Alright then. Does the sdcard work on the stock rom/other devices?
About your comment of throwing you device away:
Why throw device away if CM does not install on it?

thanks for the answer
with sdcard, i mean the internal sdcard
so it is impossible to install any rom

So you can't install stock from SDE?
Have you tried the "reformat device" option inside SDE? If you are going to try it, remember to have stock rom ready. The tablet will ask it after formatting.

hm, i havent tried to install stock, because i thought that this will be the same as installing CM
i will have a look at this

So was the install of stock successful? I think you should get the stock working before trying other custom ROMs.
And after getting the stock back, then to check other roms.
Bootloop? ROM starts loading and then boots again? Hmm... As its stock-based ROM, it shouldn't do that when you are coming from stock.
Get the stock working, and then format your /data from SDE.

SDE is the only official recovery. The CWM functioned like a small custom ROM. Did you also try the reformat device option?

Yes, new rom replace all things
well since you have already done factory reset (and lost all your data) no point in whats written below
But if it happens next time and you want to preserve data, please mention if you are running an odexed/deodexed rom. Someone nice here can upload the file(s) you need and you can push them to your phone using adb

Yes stock rom will always be odexed. to check you can go to app or framework folder in system/ and see if you have corresponding odex files for apk or jars.
Edit: Also a suggestion. Don't flash mods that do not specefically say that they are for odexed roms (if you are on stock). For brightness control you can use lux brightness free from market. it gives you control on how much brightness you need
One guy from local forum gave me a restore zip file. Any ideas how can i push it on phone, if it loads only in cwm and download mode?

Returning to stock experience from CM9

I know I just have missed the thread and/or I am not searching for the correct words, but could someone help me find how to restore a rooted nook Tablet running CM9 alpha.05 to the out of box user experience?
My recovery is twrp 2.2 and I'm not very familiar with it or even cwm for that manner in how to restore and unroot.
Any and all help is very much appreciated and sorry for posting this if there is another thread somewhere.

Well since you have a custom recovery the only way you can get to stock is to use adamoitlers total wipe flash back to stock and root from there. You could try flashing some stock recovery but it is a bit risky IMO.

Yes, After flashing cm7 and gaaps,wipe and re-boot I'm in bootloop. For now I am running cm7 off sd card fine, but hope to fix internal ? Also, while in cmw from sd card, I get the error message after flashing "can't mount E recovery". There is probably the culprit ?
I'm not sure to be honest. Try flashing a different rom and see if you can boot.
You could also flash the zip for internal clockworkmod if you like, via the sdcard clockworkmod.

Thanks for the help thus far, but none of the above work. I also tried the repart.img from Raywaldo tutorial and it doesn't finish.I also tried AdamOutler wipe/ubunto method and it gets stuck at writing zeros to mlo. The roms seem to flash ok, but can't boot into it without a loop. I suspect partitions are messed up if someone can point me in the right direction. So it looks like TWRP caused this when reverting to cm7 from cm9 Thanka again

The first method worked for me, although I did flash a clean CM7 install instead of 1.4.2 at the end.
Also, you shouldn't need to make a.CWM sd card, since you can reach recovery.
Just download "acclaim_update.zip" from XDA and then go in and navigate to "updater_script" which is located in "META-INF/com/google/android/" edit the first two lines and where it says "blaze" change to "acclaim" on both lines and update your zip file or rezip it whatever you do and you can now flash it in CWM or TWRP.

I'd recommend getting something like notepad++ as notepad will not display the file very cleanly, and wordpad will add extra characters. Extract the file out of the zip, to say your desktop. Open it with notepad++. Edit what you like, save the file. Drag it back into the original place in the zip. Winrar will update the file in the zip. Make sure you extract the file though, if you try opening it directly from the zip, you're just going to be working on a temp copy of the file.
If you suspect that your partitions are messed up there are some threads about repartitioning. You can follow them up until you're supposed to start changing partitions to see if yours are the same as what their original ones were.
Can you boot the internal recovery still? I've seen a few posts about the CWM that come with CM7 and CM9 not being compatible with the other version. Perhaps try Indirect's Flasher.
Next time though, you should ask your question in a new thread since it's not really on topic with the OP and thread topic. Your question refered to a bootloop... The OP referred to returning to stock. By keeping the threads on topic to their content, it helps make searching easier for other people who may need the help.
Yes, notepadd++ --> On its menu, go to edit, and then to Eol Conversion to choose between :
windoze - cr/lf - od/oa ( hex )
unix - - lf - oa
mac - - cr - od
.
( of course ) we want the second choice...

I did the exact same thing with rom manager on the NT. :< There should be big flashing warning signs that say "DONT DO THIS IF YOU'RE TIRED"
I wound up having to ADB to the device, completely wipe the partition table with gdisk, then rebuild it. However, the scripts to acutally format it werent avaliable anymore (Dropbox account was banned) so I then had to use the Ubuntu restore method to go from there.
I did loose the ability to run the B&N Factory ROM (wont pass registration anymore)
but at least the tablet is useable.
Dont give up, from what I understand, unless you physically BREAK the tablet in some way, its nearly always recoverable!

Personally. I wouldnt mess with Rom Manager. That's what bricked my tablet, too.
Just make an SD card with the CWM bootables (I posted a link in your other post about noob questions) and install roms/etc from there.
I think that's what's killing my gnex!
*This Jedi master be a Ninj-ESS*
hrm i missed it? (the other thead link to bootable cym)? i did try to repartition once on another bootable build but the cym did not like it... even after reinserting it
i had that problem before because i accidently formatted the 1gb user partition while in cm7...
this link saved me. try it out!

[Q] CWM Recovery on Galaxy Player 4.2 {Related to No WiFi}?

Hello there guys so I'm here because I did a very silly mistake related to the CWM for the Galaxy Player 4.2 (Or at least that's what I think I did ).
Related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39344227
Anyway I'm not familiar with CWM since the Galaxy Player 4.2 is my first Android device ( And is not like the device has been easy on us right ), my device is rooted and the problem is that I already got the Kernel on my device and as expected I'm without WiFi. How can I configure the CWM Recovery without WiFi, if not, how can I get WiFi back?.
Sorry for bothering with dummy questions/mistakes and thanks in advance .

Can I flash the fix without CWM, for example with Odin?. I'm having a really hard time here, since I was dumb enough to install the Kernel without configuring the CWM before or at least making sure I could do it without the WiFi. Now the problem is when I want to flash with Rom Manager it says I need the recovery since I'm not a premium but again in order to get the recovery I need WiFi internet :/.

Wow it's the first time I see somebody having more problems with CWM than odin (no offense). Actually all you need to do is to put the patch into your device and then boot into CWM. Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.
I'd like to know if flashing the kernel with CWM will make loose data, apps and preferences ? Thanks.

/sdcard/.android_secure is the directory of the download of big apps (for example apps like nova or subway surfers I think) Cache has been backed up. Don't worry, all your things has been backed up.

Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.

Man, I feel so stupid right now . I managed to run the CWM boot now when I try to install the zip the update. Says:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Maybe I should tell you everything I did just in case.
I had the device already rooted.
Flashed the kernel
Installed the CWM v5.0.2.7
Transfered the Fix zip to sdcard
then I did everything you said and also tried to disable verification and still failed.
Sorry to be bothering U_U.
Ok I finally fixed everything... It was my external sd after all, it wasn't functioning properly. Tried with another Sd card and now it's working. Thanks you for your patience and help

/sdcard/.android_secure is the directory of the download of big apps (for example apps like nova or subway surfers I think) Cache has been backed up. Don't worry, all your things has been backed up.

So I suppose that I've no such apps, as I don't have any .android_secure directory in /
Also, cwm backup seems to ignore backup of boot.image and recovery image. There is not even an error or warning message.

[Q] [MIUI] How to Upgrade MIUI without loosing data?

Hi everyone
I've downloaded and installed MIUI v5 4.1.3 and today it says I should upgrade to a new version. and I prefer to upgrade because of some bugs.
after I click the version in updater app, it says you should reboot your phone and continue it from CWM.
when I reboot and installing it from CWM suddenly it crashes, and the dead android image appear on the background. after rebooting the device it's still on the pre-version.
How I should upgrade this ROM without loosing any data and app?

Flash Philz recovery go to advanced backup data only,then full wipe, then flash new rom and finally restore data.

Not necessary but you may have problems! When I say full wipe use Philz install a new rom settings in Wipe/Data/Factory Reset menu the second option clean to install new rom.This will leave your internal and external SD cards alone.

another silly question, should I do all of these steps on my external SD or I can install new ROM from Internal SD?

You can install from internal because PhilZ recovery does not wipe internal card (unless you ask it to) but I would recommend installing all roms from external in-case for some inexplicable reason your internal gets wiped you would then have no rom to install
When ever you need to update or install new roms always keep on external sd card thats best practice.
If this is OTA Update you just need to go into recovery and try manual updation using install from a file. Goto internal sd card 》 miui 》 and select the file which just came during updation. You can recognize by version number.
If this is zip file dowloaded then it better to have backup first using the TWRM or philz recovery in external sd card. Then flash the zip.
The reason being the update script might have lines of code to format the data/cache/system/delvick. Which in turn you will loose your data after updation.
Note again backup using recovery on external card can help you recover you stuff any time

From the screen shot it looks its trying to patch the old ROM with some exisitng library. It failing because may be the lib expecting does not exists or belongs to different version on ROM file.
It tough to to corelate the stuff which is mention in Updater script. You might need to take a look on this file and verify its action against the existing system. Take a look on zip file >> META-INF >> com >> google >> android >> updater-script.

Your using a older version of PhilZ recovery try this one >> http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300 << if it still persists try downloading rom update again it may be a corrupt file.
