I deleted the build.prop file in my system folder. I was using Root Explorer. Now my Dell Streak won't boot up. At least it boots up to the Dell screen, but then the screen goes black as it stops loading so my guess is that it is a ROM problem. Im using Streakdroid 1.9.0. I can also go into Clockworkmod Recovery. Help!
If you did a nandroid full backup before you deleted that system file, just do a nandroid full restore.
If you didn't do the full backup, use clockwork to reflash 1.9.0.
Consider this your warning to ALWAYS do a nandroid full backup immediately before you go messing with important things!!!
Reinstall 1.9.0
Posted with StreakZilla, using XDA App.
The problem was that I tried to restore/reinstall the 1.9.0 again, but I couldn't because I didn't have the Streakdroid 1.9.0 zip on my SD card. The thing I did was that I used my dad's SD card and his phone and reformatted his SD card to FAT32 format, then put the Zip file in the SD card. I then put it into my phone, went into the recovery and did a flash of the 1.9.0 ROM again. Then the phone rebooted, but got stuck on the Dell Streak logo. I was being so paranoid. I put out the battery and turned the phone on and voila, the phone worked. Luckily.
I won't be doing anymore stuff on it lol.

You haven't screwed up your phone but you have lost your data if you haven't done a nandroid... Why do you format your SD BTW? It is not necessary unless you have Apps2SD... Also a nandroid doesen't save your SD card data it saves your custom ROM with all your mods to your SD... Your text is actually quite confusing... Have you lost your modified ROM or your SD card data? If it's your SD card data you might be able to find software on the internet for recovery of lost files...
just download a new rom;
go into recovery;
check 'usb toggle mode';
copy *.zip to your phone;
wipe all the things you need to wipe;
flash your *.zip
*after you've created a new BART or Nandroid backup of your working system,
copy the BART or Nandroid folder from your SD-card to your local pc so you always have a good backup by hand
**you have NOT bricked your phone so don't stress out
I can't do a search it says search is disabled. I'm currently on rooted stock and want to make a nandroid back up of my phone. I got the recovery app installed and currently booted to the recovery screen. I see the backup & restore tab, but then it goes to internal SD card and External SD card. Which one do I want to back up. I'm guessing internal SD card, and where does it save it too. Can I take the saved file and put it on my computer for safe keeping? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Again I did try to search, but it's broken.
If your using CWM recovery it will be under the folder Clockworkmod, then under the subfolder Backup or Backups. And it doesnt matter if you save on internal or external, of course you have to have enough space on which ever you select though. You can copy this folder to comp to keep it, if you decide to edit file name dont put any spaces in it use . or _ or you may run into issues.
Also, when it asks internal or external it's asking where you want to backup to. I usually choose external so I can format internal if needed.
I'm a MoPho-er
Thanks guys for clearing it up. I appreciate it. I just flashed a rom, and didn't like it then flashed back to stock and restore via nandroid and it worked flawless. Thanks again for the help.
Nandroid Backup error message
I have a stock photon that I rooted. I have both CWM and Rom toolbox pro installed. When I go to to a Nandroid backup it trys to boot into recovery and says "FAILED to boot 2 Starting RSD mode". If I reset the battery it boots fine. Android Recovery does the same.... Suggestions?
Ooo
Boot into CWM and go to advanced and then show log. see if you have any errors. I would personally do a partition wipe. If this works, from a running system, go to rom manager and do a fix permissions.
Ooo
Yes, from CWM, 4th option down. 'wipe cache partition'
You will lose only things that are stored in the cache. Similar to clearing cookies on a PC. Android will create a new cache upon next boot (which will take a little longer than normal)

Might be your sdcard. Backup everything and format it with SDFormatter then copy your files back,if you keep receiving errors about sdcard you could have a faulty sdcard.
You could also backup your data with titanium backup, boot into CWM make a backup of current ROM and make a fresh install of a new ROM, there are stock, CM7 and MIUI as CWM flashable zips for easy install in CWM pick the one you need, flash it and restore your apps with titanium backup (preferably only app not app+data as you're getting databases errors).
Make a backup of your new ROM in CWM once you finish setting it up as you want for precaution. Remove your old backup.
NOTE: If you install CM7 again make sure you have latest build (Internal: Alpha12 | sdcard: Final). Also verify the md5 of the download so you know its not corrupted.

