Hi everyone, new member here. Just wanted to say thanks to the devs on this forum as I was able to root my nook color with honeycomb and was quite successful on the first try! I really enjoy it and it works exceptionally!
However I have a couple questions, that I'm not sure I could understand the answers to.
1. So I guess you can't use SD cards in the version we have loaded to the NC correct? I ask because I tried to mount mine, it seemed to lock up, so stupidly I popped it out. That basically cooked my SD card as now nothing will read it and it won't format in my PC, my digital camera, or anything else. Yes I know I am an idiot, just want to make sure I have the right understanding of how I screwed up.
2. When I plug my NC into my PC with the USB cable aside from charging the NC does not acknowledge its connected. On my PC it adds two "USB drives" of which if i try to access either it says "please insert a disk". So does rooted Honeycomb not work over the USB cable as well, or did I screw something up on my PC?
this is the Honeycomb I installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
Anyone know about this?

hi guys, just wondering if anybody has had this problem before
when connecting via usb, naturally you get the usb connected notification, ignore that for now thats another problem possibly related
so, usb connected, memory card NOT mounted, try to for example, push an apk or any other command, lets take adb shell for example
phone with problem running CM4.0.2, not detected
using another phone, same cable, same usb port, it connects...
the other problem is mounting the mem card, you select mount, then almost immediately you get notification saying preparing SD... memory card not mounted at all, but the working phone this only happens from time to time
anybody had this an know of a software fix, or is it hardware related
quick note it is a pre-owned phone so we don't know the full history
hard spl, 26I radio, cm4.0.2
working phone has xrom 1.4r3, 2005 SPL and 26I radoi, not that it should matter
-=edit=- on a completely unrelated note.... WOO senior member

Dumb question but did you have adb set up and working before?
yea, works fine on the phone with xrom, but not at all with the cm4.0.2 phone, like i said, same cable, same port, same computer
you will find the solution here ...

Have fun!
Hey Guys,
I am having a vexing problem with my rooted NC. All of a sudden, after 5 great days of rooted goodness my NC will not sync up with my PC at all, not as itself or as a mass storage device. Moments before this happened, I had downloaded some pdf magazines through Calibre and several moments before I had installed the RepliGo pdf reader app from the market. I have deleted the two magazines, rebooted both my nook and computer several times, tried all of my pc's usb ports, unchecked the usb auto mount, the re checked and nothing I have tried has worked. Everything else is working great and I can load files on to the sd card through my PC and they are recognized just fine after I re-install the card. Also, when I plug my cord in to the nook linked to the PC it starts charging just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
OK, let's start with a dumb question. My NC can be fickle...sometimes when I connect USB, it automatically mounts, other times it takes a while. One thing is for sure...I get nothing unless I look at the screen, and make sure it's unlocked (swiped past the lock screen). Have you made sure to do that?
Sorry if that's an idiotic question.

Thanks for the quick reply. Each time I plugged in my nook after I made some change I was sure to unlock to confirm that I was still having the same problem. Also, when looking in the device manager I doesn't seem to acknowledge that a new device has been plugged in which makes me thing something is going on with me nook.
Next question...have you tried a few different USB cables? Also, I'm on my second (soon to be third) Nook. The first had a USB port that appeared to have minor internal damage. When you plug in the USB does it go in smoothly, or does it take a few tries? If the latter you may have port issues.
-Matt
I haven't yet, but I plan on bringing the cord to a B&N close to my work tomorrow to see if that is the problem. Is there somewhere that I can get the nook color usb drivers? I have seen a link on nook devs but it is in the context of using adb so I don't know if it would apply to this situation.
Thanks
Jon
I get this too. Got my cable replaced at B&N today. Haven't tried it on my computer yet though. When I connected mine to my MacBook, it will say that the nook is drawing too much power and then disables my USB port. Annoying.

I was going to mention reinstalling the drivers, but you noted that it isn't showing up in device manager. But I wonder...take a look at:
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_USB_ADB
In particular, this might be helpful:
If you did not succeed, identify each nook entry in device manager (each device with a Hardware ID of USB\VID_2080&..., right click and uninstall it. There may be several. Uninstall all of them. Unplug the nookColor, replug it, and restart from Section III.

So I would need to do all of the steps on the aforementioned nook devs site in order to reinstall the drivers. Also, in the device manager I looked at all the usb devices and did not find the right information to indicate the nook was attached.
Thanks for all of the help

Has anyone tried burning the images to the uSD while it is inside the Nook Color and connected to your computer via usb? I don't have an external reader with me and I was wondering if doing things this way is even possible. Would it mess anything up in the Nook?
No and yes. If you know what you are doing you could use adb or terminal to dd exsisting images to the microsd. But it is just better to buy a cheap reader and don't deal with the hassle of commands. Just buy a reader and keep your sanity. Since you are asking this question I am assuming that you aren't yet familiar with such things. Neither am I. Please do yourself a favor and read before you try or ask anything. Good luck

Does anyone know if using your Android phone would work? I could put it into CWR and enable USB mount. I can't imagine anything being wrong with that, but has anyone tried it?
Found the answer to my own question. Can't post links but in the nookdevs faq.
nookdevs.com/Nookie_FroYo:_Burning_a_bootable_SD_card
There is a note that says:
"Devices with integrated card readers (cameras, smartphones, the Nook itself) will often not be able to rewrite the partition table and won't make bootable cards. Dedicated USB card readers are ideal."
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??
I'm not sure if this little gadget is considered USB OTG or if that is something else entirely, but.....
This little gadget I picked up has a micro USB end for my phone and a normal USB end for my computer.
It's supposed to help me move files between the two.
I purchased it for a specific purpose, and it worked perfectly.
Put it in the junk drawer and forgot all about it.
I have another need (use) for it, and for the life of me can't figure out why it no longer works.
I put it in the computer, its recognized just fine. Accepts files just fine.
When I put it in the phone is where I am having problems.
If I go into 'Setttings', 'Storage & USB', I can see it, however, when I go into my root browser, its not showing up ANYWHERE!
I downloaded ES File Explorer to try it out with similar results of the Settings findings.
It see's the USB, and when I click on it to 'mount' it just says 'Sorry. Operation failed'
Anyone have any idea what could be going on and/or how to remedy this?
I'm rooted, running Pure Nexus 6.0 20151122
Any insight/help is appreciated!
I had heard that Marshmallow has native USB OTG support, but I don't think it worked on mine. Have you tried Stickmount? If you're rooted it should work fine.
Thanks for the reply.
Gave it a try when I got home and worked like a charm!
Can't thank you enough. Was driving me crazy.
