[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cekren:
Hi, so I've tried everything I can think of to restore my Nook to the stock 1.4.1 but nothing has worked and I've given up before I break anything else...

This all started when I was trying to install the CM7.2/CM9 dual boot from SD card - I burned the image to the SD card and booted but the device just hanged at a black screen (for a lot longer than it should have) after the CM "loading" startup screen.. I tried removing the SD card after holding the power button to turn it off but it then refused to boot to the EMMC stock OS... Somehow (I've only ever used SD card CM ROM's) an old CWM install (v.3.0.2 or something) was installed on the internal memory that booted when I tried to launch a factory reset (Power + N + vol+).

I then followed an older guide to restore to stock by formatting the /system and /data and installing a .zip from sd card (the nookcolor_1_4_1_signed.zip) but it failed with a (bad) error....

Now I don't know what to do. The device now hangs at "Read Forever" and the internal CWM is gone, as well as everything else I'm assuming... It will boot into CWM if it's installed on an SD card, but without that it will just reboot into Read Forever when I try to turn it off...

An aside, but now that I've checked with external CWM again, it appears there is now a "/system1, /system2, /data1, and /data2" file on the EMMC...

TL;DR: How do I restore Nook Color to stock 1.4.1 from CWM installed on an external SD card without flagging a "(bad)" error with the install?

Thank you for any help and I hope I haven't bricked this device... Hopefully this is just a case of ignorance on my part :confused:

EDIT: I've tried re-downloading the 1.4.1 and even a 1.2 signed ROM with out success. I haven't rooted the device, but I do not know how the internal CWM got there, as well as the fact that the external SD dual boot didn't work.. I'm using a new SanDisk Ultra 16GB SDHC Class 10 card if it makes a difference..

Could not having rooted the Nook be the only cause?

I had successfully dual booted the CM7.2 and CM9 for months until my old 16GB card broke... This was the new card I bought last week and it's been nothing but problems, exacerbated by myself, probably :/

I

Easy solution. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM card per item A10. Then flash my format 567 zip. Then go to item A15 and download my 1.4.3 stock ROM and flash that. Boot up, register and you are golden.

If you want to put a ROM on SD go to my updated SD instruction thread also in my signature.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cekren:
Thanks! I'll try that right when I get home..

EDIT - Awesome - It works! The dual boot card also works!

EDIT 2 - so... booting from the SD card still doesn't work... It just hangs at the Cyanogen7 boot video looping over and over (left to go to the store, got back and it was still looping)... holding power button down just resets the device while the SD card is in, doesn't actually shut down for more than 4 seconds or so....

Should I post this as a new thread? I'll try searching for anybody else having this problem in the mean time...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Are you using Racks' dual boot SD? If so, how recent is it? You might want to go to his special CWM and clear dalvik cache and try rebooting again.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cekren:
Yeah, I used the Dual Boot image I downloaded a couple days ago from Techerrata (I used the one at the top of the list that had the most downloads, connection I'm on is blocking Techerrata so I can't get the exact name ATM) with burned with Win32DiskImager, popped in the card and turned on but it just hangs. I'll try clearing the dalvik cache with his CWM image and see if it fixes anything..

EDIT - Ok, I tried clearing the cache, but it gives me the following error:

E:unkown volume path [/data]

I checked the Mounts and Storage Menu, and it looks like I still have "/system1, /system2, /data1, and /data2" directories, did the 567 format.zip not take care of whatever file structure or partition these were kept on in the EMMC?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The format 567 zip was for clearing the partitions on internal memory (emmc). Those partitions you are looking at are on the SD card (system1, etc).

You might just try clearing cache with his cwm rather than dalvik cache. You also might get a better response posting your dual boot question on the dual boot thread. I don't know a lot about the dual boot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cekren:
Sounds good, I'll try that. Thanks again for all the help, though!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
One thing to note... the initial boot does take a while and sits on a black screen while the cache image and formatted. Racks has put that into the dual boots with loop mounting so each bootable system will have its own cache space and avoid overwriting cache data from nother ROM.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cekren:
Good to know, but should it really take more than 90 minutes to initially boot? I let it boot up to CM7 on a freshly burned Class 10 card and left for the store, when I got back it was still at the boot video, watched it for another 5 minutes and it still didn't do anything... I don't really know what the problem is, could it be the card?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
I have seen it take up to10 minutes, but 90 is definately excessive... I would suspect the card being the issue... class 10 cards are not good for running any operating system from. While they have exceptional sustained read/write speeds... they (generally) have poor random small read/write speeds, and this is the types of files used by an operating system.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cekren:
Oh.. ok, well good to know! I'll pick up a different card today and see if that will work.

