I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't seem to get my damned Fascinate to recognize the SD card.
I was running on some version of a Cyanogen 7 based Rom, I think Runnymede SIII, when the card stopped mounting properly, giving me an error message saying, "blank external SD card: SD card blank or has unsupported file system." When I go into CWM recovery, I can't mount the card at all, I get a message saying e:can't mount sd card.
Anyway, I've flashed through successively earlier and earlier official roms, and now I'm all the way down to stock DL09. No dice.
Any ideas as to how to fix this stupid thing? I don't even care about the storage, I just want to flash CM7 onto the phone and be done with it. I don't suppose there are any ODIN packages for CyanogenMod?

Notice the last ROM Shipyaad was running
@Shipyaad: try error-checking your sd card on your PC. Put in card reader, right click in Windows explorer, choose "properties," goto tools tab, check for errors, check both "surface scan" and "automatically fix errors"
This should get your card working again until you get a new one (it's not a permanent fix)

Hmm. I don't really use the sdcard except to hold a few tunes and some books, I don't even use the camera on that phone. I can't imagine why that particular rom would kill the sdcard though unless it were writing to it all the time...
EDIT: I guess it's time to dig up the old card reader. Sucks, I just moved to a new place and my stuff is still scattered randomly through all these boxes.... gah! Thanks for the idea, I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, it was worth a try. Neither OSX nor Windows were able to read the card either - right clicking on the drive crashed Explorer every time I tried it, and OSX Disk Utility had every option grayed out. Clearly, the card is fooked. Thanks again for the help.

I don't recomend a 32gb sd card either...folks are having issues with them aswell on mtd roms. I use a pny class 10 16gb with no issues.
OK, well.... so I picked up a Sandisk 8gb class 6 card today. Everything seemed to be fine, I was able to flash Cyanogenmod 7 (stable), and I was very happy.
HOWEVER. CWM stopped being able to see the card, and it doesn't appear to post when I've got it plugged into my card reader... When the phone is booted up though, it can read the card no problem. Now what? Re-ODIN CWM? Start from scratch? Get myself a new phone?

What do you mean cwm stoped seeing the card? Are you saying when you go into recovery your get the e: cant mount errors? Also just to make sure, on the stock cm7.1 kernel you cant three finger into recovery oncer your on cm7 or you will get those errors. Only enter recovery by long pressing the power button, select reboot, then recovery.
I am having the same problem. I have tried 4 different SD Cards. 2 of the cards are SDHC, the 1st one I had is fried now, the others can be read by my computer and when the phone is booted, but not in recovery.

Right. When I'm in recovery I'm getting the e: can't mount sdcard error. I don't think I used the three finger method after installing cyanogenmod though I might be mistaken about that. Perhaps re-Odin'ing cwm would help?

Hmm... wiped Dalvik cache --> reboot recovery.
Seems to have fixed the issue for now. Now I'm paranoid that my sdcard is going to be acting up. Will keep an eye on it and update if it breaks again...
I am having the same issue.. The stock Samsung 16GB class 2 that came with the phone started to give me E:Can't mount /sdcard issues.. Bought a Kingston 32GB class 4 card (verified as genuine) and still the problem persists.. Formatted fully, scanned with no errors, yet they all work when the phone boots up.. Ironically this all started when I switched to Pool Party which is MTD based, but I am trying to get back to TW.. Odined the stock EH03 and CWM 3, but I still can't get it to mount /sdcard..
Really burning me that I have this ridiculous issue that I can't get fixed..

Well 32gb cards dont play nice with mtd roms... Also dont buy anything less than a class 6. Pny makes a class 10 8gb for 12.99 or the 16gb for 20.00. Thats what i run and all my issues are gone. My stock card absolutely hated mtd based roms. Took me a week of trying crazy **** to get on cm7 only for it to come up damaged a day later. Works fine on touch wiz tho.

I finally got it fixed. Turned out that voodoo lagfix was turned on and the system not converted to EXT4.. Had to enable voodoo on boot so that the system would be converted to EXT4 and then I was able to access the sd card in CWM..
Funny you mentioned that I should get a class 10 because I was under the impression that anything over class 4 suffers from poor random read speeds and the benefit is only faster writing. And in applications like mobile phones, read speeds are more important for accessing data.. Double the storage capacity and faster class than my original Samsung 16gb class 2, I think I'm ahead of the game in any regards at this point..

my class 10 consistently reads between 15-18mb/s on antutu so Im not sure where you got that from. How was voodoo lagfix turned on if you odined stock eh03?

