Hi,
I'm new to the forum and I have been reading all of the exciting things that can be done with a rooted Nook Color. I want to root mine, but my SD card reader isn't being read and I really don't want to have to buy a new one just yet. Is there a way to root the Nook Color with only the USB cable and not having to use an SD card?
Why don't you want to buy a new card reader? They cost like $10. If you want to root this device, you should really buy one sooner rather than later.

Hey guys, I'm new to this Treo and I tried to read through the AT&T Wm6 thread but there are just too many pages. I wanted to know if its possible to update the software on my 750 to the ATT Wm6 rom through my computer? I don't have a MiniSD card to use although I do have a MicroSD which is way too small. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Nope you will either need a miniSD card or a miniSD card adapter for microSd like I do. Man did it help my butt. Here I will give you a link so you don't have to look for one .http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Micro...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1191565153&sr=8-2
It looks nothing like the picture, it looks solid and stable if you get it from them, but its not in a retail package its in a blue container and a silver plastic baggie.
installed, formatted up like usual...working like a champ!! (sorry if everyone already knows this)
Thanks for the info, I was thinking about buying one with my Kaiser, now I am sure it works.
Where did you buy it from?
I planing to buy a milestone second hand.
the guy says that the phone doesn't want to format the memory card - he says it's from the software. so he is selling it pretty cheap. the phone is in warranty till august 2012.
i intend to buy it, root and flash custom rom and i think this will fix the issue.
do you guys think this can be a hardware problem though?
or maybe the memory card is in bad shape and he doesn't know it?
You can always format the memory card using a laptop or a computer..
If the card itself is in bad shape, buy a new one, they aren't that expensive
he sais the phone cannot format the card and shows that the card is not formated ( i'm asuming he tryed formating on the pc and still dones't work).
can the problem be from the hardware?
It can.
Easiest way to find out is meet with the seller, and bring a fat32 formatted microsd card with you.
If the phone can read it, then go ahead and buy it. If it cannot (and the seller is telling you that you cannot return merchandise), then you might be taking an uncalculated risk there.

thanks for the info. i will test it with the card from my htc tattoo.
but if the problem is from the software, than a custom ROM can fix it i guess. well it's maybe a try and risk case and i'll have to sell it afterwards.
well i had this sdcard issue as well. Neither my phone nor ubuntu could format my sdcard. A new 8 GB card for 9,50€ solved it for me so maybe its the same for you

Wait, the warrant is up to aug 2012?
AFAIK, Motorola only issues 1 year of warranty.
You should ask him again

If you are looking for true custom ROMs then I would look else ware due to the Milestones looked bootloader.
i was just looking arround for a phone better than what i have - htc tattoo. i love the little thing and don't need anything extremly fast/new or fancy. milestone is nice and the price is good. i just hope this can be worked around with th e sd card
Yeah, just get another one.
Before formatting sdcard you chose an option-settings/sdcard and phone storage/unmount sdcard for safe removal. Then you can format sdcard form the phone itself.
I am pretty sure that's the issue because it happened with me too.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
wrong thread
Take with you working sd card an try to format it with phone if it can't format it do a hard reset and try again. When you do hard reset and if the phone can't format card I think this is hardware problem may be the sd card slot is damaged. If everything is ok buy it Milestone is very good android device.
saw these online. the site is a trusted one (bought lots of stuff from this site and they are reliable) but what im not sure of is if the items listed wont hurt my hd7
3500mh Battery with Replacement back Cover and 32gb micro sd card class 2
what do you think guys?
any advice, suggestion and tips you will share will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
san disk
have u tried walmart for the card
I've looked everywhere all over the internet to see if anyone has experienced this issue with not many answers. A while back my Micro SD slot would not read after a few events that I'm not sure which one may be the cause. I have a 32gb Sandisk Class 10 it works and was the proper format when I had it in the phone, it works fine in other devices and phones but not my phone. One event I had was that my phone got extremely hot one day when I was using it outside on a very hot day. Had to turn it off for a little while. But the other event is that I used the test 4.4.2 one click odin back in august. After those few things my micro sd slot never worked again I flashed to an official 4.4.2 using odin and have root but still not able to see the sd card at all. I want to know what I can do, phone is out of warranty. Is there a software issue or would I have to replace the Micro SD/Sim Slot. Is there anyone that would be able to fix this. Could I just replace the logic board, and If that is the case could I replace the logic /mother board with one from a tmobile phone, unlocked bootloader.

At least if it's an SD card issue, getting a replacement is as easy as going to http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/list/kw/microsd microsdhc/ opening a live chat and asking for one.

Hard to say. Stock 4.4.2 should read the SD card, no matter what was there before. (If my many-times-bricked phone can still read the SD card with almost stock 4.4.2, yours should too.)
or would I have to replace the Micro SD/Sim Slot. Is there anyone that would be able to fix this.

It could be the slot. I'd ask around for recommendations where you live. Some shops are great, some just ruin your phone. (I know - I owned a few before I retired. The "techs" who just wanted to start repairing phones, with no training, made "dime a dozen" sound expensive. [Not that I ever hired one. You want to work for me, here's a phone that doesn't work. You have 30 minutes to call me from it.])
Could I just replace the logic board, and If that is the case could I replace the logic /mother board with one from a tmobile phone, unlocked bootloader.

Probably. Not "you", though - someone who's opened a cellphone before, at least a few times. One wrong pinched wire and you'll need another motherboard. (The battery has enough power in it, when fully charged, to weld the plastic case to the wooden table - figuratively speaking. Pinch a wire with full battery current available to ground and you'll let all the "magic smoke" out of the phone and it'll stop working.)

Well I have opened up a few phones before its not that hard. As far as getting a local shop to swap the slot out that my prove to be a little hard considering were I live the people here are 10 years behind technology. Plus I think it would cost me as much as just buying a new logic board. What I really want is to flash a new rom to my phone I can deal with the 32gb of storage, but everytime I upload a rom and flash it from safestrap my internal memory goes to 0mb available then I have to odin reflash even when I load up via adb, when I restart the phone pass safe strap I just go into a black screen never does anything after that. Right now I'm just running stock 4.4.2 root
Well I think I answered my own question, just bought an OTG cable, I forgot about using a flash drive
