I have a very interesting problem. I was running liberty 0.5 which was a great rom, but i liked the battery life of ll gingeraid 4.4 so I booted into recovery and wiped data and everything and rebooted. At first ll gingeraid seemed to be working but every time i try to install an app the phone reboots, my home button does'nt work and other various problems. So i was going to just boot into recovery and try to reinstall it. I cant get into any form of recovery boot, i cant install bootsrapper and i get an exclamation mark every time i try to boot into recovery. Any ideas?
Sbf seems like the easiest solution (especially the Linux method). Then you can rebuild at least.

So I've been using my NC for a while flashing roms no problem. I tried honeycomb emmc and it works but I want to go back to cm7. Didn't make a nandroid backup (wanted to start from scratch on purpose) . I can reflash honeycomb fine. I can also always boot to cwr from my recovery SD I made. What am I doing wrong to prevent cm7 from booting after flashed? I want to continue loading cm7 from emmc, not the SD card. Any ideas?
Should add I've tried cm7 nightly 114 and another 103 I believe, which was working perfectly before I flashed honeycomb. It displays the cm7 boot logo then just an all black but still powered on screen. Never makes it to the boot animation.
Kinda at a loss for ideas here. I'm sure it is something simple that I missed, but I'm not finding anything like this on XDA. Right now my nook is either booting to recovery and sitting there, or just a totally useless paperweight. I know it isn't bricked, I just don't know what else to try to get back to CM7.
shamless bump. I have spare time today to play with this.
Did you wipe /system and /data before you flashed CM7?
Absolutely.

Are there additional steps I'm missing? This is the first issue I've had flashing the nook or any android device.

I seem to recall CM7 not booting for me after one of my play sessions. Although I hadn't loaded Honeycomb. The only way I could get back was to flash Nook 1.2 from a CWR sdcard and start over.
I just flashed nook froyo 1.2 that keeps CWR and still am unable to boot. If it wasn't for booting to my CWR SD, I'd be scared I bricked it.
What are some known good ways to get back to 100% stock? I don't mind re-rooting. Is there a RUU file or something?
I also recall having to remove the emmc CWR that ROMmanager installed (without really asking or making clear what it was doing).
In the DEV section there's a zip that removes the CWR boot and returns to stock boot. I'd try that.
I'm surprised there are no experts on hand to offer more guidance - it's a bit like sleepy hollow here!
I did try that zip if we are thinking of the same thing. IDK what is going on. I can't get it to boot on 1.0.1 BN, 1.2 BN, CM7....I'm really worried now.
Sorry this is not an answer to your question, but I wondered why you didn't like honeycomb and want to go back to cm7?

Honeycomb isn't a complete port... it has no hardware acceleration and doesn't do a lot of things that CM7 can, probably due to the nonavailability of the source code.

Anyways, if you still want CM7; wipe all data/factory reset and don't flash CM7 once, but twice
Always works for me. If not, boot it up (even if its stuck at the loading screen) and then turn it off and flash CM7 again without wiping.

ok so after 3 days of trying, i keep getting stuck on a boot-loop I am asking for some help.
before I begin, I have successfully rooted and installed cm7 on 2 nooks that came factory 1.2,I have searched google and these forums but can't find anything with my specific needs.
I have followed the directions on this thread to a tee:

i am using a bootable cwm card (2GB) (cwm version 3.0.2.8)
after installing ManualNooter-4-5-18.zip then ManualNooter-4-6-16.zip I remove the sd card and reboot and I get a boot-loop with the "n color" screen animation. It has not booted successfully yet.
I have already used the 8 failed boots method to restore to factory and re-registered the nook.
Then I redid everything again and im back at the boot-loop.
any ideas
i do not have an answer but this answers my question of whether I want to run manual nooter on my 1.3 or try cm7. the cm7 steps seems more intimidating
Well i tried several more times last night with no luck. Then i got brave and just wiped everything (data,system,cache,dalvick) then flashed cm7 and gapps straight from my cwm boot card. I somehow
Ended up with a fully functional nook. App market works. Rebooted several times to be sure. I even tried usb host with my homemade adapter. Mouse, keyboard, and sandisk cruzer all work splendidly thru a powered hub.
My only mistake was i cant find my backup of stock 1.3 rom. Is there one floating around?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to go from CM to 1.3, correct?
From what you've described, I suspect Clockworkmod 3.0.2.8 is your problem. If you look carefully as you format /data in preparation for reloading the BN 1.3 firmware, I think you'll see that the format is actually failing. That version of CWM doesn't handle the partitions correctly.
You want 3.2.0.1. See the edits at the top of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987735
If you're already on CM7.1, you probably have the correct version of CWM installed. You can save yourself a step by formatting the /data and /system partitions using that, then continuing on with the rest of the procedure for restoring BN 1.3. I went through all this myself a few days ago while preparing to go to BN 1.4.1.
I forgot to mention in my last post that i realized i was using the wrong cwm image and i burned another card with cwm 3.2.01.
I was still getting a boot-loop so i wiped everything and went straight to cm7.

I didn't read your post correctly.
I had a stock nook that i want to install cm7 on. Not the other way around. I asked about a stock 1.3 file just in case i need to do a restore. The nook is done. Its running cm7 just fine and i have given it back to my friend.
I really need to get myself one :-(
I usually mess around with my sons but he's at his mothers for the weekend with it. After christmas im getting one. Dont know if it'll be a color or a nook tablet but im getting one for sure!
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
If you intended to install CM7 from beginning, then why you wasted time messing around with ManualNooter?
Im still rather new to working on nooks. I thought that it was required to use manual nooter first. Im still not sure.
Can someone clarify for mr. If i just bought a nook and i want cm7 on it, whats the best procedure?

The only boot loop issue I'm aware of is related to Adobe AIR and Flash. The fix is to uninstall them and then reinstall from Market.

I hope you do use Windows at some points.
Let's put it this way.
You bought a PC with Windows XP pre-installed, get home, you don't want XP, so you install Windows 7 on the PC. You just whack the XP.
Same theory applied here, B&N shipped their NC out with the original stock ROM, which is Froyo-based OS. You want to install CM7, which is Gingerbread-OS ROM. You just whack the stock and install CM7.
oh I get it know. so its pretty easy if you want to go straight to cm7 just wipe and flash.
After reading some posts from the nook tablet section, i guess i'm getting a nook color.
what a shame about the locked bootloader :-(
i didnt technically solve the boot loop issue, i just erased everything, but should I mark this as solved and if so how?
The current Nook Color bootloader is not locked. The Nook Tablet's is. I wouldn't necessarily rule anything out, though. The bootloader on the Motorola Droid 2 is also locked, and there's quite an active Cyanogenmod community around it. The only problem is that we're stuck with whatever kernels B&N release, so ICS may be a long way off. I suspect the NC will remain the tuner's machine of choice, but the performance on the NT is very nice. If you can live with a rooted B&N ROM, it's a nice device for now.

No, it seems that some 1.3 based NC units will bootloop if 4.6.16 is used to root them. I'm not sure why. Even after repartitioning to original nook partition sizes, or using CWM 3.2.01 (which supports the new partitioning), it'll still bootloop if 4.6.16 is used. Might be because of the different kernal included, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure. They root fine with 4.5.18. Haven't tried one with the new 1.4.1 compatible nooters.
To the original poster;
I'm having the same problem here, installed 4.15 successfully, installed 4.16 and am getting stuck in boot loop at the rainbow nook color screen.
I'm not understanding the 8 boot fail procedure though. Is this when you let the boot loop run through 8 times or when you get to the point of when the boot loop starts, shut the NC off and power it back on?
Also, to install cm7, all you did was put it on your sd card, and installed it through cwm?
The 8 boot method if i recall correctly is when you boot the nook and wait until the splash screen shows up immediately hold the power button and shut it down. Repeat 7 more times. If you did it correctly it should take over and do a restore on its own.
If you want to go straight to CM7 I dont think you need to go thru with this procedure because if you create a bootable cm7 card and insert it in your nook while its off then power up, it should boot you into cwm recovery. Once in the recovery you can flash cm7.

Thank you good sir! I was stuck in boot loop forever and couldn't find a clean explanation of the 8 boot fail process. I always tried to turn it off when the rainbow nook color screen came up.
I got it reset, made a flashable CWM SD card with 3.2 and then flashed CM7 on there and it works great!!
That was very frustrating, thank you!
Dont mention it, Glad to here I was able to help you out. I felt the same way when I was in that situation. Lots of googling to get a clearer idea on what that 8 boot method entailed. CM7 really makes it feel like a totally different device.
To all the devs that work on these projects, thank you

ive recently purchased a nook color version 1.3 and did all the steps to build cm7 on sd ard inserted it into my nook it downloaded then rebot and seem to come up im cm7 but my touch screen isnt working any suggestions?
Hi,
Since the ICS upgrade, have had lots of random reboots from sleep, some of them "normal" booting back into ICS, and some where my tf got stuck at the asus boot logo.
Tonight, I had boot loop a second after the transformer starts. When trying to access recovery, only got a tilted androd with red triangle/eksklamation mark.
I got the transformer up and running again by performing full wipe, which ofcourse is god damn annoying.
Did anyone else have this problem, and did you find a smarter way of "solving" it than me?? (In case it should happen again...)
Btw... My transformer is unrooted, and completely stock in every respect. I live in Denmark, and have not yet received the ICS upgrade that supposedly solves the random reboot issues.
