Have I messed up my recovery partition? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently repartitioned my NookColor's internal memory. I changed the partition from:
/data = 2GB & /emmc = 4GB
to:
/data = 5GB & /emmc =1GB
For some reason I now am unable to boot into my recovery console. I tried reflashing it via Rom Manager, but whenever it tries to go to recovery, it goes to the Stock NC rom's Factory Reset screen. My CWM no longer work. Did the repartition somehow messed up the recovery too?

Did you try reinstalling CWR after repartitioning? I wouldn't think repartitioning would cause the problem... but it is possible.
First thing I'd try is installing CWR again... and see if it will boot into recovery then... if not... repartition back to 2 GB data.

error mounting /data- brick? LOL

I tried reflashing a sense 3.0 2.3.3 rom because of some minor issues. Now I may have nuked my /data partition. first it wouldn't format so I pulled battery numerous times. and Mounted it through mounts and storage menu, then I hit format, and it formatted, so I hit mount again and flashed the rom. and when I restarted the phone after splash screen the phone restarted and went into recovery
Tried everything including mounting /data again and it keeps saying error mounting /data. am I screwed?
I have .2007 eng bootloader btw. shoud I try the pd15img?

I don't think you need to do that. You could do a fastboot erase, then go back into recovery and wipe data to reformat it /data, effectively starting from nothing.

Now I am getting mount /cache errors. aww man I think my phone is done....
edit: used the pd15img and I am back on stock :| s= off but I have the stock bootloader wtf.... how do I get my eng bootloader back?
this is how I fixed it:
I was on eng bootloader, but then I got reverted back to the stock bootloader.
This is how I encountered the problem. first of all I was having issues with raffy's fusion 3.0 rom, so I decided to reflash it, but it wouldn't flash or format /data, then I mounted it to through mounts and storage on the latest cwm 3.0.2.4 and hit format.
After that I tried reflashing his rom, it flashed but, after splashscreen I was redirected to my recovery instead. that's when I freaked because when I tried mounting data it said error cannot mount /data. so I fired up adb and did fastboot erase system -w and it erased it including cache.
then I popped up into recovery and BOOM started having cache mount errors experienced by a lot of people lately.
I thought I was SOL, but nope I downloaded the pd15img from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
and put it on the root of my sd card and it worked....
so if anyone of you dudes are having similar problems try that ^

unable to mount /data. pd15img won't restore anything :(

-I was on virtous 2.35 then I tried to flash 2.37. I went to recovery and hit /mount data to wipe /data partition I kept getting unable to mount /data in recovery. I have fixed this issue before by just applying the pd15img.zip file in hboot.
I was on the ENG hboot
rooted with visionary on the GOOD eMMC SEM04G 2.17GiB
and now when I tried running pd15img.zip
it says
1.bootloader ok
2. boot ok
3. recovery ok
4. system fail- UZ
5.userdata- ok
6. splash 1- ok
7. tp
8. tp bypassed
9. radio v2 ok
10. radio cust ok
Image unzipping fail
update fail!
press power to reboot.
Any help? Did I break my eMMC chip? do I have to go in for a warranty exchange (I heard tmo stopped giving mytouch 4g replacements rather they are giving g2's?)
what to do?
update 1: /data has been successfully mounted!
what I did was use use a fresh SDCARD formatted with fat32 from windows with
this pd15img (second on the list)- This file contains the new Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 and the Eng H-Boot 85.2007 (note that I have s= off)
from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200147
flashing 2.35 right now wish me luck :S
update 2: first flash didn't work after mytouch 4g splash screen phone is restarting, doing second flash. If this doesn't work I will try flashing a pd15img with a mysense leak in it.
update 3: looks like 2nd flash is GO! at VU loading screen!
Issue has been resolved (once again by me -.-)
thnx anyways guys.
Why don't you just do a regular full data wipe and reflash the rom? I've never had to mount data to wipe.

Not sure why but everytime I do regular wipe and then flash VU it doesn't work. I have to manually mount /system, /cache, and /data and then wipe.

glad you got your issue fixed, but it does seem a little weird that you have to do all that just to flash a rom I usually just wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, then format system and Im good to go. never had any issues that way, no mounting or anything

Help! Formatted My SD Card in CW Recovery!

I formatted my sd card in CWR! I then tried to load a new rom. Now I'm stuck in bootscreen and I forgot to save a backup to my computer! Not sure what to do.

Wipe cache and dalvik-cache from the recovery. Then try to boot. If that doesn't work you need to fully wipe sadly.

You need hold down the "volume up" button and the power button. that will put you in boot mode. then scroll to recovery with volume button and press power. now you can choose "mount and storage" then mount usb. now you can put any flashable rom on your phone. then flash.
If everything fails just go to CWM and wipe everything (/system, /data, /cache, /boot) and flash your favorite ROM or go stock.
Cool

Yeah I tried loading a couple different roms but it always gets stuck on the bootscreen. I believe it's because I completely wiped out my sd card through CWM.

