Can't get past Touch the Future of Reading

[hyserure]

I am at a loss here. Disclaimer: I am a noob to the nook rooting scene.

I auto-nooted my nook color today and installed rom manager. I flashed the rom and booted into recovery mode. I formatted system, data, and cache. Then I installed Gingerbread CM7, Gapps, and the overclocking tweak from my sdcard. Everything completed successfully. Then I unmounted the sdcard and removed it from the nook and rebooted it.

Now, the only thing I can do is get to the "Touch the Future of Reading" intro screen and then it just turns off. I have tried to turn it on hundreds of times, but it just does the same thing... Can't get past that screen.

I also tried starting it up with the sdcard inside and I can't get to the CWR screen anymore. Please, someone help me with this -- I'm completely stuck.

Thanks

I rooted my coworker's Nook Color with Nookie Froyo and it's doing the same thing. When you try to turn it on (or even if you simply plug it in) it imediately pops to the Touch the future of Reading screen and sits there forever.

Please help!

From your description above it appears that you do not have a bootable SD card, but rather booted into CW Recovery from within ROM Manager installed on your device. I am not sure why this should matter, but in general the directions for flashing CM7 (Gingerbread) request that you make a bootable SD card that boots into CW Recovery, then do your flashing from there. I imagine it has something to do with needing to alter your internal memory, and if your are functionally booting from your internal memory this creates a problem.

The following are directions from the xda CM7 general discussion thread that detail how to go about doing this, complete with links for further directions and downloads. This is not my tutorial, though I did make some edits to make the copying and pasting it here look better and to some of the links. The original author of this tutorial appears to be named 'muness':
**********
1.Download an ext4 compatible bootable SD recovery from:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [RECOVERY] EXT4 Compatible Bootable Clockwork SD Card 0.1 (+ tasty treats)

2.Verify that the download worked. md5s are at:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [RECOVERY] EXT4 Compatible Bootable Clockwork SD Card 0.1 (+ tasty treats)

3.Extract the .img for the .tar.gz

4.Burn the recovery img to an SD card as explained at NookColor Rooting - nookDevs

5.Download the flashable zip:
CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution

6.Download the google apps from one of the links at: Latest Version/Google Apps - CyanogenMod Wiki
Check the md5 of this zip!

7.Copy the cm7 zip and the google apps zip to the bootable SD card you created.
8.Unmount the SD card from your PC, insert it into your nook.
9.Reboot into the SD card/recovery should read version 3.0.0.6.
10.Under mounts, format system, data, and cache.
11.Flash from .zip the cm7 zip and the google apps zip.
12.Unmount and remove the SD card.
13.Reboot system.
**********
It is advisable to keep this bootable SD card tucked away somewhere. I use it every time I upgrade my CM7 version, or want to do anything else (e.g. install overclock kernel) that requires booting into CW Recovery. Works like a charm. You should also always be able to boot any Nook Color with this card if the device hasn't been somehow completely borked.

Cheers.
