I've just got my Nook today and by a stupid mistake, I accidentally format the internal memory of the nook to NTFS. At first the format process when smoothly, nothing happen, but when I unplugged the Nook, it start getting an error message and ask for restarting, after restart, it kept asking for restarting again! This become a loop. So, I try restoring it to stock by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914690
I try everything including the "last attempt" zip file. It did roll back everything but the internal memory still unavailable from inside the nook, I can copy file to it in windows (I use windows 7). The funny thing is I cannot format the internal memory in windows 7 again!
So please help me with this matter. I wish to be able to access to the internal memory again. Helps are very appreciated!!!
I almost desperate...
Try formatting it via Linux (use a live cd if you don't have an installation)

I have been trying to remove files from my SD-card by connecting my phone to my computer and remove files from the SD. So I delete the files, disconnect my phone and everything is ok but when I use AndExplorer I see that the files are still there. So I delete them with AndExplorer instead and everything is fine, but when I connect my phone to the computer again nothing has changed. I don't get any error when writing/reading to the SD but it doesn't seem to have any effect when I unmount and mount my phone again.
I have also been noticing some problems when starting the camera when it tries to "prepare sd" and save pictures wich I haven't had before. I think these problems started after my phone fell on the floor. Could it have been that the SD-card ejected it self and got corrupt?
How do I solve this? Should I buy a new SD or is there a way to fix this?
I'm running VanillaEclair 2.0.1 NAS if that's any help.
Okay, I found a similar thread on androidcommunity.

I will try to format the card.
I have a omnia 2 and have lost my 16GB internal storage and have tried everything to get it back. Tried nustorage manager and it dose not see the MMC card, tried connecting it as mass storage just so i can format it, tried connecting it to unbunto to see if i can get it to recover it and have no luck. In windows it detects the drive but fails to start it so i can format it or anything.
Is there any chance i can repair the phone without sending it in?
I just woke up one morning tried to access my music s2pwas taking it time to load and knowing the crappy omnia i just rebooted thinking the phone froze and lost the storage.
moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.
Ok So I am here because I've posted in other places in these forums with no replies yet, So it would be better to create a thread specific to my problem.
I have an Omnia 2, thinking of acquiring the Fryo 2.2 OS, not specific about wether I want what version but here are the problems I come across before being able to install it.
1- plugging in my phone under Settings -> My storage will not show my storage on my computer, having the external SD option will show my 16GB SD card.
2- Backing up. How do I back up my storage if I can't see it on my computer? When I turn on active sync a blank storage appears other than my SD card (assuming its the internal storage) but the size seems rather small (167MB). I've been reading peoples' posts and I'm supposed to have around 2GB I believe, and either way the files I'm trying to put inside for the android OS don't seem to fit there.
3- Partitions? How can I set those up for both the internal and external storage? Is there a program or feature to do so? My SD card under properties says FAT-32 so I'm not sure on how to do it IF I need to.
4- Using a W7 computer, so that knocks off any ubuntu installations, and also link is broken for Almars Beta 1 file that I was thinking of using for an SD installation.
Any help would be appreciated, I've had this phone since 2009 and I'm really hoping I can come across some help to make it work since I do want to keep this phone for a bit longer before I spend more money on a different cellphone!
Thank you!
Try out the new CyanogenMod from the link below.
http://windows.modaco.com/topic/346446-cyanogenmod-beta1-omnia-2-updated-02122011/
It has the SD Card auto installer, try it..
Back up data on your SD card first and then format your SD card within the phone and then use auto installer to install it.
As you said your computer wont detect the My Storage, try the steps below..
Transfer your data from My Storage to external SD Card, then connect your phone to computer using My Storage mode in settings.
Download Mini Tool partition wizard and format your My Storage (Mini tool partition will be able to see your My Storage even though your computer doesn't).
After format, your computer should be able to detect My Storage.
Now copy the downloaded android files to My Storage and run the auto installer as instructed in the ReadMe file inside the download package.
PS: Don't forget to backup the data on SD Card to your computer
Hope this helps
Ok so what you meant by taking things from my storage is going to file explorer and basically copying everything from the "my device" to the SD card?
Just want to make sure because if it doesent work then I haven't gotten anything backed up right.
Went to file explorer -> copied everything in the top folder which is application date, connMgr, doc and setttings, program files etc. is this all thats needed basically?
Thanks
P.S some of the things I tried taking like global.txt or exe couldn't be copied because of violations or some weird error, is it alright not to have those?
Update: My storage is still not revealed by the mini tool partition program, went under usb settings -> my storage and refreshed disk information, nothing shows up ugh it might be impossible for me to do this after all....
nobody can help me in regards to this? well then I guess a new cellphone is in order
grrrrr I should've gone with a iphone 3G or BB 9700 at the time instead...

