I am running clockworldmod and am trying to format the system and data. System formats fine, but when I format data it gives me an error. I recently ran manualnooter but had not discovered the cyanogenmod. I want to get the cyanogenmod running on my nook color, but I cannot get the memory cleared to do so. HELP?!?!?!?!

I installed yesterday the 4.5.5. Missing music app, apn is bad, everything else ist just fine. So I want to upgrade to 4.5.9. Is it possible without formatting dalvik and cache?
OK, I tried it: It's installable without wiping, but as it formats with ext4, everytinh was erased. It took me hours to install and customize 4.5.5. This was better on CM7 (on the Defy), where you were able to update and all data and apps remained in the state they ahve been before. Sniff..., there should be an upgrade version...
I wanted to go the data2sd route and tried installing by formatting the 64mb class 10 microsd with minitool partition. After installing everything , the tablet stuck at "encryption error" only option was to reset. It did that everytime i started it. So i did a factory reset, format system and it threw a error saying cannot format sdcard android secure. So i then reinstalled cleanrom using the unters rom at the bottom selection and deleted cache then dalvick took sd card out and rebooted. Finally no encyption error.
Looked in es file explorer cleanrom installed to the /data, ilooked in sdcard/ and there is a file that data2sd installed called !microSD and i cannot delete it. I opened /sdcard in root explorer and the !microSD isnt there, i tried "show hidden files" in settings but it still wont show. I booted clockworkmodand chose installfrom internal sd and the !microSD shows. I click on it and it just opens another !microSD, i can keep clicking it and at the top if the screen it will look like this /!microSD/!microSd/!microSD/ and on and on. I want to delete it or format the internal sd but i am scared to format it, i have heard horror stories of bricking when choosing format emmc or format sdcard. I have tried format system to startfresh but it will format system,then data but it will say cannot format android secure skipping format. I dont mind wiping /sdcard since i backed up a few pics and movies.
I did format the 64gb with gparted. I want to try data2sd again but imicrosd file needs to be removed most likely. I tried to rename it too but es file explorer wont let me.

Nevermind, i decided to bite the bullet and install cleanrom 3.0.3 and followed directions for data2sd. It installed without encryption error and the imicrosd file was gone. But from what i have eread about data2sd it didnt install correctly because the file system should have showed sdcardi which it didnt. I tried downloading a torrent movie and the tablet became unuseable,freezing. Also moving files from the ext4 to fat32 were sloooow. I decided to flash a kernal from the t700t forum on the data2sd subject. That resulted in the encryption scenario. So i factory wiped in clockwork and installed the newest cleanrom 3.3 and the 3.2 chromidata2sd file then the mount2sd file and then the kernal pack and used the 10.4.20 tf300 kernal. Rebooted fine. The tablet is real fast but i havent tried a torrent download. I also had two weird half reboots with each one when i tried deleting a file in file manager and then in es file. I do have a folder called internal sdcard which has the usual files on it. Didnt have that with the old 3.03. I did but it was empty.
Anyone know why it reboots when deleting a file? I did disable fsync though.
Don't use minitool to partition the card. It corrupts and causes reboots, etc. Even though the d2sd thread recommended it, don't.
Use gparted instead and all will be well.

I figured that out after the first encryption Error. I then spent all for one day trying to figure out how to partition the card in gparted. I should have deleted both partitions and then format them, instead I moved them in gparted and that took 4 hours. Then i found a write up on exactly what to do.

Well i just went through 4 hours of being terrified that I bricked my tablet. I kept getting reboots, i installed androbench and when i clicked on the benchmark button the tablet rebooted. Tried to run the benchmark again and rebooted again. I then tried to uninstall it which rebooted the tablet again. I went to clockwork recovery and wiped /factory reset i then proceded to reinstall cleanrom 3.3 with stock kernal,then format cache, installed chromi.3.2data2sd,wiped cache,started the kernal installer and chose unters 10.4.4.20 ,wiped cache,flashed mountdata2sd.zip, factory reset. I restarted to a bootloop. I then wiped and factoryreset again and installed cleanrom again this time choosing no kernal and wentthrough the steps and had a bootloop again. I started worrying and did another factory reset but installed stock kernal and didnt install data2sd, rebooted to a the asus screen with blue loading bar, that screenflashed black and then stuck on asus screen.
I then freaked outa bit because i dont save backups. I then did a horrible thing, i formatted emmc. I had read a few posts about installing a fresh rom for thepurpous of selling. A few posts mentioned that it was safe to format emmc but to be careful since it might format an external card too. I rremoved the sd card beforehand. I then did a factory reset in clockwork and proceded to install cleanrom . Install went fine and i clicked on reboot system. BOOTLOOP! I was really freaking out now. So i looked up format emmc some more and the horror stories started appear. I downloaded peri one click root+recovery/fix-bootloops+softbricks. I had android phones listed in system properties but no adb. While searching for a work around i came across how to reinstall stock firmware over a rom. I downloaded the tf300t firmwware 2013.01.18 up date unzipped it and threw it ona microsd. In clockworkmod i chose install zip from sdcard and boom fixed!!!!!!!!!! I was sooooo happy. So i now have a locked tf300t unrooted factory fresh. But there is one problem, in file manager on /sdcard/ there is that file that mountdata2sd.zip installed called !microSD that shows 0.0bytes and i cannot delete it. It doesnt show up in windows 7 though. I have show hidden files checked too. My plan is to reinstall clockworkmod and try data2sd one more time but i want to delete that !microsd file first. I need to make a few more posts until i can ask in developer forum.

