[Q] Flaky Booting (as in, almost never :P)

okai, so, heres the long and short of it. WP7 on NAND, Hspl3'd, 2.15 radio and a range of SD Cards, the one I'm using currently is a 16gb Kingston Class 4 but the problem also appears on the standard HTC card that came with the phone and a 4gb Sandisk Class 4 (This leading me to believe it isn't and SD problem).
The phone flashes all correctly and boots back into MAGLDR, i then reset MAGLDR (just in case, ya know) and go to boot WP7.
Heres where my confusion kicks in. Sometimes, it boots first time, it goes through booting fine. other times, i get 5 seconds into the DFT logo bootscreen and it crashes, re-booting the phone. And most of all, i get 1 2 3 4 5 6 GO GO GO! and it crashes and re-boots the phone *sigh*
this persists over multiple OS and MAGLDR 1.12 flashes and seems to all be dependent on time. If the phone crashes once (fails to boot) it wont boot again at all for the next 10-30 minutes, then, if sufficient time is passed, it will boot without issue. And yeah, i don't think its heat related, the phone stays fairly cool throughout the process (I've had my phone get hotter on an underclocked android build )
Any ideas? i apologise if this has been addressed elsewhere, but ive kept my ear to the ground in this forum for a few days and have done a few searches, as far as i know, this is a new and confusing issue :L thanks in advance.

Hey mate... Weird case... Did you tried to Wipe the phone to Factory settings? (I mean uninstall hspl,android magdlr e.tc???) Try it and post here with your results... Just make an installation of the Winmo 6.5 only!

Give it a shot now, just to be sure, flashing a standard Winmo rom wipes my HSPL don't it?

have you tried formatting the sd card with panasonic sd formatter...if not i think its worth a shot...make sure to set in options to full (erase on)...hope that helps

No.. you can still have the HSPL and stuff! Somewhere here i saw a topic about Uninstalling all these together!
In addition try the comment above mine and post your results!
If it's not the problem then try Mgdlr 1.11 with Android build... Most probably something went wrong with the installation!

I use the sd formatter from SDcard.org, but yeah, full erase has been a button ive pushed somewhere along the line, alas to no avail

The problem is WP7 specific, I've never really had much trouble with Android builds on Nand

Wp7 boot problems are related to your SD card then! Wp7 is known to have these problems on several SD cards... I use Chinese cards (not branded) and are working just fine... i have 8gb class 4 and 16gb class 6.. LOL!

Its what i thought at first, but seriously, 3 different brands of card all crapping out? Kingston and sandisk cards work for others on top of that, but i think now you guys have given me enough to get on with, i edit OP if i ever get it working :L thanks a bunch for the advice

[Q] Nook Color Boot Loop Even with CWM bootable SD

Hi,
I've searched the forums but haven't found a solution to my problem. I rooted my Nook Color (1.1.0) using auto-nooter 3.0. Everything worked fine, then I tried to flash to CM7 using CWM. When I subsequently rebooted, the Nook goes into a boot loop where it never gets past the "Touch the Future of...." display before it reboots.
I've can't get into ADB because the unit reboots before I can get access. Also tried booting into CWM (3.0.0.5 and 3.0.1) on an SD Card. When I do this, it shows the "loading..." display for a few seconds then reverts to the boot cycle. Also tried nooter 0.2 but same result.
Tried doing 8 successive boot cycles by trying to turn it off before it reboots, but no luck.
I've noticed that others have had boot issues also, but it seems that everyone else has been able to eventually boot back into CWM via SD card.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would definitely appreciate the help.
Thanks.

I experienced this exact problem and never did get it working. I was running Nookie Froyo on SD with overclock when it suddenly started rebooting. Doesn't matter if the card is in or out, it gets to the point you describe and reboots. All of the "restore to stock' tricks failed because it keeps rebooting, even when booting into CWM from SD. I ended up replacing it with another new NC and put the the first one in storage hoping I someday figure out the problem. I've never found anyone else with quite this problem. I'll be anxiously watching this thread!

Not sure whether I should start to panic because you never got it working, or feel relieved because I am not the only one to experience this issue

You can add another person who is having this problem.
Yesterday I asked Rom manager to boot into recovery and that was all she wrote.
The nook gets through "Touch the future of reading," then the screen flashes for a fraction of a second before repeating the process again.
Holding 'n' and power while booting also has no affect; and it seems to ignore whatever is in the SD card slot.

