Description:
in the video I'm showing you what I think is a boot loop or stuck animation where I've gone from a custom rom to stock 1.4.1 using a SD bootable ClockworkMod.
I flashed stock ROM after wiping system, data, and cache.
I was on emmc installed CM10 with u Boot and ClockworkMod recovery.
Will post more as I think of other things you might need to know in the comments below

I was running GorillaSense 2.3 and decided to give CM 7 RC1 a try. When I flashed it and then rebooted, I went into a bootloop so I tried doing a nandroid restore of the backup I did prior to flashing CM 7 and I got this error:
Erasing boot before restore...
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"
Error while formating BOOT:!
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5.
The only thing I can think of that I did out of the "norm" was replace the host file in the system to block ads.
Does anybody know how to solve this? I am unable to use my phone at the moment...
I am able to go into Advanced Restore and retore system, data, and cache. When I try to restore boot I get the message I wrote above.
Clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 works only with gingerbread roms. Any Frito roms need 2.1.5.2. I had this problem going from gorilla hd sense to cm7 as well. Flash a new clockworkmod or a gingerbread rom or evils miui

I wiped data and cache. Then Flashed this ROM Evil's HD port- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878320
I am still getting boot loops.
Evil's MIUI requires 2.1.5.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874257
Note - before wiped and flashed, I had gone into advance restore and restored, system, data and cache from my prior nandroid backup.
Hopefully that didn't screw things up. I don't have access to download the GorillaSense v2.3 that I had used before to see if flashing that would work since I am at work and it's blocked. I'm going to try that next, once I get home.
Which Clockworkmod version would I need for CM 7 RC1? Would v3.0.0.6 work?
Success!
Flashing recovery 3.0.0.6 did the trick! I flashed CM 7 RC1 and I don't get boot loops anymore. Thank you for your help.
I turned off the phone and booted back into recovery to make a nandroid backup after this successful flash. Then I flashed the google apps that come along with CM 7 and I'm stuck with the boot loop again...
I have restored the nandroid back, same bootloop, and wiped data & cache, flashed CM 7 only like the first time, and I still get the bootloop. This is so weird that it only worked the first time.
The first time it didn't boot loop I was left at the "desktop" screen. Now, when I boot loop, I get to the 'Welcome to HTC Glacier ( with the android you touch ) screen, only for like a second or two and then it loops.
Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking maybe I need to flash a new boot.img or something.
------------------------------
Ok, I flashed GorillaSense v2.3 which is what I was using initially. It works fine. No boot loops. I want to use CM 7 though! lol
I rooted my phone yesterday with the help of the folks in the chat room.
Everything went smoothly. I had Clockwork 3.0.0.5. I tried to install Royal Liquid rom but it got stuck on the splash screen. Then I read about the problem with 3.0.0.5.
I have since download and attempted to install CM7, evil-4G-HD, Royal Glacier, and a few other roms but they all get stuck on splash screen. Before I install each rom, I wiped data, cache, and delvik, and formatted boot, system, and SD card.
I can get into recovery fine, but I keep getting stuck at splash screen. I have left the thing boot for 10 minutes and nothing.
Is it possible to install Clockwork 3.0.0.6 or higher (3.0.1.4) through Clockwork Recovery since I can't get into a rom and into Rom Manager.
Any suggestions?
Ok. Finally solved it at 4:41 am!!! Downloaded Royal Ginger, went through the motions, and finally got pasted the boot screen. Downloaded Rom Manager and updated Clockwork to 3.0.0.6. And now I'm in Royal Liquid!!! Can't wait to go flash crazy.
Download 3.0.0.6 from dev section and install via recovery. Then wipe data/cache, boot, system, and davlik and try again.

