CM7 not booting

I installed the CM7 17 build the day it was released, everything was working fine.
Last night I had downloaded a bunch of apps and shut it down.
Now when I turn it on it is stuck at the 'Touch The Future of Reading' screen.
Any ideas?
I have powered it off 3 times and let is sit for 10 minutes... nothing.

Hopefully you have clockwork mod installed. Something may have been corupted, possibly your boot partition. Either restore a backup via clockwork mod, or reinstall CM7 via bootable micro SD-card.

I booted into CWM, formatted the cache partition, then installed build 19.
Everything seems to be working.
Bluetooth turns on now, it did not before.
All of my apps are still installed.
For future reference, when updating to newer releases, do you only need to format the cache then install the latest zip?

after you flash the zip, go into the advanced menu and clear delvik-cache. CWM may freeze, it's not a problem just hold down pwr button untill it turns off. The wipe of the delvik-cache does go through. Also the first boot after wiping devik takes a long time, don't worry.

Ok I did not do that, should I go back and do that?
So for anyone else reading.
To update from say build 17 to 19 or 20... as they are released
Boot into CW
Format the cache
Flash the zip
wipe delvik-cahce

I would go back and clear delvik to prevent any furture complications. Especially if you flash a new kernel (i.e. the OC kernel).

Turned it on this morning and it as stuck again.
Booted into CWR, formatted cache and wiped dalvik. ... Nothing

I got it after formatting cache then wiping cache.
I don't know why it is doing this...
Could it have anything to do with OC to 925?
I am not using setcpu just the cyan settings

Can't flash in CWM

Hey Guys,
I have this problem where i cant seem to flash to any new roms in CWM with the new roms in zip files on my SD card.
I have tried flashing to new kernels but it doesn't seem to change anything.
The last rom i flashed was Criskelo v7 and i haven't changed because i cant every time i try to flash something new in CWM it seems like it only just starts to do it then freezes and i leave it because it might be working and it always end up rebooting and then i find I'm back on Criskelo v7 as if its a fresh install and it need my google account / full setup as if its new but no new rom.
I have also tried updating CWM with odin it works to update odin but it still cant flash any new roms.
Am i doing something wrong? please if anyone has any idea let me know.
Sorry if this has been covered but i really did try and find similar problems.
Thanks

What does the screen read? Error 7?

if you want to flash any roms using cwm,
1. Flash Safe kernels like Hydracore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863) or Philz Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270).
2. Reboot in recovery
3. Do all 3 wipes (wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache)
4. Flash romzip
5. Reboot
If you want to flash XXLS7 TW JB Dump Based Roms , then
1. Flash Safe kernels like Hydracore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863) or Philz Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270).
2. Reboot in recovery
3. Do all 3 wipes (wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache)
4. Format /system & /preload in mount and storage
5. Flash romzip
6. Reboot
BTW what rom you are going to install

I had a similar issue and it was a root issue.
To see if it is the same for you, if you have SuperSU, open it, and press 'Continue' if prompted to update binary. If this fails, your problem is root related, the solution of which is below. Unfortunately I don't know how else to test if you don't have SuperSU or if the update prompt doesn't appear.
Below is how I fixed the problem. It may not work for you, and if it doesn't, it's not my fault.
Also note this method will fix the issue no matter what caused it, and wipes data, so backup what you need. It also assumes your ROM is flashable.
1 Put your ROM anywhere in /storage/sdcard0 on your phone.
2 Go to hotfile.com/dl/155490069/c7932d4/N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT.zip.html on your computer to download N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT.
4 Extract this to produce N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5.
5 Flash this through Odin.
6 After your phone reboots (you can't get into the actual OS so you must do this in the Samsung boot animation), enter recovery.
7 Wipe data and cache.
8 Enter download mode.
9 Go to puu.sh/1q5mJ to download GL_NOTECORE_HYDRACORE_v4-3b_STD.tar.
10 Flash this through Odin.
11 After your phone reboots (you don't need to wait to get into the actual OS - you can do it in the Samsung boot animation), enter recovery.
12 Flash your ROM.

