Hello everyone. I just flashed CM12.1 in my Fire 7, which was version 5.1.1, usingh the FlashFire app.
It worked first time, but somehow the gApps wasn't installed and I wanted to wipe the internal storage as well to get rid of some crap there.
However when I tried to flash again, an this time I wiped the internal storage, I got stuck on the Amazon logo. Is this because the internal storage wipe or could be other issue?
Now the main question is, can I recover the device from this or is it bricked?
Thanks a lot!

Reload FireOS 5.1.1 (or higher) assuming you can access stock recovery via <power>+<vol-up>. Otherwise you scored a brick.

Hi, I kinda messed up.
I have the international variant of the HTC One, and I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 (stabe) after rooting it. After that, I switched to the Google Play Edition ROM, and then tried to flash Cyanogenmod 10.2 over that. I backed up, wiped data, cache etc, and tried flashing CM10.2, but it failed. So I wiped data again and accidentally erased internal storage too.
Now my phone is stuck at the HTC boot logo, and I can't do much with it but access recovery, but I have nothing to flash over it. Please help.

What recovery are you using as you can sideload through adb allowing you to push roms.
The options is normally found under advanced.
To push use the following command. adb push romname.zip /filelocationonphonehere/
Hope this helps
I have a Nook HD+ that has decided to go into a boot loop again. I say again because it also got stuck in a bootloop about 3 months ago when I was trying to upgrade it to CM11. I was able to fix it by flashing the CM11 ROM but that didn't work this time. So I did a data wipe/factory reset from CWM which seemed to work, but it was still bootlooping. So I tried flashing another CM11 ROM (cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-ovation.zip), which seemed to take longer than it should have, but it did install. It's still bootlooping. A few times it did seem to boot up, but it either refused to unlock or rebooted again before I could do anything. The interesting thing is when this did happen, it showed the home screen and all of the apps still seemed to be there, despite me having done a data wipe/factory reset. IDK what else to do. The boot animation is really laggy if that means something. Please help.

You should start completely fresh including recovery:
Use sdcard recovery that leapinlar has available.
Put cm11 emmc recovery and the cm11 emmc m12 rom on sdcard.
Boot to sdcard recovery.
Flash cm11 emmc recovery.
Reboot to newly flashed emmc recovery.
Wipe data & cache factory reset, dalvic, and system.
Then flash cm11 emmc m12.
And hope that works. If not, it can get much more complicated.
So, I went and installed the developer preview and when I rebooted it said I only had 23 GB of space... Is anyone else having this problem. And if there is any way to get it back? I installed everything from the Google link

this happened to me running multirom...you need to have stock recovery...no multirom...and factory reset...
then the usable storage shows 55gb ~58gb or usable storage
I flashed everything including recovery and userdata
fastboot format userdata is the only fix with a custom recovery. With stock recovery, factory reset may be sufficient.. Youll lose all data including sdcard
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.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using XDA Premium HD app
Thanks for the advice. It worked with CWM!
The other day i took my HD+. I havent used it for two years, and had been running the hybrid boot from the sd card, which was awesome! Well, I wiped the SD card and wiped the tablet. So essentially it was stock.
I formatted a new microSD card with verygreens recovery, booted it, flashed the rom and google apps, and thought everything was fine. Well, I kept getting a google services stopped working error so I decided to just experiment with Marshmallow. I went into the recovery, wiped everything, and flashed amaces ASOP rom. Then tried flashing gapps, and got an error that said that I didnt have android 6.0.x
Must have failed. And when I booted from the SD, sure enough it booted to KitKat, the one I had flashed previously. Well, eventually I took out the SD and to my surprise, cyanoboot was installed to the tablet and not booting from the SD card. And the marshmallow rom launched (without gapps). I tried booting into the internal cyanoboot, but it was the old one. I held the power button and the home button, but to no avail.
This is probably where I messed stuff up. It started booting and started booting stock, which I didnt want. Where it has the little white loading bar. I force shut it down. Well then it started acting weird and not even booting with the internal cyanoboot. It now just flashes the nook logo.
Luckily, I can boot to the external cyanoboot, but it has an error mounting the emmc. Should I reflash the stock rom and recovery?
Thanks!

Running CM internally on EMMC and on SDcard use different CM ROM image versions that are not interchangeable. Currently there is no SDcard build for CM12.x or CM13, so your only choice is to flash and run them on EMMC.

If you plan to go back to stock ROM and recovery, see item #6 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613.
I don't really care about going back to stock, but I can't mount the emmc, will flashing the original recovery fix that do you think?

I don't think the cause of your "can't mount emmc" problem is due to not having the original recovery. And there is no point in restoring stock recovery unless you want to re-install stock ROM.
So what do you suggest? Try to flash to CWM recovery and hope it fixes the mounting emmc problem?
Great news! Luckily the rom was still intact. I was able to run a "factory reset" and that fixed the emmc mount problem. The CWM recovery was still installed too and it booted into Marshmallow like I had before!
At this point, can I install a different resident recovery utility? I dont see why not.
Thanks for your help
