I've heard that the latest CM7 has difficulties recognizing the External SD card when connected to a PC. I'm not sure if this is what you're describing?

Cm7 reads SD cards fine as long as when you install it you have froyo installed first. If you installed cm7 from eclair or Gingerbread, check the cm7 troubleshooting post for instructions.
Also remember the external SD card is mounted as emmc.

Nook Color will not boot, at all

Hi,
My NC won't book (black screen). Have tried everything to turn it on, no luck. Maybe I have a corrupt boot partition.
Does some one know how I can get a log of the internal booting, when booting to nookie froyo (to have access to adb)?
Even better, could some one dump an image of his mmcblk0p1 (adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 partition.img) and send it to me, so that I can dd it to my nook?
EDIT-----
Sorry, I've just notice this is a double post, I thought the mods had deleted my first one. Very sorry!
Thanks
Try removing the SD card then boot.
Can you connect it to the computer and have it recognized in ADB?
No. Sadly I can't.
That's why I was hoping some one could send me a dump img of the nook factory partitions. That would be great...
Did you get this to boot?

I am having the same issue with rooted NCnot booting. Im not sure what happend I think it was something to do with leaving the SD card used for rooting in and my wife had powered it off and tried to power it back on with it in.
Boot from Nookie froyo on your SD Card, and repair with boot.img. Has been explained several times on the forum. You should find explantions very quickly..

How to put MIUI on SD Card?

I bought one of those sd cards pre loaded with CM7 on eBay because I dont feel comfortable yet with the whole android modding. Other than putting in that SD Card I have done nothing to my nook, no rooting, or anything. SO, how can I put MIUI on an sd card and just pop it in like the CM7 one without any modding? Thanks!
you can boot cm7 From sd without root!?
didnt know it was Possible.

The easiets and IMHO best method is to use this. Copy your MIUI file... rename the copy adding update-cm- to the beginning of it and use it where the instructions say CM7.

Yes... since the NC is hard programmed to boot uSD first, there is NO NEED for rooting stock to boot any other ROM from uSD. Several people do this to maintain warranty while using other AOSP OS's.
cool didnt Know that. boot from sd would be great on other android too. DHD is dual booting now.

[Q] SIM card not recognized after Revolt ROM install?

I am trying to install the revolt 1.5 rom onto my revolution. Everything seems to go exactly as planned, but then it doesn't read the sim card -- i tried removing and reinserting multiple times. I go back to recovery and reload my backup to my phone and the sim card is read and works perfectly. I tried the revolt 1.4 also just in case it would make a difference. But I have the same issue on both. Anyone able to help?
Can you access files on your SD card through a file manager? I had a problem where my phone wouldn't scan my sdcard for media files so my music program would say no SD card inserted. If you can access files with a file manager, try downloading "rescan media" from the market.

well, its not the SD card that is having the problem... it sees the sd card just fine... its the SIM card -- the one that it uses to activate and get afccess to lte.... that is what is not being detected, so it just won't activate because it says no sim is inserted.
Oh, duh, sorry, can't read today. Wish I could help with that :-(
Sent from my Supercharged GingerVolt using XDA app
I am curious though, are you coming from the v6 or v7 update? I believe you need to downgrade to v4 if that's the case to use the revolt roms (someone more knowledgeable than i please confirm that).

Yeah I have the V7 update... I thought it was supposed to work... but it definitely doesn't. I went ahead and just installed the gingervolt ROM and it works perfectly. I just wish there were some more roms for this model of phone! ha ha.

Try format of your card if full wipe doesn't help. Is your card detected in recovery?
Full Wipe, formatting, flashing other 2.3 roms...nothing works
>>I tried with a 2gb sd card and it works, but I don't want to change my 8gb.
My sd card works on all 2.2 roms, but they're old already and I want to go to 2.3
Try another rom.....

[Q] HELP: SD Slot won't mount any SD CARD

Hi, so for the last two weeks i found this issue that's been killing me.
I run a P970 (Optimus Black) running always the latest NIGHTLY from CM10.1.
Two weeks ago I was updating the phone to the version "10.1-20130121-NIGHTLY" and everything went smoothly but after the reboot the phone wouldn't mount my SD card anymore. Mind you that I use a good SD CARD (Amazon Basics 16gb) and tried going into storage and mounting it from there. After several atempts such as removing battery, inserting SD and booting again I decided to check if my SD was corrupted.
IT WAS NOT! TAM DAM DAM!!!
I could access all of my files just fine from my computer.
Just to clear my mind I decided to format the SD card with SD FORMATER but it did bloody nothing.
After that, still holding on to my good manners I tried 3 other SD CARDS that I had laying around.
Nothing....
Now. It was personal.
I spent these last weeks and many aeons searching XDA and the rest of the internet for a case similar to mine and the closest I got, is a thread about a EVO 4G. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Unfortunatly, my Optimus Black refuses to play nice and still hasn't shape shifted to a EVO 4G so we could all move along.
Does anyone has come to a problem like this one? Know how to fix it?
I have already prayed to the Elder Gods and all that it brought me were these horrible, horrible nightmares.
Please, help!

Make a nandroid, flash another stock rom, do factory reset from hidden menu and try again. Then you ll see, of it is hard or software related.

Sorry if I sound confusing but I only ever had to install new roms thru the LG software and using CWM.

You should do a backup, so you can restore it if needed... although restoring it without a working cwm will be... hard to impossible i mean restoring it without being able to mount the sd card is pretty complicated... are you able to access the sd card in cwm?

I ll ask again. Are you able to access you sd card in cwm? Maybe check if the small switch next to the sd card isnt moving, if you put it in. Also check, if it works, if you put some preasure on the sd card slot. Dont yet give up on it

Hi, can you please teach me how to flash a newer version without an SD card?
Thanks
Download the latest nightly in your PC
Put your SD in your PC
Copy the file to your SD
Put your SD in your phone
Turn on your phone
When is on long press your power button
Select reboot, select reboot recovery
From there you must know the rest.

I was being incredible stupid actually. I finally managed to flash a new rom. There was some debris inside the SD Slot. I managed to open the smartphone out of its shell and remove it.
Thanks guys!
