Help infinite black screen

ok so heres whats going down.I boot up my nook color, get the loading logo, screen flashes, and a lit black screen stays there until i power it off by holding the power button or it dies. SO before this started happening I had installed opera mini, and I kept getting force closes from something that had the name google in it, probably google services. This kept happening after every 5 minutes so I decided to reboot and see if that would fix it and now I have this problem.

PS colchiro glad to see you're still active since the first time you helped me a year ago
 
It's good to see you're still alive and kicking. :D

Do you have a backup in recovery you can restore?

Plan "B" would be to reflash your rom (or a newer version of the same rom), wiping both caches (but not data). I think you had Mirage last time.
 
Sounds like you're not doing it right.

You should get a menu where you can boot into recovery or NT or sdcard.

I'm not aware of factory reset being an option, stock or custom.

ok I really hope your subscribed to this thread because after all of these months I finally got the power + n button combo right.

When I do it, where the words "loading" used to be are now saying "booting into recovery" but then it shuts down after a few seconds.

now turning on the nook without holding down the n button, I now get this

im afraid to press the home key to go on with it and dont know what to do now.
 
That's called "7 failed boots" and is how you factory reset back to the stock B&N rom.

The only reason to continue with that would be if you want to restore back to stock (the way it was when you first purchased it).
 
You could try it. Worst case it will fail.

Plan "B" would be to flash something else from a bootable sdcard, like you did before. Is it worth the trouble? Your Nook is pretty slow and a used Nexus 7 can be had for under $100 and will do circles around this.
 
I just went to amazon and all of the nexus 7's that were under a hundred dollars have a cracked screen

And I already bought the thing so might as well make use of it.
 
UPDATE- my god it worked, everything was reset and deleted but it works. CELEBRATION TIME

I think the problem was that I overclocked it from 800mhz to 1.2, not doing that again
