How to un-break my CM7 build - nook N button dead - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running CM7 7.02 from emmc with Dalingrin's 4/24/11 OC kernel, and was very happy with it. However, I got distracted by shiney... Rom manager gave me a pop up saying 7.03 was available, which it hadn't done in the past, so I figured, why not give it a shot?
I ran a full backup, installed the update, booted... and all my apps were gone. It was a fresh install instead of an install over my existing 7.02 like I would have gotten if I just booted from my CWM boot SD card and flashed. Well, crappy, but I have my backup, right? Still, might as well try the OC kernel and see how it runs real quick... oh, won't boot after the OC kernel. huh.
So I boot to recovery, and clear cache, and restore my backup.
Everything looks perfect. Back to my customized layouts... wait, where is my Honeycomb style bottom status bar? I'm back to the default look/feel. Ok, I can fix that... wait, why isn't my N button working? I've gone into ADW settings, selected several options for the "home button" functionality, rebooted, nothing works. I've got everything except a working N button. Why?
The only time it has worked is ONCE right after I installed a second home launcher, flashed 7.02 over 7.02, rebooted, and hit the button. It popped up and asked me which of the two launchers I wanted as default. After that, it hasn't responded.
Anyone have any idea what I did or what I can do to fix this? I'm fine if I have to format and start from scratch, I just would rather not since I'm stuck in an airport and waiting on a flight home, so I'd rather be reading/watching movies/playing music instead of tinkering... if it's something simple to fix, ya know?

That post just made me mental!

I'm glad I could provide some amusement?
I ended up wiping data and system, installing 7.02, gapps, and 4/24/11, clearing cache and dalvik, then booting up and then refreshed my apps and data from Titanium. Everything worked great for a while and then the N button stopped again. No idea what happened. I've been working 16+ hour days for 7 days straight and can't think straight. On the up side, I was able to finish watching my movie on the flight home after my flight was delayed for 4 hours.
I need sleep. I also need to figure out why my button keeps dying. Works perfectly in CWM and to wake the device up, just not for it's intended purpose.

Had a similar problem with the N button not working with the 04/24 kernel. However it got working after a reboot...
One thing you could try is to use the 04/04 kernel instead. Might be a OC related issue.

[Q] MT4G Not Responding to ANYTHING

Sorry if this is a useless question but I have to ask. So my phone was working fine but then I installed the Faux 2.1.5 lv on my CM RC2. I followed all the steps before installing delete dalvik cache and cache and even restarting. Well it worked for a little while then it suddenly turned off. Now it wont respond to me pressing the power button. It also doesnt show the led lighting up while charging the phone. If theres a fix or suggestion please respond.

Did you pull the battery then press the power button..
Yes I did. Do you think its bricked
Edit: I tried removing the battery right now again and for some reason it turned on. Any info and what i should do for it wont happen again. Thanks
Edit 2: WOW now my freakin wifi keeps saying error no matter what I do man am i getting frustrated
Try his stock voltage gingerbread kernel instead of the low voltage one
how about you just leave the Zinx Kernal?
i keep stock CM kernals and never have issues with them.
just enjoy CM7 how it comes out of the box.. haha or out of the .zip lol
Well I tried both of those kernals sv and the stock kernal of cm7 rc2 and TS still showed error after turning on wifi and Bluetooth doesn't even do anything when I try to turn it on. So I restored my nandroid backup of stock mytouch rom and it still has the same issues
make sure you start fresh.
WIPE EVERYTHING.
format wipe /system /data
i forgot what else is in there but wipe everything
and start from a fresh install.
Well I wiped everything including format boot and format system. Still same issues

Nothing works as it should...

