[Q] Any one else haveign issues with there SD card "locking" - Nook Color General

on my Nook running the nightly builds it will read the SD card fine until i reboot for what ever reason. then it sees the card as full and wont do anything with it until i format the card
ATT i am flashing the latest build, just want to see if anyone else has the same issue?

Running CM7 from eMMC or SD? When you say "full", do you really mean read-only? What's the exact symptom(s)?
Rodney

ya i am running CM7 from eMMC, and now that i think about it is is like it goes in to read only mode. when i check it in settings after i get a "You don't have enough space" message, it shows the card full. but i will only have like 300mb( of the 1gb card i use) of files
could it be some type of background Vram or something, i can easily get a bigger card

[Q] SD Card Unusable?

Good Evening XDA,
Today I received a Nook Color for the holidays (yay!) and rooted it very easily with Autonooker. Now, my problem is that I formated the sd card after I got the Nook to root, but when I try to use the SD Card it only tells me that 40 MB is available (from a 2GB Card).
Is my card completely useless now, as I am afraid to put it back in my nook in so that I don't get a constant rerooting happening, or is there a way to completely remove the image and get it back to its "full" 2GB?
Thank You.
Should just have you Nook on, Nook tools/settings, SD card. Theres an unmount button, hit unmount then the format right under.
Thats what i did to mine, or just throw it back on the pc right-click format.
Actually, that worked very well.
I didn't think this through, but since I wasn't botting up the device, it wouldn't have been booting from the SD card and instead just reading from it.
Got it to work, thank you.
Same thing happened to my SD card, however I used a 8G card. Now I removed it from my nook, put it in my pc to format it and it still tells me I have only 40mgs of memory. I was going to use the 8G card for extra memory on my nook for videos and music. Guess I can't anymore unless someone can tell me how to get my 8G of storage back on my 8G sd card.
Look at camm's reply above. Put your sd back in your nook, go to settings ==> device ==> sd then hit <unmount> and then hit <Format sd>. That will put it back to 8gb

I finally figured it out. On my nook that is. Would unmount the sd card and quickly turn it over to remove it. Was wondering why I could never get the format SD card to work on the nook until I unmounted and watched the screen for the ability to format the sd card became available as an option for me to use.
Just think I am too much of a noob at all of this.
Anyways, thanks.

Nook Color internal SD card error.

I bought a NC on Friday and rooted it an tried to install Clockwork and the result was the black screen no boot. I have managed to reflash it to stock but now the system says the internal sd has an error and it won't let me format it. Funny thing is I managed to use diskpart on windows to repartition that partition while its pluggen in to usb and then the pc can read write but the nook still says the sd is bad.
Any thoughts on what I need to do to get nook to recognize the partition. Is there something else I need to do besides Fat32?
I'm having a similar problem with a Sandisk 16GB card. I can successfully burn Froyo to it, but after I load Froyo from SD, Froyo says that the card is damaged and needs to be reformatted. I tried using TE to makpart of the unused space and it doesn't accept the command. (says "makepart.sh" doesn't exist)

[Q] Honeycomb SD Portability?

Stupid question here probably.
If I set up an SD card with honeycomb's image, then install some apps on it, get google working, market working, root installed, etc, is that card going to just plug and play and work in another nook with all the config and apps, or does some of that stuff get stored on the emmc anyway when I boot from SD?
Ideally, all settings are running off SD so any config I do would be identical in another nook, but I'm not sure if, even if running off SD, some stuff happens on the emmc once I boot in.
it all goes to the SD card unless you intentionally try to write to the EMCC. If you want to verify this yourself, pop out the SD card and boot the nook, you won't find any trace of HC there

Thanks, that was my concern...That some sort of settings or apps or root or anything else I did might go to EMMC, but if it all goes to the card, that's perfect -- I want to set up a card for a pal but don't have his nook, if I can test in my nook then send the card and he's good to go, that's ideal.

