Android Image Will Not Boot - Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have downloaded omni-11-20201115-rpi4-weekly.zip, checked the md5 hash, and unpacked the image. I have used balena-etcher to flash the OmniWeekly.img to an 8GB SD card. Using LinuxMint I can read the flashed SD card so it looks like the flashing went OK. When I insert the card into my Raspberry Pi4, it refuses to boot.
Any suggestions on what to try next would be greatfully recieved
Regards

First, make sure you update bootloader /firmware.
It didn't boot on my setup too with everything up to date. It turns out 1440p doesn't work. I tried a 1080p monitor and it worked as expected.

autonooter 3 fails

I went to update to use autonooter 3.0.0 with nook 1.1.0 software. I went through the process of installing the autonooter 3 and it booted up with the Android splash screen but it kept replaying the android sequence (spelling android) and it would keep restarting sometimes not getting through the entire spelling of android.
I went to reset to factory defaults and now it constantly reboots after "installing a new software update is being installed..." completes. Autonooter no longer boots it justs sits blank forever.
Please help!
hmmm...
Autonooter seemed to work for me. I just had to make sure that I was on stock 1.1 and it worked.
Try to obtain another microSD card. A 1GB will work just fine for the Autonook img.
Also, I would download another copy of the image. What you are going through seems to be a bad image either burned to the microSD or from the source.
Just my 2 cents.
I am sure that it works but for some reason I seem to be in some exception case and I need input how to get out of this mode. My nook is essentially bricked right now.
Have you tried to restore to stock using these instructions?

I could not get the 8 times failed boot to happen, no matter what the nook boot always happens, I could not get ADB to recognize the device to for the failed boot, I tried the new SD card and image. I give up. I bought it from BN last week so I will just exchange it. thanks for the help.
I have the same issue. The Nook loops the boot screen. The first time it gets through the boot animation afterwards it stops at AND then it pukes. I'm going to try taking it back to stock.
To all of you stuck in this boot loop use my guide posted here to return to stock.
It even includes the link to decadences pre-rooted 1.1 so you can use that instead of flashing back to stock 1.0 or 1.0.1. Good luck and have fun!
Note: Make sure to format /data /system and probably /boot if you are going to flash one of these. Its always best to start from a clean build.
Try the CWR bootable SD...?

Try this... if you have 2 SD cards...
1) Download iMonster's bootable CWR image... (1GB card should be plenty)
2) Download the stock kernel/image from XDA forums and copy onto card #2
3) Using the bootable imaged SD, hold the "n" + power to boot up... you should see two crossbone/skulls image and in-between them, the words "loading"
4) Once it boots into CWR, go to "install from sd"
5) Select the stock image from the SD card...
It should boot back up into stock. Then try the nooter again... try to re-download the file, re-image, and start process over.
Out of curiosity... did you get your nook before or after the who "temporary pulling off of the shelves" incident? I'm wondering if these devices have been reworked at their factory? I know there have been articles that mention that this is just a rumor... BUT you never know.
I used winimage to write the 1.1 image here to an sd card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945838
Put the sd card in the Nook and rebooted. It booted into CWR, I followed the onscreen instructions and now I'm back to stock 1.1.
Reflashed Nooter 3.0.
Back in business.

I think the "pulling off the shelves" is a myth but I purchased my nook the 1st week of January. I've loaded every version of Autonooter as well as Froyo and Honeycomb without incident until now. I'm sure I screwed something up in the process or just had a bad write to the sd. I'm pleased that you can't really brick this great little tablet.

Nook Won't Boot After Formatting SD Card

My Boot will not boot no matter what I do. I encountered this issue after flashing to phiremod v4, which worked beautifully until I decided to free up some storage space on my SD card and format it through the Nook. The next time I tried to boot, I got the dreaded black screen.
I've burned Clockwork Recovery (4gb v .7) onto the SD card and copied the Nook Color V1.1.0_r2 rom (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145). From there, I formatted the data, system, and cache, then installed the rom from the SD card. Everything went through smoothly, until I rebooted the Nook (with the SD card out). Nothing happens! The Nook simply will not reboot without the SD card inserted. Even if it boots (with the SD card) it just sends me back to Clockwork Recovery.
I also tried recovering the Nook through ADB (using the steps found here http://mrm3.net/2011/01/24/113/). I install everything, but I cannot locate the ADB device in the device manager. I've even used the .bat file to auto installs ADB, but it is still not found in the device manager.
I've read that it is nearly impossible to brick a Nook, but I'm not sure what else to try. I'm a Android noob, so please bear with me. TIA!
Fairly certain I read about a bug with formatting the SD card on the NC, that it would format the internal memory instead. I would imagine you will need to flash a new image to the internal memory (should be stock image floating around here somewhere).
No worries, you are most likely NOT bricked. There are hundreds of posts about people thinking they bricked their device.
First thing is first, IF YOU READ THE POST IT SPECIFICALLY STATES DO NOT FORMAT THE SDCARD USING THE NOOK AS IT WIPES THE /BOOT
My suggestion to you is do some research on XDA there are PLENTY of posts about "unbricking" your device.
I have only seen 1 nook be bricked, and it was hardly bricked because it could be booted from an SDCard.
Try following the instructions here to return back to the stock OS:

Yeah, I realize that was a big no no. I am unable to perform any of the steps in the link you provided because my nook doesn't even reach the 'Welcome to the future of reading' screen. Also, I can't try method 2 because ADP is not working properly.
I should mention that I also tried samuelhalff's first method to no avail. Any other ideas?
So you CAN boot from an SDCard correct? Only way to boot again is to flash the boot file...

Yes, I can boot (to Clockwork Recovery) if the SD card is inserted and the power cord is inserted and I hold the power button for 10 seconds. If I install a rom from the SD card, doesn't it flash the boot file? If not, how do I flash the boot file?
I know you said you tried Sams method, I would re-read how to flash his boot repartition file found on his froyo on emmc thread

Here's the link to the boot file. I did the same thing not long ago (formatted SD from within CM7) and I fixed it by flashing this file to repartition the boot.
It's the last link in the OP of this thread (repartition-boot-with-stock.zip):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
If that doesn't work, he has a couple of restore to stock methods in that thread as well.

YES! This did it! I missed this link somehow. Many thanks to all that helped.
Ok, now I'm stuck on the screen that says "Contains Reader Mobile technology by Adobe Systems Incorporated". Did this happen to you C Dippa? I'm going to try a reset and see if that helps.

Nope...it just booted up, may have taken a little longer.
Any luck with it?
Yeah, I had to do the 8 failed boot attempts to bypass that screen, then re-root. Now, I'm all set! Phiremod is installed again.
Glad to have helped! Happy nooting!

Question on verygreen's [ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer

I'm a noob with not enough privilages to post over in the developer's forum, so posting here.
I've successfully imaged and booted to CM7 using verygreen's project:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Next step was to try adding/installing gapps and using recover. I've tried a few different times doing a few different things, but all end up rebooting (with SD in the NC) to the original boot of the NC, as if out of the box. I get the hand going over to the android and having to "Set Language" and wifi.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong and it looks like others got it to work.
Any help?
Have you actually booted into CM7? The nook boots first to the SD card, so if you can't boot now into CM7 that means that something has changed on the SD card. In other words, on boot the nook looks for something useful (like a bootable OS) on the card and if it can't find it boots to internal (original B&N OS).
So, do a normal power up and see if you boot into CM7 on the sd card. If so, see below about booting in recovery (once you've added the google files). If not, something's amiss with the image on the card.
YOu may be having a problem booting into recovery -- this is pretty common. It can be tricky timing the release of the buttons. Follow the directions on verygreen's post carefully. Push the N button first, then power, count off about 6 seconds and make sure that you see the message before releasing. Took me a few tries to get the recovery screen instead of booting normally.
I can tell you that I've done this a few times and it does indeed work. The only tricky part is timing to button thing when booting into recovery.
Yep, I did boot into CM7... The wallpaper changed and there were new icons, of which I can't remember at the moment.
I know what you are saying about entering recovery mode... I think I got that set. I can see when entering recovery mode, as the penquin icon is shown and then all the messages come up, including expanding the zip files.
My problem is getting the gapps included. I've tried just copying over the gapps zip file and do recovery with that. I've tried copying both the CM7 nightly and the gapps zips and do recovery. I also noticed the instructions:
•Get u-boot.zip file from attachment in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=153
•Unpack the u-boot.bin file and put it onto parttion 1 of the SD card instead of the one there.
•Rename file named uRecImage on the first partition to uRecImg (doh!)
•Get this uRamdisk file, rename it to uRecRam and then put the result to the 1st partition on the uSD card instead of the file with the same name there
I've also done that... still boots to as if it is a brand new, out of the box Nook. I take it that means the SD is messed up. So I'm doing something wrong in how to get the gapps on.
Sounds like the easiest way for you is to start over.
Re-image your card with verygreen's 1.1 from the beginning of his post.
Then download the version of CM7 you want (verygreen's or rc4 or whatever)
add this .zip to the sd card, download gapps and also add this to the sd card.
Insert into nook and boot.
You have to put these zips on the sd card BEFORE you boot into CM7 the first time. This is why you have to re-image.
This is what I did and everything worked great. Skip the gapps login until you have wifi setup of course and everything should be fine.
Yup, sounds like danbutter has it right. I know how frustrating this is, but it really is worth it.
You may have problems prepping your SD card to re-image because of partitioning. One way to start with a really clean slate is to download Paragon Partition Manager (the free addition) and totally wipe all the existing partitions. Windows disk manager won't do it.

