I am having a problem. I had manual nooter complete and went to install new kernal and when I did the nook would not get past the nook color screen. It would just sit there and do nothing. I then tried to install new kernal and still nothing. My next step was to do a factory reset and I can't format data. I know this has been touched on before, but the only way I can see to get it back would be to actually boot up the system, which I can't do. Any ideas?
u wipe cache?
download the kernel again, flash it again, if still no go
might need to reinstall the rom
edit: make sure you get the right kernel
Solution!!!
I experienced the same problem as you a couple days ago and was able to fix it with this link; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371. Just follow the instructions. Then flash whatever rom as normal and enjoy.
The problem your experiencing is due to the different partition scheme B&N is implementing on new NCs models and refurb ones. So if you bought a nook after may 1st (not sure on exact date) you will have the new partitions that show the available user space as 1gb. Currently most roms for NC do not work with the new partition scheme so you will have to repartition it with DeanGibson's method.
If this helped you out then a thanks would be awesome.

Hi all,
I upgraded to Gingerbread and Juwe's ROM last night and all went well. That is until today when I ran the script to convert the filesystem to ext4. It rebooted into CWM and all seemed to go well except my phone is now stuck in a boot-loop. It gets as far as the initial "Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung" screen and then restarts to it every few seconds.
Background:
I followed the instructions as given in Juwes thread. Initially flashed XWJVB XEE firmware with bootloaders from this thread (this exact firmware I think) with re-partition,etc checked. After that I flashed CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS (no-repartition) and flashed ROM. ROM was working perfectly till I ran ext4.
Does anyone know of any way to fix this problem? I can boot into Download mode and CWM Recovery v3.0.0.5. I'm trying to avoid reflashing the ROM but if I can't get a solution soon I guess I'll just have to do that
Hmmm,
Are you able to get into recovery or download mode?
Edit: Just noticed you can.
Another question,
What did you use to convert to ext4?
Did you install Chainfire's ext4 addon?

Ya it's Chainfire's ext4 addon I used. Although it's just occurred to me that I think I used the one packaged with the ROM instead of the newest one from Chainfire's thread. Could it be an older version?
Yeah I really don't know about that. When we get the phone sorted, I would install his most recent addon to see if that's the issue.
As far as I know, you may only have 2 options.
First, you can try to do a factory reset in CWM.
If that fails, I'd start from the beginning, flashing with a 512 pit and re-partion.

I was afraid you'd say that. Just got the phone setup as I wanted it
Just tried the factory reset in CWM and no joy. Guess I'll re-partition when I get home. Should probably be doing some work at the moment anyway
Sorry man,
Next time, set everything up after you convert it to ext4. Might save you another headache.
Also, make sure you have some free space on your internal sd card. I try to leave 1.5gb free for file system conversions.
Oh and,
get some work done already
Before you go and flash everything again.
Try flashing Chainfire's 3.1 kernal again. It might pull it out of the boot loop. Worth a shot though before starting all over.
Hopefully it works out for you without starting all over.
I tried reflashing the kernel but no joy. Just went with the complete reflash in the end. Was painless enough because I had everything set up to go from the night before
Thanks for all the help electrotune! Appreciate it
Hello, I guess I went in blind and screwed it up. Here's exactly what I did.
1. Created a bootable CWR SD card and used ManualRooter on my stock 1.2. Everything went perfectly. Checked Market and full app list etc.
2. Copied phiremod 6.2 to CWR card. Booted into Recovery. Wiped data/factory reset. Installed phiremod. No error so far. Wiped dalvik cache (not sure if I ran wipe cache partition). Then I turned it off, rebooted and the Nook is now stuck at the loading screen.
Of course, only then did I realize I got a nook with the new partitions (blue sticker). What should I do now? I was planning to try repartitioning but not sure if that would do more damage.
Any input? Thanks.
Fixed it Went ahead and installed the 2 repartition/reformat zips and installed phiremod on top. Everything is just peachy
hey itaintrite, i'm have a similar issue.
burned my working rom to sd so i could flash emmc to 1.2 manual nooter. prob now is when i boot from my sd it hangs at 'touch the future of reading.'
what's this 'repartition/reformat' zip you speak of?
raze
Similar problem....could use some help please!!
OK. Noob who is eternally grateful to all the awesome folks here. With your help I successfully rooted my EVO last summer. Now I have a problem with my new Nook Color. I successfully rooted (NC 1.2) it with ManualNooter, but now it won't accept any other ROMS. Runs MN fine, but I used ROM Manager to download and flash CM7.0.3, but it hangs at the "n COLOR" boot screen. Same exact result with Phirerom. I was able to restore to MN by somehow achieving the CM Recovery and restoring the Nand backup. Meanwhile, while I am unable to flash CM7, I AM able to boot into it from an SD card. Help, please.

