I just flashed serendipity 6.4 and it runs very very well. However since flashing, my pc has not recognized my internal SD card. The external sd card immediately pops up when connected. I can't access it from my pc at all, but when just on my phone, I can browse the file in astro. I already tried changing the it to mass storage in the usb settings. Any tips?
Check to make sure its mounted.
Settings>sd card and storage> internal sd
Thats the only thing I got.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If the above doesn't work, go into recovery and try and mount SD cards from there and see what it does. If it still doesnt mount flash to stock and get it warranty replaced
Im gonna try flashing back to stock and see if it recognizes. It should... hopefully. thanks
Next time, post in the ROM-specific sticky if your question is related to a certain ROM.
HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.
I followed this guide, not only did it not work, but when I used the windows32 utility to install the sd card as a boot device it made my sd card only have 117 mbs capacity. can I do anything to get it back? I have modded several Wiis, a PS2, and a couple PSPs all were easy, the nook color is the one that has caused me problems.

Which guide? (I don't see a link)
If you are using verygreen's size-agnostic SD install image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
- You will only see the first partition if you are using a Windows PC. Verygreen's SD install image will show only 115ish MB for that partition. It actually expands to fill the rest of the SD card as blank storage, but you can only see that using a) special software like Easeus Partition Manager b) *while in stock or CM7* hooking up your Nook to your PC in USB storage mode.
- That first (boot) partition is large enough to hold the CM7 install zip + the gapps zip file, which are the two things you need to complete CM7 installation on the SD card.
Please update if you are using a different image or method than what I've written above
Thanks Angomy, yeah I was using the one you are talking about. OK, so I guess that went well. I cant post links since I am new
After I installed I put the other two files on the root of my sd card and put it in my nook color, it did the andriod installer and installed and turned off. When I turned it back on, it just went to the original barnes and noble firmware. I don't know why it didn't load andriod.
Edit: here is the guide I used from kylebenson .com
edit 2: So I connected my nook with the sd card to my PC and I see boot (E) with 117 MB and mynookcolor (F) with 1 GB of storage. I used an 8 GB card and my nook color is also 8 GB anyone know what happened?
Download EaseUs Partition Manager (free) and use it to stretch out the partition to recover the unformatted space.
so I downloaded Easus Partition Master Home Edition and I am not still not seeing my sd card. I see my internal hard drive with both of the partitions, but not the sc card. I also wanted to add I had a very hard time getting the win32 to work initially, at first it kept saying not enough space, so I downloaded another version winima85 and I
opened as administrator
Selected Disk from the menu
selected “Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image…”.
Selected SDCard from the list and clicked OK.
In the Open dialog box selected “All Files” in the lower right file type box,
browse to gerneric-sdcard-v1.3.img, and clicked write
Also wanted to point out that, I am using a micro to sd card adapter and loading through my computers sd card reader not through the usb
I downloaded Paragon Partition Manager and I can see the sd card, should I choose to delete the partitions or resize? I figure it would be best to start over
So I decided to go ahead and delete those other partitions and now my card is unreadable . It can be seen using paragon and it shows two partitions, one that has linux on it and the other that has nothing on it. When I ran paragon it was saying something about if you are using linux you will need to reinit. Don't know what this meant any suggestions?

There have been several reports that this can lead to problems. Much better to use a real USB card adapter and start again. If you use the evergreen method then after the first image is written then it is 100 MB but after it is booted on the Nook then it will create other partitions using up all the space available on the card.
If you ever plug it back in then you will see just the first 100MB partition but if you USB connect the Nook then it will see the big media partition left over for user storage.
For OP, using either USEASE or MiniTool to reclaim all 8GB of your uSD card then redo the whole thing.
For others, why on earth you guys suggested him/her to resize the partition in first place. It is absolutely NO NEED to.

Oh, btw, OP, pls do use Windows, you won't have a lot of support from Linux.

