[Q] Using ROM Manager to Partition External SD Card - Vibrant General

So... I was trying to partition my external SD card for some ext3 action, and I went through ROM Manager. After booting me into recovery and repartitioning my "SD Card", I think it actually repartitioned my internal SD card because now my device won't boot and I'm trying to reimage through Odin. Has anyone done this yet? Am I screwed? I get through all of the boot animations but it seems to be hanging on the GalaxyS animation and then goes to a black screen but the onscreen keys are lighting up....
Should I try booting into recovery and wiping? During the Odin process it tries that, and it shows that the wipe fails in red. Is there any way to restore the internal SD card partitions to default?
Thanks! If I'm missing a sticky or thread somewhere else, let me know. I've been all over this forum since the device was released so I feel I'm fairly familiar with the processes involved.

It wiped the internal SD card and so I can't even get into ClockWork recovery or try to reset factory defaults.

Oh well. Lesson learned. If anyone else is thinking about doing this in ROM Manager, DONT. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. Took it to the store and they gave me a new one. It was doing some other funky stuff too, so I don't feel too bad.

Oh I just wrote the whole thread for fixing it

Corrupted SD Card Investigation

Hey guys,
With my SD card corrupted, If i put my 16GB microSD card in and flash I9000UGJG8 the phone boots, without any SD cards showing up, now here is what I am thinking.
1. Instead of flashing the stock I9000UGJG8, I am going to try a pre-rooted complete rom (2.1) using ODIN. Know of any?
2. Once I get the phone up and running with a pre-rooted Rom, repartition using linux / terminal / adb.
I need help doing the above as I am not an advanced linux users, anyone with this kind of knowledge willing to help me, perhaps we can help a lot of members in the community who have this issue.
yes, I know, I know all this has a chance provided it is not a hardware issue. I suspect its a software issue.
Ok Step one is done, heres how I did it.
1. Flash I9000UGJG8 using odin, before restart pull out EX SD manual copy Clockwork Recovery rename to update.zip also copy Tayutam's rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774950#)
2. Insert SD card into phone and boot to recovery, choose apply update.zip, phone boots to recover 2e again, select apply update.zip and you boot to CWM.
3. While in CWM choose apply .zip form sd and select Tayutam's.
4. Now I have booted into a rom with root.
Now to figure out step 2 help, please
I found this - http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
My friend has this problem and coudnt return the phone because he lost the receipt.
Just to check - you have /data but not /sdcard ? In this case, it can't be corrupt, it simply isn't formatted. This is easy to fix using parted.static binary.
This is only if you have a /data but not a /sdcard.
yes that is correct,
I have /data.
Can you help me format the /sdcard?

Just flash any good ROM via ODIN or Kies. It will be back. You might lose the data, I am not sure.

If you have solved your issue, please say it on your Title.
And explain how you did it. Might help others.
I bet you haven't made it a ntfs right? cos only the fat types would work as a filesystem.

Hers's how I do.
When I have a costom ROM installed, want THIS ROM, I put my phone into download mode, fire up Odin, select 512 pit, select reparation.
Just as its restarting, pull battery, again put into download & flash your ROM thru Odin, here no pit no repartition your pda, modem, csc, & you are thru
Hope it helps.
Is this the same issue when the phone still boots but gives the error message saying " Internal SD card Damage, Format required" ??
I had situation like most where phone would power off after the initial logo.
Now, I had a 8GB external microSD card which I used with the phone from the beginning ad added storage but have been removed since phone not booting up.
When I for whatever reason decided to put back the external microSD card in hope that maybe I can put the ROM file in there to flash to different ROM or something but I couldn't because in recovery mode, either internal or external sdcard would not mount.
But! when the external microSD card plugged in, I was able to fully boot the phone into the OS. (I tried both JG8 & JH2). But once it was booted into the OS, I would get a message in notification bar saying something about 'can not mount internal sdcard' or something, plus can't mount external sdcard either.
So the phone was working (to a limit) other than anything else that required sdcard storage.
I mean, I tried repartitioning from Odin and such and there was no difference. Same result.
Oh by the way, without the external microSD card, I was not able to do 3-button combo to get in to Recovery Mode but I could get in to Download Mode.
Only way to get in to Recovery Mode was to insert the external microSD card.
So at least you can fully boot into the OS. Mine does boot but I get a black screen. Right after the flash completes on first reboot, as soon as it hits the recovery menu, it fails to copy factory data over to the internal SD card and complains about not being able to mount the internal SD card. This seems to be a common problem to the non-international versions of the I9000 (specifically I9000M)?
Thanks ragin I will give you method a try and see what happens.
My friend's still does not work. Repartition or not, tried so many roms, still boots up but after the blank logo, it is just completely blank screen but the back button or menu button are lit when pressed. Even with an external microcard in, it still wont boot. I think the internal memory card is corrupted as indicated on the recovery mode
It says
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdate_media: Cant't mount SDCARD:
copy default media content failed
That is the error that comes up right after flashing the phone with any ROM that are known good. And when reboot now is selected, it just shows blank screen right after the samsung logo shows up
That is the infamous internal sdcard corruption that quite a few Bell users are experiencing (see the thread in the general section). I had it once - I repartitioned and recovered; the next time it happened there was no way of fixing it. Tried many ROMS, repartitioning etc. I sent it in to Bell and they had to replace the motherboard.
I really hope there is a software/firmware fix but I don't have high hopes... good luck.

