I installed cm7 yesterday using verygreen's Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater. That went well and booted fine but i didn't unlock the screen right away and suddenly the nookcolor booted into the stock rom and then wrote it's normal sdcard format into the boot partition on my cm7 card. I shut down and put the card into my computer and deleted the new folders the nook added then I installed gapps by doing this:
1. Then I setup my wireless.
2. Turned nook off and pulled sdcard.
3. Connected sd card to computer.
4. Make backup of uImage and uRamdisk
5. Renamed uRecImage to uImage and uRecRamdisk to uRamdisk
6. Downloaded the latest gapps zip file and copied it to the sd card.
7. Copied the update cm zip file that I originally used from the initial install back to the sd card.
8. Ejected card, inserted card into nook and booted up.
8. Recovery popped up and started to unzip both zip files.
10. Let it finish and then booted normally.
11. Set up the market.
Now for my question. When I opened the gallery my pictures were there even though I had not loaded any, same things with my music in the music player. For some reason the CM7 sdcard is seeing these files from my nooks internal storage where these files are located. My understanding is the card does not react with the nook storage....did I do something wrong. The nook boots and operates fine without the card.
I wanted to ask this question in the """Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater''' thread but being new it wouldn't allow me to do so.
Never mind I got my answer
I got my answer elsewhere.
Abysmal CM7.performance from sd
What brand and model SD for CM7 to get.acceptabke performance. I created a card but download is abysmal and readers are MUCH slower than factory to the point of worthlesness.

I feel pretty dumb asking this but here goes. When installing clockwork on the micro sd card that just assumes I am placing my micro sd directly into my pc to install the files, correct? The guide says to put the files on the micro sd card but I just Want to make sure I'm not supposed to do this with the micro sd card in the g-tab somehow. Also if anyone could point me to a video guide of how to install clockwork and then vegan I would love you forever. I feel like I could do it just fine but I'm one of those people that just needs extra clarification.
Merry Christmas!
It doesn't matter if you put the files on your sdcard from you tablet or your pc. It only matters that your sdcard has a file named update.zip on the root and a file named command in a recovery folder
/sdcard2/update.zip
/sdcard2/recovery/command

I previously had bricked my Xoom and was able to get it back to stock (with help from the forum). I then rooted it and was going to try flash BRD's Kernal, 3.1 update, bootloader, ect. I DL'd the files and saved them to my SD card. Popped the SD card in. Rebooted into Clockword and could not see my external SD to flash from. I went into the advanced setting in CWM and checked to see if the SD card was mounted... It wasn't. I don't even have the mount/unmount SD option anymore.
I went to the forums and kept getting looped back to the Clockwork Mod 3.2.0.0 thread. Is there a way to push this file through ADB? I'm new to ADB so I don't know if it's even possible. If so which file? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to the post, I can't see the external card anywhere. Not in the file manager or on my PC, via USB. I've formatted the SD card in my Droid 2 and my PC. That's all that I can think of to add to this.
You can push the recovery in fastboot. Make sure your CWM is version 3, not the version 4. Get it from the forums, in fact the link in my sig for all 20 stock images has everything you need.

if you loaded 4.0.0.4 already and if you have rom manager you can scroll to the bottom and choose "All ClockworkMode Recoveries" and choose 3.0.2.5, then go to thread i linked and flash that..
Thats how far my knowledge goes
Hope it helps
I've copied Turkawa's post as an alternative to pushing files through adb. If you go the adb route you need to download all of the necessary files on your computer. Also make sure to only flash the image file (.img) not a zip file through adb.
Good luck!

If you can't see your SD card anywhere that is problem number one. If you have a SD card in your droid2, put it in the xoom while it is powered off and boot into clockwork. If you can read the card you have narrowed your problem to the card itself. Try using Panasonic SD formatter (Google for the free app) to format the card and try again.
OK, I got everything set up and it boots within 30 sec with my Gingerbread based MROM. But, I do not know why it can not show how much space my SD card (not the external one) has in the setting and it says that the SD card is unmounted. And for the camera, when I open it, it says that I have to put a SD card in order to use it (I assume that it refers to the external one), but my external SD card is already in my phone. Also, in the music app, when I open it, it says that my SD card is busy, which one it refers to? However, in the file manager, I still can able to see everything inside my external SD card while it says the SD card (not the external one) is empty. Really confusing... Can you guys explain all these?

if everything was working fine before you flashed the rom your on id start there..try restoring your backup and make sure you wipe caches and factory reset before the restore then see if everything is working..if so then reflash the rom and dont forget the caches wipe and factory before the flash.if its still not right maybe you have a bad download of the rom..try redownloading it or flash a different rom see how that works...also to be on the safe side wipe everything twice ..that way nothing gets left over that can cause glitches like that
I'm having the worst time trying to find out how to friggin' backup my phone to my external sd card. For some reason, I can do it to my internal storage, but have no way of getting it backed up to my external SD card. I can see the option to select it, but I can't actually select it. I think I have to create a folder on my external SD card for the root but I just can't figure it out. Does the whole entire SafeStrap file need to be copied over to my SD cars as well with a repeat process of installing it the same way in which I did for the internal storage too?
Have you tried backing it up then manually copy pasting it to your sd card?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
I have not, as I assumed that while that might be an option, that if I cannot select the external storage option then something is wrong with SafeStrap. If all I have to do is manually copy it over to my external SD card, and with that done Safestrap can still function OK, then that is what I can do. I thought there was something smaller I might have been missing, so I wanted to make sure it was done accurately. Thanks for the input!
EDIT: My real worry with this, is that if I cannot select external SD storage, then how will I select the files I need to install when flashing ROM? I don't have enough space on my internal storage for the files, and would have to put them onto my external SD card, but if I can't select it then I have no clue how I'll be able to flash the ROM.

I thought I had the same issue and mashed the radio button a bunch of times out of frustration and it eventually worked. It's like the touch isn't as responsive in that area of the screen when in SS.
Well, I got the ROM to work. Since my internal storage is only 5 GB, I couldn't leave both the backup file and the ROM zip files on the same storage device, so I moved the backup manually to my external SD and left the ROM.zip on my internal. I flashed them, got the ROM to work but when I opened it up and booted, as I expected, the phone is like new (nothing installed like I originally had it). Well, I can't restore the backup since it is on my external SD card and since I can't still select that option under SafeStrap, I'm kind of in a pickle here. As well, I my computer couldn't recognize my phone either when on the new CM10 ROM. I'm just going ROM this weekend. If any of you have any clue how to get my computer to recognize my phone when booted on the CM10 ROM, or know how to get SafeStrap to allow me to select my external SD card for storage etc I would much appreciate it!!
So I've had this SD card for a while now (32GB Sandisk Micro SD) I use it primarily for nandroid and music but recently the Android/data on it has been causing some issues.
- Phone can't read it in Android OS
- TWRP can read it just fine until I go into the folder previously mentioned. Which will then un-mount(?) The card and I have to reboot TWRP to bread it again.
- If I insert it into my computer it will work fine but will lag when I navigate to the data folder. I also can't compress or move it.
Here's the weirdest part though, The entire data folder consists of empty folders. There's one cache file but that's it. If you guys care I can probably get an Image of the card (With personal stuff removed).
