Its a error message . "Writing to a physical device can corrupt the device. Are you sure you want to continue?"
Wont let me write without corrupting the SD.

This comes because the SD card was formatted in an unrecognized way (probably exFAT). You can ignore it.

I did. Then after when i put it into my NookHD it said the SD was damaged.
I rebooted to see if CWM would boot but nothing happened.
EDIT
I formatted it back to normal and tried to write cwm and had no success.
You need to hold the power button down 10 seconds to truly turn out of for a reboot. Put the sd in when it is of the turn it back on.
Are you saying the software would not write on the second attempt?
If so- you might need to download position software to clean up you sd.

You may need to repartition the card to full size again and image it again.

You can actually use the Nook itself to format an SD card and restore it back to full size. Go to Settings > Storage Management > SD card > Erase SD Card. After it's erased, tap Unmount SD card and take the SD card out. (Or just turn off the Nook and take it out.) Put it back in your computer and try writing the CWM image again.
Also, make sure you're burning the correct CWM image for the correct device (HD or HD+) and for what you're trying to do (rooting stock or making a CM10 SD card).
Got it working. Thanks dbh369 and ikmiller.
I had to change partitions and use the RIGHT image. Feel stupid now but at least i got it working.

hi guys this is my first post on this forum although i have been browsing around for a few months. my problem is that whenever i connect my phone to my pc and mount it, the computer recognises it but whenever i try to add files to the SD card or format it, the phone disconnects and i have to mount it again. once i have mounted it, the whole process starts all over again and now im stuck in a position where i cant do anything with it.
has anyone had his problem before and is there a way to fix it or is my SD card faulty? thanks in advance.
Are you rooted? If so, what rom are you on? Just give us some specs on what you got.
no im not rooted, im on the oem android software. i was just about to format my SD card so i could start rooting it.
Is it the factory sd card? Do you got another card to try out? If not, try to format the card in the phone and then try it again to see if it still does the same thing.
yeah its a factory SD Card. itried formating it from the phone and now i can add files to the card but it still disconnects whenever i try to format it. is the card protected or something?

You cannot format it through the USB by mounting it
ok how do i do it then? should i just use a card reader? or is there another way to do it by using the phone? also thought i would add that it has started doing it when adding files to the card again.

You can put it in a card reader if you have one. I would boot into ubuntu and do it that way, also if you are in ubuntu you can do it through your phone.

The phone has an option too. Go to
Settings > SD and storage > Format Card
Since your stock G1, the other phone partitioning/formatting isnt available
ok thanks guys i formatted the SD crad uising the options on the phone, which now leaves me to my next problem. i have download the Rc7 file and placed it on he root of the card but i when i power on the phone holding down the camera phone it doesnt show the grey screen with the flashing options, it jus shows the screen which tells me the board type etc. am i doing something wrong? sorry for all the questions.

it doesnt have flashing options
press the power button (not hold, just press) and it should say that its flashing the image.
(look in the center of the screen, there should be a line of text that says something)
DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE TILL ITS DONE FLASHING
Btw just chiming in case it comes up as it did in the past. If you use Swapper app and have a swapfile image located in the fat32 area, it would cause DC issues or not connect right, back then it never hit me that the swapfile was being torn away from a system that was looking for it, which then gave me corrupt sd errors. (Granted it wasnt) but yea, just another thing to look out for to those using a image file still for swap.
Also how did your flashing go?
I just bought a used Dell Streak 7 off of eBay and I'm about to return it. But before I do, I wanted to see if anyone could help me with a problem.
EVERY TIME I reboot the tablet, it resets itself. Brings up the Android screen where I have to press on the Android then continue to setup the tablet which is very annoying. Can anyone help?
The tablet is on 2.2. T-Mobile version with the slot for SIM card and WiFi.

I downloaded the updates from the first post on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431797.
One at a time I transferred them onto the root of my SD card and changed the names to "Update.pkg", also tried "update.pkg". Then I entered recovery holding volume up and the power button. Used volume down to scroll to the option to update from SD card. Pressed power to run the update, it ran for about 30 seconds to a minute but then would come up with a FOTA name mismatch error and reboot.
I tried downloading updates from another website but I can't remember where it was exactly.
EDIT: I just tried all the PKG files at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official. Almost all of them come up with a FOTA name mismatch, even the US 4G one. The only one that doesn't come up with that error is version 336. But that one comes up with another error, "Install modem error. System will upgrade again."

