I tried to use Titanium Backup (Stock 2.2.2 rooted with GingerBreak) to move multiple apps to SD card. The process hung and I eventually had to kill it. Afterward some of he apps (toward the end of the alphabet) were just missing from the phone. They would not install, and nothing would install, so I did a factory reset assuming that I could reinstall Titanium backup - but now NO apps will update or install. They all just hang saying that they are "installing."
I have a 32gb SD card and it reports 22.63GB available space, but the internal card says 1.46GB available. I can't connect via USB - that process just hangs too. I can't sideload apps - the process stalls. Emails, etc., do download - but I don't really want to use the GMAIL app.
Any ideas? How do I fix the internal SD card?

Thanks for the reply. How do I reformat the internal SD Card? I can't get a USB connection - if that is necessary to do it.
(Does anyone know why search has been disabled in the form software? That makes finding stuff a real pain.)
You cab do it from Streakmod recovery

I've never installed Streakmod recovery and I don't think I can install it now - since I can't install anything. . Is there any other way? Can I do an update via a zip file on the SD card to reformat the internal card?
(I really really appreciate your help.)

Streakmod is flashed via fastboot... if you haven't read the several threads and guides about how to mod the Streak now would be the time
Thanks! There are only Macs where I stay during the week - but I'll have access to a PC and time to work on this in a couple of weeks. My old iPhone 3GS is working okay with the sim card for now.
fastboot is available for linux/win/osx, it's included in fastboot+adb.zip in the dev subforum, I cant actually help with getting it working on osx as I dont have a mac/too lazy to install osx in a VM though.

I have installed streakmod recovery, but I see no way to format the internal SD card from there. How do I do this? I've done a factory reset multiple times and I still get no ability to install apps.
I can't even install apps via ADB. Here is the output I get (it just hangs).

Are you sure the apk you're sending is valid?
You can either:
reinstall a known working app
Copy the apk from the device to your pc
uninstall the app on the device
reinstall the same app with adb
OR verify the app isnt corrupt (if you have java installed)
<path to java\bin>\jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs <path to apk>
if it's not valid that would be a reason
Nothing will install - period. I do a factory reset and Market can't even update itself. It just hangs "installing." I installed SuperUser using the fastboot option of installing update.zip - but nothing else installs.
Internal phone storage says 1.45GB Available space after a factory reinstall of the OS.

Did you also reformat your outerSD card?
At this point obviously something is very wrong with your device storage.
As a last resort you could pull the innerSD and flash reflash it with the template image in the other thread on reflashing the innerSD.
I've replaced the outer CD card and also run it without an SD card.
How much space should be available on the inner SD after a clean factory reset?
I'm not quite ready to take the phone apart to reach the inner SD - as I hear that that is not a trivial task - but I may end up doing that.

[Q] "Cannot finish download. There is not enough space." Error Message - CM7
So I rooted the Nook a while back with the SD card, but finally decided to put on CM7 using the internal method, since the largest SD card I have is 2GB.
My device is not letting me download anything and I get the error "Cannot finish the download. There is not enough space". Even if I want to download something that is just a few KBs.
I've tried changing the download directory on Dolphin Browser, but it makes me download to the SDCard directory.
Also, when I plug the Nook into my computer via USB, I see "Boot: (H", but I don't see the SD Card, which I believe I used to.
I put the micro-SD card back into the adapter and into my computer, it says I have 69.4 MB of used space, and 0 bytes of free space. This is a 2GB card.
If I try to transfer a file from my laptop to the internal storage via USB, it tells me I do not have enough space as well (even though the file is only 1MB).
I'd really appreciate any help, also it's my understanding that I need to download GAPPS in order to get the google play market working.. correct?
are u in windoze 7 and forgot to run as administrator ?
in file explorer, if you right click on the sd card, what does it say about it ?
I'm on Vista...
I guess I am confused about what you are asking. Here is what the general properties say:
SD: Boot
Filesystem: FAT 32
Used Space: 69.4 MB
Free Space: 0 MB
Capacity: 69.4 MB
( i do not own vista... i'm still running xp . . . lol ) um, it sounds like you have only r/o ( read-only ) privileges to that device.

