[Q] Booting issues - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I'm having some serious booting issues on my touchpad running CM7. I always seem to get this error when I start it up:
Selected: 'boot CyanogenMod'
Loading '/boot/uImage.CyanogenMod'...OK
Checking uImage...Invalid Data CRC
BOOT FAILED!
Press SELECT to continue
, or on anything else I want to boot.
Then I have to do a power + home button restart a whole bunch of times before it successfully boots into webOS/CM7. This is a procedure I have to go through every time I turn on this device, so you can imagine it takes me anywhere from 5-10 minutes to finally get into the home screen.
I do however can see this coming, on that initial moboot screen, there is a dashed green line that randomly appears at times; this is an indication that the boot will fail. Also sometimes it goes through to booting android, but then boot loops back to moboot then displays that message again that I mentioned above.
To fix this I've been trying to avoid a full re-installation of CM7 but I've wiped the cache many times and did a full wipe back when this problem started.
Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks.

When you wiped the cache, did you get the dalvik, too?

Yes I wiped the dalvik as well, but all that does is make the initial boot longer (when I manage to get it to successfully boot that is).

Did you try to reinstall/re flash CM7? You don't lose anything by doing that, and you could do it right from Clockwork recovery. Maybe something got messed up in the installation and reinstalling it would fix it.

Will give it a shot and let you guys know. Thanks for the input. Also one more question, do you guys go through the same thing at all? Or are all your initial boots successful straight to the home screen like any other Android device. Thanks again.

Sounds like you either have corruption on /boot filesystem or faulty
hardware.
I would try running webOS doctor and then re-installing moboot/CM/etc.
with ACMEInstaller. This should not require a reinstall of apps, etc.
If you still have the same after that, then you probably have some bad
hardware.

Ok so I did the suggestion of jcsullins. Did webOS doctor with latest version (3.0.5) and re-installed moboot. A funny thing happened though, after the installation of moboot, the cyanogen and clockwork settings did not show up on the moboot menu, only the webos, recovery for it, shutdown and reboot. This was fixed with another re-installation of moboot. Long story short, everything seems to be fixed, my data and settings are in tact, and I just turned it off and on (not reboot) 6 times now with each initial boot being successful. Just posting this to thank you guys and for anyone else in the future that may have this problem. Thanks again!

same problem with moboot disappearing after the update. ive reinstalled moboot three times and still cant get the menu to display the cyanogen or clockwork options.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
edit: ended up adding moboot, the original CWM, and the latest XRON build and running ACME Installer and all is well. Just cant install preware to the touchpad since i used webdoctor to install the latest update.

[Q] [Bricked] autonooter... Will not reflash stock rom

Well here goes, I already reflashed the stock rom once from autonooter. 8 reboots then the stock rom becomes reflashed... Well in an attempt to return to stock 1.0 and install the updated autonooter I seem to have bricked my nook.
I can force reboot the nook 8 times and then the system update installed successfully... So it seems (progress bar reaches the end and nook reboots) but the splash screen is not stock! It runs the nook dev splash screen and will not boot. It will bootloop over and over. I tried another system reflash but same thing. What can I do?
Is it possible to run the autonooter sd card image ? Any other ideas?
Thanks
You need to wipe the NC. Power off. Hold power and home until it wipe screen appear. It might start wiping automaticlly or you may need to press home continue. Don't remember.
The 8 boot method is only half of the system wipe process. You still need to wipe /data. Steps to do that are at: http://nookdevs.com/Flash_back_to_clean_stock_ROM
It worked! Thanks
I could have sworn I did that several times. I had to hold both the power and nook button until the unit shut off. Then on the next boot attempt it gave me a data wipe option. Tricky little unit

[Q] Stuck in bootloop

I recently updated my Touchpad to AOKP build 38 (from build 36 or 37, can't remember) via TWRP (wiped cache, dalvik and system) and rebooted, and it's now stuck in a bootloop. It seems like it shows moboot or something for a fraction of a second but I am not able to select what I want to boot to (all I have been able to catch on this screen before it's gone is that it says "loading boot image: cyanogenmod"), then it shows an old cyanogenmod logo (I ran cm7 and possibly cm9 for a little while before AOKP), then it just loops the AOKP boot animation until the battery dies or I hold the power and bottom button to reboot, in which case it starts this loop again. I assume wiping the system partition was where I went wrong? Anyone know what I can do from here to fix this?

I think the WebOS doctor method is your only chance.
Start from scratch. You will lose all your data but it is better than having a shiny paperweight. :cyclops:
You won't lose your data after you doctor. You'll only have to reinstall moboot (with Acmeinstaller). I've done it twice already. Your android files should all be there.
Thanks guys, I'll give that a shot when I get a chance.