No point in being able to boot into OS,
when either internal or external storage can not be mounted.

in windows/linux when you have a drive that does not have a drive letter or is courupted you go into fdisk/gpart and fix it, why cant we do that in Android.
Flash drives dont just get corrupted where it is unfixible, I could see loosing the data but a low level partition and/format should be able to fix it.
Just my 2 cents
so no progress? i flashed Doc's JK3 rom, and my phone died within 2 days of flashing it.
i guess i'm going to read up on fdisk and gpart, and see if i can get something going.

Did I just brick?

I installed CM7 as per the instructions, but now I can't get into the OS. I can't even get back into CWM.
I installed everything just fine, and when I booted up, I got the CM7 splash screen, and then a total black screen. No matter what I've done to the SD card, it just stays at the black screen.
I installed Dalingrins (sp?) OC kernel too, so I don't know if that could of messed it up in any way
My NC is a blue sticker, by the way.
Can you boot to CWM from your SD card?
You may need to repartition your nook to the old setup and then attempt to load CM7

Nope. not at all. I've tried putting the CWM image on the SD card from several different PC's in case mine was just messing with me. But no go.
Try a new CWM image and/or a new SD card.
I actually found an old sandisk class 2 4Gb SD card worked great to make my bootable CWM SD Card.

1: Please don't say brick when referring to the NC. Until you have to JTAG a G1, you don't know what brick is.
2: Are you trying to boot CM off of an SD card or the internal memory? MAKE SURE you downloaded the eMMC kernel (not SD) if you are installing to the internal memory.
3: How about some more details of what kernel/rom version you downloaded, file name, how you went about it, etc. Then instead of this needless back and forth, we can solve it in one go, eh?
"I installed CM7 as per the instructions" = which instructions?

Okay, first, no need to be rude.
Second, I have JTAGed a device. My Captivate had to be JTAGed after a bad ODIN flash. So thanks so much for telling me what to not call my device that won't boot up no matter what I do. Also, thanks for telling me what I do and don't know.
I downloaded the eMMC kernel, Dalingrin's OC kernel. I followed this guide in General: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 I followed every single step.
I didn't cut any corners, and I did exactly as it told me. Only thing I didn't do was re-partition it.
Looks like you tried to install CM7 into your internal memory (per instructions).
I assume that you have not flash CwM internally.
If that's the case, re-prepare the bootable CwM uSD again, boot the NC back into CwM recovery, do format /system, format /data, format /cache first then install the zip file (CM7, gapps) then go back and wipe data/factory reset. Remove uSD then reboot.
Give it some times to load.

Cannot get back to OS.

So yesterday I rooted my Atrix and loaded CM7 on there. Everything was going fine. I then started seeing errors saying that my SD was unmounted or not found while in the OS. I tried looking it up and all I could find was that I should try formatting so I wiped everything off it, didn't work. So now I went into ClockworkMod recovery to reset to factory and now it's not booting up to the OS at all. It just sticks at the logo screen where it says "Unlocked". I am able to get back to recovery screen but that's it. I can't access the SD card at all because it's empty and it can't find it.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Reinstall CM7. you can enable USB mode from recovery, just copy the CM7 zip back on from your computer, and you should be good to go.