Got it working!
Not exactly how this worked but here is what I did.
First off I used another SD Card Reader Although the idea of using another card reader doesn't seem to make sense; I had seen it on another forum.
I also Used a new uSD card
Used Win32DiskImage to burn the image to the uSD card (had been using DD on a linux box)
The images used was the Clockwork Recovery image (2GB,) look around and you should be able to find it.
I also copied the removeclockwork.zip
This should be available with a google search as well
From there it just worked like it was supposed to. The nook booted off the micro SD card and I used the removecwr.zip
Hope this helps

[Q] Loading...

Hello. I am running a rooted Color Nook - rooted from B&N 1.1. I got the nook where I want it so I have been avoiding the 1.2 push by running it with wireless turned off. I am not happy!
I've been trying to get the CM7 Android on a microSD strategy going but have run into a snag.
HERE's WHAT I'VE DONE (not shouting, just using caps as section headers):
Bought a 4GB card.
Using WinImage I chose "Restore Virtual Hard Disc image on physical drive..." and putting "generic-sdcard.img" on the card.
I copied over the lasted stable CM7 onto the card (I did NOT unzip it).
Stuck it in my Cnook and turned it on.
WHAT I GET:
Cnook screen just says "Loading..." and never does anything. I even left it for an hour or so. Just "Loading..."
HELP! I have Clockwork Restore on it but, I can't seem to get that to boot since the rooting (except once, by accident!).
Does anybody know what's going on? If i pull the card out, the Cnook boots as normal into my root and all is fine so I guess I haven't done damage to it.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Try setting up the sd card using win image writer. You can reformat it first in your nook.

Nook Color v1.2 (Blue Dot on box)
SanDisk 8GB Class 4 microSD card
Latest nightly N169
I used the following thread and a video on youtube:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
-The only place I swayed was using the size-specific SD CM7 installer.
So without further ado, the problem at hand:
"The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." - "Force Close"
The preceding message comes up constantly. At first startup and then everytime I try to download any app at all. I've been reading through tons of threads, but am completely unsure of which to go forward with for troubleshooting, as mentioned earlier, it's my first day
Please if you are able to help, I would truly appreciate a very basic and/or detailed explanation if possible.
Thank you in advance.

That was written a long time ago. Go here and follow the instructions and make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1): http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/

Thank you for the reply. Obviously as I stated I'm new, so it being written a long time ago wouldn't be of known knowledge to me.
The process on the page is essentially identical to the process I followed without the overclocking, because I haven't done that yet. Can you point out where in the site you listed I would need to read to remove the errors I am having?

I would suggest a clean install...and follow verygreen's steps. I don't believe you even have to partition the 4th partition with his steps, somehow it's there after you install CM7 and gapps. I recommend trying CM-7.1.0-RC1-encore. I too, used an 8GB card and had about 5GB left to use on the 4th partition.
If you are using a previously used mSD card (like...one you already put an image on for backup purposes), then you should wipe it clean with Panasonic SD Formatter v.2.0 and wipe the card.

@OP, most of the time when you see "FC" error, it's most likely the uSD as a culprit.
In your case, the Sandisk, hmmm. Where did you get it? ebay?
For now, my suggestion is completely reformat the card (using MiniTools Partition Wizard) then reinstall CM7 nightly build follow verygreen's instructions.
@patruns, what you try to suggest him? He has FC running from uSD, m8. CwM has nothing to do in this case.

The uSD card was purchased from amazon.
Do I have to just format the uSD and then start over or do I have to do anything with CWM and/or the NC itself before moving forward??

I trust amazon.
If you are running CM7 off uSD using verygreen's, I suggest you do a complete reformat the uSD and start over again.

Thank you for the help thus far guys!!!!

Pretty sure I got it going now! Thanks again everyone.
For future reference, the video I had watched in conjunction with verygreen's instructions, had instructed me to do gapps and cm7 at once in a slightly different manner.
I did gapps after finishing with cm7 and it now works beautifully!!!

Thanks for responce, the wife does not want me to do all that to her beloved NK, she has it setup the way she wants and does not want me to try and fix it. She saw what a process it was for me at 1st to go thru with my TF101 so she has lil faith in me after 30 yrs---sheesh. Besides, for her use the 1.3 update would not impact her performance as she just reads and checks email...lol
Well, back to the Transformer and trying diff mods---luv learning this stuff and the constant improvements you guys do around here. 1.7 prime runnin like a dream--woohoo

