Sorry if this was already posted, ive tried to search but i cant find anything useful
I bought a blue dot nook color and had put the latest clockwork mod and had put on cyanogen mod 7.1 rc. What i was told was that it shouldve repartitioned my internal space to 1 gigabyte data/apps and 5 gb for other data.
But i found that it was still 5 gb for data and 1 gb for media.
So i went and tried to flash a repartition zip i found from a website
mrm3.n et/nook-color-how-to-blue-dot-nook-color
so i rebooted and the cyanogen android on a skateboard just loops over and over again. I was pretty stupid for not backing it up before doing it.
so my question is, how can i fix this?I will appreciate the help
You DON'T have repartition in order to run CM7 on your 1.2 stock-ROM NC.
Repartition to 1G /data 5G /media is an option, in fact, I do 1.96G /data
Reference link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
CWR/CM7 don't repartition on their own- you have to do that separately. Anyway it seems like your problem is that you did the repartition, but not the reformat.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Download the appropriate partition file and reformat file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
2. Put those files on your sdcard along with CM7. I'm assuming you've already burned the sdcard with a Clockwork image.
3. Boot into Clockwork, wipe data, cache, & dalvik cache
4. Flash the repartition zip, reboot into Clockwork
5. Flash the reformat zip
6. Flash CM7 & reboot
That should get you running again. Note that your nook will be wiped during the reformat, but not the sdcard.

Okay, i've been having a problem where my device gets stuck at the g1 screen after i flash ANY rom, i've given each rom i've attempted to flash up to 10 minutes each, i have to resort to a battery pull and nan restore to get my phone working again, i've tried flashing roms on two different cards, both with the same horrible end. I've tried reformatting, repairing partition, and wipe wipe wipeing, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
my specs:
OS: im running cyanogen's donut (which i have a nan backup of)
SD: 4gb class 6
Radio: latest
SPL: Danger
Recovery: Amon_RA's
Ext3: 1000mb
swap: 32mb
what rom are you tryna flash ill help you out.?
for example if you want the new cm508 t4 then u gotta download the following in the listed order:
1. download & install the newest radio for your device
2. download & install the danger( aka deathspl )\
3. download & install the latest version of cyanogen for your device.
that easy bro. HERE is a gide a friend of mine put together for me and its acurate and current. although there are nomore file links so u have to search google or xda search for the needed files.
good luck.
Requested to be moved to Q&A because this is NOT Development.

Why can't you wipe?
Do a fresh nandroid/bart backup of your current working system.
Backup your SDCARD FAT partition to your computer.
Reformat your SDCARD (completely, no ext partition or swap partition)
Make sure you have Amon_Ra 1.7.0 recovery installed
Restart your device in recovery.
Wipe data and dalvik-cache.
Repartition your sdcard
Convert ext2 to ext3
Convert ext3 to ext4 (optional)
Mount SDCARD from Recovery onto your computer.
Re-download your the rom that you want to install and gapps if applicable and place them on the root of your sdcard.
Safely remove the device from your computer
Unmount the SDCARD from the phone (may need a reboot)
Flash your desired rom (don't reboot yet)
Find ddms.bat in the tools folder with the AndroidSDK and run it.
Click logcat
Reboot your device and let it SIT and watch the logcat.
If it seems to stop for a long period of time highlight the lines at the bottom and save the file to your desktop. Open it to confirm that you have the log in your text file.
Upload it to pastebin and post the link in this thread for others to help you further.
Having successfully been using Froyo for a while, I decided to try the CM7 RC. After the flashing the ROM the Nook got stuck in a boot loop, after several attempts, I tried to go back to Froyo. Formatted the System and data under mounts and storage then flashed froyo, now stuck at the Nook N. Repartitioned the boot partition and tried to restore to stock no luck any help would be much appreciated.
- Stuck at Nookie 'N'
A couple questions first; did you reformat your eMMC to EXT-4 by formating system, data, and cache with CWM 3.0.1.0.? Which is required before flashing CM7. If you did then you cannot go back to froyo without reverting back to EXT-3, by formating system/data/cache with CWM 3.0.0.5.
You also may have a messed up boot partition, try flashing one of dalingrin's kernels for froyo or CM7, whichever one you're trying to recover. they are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
That's about all I can say without knowing if you went to EXT-4
This will fix your problem....
Make a bootable SD immage of CWR. Burn it with a tool of your choice.
After that is done: Open up the sd card and toss the ROM that you want to flash in the root folder. (Hell, or make folders, thats what I do)
Next insert the SD card and restart your nook. You will have booted into CWR where you can then flash the Rom you stored on the SD card.
EDIT: Here is the link of the CWR images: http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/
Thanks for the quick response, I am currently using CWM 3.0.0.6, I tried your suggestion of using dalingrin's kernel, no luck. One thing I failed to mention is when I attempted to flash froyo it aborted every time.
btw colbur87 I am using a bootable uSD card...

