Nook Color stuck on Android boot screen during root - help?

I am currently attempting to root my husband's Nook Color with the autorooter listed on this website. When I did this to my device a few weeks ago, it went off without a hitch. Today, on this particular device, it gets stuck on the android logo screen for over an hour. I wound up shutting down, reformatted the SD card on my laptop, reburned the image, tried to root again, but have hit the same problem.

I could use some help as my spouse is starting to get testy and go through nook withdrawal.

Thanks in advanced.
[Nook Color General] succulent:
Make sure you are using the correct nooter image for your Nook Color version.

Do a factory reset and a hard reset. 8 startup interruptions (hold power button to power on and then hold the power button to shut off when the n shows up, do 8 times), and hold the vol+/nook button and power to power on then following direction on screen. This should reset your nook to purchase setting. Then update your nook to 1.1 with the B&N update file. Then you can use the new nooter image.
[Nook Color General] rubyv:
Thank you. I did update to B&N 1.1 before using the nooter, so I hope that your instructions make a difference
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Factory reset (power+n) should also be applied when doing a system reset (8 failed boot). A factory reset can be done by booting your NC with power+n, until you see the reset screen. Do both resets, before attempting to root again..

Factory reset will erase any data stored on the nook (books, etc)

Had same issue and this fixed my problem
[Nook Color General] ChrisAlt:
No power and no charging

I've got a Nook Color via ebay Germany and I rooted it (Autonooter).

For a few weeks I had a great device!!

2 days ago - battery was low - I wanted to have a look onto the worldnews, just for a few minutes. At this moment a software update (from B&N?) began to work.

After this battery was completely empty.

And since this moment I cannot charge or boot my NC.

From time to time there is the Android starting screen with robot or, sometimes, the note, that battery is too low to power on - please wait 15 minutes.

What can I do? Now I'm waiting and charging 2280 minutes.

I'm using original B&N-cable in wall or computer an tried other micro-usb's.

Restore to stock witout power - I don't know how it works. I'm bloody beginner in Android devices and was so glad, that my rooting (with a lot of helpful threads and youtube videos) was successful.

The last 2 days I read a lot of clockwork and restore to stock. How do it work without power?

Please could someone help me? Thanks!!

So with HTC's disappointing line-up for the first half of 2011 I decided to take a visit to HTCs World site. I looked at the specs of the new phones and noticed that under Network the bands listed are Europe/Asia - HSPA: 900/AWS/2100 MHz. Does this mean that I could finally buy an unlocked HTC phone and have my US T-mobile 3G aswell? The Flyer has the same Network specs. Out of the 5 new phones that HTC announced the Flyer and Incredible S only have those specs. The Chacha, salsa, and wildfire S, each have the standard 900/2100mhz band for HSPA Europe/Asia.

http://www.htc.com/www/product/incredibles/specification.html

http://www.htc.com/www/product/flyer/specification.html

Can someone confirm my suspicions? If so I can't wait to see what the fall lineup has in-store. Perhaps a dual core phone. I hate the line up US carriers offer.
[HTC Incredible S] Bozzy.:
I belive that you need 1700/2100 Mhz for T-Mobile 3G
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
Yes 1700 but is that not AWS. If I'm not mistaken AWS is the 1700/2100 spectrum. So since AWS is stated in the specs for the tablet and phone it should work in the US on T-mobiles 3G correct? I've been waiting for htc to release phones in Europe with US 3G for T-mobile forever. I wish my TD2 had had US 3G. The power switch broke sadly and I bought a used Nexus one and T-mobile made me pay the higher rate for data. With an unlocked phone I can sneak by on the lower unlimited rate.
[HTC Incredible S] mingkee:
This is a good news for T-Mobile and Wind users as it supports AWS 3G.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
Supposedly it is going to be sold by best buy in the US.. So unless that rumor was false it makes sense to have some flavor US 3G network support and TMo makes more sense (ha no pun intended) than ATT. So AWS on the specs must be true.