[Q] Cannot boot into anything, including CWR

Well, after a few weeks of reading posts, even opening up the hardware and taking the nook apart, here I am asking a question. I figure I would go to the source rather than those other place I was reading and tryign to get info from (mot os those places link here anyway). I know that everyone says that the nook is "unbrickable;" while I want to believe it, I may be in a place where it may be true.
I do want to add a thanks as well, since the NC "tablet" has been very handy, and my wife and I have really enjoyed it. Wouldn't have happened without you all. I wish I had more time to participate in developing, but working 80+ hours/week in a hospital limits my free time, as you can imagine.
I rooted the NC and installed Cyanogenmod 7 back in July 2011. It was a 1.1 model (if I recall correctly). I installed the mod to EMMC, along with CWM. Things ran fine for 6 months. Literally no issues. Then, one night the battery was dead, so I plugged it into the computer USB to charge while the machine was off. Didn't touch it at all. When I went to turn it on again, I was stuck in a bootloop. It would go to the cyanogenmod screen and say "Loading" then would start over again. So, I naturally made a bootable SD card, and tried going into CWR to fix things. However, the SD card had the bootloop as well. It would get to the two skulls and "Loading", flash blank, then start over again.
That went on for a while. I couldn't boot into anything, not into recovery, alternate images, literally nothing. So, I tried different images --- nothing. Finally, I did the power+n and got into the only screen that wouldn't keep resetting. It has blue text and says "Entering boot menu". The menu says "Encore U-boot Menu by j4mmr. 1.2 port+ extras by fattire." From this screen, I can navigate and change the boot options. However, once again, whatever I try does not actually boot, regardless of what I set it to. The only thing that I got from getting here was no more boot loops. After getting it to this point, I can try loading anything, and it will start, then the screen goes black/blank, and nothing happens. Left it on for hours to test.
Since that point, I have switched cards (SanDisk 2 GB class 4, Patriot 8 GB and a generic 8 GB microSD). I know that cards work correctly because I got a hold of a second nook, and they work fine on it. Below are a list of all the images I have tried to run off the SD. Again, nothing will boot, not even clockwork recovery/clockworkmod.
128 mb rootpack (IOMonster)
clockwork 3.0.2.8
clockwork 3.2.0.1 eyeballer
Nooter
Mirage_CM7_ICS_CM9_DualbootSD (this card works great on the working NC)
TWRP 2.0 RC0
Generic SD
Clockwork 0.7 -> starts boot loops again
I also tried ADB, connecting to the computer and using putty over SSH. Didn't work. 8 interrupted boots with 9th holding power+n. Nope. I even took the nook apart and disconnected the battery. Still no go.
If I recall, I think I had CWM 3.0.0.5 installed to the card and to the emmc.
If anyone has any other ideas, I could really use the help. I consider myself pretty computer literate (build my machines, coded in my spare time in the past, hacked a lot of my electronics). I have read many guides/sites and even tried the outdated stuff. Once again, I cannot get into clockwork recovery, so any guide that says to do that as the first step will not work. I also cannot boot off of the SD on cards that I know function.
Would using an older version of CWM (prior to 3.0.0.5) work? I think I remember reading a bunch of stuff about problems people were having with that version. The thing is, I wasn't installing or flashing anything new. I wish I was, because then I would know what was happening when everything got screwed up.
Thanks a bunch in advance for your guy's (gals?) time. This has been really painful.

Wow, that must be frustrating. First make sure you didn't change the boot settings to something other than the SD card when you were in the boot menu. As long as the Nook is powering on and doing something you can probably save it from being a brick.
I would start with a newer version of ClockWork Mod Recovery here: http://mrm3.net/blog/2011/03/11/nook-color-updated-clockwork-recovery-bootable-sd/
There is a contradiction in the file names but the actual version should be 3.2.0.8. If that doesn't work then you may want to go back to an older version. In that case I would still load a newer version's zip file onto that card, so that if you do get the older version to boot you can use it to flash the newer version.
Before going back to older CWM versions though give this a try if the new CWM above doesn't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958748
JP

Yeah, it has been frustrating, especially not knowing what happened in the first place. I actually did try the version from that first link (where I put 3.0.2.8). Again, the big issue I am having is that I cannot even get into the CWM. If I could, I could fix it. I also saw and read through that xda thread you kinked to (open right now in my browser), but the problem remains that I cannot even get to the point where I can flash something.
Thanks at least for responding. I'll try a few more things and see if it works, but I am running out of ideas.

In theory creating a bootable CWM card will get you into recovery even though you can't access the Recovery on the internal. Once you reach Recovery from the SD card you can flash whatever you need. It is just a matter of making a bootable recovery card that boots far enough to get you there.

In theory, yes, but as I said in my first post, I tried all the bootable cards without any luck. When I try to set the SD card as primary boot from that one screen from fattire, it locks and never restarts.

