I am looking for a way to flash complete stock rom witch is no where to be found? I deleted system apps thinking that will do the 8 boot fail thing and actually it didn't work like it did before? I need a flashable stock rom if it's possible? Any ideas?
Edit:
I also did a factory reset in cwm and that did not work either.
If you'd like to restore your device to factory default, you're need to do the "8-boot-loop-fail". This is not an automatic process, and you must do it manually.
Turn off your device.
Turn on your device.
Once you see the text "Nook" on your screen (before your Nook boots up), hold the power button down until the screen goes blank (turns off).
Repeat from step 2, seven more times (totalling to 8 failed boot attempts).
Do this eight (8) times, and your Nook will restore to factory defaults on the ninth boot. On the ninth boot, do not turn it off, let it do it's thing. It will take a while, and will restore the device back to stock; erasing all data on Internal Storage.
When performing the 8 boot-loop, I'd note down somewhere the amount of times you've turned your Nook off, as you can easily lose count.

I haven't messed around with the nook.. but before I was able to delete a system app and it restored itself after a reboot?
Anyways.. Your guide did work. Thank you!
So my question now is are we able to edit stock files without it rebooting?

Look at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. I have a factory rom zip that can be flashed with my bootable CWM card. See item 9 and read the show content for the links and instructions.
The reason you are not back to where you were before you reset is because you were probably on a different version of stock ROM before it reset. The one stored on the device is usually older than what you had on it since it probably had updated itself a few times.
When you flash my plain stock (2.0.0) it will update itself to the latest version (currently 2.0.6) when you register.

Glad to hear you've got it sorted.
I'm unsure which stock/system app would cause the reboot, as I haven't looked too deeply into it, sorry. Regarding editing stock files; yes, you can edit to your hearts content to what is visible. However once rooted, you can then edit additional files. You may get away with editing certain files, however, if you edit anything within the "/system/" directory, that will force a system reboot, and will erase all your content.
So in basic terms, you cannot edit within the "/system/" directory on the stock ROM. There maybe other files too which are outside this directory, but I haven't tested them either, sorry. But I can tell you that anything in system is a no-go.
All the best.

Thank you! I will save the zip for backup. It will be much easier then rebooting 8 times.

That is what I was messing with. The "/system" files. I deleted some stock apps and it did not restored itself after a reboot? I am really shocked that it did not reboot itself back to its default. Last time i deleted an app from the /system it restored back to default. I used the latest Es File Explorer.

It could be that ES File Explorer did not really delete them. You have to set /system to r/w before deleting works.

I did R/W to the entire system. I deleted voice recording and then i forget the other apps, but it was all the system. I rebooted and it was completely out of the system. I am going to try to make google apps to work with stock rooted without it restoring itself after a reboot?
Edit:
I was on 2.0.6 Firmware if that means anything?
Edit:
You can edit /system/app but not anything else.
I install gapps and rebooted just fine and it kept all my stuff without it restoring itself..
Thanks

Wow, it is useful for me !thanks
So, I installed PA 4.6 Beta 2 for locked bootloaders on my Xperia SP yesterday. To install the rom I performed all necessary wipes via recovery twice. Now there's this big problem. After I opened my gallery I noticed mutliple similar folders, after checking details of individual images and going to the directories mentioned in image details using root explorer I noticed the following -
1) storage/emulated/0 leads to the current internal storage directory being used by the PA rom
2) There's another 0 directory this directory i.e. storage/emulated/0/0 which contains empty DCIM/pictures/ringtones folders
3) Same as 2, storage/emulated/0/0/0
4) Finally going to storage/emulated/0/0/0/0 leads to the old interal storage which is used to be on the stock rom. All files are intact.
This is quite weird. Can someone please explain what's going on and how can I fix this? This never happened on nexus 4 after installing new roms.
EDIT- Nevermind. Fixed it myself. Although an explanation on why this is happening will be appreciated.
My A5 2017 (A520F) is installed with the Samsung Firmware - Russian Nougat & rooted with Magisk 13.3.
A Brief Rant (Skip the red text, to move right to the issue):
My last Samsung was Galaxy S2 and so many years later, the new Samsung software has become so wannabe iPhone.
So difficult to access my own SD Card via WiFi Transfer and installing a simple theme seems impossible. Due to lack of stable Custom ROM I am sticking to the default firmware as I need the VoLTE (not stable in Lineage OS).
Can anyone please help with the following:
1. How to install a Theme downloaded from the internet? I downloaded Swift Black_10.7.apk but it down't show up in the Settings > Wallpaper & Themes. Installed Substratum too, but doesn't work either.
2. How to get write access to SD Card in WiFI Transfer? I can transfer data through USB on the SD, but when I try to transfer data through WiFI File Transfer, I get the message Sorry, this directory is not writable. Even In ES File explorer, the System or the Emulated folder does not get the Write access despite ticking the 'Write' box
Any solutions?
Got the same problem with WiFi File Transfer pro.

Firstly u need to install any aosp based custom rom. Such as Resurrection Remix. Then install substratum. It works 1000%. I personally used it A520F in Oreo. Remember Substratum doesn't work any stock os. Thnks.
Sorry for my bad english. Cause english isn't my mother tongue.
Not able to find my private files/hidden files using file explorer after latest And11 MIUI 12.5 update. Hidden files are gone from internal storage as well as dual apps storage. Can someone suggest ways to recover it?
Dont hope for an answer bro.
After getting updated to MIUI 13 A12 I'm unable to access or delete second space options. And i disabled MIUI Optimization and now i didn't find that option in Dev Ops anymore.
If there is any way to solve this please update me also the phone is mow very lagging and high ram consumption.
Then you should give a try to custom rom and custom kernels

Is there a way to downgrade
I also had a issue..
Using Xiaomi video..app I made some videos hidden.
Then after mui update..the where visible.
Deleting videos..only worked for a few minutes..then the where back.
Could not even delete any file in the same Directory as the video. Nor the Directory it self.
Removing sdcard..using a pc to delete videos also did not work.
I solved the issue..by removing the sdcard holding the video files ..and replacing it with a other one.
