All of a sudden, my BN library is gone. It was there earlier today. Right after I downloaded some more books, my entire library disappeared. My sd card read fine. All of those books are there. It's just the BN ones I have downloaded. My NC is rooted.
Please, please, please...can anyone help me?
This is really odd...did you try logging into your account online to see if all your books and things are still there? If they are, it probably shouldn't be too hard to fix...go to your library on your nook and hit the sync button and see if it comes back.
I know...it's so weird. All my shelves and mags are gone, too. I checked online. They are all there. I have tried sync, but it won't do anything. It does not reload them. I am so stumped and upset.
Please help!!!
Something else I noticed with the missing library
I had a couple of books on the home screen. I can open those. That tells me that they are somewhere on the NC or it wouldn't open. At least, I would think so. Am I wrong? I know I didn't move anything.
When I got the new downloads this afternoon, I had to stop the download do to work, so they never completed. It won't sync. I think it's because it sees the files somewhere, but I have no idea where. I went into Astro library. I can only see the 2 guide books that come with it.
I hooked my NC to my PC. I can see the BN downloads there. Even weirder.
I am a teacher. I teach an AP English class. Of course, my copies were on this library and now I can't access them.
Can anyone help me with this?
please help?
Newest development. I went to download the new freebie of the week and it worked. It showed up in my library like it is i suppose to. Is there a way to move files? Where do I move them to? Can I temporarily move them and put them back and they show up? I can see the others when I plug the NC into my PC. If I take them out, reboot, put them back there, will that work?
*banging head on wall*
help?
I could really use the help please
tried something else - didn't work
I went and deleted all downloads from BN (after I backed them up on my computer) and rebooted. I thought that if they weren't there, I could re-sync and download again. Nope. That didn't work. I could only redownload the one from this morning.
That would lead me to believe that there is some command screwed up.
I am now out of my element. I can see the downloads when I go into Astro. I just can't read them in my library.
Help...I am desperate.
Anyone?

This really doesn't make much sense to me...my only guess would be to try moving the files around from your internal memory to your sd card or something and see if you can get them to show up. Your files are there but your library app seems messed up...I'm not sure what to do about that man. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help you out.
I did a factory reset. I have my library back now, but I can't root it. I may just leave it. I was playing too much and not reading the material I needed to anyway. I just wish someone could have helped me, but it's ok. As much as I wanted it rooted again, apparently it won't let me now. I have been trying for 3 hours. *sigh*
Same.
All of a sudden a bit earlier this morning, all my books disappeared. It has happened before and I found that the best way to fix it is to reboot it. .
Same thing happened to me. It's a brand new device. I looked online and they're all there, but there's no way to redownload them to my nook. Will be calling nook support tomorrow.

I just came across this realization last night, and it is very, very disconcerting - to say the least.
I have had my EVO since day one launch - no problems with it. I am not rooted, and have the latest OTA update applied.
I actually have the two Transformers moves from the HD2 on my memory card from a friend, as well as a couple more he ripped/formatted for our phones (he now has an EVO as well). The night before last I was bored/tired and stayed up in bed watching parts of both films. One day later (last night) I was out with friends and one of them asked me to show another how good the video looks on our phones. I fired up Meridian (what I always use to watch movies on the EVO) and was shocked to find the two TF films were nowhere to be found. What's more, the listing of "VIDEO00__" files from the EVO camcorder seemed suspiciously short - like some of those were missing, too. Now, I know that at least the TF films were on there the night before.
I got home, removed the card from the phone and fired it up on my laptop. I used two file recovery programs: Recuva and Pandora Recovery (both free) to analyze the card. I found the Transformers files as if they'd been deleted. I also found a whole host of other files that have been deleted. The vast majority of them seemed to be media of some sort, from photos to Video files (taken with the phone). Since most of the media produced from the phone are "IMAG00__.jpg" or "VIDEO00__.3gp" and I DO manually delete some of them time to time, it was hard to tell what was intentionally deleted and what wasn't. HOWEVER, there were definitely media files I would NOT have deleted, like pictures from my Wallpapers folders, photos from other folders I manually renamed based on the content, etc.
I don't know how long this has been going on - I know that the file recovery program Recuva tell you what file overwrote another. Using that, I could see that a movie I would not have deleted (Iron Man) was overwritten with a photo taken with the phone that, based on the file number, was taken on or about July 4th. Flipping through my video gallery, I am certain I am missing many of those, too, as videos from a certain event (family gathering) that I know I had a handful of files for now only have one.
I've had the phone now for basically a month and a half - and while I am normally good about backing up here and there I have neglected to do so often with my EVO as I've been very busy (getting married in about a month) and I didn't think I'd need to have a backup short of physically losing the phone (have never lost a phone). This realization scares the heck out of me, and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced it or has any ideas about it. Until last night when I happened to be looking for a specific file(s) I used the night before, I didn't have any idea this was happening.
If it helps, in between the night when I watched the movies that later went missing and the night I realized they were gone I connected my EVO to the computer via USB to transfer a file and charge it. I realized recently whenever I connected the phone the computer would automatically read/access the card without me ever having to choose the option from the pull down menu. I thought that maybe that kind of activity could be the root cause of missing files (you know how flash drives don't like to be fiddled with while reading/writing). I did some searching before starting this post and found out that behavior is caused by a setting in DoubleTwist which I have since changed. Still, I have a hard time believing that's the root cause of files which just seem to be deleted without me ever doing it.
Any thoughts or ideas? Any way you members can check to see if you seem to be missing any media (or other) files?
Sounds like phone corrupted card. Sorry, you're sol. There's another couple of posts relating to this subject and a possible remedy for future occurrences with this problem. Either look for post with subject of corrupt card or files disappear. It's in the same section as this one, you might have to look through a few pages before you see them. Good luck.