Spoke too soon. TB still won't let me backup due to insufficient storage space. Now it says that my SD card is 200mb and I only have 1mb free??? I took SD card out and put back in, no change, reboots no change. Evernote is complaining too. WTF How can a card just go bad??
Laptop is saying the same. Considering reformatting and trying again?

You mentioned that you flashed CM7 sd image right? so you have to resize the last partition to the end of your sdcard. Last partiton is the one that will act as "sdcard".

Using easus partition master, resized the last partition to use unallocated space and nook said 200mb SD card anyway. I don't get it.
----------
Used different software and partition resized. This time set up started which I didn't see before. All seemed fine, started adding some apps from the market since I have no backup.
Suddenly it rebooted and bypassed/ignored the SD card and booted into the previous set up. I powered off, removed/replaced SD card then booted but same thing. I started to post HERE and it rebooted with the SD card! Then it rebooted into the previous set up without the card.
Was.thinking of doing the internal install. Does this indicate a bad SD card or problem with nook seeing it? Considering a surface scan in windows?

It looks like because seems that the Nook Tablet unmount your sdcard or it unmount itself randomly, so if you are running a ROM from sdcard it's logical it will reboot because no system is found. Try with another sdcard if possible to know better if its a software issue or hardware sdcard issue.

Hey guys, today i was messing around with my nook tablet and i tried to restore it and i acidently deleted everything. now when ever i boot its goes straight to CWM recovery. ive tried to flash recovery and stock reboot and nothing worked. Is there anyway to restore it using usb or anything else? thanks.
I ran into similar difficulty with this earlier today. What worked for me eventually was using
the CMW Windows installer on my SD card, which nerfed it down from 32GB to 2GB,
formatted that 2GB partition,
put the "acclaim_update.zip" folder in the root,
inserted the sd card,
plugged the tablet into the charger,
power+n cycled once, then regular boot and it went it.
Your results may vary, though. It took a few tries before I finally got it to boot from SD
How exactly do i do that?
Fix for the Cyanoboot CWM bootlooping...
It could help someone, haven't seen this simple fix around so i decided to post it up here.
1. boot into CWM from sdcard, see here to download the sdcard version , instructions to burn the image to your sdcard are there too.
2. once you have finished burning the image into your sdcard you will see the size of your sdcard will be reduced to less than 50 MB, CLICK on your sdcard and you will see some files in there.
3. Download 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip from my thread and copy-paste it to your sdcard so you can flash CWM internal using CWM sdcard version. HOPE YOU DONT GET CONFUSED.
4. Safely eject your sdcard from PC, power off your nook(long press power button), put the sdcard back into your nook, power on your nook.
5. It will boot into CWM sdcard then flash 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip, reflash the ROM of your like (It should be on Internal sdcard, you can also swap to another sdcard containing the ROM while in CWM sdcard or resize CWM sdcard [50mb] with a partition tool software so you can copy a ROM to it).
6. Remove the sdcard from your Nook and select reboot system now from CWM
Done!
Your Nook tablet should now boot normally!!!
NOTE: the 8gb-16gb_cwm_internal.zip made by @succulent has few options missing so consider to install another internal CWM later. This process will just make you fix the bootlooping process and boot your device normally.

Flash "acclaim_update.zip"
I recently made a thread on how to flash "acclaim_update.zip" in CWM so head on over to it and see if it works for you and remember do a factory reset from CWM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762024
So here's the deal, I screwed up big time.
Bottom line, the SDcard is formatted and I can no longer get in the phone (stuck at the splash screen for King Kangers build).
I have a backup of the SDcard and a nandroid backup of the phone, but when I enter CWM, I cannot get the recovery to recognize the external SD card and I can no longer access the internal SD card.
Also, Samsung Kies no longer can access the phone either so I can't re-flash back to stock.
Help please??
Thanks!
Id10t < that'd be me.
Ok, I may have gotten lucky.
I reflashed the ODIN CWM recovery tar and then re-created the folder on the SD card for clockworkmod/backup/ and placed my backup files in there.
Now, I'm back in the CWM and recovery found the external SD card.
I'm in the process of restoring from backup, crossing fingers this all works.
:good:
