So every time I load a 2.2 ROM, My phone starts to wig out and so random things when I am trying to type or anything else. I am rooted and have the ota 2.x radio installed. I keep having to go back to a 2.1 ROM with hydra kernel and everything is stable. I do a factory reset every time but still no go. any ideas?

a factory reset is not the same as a wipe from recovery menu afaik (if you mean a factory reset from bootloader (white screen))
boot into clockworkmod recovery and perform a wipe data/cache there, then flash it
some even experience problems with running the wipe from rom manager, so do it in the recovery menu instead
Thanks for the help. I tried what you said above and downloaded Sky raider 2.0 again. renamed it to update.zip then rebooted into clockwork. I did the wipe data/cache but sadly, I get the same results. I cant even get through the setup after the rom is installed. screen is unresponsive to my touch, but seems to have a mind of its own. I had best luck with CM 6 test 8 i downloaded from ROM manger, that ran for a day before starting to screw up.
This is what I did:
1) Made a backup
2) Wiped cache partition/davlik
3) FLashed CM nightly 111
4) Flashed wildmonks kernel 2.6.38.8
5) Reboot
Everything was fine, the phone booted up. Home was defaulted in landscape for some reason, so I adjusted the settings but everything remained in landscape, so I rebooted. The phone wouldn't reboot though. It stuck in bootloop. I tried to go into CWM to revert to a backup. I could get the main menu of CWM, but any action would just make it hang. So no CWM and am stuck in bootloop (after it originally booted fine!).
Not sure how best to proceed here, or what the problem is. Help! Thanks.
That's not enough info for this thread--we don't know your history
What version CWM? Don't use 3.+
Recommend Amon_Ra 2.2.1
Is this the first time you flashed this rom?
What did you flash it over?
Either way if problems persist:
Wipe system 3X and data/caches 5
If no luck--reformat card with sdformatter outside of phone and rewipe as mentioned above
Also, try a new download--did you check md5?
You can also try an earlier nightly or an RC release
Ken
Also, this is the wrong thread
You will be moved to the Q&A section
And try the CM7 thread in Android Development section

CWM is 3.+.
I was coming from an earlier nightly, 80-something.
I can't wipe or flash because I can't get CWM to do anything. I'll try reformatting card later. Thanks.
Not sure about your bootloop
I usually do the 3 finger:
Hold down pwr/vol-/trackball at same time and it takes me to the bootloader screen with the 3 androids then I can get into recovery. It may take awhile to boot into bootloader screen. So, don't release buttons too soon.
From there I wipe all including system 3 to 5 times and do a nandroid
Ken
Do card as I suggested
Probably too many nightlies in between not to do fresh flash and full wipe
Definetly go back to a pre 3. CWM
I had good luck with 2.5.1.4--can flash it from Rom Manager

Re-formatting SD card didn't accomplish anything. Think I'll try next to re-flash a recovery (Amon-RA) via fastboot and see what happens. Ack.
Good idea--I didn't know if you had fastboot setup--so didn't mention it

Didn't have fastboot set up, but once I could shake the family I threw myself in. I only used fastboot once before, a year and a half ago when I unlocked and rooted my phone.
Anyhow, re-flashing a recovery image did the trick. Then I was able to restore a nandroid backup and move on from there. Not sure why the universe went awry, but hey, live and learn. Always backup kids.
Glad you got it.
I've just tried upgrading to ICS and failed. Apparently I flashed the wrong kernel - should have flashed the CM7 one, but flashed the CM9.
Now my Defy is stuck on the Google logo and I don't know how to reach recovery mode. Pressing Power+voldown does nothing. Power+volup gives me the bootloader, which asks me to connect a usb cable, but I have no idea what to do after that.
I have two Nandroid backups: one stock (2.2) and another with CM7 (2.3.7). My Defy has a green lens.
Is there any way to restore my phone to one of those backups?
Thanks in advance
Do you still see the blue led for custom recovery?

Do not flash any sbf's. Reboot the phone, at the blue led press Vol- and when you get into boot menu, flash the correct kernel. If you flashed Defy build, flash CM7 (Froyo) kernel. If you flashed the Defy+ build, flash CM9 (Bingerbread) kernel.

I see the blue led, but it goes on to green regardless of what I do (power+voldown does nothing). I've tried to access recovery mode several times, but the phone doesn't respond. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Ok, apparently I wasn't pressing the button at the right time. Recovery mode is now working. However, I don't have the correct kernel in my SD card - only the wrong one.
My Nandroid backup seems not to be working too, apparently. I went into recovery and restored it, but boot still doesn't work. I wiped data/cache/dalvik cache and tried again, but it still didn't work. I'm at a loss here.
Should I try to flash some other sbf, since I can't find my phone's stock one?

I just tried installing the zip from the sdcard, but I got an error message: "Can't make /tmp/update_binary. Installation aborted". It seems that I can't install any zip now.
Is there any way out of that? I'd be more than happy if I could just flash my nandroid backup, even if that means being stuck without ICS for a bit more time.
I'm on ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8, if that helps.

