First of all, I am running Cyanogen Mod 4.2.15.1, with RA recovery v1.52R and I have a properly partitioned SD card for apps2sd.
My question/problem is this:
I have 2 SD cards, the first one I have setup to use regularly with my phone, and is partitioned properly for apps2sd. The second one I have formatted and setup as a ubuntu USB boot disk.
My intention is this, whenever I need to use a random computer, at work or friends house, etc, it would be super if I could shut my phone down, switch to my boot SD card, boot into recovery, enable the USB-Mass Storage option, and boot the computer from USB into Ubuntu. I have the SD card set up with a persistence file so I can even save stuff in my linux environment. This is all fine and dandy, and works well. It's actually really cool to have a bootable linux environment right in my pocket with me everywhere I go...
To take it to the next level, I would like to be able to actually boot my phone, so it doesn't have to sit in recovery while I'm using the computer. This way I can even turn on "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and have Ubuntu with network on the go. I've tried partitioning my SD card, putting my apps on it, and using the FAT32 partition for the Ubuntu boot disk, The only problem with this is, I can't make the FAT32 partition available to the computer before it is plugged in. (I have to mount it when the notification pops up, which is usually too late) So I figured I will enable USB-MS from RA Recovery, let it boot to Ubuntu, and once it's loaded, I'll reboot my phone, and mount again in android, then continue using the computer, but I think because the card is partitioned, BIOS isn't recognizing it as a boot drive.
So how do I mount the FAT32 partition from inside Cyanogen's 4.2.15.1 Mod? (or even from recovery?) before the computer is even connected? I need it to be available right when the computer turns on.
Any suggestions would be super, I love the idea that I can carry around a linux distro with me everywhere I go, especially coupled with a wireless connection.
Thank you!

Decided to try a rooted NST again so I backed up my non-rooted image using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15115162&postcount=2.
Didn't like the rooted experience so I tried to restore using the instructions above, got as far as deleting all of the partitions. When I tried to restore the image using Win32diskimager I realised that my Win7 laptop was no longer reading the nook. I've tried other PCs but I've not had any look in getting any of them to recognise the NST.
So my NST is now stuck on Rooted Forever and is not recogised by my computer so I can't restore my backup. Any help would be appreciated.
Tried plugging it in to the laptop this morning and pressing the Power and n button together. The Rooted Forever went away, so the screen is now blank and the light that was previously showing only green turned to orange.
Continuous pressing of the Power button causes the light to turn green, screen to flash, then turn back orange. NST still not being recognised by the laptop however. Help?
I'm unclear on exactly what you did.
In any case, there is almost no reason to ever delete partitions on anything.
Put noogie on an SD. Insert SD. Boot. Connect on USB.
Use Win32DiskImager to write your backup onto the Nook.
Remove SD. Boot.
Thanks for your reply. I deleted the partitions because of
To restore your backup:
(Boot Nook with the noogie sd)
Run Partition Wizard and delete all partitions on your Nook. Careful in disk selection here, wiping the wrong drive could be catastrophic! This is required, because DiskImager won't write to a partitioned drive.
Okay I tried what you said. I'm seeing Removable Disk in My Computer but clicking it gives me Please insert a disk into Removable Disk. Win32diskimager is showing no devices.
Win32diskimager doesn't care at all what partitions are on your device.
It writes physical data onto a device.
How is it that the Window (File) Explorer is showing a drive letter and W32DI can't see it?
Is the Nook showing "Rooted Forever"?
I believe noogie does two mounts but the second one is inactive.
Check your desktop for all drive letters. Use "Disk Management".
Yes nook is showing Rooted Forever.
In Disk Management, I'm seeing 'Disk 1 Removable 1.83 Online' and it shows 1.83 Unallocated. And 'Disk 2 Removable (F No Media'. (F is the letter drive I'm seeing in Windows File Explorer.
Well, that's your problem, deleting the partitions stops Windows from recognizing it enough to give it a letter.
In disk management see if you can assign it a drive letter (on Disk1)
If you can't, do a quick format in disk management.
It doesn't matter what kind or how as long as you can assign a drive letter when you are done.
Yes, that was exactly the problem. Restored backup and it's up and running now.
Thanks for all the help, now I know what not to do lol.
Transfer files from PC or ext SD from recovery?

How can I either restore a factory rom with RSD or fastboot or is there a way to access the external SD card from recovery?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not familiar with fastbbot and RSD could lead to more problems if done incorrectly so I would go the external way.
Do you have a card reader/usb for your micro sd card? If so, you can take your external out of the phone and install anything you want then turn off phone and put in your card again and access recovery.
Turn the phone on while holding "power" and "volume down" until white letters show up saying fastboot on the top right corner of the screen. Then release both buttons. It will still say fastboot at this point. Click the volume down button until it cycles to android recovery. Then click power up to enter recovery. Scroll through the menu down to mounts and storage and click the power button to select it. then scroll down again and select mount USB storage. Select it and then connect your phone to your pc and transfer the files you want. This is all assuming you've installed CWM or another 3rd party recovery.
I have CWM 4.0.1.4 installed
The restore continually fails and if I use advanced to try to restore the data folder on its own it says Error while formatting data
External 2gig SD Card placed in phone:
I cant find the external SD card in the list when I try to use it for installing a new ROM
Accessing phone via USB cable & PC:
when I go to mounts & storage / mount USB
it says,

Leaving this menu unmount
your SD card from your PC
Unmount

I connect the phone to the PC at this point and it does nothing, no beebs nothing...
I tried 2 different cables
it did when before...
Hi,
Since yesterday, i've been attempting to boot windows 10 on a sd card in order to try it without messing with the internal ssd. To do that I had to transform my sd card into a fixed disk in order to create multiple partitions, then i convert it into a gpt format and partitioned it based on microsoft recommendations, i used the dism command to apply install.wim image on the windows partition and bcdboot to create to boot files on the efi partition. Sadly after booting on the sd card, i've encountered a bsod saying inaccessible boot device.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks.
try to make windows to go on your sdcard. it's must work.
when normal windows booting, it unmount all usb devices.
windows to go specially created for working from usb storage.
Microsoft modified versions of their OS (Windows 8.1 and above) to detect whether :
1. They are Enterprise versions. No Enterprise means no booting.
2. They are running from "authorized" USB devices - They have a whole list of approved ones on their site.
That is why it doesn't boot. Once you get to the Windows Loading Circle Screen, it'll remain stuck there, spinning forever. I hope they change that soon with newer builds of Windows 10, though. Wasn't working till 9926. Windows 8 works though.
Full easy instructions for running remix os off usb stick without errors for noobs
This is a working usb install media creator method for remix os installation and legacy bios circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.
You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media
you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s
the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.
For first installer drive it will be basic fat 32 install. you will need rufus usb boot media creator
after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive with the size of your choice to ext 4 on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus usb boot media creator and the remix os iso version 2.0402
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot up again to write the config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix for version 2.0402 which updates to version 2.0403)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions unless you have version 2.0403 iso)( this update DOSENT APPLY TO REMIX OS version 2.0403 or 3.0+ INSTALLATION)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself using full drive internal storage space.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)
**** Newbie Errors to avoid******
1. make sure you format the drive correctly, sometimes errors at this stage will create errors later on and affect later installation and will create boot up failures
2. i have to stress this once again as once i formatted the same drive with the same settings in minitool partition manager but in different order for example: instead of formatting it ext 4 then applying changes then setting it to primary then applying changes then setting the partition to active flag and applying changes, i did format ext 4 and change partition to primary all at once then applied changes then set it to active flag and applied changes and later after remix os install the usb wouldnt boot saying "missing operating system error" so caution.
3. after you format the drive with ext 4 partition the usb drive will be unrecognizable in windows. (do not use windows unplug usb drive feature to remove the drive, just pull it out)
4. make sure you pull the first installer drive out before booting the newly created ext 4 usb as it may affect boot up
5. sometimes for power saving reasons the screen might go blank while installing as installing takes time dont panic just press power button or any key to revive the system
6. if you dont get a usb drive faster than 10 mb/s then you will have problems if you continue with the installation and alot of system lag
7. its happened to me many times before so listen carefully: if you dont format the drive correctly even the drives transfer write speed can be greatly affected for example i formatted the usb drive and made a mistake but it was not detectable as it said all was fine i think i formatted the usb drive fat32 without first deleating the existing partition (just converted it) then with remix os installation at the stage where you boot up the installed drive for the first time to do a drive write speed test it was telling me the drives speed was below 5 mb/s ( the drive was a lexar p23 usb 3.0 16gb 150 mb/s read 60 mb/s write) and warned me about install failure then i formatted the drive again this time deleting the patition first then applying changes and doing the rest of the steps one by one each time applying changes after only changing one setting then at the remix os installation speed test this time it was reporting 60 mb/s write speeds!
8. remix os works like a charm on intel cpus and intel integrated gpus and i dont have other makes to test so this tutorial is only for legacy bios and intel cpu and gpu (tested all working)
9. This is something so basic but having a data indicator led on your usb drive or usb hub will save you waiting hours! most waiting is due to not knowing whats happening or not knowing if there is an error or not so try and get a usb drive with an led that tells you if the system is currently writing/working to disk and when that led stops blinking for a long period e.g 2 mins then you will know the install has crashed or android is not loading. Also with slower drives the waiting period is longer as the system takes longer to write to the drive (a 544MB/s msata SSD FLASH drive takes 5 secs to install while a usb 3.0, 60 MB/s write drive will take 15 mins) but if you have a data status led which shows its still blinking then atleast you will know the installation/loading is still working and no need to abort it. Also Android os constantly writes to the drive when running so you will see the data status led constantly blink too and if that ever stops you know you have encountered a system crash. Also the led shows how well remix os is running as regards speed of the operating system, for example at the start of loading remix os or when doing a task the led stays constanly blinking RAPIDLY but after loading or finishing the task the led defaults to a blink per second (this is classed as normal operation and healthy) but when the led is constantly blinking RAPIDLY without pauses or stays on for a long time then it means the operating system is not running smoothly as it should and then you should check if theres a problem formatting or if its a fake drive etc.
10. Using slow usb drives or fake usb drives will get very HOT and will cause the error "not responding...wait or close" error while very fast drives will always stay COOL without system lag and errors.
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update 2.0403 addresses the boot media creation errors of remix os 2.0203 . After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 123,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.

Wrong forum, this forum is in regards to the tablet jide released.
Could a mod move this to the remix os for PC forum.