The repartition/reformat are in the thread that helps you repartition your 1.2 refurb nook to the older partition format. You can't install any custom roms otherwise.
I am having a similar issue. I rooted my new Blue Dot NC, I made my microSD card image with CW 3.2.0.1-eyeballer and ManualRooter 4.6.16 followed all instructions, and everything came out fine. installed apps, copied over books etc. all running fine. The problem is when I reboot the NC it will start rebooting and then get stuck cycling in the NOOK COLOR animation. I have to reset it, and re-register it with B&N and install ManualRooter again.
Any ideas why this happens? Could it be an app causing this??
I am rooting again and testing the reset before I add any apps, then app by app and see if something comes up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all,
I have run into one issue on my nook. I have had it for a while and followed all the directions for root and it was running perfect. One day it rebooted and would nver start back up. It gets stuck in the Nook Color Devs Boot Loop where it says Nook, then color in a rainbow scheme. I attempted to reload the factory image, ran the first manual nooter and logged into gmail, etc. Then I ran the second nooter and now I am stuck in a boot loop again. Is there anyway to solve this?
A factory reset appears to help but as soon as I root, the same thing happens. I have attempted to search but couldn't find anything else.
I also found out that if I clear dalvik and cache then it won't go immediately to the boot loop. It attempts to load but i am not sure what to do.
Thanks all.
You may want to specify which version of Stock you're reloading. I don't know for sure, but there may be some different procedures if you're on 1.3... But I don't know, just a tip for people to give you more specific help.
Thank you. This has happened to me on both the1.2 and 1.3 stock rom. It actually just shut off one day and then started doing this.
I'm not very familiar with the stock rom. I got rid of it within like 10 minutes of getting my nook, turning it into a tablet was my whole reason for buying one.
I didn't think there was more than one root script that you had to run though. At least not for 1.2, I dunno about 1.3 though.
Perhaps something there's messing it up?
Personally, I would suggest following one of the threads about restoring to stock... step by step and see if that helps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13198961#post13198961
Basically... just make a bootable cwm card. Make a backup of what you have atm. Copy the zip you download from that thread to your card. Boot your cwm card and goto mounts and storage, and format: /system, /data, /cache, and I would do /boot just in case. Normally, you shouldn't format boot... but just in case something there is causing you a problem it might be best. I know the stock rom restores the boot files anyway. Then just go to (sorry if the wording here isn't right, I don't have my nook in front of me) install zip from card, then select zip, and choose the 1.2 zip you put on the card. It should take like 5-10 mins to flash... remove the bootable sdcard, and choose reboot now. This should get you back to 100% stock 1.2, then you can retry rooting it... I think 1.2 needs the manual nooter script. You shouldn't have to run anything more than once to root it though, unless you upgrade after that to 1.3.
I had the same problem after getting the 1.3 update and re-rooting. The problem was adobe flash 10.3. I ran flashplayer_fix.zip from GMPOWER's post on this page (sorry don't know how to link the post) and it fixed the problem.

I'm trying to resurrect my I897 Captivate. I put it in the drawer a couple of years ago with Glitch kernel and AOKP ICS on it. My wife destroyed her Skyrocket (S2) and she needs a phone to use as a stand-in for a couple of months.
I wiped it, no nandroid backup since I had no plans to use any of the data on it, and began trying to install Cyanogenmod. I was planning to use the recent M5 snapshot of CM11 but am ok with going to 10.2.1 stable if 11M5 doesn't work.
However, I just can't get it to boot. It will go into recovery mode fine (in fact, it boots to recovery even when no buttons are pressed).
I went back, wiped everything, formatted all partitions, and started with CM7, then CM9, then CM10.2.1 to get the partition scheme updated and just to be sure it wasn't CM11M5. However none of those change the issue. It just refuses to boot anything but recovery.
I've repeatedly done wipes and factory resets, including going back and formatting the partitions. I've tried the "install CM twice" trick. The phone just does not want to boot the images.
The install processes seem to go fine. No errors reported during .zip install.
I went through many different pages that are meant to break a recovery loop, most of which just have you do the basic reset and reboot, but so far have found no way to break the cycle.
Any ideas?

my advice is, go to stock GB, then flash ICS, flash a KitKat kernel, reboot recovery and then flash CM 11..
hope this works for you!
Yeah that was my next plan, already have the stock ROM downloaded. Will report back. Was just hoping there was a known issue that I could fix without reverting. Not a big deal Thanks.

