Stuck on cyanoboot, nothing helps

Hello everybody,

I have trivial problem with cyanoboot - I've bought used NOOK HD+ after someone tried to install cyanogenmod on it, and except holding cyanoboot at screen with an SD card (that I've prepared accordingly leapinlar's page), it has next issues:
1) there is absolutely no response, when I try to turn it on without an SD card;
2) when the SD was untouched by me, it had some other cyanoboot installed on it but with this version nothing in the cyanoboot menu worked: there was a menu and errors in the console every time I've done everything. But, at least, it loaded.

And, question ahead - is it some easy way to figure out whether my B&N is bricked?
I've already tried so many options not only from xda to get some from the tablet and now I'm nearly desperate.

Regards.

If your cyanoboot on the SD has a menu, that is the wrong one to be using if you want to do modify internal memory. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a new bootable CWM SD per the instructions there. Then you can use it to flash stock back to internal or another ROM like CM.

Thank you for answer, but currently I have no menu on cyanoboot, just holded cyanoboot logo. Menu was at first in the cyanoboot on the SD card, that I have nothing to do with - it was configured by previous owner, was broken and cause error message on the console as the response on every step I take in that menu. And of course - because this menu was useless - I just rewrited new image on it, as it described at the forum.

Which image did you put on the SD?

I use Win32DiskImager to create SD (either 1GB and 8GB) both from NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-4GB-rev4-(05.15.13).zip and NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-small-rev4-(05.15.13).zip. Also tried just put NookHDplus-bootable-CWM-6028-for-stock-BOOTFILES-r4-(05.15.13).rar on the card with activated partition.

On that last one I hope you meant the extracted files from the BOOTFILES rar.

But it shows the cyanoboot logo when you boot with the SD inserted? And nothing when the SD is removed? That means it is trying to boot from the SD, just not completing. Have you tried the TWRP versions in my thread?

Nope, but now I'm using both NookHDplus-bootable-SD-TWRP-2.6-for-emmc-4GB-rev0-(09.18.13).img and extracted NookHDplus-bootable-SD-TWRP-2.6-for-emmc-BOOTFILES-rev0-(09.15.13).rar - the only difference is other level of stucking - instead of holded cyanoboot logo it shows after cyanoboot logo some other logo and nothing is occurs, except for this recovery power down itself after about 5 minutes.
