Boot Loop - Nook Color General

aah Yet another boot loop problem .. i was flashing cyangen from an now i am stuck in boot loop i have tried holding down power+n+volume up that got me nothing .. i tried boot able disk of Cr the screen just stays blk . i can hold down n to get into recovery but i cant do much from that point. it wont go into recovery it will just say loading ... i cant get it to boot another else from there except normal boot which just bring me back to boot loop .. can anyone help me out or point me to something that i haven't tried yet ?? thank you

are you saying you can't book up from a cwm recovery disc? That's really odd considering that it defaults to SD boot first, unless you changed the boot order or something.

Yes that's what i am saying ..when i put any sd card in it , it wont boot at all .. it seemed odd to me too .. no i didn't change anything i dont know how too.. any idea's how to fix this ???

Sounds like you need to make another CWM recovery sd card. It might have gotten corrupted or something.
You've booted with it before, I assume?

Hmmm maybe i will give that a try .. no i haven't booted with one before .. i had honeycomb on there before but it wasn't booted from the card it was booted off the main memory .. is one CR better then the other ?? do i have to have anything else on there ?? i have been searching around but i haven't seen anyone with my problem yet ..

you need to make a bootable clockworkrecovery sd card.

Then you can find the Rom you want to install, stock or otherwise.

when i try to write the image it says error the current format is not supported by the disk drive I:
it will re resized.
disk is not empty all data on your disk will be lost !
do you want to continue ?
now i picked 4 gig one ... i click on yes it starts for 1% then the bar disappears.. i am guessing it's done but when i put it in my nook it wont boot ..

Did you format it to fat32? I don't get that error about current format not supported by disk drive I.
Maybe you need another image writer.

what should i have formatted it to ??

should be fat32

I had this problem before. Just download the latest HBOOT With clockworkmod and place it in ur SD card labeled PM1CD3, or something like that.

There is a Hotboot for nook ?? i thought that was just for HTC ??
Ok i can get into boot menu which really doesn't do much it i can pick boot from sd card internal etc normal recovery an alt boot .. but once you try an change anything it will just say loading an nothing will happen at all .. Now when it boots normal i can hold pwer+N + vol - an it says going into recovery but it never does .. it just reboots .. when ever i try one of the boot able cards, nothing happen i cant turn it on at all ....
is there anything i can try from plugging it into my pc ??

Anyone have any idea's i have been trying to figure this out with out much luck .. if someone could point me to some help or anything at this point it would be great ... thanks ...

if you can get into the recovery screen or bootloader it is not bricked and since you said all you got to the android screen you are just bootlooping. try to wipe, run fix file extensions, reflash rom, hopefully that will fix the bootloop. if not try to flash jf1.51 since it does not do an auto apps2sd. at least from there you can sleep knowing your phone is usable then when you have time you can re-partition your sdcard and go back to cyanogen's rom
ive run file extensions and it saids... error checkin filesystems! run e2fsck manualy in console? is that what I should do?
ive run the file extension run the e2fsk in console, wipin, reflashin and it still turned into a black screen when I get to the blue android flashin logo...
now ive remove the sd card from the phone and tried turned it on and when i got to the android screen it , the phone turned off and i think IAM now bricked since I cant turn it back on... wow
if the redlight still appear does that means theres still hope???
okay tried camera and red button and it worked but said battery charge to low so I guess it was just runnin out of battery..ill get back to it once it charged enough.
please someone take time to help me thank you...
anyone have any idea on how to solve this problem???

try to either repartition your sdcard. or flash JF 1.51 because it doesn't require any partitions then you will have a phone while you can partition your card for cyanogen's rom
so if I change teh Sd card you think it will work?
cause Im having an HARD time partitining my sd card it seem like its my stickin point in allthose processing...

Help Me! Urgent Phone Issue! Phone INOP!

Ive got a big problem, recently my old SD card **** out so i replaced it with a brand new one with nothing on it. Upon first boot nothing was loaded because obviously APP2SD puts everything on the SDCard, however not even market was loaded on the phone itself so it was impossible to even download anything
Now the big issue!!
In my stupidness i thought i would just wipe and reflash a new CM with the new SD card and see if that fixed everything.. However i wiped and then i realized i didnt have a new ROM on my SD card to flash back too!! so now when my phone boots it just boots to a black screen and nothing appears because there is no rom to run... my phone itself is wiped data/cache and my SD card is completely clean due to it being a brand new one
How can i get my phone working again? right now it is INOP as i dont have any rom on it whatsoever and it wont even boot, i dont have a microSD adaptor to put it on my computer with and load a rom on it
is there some failsafe way to get it back to stock firmware incase something like this happens?
This should be in the Q&A section.
But,
What recovery do you have?
[edit]
oh right, drop into terminal Alt+x, type ums_enable and connect your phone through usb and copy over the rom and Amon Ra's latest recovery.

