Stuck on N1 logo but not bricked

I searched before I posted this question since I know it is a common question but I can't seem to figure out the problem with my phone.
I recently just bought it and I decided to root it. I following the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod When I went through the instructions, everything went through smoothly. No errors, all were complete installs but my Nexus One is stuck at the boot screen now. I waited for over 20 minutes but it wouldn't budge at all. I've done the procedure after "fastboot oem unlock" and "Flash CyanogenMod" already but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The flash that I'm currently using is the update-cm-5.0.5.1-N1-signed and gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it or what do you suggest any steps I should take to fixing it?
I don't think my phone is bricked since I'm able to go into Bootloader mode and Recovery.

Try a wipe and if not reflash and re wipe.

Mine is doing this too and i did exactly what OP did
Even after a wipe. Im reflashing right now

5.0.5.2 has just been released. Apparently fixes this bug. get it while it's hot.

Its still taking forever to boot. Im still watching it. What exactly do i do to do a "Wipe"?

Damn I don't have a microSD reader. =\
Is there any way to put the ROM on the microSD via Nexus One?

I'm having the same problem. This is on the recently released ATT compatible N1. I am able to go into Amon_Ra's 1.7 recovery and successfully install the V5.0.5.2 and gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip but still have the same problem. Stuck on the X with the lock. I keep putting the original Rom back and doing it again after a full wipe and still have the same problem.

you dont have your usb cable? I was thinking about that too. Cause i know the nexus has its own memory internally but it doesn't show up under my computer. maybe you can push files through command prompt or something. or on linux

If you have the Amon_Ra's recovery you can do a wipe once you're in recovery.
If you made a backup of the original rom you can just put that back and boot into the original rom. once there, you can mount the usb and download it to the sdcard
you can also download the cyanogen updater from the android market and download the rom to your sdcard to install.

What did the trick for me was fresh install of Cyanogen 5.0.5 which i got to boot succesfully AND THEN use cyanogen updater to get to 5.0.5.2

2 ways, either plug it in via usb and mount it from your notification bar on the phone, or download the rom via the web browser on your phone, then use Astro file browser(free) to move it from downloads to the root folder of your SD card, then flash from recovery.

How long does it usually take to restore? I have about 18 lines of dots. Should it be taking this long?

5.0.5 first then update
Install the base 5.0.5 first then the google add on if you want the apps. After you boot like that update to the latest CM. I saw this some other place and this worked for me, don't wanna take anyone's credit.

Thanks everyone. 5.0.5.2 worked flawlessly once I was able to put it on my microSD.

If you guys don't have a MicroSD Reader, and have the AmonRA recovery, just boot to the recovery and chose I think the 3rd option (Toggle MS USB). You'll be able to see the phone as a mass storage device.

Can only boot into CWM from SD Card?

So if I goto ROM Manager, I can successfully install CWM. I goto "Reboot into CWM" and I get a install error when it tries to boot. I am able to boot into CWM via MicroSD card but NOT from just my Nook device. I had some issues a few days ago where I accidentally whiped the /system and /data. I've since fixed it (i thought) but I cant help but think this issue is related.
Any ideas...?

I had this problem too. It happened to me, because I had screwed up the boot partition. I had to restore to stock, and then re-nooter to fix it.

I have the same problem running nookie froyo from emmc. I've tried a bunch of different things but have never been successful.
I was able to get it working on stock rooted fine thouhh. Has anyone successfully gotten clockwork running with nookie froyo without using the clockwork sd boot?

Was it easy to restore to stock?

I would download the repartition boot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929670 , put it on the micro sd along with CWR and flash. This should fix your boot partition, which you then can reinstall CWR if you so desire.
If that doesnt fix boot then use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720

will this work on my Nookie froyo on emmc?? without wiping my data?

I am struggling with the exact same issue. I used the Monster Root Pack to restore my messed up NC 1.1 this weekend. After i got everything back to 1.0.1, I have been unable to do a nandroid from CWM. It kept failing. After some searching on this forum, I found that the CWM zip that is included in Monster Root Pack isn't working. So I tried to flash the zip from CWM thread. That errored out, too! I'm glad I found this thread.
So, what does the repartitioning boot do? How would that fix the issue of CWM not flashing? Also, does flashing the repartition force me to have to go back to stock?

Anyone have any success with this?

Nook Color Only boots into clockwork recovery

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.

AM I bricked?

Rooted with manual nooter and everything worked fine. Then tried dalingrins overclock kernal and it wouldnt go past the N boot screen. Did the factory restore with zip file through Clockwork. Still wont boot passed N screen. I have tried holding power and N button and it wont reset. Tried the 8x failed boot and that wouldnt work either. What other options do I have?

