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.

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
I am writing to see if I can get some help, I have tried to install CM9 nightly on my vibrant and I get an error before it installs. My phone has been setup for use on both TMobile and AT&T could that the reason? It seems to be a verifaction problem.
Have you tried to install cm7 then try cm9??
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
I have not tried that. I was coming from ICS Passion and did a data;system;cache wipe then factory reset. I will try to install CM7 doing another wipe and then try again. Thank you for your reply.
If I remember I think it is a kernal related thing but not sure I'm at work so I can't really look

I recommend Odin to jfd. Here what I did.
First make sure you back up your files and make sure you remove sim card and memory card too
1.Odin to JFD
2.Dail *2767*3855# (to format it because there still old file there)
3.Install GB bootloader
4.Install Update.zip (that have CWR with the update)
5.In recovery Perform a factory reset, wipe data/cache,clean cache partition
,wipe dalvic cache and format system( in Advance setting)
6.Flash CM9 ( you might have to flash twice)
7.Perform a factory reset,wipe date/cache
8.Install Gapp
9.Reboot
I dont have to flash CM7 first. I just flash straight to CM9 but I do recommend intsall GB bootloader
Well since I don't use Windows I will try this with Heimdall. It seems strange that I can install ICS Passion but not CM9. I also tried installing CM7 nightly with a clean wipe but had no luck there. I was looking for a kernel image to flash but it was late and the site was not responding for the kernel image I was trying to download. The plus is this is my old phone I use around the house like a mini tablet since it's only hooked up to the wifi.
I have been successful in flashing CM9 nightly. What I did was download glitch V14-B6 flashed that rebooted into recovery then flashed CM9 nightly
Now I have it running I would like to thank everyone who replied.

I have a retail XT907 on 4.1.2 that I got rooted, unlocked and twrp installed
I want to try the Energy rom and have it downloaded.
Where do I place the zip on the phone to install it in recovery?
I have backed up my system to the sd
Do I need to partition my phone? How to do it?
Can I instal the rom on my phone running 4.1.2?
Thanks

safestrap.md5 is NOT the flashable/installable file. You want the .apk file.
And why can you not install Eclipse on CWM or TWRP?

TWRP would not allow me to create a partition.
I renamed the md5 to apk and installed it just fine, but now I have 2 recoveries
Installed the Energy ROM and its awesome but camera app fc every time :crying:
I want to try the PAC rom next.
To do so I assume I need to delete the current partition where I have the Energy ROM installed?
Can I install the PAC rom on the stock ROM slot?
If so how do I get rid of safestrap and keep only TWRP?
Thanks to the Razr M community for all the help, I only had Sammy experience before getting the Razr M and been trying to learn it all over again

Camera will not work on energy if you install it on top of a 4.1.2 ROM.
SS can been cleanly uninstalled without impacting twrp.
I'm now on pacman, and it is great except for camcorder not working.

So if I erase system on twrp, restore to stock backup, all the changes made on ss and energy will be gone? Than just click flash and choose PAC.zip and gapps?

I'm not sure if wiping system/factory reset will undo the partitions made via SS - but otherwise, I think you are correct. you don't need both SS and TWRP going forward. however, the only reason to have SS is to install the awesome Energy ROM (although Brandon claims to get Energy installed via TWRP just fine - so you might want to check with him). however, that ROM is based on 4.1.1. all ROMs going forward will be flashable via TWRP.
if you don't mind camcorder not working, then go with PACman.
i would recommend once you download the 5/24 PACman ROm and GApps, go into TWRP, mount everything, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, mount everything again, install PACman ROM, install GApps, then reboot.
if you cannot deal with camcorder not working, then you can install the base 4.1.2 component, posted on droid-hive:
http://droid-hive.com/index.php?/topic/1767-98161-base-components/
go into TWRP, mount everything, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, mount everything again, install 4.1.2, then reboot
once you are at a good spot, then you can uninstall SS
Thanks, finally got PAC flashed and am loving it. Camcorder not a big deal for me as long as camera works.
Thanks again for the help

I have been a Samsung Galaxy Y user for more than a year. I have to say that this device is awesome. But.... I have later noticed 2 problems.
1) One day I tried to install Elegance ROM. I followed all steps very carefully and when the installation was done, I rebooted my phone. Unfortunately, my phone booted up again at Samsung stock firmware. I tried to enter recovery mode because I wanted to see what went wrong, but I was automatically redirected to CWM recovery. I tried once again to install Elegance ROM, and the result was the same. From that day, CWM is my default recovery. Why? How to fix this??? I can't access stock recovery and I also cannot install any custom ROMs. How to fix this?
2) Even my SD card is full with songs, photos and videos, the "Gallery" and "Music" apps don't read any file. Why? How to fix this?
P.S. I'm running stock 2.3.6 rooted.
Thanks for help.

