I have a NC with a 1.3 update and previously had it rooted using the manual nooter 4.6.16.. until I had to reboot, and it stuck at the loop.
Is there anyway to prevent this?? I have wiped, restarted, wiped again, tried something else. I am new to all this, and have read everything on these website about rooting after the 1.3 update, until I have gotten myself very confused!!!
I want my orginial NC with 1.3 update, along with the market, so I don't want to install CM7. Any suggestions???
Thanks!
I was in the same boat.
I decided Market functionality & re-boot was more important than 1.3, so I opted to go back to 1.2 and now everything is fine/working.
I also used root explorer to overwrite "auto" updates for B&N in registry with "manual" updates http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946969.
Hopefully it keeps things working and I won't get 1.4 -OR- someone will update manual nooter to accommodate 1.4.
Are you updating flash before you reboot?

See, I am so new to this, and I am not sure how to do these updates. I have the 1.3 update, so I just loaded the 4.6.16. that's it. How do you update the flash.

I have been through the same thing, and scoured XDA for a solution, with no satisfactory and permanent solution. In the end it seems the options are to do a Dual boot solution, with one for B&N stock and the other for CM7/MIUI/Phiremod, OR give up on B&N stock and move to CM7, MIUI or Phiremod; which is what I did. Very happy with MIUI from http://MIUI.US.
B&N are going to work tirelessly to mess up dualboots and rooted devices. Get them out of you hair.

You do not want to update flash. It causes a boot loop. Are you only using one MN file? I'm pretty sure there are two MN files you have to flash for 1.3

Yes... I am using the 4.6.16, only. Back when I was trying to do this for the first time, I followed the directions on this website to the letter, and it just never worked. XDA told me, that it was because I already had 1.3 update, so that since that was the case, I needed only to use 4.6.16.
From the MN thread:
1.3 Must do these instructions first with 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16.
You need both.

Sent from my LG Optimus V using Tapatalk
I had a Nook Color on 1.2, updated to 1.3. Rooted with ManualNooter and did the instructions with both 4.5.18 then with 4.6.16. It booted fine several times over a couple of days, as soon as I installed the CWR from Rom Manager it did the boot loop. I went back to 1.2 and did the whole thing again thinking I had done something wrong. Same thing again. I tried to do the CWR 3.0.1.0 zip fix but no dice. Mine loops on the Nook Co (clolored letters). So if anyone has any ideas, on what to do thanks in advance. I guess I am going to try going back to factory one more time and not install the CWR from Rom Manager.
If I can't get that to work - then Cyanogenmod7. I have done another Nook Color for my grandson with CM7 and it works fine. I wanted to try this on another one.

I faced the exact same "nook co" issue. Read through the MN forum and figured out it was because as soon as i booted up, i logged into the market and updated Flash. once i realized the issue, I quickly logged into the market and cancelled the flash update(it had already started an auto update). Never had the problem again.
Good Luck !
The problem is the flash and adobe air update. There's actually a zip file you can flash when you root your device floating around here somewhere. It fixes the problem and 1.3 is happy. There's still a few apps missing from the market.. but nothing major

I read about the updating flash, and yesterday, I finally got back to where I was before it stuck on the loop. Before I could figure out how to cancel the flash update, it updated!!
SO, I can either start over, and figure out how to cancel the update, or just not reboot!

I also found an update to fix the Flash and Adobe Air since it had updated before I could uncheck the auto update. Once I booted to CWR from an sdcard and then installed the fix file - that fixed my boot loop issue and it has been working fine ever since. Try it - worked for me. I actually found a file named FlashPlayer11.0_AIR3.0_Update_Fix_20111020.zip - I'm not sure where, but it worked.
I managed to root my NC once again, but this time...when Flash started trying to update, and I got it stopped!
If it updates by itself and gets stuck on the Loop page, I plan to use the file that is posted above !
Thank you everyone!!
Rather than waiting for it to boot at the wrong time, I would just go ahead and boot into CWM and run the adobe fix. Thats what I did and it has been working great since.

Problem exists even after reflashing, wiping and clearing storage.

