i'm not sure. but a few times i met this situation. what i did: i formatted sd with panasonic sd formatter and put it to mobile-then flashed mgldr-flashed a new cwm partition. and my phone saw it.
maybe it is related to the version of cwm. lately i use 3.0.2.5 or 4.0.1.4 with no problem.

[Q] nook question

hello, ive asked this question here once before but idk why but im stressing out over this lol ok.....so my nook runing color cyanogen mod 7 has an internal and external memory. the micro sd i have has the CWM and its only 2gb and is full, so i bought another micro sd but 4gb, the sd card with CWM always boots into Recovery so i bought another card. is it safe for the device to use one card and then when i need to update pop the first sd card in? or...do you guys just pop the sd out on boot then put it back in once booted?

Sounds like you've installed CM onto internal memory (eMMC). If so, there's no harm swapping the car out, so long as you unmount it when the unit is powered on.
If, instead, you've got CM on an external (SD) card, then it just won't boot. Again, no harm done.

its on the sd card, but can use another sd card not cwm so i can keep it in there and use it? and if theres a update ill just pop the sd card with cwm on it

Sound like so. I think you still confuse about it.
Anyway, do state your questions again since we don't remember post-to-post
so my nook runing color cyanogen mod 7 has an internal and external memory.

Yes, we know that, we know the NC has internal memory and an uSD slot for additional storage.
the micro sd i have has the CWM and its only 2gb and is full

That's ok, it's understandable.
so i bought another micro sd but 4gb

That's good.
the sd card with CWM always boots into Recovery

It should ALWAYS boot into CwM Recovery, if not, big problem.
so i bought another card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Another one? 3rd one?
is it safe for the device to use one card and then when i need to update pop the first sd card in?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, use one uSD card for additional storage, leave it in the NC.
Save one uSD as a flashable CwMR card for update/backup ROM.
or...do you guys just pop the sd out on boot then put it back in once booted?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Leave the "normal" uSD in the NC.
"normal" meaning not the flashable CwMR.

Sorry for so many questions thank u so much ur a genious! But one more before I leave, do I have to update the Rom? The Rom I have is 7.0.3 and there is a newer one 7.1 do I have to install it? Cause I'm happy how it is
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom

7.0.3 is very old
7.1 is the current stable
Latest ROM that has the love of many members is MiRaGe KANG, 7.2.
If you are happy with what you have now, you don't have to update new ROM

Ok and if I want to update I just flash a new one?
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium

ok i put the 7.1 and flashed it then it said installation aborted

Did you tell us where you do install the CM7? On eMMC or uSD?

HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom

Your previous posts indicated that you had actually installed to internal memory not uSD.
There are two ways we can be certain what state you are in.
1) If you leave the card out and it will reboot into CM7 then you have installed on internal.
2) If you started with the eyeballer clockwork recovery image when you installed then you did an internal install. If you started with a VeryGreen size agnostic SD card then you installed onto SD card.
Assuming you have done an internal install then you do not want to leave the installer SD card in as this is a boot SD which will boot into clockwork recovery. Instead you just want a freshly formatted SD which is then used to hold your normal data.
When you want to update an internal install then you don't actually need to remove the SD card at all. Instead get the ROM Manager app from the market. Select the function to flash Clockwork recovery. This put an alternate clockwork boot on the internal memory and only needs to be done once. To do an update put the new ZIP at the top level of the SD card then use ROM Manager to select the zip to install. Select the wipe dalvik option and continue. The Nook will reboot into recovery and install the new ROM and then reboot with the new ROM. You can also manually get into clockwork recovery by powering up with the N key pressed. This will give you a boot slection allowing you to select normal boot or recovery. The latter will give you the full recovery menu.
If your install is actually on the SD card then you do an update by copying the new zip onto the boot partition which is actually what the PC will see if you put the card back into a PC. The new zip must be renamed to start with update-cm- and end with .zip When you reboot with this and hold the N key down then you can enter a simplified recovery which will install the update zip.

