I am trying to put a more recent nightly build on my sd card and I am not able to copy the zip file to the sd card. Here is the process I have been trying.
Remove the card from nook
put the mini sd card into the adapter connect to computer
computer recognizes the sd card
drag the zip file to the sd card
then I get the error "the destination you have specified does not exist..."
I have tried other usb ports on my computer and get the same error. Any help would be appreciated.
My best guess is badcard reader. The first one I purchased died within the month and if I recall correctly gave me the same error.

Hey. I have owned my Wildfire for a week now so I am still a noob. I wanted to know if it's possible to install a custom ROM on the wildfire without an SD card so basically do it through USB. I have seen some phones can do it with Amon RA recovery but I don't think it is possible for the Wildfire.
Thanks.
Dont think it is although why would you want to do it without? The wf comes with a sd card

Because when i put my SD card in the adapter and put it into my laptop it cant open the card and asks "do you want to format" and when i choose yes it says "unable to complete format" so im screwed with that SD card
Use paragon partition n look on YouTube 4 a video that will sort it out n will fix that error

Still dont work its not even showing up on my computer now ive probably ****ed it somehow but on my phone it says 1.83gb free space. weird.
Dose paragon partitioning show ur sd at all if not erm check to make sure ur SD card reader is ok bu using a different SD card
if paragon partitioning is showing ur sd card.
is ur SD card signed as active and does it have a volume letter as these thing will stop I from formating the SD card

It showed my SD card then when I tried to format it would only show my hard drive and plus the free version does not let you do anything to the card.
Try Panasonic SD Formatter:

E: Probably unrelated, but, make sure your card reader supports SDHC cards.
1.What happens when you connect the phone via USB and choose mount as disk drive?
2.When you use the SD card adapter, and right click on the SD card's drive letter if there's an option to "open as portable device" try that also try updating your laptops card reader drivers.
3.Use bluetooth to transfer the ROMS?
4. If you're already rooted, try formatting SD card via ROM MAnager.
As far as I know you cannot install custom firmware (a "ROM") without an SD card.
You don't have to use your SD card directly from the computer to install custom firmware. You can use file storage mode on your phone's USB connection or adb to access your SD card through your phone on your computer.
To install CyanogenMod with the help of adb, follow the steps in hxxp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Wildfire:_Full_Update_Guide and put the update.zip into the root of your SD card with this command:
Code:
adb push update-cm-6.1.0-buzz-signed.zip /sdcard/
You need to have your phone connected to your computer, have the appropriate drivers installed to do this and have USB debugging enabled on your phone. Documentation on adb is available at hxxp://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
An alternative way to the above adb method is to enable USB phone storage mode when you connect your phone to your computer and transfer the update.zip file to your SD card.
Hi guys thanks for all your help I have fixed my problem. All I did was use a windows 7 laptop and it worked.
Hi there. I'm new here and have been trying to absorb as much info as I can and learn. I've been trying to follow the verygreen guide to create a bootable SD card. However there's a step there that's not working as written.
The guide says to eject the SD card once the generic*.img has been imaged to the SD card and then re-insert it into the computer. The following step is to copy the ROM that I want to use (either the 7.1 beta or nightly). The problem I'm having is that when I go to re-insert the SD card, nothing pops up in My Computer.
Did I do something wrong?
Thanks very much in advance,
fuul4nook
P.S. This is a Kingston 4GB class 4 card that was connected to the PC with a USB adapter.
You may have... I managed to kill one making images and using them in my nook. If you know what drive its going into when you insert it try to format it and start over. If it doesn't format, you're screwed. If it does, just do the whole card image thing over again.
What you can try is pop-it into either your Nook or another Android device and try to format it through there.
I've had many instances where Windows would just not recongnize and SD card and the above at least put it back to its initial state.
Thanks for the responses. I was able to mount the SD card on another computer and on a Linux desktop, but my own refused to bring up the drive letter. I ultimately did as you guys suggested and reformatted the card on a different machine and started over.
Appreciate the help!
I have the sd card which came with the phone.
There was a virus in there.
I removed the virus and formatted the card.
Now the phone recognizes the card.I can transfer files via bluetooth.
But i am not able to connect it to the computer.when i tap mount,it says sd card mounted but it doesn't show up in the computer.
I tried mounting it wid my bro's galaxy s2 and it mounted........plz someone help me.......
PS: I AM ON STOCK ROM
Have you formatted sd by your phone or pc? Format by device is correct one I guess for this matter.
The other night I got a NC with 3.1 and decided to root it and flash cm7 onto it. This all was going fine until after the rom flashed and I booted up the device I have micro SDCard 2GB in the NC and it isn't able to read the SD card it says I need to put one in. Every time I go to download something off the browser it says I need an SD card to download this so and so file. I used my phone SD card in the NC to see if that will work and same problem persists. I have .apk files on my SD card I would like to run on the NC but can't get them off the SD card. This NC belongs to my brother who I was trying to help out by rooting and putting cm7 on it for him but now there's really nothing he can do with it any and all help is welcome. If someone knows how to fix this please tell me. (When I plug it into the computer it still can't read the files on the NC. Even if I mount SD card or USB storage through recovery) please help

Try plugging in the SD card by itself to your PC to see if it got corrupted, and if it hasn't you can transfer your files, format it and give it another go. I hope that helps.
Yep. Sounds like a card corruption problem. I had one. Reformat was the only solution. Be prepared to sacrifice your apks. And always drop spare copies onto your computer, just in case.
Is there a way to copy sd card files to a new sd card? I got a new larger SD card and can't copy all files to it. TB, TWRP and some other files will not copy. I hate to start completely anew because there are some backups that I would like to retain. It's probably a Windows issue. Would a bit copier accomplish the task? Any advice would be appreciated.
if you have enough internal memory you can copy them to the phone using something like ES file explorer on the play store and then copy them back to the new memory card, or if you have one of those inexpensive dongle memory card adapters you can copy them to your computer then copy them back to the card.
Plug your phone into your computer and switch the usb mode so it shows up as a drive. Copy sd card to computer. Swap sd cards in phone. Format sd card through phone. Copy the backup off the computer to new sd card
