Nook color boot loop

[vikingmedic]

Specs:
Nook Color Tablet bought off of ebay with CM10 on the internal memory (that "didn't work") and ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1
2gb bootable CM10 card

What i've done:
wiped the 2gb CM10 sd card.
Flashed internal memory (via the youtube tutorial) and put cm10 nightly from 03132013 and gapps
Installed netflix and hulu plus
Installed a blank 8gb sd card for apps and storage

So here's the problem. Last weekend I was watching a tv series on netflix. Drained the battery completely. Plugged it up for about two hours to recharge. Apparently When I plugged it up it decided to boot. >at this point it should be noted that the properly formated 8gb sdcard was in it, and not the bootable recovery sd card that was at the house<. When it booted it went straight into the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 menu. When I got back from the run we were on I tried rebooting it. It came up with the cyanoboot universal bootloader main screen, screen flashed and it went straight into the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 menu again. I tried rebooting several times. Same thing.

So tonight I got online, did a search, didn't find the answers i was looking for and settled on installing [ROM][JB 4.1.2][04MAR13 v1.20] SCHIZOID all-in-one (CM10+AOKP M1+PA 2.55). I flashed the /system, /data and /cache. Installed the new rom. Used the nook button + power to power it down, removed the boot card, and rebooted. Can you guess what it did? (see above).

So now i'm stuck. I DO NOT want to use a sd card to boot my nook. I want the OS in the main memory. Suggestions?

it should be noted, as i left this out of my OP, that I had tried to reflash CM10 back onto it. after that didn't work I tried the other rom. I've now tried reflashing CM10 and NOTHING is working.

You are in a recovery bootloop. Look at my NC Tips thread linked in my signature. See item A8 and A12. I suspect given your symptoms, you need to flash the romsrestore.zip file. It is trying to boot to stock recovery and repair itself.

flashed [romrestore-CWMflashable.zip - ] rebooted. same thing. straight back to the clockworkmod recovery menu.

created the CWM-5.5.0.4 bootable sd card and tried it that way. all that did was change the CWM menu blue instead of orange.

so here's a new one for you. I was going through the three finger salute method and screwed it up. low and behold I actually got to the cyanogenmod circle screen. Think we might be good to go.

I suggest you flash my zip for putting stock recovery back on the system. Then boot and let it do what it had been trying to do, whatever that is. It could be trying to do the 8 failed boot reset.Then when it has finished, put a new rom on it.

Either that or put stock on it (A15) and it will put everything back to virgin. Then you can put your own rom on it.
