Is possible to restore the partition inside the Nook? - Nook Touch General

I tried to root my nook touch with both methods in this forum, but now I have the device locked on the screen "rooted forever."
before rooting my nook I made a backup copy, which is coming of 1,962,934,272 bytes, also the backup files and folders are written in strange symbols, there are no letters.
Then I formatted the sdcard and also the internal memory to the nook, and now when I connect to the pc nothing happens, everything stopped, all dead! (on windows)
I also tried with the image "nookrestore.img" but nothing.
When I insert the memory with an image loaded with win32imager I hold down the power button, the screen refresh and then nothing happens, no microsd does not turn off either.
How can I reflash the internal memory of the nook?
Please help me, I would not throw it after about 1 week!
I used an 8GB Class 4 microSD card and a reader.

Go figure, you removed everything, including loader

It's not possible to trigger factory restore when you erased the loader, boot and restore image..

Write Noogie.img to a SD card and boot your NST with that.
Then use the instructions found here to write your backup back to the NST (second half of the post)
Read and understand that post before continuing, then make sure you have the correct tools (MiniTool Partition Wizard & Roadkil's free DiskImager)

uh-oh .. I missed this part!
What method did you use to backup your NST?
For the above method to work your backup needs to be a image created with DiskImager. If you used some other method you're most likely hosed!

Hello, thanks for the help.
I did follow up jokala's tutorial and I used Roadkil's DiskImage 1.6.
I restored the backup on the memory nook properly, always with Roadkil's DiskImage 1.6, now when I connect the device to my PC (Windows 7 64bit) I can see a partition with "miniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition", the file system is "fat32 "Capacity = 1.83gb, used = 1.62 gb 214.31 mb = unused, type = primary, status = active, but the name of the partition is" k! € ° Å ¡Ã Â ³ aS {"
Is normal to have this label? and fat32 partition?
ps.
apparently with Windows 7 64-bit there is a bug that prevents the writing of 'file.img on usb device, error 5 sector 0 and I solved with this program

No, you should see 7 partitions.
Again, how did you make your backup?

This has to be old info, both my laptops are Win7 64bit and I've had no problems with using DiskImager to write to the NST with them.

I formatted the microSD format, the image I wrote "noogie.img on microSD with" win32diskimager "rather than" DiskImage 1.6 ", because I could not write on the memory cards for the problem that I wrote in my previous post (" error # 5 ") and then placed in the nook, I connected the device to the PC and turned it on.
I've seen "rooted forever" on the screen of the computer nook and I created the file "backup.img" with "DiskImage 1.6".
This is the procedure I did, maybe I was wrong to use two different programs?
I'm reading that i can rebuild the partition table, and can be modified to have more storage space link.
I'm thinking of this solution, recreate the partitions and copy files and folders manually by an original copy of the operating system of the Nook, but I do not know what are the data that must be unique.
What are the data that I need to recover?

Moved to General, didn't seem development related.

SOLVED
Ok I was able to solve the problem, with the help of the indispensable Ros87, who reconstructed the image of my backups corrupted, without him I threw my nook.
summary:
In practice I have formatted the partition of the nook and my backup was corrupted, so when the device connected to the PC with the microsd "Noogie" nothing happened.
Solution:
I opened the nook (it is very easy to open it) and I disconnected the battery to make sure it was off, then I connected to the PC a couple of hours to charge the battery is discharged during the night of all, I do not know but because the day after my nook had completely drained the battery!
just connected to the PC (Windows 7 64bit) I have heard the typical sound that windows makes when you connect an external device, but I did not see the device in the Device / storage devices, but with "MiniTool Partition wizard" I saw the partition of the nook, so I deleted (with "MiniTool Partition Wizard") and followed the guide to restore the backup image on windows, in the end it was fine!
I'm happy!

