Like the topic says I need to root my phone without internal or external SD card access.
I would like to do this so I can try to backup my nv_user and related files before I try another partition since I have had no luck finding a solution to being able to mount my external or internal sd cards.
I have the "Mount Point absent or incorrect." error dialog showing up in my status bar.
I tried searching for solutions to both problems but Have been unlucky so far.
For sgs u definitely have a internal sd.
you definitely have an internal sd-card. however if you want to do it without or have problems with it you can flash a kernel+su with odin: thread on samdroid
cheers, jo

Phone says neither them are mounted. Same as in the recovery mode. When I check the sd card and memory in the settings menu both are unavailable. It says I am running off 2 gigs of system memory.
So yes I have an internal sd card. It just won't mount and in recovery mode it won't be found.
That's why I said it wouldn't mount. Not that it didn't exist.
I trying not to flash the phone until I can make a back up of thee nvdata files. So I will check the kernel flash and hopefully it won't effect the nvdata. But I'm guessing it does.
I should have stated a different Title for this thread as my real problem is either Int/Ext SD card corruption or something else deeper within the phone.
I will try formatting it with ubuntu like someone else suggested. That will have to wait until I get home and take a bit since I have no linux experience.
Also, the memory *2gb is showing is labelled as Internal Phone Storage.
Thanks
I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that your phone wont flash anyfirmware after JPC right?
Let me know how it goes.
I can flash but it took some messing around. None of the other firmwares even the stock bell one are stable now and I have no access to either the int or ext sd card. Just the 2gb internal non-sd memory. And after JPC my signal is pretty messed up.
My (wifes) phone now also says internal sd card unavailable.
Is there a solution to this? Happened after I upgraded from JH2 to JM6. The same upgraded process worked on my phone (followed the guide exactly).
Guys, just have a look around these forums or use the search button. This is the most common issue with the I9000M and there is no need for another thread about it.
I bought a NC on Friday and rooted it an tried to install Clockwork and the result was the black screen no boot. I have managed to reflash it to stock but now the system says the internal sd has an error and it won't let me format it. Funny thing is I managed to use diskpart on windows to repartition that partition while its pluggen in to usb and then the pc can read write but the nook still says the sd is bad.
Any thoughts on what I need to do to get nook to recognize the partition. Is there something else I need to do besides Fat32?
I'm having a similar problem with a Sandisk 16GB card. I can successfully burn Froyo to it, but after I load Froyo from SD, Froyo says that the card is damaged and needs to be reformatted. I tried using TE to makpart of the unused space and it doesn't accept the command. (says "makepart.sh" doesn't exist)
I have a 16 GB class 4 Sandisk card.
I ran the following command and successfully wrote the img to my SD Card
[email protected]:~$ umount /dev/sdg
[email protected]:~$ sudo dd if=nookhoney04.img of=/dev/sdg bs=1M

The SD Card now has a system, boot, data, and sdcard partiton. So I assume it was finished. I also received a confirmation message stating that it successfully wrote 3.7 GB to the card.
All appears well, but when resetting the nook, it almost immediately boots into stock instead of the sd card.
Am I missing something, or is this a card issue?
it might be the card, class 4 is really slow for honeycomb
Would "really slow" cause it to entirely skip the boot.
People claim to have got it working with a class 2, even if it is slow, it should still boot...
I appologize for bumping this, but I would really like a more definitive answer than "slow".

If they're in that order then somethings wrong. It should be Boot,System,Data,sdcard. Also a slow card shouldn't cause the boot sequence to be skipped but there could just be a compatability issue with your card
I suggest trying again to see if it works (btw I never use the BS=1M but that shouldn't cause any problems)
They're in the orter of boot, system, data, sdcard.
I used the bs=1M when I wrote autonooter, I guess I'll try it without that parameter since that's the only thing I can change.
It's kind of odd that the SD card would not boot... I've booted onto this SD card before when testing Froyo and doing some Clockwork recovery.
There are no buttons I have to hold to force a boot?
I am powering it on via plugging it into my computer, though I have tried a hard power on.
This maybe a card issue. So far all 16Gb cards I installed Froyo/Honeycomb booted successfully as long as you do not repartition the card with default head/sec/cyl (must be 255/63/the rest).
However at this moment neither Froyo nor Honeycomb work on any 16Gb card I tried. It installs fine, and boots ok, but after the first reboot the data partition gets corrupted almost immediately, and remounts read-only. If you eject the card, connect it to a Linux machine and run fsck.ext3 on /dev/sd?3 it will fix it, but it will be broken again during next reboot. Same images/files work fine on the same Nook on a 8Gb card.
No need to unmount the card. And normally your sd card is mmcblk0 or mmcblk1? Format your card, insert it into your computers sd card reader and in a terminal type "sudo fdisk -l" look for the device that is the same size as your card. Also, did you use your nook as the card reader for the computer? Most of the time, using the nook as your card reader when writing images doesnt work, you have to use the computers reader directly.
edit: Possible compatibility issues. 16gb's seem to have problems with corrupted partitions when writing sd images.
Hmm, that's interesting, is there any way to change the cyl-dead-sector data on linux?
If not, I guess I'll buy an 8GB class 6+ soon.