Try getting the 3.0.5.0 CWM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Then flash it to your uSD card.
Boot to said uSD card
Format /data, /system, /cache
Flash Froyo.zip
Clear Davik-cache
reboot
install OC kernel
clear Dalvik-cache
reboot
I think when you formated with 3.0.6.0 you upgraded your eMMC to EXT-4, and froyo can only run on EXT-3. I may be wrong, but this should set you back up with froyo anyways.
If you're still stuck at the 'n' screen after this, then your /boot partition may be corupted, and someone might have to supply you with a proper one.
This helped a lot it turned out to be the incompatible file systems EXT-3 EXT-4.
I was able to restore my nook to stock. Now I will start over, again thanks a lot....
Hello guys,
I have a little problem which seems to be coming when I move the dalvik cache to the EXT partition of my device.
I am using the latest version of MIUI. It has A2SD built in, but it doesn't seem to be working. It was working before though...
What happened:
I restored the NANDROID backup of the stock ROM I had made before flashing MIUI. Once I booted into it, it warned me about the 2.3.4 OTA update. I did it, but forgot that it overwrites the bootloader, removes root and I will not be able to revert to MIUI.
I pushed the Clockwork recovery and immediately started restoring the NAND backup of my MIUI ROM. Without gaining root on the Stock 2.3.4 ROM.
The Dalvik was moved to the EXT on the MIUI I was trying to restore and functioning properly.
The restore went fine, until it got to restoring the sd-ext. It stood there at some *.tmp file for an hour or so. I removed the battery, booted into recovery, wiped and started the restore again. This time it finished, but when I went to start the phone, it got stuck at the Nexus logo, not even showing the MIUI boot screen.
Wiped again. Tried booting into a previous backup, which didn't have the Dalvik moved to the EXT partition. Restored and booted just fine.
I tried several more times restoring the latest backup I had (the one with dalvik to ext) and got the same result.
Then I tried installing the MIUI backup that didn't have Dalvik moved to EXT and tried moving the Dalvik to EXT. The phone rebooted and same thing happened. Didn't want to get past the Nexus logo.
I then wiped everything except batt stats, formatted ext, and flashed the MIUI ROM. It booted perfectly, but A2SD was not working, just like before (solution was to move dalvik to sd). I downloaded the A2SD GUI only and moved the dalvik to EXT AGAIN. And AGAIN - not booting past Nexus logo.
The only thing I still haven't done is formatting the SD and re-creating the EXT partition.
Any other suggestions on what may be causing this and how to fix it?
I want to have a2sd on this ROM and moving the dalvik to EXT seems to be the only way of achieving this.
Repartition SD card, you've most probably corrupted the EXT partition by pulling the battery.
Do you think that restoring the last MIUI backup I had after this will do the job?
After repartitioning? As long as you back up the files from the main FAT32 partition on the computer, and restore them back - the EXT will be overwritten when restoring nandroid anyway.
Well.... I just formatted the card with Panasonic SD formatter. Transfered only the nandroid backup (without creating an ext partition beforehand) and restored it successfully, but when the phone starts booting it is stuck at the Nexus logo.
I also checked the MD5 of the backup and everything is fine.

Wipe Cache and dalvic. Than try again. Your System Need a ext wenn you push dalvic to sd before.
I ran out of options.
Formatted the card, tried restoring - Nexus logo
Wiped Everything + Dalvik and Cache, restored - Nexus logo
Wiped Everything + Dalvik and Cache, didn't restore old MIUI backup - successful boot. When I tried to move Dalvik to EXT after the successful boot - Nexus logo after restart.
If anyone can suggest anything... Because this way I have no access to the A2SD on the device with this ROM. And everything was working fine before I restored the Stock Ginger.
Did you try installing DT on any other ROM and try and move dalvik to the sd to see if it does the same thing?

No. I haven't tried with another ROM. I guess I will try CM7 and see what happens when I move the Dalvik to the EXT.
I repartitioned once again, this time using the same EXT size as before the breakdown (512MB). When the backup I am trying to restore was made.
Was using 1024 when I partitioned previously and got the Nexus logo again.
Edit: Same thing. Successful restore and then the Nexus Logo.
I suspect it's the ext partition. Why don't you try formatting through recovery, and do a clean install?
Which recovery do you use? I would avoid Clockwork 3.x...
Well. I formated using Panasonic SD Formatted and then partitioned using the recovery. I did a clean install after that and as soon as I move the Dalvik to the EXT, I can't boot past the Nexus logo.
Yes, Clockwork 3.x. I guess I will try Amon_RA as well. Nothing left to lose.
If you partition with Amon Ra, make sure you up the partition from ext2 to ext3 (available through the Ra menu options)...
Ok. Partitioned with RA.
Tried to transfer the nandroid backup made by Clockwork to a sd/nandroid folder so I can restore it from within RA but it kept giving out some error telling me to look at the recovery log when I selected *.img files from the list.
Good news. I booted into MIUI and installed a2sd GUI. Moved Dalvik to EXT without a problem. I guess Clockwork's partitioning is flawed. Everything is working fine now.
Thank you.
Can anyone suggest a method I can use to restore the Clockwork made NAND backup + the EXT backup now when my partitions are finally alright.
Any method would be fine. Even manual through adb. I don't care. As long as I restore my phone to yesterday.
Thank you guys once again.
You should be fine if you load a clockwork prior to v3.x. I think 2.5.1.4 was the latest version prior to the v3.x series. The issues only arise with v3.x.
But only clockwork is able to restore clockwork backups, and the same goes for Amon_RA.
As an alternative, you can just extract the img files and manually load your data back on. It is definitely more time consuming, but it wouldn't matter what recovery you use. It has been a while since I extracted anything from the img files, and when I did, I just got the data from apps stored on the internal (apps and dalvik were stored on the sdcard), and I think the only program I used was unyaffs2 to extract the data.
Thank you guys!
Partitioning the card with Amon_RA and restoring the old Clockwork-made backup with Clockwork 2.* worked perfectly.
I will not use Clockwork ever agian. Putting Amon_RA and that's it.
You will only have this problem with clockwork 3.x - there doesn't appear to be the same issue with clockwork 2.x
I have been using v2.x without any issues (never upgraded to v3.x). I prefer it because it gives me the option to wipe the /system partition, whereas Amon_RA is missing this feature and you can only do it with a flashable zip.
I use 2.x for a number of reasons. I tried 3.x a few times, but always had ext issues on my N1. Having said that, I've used 3.x on my nook, MT4G and G2, and never had issues with them - just on the N1...
I've used RA 2.2.1 on CM7, MIUI ,Sense rom. I never seen sd-ext issues on my Nexus One.
I reverted from the dual poot through internal partitions.
The dualboot was set up via this topic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275859
After that I ran the revert dual boot zip and then used the customer partition setup from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
Suddenly, I could only boot to cwm. No matter what boot option I would choose, cwm would load. It would let me flash roms but I could not boot into them. I eventually got around this by re-installing cwm using rom manager from a rom running on an sd card.
That created a new problem. Every time I tried to boot, it would not mount emmc. I tried installing the rom MiRaGe. This had the strange effect of mounting my sd card as emmc and my internal drive as my sdcard
I found this guide and tried to restore my partitions back to original
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25354258#post25354258
I am using the cwm from that thread as well. I am back to booting into a black screen no matter what rom I use.
Are there any suggestions on what I can do next?
Sounds like you have your partitions pretty messed up. Go to my partition repair thread linked in my signature and follow the guidance there, including doing the partition 2 repair. Do not forget to format the partitions immediately after the repair zip is run.
That swapping of emmc media and sdcard is a setting inside of CM7. It is intended for users who have no SD and want to use emmc media as sdcard.

Thank you for your help.
Here are the steps as I read it and the order in which I did it
1) Flash sd card with CWM-5.5.0.4-bootable_SD.zip
2) Copy NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip, NookColor-emmc-repair-partition-2.zip, and NookColor-emmc-repair-partitions-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip, and update-encore-cwm.5.5.0.4-emmc-racks.zip.
3) Boot into cwm from sd card
4) install zip "NookColor-emmc-repair-partitions-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip"
5) reboot system
6) install zip "Copy NookColor-emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip"
7) reboot system
8) install "NookColor-emmc-repair-partition-2.zip" (This does report success)
9) reboot system
10) install "update-encore-cwm.5.5.0.4-emmc-racks.zip"
11) reboot into cwm
Now that I am boot into cmw (I took out the sd card before boot to make sure it installed properly,) I follow these steps
1) Install rom and gapps (encore_CM72-MiRaGe-09302012.zip) It reports sucess
2) Boot into black screen.
Can you tell me if I am missing a step or if I am doing one of the previous steps incorrect?
****edit - I seem to be able to install cm9.
I'll report back after testing it out.

You did everything right. You may have had a bad download of the mirage zip.
Hey Guys.
I'm in a bit of ****.
I did my first rom flash yesterday, and all worked well. However the system would reboot once every 12 or so hours.
I noticed when I did CWM Recovery 5.5, that the total data wipe failed, but I researched that it was an issue, and had been fixed in CWM 6.0
The rom description said that if a total data wasn't done, you would have problems.
So I flashed 6.0, and did the CWM Recovery again with all the wiping options, but when I went to 'install zip from sd card', the file wasn't there. I assumed that the contents of the card wouldn't move, or be deleted, but it obviously was.
Now when I followed the original guide on XDA, I did the backup as stated, but it must not have worked, as in restore it's telling me there's no backup file found.
So at the moment, all i'm getting is the Samsung Galaxy S3 loading screen, but it's not going beyond that.
All I can access is CWM, and the Downloading screen.
What can I do to get my phone accessible again?
Thanks
plug your phone to PC (with downloaded ROM)
go to cwm -> mounts and storage -> mount usb storage. Now you should see Phone SD card on your PC. Put ROM in main folder uplug and flash.
if it doesn't help you should flash via odin (at download mode) 3 file ROM (f.e. JW1) with pit512 and re-partition checked, then flash kernel with cwm and start fun with cwm flashing.
Keep your ROMs and gapps and kernels etc on microSD next time
I do that so when I flash a new ROM I just wipe and format everything. I know its not necessary to format SD, I just do it anyway to clean up folders from old apps etc.