Unless all these little clues are an inaccurate vast coincidence.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Car Warehouse and Best Buy UK will be selling it. I haven't seen or heard anything about Best Buy US selling it in the States.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
I guess this was wrong then. Not to mention that the incredible s listing at carphone warehouse says "only at carphone warehouse" which would suggest that it is not anywhere else in the uk although they own a stake in carphone warehouse.

http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-incredible-s-will-be-exclusive-best-buy-and-carphone-warehouse
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
No, I'm sure that I am the one who's wrong. This is what happens when you don't pay attention to details.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
The whole thing is slightly confusing. I won't believe it until I see it listed at best buy.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
I don't care who sells the phone as long as it really does work with T-mobiles AWS bands in the US. If it's true I can't wait to see the Fall lineup of phones. If anything with a dual core comes out and looks nice I will be ordering it from clove.co.uk or somewhere else it they can beat cloves price.
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
The ROM is set up for Verizon, plus the original Incredible was with big red so I doubt they would switch carriers with the Incredible name.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
You couldn't be any mote wrong. The original is not a US phone and is GSM based. So it makes sense t-mobile could get it. T-mobile UK has it and so do other GSM carriers in the world. Go to HTC.com/www and check it out for ur self. The tech is GSM. You need to learn a bit more about world carriers and phones and ditch big red. GSM is what the world uses. Don't be surprised when Big Red starts to use sim cards.
[HTC Incredible S] Turbocom:
Wind Mobile in Canada opearates on AWS/1700 Mhz/BandIV
[HTC Incredible S] c33v33:
Is this Incredible S gonna launch on T-Mobile USA?

UK retailers and mobile providers are already accepting preorders.

I'm not sure if T-Mobile USA will get this because it is already being launched elsewhere. Are they gonna launch this phone late?

Verizon already had it in the US (not S). And I don't see any leaked T-Mobile roadmaps hinting an HTC Incredible S launch.

What do you guys think?
[HTC Incredible S] mingkee:
Wish it'll be released by BestBuy in states and canada like NS.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
If it does it will be like any other phone that hits Europe and Asia first. US carriers will get it 6-12 months later. So if it does come here it will be later on. The thing I'm concerned about is having it work with Tmo US 3G if I buy it unlocked from Europe since it has the AWS bands. I Love buying unlocked phones because some of them we never see here in the states.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
I'm sure it wont be long before we see some reviews coming in to verify its AWSness.

One thing is for sure.. I'm not going to pay 499 euros (690 USD!!) for it.. plus shipping.. I'll be waiting for it to pop up stateside for around 500 USD I would hope...
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
When it gets here the price unlocked will drop to about that. That's how long it will take for it to get here. It will be that old. Most I am willing to pa for an unlocked phone they don't sell in the states is $550. Sadly I would rather use that money for a radiator to help keep my car cool with all it's new found power.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
I'm sure there will be at least two different models, a European model without AWS and a T-mobile US version with AWS. Just like the HD2. The T-mobile US one will be carrier locked too. You know I'm right. O_o
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
The only version that has been announced is the European/Asian one and it has AWS so this one could also be sold by T-Mobile USA.

However the question would be why bother when they already have the recently released 3.8" myTouch 4G with 4GB of storage, the same CPU and GPU, etc, etc. While the Incredible S seems to be better all round, with the exception of available storage, there hardly seems to be any point in adding such a similar phone to the T-Mobile USA line-up, especially when the myTouch 3G was made specially for them.

They will probably wait until October later this year to introduce a new variant of this phone and some dual core HTC phones.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
That is merely an assumption most people are making because HTC lists it on their website. If you check out the specifications on the Clove UK website it doesn't list AWS. You can believe whichever one you want but I'll go with what HTC has done in the past.

http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-incredible-s
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
HTC do list it as having AWS on their website:

http://www.htc.com/uk/product/incredibles/specification.html

HSPA/WCDMA:

* Europe/Asia: 900/AWS/2100 MHz

and in the past they have only listed devices as having 900/2100 MHz when that's what they had. So I'll go with what the manufacturer of the phone says for now.

Also without AWS that would mean that the phone had no 3G capabilities in the USA, which has always been a drawback since phone makers started dropping 850/1900 MHz (I think due to them having to pay licensing fees to Qualcomm for 850 MHz).

