I successfully rooted my NC 1.2 with this procedure: Barnes & Noble Nook Color: Full Update Guide from the Cyanogenmod Wiki.
After I flashed the Clockworkmod, I went to back up the current Rom in Rom Manager. The NC rebooted and is now stuck on the "read forever" screen. I can not power down, and can not access recovery. Anyone have any ideas as to what happened and how to recover? I appreciate the help!
UPDATE: Got into recovery with a CWM SD. Used procedure to uninstall CWM without breaking root. Am now waiting to charge in order to check where I'm at. Still wondering why backing up the stock from ROM Manager caused the freeze.
UPDATE: So far so good. Back up and running. Just need to update ROM Manager

Timeline:
Flashed Onyx 4.2
Flashed EugeneKernel A11
Installed OCLF through Clockwork
---everything was working fine, but im anal about my phone and decided i wanted to nandroid restore back to 2.1, so heres that time line:
Disabled OCLF
Factory Wiped
Installed JAC-OV/UV Kernel (2.1 compatible)
Went to Nandroid Restore
I noticed that the restore finished way more quickly than usual, but clockwork said it finished successfully. so i went to reboot and it rebooted into stock recovery. odd. so i chose "reinstall packages" to flash back into clockwork, and now everytime it says "replacing recovery with Clockworkmod recovery" it then goes to "Vibrant" screen, and boots back into stock recovery. (same thing happens if i simply try to reboot, i always get sent back to stock recovery)
So is this happening because Clockworkmod LagFix edition is not compatible with my 2.1 kernel?? If so, is there a way to correct this WITHOUT using Odin?? ( i tried to adb push my old clockworkmod update.zip, in hopes that it would just overwrite the current one, it pushes successfully but same symptoms still occur)
Thanks ahead! (also, since i just backed up my sdcard today, id be more than willing to wipe my sdcard, if theres a way to do that through ADB without needing to be in ADB shell)
So, I converted my Blade from gen 1 to gen 2, and now it will only ever boot into recovery. I have an update.zip on my sd card that I am trying to apply, but it just hangs on the same screen.
Is there anything I can do?
edit: I managed to run the update.zip (I used the stock orange ROM) but now it's just hanging on the green android.
edit2: Another update, now I can't access clockwork recovery at all.
edit3: Yep, another update. Through the method outlined here I managed to get it back to recovery. I tried to install Swedish Springs but it still boots into ClockworkMod Recovery.
I have a brand new Nook v1.3.
I CW flashed my sdcard, and installed to 4.5.18 first... all booted up fine afterwards.
Then I installed 4.6.18, and now its doing an infinite Nook Color loop.
I cleared the cache, and data, and rebooted the Nook, and still it looped.
I tried searching for ideas to fix it, and I didn't catch anything (other than what I did ^^).
I'm hoping someone can help me.
Thanks in advance!!
That is often a symptom of using an outdated version of ClockWork Mod Recovery. Try flashing over the version you are using with one of the versions here and then proceed as before.

I redid everything with the new version of Clockwork mod, and flashed ManualNooter 4.6.16, and I wiped the cache and data, and rebooted, and its still looping. Should I reflash down to 4.5.18 first, and then do 4.6.16?
Thanks for your help!
I also went as far as trying to do the NookColor/RestoreToStock, and I can't seem to get the 8 interrupted boots to go into the restore.
and ADB doesn't seem to like my computer, because I can't seem to get adb shell to connect right to manually edit the file to 8.
Nevermind... I just updated it to 1.4.1 and ran manualanooter for that version - fixed
My Iconia has CWM installed. I used it a while ago to install the leaked ICS rom. I tried to install the most recent (official) ICS rom. Now my Iconia will not boot past the Iconia logo. I've loaded CWM and formatted everything and reinstalled the official rom. No go.
I figure at this point I have to use nvflash to install a new recovery image and rom. Could somebody tell me how to do that and what files to get?
Thanks
Before doing anything else have you tried wiping cache and data? Has worked for me when a rom wont boot. Have you still got cwm can you access it? If no cwm you can accomplish this by holding power and volume up then toggle the rotation lock.
Yes, I have access to CWM. I have tried wiping everything. I even successfully installed a new rom. The device still will not boot past the Acer logo.
I booted wit hte method you described. Two messages appeared in quick succession, "Clearing data..." and "Clearing cache". After the cache message, the device just sits there doing nothing at all.
Previously I had the data partition encrypted. Could that be causing trouble?
did you install an ICS bootloader?
I'm not sure. That is why I created this thread. I'm looking to get the recovery and OS image necessary to get this device working again.
As the previous poster noted, have you switched to the ICS bootloader? When I flashed my A500 with an ICS rom it too got stuck in a bootloop. I then discovered that I actually had to flash the ICS bootloader berfore installing the new rom.

You can't install official ROM with CWM. You need Acer recovery! This issue has been answered several times. Use search button!!!
Hi awesome XDA dudes
I've searched the forums, and even posted in the basic QA section to no avail. I may have just missed it somewhere, but here is the issue.
Tablet will work fine in Lightspeed 4.8 ROM. No issue there. But, when I try to get into the recovery (power and volume down) I get "booting recovery kernel image," forever.
I recently changed from the Clockwork to TWRP recovery and that is when the recovery function would no longer load.
How can I get back to Clockwork or smililar so that I can put a different ROM on my tab?
Thanks in advance!
Tom
Fixed this problem, only to find another.
So, since my tablet would still function normally (aside from recovery) I downloaded the Acer Recovery Installer App. And this did what everything else failed to do. It installed Clockwork Mod and I was actually able to get into the recovery. Whew!
So I went to install Flex shockwave ROM but the install froze at the Aroma 2.56 stage...forever. Tried again unsuccessfully and gave up. I did properly wipe and format beforehand. I then tried installing CM10 Rom, same exact problem.
So, I used Acer Recovery installer and loaded the TWRP recovery. Here is where things get interesting. I booted into recovery, wiped data and caches, and tried to install the aforementioned ROMs. Each time, Aroma installer worked fine and I was presented with all the install options, all the bells and whistles. After completing my selections, I was prompted to reboot.....
And each time the tablet hangs on the Acer spalsh screen.
So now my problem is reversed. I have access to recovery, but no ROM. :crying:
SOLVED !!

Ok, so I had a working ROM but my recovery was fried. So, using Acer Recovery Installer I was able to get a working recovery going.
Then the next problem was that I could not get CM10 to install. When I realized I needed to flash the bootloader (and yes fellow noobs this is different than the recovery) I was unsuccessful.
I tried the automated route using the Blackthund3r app, but the process would just hang at Entering bootloader.
I tried the manual NVFlash route provided by Dibbs and it would get past this point and then hang.
So Dibbs (thanks dude) helped me out via email and suggested I download babsector.rar
After I extracted the rar file, I saw the A501 A.bat file and flashed it. This provided me with hope as it flashed the tablet and the screen atcually read "PASS." But, I wasn't done yet as I still could not install CM10. So, back to APX mode and back into the babsector rar folder. I flashed the Tab with A501 B.bat and followed that immediately with flashing the v8.bat file. In the V8.bet file I chose the Thor 1.7.3 recovery (as suggested by Dibbs and others) and WOOHOOO.....PASS on the tablet again.
Feeling ever more confident, I booted into recovery and flashed the CM10 Rom....SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are having trouble....don't give up. Thanks again for the help to Dibbs and OKAstro!!