I can't begin to describe how frustrated this phone has made me. I am not an Android "n00b" by any stretch. I have had 4 different Android phones, have flashed at LEAST 100 different roms, made complete rom themes, and even glued together one of the first complete Gingerbread roms to flash from recovery for the Motorola Droid (not from source, but first posted rom with working camera, Gapps, and all from standard recovery - not nandroid). With that being said, this phone is next to impossible for me to use. I've lost track of all of the problems I have had with this thing. Everything from CWM not being able to restore any backups, horrible battery life, boot loops galore, the phone freezing anytime it is plugged into the computer or wall (not the car charger, oddly enough), boot loops, tried the Yellow Clockwork (and everything failed that could on that), flashing roms that would work great until you reboot the first time, and so on and so forth. WHEN the phone works, it's great. However, that is starting to become quite rare. Most recently I have been stuck on trying to get either Evil Fascinate to work or MIUIWiz with no luck for either. EF works great...until I restore my apps. Once I reboot, it's all over. EVERYTHING force closes and it becomes completely unusable. Doesn't matter what kernel I use, it always happens. And this is now happening with both 3.5.1 and 3.6.0. Plus I could just watch the battery life plummet as I was using it. I even tried the EC01 radio with it, as it was suggested that might be better. So, I decided to try MIUIWiz. Followed the directions perfectly. Wiped everything, flashed a JT Kernel from 4/15, flashed rom, and...guess what? Boot loops. I am on ClockworkMod 3.0.2.7. I am familiar with how to wipe data/cache/dalvik. There were no voltage settings to wipe. I did check to see if Voodoo was enabled before booting. I just don't know what else to do. This isn't exactly rocket science and I really feel it can't just be user error at this stage with all of the different issues I have ran across. I'm pretty much at the stage that I am gonna return it to stock and sell it, but would really like to enjoy it for a little while longer... Thoughts?
Just for laughs, I downloaded Community Rom 1.3. Was on EF 3.6 (with nothing restored, just signed into Google). Rebooted to Recovery, wiped everything, installed Comm Rom and never got past the Samsung screen. *sigh* Seems odds since they are based on the same base, but yea, that's how it's been going for me.
I think since you are so god awfully experienced that you are looking over something that probably seems useless to you, ive NEVER experienced any of your problems and I can tell you its not the phone.. I would read up about your specific problems or ask a specific question and you might get the help you need.
Edit:Bootloops are user error nearly every time. Unless you have a corrupt download or something.

As much as your sarcasm warrants a rude response, I'll choose not to stoop to that level. The point of the post was that there is not a "specific" problem. Hence the title, "Nothing works as it should..." Not every phone is the same, and just because you have experienced any of these problems does not determine whether my issues are phone related or not. Battery life issues are very common place, which is evident in many threads. The phone lagging when plugged in is most CERTAINLY a phone issue and has nothing to do with rom flashing. It appears this is a firmware issue and is not likely to be fixed at all. Also, I pointed out the steps used to flash the rom, which are posted in the thread, and still have problems with boot loops. So, I guess every rom I download is corrupted? Even though on different networks and computers? That's some luck I have...
Are you referring to "download" mode when you said yellow cwm? If so then maybe reinstall the samsung drivers and give it a clean flash including the pit with voodoo disabled. If you have bad problems like you are having that fixes anything I encounter.
Edit: if you use odin, try heimdall