Hi,
I faced a similar issue but it was since I flashed CM9 for Defy in my Defy+ with 2.3.6(stock) ! Nothing was working and I would get some boot errors! I rectified it by flashing full SBF and then rooting. Well if you want I can provide you with the SBF I have but it is for 2.3.6 and so you will loose downgradability. I have 4.5.1-134-DFP-1321 - retail-asia full Blur multilanguage with me. However, you can also give Walter's fixed SBF and Nandroid backup a try
Thanks, it turns out that flashing a sbf was a nice way out of this mess. I flashed a 2.2.2 which is almost identical to my stock rom (couldn't find that one).
If I root my phone now, can I still try to restore my nandroid backup? Or should I just skip that and try flashing ICS again?
My SD card has the 03-19 CM9 Nightly, gapps and both CM9 and CM7 signed kernels. Should that suffice? CM7 kernel is the right one for green lens defy, right?

If you are on a green lensed Defy, then yes - flash CM7 signed kernel and one of the Froyo bulds of Quarx or Epsylon3 - try them all if you wish and see which one you like the most.
Procedure is easy:
1. Full wipe
2. Flash CM7 kernel
3. Flash ROM
4. Flash gapps
5. Full Wipe
6. Reboot
When you decide to try a new ROM, there is no need to flash the kernel again, just wipe, flash the new ROM and gapps and then wipe again.

I've just rooted my phone again, followed the steps and installed CM9. It worked like a charm. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it runs, didn't expect that sort of quality from a Nightly. Awesome.

Sounds great Well since CM9 nightly is still a long way to go, you may want to dual boot CM7 and CM9. Install CM7 as primary and dual boot to CM9.

Hello,
I was running one of the CM9 nightlies and decided to try one of eyeballer's with OpenGL, and was able to make the switch without any problems, but after a while wanted to go to a non-openGL build and after flashing it my Nook won't boot past the loading screen.
I have a 1GB card with CMW which I'm able to boot to, I've tried wiping data, format boot and format system and reinstalling one of the builds that had previously worked, but still get stuck on Cyanoboot's loading screen. Even tried going back down to CM7 to see if that helped, but stuck on that loading screen as well.
What am I missing here? I've formatted boot, system, cache, data, everything, but the issue persists.
Any suggestions as to how I can make my Nook come back to live.

Well, for one thing, never format boot.
After trying cm7, you still get cyanoboot? It should have changed to the green cyanogenmod logo. If not then your flashes are not working.

After flashing CM7 I get the green boot screen, but my Nook also gets stuck on that loading screen.
When flashing CM9 I can press the ''N'' button and scroll the available boot methods, but when I choose one I get stuck on loading again.
So on both CMs I'm getting stucked on ''loading'', which started to happen on Monday after going from one of the openGL builds to the latest non-openGL build.

Ok, that means that CWM is putting the boot files on the boot partition since they change CM7 vs CM9.
Which version is your CWM on the SD?
You can't boot to anything, not even emmc recovery? Or you just can't boot to 'normal'? Do you even have emmc recovery installed? If you don't, get the first file on this post and flash it with your CWM card. You may be in a recovery bootloop, without a recovery.

Thank you leapinlar, seems like it was me having an old CWM on my boot card that wasn't helping me, installed the recovery zip and manage to boot into that from cyanoboot's loading screen and reflashed and managed to boot my Nook.
I'm still intrigue as to how this happened, do you think that when switching between openGL and non-openGL the boot partition got corrupted or something? I've been flashing many roms for almost a year and had never had this issue happen to me before.
Thanks a million for taking time to help me, you're a life saver.

It's possible your recovery somehow got corrupted during the flash. If that happens, it does not clear the recovery boot flag and it keeps trying to boot to recovery and it can't because it is corrupted. And it just bootloops forever.
Also, make sure your CWM bootable card is a recent version. If you have a newer nook and an old CWM and you try to clear data, it fails and you have a mess.
Hi, I am totally new at this but I been having a nook color for over a year now and been running CM7 on it for the longest time. Tonight I wanted to put CM9 on and for whatever I did now I just can't seem to get pass the Cyanoboot screen. Doesnt matter what I do it just gives me a blank screen and stays there. What do I gotta do to fix it or get rid of this cyanoboot and back to CWM so i can re flash everything. Any help would be great. Thanks

Try using my bootable CWM card in my tips thread in my signature. It works fine under ordinary circumstances, but I have been wanting someone to try it to see if it gets you out of that bootloop.
Edit: Just a question out of curiosity. When you finished flashing that new ROM with your CWM, were you able to reboot from CWM normally using the menu choice? Or was there some lockup or something where you had to reboot from CWM by hard powering off?

Just follow the directions in the thread to make the card. Then put it in the nook and try booting. If it boots to CWM, just use it to flash like DizzyDen said. And when you exit, use the menu to choose re-boot.
PS, the hard powering off caused the problem. CWM was not able to clear the recovery flag and you ended up in a recovery bootloop. Let me know if my card boots.

