Hi guys. I'm new one. I download Cm7 from Glitch -s them. Everything was ok until I buy memory card Patriot. My phone don't discover it, but my pc see. I try everything possible like formating, quick formatink, put in and put out memory card. Everything failed. I don't have any idea whot i must to do, to be happy cm7 user. My stock is Gingerbread JVP rooted. I'm waiting to some advice for me. Best regards

[Q] Going to root wife's nook, what do you suggest?

So we just bought a nook color and she is still new to it. Obviously, she reads lots of books and I... well, want to make this into a tab and play w/ it. She might want to do web browsing and install some games/apps, but primarily will be used as an e-reader.
What rom (if any) do you suggest I flash? Or will I be better off just rooting the device and leaving it as is (w/ market)? She has no patience for developmental stuff so looking for something stable but also something I can play with

Root the Stock and leave it. its the most stable rom.
Make your own SD card, running Nookie Froyo or CyanogenMod. When you take the card out and reboot, her machine is completely back to normal, or so I'm told. You both get to have what you want.
I can run CM from SD card w/o rooting the device!? if so... sweet, I saw sum tuts but still educating myself. Rooting and leaving stock is also a good idea, however I heard B&N is able to update your device thus losing root... Is this true?
For her, it sounds like just rooting would be the best option, since it has the market, all of the B&N features, and is stable. As mentioned above, running a ROM from the sd card is a good option for you. After rooting it, you could format the sd card used to root, and then load a ROM such as CM7, Froyo, or Honeycomb from the SD card to play with.
This way, she has her mostly stock setup, and you have your tablet setup that you can load by just popping in the sd card and rebooting. When you're done playing with it, power down, pop the sd card out, reboot, and it's back to her setup.
If you do decide to run a ROM from the sd card, make sure to get at least a class 4 (sandisk class 4 4GB works well for me). Then, if you find something that would work for both of you, you could look at flashing to internal EMMC for better speed/performance. Another option is dual-booting between ROMs, which you can find more about in the development section.

There is a thread in the dev section on how to block the updates. Here's a link to the sd card version of CM7 you asked about. You don't have to root first, but you can.

As suggested I'd root the stock software for the wife, and when you want to play choose a ROM that can run from the sdcard and you will be good to go.
Currently I run 4 different setups. Stock rooted on internal mem. Then I setup 3 different sdcards to mess around with Honeycomb, CM7, and Froyo from time to time.

You do not have to root it first. All you have to do is create a live SDcard with Clockwork ROM manager put the SDCard in and boot it up holding the n and the power button in > wipe > flash CM7.
With this device reading off the SD first you do not have "antonoot" first.
I've ran CM7, Honeycomb and a few others. My personal choice is stock rooted device is perfect.

I know! I couldn't believe it was that easy either. I'm going to add a notice to my signature. This kind of great capability should be right in people's faces..
Nookiefroyo runs great off an SD card for me.

Thanks for everyone's input...
She gonna be using it 75% of the time, so I decided to root and leave it as is. Everything works good. I tried to do nookie froyo off SD card but had too much trouble w/ adb, i'll save it for another week. But for now, stock root works good. Got Zeam and Home switcher to help both of us out
I wanted to point out the only downside of rooted stock is that she cannot use in the in-store B&N features! If she plans on using that (i've heard they have not only the hour of reading free, but also sometimes offer deals and events) then you might wanna not be rooted and use the SD card. I know this is a little late to tell you as you already did it, but I thought I'd let you know anyway.

I'll throw this in for whenever you feel like creating a bootable SD CARD to play with. I've found that higher class sd cards make a much bigger difference in how fast/well the rom operates than you might think.

Internal SD Dead?

I curently have a bell i9000M I was running Doc's JPY for a few months but decided to his JS8 version the other day. As soon as I flashed it I noticed my phone was unable to install apps and in manage applications it gets stuck on computing.
So things I have tryed to get this working again........
Flashed EZbase using re-partition , still same issue on base.
Flashed Stock JH2 , still same issue.
Flashed Stock JL2 still same issue.
Flashed JH2 then JL2 through Kies same issue.
It seems I can not write to my internel SD although the rest of my phone seems to be working fine any Ideas?
Another thing I noticed is mass storage is not working on any rom only can connect using Kies method if I want to transfer files. Format internal SD is not working , it asks if you want to format you click yes it seems like something happens but then check the internal sd and all the files are still there.
I am not familiar with the I9000M but i know its very common to have SD card failures.
And it seems to me thats whats happened, im sorry for you
best thing you can do is, flash back to stock and send off for repair, hopefully you may get some luck with the next device.
One thing before you get all emotional have a look at this, its a long shot but......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905975