I got the Mirage 7.2 to work, by writing the "generic_sd.img" to the card, the coping the .zip download to the boot partition (renaming it to "update-cm7-mirage.zip" so the generic loader would see it)...

I inserted the card, booted, and Tux showed up and it ran through partitioning the card, expanding the mirage zip, and shutting down. However, when I turned it back on, it showed the Cyanogen mod bootloader, and I selected "SD Normal" but Tux showed up again and it went through trying to partition again (which it said was not needed, so it skipped) and finding an update- / .zip file (which it deleted when it expanded it before), same with the SD recovery boot option... Should I just try a new card?

EDIT - So, I was sick of messing with SD card booting, and realized I really don't care if I have the stock OS on it anymore since my warranty is about to run out anyway, I just rooted it an installed Mirage 7.2 and it works! Thanks for the help with the SD Card problems, though!

Gentlemen, time to retire the old Thunderbolt. Looking into the 8X and Droid DNA. I have watched and read a ton of vids and reviews on the 8x and DNA, now its time for the experts to lend thier opinion.

I will not be rooting or whatever we call it on the windows platform. thats a condition of the new phone. I have rooted or unlocked all prior phones, including my old Imagio, but the wife is accurate when she said they never work as good as when you left them alone. So with that, need un-unlocked opinions.

Storage - I use the phone mostly for music, some pictures for facebook and MMS, how bad is 16 (actually 11!?) with 7 skydrive? How many songs (or hours). Dont ask me to compare what I have space wise on my 32G SD card, my music is scattered from one file to the next, and the card is full of apk's and zips.

Overall performance - Really, this is where you guys can offer me true expertise. What do you personally think of the 8X compared to your old phone, especially if you came from a TB or android based OS?

iPhone factor - So I really like to brag about how my phones rock well beyond what my sheeps iPhone---I mean wife's iPhone can do. Can I truly have my tag say 'The iPhone killer!'

Thanks in advance guys! Everyone here at XDA just rocks the mobile world!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jerrya:
Come on guys, anyone got any opinion? Really would hate to reduce my choice to the DNA because I didn't get any feedback. Your opinions really matter, and would like to go into the store with a real good idea on the choice.

Let me know what you all think! Thanks again guys and gals!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] timmymarsh:
Hey there,

Ive been running wp7 and its successors on my hd2 for some time (well over a year), as well as trying android and the dreaded ibone.

What i would say about wp8 and the 8x is this: It is completely different to droid & iOS. Both those os's are completely app dependant therefore data & memory hungry.

WP8 is different, if you are a facebook/twitter/linkedin bod (like me) these are fully integrated in to the os, hit 'people' tab and 'boom' all there in one screen - no app involved (in fact i hardly ever use the official fb/twit apps).

The os is smooth as butter, it was even on wp7 in the early days. WP8 is much better, the next generation, its fast, stable makes you smile in its natural and instinctive 'user-bility'.

What i would also say, is that you cannot fully appreciate a wp device whilst playing with it in a shop for 10 minutes. If you can, borrow one for a week and live with it - get it set up for YOU.........windows phone is for YOU. You will either love it or hate it, but i promise you an experience ;) - Yes im a windows bod, have been since the days of wm5 - be different and own something that can only get better (just look at the low level of development from the ibone 4 to the 5 - point made)

Just my 2 cents of course - it is purely subjective. :cool:
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jerrya:
Thanks Timmymarsh! I would love to borrow one, but doubt that will happen. Maybe I can get Verizon to go with a 15 day trial period or something.

I have a friend who works at MS, and he gets all the latest and greatest, and just loves his phone. Doubt he can get one for me ;(

Thanks for the information, it really helps to hear honest opinions!
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] SuFuS01dier:
I too have had rooted androids and jailbroken iPhones, but this phone has completely changed my outlook on things. While it has a few things I'd like different, I don't have any desire to change or alter it. Its fast, smooth, and didn't leave me with buyer's remorse immediately afterwards :)

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jerrya:
How easy is its initial set up? I mean getting the screen to show the way you want, and setting up say outlook for contacts and emails? and can you tell me how that skydrive works? Does it play the music from there, or just downloads what I need?