That seemed very likely, but I was actually able to delete some photos that were on the SD card that I had before, and was able to put another one on there. When I try to load it on the nook, I get the error "The android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.".
I click "Force Close" and it keeps popping up repeatedly. It also shows then whenever I try to download anything.

one of my favorite rules is : 'when in doubt, wipe it out' ! . some try this. . copy all your stuff off the sd and park it temporarily on a hard disk sub-dir. . then use a good utility to refresh the device ( sdformatter ? ). . then try the sd in the android again.
.
um, ( a lite bulb goes on above my head ), you believe you gotta a glitch in the android and your sd card is fine . . . wow, that could be very true.

so 'android.process.media' is broken... ugg. . this is where i heard you have to re-flash ( with wiping data and cache ) to fix...

I will try that. Just seems odd it only started happening once I installed CM7.
Might be too simple but when downloads have failed for me with the message you mentioned I have completely powered down my Nook, waited a few minutes, then restarted it. It cleared up the 'not enough space' problem. Doesn't solve your SD card problem, but might resolve your failed downloads.
Got the same message initially....downloading using XP.....you didn't unzip the folder downloaded first so you are trying to download compresses boot.img file (I think that's what happenned, although it sounds counter intuitive). Anyway instead of left clicking directly on downloaded folder to open (which contains only one file...boot.img) unzip the folder first.....right click unzip...save outside of original downloaded folder. Now you have it! Use that file.
Hope I'm recalling this correctly, it was a few days ago! Give it a whirl.

android memory error
I was receiving this same "low memory" error message on my phone and found a simple and easy app on the market called simply enough "Market Fix". It is free and with the touch of one button, fixed all my market issues. Don't know how it works but it saved me alot of frustration. I don't see why it would work for the nook tablet as well. It's worth a shot before wiping.
re: not enough space error
Saw in development thread that there was a limit placed on number of downloads of CM7 permitted which was met...but developer has resolved that issue. Other people were having trouble downloading the ROM but don't know if this was the error message they got.
Perhaps this was the source of your problem in downloading ROM rather than my explanation above?
CHeck last few pages of CM7 thread where you got instructions and links for installing ROM.
Hope you get it all worked out.

I was getting the same error message. Could not get rid of this error even when I removed a significant portion of my apps. The system info always showed lots of room but the message continued. I think I have blundered on the solution. I have the Nook Tablet which was partitioned and then rooted. Many people have noted that NT comes with Netflix installed and that Google Play continuously wants to updated this app. It seems that if you update Netflix it confuses the system and Netflix is installed on the B&N Partition as well as the portion reserved for other apps. I un-installed Netflix update as well as any apps that come from B&N as well as Google Play so there are not duplicates. Seems to have worked. Worth a try.

Try wiping out dalvik cache either through cwm recovery or titanium backup. I had a similar error while installing apps through sideloading apks and doing the above fixed that problem.

Hi, i got this problem when I enable swap SD to external on my note2.. (Omega V9.1 rom, RedHill V1.0 kernel.). After some search, found that it is because the broswer setting -<Advance>- <Default storage> must change from memory card --> Device (since I had swap ExtSD & SD). With this set, all browser download is running smoothly..:laugh:

You are aware that this is both a very old thread, and also it's about Nook Tablet ?
I'm sure the problem was solved one way or another, or we would have heard more about it, but FWIW I'm pretty sure that in this case it was caused by CM7 mounting the SD card as internal storage, and all that was needed was restoring the card to it's full capacity (or inserting another card). Like LaveroBurgos suggests.
Please don't delete or move this thread.
I am taking the time to write this to help others.
I spent 6+ hours trying to sort through this information when in reality it should have taken only 30 minutes.
I have a Nook TABLET 16gb model.
Step I - Installing CWM. You will be installing CWM onto your EXTERNAL 8gb microsdcard NOT the internal Nook storage.
post #14 from this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21895025#post21895025
But some of it is not so clear.
This is what to do.
Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?dwwhzaixwwh2015
Now follow these steps.
1. Download the packages listed above and extract them to your desktop.
extract ALL the files from the single zip.
2. Open the Win32DiskImager.exe flasher and browse for the .img that
you extracted from the same zip
3. Put your 8gb SD Card into your nook or reader, and select the drive (your external 8gb sdcard) letter from the drop down on the right. Press write, and wait
4.Once it has completed, Turn your Nook off.
5. Turn your Nook on while holding both the N+Power button. Your device will turn on, and then turn off after holding it.
NOTE: Do not let go of either button until your device has powered on and off again.
NOTE: If it is already in there eject it and then put it back in.
Power your Nook on normally and wait 30 seconds.
You will see a picture of N on the screen followed by a box with a white background followed by CWM booting up.
6. Select install from internal
Select the ROM you downloaded in Step 2 below.
Install, do a wipe data factory reset along with wiping all caches
Reboot device and wait a bit....done
NOTE: Remove the SD card after your device reboots as if you don't it will continue to boot from the SD card.
Step II - Installing ROMS
ICS - follow this and get the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534192
JB - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773362
JB will give you Touch Recovery without booting from SDcard
GAPPS - where is the gapps? http://goo.im/gapps here, get the most recent when you install gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
There is a way to install CWM/TWR on the Tablet itself by fastbooting the recovery.img file which is in the ICS link above.
I just wrote this up, it takes 30 minutes to download and install everything.
I am trying ICS for right now.
You can flash a custom recovery to internal using terminal emulator on the device itself as well, just an fyi.
dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
where "/recovery.img" is the file path/file name of the recovery image
Not sure if that exact command will work for the 8gb, possibly not as I believe the partitions are a bit different.
---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------
It should also be noted that you don't need an 8gb sd card to create the external recovery card. You could use something as small as a 1gb I believe (probably even smaller, I forget how large that recovery is).
Well, after flashing, I end up with a 72 megabyte BOOT partition with no room for anything on it.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Agreed I'm in the same boat, and i supposed to have two SD cards?
Edit: While our question gets answered i found a work around, just place the actual Rom (zip) on the internal nook memory, then when in recovery navigate to internal sd card and select the zip file. While this may work when installing the Rom and Gaaps (because they are relatively small) you will have next to no room on the nook.

Sorry if I'm hijacking your post, but something that i found works really well: Install CWM through the OP's way, then Install any Rom, once booted into the rom download GooManager from the play store, go into Goomanager's settings then press Install TWRP script, this will install a recovery (similar to CWM, but with touch screen) to your internal memory on the nook. From this point you can reformat the SD card and use it as normal.
Hello All,
I can see my files are all there (on the external sd card located permanently inside the TF201) when look via the pc but recovery doesn't seem to be able to mount the internal sdcard so I cannot get at the zip files I put on the internal sdcard to flash from recovery.
I was running a very happy TF201 running Virtuous Prime until I decided to change a font a few days ago. That was a bad move. On reboot everything was stuck on the intro splash screen. I managed to get into recovery & somehow managed to get my new rom (CM10 ish) flashed & i thought all was well until I realised that in all the 'heat of battle' the usual wipe re wipe/wipe dalvick/reset privileges routine had been omitted from my routine. Worse still I had flashed the rom but not yet flashed the Jelly Bean GAPPS.
So the system was still hanging at the splash screen (although this time at least it was the CM10 splash screen (progress is so sweet) but now, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, when I go into recovery to apply a zip from an sdcard I get told that E:Can't mount /sdcard/ so I cant get at my file to flash!
I'm 3 days into this now & I am definitely loosing the plot so please please give me a nudge in the right direction .A have adb up & running & have just fastbooted a new recovery img over onto the prime because I read that this might sort my problem. Well, it didn't so here I am. Please assume I am a noob 1st class although I may surprise you with some of my knowledge that I've picked up over the last few days & years working in systems (though not Android) so maybe I wont!
Get this sorted with me & I'll be forever in your debt. Please let me know what other information you may need to give me a push in the right direction. Thanks for reading this & thanks for deciding to help me hang on to that thread of sanity that is left.
I have also asked for help on TransformerForums; because I'm new to this site I cannot provide you with the link. Sorry.
correct me if i got this wrong; so you are able to get into CWM und you see your device via
Code:
adb devices
right?
now can you push files via
Code:
adb push
to your device?
If so we had the exact same problem don't worry theres a fix for this:
first if you're in adb type:
Code:
adb shell
now you should see this "#" somewhere in front of your command line
type
Code:
ls
now it should show you the folders on your device, try to navigate to the directory /data/media via
Code:
cd /data/media/
now push the rom you want to flash in this directory, for example:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /data/media/ROM.zip
the rom should be in the same folder as your adb.exe
essentially /data/media is your internal storage so you should now be able to flash the rom of your choice.
I hope i could help because I had almost exactly the same problem and was about to go crazy until i found this solution