[Q] Nook HD+ CM10.1 Boot Loop

Hello,
Earlier today i successfully installed CM10.1 on my new Nook HD+ tablet. After setting up CM10.1 and installing some basic apps i restarted the Nook and it is now stuck in a loop at the Cyanogenmod start up screen. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks guys!
I had this same issue. I made a titanium backup of everything, and then reinstalled cwm, cm 10.1, and emmc ovation. I used titanium to restore and now it resets just fine.

Same here...
I had the same issue. I went in and cleared the cache then reboot and it was fine. My issue now is it'll randomly reboot on its own and sit at the Cyanogen circle boot up but won't boot up. Anyone else?
I booted into recovery and wiped dalvik cache and the othe cache and it booted fin out of recovery but when i would attempt to reboot it normally it would still be stuck in a boot loop...I just factory reset it and it seems to be working fine now *fingers crossed*!
still no go...
I tried that too and it still reboot randomly. Thought that was fixed with latest version
I had the same problem. This is what I did. In the recovery menu I did a wipe / factory reset. Then installed CM and Google apps again. After that I did another wipe / factory reset. After that I rebooted. No more random reboots and no more boot loops. I hope this helps.
trouble restart
Just got a Nook HD+ on the 26. installed CM10.1. every time I turn off or restart the Nook, For the first 3 times, it would stuck at the fast spinning CM logo. I would have to long press the Power button to turn it off, then turn it back on. For the 4th time it would boot without any problem. same thing with boot into recovery, the first 3 times it would ignore my N+down press, only on the 4th attempt. Not sure why, but that's what I found out. I dont see any random reboot yet. Have not try to reinstall CM10.1. Will do that when I have more time. Anyone else with a newly bought Nook care to sound in?
Very similar problems for me, though I don't know if it's exactly every fourth time that it boots properly.
I did a factory reset, re-flashed everything, and it worked perfectly for a couple of days. Then yesterday, a random reboot, and it got stuck at the CM boot animation. It rebooted properly on the second or third try. I just rebooted it manually, and it worked fine again.
I really like this tablet, but I'm seriously thinking of returning it because of this problem. It seems like it could become completely unusable if it gets worse.
CM 10.1 Boot Loop CWM non responsive
I have the same issue. I used powered up and used Volume Down>Menu and it rebooted my Nook HD+ to back to the original Nook OS. Weird because when installed I deleted factory defaults like the instructions said before flashing. Anyway, now when I hold volume down>Menu on boot it come up Black screen with warning telling me it will delete all my documents and reset to factory. Will this wipe the CM 10.1 OS totally? Is there a way for me to get my CM 10.1 back without going through and making a boot image again and reinstalling from starch? CWM dose not seem to be working or am I using the wrong method to booth into CWM on my Nook HD+?

What you are seeing is stock recovery (I assume you mean you held n and power on boot, there is no menu button). You must not have successfully flashed the CWM or TWRP recovery to internal memory. That reset to factory it will just wipe your data, not remove the ROM. It will cause you to reinstall your apps though.
If you ever intend on updating your CM10.1 to a newer version in the future, you need to have that bootable recovery SD anyway (or successfully put it on internal memory).

In did install both the CWM and CM 10.1 the first time. It booted and rebooted for days without a problem. I believe b what happened was error. I had the alarm set to wake me and half asleep tried to turn it off while the groovy cover was shut by holding down the power button. I may have held down more keys then I thought in a sequence that deleted something that caused the Boot to hang. After that there was no way for me to enter the CWM. The command sequence that would normally send me to CWM sent me to nook factory reset. I noticed that there is a small glitch between hibernate and the b alarm. Holding down the power key to get it to shutdown can cause it enter CWM from time to time.
When I reinstalled everything funny thing is my screen lock settings and background selection (I previously downloaded) stayed along with my user profile. That leads me to believe that everything was in tact on the internal storage. Google play backed up and reinstalled all my apps automatically once I signed in:good:. I'm taking your advice and buying a 4G SD to keep the CMW boot image on with the latest CM. Thanks for your help.
Distorted Boot Animation
Is there a way to fix the distorted boot animation on Nook HD+ CM10.1? I have tried installing a different bootanimation.zip but it didn't make a difference.
I found this post on a similar problem with the nook color running CM10.1, and steven676 fixed the boot animation issue with a new kernel. "I was wandering if it could be used to fix the Nook HD+ as well?"

Yes that could fix it, but it messes up other things. Best to just live with the distortion.

