SD card wont stay mounted - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running cm 7 full emmc. Everything works fine till I reboot and my SD card wont mount without formatting. Its a sandisk 16gig not sure if size is the problem or I messed up the rooting. So used to adb rooting on phones this was a weird for me.

Did you format the card in Windows? Sandisk 16Gb are good cards. Used them myself. Pull the card and format with this on your desktop.
If you rooted via ADB you changed files (and installed SU) on the eMMC so the uSD should be OK.

I formatted in the NC it sees it and works fine till reboot only problem is I like to backup roms with clock word and it erases backups if I when I do it.

When u reboot does it take u to cwm clock work mod? If so...turn off the nook then take out the card, turn it on without the card and when its at the home screen pop it back in. Im going to buy another SD card because of this reason but not sure how to format it
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom

Just format it in a card reader with Windows.

What's in the content of the uSD and what do you try to do with it?
1. Intention to use it as pure personal stuff?
2. Intention to use it as flashable CwMR card?
If 1., just reformat the uSD. Using Windows is fine. MiniTool Wizard is OK.
If 2., suggest to recreate. With it, you can make a Nandroid backup as well as using it to install/update ROMs/Gapps

how did I waste my sd card from booting android?

I was using my phone as usual pandora, browsing, etc. I was connected to computer via usb and usb storage was on. I disconnected without turning off usb storage and immediately realized my mistake. android tripped out kept restarting and would barely make it past cyanogen splash before restarting again untill I pulled the battery. now that card will not boot haret loads but gets stuck on black screen with linux penguin. not just the build I disconnected usb from any build on sd is a no go.
so I backed up all my files on the sd card reformatted the card and restored files. still no go. now the same hyperdroid 1.6 folder I had on 16g card (first) is booting fine on another 8g sd card?
how can I restore my 16g? it functions fine in any other way. even backtrack 4 installation is booting when using as usb hdd(my phone is the micro usb adapter)
before Im grilled I did search however I may not have used correct keywords.

You may try deleting your data image and giving it a fresh one with a complete load. If you use titanium backup from market you can restore all your apps.
There may be something in the data.img that wont allow you to boot.
I could be way off but its worth a try. Best of luck.

I had something similar happen when I ran out of power while rebooting. Formatting in windows didn't fix it. Formatting using the SD formatter couldn't complete. Eventually, I did a wipe disk using another program. Then used SD formatter and it worked. Hope that helps.
I tried your method however I cannot for the life of me figure out titanium backup. I created an update.zip using program however I cannot get build into recovery mode also I cannot find even a hint of how to restore the backup I made in the program or using google.

can you please share name of program you used to wipe card? also did you reformat after using mentioned program with computer or format option on phone either winmo or android?
thanks to both of you guys for info I'm now compelled to learn how to use titanium backup there's things in my hyperdroid 1.5 I'd like to restore.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I'd all your apps are backed up then get it booted into android start titanium backup and look for the batch option in the menu. Then choose the option to restore user apps and go from there.

Switching sd card..

I want to switch to a 16gb sd card and i copied everything i have in my old one to the new but it never passes the logo screen. What are the steps necessary to do this successfully?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
I do not really have an answer to your question, but I did discover something cool about stock FroYo.
I had moved a bunch of apps to the SD card (via the official way) and was somewhat concerned about installing a larger SD card as I was unsure if my apps would copy over properly or more importantly be recognized as being present on the SD card at all.
I copied all DATA from my old SD card to my new SD card and booted up the device, at first none of my moved apps appeared to be installed, but after about 3 or 4 minuets all my previous installed apps populated in the launcher.
Color me impressed,

Im using a miui rom and i copied everything to the new sd and then when i turn on the phone i can see the miui logo but then it geys stuck there...
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
i think its because some of miuis stock applications are installed onto the sd card. try making an ext partiton and then reflashing the same version of miui you have without wiping and it should boot up fine again without losing all your data
That should not be an issue unless you are using official stock OS or you have previously forced moving system apps to sd...

You keep saying you copied everything over. That's probably not true. Check to make sure all the hidden files were copied over too, and that any extra partitions have been created and copied over too.
If you're using an ext partition, your pc probably won't see or copy it...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Ok so how do i partion. can someone explain that to me. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
You would've had to set up the ext partition yourself, so if you don't know how to do it, I'm guessing you don't have an ext partition...

