[Q] CWM problem

Good day all. I recently bought a Nook Color. I'm running CM7.0.2 along with gapps 20110613 from a 16gb SanDisk class 4 SD. When set up the apps (after enabling wifi) I got an error, due to the fact that my sucky router dropped the signal. As a result of this I was not able to download gmail, google maps, etc. My android market runs perfectly but I wanted to flash gapps so as to download gmail and the others. I went into ROM manager and updated to the latest CWM. However, no matter what I do I can't but into recovery. I tried n+power button, reboot into recovery from the power button menu, and from within ROM manager. All no go...it just booted into CM7, so I removed the SD card to boot into stock Nook 1.2 software. When I did this it brought me to the CWM recovery menu (SD card not in). Of course I could not select anything on the menu. Put back in the SD while still in the menu to try select an option but nothing. Shut it down by holding the power button and booted it back up and it went str8 into CM7. Shut down took out SD and it booted into stock Nook 1.2 software. What am I doing wrong guys? I'm trying to flash the overclock kernel and reflash gapps. THANKS

Could the reason gmail, youtube, googlemaps didn't install on setup be due to the fact that I'm not in the USA? If so I'd still like to know what the problem is so I can flash the overclock kernel.

No one has any idea? I know one option is to backup and redo everything, but I'd really like some troubleshooting ideas before.

Did you use the 1.3 image from verygreens thread? If so the old 7.0.* stables are not supported. You will need to back up and redo it either with the old image or a new CM7 version.

Yea I used the 1.3 in the thread with 7.0.2. What version cm7 would I need to use with the 1.3? 7.0.3 or a nightly,? Where would I be able to find an older image to work with 7.0.2 and what version of the image should it be?

The 1.3 image won't work with any 7.0.* versions. You should upgrade to either a recent nightly or the 7.1.0 RC. You could find an older image somewhere but there isn't much of a point as you would have to redo it all anyway so why not upgrade? Plus your battery life will improve by a lot as 7.1 RC and the nightlys have deep sleep.

As I said many times to newbie who runs CM7 off uSD that do not or should not mess up with ROM Manager. In fact, there are members also confirm that if booting off uSD, ROM Manager has no effect.
Based on what you, OP, described, you had flashed the CwM into the internal memory.
Keep your fingers crossed as I do hope you didn't screw up anything else.
Anyway, using verygreen's 1.3 image along with the latest nightly-built CM7 and the latest 06132001 gapps and boot it off uSD again. You should be fine.
Before that, fix your home wireless network first.

I decided to just go with 7.1RC1 since I wanted the better battery life. Is there a way to check about the CWM on the internal and how would I go about removing it if I did? I ask for warranty purposes ofcourse since I opted for the 2 year extended one. Also to flash upgrades and such, since you don't recomend using ROM manager then how should I go about doing it (i.e. overclocking kernel)?

1. I never have any issue related to battery with any nightly build that I've ever used. I am currently having the nb153 and it is fantastic.
2. Check CwM and how to remove off the internal memory? I don't know any quick way except restoring the original ROM.
Again, for warranty purposes, strongly suggest running off uSD
3. Updating by loading/copying/dragging the updated files onto the root folder (aka "boot" partition), then TRY loading into Recovery by:
a. combination of power/N buttons if you have skill or
b. let it boot normally into CM7, wait until completely loaded, then reboot and select "recovery" option. Keep yr fingers crossed. This is an easy method but if it doesn't work then option a is the only choice.

Sorry the battery issue was as compared to the current CM7 stable not the nightly. I got everything installed so far besides the overclock kernel. So I will try your recommendation for booting into recovery not using ROM manager.

You don't flash anything when running off an sd card you just boot into recovery and then reboot. Easiest way to get the overclock kernel would be to just upgrade to the latest nightly.

[Q] 7.2 stable wont load

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've updated a number of times and never had a problem. I started out with a cm7.0 stable. I've updated till I'm at 7.2 rc3. Now that 7.2 stable is out I'm trying to update to it.
What I'm doing:
I load this new update into my boot partition and then reboot into recovery mode. It says it does it all but still leaves me with 7.2 rc3. what am I doing wrong?

You need to rename the cm- zip to update- at the beginning. CM has changed the naming standard to cm- and the SD needs update-.
Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk

I had this same issue, I tried to change the zip to update.zip and that didn't work. So I tried update-7.0.2.zip and that also didn't work. Am I typing it incorrectly? It has been a long time since I have touched my nook, and am rusty doing these things again.
Thanks

Try changing it to start with "update-cm":
update-cm-7.2.0-encore-signed.zip
OR
to start with "cm_encore_full":
cm_encore_full_7.2.0-signed.zip
Although update-7.2.zip should have worked.
Are you seeing the penguin when booting into SD recovery? If not... then it is not booting into the SASD "recovery" to install the ROM onto the SD.

