I have CWMR 5,8 installed. First boot automatically loads into CWMR [this is, as far as I've read, a problem with the recovery and I can handle it if I can fix the internal sd card]. Rebooting and cold-booting helps me boot up my ROM (I've tried multiple ROMs, currently on CM9).
Everything works, except for my internal sdcard (weirdly thought I cannot access my external micro SD from CWMR). It seems as if its not mounted. I got ADB access to the device, /sdcard is there and all of the files are there. I can adb push and adb pull, so the internal storage seems to be working fine, it just doesn't mount it. Maybe the issue is permissions? ls -la sdcard outputs: lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-10-26 20:43 sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0
Any ideas? I've tried installing different versions of CWM recoveries (adb push zip file and then using CWM to actually install it), they don't seem to stick.
Does /storage/sdcard0 exist on your device (AFAIK this is the new location defined by JB, but I don't know what CM9 does)?
If not, you may find your files in /data/media.

ok first thing, your external microsd card should be /Removable/MicroSD/. also what do you mean when you say youre pushing zip files then installing them but they dont seem to stick? how are you connecting via adb are you using ./adb shell to connect and move files? theres a certain way you have to push files to the device when youre in recovery.
Fixed it
Hello,
Not being able to mount the internal sdcard
The problem was I installed CM10 then somehow rolled back to CM9. The sdcard location moved between those 2 versions and the CM9 version wasn't able to mount it anymore. After installing CM10 everything worked apart from the boot loop.
TF101 booted into recovery every time
I fixed that by flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
and running the command to actually load in the new recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337
In summary
My tf101 works thanks to all the info available on xda

Am running the Phiremod/HC dual boot on sd, and want to flash the 1.1Ghz OC kernel.
Can someone point me to the right kernel download, and a guide on how to flash it to SD card?
From reading I assume there are versions for emmc and different ones for SD roms, but I'm a little worried I'll pick the wrong one and ruin everything.
Yeah, wot he said ^ 'cept for a CM7 kernel.
Don't know about phiremod, but the cm7 and stock kernels can be found in Dalingrin's OC kernel. The files are named with sdcard or emmc to avoid confusion.
As far as flashing it, get a bootable sd card and put the OC zip in the root of the card (don't unzip it).
Boot the card and install the zip using CWM (something like "install zip from sd card"). For CWM, the N button is select, the power is back, and the volume buttons are up/down.
First apologies if I'm hijacking the OP's thread. But where I come unstuck is getting into CW Recovery.
Assume I need an OC kernel on the uSD card; I can't seem to find a way to get into CWR. I've tried RomManager -> CWR, but that just reboots the Nook. When I remove the uSD card and reboot THEN the machine boots into recovery, but for the eMMC system. But I dont want that!
So the big question is how can I run the system from the SD card AND get into CW Recovery for that system and NOT the embedded one?

Thanks for the helpful links!
I've managed to flash one of Dalingrin's older OC kernels successfully, but when I try the latest one, the nook doesn't boot into phiremod.
The screen flashes, and then nothing happens.
I was going to try and flash via ADB, following the instructions in Dalingrin's thread, but the instructions for flashing to EMMC and SD look exactly the same to me (shouldn't the sd version NOT go into emmc?), and I'm not sure what location to place the unzipped files:
If not using CWM, unzip the contents of the update and push uImage onto /boot partition. Then you will need to copy the system folder.
if flashing to sdcard:
adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /emmc
adb push uImage /emmc/uImage
adb remount
adb push system /system
if flashing internal eMMC
adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /emmc
adb push uImage /emmc/uImage
adb remount
adb push system /system

To use one of the later kernels you need to update your uboot to either the one that comes with the most recent nightly's or the stoc bn 1.2 uboot.

THIS IS WHERE I AM STUCK.
I'm a NOOB, running CM7 from SD CARD.
I can't figure out how to install the kernel to my NK.
I copy the unzipped file into my SD card and using size agnostic installer trying to boot into recovery mode to run install.
For some reason, I cannot get into recovery mode. I'm trying the suggested power button and N button combinations, tried selecting reboot into recovery mode from CM7 desktop and selecting reboot into recovery mode from ROM manager that came with install, with no luck.
AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??
Also, what does this mean??

