[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vahntern:
Hello,

I'm currently running my Nook HD+ on Jellybean, using one of verygreen's boots.

(NookHDplus-verygreen-New-SD-add-bokbokan-Cyanoboot-rev0-(06.01.13) to be exact)

I'm wanting to upgrade to KitKat, because a few reviews say it provides a better experience.

So I followed the instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602796

It's all very familiar, and is pretty much the same exact process as I followed when I successfully did the verygreen boot above.

I've got everything loaded onto my 8GB SanDisk SD Card, it's in my Nook HD+, and I'm ready to go.

At least, that's what I thought.

I seem to be having this issue where it's not able to find my SD Card.

When I load cyanoboot universal bootloader, CWM only gives me the options to install zips from /sdcard.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but /sdcard is classified as the internal "sd card"; and the thing I'm wanting is ext_sdcard, right?

So the question is, how do I point my device in the direction of the external SD Card, so it can boot from it?

Not sure if this helps, but when I spring my SD Card out and back in, it returns the following:

/storage/ext_sdcard: Idle-Unmounted

/storage/ext_sdcard: Checking

/storage/ext_sdcard: Idle-Unmounted

I could be wrong; as I'm no programmer, or by any means a developer, but this sounds like it's recognizing the drive, but unmounting it immediately after recognition.

Thanks in advance,

Vahn
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancorp:
I'm definitely no expert, but looking at the link you provided, step 6 says to copy the files to the INTERNAL SD (internal memory) as the current CWM can only read the internal SD. So it seems you boot from the external SD card, but you need the files on the internal memory for it to find them?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vahntern:
Update:

Fixed it myself.

I just had to completely re-format the SD Card, and drag/drop the ZIP files (CWM-Recovery-Ovation, CM-11, and PA_GAPPS).

Then I restarted the Nook WITHOUT THE SD CARD, and it started recognizing external_sd.

I put the SD Card in, mounted it, loaded the zips from external, and it worked like a charm.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digixmax:
Since your HD+ already had CM10.x on EMMC, there is a simpler process that does not require use of an external SD card: http://xdaforums.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-updating-hd-hd-internal-emmc-to-t2863171.

Sorry about the question, wich might be dummy but i want to change my hermes language, it's actually in Portuguese and I want to chage it to English.

I think this his in the extended rom, right?

Can I upgrade only the extended ROM?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
No, it's on the OS rom.

Yes, but that won't change your language.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] hugot:
So i need to flah an entire rom like the ones @ wiki: "Original Shipped ROM Versions", right?

By the way, what is "AKU" i can't find any info on this, just found that there's a new version 3.3 but what is it?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Yes

AKU = Adaptation Kit Update, similar to "service pack" in desktop version of window$.

Will try the latest one, last time i did this i bricked my device... hope this time it runs better!

Trying to find out where the "adunits" folder is on HDX.

I've got a little batch script that cycles personal images (not stock) instead of ads on rooted 7" HD & want to see if it will work on 7 or 8.9 HDX. Even if you've killed ads, maybe you can find the location. (It's in /data/securedStorageLocation/dtcp/ on the 2013 7" HD.) Can someone please give me this info?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
I just maxed my storage on my Tab S so i popped in a 8gb sd card. Do I need to mount it for any reason? Playing movies off of it works fine but for some reason when I go to the option mount sd card and format sd card there both blacked out and I cannot click them. I reformatted the card on my PC and put it back it but I still could not mount the card.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawz101:
Make sure your formatting it with a fat32 filesystem (not exfat or ntfs).

It should just mount automatically as long as it is the right filesystem format. fat32 works on Windows, Linux, and Mac but every other filesystem pretty much isn't fully supported across the board.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kchinth:
It should mount automatically when you insert it. The mount and format options are probably disabled since it's already mounted. There should be an option to unmount. It's usually recommended to format the card from the phone/tablet, rather than a PC.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

exFAT will work on this device too. For an 8GB card, the only real advantage is that you can store files larger than 4GB.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
Strange yesterday the format and unmount sd card were blacked out and un clickable. Today i woke up opened up my tablet and both options are functioning normally. I appreciate the replies either way.