I have my nook rooted and all of that and for some reason I decided to wipe the thing clean in CWM recovery and now it won't boot to anything unless I boot from SD. I've tried booting into a rom from SD and installing CWM recovery again through rom manager and it says that is has flashed successfully but when I tell it to restart it goes back to the rom on the SD of course, so I tried taking the SD out and holding down the N and booting into recovery and I get nothing no loading screen no nothing, am I not getting CWM installed? Is there a zip I can flash from CWM on SD to flash it?
EDIT!!!!! If i had remembered to format the right things then I wouldn't have had an issue.
If you are having the problem described above remember to format BOOT, System, and Data. And then flash your rom.
See post#4 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205047
Thank you I don't know what I was thinking, if I had just formated the right things it would have worked just fine, I am a tard sometimes.
Hi, I just flashed CM7.2 MiRaGe - KANG build, from the recovery, and now i`m stuck at it.
I did a dalvik wipe before flash it.
Now, every time reboots into recovery. (CWM 3.2.0.1)
I did a nandroid restore, i flashed again, and wipe all and restore, and wipe all and flashed again... :/
Is there any solution, before I search the "back to stock and root again" posts?
Were you trying to install onto the SD card or the internal emmc memory? Give us some more details of which method you were using. I don't understand your reference to a Nandroid restore as part of this. That would normally be used to restore a previous back up.
If you were installing onto SD card then just removing the card should get you back to stock and then you can start again.
If you were installing to internal then it sounds like you have somehow managed to flash just Recovery and not the real ROM. In that case you should be able to just check you have a good ROM download, put MiRaGe back on the SD card, wipe, and reflash it from recovery.
Sorry, I'll start from the beginning
I was on CM 7.1 RC, on emmc (always on emmc) and i downloaded 7.2 mirage, copied it to SD card, reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik, and flashed (and gapps too).
Then rebooted, and rebooted into recovery.
Then i downloaded 7.2 mirage again and flash it, nothing.
Then i did a complete wipe, and flashed again 7.1 rc, reboot, nothing.
Then i restore a previous backup of my 7.1 RC, reboots to recovery.
I turned off for a while too, nothing, it boots into recovery.
That does sound strange as your first steps sound like they should have worked fine, although I probably would have done a data and cache wipe when doing a major ROM change.
What may be worth a try is to power up with N key held down so you get into the boot menu. You can then select the boot source (emmc) and the boot type Normal and then see if that boots into CM7.
If not then it sounds like your Normal boot image has got overwritten with a clockwork image but the flash should update that unless something is failing.
I think you have to try the flash again and watch for errors.
I flashed a couple of times again, and then i make a sd-bootable card with cwm recovery and a new rom and everything goes well now (already installed ics)
A detail: when booting into boot menu, n+power, the source always is set to SD, then I change to emmc, reboot, nothing. Go to that boot menu, and again is set to SD...
Thanks for your time
ooops... it happens again!, how can i fix this, how can i format the boot entirely and start from 0 ?

Two ways I think you can go.
1. Make a clockwork SD card from eyeballer image. Put MiRaGe ROM on. This should boot and allow you to install ROM onto emmc. If card is then removed and replaced with a clean single partition non-bootable SD then this should then boot into CM7 MiRaGe and allow you to install gapps and you can then also download ROM Manager app and use that to flash CWM onto emmc as well.
2. If you have a running SD CM7 system, get ROM Manager app from the market, then use Flash CWM function to get a decent 3.2.0.1 Nook Color CWM onto emmc. Then you should be able to power + N select emmc, recovery and be able to boot into recovery OK. From there you can then install a new ROM (e.g. MiRaGe) onto emmc.
If your internal partitioning is completely screwed up then you will need to check out

and maybe use the repartition-boot-with-stock.zip to get you back to a stock boot set up.

A fundamental question.
After flashing and before rebooting, did you remove the uSD card off NC?
Hello, I have InnJoo i2s with Android 4.4.2 and CWM based recovery and when I try to install stock recovery.img extracted from stock ROM zip and compressed in it's own zip it starts flashing and then it says installation aborted and now I have a bootloop and I can't flash stock ROM again
Can you help me? :crying:
Actually it's not a bootloop but as soon as the boot animation starts the screen blacks out. I think it was caused by trying to format data and factory reset the phone through recovery but it froze. Also, I'm not able to flash anything through the recovery and I can't restore a backup created with the CWM based recovery. Thanks again

Best way out is reflash the entire stock ROM as it is.
Format cache and delvik and reboot
Once the system boots up, reflash the CWM or TWRP and get back your backup to work
