Start Fresh, Help!

I would like to clear everything in clockwork and start over, under advanced settings which sections do I format to do this? If anyone can list the exact steps to start clean it would be greatly appreciated!

/System, /Data, /Cache. BEWARE: Doing this will cause the Nook to boot to A N D R O I D _ if you dont flash anything after doing it.

Good question! I'm guessing he means it will continuously boot into CWR, but I thought that was a given.....

I am a noob and I want to do the same thing that is restore the nook back to original, so I can start over. I have cleared the system and file, but not yet the cache. Do I have to have an SD card mounted to restore? If so, what files should be on the card (including zipped or unzipped)?
Background. I successfully rooted my nook color. But in trying to download a purchased app from B&N, they pushed an update to a higher version (I think I was using 1.0.1) which bricked the nook. I've been trying to restore ever since. As of now, when I boot, I can get to the ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 and navigate through the menus, but when trying to reboot, I can only get to the main ClockworkMod Recovery menu. So far I have tried to reformat the SD card and redownload files to restart, but no luck so far.
Thanks for any help.

If I format those sections will the SD card be wiped? I want to download the latest version from rom manager and start fresh, so I'm wondering will I need to connect to a computer after wiping.

ROM Manager only works when CM7 is installed on the eMMC. If you are running CM7 off an SD card you cannot use it to update ROMS.

being a noob, I'm not sure of the proper etiquitte for the forum. I don't want to appear to hijack the thread. I do need help. What is the right way to request getting back to working?

[Q] error on formating

hey i got an error when formating cache system and data any advice ?

Are you using CWM from uSD or internal? Latest version of CWM?

A strong suggestion for askers, pls provide basic info of your system when asking a question.
The OP's question above is more like "it doesn't work, what next?", that's it, no info, nothing.

If you are using a version of CWR older than 3.2.0.1, update it & the errors will go away.

How long have you had your nook color? My guess with the limited information provided is that you have a newer nook with the newer partitions... you will probably have to find the repartition thread and adjust the partitions.

[Q] HTC HD2 from android 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 upgrade

Hi there,
I have the NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.1a_NAND_(Android-2.3.6) on my HTC HD2 and I downloaded the TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.8-MAGLDR ROM so I installed it following a video tutorial but there was a slight problem, everything went well up until the moment when the phone boot up which it stayed on the android figure for ever, i have waited maybe 20+ minutes for it to load/boot but there was nothing. I re-flash twice but still nothing was happening, it kept locking at the boot up android figure screen. Also took out the battery twice but still nothing, Do you have any ideas why or any other suggestions? Please if you could help that would be most appreciated.
By the way: this was a clean wipe/flash installation thru Clockworks mod
Thanks
Chris

[Q] A2SD problems.

Here is a story about me and my phone:
I'm using this rom for about 2-3 months and it's great!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817793
But when I was updating some apps with the Play Store I got error 492.
Googled it and I found a thread on XDA and it said that I had to clear some caches.
So I did that and a Dalvik Cache wipe and I fixed permissions.
But it ended in an endless boot. So wiped everything and I did as an extra a Task 29. I flashed my rom installed INT2EXT+. The first boot after I flashed INT2EXT+ something weird happened: The WiFi just didn't turn on. I just turned it on but the slider bounced back after 5 seconds. Reflashed still that problem. So here comes the question how can I fix it?

Wi-Fi issues are sometimes connected to too small system partition. Perhaps caused by bad blocks. Make sure your system partition is bigger than needed. I usually add 10/15 mb above what the rom requires

Did what you said but when I let it start up I just see just a FC of Settings that's it. :crying::crying:
I rebooted it several times en every time it boots up I see ''Android is Upgrading''.

did you do a 'wipe data' because although the partitioning will clear out all teh nand, there may be stuff on the sd-ext/fat that are left over. a wipe data / factory reset clears those out too.

Yes, it's called A2SD you will have to flash something trough CWM and partition sd card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124

But let's get on topic again what can I do to make A2SD work back again?

Please Please help me!!!! I'm turning pretty desparate by now!

just saying but:
Funnydwarf said:
That's because int2ex need its own script for wiping dalvik, using the one provided with CWM will cause bootloops: both of you can find the right one on the first post of croniccorey's thread. Just search for "Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool" then make it run from install zip from sdcard entry.

If you have int2ex installed then download and run that zip because if you use normal CWM wipe-cache-dalvik, you'll get a bootloop. this may help you?

[Q] CROMi 4.2.1 Install Issues

Got a question here on installing CROMi 4.2.1, love the ROM when I get it working, my problem is, whenever a new version is out and I try to install I run into all kinds of issues. I'll try to outline the exact problems I'm having here. It goes something like this, I will download new ROM, throw it onto SD card, then boot into recovery and attempt to install. Now if I try to install without clearing any caches/data etc. it will say it installs, but then it won't boot into the ROM at all, just sticks at ASUS screen. So I go through and clear everything, internal, system, dalvik cache etc. Then I try to install again, usually it will fail at least 5-6 times, sometimes it just won't do it at all, so I'll reboot, go into recovery again and try it, still no go. Then I'll use a different SD card, still won't work right, then I'll clear everything again and go for another try and after 3 or 4 or more failed times it will finally install and boot. So I'm curious if there's just something obvious and dumb that I'm missing here, or if it's just a normal issue with this and something that will always be there? It just doesn't make sense to me that it would fail so many times and just work for no apparent reason? Any pointers would be much appreciated!

I assume your using twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2 as your installing CROMi for 4.2.1 and on the 4.2.1 bootloader (10.6.1.8)?
If so not sure this is the issue but I have had & read of other's having issues with some micro sd cards using twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2
You could try in twrp doing a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, system, internal storage) then in twrp file manager copy the CROMi rom zip from your micro sd to your internal storage and install the rom from there and see if that works without issue.

Yep those are the versions I'm working with! Didn't realize there were sd card issues, thanks for the info. One last question, where should I copy the ROM to on the internal storage? Don't want to accidentally copy to a place that's gonna get wiped during install.

Sounds like you have something corrupted.
I'd do a full wipe of internal storage (making sure you have all your backups on external storage), flash the rom and see if that helps.
Also if your ext card is causing issues try booting without it in after the first flash.....

The famous sbdags himself responds! Just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you that your ROM is incredible, puts the Transformer on par with, or better than the iPad. Installed RC2 this morning and it is running great! Thanks for all the great work. When I was having those install issues I would do a full wipe of internal, system, and all caches, but installs would still fail extremely often. The strange thing is, that after a few wipes, and numerous times trying to install, it would finally work and boot and everything would work fine. I'm thinking it has something to do with how the SD card interacts with the recovery system but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. All that I know is that I downloaded on my tab this morning, and ran the install from the internal storage, and bam, flawless install the first time around. So I'm going to give some kudos to pjc21 because I think it was just an issue with the SD card interfacing with recovery.