I don't know exactly what it is with this, but I have never had this issue and I have re flashed a couple sd cards many many times playing with this and all I have ever done was select the new image and write it to the card.
Is this something to do with certain card readers or what?
I'm using a five year old HP laptop and its built in card reader.
Just curious

raspbmc error

Hi people, i just got my rPI model B. It came with noobs pre installed on sd card 8 gb class 4 and i decided to install Raspbmc. At the end of the installing it said was all ok but when i boot it appears Jounarl commit i/o error and doenst boot to xmbc. How i fix that?
thanks
Try to flash one of the images "without a fancy installer" and use win32 disk imager to flash the image. (on mac/Linux use dd if=/path/to/Img.img of=/dev/sdX)

ok I will try. I have to read first how to flash because I am a noob thats why i used NOOBS xD

While the Pi is booting hold shift on your keyboard to go into recovery. Raspbmc should be selected by default. Click the edit config and if possible please paste what you have there. I can give you a hand. I just built my Raspbmc machine this last weekend.

Easy as pi,
Go to the downloads section of raspbmc and get a bare image (under the label "without a fancy installer")
While you're downloading the image search for 'win32 disk imager" (it's on sourceforge), and download it.
Insert your sdcard into your computer.
Start win32diskimager, select your sdcard letter (g: or so), select your freshly downloaded .img (It might be zipped) and press 'write'
When the progress is complete, safely eject the sdcard and put it back in you pi.
Now:
The Pi tends to corrupt sdcards when they are overclocked (which xbmc distros do), so it might be a wise decision to install raspbmc on a flashdrive and use that to boot (and locking the sdcard). Google is your friend for that!

I followed the instruction on rasbmc website ( same that u said), but first I formated the sd card with with SDformatter. The setup ran well, it did all the remaining downloads and installations. A final message appeared saying the setup will continue after reboot but when it rebooted the screen goes of. Nothing appears. I read about it on internet and some people say that is sd card problem or its not?
edit: i formated other sd card i have just 4gb but class 6 doing the same process but now it doesnt boot at all, doesnt enter the setup
2nd edit: I installed noobs lite on the 8gb class 4 sd card and it doesnt boot. what is happening? Did i screwed my PI??
ITS WORKING! i waited 1 day and it booted again. I used noobs lite and perform a raspbmc install and its running all fine. Thanks

If you have trouble with it booting again a simple fix is to boot noobs, select edit config and at the bottom enter:
boot_delay=1
Fixes it every time. Keep in mind that if you make any config changes you will need to re-add boot_delay=1

SD Card Not Detected?!?! HELP!

Hey,
So I was running Exodus Android 6.0 5/12 nightly, everything was fine until I decided to flash XOSP unofficial by Vatsal.
I made a nandroid backup in TWRP (2.8.7.0) and flashed it. Didnt really like it so restored the backup and it said it failed.
So I thought it was no big deal and decided to clean flash exodus. It took a really long time to factory reset and when I booted, my external SD was not recognized. Flashed different roms, nothing. But when I reboot and then go into twrp,the sd card is recognized and I can access the files on my laptop; however, once I try to copy and paste them on a different folder it fails.
So I tried formatting it; didnt work. It still shows nothing.
Any suggestions? Thanks
I had a similar problem, in my case the sd card was broken. I was able to see files on it with a card reader but I can´t copy,paste or delete something.
I have a similar problem :s
I guess I gotta buy a new one then...sad..
I have a similar problem. Its all because of android marshmallow.

. Have you tried removing the SD card from your phone and accessing, copying you files using a SD card reader?
