Increasing SD Card Capacity - Nook Color General

I used autonooter to root my v. 1.1.0 nook color. I currently have a 4 GB SD card installed and would like to increase its capacity to 16 GB without messing something up or having to re-root. I believe the following procedure would work, but I would like a second, or perhaps third opinion before I try it:
1. Connect nook to USB port of PC.
2. Create a new subdirectory on the PC and copy the contents of 4 GB SD card to this subdirectory.
3. Disconnect USB.
4. Unmount SD card in nook.
5. Physically remove 4 GB card from nook.
6. Physically install new, out of the box 16 GB card.
7. When the nook recognizes the new card, format it.
8. Reconnect USB.
9. Copy contents of the subdirectory created in step 2 above to the new SD card.
10. Disconnect USB.
11. Reboot for good luck.
12. Wind up with exactly the same nook as before, but now with more memory.
Any feedback / suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Or turn off Nook, move card to PC, copy files, swap in new card, copy files, move new card to Nook, reboot.
Equivalent, might be faster. Remember to unmount before removing cards.

Thanks for the feedback. It was really easy and works like a charm.

Um... which part are you having trouble with? Physically swapping the card is fairly straightforward.
If you want to copy your music and other files from the original card to the new one...
With the original card installed:
1) Connect N1 to your computer via USB.
2) Enable USB storage from the notification pulldown.
3) Copy everything off the SD card and into a folder on your desktop.
4) Eject/unmount the USB storage, disable USB storage on the phone, and power off.
5) Remove the battery cover, battery, and the old SD card.
6) Install the new SD card, battery, and battery cover.
7) Power on the phone.
8) Enable USB storage from the notification pulldown.
9) Copy everything out of the folder on your desktop and onto the new SD card.
10) Eject/unmount the USB storage.
If you're currently using a2sd (storing apps on an ext partition of the SD card, not the Froyo version), you've got to do it a bit differently.
1) With the current card installed, reboot into Amon_RA recovery.
2) Select Backup/Restore option --> Nand + ext backup
3) Once complete, connect phone to computer, and select USB-MS toggle option.
4) From your computer, copy everything off the SD card into a folder on the desktop. Disable USB-MS toggle when finished.
5) Power off, remove battery cover, remove battery, remove SD card, install new SD card, install battery, install battery cover, Power on into Recovery (VOL_DOWN + POWER).
6) Partition SD card using the same partition sizes and types as on the old card.
7) USB-MS toggle.
8) From your computer, copy everything out of the folder on your desktop onto the SD card. Disable USB-MS toggle when finished.
9) Backup/Restore --> Nand Restore --> Most recent restore.
10) Reboot into Android with everything as before.
Anything else?
I just thought there was more to it! I read u had to partition and all that. I'm running cm6. Got it working just thought I had to do more. When I access my SD card it shows all my stuff b4 it only showed my roms thought I could fix this

You only need to partition it if you are running some sort of apps-to-ext setup. Otherwise, you only need the one FAT32 partition.
Thanks been a lot of help. Looks like I should've gone with the 32gb card oh well this will work

Micro SD Help

I just got my class 10 micro SD in the mail today and want to swap out my old one. Is the process as easy as copying everything over to the new card, or is there something else I need to do? Also, when I plug my Nook into my pc, I get two drives. One is a removeable disk, the other is mynookcolor. So yeah, now Im really confused. My rom is installed on the internal memory.

If your running off of EMMC then it's pretty simple if the Old card is just 1 big fat32 partition with normal Android data files and other things. I reccomend using a seperate card reader however. Now just Plug the Old card into your PC and copy all of the files to a Folder on said PC. Now plugin New card in and copy the files to the New Card. Enjoy.

Done. What was throwing me off was the partition the system automatically creates. I wasnt sure if I needed to copy that as well. Once I popped the new card in it automatically created those files. Everything is good. Time to test speeds.
Thanks!

nook dual usd card files tranfer from comuputer

Hi
Please respond to the following. I tried a lot to look the answer to my problem in the forums, but could not find it (or did not get the right forum)
I dual booted my NC with CM7.1.0. It was working fine without any problem, but suddenly stopped entering into the main screen. Whenever i on the nook the Cyanogen loading ... screen comes and then screen flashes and turns lit black.. the NC is not off but it does not reach to the main system. I tried to use update the CM by copying a new file to usd, but it did not let me do so.. computer hanged. I do not want to format it as it has some .xls files in documents folder in the 4th partition of usd. Can someone please tell me how to extract those files using computer's sd car slot ( I can not use nook usb option as it is not booting CM) and how to recover the older working condition.
I assume you have stock working on emmc. I have a flash file that you can temporarily flash to stock to make it read the fourth partition of the SD as 'sdcard'. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and item B3 in the second post (last paragraph). It tells you how to modify stock to read that partition. If your stock is rooted, you can just edit the file yourself. If not rooted, you need to flash one of the files attached to the post. Instructions are there. After retrieving your files you can revert stock back to normal by re-editing the file or by flashing a second zip, or just keep it that way and use partition four for both systems. Then you can start over with your verygreen SD and reinstall CM7.
could not get it

We'll take this one step at a time. Do you have stock nook still on your internal memory? And if you do, is it rooted or just virgin stock?