You have a permanent cwm because you are using a custom kernel with a permanent cwm - probably was included in the rom zip
If you want stock recovery flash stock kernel (can be found in general section or flash hells fusion #50 from dev section and select option to flash stock kernel)
you would of remained on stock rom after flashing another rom because you didn't mount system in cwm before you flashed the zip
As for your other problem flash stock rom via odin as you have probably mucked something up from flashing zips incorrectly
So.... If I flash the stock kernel, will I be able to access stock recovery and flash CWM every time I want?
By the way, this mess with the files started when I changed my phone's SIM card. When I turned my ohine on again, I opened by mistake the "Galery" app. I noticed that no images were there. I also thought that the "music" might also had the same problem. And that's what happened. Which Odin version I will need?
Thanks again.

Yes stock kernel = stock recovery and you can flash a temporary cwm
there is no problems with a permanent cwm in custom kernels as you need cwm to flash roms
If you goto phone settings about phone it will show you your current baseband - for example mine is xxlf3
You can either download that stock rom firmware from dokys thread if there or any other from your country
Thanks everybody. You are all really helpful. I appreciate your help. But tell me, do I need to mount system before installing Elegance? And while I'm having a custom kernel installed, can I flash roms or I need the stock kernel?
Thanks again.

Follow instructions on the op of the rom you want to flash
you must always mount system before flashing a zip else nothing will happen - you can flash zips all day and no changes would happen as it can't write to system as it's not mount!
As a general rule
wipe system
wipe data
wipe cache
mount system
mount data
mount cache
flash zip
format data (not always required just for some roms)
restart
you do not need to go back to stock to change rom
There are guides in general section - please read them first then you would understand the process

I'll start by apologizing if this has been covered elsewhere. I looked but couldn't find it. I am definitely a noob, but trying to learn.
I bought a Nook Color already rooted a few years ago. Under "About Phone", it does say Model number is NookColor, it is Android version 2.3.7, and the Mod version is CM-7.1.0-encore. (kernel version 2.6..32.9 if it matters)
It already had ROM Manager on it, and when I boot into recovery, it has CWM 3.2.0.1. When I try to update CWM with Rom Manager, it tells me that I have an unsupported device. When I click Device not listed above, it pops up with "NookColor does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
I assumed somebody must have so I hit "yes", and it asked me to confirm the version. I clicked on ClockworkMod 3.x+. It tells me after that Rom Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation. I hit "ok", and under Recovery Setup, it tells me Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x I did reboot into recovery, and it still comes up as version 3.2.0.1
My question is, is there a way to download the most current version of CWM to my sd card and install it from CWM? If so, does anyone know where I could find the download?
My goal is to update to CM11, and the instructions I have tell me I need the latest version of CWM.
First off, get rid of ROM Manager, it does nothing but screw up Nook Colors. You can get a new enough version of CWM at this post:

Thank you for the reply. Yeah, I kind of figured I needed to get rid of that. I had already downloaded cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore, and gapps-kk-20140606-signed in order to do this. I had a hard time getting those gapps for some reason, I hope they are the right ones. I looked that that thread. I must be blind. I can't see where I would get the latest CWM. I also don't know what to do with it when I do find it.

Install zip from sd. After you flash go to advanced and reboot to recovery so you are in the new recovery and then flash the rom and gapps zips and do a factory rest.

I flashed the rom and the gapps, and it looked like it was doing it, but as it was saying uninstaling old apks and installing new ones etc, it was taking a while. I left the room to find it rebooting back in to CM7. Should I go back in and reflash again and stay put this time?

Sorry it took so long to answer. I'm on the east coast, I was sleeping when you sent your last message. It says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 at the top. I don't know if the word "based" means anything.
I had checked the MD5 Checksum with a utility I found for the CM-11 nightlies I found off of Download.CyanogenMod.org, and they matched.
I thought that maybe that the Nook was having trouble with my external card so I put the rom and the gapps on the internal card and tried it, and it still gives me the errors.
This is what I have been doing, and this is according to instructions I found in another thread:
1. I wipe data. on the nook screen it says:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:unknown vulume for path [/sd-ext.]
formatting /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
I then wipe cache partition:
--Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete
I then wipe Dalvik cache under advanced:
It says Dalvik Cached wiped.
then I go to choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 and pick cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip (also tried with 20150607) that's where I get:
--Installing : /storage/sdcard1/cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-encore.zip