This has sorted the problem. Thank you very much for this. Could you please tell me the significance of the 'ls' line?
I followed your instruction which resulted in my being able to flash a ROM which still hung at the intro flash screen. Since I could now see the internal file system was mounting (& accessible) I decided to attempt to replace the recovery package with TWRP which is absolutely fantastic; you are able to access both internal & external sdcards + there's a very intuitive 'touch' UI.
I was beginning to wonder if I was going to get out of this one, but, thanks to you all is well.
ls is just to ensure you are in the right directory. the next time your rom is stuck at the boot screen try to give it some more time if this doesn't work wipe the dalvik and cache via recovery and it should be able to boot if flashing was successful. and yes you are absolutly right TWRP is waaay better than CWM. Glad I was able to help you get this sorted.
Enjoy your Weekend

No dice
I have same issue as user above. I connect my TF201 to my computer and I get Driver issues saying This device cannot start. (Code 10). I did everything restared computer, deleted drivers scan hardware changes reinstalled drivers, and everything. I can't get the adb working. I keep scanning and it says there isn't any devices.
I had a bad ROM flash and my TF201 will no longer boot. I can get it into the CWM v5.8.3.4 but it will not read my SD card. I tried 3 SD cards and none of them will read. I formatted them FAT32 from what I read and even tried FAT and NTFS just to see if that made a difference and that didn't work. WHen I click to install zip from sdcard it points to my internal storage. I created a backup but again just my luck the first time while reading on ways to fix the issue I ended up in the Asus fastboot load screen and being use to the CWM commands I hit volume down (moved cursor to the left hovering over wipe data) and hit volume up thinking it would go back to the USB symbol but that wiped all the data off the device.
I restared and booted back into CWM and selected install zip from SD card now nothing shows up since it no longer reads any internal data (accidently deleted) and it doesn't read my SD card.
So, at this point I feel I'm out of ideas. ADB doesn't work to try transfering a file directly to the device and CWM doesn't read SDcards so I can't flash a new ROM on the device to get it working again.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Why is CWM still used !!!!!

I have same issue as user above. I connect my TF201 to my computer and I get Driver issues saying This device cannot start. (Code 10). I did everything restared computer, deleted drivers scan hardware changes reinstalled drivers, and everything. I can't get the adb working. I keep scanning and it says there isn't any devices.
I had a bad ROM flash and my TF201 will no longer boot. I can get it into the CWM v5.8.3.4 but it will not read my SD card. I tried 3 SD cards and none of them will read. I formatted them FAT32 from what I read and even tried FAT and NTFS just to see if that made a difference and that didn't work. WHen I click to install zip from sdcard it points to my internal storage. I created a backup but again just my luck the first time while reading on ways to fix the issue I ended up in the Asus fastboot load screen and being use to the CWM commands I hit volume down (moved cursor to the left hovering over wipe data) and hit volume up thinking it would go back to the USB symbol but that wiped all the data off the device.
I restared and booted back into CWM and selected install zip from SD card now nothing shows up since it no longer reads any internal data (accidently deleted) and it doesn't read my SD card.
So, at this point I feel I'm out of ideas. ADB doesn't work to try transfering a file directly to the device and CWM doesn't read SDcards so I can't flash a new ROM on the device to get it working again.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Use Fastboot and flash TWRP Recovery. CWM still cannot use external sd cards! There are simple instructions on their website.
TWRP will give you the option to install from either the internal sd card or external sd card. I've found it to be a better bet all round than clockwork mod recovery. It uses a touch interface which saves more time than you'd imagine. Just one tip; occasionally the contents of the external sd card don't show. If that happens, just reboot into recovery (again) & everything will be as it should be. Hope this helps.!...

Did updating recovery sort this out? If not, shout & I may be able to help.
Some people act this way: come to ask for help, and never come back...

