Broke my NT screen & replaced but now touchscreen capability doesn't work. I have been trying to return to stock & go from there but am unable to get that done w/o touch.
I am assuming I didn't get a defective screen but cannot be sure.
Anybody have any suggestions for me?
Thank you!

boot into it(remove) and then insert

flash that sucker
and hope it works
METHOD 2 (might be easier, but results in root and other apps)

(methods above uses no screen, only side buttons and the n)
please reply because i am interested to see if this works
I can't boot to an sd card. Tried Method 2 & was not able to boot to the card. Flashed the image to the card, put it in the Nook, powered down 8xs & get the blue menu but then can't get the zip image to work.
Sorry, I am a noob in may respects & I'm really foundering here. In method 1 I don't even know how to make a new MSDOS partition table and add a 50 MB FAT32 partition as the first primary partition.
I fear I am up the proverbial creek!
interesting...
method one 50 mb http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
why can you not boot from SD
and
by blue menu do you mean the clock works mod
and what do you mean by 'can't get the zip image to work.' what is happeneing
concern:
well you said that it was a hardware screen damage
so TECHNICALLY the software should work as created since that was 'untouched'
thinking...
Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you; I’ve had company & no time to address this again.
I will try & explain the steps I have taken, although, as I have explained my tech speak is limited at best.
I am using a 2gb sd card (believe it or not I snapped my 32gb card in half while replacing the screen)
I just now tried to use method 1. I thought I followed the instructions exactly found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
but now my computer doesn't detect the sd card at all, nothing when I plug & unplug the card.
Previously when I said 'get the blue menu' yes, I mean clock works mod.
I think somehow during the use of Partition Wizard 7 the card reader on my comp was fried. I bought a brand new 16gb card; when inserted in the adapter, then into the onboard reader, PW7 shows both cards as 'bad disk'
woah woah woah...well first i was 'gone' for a couple of days due to freshman finals. (dont be like...well this young foo aint going to help...cuz i try to)
second--> the chip could not have gotten fried...check if it works with the native software (windows explorer) and with other SD cards
and how is it one snaps the 32gb sd. like you forgot it inside the device...or while taking it out it 'broke'
back to my third post---> and what do you mean by 'can't get the zip image to work.' what is happening
like is it an md5 sum error or...
obviously this is a very technically problematic because by now...other devs would be helping...
Finally figured out sd card reader on my comp quit working - card's okay in different comp. Snapped the 32gb card when removing the back of the NT. (My bad-forgot it was in the tablet & removing back with card in snaps the card in 2)
Finally got the NT returned to stock (Kudos to Ray Waldo.com)
Now I have working stock NT but still no touch capabilities. My best guess is that the touch digitizer of the screen is bad & since warranty was for 30 days seller won't exchange. (It has been 40 days) Seller is not appreciative of the fact that I have been trying to get this thing working & I too was on vacation.
So unless someone has another idea of what might be wrong, I'm up a creep.
I really appreciate your efforts & the help I have received.
From my reading the touch part is not sold with the LCD display. I assume you purchase the digitizing touch part too.
"7" Nook TABLET IPS LCD Screen Display Repair Replacement. This item is the exactly inner IPS LCD screen dispaly (without Touch screen digitizer glass) for Nook TABLET , easy to change, plug into the board, ....."
Most manufactures have internal diagnostics, can you somehow run these? Who ever your vendor was they should be able to get you the manufactures information. If nothing else you may be able to send it to them for testing.
I did take two laptops apart to combine them into one working one, lots of thin flat cables that went directly into connectors. I did observe that some held well, some did not insert fully and some did not stay in very well. Could you problem be a loose cable?

