No Files SD Card Stuck on 3 Android Skating

Ok I am working on this mytouch it is stuck on the android skating and the SD card is completely blank. the Hboot is 0.86.0000
I want to put the correct files back on the sd card and the correct PD15IMG so that i can un-soft brick this phone i have no other info from the prior owner rooted or not ect.. ADVICE, LINKS, DOWNLOADS ???

Download the gingerbread PD15IMG.zip from here. Place it on the SD Card, boot into hboot, then let it do its thing! Press thanks if I helped

So question? Even if the Android File system is missing on the SD card this will re-build it?

Invasion2 is correct. The "system" files are stored on the internal memory. Any folders/files missing from the sd card that weren't put there by you will be regenerated by android and apps you use.

I was in a boot loop after a failed install of a custom rom - did all the research - came to the conclusions that I had bad emmc - was getting the fail-pu errors when trying to flash the PD15IMG.zip. As a last ditch effort, found a thread that talked about SD format - yep found out it was an issue with my SD card format. I ended up putting another SD card in that worked in another phone (could also format a new card FAT32) and was able to finally get past this and get the stock (froyo) image on.

Yes but this is for a phone with custom recovery that is not the case here this is a stock phone with s on

I already tried re formatting to fat32 when i load the froyo image it loads it and skips the update to the mytouch 4g screen no failed pu message just with the gingerbread img.

Yeah dude you have a paperweight. I would just go to Tmo and ask for a replacement. Say it just shut off automatically or something. Sorry, hope I helped.

Final word
As I said I am working on this phone so I have to deliver the bad news. The person who owns the phone bought it used and was using it then updated and things went bad. Hope this thread helps someone. Thank you for the repsonse

[Q] Problem mounting new SD card

RUnning Zips Creamed Glacier 3.11, Clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0
Trying to mount a brand new micro SD card (16 gb), but when I try to do it in the ICS settings, it never mounts. WHen I try to mount it in Clockworkmod recovery, same error. Any ideas on this for me?

Could be a bad card. Have you tried a different one?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Tried it with the original card as well, same issue.

Is there any trash in the slot?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Nope, slot is clean.

I'd flash a PD15IMG.zip. It rewrites everything. If its software related that should fix it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA

Well I'll be a son of a doggone... I was finally able to format the new card on my win PC, and now my phone sees it. Still won't see the original tho.
Brute force and ignorance to the rescue!
THanks for your help!

Stuck at splash screen

I flashed one of the gb radios, following the instructions, and when i rebooted my phone its stuck at the splash screen. I would just try to put a different radio on the sd card and flash that through fastboot, since i cant get to recovery, but my computer wont pick up my sd card even on my wifes phone. Any ideas?

Will it boot without the card or with a different card?
Did you verify the md5 of the radio before you flashed it?

Got it working

When I booted into recovery I couldn't select recovery from fast boot since the radio file was still on the root of the sd card and my only two options were to update or reboot. I fixed it by putting my wife's sd card in my phone, booting to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, put my sd card back in, booted back into recovery and flashed the radio file on my sd card through fast boot again. It seems the big mistake I made originally was just not wiping the caches before flashing the radio

Explain what you mean when you say it fails. And what do you mean rom restore image? You need to be more explicit.

Lets say i boot into cwm/twrp using SD or emmc i cant do a creen install (u know formatting data, cache, ect) and then did its time to install the rom, it installs like normal, no problem whatsoever, then installing g apps, same as before not a single problem or error message, then i reboot, see the cyanboot then its says "loading Emmc" or something close to that then the screen goes black, and stays black. weather 5,10,30 mins, an hour goes by nothing else will show on the screen. i though maybe i didn't format my cache (sometimes that's the problem on other devices in the past from booting) so i boot back into cmw/twrp and format it again, reboot, then after the cyanboot screen complete black screen, but i can run roms off SD fine but i dont like too

The original question on this thread was how to get stock back. You seem to be trying to put CM on emmc. You might do better putting stock back then try to put CM on it.

Thats what im trying to do, but when i try installing the stock roms, on the "instaling update" screen it says it failed, that that was because i did not have the original files on my nook, so i gave up on that

Troubles going back to stock

Hi leapinlar,
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I just dusted off my Nook Colour and want to take it back to stock. I followed your tips and used CWM-6.0.1.2-bootable_SD to restore back to nookcolor_1_4_3_signed.
I followed another threads instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720) where it told me to first format data and format system. I then chose the nookcolor_1_4_3_signed to install and rebooted.
I've rebooted a couple of times now and it is stuck on the screen with the n and "Contains reader mobile tech by adobe.."
I then went back into CWM and chose the restore function but i'm getting the same result.

If you had CM on your NC before trying to go back to stock, you must first use my format zips from my NC Tips thread linked in my signature. Using CWM to format is not enough. Read item A15.

Hi leapinlar,
I believe I already stated that I did use your files?
Edit: Sorry, now I see I missed the note about formatting with 5-6-7. I'm not sure what that really means, or how to do it, but i've downloaded it and I'll put it on the SD card and see what I can play around with in CWM.
Edit 2: Got it working! Thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to re-format the SD card so I can use it regularly again.

Accidentally took emmc off my NC

I have a nook color, and I've rooted and reinstalled stock so many times , that
I thought I knew all the tricks. Apparently I didn't! I tried to revert from manual booted back to stock and it would not take.! Long story short I noticed when I went to mounts and storage there was no emmc showing . Have I destroyed my nook color? Is there any way to get it back?
Thanks!!!

Thank you !!!! I'll give it a try!

I tried repairing it using your 3 codes. It still boots up to " Read Forever"
And won't go any further. It acts like it's installing the update or installing
Back to the stock, but then it sticks.

I went back and re-read your answer. Am I wrong ? Is this just for if you are
Using an SD card to run your ROM with? You see I accidentally , some how removed
The emmc off of my internal drive... I think? When I put my SD card in to Change ROMs, it has a system , data, cache, sd card, sd-ext, but no emmc?
It acts like its installing the ROMs but you take the so card out and power on, and it
Sticks at Read Forever? I think I've really goofed this time!

"emmc" section on a NC is just where you store media files. It has nothing to do with storing a rom. Did you try to reinstall your stock rom? Look at my NC Tips thread linked in my signature for how to do that. Look at item A15.
And I'm not sure what you mean by installing my 3 codes.

It is possible that your NC internal memory has become read only. I have seen this happen rarely before. It acts like you are writing to it but nothing sticks. Successfully flashing the repair 14567 zip should have caused it to boot to cwm when you remove the SD. I am afraid your unit is toast.

Just because it fires up does not mean it will stop being read only, if it is. Unless you can get it to accept my repair zips or a rom, it is toast.

Rhonda61, I just reread your posts again and I am not sure that you flashed my repair zips correctly. Did you go to my repair thread linked in my signature and install (flash) the zips there? If you did, what were the results? When you took the SD out after flashing them, how did the device act?

I finally got everything to work. I was going to throw the NC away, and decided I would try one more time, and it worked. The results were after I flashed the partition 1,etc... and it would not do anything, until I flashed the partition 2, and still nothing, until I flashed the NC stock update.
BUT.... I just posted a new question, about it will only go to Stock 1.2. It will not let me
put 1.4 NC update on it, nor any of the custom Rom's ? Is there anything more I can do?
