No market after rooting NC

ok so i rooted my 1.2 NC with ManualNooter 4.6.16 using CWM 3.0.2.8
started it up fine. but i dont have any market? am i missing a file? i searched google and someone said use apk-enabler-1-1a-signed.zip for non-market apps. but i dont know if that will fix my problem so i can download from the app store like i use to on 1.1.. any ideas?

also my micro sd 4gb wont let me format it. tried disk managment way and also the hp tool. says its write protected. its weird cause thats the microsd card that i put the manual nooter on.gahhh any help pleaseee?

1. I don't root so I can't help
2. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to re-format the card

im trying to use the program you suggested votinh.. but it just keeps saying pending operations and does nothing. ive tried other computers and it wont let me partition it e ither

so no one has any idea why i dont have the market even though i used the latest manualnooter?

bump bump bump

1. Running CM7 on SDcard, so have no idea.
2. Using your Nook to format your card.

how do i know what CM im using? and i bought a little usb attachment. insert the microsd into the usb tool and plubin to usb. bought a new microsd card so i dont need to worry to much about my old one, BUT i still want to know which CM i need to use and how to tell which one im using? im not super pro when it comes to this stuff but i try to read the walkthrough thoroughly. AND for the issue with not having the market even though i used the ManualNooter 4.6.16? cause i cant seem to find anyone else having this problem?

rooted my nook back to the way i had it with 1.1. guess il just wait a few months til all bugs are worked out

[Q] Scary Issue

I feel a little bit helpless at this point so bear with me. I have a rooted Droid X with a custom ROM running. A couple of days ago my sd card reader in my phone stopped working. I can no longer install any apps (like z4 to remove root). I also can't sbf back to stock because of the sd card as well. I have rsd lite and have the drivers but the program doesn't recognize my phone. Any Ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks, SincerelyFucked

Are you sure it's the phone and not the card itself?
Have you tried using another microSD card or using a card reader and hooking it up to your computer?

SBF'ing sometimes is a tricky process. For one, make sure you are running RSD as an admin. I would also find some instructions and/or videos and make sure you are doing the process correctly, mostly because I'm not sure that SBF'ing requires the sd card like you say...
I say this because I've SBF'd with no sd in the phone...
Good luck man!

Try sbf'ing with the Linux method. It is easy, and the SD card part is unimportant.

[Q] Can't mount sdcard in CWM recovery on 3.01

I find myself being a noob after being a lurker around here for 2 years. This is my first post. I came here to learn and pretty much felt everyone here knew so much more than I did and I really had little to post of value. About a month ago I flashed several of the ROM's and then upgraded the OS on my Windows 6.5 mobile HTC HD2 using the binaries and instructions from the xda Windows forum. Everything went smoothly and it is now running beautifully on Windows 7.5 mobile. Faster than any of my friend’s stock Win 7 phones, I might add. I'm a certified Unix Engineer and pretty much an expert on Linux having written much of the original code for printing when Linus was developing the first version. I now run Linux Mint in an Oracle Virtual box on Windows 7 Ultimate for my SMTP server. I realize this is somewhat of a regression and I apologize for boring you guys with my background but I felt the need to give a bit of personal info before getting into my request for help, so that any adviser would know that I can talk the talk as well as walk the walk. My noob status is because I came here to learn and not post stupid issues and embarrass myself, I constantly see much of that in all the forums. I have searched and read all advice I can find on xda prior to this post and find others who have had the same problem but their resolutions don’t work for me. I am at the point where I had to post. If anyone has any fresh ideas that can help, please speak up. I'm not bricked but I might as well be, I'm stuck on 3.0.1. Here is my problem.
I allowed Acer's OTA 3.2 to update my Icona A500 last Thursday. The table was rooted and I had updated the xpa_supplicant to support ad hoc wifi while on 3.1. I saved that update over to my external SD before accepting the OTA update to Android 3.2 from Acer. I was hoping that Acer had fixed the ad hoc issue but afraid I might have to re-root and reapply the xpa_supplicant after the flash. I stupidly didn't read all the cries for help both on xda and on the Acer sponsored A500 forum prior to taking on the Acer OTA update. Many of the Acer forum post now showing up are from owners who aren't technical, have no idea what rooting is and no idea even that their Android is hosted on Linux but were unhappy with superficial changes the upgrade had done to various parts of the the UI and the effects it was having on some of their apps. My issue was I need ad hoc wifi or my tab is worthless for my business needs if it can tether and travel. Again, I regress and I apologize.
You guys already know the consequences for the OTA 3.2 update from Acer so I won't go into that. I had planned to flash my first ROM this weekend anyway, as I wanted to upgrade to Tabtoony 2.1. But, after realizing that I couldn't root after the OTA 3.2 from Acer, I download the Acer recovery installer and installed thor's CWM recovery v5.0.0.0 rev 1.3.4 and used it to flash the tablet back to Android 3.0.1 via stock 1.141.07_COM_GEN1. 3.0.1 was known to be buggy and won't even keep a wifi connection for longer than 5 minutes so I couldn’t just stay at 3.0.1. So I proceed forward by then following very systematically the directions from drkalo on the xda A500 forum on flashing your first ROM. These are the step that I when through.
1. I download the Tabtoony 2.1 zip via Windows. I ran IZarc test on the zip from Windows to make sure there were no CRC problems in the zip. All files were good and I even unzip it on Windows with no errors or other problems.
2. The tablet was rooted by CWM so I didn’t need to run Gingerbreak or Iconaroot. I connected the tab to Windows via wifi after re-downloading File Manager HD from the market (I like it better than Root Explorer) because it supports network connetion to Window NTFS file system.
3. I copied the upgrade zip using File Manager HD over to my External SD card and to the Internal SD card, still unsure which one it should be on. There are several YouTube video tutorials on Flashing Tabtoony to the A500. In every one, the demonstrator copies the zip to be flashed to the internal SD card but drkalo explicitly says the external SD. I copied it over to both. BTW, my external SDHD is formatted to FAT32 could that be a problem? I know most Linux distributions have built-in support for FAT32 but I realize the core Linux used on the tab is customize and not one of the standard distributions at least as far as I know. So I have no idea what features may or may not have been removed. But the external card was visible and useable in 3.1 after I created a mnt point to it manually.
3. I then booted into recovery mode and CWM came up and I cleared several caches as suggested and I then chose “– choose zip from sdcard”. I immediately got the following of message:
E:Can’t mount /sdcard
I am then returned to the CWM recovery menu
4. I have tried formatting the sdcard from CWM. Although I still don't know which SDcard is being referred to, but I get the following messages:
Formatting /sdcard…
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format….
Done.
Upon rebooting back to 3.0.1 both sdcards still have all their data on them so format truly does fail. So I'm stuck in 3.0.1 and can't get CWM to mount "the" sdcard or format it. So I can’t flash a new customized 3.2. I have gone over drkalo xda post step by step several times to be sure I'm not missing something but the results are always the same. I would be grateful for any advice or new ideas.
Thanks and I apologize for the long post.