Thanks for being so patient. I dont think it is rooted and the stock nook is touched as i follow a link provided in this forum to boot usd and dual boot nook without losing warranty to install cm7 on a usd.
When i use boot the nc, i see following responses
1. boot without usd: boots to original nc, all files and applications are there and work perfectly fine.
2. boot with usd without going to boot menu: cyanogen loading banner shows up and then screen flashes. .then a lit black screen .. nothing happens after that
3. boot with usd and selecting emmc in boot menu: boots to original nc but hangs at home screen
4. boot with usd and selecting sd (external storage) in boot menu: cyanogen loading banner shows up and then screen flashes. .then a lit black screen .. nothing happens after that

Your SD is definitely messed up. You will need to reinstall after we get your file saved that you want.
You will need a spare SD card that you can put my bootable CWM recovery on.
Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and download to your PC three files attached there. The one that starts CWM... and the two that start update-stock...
Extract the CWM zip. It will have a 200Mb .img file in it. Burn that to the spare SD just like you did when you made the verygreen SD. Once that is burned and you can see it on your PC, copy the two update-stock... zips to it.
Remove that SD from the PC and put in the nook. Boot. The CWM menu will come up. Select 'install zip from sdcard '. Then select 'choose zip from sdcard'. Scroll through the list and pick 'update-stockemmc-vold-fstab-modified-for-partition4.zip'. Then confirm the selection. It will flash the zip. Remove the CWM card and reboot to stock.
Insert the verygreen SD and you should be able to connect your USB and see partition 4 on the PC as 'sdcard'.
To return your stock to original after retrieving your file, just go through the process of flashing the other update file with CWM. But most people like leaving it modified so that they can always use just one SD for both systems.

I did exactly same, but could not see partition 4 on the pc as 'sdcard'. I see two drives 1. mynookcolor ( i can access all files in it), and 2. a removable disk drive I:/ ( that i can not access). I do not see my files (see pic below) those are on the 4th partition of sd card.
You need to mount the card in settings. Go to settings, device info, SD card. And choose 'mount SD card'.

It is already mounted. It shows sd card memory (not available), unmount SD card (\unmount the sd card for safe removal), and format sd card (format (erase) the sd card). However, only third option is active others are grey/inactive.

If it says unavailable and the first two are greyed out, that means it is not mounted. Pull it out and put it back in... wait you had the cable unplugged when you checked that didn't you? You should have.

What I am asking is with the USB cable removed, what does the settings show? If you remove and replace the SD with the settings window open, is there any difference? You say it detects it, how do you know that?
Edit: I have been searching for a solution for you. There are two ways to see those files with your PC. To view it in Windows, you must make several complicated changes to your drivers. I'm sure you do not want to do that. The other way is to use Linux. It has the ability to see and mount multiple partitions on an SD. You can either find someone who has a Linux system to do it for you or you can make yourself a Ubuntu Live CD that you can boot with your PC. None of these options are easy, which is why I was trying to do it the other way on your nook.
I don't know why your system is not mounting that SD properly. Even if those changes I had you make were not there, it should at least mount partition one on the nook.

The card is not written correctly... if you format it in the nook... you will see it on your computer... then you can remove it... and try writing the uSDcard image again with win32diskimager

Dizz, he was trying to figure out how to get his data off of partition 4 before he reformats and starts again. I was hoping he could do it with the nook, but it is not reading it. I had him modify emmc so it can see partition 4, but no luck here. Do you have any ideas?
Sent from my Nook Color running ParanoidAndroid and Tapatalk
I just had another thought. Put the card in the PC and open with your partition software. Delete partition one, two and three. Then maybe windows can see partition 4, since it is now partition one. You may have to move it to the beginning of the SD, but I don't think you have to.
Edit: I was able to test this on my spare SD card with the EaseUS partition program and it works. Be sure to give it a drive letter.

No, your installed apps are stored on partition 3. But if you bought them, google lets you redownload and install to as many devices as you want, as long as you are logged in to your Google Play account. What you will get back is things you had stored on 'sdcard' (pictures, books, music and other files like your xls files you wanted, what you saw in that screenshot you posted.)

I had thought of this before I commented about the SD being not formatted correctly... should only have to delete partition 1 ("boot") since windows should use the first fat partition....
However...
Since the nook doesn't show "unmount" or ""sd card memory" active... it is certainly not reading partition 1 correctly.
He can flash my B&N 1.4.1 with SASD vold.fstab edits to see partition 4 (if it can read it) and transfer everything from that partition.

