So I did a wipe on my phone and installed Hero. Whenever I try to install an app it says "insufficient storage". I only have 9Mb available in my internal memory.. why is it so little?
I just formatted my 4Gb sdcard to Fat32 and ran sdsplit and got the following::
Code:
$ su

Android Batch File to Partition SD Card
This batch command file invokes the /sbin/parted and /sbin/tune2fs tools hosted by ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery 5.0.2.0 to control partitioning of your SD card for a variety of purposes, some of which are listed below.
It is a good idea to review the command line options and parameters of the parted and tune2fs tools: On your phone (for example, via computer-enabled ADB or terminal emulator), get root and enter:
# /sbin/parted --help
# /sbin/tune2fs --help
I decided to make this a separate thread for a number of reasons:
Streamline the process of making room for second ROM in a dual boot configuration (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651356 ). These commands can theoretically be rolled into a flashable zip to almost fully automate a dual-boot install of fixed ROMs, e.g. CM9 and CM7.
My Dual Boot threads have “sensory overload” written all over them
The amount of material presented here is probably enough to warrant a separate thread
This is an Android-friendly alternative to GParted/MiniTool. For example there is no need to pull SD card, partition and reinsert. Of course, GParted has the pleasant GUI and gives you a chance to review your changes before committing, whereas the Android “parted” tool is highly utilitarian.
Batch commands are quickly and easily modified to create/remove/adjust partitions. The general consensus is that for large files, ext3 R/W speeds are faster than those of FAT32. And ext3[4] is more stable and can handle files exceeding the maximum 4GB allowed by FAT32.
Batch commands are easily modified to perform customizations other than dual boot
Some users may wish to host their entire system on SD card: ROM, music, pictures, movies etc.
Some users may wish to return their SD cards to a traditional single-boot state by running a subset of these batch commands
That said, I strongly advise that you NOT run these commands UNLESS you are comfortable with ALL of the following:
1. /sdcard (FAT32) and ALL subdirectories copied to /emmc/sdcard-backup. Ask yourself: Do I have enough space left on my 10GB emmc partition to host a full backup of /sdcard? AND, will there be enough room on the /sdcard filesystem to restore this backup AFTER downsizing my SD card's FAT32 partition?
2. Any existing ext* partitions of SD card are blown away, for example those generated by a previous dual boot zip install. In other words, you lose /system, /cache and /data from an existing sdcard-based ROM.
3. You MAY lose all data on your (backed-up) FAT32 partition depending on what boundaries were used for resizing.
Note that I do not include a command to push /emmc/sdcard-backup back onto SD card. That is because:
There may not be enough room on /sdcard after a FAT32 downsize, and
There may be a data conflict when flashing a different dual boot configuration as opposed to an updated one. But at least there is a full backup of /sdcard FAT32 --- assuming emmc has enough room to host it.
Presently there is no logic to detect the storage limits of the /emmc and /sdcard filesystems. I will leave that to you.
SO... if for ANY reason you are NOT comfortable with the potential changes outlined above, I recommend that you please STOP HERE and consider researching this topic further until you are comfortable.
For those willing and able to give this a try, I strongly recommend first performing an ADB-assisted run (i.e. with a computer hosting Android SDK Platform Tools) using an SD card with at least 4GB open (to be safe) AND with enough room on emmc to host a FULL backup of your entire /sdcard filesystem (/sdcard and all its subdirectories).
Fully charge your battery! CWM draws a lot of current, even if nothing else is running.

I have formatted my nook via minitool partitiion manager accidentally... The only backup i have is a 79mb image file i made with roadkil diskimage and reading the threads, i am realising this is not a good backup... indeed i tried restoring this backup via roadkil diskimage but my nook still cannot boot. it says "install failed"
So I am following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104145 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004630 in the hope of recovering my nook but I am stucked/unsure for some steps... here are the steps i followed in detail below with questions in red:
I made a backup of my nook disk using dd (this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142983)
But my backup image is 2,000,683,008 bytes instead of 1958739968 bytes as noted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142983
Is this a problem?
My nook disk looks like this in minitool partition manager:

I used partition recovery to check for my deleted partitions with the following settings
Scanning Range : Full Disk

