I tried searching but didn't find anything with the exact problem.
I had the HC-Hybrid installed to try out so I don't know if that has something to do with it or not.
I was trying to clean up my SD card afterwards and reinstall CM7. Now, if I turn on my Nook with the SDCard in the slot, it gets stuck on the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen. That's even if I try to boot into CWM. Once I take out the SDCard everything boots fine. Did I delete something on the SDCard that I shouldn't? How can I fix this?
thanks for the help

Hello all,
Trying to restore my sd card to working order and im kinda stumped.Ive googled the problem and cant seem to get anything to work.
This happened after flashing cm6 blue rom and this was the first rom ive ever flashed. I used the universal androot method to root and rom manager to flash the rom. The rom works beautifully and I was able to go into recovery and flash ggaps even though phone isnt mounting to sd card.When I go to sd card in settings and click mount it say preparing sd card and then reverts back to safe to remove sd card. Any help would be great! thanks
Take the card out and Wen ur phone is on pull the battey out wait a few min reboot the phone back up with out then repeat this again this time wen the battery is out put the SD card back in reboot in recovery the home and power button way then wipe file ext and reboot might work might not worth a try

Do you have a SD card reader in your PC? Have you tried taking the SD card out of your phone, putting it into your PC, and formatting it? Copy everything that's on it to your desktop first, then format it, then recopy the files back to the card after the format. Then try putting it back in your phone. That may solve your problem.
Also , if you're recovery is reading it to flash gapps, then it may be the rom install. If all else fails, try a compete wipe and reflash

Thanks again!
Its All fixed! The formating took care of it. Thank you guys for the help
How do you access clockwork recovery on the nook? Does the 3 button combo work? Is it different if you are running a rom off of the sd than if it's run directly off of the nook?
You have two options:
If you're booted up you can go to the Rom Manage app and select Reboot In Recovery Mode.
Or you can shut down by pressing power button and then on screen shut down button.
When your NC is completely off press and hold Power and 'n' button simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
It took me two hours of searching to find this answer. Hopefully this thread will come up in search results
Thank you, I was wondering this also.
neither method seems to work for me unfortunately. Both just end up booting normally.
Are you sure you installed CWM? From RomManager you need to select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Also, I'm not sure how having an active system on an SD card will affect this process. Are you booting from eMMC or SD?
I don't mean to thread steal (hopefully i am just providing more useful information if my question/problem is answered).
When I boot into clockwork, i get can't mount SD card. Therefore can't install any themes as the themes are on the SD card, is there something I am doing wrong? I think I reformatted my SD card to be fat32 and not NTFS, does this matter? It seems to be able to read off the SD card when I am fully booted up.
TIA

Different problem. Reformat in NTFS and try again.

I was having the same issue after flashing the eMMC install for Honeycomb from the dev forums. I ended up going back to CM7 but when I tried to install the new Clockwork Recovery (3.0.1.0) using the manual method it wouldn't work and just kept booting strait to CM7.
To fix it I first restored the stock boot img from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919353
After that I put in my bootable SD card and flashed the cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971197
That fixed my boot issues and got recovery working, after that I could flash the image I wanted using a non-SD recovery.
Before doing any of that it would probably be a good idea to toss in a bootable SD card and doing a backup.
So I installed CM9 on my TouchPad, Alpha 0.6. It's been running fine for close to two weeks. I went to turn it on after it had been sitting and charging (it was at no lower than 60% when I hooked it up), and it wouldn't turn on. I tried all combinations of holding down the various buttons nothing worked. Then, out of the blue, while trying to figure out that problem, it held down power and it turned on.
So it started booting into ICS, but instead of the home screen, it said that the encryption failed or something, and that I had to do a factory reset. I booted into CWM, and tried everything, including re-installing from zip, installing Alpha 2 from the zip, wiping the SD card, doing a factory reset...everything. Every time, I go back into the SD card and all the folders are still there. That's making me think that the SD card was locked by ICS somehow, and now isn't letting go, and as such, nothing can wipe the system.
Any ideas for a fix to this? I love CM9 on the TouchPad, but...this sucks.
Wow, nothing, eh? I've tried everything I can think of; the tablet is getting stuck at 12% when I try to run WebOS Doctor (and yes, I've tried every "stuck at 12%" trick I could find), and in general, it appears that writing to any part of the device is locked. I guess I'm going to warranty return it back to HP, unless anyone can think of something brilliant.
Can you boot to webos, maybe if you take the sd card out? If you can, do a full secure factory reset. Also try formatting the sd card (backup your files to your PC). You should try with another sd card also . If these don't work I guess HP warranty is the way to go. Take the sd card out before you send it back. Good luck.
Thanks for replying.
Yeah, I can boot into WebOS, but any changes I make there don't keep (i.e. if I install an app and reboot, it's gone when I get back). There isn't actually an SD card in the TouchPad, the internal memory just gets partitioned and made into an "SD Card", so that's out.
Probably just going to have to send it back...
Duhh! I knew about the sd card and the TP, I was thinking about my cell phone.
Try calling HP's butler service. I've been lucky, the guy I talked to was knowledgeable, but I've read that you can get someone who's useless.
After every time I restart my phone and it turns back on my phone will never automatically mount my sd card, so I have to go into setting and manually mount it myself which normally isn't a problem but every once in a while my phone won't let me mount it, when i click on the mount sd card button, it goes to another screen that has a title Reset? and the whole screen is blank. I have reset the phone, taken the sd card out, I have done everything that has normally worked in the past to get it to remount but this time nothing will work. Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions how to fix it?
Thanks
Same problem here