[Q] Phone Stuck At Boot Animation Screen

Hello Everybody, My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and I have an issue.I am the one who is changing rom constantly.I was using the rom named ''Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios'' for a long time.Lately i loaded another rom, 2 hours after i used, The phone was closed by itself, I tried open phone again but it stayed at boot animation screen.After that, I thought that rom is spoilt, I tried other roms but they stayed at boot animation screen as well.I tried all of roms that i have but result was same.I thought that i should try the rom which i was using before all those problems started.So i flashed Xperiance-Ace-v4_Sky_Walker_Studios Rom.Bizarre but it worked.When it opened i have faced with some pop-up ''android upgrading 0/70'' when it finished (70/70) i was at homescreen and all of my apps that i downloaded when i was using this rom at old days was there.It was so weird, And all aplications started to stop itselves and i even havent touched any of them. Like ''Unfortunately Whatsapp has stopped'' ''Unfortunately contacts has stopped'' ''Unfortunately facebook has stopped'' finally they all stoped working and i tried open applications, No application opened even contacts.
Present state: Only one rom is working, Others staying at boot animation screen and the rom which is working actually not working, Only phone is opening, No application working
What is the Problem? What Should i do? I am waiting your answers, THANKS.

Are you do a full wipe, before flashing another custom rom?

I did Wipe data factory reset, Wipe cache partition, Advanced>Wipe Dalvik cache

I suggest you install the stock rom using odin. It seems you have some corrupted files. Before flashing the stock rom, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Once you have flashed the stock rom, go to recovery mod and do Wipe Data/ Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition (otherwise bootloop might occur). After that install root and CWM from the recovery mod. Now you can install any other custom rom without any problem. Do post your results. Hope I Helped

Uninstall kies, and then download driver for galaxy ace.
Maybe, there is something wrong with your recovery, what recovery do you use?

And, try redownload, and flash that rom again. Maybe, it's corrupted.

i unistalled and nothing happened.
And there is no problem about driver because pc is recognizing the phone which means it's was already updated.
ClockworkMod Recovery version is v4.0.0.9
And i flashed many times

Try installing CWM 5 from the recovery mod. CWM 5 is much more stable than CWM 4. Once you have installed CWM 5, do Format Data/ Factory Reset, Format Cache Partitions, Mount & Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Battery Stats. Then try to flash any working rom with it. Here is the link,
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830

[Q] [Help] S3 Mini ALWAYS restarting

Hi guys.. I need help on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini i8190.. I (think) did everything but nada..
Problem
My phone is always restarting, it gets in to the phone for a few seconds but then always restart.
It is rooted, with CWM Recovery touch 6.2.0.7.
What i have done
CWM Recovery
- Factory Reset
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Wipe Data
- Wipe Cache
*everytime i got into recovery mode, i noticed that the system is unmounted, is that normal?
In the recovery mode, it said that it was success but when i reboot system, still get the same latest phone condition with no change at all. It means the factory reset, and all the wiping did not work.
Odin
- Flash with stock ROM
- Install latest CWM recovery
- Install stock recovery
- Install Cyanogen
In the ODIN, it said that it was a success, still i get the same latest phone condition with no change at all. It means that all the process was not working.
I concluded that this might happens because the internal storage was very full, it has only 16 MB left (according to CWM when i try to backup on internal storage). And i think the only way is to factory reset, but as i mentioned before, i tried using CWM to factory reset but still go back to the latest phone condition.
I am looking forward for your help guys..

i have the same problem and tried also all the ways you mentioned.
this problem drives me crazy. please help guys

Have you tried using twrp instead, just a thought, & maybe clear out internal storage with file manager

Can't turn off my nook hd+ plz help

Im using nook hd+ with latest cm12.1
When i shut down my nook, it automatically restarts
After like 5 seconds.
Please help me how can i turn off my nook??

Do you have power connected? I'm not sure, but I think the hardware forces a power-on when power is connected.

No the power is not connected

This issue has been discussed at length in #Amaces's thread where this ROM is located.
Have you looked there?

Thanks. this thread helped a lot.
It seems like this issue has been fixed in latest 08/03 version of CM12.1.
I will try installing this version today.
Thanks.