I just added the update- to the beginning of the title that existed and it worked like a charm.

Changing the name to "update-cm-7.2.0-encore-signed.zip" worked 100%
Based on the failure note when I tried to boot from the sd card, I was looking for a file with a different name until I came across this thread.
I am using a class 4 32gb Kingston card. It seems to work as well as the 1gb SanDisk I did the test install on.
Both seem to take a couple of minutes for a cold boot. I will get a 32gb San Disk and compare it.
Now to learn about a Tablet instead of a reader. I've already loaded a couple of Apps that B&N wouldn't let load.
Thanks everybody for all the work and especially sharing it!
Blessings!!

Update to yesterday.
Bought a 32gb class 4 San Disk. Installed a new image on the card and rebooted the nook color. (it's an early one, bought on Pre order when they first came out)
System definitely boots up faster, the touch screen is more stable to use( with the kingston it was jittery). The apps seem to respond a little faster (not much to compare as I only loaded a few with the kingston, knowing I intended to do a fresh install.) I bought the card at a local small town Radio Shack (yeah, full retail but I leave on a trip where I plan to use it a lot for a week so I needed it done and working) If it stays stable it will have been worth it.
I'm going to Air Venture at Oshkosh, the worlds largest airshow of experimental aircraft. Supposedly the whole place has wifi. There is an app from Sporty's Pilot Shop (free) B&N wouldn't accept. That was the straw that finally made me mod the Color. Has all the maps, Vendors, displays, times, etc.
Again thanks to all the developers and users who post. Hopefully my little contribution will help.
Blessings All!!

CM9 on Nook Color is frustrating me

I just bought a Nook Color and installed CM9 on it. The bottom where it displays the notification and wireless signal is gone. Also every 5 seconds is force closing everything. Apollo looks cool but I cant check it out mainly cause itll force close it. N i forgot to add it FREEZES! Can anyone tell me if I downloaded the wrong thing n have to re install or just forget it. N if i have to re flash please give me the WORKING links n directions THANKS!!!

How did you install it? To SD or internal memory. And which version of CM9 are you using? Opengl or non-opengl?
If you installed to internal memory, did you factory reset via CWM first? You need to if coming from stock. You can still do it now.
If you installed to SD, what class SD card are you using? It should be a Sandisk class 4.

Your download isn't broken. CM9 on the NC is - it isn't really *done* yet on the Nook Color. Developers are working on it, but for now your best bet is CM7.2. I expect we might hear an announcement very soon, but for now, use CM7.2.

It's obvious that the installation of this person has problems.
CM9 DOESNT have this kind of problems. It might be a bit slower in hardware acceleration matters in comparison to CM7, but it sure works fine in all other matters.
It's quite mature by now.

What did you download?
Edit: Forget it. LeapinLar already asked all the pertinent questions.

I'm having similar issues as well. It's kind of sluggish and it has frozen a few times already. I downloaded the nightly by Eyeballer over at Techerrata: cm-9-encore-20120904-0700-unofficial.zip.
In the instructions over at Androidforums does say that it might be sluggish the first few days so I guess I will just have to wait it out. I did just install about roughly 12 hours ago.

I just installed today, over my CM7.2 install in internal memory. It seemed okay at first, though a bit sluggish. But then I re-booted it and now it is acting possessed. Apps are launching by themselves (Play Store, a notepad app I had installed, voice command window, etc.) Very odd. I've shut it down and re-booted, same thing. I am thinking of maybe doing a complete fresh install from a SD card, wiping out all my apps from 7.2 and see if that helps at all. Or, I made a backup of my 7.2 install from CWM before installing CM9, so can always go back to that.

Just to follow up on my previous post: My NC running CM9 (latest GL version) did stabilize quite a bit after a day or so. But it still is very sluggish at times, to respond to screen touches, opening apps, and even loading webpages. I ran the Quadrant benchmark tool and the results are slightly lower than I got with CM7.2, but not terribly so. I'm debating whether to go back to 7.2, or do a factory reset and try a fresh install of CM9 and see if that's any better? Is there any evidence that a fresh install will work better than updating over a installed 7.2?

It's total mistake to update CM9 over Cm7 or any other different system.
To be able to talk about how things should be, you need to do a clean install and then for sure things will be better.

Wow, that made a world of difference! Thanks. I thought I'd read somewhere else that it was okay to update from CM7 to CM9.