I'll tell you a strange issue (additional to the already mentioned on other posts) of the micro SD, I found and tested it today, and i have not resolved it yet.
ISSUE:
without notice, the phone is switched on etc, shows the notification "SD Removed, Please enter a new one", I thought it was strange since I had changed the micro with another, a san disk 16gb HC, nothing of strange.
i restart the phone, but the notification does not go away. i begin to be worried, 'cause it usually disappears.
I remove the backpanel, the secure of microsd and take it off.
So far nothing abnormal belief, and reinsert it.
The phone still does not see the new microsd.
i was in street so didn't proceed with further testing and i messd up for a while. arrived home i tried with 3 other microsd, the default supplied by LG, with still the old data within, and no one of them were detected
NEW two maxell 2gb microSD, HC always, are not detected.
I thought it was a pin problem, but keeping the vertical microsd clearly known that the pins are aligned correctly
(1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1).
restarting the phone with and without early MicroSim they are not recognized.
The PC and other phones are working properly.
I also made a restore procedure from privacy-settings, but still no sign of life.
any suggestion?

mine problem as i told is not an unmount problem but the absolute not detection mode, i tried the cards on another phone, all of them works.
by the way today i pick up the battery, and i looked for the little white warranty sticker, and it is a f****' pale pink!
the phone had no contact with water or everything like that, so it's impossible that i burned my warranty in this f****' way!
by the way i think is an hware problem, and i think is caused from some components on the little board on the upper side of the phone where are the antenna, speakers, vibrator engine, and the sd slot.
I had similar problem, my LG came up with error message that the micro sd card was damaged, i tried 3 different card and always had the same message.
I took my 16Gb sandisk card out of the phone and to a card reader.
The card worked perfectly on my PC so i started to take a backup of the card and then run some problem diagnostic tool and thank god, it finished and promped that some errors where fixed.
Since than it has worked perfectly in my optimus one...

let me understand better, u ran the diagnostic tools on for the SD card or for the lg optimus one?, and if the second, can u post, send pm, with the link of them? Many many anyways for the answer =)
I simply ran the diagnostic tools on the sd card conected to my pc via usb card reader in win7. I was about to give up on this when i decided to try this, tough i didn't think it would actually work. but it did.....
someone at LG should look into this, my friend experienced exacly the same problem with optimus GT540. it was after installing some custom rom in his case, but i still have the original firmware, i haven't done any hacks but rooting, wich i don't belive could cause this problem...
oh, and i hope i am making my self clear, my english is not perfect since it's not my first language..
I do confirm.
This happened on my new phone.
Without any reason.
I would like to swap the factory 2Gb HD in my Nook Touch with Glowlight. To do this, I realize that I must first open up the device. I must take off the back cover. Do I need a special tool for this?
My credentials:
I've been searching all day for any information on this, even remotely similar.
This would fall under battery replacement, FYI.
Rooting forums are not opening the nook anymore to get to the Nook Software.
Yes I have been rooting Nooks since they first came out.
I don't plan on rooting this device, just upgrading the HD.
I plan on using Linux and doing a "dd to nook.iso" (if you don't understand that, you probably can't help me.)
I don't need any help with the software side, just removing the plastic back without breaking it.
Thank you to anyone who can help me.
I don't think it would work this way. Probably those are IC soldered to a board, and pretty much useless to remove it. Ever tried using a larger capacity SD card?
There is no HD inside nook, memory IC is sandisk SDIN5D2 iNAND flash in TFBGA package which is soldered to pcb.
Have you got the skills to desolder/solder this kind of package?
No SD???
There is NO SD card that they put the Android OS on? That is strange since it is exactly 2gb on the Nook Touch Simple with Glow Light.
Haven't they always used Micro SD cards?
Is this a new attempt at trying to stop people from rooting?