It all makes sense now, Optimus Prime destroyed the data when he found out you ripped them.

After using HTC Voice Recorder my card got corrupted so I reformatted it and tried again... Not sure why, but HTC Voice Recorder corrupts my card EVERY time =/
For a freebee, try virtualrecorder. Cool features. Sounds excellent.

Really? I'll look for them but I would have thought a corrupt card would manifest in some other way - like not functioning when you try to record or save something, not systematically deleting files. Strange.

I've only used my voice recorder a few times. After reading this, maybe I won't anymore.
I just had to chime in that this very thing happened to me and with the same movies that i got from the files of the hd2.
All i know is that i had a gig or so left on my card and then the next day i had over 6 left.
The good thing is i had the card and all its content backed up on the wifes computer.

Update:
I used that recuva you recommended and it worked! Got all my pics back. I've been wondering what on earth caused it to be lost in the first place because I haven't installed anything lately. I am rooted and I noticed alot of titanium backup files were also gone. Sprite backup files were gone. A mystery indeed. I've learned my lesson though. Backup. More. Frequently.
I can't find this anywhere else, so here goes. I downloaded Plants vs Zombies, it worked for a while, then I ran Link2SD and move it. It starts to load, then goes right back to the desktop with no error.
I unlinked it, same issue, completely uninstalled link2sd, put a different SD card in and it does the same thing. this happened with another app, and once I moved it back to internal memory, it worked fine. Not so lucky with PvZ.
I have to assume that there is still something written in a file somewhere that is causing it, just no idea where to look.
I am running Thor 14.2 if that is any help
I also used Switch me, thinking that may help.
Any ideas are appreciated, at this point it is not so much that PvZ doesnt work, though my kids love it, it is that I would like to know why something doesnt work.
i have considered going into CWM and formatting internal memory, but that seems drastic.
Thanks in advance

