[Q] CM7 Nightlies Not Flashing

There are a few users having problems flashing the recent CM7 nightlies. Here is my scenario.
I'm running CM7.0.2 from EMMC. Last night I tried to flash N63. Downloaded the zip from here...http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=encore (where I always get them from). Rebooted to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik and installed the zip. Clicked reboot & got stuck at "ANDROID_". I did a hard reboot (holding down power). Booted back to recovery and did a full wipe (system, data, cache, and dalvik)...Installed the zip again, rebooted and same results. I tried re-downloading the mirror and I've tried installing it with my recovery sd. Everything yields the same results......"ANDROID_".
I can reboot to recovery, and load my nandroids (7.0.0, 7.0.2, Nookiecomb, and Phiremod), however I cannot get one of the new nightlies to flash. I have seen other people are having similar issues so I've started this thread in the hopes of resolving this. I have been working on this problem and searching XDA / Google and still no luck.

Ok, not a very experienced dev or anything that here. And I have not experienced this problem myself, but a few ideas to throw out:
- Are you trying to install an OC kernel after nightly, or not b4 getting stuck?
- Maybe restore 7.0.x reboot, make sure it comes back. Back into recovery, flash nightly with just a cache wipe, see if it comes up.

No OC kernel....Just trying to get the nightly to run before worrying about that. I can nanadroid back to any of my former roms with no problem. I'm going to try just doing a ONLY a cache wipe and load it again......just as soon as I run out of patience with my black "ANDROID_" screen of frustration, I'm currently looking at for the last 7 minutes.

Yeah........It's a no go. Nand back to 7.0.2, reboot to recovery, wipe cache only, instal zip for Nightly 63......."ANDROID_".....DAMMIT!!!!
I'm back to 7.0.2 again until someone has something else I can try.

Are you using cwm recovery 3.0.2.8?
Could be an issue if not.

Good call!!! I flashed Clockwork 3.0.2.8 and all is good. Flashed nightly 63 with no problems. Thanks!

Just another quick note.....To anyone having problems overclocking the new nightly builds. You need to use the ext. 4 overclock kernel, which can be downloaded here......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451&page=239

Is there a way to update CWM without burning a new image to SD card? I currently have 3.0.1.0 as well and I don't want to wipe my rom or SD card just to update to 3.0.2.8 but I can't seem to find any other way to do that.
Sorry but this is my first Andriod device so bit of a noob here.

I was going to say ROM Manager, but forgot it doesn't have 3.0.2.8 for Nook.
Here is the recovery zip file, flash from CWR. http://db.tt/gDlb5mw
- download to your SD card for Nook, boot into CWR, choose install zip from SD/choose zip, flash, reboot recovery

[Q] Noob help please-Gapps issue/no Androit Marketplace

I have gone through the procedures to install cm7 and gapps. I get a successfull response saying cm7 was installed. I get a successful response saying gapps was installed. After that it's time to reboot my nook. I remove the sd card and reboot. Then I get an error: "install failed...please power off and back on to try again"
So I can boot up cm7 but there are no google apps. Nothing...not even a marketplace icon. I've reinstalled the sd items about 7 times with the same results. I have even reflashed my SD card with the both zip files and i get the same result.
Any help will be appreciated.

which gapps are you using? Some gapps aren't made for the Nook Color. I suggest using this link:

I downloaded that file then dragged and dropped it to my sd card. I put it in my nook and did format system, format data, format cache, then install cm7 from sd card, then installed gapps from sd card. Now the first few times I tried this earlier in the day, the gapps install took a few minutes at least. Now it takes less than 10 seconds which doesn't seem right. Anyhow, after the install I removed the sd card and did the wipe data/factory reset, and then rebooted. I got the same error this time too. "Install failed, please power off and back on to try again".
Is there another way to install gapps from an sd card so I can set up my google account and download stuff from the marketplace?

It includes instructions for GAPS installation. Just make sure you do the steps in order and it should work fine...

Don't do the wipe factory reset after installing. Your wiping what you just installed. Just reboot after. And gaps should only take a few seconds to install.

I was having the same issue as you this morning. I reflashed using this ROM: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.2-encore-signed.zip
For some reason there is an issue with 7.0.3 and android market.

