So I formated my memory card since I was haveing problems and I think it was coming from that. Now my issue is I wiped everything and installed the new aosp mod 0.1.7. Whenever I try to load it it gets stuck in the loading screen and never goes past it. Now im not sure what my options are. Could I download the stock sprint firmware install it from recovery and then re unlock? Can I get someone elses nanodroid backup and then start my hero up with that? I guess im not sure where to go from here to get it to work again.
You could always use the Hero RUU for Sprint. Another option would be:
-Download another rom.
-Boot into Recovery (I've only done this in clockwork)
-Mount SD card within recovery.
-Copy rom to SD card
-Flash said rom
You should then be up and running
Yeah I just was able to flash FRESH rom and that worked so idk if its just something with that rom or what which sucks because I liked how fast the previous rom was.
Now im still haveing issues. One rom it says corrupt file system/app/contacts.apk and another one it says corrup boot.img file. Does all this mean its missing certain files from what would be the very first time I unlocked the phone?
What recovery are you using? I would recommend RA 1.7.
I was having similar issues. This is what I had done:
1. Switch off phone
2. Format the sd card externally (using a card reader)
3. RUU back to a version that is rootable
4. Re-root
5. Put RA recovery 1.7
6. Downloaded CM (this is not ROM specific)
7. Checked the md5 sum
8. Booted into recovery
9. Flashed the ROM from recovery
I had to do steps 1 through 4 as I was running clockwork recovery and was unable to flash RA recovery... If you can flash RA recovery just like that, just do that, do a full wipe and follow steps 6 through 9.
Is there a way to get rid of the clockwork mod boot on the nook color
As per onstuctions on this site, I got a 1.1 pre roote version and installed it
from the sd card with the clockwork menu which informed me that the
"NookColor" install complete.
when I reboot, it starts with the welcome message,but then only reboots into the same recovery menu.
At this point I would just like to go back to a stock rom, but cannot boot anything but the recovery.
By the way, I can boot froyo from the sd card
Please help me
I've moved your thread to the correct forum.
So you dont have the CWR sdcard in? Because if you did, you would need to remove that first. Sorry if this dumb, but thats all I can think of right now. Maybe reflash the 1.1 pre rooted rom? Or follow the instructions in Samuelhalff's "Easily restore to stock" thread located here in the Nook forums.
The "Easily restore to stock" saved the day. I am now up and running.
Thanks
How did you do that? I have CWR on mine and I went to buy a book from the shop on the Nook and it downloaded and installed 1.1... Now when I try to go back and restore from backup CWR doesn't respond... All it does is sit there and if I select something from the menu it goes to the background image (the circle with the top hat) and sits there. I would like to remove this so I can reroot my Nook...
Thanks for any help.

See the other thread or sticky that's labeled "How to Restore to Stock easiliy." I believe you can also use the power down and on 8 times trick to restore to stock as well.
Same thing happened to me. I used Clockwork to flash the CWR-removal.zip on the restore thread mentioned above and it fixed my boot, everything else was OK.

