I have un-rooted and flashed back to 1.0.1 and the NC is not picking up the update from the root of my sdcard, it's been 12 hours. Any info?
For the 1.1.0 update you had to place the update file in the root directory of the Nook Color's onboard memory, not the SD card. Though I haven't looked into the 1.2 update yet, I suspect that is teh case also for 1.2 and that's the source of your problem.
Make sure you don't unzip it and you put it on the main directory of the Nook itself, not the sdcard.
You need to move the update file to internal memory
Do you need to unroot and go back to stock to manually update?

Duh! It worked! Off to re-root, it's been 12 hours unrooted and I can't stand it.
Hi .
I am trying to install an update for the Xt860.
I didn't root the device. Everything is stock. But once I copied the update file to the sdcard and go to recovery I get "Failed to mount sdcard. No such directory"
So can't install the update. What am I doing wrong? Please help. I am in Holland and I don't think I will be recieving any OTA's here. Thanks a lot.

Is the update on your external or internal SD card?
On the internal.
I am normally on a SGS2. This droid xt860 is the phone of my friend. He didn't buy another sd. So there is only 1 sd card where also all the app folders etc are. So yeah internal.
It should be there right?
If you're on the latest version of the stock ROM and have trouble accessing your external SD card, try this mod based on information provided by @daorderdillon in one of the other threads around here... It just gives all apps with permissions WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (which has been changed to actually mean internal storage) full access to the external storage as well.
Only tested on stock 4.4.2 ROM, installed using TWRP.

Confirmed working on stock rooted rom 901s
Thanks
Just a quick note that this mod applies to the 4.10.708.1 version of stock as well.
after update of b127 version via sd card i lost the preloaded 5 music files and the video that came with the device any ideo how to restore them ?
Look in your stock Firmware. You can extract it.
Long story short -- I'm selling my Note 4 so I wiped/formatted EVERYTHING (used "format data" option in TWRP which required me to type "yes"). After that happened I found I didn't have an OS installed. Ok, no big deal right? I'll mount my sdcard and copy the stock firmware over than flash with TWRP.
WRONG. Every time I try to copy a file to either the sd card or the internal storage, I get the following error message:
"Cannot copy Trltetmo_N910TUVU1ANJ7_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Its file size is larger than the device limit."

Wtf? In file explore it says that the SD card has 29.7GB free space available. And internal storage has 24.1GB. Obviously something is not right here.
Is it possible that TWRP didn't format things correctly? I just want to know how to fix this so I can get the stock firmware back on this bad boy and get it sold. I have been out of the android scene for awhile so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Also, not sure if it's worth noting but when I mount my Note 4 in windows with TWRP both the internal storage and sd card have like no file structure or files whatsoever. Completely empty. Also interesting is every time I reboot with TWRP, it asks if I want to install supersu or whatever to root the phone. I say "yes" but each time I reboot after that it asks me the same thing like it didn't actually do anything.
You can use ODIN to install Stock firmware on phone. So you won't need to copy anything to phone/sdcard memory.
If you still want to install that deodexed rom you mentioned, you need to plug your sdcard to computer using a sdcard adapter. TWRP built-in mount fails most of the times when trying to copy big files.

I guess that's not actually the "stock" stock firmware. Because the file I have is a .zip and is apparently incompatible with Odin. I will go to sam mobile and download the firmware there.
Do you recommend I download the most recent firmware should I flash the one that came with the phone?
Also, I hope that once I get the firmware back on, I will be able to copy large files when mounting normally once booted into the OS...

Yes, download the latest firmware and install it using ODIN.
You would be able to see and copy/paste to your internal and memory card normally after phone boots into android.
