Hey, so anytime I boot into clockwork mod at the beginning it will let me use buttons properly, but after I do any sort of data/cache wipe and it restarts clockwork it is basically frozen as none of the buttons work. So there is no way for me to wipe everything and then flash a new rom. This is happening with both the clockwork 3.0.0.5 and 3.0.1.0 downloaded via rom manager. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Thanks

I have the same problem where CWM 3.0.1.0 locked up on me, with no buttons responding. How can I reboot?
Never mind - I was not holding down the buttons long enough to shut down the Nook.

Hello...
Recently my home button stopped working on my phone and after searching the net and various forums, I have seen that people with the same problem have done wipes and fixed their issue. I'm trying to see if I can do a complete wipe to see if the home button will work again for me. The only problem is that I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 and whenever I get to the recovery console, select Alt+W, it asks me to hit the home button to confirm the wipe... once again, my home button doesn't work so I can't do that. Is there any way that I can wipe my phone through the terminal emulator?
Just a thought... flash Koush's recovery. It does not ask you to confirm.
Also, isn't there an option to wipe from the settings? Menu->Settings->SD card & phone storage->Factory data reset.
Good luck.
I assume this was already fixed, but just wanted to chime in and offer my own experience.
My home button stopped working randomly, I don't know what caused it to stop. Tried rebooting and that didn't solve anything. Then tried booting into recovery mode by holding the home key down. It worked so I knew the actual button worked. Did the wipe from settings like described above. That didn't work, so I was about to reflash the ROM. I realized I didn't have a backup ROM in the root of my SD card so I just rebooted normally after a full wipe from recovery. It worked.
tl;dr-> use alt+w in recovery if possible.
Today I was updating my G1 from 4.199 to 5.07. Looking at this thread hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672992, following the instructions to use Clockwork Recovery from the market. I only clicked the "flash clockwork recovery" button and rebooted and thats it.. I think that is what cause the problem but how can i fix this. I have a nandroid backup from 4.02 cyanogen build..but i dont know enable this with out recovery method (Power+ Home button when it is turning on). Thank you for reading this and all help would be greatly appreciated. it is stuck at the t-mobile portion of the boot up.
your supposed to host home+end buttons until the recovery pops up. dont let go of them!
It doesn't seem possible to get my phone to boot into recovery mode. When trying to do so it goes to the four coloured X and then to a black screen, so the phone automatically switches off instead of booting into recovery. I need to press the power button to restart it.
The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted if that could in any way affect it. I'd like to be able to use Clockwork to be able to make a back up.
Any ideas?
I don't know the reason but try the following. Install rom manager. From rom manager install an older version of clockwork an hit reboot into recovery from there.
No it might be going into recovery but you can't see it because you have an SLCD phone. Try flashing Among RA 1.8.0.1 or 1.9.0
Well, I'd downloaded rom manager before where it didn't work but now it seems to be working. I was able to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and reboot into recovery from rom manager. Not sure why it's any different now.
Anyway, hopefully it'll stay working. Many thanks for your reply
Ok, so I just got a nook and went through the steps of rooting it by following this tutorial here: http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/nook-color-cm7.html which eventually led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I then tried to put gapps on my nook so I could get android market but I can't get the nook to boot into recovery mode! I started searching through alot of forums and noticed many people saying you need to have ClockworkMod Recovery which I thought I already had. But in my rom manager it says "You mush have the CLockworkMod Recovery installed to flash and restore ROMs!" So apparently I can't go into recovery mode because I don't have it?? I don't know how to install it either because all the tutorials start out with a stock nook and my nook already has gingerbread on it. I'm extremely cautious to try anything because this is my first time rooting. What do I do????
Well, I figured out how to install Clockwork through the rom manager and I just noticed an update in the bottom bar. It just gave me the option to add google apps and it's downloading as I type this. Confused about recovery mode and the little penguin now.

Idk if you figured this out yet but in case you didn't, what you were supposed to do is download the latest gapps which is 200110613 if your using latest cm7. Then put that zip in the boot partition of your sd card. Put the sd card back into your nook and boot into recovery by holding down the N and power buttons. When the loading screen appears you release the buttons. It then will install gapps to the sd card and power down when its done.
Tip: If you cant time the release of N and power to get gapps installed. Just let cm7 load up then hold power select reboot then select recovery.

What I ended up doing actually is rerooting it to run nightlies instead of the stable version 7.0.3. It rebooted into recovery mode and worked like a charm.
When am I supposed to see the option to Boot to Recovery? I have tried timing holding N and power and that didn't work. I tried holding the N till script appeared but only option ended up booting to B&N Nook Color.
How do I forec a Recovery boot?
Hi guys,
a friend of mine has a huge problem with his rooted P970 (android 2.3): after installing an update, the system only boots into ClockworkMod, rebooting from there only goes into the CWM Recovery again. Holding VOL-UP when the phone is connected to the computer and even holding HOME+VOL-DOWN will boot the CWM. VOL-UP within CWM doesn't work as well. Factory Reset and installing a ROM from CWM doesn't make a difference either.
So we tried to install a firmeware via SmartFlash (V20N). But the problem is that the COM-port only appears for few seconds until the CMW is completely booted, than it vanishes again. So we really have now idea what to do next.
Thanks for your help!
You need to pull out the battery, insert it again, DONT POWER ON THE PHONE! Now hold VOL+ Button, then plug in the USB cable and you should see the software update screen, then use smartflash. OR in CWM, wipe data, cache, in advanced wipe dalvik, try to install a custom ROM like boype's CM7 kang, have fun
