I have CWM installed internally from the 1 click app. I can boot into cwm recovery fine.If I then install stock recovery and boot into it, I get an error saying to turn off device and call BN support. Turn device on and I'm in endless boot loop cycle. I can get out of it but just wondering why it's happening. Thanks
Omg seriously? ... no, you CANT boot to stock recovery only CWM is the modified accessible to boot into so you can flash other ROMs and more. Now you have to try a system factory reset and a erase deregister(wipe data) you can try the faster method for a factory reset that is stickied here in general forum. If that doesn't work then you have to prepare a CWM to boot from a sdcard and flash a ROM from there. Read my FAQ is stickied too for farther information.
Have fun!

OK, Thanks I admit it was dumb. But just so I know, What is that button for ? "install stock recovery" and how is it used, for what purpose? You are very helpful. Thanks again
The stock recovery is so you can do a factory restore, so take veronica's advice to get a working nook back

stock recovery is the recovery that came with your device and you can't boot into it because it contains the factory restore, when you flash CWM the recovery partition containing your stock recovery is overridden by it, so if you flash your stock recovery back it will override CWM recovery and so you can't/should boot into it.
~ Veronica
I believe it is supposed to allow you to revert to stock 1.40 with all the B&N features available however I'm guessing based on Indirect's CWM flasher that the stock recovery gets knocked out and CWM takes it's place, although I could be wrong.
Veronica?
Edit: so I was kind of right.
So, If you flash stock recovery,then back out to settings and deregister device, what will happen ? Thanks

It should wipe all your data, cache, settings (/Data partition) like apps.

This just proves the point I made somewhere along the lines yesterday. Rooting and modification of any device just isn't for everyone. You MUST learn to read and comprehend what you read to move forward. There just isn't a lot more disheartening than checking the forums and seeing a thread started by someone with 5 posts asking what to do now? When in reality, you look around and you see their first posts went something like this:
1. I missed CM7 when it was posted, can someone send it to me?
2. I got CWM installed fine, but when I try to flash CM7, I get an error.
3. Nvm, I see now this isn't a flashable .zip.
4. I got CM7 booted up fine, but OMG <fill in some random app name> isn't working!!! I think I am just gonna go back to stock
5. <Welcome to this thread>
Learn to use the search function and learn to read. The last time I looked, there were 43 pages of comments in the CM7 ROM thread. (not counting those that have already been cleaned out) and I have read them all. Probably close to twice. Same with the development thread.
It is my opinion that this thread should be merged with This One as the symptoms seem the same.
With this said I can understand why some users are having issues understanding Indirect's "Recovery Flasher".
I would think that if you Restore and attempt to Reboot into Stock Recovery that the device should at a minimum reboot to the Factory Rest screen. Perhaps it should just reboot and restore the stock firmware without prompt, but either way it should not cause a boot loop, blank screen, etc.
IMO, if the "reboot recovery" button was only meant to be used while CWM was installed, then it should be greyed-out when the Stock recovery occupies the recovery partition.
(BTW.... Is it CONFIRMED that the replacement recovery is 1.4.0)?
(BTW.... Is it CONFIRMED that the replacement recovery is 1.4.0)?[/QUOTE]
It should be because it is the first version that the NT came with and the one that most people use apart of CM7.
~ Veronica
Yes the stock recovery is 1.4.0. I tested this.out a little bit ago.

Okay so I am stuck on the recovery screen. I have rebooted several times and I have ended up in the same place. I have also chosen "apply sdcard:update.zip" which failed to install. I also chose wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. I'm getting no where and I'm pretty much freaking out that I screwed up my phone. I got to this point by going to download mode and using odin. I was trying to get CWS recovery, but now that is the least of my worries. If anyone has any answers please help. Thank you
After screwing up my phone 9 total times now, this worked for me. I found cwr 3.0 plus aborted alot of things I tries to flash. I used odin to go back to cwr 2.5.1 and it allowed me to flash the files I wanted and saved my tail. ( many times ) . I also have used odin to go back to stock, then after it was working I would re root and get right back into the flash game. Now using only jt's stuff. Running Cm6 now . Hope it helps.

