Well, in trying to clean off data, I have really monkeyed things up. Can't download anything from Market, new or old. If I boot into recovery will that take me back to the original, clean CM7 on my sd card? Please help.
I will answer my own post in case anyone else wonders what happens: nothing. I rebooted into recovery (CM7 is on the sd card, not eemc), and nothing really happened, or so it seemed. The screen went black and after a while I turned it back on, and it booted normally into CM7. But after that, the market worked for me.
Anyway, problem solved.

Hey all, first off, sorry if this is the wrong forum. If it is could one of the mods please move it.
OK, here's my issue. I had CyanogenMods latest build, 3.4 I think and decided to try The Dudes cupcake 1.RC1. I forgot to do a wipe before installing TheDudesCupcake but when my phone came up it worked ALMOST fine. Had a crash here and there of something, not sure what, but the phone still worked fine. Today, I had an issue with a video (is the SD Card) not being viewable with "Video Player" so I decided to remove the card and pop it back (hoping this would somehow refresh the player). Didnt unmount it so I got the error about i may loose data without unmounting. (i'd done it before without a problem). Well this time around my card was corrupted so I ended up formatting with the phone. tried going into settings to view the size of the drive not since I didnt know if the whole card was wiped or only the FAT32 partition. Kept getting an error while trying to go into settings so I decided to reboot. After reboot I was able to get into settings and saw the whole card was wiped (back to full 8GB of empty space). Thought I would wipe right there from settings since I was getting an error or 2 after reboots and since I had gotten that error when trying to get into settings and then updating back into Dudes Cupcake. (thought the wipe would get rid of any issues of going between Cyanogen to Dudes Cupcake). Once I clicked on wipe and android reboots, it's trying to do something but just keeps rebooting. I've got Cyanogens restore image v1.2 on. So I see the G1 logo, then comes up
Build CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF
Formatting DATA ....
and at the Formatting DATA part it does the reboot and goes back to the G1 logo and comes back to formatting data and reboot.
I tried doing a HOME + POWER but it just goes back to formatting data. I tried doing a CAMERA + POWER but it goes back to formatting DATA.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks and sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give all my steps.

when it says formatting data then done, are you pressing and holding home and back or just pressing and releasing. when the phone is powering on and you hold the home and back keys it will do a hard reset just like a wipe(same thing) or since there is no data to lose any more, try pulling the battery, this will not do any harm as you are not flashing anything
since you have the cyanogen recovery image you should have gone into the console at recovery and typed
fix_permissions.sh or sh fix_permissions.sh
Thanks for the response tubaking. My problem was that it didnt say done. right when the "Formatting Data...." line came up, it reboots, without saying done. And I couldnt get into the Home+Power or the Camera + power screens. Neither one would go there, just back into "Formatting Data:..." screen. After reading half way through the Brick thread I saw someone mention pulling the SIM card out, didnt think that would help but it finally dropped me back into the recovery console. Might I ask why something as simple as removing the SIM drops the loop and takes you to recovery?
thanks.
I have been running the kanged builds of CM9 for a while, but it began to get bogged down recently and would freeze up almost daily forcing a hard shutdown and reboot.
Sometime yesterday, it began to boot only into recovery no matter what option I tried in the Cyanoboot menu. From there I tried a factory reset and wipe dalvik to hopefully get back into CM9 and here's where the strangeness really kicked off.
Clockwork (which was running off emmc) would freeze in the middle of the factory reset just like it would when CM9 was running (the graphics would degrade slightly upon inspection of the screen).
So, I grabbed my old sdcard with clockwork recovery on it to boot from sd, and I run into the same problem again. Freezing before a wipe, factory reset, or install from sd can complete.
Now, after each failed attempt in clockwork (sd and emmc) it sticks at a backlit black screen and after a hard shutdown refuses to boot (sd or emmc) for about an hour, only to repeat the madness again.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try from here or familiar with a similar situation?
My sd clockwork version is 3.2.something and I've also tried 3.0.1.something.
UPDATE: For reasons unknown, my Nook seems to be booting regularly as of this morning. However, I am still unable to get a successful flash out of any rom. The closest I've gotten to success is stuck in a boot loop. I think from here I'll likely be able to figure it out, but just as before...
Any help is welcome and appreciated!
I had the same problem with the black screen when trying to install different roms on mine. I just kept clicking the power button and after a few minutes it would kick back on every time.
There is an entire thread specifically on this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
As far as CM9 I can't help you much there. I would just try to install a different rom, and hope that works.
Thanks!
I had seen that thread, but I thought my experience was a different; either way, I've managed past that problem using a method similar to yours.
If this helps any, I have been trying to to 7.2 RC1 for a while as well, but it will not get me any further than the stuck boot screen same as the CM9.
Have you tried to follow the tread on returning it to stock ?? I would reformat and repartition it and return it to stock ... then make sure it runs. After that I would try to reinstall the new roms ...
Just my 2 cents