Does anyone know how I can fully wipe my current CM 12.1 and install new-latest CM12.1 safely?
Is this safe way to do this ?
- insert sd card and reboot in recovery mode
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install zip files(recovery/cm12.1/gapps)
- wipe dalvik cache
- reboot
Is this safe way to install cm12.1 - 0803 from my current cm12.1 - 0723??
Thank you

I would reboot after flashing recovery.
Reboot after flashing ROM. Set up the basics. Make a back-up. Flash GAPPS, log into your Google account and set up the basics. Make another back-up , wipe cache/ dalvik,, reboot, and then finish setting up your device.
I think you might want to wipe system to and look into converting Cache and Data to F2FS.
Also, I typically wipe everything 3 times when switching ROMs.

Dear sir,
Thank you for your information at my thread.
I am currently running cm 12.1 0803 version with the same auto-restarting problem.
(the shut down functions works sometimes when i shut my nook in landscape mode)
However, I also found out that my Bluetooth mouse is not compatible with CM 12.1 and
I am planning to install cm11 version(because i heard that my mouse works in cm11 version fine).
And i would like to ask you these(I hope you will be kind enough to answer them) :
1. is there a way to make my bluetooth mouse work in CM 12.1 version?
2. which version(date) of cm11 will you recommend me?
3. you mentioned about changing cache and data to fsf2, can you tell me how i can do this? what would be the advantage?
4. you mentioned about wiping everything 3 times, do you wipe 3 times with only booting once? or do you reboot everytime you wipe?
5. Please tell me if this procedure is correct, if i will change my cm 12 to cm 11
- insert sd card and reboot in recovery mode
- wipe data / factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- install recovery and reboot
- install cm rom and reboot
- install gapps and reboot
- format/system(3times?)
- format/data(3times?)
- format/cache(3times?)
- format/bootdata (3times?)
- format/data and sd card (3times?)
- wipe dalvik/cache
- reboot
Thank you.

1) Shut down and boot into recovery isn't working for me on 8/03 either, but I haven't had time to mess with it to find out why not. Maybe wiping system and then flashing 8/03 might work. I wouldn't wipe Data if you're coming from the last July version of 12.1
But, if you hold down the power button long enough, the tablet will shut down. I just can't shut down from the menu.
Once you're completely off, you can boot into recovery with the power/n combo.
I also tried the Reboot shortcut and widget from ROMToolbox Pro and that didn't work either.
1) I don't know much about how to make bluetooth work. I know that some stuff works on these builds and some stuff doesn't
2) I'm using Amaces's Unofficial CM 12.1. I never found a CM 11 that worked well on my Nook HD+
3) Theoretically,F2FS uses flash memory more efficiently. I think we're talking nano or micro seconds here, but many say it helps. To answer your question about Why and How, I'd have to look it up to give you clear instructions. You can do the same, and you'll learn more by researching it yourself, than by me explaining it poorly.
3) I wipe three times, then reboot
------NOTE---
I'm barely above a novice and my advice isn't worth diddly squat
Below is what generally has worked for ME and what I've read that other folks do. It does not mean this is the best way to do it.
The MOST important thing is to read a lot, then read some more, take your time and make back-ups often.
You need to look in the CM11 threads to see what Recoveries are compatible with CM11. Not all of the current Recoveries are backwards compatible.
AND you're better of asking about flashing to CM11 in a CM11 thread, rather than a CM12 thread.
I don't use an SD, I do everything off of the onboard memory.
I use TWRP as my recovery.
1) If I'm going to a new ROM, rather than do Factory Data Reset, I manually go in and choose to wipe System, Dalvik, Data and Cache. I've never touched BootData as far as I remember. I do that 3 times.
2) Flash new recovery if you want.
3) Reboot into recovery too make sure the new recovery flashed okay.
4) I then flash the ROM, wipe Dalvik and Cache 1 time, boot into the ROM to make sure it was a good flash and set up the bare minimum.
5) Boot to recovery
6) Flash GAPPS and wipe Dalvik and Cache 1 time (usually)
7) Reboot and make sure there were no problems with GAPPS
8) Set up my minimum accounts and apps.
9) Boot to recovery and make a back up.
10) Reboot and install the rest of my apps.
11) Make sure everything works okay and once I'm satisfied, make another back up.
If I'm going from one version of the same ROM to the next update, I just flash the latest version, wipe Dalvik and Cache 1 or 2 times and reboot.
Thereafter, I make back-ups ever week or so, depending on how much I've been using my tablet and how much time I have.