"I guess in order for one to gain, one must lose something." LOL
In meantime I'll just disable the boot animation with Rom Toolbox.
Hopefully it get's fixed in later updates without any lost.
This thread seems to be in the range of what my issues are. The Nook worked fine for about 4 days and then while installing the Retro Arc apk I sideloaded, it picked up on an unprotected Wifi connection in the area. It then locked up as the notifications were flying in, and the screen went black. I powered off then off after that once and the Cyanogen logo just kept looking. Tried again after and it went to Stock Nook.
The last few days have been spent doing clean installs with care taken to follow the exact steps, but now all I get for 2 days is the Cyanogen Logo looping over and over. Help?

Just found this on a thread here. I can't find it at this time. I would really like to credit and thank the poster. I had to go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache on every boot. I have only booted once but this change seems to have fixed this issue.
Firsts go into CWM and wipe dalvick cache.( Hold down the power and n buttons until you get into CWM. Go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache. Reboot)
When you get it booted, go into setting/launcher/home screen and uncheck Wallpaper quick render.
Good luck!

Edit to say credit goes to Arron Camp for this fix. Thanks Arron!

I have had the same problem in this thread as well (reboots stuck at cyanogenmod logo). I have been wiping the dalvik cache every time (figured it out on my own) and can confirm it works but you do have to do it at every boot (or perhaps after you change wallpaper, not sure).
I got tired of it happening so i google'd the issue and found this thread; mine is stuck right now too (and also out of battery, lol), but once I charge it, wipe dalvik and boot into android I will try the "quick render" trick and see if that fixes the boot problem to begin with.
Edit: I can confirm that disabling quick render has fixed the need to do a dalvik wipe every reboot.

I don't know if the color+ has sdcard recovery but if it does that would be the way to go except for...
The other thing is that if you had put on a custom recovery then holding what ever buttons to go to it could allow you to fix it. Or waiting until 8 reboots or whatever if its the same as the nook hd+.
I think there may also be additional stuff that can be tried on the nook logo screen via various button presses as well but don't have any knowledge about that especially for the color+

Stuck in an odd bootloop, can't get out of it (SGH-T599N)

Hello all. I have been in the Android root community for a little over three years, and even after tinkering with the various devices I've owned since, I cannot get my T599N to come out of its current bootloop.
A background: I had been checking some things in my settings app (running stock, rooted), and I ended up just force closing the settings app to get out of it quickly. Well, this action deleted all of my text messages, and later on it removed my notification bar and made my wallpaper go black. I ended up booting into recovery mode to try and clear the cache. After it cleared, I rebooted, and bam, the bootloop started.
Now, here's what's interesting. The phone is in a bootloop where it displays the first boot message (SGHT599N Galaxy Exhibit or whatever), and then it tries to boot into cwm recovery, displays the loading screen for that for 2 seconds, and just reboots again. I've tried installing a stock rom from ODIN with no success. The rom apparently loads onto the device but it's still in the bootloop. After this, I tried to install philz recovery to try to install a zipped rom to get the device to somehow boot. I tried to factory reset it for installing purposes, and it just reboots. The device will literally clear everything but /data, so that makes me think that it may be a file system problem. I really need to get it to work, as I am out of a phone right now.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried everything I know.

Need assistance reinstalling twrp

For a while I've been using the nonsense rom (provided on this forum) and it's worked fine. Just the other day however I tried turning on my phone, it would get to the boot screen with the animation of the android bot peeing on the apple logo and it would just play that animation over and over until eventually the phone turns off. I figured I just had to restart, but it was the same issue. After trying to reinstall that same rom, I had the same problem. I then tried different roms and the same issue with those, they would get to their respective boot animations and play them until the phone turns off, never going past the boot screen. The one rom that sort of worked with the cayonogenmod 12.1 rom, but the issue with that is after the boot animation, it appears to be starting the set up for the phone, but prompts me to enter a password, which I have no idea what it is. Doing a bit more research, it seems that there may be a problem with twrp and it not formatting (term?) properly.
As of right now, I've done a factory reset on the phone several times to no avail. I just need help getting this phone to work. I've tried looking at a few places and using adb, but the device wasn't found and I didn't have time to look any further because I'm busy with a project I'm working on and with moving. Some places I've looked said to put the phone into usb debug mode, which I can't do since i can't get past any of the boot screens.
Edit / Solved:
I went into twrp and instead of choosing "wipe data" i went to "format data" and that seemed to fix the problem. Although I did have an issue with the nonsense rom, it got past the boot animation, but then gave an error "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped". I instead installed the raptor rom and it's working fine.
