nook color running 1.2 did a hard reset on it to try and fix this problem
i ran CM7 off SD card fine for months till i did something stupid and deleted the build.prop and did not restore old one before rebooting.
sandisk class 3 4gb sd card formated in windows to fat 32 totally blan insert into nook it powers on.
now i redo all my steps i did few months back in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
insert card into nook and now nook wont power on unless i remove it wait a few seconds. no reformat it back to fat32 and insert into nook and it powers on fine.
any ideas?
so after putting in a new sd card it still refuses to boot with sd card in. could they have put some kind of preventive for booting from sd card? it boots fine if sd card is empty but soon as i put a boot img on it nada
hardware/port failure?
or can it read the sd card after you boot into vanilla nook?
i was updating a daily once and it would just sit there and always boot into nook... then i realized that my install (copy zip, boot, reboot) wasnt finishing properly and it appeared to not be booting from the sd, but it was, just that the sd contents were corrupt...
it will boot fine if the sd card is out OR if i format the card and it is empty. if i put a boot image on it nothing. first i thought it was the sd card but now ive tried it with 2 different ones and the image being wrote from 2 different card readers

After my first 8GB class 2 card starting playing up i bought a new 8GB class 6 whiched arrived this morning. I placed it into the SD card slot on my laptop and all was fine. I added the ROM's i wanted to flash to the SD and booted into recovery to flash them.
I partitioned both my SD cards using Paragon Partition Manager and now BOTH cards aren't being read by my SD card reader.
When i boot into recovery, then console and ums_enable it says windows needs to format.
When ever i try flashing a ROM i allways get the boot sceen hanging. Does anyone know any solutions onto fixing either one or both cards?
Thanks
try partitioning to fat32 within the phone and then formating using cm 1.4 recovery image
I've just managed to get it working and can get it recognised using ums_enable in console, but still ALL ROM's i install seem to just boot loop

I tried to copy a bunch of files to my sd card and it crashed during it and says that the sd card is damaged. it says it needs to be formated. but when i try to do it in hero it does nothing. How can i format it. when i try to phone just sits there and then locks up and shuts off. have to pull battery and restart.
no one has a answer. there has to be a way. i need my sd card. i dont want to have to buy a new one when i have 2 that should work.
I had a similar issue with a 1 year old 16GB card last week. Card was destroyed and I couldn't get anything off of it. The MBR was damaged and wouldn't be re-written. Had to go get a new card :-/
Tried this one:

I used my mac and disk utility to format, partition and a bunch of stuff... then i formated using my hero. it worked after that
Hey all just a quick question. When I boot to cwr from rom manager and try to install any zips it wont mount the external card so I can select my zip. Maybe a bad cwr install?
Thanks!

Was the uSD inserted before or after booting into CWR?
If before, then it should be showing up. I've had a few times, though, where the card is misaligned just enough that it's not making proper contact. If this is the case, then the uSD won't show up anywhere at all. Reinserting the card typically solves that.
If you're inserting it after you've booted into CWR, then IME, it won't mount. I don't know if that's designed behavior or not. *shrug*
In CWR, there is an option to mount sdcard. Did you try that?
I had the same problem yesterday. CWR would not see the card or let me mount it manually. When booted into Android, the card was visible. I used a different card and CWR worked just like normal. Only thing I can think of is that there are some cards that CWR doesn't like?
I had just done a fresh FAT32 format on the card that wouldn't work. It was originally named "LA_NOOK" and thinking that maybe the name was the problem, I shortened it to "NOOK" and it didn't make a difference.
Ok so I tried a different micro SD and it was fine. Thanks for the help, although I still do wonder why my 8 gig card fails and my cheapo 2 gig card works great

