Okay so here's the run down:
I've been having this problem with my G1 for awhile now, I've been connecting it to my computer, selecting Mount and it all works like normal. I go to my computer -> "Andrizzle" and then I can see all the folders. It's only when I attempt to modify anything in the SD Card that it will then disconnect and my phone acts like I chose to disconnect, allowing me to select mount again.
It's really annoying because now I have to take the SD card out, put it in a SD reader and then do it from there. Although it's not a HUGE hassle, it's still an unnecessary step that I'd like to solve. I've been trying to find a problem similar to this and couldn't find the right way to word it, nor could I find anyone with this issue in a thread. If someone has already solved this problem please direct me to it, otherwise I'm here anxiously awaiting some divine intervention!
instead of divine intervention, you get me, sorry life's a *****
This kept happening to me also, but my problem was on ubuntu, It was kicking me off because it was mistaken my phone for my ipod, I flashed a different rom and rebooted my computer and that did the trick for me, but you have prob already tried this......right?
i was going thru this ealier today. jus to to recovery and fix the file systems option will fix it believe it or not
So wait how exactly do I do that?
I know how to get to the recovery mode but there's a setting I need to change?
Nevermind.
That didn't solve it either
Bump?
Any help from anyone? This is a seriously annoying issue to have
What ROM are you using? What OS?
Give a little more details on your setup
I had the same problem today
I just powered down, then removed the sdcard and put it back in then rebooted. Then it was just fine. My guess is the contacts were just miss aligned.
I was on the Cyanogen STABLE 4.0.4 but am now currently on the Experimental version.
I have USB Debugging on and i've tried other SD cards. I don't know what the problem is. Any other information you need? I really want this to be fixed it's very annoying when I'm trying to do anything
i actually cannot remember the last time i tried to mount my sdcard while my phone was up and running (i.e. not in recovery), i always use adb bc it makes life better.
try to mount it in recovery with ums_enable and ums_disable to mount and unmount the sdcard respectively. if those work then it may be something that will not allow the phone to mount the sdcard when it is fully powered up (i.e. not in recovery).
i use to get a problem where it would mount then quickly unmount the sdcard. i usually just had to either try it a lot, or use my card reader.
I tried going into recovery and doing so,
it still didn't transfer the file.
I can see it in the Explorer, I can browse all the folders and such, look at pictures / videos / music but when I try to move anything around or transfer a file over it stops running.
Any ideas?
okay, so ive flashed a few roms and gotten pretty comfortable with it, however i need help getting the market to work
it opens, and i can see all the apps, but when i hit download it just says "starting download" and doesnt change.
can someone help? im new to the nook color, but ive flashed many roms on my htc aria.
Hi, I am a newb too Here's what I've read about your issue.....
Use Nook Color Tools:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > (Filter by all) Market > Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Services Framework > Clear Data > Force Close
Reboot
That worked great! Thanks!
From my experience doing the above only yields more apps and not all the apps like the newest CM7 build.
It's still easier and faster to just download to pc and than place it in a folder in your SD card and use astro to install it.
I've tried the above fix, and it just won't work for me. Does it matter that I'm running HC through an sd card? And just to clarify, when you say reboot, are you simply saying turn the nc off and then back on, or is there another, more official, reboot persay? Thanks! I'm a very new newb. I just got the market, gmail, etc. on there yesterday. Last thing I need to get working is being able to download from the market and then it'll be all good. Thanks!
One question for the guy that recommended downloading the apk to computer and then putting it on sd card...since I'm running HC by sd card, it doesn't appear that I have access to actually access the sd card when it's connected to the computer. It would show up as a disk drive, but it won't let me in it (saying something like no disc in drive). I can get adb up as that's how I got market on there in the first place. What would I have to do from there to get it on the Nook? Thanks for your help.
another 'solution' that seems to work well for me is to log into your "talk" application and then try to download from market...
Just tried the Talk signing in. Never tried it before. It "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." So whatever problem I'm having appears to be affecting that too. Ugh. Really didn't want to have to start from scratch, but guess I'm going to have to do that and see if it works then.

