[Q] Able to restore to stock, but...

My boot went corrupt with CM 7.0.2. I was able to restore to stock with no problem, but everytime I attempt to install CM 7 (stable or nightly), I get a black screen except for a little white/light blue line in the upper right corner.
I use the 3.0.0.5 Recovery with the directions in the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Does anyone have an idea why this happens? I do remove the SD recovery card, and insert a blank SD card before rebooting.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Use 3.0.2.8 recovery

Thanks, I'll give that a shot right quick.

Tried it and it boots back to the black screen with the line in the upper right corner.
Here's what I did.
Made the bootable sd card, copied over lastest build of cm7 and gapps.
Installed zips.
wiped data.
switch sd cards, rebooted
also tried it w/o wiping data.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Wiping cache?

Should I do that before or after installing the zips?

wipe system, data, cache, then flash zips

Just tried that, no dice. It's still going back to the same screen.

Download the cm7 again, might be corrupt

Just downloaded a stable release, and it works. Is there any reason why the Nightly 80 wouldn't work, even after re-downloading it?

I'm also dealing with the same issue as well. The problem started when I tried to update from nightly 76 to 77. I also tried to flash to nightly 80, but no luck. I'm flashing a stable release now.
Edit: Flashing the stable release also worked for me. However, I wasn't able to flash the latest nightly over the stable build.

Yep.
Same problem here.
The stable works, boots fine, but the nightlies won't boot.
They go into the same flashing blue line.
I tried all the advice I could find, wipe system, cache, data and tried restoring to stock, still no dice.
I am using CWM 3.0.2.8.

I'm just a different flash method (verygreen's SD install), but found that nightlies beyond 75 won't boot without installing the .32 OC kernel. There's a discussion in both cyanogenmod experimental nook forum and in the dev forum here about it.

I guess I'll just wait until they resolve the issue then. I was really wanting to see how well the deep sleep worked.

Finally got the latest nightly from today with OC kernel and gapps. Running great so far. Just waiting on market being able to download.

[Q] SD Card Removed???

Ok, so I went from Classicnerd to CM9 Alpha 2 to the CM9 Unofficial Nightlies and I am having an issue with the latest update. It seems that when I upgrade to either the CM9 Official Nightly or the most recent Unofficial Nightly, I am getting an SD Card Removed error. It seems to be linked to the upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. All the apps that have been moved to my SD Card partition are not accessible. Anyone know why? I haven't wiped completely, because I am happy on 4.0.3, but I just wanted to see if there is an answer for this?

It sounds like something got corrupted. If you have a good backup, restore it, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. That should do it. If you don't have a good backup, try wipe delete factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and install the latest nightly. You'll have to restore your data, but that's what you get for not having a nandroid.........
Good luck.
Edit : Rereading your post, I think you'll have to do a clean install of cm9. ClassicNerd uses different source. If you have a good backup, you can try advanced restore > restore data, or Titanium.

Yes, he's right.
When going from one release to the next in the same style of series (Alpha2 => Nightlies => more nightlies), you can get away with just a wipe of the /cache and the Dalvik cache. If you go from CN => Nightlies or Nightlies => CM, or any other combo that isn't the same series, you are best set to do a full backup, then a full wipe and start fresh. You can try an Advanced Restore, but be aware it might not work.

I too am having the same problem... it first occurred with the upgrade to 4.0.4. I wiped every thing restored cm9 backup and wen I'm instcalling apps and moving them to sdcard after about five apps my sdcard is removed and will not mount. So I reverted to cm7 (got to have headphone jack) and after moving some apps the samething occured again...

Since we are talking about wiping, I would just like to chime in and ask how that is done on the TouchPad. The only other Android device I have ever owned is my Droid X2 that I use now. And when I want to wipe that, Motorola has a method of doing it to where it sets you back to stock factory settings with a file they provide. Since the TouchPad isn't an official Android device and all, what do you use to wipe it and start over? A link to a thread that explains it would be helpful. I'm sure there is one. I will look.

for an answer to the OP i found this on rootzwiki....dunno if ok to post link but ima do it anyways...remove if frowned upon:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13277-cm7-fixes-for-sdcard-issues/
to fix my sdcard issues i AMCEUninstalled android and did a clean install of the latest moboot, gapps, clockworkmod, and cm9 A2. As for fixing the sdcard issue it also fixed alot of other things....no more Google maps constantly opening and wat not....much more stable.

Use ClockworkMod to wipe data/factory reset

[Q] Gapps

I just flashed the newest daily build of cyanogenmod on my nook HD+, via a wipe/flash from clockworkmod. That works fine. However when I attempt to flash the Gapps, the procedure goes through as if they are installed, but they do not show up as apps on the system. I have tried wiping data and flashing again, wiping the dalvik cache and flashing, but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?