Random soft restart problem

So, I've searched the forums, and I haven't seen any posts about my specific problem.
Before I begin, I will confess that I am a flashaholic (there, I said it!!!) and I suspect that the booting problems that I encounter has something to do with the number of times that I have flashed new roms, kernels, and scripts. (I think that scripts are the main culprit)
Now, here is my issue. While using my phone regularly, the phone would begin to delay, and then perform a soft boot. This has happened while I have been playing games, installing apps, browsing the Internet (using Firefox/Dolphin Browser), and most recently, simply setting up my phone after a FRESH INSTALL of my main gb rom listed below. Sometimes, it DOES boot properly, but usually not. Rarely, it does seem full reboots instead of soft reboots.
Another twist to my problem is the fact that usually my phone would get stuck in a boot loop, replaying the booting animation until I do a battery pull, or if I do still hard restart. Usually, after I restart, the phone gets stuck on the white "HTC EVO 4G" splash screen. I have even left it overnight, and it was still on the splash screen when I awoke. I can still boot into recovery and flash a new rom, losing my data that was not backed up. (Just a side note, I am getting tired of starting Tip-Off from the beginning, since my progress doesn't backup in TB)
Thirdly, I have tried re flashing different roms, like SOS+, and I have had the exact same result. This definitely is NOT a problem with the rom! MikG is a great rom, and it was the first rom that I tested when I first rooted my phone. My phone has been rooted since February, and I only begun to experience this issue for the past 3 weeks.
Lastly, I have noticed another bug with my phone while using MikG. I would turn my screen on, and all of my 7 screens would be blank, my apps loaded to the SD would be missing, and I am unable to reinstall any of them, Superuser would stop working, Google Apps would stop working, my phone would be disconnected from my linked email accounts, and I wouldn't be able to reconnect to any of them due to my Gapps being broken. I tried flashing my GB apps, and when I rebooted, I was greeted with a "process.android.acore has failed" or something.
The only reason that I haven't posted this question in themikmik.com is because I know that my problem isn't exclusively a problem with the rom, but with my phone.
I know that big have said a lot, but please help, for this is MORE than annoying.
EDIT: I forgot some details. I am using Smelkus 4.3 recovery (and yes, I triple wipe everything) and I have tried using this rom with the stock kernel, and more commonly with the Anthrax kernel. I tried overclocked, and I tried running at regular speed (998MHz). I tried flashing using TWRP 1.1 (not the touch screen version).
P.S.: When I think about it, I didn't begin to see these random problems until I tried using TWRP for the first time. I got stuck of the splash screen upon my first use, and my reboot problems started from scratch that time.
P.S.S.: Hooray for my first post! Took me two weeks for find something "worthy" of a new post...

What size is your sd card.
Is it partitioned? And to what? ext-3? 4?
Perhaps a sd-ext repair in recovery is in order to fix part of your issue.

My sd is 32gb, and not partitioned. I have 12gb worth of data, and I have honestly procrastinated transferring the files to a computer to partition it. However, my 8gb card that came with the phone wasn't partitioned, and I never had that problem.
Then again, you might be right, since my card is relatively new. But would the card really affect how my phone handles apps, even when no apps are installed to it?

32 GB sdcards have caused problems for some on our EVOs. You may want to try transferring everything to a 16 GB sdcard.
You may also try reflashing your recovery.

Hmmm...true, if no apps are on sd card....however, its easy to partition so perhaps try it.
Another thing that comes to mind is, battery. Maybe your soft reboots are due to battery contacts dirty/old/not contacting and for a split second, your battery disconnects, then reconnects, making the phone think the battery was pulled and reinserted? Just throwing some ideas out there since you said you wipe properly and it acts the same on different roms.
You said you were using smelkus---which is an excellent recovery ( I use that also), so I dont think your recovery isn't doing its thing.

I'll try partitioning it and I'll monitor what happens. Unfortunately, since I cannot exactly replicate any of the occurrences, it will truly be hard to tell if the problem is fixed.

I've heard that also but personally, I have not had issues with my 32GB class 10 card....(well, not totally true because on Decks Reloaded, after a reboot, I "lose" my apps and widgets) ...but I have a workaround for that. Will have to go to a 16GB class 6 if I get tired of that issue.:silly:

That's a thought. I really don't want to buy yet another sd card, so I will try a fix before I do that. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Also, it is common for me to have the phone freeze and reboot while using ANY ICS rom, especially when using something that requires gps, like Google maps, Go Weather EX, or of course, GPS navigation. It is just me?

Dont think that's common...let me ask you, have you tried a different governor such as interactivex or smartass with deadline as a scheduler?
Are you undervolted at all? My phone hates to be undervolted by very much, but that's my phone, yours may react differently.

I usually run the ondemand governor, max 1.037GHz - min 128MHz with the Anthrax kernel. Is under clicking the same as undervolting? And if not, how would I do that?
Also, I have tried interactiveX governor, and not smartass.