Ooh! Side loaded SD card! Neat!
i recently got a streak 5 unit. its got a stock rom (olleh) and nothing has been modified yet for this unit. in fact it is still locked to at&t and i was still planning on having it unlocked by a professional. the wifi worked so i use it in order to have a 'feel' for the unit. now the other day it just froze up and the power button to shut it down won't respond so i did the next logical thing to do by simply removing the battery and putting it back. unfortunately nothing happened and it won't even charge nor lights lit up for any indications. i already did some time researching and did the fastboot short-cuts, etc, etc.. up to trying to get 3 computers to detect but to no avail. there are claims that this unit is 'unbrickable' by itself but made me really doubt about the claims and as to why dell itself stop its support. i'm guessing that maybe dell cannot replace so many busted units that they too had to give up or lose more money but that is their issue, right? now going back to the problem: i already borrowed a cable and a battery and both are working using a different unit. its just this one that simply refused to be charged nor power up using a different fully-charged battery. i still won't be giving up, not yet. so back to my main question: would it simply just die or conked out?
The problem is the internal card, if you replace the card the dell is going to start and rebuild everything. I help a friend of mine with a death streak, not responding. Replace the internal card and it was like new.

i really appreciate the reply. currently i do not have any spare 16gb card with me nor the unit, i set it aside for a moment with both the battery and external card removed and was planning to continue to thinker with it as soon as i get over the frustration (he-he!). this i haven't tried yet about replacing the card. would a 2gb card do for the moment? should i reformat it first using a pc? i never thought the unit would be 'boot-dependent' on its external card. i already did tried to boot the said unit without its stock 16gb external card to no avail. i shall try this when i get back home and keep you posted of the development.
hmm... you really missed what the guy said... it is internal card... the card is inside the streak where you need to open the housing of the hardware itself, not just the back cover.. see here...
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1
good luck on doing it... while you on it, try to get a class 10 microsd card... though you might not see much the improvement of speed but it is there... get a 8gb card or below for max compatibility and detection... anything above 8gb usually needs some extra steps to make it run properly...
so what you have been talking about for external card doesnt have any impact to the streak at all since it is external card.. but internal card does...
i will stop here... any further possible question usually already being answered here on this forum... search for it...

yeah, in my early excitement i did missed to notice that he mentioned internal, not external. it's alright, no further questions for me. i've been on board since 2009 and usually i just quitely search for answers for windows mobile units, not android. i just brought out my old htc tytn ii and restored it back to wm 6.1 with my favorite bloat-free applications. i will just hold back until the first few months next year before i purchase a new unit but definitely a non-dell product. i also appreciate the 'take-down' links. in return i might send you a link where you can watch me blow up the dell streak 5 with a powerful firecracker during the upcoming end-of-the-year celebration. i'll make sure that no one will be troubled by its parts should it would be used somewhere. my lousy experience with a dell unit ends with me..

i disassembled my unit (it was relatively easy after all) and tried to replace its internal memory to no avail.
this just happened 10 minutes ago. a slightly critic friend of mine whose got a same unit earlier tried to disclaim what i did before my unit died (i did nothing remember?). anyways, he demonstrated that even by removing the back cover a few times won't brick the streak 5. which he did and as of typing time, he could not charge nor boot his unit anymore. after witnessing the unfortunate event i really am stumped even more.
for your streak, how bout trying qdl tool? some member did report a success in making the device boot up like normal again...

hmm, already did that. besides it won't do much good if the unit won't even power up (normal, fastboot, etc..)
QDL mode actually doesn't boot your device, it activates a small modem-like fw.
To check -
Remove battery, hold volume up, connect Streak to PC, holding the volume up.
If any new device if shown in computer management, there's a chance to restore device.

Hey all,
I thought I would share my findings to help others with the same issue.
Two days ago I kept catching glimpses of a card image in the notifications at the top of the screen, but it would only be for a second so I could not see what it was trying to tell me. But had a quick look and sd card seemed fine and all data was present on handset. A couple of hours later it popped up with "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed". I tried ejecting and reinserting,restarting device and turning off and removing battery all to no avail. So I did a quick search which showed this seemed to be quite a common issue, after reading many threads with people saying the sd card is corrupt or network providers saying it was software and to do a restore. I decided before all that hassle I would open the phone and check the circuitboard expecting it to be a dry solder joint. One thing I will point out that was different to some other users is the fact my sd card was not visible with the phone connected to the computer, so this may not solve all related issues.
THE FIX
Turn off phone, remove the battery, SIM card and sd card. Remove all screws except the one by the 3.5mm jack. Gently pull the white plastic trim that surrounds the card holders and battery but the top part with speaker and camera does not need removing. Once removed if you look to the left of the sd card holder you will see the ribbon that connects the sd card to the main circuit board and at the end of the ribbon is the connector. Mine was disconnected and was loose, even if yours is not loose it would be worth gently pulling it off and reconnecting it. Then reassemble in the reverse order.
This was a nice surprise in the sense it was a very simple fix. However when I mounted the sd card even directly in my pc it was not found, I assume that the loose connector floating about had probably shorted its connections and caused an issue with the sd card. After a handfuls of attempts at mounting it in my pc it was finally detected and I backed up all the data and reformatted the sd card, then copied the data back,mounted it in my phone and was happy to find it all working as expected.
I hope this information will help some of you out, as it was a simple fix to a simple issue and results from searching had no solutions, just lots of assumptions.
And what can I do
Hi
I read your articles and seem very good but u have a question.
I had the same issue and I saw that every time my phone said I hat message it creates in my sd card a folder named lost. I and then i saw that one part of my battery was going there, ti reconnect the phone with my sd card
I formatted my sd card and did all the things that I found in the Internetbut nnothing works and I just change my sd for another one I had and sincethere u ddon't have any other issue, but my computer detects very good my first sd card and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Any idea?
Regards
Recently ive just faced this issue, what I did is to insert my 32gb sd card in my PC and run CHKDISK, havent got any error while performing this, thereafter i inserted it in my phone & goodness till now this sd card error hasn't appear yet. (finger crossed).
Mine did something like this a few times and then the 32GB Sandisk class 10 card died. Couldn't get it to work in any device except Linux based Media player. Luckily managed to copy my nadroid backup and TB backup. Sent to Sandisk and they replaced it. There is already a thread about S3 damaging teh SD cards. May be the loose connection is what's causing the card to to end up dead.

Yeah,as mentioned I have seen a lot of issues about sd cards, this is the first issue I have had and thought it would be worth mentioning. There is little space when the case is together so it could easily still make contact and seem fine even if the connector has worked loose and cause all kinds of issues. As mentioned mine had the sd icon popping up every now and then before it actually failed. Some users seem to be going through a lot of sd cards with them failing on a regular bassis.
I've been using my 32gb card since my last phone which was the LG Optimus 3D it is a scandisk class 10 one. Anyway i took it out of the 3D and stuck it into my S3 i still have not had a problem. I did take it out a few times to put a rom in because i wiped my phone and didn't have a rom in the Sd card. Also i dropped my phone and replaced the whole front silver bumper bit the whole digitizer because i dropped my phone while playing basketball. It still works. It has been a year now it has been in two phones and still works great. I must be lucky..
I got mugged for the SD though i bought it last year for £60 from Argos a store in the UK. Now you can get them for half the price oh well.. I am waiting for the 128gb ones to come out so going to buy one lol..
today also my Sandisk Ultra HC I 32GB it's died, tomorrow I'll test with pc but no sign of life :crying: WTF samsung !!!
hey i have the same issue with an 32gb sd card, it was workking great and then i was getting the error about
"SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" and then i tried everything i could and my computer detect the sd card and it seems to be working normal but in my phone i have the error over and over again and it was draining my battery too, and the only thing i did was change to another 16gb sd card and this one is working.
maybe there is a problem with the 32gb sd cards
I have a 16GB Sandisk UHS-1 card and i have been getting this issue as well, and its becoming more and more frequent. Whenver it happens, the ringtones/notifications for certain apps like Gmail and Message get reset as the ringtones i set were stored in the sdcard. Also the photo frame app i have on my homescreen often resets to nothing as the pictures were also stored in the sdcard. Its really annoying because I can leave my phone sleeping, only to wake it up realizing my ringtones are all set to silent and my photo frame has been reset. At least i know its a common problem. damn you samsung!
Has anyone actually tried checking the connection on the ribbon as suggested? Mine has been fine since and works fine.