I'm having the same issues. 1) the market seems to be missing apps that I can see from my desktop. 2) I can't load apk files (or music or any other file) to NC. I can get the Market loaded via adb, my computer sees the Nook Color and the two drives (internal and SD card) but I can't access either of them. Is it because I'm running HC from the SD card? 3) is there a way for my desktop pc and the android market to recognize the NC so I can install apps from my desktop?
Thanks for the help.
so i got CM7 working with gapps and market. no problem there. however, now when i plug in via usb i can't open up the available storage on the SD. my computer sees the drive fine and assigns a letter, but says to insert a disk when i double click to open it up. the space was made available on the 8gb card using easeus.
on the bright side, the computer does recognize the ADB interface just fine which is great because it seems to be a PIA for many people.
last note, if i take out the CM7 bootable card i just have the stock nook color, not rooted. when booted up that way the computer recognizes the nook without any issue.
so what's going on here and how can i access storage while using CM7??
thanks in advance.
Don't have an answer for you but more info would be helpful to figure it out...from the mention of easeus I can figure out you are on winblows...which version? which version of CM? so on and so forth...the more info the better.

sorry, little new to all this.
i am using CM7 nightly build 39, yes i'm on windows (XP), used easeus 7.1.1 home edition to repartition which shows ~6 gig unused on the sd.
what other specifics do you need? as i said, i can copy files to the nook's storage, but not the SD card. i used this post here to get CM7 on the SD. no overclocking kernel. the only additional things other than CM7 itself is g-apps and market which i used the instructions from the same thread. that's literally all i've done, without the SD card in the nook boots to complete stock because i haven't even rooted it.
when i tried nookie froyo 0.6.8 before i also had the same issue.
is it a usb driver issue perhaps??
thanks alot.
I am not 100% sure on this, as I also am new. I have only installed to eMMC. I wonder if you need to get and use NookColorUMS. lets you mount any partition on the device.
Maybe one of te devs who ave set up te SD card versions can chime in?
Try the search function as well...really useful for tracking this stuff down.
Hi all,
After reading all the great stuff about the NC recently, CM7, Phiremod and the honeycomb releases Ive convinced a mate of mine in California who's visting the UK to bring me one over to tinker with..
Now.. After doing some research Im overwhelmed with info and thought Id ask for "up to date" pointers..
1. Is there a straightforward guide to rooting and installing the NC, as I live in the UK Im not fussed about the original NC rom. I've seen Cyanogenmods wiki entry http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide is this the best approach?
2. Which rom is best? Plain CM7, Phiremod or Honeycomb as posted by deeper blue?
3. Any other pointers?
Sorry for such basic questions, im just overloaded and not 100% sure which is the best process to take.
thanks all in advance
Angelo
Take a look in the stickies, there are comprehensive guides to root....just make sure you're using the correct version. If your mate is buying a brand new one for you, you'll most likely need the version for rooting with partitions. I have used all 3 of the roms you mentioned and my personal preference is CM. Phiremod is just a heavily themed version of CM and the honeycomb build is ok, but it lacks some features and is still a bit buggy because the source code has not been released for honeycomb

If you decide on CM7 (which I personally recommend), I would look for "How to Install CynaogenMod 7 on the Nook Color" (can't post links) on YouTube. I personally found it very useful. If something seems off, make sure you look at the description and read some user comments. With the way this guy explains it it's practically idiot proof and it's unlikely you'll mess anything up.
thanks
Thanks Guys,
I've been doing more reading and yeah looks straightforward..
Considering Im not interested in the core B&N OS, I was thinking of installing CM7 to the internal memory and then perhaps installing Honeycomb (deeperblue version) on a memory stick to "play with".
From what I can tell the HC port is nice as a toy but not robust enough considering HC hasnt been released to AOSP.
Makes sense?
If you are looking to 'play with' honeycomb on a MicroSD install, check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018
You get Honeycomb and Phiremod in a dual-boot image tailored for a MicroSD install.
Read through the thread and see if it's to your taste.
For the most usable ROM, go with CM7. Just follow this guide in this post. Very simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
The only issue is if you have a "blue dot" with the newer partition. Just read the RED text at the beginning of that post.
After you get this running, you can read up a little more and create a SD card w/ Honeycomb or Phiremod to play around with. But CM7 is the most stable out there (well, I guess Phiremod is good to, because it is a customized CM7).
Good Luck.
Use CM7, it's the best for now.
HC is beauty but still a lot of work to be done.

+1 for this guide!
"The only issue is if you have a "blue dot" with the newer partition. Just read the RED text at the beginning of that post."
For some reason I thought that statement was obsoleted, am I wrong?
It was valid if you have v1.2 NC and flashing with CwM Recovery prior to v3.2.xx.
But since the instructions do indicate using v3.2.0.1 CwM, then why care about blue-dot or not since it has been taken care off unless v3.2.x.x not properly does the job.
Maybe because you have a choice in partition schemes?
You really will want to repartition the new nook. 1 gb is a very small partition for your programs. 5gb works much better and the change is fairly painless.