Would that card suffice?
Yes, that card seems to get really nice reviews as far as running HC goes. That or a Sandisk.
Well that card is under $20 dollars, so it works perfectly for me. Thank you for your feedback
I bought A-Data 8Gb class 10 microSD in Fry's, and it seem to work very well. $13.
Not sure how long it gonna last, but if it lasts a year, good enough for me.
The issue I mentioned, however, is not due to the card quality. 'badblocks' utility consistently showed all those cards having NO bad blocks, and I tested at least three different 16GB cards - Wintec, Patriot and A-Data.

Well, the card came in.... and no luck, same thing... I'm going to try it on Windows instead of Linux, see if that changes anything...
After I "upgraded" to 1.1.0 it jacked up my ability to boot from external SD card. Lots of random process failures and can no longer read my class 10 card at all. Going to revert to 1.0.1 I think... or else flash a CFW on instead. Seems like they added something nasty to the update.
Just to give some newcomers my experiences with the following two cards:
Lexar Class 10 32GB:
Stuck forever at the black screen with the message "android_" at the lower left. Tried both v3 and v4 of the honeycomb SD image. Neither worked.
Transcend Class 6 16GB:
Tried v4. Same pronlem as the Lexar. Stuck forever at the "android_" screen. Switched to v3. Bingo, it booted!
I should be receiving a Patriots 16GB tomorrow and will put it to test.

Hmmm... that seems interesting... can anyone else confirm this?
I have two SD cards. One gives me the infamous encrypted file system error and the other just sits there looping on the android splash screen. Before updating, both ran honeycomb fine (CL4 and CL10).
I seen to be the only guy left with this problem. I have burned Nookie FROYO to an 8gb card. Using Mini tool partition wizard i then extend the last partition to cover the unused space. Then the Nook boots fine but gives me the 'damaged sd card' error. I tried the Vold method people used on older NF builds, but that seems just to ruin the image. If i don't resize the partition, everything runs fine and i can use the very limited free space on he card as normal. I wanted to try Easeus instead of minitool, thinking it might be something in the software, but i can't get Easeus to see the card at all after it is burned.
Can anyone help?
any advice on where to go here? I also asked at android central, and not getting any hits there either?
Thanks,
Brian
I've also tried deleting the sdcard partition and recreating it the right size. Since resizing didn't work, I thought this might. But it didn't. Still getting the 'Damaged SD card' error.
How is it that I'm the only one out there having this issue? Very frustrating.

had same problem through the sd card in my fascinate and tried to format didn't work then plugged in my phone to my usb cable then unplugged went back and it auto formated for me so now i have my nook sd card all good just a little help
Well, I tried that as well. I plug the NC in, and it shows up as two different USB devices. E and F on my Win 7 machine. After quite some time waiting, I can actually open drive F in windows. Unfortunately, when I unplug my NC and try and remount the SD card, it doesn't do anything different. Still gives me the damaged SD card error.....
What else can I do here?

I'm having a weird problem with a Nexus One. It had a 2GB microSD card in it that seemed to go corrupt (all the file names went crazy) so I reformatted it and it happened again within minutes. So today I bought a new 8GB microSD card and and the Nexus now gives the error of "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." It is unable to format the card, but it doesn't give an error. I tried formatting the card to FAT32 on my computer, still the phone thinks it is blank/unsupported.
I'm hoping the SD slot isn't fried... any thoughts?
You could try reformating the SD card in a computer using SDformater with erase on.
I have the same problem for a few weeks now. My phone can't seem to read the sd card at all. Thought it was the sd card so I bought a new one, but problem remains. I know both cards work (have tested them in another phone and the computer reads them). I've tried formatting the card in the phone and reformatting with erase on using SDFormatter in my computer but my phone refuses to read it. Think it might be my sd slot as well...
Currently running CM 7.1.0. Haven't tried a factory reset or flashing another ROM (how would one go about doing that with no sd card?) as I'm not too keen to lose that data if I can help it.
Did you manage to fix it?
I was not able to fix it and after many hours of troubleshooting, so I gave up. Good luck to you, and please reply if you find a solution.
