I tried AN 2 with 1.0.1 and got nothing.
(wouldnt boot at all when I plugged into USB, just stayed off)
I tried AN 3 with 1.1 and this also failed. It did boot on its own when I connected it to PC with USB, but simply went to standard B&N interface, no Android.
I noticed elsewhere someone mentioned having problems with Patriot cards - I have a 4gb class 4 that detects OK (pc & nook) and appears to write fine, but no dice. As a last resort, I did the 8x interrupt boot to reset the Nook and carefully followed the AN instructions, wiping the card yet again. Let it sit...and B&N interface boots.
Ideas?
Edit: I didn't mention it, but I am using an external, stand-alone USB SD card reader, so that shouldnt be an issue

Have been trying to connect my Hero to my pc so I can fill up my SDcard with music, but every time I connect it to any pc, the phone just charges. I have the stock 1.5 ROM and still the phone just won't mount SDcard nor would it even pop up the option to mount on the taskbar. I have tried to install ADB drivers and nothing. Phone has been reset to factory defaults and still nothing happens when plugged in to usb, just charges the phone and no messages at all! What Can I do? Thnx in advance.
Have you tried mounting on a different computer? to see if it's either the computer or your phone
Yes I have tried on 6 computers. 4 windows and 2 linux, but same thing happens phone just charges.

1. Try different USB cord. Some are made so generic that they only supply power.
2. Check your connectors in the phone. Less likely, but maybe a hunk of pocket lint got in there?
Try downloading USB Switcher from the market, i had the same problem with my phone before and that seemed to fix it.
I have tried with two usb cords, one being the one that came with my ps3 and the other I just happen to come across with
I will try that right now
I just installed USB Switcher and same thing is happening, phone starts charging.

you have to add the widget to one of your screens then tap the widget icon while it's plugged in. then the icon will turn purple and, hopefully, you will be able to see the drive under my computer.
Widget is on one of my screens, but when I tap it it does nothing just stays gray.
maybe reformat your sd card?
You are absolutely sure the SD card is actually inserted into the slot on the phone?
or maybe even try to insert the sd card to your computer some other way..
If none of those options work, you can try loading up RA (hold HOME while powering on) and mount the SD in recovery > USB-MS Toggle.
Assuming you're rooted and loaded the custom recovery.
No no no.. download htc sync from htc. It should fix your problem.
HERE
All cell phones need drivers on the computer to mount your card. The htc ones come in htc sync.
Some phones, like this one, had the htc sync on the stock memory card... Mine didnt though
And windows can usually find the drivers online by itself. Mine did.
You dont have to sync anything or even set it up.
And of course open up your taskbar drop down list, select charge and change it to "disk drive" mount sd card
installing pdanet also installs the correct drivers
And he gets off when someone with good answer helps. lol
I have installed HTC sync on my computer with no luck. Also I have toggle the ms mode in recovery and still nothing, phone just charges. Im planing on formatting my sd card and starting again but can't find my micro SD adapter lol. Once I find it I will post any updates hopefully that will fix it.