What would be helpful would be to know how to check which bands it has when looking at the phone. I can't see a way to do this on 2.1 but 2.2 may be different.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Look at the specifications for the HD2 on HTC's website. It doesn't list AWS for this phone even though we know T-mobile sells it and it works on their network in the US. So we can conclude that HTC is not as accurate on their webpages as they should be.

Like I said, believe what you want to but history shows there will probably be two different sku's with different specs.
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
Nope, all we can conclude is that you didn't go to the correct website for your country. HTC have different websites for different countries and regions.

The HTC HD2 sold in Europe and Asia does not list AWS because it does not have it:

http://www.htc.com/uk/product/hd2/specification.html

HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

I know, I almost bought that phone and that was a huge drawback.

However, if you now go to the HTC USA website you will find the T-Mobile USA version of the phone with the correct specifications for that phone and it lists AWS because it DOES have it:

http://www.htc.com/us/products/t-mobile-hd2?view=1-3&sort=0#tech-specs

WCDMA/HSPA: 1700 MHz (AWS) / 2100 MHz

The specs in the case of the HD2 were correct on the HTC websites (you just had to go to the correct website for your country) and I hope that they are correct in the case of the Incredible S too.
[HTC Incredible S] ajftl:
I just know that no one else uses Tmobile frequency ..they unique ...not even the international galaxy s work on Tmobile USA. .. I believe they r 900/2100
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Don't forget that there are two or three carriers in Canada that use AWS as well. So it doesn't have to go to T-mobile at all really.
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
Yes, that's right. I think it's two in the USA and three in Canada but I think that T-Mobile USA is the only carrier in those two countries with anything resembling a national network.

If I get this phone I should be fine while in the USA but Canada is another story. Last year I used Bell since two of my handsets included 850/1900 MHz for 3G but with AWS the carriers are more fragmented.

Anyway I'll try and check it out tomorrow.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
I guess the best thing we can do is wait for someone to fondle one stateside and see what happens with a TMo SIM.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Somebody did an unboxing video and posted it on youtube here. He shows the box and if you look close you can see it does list all the frequencies including AWS. So I would assume that I was wrong once again. Story of my life.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
Sweet, now to just wait for a reasonable US price.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
You need to learn more about websites and looking at ones for the US, WorldWide, or other countries and a little bit more about what carrier frequencies are and who has which. HTC may make the HD2 for Europe/Asia and for T-mobile but the Radio chips in the Tmobile US HD2 and the Europe/Asia HD2 are completely different. A HD2 that comes from the UK will only run on Tmobiles Edge network eventhough in Europ/Asia it will work with 3G no problem. You need the extra frequency that is missing to use an non-tmobile HD2 with tmobiles 3G in America.

Duom Explained it well.

Thank you for clarifiying this even more. Some people just don't get it. ;)
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
I have no idea what you are trying to say here. But do me a favor and don't try to clarify.;)
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
HTC Tmobile US HD2 has Bands A, B, C, and D.

HTC Europe/Asia HD2 has Bands A, B, and C.

See the Europe Asia is missing Band D which is T-mobile 3G. (D=AWS)

HTC makes many versions of the HD2 for different carriers. There is not only one.

I don't know how much clearer I can make it than that. It's the same reason the ATT iphone will not work on Tmobile 3G.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Really, I don't need clarification. Please don't try to make it clearer. Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
Obviously you do since you think HTC only makes one version of the HD2.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Obviously reading comprehension is not your strong suit.
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
wow. ok, well since this thread is about an US carrier I'm not sure where anything you said applies. The Incredible in the US is sold by Verizon, not T-Mobile; plus I do believe the RUU that is in the dev section right now is branded to Verizon. I've ported quite a few ROMs over from the Incredible to the Evo seeing as they're so similar and I've never seen one branded as anything other than Verizon.

