ive been stuck in a bootloop for days now. i managed to get it back to the "3 birds" but thats about as far as i can get.
it feels like im pretty close to getting this thing back up and running i just need to flash a new rom. the problem im having with this is i cant find the rom to flash. i put the rom on the sd card, but when i put it back in and boot up i cant find it anywhere in clockwork. (says no files found when trying to install zip from sd card.
So my question, is there a way to mount my device to the computer through clockworkmod so i can finaly flash a new rom.
or can anyone point me into the direction where i can find the files on the sd card.
could possibly have to do with partitioning the sd?
thanks in advance!
mounts or advanced in clockwork

I am rooting my daughters Droid Eris. I used the app from the market and flashed Cyanogen 7. Everything went well until I tried to start restoring her apps and found that the phone is saying there is no sd card. When I go into setting to mount it it is greyed out and wont do anything. the gallery and rom manager also say there is no sd card. the card I am using is not partitioned. I tried taking a partitioned sd out of my old Cliq and putting it in and then it says it has a unsupported system or something like that but I did notice that the mount sd in settings was no longer greyed out. If I reboot into recovery it will recognize the card because it lists what is on it. I have searched everything I can find and cant find any answers. Oh, also, when I plug in the usb to the computer it does nothing then either. Any Ideas??
Go into recovery since her phone can read the card from there and reformat the card. You may also want to wipe data and dalvik and reflash the rom to be on the safe side.
Make sure that you backup anything currently on the SD card before formatting it, which you can do from the usb-ms toggle option in recovery. You will need to copy the rom file back to the phone after formatting the card which can be done from this option as well.
There should be an android.secured folder on the SD card. Delete that. You don't want it on there so make sure you don't copy it back to the card (it will come back after the first boot and it can then be left alone, I like to delete mine before each flash though to avoid possible problems.)
EDIT - DONT FORGET TO FLASH GAPPS RIGHT AFTER FLASH THE ROM! ALL CM7 ROMS REQUIRE THIS!
Let me know if you have any problems

Totally of the topic BUT I'm Selling a fully rooted Droid Eris running CM7 port ROM for $90...interested PM me.
I was planning on flashing my phone to the Charmeleon rom. I had TWRP installed and was ready to go. I wiped the system (rom) and when I went to install the new one (which I had an external sd card, it's not showing up. My phone will not start because I wiped the stock rom. I have no idea why my the file is not being detected. The sd card is showing up as ext-sd but nothing is showing up in the folder, but when I put it in my computer it is. I did not save a backup. Someone please help me figuring this out.
Sorry guys, I feel stupid. I've been within TWRP for 2 hours trying to figure out what happened and of course as soon as I post this I finally stumble on the problem. I had to go into something and actually select to use the sd card. Thanks to everyone who was going to offer help.
You can try a factory reset. I don't think wiping the system partition affects the ability to restore the installed ROM but it's entirely possible I'm wrong. Worth a shot.
With the file not showing on your sd card in TWRP, is it a .zip file? I think recoveries can only see .zip files and I might have read that there's an issue if a file is named xxxxzip.zip. might try renaming it on your computer and copying it back to your sd card.
Hi, Nook Tablet gurus!
I desperately need your help! :crying:
I've been trying to bring my nook tablet to life for 3 days and evidently just reading and googling doesn't help - I need your help!
What I have:
Nook Tablet 16Gb
It always boots into internal SD cwm - nothing helps!
NT can boot into internal CWM, but I can't get to emmc - internal CWM just doesn't find it!
When I load through SD card I can see the content of emmc. And even use .zips on it to try to flash. But anyway i always get or in SD's CWM or into emmcs CWM
I tried lots of things: Tried different CWM versions, tried to mount\unmount different partitions (but didn't formatted!) Wiped cache, data, dalvik cache lots of times. Used method from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836) but it says, that i must contact the B&N shop after reboot.
What I didn't try - repartition through ADB, as I'm afraid I'll just screw all things further.
My initial goal was just to flash ordinary (but beautiful) CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512373) previously I used just rooted version of stock for half a year.
Could anybody, please help me? Will appreciate any help!
You're saying you can or cannot boot into a CM7 SD ROM?

Sorry for VERY stupid question.
I can make an sd card with CM7 SD ROM on it?!
Wow i thought i can only write CWM on SD cards and nothing more serious. Could you, please give me a link on how exactly do this and what should I do next after this SD CM7 Rom will be booted from SD card?
Thank you Very Much for answering my noobish question - i really tried to handle everything by myself at first.
Yes you can make a bootable CM7, CM9, or CM10 card. CM7 is easiest, so we'll try that. Go to this post right here and follow the instructions underSD VERSION IMAGE.
Basically, just do this:
1.) Download the CM7SD ROM in that post.
2.) Download the .img writing software in that post.
3.) Attach your microSD to a PC using a USB adapter
4.) Using the .img writing software, write the .img ROM file to your SD card.
5.) When it's done, put the SD card in your NT and power it on from a completely off state (NOTE: You may need to be plugged into a wall charger if your NT doesn't boot into the SD card.)
6.) Wait for it to boot into your CM7 SD ROM.
Just flash CM7 to eMMC. It will run faster than off the SD

Hey guys,
Had a question, i have downloaded several roms to my ext SD card, my phone sees them and everything while i'm in recovery. My problem however, is that when i try to install one of the roms it just freezes up and doesn't move past the psrogress bar. I was running Clockwork recovery, and thats where the problem started, I was curious if i might had disabled something there. I switched to TWRP and still the same thing is happening. I would love to see if anyone has had this issue and if so if someone could help me out. side note i can flash roms just flash roms from my internal memory just fine..
thanks in advance...

The ROM to my tablet (which is this exact model) is corrupted and will only boot into the recovery mode but I can't find a ROM for it anywhere. Any way I can get the system.tar, boot.img, and recovery.img that this person posted and make a working ROM out of it? Searches have come up pretty dry. I tried contacting him but no response. I already tried clearing out the cache and factory resetting it, it keeps going into recovery mode so I know it's a problem with the ROM.
Is that a no? I could really use some help here since my tablet is basically useless in its current form.

are you on a custom recovery ex twrp/cwm. and does your tab have a external micro sd card slot
if you are, make a backup to your external micro sd.
pull out your sd put it into your computer copy the files you posted from the other guys thread into your external sd in the twrp/backup/####/corressponding folders to the files you posted. put your card back in. go to twrp restore that backup. then wipe cache/delvik cache/ and data then reboot.(do not use the recovery .img he posted)
No custom recovery, this is the standard Android recovery menu Would that change anything or can I still pretty much do it as you described? It has an external micro sd card slot of course.
Anyone who is able to help me? I honestly looked everywhere for a recovery ROM for this thing but the only people I've found who actually have the tablet are also having problems with it. I'm beginning to think RCA is garbage when it comes to tablets. It was going great until that firmware update screwed everything up.
