 or something in the card and I would simply choose to flash it after selecting flash from sd or something to that effect.
I didnt see anything like that. Is there something i'm supposed to be flashing to install the clockwork mod? Your post says once I install cwm i'm good, but I don't know how to do that apparently because I don't see any rom to do so.
I am able to boot cyanogenmod from the card but that's not what I want to do. I want to flash it permanent to the rom and not have to worry about it again. How can I do this?
Btw I'm not sure if the flash worked totally, as If I just power one and do nothing it takes me to the clockwork mod 5.0.2.8. If I power on and hold the n the cyanboot will come up and I have to select the sdc recovery everytime just to make it show the 6.x.x.x version. I though your instructions would make the 6.x.x.x the default version from now on.
In any even, I'm still a little stuck. Lil more help please?
You need to put the files you want to flash on either that card or another card. Hence the comment about checking for space.

Are you actually reading what I write? I clearly tell that the card is meant to get you started as a bootable CWM card.
That means that it takes you into a CWM version that is correct for flashing CM10.X.
Once you are in the correct CWM you flash the same way you did when you had the wrong CWM.
Once you've done your flashing you will have everything installed internally and you can throw away the card.
And to be extra clear: You have to add the actual ROM and gApps to the card, or if there isn't enough room to another card.

That actually came to me as I was waiting for a reply. The reason I didnt thin of it sooner was that when I did the steps with the rooting stock nook it shrunk my card down to like 4 mb in size. I though this would do the same, and thus there would be no room for cm 10. However I decided to look and it was enough space. I just added the zip and flashed it with cwm 6.x.x. We'll see if it works
No luck. I flashed the cm 10.1.2 zip, I watch the blue status bar go all the way to the end, and the messages at the bottom say complete. I wipe the cache and the dalvik as suggested. and I hit reboot system. It just boots me right back into the cwm 5.0.2.8
Wich zip do you flash?
Try the one I suggest and if that works you can then flash another one to replace it if you want to.
You can start over with a completely 'virgin" stock Tablet in case it's your previous install of CWM 5 that's messing up things. Search for repart.img and run it and then start over again fresh

There is no need for all that. I did what you said. I booted into the proper clockwork mod 6.0.2.7, I figured out that I need to copy the cm10.2 rom to the card and flash. I did that. the problem is that even after flashing it wont boot to cm 10 from the internal storage. It still boots to cwm 5.0.2.8

Did you mistakenly format the /boot partition? It sounds like a bootloop. That could happen because a 512 byte file in that partition got deleted, I forgot the name of the file though.
Also, for future reference, you don't even have to root your devices (most of the time) to get a recovery image and aftermarket OS installed. This is what I followed to get CM10.1 on my Nook Tablet, a video guide by Ray Waldo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6D4s3okNQk
The OS he is using in that video is a live Ubuntu CD/USB, one of many Linux distributions. You need a program called GParted to set flags on the partition. If you want, you can instead get the live CD of GParted, but it wont be as user friendly as Ubuntu. (I'm a Debian guy myself though).

I flashed cm-10.1.2-acclaim directly from the cm site under stable releases. So that's exactly what its called? repart.img? Is that one size fits all or is there a specific one for the nook tablet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 go to first page first post. You already have the tools so you just download the BN file, extract it and burn the repart.img
When you run the repart.img a green check mark should appear after a couple of minutes. When it does take out the card and the restore starts. If you get a red cross instead of the green check mark it means you messed up something when you were fiddling around in CWM 5.
If it does work I suggest you then follow my previous instructions again and use the exact ROM I link to as a starter setup that you then can change once you've seen things work.

I followed that guild to the letter, but there is no green check, it just says that it will shut down in 5 secs and remember to take the card out before powering up . The guide says that it should restart, but it doesnt. So thats where I am now.
What's on the screen before it says it will shut down? I have not heard of anyone not getting either the green or red mark.