I tried to push it already, but I can't as mentioned before.
ADB recognizes my device, open 'adb shell' but push command don't work.
push file.zip /data/media/file.zip
*file is on the same folder as adb.exe
EDIT: Resolved using EasyFlasher Tool. As described on this post.
Hi, All
I got my XPU C6833 Rooted, Unlocked bootloader, and backup the stock rom with CWM recovery.
I flashed CM11 to the phone :fingers-crossed:. Now, I want to copy the Backup-stock-Image to my computer, but I couldn't find it anywere.
I see a Clockkworkmod folder in Internal SD Card but it only contains 2 tiny files (.last_install_path, .recovery_version).
Yes:
I could connect and transfere file between my phone and computers
I have USB driver install as well as Fastboot Driver.
The CWM Recovery show there is a back up to restore.
Thank you all for any inputs
Its not in /storage/emulated/0/clockworkmod/xxxxxxxx/ as it usually was on other devices but rather right below the root directory / if I'm right. I can't really check now because I haven't got a nandroid.. I stopped backing up my device long ago. I have no purpose of doing that.
The / directory is not a place you can reach with MTP as it only displays /storage/emulated/0 or the current user signed in on the device. Like user #2 being /storage/emulated/1 and so on.
You could use ADB to pull the directory to your pc or you can use a file manager app to copy the CWM backup directory to your home directory: /storage/emulated/0 and then transfer it to your pc.
Edit:
I noticed something. I rebooted to cwm and looked at the alternatives.
If you choose "backup to /sdcard" it will backup to the / directory because this is the root directory of the storage partition on the internal sd
If you choose "backup to /storage/sdcard1" it will backup to the external sdcard which is mounted at /storage/sdcard1/.
You see the difference? = When choosing backup to internal sd the alternative does not say that it will first cd in to the /storage directory and choose internal storage which is 0.
So with that said.... uhm... it will likely create the backup directory at /. Why? I dunno. I haven't googled it.. Perhaps its because of the MTP and multi user interface android introduced?
I still couldn't pull the back up image out.
I tried ES Explorer with ROOT, CM File Manager, Astro Filemanager, and (adb pull /sdcard/ c
I only got 2 tiny file, and that about it..
to make things very easy ... do you happen to have a spare micro sd card laying around if you not already have one in your device atm?
If you choose to write the nandroid to sdcard1 it should be in the root directory on the sdcard. Then its very easy to just eject the card and hook it up to a pc and transfer it to a safe location.
Could the folder be hidden in windows. Try to check in folder options. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/

I still have yet to fix my issue with storage. For some reason I have no Phone storage left, but almost all of my SD card storage is still empty. I thought that pictures and stuff were supposed to be stored on SD card.. or am I wrong??
Well that is not my major issue at the moment. I am actually having a problem with "write-protection"
I plugged my phone into my PC so that I can move my pictures and videos and stuff over to my SD card...
So i put my device USB Connection as a "camera (PTP)"
I found my photos, moved them to the SD card... and I wanted to delete them from the Phone Storage and when I try to delete a folder or file or anything from Phone Storage, it says "can not delete, the storage is write-protected"...
I have heard of it doing this when trying to delete from SD card... but why is m y phone saying that when I am trying to delete form the Phone Storage??
Can someone please help me out with this? I would appreciate it.. Thanks Guys!!
Which phone do you have? Is it the external sdcard u r talking about?

Enter "restorecon -FR /data/media/0" in the terminal in recovery mode
I hope this answers your question...
Many of the phones doesn't default to storing information to the MicroSD because it provides internal memory and not everyone uses a MicroSD.
There are 1 and/or 2 ways to tell the phone/app to store the information to the MicroSD.
1) Not all but, many apps have an option where you can specify where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).
.
2) Many but, not all phones have an option in their settings with an option to use an alternate location where to store the information (Some of the Verbiage used is MicroSD, External Card, Etc...).
Also, there is an app called "Link2SD" that i do use to handle where i can specify where to locate some/all the apps i install (External Storage.MicroSD, ext2 partition, etc...).
Link2SD does take a bit of getting used to on how to use it but, the developer (Bulent Akpinar) has a website that provides helpers.
Just keep in mind that most of the phone's capabilities are not automatic and requires you to do the work. :fingers-crossed:

The major issue was not getting things to store onto my SD card... my issue is the fact that I hooked up my phone to my PC using USB connection... and I am moving stuff from my phone memory to my external SD card... then I wanna delete the stuff from my phone memory, that I moved to my SD card... but it wont let me delete anything... it is saying that the disk is write-protected... (the disk being my phone memory not the SD card)
It wont let me delete anything from myt Phone memory...
so i need to know why it is saying that my phone is write protected and how to change it so i can delete from my phone storage
I have a verizon galaxy s4

& no... I am talking about my Phone storage not the SD card.... when i try to delete from my Phone storage, it says that it is write protected, and wont let me delete anything... ( i am hooked up to my PC using USB)
I had a similar issue and the culprit was the file permissions on the PC.
Maybe on your PC, try right clicking the file/folder of what you want to delete (within the Phone via the PC) and in the property selection, edit the ownership to your PC profile or PC Admin (if you have admin rights).
Just a thought...:fingers-crossed:
