I haven't rooted my nook yet, but I have run into a peculiar issue. I plugged it into my computer tonight after work, and instead of seeing it as a nook, I am getting 2 removable drives. When I click on either of the two removable drives, I am asked to insert a disk into the removable drive.
When I open the Adobe Digital Editions software (to put Google Books on my nook), it no longer sees the nook, either.
Any thoughts on why this would happen?
Win7 Pro x64
I have now done a factory reset, data clear, and still unable to see the nook properly. All I get is two removable disks, with no devices inserted, when I plug the nook into either of my computers.
Try inserting an SD card into your NC and see if one of the removable drives stops asking for a drive to be inserted.
I'm assuming the two drives are the internal NC storage and the SD card slot. That's how it shows up on my rooted one. Can't recall what it looked like before root. Next time I reset mine, I'll take a look and check in here.
By chance, do you have an Android Phone device in your Device Mangler?
no, I did not see it.
I was able to resolve the issue, though. I ran through AutoNooter, then did a full reset (after playing around with the rooted version, of course ). After that, it worked just fine. I think it had something to do with the way the VMWare player saw it the first time I had it connected. If I have VMWare running, when I plug the nook in, it shows up as a VMWare Virtual USB device, even though it's not connected to the guest.
Not a big deal, I was able to transfer files/movies/etc. to it earlier today, and that was what I was looking to do.
So I have a 64gb card in my phone, everything works fine on it except on boot it says there a problem when there really is none. All my music and files open just fine. Another issue I have is that the USB transfer rate is slower than 1.1 so any time I want to put new music on in have to take the card out and use an SD card reader to put new files onto it. Often times when transfer via a cable to the phone it just locks up mid transfer. How do i fix both the SD card problem boot message and the horrible transfer rates and lockup via USB?

Same issue on lumia 820.
Its possible that the master file table is dirty and the MicroSD needs formatted, but I'd use the Panasonic SD card formatter (I think that's what its called anyways), as SD cards require special care compared to hard drives.
Hello, I try to connect a Toshiba hard drive to my Moto X xt1097 using OTG but it doesn't recognize it. Does anybody has an idea why is this happening?
Maybe the format. What format is your hard drive's file system?(ntfs, fat32, etc...)

It's NTFS

Most likely that is the problem. You need to look for a file manager app that says it supports OTG and NTFS. FAT32 is better supported via OTG.

I connected the same hard drive to a moto G, and using root explorer I could see my files. But in my Moto X nothing happens, not even using root explorer.
I had problems with it before in root explorer(on my first gen X). I switched to ES File Explorer and it could work better with OTG. But that was just from my experience.

I plug in my external hdd's often onto my Moto X and it detects fine using root explorer. You need to go to the root of your filesystem->storage->usbdisk, but you probably have tried doing that. You could try connecting a different pen drive or hdd to see if those work or not.
I've connected an usb pen drive and everything is fine.
I've noticed also that, when I connect the hard drive, the device detect it briefly then nothing happens.
Also, I've installed some apps from the play store that help mounting and unmounting ntfs devices; when I connect the hdd the app starts blinking and a message appears constantly "device attached", device detached... And so on

This is probably a stupid question, but is it a small portable HDD? I remember sometimes I had issues connecting an old 2.5" laptop HDD. The phone couldn't provide enough power for it to fully operate, and it would just keep spinning up and spinning down, but never fully operating.

It's a small one
Power is definitely your issue here. The typical 2.5" HDD takes 1-3 W of power. However, the typical OTG device can supply maybe 1 W max.
Well, I just tried my external USB 3 500GB drive (2.5"). Only FAT32 worked. NTFS and exFAT would not work at all.

I assume you formatted the same HDD each time. What app did you use to read it?

Yeah, I formatted each time to see what would mount. The Moto X mounted the HDD immediately. I usually use solid explorer for file management.
It's frustrated. My Moto G 4G running cm12 detects the hdd immediately, but my expensive Moto X running stock 5.0 doesn't. Could be a rom related problem maybe?

Yeah, I think NTFS read/write working is due to CM12. I don't think NTFS ever worked on stock roms on any android devices, due to licensing issues and such. I remember reading about NTFS-3G or something like that being incorporated into CM that enabled NTFS read/write.
I tried the Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ app, and it mounted my HDD w/NTFS formatting, and I could see my files in solid explorer, but I couldn't actually open anything.
I don't think there is much you can do other than using FAT32.
Disregard this post..

Hi I have some issues connecting my Moto X Force ( which is the same cellphone as the Droid Turbo 2 that Verizon sells in the US). I previously had a Nexus 6 and connected it to a Honda Civic 2016 model without any issues. Yesterday I bought a Moto X Force and to my surprise I just couldn't connect to Android Auto.
I am running android 6.0 so it should be compatible with my cellphone but for some reason it tells me that my device isn't compatible.
First the phone tells me that I need to download some apps ( which I already have downloaded), after I press "Accept" it tells me the following:
"Your device isn't compatible with this version"
Then after pressing OK I get a screen that says something went wrong, that I need to download android auto, google maps, google play and the google app. Even when I have already downloaded all of them!
I've tried deleting and reinstalling the android auto app, resetting my stereo head unit and even enabled the USB debugging mode, but so far everything has been useless.
Any one else has the same issue I do?
I would appreciate very much your suggestions on how to solve this problem, thank you!
Make sure you use the original USB cable that came with the phone and have Bluetooth enabled. Android Auto works fine on my Moto X Pure with Android 6.0.

I already tried this before making this post, but thanks for the suggestion! The moto X pure works because it runs a pure version of Android.
Did you try doing a factory restore on the phone? Wouldn't hurt to try.
So I got my 360 camera and put a brand new SD CARD into it Lexar 128GB 633X . The card doesn't work in it. So I put the current card in my phone and swapped the new one. I know the new card works as I'm using it in my phone now. The other card works in the 360. It seems the 360 cannot handle upscale cards. Seems odd because of the high resolution photos and videos it takes?? The card working in it now specs write up to 80mb....does this not seem odd?