How far into this description from that topic does things work as described? I don't connect to computer when I do this. I just turn on power, but maybe some devices need to be kick started by inserting the powered USB cable. If so I would do that instead of pushing power button.
* Put that SD card in your Nook Tablet
* Connect your Nook to your PC/Laptop
* Hold the power button of your Nook until you see "n" logo pops up
* release the powe button, in 1-2 minutes you will see a messsge "Please DO NOT turn off your device.....installing new software"
* Now DONT do anythign to your Nook - Just sit back and relax
* Once Nook finishes installing IMG, a "Green Checkmark" will appear on top right hand corner
* Remove your SD card from your Nook Tablet
* You will see Nook will restart itself
* Then you will be see a message displaying "Clearing Data"
* Afterwords you will see a message displaying "Installing factory Software...Do not Turn off your device"

its a black screen with a picture of a nook with a green arrow pointing down and a red X at the top right of the screen.
I figure the red X will turn into a green check once its done because it says in red letters installing software do not turn off the machine.
the green check never comes it just says shutting down in 5 seconds remember to remove SD card before powering on.
I have to remove the SD card I have tried leaving to SD card in I have waited for it to reboot on its own I have tried to reboot it myself it just never gets to the clearing data portion that is described in the guide
Well like I said before, the red x means you messed up something when in CWM 5. Probably what Sagirfahmid suggested. If you've ruined the boot section I can't help you. It is fixable and there are instructions here since you're certainly not the first one to have done it. I haven't dealt with that myself though so I can't help.
Until you find out what to do, run CM10 from that image you downloaded. It's very good and performs very well even from sd-card

Since I suspect there's only a minor fault, here's something you can try. I have no idea if it can work, but it's worth a try! I have made a backup from a Tablet running CM10 and put a zip file of it in my Public DropBox folder. You can unzip it and try to use the restore fucntion in the CWM 6.x.x that you can get into with the sd-card you made. I don't think there is enough room for the backup file, but once CWM 6.x.x. is running you can switch sd cards. The reason I thought this would be worth a try is that the boot section is backed up, and in case there's a tiny problem with yours maybe this is all it needs to get going.
I will leave the link and the file for about 24 hours or until you say you've downloaded it (or say you're going to try something else instead).
Edit: Link removed. New link in later post!

Thanks for the hint, but it didnt work either. It just aborted. I actually had enough space to put your image on the bootable card. I book into cyanoboot, and go to sdc recovery. It brings up cwm 6.0.2.7 and i try to flash your image from the sd card but it fails.
Anyone know where I can get instructions on how to repair/restore/reflash boot section. I've running the tab off the card with the cm 10 rom as mention in earlier posts, but I'd really like to get this fixed so it boots internally. Any help in pointing me to some instructions would help. Thanks

Did you unzip it like I said you should? You are NOT supposed to flash it! You go to "backup and restore" in CWM 6.x.x and choose restore. Doesn't sound to me like that's what you did.
When unzipped it's a folder that probably is too big for the boot card but you can switch to another card once CWM 6.X.X is running.

My fault I didn't unzip it before. However, I just tried it now with the unzipped folder on the root of the sd card, and i selected backup and restore and it just keeps saying cant mound sd card. I'm going to try to from the internal storage since i was able to get the tablet to boot with the help of cyanoboot.
Edit:
I booted into cyanoboot and got to the os, I attached tab to pc and copied your unzipped file to the internal storage. It says no files found when I selected backup and restore in cwm 6.x

I think this time it's my mistake! It suddenly dawned on me that in CWM 6.x.x you can't just load the backup file like I was thinking. It need more. Hang on to the file and I'll see if I can figure out what else id needed!

[Q] Touch Lost and Reinstall Instructions (SOLVED)

I was running CM 10 with everything going smoothly
wanted to update to 10.1 and i tried to update the CWM
I wiped and cleared system and cache and i went to install and neither the 10.1 or the 10 would install due to system link (or something) being lost
I use the restore method in these threads and get 1.42 running and installed.
Issue: The touchscreen doesnt work due to the 10 finger flash that was done in the CM 10.
how do i get touch back?
Rom: Stock 1.42
Device: Nook Tablet 16 GB
I'd suggest you download one of Succulent's CM10.x pre-made SD images -- e.g., cm_acclaim_10.2.0-RC0_13OCT2013_HD_SDC_IMG.7z -- from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/, unpack and burn the .img to SD (with win32diskimager), boot up the resulting SD into CM10.x and use the Touch FW Flasher app to flash back to 2-touch.
But unless you want to remain with stock ROM going forward, you don't need to go back to 2-touch since CWM menu navigation (to reflash CM10/11) is entirely hardware button-based.
@digixmax
So after I burn the premade image to the SD, do i just put it in my nook?
and after i do get CM10.x to start running, how do I install the following rom:

You don't need to go back to 2-touch FW in order to re-flash CM. To re-flash CM see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for how-to pointers. I'd recommend CM10.1.3 or CM10.2.1 (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim&type=stable) if you value stability. But if you'd like to go for CM11 use one of the snapshot builds posted at http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=acclaim&type=snapshot, and see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50141401&postcount=241.