I never knew there was a such thing as GSM and CDMA fanboys but you learn something new every day. I couldn't care less either way to be honest. I'm with Sprint right now and there doesn't seem to be any difference between them and any of the GSM carriers.

edit: Just noticed someone posted in another thread that it is already listed in Verizon's systems. Maybe you should make sure you know what you're talking about first before getting an attitude and telling others they need to learn more.

[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
Here is a better unboxing for those interested. It even shows them installing the sim card in this GSM phone. ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSzzrlHLSLA
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
Wow...... just by your first sentence I can tell you know nothing. This is a thread for the Increbible S. Not sold anywhere yet and currently only announced for Europe and Asia on GSM tech with what appears to also have US T-mobile AWS (HSPA) bands. This is a thread for a GSM phone announced for no US carriers and the potential about it working on T-mobile 3g in the states. Heck this whole section is for a non-US gsm phone.

Edit: BTW it went for sale in Europe a few days ago. According to you it should be in Verizon stores to then. Some logic you have.
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
ok kid, good luck with your T-Mo version of this phone. Who knows, they may get something similar but I highly doubt it will get the Incredible name.

I've got better things to do then to listen to your obnoxious arse speculate so I'll leave you with this.

[HTC Incredible S] smokestack76:
Lets try and be civil guys.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
Without name calling I am gonna explain. I did not ever say that T-Mobile USA is gonna get an Incredible S. I did not say that they will get a device that looks like it. They already have phones that have the same specs, as do many carriers. I'm simply saying that I can buy a phone that T-mobile does not sell, unlocked, from Europe, that is still capable of using T-mobile US 3G. Does that make any sense to you?

And who says Verizon has rights to the Incredible name? They do not. It's HTCs name to give to whatever phone they want.

AN FYI I've been buying unlocked phones for years. I had the first Color screen cell phone that I knew of in CO. This was when I was back in high school. It was one of the first with polyphonic ringtones. Heck it even had a camera attatchment built into the headset. (Look it up. Nokia 7210 Mine was black) Most low end phones have crappier specs than that phone and it came out in 2002/2003. I had web on that thing and was downloading free games before Apple Made it cool. I even set music, MP3 music, as ringtones. So it was one of the first Camera phones to. This was a year before they even brought color screens and Camera phones to the states. So I know a bit about buying unlocked phones. The nexus one is the first T-mobile branded phone I have owned since like 2002. Only reason is my Touch Diamond 2 (Another phone they did not sell to the US market. Besides the Uglyfied ATT Pure 8 months later) got destroyed. I found a nexus one for $80 and got it.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
N1 is not a TMo branded phone. It's Google and htc all the way.
[HTC Incredible S] paullu:
guys I just ask the guy who sell incredible s on ebay he said incredible s not working tmobile 3g:( so...
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Nvr mind* wrong post in wrong context
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
Can you post the link to that listing you are talking about? I just have a strong feeling that, that person is completely wrong. AWS should work for T-Mobile 3G users.
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
I had another question regarding the matter being discussed here.

I use a MT4G and I get 6-8mb download speeds in the Cleveland area here. If this phone really works on T-Mobile's 3G network like we hope it will, and considering the fact that it is listed with 14.4mb download speeds ( just like the mt4g ), will I be getting the same download speeds that I get on mt4g?
[HTC Incredible S] smokestack76:
I would say it depends on if the phone is crippled. But i doubt that. So you should see the same speeds.

http://www.hitechnews.info/mobile/3100/
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
Oh sorry, while it is not sold by T-mobile or Branded with T-mobile it does come with some T-mobile Specific apps and is in T-mobiles system and will only work on T-mobile unless Sim Unlocked. Same with the ATT N1. Any other phone I've had since '02 has been fully unlocked and not in T-mobiles system. That is how I got away with using $10 web fully on all my other WM phones. Email, Full Web... everything for $10 unlimited. Ever since I bought the used N1 they caught me because the phone is in their system and they know my SIM card is in it. They shut down all my web access till I upgraded to the $25 unlimited web.

