Help with sd card after root - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

After trying to figure out how to get my 16 gb sd back instead if only having 70 mb partition I screwed something up by deleting the partition and some how made the whole sd bad and now my card won't even read. I'm rooted but don't see a market, nothing no apps but I have cwm so idk weird I can't figure it out so ne help on fixing my sd would be great thanks

When you say it won' t read are you refering to from within the NT? This issue has been discussed and the easiest way is to format the SD from within the NT.
If you hear the ding dong upon inserting and ejecting the SD card fom the nook chances are pretty good you will be able to format it.
I assume you are NOT running CM7 and if you are ignore the above and RUN as fast as you can away from any formating within to NT. LoL

I had this same problem. I couldn't figure out a way to do it in windows so someone else chime in that knows more than me.
What I had to do was put it in a linux machine and using gParted find the menu option to create a new partition table then select msdos for the type. Hope you have a linux machine handy.
Good luck!

This is a sure fire way. I didn't referance it because not many users have access to a Linux machine.
If formating within the NT doesn't work this will for sure!!

No Linux sorrie but yeah didn't think about the nook doing it I'll try and see if not my 16gb is bricked till I can figure something out thanks for the responses

Careful with what Land Master said, If you're running CM7 you'll have troubles. I tried it after I did the new rom and luckily got an error message and didn't brick my device but there have been lots of reports of that happening.
If you have a usb stick lying around you can make a live boot usb with unetbootin. It should have gparted on any distro you choose from the list.

So now I got the card to show on the nook but now it won't show up on the computer so idk what's going on with this sd card I really would hate to get another sd card

The card itself is pefectly fine and you can always run either the live cd for gparted or you can run a live cd of any linux distro and have access to the program. A live cd means the distro runs from the cd and doesnt touch your Hard drive at all so theres zero chance you will mess up your pc. Heres what I would do in your case. I would download and burn one of the millions of linux distros out there and then unplug the Hard drive from the computer so that it doesnt get wiped at all then put the disc in and boot from it then use gparted to correct the sdcard issue.

Unetbootin (referenced above by Binary_Aegis) is a WINDOWS program that is used to make a bootable memory stick. Once done you will boot into the memory stick without the need to "install" Linux on you Windows Hard Drive.
Google it for more information but it was an excellent suggestion!

Everyone has access to a linux machine as long as they own a cd burner or a 2gb usb stick.
Download ubuntu and either burn it to a cd, or make a bootable usb drive (instructions are right there on the ubuntu download page on how to make a bootable usb drive).
Put the drive or cd in the computer, turn computer on, select the first option on the menu. (live boot or whatever) This will boot you into a ubuntu machine capable of running gparted.
To access Gparted from that live desktop, do the following:
1. open a terminal (ctrl+alt+T or ctrl+shift+T I don't remember which offhand)
2. with terminal window open type in: sudo passwd root <press enter>
3. type in a password. something short, reenter it when asked.
4. now type: su<press enter>
5. put in the password you just made.
6. now type" gparted
The Gparted window will open and automatically scan for all connected drives. Figure out which one is your sdcard, make changes, exit.
Restart pc from ubuntu menu and remove cd/usb drive.

I had that issue when I playing around with the Indirect root method for sd card and what not. I lurked around the forums and tried a program called EASEUS Partition Master. From there I could delete the partition and reformatted the whole sd card to fat32 and that restored function to it. Another issue I ran into was that the reader from my NT wasn't picking up the sd card, but luckily my laptop had an sd card reader and that picked it up.

See the problem I'm having now is i got the card working its back to normal but for some odd reason it won't show on the computer ne more. So I'm thinking a driver on the computer for showing the sd is messed up somewhere. So I'm wondering exactly where and how to get to these drivers to uninstal and rehook the nook and put the drivers back on there. So ne insight on this feel free to lmk k thanks

I had the same problem, the problem is that the NT can actually read sd cards better than windows. This happened to me when I reformatted but did not change the type of the partition table. Are you sure you created a new partition table of the msdos type?

