need help nook color freezes

[kevinjgray88]

hi I rooted my nook color and all was well until I tried an OC kernel. I have tried flashing the stock kernel back and everything else I could think of. It boots to the Read forever screen then goes blank and nothing happens. I threw away my box so I cant return it. I was hoping someone could explain how to fix it in easy terms as I am new to this

thanks

Keven, welcome to the forum. Since you are new here, I will let you in on a little secret. Most of us here have found ourselves in a situation somewhat like yours at least once. Some of us have problems daily as we work with less stable roms. If I may direct you to the sticky threads here in nook technical, you will find an excellent tutorial on returning your nook to stock. Darmeen has put together a collection of really great steps to fix this very problem. On another note, I would suggest you read through the forum posts several times before you attempt any of the things you see done here. While the rooting process and installation of custom roms is not that difficult, there are dragons if you misread a step. A wise man once told me to measure twice and cut once.

Ok i installed some recovery zip file and it gets to the N screen now and stops.

[moshe5368]

Ok, first, exactly what software did you install. Version,ect .... Do you have clockwork recovery installed and which version? Which recovery did you flash? We need details to help you but never fear, short of mechanical failure or nuclear war, it is almost impossible to brick a nook color.

all i know as of now is that i have clockwork recovery v3.0.2.8

now instead of read forever it says touch the future of reading

i used manuel nutter 4-5-2 to first root the nook. I am totally new to this and was suprised that I got it rooted. I actually somehow had it that if I booted with an sd card I was in honeycomb and without sd card I was in froyo

but the problem happened after I tried to install a 950mhz OC

now it wont read my sd card. I might just say screw it and try to return it
