I got it fixed without loosing anything! Plugged it into a machine that I just updated to win 7..and it said there was a problem with my card and if I wanted windows to see if it could fix it. Yes. It worked!
Check disk is it!
Backed up all my card and plugged it back into the phone...and it works great again.

There are a few things you can try,
1. Plug the phone in and see if your computer will recognize it. If it does it might give you an error that its messed up and will ask you if you want to fix it.
2. Get an external memory card reader (Tmobile stores sell them for under $5 usually). Put the memory card in there and see if your computer can read it. Same thing as above see if your computer can repair it.
3. If all else fails there is a program I've used before called Recuva that can recover delete pictures. I've had good luck before with the program.
All is not lost but you have to realize they may be gone. Next time back them up on your computer or online, especially if you hack your phone a lot.

I've been having the same issue since I switched to a different SD card, try going to recovery> plug your phone to comp> mounts and storage> mount USB storage>
Sometimes all the files are still intact, so hopefully its the same case with you.
You might have to flash back to stock to get this SD card mount issue fixed, and if you're switching to another SD card, make sure to copy ALL the files to the new one, including the ".Files" causes less problems. At least to my observation.
Good Luck.

Noob 2b ... why SD?

Was waiting for some craigslist possibles to come through, but no luck. Off to B and N soon to bite the $250 bullet.
I'm pretty sure I have no use for stock configuration/apps (actually setting it up for 13 yr old birthday gift). Plan is to go straight through the CM7 on EEMC thread, including partioning. Don't understand why I'd want to fiddle with running off SD?
Any tips or gottchas would be appreciated! Ohh, cana CM 7 NC use a bluetooth GPS? Got an old one from my Treo days...

For me it was to familiarize myself with CM7 and the process of flashing prior to messing around with internal OS partition. I was also concerned that I would have problems restoring to stock if I needed to have the warranty honored. (Obviously these two no longer, since I'm running CM7 on EMMC quite happily). Also, some people don't want to invalidate warranty in case something happens to the Nook hardware and they have to return/exchange it. There are people here who prefer nootered stock over CM7, as well, or want the B&N native reader so run dual boot setup with CM7 on SD and stock as alternate boot on EMMC.

If you get a blue dot nook and intend on installing CM7 on emmc, then you do need to do the repartition. I've heard various info on whether or not people with blue dot Nooks can boot from SD (haven't kept up with that thread), but if you are able to boot off SD on a blue dot Nook you shouldn't have to do the repartition unless you are installing to EMMC.
My nook was not a blue dot.

Probably too little too late, but if you get your NC from Best Buy or Walmart, you stand a better chance of getting an older device without the blue dot.

Thought about that, but didn't think the partition would be to bad. As it turns out went to B and N and she was pretty up on "if you're a techie." When she handed it to me, I said so this is the blue dot? She said yeah we have some of the old ones if you want... so I'll skip that first re-partition step.
Also got to play with the new I ink, touch screen, reader. Nice! Interesting their pricing is $139 compared to a Kindle I saw at Wmart for $112. Side note, I did get a 3G kindle, new from craig's list for $118. Thinking that will be the go to device for "reading" especially at pool or beach.
I asked what the price of the NC used to be, and she said it's always been $250, but they where able to keep it up because of the Froyo update! So maybe I should have got a discount!!!

Wish I had known about the Best Buy/Walmart connection

EC09 Fried SD Cards thread

So I am wanting those who have used EC09 and either have had their SD card fried or not fried, and give the steps on what they did to get the ROM installed and any post install steps they used.
As of right now I have done EC09 twice.
The first time was with the stock 16 GB SD card installed, flashed the ROM/Radio via odin, installed and rooted with Gingerbreak. And about a day or so after setting up the ROM my SD card became damaged, tried formatting with the phone and windows, and OS X, no success. Eventually had to take it to Verizon to get replaced. Flashed to DI01 when I brought it in.
The second time I am using a 4 GB SD card, erased it with the phone. I flashed the ROM with Odin, then once it loaded, I flashed CWM, booted to CWM, and wiped Data, cache and Dalvik booted into the rom, Gingerbreak'ed it. So far no SD card issues.
So I am wanting everyone to report all they have done, I know there are lots of you who are no issues with the SD card, and if we can atleast make it possible to narrow it down to anything common, we can atleast narrow it down to something to save some peoples SD cards.
My thoughts if it fries the one that came in the phone, flash to DI01, go into verizon and just say it stopped working, and they should replace it.

Just a update for those who care, so far the SD card is still working, havn't gotten a Damaged SD card error yet, installed about 20 apps, and downloaded about 100+ files to my SD card for my Scripture app from my church. So far so good.

just a thought: I'm from the mesmerize forums, but this is my hazard at a guess: It looks like the build is treating the internal sd card as a normal usb composite device, thus using usb data buffers when data r/w occurs. Those buffers are most likely larger than normal sdcards are meant to handle. Large volume data transactions, like watching movies, may damage you card. Just a guess though, from what I'm seeing in the ui.

Is this only for touchwiz based or AOSP?

Anything based off of EC09 is touchwiz.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

It's TW-based.
Well, for me, every time I had an SD error it was when I was accessing large amounts of data from the card. I was accessing the gallery, but no pictures were there to show up (it couldn't load them). I tried a Batch Backup with Titanium so that I could save the MMS settings and all of my data for a backup after the first glitch when I lost all of my data completely.
It popped up a window saying the SD was blank and that I needed to format. I formatted and made sure to turn on debugging/development and had no further problems.
One time was enough for me. I'm sticking with CM7, doubly so since the sensors are now all working and all we need is MMS.
EC09 = TouchWiz
CM7 = AOSP

Please atleast answer some of the questions, when you flashed the rom, did you wipe any data, cache or dalvik?
Are you using the stock 16 GB card? Or a different one?

i was lucky, i had no issues with my SD card, but my friend did, as soon as he told me, and said others were having the same issue, i ran on here to read up....i immediately odin'd dl01 modem, then flashed dl01 to ed04...and have been fine. i back my sd card up frequently, but you never know....
now I was running Nameless 4, then went back to stock Gingerbread and rooted/debinged/debloated...and now i'm back on Nameless 4.1...but hearing CM7 is ready minus MMS which I don't use (i use Voice for my texting so i don't have to pay for it) i can finally go back to CM (ran it on both my OG Droid and DInc, so i have been missing it since I got the Fassy....