I guess you will have to reflash the ROM again since your problem seems to be unsolvable. My suggestions is to flash a stock 6.5.3 ROM before you transfer the auto SD installer.
Hello there,
I have recently experienced a very serious problem in my Z1 running Lollipop. I lost every single file located in my internal and external sd card, such as photos, .obb files from /android folder and everything else. The problem occured when I connected the phone to PC via MTP, and deleted the, phenomenically, empty folder tree from my internal sd card '/emulated/legacy'. After that, Windows Explorer didn't respond, and after restarting my PC, I realised that both memories were empty. I immediately disconnected my phone, run a file explorer and experienced the same results. I even rebooted to TWRP, which approved the loss of my data.
What I think that caused the problem: The deletion of the 'empty' folder tree, as it corresponds with the one located in root/storage/ of my phone, and appears to be the mount location of both internal and external sd card, and which, somehow, made it way to the insternal sd card.
What I did: I immediately removed the MicroSD card, and powered off the phone, in order to prevent the 'free' space to be overwritten. After that I created two system dumps. One of userdata.img (mmcblk0p12), and one of the whole system mmcblk0, in order to try recovering my data. Then, I installed Ubuntu and TestDisk to check the two dumps. What the program recovered were the thumbnails from the /DICM/.thumbnails folder, some images and videos from programs cache (such as ads), and even some tagged faces from pictures of the Album application, but not the pictures themselves. I also tried the same process, but by using Recuva on Windows but nothing changed. Finally, what I tried, was mounting the insternal memory as mass storage under Ubuntu, by using Go-mptfs, but I wasn't succesfull as I experienced problems during the installation and device mounting process. I didn't find any scripts for Lollipop in order to swap the two partitions on the device itself.
Is there anything else I can do?
Hello everyone,
newbee here!
Well before I go on I want to tell you that I searched all over the thread but didn't find similar problem. Anyway if there was please send me a link to see how can I solve my problem.
I have a NSTG which was rooted before I had bought it. How it was rooted and which ROM version it was I do not know. One week ago when I opened it to continue reading a book it booted and started the registering proccess. I realized that something wrong has happened to it. The registering process failed and I followed instructions from this link to restore it to factory state.
Now I have stock ROM 1.1.5 but I'm looking forward to root it. I came across the ROM 1337 and I want to use it for the rooting proccess.
First I have to manually update it to 1.2.1 (following the instructions from B&N site) and then to root it but my current problem is that I cannot access the internal NOOK folder from my computer.
I did the restore proccess two times because I thought I did something wrong but with the same results. I even had a chat session with B&N support clerk and he assured me that I should be able to access the internal NOOK folder from my PC. Don't worry I didn't tell him I had a rooted Nook. So now I cannot copy the .zip file to the internal memory and manually invoke the update procedure. When I insert an SD card into the reader I can access it but not the internal memory.
I remember I could do this before the problem appeared. Anyway in My Computer in Windows 7 64-bit I can see the SD card and another drive. When I try to open that other drive I get a message "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk F:"
I tried to insert my reader in another computer but the problem remains.
I'm posting a picture of the partitions:
So some help would be much appreciated!
I guess I have posted in the wrong section.
Please, Mod,
move my previous post to the "Help thread"
/system/etc/vold tells the UMS what to mount
It should mount /media and /sdcard as two disks.
You should be able to see this as two disks in your desktop file explorer.
Does /media even exist?