I searched the forums on here and deducted that information from what people were saying.. Again, I'm just going by what I read on XDA..
As far as lag fix being on, I am completely lost on how or why it was enabled (I was on MTD rom) .. I odined the KGB kernel and converted to EXT4 on boot.. When I rebooted back into recovery, the card could be accessed.. I then flashed the SC.05 and the conversion back to RFS occurred on first boot (don't know why).. Rebooted to recovery after that and converted back to EXT4 and I'm doing good now..
All I know is that I'm able to access the card in CWM now and my phone hit over 2000 on quadrant for the first time ever using this ROM.. Only lag I notice is using Gallery to open my pictures..

I have searched and I can't find an answer..
I have installed virtually all of the current 2.2 ROMS and I cannot get any of them to recognize my sd cards...I have odined back to stock, and flashed over and over and every time, the phone will say "no sd card inserted" IT even did the same thing when trying to mount the sd cards through clockwork recovery with the OS not even booted up...
When I flash a 2.1 ROM back to the phone, it behaves perfectly and reads both SD cards normally. Any one else have this problem or know of a fix?
i thought i had this issue last nite what i did was turn off usb debug then checked ask on connection in the usb setting and let it reboot and waited for it to reread everything then it was fine
If you had read all the posts of all those threads that you got the ROMs from, you would have seen that all the Froyo Roms had this issue. This has been posted many times over the past few days.
In Eugene's Froyo thread, you may find a fix for that.

There is a separate SD fix, but that was included with the new rom apparently. I have seen posts that those who pushed that fix had it work.
If I go to settings>sd card and phone settings
both the sd card storage and the phone storage say unavailable!
this only happens when you are using 2.2 right?
yes.. its only on 2.2 roms.. and every one of them I have tried.. when I flash back to 2.1 it works great.. I am guessing its some sort of kernel issue...
I did get it rebooted into clockwork and wiped pretty much everything but the sdcard...did not do any good.. also tried moutning the sd card from clockwork with 2.2 installed...the sdcards did show up on the computer, but when clicking on them it said "Please insert a disk into this drive"

i have researched this for 3 days straight and have found a solution, their is no fix
1.) if you remove your sd card and reboot the phone with it not in there, your internal memory will mount just fine.
2.) so that made me think it was something wrong with my external card, so i went and bought another one, samsung branded, 8 gig class2 card, and what do you know, it mounted just fine.
3.) i did found out that when i flashed back to 2.1 it would see my old sd card, but when i upgraded to 2.2 it wont.
its like 2.2 does not like certain branded sd cards, the one that wouldnt work on 2.2 was made by A-Data

Interesting.. Thank you! I am rebooting without the sdcard now and sure enough the internal card is showing [email protected]
Mine is an 8gb class 6 card.. not sure what brand... I am going to format the sd card and see if that helps!
that was it.. I put my 2gb card in and it worked great.. the 8gb card worked great before, but apparently was not compatable with 2.2

i tried puttying my sd card after i installed rom and other apps. and then thats when i recieved mounting errors and internal sd was unmounted for whatever reason. I dont think this rom has support for external sd card. but just based on my expierence
lol this isnt the only on0e its happen to me on
well what do you have your micro sd formated as. i had fat32 but wasnt working in most roms. so i formated it to ext3 and its worked so far...at least in recognizing it.
Beastly mounted it fine.And so did all of gb roms.
also is there maybe just a way to root tapntap i do like it
i think there is. you might have to set up adb and push stuff over. but not to sure on that. you can always use a custom TNT rom. Its still tnt but much snappier and faster
im running 1.2 branch tapntap and it really fast
Ok I finally decided to make the jump to AOKP ICS M6 but ran into (I hope) a small issue. I've been following droidstyle's guide to the letter, and basically when I got to the step to install Team Hacksung build 2 it kept giving me errors about not mounting the sd card... well finally it did it anyway, and right now my phone is running with build 2 on it. Problem is, now on the next step when I reboot into recovery and go to install from sd card (after wiping data) it just keeps saying could not mount sd card. So... does this mean I have a junky sd card and need to buy a better one? Since I've had the phone I've transferred tons of stuff to and from the card with absolutely no problems whatsoever, so this is kind of confusing me.
Ok... well a little update now. I just kept rebooting into recovery and eventually it worked and I was able to install AOKP M6, Gapps, and the Devil kernel. I guess I'm okay for now, but does that mean that my sdcard is dying and I should consider getting a new one anyway, or is this just some random error that is more of an annoyance than a warning?