[HOWTO] Partition SD card

Introduction
Transcend and several other manufacturers make 4GB SD cards these days. They're great if you use your HTC device as MP3 player or Camera, as they offer enough space for thousands of songs and pictures.
My device, the HTC Universal, handles them just fine. However some applications, most notably the Camera application, don't like it.
Why some apps don't like it
The main problem here is the way in which they calculate the free space.
the processor is 32-bit, which means it can handle numbers ranging from 0 to 2^32. 4GB is exactly 2^32 bytes, so that shouldn't be the problem.
The problem is that applications sometimes handle the number as signed, which means that it differentiates between negative and positive numbers.
With signed numbers, the last bit is actually used as the sign (positive or negative), and the new range stretches from -2^31 (-2GB) to 2^31 (2GB).
Up to 2^31, the unsigned numbers and signed numbers are the same, but after that the last bit is set in unsigned numbers, which means that if treated as signed it will be seen as a negative number.
So if you have more than 2GB free, and the application mistreats the number of bytes free as being signed, the application actually thinks you have less than 0 bytes free
How to fix this?
There are several ways to fix this. The most simple one would be to have a simple dummy file so you always have less than 2GB free. This works for the camera application, but any miscoded application taking a look at the actual size of the disk will still screw up
The other solution is partitioning your SD-card. This means that you actually split the SD-card up into several virtual SD-cards of smaller sizes. So one SD-card of 4GB could be seen as four of 1GB (my set up).
This way you still have 4GB of storage, but applications will not get confused as it's split up into several chunks.
WARNING
Before you start remember to back up the current data on your SD-Card. the procedure will completely erase your SD-card. You might be able to retain the data by using partitionmagic's resize partition features, but you'd have to test yourself.
Also I'd like to mention that although I tested this procedure myself, I can't garantuee it will work for you. If it renders your SD-card useless, I can not be held responsible.
My set-up
This tutorial was written using:
- T-Mobile MDA Pro (HTC Universal)
- Windows XP SP2 MCE (equivilant to Pro)
- Transcend 150x 4GB SD-Card
It might work with a different set-up, but I can't garantuee anything
Requirements
- Windows Mobile 5
- WM5Storage (do not use CardExport2, you need the ability to turn off "Removable Class"!)
- Big SD-Card
Let's get started
Just follow the following steps
First, make a backup of your SD-card! the following procedure will erase it!
Next, install WM5Storage. I will attach a copy of version 1.53 with this post, but you can get the latest version here.
Just copy the .cab file to your device, and execute it from the file explorer. Just make sure you install on the main memory, as the SD-card becomes inaccessible during the procedure
Start WM5Storage. On my device, WM5Storage did not put anything in the start menu or the today screen, so I had to launch it through the file-explorer. You can find it at My Device\Program Files\WM5Storage\.
Be sure to untick both "Read-Only" and "Removable Class". Optionally you can set it to light a LED on read/write, but that's not neccesarry for this procedure.
Disconnect your device from your computer.
Insert the SD-Card if you haven't done so already
Hit "Activate" (bottom, right)
Re-connect your device to your computer.
From now on all steps are done from the PC
Wait until windows has recognized all "new hardware", and you have new a new hard-drive listed in "My Computer".
Open the control panel (Start -> Control Panel)
Go to either Performance and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools (category view) or directly to Administrative Tools (Classic View)
Double-Click Computer Management
Go to Computer Management (Local) -> Storage -> Disk Management (might take a little while to find all drives)
In the bottom view, find the disk that has your SD-card in it (You can find out by looking at the contents through "My Computer", or by seeing which disk is added once you plug in your WM device)
Right click the partition (white block ), and choose for Delete Partition
In the just created "Unallocated" space, right click, and choose for New Partition
In the wizard:
choose for a Primary Partition
For size, enter 1024MB (or if there is no more remaining, just the remainder). Ofcourse you can also choose your own size
Assign any drive-letter you want (or none if you only want it to be accessible on the WM Device).
Format the partition as Filesystem FAT32, Allocation unit size Default, and pick any volume label you want (You will only see the volume label on the PC, on the WM Device it will just be "Storage Card X". Also tick "Perform a quick format"
Wait until the bottom line in the new partition reads "Healthy" (wait for it to format basically )
Create as much partitions as you'd like (just resume from right-clicking and picking New partition)
You're done partitioning! If you want, you can fill the contents of the SD-Card now before you deactivate WM5Storage
Disconnect the device from the computer
Next few steps on the Device
Click "Deactivate" (same place as "Activate" was before )
Close WM5Storage
You're all done! have fun with the multiple storage cards you have now
Afterword
I've put quite a bit of time in this tutorial, I'd appreciate if you at least told me if it worked