dame it cwr wont see my sd card
I formatted and re-imaged my nook today from 1.0.1 Rooted to stock.
I then manually updated to 2.1 for flash capability.
Now I want my Root back.
For some reason the NOOK won't boot off of the SD Card anymore, it just ignores it until it's booted and I can see the files on the SD card.
I've imaged my SD Card with multiple versions of CWM, shut off my nook, inserted the SD card and plugged in a USB cable to initiate the process.
Is it possible that it requires the "Nook" USB cable to start the boot off of SD Card process or will the cable for my Droid Incredible work as well?
It's the only thing i can think of at this point that is causing the problem.
I won't get my nook cable till tomorrow so i can't test it.
Thanks,
Turmith
You don't need the cable to boot off the sd card, all the cable does is turn the thing on.
You are probably not flashing your card right, it's not simply a matter of copying files over, there is data that needs to be put on the card that isn't part of the files you can see.
If you are using an old nooter or autonooter card, it's probably corrupted or something. You don't want to use those old rooting processes anyhow.
The rooting process is also different now than in previous releases. You should do some reading on how to make a bootable cwm card and what the new rooting process for 1.2 is.
Thanks,
I believe you are right, the sd card isn't being flashed correctly.
I tried following the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054027
Still got the issue where the nook would completely ignore the sdcard yet read it once it was booted.
So i tried formatting the sdcard with my Droid Incredible, then flashed it using windiskimger using the instructions provided in the link above.
Now when i try to boot off the card i get a blank black screen(never gets to "Read Forever" screen.
I have to remove SD Card, hold power button in(10 sec), release and then hold Power button in again(10 Sec) to get the nook to boot back into 1.2
I'm considering doing the 8 failed boot thing and seeing if it will restore 1.0.0 or something at this point.
Any suggestions?
Well that's progress ;-) at least it's trying to boot from the sd card now even if it's not succeeding.
are you using your droid as a uSD adapter for your computer, or do you have a dedicated uSD reader? that might be your problem. I'd try using a separate card reader.
You can get something like this basically anywhere for under $10. Try target/walmart/kmart/staples or like i said basically anywhere ;-)
I don't use windows for flashing but i've noticed some people saying they have luck with some programs for flashing more than others, try reading around, maybe you'll find an alternative to windiskimager that works better for you.
P.S. Formatting before flashing doesn't do anything at all. The flash should erase anything on the card and replace it exactly with the contents of the image you are flashing, regardless of whether it's freshly formatted or filled with 10 years of irreplaceable photographs
I'm not so sure it's the sdcard reader(which is internal to my Dell Laptop)
I switched from a 8gb sd card to a 2gb sd card(to make sure the SD card wasn't causing a problem) and pulled down a SD version of Nookie Froyo 2gb(to make sure CWM wasn't the issue either) just to see if i could get the thing to boot.
Same thing as occurred again.
It's become apparent that Winimage is either not doing it's job or I've somehow miss-configured the thing to not work correctly.
Winimage seems to only be writing one partition to the sdcard. In addition the Nook won't even attempt to boot off the sd card unless it's been formatted by either the nook or my droid prior to imaging. To me this indicates winimage isn't actually writing a image as much as it is copying files(and only the 1st partition at that).
Next step is to Uninstall Winimage, removing an left over configuration files and re-installing. If that doesn't work I'm going to try switching computers.
If that doesn't work then i'm going to look for a new Imaging program.
If anyone has any insight, it'd be welcome.
Well I can officially state my opinion that WinImage sucks...
I downloaded WinDiskImage and within 5 minutes I had my Nook 2.1 Rooted.
Thanks for your help.
I'm having a weird problem with a Nexus One. It had a 2GB microSD card in it that seemed to go corrupt (all the file names went crazy) so I reformatted it and it happened again within minutes. So today I bought a new 8GB microSD card and and the Nexus now gives the error of "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." It is unable to format the card, but it doesn't give an error. I tried formatting the card to FAT32 on my computer, still the phone thinks it is blank/unsupported.
I'm hoping the SD slot isn't fried... any thoughts?
You could try reformating the SD card in a computer using SDformater with erase on.
I have the same problem for a few weeks now. My phone can't seem to read the sd card at all. Thought it was the sd card so I bought a new one, but problem remains. I know both cards work (have tested them in another phone and the computer reads them). I've tried formatting the card in the phone and reformatting with erase on using SDFormatter in my computer but my phone refuses to read it. Think it might be my sd slot as well...
Currently running CM 7.1.0. Haven't tried a factory reset or flashing another ROM (how would one go about doing that with no sd card?) as I'm not too keen to lose that data if I can help it.
Did you manage to fix it?
I was not able to fix it and after many hours of troubleshooting, so I gave up. Good luck to you, and please reply if you find a solution.