Then it shows the Android guy keeled over. I then do a restore and he pops back up. on the screen it says:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
I boot back into system, and it loads CM-7 as if it was it's first day. It wants me to sign in to Google account etc.
I thought that when you do all those wipes, that at least the internal card wasn't supposed to have much left on it. It appears like mine has everything that it always had, not that I kept much in there. It does show files for ADW Launcher. Unless maybe they were restored through Google when I signed in.
Sorry this post is so long, but if you are helping me, I wanted to be detailed.
Everything is as it should be except for that error 0 and your backup md5 mismatch.
Just some things to point out. A factory reset wipes data and cache. So no need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, those are both wiped with the factory reset. And a factory reset does not wipe system, that is usually done by the new rom installer. Since that failed, system was not wiped and still had cm 7 still on it, but not set up since you wiped data.
And a data wipe does not wipe your files on the internal sdcard, which is why you still had some files from your prior installation.
And you need a newer CWM, version 6.0.4.8, for roms after 5/16/14:

Yes, it certainly would have made it easier. That newer cwm allowed me to install the rom and gapps.
The only problem I am seeing now is that I don't see the Play Store icon. I see Play Books, Play Games, Play Movies & TV, Play Music, and Play Newsstand, but no Play Store. I am going to assume that I didn't have the correct gapps.
If that is the case, do you know where I can find them, and would I just flash it, and do I need to wipe anything afterwards?
Incidentally, even after flashing this rom I still have files left from things that I had installed before that I don't want. Are those just to be deleted manually?

Yes you must manually delete any sdcard files you don't want.
And I have a version of gapps for KitKat here:

If flashing that does not fix it, go to cwm and format /system, reflash the rom and new gapps zips.

Are you sure that's the right gapps? I have 4.4.4 now and that file says 4.4.2 You're the expert, but I just want to double check.
By the way....how is a person supposed to know what the right gapps file is for the rom used? I know that roms are device specific, but I don't know about gapps. I put CM-11 on my wife's Kindle Fire. Can I use the gapps file that I used for hers?
By the way, if I don't like CM-11, can I put CM-10, or CM-12 on my Nook using the same CMW that I now have? It seems like this is a little slow, and for some reason the lock screen is always in landscape mode.

Everything is as it should be except for that error 0 and your backup md5 mismatch.
Just some things to point out. A factory reset wipes data and cache. So no need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, those are both wiped with the factory reset. And a factory reset does not wipe system, that is usually done by the new rom installer. Since that failed, system was not wiped and still had cm 7 still on it, but not set up since you wiped data.
And a data wipe does not wipe your files on the internal sdcard, which is why you still had some files from your prior installation.

I was able to answer my own question. I actually did the wipes, and reinstalled the rom (just in case), and I flashed the gapps that I used on my wife's Kindle. Now I know that gapps are are not specific to the device. I don't know why there are so many different versions of gapps for a rom though. I also don't know how you are supposed to know which is the best to use. It seems like it's always buried in a thread somewhere, but where do you go to find the information out otherwise? Also, it seems like if you are going to flash a rom, you have to have the correct version of cwm, and that the most recent updated one isn't always best. How are you supposed to know which version for which rom? Also, do you know if they have stopped making nightlies for cm-11? The last one was on 6/14, and it seems a little buggy. If they do make one, and I want to flash it, do I just flash it, or would I have to do the wipes again and would that make me have to reinstall all my apps? As you can tell, I am trying to learn all about this.

As an end user, you do not really want to use nightlies, they are usually buggy and experimental. You want to use the latest snapshot which for the most part have their bugs worked out. Usually you can flash new nightlies over older nightlies without wiping. But if you go backwards, like from a newer nightly to an older one or an older snapshot, you should wipe. You can try it without wiping, but if you experience problems, go back and wipe, no need to reflash.

I downloaded and installed the M12 snapshot. Well, for one thing, the lockscreen is always in landscape mode. For another, it is now running just as slow as slow can be. Do you have any idea why that might be? I put the rom in my external sd card and installed from there. That's what I should have done correct? Is there another build that I should have put on here instead? I also noticed, that even after doing all the wipes, and installing new roms, I still had files from before I started all of this. Did it not wipe correctly?

Well, I am having some issues with this rom. For example, the wifi isn't as strong as it used to be, and some apps don't want to connect. When I reboot, app folders that I put on the desktop end up missing as well as some icons and I have to put them on again. I did go in to cwm and wiped the caches, but that didn't help, not to mention the continued landscape mode with the lockscreen. Any ideas? What rom do you think is best?

I never liked cm11. I liked cm10.1.3 the best. It is very stable and everything works. If you go to that you must downgrade your cwm. I have versions on my NC tips thread linked in my signature.
