Nook HD 10.2.1 Can't access external SD - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
It's my first post here.
I have a Nook HD rooted with 10.2.1. We I rooted the Nook, I made an external copy to the PC of the stock rom.
All was OK, until I tried to upgrade to cmw 11.
It gave me an Status 7 error and was imposible to upgrade.
Then I went back to the 10.2.1, but now the external SD Card is not mounted. I can't format it from the Recovery menu.
I can't read it from the Nook. I tried 3 different SD cards, but always the same.
The recovery CMW is 6.0.3.6.
When I try to format the SD card from it, it says "Error mounting /external_SD!"
When I enter the Nook in normal mode, the SD Card can not be activated. It detects the SD Card, bau can't do anything.
¿Any idea or help?
Thx!!
UPDATE: I have boot into normal mode, downloaded de Recovery CWM-5 (Recovery 6.0.4.6), and installed it from the internal memory.
After that, I succeeded on installing the CM11-M6, but still the same issue.
Can't activate/access/mount/format the SD Card, from the Android "Activate card" or from the recovery menu "Format" or "mount".
I also formatted it with SDFormatter, but nothing changes.
The SD card it's ok, as I can write/read from the PC.
I have 3 of them: Samsung, Sandisk and Trascend. None of them is recognized, and before I had no problems with them and CM 10.1

Well,
I think is finished!
I had a problem with Google apps, and installed them again, but I had at the internal memory the 4.3 GApps, and I didn't take care of the version!.
Instead of the correct GApps for the 4.4, I installed the previous one.
After installing them, I always have now "unfortunately, Android Keyboard (Aosp) Has Stopped"
So I have no keyboard!!!!
As I can't use the external SD (It doesn't work), I tried to download from the CM11 Nook the correct GApps version, but I have not keyboard to write the internet address!!! I can not indeed write the wifi password!
I have then tried to install ADB, but I can not see the Nook under "adb devices".
I'm in the point of sending the nook to the recycled bin!
Any idea of an easy solution?
Many thanks!

Dang lots of trouble. I would suggest just sticking with CM 10.2.1 for now.

Hello,
That's what I want, to go back to 10.2.1.
But the Recovery 6.0.4.6 dos not permit to install the 10.2.1, only 11.
I would like to download to the internal memory the Recovery 4 (6.0.3.6), but as I don't have keyboard (wrong GApps installed), can't write the web address. And the external SD card doesn't work too.
The only solution I see is ADB, but when I plug the Nook HD to the PC, nothing happens. There is no change in the Management console of Administration Devices....
Don't know really what to do.!

Did you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and make a bootable CWM SD per item 1a there? If you did, what are the results?
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app

Thank you for your response.
I did what you said, making a bootable CWM as your 1a tip, but nothing happens.
The external SD card is like death.
The Nook boots on the normal CM11 mode, and never on the Card Boot mode.
But I have made some new advancement:
I realized that I can connect the Nook and the computer through Bluetooth!
So I sent to the Nook the correct GApps for the CM11, and reboot in recovery mode, installed it from the internal memory, and now I have keyboard again.
The situation now: I have the CM11-M6 installed, Recovery 6.0.4.6 and GApps gapps-kk-20140105.
But, the external SD card doesn't work. The Nook detects it, but can not activate it.
If I enter the Recovery mode, you can´t mount or format the SD card.
I have saved at the PC the Nook Stock Backup I made before rooting the Nook.
If I copy that folder to the internal memory and make a Restore BackUp, do you think that the SD card problem should be fixed?
May be the SD card problem is related to the Nook partitions. I read something about that but don't remember where. But don't really now if the Restore Stock is going to fix the partitions.
I don't want to make another step without consulting you!
Thanks!

I doubt it is a partition problem causing the SD read issue. But getting back to stock may help. It could just be a glitch with CM11. You might also try cleaning the SD contacts and blowing out the slot with air.

Thanks again.
I tried three different cards from 3 brands. They all work perfectly at the computer, but not on the Nook!
I've not tried to blow air in the slot... i'll do it
I think, if that doesn't work, i'll try to go to the Stock Backup.

How can I restore the saved backup?
I have copied the backup folder yo the internal memory. After I boot into recovery. I choose Restore, but directly it says that there is no file.
Is there any special way of restoring the stock backup without using the sd card?

Yes it has to be put in a special place for CWM to see it. CM and CWM use different spots for the backups. CM uses /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup and CWM uses /data/media/clockworkmod/backup. Notice the extra 0 folder. You will have to use your root file manager to be able to put the backup in the correct location so CWM can find it.

I have no success!
As I'm using CWM, I have to place the files at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/.
I have some questions (I've tried all possibilities, but without success)
1. I have a saved backup folder (named with the date I made the backup) with .tar archives, etc. Do I have to place at the clockworkmod/backup the .tar files directly or the backup saved folder?
2. I can't find the /data/media/clockworkmod/backup folder.
I have a clockworkmod folder at /storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod. It seems to be the same as /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod.
That clockworkmod folder is at the sdcard folder, with other folder as Alarms, Android, DCIM, etc...
At the folder level where are folders like bootdata, cache, mnt, root, etc, there is a folder named "data", but is empty, and can't write inside it.
Is it that one where I have to place /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/??
3. Can't find a folder called "media".
4. I have installed your file NookHD-CWM-6036-for-internal-memory-rev2-(03-08-14).zip as Recovery.
But I have read at your tips, that for restoring the Stock, you have to use NookHD-emmc-stock-recovery-rev0-(07.21.13). I have done nothing with that file... Is for your information, in case I'm doing something wrong.
5. As information also, when I enter the Recovery mode (6.0.3.6), there is always a message "Warning: No file_contexts".
6. Another thing!! I think that the Backup I'm trying to Restore was made with a previous CWM... that one for the CM10.1 (may be it was CWM-Recovery-2).
Could it be the problem?
Thanks again!

In order to access the /data folder you have to be using a root file manager (try root browser lite from Play Store). That is why /data looks empty without one.
Do not use the clockwork folder in /sdcard. It must be the one in /data/media.
That stock recovery zip is for restoring stock recovery. You only flash that if you want internal CWM replaced with stock recovery.
And under backup should be the folder that was created when you backed up. Usually a date. The .tar files are inside that.
Don't worry about the last two items.

Wow, I'm sooooo noob!!
I had already installed ES3 file explorer, and didn't find the Root User mode. Now it's activated and really can see the data/media folder.
I'm moving now the backup folder to the media folder and in some minutes I post the results (I see that It's very slow and the backup is 2gb size, and will take at least 30minutes to transfer)
Many thanks!!!

Welllll....:crying::crying::crying::crying:
I have successfully restored the Nook to the Stock Rom.
But the problem with the SD Card persists.
I bought a new SD Card, and now I have 4 different brands and sizes cards.
And with all of them I have the same issue: Damaged card. You have to format it. And after formatting, always "Damaged card"...
:crying::crying::crying:
I think is a hardware problem. Something is broken...
Thank you anyway for your help!!!

Issue with TWRP Recovery and back up of Nandroid Plz Help

I am running ARHD 10.1 based on JB 4.2.2. and my recovery is TWRP. The issue I am having started when I updated the rom from 9 something to 10.1. It was recommended that I back up the sd and then restore it back on the phone after the rom flash. I deleted everything from the sd card and then transferred the files to make sure the the files don't get corrupt if it was merged. However, this method was a headache and some files were harder to transfer. After I got everything back to normal I noticed one thing. My old back up of nandroid are still in the sd card, but don't show up in recovery and my new back after the transfer of files to sd card do not show up in the TWRP back up file in the sd card, but I can see the new backup of nandroid in recovery. Why is that. I looked everywhere in the sd card and I can't find any other place it will save them. So where did my phone save them and where can i find it in the sd card?
its /data/media/clockworkmod/backup for cwm but im not sure about twrp

Before I had this issue it was /TWRP/BACKUPS/FA34MW904643/
but I only see the old back ups before the issue. The new back ups is no where to be found on the sd card, but I can see the new ones in recovery, but not the old backups.

In my phone after JB 4.2.2 , the TWRP backups saved in the folder storage/emulated/0/TWRP
If nothing ,try to check data/media/twrp or data/media/0/twrp

I found the new back ups in data/media/0/twrp, but I only see it in the file manager in twrp. The folder is shown empty on es explorer with the phone turned on and I do not see phone files when plugged into the computer, only sd. How can I view phone files on the computer.
You need ES set to root explorer to view the contents of /data

This is one of the reasons CWM is much better

Yes, you need root permissions for access to /data/media...
In general, something not so with your phone (file system), the path /data/media/0/twrp and path /storage/emuleted/0/twrp are "symlink". My advise, after you will take backup, keep all applications and data and make factory reset with formatting of internal sd under JB 4.2.2.

[Q] HD+ Hybrid Install to EMMC

So I have the hybrid install working per instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300132
I've decided to install full and overwrite stock emmc. My computer is out of commission for the foreseeable future so I was wondering if its possible to migrate to native install by simply downloading the files for 10.1 emmc and emmc recovery to the internal memory/SD card, booth from hybrid/SD recovery and flash those files?
Don't care about saving current apps/data, I'm fine with clean install.
All help is appreciated. Not a newb but need some help.
Thanks
You could do it that way, but it is best to use this procedure:
Copy the two files to internal memory.
Boot to the SD and install the emmc recovery from internal memory.
Remove the SD and boot holding the power key and n key as soon as the nook logo appears, releasing after a few seconds, putting you in the new emmc recovery.
Do a nandroid backup to internal memory.
Do a factory reset/wipe data.
Flash the new CM10.1 ROM zip from internal memory.
Reboot and everything should be good.

Thanks leapinar this worked great. Downloaded twrp redovery , 10.1 emmc to internal storage, booted from hybrid SD recover, flashed twrp recovery, removed SD, rebooted, flashed 10.1.
Working great except new emmc install doesn't allow landscape lock screen whereas hybrid 10.1 did. Guessing this will be fixed in future update. Thanks for the help and all the great work.
Thought I'd drag this thread up instead of starting a new one as I went down a similar path. I was running bokbokans hybrid and followed the instructions in this thread to move to a EMMC install (Carbon ROM) which went fine.
I just have a few questions on the transition to EMMC:
1) How can I get rid of the Cyanoboot menu that pops up briefly at start up as I won't need this any more.
2) If I look at my SD card in CM file manager (or on a card reader in Windows), it's just showing me the boot partition (115MB). Is there any way of accessing the data/files on there or should I just reformat the card to get the storage back (it would be useful to copy over some of the stuff I had on there but it's not essential).
3) If I look at the Internal Storage, it has a sub-folder called "0" which replicates some of the folders etc from the main internal storage area. Is this a carry over from the hybrid installation, ie. can I delete this sub-folder?
Thanks

1. You don't want to get rid of the cyanoboot logo. It is used to get Carbon going.
2. You eventually want to format the SD with SDFormatter to get the space back. But if you can still boot to the hybrid, then copy your media files from it first using MTP to your PC. If not then just format over.
3. That 0 folder is part of your new setup. Leave it alone,

[Q] Unable to Backup to SD in CWM on Nook HD

Hello,
First off, thanks to e.mote for the CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies guide and to the work put in by verygreen, leapinlar and bokbokan. The guide was simple and straightforward, I installed CM10.1 and CWM (seemingly) without a hitch.
However, when attempting to do a baseline backup, I'm running into some problems. I've searched the forum overall and gone through pages and pages in the Nook sections and not found any real solution. On my 8GB HD, when rebooting to recovery and attempting to backup to an SD card, I'm having the following issues:
When CWM loads, I get a "warning: no file_contexts" message. I've read mixed things about whether this is significant or not and what to do to correct it.
When I go to backup and restore>backup it seems to backup to the SD card without a hitch (although it has shown differing amounts of free space on the cards whenever I've attempted this). But when I insert the card into my computer to copy the backup, the only thing on the card is a folder called "LOST.DIR" and all the space but 3.1MB is free. I've done this 3-4 times so far, with two different microSD cards (one 4GB, one 32GB). I've both checked it and formatted the card (in FAT32) on a computer running Windows XP and one running OSX. Same results on both every time.
At some point when attempting to do the backup, the screen of the Nook begins to flash/flicker and doesn't stop until I restart it.
The first time I tried to do the backup, after I tried to restart, it didn't boot back up and the power button was unresponsive. Possibly this was due to overheating? I plugged it into the charger and it started up on its own after about 10 minutes.
Anyone else encounter this? Any solutions. Obviously I want to be able to back things up. I just rooted the device this evening, so I'd rather to not have to go through the install process all over again rather than have a proper backup.
Thanks!
You need to tell us which version of CWM you are running. And is installed to internal memory or SD?

Ah, of course! Sorry, that's what I get for doing this so late. Okay, so it's installed to the internal memory. The files I downloaded were this and this. When I reboot into recovery is says "EMMC CWM-based recovery v6.0.3.6".

Ah, ok. That means you have the newest version which puts the backup on internal memory. If you look at the menu choices closely, you will see it says to internal sdcard and the other choice is to external sdcard. So you will not find the backup on your external card.

Thanks! That'll teach me to just blindly follow instructions rather than looking around and exploring on my own - I didn't even notice the "Backup to External SD" option. So, thanks for your patience, your work on this and your speedy replies. Seems like all is well now.

Nook HD 9 stuck on Nook logo

Here is my problem description:-
I was using CM10.1.3 emmc with CWM latest version as suggested in the respective thread. I have installed a SD formatter app from Google Play and tried to format my 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card inside the device. After that, the sd card was non writable. So I tried to restart the device, but alas, it got stuck in the 1st Black screen with the big Nook. Not even able to boot into CWM. Even the CyanogenMod logo didn't come.
I have a bootable CWM (6.0.28) recovery MicroSD card (8GB Class 4) and used it to boot into recovery, cleared Cache/ Factory reset, Dalvik Cache and then again flashed Carbon unofficial 4.3 JB rom and Gapps for JB 4.3. But it still getting stuck in the 1st Nook screen.
After reading a lots of thread here, it looks like that during the format of SD card, it somehow destroyed the proper partitions of the emmc. But unlike others mentioned in different Bricked Nook HD thread, I am able to access each components of emmc when booted from CWM Bootable card, able to mount internal storage etc.
So, is there a solution to restore the emmc partitioning properly? I tried to connect it to PC for connecting it through adb but didn't have the proper usb driver for it. The driver I got, needs the hardware id of the product to modify the inf file which sadly I can't access in the device.
I also tried to restore it to stock 2.2 rom from the CWM backup created earlier before installing CM10.1.3. It got restored but didn't solve the problem, it still getting stuck into Black screen with Nook written to it, the one comes before CM logo.
Please help.
Anyone? Please guys help me here.

What SD formatter app program from Play Store are you talking about? I need to know that so I can determine what you did?

I have used the tool AParted (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted) and tried to format my 32GB Samsung Class 10 MicroSD card.
BTW, in the mean time, I did little bit of digging and got the Serial of the Tab and if you want can share with you. I have also tried to install the CM10.2 SD card version with CWM 6.027 Bootable SD card. I was able to push the Zip files to the SD card using QtADB tool by mounting the SD card in the CWM menu, installed the CM rom to SD card and then installed the Gapps for JB 4.3. Still unable to boot into CM, it is going to CWM in every restart. Used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364 for installation.

I was able to push the Zip files to the SD card using QtADB tool by mounting the SD card in the CWM menu, installed the CM rom to SD card and then installed the Gapps for JB 4.3. Still unable to boot into CM, it is going to CWM in every restart. Used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364 for installation.

You are using some strange and outdated tools. That AParted probably really messed up you internal memory.
That guide is an old one for putting CM10 on an SD install. And you do not install the SD version of CM10.2 with that 6027 bootable CWM SD. Pick a newer guide and start again.

Actually I realised that and used the new guide for for installation of latest CM10.2 build by using the latest guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36421852#post36421852. But whenever I am trying to boot into CM10.2, it is getting booted into CWM recovery.
I have checked in another thread where you had made a ZIP file to fix the internal storage structure, is it possible for my case.? Should I use this guide: http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/
I have used the method in http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/cm10-2-jellybean-android-4-3-for-nook-hd-18sep2013/ and installed 10.2. But during restart, it is showing the message that /Bootdata/BCB missing and probably that is the reason, it is always rebooting into recovery mode. I have checked in one thread where you have made a flashable Zip file to restore the system partitions. Can it be done for my case?
Waiting for your answer.

Will that fix the emmc partitions in HD+? Initially I have installed CM10.1.3 by using this method and after the issue occurred, I tried to install the Carbon 4.3 ROM through CWM recovery after performing FActory reset, cache cleaning and Dalvik Cache cleanup. But that didn't solve the issue. I have even tried to restore the stock Nook 2.2 firmware from the CWM recovery which I created earlier before installing the CM10.3. But the issue didn't get resolved.

If you used the CWM from that thread and flashed the plain stock 2.2.0, it should have fixed it.

I have tried the following steps:-
Downloaded the TWRP emmc 2.6 Bootfiles, copied them to a 64GB Class 10 sd card by formatting it to FAT32, setting it to active and then copied the Files (MLO file 1st) into it.
Also copied Nook stock 2.2 zip in the sd card.
With the card installed, Nook HD+ booted into TWRP recovery.
Performed a factory reset and wipe data.
Installed the stock rom.
After that, I checked the Bootfile partition and it was having the BCB file.
I am also able to access 27GB Emmc and copied all the zip files to Internal store using TWRP file manager.
Now I took out the SD card and tried to boot the Tab but it was again stuck into 1st Boot screen with Nook logo.
When I inserted the card 2nd time and checked the Boot Data partition using the TWRP's integrated file manager, there was nothing inside of the /BootData folder.
Is there a way to build the /Bootfiles/BCB for Nook HD plus?

it will do no good to build that file since you already had it and the boot to emmc wiped it out. TWRP puts it back when it exits, but your normal boot seems to remove it.

Please suggest me a solution for it. I read here that there is a special type of SD installation possible with no access to the emmc and the OS will threat the SD card like it treats the emmc. Could you link me to a proper guide to do that?
Also, in my case, what might be the main problem of deletion of the Bootdata partition during emmc boot? Is there any possible solution for it?
Also, if possible, provide me the Zip file for the fix, just wanted to try it out as nothing is working till now.
Anybody? please let me know how to fix the emmc partitions. I still has hope as I am completely able to access my EMMC via SD card boot.While using TWRP recovery, I can even copy files from my SD card to internal memory of the device. Also able to flash Roms too.
So please provide me a flashable Zip file which can reconstruct the EMMC file structure for proper boot.

I'm also in need of the same thing. I believe SD card manager or some such program fubared my partitions so now my Nook HD+ just hangs at the nook logo when booting from EMMC. I can boot off SD just fine though.

I was also in a similar situation in that I was stuck at the nook screen and not able to go beyond. I thought it was due to a discharged battery and leaving the Nook in my car in -20 F weather. However, I was not able to enter recovery. I found a thread by Verygreen detailing an SD card only installation for bad emmc units. I dd'd the image to the sd card and booted to cwm on the card. Then shut down, pulled the sd card and copied the rom to the card. Rebooted and the install went through correctly. I now have a working Nook HD+ although I don't have emmc access. But at least it works now. I found the thread in one of the other "Stuck on Nook screen" threads. Hope this helps you.

[Q] CM11: SDCard not detected

I got this problem after installing viral, listening to music, and some things i don't know what exactly causing it.
So i just restart my phone, and ext sd card is not detected on CM11, the storage doesn't show if i have a ext sdcard. Gallery force closing, File Manager stuck, and any app that need access to sdcard is failing. File Manager only show that i have sdcard0 (internal), when i open sdcard1, it fails.
But somehow, my sdcard is detected on TWRP, i can mount it, and even access it on TWRP, seeing files inside it.
Is there any way to fix it? or should i do a clean install?
I'm Using Novafusion's CM11 09/09/2014
Restore your nandroid backup (if you have one). Anyway, you can post your issue in the original thread, here. Good luck.

now firing up TWRP to do clean install of CM11, hoping it can restore the sdcard access. Unfortunately, i don't have any nandroid backup, since i usually just back up my apps using Titanium..

The chip is clean enough (I've trying to clean it for couple times, but it seems didin't help), The ext SDCard can't be read by android system, altough my computer can read the sdcard (using card reader) and TWRP can read that too.
I assume that the my ext SD Card format is damaged, by trying it on my tab, it says it's damaged.
So, I backed up all files on my ext SD Card using card reader on my computer, and format it on my computer, and it works again...