The newest imnuts kernel installs a yellow CWM, and nothing worked right at all on that. Every verification failed. SO I ODINed back to stock and retried everything anew. Anytime I restore my apps with Titanium, the next reboot fails. I even just went back to stock again, flashed CWM Red 3.0.2.8ti and the stock kernel with recovery fix, restored apps again and rebooted and it did the same thing. I didn't have any issues with Titanium restoring stuff before, having successfully used it on EF 3.5.1 and ComRom 1.3 but not those don't work for me either anymore. I've tried restoring just the apps with no data and that doesn't seem to make a difference either.
EDIT - It must have something to do with Titanium. Gonna try an older version and see if that works. It looks like they updated it recently and maybe it is just not playing nice with anything for my phone.
When you restore try not restoring system data, that is check the box for user applications only. That might be the issue.
yea, I'm going to say Ti backup is the problem because you mention ti every time you have a problem. personally I don't use ti cause its never played nice for me, but did you try manually reinstalling a couple of apps reboot and see if the same problem happened? that would really narrow it down almost completely to ti.
Fascinate 2.2 1.2GHz(uv)
download the imnuts peanut butta jellytime kernel of choice and put it on your sdcard. Odin back to the stock rom of your choice (i recommended eb01 as other odin packages cause bad music quality.), and let the phone boot up.
Next, pull the battery and go back into download mode. Odin one of times_infinity's cwm packages. Then replace the battery and boot straight into CWM. Wipe data, cache, and dalbik and then flash community rom 1.3. IMMEDIATELY AFTER (meaning in the same cwm as when you flashed comm rom 1.3) flash the imnuts kernel that you put on your sdcard. Phone should boot up fine and be fully functional. As mentioned earlier by someone, dont restore system data with titanium backup.
It's not just the system data that is causing issues, as I have tried it both ways, and of course, only restoring system data that is labeled green when attempting to do so. And, it did work previously on EF 3.5.1 but no longer does. I'll give it another shot using thefunkbot's directions. Still confused as to why EF is the only rom that boots normally.
Alright, so that did get Com Rom running. I had actually tried that method before, but it took so long on the Samsung screen that I was sure that it was froze. I just let it go this time, and after about 5 minutes it finally started. None on the other roms I tried took that long, but whatever works...
that's probably due to voodoo, which takes about that time to install/initiate.
Yea, you can hear the creepy robot lady telling you what's going on, but it took a couple of minutes after that even. Also, I skipped Titanium and restored the apps manually. Some were from my SD card and some from the Market, and only about half of them worked after rebooting. Meh
Flash com rom, then flash the otb kernel. Comrom will boot and you will enjoy your phone.
I got Com Rom to boot, but alot of the apps won't reinstall without force closing after rebooting. Not being able to use Titanium is a major PITA to me. But it's not just Com Rom, it's EF, and even the stock rom. Just never had an issue with it before now. But even installing apps through the Market or from the SD card also created issues, so I dunno what is going on.
If you're getting a **** ton of FCs, try fixing permissions via Terminal Emulator. Run 'fxpms' and it *should* solve some FC issues. Also, the phone generally takes much longer than a couple minutes to boot up after doing a full wipe, because the dalvik cache has to be rebuilt. Guarantee that if you had just left the phone alone the first time it was stuck on the Samsung screen, it would've booted just fine.
There are many guides that should help if you run into problems. First odin back to stock update to get new modem (doesn't have to be the newest but might a well), use the pit as well. Second odin cwm. Then flash kern and rom with a voodoo conversion if desired.
At first don't restore any backups. Don't use any themes. Or make any other changes until you see how out runs. Also don't play with the under volting until you've used it a while.
After running it awhile "stock" a it were then start making your changes one by one. This way at least you will know what its causing the trouble.
That happened to me as well when flashed com rom. I took 3 batt pulls before I just let it go to find it was working all along just took its sweet time on first boot. Was not voodoo here. I also agree with your charger problem, but for me its reversed, only happens on the car charger. And I hate to say it but no froyo rom, stock or otherwise, plays nice with my fascinate. I get all kinds of weird bugs. And battery life got worse. Since I have come to the realization that no fascinate aosp or cm rom will ever have bluetooth headset support, I finally threw in the towel and spent an hour on the phone with verizon to get an upgrade. Sad but after all this time it was time to give up.

Wiping Davlik causes unusually long boot times on Froyo ROMs on the Fascinate. If you just wait it out (if it's more than 15 minutes, though, something's wrong) you should be golden. By the way, PBJ 5/23 is literally a non-starter, so I would suggest nemesis2all's OTB kernel until imnuts updates.
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
Thanks for all the help and advice everyone. After trying five different roms, I finally found one that works for me. Blackhole. I set it up just like the others, the difference being that Titanium and everything else works. Still have to test battery life, but just having all my apps and no force closes or boot loops is enough for now...

Blackhole 4.4? Or an earlier version? I miss SonOfSkywalker's work since he added the Thunderbolt to his arsenal (he also devs for the Vibrant)
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
4.4. Haven't had any issues with it so far. Battery life is probably not the best so far it seems, however I don't even care at this stage as long as everything works. I also have not run it down and reset the battery or played with many settings yet so not ready to say it is the rom or anything of the sort. Everyone has their deal breakers with their phone, and not having Titanium work is one of my biggest things. I love that app. I didn't donate for it to not use it, you know? I'm a themer, and I have a lot of themed apps saved with it that makes the Market pretty much useless to reinstall stuff for me. Plus it is an easy way to uninstall system apps without screwing anything else up.

Endless Rebooting

I have had this problem for a while now. Whenever I shut down or reboot my nook it will reboot on its own over and over for quite some time.
It seems random, sometimes rebooting only a few times, but most of the time it reboots many, many times.
It'll get to the main screen, start loading stuff, then reboot.
I just recently figured out that if I turn the screen on and off rapidly for a few seconds it will interrupt whatever is causing it to reboot. But this does not always work.
I'm using cyanogen, and I think it started while using a nightly. I then tried a couple newer nightlies, then the stable 7.0, then newer nightlies, then the stable 7.1, and now the most current nightly.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? It's driving me nuts.
Could someone point me to a good tutorial on installing cyanogen, with how to format correctly and such? I would not mind starting from scratch with this, formatting it and everything.
Thanks so much.
Ok, first off are you running from an SD card? If so what is the brand and class?
Sent from space
No, its installed on internal memory. I do have an SD card that I use for storage, and its a Sandisk 16GB.
Well, I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160424 and paid special attention to the partitioning section at the beginning because I have a blue dot version. I then installed the most current nightly of cyanogen and google apps. I also formatted /data a couple times and formatted /cache.
I did not get the rebooting problem.
Was it something to do with the partitioning?
And now its doing the reboot thing again. Just got most of my apps reinstalled and decided to reboot to see if it does it. And it does.
Any ideas?
Didn't know the root cause yet but first thought, could you redo the fresh installation, flash gapps but do not install any app. Try to reboot a few times to see if problem persisted. If not, thinking about what kind of app you installed.
That's what I figured I'd have to do. But first, I want to try to completely remove flash. I remember reading about flash causing rebooting somehow.
Anyone know how to get rid of all traces of flash? And adobe related stuff for that matter.
First off are you using beautiful Widgets? That causes a lot of problems. If that isn't it try installing your apps one by one and see what app it causing the problem.
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
Not using beautiful widgets, but am using a few standalone ones. Bobclock d3, temp+cpu v2, text battery widget, and that power control one.
I uninstalled all downloaded apps, a couple to a few at a time. I got all the way down to just the basic google ones, nook tweaks, and a couple other ones I can't remember off hand.
At one point the endless reboot problem stopped.
So now I have started reinstalling apps one at a time, rebooting after each install. So far I have gmail, maps, market, nook tweaks, and youtube installed.
I will keep going through my list of apps, one at a time. It's a very time consuming ordeal, but gotta do it I guess.
I'm pretty sure it was nook tweaks. I reinstalled it and checked all the settings, and the rebooting stopped.
Not sure exactly what was wrong with it to be honest.
Anyone have any similar problems with nook tweaks?
Nook Tweaks may be causing my problem...

Apparently YES!
I have been having the same problem, random reboots. Not full boots, just a soft restart. And I dreaded having to actually do a full shutdown or reboot, because it would lead to a bunch of soft restarts. Drove me nuts.
This occurred on my original NC (old partitions, CM7 nightlies, stable and Mirage), and on my replacement one for a bad speaker (refurb has new partitions, Mirage with V6 and PDroid added).
So after reading this, I uninstalled Nook Tweaks and have been thrashing it for the last two days. Hallelujah! No reboots!
I no longer fear doing a shutdown and restart! Stability at last!
After a while, I'll probably reinstall Nook Tweaks to see what happens.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for your post. Somehow, it never crossed my mind to think that Nook Tweaks might be the culprit.

[Q] Is My Atrix Fixable?

My apologies, as I wasn't sure where to post this.
For a long time now I've been running CM7 both the nightlies and the weeklys with no issues. Yesterday I decided I would try Neutrino ROM and installed GT 2.5. After that I noticed I had no data connection so I attempted to patch the ROM using Notorious's recommendations to no avail so I installed 2.2 and the Google addons, Sync, etc..
All was working great, however everyone said 2.5 was better in the forums so I installed it again today and attempted to patch as explained and this time was successful. I had data connection again and all was well. About an hour later I went to use my phone and it was completely black.
I attempted to power it up and nothing happened. I finally had to pull the battery and was able to get it to boot up properly, however my data connection was gone again. I ran the sysctl -p command in terminal again and rebooted it to no avail. I finally decided to go back to 2.2 which worked properly last night, however after installing from the zip and the addon zips it went to the 'Dual Core' screen and then rebooted back to the 'Dual Core' screen and keeps doing that.
I attempted to go into Recovery Mode, however when it says 'Entering Recovery Mode' it just goes black and I can't power it back on. I then have to reseat the battery before I can get it to work.
I guess at this point, is there anything I can do to get my phone back? I've seen the hard brick messages and I don't have that (yet), but I am not sure, because I apparently can't get that far. Thanks for any help you can provide.
-Dave
Sounds like a hardware problem to me. I recommend taking it to a service center ( for me ATT has one I use.) and sometimes they can boot it up. Or they can maybe give you ideas.
Just to confirm you can't boot anything right??

Thanks for the response. I was unable to boot into Android Recovery, however I hadn't tried the others. After numerous searches I found information on how to use moto-fastboot to install RomRacer's Recovery image and after doing that I was able to get into Recovery (phew!). I did a complete wipe on the phone (Dalvik, system, etc) and installed Neutrino 2.2 with Lite gapps, United States (GPS), Sync, and Gtalk (for video) and shockingly it finally booted into the rom. I think at this point I'll leave it alone after restoring my apps via Titanium Backup.
My phone is now working again. Hopefully I can keep it that way.

[Q] Team EOS Help needed with latest nightlies

Hi Guys,
I am not sure if I am posting in the right place, but I could use some assistance on the Team EOS nightlies. They won't let me post in the DEV section yet, becuase I am mostly reader, not a poster. Anyway....
I've been running the EOS roms for a while, but I can't seem to run any nightly past 74. 74 runs great, when I tried to update to 75 (rom/gapps/wipe cache) it won't get past the "DUAL CORE" logo. I thought I bricked my xoom, but I am able to boot to recovery, reflash 74 (gapps/wipe) and it boot with no issue. I did a full wipe, and tried again with 76 but no joy (77 wasn't out at the time). I thought it was a problem with n75 and n76. I flashed back to n14 and it works fine, and I can upgrade back to n74. Tonight I tried to update again to n77, but still no dice. I let it sit for 15 minutes at the "Dual Core" logo, and all I noticed is that is got warm, but still no boot.
Any thoughts? All advise is welcome!
BTW, this is for a Stingray 4g xoom
And while I have your attention, I love the work you guys do, and this community, it really makes Android something special!
Weird. Try going into fastboot and do a full wipe of userdata, cache, and system. Then install. If need be, do a backup. This will totally wipe your device.
Wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM, flash GAPPS, fix permissions. Do it in that order and you should be fine.
Also make sure your using the latest GAPPS. It should be dated 2012-03-17.
Good Luck.
Still not working right, very frustrated, but I have new information

Thanks to both of you. I did try this. What I have discovered so far is that some of the flashing fun I have been doing with my may have caused so minor issues with my external SD Card. I backed up the internal to it, and pulled it. I went through the process of nuking the xoom entirely. I.E. Wiped Cache, dalvik, full wipe, factory reset, reset permission, and deleted everything off the internal SD (wasn't in this order, but it all got done) I was able to flash N77, without GAPPS fine. It seemed to run faster with nothing else installed. Rebooted a few times, no problem. I was stoked. I flashed gapps, 03-17 version (the latest). factory reset again so that it was fresh and wiped the cache (just in case). It booted again no problems, ran me through initial config, and then began downloading my apps back. It seemed to run much faster than it ever did before.
Then I rebooted it, without doing any titanium backup restores, just fresh tablet, N77 with my 90 or so apps freshly installed from the market, and it froze again at the "Dual Core" boot screen. I waited hoping for some delayed joy, but none came.
So I went back through the process once again, factory reset, N77 install, wipe cache, install GAPPs. Booted.....initial config, auto downloaded 90 apps from market, reboot......dead.
So then I just flashed N74 again, wiped cache, install GAPPS, initial config, app download.....reboot.......works fine.
<general frustration directed at tablet, not anyone here/>
What gives???? I can't tell what the difference in internal apps in the ROM are that could be conflicting with the ones installed from the market.
Why the hell is N74 working and N77 not, when the apps in both ROMs look the same?
Why does N77 work great when the apps aren't restored?????
Why don't I make a million dollars?????
Why aren't I emperor of the universe???????????????
</general frustration directed at tablet, not anyone here>
Thanks much for all your help!
alright.... i have 2 suggestions these may not work and the second one is a pain in the butt to do but it got me out of a jam way back when i lost my softkeys no matter what i flashed
firstly.. in the sequence of your flashing throw in the 'format /system' see if that has any effect it is 'possible' the system is not being flashed correctly or it could be possible that it is getting corrupted and causing the bootloops (i always format system when full wiping)
second... and this is a pain.. but you can always try flashing back to STOCK... there could be other factors that aren't being flashed or fixed correctly causing ya problems... you can then go through the process and flash directly to the latest build... as i noted earlier this fixed a problem that nothing else could for me and has helped others but really this is a last last resort as it takes alot of time and screwing around
lastly... i have no idea sorry these are all i can input.. if possible can always try and use logcat while booting to see what is causing the crash if im not mistaken and upload a log and one of the devs may be able to have a look at it...
I Would stop dinking around with n77 and go to n90 I had the same issues around those nightly numbers, so I went all the way back to stock... (honeycomb) didn't fix it but I redid the whole install on a higher number and it seems to work itself out..... long story short try another maybe the 1.0 stable by them.

Thanks much for this. I had already attempted the formatting of everything except the SD card before.....but for sh*ts and giggles I tried it one more time. unfortunately that didn't work.
Using the second option, of reverting stock, I went through sleeplessnija's tutorial on reverting. It really didn't seem that bad, taking me longer to setup my work machine than it did to send the fastboot commands. I was able to get it to boot stock (of course I didn't re-lock it) just fine, and it was quick....so it seems like my hardware is fine.
I used fastboot to put the replacement tiamat recovery, and formatted everything in the mounts menu again. I also mounted my SD card as USB storage and used the full format for it under windows. Then i copied N77 and GAPPS back to it, and re-installed them. It got to the second boot logo (first was the shaking team eos, the second is the square thing with rounded corners that moves). It hung for about 10 minutes, and I shut it off. annoyed.
So I went back into recovery, mounted my SD for USB access from my desktop, and copied the unofficial (which I think is now official) CM9 distro from Team Rogue (Steady's Rom I believe?). I formatted everything, and wiped everything (except the SD) again, and installed CM9 and gapps. Booted fine. Configured account, downloaded 90 apps, rebooted, no problems. Played with it for a while, rebooted....no problems.
I like that my xoom is back up and running......however it seemed that Steadies rom is just a little less fully featured than Team EOS. THAT IS NOT A KNOCK AGAINST TEAM ROGUE OR CM9.....my Xoom is working again (so far) thanks to him (them), and I run CM9 on my AT&T GSII. I just really like Team EOS on my Xoom, and have been with them since the beginning. I would love to know why my xoom suddenly hates the latest nightlies (everything since 74).
Edit: I forgot to ask, Joshndroid.....you mentioned running logcat to see what going on. If it can't boot past the dual core logo or the second boot logo from Team EOS....how do I get the logs? I am not familiar with android's logging.....even though I am a flash-a-holic. I am just thinking that if this is happening to me, maybe I can help out the devs (and myself, and maybe someone else) with the log output.
Edit 2: And Josh.....I forgot to tell you .....good call on the revert to stock answer. I didn't think about that before and thought I was screwed!
Thanks!!