No problem- you'd have to do a lot more than that to brick a fascinate. Simply use Odin (You do have Odin, right?) to flash CWM and then boot directly to that and reflash the ROM you have on your SD card. No ROM on the SD card? There are several Odin packages containing a ROM, custom kernel, and CWM, all in one handy package.
See (and read) this thread for more help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048380
Okay, yeah I lost a lot of sleep that night, but I finally found a way. Yeah I did have to use Odin to get out of that mess. I went back to stock with something by Adrynalyn (is that how you spell it?)
Forgive my noobishness, but alot if this is still new to me.
My atrix is rooted and unlocked. In preparation for cm7 I decided to flash CWM and make a backup of my current stock rom.
I downloaded the rommanager app from the market and installed CWM successfully. I also used it to make a backup of the rom.
However, when I boot into recovery I get the android guy and exclamation mark. I cant do anything at this point and have to pull the battery and reboot.
What is wrong here?
try installing it again, and are you sure your phone is unlocked? does it says unlocked at the top left corner?
Yes, on reboot it say "unlocked". I installed it again from rom manager, and it told me I successfully flashed. I didnt believe at first since it only took a about 2 secs to complete, but i was able to boot into recovery. Thank for the help.. Im surprised that even worked to be honest.
Another question, lets supposed I wanted to completely remove CWM and install romracers recovery instead. How would I go about removing CWM?

I've had the same problem before. Basically, every time I restored a backup, CWM would crash. It would give me the same thing yours gave you: the Android with the Exclamation point. This could be fixed by reflashing CWM with ROM manager. If you want to install RomRacer's CWM, download the zip for it off of whatever source and out it on your internal storage. Then, from ROM manager, click on "Install ROM from SD card" or something. Choose RomRacer's zip and don't choose any of the wipe options. It should boot into recovery and flash RomRacer's recovery over the ROM manager one.
After installing custom ROMs, I no longer had this problem with the Android and the exclamation point.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Ok this is beginning to get a bit annoying. Basically ANY time I boot into recovery I get the android and exclamation point. If I go into rom manager and flash CWM again, I can reboot into recovery just fine. However, the next time I chose to go into recovery, I get the same problem android and exclamation point.
I decided to install romracers CWM. I used the fastboot method. I erased the recovery partition and flashed the image sucessfully. It rebooted and went into recovery. SAME freaking problem . Android and exclamtion point. I rebooted the phone and entered rom manager again. I attemted to flash CWM from the "FLASH from SD card" option. The phone boots into recovery. Guess what?? Same damned thing. Android and exclamation point.
one last effot, I reflash CWM recovery, then chose 'install from sd card" option and chose rom racers CWM. It boots into recovery, and claims it flashed RR's CWM. I boot into the phones OS and go back to rom manager. I notice that rom managers reports my version of CWM being the same as it ever was (The rom mgr recovery 4.1. something). I choose boot into recovery... and I know you know whats coming now. ANDROID AND!!!!!
Recovery is pointless if I have to relash CWM from rom manager everytime before I use it. If the sh*t ever hits the proverbial fan and I cant boot into the OS I am screwed.
Has anyone ever had or heard of this problem. i would like to have a recovery, that works every single time I need it.
Fastboot flash romracers recovery. That should solve your problem. And leave it alone.

Thanks for the quick reply. However,I did that already.
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When I boot into recovery, I get the Android and exclamation point. Just to make sure, I did the same thing twice. No luck.

Something is borked. Redownload the recovery and try again.

well I redownloaded Romracers CWM. This time a different file. The red version.
I uninstalled Rommgr app just because. I reboot into fastboot
erase recovery partition.
Flash the recovery image to the recovery partition
reboot and immediately boot back into recovery (without going into the phones OS).
I am greeted with the UI of RR's CWM.
I reboot my phone normally and go back into the phones OS. to test to make sure everything is good...
I reboot into recovery.... and I get android and exclamation point.
I am thoroughly confused and quite frustrated at this point.
Its like once I go into the OS of the phone I cannot sucessfully boot back into recovery.
WTF?!
For clarity's sake I'm on OTA 2.3.4 and am rooted and unlocked
Throw tour phone at the wall and slap it around to let it know who is boss. Other than that I dont know bro. Weird issue. does fastboot -w help any. You have to add erase to that command I forgot.