Also, the xbox portion of the phone, if you xbox, how does it integrate and does it expand the xbox or more informational?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] timmymarsh:
sooo easy to set up its painful, beats droid out the ground re contacts etc. I have an outlook account, gmail, msn, facebook, twitter & 3 other email accounts. So easy to link all your contacts so they appear in one contact page. Once you done it, its backed up for the next time - new device or hard rest ;)

Mate, be different and get one, all new devices have their quircks, inc google and apple, but having said that, you wont be disappointed.

As for drop box, someone else will have to comment there as i dont know, i just sync the music i immediately want on my device so sant comment ;)
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jerrya:
Thanks again Timmy. I just watched a ton of vids where they demonstrated the 8X against android and apple, and I am really liking the idea of the live tiles, the different way the screen provides information, and the speed at which he was able to do stuff. Even counting he is paid to be that fast, its still impresive especially since he shows them how it works.

I am a minimilistic fan, and use SSLauncher with nothing but texts for my 'icons', but surprising, I find the boxes refreshing. I was leaning more towards the DNA, but ever since I started to get responses here, I think I am going to seriously check out the 8X.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] timmymarsh:
not putting you off the 8x, its a great device, but try the nokia 920 in the shop too.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] jerrya:
Yea, last rumor mill had it showing up around August, that came and went. So now they are saying end of this year (like in 18 days) or next year. If it doesn't come soon, then it wont happen for me.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] SuFuS01dier:
not sure how SkyDrive works as I haven't used it yet. The Xbox support was a high point for me since it does so much that other phones can't or don't. Setting up your home screen is as easy as any I suppose. Simple but not boring

decision made

Hey guys, want to thank all of you for helping, voicing your opinions, etc. I have made my decision.

Watched a 6+ part video on each area of the 8X and then learning about WPDemo.com, decided to go back to Microsoft. Looking forward to getting the new phone. Guess only question now is, what color?

Thanks again everyone! I even found several apps that are both WM and android. So I only loose a few (turn by turn hurts a little though!)

Any idea when thats going to be corrected? I refuse to pay Veri$on any more money then they are already getting!

Thanks again everyone!

Hi all...

I have very high Cell Standby drain...20 to 30% sometimes when the phone is idle. This is with no SIM, Mobile Data off, sync off, Wifi on, GPS on, Android Revolution 5.0 ROM and Perseus Kernel

The modem is N7100XXDLJ2

The phone is locked to 3's network, I'm not sure but AR 5.0 may have installed its own modem and I have no idea if its a UK optimised modem.

Does anyone know if there are optional modems out yet for the N7100?

Any other reasons the Cell Standby is so high? Because its draining the beejeezers out of my battery!

The title says it all, anybody working on a public release that actually works? I tried with help to port my own, but it turns out I'm not smart enough to get it stable. There was a build on XDA, it got shut down. There's another build by a US MIUI site, but it is getting minimal support. Any good news for us MIUI fans¿

bump it to the top big MIUI fan here and currently running "Outlaw Miui" and want progress. what we have is good but, there is massive room for improvement. yes I know "do it yourself" if I could I would and the thread would be in development and would be AWESOME.

Please support MIUI, thank you

[HTC One V] ryansinibaldi:
I recently recieved my One V and finally decided on rooting/installing a custom rom. I came from an Optimus V and had no problems installing a custom rom in that.

However it seems that no matter what kernel/rom I use they eventually lock up within the first 5 minutes of booting and restart. I've tried practically everything and can't get them to work. I wanted to ideally run the CDMA Pacman Rom w/ the Supersick kernel. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I have can have this working before work tomorrow.
[HTC One V] donhashem.dh:
Did you do a full wipe ???
[HTC One V] slack04:
"It ain't workin" isn't enough information for anyone to troubleshoot from.

Be more specific on what you did, which instructions you followed, what ROM and what kernel, what sort of computer you're running, where you're downloading from, and the steps you are taking. If none of the ROMs are working, the problem is probably not the ROM, if you know what I mean...
[HTC One V] ryansinibaldi:
Full wipe as in? (sorry, still a bit new). I did do a factory reset in CWM before installing whichever ROM I was trying at the time. I wiped all caches too.

I used the HTC One V AIO Toolkit to unlock the bootloader, get root, install CWM 6.0, create a backup and then install a kernel (I used the Super Sick JB one). From there I used CWM to gain access to my SD card and transferred over the CDMA Pacman ROM (after wiping everything clean) and then installed the ROM. It booted up successfully however as stated in a minute or so it would freeze up and restart itself. Even if I don't do anything after a reboot it'll still reboot itself anyways.

I did a bit of research and I'm thinking it could be due to the OTA Radio update from 2-3 weeks ago? I'm at my bootloader now and it says I have radio version 1.00.00.0928.

Any further help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. It's worth noting that I've tried many different Kernels (repeating all the steps above with full wipes every time) and different ROMs that were supported by the kernels. I've even tried to restore my phone back to stock and it just starts skipping at the VM Boot screen.

Oh, and I'm running Windows 7.
[HTC One V] donhashem.dh:
You mean the Rom booted normally right ?? If yes then the problem is with the Rom
[HTC One V] ryansinibaldi:
Pardon my ignorance but that just doesn't make sense. I've tried several different ROMs with the correct kernel's (Pacman, CM9/10, AOKP JB) and it's all the same scenario. They all boot (or occasionally don't boot and restart themselves at the boot animation) and then reboot themselves once they're pass the lock screen.

Like I said even currently if I restore my stock rom file it just loops at the VM Boot animation (which doesn't play fluidly).
[HTC One V] ryansinibaldi:
Figured out the issue :). It was radio version 1.00.00.0928 messing up my kernel.

Hi. For some reason, using hot boot on my s3 just brings it into the samsung logo and stays there forever. It's not frozen, as the glow still goes on, but it takes longer than a normal reboot.

Isn't the point of hot boot a faster reboot?
[Nexus 10 General] kenf2210:
hi,think the nexus 10 is a really good tab but ive had enough of poor wifi reception & rebooting all the time,has anyone else got these problems ? sometimes when im on the tab my wifi just disappears and other times especially when im upstairs in my house the wifi on this tab is very poor & the diifrence between this and my ipad 3 are like night & day which never drops connection or disappears entirly,and then theres the reboot problem that continues to bug this tablet ive had this at least 5 times since owning this & thats only a week or 2 old,anyway a replacement is on the way after phoning helpline so hopefully the next tab will be a bit more stable & would suggest u do the same if your getting these problems :(

forgot about charging aswell it takes hours for this to charge up

stuck on charge one morning at 0900 and still wasnt charged at 1300, 5hrs to charge whats that all about ???
[Nexus 10 General] coppercents:
My wifi is fine. But I have noticed the device reboots quite frequently. This usually happens because Chrome freezes. I hope Google sends out a fix.
[Nexus 10 General] vittogn:
I got rid of Chrome and it froze on other apps as well. It a very OS issue in my opinion. Reboots happened to me as well.
[Nexus 10 General] coppercents:
I don't recall the reboot issue happening so often before the 4.2.1 update
[Nexus 10 General] Dahg:
so often??

mine hasnt rebooted once on its own in 2 weeks

... I think its not OS issue as much as an app issue. might want to check your apps. oh and I have a bunch goin on... web, you tube, music, movies, games.... this thing is solid....

oh and wifi I dont have issue with either... hows your wifi connection for other devices??
[Nexus 10 General] stiggy2012:
Of course it's an kernel/OS issue. Chrome isn't issuing a reboot command, and unless you've rooted your tablet it wouldn't be able to able to reboot your tab if it wanted to anyway!

I had both wifi and reboot issues, and solved both by installed CM10.1. :)
[Nexus 10 General] kenf2210:
hi,im off to tnt tonight to pick up my replacement tab as they tried to deliver today when i was at work,dont get me wrong i think this tab is brilliant but the wifi on it is shocking,i can go upstairs in my property with the nexus and it drops to 1 bar and my apple ipad 3 is full bars so i would say the nexus has serious wifi issues and rebooting on its own should just not happen to a £300 + gadget,im not holding my breath with the replacement doing the same **** & to let u all know google know about these reboot problems as the agent on the phone said so,will let u all know how i get on with the replacement fingers crossed
