hey guys im having a big and really annoying problem i cant fix hopin in can get some help...
i have the iced glacier 1.1.6 with clockwork 3.0.0.5(rom managerv3.0.1.0). i want to make a backup nanDroid.. so i do and it completes and everythings fine... until i to the restoring part. after it "successfully" restores(yes, i did wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and even wiped eveything in everyorder possible. i restart my phone and it freezes on the mytouch 4g bootup logo. everytime. no matter what. it does let me reinstall the fresh ice glacier rom...
note: when i wipe the dalvik, its almost instantaneous wipe, like it doesnt do it?
there is an error about e:/ not mounted (sd-ext) or something close to that. but still says it worked.
things ive tried...
renaming the file.
moved the file.
reformatted SD.
wipe data...etc twice in a row to make sure it wiped.
any ideas?
You have to revert back to older Recovery 2.5.1.2 or you can install the new 3.0.0.6 as normal CWM won't able to handle it. This same issue has been covered many times. Read the quote below to better understand if you still have problem well then post back ill help.

you are using the wrong version of Recovery to install the new kernel. I'm guessing #2, because it's very common for people to assume a higher number is better, and use CWM Recovery 3.0.0.5 with Froyo-based ROMs and hose things up really well.
Restoration options, if you are using CWM 3.0.0.5:
a) Restore from the Nandroid backup you made before overlaying your kernel. Oh, yeah, you can't, you didn't make one, otherwise you'd have already done that and wouldn't have posted....
b) Flash the appropriate CWM Recovery (2.5.1.2 for Froyo-based ROMs) using adb from your PC. Reboot into it, find the kernel you wanted to use, and reinstall it.
c) Install a Gingerbread-based ROM, such as CM7.
Pick a,b, or c. If you have any specific questions, please ask.

Go to option's thread and follow his instructions on howto install 3.0.0.6 as it works also.
a few months ago i rooted and installed clockworkmod v2.5.1.0 and installed a rom on my phone, everything went smoothly until a few days ago i wanted to try another rom, so i backup my phone on clockworkmod and do what i remember i had to do, and installed the new rom, but my phone just stayed in the turning on logo, right now i cant use my phone or restore my old rom and i keep getting E:can't open /cache/recovery/log
after pretty much any command i try. i need urgent help so i can use my phone!
I'm no expert or anything but I believe if you were using clockworkmod 2.5 you are running rfs (I believe it is) and you were trying to install a new rom which most likely is ext4 which is what caused the boot loop. So to make it eaiser to understand you tried to flash a newer rom on clockwork mod 2.5 when you needed clockwork mod 3.0+ (ext4 enabled). So now your going to have to use odin and go back to a stock of your choice ec05 I would say.
Check the wiki in android development and see what you need to go back to stock with odin, that will help

Yes, you need to Odin back to stock. There are stickies on top of the forums on how to fix a bricked epic, restore stock. My guess is you tried a ROM that required EXT4 file system. If you still wish to try these ROMs there is a sticky at top of Development for installing Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.6.
Do you BONSAI?
I'd agree. The kernel probably is what broke that down, with the ext4. Flash CWM3, make sure you have the correct modem for that ROM, and try reflashing the ROM. sometimes (SOMETIMES) that works, without having to ODIN back. I was on leaky gingerbread with ed12, which doesn't (yet) support ext4 / CWM3, i flashed the ec05 modem back in, flashed cwm3, and reflashed the SyndicateROM Frozen - without having to ODIN the stock- worked perfectly.
This may work for you-
Flash modem needed for ROM
Install CWM3
Reinstall <rom>.zip through CWM3.
there is one problem, my pc wont recognize my phone.
Ok i got it running again, thx everybody!

If you can, try using a different cable. Lot of people have had this issue using the stock one.
Self-dangerous noob here. NC 1.2, theoretically returned to stock
History:
Got NC 1.2
Rooted w/ManualNooter 4.5.25. Everything seemed to go great. So...
