Try to redo the process by holding the power button down until it turns off, then boot from the microsd and follow the image steps.

This morning, after charging all night which I do most nights, to my surprise the NC was still charging and was only at 23% full and so far today it has not gone any higher. Have you ever came across this situation before? Do you have any suggestions on how I can remedy this situation?Thanks again for the great blog!Scott Q.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494584404832170200.post-30550607904768053122011-06-03T08:31:53.000-07:002011-06-03T08:31:53.000-07:00Jim,Thanks for this article - I'm having loads...Jim,Thanks for this article - I'm having loads of fun - thought I'd bricked my Nook at one point, but held the on/off switch down for 15 seconds with the sd card in and it awoke and reloaded Cyanogenmod - whew! A question about overclocking. I did both the Cyanogenmod and the overclocking kernel at the same time as suggested ( the second time around). But at some point I will want to update the OS to the latest Cyanogenmod update. Apparently I can do that fairly seamlessly, but....will I have to run the speed-up kernel seperately again? Seems like it requires that I wipe all data when I did that for the Nook to not stop working, and that's a pain as I loose all my installed apps and all my tweaks to the UI. Any way around that?Thanks again for a new hobby! :)Mike DGuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494584404832170200.post-69477717665758269272011-06-02T02:49:15.000-07:002011-06-02T02:49:15.000-07:00@Irene - Interesting.

Try starting over from the very beginning by reflashing your Nook to Barnes & Noble stock software, then re-apply the updates. To do this:Re-download the nook-cm7-install.zip to make absolutely certain you have the latest version, and follow all the steps in Parts 1 & 2 to create a bootable microSD card with the latest and greatest version.Next, <strong>on your computer</strong> download update-nc-stock-1.2-keepcwm-signed.zip (stock Barnes & Noble Nook 1.2 software image file) and copy it onto the microSD cardFollow all the steps in Part 3 above, but instead of choosing "cm-7.1.0-RC0-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip" in step 3, choose "update-nc-stoock-1.2-keepcwm-signed.zip"Once your Nook reboots, it will be completely stock, just like it was when you got it out of the box for the first time. You can then retry the CyanogenMod install.@JimM - There really is no risk, as you can see from my instructions to Tonya, you can easily put the Nook back if you decide you don't like it.@Mike - No, the overclock is just the kernel. You can, however, install them both in the same session. Just do the CyanogenMod first, then the overclock, and then wipe data. On reboot, you'll have it all.Jim Kleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494584404832170200.post-64155414094738989462011-05-28T12:32:59.000-07:002011-05-28T12:32:59.000-07:00Jim,is "softkeys" still needed?Mike agai...Jim,is "softkeys" still needed?Mike againGuestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494584404832170200.post-40929569529530607812011-05-28T11:41:28.000-07:002011-05-28T11:41:28.000-07:00Hi Jim,Does the overclocking routine "overclo...Hi Jim,Does the overclocking routine "overclock-kernel-cm7-dalingren-2.6.32-emmc-051311.zip" completely replace "cm-7.1.0-RC0-encore-2.6.32-beta3.1.zip"?