You could try posting in the right section.... or you could go to recovery, drop to console and type ums_enable- then connect your phone and move a rom over

Go buy an sd reader. Or if you have aman ras recovery you can set it to go to usb fro the recovery menu.
first - wrong section
second, if you have a custom recovery - go to the shell and type
ums_enable with usb plugged in
inop
You need a card reader and the ra dream recovery and you would of fixed it
Wow all of you said the same thing?
And repeated it
Even ^ copied the rest of you by saying got rec mode.
ur first card prooly didnt go bad, u prolly didnt flash the ext-fix from cm..correct? thats what happened to me and i then realized my sd was fine, i was also stuck at the g1 screen b4 i flashed the fix. also from what i read all u did was wipe so ur rom is still there, see if u can grab the old card and getter dun. and stop being a jackass and post this where it goes!!
Post in the correct section, next time, please.
Moved.

[Q] attempt to flash Foyo gone awry

Got it fixed. Use the clockwork bootable image and get the stock image to revert to stock or reflash froyo to EMMC again
I don't have the technical ability to help in the non-boot issue but why don't you download WinImage, make VHD's of one or both of 8gb cards, then use those cards to install whatever recovery media the fine folks here suggest. THEN once you're up and running again.. and I have no doubt that you will be, this thing seems to be un-brickable, then you can just restore your microSD card from the VHD backup.
Im on a Mac and dont have access to a windows pc. is ther any other way i could go about doing this?
I had the same problem. I Burnt a CWM version that is bootable from an SD card, then I burnt the same card with the 1.00 stock zip image. These files are somewhere on this forum. But the only wait out is that CWM running from as SD card. I had to burn the card with my cellphone.

how did u burn it on your phone?
On your Mac you can use the TERMINAL app to create an image with no problem .. since you can get into recovery, just put an sd card in a reader on the mac .. format it and burn the image ... for specifics google is your friend .. the osx commands are here .. hope this helps ... BTW using a phone to create an image does not work for many people ...
i know how to burn a image with the Terminal. and i flashed the Nookie froyo wrong and cant even get to recovery at all. and for me I cant seem to do anything with the SDcard since i already flashed nookie foryo on it and cant reformat it. . ive tried everything i can think of and am lost

Sorry .. misread and thought you had Recovery ... since you do not, follow the instructions HERE
and use the card created to boot the NC .. once you have it booted install Clockwork Recovery so you have a recovery system ... hope this helps

10 charecter bump
The 2 skulls was the way out. If you had the 1.0.1 image on the root of the card assuming you could get past the 2 skulls you would be good to go. Possible the SD card you are using has a problem. Try making a new one with the 1.0.1 in the root of the SD and sintall update from ZIP.
I just did a recovery to stock from froyo eMMC but didn't mess up the /data /system format part.
If all fails, I'd be happy to help if you want to ship it to me and cover shipping in both directions.
I do have the skull image but it did nothing. Left my nook alone and went to school. 8hours later same skull screen. And my mac won't let me reformat any of my sd cards and only worked when inside my nc

I'm having a similar problem. I recently tried the Flashable Froyo ROM for the Nook Color from modembug on XDA. Now I don't have Clockwork Recovery and need help getting it back. Instead of any boot animation, I just get a "loading..." and then an "ANDROID_" and it doesn't come up at all. The only way to turn it off at this point is to press both and hold both power and n buttons. I really don't think the 8 boot method is working at all.
I've tried ADB but I am unable to connect to my computer, ADB commands say error: device not found.
Try the power+n reset.. hold both for 30 seconds to boot the NC.. the reset data...

I am having the same problem. Anyone made any progress on getting back to stock in this situation? I can boot from sd card with froyo also.

