Hello all,
I am new here to the forums. I recently (yesterday) purchased a Nook Tablet. I installed CM10 as per this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217
Things went flawlessly. Well... Almost.
After flashing the ROM, I attempted to connect the Nook to my PC to transfer some music. However, My PC didn't recognize the nook at all. The Nook went in to charge only mode. I am unable to communicate with my PC in any way.
Additionally, I seem to only have 2GB of space to work with from my generic internal storage (I got the 8GB version). In the storage menu it sees that in addition to the 4gb of internal data (with 2gb available) I have an internal SD card with 4 GB of data. However, when I try to move apps to the SD card, or even access the sd card with apps such as Androzip or ES File Explorer, it says there is no space on the SD card or that it is empty. Additionally, other apps that I have installed tell me that the SD card is not mounted. When in fact it is according to the storage menu in the settings.
I am unsure if I am the only one experiencing this issue. I tried to post in the thread linked above, but being that I am new to XDA, I was not allowed to. Also, I did indeed search for the past hour and a half for a solution, but without luck (obviously). Thanks in advance for any help. Also, being new I do apologize if I have placed this query in the wrong place.
****UPDATE*****
I was finally able to fix the issue with the connection to the PC!!
I can also access the sd card from my explorer on the PC, and through the Tablet. However, the Tablet reads the internal sdcard as sdcard0. But it doesn't recognize this as an sd card, but as a folder. There is still an "sdcard" in the parent directory, but it will not let me access it as it says it is missing or not mounted. It is like it is reading the internal sd card, but not as an internal sdcard.
Welcome to the forum. I have moved this thread to Q&A. Where there is a Q&A section (as this device has) please post any questions there.
When you reach 10 posts you will get access to post in the development section and this post has some useful reading for reaching 10 posts productively.
Thanks

I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.
Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.
Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.
Any help appreciated.
Hi there,
Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.
For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.
Bye,
Itamar

Hi, thx for the reply. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go ahead.
I feel like I'm missing something, and I'm hoping that someone went through this and can make me feel less inept.
Just got my new GTablet. I bust it open, run the update from viewsonic, reboot. Then, I go to install clockworkmod and I can't get my PC to recognize the SD card. When I look at the browser on the tablet, unplugged from USB, I see the "SDCARD" directory, but it is there whether I have the card in or not. I plug it up to the PC with the card in it and the only thing that shows is the 13GB storage on the tablet. Unlike my Android Phone, which shows the phone memory and the SD memory as two separate removable disks, I'm only seeing 1.
I've formatted the SD card on the tablet, which does see that there is a card, but aside from that, I can't get to it... ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
On the PC: the internal memory is seen as SD1, the external SD slot is seen as SD2
After you formatted your Micro SDHD card on your G tAb, did you mount it ?
I've mounted, unmounted while the tablet was plugged up and not plugged up. I threw it in my HTC Incredible to see if there was a problem with the card, but I can browse to it fine through my phone. I formatted it on the PC (FAT32) and tried again. I see The SDCARD and SDCARD2 on the tablet, but it never shows up on the PC. The only thing I see is "Removabled Disk" with 12.7 of 13GB free.
So, I've now tried a new card, with still no go. I mean, I added clockworkmod to the SD card via windows, tried to boot to it through recovery, but it goes to the unpacking splash screen and reboots after 10 seconds. I can go into the file explorer and see the update.zip that I added to the SD card at /sdcard2/... Any help would be appreciated. Help =(

This is normal behavior for the G Tablet. Only the internal memory will mount on your PC.
Thanks for that. I figured it out after reading through a lot of the guides that directed me to install from the internal "SDCARD."
Since reading your post, I've got everything up and running with Cyanogenmod installed and running... Thanks to everyone that threw your two cents.
Simple way to get started:
Read my STICKY in the General Forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010943
It will get you started. Also, on USB stuff:

In fact, it's a good idea to read all the stickie in all the forums.
They'll tell you a big percentage of what you need to know.