Im having similar issues with my 2.2 installation. I have it installed on my wife's non-rooted N1.
Not just that but the market is not even usable. Even if I clear cache.
Again, her phone is not rooted, I wipped everything from her phone then applied Froyo and its been a nightmare. Her phone isn't even stable enough to use and I cant seem to figure it out.
I need to find a way back to 2.1 without having to root her phone. She is adamant about me not doing that to her phone even though Ive rooted all the phones I've ever used with no issues.
I was having the same problem on my N1. Started suddenly two days after the manual upgrade to 2.2. The phone would either freeze to a black screen or sometimes the live wallpaper would continue but the phone was unresponsive even to the power button. Needed to pull the battery to restart.
It stopped after I:
* Turned off live wallpaper
* Uninstalled LauncherPro Beta
* Removed the Pure Calender Widget (was broken after 2.2 update anyway)
* Charged the battery (was down to below 10% when it started happening repeatedly).
Anyone one of them (or none of them) could have been the culprit. My guess it was one of the last two (PureCalender or battery) but haven't had time to troubleshoot it. Try some of these and see if it helps.
Ive tried all that on her phone. I just wiped it again completely and re flashed just in case that was the issue. Phone still had all the issues described in this thread.
I wiped the sd card, wiped all previous system files via the stock recovery and re flashed the update zip. You cant get anymore clean than that and its still so unstable the phone its unusable. I have to either hope soft booting works or pull the battery as a last ditch.
Is there any way I could downgrade her phone to 2.1 without rooting? I tried the shipping rom in the sticky above but it seems that isn't totally legit for stock use because the phone doesn't like how its signed.
I guess I could call google/htc tomorrow but who knows where that'll get me. The only bonus iud that her phone is not rooted so she didn't really have her warranty voided.

I was worried if I was the only one with this problem. Phone improved today (3rd day of using) but I didn't do anything to it. Only hanged once when someone called. Hanged on calling in screen and had to pull battery.

Yes until now it does. Sometimes the power button is reacting a little late but i havent had to pull the battery yet with the older radio.
You might want to download it again and flash that to see if you had a corrupt download. First copy all data from the sd and partition it. Just make everything fat. I havent used the stock recovery in ages so I cant recall if you can partition from there, if you cant, do it on the pc. Wipe everything that the stock recovery can wipe. Then try to flash your new download of the update. You can do this fairly quickly and its worth a try before you go through the process of reverting to 2.1.

Interesting, not that I'm complaining, but after a few days of using 2.2 it seems more stable now....? haven't had any freezes today...yet.
Power button response also getting better.

Got Decad3nce's 1.1 update ROM and it installed fine, everything was working. A few minutes later I got a screen that said that there was a problem with authorization and the Nook needs to be reset. It would then reset and roll back to a non-rooted 1.01 version.
I have tried this several times and have had it happen with Decad3nce's first ROM and the v2 ROM. Good thing I have a backup for my nootered 1.01. This one works fine. Anyone have any ideas as to why I am the only one with this problem? Thanks in advance!
I may just have to wait around for an Auto Nooter for 1.1.

Did you reinstall any data, such as using Titanium Backup to restore from a previous install? If so, don't restore System data, ever.
Thank you Decad3nce and dalingrin!
I can't post in the developer thread either but wanted to say thanks to Decad3nce and dalingrin for their excellent contributions.
I used dalingrin's latest 1.1 GHz kernel after applying Decad3nce's v.1.1 "pre-nootered" update and all apps are working with stable operation. Quadrant scores have been averaging between 1100 to 1200.
Thanks to all the other folks in the developer forums who share their experiences. This is a fantastic community.

Nope, didn't try and reinstall anything, just applied the 1.1 zip. It happens if I just let my Nook sit or if I start using it. I have TiBu, but just for backing up apps and app data. It's funny how I am the only one with this issue. I might uninstall all my apps and try the update without apps. Then I can reinstall one by one and see if any of them are causing the problem.
I have the same exact issue

Sorry to hear this, but glad that I am not alone.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. My upgrade to 1.1.0 from auto-nootered 1.0.1 worked fine.
I had the exact thing happen to me. I had to go back to 1.0.1. I am going to try starting from scratch. I will update my findings after that.
So glad to know that I am not the only one. There is also someone having this problem over on Decad3nce's thread. Thanks in advance to anyone who finds a reason and/or a workaround for this.
My nook was updated Ota to 1.1. Then I don't know how I Reverted to 1.01 afterwhich I applied the pre-nooter to 1.1 againbut only had superuser installed, so I had to install applications directly with the stock browser. Finally installEd titanium backup but still can't use Market or Gmail. No application related to google is allowed to install. This is really weird.

