I have been at this for 3 days any help would be great.
Anything installed runs until shutdown and then is gone after reboot - like it is restoring itself every time to CM7.
Can't run ADB becuase install of TGPS_Launcher.apk causes screen flicker cannot select anything to install on nook.
Goo manager -rebbot recovery - downloaded various roms- boots to CM7
Installed CWM - gone on reboot - boots to CM7
Tried reflashing variations of CM - istallation goes too quickly but says complete - but CM7 is back on reboot.
Tried AdamOutlers method looked to run fine - performed as expected - rebooted to CM7
Tried RayWaldo repart got green check mark - took sd out and it boots to CM7.
Tried to revert to stock BN - via SD and direct download - no dice.
Someone said reflash partitions 5, 6, 7 any suggestions on how to do that without adb. I'm not good with Linux but am willing to try if there are some instructions somewhere.
Getting desperate here...
I have the same problem since April. Still no solution. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879942
Nevertheless, you can run Android from sdcard

You need to provide more details before anyone can help with suggestion: i.e., which version of CM7 do you have and which version of CWM (release no.? emmc or sd based?) you used to flash new CM, etc.

Hey everyone, my problem is genuinely mind blowing.
- I installed ROM Manager
- I flashed CWM Recovery
- Rebooted into CWM Recovery
- Downloaded CM7 and proceeded with the installation.(checked the cache wipe options too)
- It goes down to installing and...gets stuck. Nothing happens. It just says "installing update" or something similar.
My OS is ICS 4, is this the problem?
Also, is it absolutely necessary to have a micro SD inserted? I believed it could be done without one, but couldn't.
UPDATE: it somehow installed now, but it hangs at the boot screen. What is this about?
Thanx.
you have to atleast 2 or three times flash to get it worked
Thanx.
I eventually managed to brick it, so had to reinstall ICS
I believe this thread can be locked.
for your Notice :
In future Rom manager is not advisible for a smooth operations on the SGS2, it is highly recommended to use rooting kernels like CF-root for rooting the phone, it will provide CWM as well.
Recently decided to try and switch over to CM10, and have been having an issue with recovery. Both of the latest CWM and TWRP recoveries freeze for me after booting into them. The only recovery that works for me is the one that is flashed with the old app by Indirect but that flashes a really old CWM recovery. The recoveries that I have tried flashing are the ones linked to in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 thread. Both http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc.zip and http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/TWRP_v2.3.1.1_emmc.zip are doing it. I have a 16GB that ive kept (rooted) stock forever.
What happens is i go to boot to recovery, go through cyanoboot to recovery, and then CWM freezes up and blackscreens after I try to wipe something or install a zip, TWRP just locks up immediately and gives me a black screen. Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Use this thread to install CWM, I'm not a fan of TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25786947 I used this and had no problems updating

This has been happening to me occasionally. I have found that when I get the black screen, pressing the Power button launches Recovery (CWM in my case). See if that works for you.
I now have the exact same problem. I've always ran off emmc. It says cwm 6.0.1.5 is installed. When I try to either wipe, or install zip-from-sd, cwm freezes then goes to the black screen. I cannot install any zips, so right now the tablet has nothing installed only a freezing cwm recovery it seems. I can use the power button to get out of the black screen and into cwm thru cyanoboot all day, but get nothing but these same steps reoccurring. Freeze, then black sod. I'm ready to try anything but cannot flash anything.
To the rescue
Ok, I have posted this on a different day. Try this with a blank sd card. Look at the bottom post called "Here is a video"
It a external boot cwm v.5 but you can copy this into your sd then flash and you have cwm v6.0.1.5 internal. Either way you have two ways to do recovery (external and internal):victory:

Thanks very much for the reply & link!
I'll do this ASAP when I get back home & report. Thx again!

