Hi all, I have a problem. I bought a 32gb class 4 MicroSD card last year which I used on my Nook Tablet. After hating (really hating) the B&N rooted/custom launcher experience, I decided it was mandatory for me to install a custom ROM on it if only to learn how to install custom ROMs. Before I took the plunge, however, I found that it was possible to have a second boot on my SD card and boot CM7, so I didn't have to flash over the stock ROM (I was scared i'd break the tablet). Anyhow, after having a much better experience on CM7, I decided to flash CM9 on my Motorola Defy (wasn't easy) and was so amazed at how beautiful it was I knew I had to have it on my Nook. I flashed CM9 on emmc on my Tablet and it was so amazing I didn't put my CM7 card back in, ever.
After this, though, CM9 expired (of course, I didn't know it would) and when I went and tried to boot CM7, cyanoboot just wouldn't boot from it and now I can only access my SD card's emmc (I think, it's where the CM7 OS is). Now I have CM9 working again but I still can't use my SD card because when I tried to re partition using EASEUS it just won't recognize the card. I really don't know what to do now, I can't restore my SD card to how it was before double boot because I can't access any partition and the only thing I can do is look at the android 200mb partition.
Any thoughts?
You didn't mention that you do have a "external card reader". Hmm, if you can... use an 'external reader', then use 'SDFORMATTER ver. 3.1' .
.
What does your cell phone say about the card ? Can the phone format the card ?

WTH? How did I not think of that :silly:
My card is up and running on my nook after formatting it on my moto defy. I would've liked to backup some info but no biggie. Thank you!
PS: I was using my laptop card reader to see my card but I couldn't access any partition on EASEUS, but I shouldn't have despaired.

I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

Today i found a workarround using DISKPART (6 years later hehe)
Note that this will wipe your storage card so BACKUP !!
Hold [Win + R] and type in : diskpart (or launch cmd as admin and types: diskpart )
Every lines should be followed by enter key.
list disk
select disk *
(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers
So I'll be getting the fire for my wife and probably not rooting that right off the bat but I'll be getting the nook tab16g and was curious as to the safest/less hassle way to get cm7/root on it BEFORE b&n locks it down with either 1.4.2 or what have u. Dont let it connect to my wifi and make a root sd card in advance? Right after getting it out of the box put the root sd card in and then with another sd card have the cm7 rom to load once cwm is loaded? What caches (dalvik, etc) if Any need to be wiped? And lastly how to unlock/unrestrict the internal memory so I can use more than 1 gig. Thank you in advance...from what I've seen the rooting process is very similar to how I rooted my droid Eris back I'm the day

Just received my nook tablet yesterday and here was what I followed
Before receiving NT I got my sd card ready days before using these directions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22029125&postcount=131
Opened nook took it out of box, created account blah blah got to home screen just to make sure everything was ok with it (screen, etc).
Then I continued following the directions booted to cwm and flashed the update.zip from the post above. After that I booted up NT and updated the nt hidden settings app in the market (after flashing update.zip you get adw launcher, market, etc)
Made sure in nt hidden settings block ota updates as well as allow side installing was enabled.
Then installed CWM to the device:

Took my sd card OUT of the tablet and formatted from my COMPUTER (had to be re-partitioned using easeus partition magic, then formatted fat32)
Then from there you can either insert sd card and use tablet or install cm7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481826
Preparing the sd card before receiving tablet (takes a while to write image to it) this entire process from unboxing to booting cm7 took 15-20 minutes and was extremely easy
You said you formatted your COMPUTER? I have to format my computer in order to root? Or do I just need a computer that is using fat32? Or did u mean sOmething else entirely?
Edit: never mind....6am reading mode fail....you formatted your sd card with your computer. Thankfully I have 2 sd cards so should be easier
Edit2: you did indeed initially register and create an account with b&n...is it safe to do that? Doesn't the newer 1.4.2 update block rooting?
he said "formatted FROM my computer" - ie. do the format in your computer using card reader
Flashing my fascinate for the first time. Flashed cm7 7.1 stable build and my phone is having a hell of time running with the SD card. sometimes cm will recognize it but most of the time it starts to freak out after a few minutes of working and say BLANK SD CARD or SD CARD UNEXPECTEDLY REMOVED. It will also lock my phone and cause it to restart. Also if i boot up with SD card in it bootloops me. quick clear of all data and no SD card in i can reboot. with the SD card out it runs great and boots great. I have the stock 16gb sandisk SD Card that the fascinate comes with. Before you guys ask, I have already reflashed a bunch of times and i have reflashed back to stock and then tried all over again. still no cigar.
Please Help !!!
Probably best to get a class 6+ SD card. Have you tried formatting the card on your computer, then using it?
Yes, I saved all my files i needed then formatted fat32 same problems. should i have done NTFS? where can i come about one of these class 6 cards.
I've been using one of these in my Fascinate since last summer with excellent results:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OYLN9U/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
i will have to check into getting one. but there is no way or any kind of fix to make the stock fascinate sd card work with cm7 ?? seems to work fine with other roms that i tried today (AOKP build 29 ICS). id love to be using cm7 though without this problem.
It does seem strange that it'd work with AOKP but not CM7. I don't know, I had one SD card that wouldn't work with MTD roms and one that did. Although I've gotta say, I don't know why one would choose CM7 over AOKP?

