My nephew was playing with my NOOK Tablet. He wanted to install some app he couldn't find in the B&N store. I guess later OS versions 1.4.2 and up won't let you do this? He tried to install v1.4.0 on my NOOK. It seemed to work but now when the home screen comes up there is an endless loop error message! The error is "Sorry! The process android.proccess.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close." and the same one sometimes comes up for Device Manager. When you press Force close the error just comes back immediately. I don't know what to do...I know he didn't mean to break it. I just want my NOOK back to normal! I tried complete power down and restarting several times, no luck.

If you call tech support, do NOT mention what your nephew did. Apparently, they will blacklist devices if you let them know you were attempting to root, which is what it sounds like he was doing.
How badly do you need to keep what's on there? If you could do a factory reset, would that be sufficient? Anything you bought through B&N should still be there, but if you've sideloaded a lot of material, it might need to be reloaded.
If you completely power off (long-press the power button for 20-30 seconds), then press the power button then hold the 'n' key as you power it back on, you should get a screen to do a factory reset. This will wipe the user data on your device. That may not be enough, depending what he broke.
To reload the factory firmware, you can try the "8 failed reboots" process. Basically, let the device start booting up, then hold the power button until it turns off. Repeat this 8 times and it should reload it to the factory firmware.
If your uncomfortable doing these steps, your nephew should be able to pull them off.