Downloaded, backed up, and flashed CM7 in ROM Manager
Wouldn't boot...hung on n COLOR screen
Same results w/ Phirerom (CM7 based - doh)
Able to restore MN4.5.25 from CWM - BUT noticed "Error formatting /data!" during nandroid restore. Didn't seem to matter...restore successful
Get "Error formatting /data!" no matter what
Able to boot into CM7 from SD, but it has "problems". For instance, there are no "back" or "return" softkeys. So there is no way to navigate around any app! Only the hard "n" home key works
Reflashed stock 1.2
Seemed to work, began to ask me to reregister. BUT, it won't display the keyboard, so I'm stuck at the "Login with your existing B&N...." screen! Keyboard flashes up and then immediately disappears!
As an noob, it occurs to me that all my problems are related to my inability to format the /data partition (if it's even called a partition).
Can any of you awesome people help me? And, if I'm in the wrong forum, any directions would also help. Thanks.
Same error here
If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated.
have you tried removing CWR then do the 8-boot reset?
No, every time I've done it, it boots into CWR. Maybe REMOVING it will help. lol. Sorry to be so inept. I can flash the 1.2 stock that will remove CWR. Is that the way to do it?
Worked like a charm
Removing CWR and 8-boot-interrupts did the trick. I'm now back to a fully stock NC 1.2.0. Ready to roll up my sleeves and re-brick!
This is the most amazing community. The closest thing I have to any technical knowledge is speaking a little Klingon. VERY little. But, I have learned more here by reading these threads for a couple hours...OK, several hours... than my wife has learned in a dozen trips to the apple store. I feel more empowered every day. You are all great. Can't thank you enough.
Goldie, I wasted a bunch of time on this last night. I'm guessing you have a new nook. If you do, slap cwr on your SD (3.0.2.8 or something) and look for the thread that tells you how to repartition your nook. Follow instructions to set it to the old way. After that run manualroot zip through cwr. Reboot to cwr and wipe data, system, cache. Finally install your rom of choice from your SD card through cwr. That's what I did to finally get it to work.
Thanks. I'll give this a try. As you probably guessed, I DO have a new NC, and while I was able to get it back to 100% stock, and easily reregister it, I had the same results. The ONLY way I can get CM7 running is off the SD card. So, I'll try the partitioning trick. Why do I get the feeling this is going to work? Unfortunately, I'm not on dev's time... I'm at work by 7:30am EDT, but in bed pretty early. I REALLY appreciate the response. Later this week I'll install SDK, and all my tools at home so I'll be able to stay up all night with you awesome folks.
still looking for the thread on re-partitioning. I found the thread on restoring, but I get the error every time I try to reformat the /data.
No luck. I can restore to stock 1.2, reregister, and MN 4.5.25, all easily. BUT, once I flash CM7 (or Phiremod 6.3, etc.) it hangs at the "n C O L O R" screen (C O L O R flashing at various speeds just to fool you into thinking it's actually going to work). Here's what I've noticed...after flashing CM7, the ADOBE screen no longer flashes up at boot. Once it fails to boot the Adobe software, it won't boot at all. So, for now, I guess I'm running CM off my SD unless anyone can suggest anything.
Goldie u have to repartition to get it working. Ill go look for the thread. Also maybe you should try out the cm7 mod over the phiremod Tom. I'm on phiremod now and the lag is killing me
Wow that was painful to find. Needs a sticky.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
Edit: I take that back about the lag, set your cpu to 1200 in the ROM and change yourgovernator to interactive for an amazingly smooth experience
I've been going nuts trying to figure this out. I too ran into the "error format /data" message but I powered through it only to end up at at the Android logo--nothing. Out of frustration, I returned to CWR and wiped everything--like on my Evo (did not go through to mounts option). That seemed to go through /data but I don't know the difference between a wipe and a format (I'm looking...). Still got bootloops. I tried to return to stock but the 8 interrupts wouldn't work.