I used manual nooter over weekend, everything has been working well, but I did have a hard time figuring out soft keys. For reasons I'm nott sure when I tried to use Nook color tools I could only get to BN tools, not the option for all settings which was originally there. I decided to power Nook off an turn back on as that often helps on my Bionic. Well, upon turning on I had the orange menu askin if I wanted to reboot, restore etc. I tried rebooting, was stuck on loop, powered back on and off, did a back up, tried to reboot again and stuck on loop. Do I need to do a complete wipe and start over? SD card seems to be working fine. Any thoughts? Everything else seemed fine, could use play store etc. I did download Firefox last night. thanks.
Updating, through another thread on this forum I went into CWM recovery, did a factory reset, cleared cache, wiped dalvik and rebooted. I think I am getting back to stock, Nook is trying to connect to WiFi, but my office router isn't showing up. Once I get past this, hopefully I can connect somewhere and try Manual Nooter again. Crisis averted, I think.
Last update, sorry for the panicky post. Was able to connect to Wifi, re-register Nook, then reinstall ManualNooter from SD card. Bootloop is gone, CWM recovery worked. After searching deep enough with the posts, everything is working as it should. Thanks for all of the info here and tolerating my Nooby panic.
Having an issue that I cant seem to figure out. I have been using various roms eg Omega V7,S4 Google Edition V16, Fox Hound 1.1 etc. They all install fine, factory reset before and after wiping the various cashes as required. I also format the SD storage to be sure, but once up and running, apps installed, every time I restart the phone or for some reason it freezes it just get stuck at the white Samsung S4 logo.
If i go back in to recovery (TWRP 2.6.0.0) factory reset does nothing to fix this. I have also noticed that sometimes the internal SD shows as 0 Mb, and I have to reformat this to re-install a ROM. (Getting corrupt some how?) Only re-installing the ROM from fresh seems to get my phone up and running again. Until something happens. Any ideas?
I follow all instructions as detailed, and never come across this issue with my S3.
Ok after trying a few things the only thing that seemed to fix the problem was reflashing stock firmware using oden.
I had to reformat the internal storage again as this was acting like it was encrypted, which it was not. Think this problem that caused my phone not to boot when when restarted.
No Idea why it did this but its fixed now.

same problem. As long as i dont reboot it works fine...first reboot it get stucked....
willhave to reverse to stock then...
too bad i loved GE!!!
So simple and fast!
As above Gents. I was given it as a broken phone. I had a go at it some time ago. Ive put the Clockwork mod recovery on the memory card (which I can get to) and also have flashed a rom but, whenever it reboots it goes straight back to the stock android recovery screen. Does anyone know a fix for this (if there is one)
I thought id revisit it (with the opening of a thread)!
Cheers to anyone that chips in.
Comfy
Same Problem
Im having the same problem too. After i flashed CWM 6.0.5.0 tortoro, it jsut keeps booting into recovery only. Also tried wiping cache, still fails to boot system. Help