Well, I think I need to clarify more. Maybe somebody can help if I give more info. I've had cm7 running perfect, then decided to install cm10. I first flashed a cwm 6.0.1.5 zip to emmc. I did a factory reset via this recovery thinking my next move would be to flash the cm10 zip I'd put on the sd. No joy. This is where I'm at now.
In recovery it freezes and reboots to the "2 androids" screen with a sod. I hold power for 20 sec.s to turn off, then turn back on and get to cyanoboot fine. There, if it's allowed to just boot it freezes at the 2 androids. If I hold "n" to get the menu and recovery (6.0.1.5) it looks normal, will boot to recovery OK until anything is selected like the cm10 zip. It freezes before any selections can be finalized, and boots to that sod screen.
I know nothing of ubuntu! Sorta scared to go there with my limited knowledge. But will read up if it's required. Is it possible that this new recovery image don't play with what is currently on the sd? Is there anything I can put there that it may recognize in order to get a flash? Man, I'm lost!
Look pass the fear and go one step at a time, before you know it, your there.
It looks like you have already resolved this from this thread.
Ok, basically I'll go step by step.
1. Download ubuntu iso from ubuntu website (you can donate or put 0$ then download iso) and burn it to cd. 5 minutes
2. Stick the cd into a system that you don't plan to look at the video that is showing you the process and boot it up from a reboot and not from within windows. Select the left square which basically load the ubunbu from cd but does not install anything to your hard drive.3 minutes
3. You can view the whole video but I would skip to the section in video (3:28 watch to 4:43, 6:56 watch to 8:06 ) where I mentioned the setting the two flags in your sd after quick format fat32 and extracting the four files into your sd within ms windows platform from the post . I did this with a normal mini sd card adapter and not the usb stick adapter he used in the video. Since you are doing this to a blank mini sd then there really nothing to worry about since it is blank in the first place. 2 minute
4. If you had your apps backup with titanium backup then it still will be on the main mini sd and not the one that working with for this recovery.
5. I notice you did not mention wipe dalvik cache from your post. You should always wipe dalvik then wipe factory then do a single flash to test boot up.. You can flash gapps after a successful boot up into jellybean. (here's a video showing that I'm using external cwm v.5 even though its recommended to use v.6 .) You can always use cwm v.6 on your next cm10 test rom or use cwm v.6 to reflash to same rom once a successful boot up have been obtained with external cwm v.5. This purpose is to get it running on your nt.
6. Be patient for the first boot. Should not be more than 5 minutes max. It will look black then load. If it boot loops then wipe dalvik then wipe factory and do a single flash to test boot up again.
This will at least get cm 10 flavored rom on to your nt.

Got it back! Thank you for your help & patience. Also for the timely responses. I now have a bootable "recovery sd card" for curing these type problems. I've labeled it & filed away for any future borks of this kind! And I have cm10 up & running stable.
Thank you!

I just rooted my Nook Tablet.
After rooting it I made the mistake of installing cm10.1.2 without wiping first. My first issue was that it stuck on the cm loading gif. I figured out I could get into recovery by holding the power and home button and do a factory reset which let me boot up fully, but it had a weird screen glitch right before the cm loading gif.
So, now I have all my problems. I want to make whatever I did clean so I don't have any issues come up in the future. First of all I can't get Google Apps set up. None of the APKs work for it. To counter this I tried to get Rom Manager installed directly from the CW website but within Rom Manager it tells me I need the latest version in order to download any roms.
To make things worse I cannot seem to get into recovery mode. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode I get the screen that says I need to reboot my tablet and if the problem persists I need to contact B&N support.
What I'd like to do is somehow get ROM Manager working and install a fresh version of CM with a data/cache wipe and then I feel like it would work but if anybody knows a better way to do it or what please let me know.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for pointers on how to flash CM10 internally on emmc.
If you prefer to stick with pure CM10.1.2, just use its ROM zip file in step 2(c) but in which case you'll also need to flash CWM recovery separately (e.g., flashing flashable_CWM_6.0.2.x.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery).
Thanks for the link. I followed his steps as close as i could and everything seems to be working flawlessly.
I have Samsung Vibrant T959. Currently has clockworkmod 6.0.3.6 .
I'm trying to install the latest unofficial cyanogenmod 11, which will install kitkat 4.4.4, however I run into the error message "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" . According to my research all I need to do to solve it is update clockworkmod to a version of at least 6.0.4.5 .
I've searched all over, most sources point towards using rom manager, but this is not working. Rom manager seems to think the latest version is 2.5.1.2. The official clockworkmod site also lists 2.5.1.2 as the latest version for my phone.
So how do I upgrade this clockworkmod so that I can install kitkat? I know others have done it, but I can't find any info how.
Thanks.
I just installed Sada's 4.4.4 today (coming from the official CM 11 [4.4.2]) and what I did was go into CWM and install the rom (which will fail). During the process it will install CWM 6.0.4.9. Reboot. Now you will have 6.0.4.9.
FYI - I had to reformat the internal SD card to get the 4.4.4 install to stick. (factory reset and clearing caches wasn't enough and would throw errors on first boot)
-Mike
Thanks for the advice. Thats the exact thing I was doing. Coming from latest official Cyanogenmod, to the latest unofficial.
So I did exactly what you said, tried to install, it failed, rebooted straight from recovery back into recovery, and I indeed had clockworkmod 6.0.4.9.
So I did the install again, it worked, installed the minimal gapps, but I did not format the SD card. I figured I would try without it first.
Well upon booting I couldn't get past the first screen of the setup wizard, it would just crash. Had a very difficult time getting back into recovery mode, as the typical 3 button combo wouldnt work, but finally figured out a way by sheer luck and experimentation (hold volume down, and power, and plug in a usb cord. Keep the buttons held for about 30 seconds, then release the power button while still holding volume down, after 10 seconds it would go to recovery)
So I did the format of the internal SD card as well, but no luck, the wizard still crashes. Ended up just restoring my old nandroid. I wonder if there was anything else you did different than me. Perhaps different Gapps?
Hello, i will try to be thorough.
BUT, i am a noob and didnt write down everything i did.
Have a I717 at&t note 1. with the 4.1.2 update originally OTA installed by keis.
I recently rooted it using Saferoot. it went well and i didnt see any problems. i flashed a custom rom and didnt like it so using clockworkmod recovery i went back to the 4.1.2. I then tried pac lollipop >pac_quicyatt_lp.beta-1.unofficial_20150327< i liked this rom but needed to flash Gapps.
This is where the trouble started. i didnt/dont know the proper procedure to flash the Gapps on top of or into the rom.
I first tried >gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip< and it looked like it loaded correctly. but nothing appeared in the phone. the pac rom was still working well.
I then did more research and tried >gapps-lp-20150222-signed.zip< , again it looked like it loaded well but nothing showed up "in" the phone.
right here is where things got screwy. i had been using clorkworkmod for recovery and rebooting. and i think somewhere in developer settings i clicked something about how rebooting is handled.
because after trying to install the Gapps it went into Cyanogen recovery... and loops.
no matter what i do it goes back to cyanogen recovery.
I never knowingly installed cyanogen and dont know why it all of a sudden is going into cyanogen recovery over and over.
a list of things that may have bearing:
1. i tried reinstalling the pac rom. it loads and completes but it still just goes to recovery.
2. tried different ways of clearing cache and data wipes.
3. computer, kies, and odin 3.09 do not recognize phone.
4. have proper drivers on computer. phone was previously recognized by kies and cpu (4.1.2).
5. currently the only way to get anything into phone is by pulling sd card and reinstalling with info on it then using cyanogen recovery.
6. i have searched for about 11 hours and tried a bunch of things. but just restarts in cyanogen recovery
7. i was scared to fully try things i found that wernt specifically for the i717.
8. i could not find an original gingerbread rom. they all seemed fishy (needed downloaders. or ended in .zip.rar)
9. had backed up with clockworkmod and with titanium recovery (while in 4.1.2).
I dont know if i can reach the clockworkmod save through cyanogen recovery.... if so it seems like a great option.
10. at the bottom of the screen while loading rom is.... ---->>> E: cannot load volume /misc
11. only pac rom will successfully re-flash (even though it still just goes back to cyanogen). any other flash and it crashes halfway through.... i then restart and it just loops back to cyanogen recovery.
I searched here and tried the five recommended posts.
I could not try a lot of the "fixes" because the phone isnt recognized by cpu or odin (computer does beep when connected but doesnt show up anywhere).
Can you help me get back my phone please?
