I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi only and am looking at putting a custom rom on it but they advise people to put it on the SD card and run the rom from there but there is no slot for an SD card? Am I not seeing the slot or are people purchasing the adapter. If they are getting an adapter which one is recommended?
They just mean to use the inbuilt storage, you'll need to copy the Rom you want to flash to your tablet from your pc then turn it off boot into recovery and flash the Rom
there's loadsa guides on here about doing this and most devs (all devs really) post flashing instructions on their Rom threads
ah..ok that makes more sense now.

I am a new android user, formerly an iphone user. Not afraid to admit, while I love the phone, android confuses the hell out of me, but I'm getting used to it.
I have an i777 (obviously) and I'm running the entropy kernel and unnamed rom.
I've noticed that my internal and external SD cards seem to be switched.
Example; when I went into recovery mode to flash the ROM, i actually had to search under the "internal" sdcard to find the file.
I put the ROM onto the SD via a card reader, so I know I didn't put it on the wrong card. My brother is a longtime android user, and is also baffled by this.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Entropy512's daily driver kernel released 11/13 includes ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7, pulled from CM7. Added because it supports backup and restore to external sd card, it also seems to reverse internal and external sd cards as a side effect. See Entropy's post here.
hi everyone well last week ive tried many times over to install ics rom over my gingerbread and everytime this is what i get after i have completed followed the steps of how to upgrade to ics rom....when its trying to install the sd card can not be mounted...and repeats it many times over...so then i put phone into recovery so i can reboot...and it rebooted into the ics rom which i dont know how, but now my sd card is damaged and cant mount so i lose all my info no biggy....after reformatting the sd card, its ok...so i figure i would start it again...same thing.....i even did the steps but left the sd card out where you are suppose to and put back in when needed...still the same thing cant read sd card on install and after reboot sd card damaged need formatted...so i dont know what else to think except that i just cant simply get it flashed to the ics roms of any kind properly...if anyone can help thanks

lol i dont know how to move it except just post new thread there
Sounds like you need a new SD card. Some of the stock cards don't play well with MTD based ROMs. I would probably get a Class 10 microSD card (be careful if you get 32gb, there are known problems with some of them)
I bought http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-microSDHC-Class-Memory-Adapter/dp/B0058GH4U0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1335980268&sr=8-12 and have had no problems at all after!
You are flashing the THS build 2 first right? You have to flash that rom, then reboot to recovery by holding down the power button wile your in the OS and select the recovery option after that you'll be in a compatible version of CWM. Flash AOKP M5 from there.
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

Whenever I flash a ROM onto my I9300 the extSD card will not mount. According to whatever ROM I use the card cannot be read or is corrupt. It works fine in stock JB, however when I restore the device to stock JB it then states the card needs formatting and I have to go through the process of chucking all my music back onto the card after I format (which I'm doing right now).
The card I'm using is a Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10. I'm able to make backups and restore from them on the card itself through PhilZ Touch as CWM wouldn't read the card either and some other users suggest I try PhilZ recovery as they've had similar problems. Has anyone else had this problem and is willing to offer a solution? If so what card do you use?
I've heard flashing back to ICS which will write a different mount code than the one JB writes to a device, and somehow this will fix future mounting problems. I don't know how much of this is true but you can read the article here: http://checkrom.com/threads/cant-mount-internal-sd-card.994/
non Sammy based Roms only support fat32
Good day all. I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy Note 3 on the stock ROM and also still on the stock Recovery. I am trying to find out if and how to use my 64GB microSD as internal storage. I had the Galaxy Note II prior to this phone and I remember having this done through a script that I ran with Smanager. That method doesn't seem to work on this phone...any suggestions or methods that I can use/try without needing a custom recovery? The microSD card is in the original format (exFAT?) it came out of the box with (I just put it in and it worked SANDISK ULTRA) Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
You could try this, but there's no promise it will work or won't muck something up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285221
