http://theunlockr.com/2009/06/21/how-to-save-apps-to-your-sd-card-on-the-g1/
after going through the process of rooting and loading a new rom from the above link , my last step to was to save the apps to my sd card, followed steps and set the part to 297.3 and then my phone stays on the G1 bootup screen does not want to boot up, has this step claimed another phone? a little annoyed at the moment
Could we get a developer's take on this issue?
ok followed steps to reload JF update on phone and its back to its normal state. I wont be follwoing the above links anymore...
Can someone point me to a better apps to sd link?
Hey all. My SD card holder is physically busted. I cannot access it at all. I was running rooted 1.1. I need to send the nook off for repair and would like to restore it to factory before I send it off. Can that easily be done? I tried the power on and off 5(6) times but it didn't do anything. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Joe

Keep doing boot interrupts... when you get to 8 it should present you with a screen that it is installing software....
But, you didn't say if you installed cwr on emmc or not... that may present with other issues/options... if you did... or if the 8 failed boots don't work... can use adb to get the stuff you need where you need it.
Cwr is on the emmc.

Yes Please I'm thinking I've got the same problem.
Just received a Motorola Droid never been rooted. I've done the RSD lite thing,
rooted using z4root
and am unable to mount my internal sd card, there is no ext_sd even with my external sd card in. It only will mount the external, I cant get access to root to transfer any roms to it.
and cwr does not let me in only the standard e3 recovery. any helps?
Yes, please do explain how you fixed this problem. I've got a rom that I can't get the sd card to work
Hey guys with the release of the Nook Tablet and the price reduction of our brethren color, where is our 1.4 rom update? I assume the NT is already running it as well as any new NC. Should we be concerned the 1.4 update may lock up our bootloaders like the NT is?
Its not out for the NC yet. Reports said December.
Your signature indicated you're running CM7.1, why care about the 1.4, which is probably Gingerbread 2.3.5?
I am but I've considered dual-booting stock firmware alongside, especially with the newly added features of 1.4 . Aside from that I just like to play with roms, I didnt have 1.3 on my device for more than 72hours before I stuck cm7.1 on it.
Don't jump on v1.4 too fast...
It could have locked down the device to where dual boot & CM7 are not usable...

If it does lock it down, can it still be unlocked to original status?

If you still have the stock ROM installed I would assume you could still do a factory reset and then avoid any OTA updates.

That isn't likely. The board attempts to boot the first partition of sd or emmc (if its vfat). It loads MLO then u-boot.bin. They "could" lock down either with an update, but you could simply boot sdcard and replace the ones in /boot with non-locked versions. You don't have much to worry about with this device.

What if they updated the bootloader to stop it from looking for the SD card first. The nook tablet doesntsearch for SD card first does it?

The Tablet does check the SD card first, however it's checking for a signed boot image there just like on the internal memory. The only signed image you could possibly run at this time is one copied from the internal memory, but the mount points in that image point right back to the partitions on the internal memory so it wouldn't look like you've done anything differently.
From what I gather, SD boot is in important part of B&N's service setup for these devices as it allows an in-store employee without tons of Android tech support training to stick in a special SD card and boot straight into reformatting tools, etc no matter how badly someone messed up their software.
Can you even flash a bootloader on these devices? My only experience with devices where you could flash something lower level than recovery is my HTC phone and it's hboot but that device is setup very differently than these tablets
Minding my own business one day when a Google services app on the phone stopped working and kept popping up, so I rebooted to help fix it. The phone now hangs at the HTC boot screen after the boost logo had already come up. Completely stock, never unlocked or rooted, and I have no idea what went wrong. Unfortunately, I can't do a factory reset from HBOOT because there's important documents on the phone's internal storage. What can I do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

There's not much you can do. You're gonna have to factory reset because even if you unlock the boot loader at this point the phone is going to reset anyway.. You should always keep stuff that's important on the sd card not internal.
There may be a way using adb and a computer using adb pull but I think that's just for the sd card I don't know if you can navigate to internal using a pc because I don't have that type of issue.
Try hooking it up to the pc and see if you can get into the internal storage.

Try to boot into safe mode. As soon as you see the first HTC screen on boot up, hold the Down volume button and keep holding it until the phone boots or at least for about 15 seconds to see if it will work.

ADB won't work because I never enabled USB debugging, unless ADB pull doesn't require that. Computer doesn't see anything when it hangs. Safe mode was a no-go either :/ I don't have an SD card to put stuff on right now, although I really should've. Just didn't expect something like this to ever happen so suddenly. Thank you guys

The last thing I can think of is take it back to the place you bought it from, if that is possible. Especially if you didn't mod the phone. I've never heard of this problem.
I'm trying something really creative that I remember doing on an old One V. Starting the latest RUU, pulling the ROM from the temp files, placing it on an SD card, applying it in the stock recovery. It's a long shot, but its a shot. The only problem is knowing what to name the zip, update.zip doesn't seem to work.

Did you happen to do anything to the phone before this started? Did you delete any files or programs? Did the phone do an over the air update? Anything you can remember?

Nothing of the sort, just browsing social media. News on what I tried: renamed the pulled ROM zip 0PCVIMG.zip and booted HBOOT. HBOOT accepted it as an update and I "updated" it, however, it wiped the phone. It's alive and well, but it's wiped. However, I'm left with something really off. The storage settings show 3.15GB of "other" on the internal storage, which I'm thinking might be my old data. My Files doesn't show anything as well as when hooked up to my PC. I'm going to be forever scratching my head on this as well.

That's basically the carriers crap/programs on there... Mine says that too but a bit less since I've gotten rid of a lot of bloatware.
May I ask how you managed to get the phone to accept that as an update?

I went through the official HTC RUU's temp files to find a zip called "rom.zip". I copied that to a clean SD card, renamed it to 0PCVIMG.zip (in HBOOT, it would check to see if those files were on the SD card before coming to the main screen), then the phone unzipped it and asked if I wanted to update. Thinking it would act as a normal update, I hit " yes". It took about 10 min to finish flashing in HBOOT (not recovery). It rebooted to a clean slate 510.

Yeah I went out and bought one in hopes I could move everything to it. I've been using OTG drives for a while on everything else I have and thought SD cards were a pain, boy was I wrong.

The SD card for this phone is rather pretty important if you ask me because with the very limited amount of space we have on it is a major problem when it comes to installing a lot of the programs/apps we use... I think the SD card is a lifeline since it keeps the backups and personal stuff on it and if anything goes wrong that little card saves you lol...

I just factory reset my phone and I only have 2.75GB in Other. I wonder what that stuff is on your phone. What is 0PCVIMG.zip? Where did you get it from?

I ran the RUU for my phone and found its temp files by opening the process' file location. Scroll through the files and find rom.zip that the RUU creates. Wait for it to copy and then close the RUU. Renamed the rom.zip to 0PCVIMG.zip because of the model of the phone, and HBOOT looking for the image. As for the space, I have no idea either. I'm going to get it swapped out at best buy if I can.

I'm fairly certain that the 2.75GB of used space is your carriers bloatware crap.. It's even on it's own partition and you can gather that information from running adb shell and then cat proc/emmc