I guess your right. this AOKP build 29 is way better. just am weary cas its only a "build" which is why i was thinking try and find a fix for cm7.
took a look over on the CM forum and it seems that the "stock" sd card has been a problem and no "fixes" yet. looks like ill have to try a different class sd card.
hi new to the forums so please be nice. i have a nook tablet 1.4.0 which was rooted before with the first cm7 release im guessing. well yeah i recently gone back to college and wanted to update my nook so i wanted to delete everything to restore it to stock, idk what program i used or what i did but it didnt work. i think by that time i was stuck on a boot loop where the n logo just goes on and off after that i saw a thread about a total wipe by using ubuntu i tried that and it worked perfectly i was back in stock. my stupidy lead me to want cm7 back since the apps in nook tablet stock wont let me read the books i have online. as soon as i tried to get cm7 i was stuck in a boot loop again i wanted to see if the ubuntu thing was gonna be the solution for my stupidity but this time it didnt work. it was stuck in "writing all zeros". i tried another boot loop solution by ray waldo it didnt work. i can still run cwm but it has some errors in the background saying "can't mount recovery/command/log/log/last_log/last_log. i want my tablet back just to get it to stock is the best solution i would want and i would just keep it that way. ty for your time.

First thing I'd try would be to make a bootable CM7 SD ROM. If you can boot into that SD ROM, you'll at least have an operating system for the time being, and you can still try to figure out/fix the problem that was created in the internal system.

You can still put files on your SD card. The let me try to explain:
The CM7 image that you wrote to your SD card created 4 partitions. By using a free software called MiniTool Partition Wizard on a PC, you can extend the 4th partition (the one for user data) of your SD card to consume the rest of your storage space. The software is really easy to use, you shouldn't have any trouble with it.
Again, I know this all isn't fixing your main issue yet, but at least you'll have a tablet again until it hopefully gets fixed up.

tysm for helping me solar. imma do it fresh from the start right now i have a clean 32 gb micro sd card. i downloaded the cm7 for the sd. i have minitool partition wizard installed. whats my next move. im sorry for the trouble im giving you.
No trouble for me, my friend. We're all here to help.
Okay, so I assume you're running Windows here:
1.) Write the CM7 SD .img to your microSD card using the Win32DiskImager tool found in the opening post of the CM7 ROM thread.
2.) After that's finished, open up the Partition Wizard software and find your SD card disk (make sure it's the right one!)
3.) Choose the option to resize the 4th partition of your SD card. Resize it so that all off the unallocated space becomes part of that last partition.
4.) After you're satisfied with that, click the option to apply those changes and wait for it to perform those actions.
5.) You should now be good to put the SD card into your NT and boot up into your new CM7 ROM!

Okay, you're good there. Go to Disk 2, and the 4th partition down. Click on it then click the Move/Resize button on the toolbar of the program. Then just drag the bar all the way across and you will see that you're changing the storage of the 4th partition.
Report back if you get stuck.

No, that 26.09GB is unused right now (unallocated space).
The fourth partition is simply the fourth one down, it has a capacity of 1.30GB. You want to resize that one.

I just rooted my daughters nook by using a method i found on youtube. Thing is i put a 16gb sdcard in it but after rooting it took up all the sd card space. So i followed what the video said to do. Which was to reformat the sd card from the settings on the nook. So i did that but now theres no cwm etc on the sd card anymore. I would like to be able to flash roms on this nook, but with no cwm on the sd card can i still flash roms on the nook. If not is there a method to fixing this. I seen someone else had the same problem. Is there a fix for this or am i ok to flash roms.
I think it's convenient to have my CWM installed internally. An easy way to do that is to burn a root card again (it has CWM on it but not a high enough version for newer ROMs), put a flashable CWM on the card and boot inte te card's CME, and from there flash the 6.x.x CWM.
I describe under C how I, as noob, installed the CM10 I'm still running and am very happy with.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081981
If you don't want to install CWM internally you can also use a smaller sd card than your 16 GB and make it a bootable CWM card.

If you're trying to build an SD card with CM10 on it without messing with the internal nook software you can go to this link and download the SDC version.
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/cm10-0-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet/
It will already have superuser root access with the ROM so you don't need to pre-root the tablet before plugging in the SD card. Preform a factory reset by holding down the "n" button at boot before doing so.
You can repartition the SD card afterwards for more space. DATA1 is used to store apps downloaded, SDCARD is used to store app data and all other SD files such as movies, music etc.

Whether the NT boots onto an SD depends entirely on the format and content of the SD 1st ("boot") partition, and has nothing to do with the NT being rooted or not.
Also, many NTs can boot off SD only from power-off state and upon insertion of a powered-USB cable.
