Did you try flashing stock kk4 without bootloaders? If so, did you boot it up to test your sd?

hello had the same issue, and found out that its an issue on the sdcard itself, you will need to reformat it, unfortunately,

What I did is since it seems the sd card is not being recognized, I was told from help support that I need to reformat it.
I was able to back up the contents to my laptop then reformat it. tried the process again and it the sd card mounted after I reformat it.

Changing size of SD Card

Hello,
i am running either CM7 or MIUI on my Nook.
however i bought an increased size sd card now, and i transferred whatever i had to my new card. But i cannot enter into recovery to update the ROMS.
Any ideas what should i do to correct this?
Thanks
Definitely there's a way to do it, in fact, someone had reported doing it by cloning the old uSD. Some others said of using some sort of tools.
I'll post the link if I stumble across once again.

[Q] format system, n7000 confused

It takes me twice as long to grasp it.. Heres my deal I have the N7000 and have just flashed rocketromJBv2 runs great.. in reading the install notes I did not see where many are talking format system, all I have is delvick, wipe/userdata/, wipe cache, am I missing something or when there talking format are they meaning the wipe/userdata thanks...

For clarification and if I'm understanding correctly, This is formatting the internal memory card. so one does this while they still have access to the phone, and its the only time u can do it while the phone is operating. or can it be done in cwm.?? thanks
just the part where the rom is installed and not the entire internal memory.
The option is there in cwm

SD Card not booting CM 10.1 install

I have an Nook HD+ that will not boot up in to the CWM recovery screen after setting up the SD card. I set up another one (8gb PNY Class 10) and that card works fine in two different Nooks. Now I bought a Samsung 32gb Class 10 card and it will not boot when set up the exact same way. Anyone know if I am doing something wrong with the larger SD card? Thank you

What do you mean after setting up? You mean after burning it? Some specific devices are hard to get them to boot to SD. I have two and the first boots fine the first time. My other one takes many, many attempts to boot the same card.

After using Win32 Disk Imager and writing the img file to the SD card. I have tried re burning it multiple times and rebooting it many times. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or maybe one of my readers doesnt work well with the card?

If the card boots on another HD+, you did it right. But if it has never booted, you could have something not right. Bad adapter (you should not be using your built in PC card reader, user an external reader), not using administrator mode running the software, maybe the specific card. It is sometimes difficult to get it burned so that it will boot, and then sometimes the specific device is just hard to boot.

Having had a similar problem yesterday using an old version of disk imager, I'd recommend down loading the version from leapinlar's post which solved my problem straight away. I couldn't discern any difference between the data actually on the card but it worked, so worth a try. I was using a Sandisk 8gb class 4 card which is usually the card recommended. Hope this helps.

Mind if I ask another quick q about memory cards? I got a pny 8 gig card especially to burn this image. When I burnednit last last nihht using win32image, it showed up as only 115 megabytes in size. There wasnt even room to transfer the other images.
Has this ever happened before to anyone?
Very strange. Can I rescue the card?

It is not strange, it is the way it is supposed to be. After it boots, it repartitions the card so it can be used for running CM. You are not supposed to be copying the ROM zips there.
Edit: I have an easy install guide for putting CM10/10.1 on SD linked in my signature. Maybe that will help you.

Are you wanting to root stock or put a custom rooted rom on it? Both are easy if you know what you want.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
Preferably both leap but mainly cm. I think my prob is that im using my laptop sd card slot to write my bootabe sdcard. Is there any way to avoid usng an sdcard completely as per most phones?
Ill buy a cheap usb adapter anyway. Any should work right?

There is no way to root stock or install a custom rom without a bootable SD.
If you want to root stock, the easiest way is to make a bootable CWM SD per my new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
If you want to replace stock on internal memory with CM10.1, then use that CWM SD to flash verygreen's emmc version of CM10.1 from his thread.
If you want just to add an SD version of CM10.1 and not replace stock, go to my HD+ Hybrid thread also linked in my signature.
And when you get a USB card reader, try to get one that will read a micro SD without an adapter.

Just booted to Cyanogenmod there from sd card. Happy with that...
But ive not backed up the original B&N firmware. Any help doing that appreciated...
As i say it wouldnt allow me mount /system.
Is that because ive not rooted it yet?
Is running cm10 from the external sd card slower than from the internal memory?

That CWM will only let you backup the sdcard installation, not stock internal. And it won't even do that until you install it.
If you want to modify or backup stock see my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature.
And it is slow and awful because you have a slow SD. Use my Hybrid SD setup to improve things. See the link also in my signature.
You can also replace stock with CM10.1 on internal. Use my CWM for stock in the second paragraph above to do that. And flash verygreen's emmc version of CM10.1.
Edit: I guess I said all that in my post above.

Because that is where i got that cm image from, and it wouldnt let me back up stock.
I basically want to backup stock (so i can roll back eventually) and then format the internal drive and put cm 10 on it forever.
Sorry, this is as frustrating for me as you. All these threads and images are almost the same name, and it gets very confusing. It may seem like its all simple and straight forward but there is no clear, straight forward guide anywhere here. There should be a sticky or youtube maybe. Or else im just stupid... But ive read lots of frustrated posts of noobies like me... Its not this hard for any other device!

Apps Failing to Update Due to "Insufficient Storage Space"

Hey all,
I have a 32 gig Verizon Developer Edition Moto X with an unlocked bootloader. I am currently running the stock ROM but this issue has persisted across multiple ROMs. Dropbox and Google Translate will not update, giving a "Insufficient Storage Available" error message. I have over 3 gigs available on my internal storage and went through and un-installed a bunch of apps I don't use, to the point of uninstalling twice as many megs-worth of apps as what DB and GTrans require. What the hell could be causing this?
I tried uninstalling Dropbox to see if I could get it re-installed without issue, but now it just flat out won't install due to supposed storage space issues. Has anyone else experienced this? Googling the issue doesn't return any results, but I can't be the only person experiencing this can I?
Thanks.

What recovery are you using? I recomend Philz. If you find no better solution. Backup all partitions then test the restore. Just restore what you just backed up. Then wipe data & data media. Then restore again.

Try backing up your SD contents first. Then flash Philz (.zip) from your twrp. You can flash them as needed, back & forth, just reboot recovery.
Philz will do twrp format backup too.
Make a full backup with Philz as custom as you like. Test out your backup. Just restore what you backed up.
You then want to format data & data media.
Then restore.
You could make a Philz custom bu that includes SD (data/media) too but put it on otg. It will self mount when the OTG cable in present.

i'm super confused at the level of effort you're explaining based on the problem at hand. The error is two-fold; you have stale files from old/failed installs and/or you're out of memory.
Keep in mind that Android uses your available space for RAM, so if you have memory intensive applications, there's a possibility of running in to this issue.
Easiest of course is to delete your videos/pics - they take the most amount of space.
