Soooooooo ... here's what happened.
I was trying to condense my internal and external sdcards from my computer. Once i backed everything up, I formatted one of the drives through windows. Problem is, it COMPLETELY formatted it, including the partition for app data. The phone booted, but with 0Mb for apps, and would freeze up and give me the black screen with lit buttons.
Then I go into DL mode, flash the stock firmware and during the reboot, it gets stuck in recovery with this error:
-- Movi_check Start...!!
checksum confirmation need check_sum[1301305579]
MBR_ChkSum in header : 5.0

I can Get into clockwork, but it won't flash bionix1.7, I get a line 81 error. I can't mount the sd while in recovery any more. I can't get into DL mode again. whenever I try to reboot, it throws me into recovery with that error ... I'm completely lost right now and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

try booting in dl mode from your pc. Install the android SDK and USB drivers for samsung. The SDK can be found by googling and search the forum for the USB drivers. They in the command line type "<PathToSDK>\tools\adb.exe reboot download. That should get you into download mode. Then flash the stock image and make sure the "Re-Partition" is checked.
I think this should work.

Once i go into clockwork, my computer no longer recognizes clockwork.
Idk if its the same thing, but here's what it says outside of clockwork
I would try and reformat your partitions through clockwork. I dont know if you might of reformated the partions NTFS or what.

Looks like this at least let me get into dl mode ... flashing stock now, we'll see what happens
Good to hear. I bet when you reformated in windows, it formated the internal sdcard as NTFS which Android cant read.
Just to put it out there if you press the menu button from recovery i believe its the same as DL mode .
got it!
First off, thanks for all the tips guys.
I had to flash Eugene's Froyo that doesnt brick with re-partition checked (no other rom would work) which brought me back, and then i downgraded from there.
Just in case anybody else gets that!
did it get rid of the mbr checksum error? I still have it but can flash whatever.
Hi all, this is my first time posting here, but I have been looking around for the past week at guides and How-to's.
Anyway to my point, my Nook Tablet is bricked and I can't find anyway to bring it back. As of right now, If I remove the SD card so It doesn't boot to CWM, or CM7 it just goes to the grey "N" logo screen with the "Adobe reader" text at the bottom, then immediately shuts off. If I plug in the USB it just goes to the same screen and keeps rebooting over and over. I fear I may of formatted something without really thinking about what I was doing (yes that was stupid of me) and to top that off, in my haste to root I forgot to make a backup (I know really stupid) I've tried many of the different guides and I can't figure out what to do now. So far these are the things I've done or have with my Nook Tablet [16GB]
-I have a CWM SD card
-I can boot from SD to CM7
-I've used ADB and used parted which showed my table, but no fix option. (I compared the table, it matched another user's table that was "fine"
-In ADB I managed to follow Lavero.burgos' guide and redo my partitions.
-I've tried various recovery roms, and I've also tried Adam's Ubuntu Recovery, but I get stuck at "writing zeroes to MLO"
-I also have the "E:\ can't mount" error's in CWM
-I've tried Ray Waldo's method in his video that involves the green check mark, but the NT will show a red X and will power off, powering it back on just leads to the grey "N" logo boot.
-Also my device ID in ADB shows up as a string of zero's "000000000000000" I guess that's the cherry on top of this sundae. (Is the serial number the same as the one on the box and SD flap? If so I guess I still have the number)
I've tried more things, I'm sure they'll come back to me the more I think about it. So what it seems is that I can't boot from internal anymore, that's just my guess. sorry for having this wall of text, I'm just trying to provide as much info as possible. I would just return it assuming that they wouldn't find rooted files or anything of the like since it won't even boot properly, but this Nook was brought into my store and traded in second hand. (Still have the box though)
Thanks for your time!
Hey, just some quick info. I bricked my nook the first week I got it. I users the sd restore method with the green check mark. It seemingly worked however when it booted it would go the screen with the yellow arrow. After getting frustrated from numerous boot loops, I left it plugged in overnight and the next day it was working fine. Anyways that method MAY be doing the same for you? Good luck and don't get too frustrated!

Do you mean just leave it plugged into the wall charger or computer? Also do you mean you just left in plugged in so it would continuously go to the grey N logo screen?
Thanks for the reply by the way!
*edit*
On my original post, I clarified that Ray Waldo's green check mark method didn't produce a green check, just a red X
I left it plugged in charging overnight to the wall. But, I also got the green check mark before having done that. It would boot to the n screen then go to the yellow arrow screen immediately after. I don't have any other suggestions for you, sorry. I consider myself a noob when it comes to the nook. It seems like more of a pain in the ass than most other Android devices.

this second set of mounting errors looks like your partitions are screwed up. but you say you fixed your partitions using lavero burgo's thread? is there any way you can confirm that your partitions are formatted the right way?

the serial number with all zeroes is normal. its just adb not getting the correct information from the nook tablet. if you go into the rom folder and locate something that deals with a serial number and open it to view it, you will see that it isn't all zeroes...
not sure why adb gets serial information as all zeroes but w/e... as long as adb works thats all that matters.