Is this a command line to use in terminal emulator????
HELP HELP!!!
no need for me to worry about this, actually change to nightly build 102 and the Size agnostic installer did its magic to install kernel with no issues.
I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to put an update (nighty) on an sd card without having to remove the card and attaching it to your computer.
I have wifi pro and that doesn't look like it allows me to do that and just hooking the nook to my pc doesn't look like it gives me the option either. Am I missing something?
I've haven't done myself yet but heard people mentioned about the app called "Root Explorer"??? or "Root Folder" or something with "root".
Download nightly build directly on the NC then use the app to drag the zip file over the "boot" partition.
I think it should be able to do, not done that myself.
The best I can offer is, if you eject the card long enough to start booting to stock, then re-insert it before stock fully loads (on one of the splash screens), the boot partition will be mounted as storage and you can connect to your PC by USB to drop an update file in there.
It might help you out if the issue is not having access to a card reader, but you still have to pop the card out and back in.
ETA: I never had any luck getting an update on the root of any SD, even one formatted for storage, using a file manager.
NookColorUMS allows you to mount any partition. Turn off compatibility mode in spare parts and then reboot to see app in full screen.

If you're running off of SD and adb is working then:
adb shell busybox mkdir /sdcard/boot
adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push ***UPDATEFILE*** /sdcard/boot
adb reboot recovery
If running from EMMC then:
adb shell busybox mkdir /sdcard/boot
adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push ***UPDATEFILE*** /sdcard/boot
adb reboot recovery
Hello all! New user here. I looked in the forums for this and can't find this question answered, but I am sure I missed it. My apologies before hand if that's the case.
I have a Nook with a 16GB SanDisk card with CM7 running off the card itself, which allows me to dualboot back to the original Nook software if I want to.
My question is this. Is there a way to automatically update CM7 and/or Google Apps without copying them to my Sd card on my PC, booting into recovery, etc?
I know there's the paid version of Rom Manager, but if I read that correctly, that only works when the Nook has CM7 running on the Nook directly and not on the SD card?
Thanks in advance for your time!
You can use adb and mount the boot partition to an empty folder on the partition CM7 sees as the SD card and push the nightly to that location... then just use adb's reboot recovery command...
(FIRST TIME ONLY) adb shell mkdir /sdcard/boot
adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push (UPDATE FILE) /sdcard/boot
adb reboot recovery
Thanks!
I will give this a try! Let's see if I can not break my root.

hi can i have some help?
stuck on the adb push part, cmd window says failed to copy ____ to _____ read-only file system.
any idea how to fix this?
(from step by step rooting guide for 9020a)
I assume you mean the "adb push su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip /sdcard/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" part. Maybe you forgot the /sdcard at the beginning, otherwise no need to worry about adb anyway. Just copy that file over to the sdcard by any means you like (adb, mount usb storage, etc).
However, i would be using a newer su zip from the official web page, just to save hassle if you are using ICS. Guaranteed to work
If you have already flashed the recovery... easiest way is just to boot into recovery then mount the USB storage and copy it that way. Then unmount and flash the zip while still in recovery.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
thanks for the help!
sorry to ask another question (first time rooting), but I can't find any sdcard folder after i go into usb mass storage?
and the new su zip will work on 2.3.6? (planning on using cm9)
New su works on 2.3.6 fine. Mount USB storage is the sdcard partition, so anywhere in there.
I recently unlocked my bootloader in order to install the latest PAC ROM. Everything went swimmingly until recently my internal and external sd cards are not mounting. At first I cleared data and factory reset the device and that didn't help, reboots didn't do a thing, and I've used some Terminal codes to try and mount it:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
but that did nothing. The most recent development is the SIM card doesn't mount right on boot so I'm stuck rebooting the device to just use the network. I tried seeing if Root Explorer would find and mount the card somehow and the SD card and Ext. SD Card sections appear as an unknown file type.

did you make a nandroid? if so, see if you can restore with that.
what I usually do when installing a new ROM is mount everything -> factory reset -> wipe internal storage -> reboot recovery -> mount everything -> install ROM
I don't think there is any reason to wipe external storage.
Thanks but unfortunately I forgot to make a Nandroid so I've used the Toolkit and reinstalled stock.