It detected the following partitions... (I don't see the Factory partition and which partitions should I recover?)
I was thinking about recovering the following checked partitions:
Below is how it looks like (I haven't apply changes yet) but this does not match the partitions described in http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_stock_partition_table
How do i copy the partitions and which partitions should i copy to my sdcard?
Do i need the file Nook Simple Touch Glowlight Image (without Rom partition): goo.gl/W4OYy (280.74mb) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104145 (The link does not work anymore)
I am stuck now... i don't want to continue without proper guidance... i don't want to mess up... Please take a look at my questions and guide me what to do next. thx in advance
First recover the /rom partition.
16 Meg is the correct size.
Copy all the files to someplace safe.
Make it read-only, burn a CD, whatever.
Make sure that you have sane files.
It would be best if you restore the partition table using nookpart.sh
You need to either use a Linux system and noogie or else get Clockwork Mod Recovery and ADB working and use that shell.
ok thx i have been able to recover the ROM partition. I restored it and save it an sd card. then i wrote the Nook Simple Touch Glowlight Image (without Rom partition) to the internal storage... it have all the partitions. I restored the ROM partition and it booted fine...
only issue i have now is the NST does not recognise the storage/NOOK partition as pointed out in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48019675#post48019675

ok thx i have been able to recover the ROM partition. I restored it and save it an sd card. then i wrote the Nook Simple Touch Glowlight Image (without Rom partition) to the internal storage... it have all the partitions. I restored the ROM partition and it booted fine...
only issue i have now is the NST does not recognise the storage/NOOK partition as pointed out in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48019675#post48019675
I have run nookpart.sh and here's the result: Does not seem that it has corrected my partition table:

I have the same problem... I have a nook simple touch and I wrote in it a nook simple touch glowlight backup image, is that the problem?
The phrase "install failed" is still appearing.
i HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A SIMPLE TOUCH BACKUP IMAGE.
OHH PLEASE.. i THINK i'M CLOSE to recover it!

what nook simple touch glowlight image did you write onto it?
1) Do you have a backup?
2) First thing to do before making any change is to backup, Use this guide to make a proper backup : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142983
How did you exactly got the "install failed" problem?
I know that link, but it doesnt work right know, my nook is bricked.
I wrote a nook sp glowlight backup that I found in a forum from here. It has around 79 mb (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836188&page=4) and I know I need a 1.82gb backup.
Well, my problem is---> I deleted all paritions from my nook when I was rooting it. I have two backups but any of these works. The first one I made has 79mb (as the file I downloaded from this page) but I think I made it in wrong way; and a second one wich has 1.82gb I think I had made it AFTER I deleted the partitions, because it has anything. But, as I told you, I've made a lot of tries with noogie, and the file I downloaded is the only one that works....so when I wrote the file of the link, the "install failed" appears.
What can I do?
The only solution I see now is: find out a COMPLETE nook sp backup, but I have read that the "complete backups" of 1.82gb have personal information about the reader or something like that, and one wants to share it.
What do u know about it?

1) First thing to do before making any change is to backup, Use this guide to make a proper backup : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1142983
2) Then, with minitool partition manager, use partition recovery (full scan) to recover your partitions especially the ROM partition (the essential partition). Copy the ROM partition to an unallocated space on your harddrive or usb drive.
3) Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2104145 for more details, it works!
I have been able to fix my problem with nook partition not mounted correctly.. but i have one issue remaining.... I can mount my /system folder as writable via adb shell... it remains read only.. so i have to use root explorer to move my files into that folder... I am trying to replace the .ttf for unicode support but i often get boot issues when doing so... sometimes my nook does not boot anymore if i had replaced fonts in the /system/fonts ..... any idea? (I didn't have this problem before withe the exact same files i am replacing)
@marya.a
ur only problem that u must have ROM partitions files .... then everything else is fine ..... cuz u just need an nook Image (my last update since i was here the partitioning if NSTwG same as NST) and empty all partitions from any files .... then copy ur Uniq ROM Partition files to ur ROM partition now on ur nook .... get 1.2.1 update ....Re-zipped it with they way u unzipped ...... use CWM .... install the Re-zipped update .... and done ur nook is work
Remember ... the Important files on nook only ROM files ... cuz is unique and if u lost it .....u wont able use wifi and u can just cuz ur nook only with no wifi
Good Luck
@yeahman45
try get another image 1st and then try it and if not workin with u try last thing check (Bad sector on ur internal memory).... Renate is best in Partitioning/mounting nook partition .... she already did that for me once "Big THX to her " , w8 her replay
good luck

Unfortunately, there are no good, standardized scripting disk partitioners.
The only thing we have in busybox and CWR is fdisk.
That is interactive.
You can feed it a response script.
The problem is that if anything gets out of sync it will plow ahead with wrong responses.
Unfortunately, that's what your log is showing.
nookpart.sh assumes that all partitions have been deleted.
You must first delete all the partitions manually. (This does not delete any file data.)
Code:
fdisk -C 934 -H 128 -S 32 /dev/block/mmcblk0
Type p to display the current state of things.
Type d and then the partition number to delete it.
Type w to write your changes and exit.
Then try running nookpart.sh again.
Note: Just to be clear, if you are restoring a full (~1.9GB backup) then the partition tables are in the backup.
There is no need to configure the partitions in that case.