Well I guess all I can really confirm was when I fixed the partitions, and ran a parted command, my Partition Table came up, and It had no mention of errors or told me to "type Y to fix corrupted partitions". I cross checked the partition sizes and they looked very similar to this:
Code:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 131kB 262kB 131kB xloader
2 262kB 524kB 262kB bootloader
3 524kB 16.3MB 15.7MB recovery
4 16.8MB 33.6MB 16.8MB boot
5 33.6MB 83.9MB 50.3MB fat32 rom
6 83.9MB 134MB 50.3MB fat32 bootdata
7 134MB 522MB 388MB ext4 factory
8 522MB 1164MB 642MB ext4 system
9 1164MB 1611MB 447MB ext4 cache
10 1611MB 2684MB 1074MB fat32 media
11 2684MB 15.9GB 12.9GB ext4 userdata
Which is, from what I've read, correct or what it should look like.
Perhaps I overlooked something within the repartition process, but from what it seems if I did do the repartition correct, I'd be good to go and get my nook back to working order? If so then obviously I must of missed something which I suppose can narrow it down considerably.
Thanks for your time by the way, it means a lot to actually talk to someone about the issue after being a bit frustrated.

Ok I want to say I'm really close to fixing this now, I'm currently in ubuntu, since that was the only way I could ADB, I have the repartition files, I'm pretty sure I have it all mounted properly, and I can see my device ID come up, when i type in
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
Then it tells me
Code:
WARNING: You are not superuser. Watch out for permissions.
Error: Could not stat device /dev/block/mmcblk0 - No Such file or directory
Which immediately leads me to believe I must be missing something important, or perhaps I haven't mounted everything correctly? Should my nook tablet be in CWM if that really matters?
*Edit*
To clarify to my previous post about my Partition Table, when I run the parted command, the file size match up, and it doesn't give an error saying its corrupt, but under the File system column, there is none, its just blank if that matters.

My device shows up in ADB with my serial number, however it gets stuck on "first need to make sure you didn't lie about it showing up, I also need to check for root incase you want to run any updates!" I was using Nook&Zergy for ADB.
Hopefull the fact that my serial number still shows up in ADB is a good thing? Any help?
Well, I figure I'd just go for broke with this, and I started this guide for Completely Dead Nook's and fixing the Partition Table. Everything worked great up to the part where you recreate your partition, when I input that command, I get a "Permission Denied" error. I went back to the start but this time enabled "su" and I still get a Permission Denied.
Essentially I think I could get this working, except I'm just stonewalled at this one part. (Although I guess I could dig in for the long haul and manually recreate using the parted way...right?)
*edit*
OK I finally believe I've made some headway. While I got the "Permission Denied" error, I figured I could just go a manually recreate all my partitions, which I went and did going off the guide. Now when I boot back into CWM I no longer have the string of E:Mount Errors !
I'll report back on progress, I assume I'm heading in the right direction if the errors are gone no?
*Update*
Well the errors are gone in CWM, but I still am stuck with a bootloop/constant restarting at the grey/silver "n" logo. I tried Ray Waldo's unbrick, which has the whole green check mark stuff, but I still get a red x. Perhaps I missed something, any clues?
Another update, Adam's Ubuntu Recovery is no longer stuck at "writing zeroes to MLO". This seems to be a very good sign
Another update, It's working! I used Ray Waldo's unbrick method, got the green check, but now I get an error when it registers the device, which I know is tied to partition 5 which i recreated, I thought I had made a proper backup, but I guess I made a backup of when it was already formatted, so is it possible to get my Serial Number, MAC address what-have-you back, if not what are the options I have?

well since you redid your partitions, most likely the rom partition is missing files. that partition has all that info: serial number mac address,etc...
you can get the serial number easily if you registered your nook with b&n. just go to their website and log in to your b&n account and under my nook you should see it.
if you didn't register your nook, then that might be a bit more difficult. there is a thread in the dev section i think on getting back your original serial number.
also you can bypass registration if you want to get your nook back in working order with a custom rom and the like. just do a quick search on youtube and there will be video about it by albertcwertz

Alright, I can confirm I have the serial, I just don't know how to put it back into the device, so the registration page picks it up. Any advice?