If you can spare a few coins, I'd also appreciate a donation. You can donate with PayPal to "[email protected]".
nice post, i'm bloging it right away 8)
I have a 2GB SD card. My o2 mini prompt me to format it when inserted. After formatted. o2 mini shows 0.01 MB only.
"My computer using card reader shows 14KB and from Disk Management, it shows 1.86 GB Free. I believe this "1.86GB Free" means unallocated space.
I right click on the unallocated space, but there is no option for me to choose a Primary Partition. It only has 3 options.
"New Logical Drive...",
"Delete Partition...", which is grayed out and
"Help".
Help! How to allocate this 1.86GB and format it to fat32?
Any kind soul please help me get this 2GB SD card to work with my o2 mini. 1.86GB and not 0.01MB.
Thanks
is there anyway to rename the partition with a different name? i've tried a lot of ways but in vain... the 2nd partition always follow the name of the 1st partition... any help please?
thanks in advance...
non
After having lots of problems with my SD card, I already thought that partitioning possibly could solve the problem and, using your howto, I can use my 2 GB SD-card without any problems.
Thanks!
ive done this on a 512 sd and using wm03, used a card reader to do the partition.
actualy worked well for a while if you have alot of files to store in one of the partitions, but ended up being a real pain when you wanted to re-do it
Really nice post and easy too.
thanks
hi i tried it.....realyy wonderful....thanks a lot for posting this one...keep posting things lik tis.....
cheers,
Siva....
thx for this tips!
I used it for my 2GB MiniSD card, but now I would like to keep my TomTom maps on the second partition, but TomTom can't recognize the map. (Storage Card2\)
I tried by editing the 'CurrentMap.dat' file and set the path to the Storage Card2 but still TomTom doesn't want to read this second partition. Anyone a solution for that?
thx!!
Nice tutorial. I have problem with reading of my 4GB SD card. Now I'm using two partitions (1GB for cameras and 3GB for my PocketPC). Thank you
I have been trying this but all I seem to be able to do is partition the card but only able to format the first partition s the rest of the card is rendered useless
Any help appreciated
Great tutorial, will link it up from my related articles!
partitioning 4GB help
Hi,
I've followed you instructions (great job, btw) HOWTO partition SD card....using the file download WM5torage.cab For some reason, I cannot get past the part after clicking on ACTIVATE immediately after inserting the SD Card. My MDA (TMobile Wiz) keeps locking up and I have to do a soft reset. I've tried reformatting the 4GB Mini SD card a few times and I've actually gotten different results. My last format (FAT32) shows (on PC) 1930MB free and 1931MB used which befuddles me. I formatted it again and it showed 3.78 GB free. Perhaps you or someone could assist me if possible. I bought the Mini SD card off eBay from a reputable seller. It was suppossed to be a Samsung 4GB Mini SD card and I was a bit surprised when it arrived as a SanDisk. Any idea as to why the phone keeps locking up? I also wonder if there might be an issue with the card...I examined the back of the card where the contacts are with magnification and the sides of the black composite show traces of perhaps an epoxy or bonding agent...I think SanDisks QC is better than that. To make things easier, you can also email me at [email protected]
I have cingular 8125 and vista. I tried to use the program wm5storage but when I go to computer management there is not recognition of the 4 gig sd, nor is there any recognition of an sd when using my pda. Anyone know how to get the phone to recognize it (I tried reformatting) so that I can partition. Thanks
I have had some success with 4 GB cards from IntegrityElectronics and TopRam on my T-Mobile MDA running latest TMO ROM.
The problem I am running into a when using apps that are installed on the card and write dat to the card, other files get corrupted and render those applications unsuable. If I limit use to playing MP3 and videos, thing tend to stay stable.
Has anyone else observed this behavior?
Ok, I used the storage program to access the card. Then with the disk
management on XP I formatted the card as FAT for the entire 4gb card.
It looks like it worked. I copied all my files to it. Everything is running.
I have done several restarts with no problems...
Hope it stays so.
Good luck folks. I will report back if anything weird happens.
Ok. So it all got completely screwed.
I guess it got corrupted. My guess is when
I started using the camera. All of a sudden
there are only blank folders on the storage
card with a period as the names. Tons of them.
Nothing else. Any ideas?
And now I cannot get wm5storage to work.
It keeps telling me that something is accessing
the card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
It seems the problem was that there was a hidden Recycler folder on the storage card that would not let me use wm5storage. Probably from
Resco File Explorer... Deleted that with my PC...
Somehow magically my pc read the card. I don't know how to explain
that seeing as it was formatted in FAT not FAT32...
Then wm5storage worked and I paritioned it into 2 halves.
Lets see how that goes.
I hope, well.
This may be a silly question but...
Can't you plug the micro SD into a card reader and use Windows XP Disk Management tool (or any other partintioning tool) to create the partition on the storage card? What's WM5Storage actually doing?
SG
Anyone? Can't one just soley use the Disk Management tool in Windows to partition a SD card?