I did not suggest resizing the partitions, so please watch who you're painting with your brush. From what he said about seeing only a ~100MB partition, it sounded like he was only able to see the boot partition, so I suggested Easeus as a means to *set the visible partition in Windows*.
Also, using a built-in card reader has for many people caused issues with the SD image burn to card. It's been documented several times here and if the OP continues to have problems he should try a USB reader instead. Someone I recently spoke to in verygreen's thread solved his booting issues with the SD image by switching to a USB card reader. I myself have never had a successful burn via built-in card reader on my laptop -- it seems to burn fine but there's oddities in size, problems reading, etc etc.
As with all things YMMV. And, RTFM.
do a search on the web for a app called sdformater. this will restore your sccard back to 8gb. rewrite the image back to the card. copy the android image (do not put g-apps in at this time) to the sd card, put in card nook color and turn it on. it should create the other partisions that are needed, expand the android os and shut off. reboot the nook, and it should boot into android. if it dose not boot or boots with errors get a new card or try a usb card reader, (sandisk-class 4 cards are the only ones that have worked for me to use), if it boots in ok setup wifi, shut down and put the card back into the pc and now copy g-apps to the card and boot into recovery by holding down the N key while turning on the nook, I watch for the sceen flash and then release the power buton but keep holding down the n key until you see loading menu. using the n key and the volume buttons to select boot sd (top line) and recovery (second line) and then boot. it should now install g-apps and shut down. restart the nook and complete the setup.
yes, finally got it to work! I think having gapps on their before is what cause the problem. I installed cm7 instead of nightly, but may change depending if nightly adds more. Thanks everyone

I dunno - most of my Nook hacks have been done off a ThinkPad running Ubuntu... Once you get the hang of the command-line commands, it's not that hard - and gparted actually is decently easy to use.
Hello all, I have problem with booting my unit with microsd in GPS slot. I tried to change microsd card, format it, I tried to change ROM - with android 4.4.4 and android 5.1 . But still the same. I tried wipe data in recovery and still the same.
Could anybody help me please?
Regards,
Jiri
I tried to change a few ROMS and still the same.... if is slot called "GPS card" empty, I can turn on, reboot, all is working fine, but if is slot with card, I cannot turn on radio - back camera is not working too, so I think radio is off, I cannot restart... only remove it and start without microsd card.
Regards,
Jiri

Is it an empty card? Have you tried different cards?

Yes, different cards, formated, full or empty, I tried to format them in android radio too and still the same. Of course I can read and write on these cards without problem...but is necessary before starting unit or restart unit to remove for a while card, after display is on, I can insert card into slot......
Same problem here. I receive this message if I remove SD then boot. "E: cant mount /mnt/external_sd".
If I have an SD card in then try to boot I get simply a black screen. If I boot with it out, all normal. However the unit forgets radio presets and Bluetooth device that was last connected. Once the unit is booted I can insert SD card and mount it no problem.
Also if I re-flash to kitkat 4.4.4 I can not boot with SD card in though my radio presents and Bluetooth device are saved.
Problem started after an attempt to flash fusion 5.1.1 with a modified parameter file ( to change ram from 1gb to 2gb ). Came across this on a thread and realize now that it was not compatible.
Its like the Unit is looking to boot from SD on start up. Is there a way to change that??
Yes, I have fixed it... very importat is check the mircosd card , not in Windows, but via for example partion magic...she looked like botable, so I removed it in pqmagic , create new partion, primary, inserted it into radio and radio started without problem..... so my problem was that I tried to format microsd card in Windows only.

Can you tell us what you did to get it to work

He cleaned all partitions off the sdcard and reformatted. Appears he may have had a partition which the HU saw as bootable. These devices will try to boot from the SDcard if a bootable card is found.
I'm using TWRP with Magisk and I do a regular backup of my whole phone using TWRP, but I've noticed that on restore I seem to have lost data, which I believe corresponds to whatever was on my SD card. My SD is also formatted as internal storage in Android settings. Usually I need to reinstall a few apps that have gone missing and some associated data and files.
I recognize this is a newb/basic question, but what can I do to avoid this? TWRP seems to allow me to backup two separate "data" partitions, which I would have guessed would have been true internal + SD. But it doesn't seem to work that way.
I also use SD card as internal and TWRP doesn't recognize it

I also use SD card as internal and TWRP doesn't recognize it , so can't use SD to backup or flash zips on it .
TWRP react weird to SD internel
