Random factory reset

[natefish]

My Nook HD just randomly reset. Yep, I turned it off to reset it and, when it came back on, it reset back to factory settings. I then had to go through the set up process all over and it seems I have lost my root. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I have a TiBu backup, but, alas, no recent nandroid. Guess I'm going back to square one.

It must have been a full reset since an update would not require a re-register. Were your media files lost too?

Probably one of your installed apps, like adaway, wrote something to /system. If you see it starting to recycle on boot, quickly turn it completely off before it goes through 8 times so you can get your card CWM card in.

All of my media is on my external card, so that was safe. It was an annoying setback, but I'm good now thanks to Titanium Backup and your great thread.

Can I do a nandroid If I just have root installed? I know I did one before--does it require the CWM boot card?

No, you need the CWM boot card. That is what makes the backup.

If you have root, then you have the CWM card. Unless you formatted right after flashing the root zip.