Having Trouble With Nook HD+ 2.0.5

I have looked all over xda for a tutorial on rooting a Nook HD+ 2.0.5 Tablet
I have tried all sorts of tutorials. I cannot seem to find a root that will just put gapps on.
I tried:
Allinone.bat
root_win
all the cmds do is just close seconds after opening them.
Is there a way I can downgrade my HD+ Tablet to a lower version so i can root?
Im just a lost duck right now
I can understand your frustration, haha. It's not big problem, you can root and place GAPPs onto your device. Please follow the guide below, which I have wrote previously but have adapted into this post.
However, before you do so, please make sure you have a minimum 4GB microSD card present (I used a SanDisk 4GB class 4). When you register your device, your Nook will check for updates. It will find 2.0.5 and update to it. Just so you know, someone0 and leapinlar have worked together to bring a "Universal Root" for the Nook HD+ and that universal root even roots version 2.0.5 (thank you someone0 and leapinlar; I'm currently using it). After registering your device, you will be introduced to your Nook interface. It's empty, even the apps are pretty much useless (except for Browser, only positive); you can't even spend more than 10 minutes on it, without enjoying what your doing. So I would recommend the root + GAPPs to unlock most of the "Android" features. To use the universal root, you'll need to boot into CWM (ClockWorkMod) via SD card (minimum of 4GB, anything less won't be detected/viable). Before registering and continuing with what I say, please make sure you are able to write onto your SD card using your computer. Although we are using CWM, we are NOT going to flash any ROMs (unless you want to of course, but the following "guide" below won't detail so).
First, you'll need to insert your SD card into your computer; where you're in a position where you can write on the card. (Files links/sources/information was sourced from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613 by leapinlar)
Write the CWM .img (NookHD+bootable-CWM-6023-for-emmc-stock-4GB.zip) onto the SD Card using "Win32diskimager in Windows or use the dd command in Linux or OSX".
Download NookHD+Universal-Root.zip and place it within the SD Card. Also do this for the GAPPS + EXTRAS (including ManualOTA and Unknown Sources) .zip file, which you can download here (put together by leapinlar). DO NOT extract the .zip, just place them into the SD card.
At this point, make sure you have registered your Nook HD+, updated and installed version 2.0.5. Also make sure you have launched the stock ROM at least once (i.e. turned on the device into the Nook software/modified Android OS).
Now, turn off your device (hold the power button until a message is displayed on screen, and press shut down, or similar on screen). At the bottom of the Nook, on the left of the charging port, there is a cover protecting the SD card slot. Take it out (not all the way, it's attached to the body), and place in your SD card (with the CWM and universal root, as well optionally the GAPPS; although recommend installed on the SD card).
With the SD card in, turn your Nook on. After a few seconds, you should load into CWM. Select the option "install .zip from SD card" (use volume up/down to move across the list, "n" button below screen to select, and power button to move up one menu).
Firstly, install "NookHD+Universal-Root.zip". Wait for it to fully install, then install the GAPPS + Extras.
After the last step, reboot your device and take out the SD card before reboot. You should now load into your stock OS, whilst being rooted and and GAPPs installed on version 2.0.5. Success!
After the above guide, I would personally recommend Nova Launcher Prime; it unleashes the full experience of Android for me anyway. Haha, from now it's all yours.
All the best, and I hope this works for you. :victory:

Ok Sweet,
Do I need a mini sd Reader to be able to write the .img or can i just put the mini sd in the nook and write from that.
Once im done rooting the device i can take out the mini sd and replace with a regular one?
Unfortunately, you'll need a MicroSD Card Reader. Most modern laptops often have them integrated (hence, how I was able to do it). If you're on a desktop, you may need to purchase a reader, or see if you can borrow a friend's laptop, or a library's? You can't write onto the card via Nook connected to the card; it often corrupts after ejecting and may not allow you to root, or even boot up CWM. You'll need to connect it directly to the computer.
Also you only need the SD card temporarily to root, and install GAPPS. After that, you do not need a microSD card (unless you want to use it as external storage). If you want to use the card as external storage after rooting, just format the whole card. If you do not want to use it as external storage, you can just root your device, and take out the card and leave it as it is. You do NOT need the card after rooting + GAPPS.
Also please make sure you're using a MicroSD card, and not a miniSD. miniSD's are not compatible with Nook HD+, but a microSD is.
Best of luck.
Is there Cyanogenmod 10 for the HD+ also? if so where is the tutorial for that.
Will it fully remove the reader side of my nook? for example; i wont be able to buy books from B&N

Yes, look in the development thread. It gets installed on SD so your stock is left alone. And you can add the android Nook app and have access to your purchased books.

Get the free program SDFormatter on the web. Then set the option for size adjustment and format it. Should take it back to full size.

simply Put it on the camera and use the format ability of camera to format it. It should be back to normal.

hi, worked perfectly thanks very much, people like you make this site so awesome
Once you burn ClockWorkMod (or any other recovery), your SD card becomes partitioned. The other partition can only be accessible by the Nook.
If you no longer want to use this SD card in your Nook, or would prefer just to use this card as a media card; you can use the software SDFormatter. Use this software to format, and your card will be restored back to it's factory settings (unless you decide to change the file system).
You can find this software for Windows here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/eula_windows or for Mac: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/eula_mac/
All the best.