Nah. If you really only wiped SD card in cwm your still good to go w/o problems.
Download a ROM for your device (Nexus S or Nexus S 4G) (HINT: To prevent problems with boot looping w/o formating everything download the ROM you were using at the time you wiped the sdcard.)
Connect phone with your pc/lappy.
Go to cwm recovery
Go to Wipe
Hit wipe dalvik-cache
Hit Go back once
Go to mounts & storage
Hit format /cache
*** Steps between the ***s ONLY if you're still bootlooping after installing new ROM (so leave them out the first time, if it fails come back and start at the steps above but include those 3 below this time)
format /system
format /data
format /boot
***
Hit mount /sdcard (might not be necessary if it already says unmount /sdcard)
Hit mount USB storage
Check your pc/lappy, the sd card should pop up now (if not, you're missing drivers, get them from the tutorials on how to flash ROMs around here)
Copy the ROM you downloaded previously to the sd card folder that popped up
Once finished copying hit Unmount on hte phone
Hit Go back once
Hit install zip from sdcard
Hit choose zip from sdcard
Navigate to and then hit the ROM you downloaded
Select Yes
Wait for the process to finish
Hit reboot system now
Yeah it's working! I guess the key was to completely wipe everything. Thanks!

[Q] Help! Memory Size Dropped Nexus 7

After rooting my Nexus 7 wifi 2012 tablet and trying several back ups and restores I started to notice the size of memory has gone from 13gig to 6gig.
I have done a factory reset from boot up recovery mode using TWRP. I also tried other options in TWRP wipe option, clearing internal cache, many other options to mention, not sure what most did, tinkering
I have also restored to a factory image using Nexus root toolkit option flash stock + unroot (forced flash mode) and restored from a downloaded image.
I thought restoring to factory image was suppose to put everythng back as it was! where has all the memory gone! 13gig before rooting and now 6 gig :crying:
EDIT
Well, I got the size to show back correctly with the factory image restored (13.36gb). I booted to recovery and selected "wipe data/factory reset" and also did the "wipe cache partition" just to be sure.
Why none of this work when I was doing the same from TWRP recovery mode rooted? I have to root again now, bet the same thing will happen and left with lower memory and no way to fix? time............................
Usually, it's TWRP I've always had partition formatting issues with it. Use the CWM recovery meant for your device instead.

RealPariah,
Thanks for the reply.
Have it sorted now. Turns out NRK buggy. Would not put nandroid backup to destination on hard drive. Not even with a reboot. Hence memory on Nexus tablet shrinking. I should have clocked on earlier. will check out CWM.
I was thinking of keeping NRK. Just read about CWM. Would it be o.k to download CWM from Googleplay and run it or would that interfere with NRK?
I've got the same issue. This weekend I just sideloaded 5.1.1 on mine (it's a 2012 model), and I'm looking at 6Gb only now (it's a 16GB N7).
I also have TWRP on it.
I used the Wugnet Nexus Root Toolkit for everything, which also supports CWM.. but why is that the one "meant" for the device? It's a custom recovery. Or is it more closely based on the stock recovery than TWRP is?
What's NRK?
I did a wipe on the cache partition already, so that clearly didn't work. I guess I could wipe data and start all over again.
PS. Using ES File explorer, I've found a number of what appears to be actual copies of my emulated sdcard data, not just symlinks:
1) /sdcard -symlink (to /storage/emulated/0 I think?)
2) /storage/emulated/0 (not a symlink)
3) /storage/emulated/legacy (not a symlink, but data is in there too.. a copy?)
4)/storage/sdcard0 (symlink)
5) /mnt/sdcard (symlink)
6) /data/media/0 (not a symlink, another copy?) Also, weirdly, the only directory I could change permissions on if I wanted to..
I'd have thought that would have been /Storage/emulated/0 .
I think /storage/emulated/0 is the main actual repository, and I get that there are symlinks, but /storage/emulated/legacy and /data/media/0 look like full on duplications to me.
Found the answer - I've got my space back.
1) Restore stock recovery,
2) boot into it and
3) do a factory reset from there.

TWRP cannot wipe data cannot unencrypt

So I finally unbricked and booted the stock rom. Now im trying to reroot the thing.
When I go to format/unencrypt in TWRP I get ERROR 255 -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p54
Is my data partition permanently corrupted? I know that partition exists inside /data.
I've already tried to manually format /data, repairing it, changing it from f2fs to ext4 and back. All failed.
I'm have a similar problem. I cannot mount anything thru twrp. System, data, cache, can't do a wipe all fail. I've tried changing file system the back but it fails. I was able to mount my sdcard and start the recovery but.... its. Been "working" for and hour with no process increase. I'm wondering if I can force a fix partition thru adb sideload. Or... how can I decrypt it. Also the internal storage registers as 0 out of 0, same as /data