What do you mean as apps on the system? Which apps are you expecting to show up?

I just put the latest CM 10.1 on my Nook HD+ a week or so ago and I think (and I may be wrong) but it only installed Google Play in order for me to get the rest of the apps (gmail. youtube, etc.)

None of the google apps appear. Not Playstore, not gmail, I don't even have the ability to add a google account. I tried the 8-12 nightly build, so now I'm going to try the 8-13 build to see if maybe it will work....if not any ideas?

I followed the steps to the letter in this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 except I used the 8/1/13 build and it all worked flawlessly. Maybe wipe it and try starting over.

Cab't boot into CM 10.1.3 without flashing gapps for 101.x. Help !! :|

I am running CM 10.1.3 RC2.
My Nook HD+ gets stuck at the cyanogenmod boot screen everytime I try to reboot it. It does not happen if I restore to my baseline backup. But as soon as apps are updated, it gets stuck at the cyanogenmod logo again after reboot.
I think it is related to google apps updating itself because whenever it gets stuck, I have to flash gapps for 10.1.x again through CWM recovery to make it boot up, for which, it again takes a heck of a long time, even on subsequent reboots. (it does boot up, it takes a very long time to get past the CM logo screen increasing my boot time to around 2 mins).
I also updated to see if CM 10.2 nightly runs fine on mine. So far, there s no issue with CM 10.2 bootig up and its boot time but it is a tad bit slow and buggy as compared to 10.1.3. So I would like to stick to a 10.1.3 RC2 rom that boots up in inder 30 seconds without having to flash gapps again and again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!!

The long boot times has to do with how many apps you have installed. On boot the operating system must compare the dalvik cache files with the installed apps to make sure it does not need updating. The more apps you have, the longer it takes. And of course if it finds it needs updating, it takes even longer while it rebuilds (optimizing apps). So if you want it to boot faster, delete unnecessary apps.

Thank you for your reply
But I hardly have any applications installed ! The boot time on 10.2 with exactly the same applications installed is around 1 minute.
The problem of boot time is secondary.
The major problem is that even though CM 10.1.3 RC2 boots up fine just after I restore it through CWM (after optimizing apps), it always gets stuck at the CM boot logo after reboot and I cannot boot into it until I flast gapps. Then, even after doing that once, once google apps are updated I guess, if I try to reboot again, it gets stuck again !! And then I have to flash gapps once more. So, I cannot boot into CM without flashing gapps.
Could you tell me what seems to be the problem here that gets resolved by flashing gapps ?
Is there anyway I can see the log of CM boot up process ?
Is there anyway to wipe everything on the internal memory of the tablet and install CM afresh ?

I am running CM 10.1.3. While I don't have the same issue as you describe but have a boot problem also.
I have not been able to boot without first wiping dalvick cache every time. Are other having this issue or do I have something messed up? BTW this install was made as an upgrade from RC2.

Yes, I noticed that I was able to boot into CM just be wiping Dalvik cache as well !!! I don't need to flash gapps every time actually.
Thank you for pointing that out.
So you are not the only one with the issue i guess, we are both in the same boat.

Found a thread here that helped my issue. I can't find it at this time. I would really like to credit and thank the poster. Now I can boot w/o going into CWM and wiping dalvick cache.
When you get it booted, go into setting/launcher/home screen and uncheck Wallpaper quick render.
Good luck!

Edit to say credit goes to Arron Camp for this fix. Thanks Arron!

downgraded my nook from cm12 to cm11 and now am getting "Encryption unsuccessful"

downgraded my nook from cm12 to cm11 and now am getting "Encryption unsuccessful"
i have 2 nook hds and were running lollipop on both units before going back to cm11 the install on my nook hd worked perfectly. however on my wifes nook hd i get an error saying "encryption unsuccessful" when i installed cm11. i used the the lastest available cm11 nightly on both installs and followed the steps. i am at a loss right now as to why my unit works great and im getting an error on my wifes. anyways, i have twrp installed and tried to wipe all data off the the tablet with the advanced wipe and format data functions to try and clear everything off and start again. wondering if ther is a more complete formatting tool that i can use to wipe everything off the tablet and start clean again? any help or direction is appreciated.
thanks everyone!

Which version of recovery did you use to re-flash CM11 on the 3 tablets?

You should never wipe any partition other than the /data and /cache partitions (the /system partition automatically gets wiped on flashing a new ROM image). In particular the two partitions /bootdata and /factory which contain factory-installed individual device data must never be reformatted/wiped (without first backing up their content in a restorable form) lest you permanently brick your tablet.

I believe I loaded twrp 2.8.7.4 on both. Thanks for the helpful info. Your greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest you try using the older but well-proven recovery for CM11 -- CWM v6.0.4.6.
