I have figured out it is the ext partition of the internal card is been switched to read only
Unformatable and unaccessable from adb
If we can get this to be writable again it should help....but my adb know how sux.....but in learning

Ok....well I contacted someone an they said that the internal SD card could be replaced cause it was a micro SD........2 hours later its been stripped apart no micro SD found and reasymbled .....its a sandisk 16 gig nand and not replaceable.......good thing for full insurance........now to decide what kind of horable death it shall receive before I cough up the 150 deductable ........I'm thinking chuck it out the window while driving down the interstate ......then throw it in the dishwasher for awhile ........I'm open for suggestion

I'm probably going to sell my Nook Color w/CM7.0.2 on it here soon. How would I prep it for sale as fare as making sure all my personal data is off it, like my gmail account, etc. I suppose I could just change all the passwords to everything so it can't be accessed. But I was wondering if there was a way I could re-install the ROM to a "new" state so the next user has a fresh rig. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
wipe data/cache, reinstall gapps.
or reinstall stock os, and give them the xda link so they can discover and enjoy rooting too
Yeah, just restore, or at least load 7.0.2 + 4/04 kernel (since both are...problem free?).
Or just flash the update 1.2, Did my spare and it worked fine.
or... don't sell it at all!
considering you will get about 150 $ for a used nook color... why renounce to a such awesome device for a few dollars??
Or sell it to me for $100 and I'll make sure that your data gets wiped. No, really, I will.
Uh, I think it will sell for more than that LOL....
Why you giving up on the Nook Color KDOG? Found a Transformer for sale somewhere?
EDIT: I would sell it in dual boot mode. Primary boot being CM7 and secondary boot being stock 1.2.
I think it would be a better Idea to sell it with clean stock and point them in the direction of a XDA HowTo. If they can't do it alone they can ask for help and in the process, learn important skills for later.
This topic makes it dead simple to Flash to a Completely Virgin Stock without leaving anything behind.

Giving this tthread a bump to see if there is any more info. to be shared on this subject.
I would restore a fresh stock 1.2 on emmc with an option of a preinstalled CM7 sdcard.
I may buy it if you're willing to sell for $150

I'm gonna see if I can get 200 for it seeing as I added a class 10 8gb card and a nice neoprene case for it but I will keep your offer in mind. Any other advice for prepping it?

I'd take the SD card out since I've been reading that class 10 SD cards aren't great for booting it off the card. Bring it to like $175
How's the condition of the unit otherwise?

$175 is a good price for the NC. I just lost out on one for about $170 on eBay because I forgot about the bid confirm popup when I tried to outbid at 2 seconds left. Sucks, but oh well! Haha If you two don't get something happening on that, send an offer my way!
Arrrrgggghhhhh . . . micro SD card won't stay in. I know I'm pushing it in far enough and it feels like it's locking in place. I had NO problem ejecting it so it just doesn't make sense.
I've tried 2 different cards and neither will stay in. I search XDA and internet for solution but the only thing that I find is to return it because it appears the SD card slot is broken. I bought my NC used on eBay over 2 months ago and everything has been working fine, so returning it is NOT solution for me.
Any suggestions are very, very much appreciated!!
By the way, this is my first post . . . so, please be gentle!!!
Can you get it to boot from it if you hold it in with your finger?

The same thing happened to me, I also couldn't return it. I bought it from eBay and I live in Europe.
I couldn't fix the SD slot, but I noticed that if I force the card to stay in it connects. In the end I pushed a folded piece of thin cardboard between the card and the plastic, which forced the card to stay in. It has worked ok for the last 4 months or so. I cannot remove the sd-card though, but since I have a 32gb one, it doesn't really matter.
Could it be out of spec cards and not the nook that is causing the problems? Have you tried other cards or brand of card to see if they might stay in place?

For me at least the sd card slot was definitely broken, I tried at least three different cards from different brands that were official ones/not counterfeit.
Similar happened here. In this case, after about 8 months the 2 retaining springs fell out, so the card wouldn't "latch" in place. At least I could put the card in and have it work but had to use a dental tool to rescue it.
It was still under the original warranty (and I did buy the 1yr extended as well-I think I'm going to be glad that I did).
B+N CS was slow and slightly clueless- but unfailingly nice. Had a "new" refurb in 5 working days.
Even if you're the second owner, you might want to call CS and run the serial # to see if there's still any warranty left. Couldn't hurt.....
Otherwise, if you're brave enough, you can try to get in there and remove the springs entirely. The card will stay in place but you will need a tool of some sort to remove it when needed.
I had the same issue, called B&N and they wanted to to take it to the closest B&N to me which is like an hour away. I kinda did something that was bad for me to do but I erased everything before attempting to install a ROM. I was able to boot into recovery but I can install stuff from the uSD. i ended up erasing the entire nook to where it boots to a screen that says
Code:
A N D R O I D _
and said something had happened and the CS finally sent me a new nook.
Thanks for all of the feedback. The Nook boots up just fine. I needed to install the old version of Marketplace so that's when I discovered that the sd card won't stay in. I had JUST used it to restore a backup and I had no problems ejecting it nor to I recall hearing anything weird or seeing anything fall out (other than the sd card). I'll try rantak's sugguestion of a piece of cardboard.
I spent 45 minutes at B&N when I first bought the NC as I wanted to register it in my name but because I couldn't contact the previous owner to deregister, B&N basically refused to help me with anything! And I felt they were looking down on me because I bought a used NC on eBay. It wasn't like I would NOT be a customer but after that . . . I'm NOT a customer any longer!!!
Mine now does this to, but if I push hard it will finally stay in place, but I'm afraid that will sooner or later cease working as a solution.
And I've rarely removed the sd card.
Mine did this in the middle of a nightly update. I had to physically hold the card in while I wiped it and restored to stock so that I could get it replaced under warranty. Called B&N on a Monday night a new refurb by Wednesday night. Great customer service!
This is why I do not recommend people put CM7 on the card and then keep swapping between stock and CM7. Eventually the slot will fail. Mine failed and I never remove the card.

