Hey guys...noob question here. Yesterday I rooted my wife's Hero and it was successful as far as I could tell. I proceeded to do a Nandroid backup via ROM Manager, but at the end of the backup it said something to the effect of "no sd-ext" or something like that.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
You may need to format your SD card....be sure to back up your files on your computer, so you can put them back on there after....

Well, not sure if it matters, but her card already has stuff on it so I'm assuming it's working correctly. Am I supposed to do something to the card prior to backing it up? Do I need to be in some sort of "mode" or check some box in an application? Sorry...still new to this phone.

Thanks for the reply! I've already tried that method as well and I get the same result.
am not sure. but i'd the same msg and when i googled some one answered that "because you do not have any app on the sd card to back up". well makes sense as before root all the apps were installed on the phone memory and not the sd card. Also after back up and restart when i go to the rom manager -> under back up and restore i am able to see the back that i created even with no sd-ext msg...
am not 100% sure but i think it did back up.. still enlighten me..
Good evening. Yes I am a n00b when it comes to Android. I have been trying to install the latest 2.2 rom from Cognition, V2.3b6. I have a Samsung Captivate. I get it to install fine except I have no phone. I get no bars and no 3G indicators. I go to status and it says I have no phone #, doesn't know network, etc. It appears it's not seeing the sim card?
I'm using Rom-Manager Clockwork mod to do the install.
Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? I have just used Odin 3 one-click to restore to factory (again) and saw I did not have a sim card installed and I've just powered down, reinstalled SIM and I get my 3G indicator and my full signal bars.
Help. I'm nervous about trying to do this again because I don't know why it is doing this. It worked on the first Samsung Captivate I had but I had to exchange it out because it had problems.
I've always believed to stop when I'm not sure what to do next.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've just restored to factory. Might re-root it and be done with it.
Are you certain you installed the SIM card correctly? I've done it a bunch of times myself.
Sim card
Yes I did. In fact, when I did the flash from 2.1 to the 2.2 the sim card was already inserted. Was I supposed to remove it first? I hadn't read anywhere about taking it out before flashing to the new rom.
You aren't suppose to flash with a SIM card inserted, or any external SD card inserted either. It won't hurt, try to flash Cognition again. Remember to use ODIN to go back to JF6 first though.

Wrong - Always have use cwm & flashed with everything inserted - never a problem except when I screwed the pooch on the TiBu & opted to restore the system files too
OP - sounds like like a bad flash, I'd re-download it & reflash. You already know you can get back with Odin, so there's no downside.

Sorry for the back and forth banter, do yourself a favor and remove sim before flashing. It does not always cause problems but has been known to cause your exact issue

Ok guys thanks.
I knew not to have the SD card inserted except when you are flashing rom. It's my understanding the SD card is used for storage. I will try flashing it without the SIM card installed and see how it goes.

Just remove all of the cards.
Thanks!
Ok. I reflashed the ROM without the SIM card inserted. I saw it recognized there was no SIM installed and now I have my cellular connection.
Thank you guys for your advice!!!
Sluggish
I do notice that the phone is sluggish now with the 2.2 rom. Geeze.
If you have not done so reboot a couple of times. The lag fix on that build usually works better after a couple boots.

Not until we have recovery, which we don't yet.
Does the Nook Color even have a normal hardware config where we would be able to flash a new ROM/Recovery into it?

You can't back up a ROM yet (even if you could, restoring a nandroid backup on a different device probably isn't going to work).
Your best better is probably backing up your data onto your SD card with Titanium Backup then restoring that on your new one.

Just install Titanium again, and as long as the same SD card is in, you can restore all your apps with it

Hi all,
First time poster; be nice please
I've recently upgraded my HTC Velocity with the CM10 and AOKP mods and both have been working great.
Prior to this, I had the ICS ROM installed which was posted by Leigh Kennedy (if memory serves).
Anyway, the issue I'm having is with both of the JB ROMs above, the SD Card is not detectable at all. When the phone boots, sometimes it will mount, sometimes it won't. When it doesn't mount, I do so manually via Settings > Storage > Mount SD Card.
It will mount successfully, and I can browse through the card via File Explorer (with Root Access), so it's definitely accessible.
However I find that any apps that require SD Card access (ie. Camera, Recording Software, Music even) say that there is no SD Card detected/inserted.
I've tried 3 different MicroSD cards (2GB, 8GB and 32GB (32GB is my main card), and completely wiped them and reformatted to FAT32), no change to the detection issue.
I've also tried to format via CWM in Recovery Mode, which shows to be successful on the format, but no change to the issue.
I initially thought it was the 32GB MicroSD card having the problem, but the same issue replicating on 2 other cards tells me otherwise.
I've completely wiped my phone clean each time (Data, System, Cache and Dalvik Cache), no change to the problem (which funnily enough doesn't make a lot of sense as I can access the SD Card in Recovery Mode perfectly fine?)
Any help with this one is greatly appreciated, as I'm at a loss
NB: My SD Card was working fine on ICS, the issue only started after upgrading to the JB ROMs above.

while the sd not being accessible on your computer is known, you should still be able to access via file browsers and other apps that need access. my camera stores to internal, and Apollo seems to find music on my external without a hitch. Unfortunately it sounds like you've done everything I would suggest, short of trying a Factory Reset

