I've been trying to find a recovery fix short of flashing back to stock as the new version of TWRP flashed in flashify caused my device to not want to boot past the logo screen of the recovery mode for TWRP. I tried flashing the 2.8.7 version to no avail. The only recovery that partially works right now is the CM13 nightly I tried in order to factory reset and look at my options. Does anyone have any suggestions to get recovery working again?
EDIT:
fix was easier than I thought, simply factory reset in cm13 nightly, flashed 2.8.4 then 3.00 and good to go.
Had the same problem. Try removing the SD card, if you have one. That did it for me. You might have to reformat it in a computer to get it working again.

So I followed this guide to install CM10 on my nook tablet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871&postcount=1
Went great except now whenever I boot up my nook tablet it goes directly to clockwork recovery. There is currently no microsd card in the nook tablet.
I have also tried using AOKP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975214 and I have the same issue.
I also tried this build of AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641145
You should try to use SD-based CWM and flash "flashable_fix_bootloop.zip" posted at http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/category/cyanogenmod-2/.
Try this

Try this : http://www.mediafire.com/?4s77jvehqvsuruu
1)Download it
2)put the files ( flashing.boot Mlo etc...) on your sdcard,
3)completely turn off your nook ,
4)put your sd card on nook and turn it on.
5) press the ''N'' button when you see ''cyaogenboot'' (it also saids press ''n'' button for BOOT MENU)
6) in Boot Menu just choose option #1 (Internal Boot) it should boot into cm10
I had the same issue, but after a time (after making some supid things) i bricked my tablet, I figured this out with some help, It worked for me so it should work for you too.
So I was able to randomly boot into the bootloader and boot into CM but now it keeps rebooting into clockwork.
I have also attempted installing CM10 using the following link including using the flashable_fix_bootloop.zip that I cannot sadly can't link to due to being a new user
and the only difference is that now CWM went from blue accents to orange.
The function of flashable_fix_bootloop.zip is to reset BootCnt counter and BCB flag (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21381141&postcount=1) in the event they do not get reset properly in some installation/recovery process. It seems that your "recovery boot-loop problem" might have a different underlying root-cause, hence re-setting these counter+flag by itself will not cure the problem.
Which particular build version of CM10 and AOKP ROM did you try?
Also, did you do "wipe data & factory reset" & "wipe cache" as part of the ROM installation?
Have you tried reflashing the ROM once you're in CWM? (As I underestand you may have, but just making sure!)
Maybe download it again (or try another one) and the flash it again (after the usual wipes) with your new recovery.
I took your advice and attempted to reflash. I did a factory reset, wiped the cache, then installed cm_acclaim_10.1_21APR2013_17_HD.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and I have the same problem. I continue to boot back into CWM

When you boot from the SD card have you tried holding down 'n' to get to the menu then selecting SDC boot? It should boot cm10.1. Try selecting SDC recovery also and see what it does. You might be doing something wrong during the process.
You can also try renaming your boot file for cm10.1 to altboot. Then try it.
I am not attempting to boot off of SD, I am trying to install the zip files that are stored on SD to the internal memory. Holding down the "n" button just brings up CWM as it did before. I also downloaded an image designed to be booted off SD and renamed it to altboot like you suggested and it booted directly into CWM again.

May be nothing, but what version of CWM do you have on your NT, will be at the top of the screen in recovery?

6.0.3.1

Still may be a shot in the dark, but try downgrading CWM to an earlier version, but not so early as to be unable to flash CM10. Maybe 6.0.2.5 to 6.0.2.9
Not ensuring this will work but it may be worth a shot. At least it won't put you in any worse condition than what you are in now.
Good Luck
Another thought, did you make a backup of your last ROM before flashing CM10? If you did I would assume you tried flashing your backup already, but have to ask.
It looks like you may have used two different builds of CWM based on one of your earlier posts - change of font color.
You also try the repart image if you don't have a stock backup. Find it on raywaldo site. It will re write your internal storage with stock ROM. Then flash cm afterward.
Woot I got the factory rom reinstalled, time to install cynogenmod again
I had the same problem
This worked:

However I was still unable to install any 4.2.2 ROMs + gapps.
I was on cwm 6.0.2.8 (or whatever the exact numbers are)
updated to cwm 6.0.3.7
wipe data
install rom
install gapps
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
everything works now.
Installed latest CM10 nightly. Now just sits at boot animation. Attempted to restore. Backups gone. All other ROMS gone for SD card. Can get into recovery, but am lost at that point. Tried clearing cache several times through fastboot. Have no clue how to use adb to sideload. Rate myself as an almost noob. Any help appreciated.

I'm in the same boat, stuck at the CM boot animation. How did you get back to recovery? I hold the power button and the home and back buttons flash and that's it.
Edit: The whole "hold the phone up to a bright light while holding the power button" trick did the job. I was flashing from Android Revolution to CM10.1 and I did perform a factory reset and sideloaded CM through CWM. After another wipe everything worked out fine.
Are you coming from another rom? If so, did you factory reset after flashing ?

Im assuming based on his post he is not coming from another rom and has been flashing CM nightlies regularly and this latest flash was done per routine but is not working for some reason.
I updated the latest 6-23 nightly and its working fine so far, sorry to hear about your issues.

I dirty flashed the latest nightly as well, no issues.
Hey guys,
I was just wondering what the general consensus is on which recovery is the most preferred.
I was using TWRP 2.6, but that gave me problems (being stuck on samsung logo everytime my phone rebooted). Reverted back to 2.5.0.2 and it seems to work fine so far. I did try CWM in the past but for some reason my boot loader would get locked and I would have to ODIN back to stock.
So what's your preferred recovery and why?
Thanks.

I like TWRP. It works well with the new phone and Roms that are coming out plus it is so easy to use. Never liked CWM very much. You did right by reverting to an older version of TWRP I had to do that once.
TWRP... i don't even consider anything else.
Do you guys know why my phone gets stuck on the samsung logo everytime i restart my phone?
Doesn't matter what ROM i use it always happens....
Did you do a factory reset, system wipe, preload wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe? Or try fix permissions from recovery?
If not, go do all of those.
If that doesn't work, something is missing from the system partition that is keeping it from booting. Which means you deleted it. :good:

I did ALL of those, still have the problem.
So.... I just ODIN-ed back to stock and going to root and basically re-do everything -_-
Been using twrp since rooting note II. I wanted to try out 4.4 PA but they said to only use cwm. It was late so I decided to be lazy and since I used to use rom manager all the time I installed it to flash cwm recovery then booted into recovery to install touch version. It wasn't showing the touch version so selected to restart to check to see where I saved it to it would not boot past the first "note II" splash screen. Battery pull then back into recovery and went ahead and flashed PA 4.4 and now it will get past the splash screen then shows boot animation but then starts all over.
Is this a rom manager issue?
can I flash twrp from within cwm recovery?
will I have to basically reroot it?
Any suggestions on how to get back to twrp and to a usable phone?
thanks
If you download a .zip of twrp and flash it you will have twrp for your recovery.
As long as you flash a rooted rom, you will be rooted.
Not sure what happened with the boot loop, did you by chance wipe the system without flashing another before booting?

Nope did my standard wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and factory reset then flashed rom then gapps. Going to go back to twrp and wait for 4.4 to be more stable before I try it out again and maybe then I can use twrp to flash it.
thanks for the help

Have you wiped data at all? You need to wipe data / factory reset when switching roms, and it sounds like you havent.

As stated above, on both cwm and twrp I wiped caches and did factory reset and still having the issues. Once back on twrp I even formatted internal memory thinking maybe rom manager messed something up on it and still can't get passed the splash screen.

Copy a ROM to your SD card (external not internal)
Install cwm and format data (actually full format, where /data/media gets wiped) and system
Install rom
Reboot
TWRP has some issues randomly with corrupting /data, that's why I no longer use it.

Finally got it. Thought using odin to flash back to root 66 and start fresh would work but after that it was still going to the splash screen then black and a battery pull had to be done. TWRP back ups would fail when trying to restore, so I reverted back to an older version of twrp and it finally let a back up be installed and it booted up just fine!!
thanks for all the suggestions
Im having a similar problem to yours, I am using twrp and flashed PA 3.99 the phone works great, but if my battery dies or i restart the phone or shut it down it automatically wont get passed the samsung logo, or sometimes the PA logo, the only work arounds ive seen to it is to wipe the cache and dalvik to boot, but when that fails i have to install the whole rom over again. any ideas?
Maybe someone can help me here. Using TWRP 2.8.0.1 I am unable to fully install any rom.
I had slimkat on my phone and decided I wanted to try regular CM 11. So I wiped everything in advanced wipe so I could start fresh.
Put the Rom and Gapps on my phone then tried to flash.
However while installing CM, it just goes about its business until the progress bar hangs at updating partition details.
It also appears I cannot move files to the internal memory from the sd card.
Are my partitions messed up?
All that happens now is getting stuck at the samsung boot logo or rebooting into TWRP...
Any help?

Yes partitions could be mixed up but my first port of call would be to return to stock with odin and if that boots and works then start again and don't use twrp try PhilZ recovery.
If partitions are corrupt there are things you can try but I would first try to get your phone to boot then report back.

Thanks for your help! Because of you I tried PhilZ, which then told me it couldn't successfully open/read the rom from the SD card. (Something twrp didn't tell me).
I then changed my SD card for another one I had laying around and it worked. (Strange the old one failed since I formatted it atleast a few times)
Once again, thanks for your tip!
This is now solved!
