I tried to root my Nook STR. I messed up the step on copying over the uRamdisk_rooted file. I thought I was reformatting the microSD... but I formatted the Nook. (I'm stupid. I know. I can't explain it except to say I was not paying attention. Feel free to expound on my stupidity.)

I flashed clockwork recovery onto the microSD card and put the appropriate firmware in a zip file on the microSD, as I have read one is supposed to do. Well, I press and hold the power butt so the Nook reboots and... nothing. It stays at the Rooted Forever screen. If I take out the SD and hold down the power button and in about 5 seconds the screen flashes, goes blank, then comes right back up to Rooted Forever.

Any ideas? Did I permanently brick the thing? TIA!