There are already some threads with the very same question and nobody seems to know the answer.

I personally use the external sd card formatted on an Android phone to place the update.zip. CWM mounts the external card (even though the option is called mount /sdcard/ and you can choose the zip file on it.
Good luck!

Just use a usb thumb drive, copy the rom to it, plug into your tab, boot cwm, select the rom and flash. I always use the thumb drive.

Thanks your point is well taken. I used a Windows 7 phone to format the the SD card. I noticed in one of the links that you posted for me a link to a program called SD format. That link provides a format program for Windows and Apple. But, one of things they explain is that a properly formatted SD
has a reserved area for file indexing. I've probed mine and can't find such an area visible or hidden. That may the problem. I don't have a Win machine that uses micro SDs but I'll try formatting it in my friends Android phone and see if that fixes the problem. Thanks for you help. I'll post back to this thread so anyone interested can kow the result if this resolves the problem or not.

Thanks Shaun, I did notice that USB was an option. Actually that's probably the easest way. That never ocurred to me. Fortunatly I have a few thumb drives lying around unused. Bet that will work. I'll try that tonight. I still fell a bit obligated to help solve the SD card problem since it seems to be
so prevelant. I'll let you know how it goes. One question though how do you format your USB? Do you do it on Windows or your adriod device?
Thank for you help and suggetion.

I don't know if I have ever formated my thumb drives just the factory format. Did a windows format and it still worked fine for a test and fat 32. Have you tried a different msd card. Good luck, can get stressful.

Well Piotrdev was correct. I reformatted the drive on a friends Android phone and immediatly noticed a difference. While still in the phone it now showed a lost file folder that the Windows phone format did not create. There may hane been other differences, but I didn't take the time to explore further. I immediatly reinserted the card back into the tablet, copied over the Taboony 2.1 zip and rebooted into CWM. Chose the option - install zip from sdcard, it then ask me to choose which file to install. I navigated to the Taboony 2.1 zip, pressed the power button to select it and installation began. Several message flew by indicating installation was proceeding then it said ROM flash completed sucessfully. I did a power off and back on and immediatly saw a new spinning screen that said Taboony. It ran for about 3 minutes then went to an unconfigured login screen. I knew I had made it then.
So the lesson learned is that neither Windows FAT 32 format is acceptable to CWM, nor is CWM's format acceptable because CWM's format fails if the card is not already properly formatted because he can't mount an improperly formatted drive.
Guys thanks for all your help. I had been stuck for 2 days. I learned something and maybe the others who Piotrdev reported posted a similar issues can get theirs resolved too. I'm pretty sure improper drive formatting is the cause of most other posters problems. We need to write an SD format program for Android Tablets. There is nothing in the market that indicares that it formats SDHDs.
I now have a Taboony 2.1 Tablet which has lots of new apps not available in the market. I need to explore a bit more to see what apps were in the flash but the most needed by me is a full featured office suite and ad hoc wifi to my cell phone router. The xda Taboony Team has ported over Asus's Polaris Office and my first look at it indicated that it appearedsc that it fits the bill. Of course I've just voided my warranty, but after Acer's lockdown to preventing rooting, I had pretty much decided to avoid any updates from them in the future anyway As I told my friend whose phone I used to format the card, at the price they are selling for now, it's just a throw away if you brick it and can't recove.
Problem solved!
Peace