A couple other questions....

Do I need to always unmount my card before removing it?

is there an option screen to choose what gets saved to my SD card and what does not? I was looking to maybe save a few apps to it as apposed to my internal storage.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kchinth:
You should unmount first to be safe (just like you should safely remove USB drives in Windows). I can't say I ever really have a need to remove mine though.

Different apps have different options. For example, camera apps often ask where to store the photos. There is no generic option screen.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
So once my internal storage gets full will all my apps and such just auto save to to my SD card?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhuhtala:
Not that easy

No, when your internal storage is full, you're done. Android 4.4.2 has severely limited what can be done with the SD card - you can't write to it without using an internal Samsung app - or rooting your tablet. You can't move apps to the SD card anymore...they've really crippled SD cards - maybe because none of their Nexus devices have SD card slots...very frustrating. Samsung could fix this quite easily but don't appear to be doing anything about it. If they would sell the 32 GB version of the tablet, I'd have that one without worrying when I run out of space...which will be very soon at this pace. Not impressed...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
You can easily move apps from your device to the sd card through the application manager in settings.

After trying to install safestrap to my verizon note 2 for many times with failure.

Today suduenly i tried again to reRoot my my ND7 android 4.4.2 note 2 with locked bootloader and try it again

i used ghettoroot-v0.2.2 within the attachment and after rooting and before installing safestrap i went directly to google play store

and updated my super su and after the update i launched super su and it asked for if i want to upgrade the su binary and i did

and after the reboot i installed safestrap and magic happend it is working and i do not have any idea what happend it is working :)

I tried to install this rom called - DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM from E-team and at first i create a rom slot and flashed over it but it failed to start and that is when i decided to flash over the stock slot and it worked ...

so all you need to do is

1 - root using ghettoroot-v0.2.2

2- update you super su

3- update su binary and reboot

4- install safestrap and reboot to it

5- wipe cach and dalik cache

6- flash the DN3 rom without removing the boot.img since their is no need for that .

7. your device got a new life :)

you can confirm from the screenshot below and have nice time every one :)

i added the updated super su apk within the attachment

#Wifi Fix

For those facing wifi problems with dn3 rom i have managed to solve that by using some files from aliance 4.4.2 rom

i copied the following files from alliance 4.4.2 rom to the dn3 zip file before flashing and wifi is working now

1 - i replaced the files directly within the /system folder not touching the the folders or sub files within the folders just the files directly within the /system

and wifi now works on dn3 (ditto)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jollybluehornet:
Your phone is not a verizon GN2. You have a GT7105 which is the GSM model. This method still does not work for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamakrem:
My Phone is Verizon SCH-I605 note 2

what you see in the screenshot is the result of installing dn3 (ditto )rom cause dn3 rom was ported to work on SCH-I605 without changing the build.prop

this method is completey working :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jollybluehornet:
Then I am mistaken. My bad ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Piombo71:
Hello guys, then the method works, just that I've done with the root Ghetto Root and it worked the same !!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beastmode:
Nice so it works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheJOJ:
So, yes it does work. However, I am now stuck on Ditto3 with no wi-fi, a very slow 4G connection, no safestrap, and I cannot get back to stock ROM to try to reflash Ditto3 until I can get some wifi up in this.

What can I do now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamakrem:
you have to root your ditto 3 the same way you rooted your nd7 and update your su and su binary and install safaestrap then you will be able to flash another rom i have updated post #1 you can find the new su within the attachment

i am still trying to find a way for the wifi to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamakrem:
i will be trying this rom : [Rom][4.4.2] AllianceRom_VZW Build 30 - 32 Themes [11/29/14][Fully Customizable][ND7]

and hope wifi works out of the box , i will report later
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheJOJ:
Excellent! Got it. Now using Alliance ROM 4.4.2 Build 30. Everything is checking out so far. I have a question still, however. Why is it that these larger - in file size - ROMs (like Ditto 3 and Alliance) work, but the smaller ones such as Liquid do not seem to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamakrem:
Those roms that are not working need their own kernel which we are not allowed to flash using safestrap since we have a locked bootloader