There's a NookColor Q and A forums? It would be in the Development forum if I could post there yet. Soon.
Still no luck getting 1.1 to stick.....
Just a quick update... Now everytime I turn on WiFi on my nootered 1.01 it seems to want to update me to 1.1 and breaks my root. Does that just mean that it is trying to push that update? I may need to block OTA updates then. Still trying to get the 1.1 root to work.
Assuming you don't use wifi 'in the wild' you can block 65.204.48.0/24 (65.204.48.0-65.204.48.254) on your router if you have that ability. This seems to block the nooks ability to get updates. This block is in use by B&N for a lot of things.
it will block the wifi's ability to test whether it's connected or not as the internet connectivity test goes to something in this subnet.
Ok, I downloaded the VZW/LG update on 8/4/11, but once downloaded it reboots into recovery.. I have Clockworkmod Recovery installed. I don't know where the downloaded file is to install it. I assume if I had stock recovery that it would have automatically installed. Can anyone help?
After reboot from CWM, the update screen comes up and says Update Failed or Incomplete.
Also just a note, the update isn't Gingerbread, it is bug fixes and a couple system app updates.

Anyone wondering about the OTA please read this!
If you have CWM installed, you won't be able to take the OTA.
For now, I'd suggest staying away from it until I get a chance to look it over first.
Also, if you're running my decrapified ROM, installing the OTA would bootloop your device since decrapified is deodexed and the OTA would be odexed.
In the next day or so (whenever I get access to the OTA zip file), I'll disassemble it and see what changes it contains (like if it has a new recovery, or new kernel, or changes the board configuration) I'll post back here to let y'all know.
UPDATE
It appears that the update is safe to install for those running the revo stock (not decrapified) ROM.
It makes changes to quite a lot-- new boot.img, new LTE RIL, new CDMA RIL, new LTE baseband ROM, changes to the recovery system to bring it in line with normal Android (still not very 'normal', but normal as in "now contains an installrecovery.sh that android can use"), and a bunch of new ODEX files.
Let me stress this and make it perfectly clear: this update will NOT work if you're running decrapified ROM.
In the next day or so, I'll make an updated decrapified ROM (see? I was waiting for a good reason to make an update ) that will include the OTA in it.
Until then, relax and keep hitting that "ignore" button

There are several things that I do not like about the Decrapified ROM
1. The 3 buttons on the bottom (Phone / App Drawer / Browser) sometimes vanish. Only way to fix it is to reboot
2. When you dock the phone into the car mount, the Navigation doesn't do anything. It would be nice to launch your own GPS app or the Google Navigation app. There are other activities that do nothing.
Everything is is great. Love the Google Integration and Love the missing Verizon Crapware on it (VZ Navigator, VZ Music, etc)
If ur using adw go into adw theme settings and reapply your them and the bottom buttons will deappear

Just flash it via revotoolkit...
The baseband image doesn't appear to change much at all, it's only a minor change it appears...
Mine wouldn't take any deferral time greater than 24 hours....and out of the blue it started about 10 hours after I deferred for 24....
Mine rebooted to Clockwork, I selected reboot, it came back up, displayed a page noting the failure, and everything appears to be working fine -- 30 minutes and counting. We'll see if it tries again...

So i should be able to follow same instructions I used to manually install cwm to install this, correct? Or I could just wait for the new decrap ROM, but I am very impatient.. lol
I am giving up!!!!!
ok.. getting really mad now. I successfully and manually flashed the stock recovery image and verified that with revo toolkit. So applied the update and it boots into stock recovery but not even half way through the arrow becomes an " ! " and reboots and says update failed or incomplete. So now I will put back CWM and wait for the next version of decrap.

You can NOT apply the OTA if you're running decrap!

I know that.. I am using stock rooted. I only meant I would wait for it because you said you were going to include the update in next version..

I'm running Decrap1.1 and couldn't stop the attempted upgrade, since mine wouldn't respond to any attempts to defer. So, I went poking around under the hood. Just on a hunch, I used Titatium Backup to freeze a program called Verizon Package Installer, thinking that might interupt any attempt to actually update. The update loader ran and failed, gave me a warning, and I haven't seen it again since. I also am having ZERO problems with the phone. It's like it went away and isn't coming back.
Do you think my package loader freeze might do that?
Hey guys, i'm not rooted and updated using three file process to get to system version 5.7.893 only to realize that my webtop was there but not working or as they say broken. A known problem in the three fill update process. I kept reading you have to revet to stock via the method posted and then use the single update file package of 54mb to have webtop again.
I didn't want to do that because the process wipes the phone. So i downloaded the single file blur.....5.5.886.XT875 which is supposed to bring you to 5.7.893 after reverting to stock in order to have webtop. Put it on sd and booted in recovery and told it update from sd card.
It went smoothly. So now i have a software version i was really loving because my phone was running smoothly on 7.893 but now i also have webtop again. Version 1 it says.
And i confirmed i was on 5.7.893 before trying this. So i'm not sure it will work for everyone, but according to the instructions given, i didn't have to go through all of that.
If i'm going to run into problems in the future - someone alet me. If not i hope it works for other. Love my webtop.
If someone already posted this somewhere, sorry. Be easy on me
Didn't work for me. Got asert error. Are you sure you ever lost webtop?

yes i am very certain that i lost it. when i was sitting on ver. 5.5893 webtop was very unstable. then when i got up to 7.893 it was gone. i could not access it from the drop down menue when on the dock nothing. i am quite certain it was gone. i battery pull etc etc and nothing there was no option to run it from anywhere. i tried several times. It is curious though that i can install the one package file even with no revert and after already installing the three separate files and you can't. i ran it again last night and it installed just fine again so idk.

