Do I need to restart the device or can i just take it out and place it back in the nook tablet? thanks!
You can do that while in CWM. You may need to re-mount from the mounts menu.

Help installing CM10

I'm having issues upgrading from CM9 to CM10...
I downloaded the zip file of the most recent CM10 experimental and when I try to install the zip in CWM recovery it says that no files were found. I can't seem to pull up any of my files on the internal sdcard.
I had no issues installing CM9 or any of the nightlies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there anything I can do to check into this? I have never had any problems access my internal sd other than this issue...
Maybe you switched the mountpoints in CM9? Can you access your external SD card (if you have one) from the recovery?

I don't have an external SD. I have no problem accessing my internal SD when the phone is on but just not when I'm in recovery.

Just do it the hard way. I can't think of anything else. Flash a Samsung stock ROM, then check whether the same problem exists there.

Jelly Beans SD card swap issue

I flashed Beans build 11 with pbj kernel. In that I picked the option to swap internal and external sd cards. Now I cant change wallpapers and some of my apps are telling me "sd card required for this application"
I would prefer to just fix this rather than re-flashing the rom again without the sd card swap.
I have been searching the forums for hours and can normally find a way to resolve any issue, but not this time.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Just wipe caches and flash. Takes a couple minutes.

Flash the rom again?

Yes flash the ROM with only wiping caches. You won't have to set everything up again and it should get rid of the swap

:good:back to normal.
Is it possible to swap your sd without these kind of issues?

I assume so because I've never seen them mentioned, but I don't use swap. Did you clean flash the ROM the first time?

Yeah clean flash coming from beans 10.

[Q] SD Card won't mount in recovery

Hey guys, I am rooted/unlocked running Jelly'Beans' Build 11 (going to build 12 tonight) and for some reason I can access my SD card while the phone is running normally, but when I boot to recovery it says I cannot mount the external SD to flash a file.
I get around this by just using the internal storage, but this is not ideal. Can anyone give me an explanation of why this might be happening, or maybe tell me how to fix it? Thanks!
either a bad sd card or you need to format the card to fat32.

If it were bad or formatted improperly, would I still be able to access and use it under normal phone conditions? I use it to save my pictures to, and I can access it from the phones file browser as well as when it is plugged into a pc.

What size card is it and how is it formated

cwm recovery does not recognize exfat. you will have move your files to a pc then format the card to fat32 if you want cwm to recognize it.

I tried switching to TWRP, but under the supported devices in CWM it only lists the Note 2 HSPA. and I am obviously on VZW. Is this ok?

Just download goo manager. Open the app, hit the menu key and select install recovery. It will download the right one

This method worked for me. I am on a Galaxy S4 SGH m919. I stumbled upon this posting by doing a search. I was having a problem where my SD card is working but it wouldn't mount in recovery, so I couldn't restore back ups, of flash anything. I only had this problem after I had flashed Google Edition 4.3. I still don't know exactly what caused it, but this recovery TWRP did the trick. Thank you so much for helping me out!!

Insert SD card to use camera

Hello,
Everytime I want to use my camera it tells me my phone doesn't have an SD card inserted (which I do, and it's fully functional)
This problem originally occurred after flashing UltimaROM when my internal was swapped with my external.
The ROM used to be great but it was ridiculously buggy and was almost at an unusable state for me.
I've flashed LiquidSmooth now and everything is great, apart from this issue.
I've looked on Google and people with similar issues are saying it's corrupt but it still functions fine.
Also, when uninstalling apps I get this message (it still uninstalls though)
I have attached a picture using Tapatalk so not sure on how the picture will be displayed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

In regards to the 2nd part, see here:

As for SD, I would recommend formatting the card (backup first) and do a full wipe (megawipe?) to clear down completely before reflashing your rom.
I don't have the framework installer setting in my "Interface" tab. Also, even with the external sd card dismounted the camera doesn't work. Or could this be an internal memory problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
It sounds like a permissions issue and a full wipe and format before reflash I suspect will fix it.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
I have tried that, it didn't work
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Full wipe didn't work? Try another rom. If not, look for the camera update thread if not, return 100% stock if not, send for repair
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
I don't know why but I think the emulated folder is the problem, I think this was created when my internal and external was swapped around as I don't remember it being there before.
I've tried another camera app and it takes pictures but doesn't save them
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Emulated comes from when you go to 4.2.2
Megawipe should have deleted everything on your internal sd.....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Oops, I guess I haven't megawiped then. Got the correct zip now off these forums that does it for me. Can I go ahead and do the Megawipe despite being rooted on a custom ROM?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yes you can. It just wipes per the thread. One of them formats your internal sd and thats what you want. Backup to pc first though.

Its also worth doing the one that formats system too. So have a rom and titanium backup on external sd card. You're going to have to reflash if you do this one
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Stupid question, was just making sure. Guess it's the same as wiping everything before flashing a new ROM
Everything now works great, thank you so much! Also nice to have a fresh start on my internal memory.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
It is the same except via custom recovery it doesn't wipe internal sd...
Did you use the factory reset zip or did you use another too?