SD Card problem

I have a problem with the SD card being unmounted anytime the phone tries to access it. The sd card works fine in wm6x, I installed android from the card. I've tried a 4gb sdhc and 2gb sd, froyo 2.2 and Super Froyo. I also tried the SD fix update from Scoots thread and with that the card isn't recognized at all.
What is the best build right now to try? Is there another update to install? Or is it a setting I need to change?
I'm going to try Scoots build while I wait for a reply.
It appears that the only builds that the SD card is recognized in are Scoots. I have been wondering if any others worked and haven't found on. If anyone knows of another, any input would be appreciated.
I'm using Fat Free Froyo and the SD card mounts fine. Can't install apps to it, but other than that I have no issues with it. Can't remember if I used the "SD Fix" update or not.

[Q] SD card not reading Nook HD+ Cyanogenmod 10.1

So, a few days ago verygreen uploaded his emmc cyanogenmod install for Nook HD+. I was ecstatic but only got around to installing it today. Install went great up until after flashing the rom.The nook threw an error when trying to unmount the sd card (as per verygreen's instructions) "no problem, I'll just shut down the tablet" I thought. So I do so, remove the SD card, turn the tablet back on, and insert a seperate SD card for storage. The rom loaded up just fine and everything seemed normal. I downloaded and ran a benchmark to see that everything was up to par then went to take a screenshot (to compare to other versions later). A second later I looked at my notifications bar to see a message that the screenshot could not be taken because there is no SD card. After a short investigation I realized that the SD card wasn't showing up in my storage section. It showed up just fine in my computer and I've used the card in this nook before. Just to be sure I plugged the CWM card from earlier, sure enough it didn't show up either. As I'm not a complete novice I figured I should try reflashing before coming here. I did so and the nook seemed to recognize that the card was there! Wait, it now says the card is blank or in an unsupported filesystem. Checking the SD on the computer shows it to be in Fat32, which worked in all previous Roms just fine and clicking the notification to try and format also does nothing. Anyone have any advice?
Additionally I should probably mention that I am using the 05/05 Rom, which I thought was supposed to fix mounting issues
Same issue here :/

You make it sound like you are trying to insert the SD after you have booted to CM10.1. That won't work. You must boot with the SD already inserted so that it is recognized while CM10.1 starts up.

That didn't work I'm afraid. The message about the blank SD card is gone but it still won't let me save a screenshot. Gives a message about the storage being in use. Also, attempting to move an app to the SD card says there's not enough space... On my freshly formatted 32 gigabyte card that, once again, works and reads just fine on my computer. I will mention there is a header for the SD under my storage tab in settings, and it attempts to calculate the used space of the SD, however it does that whether the card is in or not. For that reason I don't think it means anything. Any other ideas? Because I'm certainly at a loss.

How did you freshly format the card? With Windows? You need to use a program named SDFormatter free on the web.
If you boot with no card in you will see that it does not show a card under storage, does not attempt to calculate, etc. There is something about your card it does not like. The hardware on the HD+ is notoriously faulty when it comes to SDs. Format it with SDFormatter, clean the contacts, make sure it is seated well in the slot and anything else you can do to improve things.

Update
I'm a moron. I failed to notice that the rom that the I downloaded actually was the 05/04 rom, the one with no bluetooth or SD mounting... In my defense verygreen hadn't updated his post (I downloaded from the one he linked in the body of his text, not at the bottom). *Sigh* Still though, I should have been paying more attention and if I had been less lucky I could have bricked my device. Anyways, after flashing the PROPER rom SD mounting works fine (though it was a bit finicky, requiring a reboot before finally working). Anyways thanks for your time, and sorry for giving inaccurate information.
what is the sd format allowed by hd+ in emmc?
I wanted to follow up on this thread by asking a general concluding question-
In order to use the sd cards directly in emmc, will the SD cards have to be in fat32 format only? Or can it be in exfat (or even ntfs)? According to a thread, somebody put a quote from the nook website that it can handle exfat.
The reason is that I wanted my nook to be able to read mkvs. I went through the sdformatter software, and it seems that it only formats in fat32.
TIA.