Sounds like a corrupted microsd card. You should download the Android dev kit and use ADB and see if theres communication between your phone and the Pc. If not you should look into solving bigger problems than your microsd card.
If there is communication between your phone and computer and you have Adb working, try reformatting that microsd card or replacing it.
I have formatted my sd car with no luck. Still my phone just charges when plugged to the computer. I am pretty sure I have a defective hero, as I have never seen the option to mount the sd on the taskbar. I do have insurance on the phone, but do you guys think the techs at sprint might not want to work on it since it is rooted and has a custom ROM? lol
Hello everyone, I have been using this forum for a while now, but havent really posted anything much as I have always found answers to any questions through searching the threads, however, I am unable to find a solution to a problem I have just recently encountered and was hoping someone out there may be able to shed some light on it.
I am using an unbranded handset running JPO which has been performing superbly until today, however, when I connect the phone via USB to my PC and select mass storage the computer does not seem to recognise the phone is plugged in. The strange thing is it worked perfectly before and the only changes I have made since was upgrading the micro SD card to a 16 gig one. I try unmounting the external card and even removing it completely to no avail. I have tried the phone on 3 PCs now, even my Linux PC does not recognise it.
I have rebooted the phone, tried connecting selecting Kies mode instead of mass storage, all to no avail. As soon as I connect the USB to the computer, the phone recognises the connection and asks what I want to do, I select mass storage, then I get the option to mount via the little green android, which turns orange stating it is connected, but the phone just does not show on the pc.
Any ideas would be most welcome, I don’t really want to have to format the internal memory but I think I may have to.
Many thanks in advance.
Additional:
I seem to remember on Eclair that I was able to unmount the internal sd card in the settings menu, however, with froyo, I only have the option to unmount the extrernal sd card. Would someone running JMO be good enough to check and see if they have the otion to unmount the internal sd?
Right, I seemed to have found the problem, so for anyone else who has a similar experience, it was the USB lead. SGS working as it should agian, phew..
I haven't rooted my nook yet, but I have run into a peculiar issue. I plugged it into my computer tonight after work, and instead of seeing it as a nook, I am getting 2 removable drives. When I click on either of the two removable drives, I am asked to insert a disk into the removable drive.
When I open the Adobe Digital Editions software (to put Google Books on my nook), it no longer sees the nook, either.
Any thoughts on why this would happen?
Win7 Pro x64
I have now done a factory reset, data clear, and still unable to see the nook properly. All I get is two removable disks, with no devices inserted, when I plug the nook into either of my computers.
Try inserting an SD card into your NC and see if one of the removable drives stops asking for a drive to be inserted.
I'm assuming the two drives are the internal NC storage and the SD card slot. That's how it shows up on my rooted one. Can't recall what it looked like before root. Next time I reset mine, I'll take a look and check in here.
By chance, do you have an Android Phone device in your Device Mangler?
no, I did not see it.
I was able to resolve the issue, though. I ran through AutoNooter, then did a full reset (after playing around with the rooted version, of course ). After that, it worked just fine. I think it had something to do with the way the VMWare player saw it the first time I had it connected. If I have VMWare running, when I plug the nook in, it shows up as a VMWare Virtual USB device, even though it's not connected to the guest.
Not a big deal, I was able to transfer files/movies/etc. to it earlier today, and that was what I was looking to do.
I seem to be having an issue that I can't find a solution for. I have followed the directions in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942424) to the letter, but when I get to the point where I have to turn off the Nook, put the uSD card with the AN image on it into the Nook, and then plug the Nook into my computer, my Nook simply boots up normally, and is in USB connected mode when it starts up. It never boots into Android. It just boots into stock unrooted Nook UI.
However, it does do something strange. Whenever I try to boot from the AutoNooter uSD card, when I unlock the screen for the first time, it is in USB mode (with the screen saying "You may now safely transfer files to your NookColor..."), and it keeps dropping the connection sporadically. The "You may now safely transfer..." screen goes away for a split second, and then it comes back almost right away, making the noise it makes when you connect your Nook to a computer via USB. This only happens when I boot using the AutoNooter imaged uSD card by plugging in the USB cable.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Sounds like your Nook doesn't recognize your uSD card as bootable. If you have another uSD card handy, write the AutoNooter image to that one.
Otherwise, try unmounting and formatting the uSD on the Nook itself. Then make sure your Nook can access it using the built-in file browser in the Library app. If that's all good, power down your Nook and pop out the uSD card and re-write the AutoNooter image to the uSD. Hopefully, your Nook will boot off it this time.

I've tried another older 1gb uSD card I had lying around, and that one didn't work either. I bought another 8gb class 4 card that I will try.
I did format the 16gb card I was using from the Nook, and put some pictures and mp3s on it to test to make sure it was not a bad card. The Nook was able to see those, but like you said, it doesn't seem like it recognizes the uSD with the AutoNooter image as bootable.

That is weird. Have you tried any other bootable images? If not, try the Monster RootPack. That should boot you into Clockwork Recovery but don't do anything in there. If you can't even boot off of that image, I would have to say that there is something about how you are writing the images to the uSD that is the problem.

I have a bad NC USB cable that causes the appearing/disappearing act within Windows. Just for giggles, when booting w/o the uSD card installed, wait until it gets to the home screen. Connect to your computer. If the mounts properly, carefully flex the USB cable connector at the NC end. If you start getting weirdness, then you either have a bad cable or the NC's USB connector has gone a bit wonky.
Finally got it working. Apparently, creating the image using the built-in SD card reader in my laptop was messing something up. I used an external one that my wife has lying around, and it worked the first time.
Thanks for all the help I got in this thread
This may be a noob question and I hope there is a simple solution, but I couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
I just got a NC yesterday and used eyeballer's guide to install CM7, without the OC kernel. Installation went fine and now I'm running CM7, and everything appears fine, except for USB.
If I connect the USB cable, Windows 7 recognizes that NC is connected to it, and the NC batter starts charging, but there is no screen on the NC saying "USB mode" or whatever it is supposed to say, and I can't access the NC's data on my PC either.
Nevermind. NookColorUMS worked. Since I don't know what I'm doing it took a while to get it installed and figure it out.
What is NookColorUMS??