agreed!
posted at the bottom of Section 4:
If your getting "E cant mount sd card" or "sd card damaged" errors then I suggest replacing your sd card with a class 6 or higher
Yes I did read that part droidstyle, however I haven't had ANY problems with my sdcard card until this point (go figure, right?). I have used it almost every day to play music, take pictures, etc, and not once have I had any read errors. If I had any suspicion beforehand about it failing I would have never attempted to install anything. Anyway, do you guys have any suggestions for brands, or will any well known brand do? I was thinking something like this. I'm a bit too broke right now to actually go out and buy a new sd card though, so I'm happy I was at least was able to get to AOKP M6 on my phone finally. I will definitely have to get one before I plan try any more roms, but I think playing around with M6 will keep me busy for quite some time.
go with atleast a class 6.
I don't mean to sound thick, but what's the difference with the classes?
edit: Okay sorry for that question, I figured it out pretty quick. It has to do with the speed I guess, so I found this one which is the same thing, except class 6. Thanks
i have read several threads. Installe Ubuntu on a laptop and have come to the conclusion.........I have no business rooting, or anything i hav tried several metods to try and restore my 16gb nt and have been unsuccesful. is there any body out there willing to try and restore it for me. i will pay all shipping and will send it with my 8gb class 10 card. I just want it restored to cm7 or something functional HELL even stock would be great at this point. I do not have the skills to do it myself. It has been bricked for over a month now. This was a device used by all of my family members and now they are all upset with me for ruining it. Will B&N take it back and do a restore? anything ANYTHING PLEASE HELP!
Can't you just start by telling us what you have tried?
Have you for example tried the repart.img card already? If so, what happened?
Edit: I checked you previous posts and see that you tried to get Adam's method going.
Before going through the trouble of sending the Tablet around, try the repart.img
http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-un-brick-a-nook-tablet-8gb-or-16gb/
In short
1. Download, extract zip and save the repart.img in the same folder as you keep your Winimage
2. Open Winimage from within that folder. (Do not "install" and run, just open from the folder!)
3. Choose the "repart.img"
4. Burn it to the card
5. Boot to the card (inserted in Tablet)and wait for green checkmark
6. Turn off, remove card and Tablet will reboot automatically.
If green checkmark doesn't appear after a few minutes and a red cross appears instead, then you're in trouble and nee to try soimething else. But let's hope it deosn't come to that!
o.k.
Thank You! i have followed these instructions. i even started out with a new 8GB SanDisk microSD and a new usb card reader. i was able to successfully create the card. My 16GB NT does boot to the restore screen but I do have the red x in the corner the whole time. When it finishes, i get a the device will shut down in 5 sec. I have tried the re-boot without the card as well as booting with the power button and the cable. i am waiting for a fresh download of adam's file to try that agin. If that does not work I will move onto celtic's instructions.
FINALLY!
Alright! I have returned to stock. courtesy of the AdamOutlerUbuntuTotalReFlash. The problem is the touch screen doesn't work. I will be attempting to restore to a previous cm back up from here. I owe more than thanks to so many people here. asawi, AdamOutler, Albert Wertz, Celtic, indirect. and all who helped. them. I have learned a bit in a minute and have a long way to go. My 16 GB NT isn't fully restored but, it's closer today than 4 -5 weeks ago!
Woohoo!! And I see you already know how to fix the touch. I'm sure you'll do fine, and I hope you come back and let us know about your success!!
not quite
i am pretty happy with my success so far. and it is all due to this forum. I haven't figured out how to fix the touch yet. I have tried to flash a few different things but no success yet.
Have you tried just running CM10 from sd card? I don't know if you can do that and restore original touch firmware, but it's worth a try!
The Touchscreen app is included, so it "should" work...
Here's a link to and easy-peasy versio:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
Download (first download under "Download", ending with SDC-IMG.RAR), extract and put img-file in your Winimage folder, burn to card, pop into Tablet and boot into sd card.
Open the Touch firmware app and go back to original.
Remove card and rebbot into stock and hopefully all is well now!
Since you don't actually plan to run the Tablet that way you don't have to expand the user partition on the card, just run it as it is!
Edit: FWIW, I went and tried to flash touch formware while running CM10 from sd-card, and it seems to work fine. I then took the card out a and rebooted to my "regular" (internal) CM10 and reflashed the touch firmware back to what it was.
(I have no need for 10 touch right now, so I keep it in original until I do),
So you really should be good to go with Succulent's (Iamafanof) ready-made CM10 (or CM10.1) card images!

