Boot loop is probably caused by offline charging, the ROM may have a bug with it, one solution is to prevent the phone from running out of battery and plug it right away.
About the data restore from the 4 ext, you can use CWM recovery 6.0.2.7 which has support for SD card extensions, it will detect your partition and will manage your data, and all your apps linked to the partition.
You could try this. I use a gnex toolkit posted on xda. It saved me from a couple of boot loops.

Hi there,
my nexus one is stuck in a boot loop and crashed during the "X" animation.
It is not yet rooted but I'm able to boot into flashboot and recovery. If have data on the phone that I need to secure first before reseting or flashing it (like contacts, messages, not synced).
Is there a possibility to backup the data in any way? Or to restore the system without loosing data?
I've heard that with the N1 if I root it I will loose all the data, so this wouldn't be an option. Can I do something with fastboot? Or with the recovery mode?
One idea would be to somehow reinstall the last froyo update with the recovery mode (update.zip on sd card) and to hope that then it is working again. Is that possible?
Any help is really welcome. Thanks a lot.
Ok sorry wrong category here.

so no one got an idea? then it seems I have to do a factory reset unfortunately
I tried to flash a cm10 rom and i did thought i flashed the boot.img separately as i read you have to but it was stuck booting for at least 25 min so i gave up with that and tried to restore from a backup i made with twrp. I restored from the backup and tried to reboot but nothing happens, it shows the htc screen and then turns black and thats it. I can go into bootloader and recovery but im not sure what to do to get back. Should i try a ruu?

Maybe it was a bad restore? or a bad backup? You could try restoring from your backup again.
Or blaze on and see if you can get CM10 up and running.
Did you wipe /cache/dalvik/system when coming from stock (before installing)? I've seen situations (on other devices), Where I've had to delete the /data partition as well, I'm not sure why it wouldn't boot, but it refused to get past the CM load screen until the /data partition was wiped. If it's a new phone and you don't have too much on the sdcard, this might be worth trying.
Once you have TWRP flashing ROM's shouldn't be too bad, it's just the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" that catches people out usually.
you still have to flash boot.img separate before/after a twrp restore.
Grab the boot.img from a stock rom
Wipe cache/dalvik
Factory reset
Bootloader, fastboot usb, then fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then restore the backup
Thanks everyone for the responses, I was able to get it working after trying a few more times and wiping everything. Not sure why it didnt work earlier but all of a sudden after trying it just worked.
one-click unbrick not working! still stuck in boot loop after a "successful unbrick!"
it started with my sd card not being read.
I factory reset/wiped the system cache and dalvik cache
still wouldnt read my sd card. I re-installed cm 10 and got stuck in a boot loop at the cynogenmod screen
I factory reset/wiped the system cache and dalvik cache again
then the phone got stuck in a bootloop at the samsung screen and the phone wouldnt access cwm recovery.
I tried super one click unbrick and nothing. tried a couple of entrophy's one clicks, still nothing.
i can atleast access red recovery now but the system wont mount which im guessing is why the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
Cache wont mount either and i cant flash any roms
Any help?

You have to repartition as well. You may also want to give heimdall a try

Hello XDA
I tried updating from Cyanogenmod 10.1 to 10.2 nightly( I understand it was development), and my phone froze on starting apps (cleared cache), and never booted. Next boot it stayed in a boot loop, so I decided to restore from a backup. I wiped my system and proceeded to restore both system and boot (didn't want to override my apps so I unchecked the rest), and then cleared caches again to be safe. Now it is in a bootanimation loop and has been so for 5+ minutes. What could possibly be the cause of this? Is there any way to fix this without having to wipe my apps and data (I have a backup of system, boot, android_secure).
Thanks,
ccrama
Did you flash the boot with fastboot?

No, I updated with the CM updater. It did all the installing/wiping, but got me stuck in the original boot loop. Now, I used a backup to restore my old system files (from 10.1), but it is still in a boot loop D:
EDIT: I'm on TWRP and the backup was a nandroid backup
Give it a try to flash boot with fastboot. Your can extract it from your backup.