Thanks for the reply homeslice.
I just tried a Factory Reset then, and unfortunately to no avail
I'm surprised that I'm the only person with this particular issue on this phone (I've seen other posts on different handsets with a similar issue, which was deemed to be the SD Card, but in my case all 3 of the ones I've tested have fallen short of fixing the problem).
Got any other ideas? Because I love both ROMs, but the issue with the SD card is more annoying than anything.
EDIT: Ok, just reformatted everything once more, and installed the PAC-Man ROM, still broken.
Whether it's relevant or not, I even partitioned the SD Card to see whether the phone could pick it up via different apps, no chance.
Where did you partition the card and with what software...
I would recommend either using the phone or recovery...

I partitioned the SD card via CWM recovery, twice.
Still don't know what is causing it

OK, so I managed to flash TWRP Recovery successfully (couldn't do it via the Goo Manager, had to flash it manually via adb which was fine).
Sadly, the SD card issue still exists.
One thing I did notice however, with TWRP every time I tried to clear anything (Data/System/Cache/Dalvik Cache/Factory Reset), it came up 'Unable to mount emmc'.
Now I'm not entirely sure what this is, but the only time I have seen it is when loading Bootloader (as eMMC-boot).
Does this have any relevance to my current problem? CWM never used to error out like that.
NB: Having a hard time trying to find a link for download of WCX Recovery (could just be tired from work, who knows), but I'll keep trying.
I am not sure...
Can you make phone calls if your phone boots...
It sounds like you might have lost your efs partition... where your imei lives...
I am not sure how to fix...
I think there is a thread talking about it

Hmm, well the IMEI is still available via About Phone, so not sure if that's the same as what you're referring to.
However, I think I've had a development (not a good one though).
After reflashing CWM I tried mounting and/or reformatting emmc, it's unable to do anything with emmc at all.
When the recovery was TWRP, it didn't like emmc either, so something tells me emmc plus my storage issue are related.
I've done as much as I can think of, short of relocking bootloader and reflashing the RUU for the Velocity (which is currently being downloaded).
Can anyone think of anything else? Or is an RUU flash my absolute last resort?
Thanks for help so far guys, much appreciated.
EDIT: Helps if I actually answer your question rignfool.. lol. Yeah I can do absolutely anything I would normally on this phone with the custom ROM, short of apps accessing storage.
Well.. things have now taken a turn for the worst.
5% into my RUU reflash, ROM Utility crashes and now phone is stuck on an RUU bootloop....
Still trying to work it out, but I get the feeling it's not gonna go well..

Did you relock the bootloader before running the RUU? This is necessary. Also, were you last running an ICS ROM? If you were, you have an ICS boot loader and you need to run an ICS RUU. Lastly, make sure you are in Fastboot USB mode when running the RUU

Yeah, definitely made sure that bootloader was locked/relocked, as I found the RUU kept crashing when it was unlocked (couldn't read any information off the phone, and the phone auto-booted into Fastboot after relocking the bootloader in any case, as it couldn't load the OS).
And no I wasn't running an ICS ROM at the time (per my initial post of running 2 JB ROMs at different times (CM10 and AOKP)).
After a bit of perseverance I got the RUU to go through successfully, and lo and behold the SD Card issue has miraculously disappeared (which isn't overly surprising considering it's gone right back to Factory Defaults and some).
It seems the PC required the Utility to run in Realtime Priority as opposed to Normal.. lol.
I'll now look into reflashing the relevant JB ROMs and post back shortly with results.
WOOHOO! ..... I mean, yeah, it works now. lol
It seems that during the course of flashing the ROMs previously, my phone lost touch with itself; by that I mean it was unable to access it's own Internal Storage and part of it's External Storage (which seems to be part and parcel of the 'emmc' error I was receiving earlier).
Camera loads, Music loads, it all works! :victory:
Thanks for your help homeslice and rignfool, much appreciated.
Now to enjoy those ROMs to their full potential!
On a side note though, have you ever had an issue reported like this on any other handset homeslice? or rignfool for that matter?
The only time I heard of people not being able to access storage like that... was when their imei got wiped...
From what I understand its a clockwork issue

Yeah I did manage to find a working recovery image for wcxrecovery eventually, but I find TWRP a lot better to be honest (CWM and WCX are also good though).
I guess it's just personal preference.
My Nook HD just randomly reset. Yep, I turned it off to reset it and, when it came back on, it reset back to factory settings. I then had to go through the set up process all over and it seems I have lost my root. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I have a TiBu backup, but, alas, no recent nandroid. Guess I'm going back to square one.

It must have been a full reset since an update would not require a re-register. Were your media files lost too?
Probably one of your installed apps, like adaway, wrote something to /system. If you see it starting to recycle on boot, quickly turn it completely off before it goes through 8 times so you can get your card CWM card in.

All of my media is on my external card, so that was safe. It was an annoying setback, but I'm good now thanks to Titanium Backup and your great thread.
Can I do a nandroid If I just have root installed? I know I did one before--does it require the CWM boot card?

If you have root, then you have the CWM card. Unless you formatted right after flashing the root zip.