Only thing i can think of is to look for a folder with the title or Developers name on it . Delete that then reinstall the game. if you are root go to system/apps and look for it there and delete ..
Other then that Post this in the Rom Developer's thread..
Hey All,
OK, this is driving me nuts, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a swarm of Project Gutenberg books. After searching around that interweb dealio, I have Cool Reader, Kindle for Android, and something else on the Fire, but none of them will find or display any type of book (DRM or no). All of which can read .mobi files.
The books are loaded in THREE different places on the Fire: a folder called Books, a folder called Documents, AND in the actual Kindle folder. None of the programs find them.
Moreover, when I have the Fire in USB mode and side loaded the books to those places, I can see them plain as day. But Titanium Backup can't find them, Script Manager can't find them, and ROM Toolbox can't find them, let alone any of the ereaders.
Any thoughts? This is making me nuts, heh.
Thank you!
This is the page I got when I Googled, "how to side load books on kindle fire"...
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39...books-show-up-under-books-on-the-kindle-fire/
The directory that you'll put your mobi books is Android\data\com.amazon.kindle\files. I have to reboot my Kindle after copying files there before they'll show up in the Kindle app.
Tried that.
Thanks for the heads up. I could SWEAR I did that 5 times. I'll check that particular site later and see if there's something I missed or whatnot.
So irritating. And thank you!
EDIT: No dice. Rebooted, everything, none of the readers find anything.
I'm stumped.
[SOLVED]
OK, fixed. After about the fifth reboot for other things, they finally showed up. Criminy.
Either way, it seems it just needed to be rebooted a few times. Never found out why. Scaplet had the location correct.
It's my birthday and the day of a big problem. So please assist ;-)
Been transfering movie files from PC to Tab via USB/MTP. The process was going fine until the last file to be copied. Then Tab lost connection. Reconnected the cable. Tried to copy the last file. Then Tab hung. Absolutely.
I disconnected USB cable and rebooted the TAB. It showed the Samsung animation, then "samsung" title, some gargabe at the bottom of the screen and .. that last forever.
Well, rebooted once again. Same situation, but screem garbage moved to top.
Well, 3rd reboot and .. whoa, eventually it booted!
But ... it asked me to introduce myself (e.g. enter e-mail, ...) and enter Google prefeences (just like with a fresh new tab). Skipped it (Hacker's keyboard was already not working - couldn't type in).
Then the desktop arrived. My God, it's absolutely brand new. All my settings and icons disappeared.
Went to Applications - they all seem to survive. But don't work. Almost all of them crash when you start them. Some very simple and built-in apps work though.
The Contacts disappear as well. Just like E-mail.
Remember I started this message with that I was transferring files? Well, they're not visible. Even their new folder is missing. But the storage is used exactly to the size of those files. All 10Gb. I tried to delete its parent folder (say, "/sdcard/Movies"). Free storage barely changed (only for the size of existing files).
Well, it's ruined. My lovely and so customized Tab. Damn.
So the very dumb questions are:
- What's that? Broken filesystem? How came? How to check/fix?
- How to save app settings (that's ALOT, include data for my kids' paid games)?
- Where Touch Wiz and other settings actually stored? I suspect there must be a system database (saw an error from "SQlite" when FBReader crashed).
Well, I could wipe everything, but not sure it would solve the filesystem problem and would take muuuuuuuuch time. And we don't have ICS rolled out for Russia yet, so that would be a very time wasting process.
p.s. Titanium backup doesn't start too. Moreover, everytime I install something it crashes again ;-)
You might try setting up your gmail account, the initial thing that you skipped. I'm just guessing, but perhaps you need the account active to use apps that might be linked to your account on the market.
Also, again, this is just a guess, but if your movies are DRM protected, is it possible you can't access because it thinks you are a different user?
Just some thoughts. Quite possibly useless, but maybe worth a shot. Good luck!
Later,
Jason
Go to settings/ apps and force stop Samsung Media Scanner... Worked on mine a while back, hopefully that will fix the problem for you... Good luck!

Something very similar happened to me when I was trying to watch a movie off of an sd card with the adapter. I ended up having to re-flash a stock image through Odin and re tweak everything (Rom, re-download apps...everything. Sucks that I lost all my progress in games etc. but it made me re-evaluate what apps I really used and needed so now it's running faster and smoother than ever. I even decided against using pershoot's overclocking kernel (for now) as everything feels so fresh and so clean, and it seems unnecessary.

Something got corrupted. It could have been app databases like you suggest. Sounds pretty reasonable. I hate to say it but you may want to hard reset and see if the issue persist. If it does persist after a hard reset then you have a defective device
Do you have a nandroid backup of your setup?
Hello all, I know someone asked this a while ago with no replies, but I thought maybe there are some other thoughts on the subject now.
I installed Mantano (finally got the right version thanks to this forum and certain members).
It works well, but will not remember DRM information. For both adobe and bn purchases, I can set it up with the login and password while it is running, but if it closes or the device reboots, registration is lost.
I tried playing in with permissions, I even started looking at the app and how it caches that info.
Does anyone have any advice as to where to begin and how to fix the issue?
I love this device, and if mantano worked, I could keep my books synced with my Nexus.
I did notice that though the os is completely different between the two devices, the permissions are different for the "sdcard" folder which has both the .adobe-digital-editions and the mantano folders. However, I cannot change the permissions on the sd card.
I think Mantano can write to the sdcard because it is saving the database and cloud info.
So, does anyone have any thoughts?
I thought maybe trying to get it to use the /media partition instead of the /SD card, but I am not sure how to do that (I can decompile apps on my p.c. and recompile and sign them).

Update, oddly enough, Aldiko does keep DRM info. I am going to look at the code and see what it is doing differently.
