Most probably your miniSD card problem, how's your card capacity? 2G? you can try a small capacity card, eg, 512M with FAT16 format to see how. You also can refer to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388669, similar problem with you.
Happy flashing!

pink,
Just go back to Atom's website here and get the ROM you want:
http://www.myxda.com/xda-atom-life_servicemenu.aspx#software
There is step by step instruction provided but you can download a copy now for save keeping....think most of us do(who is using cooked ROM)....

Hope someone can help, i tried to upgrade without reading all the info here and the battery died, silly me. I can enter bootloader , save rom to SD, and when re-entering bootloader it will see this rom and and reinstall from it. I need to put a complete new rom on the SD card but every time i try this it doesnt see it within bootloader, do i have it in the wrong format? are there any tips/tricks etc? Ive used XDAtools and XDArit to no avail, the bootloader just wont see the file on there. I'm presuming that i have it in the wrong format somehow.
Cheers, Gary

I need help! Recently i have found ways to swap out internal and external sd card so i can download bigger games files on my phone. But i ended up partially bricking my phone! I have change my vold.fstab and after rebooting my phone, i went to access "My Files". But, the phone says "No SD Card Inserted". I tried to change it back but i found out that i forgot to backup the original vold.fstab. Now i can't even access it through my computer to change it back. I really need someone who is experience to help me out of this! I tried hard reset and factory reset. This is a new phone so i hope i don't have to get a hell out of beating from my mum.:crying:
P.S. i am using Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 <Rooted>
If there is any other information you need about my phone please ask me and i will tell you. I really need to get this phone back up to normal.

Extract a stock ROM of your device, and replace the void.fstab on your device with the one in the zip.
This should do it.

First of all, i would like to thank everyone for replying to my post so soon to help me out. Regarding what you said, you say to extract stock ROM of my device and replace the void.fstab with the one in the zip? Can i please know how to do it. Maybe the steps on how to do so or a video. And i still can't access SD Card. Thanks alot!
I got a NT not long ago and it is now rooted and running CM10, however I still lost in regards the 1gb user partition. CM10 is installed in that partition and I wanted in fact repartition the NT but the process seems to be confuse and risky so I was wondering if I have to stay llimited to work with just 1GB.
How about games and other programs I download? Are they all be installed in that 1gb?
I inserted a 16gb card but I cannot re -direct the apps to install in the external or even move them to the sd ext card. I also cannot see it with a file manager.
Could I use the B&N partition to load movies, apps etc or it will be sitting there useless?
Is there maybe an easier way to re-flash and repartition?
Thank you
BUMP!
You can reaprtition the same way they do in stores if you want to and get an 8GB partition for own storage. The repart.img mentioned in many other topics will do that for you. You will loose everyhting and get right back to out of the box stock firmware if you do it, but it's really easy.

Thank you Asawi, yes I really would like to repartition it. I hate to have that wasted space.
I will try find the best thread on how to use the repart.img. or please point me out in case you already know.
Thanks!!

The download link is in the very beginning of this post. If you've got image writing software already you can then jump to step 2. Extract the downlad and burn the reaprt.img to a card. Insert card and boot to it. After a few minutes a green chejmark should appear. (If a red cross appears instead you're in trouble.) Remove card and an update starts and goes on for a few minutes and you can then start over with yout CM10 install again.

So after doing this will I have to reroot or I just have to reinstall cm10? Getting my 16gb card in the mail (hopefully today) should I wait to get the card or can I just copy everything from my 8bg to the 16 and everything remain? Thank you for your help!
It's probably me being stupid, but I don't understand what setup you have and quite what you are talking about. Running the repart .img will completely erase everything on the device and set it back to freshly bought. Whatever you have in internal memory that you want to save you need to save somewhere else.
I don't get your reasoning that CM10 is installed in your 1GB partition, because that is not the norm.
Probably me being stupid, but I can't help you.