I know it's an option but it would be great if you can write up a little up-to-date instructions and post in one of those HOW_TO thread such this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1303843
It would be great help for others.
I thought about that, but the how to restore to stock thread pretty well covers it other than you have to physically hold the card in during the entire process....

What do you mean by this? At first I thought you meant swapping as in taking out/putting in the sdcard all the time, but then you say mine failed and I never remove the card.
I have been running off the sdcard for a long time and only just recently (to update to 7.1) had a need to remove the card.
I could see constantly swapping the card out, but I don't see the effect of simply running off it.

I meant swapping the card in and out. In my case, it was more severe as the slot failed and I never touch the card. Just trying to emphasize the point that the slot is fragile.

Must be gone. Shows $193 now.
Perhap he means $125? There's some used/refurbs in the $120 range, a new one at that wouldnt be that unreasonable.
That's too bad though, I could definitely use a 2nd unit as a dev unit.
I'm already pushing my main one further then I'd like as I do use it for more important things.

I have made a deal trading my old Tmobile Sensation for another tablet I have left TMobile all the way. My Streak is technically available. I will know more probably Thursday when the traded tablet gets sent. I just returned the Streak back to Froyo via Giveens download. I have a 4G SD Card with it and I can.say all the rest of what ever came in the box. No scratches, I put a screen protector on from day one. Just a thought.

Nice.
You know how I was asking in another thread about getting a SIM Card slot in a WiFi Streak? Yeah, since you've got an opened up one, could you show me if it's possible to get a Sim Card slot for the WiFi?
By looking at the internals, you can see, yes it is possible. The contact points are there.

Just took a look at the pictures, looks like it will require some soldering however. Not to mention finding a SIM Card slot just for the Streak 7.

All WiFi Streaks have a dummy SIM jam in them, as there is no actual reader on the motherboard.

ouch my nexus7 it slid off my bed apparently. I didnt see how it fell, it was in a case but it didnt save it. I heard the thud, turned and feared the worse. it goes across the screen so its rather large.
its the 2012 32 gb version. Is it fixable??? most of the screen doesnt work, i can touch the notification area and it responds, but no where else, so it is basically inoperable. I google some stuff about replacing the digitizer or the screen? or both? how would i know what I need?
on another note, its the 2012 version and i could probably use an upgrade on the 2014 or whatever the new one is. But i definitely would like to repair this and get a new one. I hate having to let go of stuff like this and would like to repair it.
Check out on ebay you have to change the glass, digitizer and lcd (too risky to change the glass+digitizer) its fairly easy. You can check outr some teardown on google too and youtube. Good luck

My wife's n7 had a similar problem, but it's one of my children that stepped on it lol, it was going to cost £160 for Asus to fix it and the tablet only cost £200 brand new at the time so I just got some insurance on it from currys for £3 a month then got them to fix it lol

hmm thats a nice idea, i might find something like that locally here. well I ended up going on craigslist and looking at local ads of nexus 7, and I saw someone selling a nexus 7 16gb for $100. I emailed and asked if it was still available and how firm they were. They replied saying they can let it go for 80 if I come right now. I just returned about an hour ago with a 16gb nexus 7. I am currently in the process of rooting with a rom as my 32gb was. I still wanna fix my 32gb so I will try this idea or something similar.
Take the screen of the 16gb one and put it on the 32

Check out square trade for a warranty as well. I've heard good things about them
So this would work with square trade? The idea of getting insurance on my nexus even though it is already broken?

How is it fraud, I asked currys if they needed to see the tablet and they no because it was less than a year old they didn't ask if it had a broken screen and I've still got the insurance so there getting there money back anyway so think before accusing people of fraud

Its fraud because it was suggested above that insurance gets placed on the device AFTER there has been damage to the device. It was suggested that the insurance company wouldn't verify the condition...it's exactly what it sounds like...fraud.