I temporarily had the same issue, but mine was caused by me tampering with /system/etc/vold.fstab to test a new swap I was trying to make. I changed a setting there and it would not recognize the SD and settings/storage crashed. So that tells me that your system is definitely not mounting the SD. It could be a faulty SD slot. Are you sure you are completely clicking the SD into the slot? Did the slot work well when running stock?
Edit: How does it act when you boot with no SD inserted? Does settings crash? And what happens if you insert the SD after it is booted to CM10.1? Does settings crash then?

I have tried all of the things listed on here. My sd card is formatted fat32. it reads just fine on my computer but when inserted into my phone I can't move apps to it, I can't open it to look at my files. I even tried removing everything from the sd and starting over. This has only been since I upgraded to cyanogenmod 10.1. any suggestions? I really want to move some stuff and am in need of my music files at the gym

You cannot move apps to SD with CM10.1. Apps2SD is not implemented.
And to access your external SD, you need to look in ext_sdcard. But CM10.1 on emmc uses the internal SD by default for everything. You can change that by flashing my swap SD zip from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. See item 4.

it isn't showing up when I go to unzip on my phone.
This has proven to mean this isn't compatible with my phone. is there another version you can suggest for me to try?

It is a Nook HD+ rom, and will not work on a non-Nook HD+ device. Try the roms in the Galaxy Exhibit development forum.
If This Helps Anyone...
I spent roughly 4 to 5 days' worth of working hours sitting here at my laptop, trying more and more frustratingly, to get my Nook HD+ to take the new CM Rom, and then dealt with about a dozen full 1080p HD movies I had already spent about 3 hours each to convert to .mp4 and the right size for my Nook, which now was not showing ANY of the content on my 32g SD card. Well, I tried all the formatting (using the SDformatter program), all the re-booting and putting the content directly on it through the Nook, and putting the files on it through my laptop, and I got nothing.
Finally, after noticing a theme among most of the users who were having problems specifically with SanDisk and/or 32gb sized cards, I took the awesome (and expensive) 64gb class 10 SDXC Samsung card out of my Note 2 phone, and formatted that one using the SDF program, and put it on 'exFAT', and after putting the blank card back in my Nook (powering it off fully first), I had to COPY THE FOLDER FROM THE NOOK'S MAIN STORAGE CALLED "MY FILES" AND PASTE IT INTO THE SD CARD STORAGE. Then, I opened it and made folders inside that one for Movies, Music, eBooks, etc... I then loaded the movies onto it via the Nook itself, making sure to paste the files into the SD folder. I also noticed that I needed to keep the Nook from falling asleep, and set it to the highest setting of time before it would go into sleep mode (30 min) and had to keep swiping the screen to reset that time. I also just loaded one large movie file or a few smaller video files at a time, because if the screen went off, or if I had videos loading onto the Nook for more than a couple minutes, then I would get the frequently reported error saying that it 'could not copy'.
After doing all of this, I was finally able to start a couple of my movies with minor problems. I hate how it says in the video player I was using, that you have to use the right side touchscreen to swipe on an invisible volume control up or down, and it was extremely sensitive but also not easy to control.
So, to review:
-Try using a different card other than SanDisk and 32gb
-DL the free SDformatter program and use that to format ANY card you put in your CM rooted Nook! Try to set it at 'exFAT' also.
-Power OFF the Nook before installing the new SD card.
-Then plug the Nook into your computer, and COPY-PASTE the file folder "My Files" in the Nook's MAIN STORAGE and put it into the SD card. Make folders inside this one to sort your movies, music, books, etc.
-Copy-Paste your files that are NOT eBooks from your computer into the new 'My Files' on the SD card. (I suggest using Calibre or another program to load eBooks into your Nook after you have gotten all the metadata correct for each book.) Keep the Nook 'awake' and do not allow the screen to enter sleep mode during loading of files. Make sure to load only about 3 minutes' worth, or no more than one LARGE movie file at a time onto the Nook, to prevent it from disconnecting and giving you an error pop-up.
That should do it, and if you have problems after this, then maybe ask around more. I only know how this works by my own extensive (and exhausting) trial and error...