Sorry, no help for you, but I have the same problem here. Started just a few days ago. I haven't made any changes to my settings that I know of that could have caused it. Anyone have any suggestions for getting back the ability to mount the SD card?
Yup, me too, just rooted my phone trying to get cifs manager (cifs.ko) installed and working with my win7 machine (no luck w/that yet either)... since then the external sdcard unmounts from time to time and restarting the phone requires a manual mount
Fixed?
What I had to do was basically move my entire sd card on to my computer then I formatted my sd card put only my necessary things back on there and it fixed it, stupid but it got it to mount right away...oh and I formatted it though the phone erase function not using the computer, so I didn't have to take the sd card out again.
Tried the erase all, but no luck... I suspect it's related to installing busybox... tried unistalling that without success too... would installing another ROM likely fix that, and if so any recommendations?
Talking about an HTC vivid
I'm having the same issue, except it partially mounts the external card (only shows a couple of folders but not the /music folder with 2100 songs along with 4-5 other folders)...Only way I have been able to fix it is to connect it to the PC as a disk drive then disconnect it, then all the folders "reappear".
If I put the card in my tablet I have no issues.
I tried a new card but the problem is still there.
Any help or suggestions?

Good Evening OP,
I had a problem like this earlier today. I finally rooted and flashed a new rom (PACman). I used CWM as my recovery, and apparently this is part of the issue. You need to use TWRP for your recovery instead. Their website is at http://teamw.in/project/twrp they have instructions located there on how to install TWRP onto your Vivid. I used the fastboot method, then changed the settings in the 'Mount' tab to mount SD Cart, Internal and Use External SD. Worked like a charm. And since it's touch based no more using the volume rockers and power button... Hope this helps! By the way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109140 had the initial lead to install TWRP instead of CWM.
So yesterday I grabbed a copy of OpenRecovery from the cyanogenmod4android Google Code page and unzipped it, threw it onto my Milestone's SD card, rebooted into recovery.
It restarted when the bootloader (or whatever) finished loading the update.zip. I thought it was a bad .zip, and so I re-downloaded, and unzipped it to the SD card. Nothing changed.
I decided "Meh, use now, fiddle later." and let it reboot, sat it down and went back to looking up things to do with my HTC G2.
A minute or so goes by and I notice it hasn't done its normal boot-up vibration. (It's always done that. Pretty sure it's the "Checking SD card for errors" notification.) I pick it up and see that it's rebooting after about 3 seconds at the Motorola logo. What happened? D:
Use this recovery, it's the most advanced one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091787
Download the "Minimod V0.23.zip" and extract it to your SD card.
You should then have a folder called "OpenRecovery" and the "update.zip" file in the root directory of your SD card.
Do not unzip the "update.zip"
Furthermore you need to flash a vulnerable recovery first.
It's all in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698059
If your phone is stuck in a bootloop then I honestly don't know how that could have happened.
If there's no important data on the phone you could try factory resetting it.
If this doesn't help you'll have to reflash the ROM.
Guess I should've come back sooner...

Well, I powered it on a few more times, and it booted. Works normally apart from the OR issue. I already flashed the vulnerability from the guy who maintains(ed?) the Google Code page, and I've used the same OpenRecovery before, only that was with a different SD card. (Which I formatted and stuck in my HTC Vision without backing up, being an idiot)
I'll try out this one you linked me, and see what happens.
You can also try formatting that new SD card with the SD Formatter tool (link's in my signature)