[Q]Nothing will boot from eMMC

Hi all,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me out as I am seemingly in a bad situation. I received my Nook 2 days ago and rooted and tried out a few different ROMS to get a feel for the choices. In any case, for some reason my Nook no longer appears to be booting anything from internal memory. Any ROM I have tried (stock included) has failed to boot, but I can get the Nook to load CWR with the memory card in. When I say failed to boot, I mean a black screen. Like no response from the device at all.
Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, I really dont know what else to do or what the problem is.
Thanks,
Michaelangelo

Get the nook restore to stock zip and the boot restore zip. Flash those both back to it. Also, make sure you are wiping, System, then Data, then Boot beforehand. And wipe both Dalvik and cache. Nook Color is nearly impossible to hard-brick (in the sense of being unable to recover from it).

This happens because the boot partition is corrupt. This is usually the result of you formatting the SD card with CM7. Due to a bug, when you try to format the SD card, it will wipe out the boot partion as well. Just restore the boot partion and you will be OK.

Is there a way to do that when the screen is not working?
An automated install or do we just push buttons as per the same task on another nook and hope
Okay, so I understand that the problem is that CM7 changed around the boot partition files, that makes sense as that was the last thing I could get running on internal memory. When I was flashing HC v4 to EMMC I also flashed a boot repair, and that still did not work. I cannot seem to find a boot repair file for stock, where do I get that.
Sorry for the noob questions, and I am definitely trying to use search the forums for answers before i ask these questions!
We have life!!! I found a stock boot restore file and it turned out to work, I am back to stock again. Man this is sure a learning experience. I have been flashing my Evo for a while now, but the nook is a different beast all together.
Thanks for your help all, I think I am good from here on out!

You get a microSD card with CWR and the both .zip files for the stock 1.1 and the boot partion, then pick install .zip from SD card and flash both files. When done, take out the microSD card and your NC should be able to boot normally...

How do you know it's booting into CWR on the SD if the screen is not working?
If your screen is not working when booting from a SD card, then.. maybe there is something wrong with your nook???

If I boot nooter 0.2 then the USB plug goes green which apparently indicates booting. Oh and OMAP3630 shows up for a second on booting too.
Thing is I didn't do anything to break the screen and there is no physical damage to the unit. so it's just weird

I thought I had the same issue because of the screen being blank. That said it is highly unlikely your hardware ( ie screen ) is bad. I was able to get mine working correctly last night doing what is mentioned above. However to get it to work right booting into CWR via a bootable sdcard I had to make a new bootable sdcard from the one I had. Not sure if something was corrupted on the card I was trying to use or what. But as soon as I made a new bootable sdcard and put it in the device and powered on it boot right up to CWR off the sdcard like I needed so I could fix it. So my suggestion if you can is take a totally different sdard fro the one you have been using and make a new bootable sdcard and give it a shot.
BTW with no card in the device hold the power key down for about 20 secs to make sure it is fully powered off. Even tho your screen is blank does NOT mean it is fully powered off as I learned real fast last night when I tried working on mine. I thought it was off from the night before but it must not have been because I put a bootable HC sdcard in it and when I plugged it in I got a msg saying battery to low to power on plz try again in 15 mins. About 10 mins later I came back and it was finally powering itself on and booting into HC off the sdcard. So I let it fully charge and then start playing with it to finally get it back up and running again.

[Q] Help HELP HELP My Nexus one need help and advice ://

i wanted to flash from gingerbread to miui
so i read i had to wipe my cache and i did
i wiped
*Cache
*DevCache
*SD:ext
*battery status
well you guy know the wipe menu on rooted phones so yeah
after i did that i reboot my phone
plug it to my mac and try mounting it
and it dint work my nexus said unable to mount sd card
so i cant flash a diferent rom
now in addition to that ever since that my phone on boot screen where the lock icon apears it gets this green pixel like rain and then it goes away and boots up then it takes me to the welcome screen but im unable to get response from the screen only track ball and buttons work
so yeah if some can guide me trough some advice how to fix this ill apreciate ask for more info if willing to help
you could try mounting sd somewhere else like on a card reader getting a rom u know works wiping everything and then flashing that rom onto your phone
Wo this is a weird problem.
Ok well the first thing is what can you boot into (ex: hboot, fasboot, recovery, system) and does either adb or fastboot connect or are all the connections to the MAC dead?
Do you have a card reader that you can transfer a zip onto the SD card with? What custom recovery are you using.
EDIT: Do you have a nandroid?
