If the md5 matches, you can be pretty sure you got the right file...

For those getting bootloops or whatever, a more detailed description than "bootloops" would be helpful-- where is it looping, what does the log say (dmesg + logcat), what did you try already to resolve it, what device are you using, booting off emmc or sd, etc etc..

w/o excruciatingly detailed info, info there is no way for anyone to help you.

Just wonder that YouTube could not show HD..... :(

Is there an SD version out? I was under the impression that a lot of people still on cm7 were waiting for an SD version of cm9 because they were scared of flashing to emmc for some weird reason. If there is indeed an SD release I'd recommend putting it MUCH more front and center.

Backup CM7 with nandroid backup and flash your CM9.zip file from CWM recovery. Cyanoboot will boot from eemc first, where there is your new CM9. If you want to dual boot you have to install CM7 on SD (read instructions for this, I didn't it).

I dont need dualboot. But if i backup cm7 through clockworkmod can i restore it from cm9? Can you reboot into cwm recovery? Or only cyanoboot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darthvince:
Yes, you can reboot into CWM recovery from within cm9. Restoring your CM7 nandroid backup is easy to do and probably your best bet after you have played with cm9. Of course, you could do a nandroid backup of each and go back and forth that way, but it would be silly lol. So in answer to your question, do a nandroid backup first, try out cm9, then if and when you are ready, use cwm to restore back to CM7. No harm done.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] homen3:
yes, you can reboot in recovery and install back CM7 without problems. :)

Cyanoboot is separated from recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
So i can back up both OS's and switch between them through clockworkmod just like i am now with miui and cm7?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] strictlyrude27:

Ok, so once ive DLed the update.zip and backed up cm7, where do i place the cm9 recovery file in order to use it in cyanoboot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] homen3:
You're doing confusion :-)

Once backed up you simply copy the file downloaded from the first topic (CM9-whatever.zip) on your SD. Reboot the NT in a recovery mode (CWM) and install the files exactly as you did with the CM7. You do not need to anything Cyanoboot if you do not want to have both systems in dual boot. Once restarted simply, when it appears Cyanoboot, wait a few seconds and the NT will start automatically in CM9. If you want to restore CM7 just return to the recovery and use the backup for restore (there is the voice in the menu)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:

Thank you for clarifying my questions. Is there any advantage or reason to flash recovery.img using fastboot if I already have CMW installed to the recovery partition? no, right?

Hi, I was going to try this on my 8gb but since the device doesn't boot I can't get the zip file onto it. Can I just install the zip off an sd card?

When i put .03 on my nook i basically followed sigmabeta's instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1619985

He says you have to put the zip onto the internal storage so that's why i assume it still needs to be done that way.

Or do i need to go back to stock and then install .04 from there?

I guess the smart thing would have been to update before the timeout.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggwardo:
No, I was just realizing that i didn't even install the recovery. That post I followed had the download link for the recovery but then forgot to tell you to install it. I guess i was so happy to have CM9 running i forgot that i had downloaded a file and didn't even use it. :o

Recovery & boot loop

For .03, I used CWM to flash the zip and that worked fine.

With .04, I used CWM again but .04 continues to boot loop. I had to use Meghd00t's repart to clear it and go back to stock. (BTW, I did try to flash .04 yesterday - before .03 timed out. Now, it is timed out so I can no longer restore my backup.)

Are you suggesting that .04 will only flash if we first fastboot the post recovery image? :confused: What is different in that recovery?

I can do some testing if you need. Just advise.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

I suggest that you flash the recovery 0.04. Then restore the backup and then install 0.04 (without rebooting).

Good luck. If your 0.04 still boot loops, please try to get more logs.

Btw: 8 or 16GB nook?

Rgds,

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
I've been using the recovery from the first iteration of Indirect's app for all versions of CM9. I'm also fairly certain one of the devs states in this thread somewhere that you don't absolutely need to flash the recovery. I know others with the 8GB were also not using the recovery image from this thread to flash it, as indicated in the "how to install cm9 on the 8GB model" thread. That guide uses a recovery that is not from this thread.

It sounds like something is borked in .04 for the 8GB. As Chris said, logs need to be provided, else there's not a whole lot that can be done.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

The 0.04 recovery is nothing special. It's a CWM like previous .0x versions. But I know that there are CWMs out there that don't reset the boot counter/cmds.