I have the same problem, my CWM is not mounting my sd card, but it seems to recognize my USB flashdrive as the SD card, im super confused and i havent seen any forms that have talked about it, i never had this problem with my HD2 OR my Samsung Galaxy S

[Q] External SD - Tab no see it.....SOLUTION FOUND SEE OP

UPDATE well it looks as though I have found a solution to my woes. I made several attempts of formatting the 2gb card in my laptop to no avail. I tried my old captivate that it originally came out of and the cappy had troubles reading it. I then stuck it in my evo and it registered instant, so I did asdcard format on my evo and then finally the tablet registers the card. In case this helps anyone else
First off someone please enlighten me on the tabs use and the way it mounts the external SD, I read somewhere that it only uses it for media files such as music books and pics. I have an 8GB that belongs in my EVO, and a 2gb that I had for my captivate I was hoping to use in my Tab for now.
Here's my story, maybe someone can shed a little light here: My tab was purchased with Stock 3.1, I was getting annoyed by the constant update request so I went ahead and rooted and installed CWM without incident, then I decided to install the Stock rooted update from here, however when I insert my SD cards they say they are unavailable. So I stick my 2gb in my laptop format to fat32 (should this be different?, typically it works in every other device I own) It still won't read, I did exactly as others point out in other threads but still I am stumped as to how the card is made available to the OS ? Now in a fit of frustration I pulled my 8gb out of my evo put the 2gb in and wham there it is, I put the 3.2 download on the 8gb popped it in tab entered CWM and flashed the update, I don't know if the 2gb is mountable in CWM I will try tonight but the 8gb was mountable through CWM however my 8gb also was not available to Android even after the update.
So what the heck is the use of the external SD and how is it used?

I think you might have an issue with your ROM,
I use my external SD for my titanium backups and other files I want to keep portable. I have used the SD card through my PC via USB and directly by putting into the PC's card reader.
Have you tried using a file manager? I use File Manager HD and the external card shows up as Storage on the left bar.
As for the filesystem, I think I may have originally formatted as FAT but I have also pulled my SD out of my Blackberry and used it to install Honeylicious through CWM,
All in all I dont think you should be having the issues that you are having...
Good luck

If it won't mount in CWM you need to format it in your android phone, that fixed it for me. Once it is formatted correctly you'll see a notification that an SD card is installed. Also my PC wouldn't see it until I put a custom rom on. Also to store items on it you can use a file manager to move things to and from it.

The 8gb card did mount in CWM but would not mount in the OS, or when it would I would get it was unavailable or sometimes even empy when I know there is only about 1 gb free space, I did not test the 2gb in CWM mainly because it was late and I needed to go to bed, but I will try tonight. The 8gb is the one I updated to rooted 3.2 with, I still need to go to 3.2.1 ? Is there a rooted Stock 3.2.1 floating around I really havent looked much into it yet

I have noticed that getting the iconia to read some sd cards is like tossing dice..Most people who have this issue says one card works perfect in every device but not in the iconia.. Some say the card will work sometimes and not others .. Some say the card works in cwm and not with file manager..
The issue here i think is that you have two CARDS THAT ARE FUSSY ABOUT mating with the iconia. OR Your rom .i would read the threads in the rom you are using.. IF still nothing that sounds like your issue ask the DEV about this.. If STILL No luck you can either try to buy a new diffrent card or flash a new rom to try and Diag. this issue..
Good luck..

Silly question
Is your microSD formatted FAT32?
If it is anything else, your unit may have trouble reading it depending on what ROM you are using - Not all ROM's are capable of reading NTFS or other file systems.
Sometimes, microSD's freak out as well, and the only way to get it back to normal is to format it in a Symbian phone (Nokia)
Also, make sure you are using the correct mount point for the card - /mnt/external_sd - Root Explorer and other apps like it can get there.
Other than that, you may just have a bad microSD, I have had many of them die for seemingly no reason.

[Q] stuck on rooting my NC 1.4.2

It could be how you are writing the image to the SD. You should be using win32diskimager if you are running Windows. And you should be running that program as administrator. Also sometimes it makes a difference whether you are using the card reader in your PC. Sometimes it is best to use a cheaper card reader to put it in the PC.