This happened to me a couple of times on CM7. Don't know why, but I believe I used the last method listed to repair it. There was an older version of CWM that would cause this sometimes. When you get it going again, you must update CMW to the new one.

How did you get it to boot into CWM in the first place in order to flash? That is my current problem. Any method of fixing relies on the ability to boot into CWM from the SD card, which (for whatever reason) isn't working at the moment.
Well, tried to use the native Nook u-boot. Get the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen, then black, just like with any of the other cards. On the good nook, it boots into a linux file and runs the recovery script, so it is not the card reader or the SD card.

Well, still doesn't work. I guess I officially bricked it without even knowing what happened. Bummer.

You said you tried eyeballers 3.2.0.1 CWM. Did you mean the 1GB image file he posted on his thread? And how did you burn the image to the card? You should be using win32diskimager running in administrator mode on Windows. And it is best to use a cheap card reader rather than any card reader built into your PC. The nook can be really finicky about how the card is written.

Yes, I tried that image from his thread. I always use win32diskimager and use a card reader. I have working cards (I have a second NC that runs fine); there is just something wrong with the boot process, and I cannot get into CWR to fix it. It starts, but then never makes it in or reboots. Only time I can keep it from rebooting is by holding "n" and going into the boot option menu.

It goes to the boot menu when you hold n with eyeballers image burned to SD? What happens when you select SD and normal? Just a hang? With 'loading' showing?
Edit: I just thought of another reason that could be causing this. There is a flag set in /rom that tells the system to try to boot into recovery. It tries no matter what you tell it to do in the boot menu. ROM Manager uses that flag to boot to recovery when you tell it to. Then after you successfully get into recovery and exit it by telling CWM to reboot, CWM clears that flag. If your recovery is borked up, you never get that flag cleared and it's an endless loop.
There are two solutions I can think of. First, use racks dual boot SD that you already have and go into the boot menu with that. Tell it to go to SD and recovery. Hopefully his recovery will load. Then immediately exit by the menu. That should clear the flag. If that fixes it and it boots to CM7, go to ROM Manager and flash a new CWM to emmc.
If that does not fix it search xda for 'fix recovery'. There is a nook thread telling how to fix the recovery on emmc.
Edit2: I just thought of a third way to try to get it to boot. Take eyeballers 3.2.0.1 CWM SD and put it in your PC. There should be two files there named uImage and uRamdisk. Make a copy of them on the SD and rename the copies to uRecImg and uRecRam. Then put back in nook and reboot to see what you get.

Hmm. Thanks. I'll definitely give it a shot (got nothing to lose at this point). I'll get back and let you know if it worked or not.

Hello? Feedback?
Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk

Ha, I tried the quick reply function, and it didn't work. Here is what I wrote yesterday (verbatim, since I still had the window open):
"Well, so far no luck. Here is what I have tried, and the new information that I learned.
Used dual boot SD that I know works and booted into bootloader menu. Tried all different options on the SD card. What happens is that it thinks for a bit, then turns the screen black, but the boot screen never comes up (i.e. the Cyanogenmod logo that usually starts before things boot). So there must be some problem there.
If I hold down power, it will restart. Again, the screen turns black after the loading screen is on for a while (happens no matter which image I burned to the card).
I still need to try the other method (eyeballer one). I don't think the EMMC reset will work with my particular issue, as I had read that thread earlier."

If the problem is the recovery flag, the mods to the eyeballer CWM SD should work. If it does not work, it may be something else. If it does work you can flash a new CWM to emmc using another eyeballer zip. Get it here:

You would want the first choice.

Cool. Will give it a try tonight and report back. Just have to find my spare SD card.

So, tried with the eyeballer, and I couldn't get it to work. One thing I did notice, though (actually by chance) is that even though the screen is black, the nook is on. I saw this because it all of the sudden started flashing the low battery screen and then turned off.
Anyhow, still looks like I am in the same position. The EMMC fix doesn't work for me because I cannot even boot of an SD card.
EDIT: Actually, I just reread your post. I didn't do it right. I am going to try again and report back.
EIDT 2: Nope, didn't work. Do I need to hold all the buttons down while booting or do something else special?

I'm not sure what to tell you to do next. I guess I am going to send you to a post that tells pretty plainly how to do the 8 failed boots. I know you tried that, but timing is very critical with that procedure. Worth a try to me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25405429

How do you do the 8 failed boot deal with the cyanogenmod screen running. I am not sure about the timing of things. Also, which buttons? I have seen people do it with just the power button. Other places say with the power+n+vol up.