Should work all the same. My TD2 unlocked on edge was fast. Sometimes I feel it was as fast as 3G. Ok not that fast but I didn't mind having edge especially since half the time it was faster than my freinds TD1 on Sprints 3G.
[HTC Incredible S] Das_mobile:
This has the AWS band and will not be sold by T-Mobile (or 3rd party like Nexus S), so it should work with legacy data plans like $5.99 T-zones and $9.99 web2go.
[HTC Incredible S] Paten:
This is the information that I'm waiting for. I don't want to have to give up my t-zones.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
You are one luck SOB if you still have the $5.99 tzones. I wish I still had mine. What was it way back when T-mobile was Voicestream? $2.99? Wish I still had that.
[HTC Incredible S] thevuman:
i still have tzones too. $5.99. Just waiting for confirmation that it works on tzones without a problem before I pull the trigger on this thing.
[HTC Incredible S] Cheeze[iT]:
Same here. Awaiting confirmation that it works on tmobile and gets 3G before I consider replacing my G2 for a bit.
[HTC Incredible S] paullu:
soon man soon I just buy from ebay.will be here tomorrow let see will working on usa tmobile:D also tzone $5.99 paln
[HTC Incredible S] Cheeze[iT]:
Yeah, I'm excited. I liked the mytouch 4g form, but didn't like the tmo version on sense. This actual sense seems nice and the phone itself seems to look nice. Hope it gets the love like the G2, but we'll have to wait and see.
[HTC Incredible S] carmeng4evr:
Lol its funny reading the arguments in this thread. One of the many reasons I love android.

And learned about gsm and cdma fanboys. Did not know they existed

Either

But I agree, I would love to see the incredible s version of sense on the mytouch vs the crap we have

*Sent from Carmen diva*
[HTC Incredible S] Cheeze[iT]:
Wonder how the touch sensitivity and sense is going to be. Hopefully nice. Ebay just gave me a 10% coupon so I hope to get some info soon to make a decision before it expires on the 3/11/11. This would make the phone ~$600 and since this G2 for free, it'd be a nice little upgrade for a minimal amount :)
[HTC Incredible S] thevuman:
Brandon Miniman, of Pocketnow, just tweeted that it works for Tmobile 3G for sure. I guess he tested it, since he did an unboxing video: http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-incredible-s-unboxing-video

Can't wait for you to test it out on tzones, paullu. I have tzones too and have been waiting for this phone. Let us know your results.

Thanks, man.
[HTC Incredible S] Dodolom:
CONFIRMED

Just e-mailed Brandon Miniman from Pocketnow and he did confirm that it works on T-Mobile's 3G. I asked him to run a speedtest. He said with full bars in his house, he got 2.2mbs download and 1.7mbs upload speeds. I am not impressed on the download speeds because the phone is capable of 14.4 but it is not HSPA+, maybe that's the reason.
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
I tested the Incredible S a few hours ago against the Desire HD, Desire Z, Hero (been using this phone since last year) and Nexus S and I was happy with the screen's touch sensitivity. I didn't do much typing though so I'll probably go back in a couple of days and test that thoroughly.
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
Yes, it has T-Mobile USA's 3G for sure - I saw AWS listed on the box when I looked at the phone.

Does Brandon usually get higher speeds than that on T-mobile while in his home? Did he do a comparison with another phone using the same SIM card?
[HTC Incredible S] methodz:
anyone on tmo usa yet? if so where did you get it?
[HTC Incredible S] malikadnanm:
I just got this phone yesterday. I live in Philadelphia on T-Mobile, $10 web2go plan too. My data icons showing hsdpa connection. I did a speed test and download was 4.5mps and upload was 1.5mbps. Seems pretty fast.
[HTC Incredible S] carolinaguy99:
Mine came in today, im using the $5 t-zones, works like a charm with hspa and great speeds, right on par with the G2 over tmo's network. I bought it from popularelect.com they are out of chicago, I ordered it yesterday, it arrived this morning.
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
I got mine of Ebay about 3 weeks ago. I'm using it on T Mobile USA with the 5.00 Web2Go.....:D
[HTC Incredible S] sdxda:
did you have to pay extra for the memory card? I thought it came with 8 gig card, so don't know why popularelect charges extra for it.

Anyone get this phone under $500 US shipped?