At what stage of the recovery did you get this error message, e.g., during the process of initial sign-in to B&N?
o.k. I have achieved boot to SD card using sucullent's iamafanof cm10 image as instructed by asawi. my next goal will be researching and flashing the internals again. i suspect my initial problem resulted from having both cwm and cyanoboot resulting in the two arguing for permissions and rights. Additionally flashing the 10 touch which led to an unresponsive screen, which led me too trying to clear the "wrong" boot or mount and leaving me with only the cwm boot. patience!, clear thinking and help from all of you here got this device back in working order. Again I am extremely grateful for all the help!

So do you now have your touch working! If so, WOOHOO!!
To get CM10 installed internally I followed the steps under C in my post here. I'm pretty much a noon myself, so I though that if I could do it that way, anyone can. So I wrote the steps down.

Yes! Touch is working. I have not completed the registration for B&N yet. It seems that the updates that they push make it more challenging to root and / or flash to internal. I am just running CM off of an 8GB Class 10 micro SD. I don't want to do the B&N registration yet because I haven't 100% decided to flash to internal. Can the updates still be pushed even thogh I haven't registered? I am considering to keep running of an SD and get a 32GB class 6 card to do that. I would like to have the internal flashed because well let's face it the NT really isn't much to talk about until you. Unlock it's true potential. Question this process which I have followed here the repart and return to stock but running CM off the SD is that considered root?
I'm currently running CM 10.1 from an SD card and it does the same thing as internal boot. All information stored on the SD card with root privileges.
Sv: [Q] PLEASE HELP I GIVE UP and throw myself at the mercy of this community
I can't see any reason not to register your device if possible. You can block updates even if you're running stock as long as you're rooted.
It's more convenient running from internal than from SD, but I can't say I noticed much improvement in performance. Stick to class 4 unless you already have the class 6 lying around.
Be prepared that there might be problems registering after running the Ubuntu restore due to serial number possibly having been wiped.
O.K.

Alrighty then. I guess I will stick with just running off the SD card then. If I can't register then I will probably flash to internal. just curious why stick with class 4? Does the class 4 just run better or more compatible with the NT? How can I can confirm root?
SanDisk class 4 is the SD card most often recomended för NT. Runs fast and well and even devices that are fussy boot easily from it. The way data needs to be read for this kind of use isn't any faster on a higher class.

Is it possible or realistic that I can run a different SD card for different people using the tablet? i.e. using an 8 gig card with games and such for my kids to use. another card for my wife and then a card for myself. My fear is that the kids will eject the card or just not really know what they're doing and do something accidentally? (They are kids after all). My wife doesn't like the fact that I keep changing the configurations. Just overall giving everybody the ability to have the apps and configuration they want without encroaching on somebody else's preferences and hogging up all the space available on the card.

Yes that is possible. Just write the SDC version from iamafanof's page onto separate SD card. Recommended to use at least an 8GB Speed 4 microSD.
The other option is to use the profiles/users feature. It might be only CM10.1 builds that have the User capability. You can set up different accounts for yourself, your kids and your wife.

thanks digimax, i have read that several times over and have tried everything i can think of. i have used different sd cards, different usb cables, usb ports on my machine. i even went out and bought a brand new 8 and 16GB class4 sds and still nothing. i have used win 32 disk imager, acronis dd, ubuntu live, and fedora core that i have dual boot on my machine. i have downloaded the image from 4 different sources( using alberts method) and tried each of them numerous times. is it possible that my NT is unrootable? would it help if i downgraded from 1.4.3? if anyone has a verified working link on an image ill try that. if i can get CWM going then i can take it from there as far as kernels and roms, its just getting to that point that is so frustrating

Just to confirm: what you burn to the SD card (using win32diskimager) is the .img file extracted from inside the downloaded zip file, and not the zip file itself?

I extracted the zip which contained win32diskwhatever and the image file i used win32 in admin mode to write the image and create the partition on the sd card. im currently abandoning that route though and am just going to try breaking down and flashing CM10.1 on it. i saw a post where you had stated that that was an old way so im going to try something newer. i have all the files downloaded and have built the partitions using mini tool partition manager im copying them over now but i think it will be tomorrow before i try to flash ill let you know if it works, and just to be clear when i flash the CM10 on the sd card i can remove it and the NT will still boot CM10?