1:Back-up always

I can't flash it yet because my computer is in the repair shop and I never do anything risky with my phones unless my computer is nearby

Okay. I wonder if anyone has tried this yet.

Well Im very new at modding Droid X, but I have an important question...
Is the hdmi fully working?
Or is there any rom which make it work as it should?
I mean something like a mirror.
Thanks!
Downloading Now. I just hope it's for the rooted .621 Non-Milestone hack. The Milestone hack (for root) is .604.

Update:
First I tried it without gapps. Everything booted fine, but there was no market nor would accounts/ sync let me add Google account.
So, I rebooted into recovery, which worked fine, and flashed gapps.
This time on boot, I actually got the Droid X welcome screen, was able to put in Google info, and market initiator ran and updated.
After that everything worked fine.
Tested Bluetooth, Messages, Gps and Calls. Didn't get chance to try Wifi yet, but I'm sure it works since everything-else does.
The only thing that Would be better is an updated Superuser. The 1 included will NOT update SU Binary. I think it's the old edify binary. Even by updating Superuser in the market WON'T help. Although an easy fix is to get RootUninstaller and uninstall Rom Superuser, then download new 1 from the market and install.
Keep up the hard work. Nice Rom.
Finally, does this works for any other gb kernel besides .621?
Anybody please tell us!
Nope, but maybe yes

Nope, but I may have a bad download as I forgot to check the Md5 sum before I flashed. Install was aborted. I can't try again right now because I have another phone to flash and have to go to bed early tonight.
And thank your for the review I've been waiting for a review like that I've created a couple roms and no one has have gave me so much input

No prob Kiladar. I think if someone is going to comment on someones work, they should at least review it and be as informative as possible. It makes it easier
on the devs to look at potential probs/fixes too.
Oh yea, I also got to looking into your system/app folder in your zip. The vending.apk is Not in there, which i would say is why I had to flash the gapps. Just wanted you to know.
Also there is no "boot.img" (which is kernel right?) in the new dwnload.
Right, I will update OP saying to flash gapps rather then say not needed

wifi works just fine with it, and I agree bout the updated superuser since you cant uninstall the one you have with it which means you also cant update to the new superuser because they are different volumes but over all nice ROM.:good:

I had it working on mine but my .605 was the .621/.605 deodexed hacked version cause I was on the .621 before I did the work around on the magic 5 route, originally I did the .604 work around but it should work on the .605 stock rooted, but then again I was also running the kernel for the .621 sooooo if the kernel is the key for running it maybe you cant.
Try another download, maybe you did get a bad DL

I tried this again but, I think the real problem is with my microSD card. I have subsequently tried to flash other roms and have had other aborts as well. I know that the md5's on those checked out. I was able to flash a cm9 based rom and got it set up just fine. All this from the same card on the same phone. Sooo I am attempting to format the card just in case I have bad sectors or something.
Luckily my DX is no longer activated and just keeps me from killing my SGS3 with flashes.:silly:

I hear ya, I had the same prob with sd card so i formatted mine as well, problem was still there though. whenever i tried to install a rom from sd card via rom manager the problem was i kept getting the message saying waiting for sd cart to mount then it would say error bla bla bla sending log file to cwm ect ect ect.... i dont know exactally how i fixed that, all i know is i installed another rom, like cm7 or cm9 for instance and after that whenever i went to back up rom it worked fine ever since.... maybe something flashes over correcting the sd card problem when you install a rom... I know rom manager checks to verify the marker on sd card and thats what your problem is I believe.
Try doing this, try installing a rom cm7/cm9 without making a backup (i know you could lose everything if it fails but its the only way i know that fixed mine) after you have installed cm7/9 go to rom manager and hit the Backup Current Rom it should reboot you to cwm recovery and make an auto backup, if it does this without throwing up the waiting for sd card to mount error stuff and it runs the backup program and then reboots you it should fix your sd card problems.....
Review this rom
this is by far a ROM with the least lag by far i tried liquid ICS and plenty others don't know what it is but the lag is really minimal runs really smooth i only have this for like 3 hours but will update soon
pls hit thanks if i helped