Hello jahfry! Glad to hear you got the stock ROM. Would you mind telling me where you got it from? All the links I've found here are dead… I am in a similar situation as you - managed to get a custom rom going but have lost all trace of EFS folder/ nv_data.bin file…. Need to go back to stock to start again… Any help appreciated!

Search goes a long way
My i9305 LTE is caught in a boot loop (just loops the start-up screen of any ROM I install). I have access to CWM recovery v6.0.4.5 and also download recovery.
The only thing I can think that might have caused this was when I installed Archidroid I (foolishly?) selected the only partition that wasn't ext4, to be set as ext4. It's not booted past any of the bootscreens on any ROM since I did this.
I've tried wiping all data and cache and also doing a data/factory reset and every "clear data" option available and I'm still caught in a boot screen loop on any ROM I try.
I've formatted each of the folders on the device by mounting and formatting (I don't need to keep any data on the phone) and then to get a new ROM on the phone I've inserted an SD Card, mounted it in CWM recovery and installed it from the .zip that way, all ROMs I've tried just lock up at their boot screen, it just loops over and over.
I've searched this forum and on Google but cannot find a solution or anyone with a similar issue, most that have had a similar looping problem say they performed an Odin factory reset, which brings me to my next question.
I don't know the region of my phone as I cannot access the dialler or any of my settings to find out the region, and forgot (as I rooted so long ago). I do have on the back of the phone the codes:
FCC ID: A3LGI9305
SSN: -I9305GSMH
as well as my IMEI #
How do I know my phone region, and which firmware/rom would I use to perform a full factory reset to at least get it booting again?
Any tips/ideas please, that would be much appreciated.

what country do you live? the region is the country you live in, just search for your official firmware on sammobile or samsung update site. and download the firmware for your country, flash it with odin.
also update your recovery to the latest available in your case cwm 6.0.4.7

Hmm... Good question. I understand your issue here but im afraid i cant answer this.. While it was working what firmware was running on it? What baseband? If you have any kind of info of the working firmware, analyze it with firmwares on those sites and try to find the one you need.

Well I was in the same pickle
whicever 4.3 rom i flashed through odin i got stuck in boot logo or even if i recovered device from odin through emergency frimware and intillation
Also tried customs 4.3 roms stuck a boot logo
Here what u should try and what i did
1 flash philz recovery + 4.1.2 rom
if it works back up efs
2 Using Philz recovery wipe data factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache
3 in mount and storage section format everything ( THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP )
4 Used odin to flash a 4.3 stock package it worked ( note u may get knox from this u may try a modifed stock package if u dont have knox and dont want to get it )

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll give that a shot tonight. I'm able to get into CWM as explained, mount and format everything so I'm not sure that this step will make a difference, but I'll do it again anyway.
So I'll see how it goes tonight. Actually been quite refreshing without a phone these past couple of days

I managed to fix it, but it had me totally stumped for a while.
I flashed philz recovery and then formatted all of the directories as I'd done previously on CWM.
I tried Slim Rom which didn't work.
I ended up tying CyanogenMod stable which actually worked, it got past the boot loop phase! - I was glad to see a setup screen after 2 days!
I then had another issue with my Cell Reception not working, no data or reception would be shown.
This seemed to happen since I tried a KitKat ROM, as I remember before the bootloop it did this on a couple of ROMs I tried to manually enter the APN over and over and it wouldn't let me save it, very annoying.
I checked the baseband in the about phone section and it was being displayed as "unknown", luckily I remembered my baseband # from when I rooted the phone about 8 months ago (XXBLL3), then I found on this forum a list of 9305i baseband downloads as .zips so I was able to load up CWM and flash it, reboot and it worked!
I will be keeping with CM Stable (10.1.3) for a while now.
I hope this helps someone else that might run into a similar issue.