Ditto that. I reinstalled CW and everything seems to be working fine. Has anyone else had issues with using Rom Manager on the NC? I've had to go back to stock twice whenever I've used it.
I had a problem when trying to roll my 1.1 rooted NC back to stock because I futzed it up that I ended up in a CWR loop. 8 resets didn't get me a reflash, it got a recovery. Took me finally getting the NC flashed and rerooted at 1.1 a second time when I reinstalled ROM Manager and ended up with the problem again. Took me this wasted effort to realize that CWR runs in lieu of the reflash if CWR is installed and that's an obvious problem when I wanted a reflash and not restore a different backup.
There is a thread with a zip that CWR can run that blasts CWR off and reflashs stock and getting that done put me back both times I messed up above.
Seems to me that perhaps the whole "can never brick" response when people ask for help needs to have an addendum about how CWR gets in the way of an 8 reboot reflash and provide guidance on how to get that update file and use it instead to get back to square one. (Plus some advice on when to clear caches and data partitions to avoid weirdness later).
Now rerooted on 1.1 with no ROM Manager running but I'm missing the nandroid bacjup capability, so maybe I reinstall but stay away from the recovery option until I need it?
I reinstalled CW after I rerooted 1.1 and have had no problems with it so far, but I also haven't tried to backup or anything since the first time (which initially got me into this mess).
I do think you're right about having some sort of addendum thrown in. I was running circles around the XDA forums for a few hours trying to find some sort of fix the first time my Nook started acting weird. The 8-reboot trick just wouldn't work, and my battery was more or less drained because CW was interfering. Maybe this is just understood by most, but it certainly would have saved me some time (and some gray hairs) if someone had mentioned it earlier.
So what is the conclusion of this thread? I have a new NC, updated to 1.1 and installed AutoNooker 3.0, immediately installed Clockwork and did a NAND backup... bad thing is that it won't boot off the eMMC anymore, only CW.
I can boot roms off of the SD card (ie Honeycomb) but this isn't want I want. I've downloaded and flashed several roms but its looped at CW. So the rom isn't the problem.
If we can't install Clockwork Recovery, then how can we flash new roms to the eMMC?
[UPDATE]
Found a flashable file which removes Clockwork Recovery.
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
After I flashed that I am now booting off the eMMC froyo rom. Nice! Saved me from Restoring it, updating it, and reRooting it.
[UPDATE 2]
Well while it worked initially, it loaded the homescreen and reset. Now it is stuck at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen with no Recovery... which worse off. Now I have to make a CWM bootable SD, flash the restore, and start over. Nice.
[UPDATE 3]
Finally got it back to stock after hours. I found a "MonsterPack" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Even this was more complicated then it needed. I had to download the 128mb RootPack image, and get it going so I can grab the needed root files. Then download the right size Clockwork image for my memory card and get it going. The end result ended in a Clockwork SD card. Then I made a "sdcard" folder from where I added the rootpack files and the stock image 1.0.1 flashable zip file.
Format the system and boot partitions, then flash the stock zip.
I just upgraded stock to 1.1, then will proceed to boot off the microsd and root, install GAPPS, etc.
I wish I knew of a great custom rom to flash. I flashed Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 and it powers down immediately (several complaints about this). Maybe CM7?
Ditto
I'm having this problem as well, but I can't seem to do anything to fix it. I was running 1.1, and auto-nootered using v3.0. Everything was hunky dory until I installed CWR. I flashed, shutdown, restarted, then chose to perform a backup which brought me down into CWR and I was never able to get out. I used the Monster pack zip to remove CWR, and now I boot to the "n" screen and sit forever. I tried the 8 hard resets and it said it installed on two different occasions, but still I sit on the "n" screen during boot. I tried the 1.0.1 restore zip as well, but to no avail. What do I need to do to get back up and running?
CW Recovery only
So I flashed my NC with both the pre-dualboot and the dual-honeycomb rom, but every time I reboot with the SD card inserted, it only boots to CW recovery. When I take it out..it boots to NC stock OS.
Am I suppose to remove clockwork recovery with the CW-removal zip? I tried that.. once it rebooted it went right back to CW. Should I be using two different SD cards? One for CW recovery and one to load the eMMc?
So confused...
What I need to know is what should be on the SD card after everything is flashed.
Mw : you could use a bootable cwr sdcard and flash 'emmc recovery repair', then format data and restore your backup.
Ehamonn: you have to remove cwr from the sdcard. Format should do the trick. But you'll loose the data on it..