I used a 32GB sdcard. I think it is a Patriot. So you mean, it should be possible to mount an external sdcard with TWRP and install from it? In the meantime I could solve it using the advanced options. There was nothing under /sdcard but the install-image under /emmc. So I copied it with TWRP to /sdcard and then thank God the installation worked after a few tries.

that message is normal, you have the roms in external sd or internal? if they are in external sd you have to search with "internal sd" option (is an error, internal sd shows you the content of external sd and sd shows you the content of internal one). make a factory reset and then try to flash one of the rom you have on your sd (if you can find them), if you want 4.1.2 rom i suggest you ivendor's one

no, is not some driver... try to format your extternal sd, then put the rom on it again, if it doesn't work try to flash another recovery , you can try this one, it is an odin package, so you can flash this the same way you flashed the other one http://d-h.st/beP

If i go to "Reformatting, tweaks and more > System Information > Browse directories and files", ill get "No files found." on a few of the directories and my /bin folder only has "init.goldfish.sh" in it. most of them have only bare minimal things in them. (im not sure if this is normal or not)
How should i go about fixing this?

4 days later, I finally have the time to have one last follow up problem. I've flashed a CM11 nightly and my external sd shows up as my main storage in settings. I can download apps but i still can't access my camera or save pictures from the internet(it tells me "no SD card , and sd card is required to download). Also tested this with the voice recorder, it wouldnt start and told me the same thing.
Is this normal with the method you gave or have i done something wrong?

I got it completely working with your advice but when i took the phone out of my pocket it was stuck on the neat kernal loading screen and rebooting it wouldnt help. I decided to flash back to stock and redo the process. I wiped all data etc. in recovery but when i went to partition the sd card again in cwm it finished instantly.
My pc wouldnt read it and even my another phone didnt detect it was there.
I'm assuming the SD card just died, its verbatim 8gig(Not sure if thats a reliable brand or not).
Could this be because i did something wrong is it just a coincidence with the sd card dying? Im buying a sandisk soon anyhow.

Was running well when this problem came after my phone crashed and restarted after using phone cam to take a pic.
So when browsing gallery,a notification kept saying "not an error (code 0) could not open the database in read/write mode"
So I realized that my internal SD became r/o.I mounted back to r/w and the notification went away.
However,everytime I take a picture,the internal SD will be back to r/o! But the strange thing is..I have set pictures taken to be saved to external SD card...
Any solutions?
Thanks!

try to install in a proper way.
Have you tried fix permissions in recovery?
Hi,
I will try to fix permissions in twrp recovery and monitor..thx for the input!
Hi,
Looks like trying to fix permissions in recovery did not help to solve this problem.
However,the internal SD reverting to read only seems to be event triggered,like taking a photo..but strangely my settings are to store photos taken into ext SD.I have searched around XDA with almost similar problems on this and saw some posts on using su commands to fix it.However,I am unsure on which command to use..can someone point me to the right one?
Thanks!

What camera app you using? Have you tried changing settings to store photos in internal memory?? Maybe to store photos on ext SD, the app prevents writing to internal SD and doesnt revert back to r/w?

I am using the default stock camera.This happened after I was taking a photo and suddenly the screen flickered and shut down(found out was bloated battery issue).Since then,every time I take a picture,the internal SD will change to r/o.

Maybe something broke when the phone suddenly died in the middle of writing to memory...have you tried reformatting your sdcard since the incident? I suggest you give it a try (after backing up, of course, formatting will wipe EVERYTHING on memory!!)

For what, formatting? Use your custom recovery (CWM, TWRP etc.), that's easiest...
You can first try a factory reset, if that doesn't solve it, go advanced and format/wipe your partitions...then flash a new ROM.
(<---Remember to thank me if this helps! :good

Personally, i would reboot into recovery, hook it up to your pc, mount your sd card, and use some real tools.