Yep i guess i dont.... well i'll find someone to do it for me

You partition you sd card in the recovery, there's an option for that.

Easiest way to partition an sd card with ext and fat flavors is via Linux... grab your favorite usb bootable linux (like ubuntu or mint) if you're not already made the switch, boot your notebook via usb, stick your sd card and partition as you like it...

[Q] U8800 (not Pro) 2.3.5 beta 1.0 issues

Does anyone have issues with the SD card after the upgrade?
It says that my 16Gb Sandisk format is unsupported but it fails to format and mount it.
Do you have the chance to format the card directly with your phone instead with the computer?

I tried doing it using Settings/Storage/Format via the phone as well but that failed.
Using the SD Formatter from the SD Association worked where Windows Quick Format failed. Never had that before.

Maybe you can search the SDCard in the bin and try to format with the SD Formatter
I had that happening to me before also. This stopped happening after a couple reflashes of the international version. SD mounting on recovery is still broken though.
Too bad the rom never stays operational for more than 1 or 2 hours... it always ends up in a reboot and bootloop until full wipe.
HI
I have updated new 2.3.5 but my screan keeps restarting after Huwei Icon
happens to me also.. now my fone can't read SD card.....
My phone doesn't turn off after i reverted to 2.2.2! When i turn it off, it reboots only. And that is happening everytime! And when i restored a backup, the phone boots only into recovery and then also everytime!

Just so people don't think it happens to everyone, I'm using a 16GB microSD card and it mounts just fine.
Before, when I had an Optimus Boston (Gigabyte GSmart G1305) with CM7 (2.3.*) and the card failed to mount, but after some upgrade it started working. With the 2.1 stock ROM it worked.
Can't tell if the problem was fixed by the CM crew or came from the vanilla android code though.

SD Card constantly remounts as being "read-only"

It's has really been the pain in the arse. Really.
I use Lord's Ice Cold Sandwich. This happens occasionally, when I tried to download SD data for a game, the SD card remounts as being read-only.
I tried full-wipe flash, format SD card with Disk Utility of Ubuntu, then reflash it with Android's utility. I tried unmounting sdcard in CWM. I tried fix permission option in CWM. Nothing helps so far.
Thanks in advance!!! :angel:
There's an app on the Play Shop which claims to fix this, give it a try

I actually tried that. The other day I backed up stuff than formatted the thing with Disk Utility tool of Ubuntu. I then went extreme, formatted it again on Android.
I guess the app above might help. The thing is I'm still under 18 for a credit card, hence gotta wait another year to be eligible.... mannnnn
Apparently, the SD card is still in R/W mode, it isn't til I start download data for games, download music, use dolphin... that it becomes read only. The process usually goes for half the bar, than stop.

Are you able to flash your SD card? If you are having the same files after the formatting which you had then I don't think anything will work rather than replacing your SD card

[Q] hudge problem with sd card

Hello. I have a hudge problem with my phone. Somehow it automatically unmounts and remounts my sd card for no reason no matter what rom I use. Sometimes it unmounts my sd card and don't mount for a month. Sometimes it gives damaged sd card error and asks to format it but when I insert my card to tablet and it detects no errors. What could be the problem? Can anyone help me fix this?

You must clearing ext partition in recovery and format sdcard. + set min cpu fraquancy on 245Mhz.

If it does happen with all roms you've tested, including stock 2.1 then your SD card is propably faulty. You formatted it under Windows?

I can't try stock rom because it says that my recovery is to new. SD card can't be faulty because it is new. I had other sd card earlier but my phone didn't recognized it so I bought new. And i have formatted under Windows.

Check the SD card under different phone, most simple as it can get.

Which ROM are you using?
Now using cm9
Sent from my Acme TB02 using xda app-developers app
Then you have to check different roms and kernels to see under which your SD card works properly. I suggest trying newest AOSP / SDSL or CM 7.2 by Tejas build three.
Maybe is the slot of your SD Card, Why?:
Using every ROM, same device and same problem = device
Used other device and everything ok = the "other" device
So, definitely your slot on your device is bad. Good Luck!

Which cwm version?

Just delete all partitions and make new (FAT32) with some Live CD if U don't have Linux on PC (for best get gParted Live).
Next put it in Your phone and partition again with CWM 6.0, or just use fat32.
Some customized roms mess up sd card if it has /swap.
Noticed this in some 2.3 custom rom, but don't remember name of it.