Did you wipe the internal or external?
If I were you I would do a complete fastboot wipe and flash another ROM. That way you eliminate a bunch of possible problems.
When I try to mount USB storage, it says "Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Also, I wiped the internal one. I don't have an external SD. And how do I do a fastboot wipe?
Do you think it might work if I got an external SD card and put the files on there? Then try to flash CM7 from it?

Completely Dead Nook Color CM10

Hello everyone,
Im new to this forum but have lurked for a few years. I consider myself reasonably familiar with android and have installed custom roms on various devices in the past.
Yesterday I installed the latest CM10 Color Nook Rom to an micro SD and on to my wife's Nook Color. Install went great, Wifi up and working and I went to install Gapps via recovery. When it came back on the keyboard kept dying and I realized I had installed too new of Gapps. My bad. I shut off the nook and removed the micro SD with the intentions of wiping it out and starting fresh.
I put the nook off to the side and about 15 mins later went to install my fresh install of JB when I found the nook completely dead and unresponsive. The battery was at about 90% when i turned it off.
This was only supposed to be a install to the sd, I dont know why it's affecting the nook when theres no sd card in it.
So far I have tried:
pulling out the sd card
hard reset
creating a nook color restore micro sd and booting from that
charging
The nook remains completely dead and 100% unresponsive and I have no idea where to go from here! I keep reading its hard to brick these but im starting to think thats what happened!
I was thinking of taking off the cover and doing a battery pull. Any ideas?
If you truly have nothing happening, it certainly sounds like a hardware problem. Pulling battery to reset is worth a try. It's worked for me on several Android devices (never tried it with a Nook, though). Somewhere recently in the forum I read how to do a safe battery pull on a Noo, but don't recollect where. Search for it. If that fails, I'd say your Nook is kaput.

No, don't pull the cover. What happened is your boot files got corrupted on internal memory. It will not power on unless those files are there or a valid bootable SD is in the slot.
You need to get my bootable CWM SD from my tips thread linked in my signature. That should boot. Then you need to reinstall whatever ROM you had on internal memory. If it was stock you can get the CWM flashable version also from my tips thread.

Im going to try your linked CWM and create the SD from your tips first. The last I saw the battery it said roughly 80% and assuming it wasn't stuck in some loop it should be still good.
If the battery IS actually dead will the nook charge with no OS installed? My charger cord came apart months ago and I have been charging (slowyly; lol) off a generic cord plugged into the computer. Will this make a difference or should I wait to try this when I have a proper charger cord?
Thanks for everyone's help! You guys are lifesavers!

My CM10 went completely dead last week. I put lepinlar's v6.0.1.2 Bootable CWM Recovery on and SD card and now have some sign of life.
I get to the cyanoboot universal bootloader screen, but it just sits with a Loading.... note. I've let it sit for about 10 minutes and nothing else happens. I also tried the N key and it does load the boot menu...but no option gets me past that initial screen...
should it just boot directly into CMW? any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Not really sure what you mean. You say you put my bootable CWM on SD. You mean you burned the image to an SD? And it boots to the cyanoboot screen but gets stuck on loading...?
Does the cyanoboot screen have a small s0 in the upper left corner? If does that means it is trying to boot from the SD. It should boot directly into CWM by itself.
Try reburning it or use my 5.5.0.4 version. Once it gets to CWM, install a new ROM with it. The original reason it went dead was corrupted files on your internal boot partition. Reflashing the ROM should fix it.

I've used Win32diskimager to burn both v6.0.1.2 and 5.5.04 to an SD card. I do see the S0 in the upper left corner, but the screen never moves past the initial Loading...screen.
I can get it to load clockworkmod using a '1gb_clockwork-3.0.1.0' recovery image (also tried 1gb_clockwork-3.2.0.1-eyeballer w/the same result). However, I get a message that states:

I then attempted to flash your Nook Color EMMC Partition Repair zips....The NookColor-emmc-repair-partitions-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip will complete the 'repartitioning /boot /system /data /cache and media' step.
it sticks on the Repartitioning internal memory - be patient this may take a while'...i've let it sit for about 30+ minutes...how long should this take? My nook is currently sitting in this phase now...I guess I'll let it sit for a while and see if anything else happens.

Which recovery are you using to flash the repair zips? It needs to be at least 3.2.0.1. Don't use that 3.0.1.0. Don't worry about those E: messages, it just means cache is not formatted.
It is sounding like the first step of the repartitioning is not taking. That is fixing partition one. I'll be right back with another zip to see if you can flash that.
Try the attached and see what happens. You can also try the bootable TWRP to flash rather than CWM. I have that linked in that partition fix thread.

I did try with the 3.2.0.1 recovery and the flash you posted above. It is still sticking at the 'repartitioning internal memory' step...I also tried your TWRP bootable, but that still sticks at the loading screen.
I can't find my external sd writer, so I've been writing/burning using in internal writer in two different laptops and a camera in mass storage mode. I ordered a SD writer from amazon...should get it on Wednesday. I wonder if my issues are just with writing/burning the SD card..
I'll report back when I get the new writer and guess I might as well try another card too.

It is possible it is the card. It might be good enough to start the boot, but not good enough to read and write the files that are needed. Definitely try a different card.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I am almost positive that is what is wrong. Try a SanDisk class 4.

scthomps, you could get a NC replacement charging cable from ebay, just do a search, it works good for me.
I'm actually running into this problem right now with two different nook color tablets.
One I've had CM10 installed to the EMMC for well over a month without any problems. The other Nook Color I followed the same procedure to install to the EMMC off a bootable SD card.
Regardless of how little or much power the Nook has, it will not even power on unless I have a bootable SD card installed.
Once I get to the menu, I can boot from the internal EMMC without any problems. Not sure what I did to correct the /boot partition on two different Nooks. Least of all one that's been working.
Going to try boot into recovery to see if I can fix whatever corruption got introduced.

You need a complete set of boot files on the internal boot partition or it won't even try to turn on by itself without a bootable SD. You don't. It needs MLO, u-boot.bin, uImage and uRamdisk there. You obviously have the MLO or u-boot.bin missing or corrupted because uImage and uRamdisk must be there to boot from the SD menu.
This is all fixable by just flashing your ROM again. Those files all get put back on fresh.

Which recovery are you using to flash the repair zips? It needs to be at least 3.2.0.1. Don't use that 3.0.1.0. Don't worry about those E: messages, it just means cache is not formatted.
It is sounding like the first step of the repartitioning is not taking. That is fixing partition one. I'll be right back with another zip to see if you can flash that.
Try the attached and see what happens. You can also try the bootable TWRP to flash rather than CWM. I have that linked in that partition fix thread.

Hi leapinlar I think I have the same problem as this guy except its on a Nook HD +, becuase I get that same error message when I boot into a bootable cwm. Can you help me out please?

Need Help Getting Back to Stock From Cyanoboot!

Hi Everyone,
I've searched across the forums but I haven't been able to figure out my problem, it be great if anyone could help me out here. I would like to just change my whole Nook Color back to factory stock - no roms, nothing - but I can't seem to get it right. I'm not tech savy so please bear with me on this.
When I boot up my nook, CyanoBoot Boot Loader loads up with two options only: Internal eMMC Normal (which brings me to CynogenMod 7) and Internal eMMC Recovery (which brings me to a factory reset page but all it does is just resets CynogenMod 7). The other options such as Internal eMMC Alternate, SD Card Normal, SD Card Recovery, and SD Card Alternate are not available (I cannot select them). I've created a bootable ClockWork Mod card and placed a factory Barnes and Nobles Zip file on it in hopes that I can just install the Barnes and Nobles Stock from ClockWork but when I restart with the card, CyanoBoot appears again with the same options and ClockWork never opens. Additionally, even with a SD Card inside, the SD Card options from Cyanoboot are not available.
Can anyone help me out with getting back to Factory Stock?
That means your SD is not bootable. It is sometimes difficult to burn a card so it boots. Look at my NC tips thread linked in my signature and read item A9.

Was able to reset it with the 8 failed boot attempts! Thanks for the information and help!