[Q] Help with SD Card

I would appreciate some assistance with the issue I am facing as I am new to Android. I have attempted to use my micoSD card (32GB Kingston) from my HD2 and as it was detected, I figured out I may have to mount it and so I did. However, Galaxy S II report it as corrupted and requires it to be deleted/formatted. Because I had a lot of data on it, I did not want to format it. Now, the card cannot even be read on my PC.
Can someone please advise how to proceed to restore my data?
Thank you for any suggestion/help/tips!
Connect it to a windows pc outside of the phone, and then scan it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Missing data try Recuva to recover data .
jje
Thanks for the suggestions; I will try...
None of the above worked, because the card appears damaged and there is no access to it as a external drive. I also tried Zero Assumption Recovery, to no avail!
I will continue to try, but if anyone knows of a solution, I would appreciate their input.
Thanks
Like i said, you must connect it to windows with the card not in the phone.

Find the manufacturers website and see if they have a repair app for it. I have had to do this with a flash drive before, their may be something simular for your microSD card.
Was you sd card partitioned by chance?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Try plugging it into a linux box.
I found that somtimes linux would read what windows thought was a 'corrupted' drive.
Thanks all for your input, but still no solution!
harolds,
I have checked the Kingston's Website and there is not tool, only basic FAQ! I remmeber I had an SD card from Transcender and got corrupted and there was a tool from their site. In this case, I cannot locate a tool!
intruda119,
I do not believe it was partitioned, as I only mounted it using Android tool. I am unsure whtehr the mounting process also pations it or not.
SuperTheMando,
Unfortunately, I am not conversant with Linux, so I would not know how to proceed even if I build a system based on this OS.
Please if you have any suggestion, please share it!
If nothing else works, and you really want to give linux a go, then you could try a live CD or a live USB.
That means booting your computer off a CD or USB instead of your hard drive.
It really is a lot simpler than you'd think.
I don't know how computer savvy you are, but if this doesn't make sense, then some Googling around will give you a simpler explanation.
Just go to the Ubuntu website and choose an appropriate version (I recommend the Long Term Support version, it will have the least bugs in it and most likely to work fine on your computer and with the SD card) and download it.
In the download steps, they'll give you links and how to's to make a bootable USB or CD.
If your computer is relatively new, then it should be able to work of a USB, but if you aren't sure, then just go with CD (it will work with all computers with a CD drive)
Just prepare the Live CD, put it in, turn on your computer, and tell it to boot to the CD. (go into the BIOS (hit delete (usually) while it's turning on) and set it to boot from the CD before the HDD).
It sounds scary if you've never done anything like that before, but honestly, you won't screw up your computer. Before you do anything permanent to your computer you will be told at least three times 'WARNING THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA!' or something along those lines.
You probably have a computer savvy friend who can do this all for you, or maybe an IT department at work who will be glad to help you.

I was going to tell you to use TWRP, but I see it doesn't format, yet. So, here's what I have done in the past. I use gparted in LINUX. Now, my laptop and netbook are dual boot, Win/LINUX. If you don't want to install LINUX, go download a live LINUX distro and burn it to CD or DVD, whichever it takes. I've used Ubuntu for this and it's what I have on my laptop and netbook. Then, after you burn it as an iso, put it in your computer and reboot into it. gparted is found under the Administrative on the taskbar. I generally will put my microsd into a reader and plug it into my computer. Sometimes your reader will show up on the desktop, but if not, just go to Places on the on the taskbar, and click My Computer. If you need more help, give me a shout.

not sure what utilities windows has for ext4 partition formatting. perhaps a google search might turn up something useful? i know in ubuntu, as stated above, gparted works well. another option to the ubuntu live cd and the dual booting ubuntu is to run a VM of ubuntu. just to add another option!

long manual process:
grab the arm compiled ext4 formatting binary used in amonra recovery off his github and manually run the commands. the commands should be found in his github source .. can prob grep for the format menu (usually in recovery.c or recovery_ui.c for a starting point) and follow the menu logic out to the exact command being sent to the ext4 formatting binary along with the arguments.
hope that might help those wanting to manually format ext4 partitions on their sdcard!

[Q] Gparted not finding my android phone

I need to repartition my SD card for changing ROM on my HTC Desire. I planned on using GParted for the task, but so far I have failed to get the SD card to show up in GParted. What I have tried so far:
1. Plugging in my phone to my MacBook I can see my device and in Disk Utility both partitions show up (although obviously the ext4 won't mount).
2. Booted GParted in Parallels but the device won't show up
3. ...so I tried booting my mac with it, but still, the device won't show up.
4. Tried booting a PC off GParted. Still no device!
5. Plugging the SD card into a Samsung Galaxy S and tried the above again, still without success.
So problem persists, I cannot get the SD card to show up in GParted! Do you have any idea how to make it work?
Try to use card reader. I'm sure it can detect when you use it. I'm a fans of gparted.