Pressing START and N worked though and that got through to CM7 and it's working great now but I'm afraid to do anything else because I still get the "error formatting /data" message.
I've heard horror stories (bricking beyond repair--if that's possible) of users repartitioning their drives though so... I hope there's another solution out there.
I love this community!!
Sys:
Thanks a million!! Everything perfect!! I just can't say enough about this awesome community, all the amazing devs.
heh you're more than welcome . i hope this helps anyone else that stumbles on your thread as well. Ive been having fun with my nook but i think its time to trade it out for something a little bigger. Maybe ill just wait till att gets its flavor of gs2 idk. So many choices out there!
thanks guys!
i just had the same problem and falshes all kinds
of zips until i found this post.now i've launched cm with status bar
really really thanks
this worked great for me too! i had a nookcolor bought in december and it had a messed up chargerand 6 really bright white spots that were really noticiable. went to b&n store and the guy just gave me a new one. it came with 1.2 and i had the cwm sd from the old one. so tried restoring my cm7 backup from the old one and error formatting data came up. flashed this zip, and im wondering, since these are too different nookcolors, should i restore the cm7 backup or flash it brand new. because i had a ton of stuff on the old one and i dont want to lose it. so can i ust do advanced restore and restore data, or can i restore the whole thing or just flash and slowly get my stuff back?
update cwm
ok not sure if you fixed it or not yet, but i had the same problem for awhile too until i found a post
your probably using cwm 3.0.0.28 just updated it to 3.2.0.1

i have tried 3.2.0.1 but get same error message
3.2.0.1 on the bootable card or already on the eMMC? It has to be on the bootable card.
Thanks
It works after getting my nook color around 2pm today and taking it home. I was working on this thing all day I tried several ways and this one worked!!! Having issues with wifi that's all
So I was trying to go from comrom to OMFGB nightlies, and didn't know you have to go to OMBG first. When I tried to do that. I odined the ED05 modem, then flashed OMFGB, then the GAPPS. It wouldn't work, and then I read I had to flash a new kernel, so I flashed the Glitch high leakage. Then it started to work, but after it went to the boot screen, it went to a new CMW, blue, and tried to install GAPPS? I think that's what it was doing, but it went really quickly, and said something like it couldn't mount the sd card, which is weird. So I took out the sd card, and it said waiting for mount, or something similar. I put it back in, but it wouldn't work. So then, I flashed back to UKB with the pb&j kernel, to see if I could get things going from there. It booted fine, but when I tried to just flash OMFGB, it would go to the boot screen, and then go back to CWM. So I tried to go back to UKB, and then it did the same thing, didn't change the boot screen at all (so now it's stuck with Galaxy S Cyanogen mod boot screen). I tried to flash OMBG then, but it was still going back to CWM. I'm thinking about odining the eclair package, and then trying from there. What do you think. Oh and usually I go to android central, but they don't have OMFGB nightlies there, so here I am.
TL;DR: I flashed a bunch of GB stuff in what I assume to be in the wrong order, now I'm stuff. Help me?
EDIT:After flashing a bunch of stuff, I don't remeber what or what order, just that the Glitch was last, I managed to get it to boot, first with a glitch boot screen, then the android boot screen. I'm not sure what I'm on, I think it is OMGB, at least that is what the widget says when I booted it up. I'm really confused. Anyways, I think I got it.
EDIT2:Nope, stuck at the boot to CWM loop. I'm going to try to go back to UKB (froyo) through that sticky in dev
EDIT3:Well I'm waiting for it to download, so what I did that worked was flash OFGB in red CWM, weird, but it worked. I'm leaving it at that for now, cause nobody is replying.
While I'm glad you got things to work, you should probably start from scratch if things start to get weird again. I highly recommend this thread as the proper way to go from CM7/MIUI/OMFGB back to stock, and from there back to whatever you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391
Remember that when you flash stock DL09 or EB01 or ED05, you also have to have the atlas 2.2 pit file and "repartition" checked in ODIN.