There is no way anyone would know you have opened it, the screws are all Philips instead of t6. As long as you use the correct screwdriver it won't damage the heads and will leave no sign of entery and it takes around 10 mins to complete. Or you could take it to Samsung to do but seems a lot of hassle for such a simple fix.
Also most people are rooted without concern of the warranty.
So there's no seals or stickers that are broken?

Nope, no sticker or seals and just so you know all screws to remove the back are identical, there are only two screws inside which are different but do not need removing for this. You only need a Philips screwdriver ( I used a ph00 x 40) as long as the screwdriver fits the screw well it will not damage the head. Once screws are out a flat head screwdriver or similar are helpfull to prise the back off.
Hi Guys,
A little feedback from my experience with this.
I too was experiencing the "Unexpectedly Removed" error on my 32GB Class10 Sandisk.
It was playing havok with my setup because I use a 8GB Ext4 Partition on the card, where I move 90% of my apps. (About 6GB of that is used by games + their "external" data), and it keeps my phone and FAT32 partition free for important stuff. (I use Link2SD and DirectoryBind)
The problem is, after the device wakes, Link2SD can't find any of the apps, so I can't start any of them, and I have to do a full reboot to get them back. :/
So, after searching and searching, I couldnt find a valid solution.
I tried with a 16GB class10 Samsung, and a 32GB Class10 Samsung card. Exact same setup. NO ISSUES.
Everything works perfectly.
Then I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933743&page=2
Where most of them are experiencing this error with Sandisk cards.
Apparently, it's a known issue with Sandisk Cards (especially the 32GB models), and cards sold after December 2012 no longer experience this.
I have contacted Amazon.co.uk about replacing the card as it's only 2 months old, still waiting for their answer. Will update if anyones interested.
cheers

A curious question if I may.
Was this a SanDisk Ultra (UHS) card? Most (if not all) Android phones do not have a proper UHS-I driver today and, although the card is supposed to switch down automatically, that transition time can fool the OS sometimes.

I read something about UHS compatibility, so I got an SD-HC

Is it the same thing?
Hmmm. Ok, might be getting somewhere.
Any idea if these cards have an internal "power saving" system that maybe kicks in if voltage drops below a certain level?

Yes, the red and Grey SanDisk cards are UHS.
Yes, they definitely have controllers and the host device can command them (if it knows how). I know that they allow In System Programming (ISP) for updating firmware. They support auto-standby, power-off and sleep modes but am not certain if the card would switch without command. Check the SD link in my signature if you really need more info.

I tested my SanDisk 64GB Ultra card in a Note 2 and it had the same symptoms (Mine were worse, with the card locking up while playing music after a few minutes, causing mmc timeout errors in the kernel).
I switched to a Samsung 64GB Pro card and since then I haven't had any issue. It's also twice as fast.
The amount of headaches this SanDisk card gave me is insane, probably the last time I buy a card from them.
i have sandisk ultra class 10 32gb. try this setup. use minitool to reformat your card then set it the cluster size to 16kb.
for me so far so good. will test this in a couple of days.
Hello all. Iam new to this, but I am hoping someone can help me out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II from Verizon. I have installed a San Disk 32gb MicroSD card. I used the phone to format the card. I then created folders for music, photos, videos, etc. Next I set these new folders as the defaults for these file types, so that any music and photos, ect, will be stored on the external MicroSD card.
Now my problem: I copied all of my music files (about 1400, all in MPG3 format) to the music folder on the MicroSD card. However, when I attempt to play the music, a song will play for a second or 2, then jump to another song. It keeps doing this. If I play the song (stored on the phone) on my laptop (phone is connected via USB) it does the same thing. It will play a second or so, then stop.
I have deleted and recopied the music several times, I have turned the phone off then back on, nothing seems to help. Sometimes, after attempting to play music on the phone, and it reacts this way, I'll go back to the music folder, and suddenly it shows about 330 songs, not 1400 that were there before. A little while later, it will show all 1400 songs, but they still won't play properly.
I don't know if there is something I need to do with the phone, or the MicroSD card. I also noticed that 4 of my photos in my "images" folder would no longer display on the phone. After re-starting the phone, the 4 image files were gone completely.
This is driving me CRAZY!!! Someone please help!!
Thank you all very much for your support.