Well, if you're installing CM10 you don't actually have to root as a separate process. Just install CM10 and rooting will come done at the same time. Itäs only if you plan to run stock you need to root.
If you have to go and get stuff from several pages you are probably not doing the installing in a very efficient way. Possibly things can be done a lot easier now than whe you originally did it.
Ihave made several posts outlining an extremely easy way to install CM. Look for them if you want to.

I had already done the root from a video I saw on youtube then used your link for cm from the [Q] Noob Alert! Nook Tablet 8GB Rooting Question! post. So just doing the cm from that same post will also root my device? I don't really need anything on the actually nook. I got it as a gift and use the kindle app for all my books. I will defiently look into your other posts. I just got the NT a little less than a month ago.
If you root before installing CM10 you'll just overwrite the root you did, so no point in doing it.
Once CM10 is installed your Tablet should be rooted.
All you need to do is get into CWM 6.x.x an flash the ROM and appropriate gApps zips.
Hello all, I am looking for a little advice. I'll give as much backstory as possible:
I used the cyanogenmod one click installer, everything went well. Since the one click installer put twrp on I went and put clockworkmod on since im more familure with it. Everything fine restarted and phone worked however after I installed (attempted to install facebook messeger) the device rebooted and would not come back on. Sat for 5 mins vibrating over and over and over. Its not completely dead I am able to get to recovery and to download mode and believe I just had a bad download/install. Since i have Clockworkmod on here, I am thinking I could just install the most up to date stable rom available but I have a question:
How do I put the rom zip files on phone if phone wont come on.
Any advice towards this would be appreciated.
First off, where did you find a cyanogenmod one click installer? Possibly that was not meant for the I717.
Don't you have an external micro sd card? Place the card in your computer and copy the ROM zip to it. Put it back in your phone and use it to flash.

Sure thank you for the reply, from beta . download . cyanogenmod . org /install apparently it detects your phones version and does everything for you really, no option to pick your model/version # it auto detects. sorry for spaces it wouldnt let me post link complete.
And I did not know I could put the zips on external SD I had though only internal SD is option for where to put roms

Everything "seemed" fine until I tried using WiFi, I actually have to hit the wifi button and then restart my phone for the wifi to actually work, weird...
Besides that, the phone has just been restarting itself and it's happening more and more. And lately, it's wicked slow with just about everything I try to do... its just super glitchy. So I thought that maybe starting from scratch would be the best way to make things right, and then re-root...
But doing this caused many questions while reading through the forum and I'm hoping that someone can help point me in the right direction...
I guess the most important questions are:
Do I wipe the phone and do a clean install, going back to stock first?
If so, because I have followed the instructions in the link above, what are the exact steps so that I don't brick it?
Should I just buy a new phone?
If I did a clean install and then re-root will it run better than it is now?
I have many more questions but I think answering these first will help out a lot...
Thanks to whoever can help me out...

Edit: I installed the new Dodol Launcher and miraculously my WiFi is working again! So I uninstalled the Nova Launcher... I am happy that I can toggle my wifi settings once again =) But I read something extremely upsetting about 2mins ago in regards to the people with unlimited data which I have, and that is, we cannot use third party apps to tether the hotspot if we did the 4.3 update!!!??? Does anyone know if this is true? I thought that I couldn't tether because my phone is somehow screwed up, not because they blocked me from using it...

Thanks lacoursiere18!
After I get back to ramc3 and reunlock do you know how can I stop the OTA from popping up and trying to get me to install it? I want to be able to tether a mobile hotspot, so I need to stay on this one (because of the unlimited data), I think...?
On another note (no pun intended), I was starting the backup process and noticed that the phone has 10.3GB of internal storage, but when I add up all the folders it only amounts to 2.24GB! Does that mean that the OS is taking up 8GB!??? It just seems like a bit much and I can't see anything, there were no hidden folders or system files that I could find either... weird...

Try backing up your data and then reformat it through your phone settings. If that doesn't work you might want to reflash the ROM. Or go into the settings and remount it that way. But if it worked fine before you flashed the ROM I would reflash....

It has to be the something to do with the format of the memory card and the ROM. My twrp recovery reads that all of my stuff is still there. It's just the version of the ROM that doesn't. Any ideas?