Thank YOU for testing my card and proving that gets you out of the recovery bootloop you were in.
You need to take one more step. You need to put a new CWM back on your internal memory so it is there ready for the next time you want to install a ROM. If you go back to my tips thread, there is a link to a new flashable CWM zip (version 5.5.0.4) that can be put on your internal memory. The link is in item B1. Just download that zip file, then boot one more time to my bootable CWM card and install that zip. You should not need my card anymore after that unless you get in a bootloop again.
I've had something similar going on. I believe my nook has been using the EMMC to boot. It was on CM7. I grabbed the latest open GL CM9 because I plan on giving this to my parents. I wanted them to be able to use the TWC TV/DVR app which only works on ICS. I am stuck in a loop where it keeps going to recovery and neither flashing cm9 again nor recovering to an old back up is working. Is the recovery SD card the suggested method for fixing this? I'm not stuck in a loop but I am stuck and having to go into recovery every boot.
For awhile, the N menu gave me both EMMC and SD card boot options. Now it only has EMMC ones.

You could try the new CWM SD. Just make sure when you finish using CWM to exit from that by using the 'reboot' choice in the menu. Do not just hard power off.

So slap the image on a clean SD card and boot up from it. After it's done and I hit reboot, what would I do to get back to CM7 or CM9? I haven't had to do something like this yet. Any time I've had issues, I've been lucky enough to go back to a saved clockwork backup and restore things back to how they should be

First thing I would try is just to exit the new CWM via the menu to see if it gets you out of the bootloop. Retry booting without the SD in. If it will still only boot to recovery, I would again boot to my CWM and flash the new recovery to emmc. Next I would try to restore your old nandroid backup with the new CWM. If none of that works, flash a new CM to emmc with the new CWM.
Hi folks!
I think I've messed up my workphone (Defy MB525) in some wierd way.
I had Cyanogen Mod 10 installed and should only do an update to another nightly, but by mistake I chose a cm7-file instead and flashed it. After that I got stuck in a bootloop, whatever ROM i tried to install or how I did :/
I then tried to reset the phone with an original SBF-file using RSD Lite 5.6. The sbf-file I am using is JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf (found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828639 first post)
My intention fo flash the sbf-file was to restore the phone to its original state and from that point re-rooting it and after that install cm10 again.
But now to my problem, I just cant to do anything with the phone. The screen is all black and I cannot do anything :/
RSD Lite recognizes the phone and I can flash sbf-files to it. It goes to 100% progress but when it is supposed to boot up after flashing, it takes just a second or so...and RSD Lite then says "Passed" on result leaving me with the black screen yet again.
Only time I can see something on the screen is during the flashing. The sceen says "SW update In progress...". Other then that, always black:crying:
Really really stuck here and dont know what to do. If anyone has an idea and the time to help me, I would be in ever grateful!
Best regards,

Download that, unrar it to a folder
Flash Firmware 1, let the phone boot up and done.
If you want ROOT, enter to Motorola Recovery (Volume up + power, when the Android appears press Volume up + Volume down) then factory reset and wipe data, reboot phone on BL mode (Volume down + power) and flash Firmware 2.

Thanks a ton for helping me in desperate times
I managed to get the phone working again using your files and this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Then I got the problem with 128mb internal memory, but solved it.
Now I have cm9 up and running with no issues. I tried Epsylons CM10 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702 but it lagged and were really really slow for some reaseon :/
Epsylon builds are outdated, you should try Quarx CM10 or CM10.1

Thanks, had some issues installing Quarx CM10. Never managed to get it up and running, might've been a kernel issue or something. The led just turns RED :/
On my Google Nexus CM10 was more smooth then 10.1, so I figured I'd better try CM10 on the defy due to weaker hardware. But I might have wrong there since I havent tried.
Did you wipe cache?

Make sure that you are using latest Quarx build (http://quarx2k.ru/cm10.1-nightly-defy+/2.6.32/cm-10.1-20130415-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip)
What OS are you using right now? no problem mate
That is the file I've tried but for some reason I just cant get passed the red motorola-logo. the phone gets stuck in a bootloop like this; Red Motorola-Logo, LED turns green...Red Motorola-logo...and then it loops like that. Dont know what to do :/
I use Win 7 x64.

I think I give up. Dont understand what I am doing wrong. Have rooted and installed custom roms on htc hero, htc sensation xe, htc wildfire, galaxy nexus..but this phone. Neever had even close to the issues I'm having with this one :/
I followd your steps on installing cm10. But when both the rom and gapps are installed and I reboot it reboot the following happends; red motorola-log, blue led - red led. And bootloop. Nothing else :/
Read somewhere that I have to install a kernel separately, is that true?

Nope, the kernel is on the .zip
Are you sure that you wiped data and cache?

It is advised to wipe cache and Dalvic cache after installing zip files.
Moreover, when I installed full Gapps I got system partition full, so instead I installed minimal Gapps:

I simply dont know if I'm doing something wrong (think not) or if my phone is messed up. But I get the same result after following your guides several times. I cant get passed the motorola-logo after flashing cm10. The Led turns red (indicating somethings wrong?) and then reboots again. Keeps going adn going :/