Finally, while you still have things working, I recommend you do a nandroid backup. If you need to go all the way back to stock before coming back to gingerbread, you can do an Advanced Restore > Data Restore in order to get your apps and such back pretty painlessly.
Yeah thanks, that's the sticky I was talking about. I didn't know about the re-partition button having to be checked, thanks for that And the Data restore is through CWM? I assume so. And for that, I just need a regular nandroid backup?
Yes, in CWM you can choose backup and restore, and then do a system backup.
When you want to go back to a given setup (i.e. your apps, widgets, etc.) you can do an advanced restore where you choose to restore just data, and not the whole nandroid system backup.
That's pretty cool, I never new about that. So I tried the *228 1 and 2 thing, cause I couldn't download the beta swype, and I thought it I needed too, but it said my phone couldn't be activated, and to try again, then the I lost all signal. I rebooted, and it came back, but I couldn't activate it again. It's being weird still, and in the morning, I'm starting over like you suggested. I'm still receiving calls though, and I get good connection. For the morning, I was wondering if I could just check to see if I have everything I need. I have:
CI500_VZW_ED05_FROYO_REL.tar.md5 from the thread you posted for odin
OMGB 1.2.0
OMFGB nightly build 7/21
Glitch High leakage v11.1
The CWM for all roms (red)
lithid gapps (unless you think the other gapps is good)
and I think that is it. I don't have the atlas 2.2 pit file, can I just search here for that? Thanks for all the help
EDIT:Found the atlas 2.2, and I use that at the same time as the md5 file, right?
EDIT2:Okay, I tried to do a nandroid backup, but with the CWM recovery 4.0.1.0 (I think that's what it is), it didn't show anything, like it said backing up system, then it didn't show what part it was backing up, and the status bar stayed blank, then it moved on to data after a while, and that. It said it failed to back up sd-ext, which I'm guessing is why it wasn't working properly. I'm doing the odin restore to froyo, and if someone could tell me the correct order to install/flash/odin stuff to get to the OMFGB nightlies, that would be amazing!
EDIT3:I think I did it right. Odined to froyo, Odined the ED05 modem, Odined the CWM for CM7, flashed CM7, Rebooted, Flashed Glitch Kernel, then Flashed OMFGB nightly build 7/23. I still need to do gapps though.
EDIT4:I did gapps, and almost everything looks good. I can't activate my phone through *228 1, and when I try to set up my google account, it says it couldn't establish a reliable connection to the servers. And After I call to activate my phone, my service goes dead. I can still text and receive calls though
EDIT5:man, a lot of editing. I flashed OMGB 1.2.0 on top, and now I can set up my google account. Still not activating though :/
Unrelated question, how come sometimes my wifi and signal bars are grey, sometimes blue (I'm using cyanbread)? I think when they are grey, I'm not using signal? How do I make them blue?
So I finally got arround to getting my Nook up-to-date from 7.1 to the 7.2 encore CM7 rom. Thought that Rom Manager would take care of everything for me, and it looked like it was well on its way.
So it finally downloads and I'm all excited to install it, maybe it'll help the random hanging errors when I'm on wifi. (dummy me) Selected just to wipe dlavick (sp?) cache and not backup current rom, and durring the install, it reports a critical error and fails out. Okay, fine, sounds good, i'll just hop online and figure out how to manually install it. I reboot, and it just hangs. Wierd, but I reboot again. And again. And I finally come to the conclusion that it must have screwed over my old rom as well.
If anyone can give me an idea of how to proceede, do i reflash a new rom? And how do I go about it without damaging the current files that I have installed, I've got a few hundred ebooks and comics that i'd hate to lose.

Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per my item A10. If your books and comics are on SD do not use that SD for CWM, use a different one. Then you can flash the new CM7.2 ROM with that. It should boot fine for you. If it still balks on you, go back to CWM and do a wipe data/factory reset. That will wipe out the installed apps and settings, but will not effect the books and comics you have on your media partitions (emmc and sdcard). But you will have to reinstall all of your apps.