Windows and Multiple SD Partitions

The only way that I've found to allow Windows to recognize more than just the first listed SD partition is to install drivers to make the card a Local Disk instead of a Removable Disk.
This would be extremely useful for users who run the SD version of CM7, where the image creates a four partitions with the 4th being all of your user data.
Here is the tutorial on how to modify and install the Local Disk drivers:
http://www.getusb.info/usb-hack-turn-a-usb-stick-into-a-hard-drive-or-local-disk/
In theory, if you use a USB to SD adapter, this should work, but it's not working for me. I thought all XP drivers were compatible with Windows 7, but maybe that isn't correct.
Anyone else want to give it a shot?
Ahh, the old hitachi drivers. I posted a guide about them some weeks ago. They will work on Windows 7, just not the 64bit version of it. Where exactly are you having problems with it?
Sent from my 8086 using xda retrograde.
I have problems exactly where you say. It seems that the drivers aren't compatible with my 64bit operating system.
Any chance I could modify the driver to make it work?

What happens if you install a 32-bit Windows XP virtual machine on you 64-bit system. Would that allow you to use XP the drivers?

If you're going to use a virtual machine, then why don't you just use Ubuntu? It will mount everything just fine.

Because they want a solution which doesn't require dual booting and is immediately available. Unfortunately the crap support for other file systems will continue to be a big problem for them. (EDIT: Or did you mean to run Ubuntu in a virtual machine?)
Running Ubuntu or PC-BSD or any other more FS robust OS in Oracle's VirtualBox (which is free and relatively easy to use) is probably the best solution for many here.
I know all partitions and all file systems mount in Ubuntu, but the point of this is to get multiple partitions to be readable/writable in Windows, since the majority of users run this as their main OS. The idea of running XP in a virtual machine was simply to check and see if the drivers were compatible; the idea was not meant to be a permanent solution.
As for Windows mounting Linux file systems (Ext2 and Ext3 specifically), this would be my next step. I believe the solution does exist. Check out the freeware Ext2IFS and ExtFsd if you're interested. I haven't gotten the chance to try them because I'd like to get multiple Microsoft partitions readable first.
Anyway, after trying a USB drive and a SD card in an MMC reader on both a 32bit Windows 7 Home and XP Home this morning, I have not been successful.
I can confirm that the USB Local Disk drivers are in fact compatible with both of these operating systems, but Windows is still recognizing the drives at Removable Disks instead of Local Disks. I will try to work on it a bit more in a little while.
Total Commander has support for ext bases file systems.

I believe so. In fact, the SD card version of CM7 final uses two ext4 file systems, one of them being the partition used for the "internal storage."

I'm able to manually mount the sdcard as ext4, however CM7 doesn't recognize the sdcard, and won't mount it for me.
Does anyone know what we need to change to get CM7 to recognize an ext4 sdcard?
Thanks!
Little bit of a thread hijack going on, but that's okay.
Is your vold.fstab mounting the correct partition?
Okay, so I got all the different partitions of my SD card to mount this morning, even an Ext3 file system. I might do my own How-To later for the CM7 users on here and so that it appears using more tags in someone's Google search.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I need to know: Did you ever document somewhere how you got this working under Windows 7 64-bit?
I'm in the same boat as you, needing to be able to mount and read an ext2 partition on my Windows 7 64-bit. I've got the necessary drivers that'll let me read ext2 and above but having access to that 2nd partition while the card is in my Windows laptop is where I'm stumbling.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
In fact, I actually did manage to find the drivers for x64 Win7. Check out post #7 of this thread right here to see the details.

Remix OS USB Harddrive increase internel storage?

