Build dates affected by the internal sd card issue on Bell i9000M?

Hi all...
Im sure this has been covered somewhere b4 but I cannot find the info.
Does anyone know what build dates of the Bell i9000M are effected by the bad internal sd cards?
Ive been into the coded menu titled "internal version" and my build date seems to be Aug. 10th 2010 or something like that.
I have not yet had any bad experience but i also have never flashed unofficial firmwares or applied lagfix of anykind soim wondering if my phone is safe from this issue or just not been used / stressed enough to have issues.
If anyone knows this please advise.
@allgamer... You seem pretty up to speed on this. Do you know?

It has been shown in the stickied i9000m poll thread in the general section that the issue is completly random. Some have build dates from late sept, while others go all the way back to late july and everywhere in between....

i agree with Electroz
from my point of view it all comes down to usage (regular wear & tear) of the flash disks
i'm a very heavy user myself, i test every App i come across with and i keep installing/uninstalling stuff a lot yet i don't see the internal SD card issues people have posted about
on a recent fresh topic, a normal guy did not even Root the phone
had quite obviously a perfect case of dying internal SD
he was getting errors reading from the internal SD from the regular apps like gallery / astro / etc

Ya... I saw that topic as well so I am assuming that he is unfortuantely the perfect example of a Bell i9000M with an internal sd card issue.
I have never had any issues of anykind either (I dont use my phone as heavily as you though allgamer) and I hope I never have an issue but if I do I guess atleast I have the 1 year Manufacturers Warranty as well as the $7.00 per month extended Warranty that I pay for to have my phone fixed or replaced.
Im glad I diddnt cancel that option when I upgraded from my Omnia i910 to my SGS!!!
Thanks for the clarification gentlemen!!! Much appreciated!!!

speaking of an i8910 i have one of those and a regulary i9000 non M version sitting around if anyone is interested in one.

@lgkhan...
Tell me more about the i9000 u have. How much for it? Unlocked etc???

Netflix Chipmunk....GONE

Finally can watch Netflix without Alvin speaking all the parts. Could not get ES File explorer to work so I tried Root Tools. Worked like a charm. Changed the product model to HTC Vision and manufacturer to HTC. Hit save and BAM. Netflix is NICE!!!!!Worth the 1.50 I spent in market

uhh.. yeah.. there are about 7 other threads in the nook color forums that say this exact same thing. youre about 2 months late.

I'd say there are more than that. Too bad they didn't fix my issue running it from SD card. The idea actually came from Official Nook forum. Have a nice day

They didn't fix mine either, also running from sd card. I'm going to try your suggestion. Thanks.

I tried your suggestion using Root Tools, but it did not work for me. Still looking for Netflix fix for me, even though it seems everyone else has it working.

I has a Nook Tablet!

Stopped by the local REI for gear. On the way home, stopped by B&N to see when they'd have a Nook Tablet for me to play with. Manager states they have one in back....I have a geekgasm (tm), she says: "This was ordered by someone and then cancelled...so *technically* its already sold. Long story short: I just brought it home!

Ok, out for beer and then back for play.

So is the charger the same for it and the nook color?

Appears to be identical.
Front bezel is rubberized like the back - much better grip.
Speaker slightly louder, microphone hole nearly invisible.
Screen clearly better.

thats cool!
I didn't know that they were available yet.
I just got a nook color for my wife and I am in the process of reading lots before I root it.
It is going to be an xmas gift for her.
I figured I would take a little bit of time to work out all of the kinks before I give it to her...lol

What kernel version does it have?

She'll love it: my Nook Color has been awesome and its kinda sad to retire it.

Can't find any place in the stock ROM that tells me, do you know where to find it?

Will it boot from a bootable SD card?? (..at least to CWR to verify hacking will be as easy as the original)

The title of this thread cracks me up

If you go to settings there is a line to touch that displays the software info, at least that is how it works in the NC. I don't have a stock one with me to verify.

Grats on getting your NT!

CWM
try this link to create a bootable CWM sd card....worse case scenario nothing happens.

Also it be pretty cool if you found the kernel version. Could possibly help us nook color owners expedite the ICS/HC update process.

so you like the nook color more then the Kindle Fire?

Check out this post on the nook tablet forums.

No software info - closest is device info and that doesn't have it.
Software version is 1.4.0

I can't really answer that, as I've never used a Kindle Fire. I did consider both before purchasing, but the Fire lost my interest when I found out it had no microSD slot. Additionally, I *really* love my rooted NC, and the NT just adds more speedy goodness to a platform I already love.

To all that asked about SD card booting - I tried the CWM sd from my NC and the tablet completely ignored it. As it has been pointed out that CWM is built for each device, this result is unsurprising.
NOTE: despite having 16gb of on-board storage, stock ROM only allows you access to 1gb. While this will, without question, change once rooted and ROM'd, it is somewhat disappointing.

Just an update: installing other launchers and sideloading/usb debugging achieved. No luck yet with Gingerbreak or Super One-click.

