I run 7.2 RC03 from an SD card. When I try booting, I get everything to load, and even have time to open an app or two if I'm quick, then the Nook automatically shuts off and reboots itself into the stock Nook OS as if the SD card weren't in at all. About 1 in 10 times, it boots successfully and I can use the Cyanogen indefinitely. This started a couple weeks ago when I was running RC01 and tried to update the regular Nook firmware. I also cannot seem to boot into recovery mode. I've tried doing it from the shutdown menu when I actually got it to boot correctly and by holding power and "N".

Help?

Edit: I just tried going back to 7.1 Stable and it booted correctly the first time, but on reboot it did the same thing. This happened when I updated to RC02 and RC03 as well; one correct boot, then problems. I'd rather not have to reinstall Cyanogen every time I reboot, so any help would be great.

Are you running cyanogenMod from your SD card? If so just demount your card and reboot into recovery, this is done by holding in the N button and the power button together until the nook color boots all the way off. It will take a few seconds of holding in those buttons to achieve this.   As this is a stubborn process, it might take you a few times, do this with the card out of your nook. Make sure the screen is not so slightly backlit, check it in a dark room if you need too. If it is not its not powered all the way down and all the way off and into recovery.

After you shut down your nook into recovery by the above method reboot your nook back into the stock nook ROM by holding in the power button, boot back into the stock nook ROM clear past the lock screen. This will clear your caches on your eMMC that is loaded with cyanogenMod  that  is probably is causing this problem.

Afterwards after you have booted back into the stock nook ROM power off your nook once again and reinsert your cyanogenMod card back into the nook color. Then power back on and reboot back into cyanogenMod. See if this helps.

If you have cyanogenMod on your internal memory ( your eMMC) get back with us in this thread , there is another option available to you on XDA I can get for us for you to try.

I am running CM off of an SD card. I just went into recovery and cleared the cache. First time I rebooted into CM it took about 5 minutes like it was reinstalling; then did it's normal thing: Loaded everything and rebooted itself into stock. Anything else I can try while in recovery?

Nope,  that should be it. It does take awhile to reboot after coming out of Recovery. As long as you rebooted back into cyanogenMod and are running in that OS as normal you should be good to go.

This is a manual recovery mode. If you used clockworkmod to boot into recovery then you can check the options in there. As I am not a fan of clockworkmod, I think manual recovery is more straight forward method for beginner rooters to learn how their nook color operates. If you got some knowledge with clockworkmod this is another option for you, but like I said I do not use it much.