safestrap allows as to flash roms but not kernels ... so i belive almost only any rom that is compatible with the nd7 kernel will work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheJOJ:
One other question. I wiped everything but MicroSD, and System on Alliance. I seem to be getting some hitching in the performance every so often, and fairly high RAM usage with no easy way to clear it like in stock 4.4.2 in taskmanager. Could the hitching be linked to the skipping of the "system" wipe, or to the RAM? Was I supposed to wipe system?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamakrem:
For those facing wifi problems with dn3 rom i have managed to solve that by using some files from aliance 4.4.2 rom

i copied the following files from alliance 4.4.2 rom to the dn3 zip file before flashing and wifi is working now

1 - i replaced the files directly with the /system folder not touching the sub files within the folders just the files directly within the /system

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeepnutz:
Works well now

No problems on Alliance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Piombo71:
Hi guys, we need to change what files in / system to operate the Wifi? No one has described in the thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benfikaman:
Anyone answer this please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Takiyon:
HELP!!!

How did you get Alliance to work? I flashed it 3 times using safestrap and nothing. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheJOJ:
Well, first I flashed Ditto 3, then flashed Alliance, but noticed some weird things going on with the UI so I went back, wiped System in addition to Cache, Dalvik Cache, then reflashed it. I still have been having issues with the system-wide lag. It is especially apparent when typing with the keyboard, and changing the keyboard did not help.

Let me know if that helps. Also, make sure you are flashing over the stock slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benfikaman:
This worked great thanks for the tip on the WiFi. For those that weren't clear what worked was: download alliance rom and dn3 rom, open file explorer one window for each rom, go to system folder scroll down and replace only the available files not folders (in build prop etc) into the dn3 rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Piombo71:
Hi, I understand but what files should I replace? Be more specific please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benfikaman:
-so open up the alliance rom /system folder and the dn3 rom /system folder

- delete the build.prop, CSCVersion.txt, kern_sec_info, lkm_sec_info, and the SW_Configuration.xml files from DN3

-replace those files with the ones from the alliance rom /system rom folder

-boot into safestrap

-wipe cache dalvik cache

- flash the DN3 zip file with the newly replaced files in it

-enjoy

On a side note you will lose root and safestrap after installing the DN3 rom, but just reroot with the towelroot methods, update chainfire supersu from google play, open super user app and update binaries, and then reinstall safestrap and your done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Takiyon:
Thanks for the help.

I installed Alliance in the stock slot on my wifes phone and it works very well. No issues as of yet.

Hi,now the wifi works perfectly, but I used a different procedure listed from benfikaman, since i had already installed the rom DN3 to my sister, i directly overwrite the necessary files in / system with an file manager example Root Explorer, then I gave permissions rw-r - r-- and then I reboot the cell and the wifi is back to work !!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Matttrix:
I follow Iamakrem directions, but installed Alliance rom and did a few tweaks here and there to my liking and no issues what so for whomever wants to try it.

I basically backed up my phone and misc files etc and then copied Alliance rom to my SD Card and booted into Safestrap and did a wipe of everything and then installed the rom and everything went perfect., took just like 10-15 minutes from wiping to complete install. My WIFI speeds are around 22Mbps which is what it was before things. No LTE issues as well. Took a few reboots afterward for some custom setups and tweaking and updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rolltide78:
Ok..when I do this it says "Failed" in Safestrap. It's like replacing the files changes the md5 hash check. Did you all run into this problem? Which zip program did you use to replace?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benfikaman:
I extracted the zip files from alliance and kept the dn3 zip intact, I then just deleted the files in the dn3 zip keeping it compressed and dragged the files from alliance into dn3 zip. Again there are other ways I did not develop this way the op did and thanks to him and the developers of dn3 and alliance!

Everything that's not ND7 built, or doesn't have ND7 kernel will brick your device.
