Worth a shot. Have nothing more to lose other than time. Maybe adb will work with you card in it. It didn't work with everything else I tried.

Yup. Tried the card. I believe I replaced the emmc with cyanogenmod back in the day. Starts, goes to loading, turns black, then done. Cannot do anything after that. Bummer, sounds like it is actually toast.

Ugh! Tried this method too, and I still cannot get the nook to boot into CWR or CWM. I tried the 8 boots thing too, but I don't know if I ever did it right because I have cyanogen mod installed on emmc. Not sure how to repair the partition if I cannot even boot into anything that allows me to...

How do you do the 8 failed boot deal with the cyanogenmod screen running. I am not sure about the timing of things. Also, which buttons? I have seen people do it with just the power button. Other places say with the power+n+vol up.

So, tried with the eyeballer, and I couldn't get it to work. One thing I did notice, though (actually by chance) is that even though the screen is black, the nook is on. I saw this because it all of the sudden started flashing the low battery screen and then turned off. Anyhow, still looks...

Cool. Will give it a try tonight and report back. Just have to find my spare SD card.

Ha, I tried the quick reply function, and it didn't work. Here is what I wrote yesterday (verbatim, since I still had the window open): "Well, so far no luck. Here is what I have tried, and the new information that I learned. Used dual boot SD that I know works and booted into bootloader...

Hmm. Thanks. I'll definitely give it a shot (got nothing to lose at this point). I'll get back and let you know if it worked or not.

Yes, I tried that image from his thread. I always use win32diskimager and use a card reader. I have working cards (I have a second NC that runs fine); there is just something wrong with the boot process, and I cannot get into CWR to fix it. It starts, but then never makes it in or reboots...

Well, still doesn't work. I guess I officially bricked it without even knowing what happened. Bummer.

How did you get it to boot into CWM in the first place in order to flash? That is my current problem. Any method of fixing relies on the ability to boot into CWM from the SD card, which (for whatever reason) isn't working at the moment. Well, tried to use the native Nook u-boot. Get the...

In theory, yes, but as I said in my first post, I tried all the bootable cards without any luck. When I try to set the SD card as primary boot from that one screen from fattire, it locks and never restarts.

Yeah, it has been frustrating, especially not knowing what happened in the first place. I actually did try the version from that first link (where I put 3.0.2.8). Again, the big issue I am having is that I cannot even get into the CWM. If I could, I could fix it. I also saw and read through...

You should just be able to delete the boot files from the card and be fine. MLO u-boot.bin uImage uRamdisk I think alternatively, you can use one of the bootloaders to set it to boot from the nook rather than the SD card (or from alternate images or recovery images for that matter)...

Since the NC looks at the SD card first, it will always boot from any boot files on it. If you don't want to mess with the SD card, simply remove it during boot (assuming that your CM is on the nook itself (aka EMMC)), and it will boot into CM 7. Then push the card in after the loading screen...