You are not truly "bricked" till it won't boot from an sd card... Have you tried that yet?

Remove Clockworkmod, then do the 8x reboot. If it doesn't work, that means you're not doing it correctly. Just keep trying.

Have you tried wiping and reflashing from a bootable sd?

Because there are other OC kernels which were designed for CM7 mods.....

To boot from SD, how can I do that if I remove Clockwork? Should I remove clockwork, flash the stock IMG on an sd and do a 8x boot?

If you are unable to get to your emmc clockwork recovery you need to make a clockwork recovery bootable SD card. It will boot your nook into CWR from the card. Instructions can be found in the development thread. Its not that hard. You just have to burn the image to a spare SD card.
Once you have that, you can flash whatever you like. If a backup of your prior 1.2 is not readily available you can try flashing an older version first (see "return to stock" thread in development) and then updating to 1.2 using the B&N official update. At least this is how I went about a fresh install several months ago just to clean house. You can proceed to manual nooter again.
OC kernels as mentioned before are specific to which build you are running ie froyo, CM7, stock etc. The link above are just stock 1.2 kernels modified to allow for overclocking and few other tweaks such as a different scheduler. Dal has overclock kernels available for 1.2 as well. That's what I use when running 1.2. Just make sure you grab the latest one that is specific for your setup. Hope this helps.
Edit: Here is the restore to stock thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690

Two steps before flashing the stock zip is to format data and cache. It has an error when formatting data. I think this is why the stock flash didnt work the first time. Any suggestions?

What version of CWR are you booting to from the SD card? I have heard of this problem when trying to use older versions that don't have the proper extension support.

Figured out the issue. I did a factory reset by holding the power and home button down. Then I went into clockwork and installed the 1.0.1 recovery. I took out the sd and rebooted. That didnt work....
So I did teh factory reset again, installed 1.0.1 recovery, then Instead of removing the sd, I formatted it and rebooted. This worked perfect. For some reason it wouldnt boot without an SD in the slot. Even though it was formatted through CW.
Thanks for all yor help guys!

I would always get the error message on the first reboot after using a bootable SD card. I bet if you had just rebooted again without the card in place it would have fired right up. Glad you got it working!
When you get your rooted 1.2 setup again, make a nandroid backup and save a copy of the folder to your computer/jump drive or something. That way if you get bootlooped/borked again you can load that nandroid onto your bootable SD card and restore. Won't have to start all over again

Actually have one more issue. I'm trying to do the barnes and noble 1.2 update. Both of my computers recognize a drive but say to insert a disk when trying to drag the update file to them. If I go to device info on the nook it says I have 0.00mb of internal storage. I assume these two problems go together. Any ideas?

I believe both SD card and internal memory technically should be recognized. Unmount the SD card and remove it. It may be causing issues or interfering. Reconnect the device and it should mount the internal storage partition (5 GB). You can drop the update onto the root of this drive. This of course is assuming you don't have one of the newer nooks that has different size partitions (1 GB). Not sure how your restore process may have affected this.

[Q] Tried to install 10.1.3-RC2 now it hangs up or goes to bootloader

Back in May I got a nook HD+ and installed the latest nightly build very easily to SD card. Lately its been kinda slow and wanted to install 10.1.3-RC2. First, I took out the working card and used a new one (backup purposes). First I downloaded cm-10.1.30RC2-ovation.zip with the nook to the downloads folder. With the new card I used win32diskimager to image sdcard-only sdcard-cwm-ovation-sdv1.img.zip. I installed it like I did back in May and Im not sure what happened but I did something wrong and if I leave the card in to boot, it goes to CWM v6.0.3.2. If I take the card out it just hangs at the cyanogen circle just keeps going around forever. I can't get back to the stock nook os at all (although I dont ever want to use the stock nook os anyways).
I re-imaged two cards with a fresh download of the files and still having problems. I tried wiping the data/factory reset and wite cache partition then reinstall cyanogen for something to try, but same results. I also tried the a hybrid install using sdcard-cwm-ovation-hybridv3.zip but same results.
Good thing is that the original card I made back in May still works same as always (however when I use it after re-trying to install 10.1.3 a screen comes up "android is updating optimizing app XXX of 227)-only for the first time after trying a reinstall.
Im not sure what I did. Any ideas for something to try?

The problem is that rc2 is for installing on internal memory and you are trying to install it to SD. So instead of installing to SD, it installed it to internal memory and messed up stock.
To fix it, first download one of my plain stock ROM zips from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 6. Then burn a new image for emmc CWM (get it at that same thread) to one of your new SDs and boot to that. It will say the CWM is for stock in the title. Flash that plain stock ROM, followed by a factory reset. Then you should be ok.
If you want to update your SD install, you must pick a ROM zip from the SD thread.