So far, according to this thread from the NT forum, the Tablet appears to require a signed bootloader

What do you mean "Screen clearly better." I thought it was the same.

Rooting question

I had read through many of the root threads and for the first time rooter it is very confusing. Seems easy enough but when I go to links etc. they are not the same or broken. I would just like to be able to do a step by step so I understand the process and some of the other terms etc. that others throw out will be more understood. I have built computers and overclocked so I am should be able to walk through something this easy but apparently not. I have a 1.2 Nook Color. Didn't know if I should update to 1.4 then root or just go at it from here. I have read the nook developers site, here in the android developement section and none of them seem to actually work as the tutorial says. I have a 16GB class 10 card as well.
If anyone could give me a hand...I would sincerely appreciate it.

I would stay with BN version 1.2 and use manual nooter from there. Did you try that yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027

If you are thinking about a custom rom check out the guide in my sig otherwise I would suggest just staying on 1.2.

So if I deregister and wipe will it go back to 1.2? I wanted to run from an SD card but I thought I read Class 6 or better and now all I see is Class 2 or 4 MSDC...very confusing.
I do like the two links and are better than what I had found so far. Added in little things that seem obvious to most...and probably are.
Perhaps the issue from running off the card came from the fact I was trying to do it off 1.41 and no one has done it for that yet?
In any event thanks for the information and puts me closer than I have been thusfar.

You can run from an SD card on 1.4 but you will not get good results unless you use a Sandisk brand class 2 or 4 8GB or above.
The only thing that 1.4 doesn't have is a working MN root.

So it sounds like my struggles are just from the mSDC? That sucks...I am sure I will use it for something though.

Since I don't even have a B&N account I said screw it. Gave up on the dual boot and put the latest CM7 on there. I got the kindle app and lots of apps. It really turned out nice. Don't know why I hesitated just going with the CM7 in the first place.
In any event thanks for the help and my kid is gonna dig the Christmas gift.

[Q] [Nook HD+]Dead or dying eMMc. Directives

Hello, i've been one of those unfortunate members to own the nook with the faulty emmc. So it must be to no suprise that it gave out (on its own ; never installed 4.3). Now all my Nook gives me is the nook logo and then dies (due to lack of battery).
Anyhow I'm creating this thread mostly for those whose emmc is dead or dying. Hopefully in the comments we would have some sort of first aid kit for the case of emmc death/corruption. So my questions are as follows:
Firstly let me ask "Which rom would bring my nook back in working order?"
(I've been hearing that VG's external roms would work just fine, but in trying to use my sd loaded with the stock rom didn't work).
Secondly "is there a chance (now or in the future ) of recovering the data from the fried emmc?"
(for example folk from kindle fire's forum -that uses the same emmc part- use this method to recover: method )
Lastly "How to make use of the warranty for those outside US, any tips?"
(Living in the Uk, the replacement process has been a nightmare thus far, for the time being they refused to replace my nook because -simpy- I do not live in the US)
Thanks, and I hope this won't happen to many more.

You can do it yourself. Just edit and go to the subject line and change it.

as your emmc is dead now the only way to revive your nook is to boot from your sdcard you can look in this thread for verygreen's instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221289&page=7 :good:

Thanks, it does brinkg the Nook to a -kinda- working order. But it's a single rom (no support for CM10.2?) and it still doesn't solve the problem with the "lost" files.
Since the eMMC is merely corrupt and not really dead one ought to be able to extract the files from there and IMO that's the important part when one loses a "disk" of any sort.
Mine (my Nook) contained files of hundreds of dollars (pricier than the nook itself) and unfortunately due to an accident they are/were the only backups I have (at least they were up until my eMMc got corrupted). I've actually posted an example of how people over the KF forums do it and actually recover both the emmc and the(ir) files, I reckon sth similar ought to be possible for us too. Then again it will need real dev muscle behind such an undertaking, but given now that Nook HD+ is aging (that) we're going to get a lot more dead or dyings EMMCs I think it would be a great idea if such a tool would be developed...
Lastly I think nobody heard what's a nook's fate is if it happens to malfunction while one's residing to UK :/
...anyhow. Again thanks for the link.

I dunno bout u but my emmc is dead according to verygreen as I get the 110 error in the dmesg so I dont think recovery is an option for me ..Yes and I know about the single rom problem I have made a request in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434350 you can make one too.

Mine died two days ago. I tried everything, including an sd boot into recovery. Cwm tells me there is no emmc, I cannot reformat it.
I called b&n and should have my replacement in a few days.

Wait, you live in US right? Because merely due to living in UK B&N refused replacement to me.
If you don't live in US though, please tell me how you convinced them to replace your nook.

That's a bummer.
Fortunately for me, I am in the U.S., and all went smoothly. Funny thing is that from her accent, my guess the customer service agent was in India.
You might be able to trans-ship through someone you know and trust in the U.S. just change your address online before making the call.