I just need one more post so i can reply in developers
+1 I have the same problem as you.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA Premium HD app
i am same problem
ROM: Scott's 10.1 6/16
Play Store Version: 4.1.6
Rooted: Yes
So after flashing to the 6/16 CM 10.1 unofficial, my phone will not install or upgrade 2 apps, Icon Pack- Black and Blue and OfficeSuite Pro 7. I thought it may have been the size that wasn't allowing it, but other apps over 25mb have installed and upgraded just fine.
I've tried to unmount the sd card and install but had no luck, also tried without the sd card in the phone too. I've also cleared the cache and data on both the play store and download manager with no luck. I've tried on wifi and nothing. I have also tried deleting my google account from the phone and that too didn't work. Also wiped the cache partition with no luck too.
Stealthycheif sent me the apk, but they just updated today and the update won't work, Mobile Systems told me to contact Google and they basically said nothing they could do since it's a custom rom.
Is there anything else I can try?
Non-critical, just an observation that I am looking for additional information on.
I purchased a 32g S3 phone from someone that already updated to CM10.2. It looked like the seller reset something (no apps, data, phone started in initial setup mode), but there was obviously a lot of trash left over on internal storage that I wanted to clear away.
After clearing everything away, and downloading several apps to help remove more, I found that the internal storage was still >50% utilized. Even digging around in the root file system, I was still at a loss to figure out where more than 12gb was being consumed.
I tried a factory reset in clockworkmod, clear cache, etc. I did not dive into formatting partitions. On restart, I still see >50% consumed space and temp folders left around in the user data /sdcard area.
Out of curiosity I tried the factory reset from the CM10 system menu. After rebooting phone, it seems like all storage was properly cleaned up with about 26gb of 32g free; significant improvement.
So, there is clearly something different between a CWM factory reset and a CM10 factory reset. For the latter, it looks like the whole user-data area was formatted and repopulated with necessary folders/files. I suspect my “lost” space was somewhere in root….
I am just curious to know what more the CM10 system factory reset is doing above what the bootloader is trying to do.
Thanks!
When you do a Factory Reset in recovery (I use TWRP so it may be phrased different in CWM) it is intentional that this option does not wipe /sdcard (internal storage). You have to choose to wipe internal storage (in TWRP it's called Formatting data") by going into that Format menu to wipe all of your data from the phone. If a factory reset wiped internal storage, then there would be an incredible amount of angry people who lost important files like pics and videos. The option is there in custom recovery, it's just buried so that when you find it, you intend to use it on purpose and not by accident.
Edit: Factory reset is literally clearing cache, dalvik cache, and the rom from your phone. If you boot it up without installing a rom then your phone won't do anything cuz it's without an OS.

And the 'system' partition in 'data'.
But all that other crap apps plunk on your internal memory remains, unless you do a 'system wipe' from TWRP or CWM. But that will delete everything on the internal memory. That's what I'd do if I were giving my device away... though I tend to just Odin/RSD/CAB back to stock (depending on the device) for best results.
Ok heres the story (its not too long don't worry)-
But I URGENTLY need help to fix it please please.
I have an LG GT 540.
I got it 2months ago, and it came as factory standard, and on LG's android 1.6 operating system (so unusable basically).
Over the 2months I managed to upgrade it to a Cyanogen 4.2.1 custom rom, managed to learn how to partition my SD card into fat32 & ext2 and then installed Mounts2sd and used it to freeup space on phone.
(The phone comes with only 138mb storage, so is unusable without mounts2sd quite simply).
The phone was constantly freezingup everytime I tried to load any app ever,
but after clicking the 'Fix Permissions' tab in the recovery menu, it was all working fine and everything was working fine.
HOWEVER as 1 thing wasn't working on an app I love, and re-installing the app didn't fix the issue, I decided to wipe the whole phone, reinstall the ROM and try re-installing the app then.
But when trying to clear and wipe everything from the phone, in addition to clicking data wipe/cache wipe/dalvik cache wipe, I also clicked on the buttons saying ''Format system / Format SDcard / Format sd-ext''.
When I tried to reboot phone it was bricked, as had no boot screen logo, just was plain dark screen.
I fixed this by removing sd card from phone, putting it into laptop, placing the Cyanogen 4.2.1 rom file directly onto the sdcard, placing sd back into phone, rebooting into recovery menu, and then re-installing the ROM from the sd card.
However I now have a massive issue in that whilst the phone will now work without Mounts2sd installed (well it works but I cant install any apps as no space to do that),
As soon as I install Mounts2sd on the phone and try to use it, whilst it does freeup the memory its meant to, it totally mucksup the entire phone by making every app freeze, making phone not turn off straight away when clicked to... ect
I have removed sdcard, re-partitioned it on my laptop into Fat32 & Ext2, re-installed the ROM multiple times, and then re-installed mounts2sd on the fresh rom and tried to use it,
But everytime I try it just screwsup the phone and makes all the apps and everything on the phone freeze!!
Ive now wiped all data/cache/dalvik,
re-flashed that cyanogen rom onto the phone again (mustve done that 50x now in last 2months),
and am about to try formatting the sd card again on my laptop, then re-partitioning it to Fat32 & Ext2.
But before I re-install Mounts2sd and get the exact same issue all over again,
please please can someone tell me how I can fix this or what im doing wrong??
And so how exactly I can install Mounts2sd back onto my phone again, but without it messingup the whole phone and making everything on it freeze?
Thankyou soooo much inadvance