If you flash onto and run CM off an SD card (e.g., as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36685310&postcount=1), that CM10 SD card has to stay in the SD card slot in order for your NT to run CM10.
If you want to be able to run CM10 without an SD card you'd have to flash CM10 internally on EMMC (e.g., see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123) to replace whatever ROM (stock or otherwise) you currently have.
Note thatSD-based installation and EMMC-based installation use different versions of ROM zip files which are not interchangeable, so make sure you pick the right version.

ok i tried using the premade image and putting it on the sd card to boot from. i made sure card was flagged as primary active 0x0C LBA and it was set to boot( if that makes any sense, been up too long lol ) that didnt work. so i tried to build the card my self reading through several times and double checking as i went. still nothing when i try to boot up with the usb cable. i have been using the stock cable could that be a problem? this is what i came up with when the NT booted normal (attachment below) can you tell did i do something wrong? would it be easier to throw CM onto the eMMC? if so can you link me to a version of CM that would work on the NT 8GB? thanks in advance!
Personally, I had trouble booting & running SD cards. I'm convinced it wasn't hardware but my noobness! Since then I've always loaded only to emmc. I also had trouble going directly & straight to CM10 roms from the B&N 1.4whatever OS.
So, looking for a recovery + rom that matched, I used Indirect's app to get cwm 5, then had no trouble loading a CM9 rom (all to emmc). Once CM9 was up & running good, I used Goo Manager to load an updated TWRP recovery suitable for CM10, then Cm10.1, etc. That's what worked for me & to this day I see no need to boot from SD's. Just me tho.

If booting of a pre-made image does not work, there might be a flaw with your NT that precludes it from booting off SD card, and if this is true I am not aware of any way to root or flash stock ROM onto emmc if your NT is currently running stock.

ok that doesnt really make sense, i havent seen anyone else complaining about having trouble and not being able to get it to go at all. im not saying impossible more improbable i guess, anything is possible. i have been working with my wifes NT today and im not having any luck getting hers to boot android or root. ray waldo said that team b has a version of cm7 that will boot without root but i cant even get that to come up. her NT is 8GB as well. if there is some kind of work around that anyone knows of please share. id be willing to donate if you guys think of a fix. thanks

It's indeed true that there really doesn't seem to be anyone not being able to get their NT to boot from sd, provided they follow suggestions. So I repeat the questions I asked in your own topic (and please, try to stay within one thread to maximize the chance of getting this sorted!):
1. Are you 100% you are dealing with a Tablet and not a Color? (Model no fr Tablet 8GB is 250A)
2. Are you using a SanDisk class 4 sd card? (And burn it according to instructions)
3. Have you tried turning the device off, inserting the card and then insert USB cable connected to power (not computer!)

Another thing to try is using a different SD card reader/writer.

I've been having problems with my 8gb tablet as well. I have tried all three of your suggestions above. Is there any way to set the 8gb tablet back to a later version like 1.4.0? I've only seen resets for the 16gb.

ok through a series of unfortunate events and through no fault of my own i now no longer have a NT but i do have a nook color now. for those of you wondering i DID have a tab but the screen ended up mysteriously shattering. wife was trying to be nice and ordered me what she believed to be a tablet but a color shipped instead. still trying to decide if i want to do anything with that but thats for a different thread. so i still dont know what happened the tab wouldnt boot CM10 before it broke ( or after either lol ) but i pulled the sd out and tried it again in my wifes tab using the wall charger to jumpstart it and it booted CM right up. so i guess i just got the crap draw out of the nooks we bought at the exact same time. still trying to figure out how i can pin this on best buy for selling me a faulty device lol, but i just wanted to say thanks for everyones help and feedback. when i threw the sd into my wifes tab it loaded CWM and CM10 just fine. ordered her a class 6 san disk sd to put in it to see if that helps with some of the lag issues.:good:
Ok, so I'd like to piggyback off this before starting my own thread. I have a bunch of Nook Colors that I have no problem booting off of SD cards for my kids. Now the 8gb Tablet is proving much harder for me. I've redone the SD card method 4x by two different methods and I keep getting the same result: It boots up fine, allows me to create the google account and even dowload apps. However, out of nowhere it will reboot and then I am stuck on the CM10 boot screen that just loops forever. I am repartioning a 16 GB card, making it active, windisk img the zip file to the card fine.... Does my symptom sound specific of something? Let me know. Thanks!

I encountered this same problem for the first time yesterday when I tried out a CM10.2 SD build.
If you are using 10.2 you might want to go back to using 10.1 for a while longer.
Yeah, but what if I'm on CM 10.1? I used one build from June (2x) then one from Aug (2x) and now have the same symptoms. This does not sound indicative of something specific? Like aren't some 8gb tablets troublesome from SD? Or is this a user error still of some sort?
