SD Card issues after autonooter

the SD card i wrote my autonooter to now only shows as being 32 MB when i go to reformat it. This is a 16 GB card. Any tips?
EDIT: DOwnloaded SD Formatter 2.0 and tried that instead of the standard winodws utility. Even though this too originally saw the card as 32 MB it reformatted it at 14.xx GB, which is what this particular "16 GB" card had always reported before.

There's another thread about this, but to sum up, the easiest way is to do it on your Nook. Settings>Device Info>SD Card>Dismount>Format

I have had issues like that before and properties format didn't work for me. Diskpart, clearing and creating a partition did. Then reformat. I have also had occasions where nothing I did would get Windows to see the card. Using in linux and completely zeroing out the card with dd fixed it. dd on a 16gb card would take a rather long time though. Zeroing is usually my last ditch effort before replacing the card.

Popping it in a rooted Android phone and using AR Recovery to format is another easy way.

Anyone get Froyo running on a 16GB card?

Has anyone here actually gotten any form of froyo to work on a 16gb card? I just sprung for a class 10 card and am bummed I can't get it working. I'm getting cylinder errors with the customized nookie Froyo image and can't seem to find the stock ASOP that was up a while ago to try that.

I had 0.5.9 running on a Kingston 16GB Class 10. I'm going to give 0.6.6 a try. I'm starting from scratch on it. I backed the card up with Win32DiskImager just in case.

Can you tell me what you did exactly? Did you run the makepart.sh and formatpart.sh commands?

I did not run those scripts, just used winimage - restore virtual hard disk image.
I don't see why the size of the sd card should matter at all.

I have it running fine on my card. Just used Win32DiskImager (latest version). After using EASEUS Partition software to resize the sdcard, the sd card shows up fine when viewed in the NC itself. However, I am waiting on the SD Card PC mount fix the dev mentioned in his thread.
Using this one: Patriot LX Series Class 10 16GB

I didn't .sh anything. I assume those are linux commands? I'm using Win 7 x64 and running Win32DiskImager to burn the images. I just burned the card, expanded the SDcard to take up unused space and popped it in my NC. It booted first go and I went to settings/sdcard and it reported free space as 10+GB. I assume that means it's reading the right partition as SDCard.

How did you expand the SD card to take up free space? Did you use EASUS partition manager or something?

NF 0.6.7 is now available for download. I re-wrote it to my SD card and expand the sd card partition just as I did in post #5.

6.7 is not working. It has the same force close problems with the resized partition.

I used Win32DiskImager (0.2) to write the card. I used EASEUS Partition Manager to resize the SDcard partition.

That's exactly what I'm doing.
But how's this for strange:
It WORKS with my OLD Ridata class six 16GB card (1 year old). The exact same brand class 6 16gb cards I bought last week force closes like crazy.
6.7 also confirmed working with a class 4 Patriot 16GB card. What the hell.
Now I have NO idea what's going on. I guess there is some kind of incompatibility with every single ridata 16GB class 6 sd card. Which makes no sense.

restoring sd card back to original size-HELP

I have spent over an hour reading threads and searching, cannot find what I need.
I have CM7 on eMMC.
How do I get my sd card back to 8gb?

-My Computer-Right click on SD card Drive- Format - Card is now 8 Gigabytes

Had this last night but try formatting the SD card within your nook. I had an SD card with 1 gig image and was having the same problem.

Just to clarify. Use the format options within the nook. Sorry not in front of Nook at the moment.

I read that on CM7 on eMMC when doing that it formats the boot on the nook not the sd card, so did you do this or just think its the way to do it. THanks

Use this program, the free edition:
EASEUS Partition Manager
Windows can only see the first partition on your card. There are probably 4 partitions left from your emmc install. Plug your microSD card into your computer and launch EASEUS. You should see the driver letter assigned to your microSD card and 3 other unassigned partitions on your card. Right click on each of those partitions and delete them. Then either resize the primary partition Windows can see to the full size of the card, or delete that partition, then create a primary partition on the card that uses the full card size. You should now have your full capacity back.

No, I actually did the format using CM7 on my Nook Color. Bit hazy on the exact details, but if you look at the SD storage section in the Settings you should see the different SD cards and will show which to format. I had used my 8 gig SD card as a 120 meg SD boot with CWM so this SD card kept showing available space of about 120 meg (so I chose this to format).
'Should' be fairly obvious but can understand your hesitation.
FYI, I tried Easues Partition on my Windows 7 64 bit machine but did not recognize. Might be worth trying XP or Linux if you have but I would test the above option (Backup everything if concerned). I had just flashed CM7 to my nook so wasn't too bothered if I lost anything.
I can check when I get home.

Windows only sees one primary partition, so you have to use a partition manager to delete the other primary partitions. MiniTool Partition Wizard claims to work in all versions of Windows, I only have 32 bit Vista. Or you could use Linux in a virtual machine such as Vmware, it's free for home use.

[Q] How to transfer all data in a hybrid TF card to a new card

Hi everybody:
Now I have installed hybrid CM10.1 on Nook HD in a 8G TF card. Then I would like to replace it with a new 32G card.
My question is how to transfer all the data, use the extra space and does not broke the system.
Thanks

Use win32diskimager to read the 8GB card to a file. The file will be 8GB. Then use win32diskimager to write that file to your new 32GB card. Then use partitioning software like Mini-Tool Partition Wizard to expand the last partition to the full size of the card.
The data on internal memory will remain and be unchanged. You should be able to boot the new SD just like it was the old one. The only difference will be your CM10SDCARD will be much larger.