My sd card is borked too after flashing the full ec09 package. Worked for a little and then started getting errors. Could someone link me the full dl01 odin package that will get me to stock so I can take it in to Verizon and play dumb. Thanks!

Wrong. EC09 is also a modem number. If he was talking about CM7 or MIUI then they are not TW.

I wonder if all the fried SD cards are Samsung that came with the phones? I other non-16GB SD cards work fine with EC09 roms.

Mine got fired as well or something. I could not format the card. Seems like EC09 is the cause for it.
My phone just turn off on it's on, I could not turn the phone back on with the power switch and had to pull the battery out and put back in to turn the phone back on.

I've been using CM7 since test4 and I'm not experiencing this so far. Fingers crossed*

What might your scripture app advise regarding the deceit that is prescribed herein - break your phone, then hold Verizon responsible by using deception? I am no saint, but bringing in your church in a post that advises bad behavior is ludicrous. Let the flaming begin. Just seems especially hypocritical.

cm7 is aosp not ec09 tw gb...so theres nothing to be worried about (well on this issue)

My 2 Cents... I used Nameless 4.1 for days no prob then read it didn't play videos. I of course had to confirm this and sure enough they didn't play. Instantly after this my card went tits up. Mbr was destroyed so had to fix that first before I could reformat card. The card is fine, now on cm7.

Are you really that stupid? It has nothing to do with it being a scripture app, it has everything to do with the fact that it is a app that writes 100+ files to the SD card, meaning the SD card is being used, and not sitting idle, I mean anyone could flash this ROM and have no SD card issues until they do some heavy writing to it.
The Scripture app has nothing to with trying to get it replaced, I was just using it as an example of a App that was writing to the card, and was having issues with my old card when it died.

So you know what's causing this exactly? I asked that question on the previous page but no one could answer that if this is related to tw or AOSP.

To Sell A Nook

Hi, like the title suggest I am going to sell my Nook. I have had a fun time with it and have learned a great deal from these forums. Before I sell though I would like to know what steps i should take to get all my info off the device.
I am running CM7 nightly on emmc and CWM also on emmc. Can I just do a clean install of CM7 and leave it at that? Or does the Nook still have to be deregistered from Barnes and Noble somehow?
I just want to make sure none of my info or accounts are left on the device when sold.
I saw a thread before on the topic but could not find it I apologize but even a link to that thread would be ok.
Thank you

I guess the best thing would be to do a clean install. You could sell it with CM7 already mounted or you could sell it with stock mounted. You do need to deregister your Nook with B&N so that the next owner can register it if he wishes.
The thing is, I don't think you can register your Nook once it has CM7 emmc, so the next owner will need to install stock to be able to register the product on his name, so probably is better to sell it with stock. (I'm not quite sure about this probably another person can fill you in on this topic).
If you want to make sure non of your info gets out, just do a fresh install wiping cache and system. But remember to deregister your NC from the B&N website, so it's hazzle free for the next happy nook owner.

That's what I thought. I was going to sell it stock but the purchaser wanted android left installed. So I just did a clean install. Formated sd card and unregistered my nook with B&N. It kind of sucks they don't let you do it online anymore. I had to call :-(
But thanks for the info!

I have 2 Nooks. I just went to the B&N website to my account and although the screen has changed and all I see is pictures of my 2 Nooks, if you hover your mouse over one you have a few options including to de-register.

Yea but when you click on it a window pops up and just gives you instructions telling you how to deregister using the nook in hand. But if you don't have the Nook you have to call them to have it deregistered remotely.

return to stock

any way to get this back to stock yet... so I can return it to walmart... or do you think I can return it anyway. haha

Do you have TWRP installed ??? If you have just go to amazon website to download the ROM. Rename it to *.zip then copy to your sd and install, but remember to wipe your device by 3 options on the top (sry I forgot the name)

Here is a video on what to do.....

Yes. The standard method of updating completely reformats the system and overwrites everything. No root, no TWRP, No FIREFIREFIRE. You should just wind up with the stock launcher.

thanks a ton guys!!! takin it back today... gonna get the asus memo 7 in. it has the tegra 3 and expandable storage starting at 16 gb for $249. coming out in a couple months.

If you still have the triangle, that is FireFireFire, not TWRP.
If you put the downloaded file into the /sdcard/kindleupdates
And then used Settings -> Devices and then Update
After it was complete and it reboots, there should be No FireFireFire and TWRP as the update formats the /system directory where these were stored.

What's the use of getting something if it will have little dev support ;p
You can always bet the Kindle Fire will have dev support. It's the most affordable/popular android tablet out right now.

Now back to stock. Had an unnerving .acore error with no true solution but return back to square one again. Every twrp restore turned to be identical to to one trying to leave? Wish I could sell this.
Happy you can return yours.

I'll give you a hundred for it. A long as it's back to stock.
People complain that manufacturers are making it harder to unlock devices but after reading these forums, can you really blame them? I wonder what percentage of Android device returns are because of user error.

Bricked devices would not exist if manufacturers unlocked their hardware. How many computers get bricked because someone messed up installing linux? Oh that's right, zero.
