[Q] Bricked Nook Color - General Questions and Answers

Ok I've been trying for two days now to fix a friends nook and can't get anywhere. I know it was rooted before and he tried to go back to stock and in the process formatted everything including boot so it will only boot from a cwr sdcard. When it does boot i am unable to install anything from the card because it will not mount the card. I have attempted everything i can find with adb, adam outlers ubuntu recovery, and different cards of different sizes and different cwr files. I have no clue what to do now. all i can do is either boot to cwr sdcard of boot.img sdcard to the "n" screen but then i have no dab access.
What can I do?
Please Help
Update: I've got it repartitioned and booting on it owns now but only to the "n" screen with no sd card installed. The only thing I'm am having a problem with is getting the system.img file dd'd onto the sd card because it keeps giving me a protocol error. Have tried a few different things but either get "no more room left on device" or protocol error. I also don't have the serial number for the device either. by the way it's a nook color.

Partitioning my SD Card.

I'm new to Android, converted from Crapple. So please, bear with me.
I've successfully rooted my HTC Desire with rEVOked, so it said and the special permissions is there.
I tried partitioning with ROM Manager and it just breaks my Recovery mode, and I have to re-boot, reflash the old Recovery through Rom Manager and it's an endless loop.
I've been TRYING to get GParted to work on my PC(W7) and I can't for the life of me, I've tried mounting the image through Daemon Tools, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be executing.
Basically;
I want to partition my SD Card so I can flash it with LeeDroids ROM, but I can't partition.
Any ideas?
ps: I've tried searching all over the net/xdk forums and I can't find anything that worked for me. :[

[Q] Cannot mount SD card in CWM

I have been at this for around four hours. I cannot get CWM to mount my SD. Troubleshooting:
1. Removed/reinserted SD multiple times.
2. Reformatted SD, both with high and low-level formats.
3. Used a different SD.
4. Tried the ADB fix in the CWM thread. When I do that, after entering each command, I get "error 22"
SD works for everything else, including stock recovery. I have no idea what to do.
[SOLVED]
Ok, so I figured it out. I was running the ADB commands while the phone was booted up. I didn't realize they had to be done while in CWM. Might wanna add that to the CWM post for us noobs.

[Completed] CM11 not visible in recovery

Hello XDA:
Earlier today I successfully flashed my nook color to CM7.2 using TWRP 2.3.0.2 as described in this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227.
After that I successfully flashed TWRP 2.8.3.0.
Right now I am trying to flash CM11 with the corresponding g.apps, but the files are not visible in recovery. What can I do? This is my first time rooting/loading roms so any help I can get is much appreciated.
Hi there,
Try to put that files (zips of CM and GApps) on the external SD Card and try again. maybe is something wrong with that recovery and didn't recognize your internal memory.
Also give us more details about your device for better pointing to the right forum.
Thanks
Hi thanks for the reply. I was actually trying to load the files from an external SD the entire time.
I managed the fix the problem luckily. I had an extra SD card on hand so I re-downloaded the files and tried flashing them to the device from the other card. It worked.
Is this a good way to do things in the future? That way I can keep my files intact on the main SD card and use a seperate SD card to flash new ROMs etc. Though I dont know if the file systems on the main SD card will be interchangeable between ROMs.
The device is a Nook Color (encore). I used the link that I posted in the OP to load CM7 and then CM11. The Nook Color community seems rather dead, so I posted here.
Glad to hear that you have done it.
Take care with SD Card no name. You can loose important files like photos or other docs if something goes wrong.
Good luck

[Completed] Wiped all system data, now stuck on cwm custom recovery mode

I am a complete newbie to rooting. I followed the kingoroot guidelines and rooted my Idea Aurus 3 phone. Root was success. The next step I did was downloading custom recovery and cyanogenmod ROM from here to my memory card
I flashed the custom recovery with flashify. The next step I did was wiping all data from the device by entering in to recovery mode (including cache and everything)
I was hoping I could simply install zip from sd card. But when i click on this option, I cannot find my sd card nor zip file (I checked most folders including emmc, etc, sd-ext and couldn't find SD card. The custom recovery name is Phylz touch 6
Now basically I have a phone without OS and all I can do is accessing custom recovery. I don't have a back up too
I can also see an error log "Cannot mount custom path"
I formatted the memory card to exFAT from exFAT 32 hoping that would work, it didn't help as well.
Also tried to connect phone to pc using USB (thinking I can move rom to system memory), but wouldn't detect phone memory
Now, is there any way to get this fixed? Any help would be awesome
Thanks!!!

[Completed] TWRP not seeing External Storage

Hello All. I’ve run into an issue with my new Moto G4+. I rooted the phone a couple of weeks ago and all was well with that. I downloaded the AOKP rom last Friday and was going to flash it over the weekend. To my surprise, TWRP does no see my external SD card so I can’t do a backup. The internal storage does not have enough space to backup. I have the 16gb model. I can see/use the SD card with no problem when the phone is running. I’ve searched the forums for a solution, but the only thing I’ve found is to format the SD card as internal storage. However, folks seem to be really, really divided on this solution. I really want to flash AOKP, but I need to do a Nandroid backup first. I tried doing an on-line backup with the TWRP app, but it doesn’t provide me with an MD5 for verification. Any help with getting TWRP in recovery mode to see the SD card would be greatly appreciated. TWRP file manager and terminal allow me to see the card (sdcard1 is its name in TWRP recovery), but it does not show up for "select storage" or "mount" options.
Thanks.