[Solved] Accidentally deleted files in Nook STR's boot partition

I rooted my Nook STR, but I accidentally deleted all the files in the Nook's own boot partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p1). This is the partition labeled boot that is mounted when you boot with noogie.img from nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rooting. Unfortunately, I didn't have a backup.
Now the nook doesn't boot except when booting from an sd card. I can actually boot into android by using the touchnooter sd card, and most things (launcher, apps, nook stock reader) work!
The only problem is the system doesn't recognize the external sd card as mounted, so some apps won't work. Also when I connect the nook to the pc via usb, the nook drive doesn't show up on my pc, so I can't side-load other books.
I'd still like to somehow repair my nook's boot partition. I can't enter into factory recovery mode since the device can't boot on it's own.
1. Would it work if I copy other nook's files in their boot partition? Is any of the file specific to each nook? Can anyone provide their files for me to try?
I'm on firmware 1.0.1.
2. Would applying the latest firmware update 1.1.0 rebuild the boot files? I tried to manually apply the update, but after
putting the update.zip file in the /media folder, nothing happens. Besides waiting for the OTA update, is there anyway to force the update?

Edit: Solved by the solution ros87 provided!

Stuck on Rooted Forever, NST not recoginsed by PC

Decided to try a rooted NST again so I backed up my non-rooted image using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15115162&postcount=2.
Didn't like the rooted experience so I tried to restore using the instructions above, got as far as deleting all of the partitions. When I tried to restore the image using Win32diskimager I realised that my Win7 laptop was no longer reading the nook. I've tried other PCs but I've not had any look in getting any of them to recognise the NST.
So my NST is now stuck on Rooted Forever and is not recogised by my computer so I can't restore my backup. Any help would be appreciated.
Tried plugging it in to the laptop this morning and pressing the Power and n button together. The Rooted Forever went away, so the screen is now blank and the light that was previously showing only green turned to orange.
Continuous pressing of the Power button causes the light to turn green, screen to flash, then turn back orange. NST still not being recognised by the laptop however. Help?
I'm unclear on exactly what you did.
In any case, there is almost no reason to ever delete partitions on anything.
Put noogie on an SD. Insert SD. Boot. Connect on USB.
Use Win32DiskImager to write your backup onto the Nook.
Remove SD. Boot.
Thanks for your reply. I deleted the partitions because of
To restore your backup:
(Boot Nook with the noogie sd)
Run Partition Wizard and delete all partitions on your Nook. Careful in disk selection here, wiping the wrong drive could be catastrophic! This is required, because DiskImager won't write to a partitioned drive.
Okay I tried what you said. I'm seeing Removable Disk in My Computer but clicking it gives me Please insert a disk into Removable Disk. Win32diskimager is showing no devices.
Win32diskimager doesn't care at all what partitions are on your device.
It writes physical data onto a device.
How is it that the Window (File) Explorer is showing a drive letter and W32DI can't see it?
Is the Nook showing "Rooted Forever"?
I believe noogie does two mounts but the second one is inactive.
Check your desktop for all drive letters. Use "Disk Management".
Yes nook is showing Rooted Forever.
In Disk Management, I'm seeing 'Disk 1 Removable 1.83 Online' and it shows 1.83 Unallocated. And 'Disk 2 Removable (F No Media'. (F is the letter drive I'm seeing in Windows File Explorer.
Well, that's your problem, deleting the partitions stops Windows from recognizing it enough to give it a letter.
In disk management see if you can assign it a drive letter (on Disk1)
If you can't, do a quick format in disk management.
It doesn't matter what kind or how as long as you can assign a drive letter when you are done.
Yes, that was exactly the problem. Restored backup and it's up and running now.
Thanks for all the help, now I know what not to do lol.

