If it does not show up at all, reboot the phone and try again, but do NOT let it boot back to Android. You can get back in to the bootloader by waiting until the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen shows up and typing 'adb reboot bootloader' with the usb cable attached.
have reformatted sdcard with external card reader to fat32, copied liberated....zip onto the drive and inserted back into phone (while it was powered off)
each time the .... adb devices fails to see it and android loads it makes changes to the sdcard, inserting one or two directories

Does it show up in adb devices after it has booted to android? It sounds like you're missing some drivers. You should really do this from linux or osx to avoid driver issues - try downloading a linux livecd.
I was having a similar issue.. here is what I did to fix it.
First I made sure it could be seen by ADB loop when the phone was not in the bootloader screen. Then I shut it down and reformatted the SDcard in an external card reader.
Open up 2 command prompt windows and start loop in one and have this adb command in another "adb reboot bootloader" but do not hit enter.
Reboot the phone while plugged in to the USB and during the HTC boot screen you should see the phone show up in the loop this is when you hit enter on the adb command it will then reboot the phone to the bootloader screen and follow the instructions from there to flash the rom/root.

I have the MyTouch 3G with the Cyanogen Recover 1.4.
I had the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.7 with no problems. I tried applying the Enoch theme 1.4.7 and it put my phone in a boot loop. I tried factory wiping. I don't have access to any of the cyanogenmod zip files on my SD card because the Cyanogen Updater doesn't put it on the root directory of the SD.
So is there a way to fix this? Get back to any build of the phone to work? Can I access the SD card if I connect it via USB to my PC? PLEASE HELP!!!!
dannyfal!
i don t know if I undersoot you fully.BUT>>>> sometimes the SD card plays crazy,or get dammaged easy.In case you see the files on a computer but your phone is unable to read them is no big problem.If your phone is in bootloader mode and stucked there,it is a bit bigger problem.Have you ever applyed the hard reset ???It helps a lot.After that the SD card recognized by the phone as memory card2.So the phone is looking for the simple name SD MMEMORY.Or sd card.This is just matter of time.You give a name ending sd crad.bat and you can erase this bad sector data.In this case you might loose the program and your important data with it.BUT>>> you save sd card,and other files on it.
If you can t make it work coz your phone is in boot loader modus,than you need professional help.And a new rom update.
helos * hopr helped somehow*

You can enable usb mode in Cyanogen's recovery image by connecting the usb cable, dropping in to the console and typing (without quotes) "ums_enable" move your ROM and when you're done "ums_disable"
then "reboot recovery" and reflash.
If you don't have a computer you can use the console to my the files.
mount /sdcard <- Mounts the fat32 partition
ls <- See what files/folders are in the current directory
cd nameoffolder < change directory
then once you're in the folder where the ROMs are stored (cm-update, I believe) you can either move or copy them to the root.
use 'ls' again to find the filenanme of the ROM you want to copy/move..
cp name-of-rom.zip /sdcard <- to copy the ROM to the root, or use 'mv' to move the file.
EDIT: I am an idiot. You're on a MyTouch so you can't use the console in recovery. In that case connect your phone to your computer (which has the sdk setup with drivers) and type the commands I stated about after 'adb shell'
Transfer files from PC or ext SD from recovery?
by OS is damaged and I can only get to fastboot, android recover, etc
How can I either restore a factory rom with RSD or fastboot or is there a way to access the external SD card from recovery?
I have tried using RSD light to load
1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012.sbf
but it fails each time
the phone is Unlocked & rooted
I tried fix permissions, still fails

I'm not familiar with fastbbot and RSD could lead to more problems if done incorrectly so I would go the external way.
Do you have a card reader/usb for your micro sd card? If so, you can take your external out of the phone and install anything you want then turn off phone and put in your card again and access recovery.
Turn the phone on while holding "power" and "volume down" until white letters show up saying fastboot on the top right corner of the screen. Then release both buttons. It will still say fastboot at this point. Click the volume down button until it cycles to android recovery. Then click power up to enter recovery. Scroll through the menu down to mounts and storage and click the power button to select it. then scroll down again and select mount USB storage. Select it and then connect your phone to your pc and transfer the files you want. This is all assuming you've installed CWM or another 3rd party recovery.
I have CWM 4.0.1.4 installed
The restore continually fails and if I use advanced to try to restore the data folder on its own it says Error while formatting data
External 2gig SD Card placed in phone:
I cant find the external SD card in the list when I try to use it for installing a new ROM
Accessing phone via USB cable & PC:
when I go to mounts & storage / mount USB
it says,