Hi. I just rooted my xperia sola and trying to use the app link2sd to move my apps to my sd card.
I have an 32gb sd card, the app says I need to have a second partition for being able to move my apps.
So I'm trying to use the MiniTool Partition Wizard to do this, and my sd card won't show up at all! I can get into it through My Computer->XPERIA Sola->SD Card but the MiniTool won't see the sd card at all. I tried refreshing it many times, i even tried to look it up on diskmgmt.msc but still, it acts like the card is not even there!
As you can see in the screenshot, I can see the SD Card in My Computer (in the right), but it doesn't show up anywhere else. I can see just my two harddrives.

Hi everywone.
I watch more tutorials how and not help me.
I have problem one on my device.
Problem is memory in internal storage (1gb)
In settings->storage i have:
"Internal storage" , "Sd card storage" and "Phone storage"
3x storage, one is my "sd card extern"
All my apps/data/cache going to Internal Storage.
Phone storage always is empty and cant move on phone storage.
On sd card i can move all apps because i have rooted device.
Ok problem is not move apps, problem is so many apps using more "cache" and "data" and saving only in "Internal storage2 /data"
I want cache and data move to sd card or bind auto going to sd card folder like "data" "cache" and other..
No on internal storage. Because i need more spaces.
Internal storage its 1gb.
SD card: 16gb
Phone storage: 1gb
Idk why phone storage its not combine with internal storage like "ONE" and have 2gb.
Can u help me guys ?
I watch one tutorial say like: download: ES FILE explorer in root main find: system/etc/vold.fstab
If open vold.fstab replace line: sdcard0 to sdcard 1 and down sdcard1 to sdcard0.

Don't feel so bad about not receiving any replies on this forum. I have been flashing ROMs through this forum since Windows Mobile 2003 and in that time, xda-developers has become so big and unwieldy that it is VERY difficult to find a forum where people who know the answers can even see your question.
I have been asking essentially the same question as you for over four months and in that time no one has seen the question OR some newbie organiser has moved it to an obviously wrong forum solely to annoy the forum members there! It isn't clear who is running this forum any more but unlike the old days, no one seems technical any more unless they ACTUALLY POST to specific forums.
Do we have the same phone? I have an alps/MT6571 (possibly made by a company in China called HDC) with 16 gig of storage, nothing whatsoever in it and mysteriously no space left (with a few hundred meg showing available most of the time). Something in the extraordinarily badly written ROM (Hexing71_et_lca) is stopping the OS from addressing the storage space.
I even tried prising the back off the phone carefully and inserting a 32 gig sd card in it and designating that as the phone's storage but now the device reports the SD card as storage, there being 32 gig of storage, still nothing whatsoever in it and still mysteriously no space left, still with a few hundred meg showing available most of the time. Something in the extraordinarily badly written Hexing71_et_lca ROM is stopping the OS from addressing ANY storage space!!
Seems like the same phone? No one here knows the answer and no one will accept your challenge. A few users have reported this problem with this phone and this ROM on www.china-devices.com and no one there knows the answer either. There have also been postings on needrom but all trails there have gone dead as well. It seems everyone tries to back up their ROM to SD card, then they try to figure out what is wrong and then so much is wrong with it that everyone gives up.
Hi, So I have my J5 phone which is in Marshmallow. I have already rooted it. The only problem with this device is that the internal memory is just 8GB and I have debolated the phone memory. But I use many different apps and still the space is not optimal. Some apps are downloaded to the Internal Memory by default and cant be moved. Others try to get back to the internal memory or do so when updating them. I use a Samsung 32GB micro sd card ultimate 70 MBPS. And I want to either have all the downloaded apps to go to the sd card (Found some app where linking to SD card was possible but it asked to create and new partition and I did create a new one but I could figure how to use it) or have the SD card integrated with the internal memory, which I heard is available in Kitkat and above. For the second I used the app root essentials which said it could do so. So I did use it I don't know what is did after that but the SD card when inserted was asked if to be used as internal memory. I did so. But the problem was that in the memory section of the settings when I look at the space the internal and external memory did combine, but the apps still went to the internal memory and the frequent irritating msg that says memory is low or whatever keeps on coming up. I would really appreciate is some one could help me with this. Else I will manually move the apps to SD card for the rest of this device's life.
Thanks for reading, (pardon me if there is any problem with the way I have written the query I am not a native speaker)
Have a great day.

I don't have this device but, I believe that one or more of the following threads may be helpful for what you are looking to do and don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them.
