[Q] Rom Manager made bad back up image...HELP PLEASE!!!!

I rooted my hero using the 1 click root from the market. I then used rom manager to make a back up image, then flashed cyanogenmod 7.0.2 on it. There was no Market, my home button didnt work, and a few other quirks so I decided to go back to my original os. I clicked on the manage and restore in rom manager. It went thru the process and said restore complete. when it boots up it has overlayed images, and says "the application Settings(process.com.android.settings)has stopped unexpectedly.FC. As i go thru the set up, many of they options are greyed out and not accessable, then when i get to "finish setup" it FC's and says" the application Setup(process.com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard)has stopped unexpectedly. Then i get a black screen. Just wondering if I can get a good Back up image from someone to put on my sd card, then do a restore? I am pretty noob at all this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Mmhmm...first, 1 click bad, second, rom manager...worse in the wrong hands...
Why don't you download the gapps and put it on the root of your sdcard and then flash it after the 7.0.2 and then you'll be ok I'm sure if you take a little time to figure out you may be the only person that can fix your issue. By that, what I mean is in the install steps I'd bet it mentions to install gapps and if it doesn't let me know and I'll get the op to add that step.
As for all your messed up permissions try running fix permissions in rom manager if you can get there.
~maybe I set it too high...

i tried that first but coulnt get it to work, so i downloaded the rom directly from rom manager. The only thing i can do on the phone now is thru clockworkMod recovery

You can do fix permission in cwm also, I think under advanced. Just whatever you do, do NOT format recovery or misc if those options are in your recovery.
If you're in recovery though you're in the right place to flash. It's just
Wipe data /factory reset
Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
Back
Install zip from sdcard and choose the7.0.2 zip and then thesame thing with gapps.
Reboot system
Edit, you could also just try to restore again from cwm. I'm assuming it holds the backup.
~maybe I set it too high...

ok, im off to bed...i will try this in the morning and post my status, thanks for your help so far

Did you ever wipe between installations and flashes? I always play it safe and wipe boot, cache, data, system and dalvik cache when I am flashing different ROMs and when restoring. Try going back into recovery and wipe what I posted and then restore your backup.

I couldnt wait, I had to try it....YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much. I already had Rocksteady and Gapps downloaded on my comp, so i put those on the sd, followed your steps and BAMM! Works great! I can not thank you enough!

The Very Corrected CM7 & Stock 1.2 Dual Boot Guide

Hello Nookers,
I myself and pndo1 of XDA have posted guides for dual booting CM7 and Stock 1.2. My first one was crappy, my second one was a little less crappy, and pndo1's was pretty good, but had too many steps. So yeah, I decided to clear this up once and for all. Alright, enough of that garbage, let's get on with the guide!
0. Make a CWM sd card using these instructions.
1. Download CM7 to your sd card. I recommend the latest version from here. Also, if you would like to overclock download this. Lastly, if you would like to remap Volume + and - to Menu and Back, download this too. Also, your gonna want (duh) have a copy of Nook Color Stock 1.2. This one is the best in my opinion. Also, if you would like to root Stock 1.2, get this. Now get gapps from here. Almost! Download thishere. And now the multiuboot! Grr... this is tiring... but lasties! Get it here. Put ALL the files you downloaded on your SD Card.
1. Boot into CWM. Go into Backup+Restore and create a backup. Then go into Mounts+Storage and unmount the sd card. Put in an MicroSD reader in your computer. Navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ and find the backup. Copy it to your computer. You can now delete it from the SD Card. Put the SD Card back in the nook. Go into Mounts+Storage and hit "Mount sd card" Now from the same place, wipe system, data, and cache. Now go to the root menu (hit the power button once). Hit "Install zip from sd card" then "Choose zip from sd card" Select prep.dualboot.zip. Then redo the choose zip Select your downloaded 1.2 Zip. It should be called "update_nc_stock_1.2_keepcwm.zip" Flash that. Now wait for it to install. Reboot your Nook. It will boot and will ask you to setup the Nook. Set it up but if you don't have wifi, follow these instructions. After setting up, boot back into CWM using your sd card.
2. Now Choose the zip from sd again, but select ManualNooter. That will take one minute to flash. Reboot again. Make sure your root is setup. To confirm, download an app from the market. Any app.
3. Once that is done, boot back into CWM. Flash the zip "eclair-to-dualboot-0.2.zip" It will duplicate Stock 1.2 to the Second partition. Now go into Mounts+Storage, and wipe system+data+cache. Now choose zip again, but this time pick CM7. Then Choose again, pick GAPPS. Then anything else, like that KeysMod or OC kernel. Now flash Multi-Uboot-0.3.zip. Now reboot without holding anything. It should boot CM7. Reboot, but this time hold the home button. BAM! Stock 1.2. Hope it worked for ya!

I had the same problems as everyone else is reporting on this thread. I did this on Tuesday without the benefit of this guide but with the help of other two mentioned in the OP.
So after talking to iKingBlack via PM, I tried it again yesterday. And here is the exact sequence of events in case it helps anyone.
Install removal script for dual boot found in these forums
Install stock 1.2 from the link mentioned in OP
Boot 1.2 and register the device
Sleep 7.5 hours and then chat with iKingBlack
Install manual nooter, then the apk enabler
Boot 1.2 to check root access
(no boot from now on)
Install prep dual boot
Install eclair to dual boot
Format system, data and cache
Install CM7 nightly
Install gapps
Install multi boot
Reboot holding N and check stock works as it used to
Reboot normally, check CM7 works and set it up
Since then I have used both partitions successfully.

I've been wanting to dual boot my NC for a while now, but I've read several sets of instructions and kept getting twisted up in them. I was also concerned that having a dual boot would make it difficult to impossible to continue installing the CM7 nightlies and the latest Dal kernels.
These instructions look really clear and easy to follow and I thank you for that!
I just want to clarify my understanding: both CM7 and stock 1.2 are run from eMMC, correct? And, because stock 1.2 is on the second partition, it's just business as usual to install the nightlies and the latest kernel on the first partition, right?
Again, thanks for taking the time to rework your instructions again. Your contributions are much appreciated!

Why a special uboot? Stock cm7 uboot (based on bn 1.2) already does multiboot... (hold down n on boot for info) and dalingrin's nook tweaks lets you set up default options from prefs menu...
That said, I didn't read the instructions carefully so maybe there's a reason...

@GirLuvsDroid Your welcome, and yes both run from the emmc. Flash nightlies and kernel like anything. Just nothing to the dual boot partition.
@fattire For me the CM7 Alternate boot option hangs. But again, that's me.

I may have just missed it, but I didn't see where in the instructions to download the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip file.
I found and downloaded v0.4 file from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947698
and it doesn't quite work right. It boots CM7 fine, but it hangs on the Nook 'N' screen when booting into stock 1.2. I'm not sure if that's because of the v0.4 multi-boot file, or because of something else I did wrong. (It did boot into stock 1.2 correctly at the point where you said it would in the instructions).
Any thoughts, or the link to the v0.3 multi-boot zip and I'll flash that to see if it corrects the problem.

MH, it's the link in the OP that says this: "Last one (yes, really!) here." It's not the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip but the eclair-to-dualboot-0.2.zip.
Disgregard this post -- I'm an idiot and apparently blind, as well.

Thanks GLD.
I'll reflash that one (I flashed both, just like the directions said ) and see if that makes it behave better.

I must be blind -- I don't see where it says to flash both. I only see the eclair-to-dualboot in the instructions.
Nevermind -- I found it. It's the last step. I stand corrected and I'm glad I do because I'm planning to do this when I get home from work tonight. Thanks for setting me straight!

Reflashing the eclair to dualboot wasn't the answer, now is doesn't even TRY to boot the stock 1.2.
Now where did I leave that drawing board....

I found the download link for the Multi-Boot-Uboot-0.3.zip:
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...dified u-boot.bin based on B&N 1.2 source

GLD, if anyone tells you that you're not a goddess, you tell them that I said you are.
Of course, that didn't solve the problem. (sigh)
I ran the entire routine again, and this time used the v.03 multi-boot that you found, same problem. It will boot into CM7 just fine, but it hangs up when booting into stock.

ahhhhhh, that's just so sweet, MH!
I just went through the whole process myself and everything went perfectly right up until I tried to boot into stock 1.2. Exactly like you, it hangs on the N and won't boot up. CM7 boots just fine, though.

Well, at least I know it's not just me.
By any chance, have you run the app that changes your Nooks RAM from 'new way' to 'old way'? (1gb data, 5gb apps).
I have, I wondering if that has something to do with it (just fishing of course, it's not like I actually KNOW anything).

Yes, I had a blue dot NC that I repartioned, but I did it using the custom partition (around 2GB data).

Well, multi-boot link added.

Oh, to those whom it doesn't work (stuck on N), try flashing 1.2 zip and manual nooter without rebooting and then eclair2dualboot then wipe system,data, and cache. Then flash cm7 and goodies. Not one reboot. Try it and only then say if it works or doesn't.

I'll try this no-boot method when I get a chance tomorrow. One question for you -- assuming I get this to work, is there any reason I can't restore /data from the CWM backup of my original setup that I made before I started the dual boot process?

I get the same result with the no boot method. CM7 boots fine, Nook stock hangs on the 'N' screen.

I had the same problems as everyone else is reporting on this thread. I did this on Tuesday without the benefit of this guide but with the help of other two mentioned in the OP.

@GLD Yes, I think you can restore safely.
@yellowguy You don't need prep dual boot because eclair2dualboot already takes care of that. And if my instructions didn't work, try yellowguys, a slightly refined method.

cm7 cant flash/find gapps

Just flashed cm7 and gapps. Upon boot everything worked perfect except there was no Google prints like supposed to be. Wasn't any time zone setups or anything just a normal boot.
I setup my Google mail through the stock mail app but that didn't work.
I figured I had a bad flash so I tried it again and tried a third time with a new happened file. Still wont work. Is there a way to manually sync Google?

I keep reading suggestions to flash the gapp zip through rom manager or install it on SD. However I tried to install from rom manager and it keeps wanting to reboot into clockwork and keep flashing from cw. Is it possible to install it from rom manager and avoid clockwork and rebooting?

You have to use clockwork. Are you sure that you are using most current version of clockwork?

Yes it is the most current CW.

ROM Manager is just an automated way to download and flash the apps through CWR. It is the same mechanism as you doing it yourself manually. Both ways are flashing from CWR. What is the date on the gapps you are trying to install? Have you established a wifi connection?

Rom Manager is just a front-end to Clockwork Recovery. I get the best results when I flash files directly from clockwork recovery.
make sure the gapps zip file is in the root (top directory) of the sd card, and then boot into clockwork recovery (you can use the shortcut of running rom manager, and then selecting the second option - "reboot into Recovery").
Once in clockwork recovery, use the volume keys to go up/down, and the N key to select the option that is highlighted (the power button takes you back one level in the menu tree).
You want to "install zip from SD card" and then browse the sd card until you find the gapps zip file and select the N button. It will ask you to verify - you need to arrow to the YES and select N again.
then use the power button to get back to the top of the menu tree and select Reboot System ...
you should now have gapps in your cm7 - when you run the market it should take you through the install / setting up an account, and then give you the shortcut to download gmail, facebook, youtube etc (this automates the download of several commonly used apps).

Agreed. Manually flashing from recovery is my preferred method. You can still download the most recent gapps with Rom Manager and then select them in recovery from the clockwork/downloads/goo-insideme folder. They do not need to be on the root. Reminds me of the old SPRecovery days on my droid

so i tried this;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23788913&postcount=170 and everything works fine until i have to wipe data/factory reset i can do that i enter in that option and the only answer i can select is no
the same with superuser

You have to scroll it down. there is one option YES, but it's "below" screen..

If you are seeing clock work mod screen and a Number of no one upon other in many lines then swipe up your finger on screen because it's a touch recovery mod then you will are the yes option.
But after flashing with smart flash tool you have to just reboot.
You can flash a rom with already

Ok and now what should i do to install zeus,can i do that?

You can always install whichever rom you want. Just don't forget about wipes in CWM.
In Zeus thread, there are instructions in first post... It's easy. Zeus rom & updates are always as cwm zip, so you already know how to do this.

t679 HELP! stuck in boot-loop after root-stock.zip install

grabbed root-stock.zip and cwm just below it (first 2 links on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686384 ) carefully followed instructions, even watched videos on youtube and everything went swimmingly except after system reboot following root-stock.zip install. i must have grabbed the wrong file (dont know how, it was recommended by everyone on every other thread regarding the rooting of the t679) anyway now i need assistance, which root.zip file should i use? how do i get it onto the phone's internal "usb storage" folder? or can i use another device to grab file, transfer to ext. sd, then put ext. sd card into t679? i understand its critical at this point to make no mistakes, i believe i can recover, assuming i get competent advice...
please advise...

p.s. i am attempting to repair wifi and bluetooth errors (assuming its the drivers not loaded properly following system update 2.3.6) though im not certain of the culprit of these errors as i am the 4th owner of this device. assuming an internal battery has NOT leaked onto circuit board causing corrosion, pretty sure its software not hardware issue. phone/sms/network WAS connecting just no wifi/bluetooth. gotta have wifi cuz im out in the woods on the "EDGE" network, home network is fast as can be.

In cwm wipe cache, under advanced try wipe dalvik, then fix permissions then reboot. Please report results.

hey thanks for helping me i really appreciate it. so i tried your advice, in every order possible. fix permissions, wipe (everything), load rom, reboot... wipe, load, fix, reboot... to no avail though. all results in same loop... im getting good at wiping and loading =)
also the location of the rom and cwm files prior to transferring to "usb storage" folder was "downloads" on my windows 7 pc... does this make a difference? i have noticed people saving these types of files to their desktop... just trying to find out where i went wrong... thanks again.
- zCHEMDAWGz

SIDE NOTE: i tried loading different rom "t679-root-v1.8.zip" with exact same results... however i noticed that when i load either version of the new rom when cwm begins installation, and when the progress bar at the lower part of the screen shows about 2-3% complete it is then all of the sudden finished with "complete" confirmation at the end. total time less than 5 seconds. according to instructional videos this process should take minutes, instead of seconds.... just an observation.
- zCHEMDAWGz

That's just root not a ROM. If your willing to start fresh you can try this.
Wipe everything x3
Under mounts and storage mound system and data then format both x3
Flash rooted community rom
Reboot
It should work. If you flash any recent ROM make sure you have the latest cwm or you will get status 7 error.