So how can I fix this?
My screen looks exactly like this and it doesn't give me a chance to flash cyanogenmod from the sd card.
I think my problem is similar to what is stated here: http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-all-things-root/248433-stuck-install-default-apk-file-using-rom-manager-photo.html
Do I need a new kernel? Where would I find one of those..

From what I can tell your first problem is that your in 3e recovery. I would recommend odening back to 2.1 eclair then get root access and then flash CWM. this was the best method for me

First just boot it back up and go back to that screen you posted, then re-install the packages, might need to do it twice, if that doesn't work then do a fresh install of JFD again and follow the instructions listed below, you just haven't re-installed the packages yet to get your CWM recovery green screen yet!!
Do what he says, but untick the reboot in odin, so you will have manual control of that, REASON WHY is so you can use the 3E recovery menu to clear data/reset to factory and then wipe the cache, these two things alone if not done account for alot of locking or boot looping during first initial start after a fresh flash, and is the reason why the OP's suggest to always wipe and clear, so as to remove Ghosts from the prior SW and not corrupt the data, and or especially mess with the BLdr's
Also make sure to root the phone first after your fresh install of JFD, before you install Rom Manager, then flash CWM.
Also when you go to CWM recovery the first time to re-install packages, sometime you have to do it twice, and usaully the 2nd time will get you to your green menu , and then your in business to start the process of Modding with the flavors around here!!
OK so Im on AOKP milestone 6 with the devil kernel and i went in to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache and when i pressed reboot system it goes back to recovery!!!! please help as I really don't want to reflash everything!!! Thanks.
I had this same problem until I flashed TWRP. When I rebooted, it instead loaded the OS, but it still had Devil Recovery. WTF?
Have you tried re-flashing the rom without wiping data?

Try flashing CWM recovery again using Heimdall or Odin. Once it boots into recovery, flash TWRP or another recovery of your choice, then reboot and hopefully you will see your boot animation. That's what I did to get AOKP build 40 to boot again (though strangely enough, it's stuck with Devil recovery even after flashing TWRP). Hope this helps you guys out. And be sure to make backups!

Again, how can i put twrp on my sd card if i'm stuck in recovery? Is there a link for an odin version of twrp
You should be able to mount your SD card in recovery anyway. If not, take it out and insert it into an adapter to plug into your computer. I don't know if there's an Odin version of TWRP, I flashed it in CWM recovery.
I would read droid styles guide first if you have not yet as it has all the answers you will need. You just need to read through it and following the directions.

If you're using CWM, it's under Advanced or Mounts and Storage. Plug in the USB cable like you normally would.

I try to install twrp but it says installation aborted. I'm really starting to get sick of this phone and its stability issues.
You got the zip, right? It's in the Fascinate development section of the forums.
There is nothing wrong with the phone. I don't understand why you can't just Odin back to stock and start over. With the amount of time you have been stuck in recovery you could have fixed it by now. It you could follow droid styles guide to get out of the recovery loop without going back to stock. Something tells me you really just want a new phone...am I close???

Anyway, sorry for getting snippy, I was just really tired and frustrated. I did use the .zip from the forums.
If you've already tried Heimdall-flashing CWM again, and that didn't work, then I suggest you Odin back to stock as shelby suggested. If you haven't made a nandroid already, do so, then revert back to stock and start from scratch. You can try restoring your nandroid once you're no longer stuck in recovery.

Just boot back into recovery and install zip from sdcard. You MUST have already flashed a custom recovery to be able to do this, use Philz recovery etc.
Go read the guides in stickies, make sure you fully understand before you flash, otherwise you will brick your phone.