[Q] External SD card problems

I have spent over 8 hours yesterday researching, reading posts, trying to partition my SD card for an A500 with:
1. 2 Partitions
2. FAT32
3. Primary
I don't have an andriod phone so it is not an option to format it by connecting the phone to the computer. I have rooted my tablet and installed Titanium backup, android assistant, superuser and link2sd. The problem that I am having is the tablet is not recognizing either the first or second partition because it does not have a drive letter. When I assisgn it a drive letter and set up all the specs listed above and click apply, the program tells me it has successfully completed but then immediately replaces the second primary partition drive letter with an *. From my hours of reading yesterday I understand that my computer does not recognize a second primary partition so therefore replaces the drive letter with an *. I have tried mini tool partition wizard and easeus and both produce the same results. PLEASE HELP. Thanks in advance
i'm fairly sure your card MUST be formatted using android....
u could try SDformatter but it didnt work for me,
not sure if it can be done thru linux, maybe someone who knows more about these things can advise you
what is it you are trying to achieve with the 2 partitions - there maybe other options available to you

[Q] I deleted partitions and my nook got "bricked"

I'm so desperate because I deleted the partitions from my nook with these instructions :
---you can google it and the first link it is--->> "how-to-backup-and-restore-nook-glow-and-nook-simple-touch"
So... I think my backup wasn't well written :S or something like that.
When I deleted the partitions, EVERYTHING went to hell... My nook is actually freeze, my computer doesn't recognize it at all when I plug the cable. My nook just turn the tiny light on, what means it is charging.
---------->Now, my doubt is: is there any hope to my case? how can I fix it? )= how can i make my lap recognizes the nook reader?
Is there any backup file to write on a sd card?
I press the button to turn it on but anything happens.
I've tried nookmanager(this one couldn't make a restore backup nor factory.zip) and the "alpha format touch" (this one tells there's a lack o "log", and a few more files.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
So if you followed those directions you should have ended up with a file on your desktop about 1.9 gigabytes, right?
(If you have a DVD burner, burn that to a DVD, it will make me feel better.)
Why, oh, why do people delete partitions?
You still have the SD card with the Noogie on it, right?
That will still boot up saying "Rooted Forever"?
Now use WinImage (or whatever you used) to write the image back to the Nook.

YES, I hvae the noogie in my sdcard
I also have my file with 1.8gb but i've tried to write it on the sd card but I don't know what happened, it seems like the file was empty :S because when I put the sd card into the nook and try to turn it on the screen still says:" Rooted for ever", even if I press the button a few seconds (maybe 30 seconds)
If I try to open the 1.8gb file with winimage, there's something like the image
it takes more?
You don't write your 1.9 GB file to an SD card, you write it to the Nook internal memory.
With the Nook booted up on the SD card with Noogie, connect USB and use your utility to copy the 1.9 GB to the Nook.
What you showed in your snapshot does not look promising.
You might have done the backup after the Nook was trashed or else corrupted the backup.
Be careful with that 1.9 GB file, you do not want to lose it.

Thank you for your advice.
Maybe you are right: I didn't create the backup img. as it should be.
Now, i'm wondering if there anybody who wants to share a backup image from a "good" nook and mail it me.
Do you know someone ? T___T Please!!, I'd really appreciate it!
You really don't want to use an image from another device as are there are device specific things on the image. Slow down and don't be in a hurry to find another image yet. You might not be in as bad of shape as you think. 1.8GB is the right size for a backup so you may be OK. As Renate said - DON'T LOSE IT.
Now a couple of things. You said you wrote the image to the SD card and rebooted the device with the SD card in the device. As Renate pointed out this isn't how you restore. And once you finish restoring you reboot without the SD card in the device - if you've got a Noogie card in the device it will always boot the Rooted Forever.
I question whether the WinImage screen shot you posted is actually from your backup. With the size partitions its showing a 1.8GB image file seems quite a bit on the small side. In any event it can't hurt at this point to try a proper restore to the Nook and see if it works. Have you followed the instructions on the page you poitned to to restore your backup:
3. Plug your Nook into your computer with the USB cable.
4. ... instructions on deleting partitions... You already did this, no need to do it again
5. To restore, open Roadkil’s DiskImage software. Use the “Write Image” tab this time and select the Nook Drive from the drop-down list. Select the source file, the backup image you created earlier, and hit start to restore.
6. When the restore is finished, you can disconnect your Nook from the computer and remove the noogie microSD card and reboot.
Try it and report back.
Actually I realy want a nook backup, another backup ( I think there's not another worst thing than this one =s ), because I've tried lots of times the steps you have described and dont work. Actualy my pc doesn't recognize when I plug the nook in.
**When I do the step #5 my nook doesn't response, just appears the well known image: "rooted for ever", but does not turn on, even if I press the button for a long time**
Please, I think I really need another backup image )=
Well, I hope your advice.