That's a reasonable reason but again, it shouldn't be highlighted in RED, ORANGE at best
In fact, since it's a choice of good, it should be in GREEN.
thanks guys
Thanks guys, Im in awe with all the feedback and comments this thread is getting..
yes, Ive received the NC today and its charging Also doing loads and loads of reading
My nook does have a bluedot so my partitions are 5gb Data/1Gb Media.
I'll probably leave it like so, considering CWM supports this now its ok, and put most of my media on an external 16gb microsd card..
If Im right I can still install apps into the 5gb partition right?
Also , if I understand it correctly I can actually install CM7 onto a microSD and simply boot from this right ,without rooting/installing CWM... ?

You can still install apps into the /data partition but pls note: if your NC isn't rooted, you can only install apps that offered by B&N. You do not have full access of Android Market.
About CM7, yes, you can run CM7 off uSD and not touching the eMMC (aka internal memory) at all. Be considered getting a Sandisk (class 2 or class 4)
B-i-g thanks
All,
BIG Thanks to everyone,
I've successfully (actually flawlessly), repartitioned my nook to the old standard and installed CM7 into the internal memory..
All flawlessly. Also ordered a sandisk 16gb memory card from amazon.co.uk, so that will hold most of the media..
I was considering making the main partition >1Gb (1.9Gb) but decided to leave it as it is for now.. It was so easy yo tweak I thought Id try it vanilla and then grow if I need to..
Awesome-ness
ok wheres my 5gb?
ok got one question now..
/media is supposed to have 5gb available..
CM7 doesnt appear to allow me to use it as a SD card.. but ive found it mounted as /mnt/emmc
How does one use it ??? I tried downloading pdfs and I was told that an SD card was required for this... :-( when i get home I was going to try mounting it via usb to a computer but is that the only way?
There are 2 things you need to know
1. If you're running CM7, you MUST have a uSD. "MUST" does seem to be a strong word but for some reason, that I still try to figure out, an external uSD is required. W/o it, you can still using it but there's some apps won't run if no uSD plugged. It means the NC works 99.9% w/o uSD. I guess I should take the "MUST" back, ehhh
2. If you're running the recently nightly-build CM7, the USB storage utitlity should already be implemented within the ROM. All you need to do is
1. Connect NC and PC via USB cable
2. by this time, the usb indicator should be appeared on the NC, tab on it
3. Tab on Connect USB to transfer .......
4. Turn USB Mass Storage on
5. by this time, PC should recognize the /media on the NOOK
6. do what you want to do

Hey Angelo, I just wanted to share my experience.
I love gadgets, and tinkering with gadgets. I am an IT manager/minor programmer/webmaster, etc. etc... so no surprise that I feel right at home here BUT, I also love to read and I think that the Nook app for Android is bunk (e.g. "poor") compared to the stock NC experience.
I decided pretty early on that I wanted to keep the NC stock (partially due to warranty) and have a dual boot option for CM7. I had initially installed CM7 on my NC, replacing the stock rom all together. I ended up putting the stock ROM back on.
Here is a post from another thread where I outline that experience...and the guides that I use.
I talk about partitions in that post, since you have a new NC, don't even bother yourself with that...just note the guides there that will get you where you want to go, either way....

Many (older) apps in on Android are designed to ONLY look for storage called "sdcard". So your 5gb of internal (emmc) called "Media" will not be able to be utilized by those Apps.
Apps that are better programmed and designed can access the memory called "Media".
EDIT: Well slap me sideways and call me a salamander. I just tried restarting the nook *again* after getting out of recovery... and lo and behold, the computer recognizes it. It can see both the emmc and sdcard drives. It recognizes it as a "media device" but, oh well. At least I can swap files (hopefully).
Sorry for the troubles! This thread can be locked, deleted, burned, whisked away to the 10th level of hell, etc.
---------------------
Hi all,
I've searched around the forums for "USB MOUNT" issues but couldn't find one that address my problem. Apologies in advance if this has already been answered before.
I just installed the paranoidandroid 1.6 rom, and have been running it. I really like it, and thank you to everyone who made that rom possible.
I'm experiencing a problem where the USB just doesn't mount or even detect that it's plugged into a computer. I don't see any options in the settings on this rom to deal with USB connections.
I can boot into CW recovery and mount the SD card, which works flawlessly.
I'm not sure what the issue could be. Does this rom simply not support USB connections for some reason? I couldn't find any mention in the development thread about USB not working. Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to post in the development forum, so I thought I would try here.
So just to recap: I can mount the /sdcard when I am in recovery. Computer detects the nook just fine when connected through USB, and I even have access to ADB commands and such.
When running the rom, however, USB only reports as being a power source. I get no USB connection options, no "mount storage" menu or anything. My computer, likewise, acts as if nothing has been plugged into it. No little sound or any hint that any usb device has been plugged in.
Thank you so much!