I am having the same problems, so should I install 7.1.0 rc and then try gapps? I have 7.0.3 installed now

I was running 4.1 Jellybean and I decided to flash this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935582
I went into recovery, did a factory wipe, and ran the installer for the custom rom from an external SD card. Install went smooth as butter. Rebooted and now it's stuck at the Acer logo. I can still go into recovery. I have the CPUID.

You need to more than a factory wipe.
Depending on your recovery, wipe;
1. Data/factory reset
2. Cache
3. Dalvik cache
Also, I like to Format
1. System
2. Flexrom
Then try installing the rom again.
Also, which Recovery program are you using. Make sure the Recovery program is compatible with the Aroma Installer. Civato should state this in his ROM thread.

I did all 5 wipes and then tried installing the rom again but still stuck at acer boot screen. I was using Thor 1.7.3 (bootloader version 3.0.1). It is supposed to be compatible with Aroma installer but this user who is using the same recovery/bootloader has the same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35450766&postcount=492
So I tried to update my recovery program to "TWRP 2.1.3-ICS (touch recovery)". According to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622425, if I already am on the ICS unlocked bootloader, I just put it on my tablet and install with CWM. So I put the zip file on my sd card and applied update from zip file in CWM. I rebooted and now I'm stuck on the acer logo for both the recovery and android. I have really bad luck.

[Q] NC: Newbie Information Overload - Needs Direction

Hello,
I used to have a NC successfully running CM7 until it crashed a few weeks ago.
After the crash, in my enthusiasm to fix it, I MUCKED IT UP royally. It tried to boot showing the CWM logo for a moment, then went to black screen.
I tried following the forums to fix the issue, but I only made it worse. Long story short, I may have deleted all my partitions, including partition 3; but, with Leapinlar's help (thanks so much to you for your patience) I was able to flash partitions 1,4,5,6,7,8. Then partition2 with a specially written zip file (again, thanks Leapinlar). At this point, my NC boots directly to CWM 5.5.0.4 on the emmc.
I am ready to try and rebuild, but I am on information overload. I want to know:
1. Which set of files (boot, cwm, cm10 and gapps) works together for a relatively seamless install?
2. Can these files be loaded on a blank NC. Meaning, do I need to get it back up to factory settings before I can modify it again?
3. Should I donate it to one of you to use as a tester and just buy a Google 10 or ASUS Infinity?
I plan on deleting all files except the latest ones I got from Leapinlar's post. I am not asking to reinvent the wheel at this post, just that I be directed to where the best option rests.
Thanks for you help,
Gilligan's sister - Ms. Y

OK, I recommend the 04/21 version of CM10 which you can get here. And for gapps, you need the 20121011 version here. And for emmc CWM, I recommend the 5.5.0.4 version you can get here. Just flash all of these with the 5.5.0.4 you currently have on emmc. Do all three before you reboot. No need to do any wiping or anything else. Hopefully our partition repairs did everything right and it boots to the new CM10.
As far as getting another device, I would wait until you see how you like this repaired one. If it does not work or you are not happy with it, then consider another device. As far as another device, I like the new Nook HD+, but I don't know how it compares with the others you mentioned.

Does flashing order matter?
CM10 -> GApps -> 5.5.0.4

Did you try holding the n button during the first time the cyanoboot logo showed? That should bring up the boot menu. Then select emmc recovery and see if CWM comes up. If it does try doing a "wipe data/factory reset". The reboot and see what you get. If it still hangs, boot back to CWM and reflash CM10 and boot again.

Try redownloading the CM10 zip and reflashing. Maybe even the 4/14 version.

There still may be something wrong with your emmc partitions. Why don't you try an NC SD install per my thread linked in my signature.

thanks in advence.

Download stock rom and flash it with odin.
Use google.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

or you can just download another rom (I actually use SlimRom 4.3. It's really nice BTW)
download the rom, put it on external sd card. Go to recovery and
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache
3) go to mount then format system
4) go to Advanced then format dalvik cache
5) go to install then external sd card and browse to your rom
6) Enjoy

I had issues with updating from CM10.2 to CM11 however I never got to the stage it got stuck in a bootloop although this could be due to new permissions that CM11 require. Ensure you have the latest ClockworkMod installed as that should install it correctly. I also suggest doing a wipe after installation as well as using PA Gapps if you want to used any system google apps.