Yea I was not getting any mounting errors in CWM or 2e/3e recovery...Anyway after a frustrating 3 days I now and I think it's finally working , so far.
I manually deleted all files off the internal SD, then did a format from within 3e recovery while on JL2 (this was acting like it was formatting before but all the files I downloaded were still there after the format). Then flashed Hardcore's K13 and installed a custom rom all seems fine so far but it did work periodically over these past few days so I'm hoping it stays working now.
What was weird is I could download files using the web browser but the market would not work all the time but when it did it was downloading the items but would just get stuck installing them.
Anyway thanks for the quick response. Hopefully I have this sorted out now.

Coming from Rooted 1.1

Hello, just picked up my NC. Messed around a little bit, got it to root fine, running Froyo off my SD. Want to get CM7, was thinking of going the phiremod route.
I'm a little bit confused with the CW version and ext4 compatibility. I'm just a little worried cuz I ended up in a CW boot loop when i tried flashing Froyo to internal mem. But I think its cuz i had flashed the old recovery? Anyway, got back to stock and upgraded/re-rooted.
So can i just go from Rooted 1.1 to burning a bootable clockwork 3.0.1 on to my SD card? Then flash a ROM and Gapps?
The bootable SD card thread says something about the partition needing to be ext4, which is what's freaking me out. Is there a kernel to flash before? am i skipping an entire step here?
Thanks for any feedback

Hi,
I found this post a very useful and detailed description of installing CM7 on internal
memory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11535969&postcount=151
It includes the steps for formatting required for CM7.
Don't forget that you will need a uSD for 'data' after as well as the one for installing.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Getting back to the original....

Hi all.
First of all let me use this opportunity to thank this amazing and always growing community for their help and everything else in my Android life.
Well, I have been using different ROM's recently and experimenting a lot with my device. Its been great.
To cut it short, I am looking to get my device back to it's original state.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570, rooted, with MusicRom.
I also have a 2GB SD card, which I 'separated' in order to install apps on SD.
I would like to know how can I get the SD card back to the original mode, flash a simple Android 2.3.6 rom, and unroot it.
Help is appreciated.
You can remove the partition using a partition tool like multitool wizard. You can flash gingerbread through Odin, a good tutorial can be found here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=tcki_b7j0bQ. Stock roms are unrooted by default. Click thanks if I helped.

when flashing the stock rom 2.3.6 it will unroot by it self
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255305
Both helped a lot.
I found out that the tool is named Mini Tool not Multi Tool.
I am trying to un partition my SD card now. Than I will try and flash the rom through Odin and I am all set.
Thank you both.
Just a simpler method than that one:Just move all files from SD card to your PC.After emptying SD card go to Settings >Storage>Erase SD card. Now your SD card is 1.84GB free

Question: Rooting and Cyanmod - 2.1

Hey guys! I was told to come here for help on rooting and modding my Samsung Captivate! I've been a long time member on overclock.net and I have heard nothing but good things from XDA so I thought I'd stop by for some quick questions.
What I am looking to do is mainly use the free tethering that cyanmod offers. I totally am not willing to pay ATT $30.00 a month for tethering.
I've been reading some post's on here and other places, but I would like to get your input on the best ways to do this without bricking or messing up my phone.
I apologize if there is already a sticky for this but I honestly didn't see anything I was 100% about.
I am currently running the 2.1 on my Captivate and the only thing I need to possibly back up is my contacts.
If anyone would be kind of enough to point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you,
Obzz/THEoBZ
If you are on 2.1 that is an easy place to start. If your not worried about backing up anything besides contacts, there's no real need to root before flashing cyanogenmod. If you do want to back things up such as your apps, wifi networks, etc etc I'd highly suggest rooting your device. Regardless, all you need to do is have a clockworkmod recovery zip on your SD card. Boot into recovery flash the custom recovery, then wipe data/factory reset, then flash you're desired ROM.

Oh ok! Is there anyway I can save them without a SD? Like to my computer or something?
You can use the internal SD and export it to it! then transfer to the computer. It is contacts>menu>IMport/Export>export to SD card
Or just sync your contacts through your google account that's the easiest way I find.

Alright, I went ahead and just saved them to my SIM. Question, for some reason when I try and use my internal SD it says none is available.. How do I fix this?
Also will I need a extra SD card to install cyanmod? The only instructions I can find is that way..
You won't need another SD card. The internal SD card can be used to store the cyanogenmod zip file. I'm not sure what you mean when you say the SD card cannot be found?