Oops!! I titled this thred as "MicroDS" instead of "MicroSD". Sorry
Is it a new card? One from Ebay or other unreputable seller? If so, you may have been scammed. Google "h2testw", it is a free program used to verify USB memory. It wirtes the entire drive full of data and then attempts to read it back. It will quickly uncover a fake SD card.
If that is not the case, then I don't have any ideas. The symptoms sure sound like a fake card though. The really crappy thing about the fakes is a lot of people loose valuable data when they move stuff to one of these cards. It all looks like it is there, but nothing beyond a few Kb transfers. Most of the time these are 4gb or smaller cards that have had some hacking done to display themselves as much larger. After the actual memory size is full, the file index continues to register files written, but they are physically not there at all.
Good Luck,
Jason

Hi, I really need help with this. I have the exact same issue except that I've tried 3 different 64gb sd cards now (from 2 different sellers on eBay) and have had the same results. I've tried different methods of transfer and different file types, same thing every time. The h2testw program doesn't detect my phone (phone mem or sd card) so I can't use that.
Now, I will say, all of these cards were ~$30 but were bought from high-rated sellers. Did I just happen to buy 3 hacked cards in a row?

Same here bought my from ebay 35 bucks first day popped into phone was fine phone read the card. Then i rebooted to flash aosp rom no go with card trued different computers some read card some dont and tryingbto format i get errors or cant complete action. In read on line you can format with a digital camera to UN corrupt the card will try later and report back . I you can try before that would be nice. I have 9 hrs left at work so.

Get a micro SD USB adapter and do H2Wtestw. The phones only mount MTP or PTP, you cannot run the test on the card in the phone, it has to be mounted as a USB mass storage device on the PC, and yes, I have no doubt that you got three hacked cards in a row. Virtually every high capacity card on ebay is fake. Most people see it mounts as the listed size and leave good feedback, it's too late to adjust your feedback when it eats all your data. Do some research, it is well documented out on the internet as to how many counterfiet cards are out there on eBay.

I have had similar problems with a lexar 32GB card. I noticed that when I copied files using the phone to transfer the files that many were incomplete. To verify this open a file browser and check the file sizes. I have another problem with my MicroSD as well. I randomly get an error stating that the card is damaged and needs formatted. I changed the format to exFat which has slowed the problem but it still does this occasionally. I an going to RMA the card and see if another card will perform better. I hope it isn't a problem with the phone because I don't feel like wasting time dealing with returning it to stock and setting up new one.
Is there a a good brand to buy like samsung ..also what does the card(say 64gb) need to be formatted to??

Samsung, Sandisk, etc. The key is ONLY buy it from someone reputable, i.e. direct from Amazon, NOT one of their resellers, and NOT from eBay. There is no free lunch. A 64GB Class 10 will cost you $50-$60, if its less do NOT buy it, its a knock-off.
Sandisk comes preformatted as exFAT. This is compatible with Samsung Touchwiz and TWRP recovery. It allows very large file sizes.
CM, ASOP roms, and CWM recovery do not support exFAT. You will need to format to Fat32 if you plan to use them. There is a file size limit of 4GB, and you will need third party software to format 64GB on Windows.
