I have my nook rooted and all of that and for some reason I decided to wipe the thing clean in CWM recovery and now it won't boot to anything unless I boot from SD. I've tried booting into a rom from SD and installing CWM recovery again through rom manager and it says that is has flashed successfully but when I tell it to restart it goes back to the rom on the SD of course, so I tried taking the SD out and holding down the N and booting into recovery and I get nothing no loading screen no nothing, am I not getting CWM installed? Is there a zip I can flash from CWM on SD to flash it?
EDIT!!!!! If i had remembered to format the right things then I wouldn't have had an issue.
If you are having the problem described above remember to format BOOT, System, and Data. And then flash your rom.

Thank you I don't know what I was thinking, if I had just formated the right things it would have worked just fine, I am a tard sometimes.
Hi, I just flashed CM7.2 MiRaGe - KANG build, from the recovery, and now i`m stuck at it.
I did a dalvik wipe before flash it.
Now, every time reboots into recovery. (CWM 3.2.0.1)
I did a nandroid restore, i flashed again, and wipe all and restore, and wipe all and flashed again... :/
Is there any solution, before I search the "back to stock and root again" posts?
Were you trying to install onto the SD card or the internal emmc memory? Give us some more details of which method you were using. I don't understand your reference to a Nandroid restore as part of this. That would normally be used to restore a previous back up.
If you were installing onto SD card then just removing the card should get you back to stock and then you can start again.
If you were installing to internal then it sounds like you have somehow managed to flash just Recovery and not the real ROM. In that case you should be able to just check you have a good ROM download, put MiRaGe back on the SD card, wipe, and reflash it from recovery.
Sorry, I'll start from the beginning
I was on CM 7.1 RC, on emmc (always on emmc) and i downloaded 7.2 mirage, copied it to SD card, reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik, and flashed (and gapps too).
Then rebooted, and rebooted into recovery.
Then i downloaded 7.2 mirage again and flash it, nothing.
Then i did a complete wipe, and flashed again 7.1 rc, reboot, nothing.
Then i restore a previous backup of my 7.1 RC, reboots to recovery.
I turned off for a while too, nothing, it boots into recovery.
That does sound strange as your first steps sound like they should have worked fine, although I probably would have done a data and cache wipe when doing a major ROM change.
What may be worth a try is to power up with N key held down so you get into the boot menu. You can then select the boot source (emmc) and the boot type Normal and then see if that boots into CM7.
If not then it sounds like your Normal boot image has got overwritten with a clockwork image but the flash should update that unless something is failing.
I think you have to try the flash again and watch for errors.
I flashed a couple of times again, and then i make a sd-bootable card with cwm recovery and a new rom and everything goes well now (already installed ics)
A detail: when booting into boot menu, n+power, the source always is set to SD, then I change to emmc, reboot, nothing. Go to that boot menu, and again is set to SD...
Thanks for your time
ooops... it happens again!, how can i fix this, how can i format the boot entirely and start from 0 ?

Two ways I think you can go.
1. Make a clockwork SD card from eyeballer image. Put MiRaGe ROM on. This should boot and allow you to install ROM onto emmc. If card is then removed and replaced with a clean single partition non-bootable SD then this should then boot into CM7 MiRaGe and allow you to install gapps and you can then also download ROM Manager app and use that to flash CWM onto emmc as well.
2. If you have a running SD CM7 system, get ROM Manager app from the market, then use Flash CWM function to get a decent 3.2.0.1 Nook Color CWM onto emmc. Then you should be able to power + N select emmc, recovery and be able to boot into recovery OK. From there you can then install a new ROM (e.g. MiRaGe) onto emmc.
If your internal partitioning is completely screwed up then you will need to check out

and maybe use the repartition-boot-with-stock.zip to get you back to a stock boot set up.

A fundamental question.
After flashing and before rebooting, did you remove the uSD card off NC?
Hi all,
Few problems with my TF101. I was running Cyanogen mod rom (not sure witch version, the boot screen was an alien in a vortex). Anyway i was getting some random reboots and the tablet started booting into CWM every time. I have tried several versions of CWM and other recoveries but none will install. In CWM i select the zip install-success, hard reboot and the pad again boots to CWM recovery v5.8.3.4. (also i cant access my external SD with this version of CWM)
While this is a nuisance the latest issue is than no custom will boot. They stick on the boot animation (i have waited up to 4 hours). The only rom that works is Revolver 4.2.1 but wifi does not work.
When i try to install stock roms in CWM it aborts with no error.
When I install the recovery installer APK it reboots to CWM v5.8.3.4 and does nothing
My ideal end state is a functioning CM rom and CWM that boots correctly.
Any ideas folks?
fixed my CWM issue with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29632231&postcount=3
I then installed the recovery apk and wsa able to install CM V6
I have an Acer A500, it has the v9 bootloader installed. I also have TWRP 2.6.3 installed as the secondary ROM, the recovery is also completely broken, fastboot and zip will not install on it (TWRP 2.6 is to big), but recovery using 2.4.4.0 does boot. That fine since with secondary and recovery installed I can use TWRP from either, which works great, but if I install a ROM it only boots once, then poof, its as if there is no kernel it will not boot. To boot a new ROM I have to format everything except the external SD (which I have removed) then install the ROM reboot to TWRP install it again, then reboot at which time it will boot about 1 is 3 times, if it fails try again and repeat.
Now the ACER is basically useless now as I can not boot safely to anything other than TWRP, I've tried 2 4.0.3 ROMs but I can not get the Installers to run, I've tried 2 10.1 ROMS boot both booted only once and also a 4.3 ROM (build 5 and 6) boot again both booted only once. I'm out of ideas I'd flash almost anything at this point to reset, but then there is that Windows 8.1 issue in which I can not get ACER driver to work (Duh!), and I do not think the issue is going to be fixed, I can only come up with 2 options 1 the internal storage is going bad, or the entire setup is just toast, since it can work, it just does not do so more than once.
Currently I have 10.2 (build6) running, so long as I do not need to reboot, so for now it is charging.
Any suggestions,
ERIC

I have same problem with TWRP. Try to replace TWRP with TouchRecovery
Ok, so im trying to install Cyanogen Mod 10. I have everything backed up to my SD card, and I have both the ROM and Gapps on my SD card too. when i boot into recovery mode, the follwing screen appears. after a few minutes of doing abdolutely nothing, it will eventually just reboot back into the normal operating system. What am I doing wrong/how can i fix this?
Do you have an aftermarket recovery or SafeStrap installed? If you don't, you won't be able to install CM.
That is the screen for your stock recovery. To get into recovery itself, you hold vol down and tap vol up at the same time. If you have SafeStrap installed, you need to reboot the phone and wait for the SafeStrap screen to come up. When it comes up, choose recovery, and then you'll be booted into SS recovery. In there, you can create a slot and flash CM.