Underclocking and undervolting are not the same.
Looking at your 1.037 overclock, perhaps your phone cannot handle that. You stated you have problems with the standard 998 max?
When I ran Anthrax with MikG, I had no issues with it and then again, knew nothing about undervolting until I went to ca1ne's underworld kernel which is undervolted in and of itself.
I wouldn't start messing with voltages until your other issues are resolved as I dont think with Anthrax, it's undervolted to begin with.

Yes, I did have problems even on the stock kernel from MikG. I reflashed, and I was loading my widgets, placing my apps, and it got stuck rebooting when I tried to replace the original talk.apk with the ICS version from the SOS+ rom, which I ALWAYS do (so I doubt that my actions are the true cause of the problem).
Undervolting does sound like a good suggestion. I will read up about it extensively before I attempt to do anything. (I did before I tried rooting and OC'ing because I don't have the money to replace my phone, which no longer has a warranty.

Just re-read your first post.
You started having issues about 3 weeks ago? Was that about the time you got your new sd card?

I had the card for about 2 months now. But I wouldn't doubt that it is causing the problem

I see.
I guess my suggestion would be....
Reflash smelkus.
Save anything you need to save on phone/sd card.
Partition sd card to ext -3, 1028 partition size, 0 swap (partitioning sd card will format your card, so save stuff)
Wipe all except sd card and reflash preferred rom of your choice.

In other words...start over. Gotcha. I'll try it in a few and get back to you.

So, I partitioned, and I am now staring at the progress bar as my 12GB of info transfers from my computer to my phone. This is why it took me so long to partition, because I did not do it while the card was empty. Anyway...back to waiting....
Also, I am trying ca1ne's v0.8 underworld kernel. I tried it before, and I found it to be a little choppy. I'll see what happens now. Who knows, I just might keep it. But, I have gotten used to the way my phone works with the anthrax rom, and I think that my phone got used to that too

Now you can take advantage of roms that utilize DarkTremors a2sd which will symbolicly link apps to the sd-ext you created thereby freeing up internal memory big time.! Not to be confused with the apps2sd that move part of the app to sd card....no need for that anymore.!
i.e...if you are using DarkTremors a2sd, do not move apps to sd card...follow? DT will do it automatically for you.

[Q] Eclipse Rom XT907 v5.0 build 2 Internal Memory

Not having any issues anyone else is having... love the ROM is running pretty smooth so far... but I noticed that my internal storage is almost all used up after flashing... says I have 0.92GB left out of a total of 4.48GB... this can't be correct... where did all my space go... is anyone else having the same result...

Are you using SafeStrap?

No safestrap... unlocked bootloader, root, cwm 6.0.3.2... I had previously installed SlimBean, PACman, Eclipse 1.2 neither of those had low internal storage space... before installing Eclipse I use toolkit utility 1.20 to start fresh for this install... did a clean install, wiped system/data, cache, davlik, rebooted recovery wiped again, installed rom, wiped cache, davlik and battery stats rebooted and let it settle for about 15min.
Think iam going to reflash and see what happens as soon as my phone charges...

Do you have any "0" folders? After I flashed like 4 different roms trying them all out, I found out I had several 0 folders inside one another. They were each filled up with the typical /sdcard folders and files, and taking up a ridiculous amount of room. Also, when I would delete these folders, they would re-appear after restarting the phone. Annoying as hell..
I believe wiping /system before installing new roms fixed it for me, but it could also have been using twrp instead of cwm.

I did another clean install but this time I formated system first and now I got 4.31GB freed up... Good to go now! Has been running pretty smooth so far and for some reason I got the best battery life I have had since getting the phone. Got like 30 hrs... most of that is idle time with about 3hrs on screen... Going to stick with this ROM as my dd for now, cause it seems to like my phone!!!

I also love this rom very much, for it's beter battery life. But unfortunately, I can't open the web page of Version 3 in my country. So, can you upload the lastest rom in other network disk? thanks a lot. Or sent to my mailbox, if It is convenient.

no WiFi on Eclipse ROM
Eclipse 5.0 v.3 ran great after first clean install. Then I reinstalled it with same inverted Gapps as first time but WiFi wont work, First time I had to reboot to get WiFi to stay on with weak signal, which is very important since its always weak, but all installs after that have been without WiFi. Any idea why? Just tried a different ROM but having worse difficulties now, lol.
ok, i see that I am on Europe WiFi region code and cant get off of it so I must have install something for the RAZR I somewhere I guess. Will try another fresh clean install without any extras of Inverted Apps. And the OSE ROM I just installed has an issue with the AOSP keyboard so it wont work OK, it seems that not only have I lost WiFi (unless Im in Europe) but also 4G, since in Europe I believe they are on a 3G platform on Verizon. IDK, but flashing a ROM over this is not going to help. Time to try the RSD Lite restoration. Ugh!