That's the reason why I keep asking askers where they do install CM7 to.
W/o knowing, I don't want to lead them into the wrong direction.

thanks for that great info, you nailed all my questions great

I need a ROM with DAF.exe. No zip

because my sd card is broken and i can't write anything on it. So i need a ROM with DAF.exe.
I can't find none

You're sure that you couldn't sort out your problem? On one of your other threads (which, by the way, there are far too many of) it was stated that there is a switch on the MicroSD adapter which changes the SD card from read only to the normal mode, were you unable to find this? Also, how else have you tried to connect your SD to your PC? I highly doubt it's a problem with your SD, I think it's more likely to be a problem with what you're doing.
Anyway, to answer your question, I think the only two ROMs which can be flashed via DAF.exe are the DFT Stock Desire ROM and (possibly, I haven't actually seen the thread recently) AmeriCanAndroid. You're going to have trouble without a working SD, there isn't really much you can do without one.

My problem is with SD adapter. SD card is working. I can't write anything without SD adapter. So i can't flash a CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM

Why there is so few DFA.exe NANDS?

Because generally everyone has an SD card and it's an old and outdated method of flashing. CWM allows you to do literally everything away from a computer, and flash addons etc. plus backup, restore and whatever else you may need. It's far superior to DAF.exe.

[Q] Android A2SD question

hello,i have a t-mobile HD2 that cannot boot any android rom(SD or NAND)so my guess is that my bad blocks don't let my phone boot Android...so here is my question:with A2SD I install the rom to the SD card(which is virtually converted to NAND or something?) or not??if someone finds any solution about my problem i would be grateful

I don't have any clue what your actual question is supposed to mean, but if you can't install SD Android then it isn't anything to do with bad blocks. You need to give more information, such as which type of HD2 you have, what radio it has, do you have HSPL, what steps you've taken so far etc. Nobody can help without sufficient information.

I still don't quite understand what the actual issue is. Do ANY ROMs boot on your phone? The reason I ask is because you later contradict this original statement by saying something about A2SD moving your apps to the SD card.

A2SD does not install the ROM to NAND nor does it install NAND to SD. It install apps to your SD card, apps that you use on your phone.
NAND ROMs are flashed directly to your phone and completely remove Windows.
SD ROMS are ran from your SD card with your Windows still functioning when you want.

Have you installed MAGLDR and partitioned your internal memory by flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery(CWM)?? And Apps2SD doesnt install any rom. Its just used to transfer applications that run on the internal memory to the sd-ext.(partion of sd card)

I have a hd2 too.
magldr 1.13 .... clockwormod 5.0.2.6 ... Nexushd2 ics 4.0.4 - rom... a2SD-Script ...
200mb nand-partition..5mb cache-partition.. 1 gb ext4-partition and 400 mb swap-partition
I installed my rom witht "hd2 toolkit 4.2.0.1", that can be downloaded here on "xda-developers".
With this tookit you can do followed things:
- Start with a "full wipe" called "task 29" (I think this "task 29" is necessary for your hd2, because of your problems and bad issues you are reporting)
- then partition your nand-memory (for first install i recommen 200mb nand an 40 mb cache - after you recognized that it works, you can reduce cashe to 10 or 5 mb)
- install magldr
- install clockworkmod recovery
- install your rom

Okay. Thanks. I have decided to just go for WP7.8. Do I have to do full wipe(Task29) and flash MAGLDR again? Also do I need to use the UseLast24NAND on Pdaimatejam's rom, I dont want to brick my phone, have read that it can brick it? I am just going to format the SD card into FAT32, and CLEARSD MBR?

you will have to use last 24mb and clear sd mbr
as for task29, don't think it is necessary. wp7 installation formats nand and sdcard to create one raid type memory over both medias
don't think formatting sdcard is necessary either, but if you do, use https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
good luck

hi
Nice to meet you guys.

which is better android or WM?