sorry i am drawing a blank there. i restored my nook tablet using adam's total wipe and i had the problem your having now. not being able to register. i decided to just screw it since i won't use b&n software anyways. i bypassed regsitration and rooted again and then installed custom rom and all is fine lol.
even now when i use adb to get serial info it comes up as all zeroes, but when i go into my rom partition and open the serial number file, my serial number is in there. so i don't really know why registration doesn't pick up the serial number.
maybe b&n has a specific location for the registration process to find out where to look for the serial number info.
all i know is that the rom partition contains information pertaining to the device itself (serial num, mac address, etc).
hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question in more detail.
Well, I think I can just say case closed for now, I guess I didn't want to use stock B&N (Why else would I be here in the first place) I have found a rom I'm starting to really like. Thanks for your help though it is greatly appreciated!
Alrigh Nook gurus, I desperately need your help...please note that I'm only a few degrees above a noob:
*
NT 8GB, formerly running CM7 Beta.

I've accidently formatted my emmc and it's causing all kinds of mounting issues, mostly when locating or mounting the cache. Whenever I try to install anything (e.g. backup, new ROM, stock recovery, stock repart) the error "can't mount /cache" comes up and prevents me from doing most everything. When I power the unit on the 'n' splash screen appears for about 3 seconds, then the cyanoboot universal loader comes up states "loading emmc recovery" and goes right into TWRP. Although it states "hold 'n' for menu" it will continue to boot TWRP. Therefore I do not have the option of accessing fastboot, and even if I did it would likely result in the usual "can't mount /cache" error that I get when trying to flash anything. Here's what I've tried and a summary of the result:
*
I've tried the "repart.img" stock recovery method. It will load the downward arrow and say "updating", then it states that it will reboot and reminds me to remove my sd card. It does not reboot automatically, and when I manually power on it goes right back into TWRP.
*
I've tried the Ubuntu boot method, but after I downloaded the 1GB file, unzipped it, added .img to the file, flashed to SD, inserted into NT, power on...then goes right back into TWRP.
*
Everything else involving flashing recoveries (cwm, twrp, stock) I've tried, always resulting in cache mount errors and no change boot up. I am able to boot CM7 Alpha Final via SD card, but only when I insert the card and power the NT up via PC-USB connection. Also, I can boot into CWM recovery via SD card when powering via PC-USB connection. When I power up normally (with the power button) its as though the tablet disregards what is in the SD slot and goes right into the emmc recovery. If anybody has any insight as to what might fix this, please let me know.

Your tablet is basically in recovery mode. So you most likely have your partitions screwed up. Look at the thread in the development section about repartitioning your internal memory

So, I'd gotten as far as installing the zip packages off the SD card, however I accidently unzipped the gapp zip onto the SD card instead of the .zip its self.After rebooting it just kept looping the end of the Cyanogen Mod visual.
The recovery mod im using is the recovery-nozomi.img
I thought it wouldnt be a problem and I could just mount it through the recovery menu, but i get this error:
E:unable to open uns lunfile (no such file or directory)
I've looked around google and the forums but I've not found anything particularly useful to me, I'm fairly new to this.
try to redownload the gapps on your pc, then after downloading connect your phone to pc then power on your phone, then go to recovery, (press volume up when beep) then a menu will appear, go to mount and storage, then go to mount usb storage, now youre on mass memory storage you can now transfer the downloaded gapps then just disconnect your phone (unmounting), then flash the gapps via recovery.

I can also access Recovery mode. (Vol+, Home, Power).
Here I see
Code:
Android System recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility.
...
If I select "Apply update from sdcard I get:
Code:
Install from sdcard complete
E: failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /sdcard
(Assuming this is referring to the external sdcard slot, then this makes sense. There is no sd card.)
When I select reboot now
I see
Code:
--Applying Multi-CSC--
Multi_CSC: There are common apks
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E: copy_log_files_to_data :: can't mount /dataRebooting...
When connected to the device in recovery mode, on my PC I see a few devices with warning labels under Device Manager. These are CDC Abstract Control Model, CDC ACM Data, CDC OBEX Data, CDC Object Exchange.
I have Kies installed. This is a handset for United Kingdom use.
I'm at a bit of a dead end. Because this phone is fairly old a lot of the links seem to point to files that are no longer hosted, or worse are hidden behind crappy subscription walls.
Any help appreciated.
hi @captainbadger, First get yourself SD card ( formatted properly for further use inside your legacy device ) , then follow through @ post#4 ; my comments ; starts from the line "1. Download one of the newest ,, till you reach the end of the post" , and log file entry of your Odin is much appropriated for the record mate. <Uninstall/disable kies , pretty useless piece of software and tempting to get in the way>
OK thanks I'll give that a shot.