If I use the win32diskimager utility to read my working 8GB MicroSD Class4 card it sees nothing because using read will only accept IMG files. There must be something that I am missing here, so please fill in the missing details.
I was going to post an image I created using Snagit of what I see when I attempt what you suggested, but the forum software won't let me.
I plan on trying a clone operation with GParted from the working 8GB SD card to the 32Gb SDHC card. I will post my results here

I had made an empty ".txt" file, then rename it to ".img". It may solve the problem.

Just type in a name. Like 8GB.img in the box. You do not have to actually create the file first, win32diskimager will create it. Then after it is done reading that write it back to your new card.

OK. Thanks. I am giving that a shot. I am going to try it on the Sandisk 16GB class 4 card first and then on the Samsung 32 GB class 6 unit. I will post my results here.
The results were negative with theSandisk 16 GB class 4 and Samsung 32GB class 6 HDSC cards. The 32 GB card went into a loop with the appearance of the CWM graphics and back to the initial Nook image. I let it cycle perhaps 10 times. I then tried the 16 GB card and had the same results.

Since that did not seem to work for you, another option is to make a nandroid backup with your old card to internal memory. You might also want to save your files that you have on CM10SDCARD. Then reburn the new card, let it set itself up, flash CM, the converter and gapps to it. Then before you reboot, restore the backup you made earlier. It should then be set up the same when you reboot. Then restore your CM10SDCARD files.

What do you mean it didn't work? Where did it fail? During backup, during new SD creation or restore?
Edit: If somewhere along the line of your trying to fix this, you installed a new image to a card and booted with it before you did a nandroid backup of your old card, you wiped out the internal /data for the old card and it is not retrievable. If you did that, you just have to start over.

I followed your advice exactly. It appeared to work the same way that it did with the working 8GB SDHC card. I still have a nandroid backup of the old card on my PC. It just doesn't work on the two higher capacity SD cards I have. I see that I am going to have to look through the list and find the exact model of a 32 GB card that someone got working. It works fine on the Sandisk 8GB Class 4 card. The two Samsung cards (class 6) of 16 & 32 GB capacity that I own don't work. They are OK for storage use, but trying to install Android on them was a waste of time. I tried so many times. I used your tutorials and others tutorials unsuccessfully. A bum SD card is a bum SD card. I am not exactly a newbie at installing ROMs on devices . I have been doing it on my HTC Desire HD for about a year ever since HTC abandoned us and decided to not give us ICS or Jellybean for our expensive devices. I have Venom DHD on my HTC Desire HD at the moment. I am waiting for my new Samsung Galaxy s4 to arrive this week.

[Q] Just need some clarification regarding cm10 (Nook HD+)

So I'm trying to follow everything from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38153094#post38153094 and I got lost at the part where I have to burn the image. When I burn it basically repartitioned my 8gig sd card down to 120mbs... What am I doing wrong? I don't know if I need to burn cwm first or if it's included there?

That is what it is supposed to do, be 120 MB. And that 120Mb includes the CWM so you can flash the CM ROM. When you boot it in the nook, it further partitions it so that CM can be installed on the SD. Don't worry, the rest of your 8GB will be available.

Ok, the problem I had was that I was confused regarding where to put the rest of the files, apperantly I'm and idiot and didn't realize I'm supposed to put them in the internal memory... Ok let's see how it goes, thanks!

jmstrat said:
Thanks but how am I supposed to copy the cm10 zip file and gapps/converter file if they wont fit onto it? Also do I just insert the sd card in and then it automatically reformats it and then I'm supposed to plug it back into my pc drag the cm10 files and then put it back into the nook again? Forgive my ignorance I really want to try this out though! I also forgot to mention that I haven't done anything with my nook, it's non rooted and then only thing I've done is sideloaded the playstore on there, that's it. My nook is completely stock.

I'm not sure you read my instructions. I said to put the CM zip, gapps zip and converter zip on the internal media SD built into the nook, not on the external SD inserted into your PC. So it does not matter if the SD is only 120 MB, you are copying nothing there. Just download the zips with stock to internal SD or hook your cable to the PC with stock booted and copy to internal SD.
EDIT: I just edited the OP to clarify all this.

Oh no I figured it out!!! I thought I deleted that comment I didnt want to embarrass myself.. I have another question, I'm using an 8gig card, but I want to get a 64gib card, what should I do when I get the new card, reburn and do the same steps? Thank you for replying to my question so quickly you're ****ing awesome! Wow I'm just messing around with cm10, it's like a new tablet, holy ****. Sketchbook pro appears to have less latency, finally I can draw! So what else is possible with cm10 now, what do you like about cm10 that wasn't possible before? Also what build prop is the tablet being seen as now?

If you want to move to a larger card, use win32diskimager to read the 8GB card to a file. The file will be 8GB. Then use win32diskimager to write that file to your new 64GB card. Then use partitioning software like Mini-Tool Partition Wizard to expand the last partition to the full size of the card.
The build prop is set as a B&N Nook HD.