Do I need to keep a boot image on the card after I format?
Well, if you only want to boot from internal memory, no.
I rooted my NC, installed newest rom manager, flashed latest cwm and rebooted. But my nook kept booting into recovery, so i formated data and system and flashed cm7. It is still only booting into recovery. what can i do to fix this???
Did you take out the micro SD card?
cwm isnt on the sd card, i flashed it using rom manager, so dont think the sd has anything to do with it... does it?
One way to find out... pop out the SD card, reboot, see if you get into your OS/
This happened to me too, you have to remove cwm, there s a file for it somewhere on here. Basically you have to boot with a cwm bootable sd card, then run the remove clockwork zip. After its removed, you can reflash it again via rom manger. The important thing is to reboot the device after flashing it, if you dont - that's what causes it to boot loop into recovery.
Edit: here's the CWM Removal zip, put this on your CWM bootable sd card and run it. That should get you out of the boot loop.
Remember when you flash cwm again, REBOOT before trying to go into recovery. I rebooted a couple times just to be safe.

Same thing happened to me and I followed the same path to boot to CM7 again except that after flashing CWR-removal.zip from my bootable CWR recovery SD I had to flash CM7 on top of it to be able to boot normally again.
thanks, i did that but now i f***ed it up another way... i'll let you guys know if i need any help.
I attempted to put Phiremod onto my NC, but I formatted the boot partition so it doesn't start up. What's the easiest way to get my Nook going again?
Try using a CWR SD Card, and either flashing a nightly zip, or one of the U-Boot files floating around.
I think I just need to flash a proper boot file, which should I try for either CM7 or Phiremod?
Can anyone help me out? The sticky seems a bit outdated or maybe it's just confusing me.
I have a 2GB uSD card and I just want to try out Phiremod and the stable CM7 to see which I prefer. Do I have really have to restore to stock just to overwrite it again?
I decided to completely restore to stock firmware to see if I could get this thing to work. I downloaded the complete 1.0.1 zip, loaded it on my CWM recovery uSD card, formatted boot, system, data, and cache, flashed the recovery zip and then rebooted.... Didn't boot
I need help, what am I missing?
Follow sticky carefully, it works.

Do the 8 re-boot step. There is also a boot fix zip file or recovery zip file you can flash via your CWM SD.
I flashed the 3.2.0.8 recovery zip, but it still doesn't boot
Download this to your CWM sd card. And this. Then put in your CWM sd card, boot it up, flash the update_nc_stock_1.2.zip file, then ManualNooter. Take out the sd card and reboot. Should have stock + root.
Thank you, but I don't even want to use the B&N software. Either CM7 or Phiremod.
Can't I just repair the boot partition?
I went ahead and flashed the update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip then manual nooter
Took the card out and rebooted, nothing happens
Did you reboot? What do you see?
Nothing, screen doesn't come on
Help please!
Oh. Have your tried flashing this?
Where did you find that on the CM site? All I found under Nook Color were the 'update' zips
Downloading now
Ahh, it's a nightly CM7 build... I assume that it will completely format the EMMC?
Downloaded and flashed the latest nightly zip, still won't boot.........
Anyone else have any ideas I could try?
Perhaps I missed where you said you did it, but go back and take the Nook completely back to stock. I umderstand that you said you don't want to use to stock software at all, but you need to get it back to factory so you can at least boot the device.
Once you've done that, go ahead and follow the directions TO THE LETTER to load your CM7 or Phiremod.
Cliffs Notes: Trying to repair something when you can't even boot is a bit silly. Just start from square one and root. Enjoy!
Hi,
everything was fine until I have performed a restart to my nexus one CM7 and then repetitive restarts started taking place. nothing recent has been done except the regular updates.
I have booted into CWM in order to restore from a previous backup but unfortunately when i enter all the options of the CWM i get a black page with the ROM manager logo.
could you please help me out on how to restore my phone, or at least how to flash a new ROM from zero via ADB or so
Thanks,
There are many ways but you really can't flash a rom easily with ADB. Read the tutorials if you need to learn how to flash a rom. But you should be fine if you just wipe and flash whatever rom you want.
Please look at Nexus One Wiki, section "Unroot/restore", PASSIMG method.

Sounds like a corrupted sd card maybe. Do you have EXT partition? try format the sd card, new sd card or even try booting without an sd card to see what happen.
Had this happened once when i was on CWM, my EXT got corrupted and it was endless bootloop. Format my sd card, use Amon Ra to partition to Ext4 again and all was good.