Hello,
i would like to watch some maxdome, netflix etc. films and series in a place, we haven't got internet. Because you can't download videos for offline using on pc, I thought i can install Remix OS on a external Harddrive, install apps like maxdome to download films at home and watch it offline. It works, but you only have nearly 4 gb internal storage on this operating system. I found a tutorial on how to increase the internal storage, but this only works on harddrives formatted to NTFS. And you can't install Remix OS on a NTFS formatted external harddrive, can you?. Is there any way to increase the internal storage on FAT32? Will the developers of Remix OS increase the internal storage in the future?(Because it's only Alpha so far) Another problem is, that when i when I connect the laptop to the TV with HDMI, it only transfers the video, but no audio. Will this be fixed in the future?
Sorry, my english is not the best
I am trying to find a way to increase the "data.img" file that is generated on the USB stick... If I can't figure it how, the only option is installing on the HD and make the tuto's.
And I think its possible to install on an external drive and use the whole space. Gonna figure it out how 4 us, okay? \รต/
I think that the HDMI problem will be solved on the next updates. Anyway, its still on Alpha...
While its not solved, we can always use an P2-P2 audio cable ... haha.
The FAT32 file system has a limitation of 4GB files. There's no way to have a bigger data.img without making your flash drive NTFS

Hey
After a while searching and studying about this, I realised that I couldn't make it on the pendrive.
BUT
i successfully installed the OS on my SSD ( OMG, such fast booting ). I split my SSD, formatted to EXT4 and installed, and BOOM! 12 gigs of internal storage.
What does it mean? It means that you can install on a flash drive, such as USB stick or External HD, formatting as EXT4 partition, and run from there.
I'll make some tutos ASAP, teaching how to make those tricky stuff.

I think you can't.
But, you can install on another USB Stick.
This weekend is "Carnaval" in Brazil (National Holiday). I'll try to make one video explaining 4 u, okay?
[EDIT] Sorry, I'm gonna be a little busy this weekend. What you can do at all is to install the iso normally in a USB Stick, run it with the "INSTALL=1" parameter, format another USB with EXT4 and install it on the stick. You should get it with the internal storage as the size as the USB stick.
I didn't tried it yet, but its a possibility.
Let me know if you're gonna do this.

Just install normally the ISO on a USB sitck and boot it normally. When it appears for you select on the both modes ( resident and some other ), you press "E" on your keyboard, to edit the command line. There, you put INSTALL=1 parameter. Then , you'll install it normally, just selecting the right stick.

Thank you very much, it works!
You just have to install GRUB bootloader when it asks you, the other questions you can skip. Then it works!

Will it install grub to the USB. I dont want to overwrite grub on my HDD. Currently I have managed to have a USB formated with ext4 and swap, and was able to use unetbootin to put install files on. I dont use the install option as I havent used the two usb as you have here. I do have a full install on my internal ssd and have 56 gb to play with but would like to have a usb that can boot on any computer with the ability to access more than 4gb. I have tried a few ways and if it doesnt mess with the bootloader on my ssd then id be happy to know that.

I discovered somethings with my notebook. Its an Asus X550LN, and the BIOS is as secure as hell. So, I had to search on the partitions created the GRUB that the installer says it was installed. And my BIOS just read one type of File System ( I don't remember it right now, but its the one that Windows uses, not Ubuntu ). When I found the GRUB bootloader on another partition, i just copied the files from one partition to another, added a boot option for it to reach the bootloader and BOOM, "chooseable dual-booted". Yeah, its hard because I have to enter in the BIOS everytime I want the other OS, but its a step. LoL.
Anyway, I think you should try to make a 400MB Partition to install the bootloader on the stick, and the space left just format as ext4 and install the RemixOS there.
Yeah... I don't know if you understand what I'm saying.... It can be confusing, but its perfectly clear on my mind. :silly:
I really need to make a video explaining everything... ASAP.
Still Trying

I can dual boot etc. I can do this through Ubuntu by editing the grub command, I have not tried using the REMIX bootloader because it will overwrite the one I am currently using. I have managed to have dual partitions on my stick, but alas cannot boot to the partition needed. Do you have any idea how to edit the lines for booting to the ext 4 on the stick? Its a little different than my Ubuntu grub edit and it just wonte see the secondary partition. Install went fine i look at the files and it's all there just cant figure out hot to edit the current boot config to boot proper -partition.
Thanks and totally get ya. :silly::laugh:

wow... I had to mount the partitions manually on Ubuntu on the terminal ( like "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tempsda1" ). you should try somethings like that... just listing the partitions on all drives.
Good luck ! o/ :silly:
