Hi, I was having some issues on my Nook Tablet 16gb, so I thought I would format everything (actually format every single item 3x) with the goal of having a fresh boot without issues. But then when I installed Slim Rom or any other ROM it installs them and when I hit "reboot system now" on CWM after installing the NEW Rom, it tries to load and goes to the Big N shape boot animation and then back to CWM.
What would you suggest I do?
Thanks a lot!

Don't press "reboot system now" when you want to exit recovery. Power down system then power it on again. It should boot just fine.

Your boot-loop problem might be due to invalid or missing data in /bootdata resulted from your having wiped this partition, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21381141&postcount=1. You can try restoring the data by flashing flashable_fix_bootloop.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery.

Wiping ROM seems to have the effect of triggering a recovery every boot, which if you had the stock recovery should recover all the device info stored there. I had to use a repart.img sdcard which loaded stock 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 (Search for files and guides). Then I used a CWM sdcard and put custom recovery and ROM back on.

The next likely cause of your problem is missing factory-installed device data (e.g., WiFi MAC address, security encryption keys, etc.) that are stored in /rom and /factory partitions which you stated in the OP you had wiped. Unfortunately I am not aware of any way to recover this original set of individual device specific data.
Did you try the stock files like I said before? That got my info back

Yeah I was able to use the thread by Adam to redo my tablet with the normal files for Rom through a SD card boot since the touch was not working.
Thank you, this was a great learning experience in my 5 years of playing around first time to cause a brick...

I'm glad you got it figured out this droid charge i'm on right now used to brick every time i flashed, then started working right one time I've just learned to take it easy and see about fixing things

CWM Bootloop...
Hello all!
It seems I've gotten myself into a bit of trouble with my Nook Tablet. I had been running CM7 for quite some time and finally upgraded to CM10. Very nice! However I landed myself in a CWM boot loop after about a week and have not been able to recover.
First, I attempted to recover back to BN Stock, not knowing that it would not replace CWM with stock recovery. I still have CWM and half of a stock installation (repart.img from bn_142_factory_recovery.zip). From what I understand, the stock BN software is trying to boot to recovery to complete the install, although it was in bootloop before that attempt was made.
Since then, I have tried flashable_fix_bootloop.zip as well as cwm_6.0.2.9_acclaim_recovery_sdcard.img to no avail. I fear that I may have made the mistake of formatting too many things as mentioned at the top of this thread to get into myself here in the first place. What is my next step?
Much appreciated!

You could try what I tell the poster in the topic "At wits end". In the beginning of the topic I described an easy way to make a notable COM card. You can then jump to the end of the topic and try to use my backup file. I will remove access to that file later today and I don't know if it will work at all but at least it's worth a try.

Thank you for your reply, asawi!
I've begun the download. From what I understand, this will give me a bootable MicroSD into CM10. If that is correct and it boots as it should, I can then install this image as firmware in some fashion or at least be able to repair the damage done so that I can reinstall CM10?
[Warranty is of no concern. I bought this Nook Tablet in used condition quite some time ago with intent to use CM as primary OS, hence the use of CM7 for well over a year.]

If, this works (and that's a HUGE IF), twill leave you with a tablet running CM 1O from internal memory.
It is a two step thing though with two big downloads. The one from Iamafanof will make you a bootable CM10 card. Either you can use it as it's intended, or just use it to get into CWM recovery where you can go to backup and restore and try to restore the backup I made. Unzip my file first, like I tell the other poster.
Edit:I realized I had goofed up when posting the first backup. I have now put up another download of the whole "clockworkmod" folder in my Dropbox. Link in the "at wits end" topic. but I will only leave it up for a very limited time.

Using Cyanoboot from the bootable card, I am able to boot into SDC RECOVERY. From there I swap the SD card for another containing your your backup folder, navigate to 'backup and restore'/'restore'/'2013-09-17.16.18.21'. Restore process begins okay, but fails with "Error while restoring /system!"
I then went to 'advanced restore' and attempted restoring /boot, /system, /data, /cache, and /sd-ext individually with these results:
/boot = Restore Complete
/system = Error
/data = Error
/cache = Error
/sd-ext = sd-ext.img not found, Skipping restore...

If /boot was successfully restored, that's what matters the most (please, tell me you did NOT erase /rom, because if you did, you're in a really bad situation). You don't need to restore asawi's FULL backup. If the /boot partition is functioning normally now, you should be able to boot into your internally flashed CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe system, then FLASH the ROM and gapps. You should not be experiencing the bootloops anymore (make sure to take out the SD card BEFORE rebooting to internal CWM).
Hello All,
I recently came across a rather annoying error on my Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i), after using it the phone decided to turn itself off without any warning and restarted in recovery mode without any interaction from me. I then told the phone to restart as I had no reason to be in the recovery mode, however it then began "Boot-Looping" and would not turn on, Recovery Mode and Download Mode still function as normal. After an hour of it stuck boot-looping I decided to flash a new ROM (JellyBlast V3.0.3) this completed sucessfully according to Clockworkmod, I then rebooted and it still continued to Boot-Loop. So i then rebooted and selected Wipe Data/reset. The Log showed the error I was waiting for it read as follows.
-- Wiping Data...
Formatting /data
Error mounting /data!
Skipping Format
Formatting /cache..
Formatting /sd-ext..
Formatting /sdcard/.android-secure..
Data Wipe Complete
After Seeing that it was failing to mount the data Partition I went to the Mounts and Storage Option and tried mounting the data partition there "Mount Failed"
Does anybody know why it can't mount that specific partition or how to erase the NAND and manually Re-Partition it? I've tried ODIN to no luck.
Using Linux Ubuntu 12.04LTS
Thank you for taking the time to read this
PS I've attached a photo of the Log given by CWM
Try to format with stock recovery.

Tried stock recovery aswell, as CWM isn't flashed to my device, no luck
Flash stock rom and than go to stock e3 recovery and wipe everything.

Have you use .pit file and tick repartition? If yes than you may have a hardware problem.

The problem isn't with flashing ROMs, its the internal partitions that are corrupt.

I've used the .pit and Selected Repartition, I've read on another page somewhere that you can use adb shell and then use FDISK to repair the partition as I suspect that an application I installed caused the error, howeve I keep getting "Permission Denied" despite being rooted?
U could use Droid explorer. Not sure it has the format command though... But has plenty commands may get u to have root access from adb shell may be...

Hello guys,
I have a very strange problem that noone else has because i cant find anything about it on the net.
I have a Galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod 10.2 and boeffla 2.1 stabe using twrp as recovery. I´ve set up my system and made a backup of everything. then i´ve wanted to check if the restore is working so i restored my backup. after a reboot my entyre phone was set to factory state. happened 2 times . cyanogenmod was still installed but i had to configure the entire system again. after downloading all apps i decided to install cwm instead of twrp using cwm 6.0.4.5 touch for i9300 flashing via odin 1.85. everything worked fine and i booted into recovery to make a backup. cwm then says: Error cant mount /system so i tried to mount the system via the storage option. still says cant mount /system. then i rebooted my phone and again everything was gone... im really angry because whats the point of using a backup and then everything is gonna be erased.
i hope someone can help me with this. i also would erase everything and start from zero so that everything works.
Edit:
manual factory reset shows this:
formatting data
Error mounting /data.
Error mounting /sdcard/ . android_secure!
Skipping Format
formatting cache is working
cant format sd card.
&
Cant download apps from google play because of server problems...
show log:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcb1k0p16 on/data failed: no such file or directory
W: failed to mount /dev/blockmmcb1k0p16 (file exist)
cant wipe dalvik cache
!!!phone gets resetted everytime after cwm says error cant mount /system!!!
regards
Can be closed
I´ve installed original Samsung firmware and then CWM + CM10.2 + Boeffla 2.1 again and now CWM can mount everything and the Backup also works. maybe Twrp ****ed something up. i dont know.
regards

I got the same problem with TWRP 2.8.0.0 . After an "update" to 2.7.1.1 all worked fine.
Try to flash another TWRP version.