Chris
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dornstar:
Special or not, .03 timing out means no CM9 for 8GB users as. 04 won't boot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
This is really odd. I haven't done anything kernel wise that could mess it up:

https://github.com/CMNookTablet/android_device_bn_acclaim/tree/ics-2.6.35

No clue why 8gb tablets wouldn't work anymore.

Is there no one around with a 8GB tablet where it does work?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dornstar:
Looks like there's other 8GB owners who have had similar issues. .03 ran great. .04 hangs at the first cyanoboot screen. Anyway of resetting .03? Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
When you say it hangs at the cyanoboot screen-- you mean it hangs AFTER right? I'm pretty sure the cyanoboot is identical... can someone compare md5s of .03 and .04 just to make sure?

Also, can someone try flashing the boot.img from .03 onto .04? That's another way to kind of narrow down where the issue might be. If it boots, we'll know it's a problem with the kernel or ramdisk. If it doesn't, the problem is probably more userspace-y.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dornstar:
No, it gets to the cyanoboot universal bootloader that says "loading (EMMC)" and then starts shaking. Happens on both my 8GB NTs and I've seen others post with similar issues trying to load .04.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
I don't see any updates in the repo from the cyanoboot that's been used successfully for 2 months. So I'm thinking it's the kernel...

Can you or someone else try re-flashing the boot.img w/the .03 boot.img w/fastboot on top of .04? If it boots, this confirms the issue is either the kernel or the ramdisk, and I'm thinking the kernel... somehow.

Conversely, can someone who is successfully booting .04 double-check that it's the 2.6.35 kernel and NOT the 3.0 kernel included with .04?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
I've checked the flashing_boot.img part on both 0.03 and 0.04 boot.img and they're different. Something changed and it may have affected the Cyanoboot on 8GB version.

Anyway, here's a flashable zip for boot.img I've created with 0.03 flashing_boot.img part with 0.04 boot.img body. I don't know if it'll make 0.04 work on 8GB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nark.GA60:
Can confirm that it's the 2.6.35 kernel.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
It's definitely 2.6.35 because I've extracted boot.img and they're the same size as 0.03. 3.0 kernel is over 3MB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] drymer:
I swapped the boot.img from 03 to 04, rezipped it and installed it with cwm, same problem, keeps on rebooting after cyanoboot.

bootloop on 8GB

Since I was back at stock, I used my CWM SDCard to get control and restore v.03.

Then I rebooted into Cyanoboot and started fastboot.

I flashed the .04 recovery to the device and rebooted.

It booted into Cyanoboot and then "loading emmc" and then blank; then it rebooted and repeated the process. It did that for a few times and then rebooted to the CWM "top hat." At that point, it is STUCK. The only change is when I press the power button, it displays the "CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4" and toggles with each press of the power button. Nothing more. Fastboot will not connect and no connection via USB.

Added: When I reboot, Cyanoboot comes up and auto loads emmc/recovery. Evidently, that occurred previously but I was not watching at that point. However, this time, CWM appears normal.

Added: The next phase, I was able to follow your instructions for flashing v.04 (using your .04 recovery). It still does the boot loop.

It is a Nook Tablet 8GB.

I got it to work on an 8GB. But it was on succulents dual boot. And he uses his own altboot.img instead of your boot.img in your zip. He has it modified so that it boots from partition 5. But, the rotation was off using his altboot.img. I had to change your build.prop to comment out the hwrotation=270 line. I tried just renaming your boot.img to altboot.img, but that did not work because he changed the partition setup in his version so it would boot from partition 5.

This tells me that it is your boot.img that is causing the problem for the 8GB emmc users, since succulent's version worked except for the rotation issue.

And with the rotation issue. We had the same issue with nook color. Originally fattire had a problem with using the cm7 method of setting rotations properly for cm9, which was to put that hardware line in build.prop. So he put the rotations in the kernel and did not include that line in build.prop. Recently he reversed that, took out rotations in the kernel and inserted the line in build.prop. I noticed in your .03 build prop that the line is missing and in .04 it is there. I suspect the same thing is going on, the rotation in the kernel removed and the line added. That is why I had an issue using succulents old altboot.img. It still had the rotations in the kernel and in build.prop. And when I removed that line it worked normally.

Edit: Wow. I missed somehow all this stuff above about flashing newboot. It was the boot.img. Glad it's working for folks. I will carry this rotation discussion forward to succulent's dual boot thread.