Huh? The Nook is already fully UTF-8.
Do you mean adding the glyphs for some language?
Which files are you trying to replace?
Are you doing this over ADB or in a file manager?
Safest way: Use ADB, use the stop command to shut down the Android subsystem, copy the files, then use the reboot command.

yup i have already succeeded in re-creating the partitions thx! i deleted the partitions(using create partition table in GParted) and run your script and it's ok now! thx!
problem now is :
I cannot mount my /system folder as writable via adb shell... it remains read only.. so i have to use root explorer to move my files into that folder... I am trying to replace the .ttf for unicode support but i often get boot issues when doing so... sometimes my nook does not boot anymore if i had replaced fonts in the /system/fonts ..... any idea? (I didn't have this problem before withe the exact same files i am replacing)
I used glownooter previously(before my bricking story lol) and was able to mount /system and add files to it with no issues...but this time(after having recovered from my bricking story) i rooted with nook manager... do you think it's related to the rooting methods or my partitions are still not ok?

yup i am using mount -o remount,rw /system in shell, even used su but the system remains readonly.. no idea why...
trying to add fonts with chinese support.. since i can't push it via adb, i am using root explorer to replace the ttf files... but sometimes it freezes my nook and it does a bootstuck... cannot reboot... I had it two times, one i pasted a font and my nook freezed and another one when i tried to move an apk to system/app ... first time i solved bootstuck by restoring the system/fonts with original.. second time it did not worked.. i had to do a dd restore image... and root again...
Some infos
using grep:
# mount | grep system
mount | grep system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0
trying to push a font
adb push Y:\nook\fonts\Caecilia.ttf \system\fonts
failed to copy 'Y:\nook\fonts\Caecilia.ttf' to '\system\fonts': Read-only file system
edit: tried booting with noogie and replace my fonts on linux but i got some weird error : Error splicing file: no space left on device... i have deleted the whole fonts folder and pasted an original stock backup, still getting that error : Error splicing file: no space left on device (although i should have plenty of space as i have deleted the /fonts folder) ... and my nook does not boot anymore once again...
edit2: please help i am getting desperate... my nook does not boot anymore again after i have replaced the fonts with it.. is it a problem with my partition? what are the commands i need to run to see if everything's ok with my partition.. should i try another root method .. i bought the nook to offer it as a gift to someone who reads chinese.. that's why i am trying to install chinese fonts on it before giving it. Did i messed up with the partitions permanently when i deleted all the partittions?
Check how much space you have:
Code:
df
/system: 285583K total, 216938K used, 68645K available (block size 1024)
Check the mount (again):
Code:
mount
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0
Check the permissions:
Code:
ls -l /
drwxr-xr-x root root 2012-12-22 10:21 system
ls -l /system
drwxr-xr-x root root 2013-03-19 20:18 fonts
Check writing a file:
Code:
cd /system/fonts
echo Hello > hello.txt
cat hello.txt
Hello
where should i execute these commands? in linux via noogie? whenever i put something in /system via noogie and linux, my nook does not boot anymore ... is that normal?
I have rooted once again using glownooter vs nookmanager this time and i am now able to push to the /system folder! finally lol ... i suppose nookmanager did not root it properly.. will stick with glownooter for now but i miss nook mod manager and its patches (any idea how to apply them with glownooter?)
Problem again! It does not boot again .. but last time i was stuck at "Reading forever", now it gets past this screen and when showing the progress dots, the dots move but the screen flashes each time and this cycle goes on forever.. any idea? is this normal that i get these booting issues when replacing fonts in /system/fonts???
edit: do i get adb with cwm? where's the settings for enabling adb in cwm?
Your Nook should re running in Nook alright before you start trying to change fonts.
You should have ADB running.
As you probably know, it's not normal for the dots to flash and restart.
You need ADB and logcat to see what it doesn't like.
It will tell you what the problem is.
I have never tried noogie with Linus or Nookmanager or Glownooter or Modmanager.
ok thx so adb should run even at boot time? i just need to connect it via usb? adb is not detecting it atm