Leaving this menu unmount
your SD card from your PC
Unmount

I connect the phone to the PC at this point and it does nothing, no beebs nothing...
I tried 2 different cables
it did when before...
I am att i337 S4 MDL w/ TWRP 2.5.0.2 running GoldenEye with no add ons.
Happy.
Now I'm curious where this "write protected" originates. The desktop computer runs Windows 7.
When I plug my phone into the computer I can view files in the phone and the SD card in the phone, using windows explorer. I can also copy files from the handset to the computer.
But it won't let me copy anything from the computer to the phone. It says it's "write protected". I'm not sure if it's a setting on the computer or a setting on the phone.
And "search" for this forum is temporarily disabled.
Anyone know of this particular calamity?
fixed thanks to Scott14719
I powered down and then removed the Micro SD, and when I powered back up, it showed that cool padlock icon with the label "Custom" screen during boot up. I hadn't seen that screen on boot up since I used Casual to get a TWRP recovery.
I tethered the handset to the Desktop and opened the windows explorer. Obviously it just showed phone this time, instead of phone and card. I tested copying files and it worked fine, the "write protected" error was gone.
I unhooked, powered down, put the micro SD card back in, powered up and noted the boot up screen was back to normal. Tethered up again and voila! Files can be written to the phone and or the card and no more "write protected" error.
Funny little fluke. Problem solved. Curiosity remains.
As my title says, the problem with my nook simple touch is that it will not go past the 'Read Forever' Screen.
Yes I have reset the device 8 times and watched the device reformat itself, it still does not go past the 'read forever' screen
The screen is responsive, because the clockwork mod (run off my SD card) navigates just fine
factory formats and manual formats (via clockworks), still do not get it past the read forever screen, although it says installation was successful.
I think the storage for my NST is the issue, and I want to exhaust all my options before spending $40 to trade in for a new one.
I have two questions
Is there a fix for my scenario?
Is it possible to boot straight from the SD card, bypassing my corrupt internal drive? some OS/thing that can be run right off the SD?
I just want to read books on my nook from my SD card, if I can get that I will be happy.
Does anyone have a solution?
I have a feeling my device is bricked, because even when I put touchnooter on my SD card and into my nook, the screen doesn't flash black as it is supposed to.
I would say if CWM recovery works then the hardware is mostly ok.
You could have screwed up the partitioning, that will prevent many things from working.
Try mounting everything in CWM, see if that work.
Hey,
I was able to mount everything except /data and /sd-ext, I got an "Error mounting" message.
First, if you can access /rom, adb pull everything and put it in a safe place on your desktop.
Um, I think that CWM has an option to format a partition?
Format /data.
Don't worry about sd-whatever. The stock CWM recovery has a strange config.
Then do a factory format.
I'm getting an error when i try to format /data, would that mean its permanently corrupt?
Do you have ADB over USB to the CWM?
If not, get that going. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/BN_Nook_Simple_Touch/Installing_ADB
Did you safely save away the files in /rom?
What error do you get when formatting?
Did you use a command like this?
Code:
busybox mkfs.ext2 -L data /dev/block/mmcblk1p8
After a few hours of trying--I just cant get the ADB working for my nook through CWM. Three different tutorials on how to set it up and still my computer doesn't detect the nook ADB.
I do not know how to access /rom, so no I have never saved it.
The error I get when formatting /data in CWM is "Error formatting /data!"
My device got stuck on this read forever bootloop out of nowhere. One day I was using it, then i don't use it for a week, and when I start it up again, its in a bootloop, and no reformatting seems to get it out of it.
With the Nook connected, check the device manager (devmgmt.msc).
There should be a line at the top for "Android Phone".
Treed off of that should be "Android Composite ADB Interface".
On your taskbar the little USB icon should have "Safely disconnect Android Composite ADB Interface".
Did you get this much working at least?
Hello, today I tried to install cm-13.0-20160326-NIGHTLY-klte but I got "Total xfer: 1.00x" message on my terminal.
I always used adb sideload in order to install new CM updates, everytime worked fine except today, not sure why but I can't install the update, it stucks on 47%
Code:
macbook:~ panoskosmidis$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0b459abc sideload
Code:
macbook:~ panoskosmidis$ adb sideload /Users/panoskosmidis/Downloads/cm-13.0-20160326-NIGHTLY-klte.zip
Total xfer: 1.00x
Any help would be great
Thanks in advance
Flash it normally via recovery like most other people?
I use adaptable storage so when I download an update in my device and reboot in order to install it the storage is not mounted so I cannot access the downloaded file.
Now I cannot access into OS when I boot the device I stuck on cyanogenmod logo and never boots into the OS, so the only way for me to solve the issue is to flash it via adb..
used to work just fine, I really cannot understand why this time it didn't, not sure where the fault can be, on the mobile phone or in my computer...?
Thanks
a strange thing happens, not sure why it happens but when I try to boot with my sd card the phone is stuck in cyanodenmod logo while booting and it never boots, when I remove the sd card it boots normal but as I set the phone to use sd card as internal memory I get a message that I should insert my sd card, so I insert my sd card and everything works fine.
I cannot restart my phone with my sd card on it because it won't boot, so I have to remove the sd card, let phone boot and then insert back the sd card... pain in the a$$...
Not sure why this happens, any suggestion?
Thanks
