SD Card problems - G1 General

Im having problems with copying files to the SD card. It was formatted through a card reader and currently I can only transfer files through that specific reader and not my G1. I keep getting an I/O error when attempting to transfer.
The reason I can't get it to format through COMP-USB-G1 method is because my PC keeps restarting as soon as its finished formatting for some reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I received some info regarding my issue, so if any can confirm, please do.
The info I received was about USB 2.0. If my PC does not have the 2.0 ports, I won't be able to transfer files to the G1?

I can confirm that. You will only be able to mount your SD card if your PC has USB 2.0

Thanks for the confirmation.

htc evo usb and sd card issues (unrooted).

I have two issues,
1. My evo doesn't recognize my sd card or any sd card that I insert in it. I've hard reset the phone and even reformatted the sd card on my macbook pro (fat32). I inserted the sd card with no files on it and when I took it out of the phone and mount it on my mac via the card reader I saw some Unix Executable Files that the phone put one the card, this is what the files name look like (qxdm_20101214_011430_1.dm).
2. when I connect the phone to my mac or pc, the computer doesn't recognize it so I can mount it as disk drive. usb debugging it on and there's no option for disk drive under default connection type. I've try new usb cable with no luck. I try doing the usb fix on this forum but with the two issues I'm having I can't do the adb for the sd card and the usb fix. any suggestions and help will be greatly appreciated. I want to root my phone
HTC EVO 4G 2.2
baseband 2.15.00.09.01
kernel 2.6.32.15
build 3.29.651.5
hboot 0.97.0000
anyone? i really need help
Were you able to solve this?
I've been having the same issue, I had root with SHIP-OFF, but somehow lost it, things got corrupted somewhere and I still haven't gotten things working right yet.
I used this fix to re-enable the SD card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Which then allowed me to load the stock rom from bootloader. I'm yet to find a USB fix though. Can't charge without powering off. Can't figure out how to root the phone without USB. Let me know if you found a solution. Thanks

USB memory Stick

Does Elocity A7 support NTFS file system? I have problems accessing my USB stick which is formatted in NTFS...or something else may be an issue !?!. In any event it can not read it...any suggestion?
Regards
Upgraded firmware and now when USB memory stick is plugged in I am getting a message the it is being checked for errors....but data on it so far cannot be accessed...Anybody else has issues with reading memory stick thru USB port?...SD card works like charm...
Regards
When I first got mine I was using my key which is fat32 and ran into the same problem. I had to reset the device before I could use my usb stick again. Haven't tried an NTFS usb device but either way it's not on the a7 to support NTFS, it is Android's task.
It would be interesting to know if other people had problems of accessing USB memory stick...for me memory stick would be much easier mean of exchange software/data between PC and Elocity than microSD.
Regards
I found out that if memory stick is formated as FAT32 then Elocity has no problem reading it...
USB memory stick
I have no problem accessing my USB stick, my problem is transfering the data like music or movies into folders which Elocity a7 doesn't allow me to do.
I have tried coping and or moving files i.e., songs, movies, am I doing something wrong or is there a right way to do it?
You can copy files from USB to SD card...only file by file not directories
The other way is to pull out your SD card and copy files on it using adapter on your PC
The third way is to use application which lets you access your Elocity using your browser on your network which will then allow you to copy files to/from device
Regards
My a7 originally could mount and read the sd card and the usb drive. Then one day it suddenly would not mount the sd card and it always said it was checking for errors. I tried a wipe and restore, formatting the card, and a different card. None of it worked. Finally I loaded Dexter's 1.41 mod. The mod worked great but the sd card still couldn't be mounted. And then the usb drive gave me errors and one time would work and another time it says preparing storage checking for errors. Right now neither the sd card or the usb are being mounted. After 4 emails to elocity support I am pretty frustrated with this unit and thinking of just ordering an ipad.

Do you apply the vold patch with 1.41? Also you have to have a folder/directory sdcard/sdcard-disk (sdcard-disk) is the one needed. This still won't allow card to be read from boot other then applying zips with sysrecovery. It has been mentioned before in another thread if your not running elocitys FW you can't really complain about it to them.
If that folder/directory isn't created it won't read with the patch. USB also has something about it. Read up on this thread.

Hello, I'm new here and I did experience some sort of USB or MicroSD issue where the eLocity unit did read the USB at first and then the next time I put the USB flash drive it cannot read it, no matter what I do. Then I hit the reboot key at the back using a pin or something sharp and I tested both drives and it did read them.
I learn that before removing the USB FD you need to dismount by tapping the connection icon to safely remove the USB. You will then receive a message to confirm the removal of USB drive.
I hope this help.
Peace....

[Q] transfering files through usb - problems - SD roms

Hope someone can help me.
I'm having strange issues with transfering files through USB, using Android (sd version). Tried 3 gingerbread roms and when I try to copy the files to the sd card, after setting up the usb connection on the phone, they don't show up in the file explorer when I unmount the card.
But if I enter windows mobile, they are there. If I copy the files in windows mobile, they are recognised by the android rom.
I've formatted the card in Panasonic Formatter, but still the same (with 16kb and 32kb clusters).
Anyone?
No need to open another thread, the same question can be found on the first page as well

Damn, been searching the forums yesterday about this, and then someone posted. Sorry.
Thanks!

[Q] USB transfer to SD Card buggy?

I've just got a 32GB Sandisk Class4 MicroSD and my transfer speeds are horrible when mounted over USB.
Also after some time, the transfers may fail, and the mount is no longer reachable. I.e. you can no longer browse it through My Computer.
When this happens, the phones interface grinds to a halt, and I need to restart it. Key strokes will take seconds to come up, etc.
I've tried reformatting the SD card, reinstalling Kies to get the latest USB driver, but the speeds still the same.
I found if I manually did "safely remove hardware" for the Android internal SD mount, the speed is a bit faster.
Any ideas?
Try adding the phone as a USB mass storage with USB Debug On, also use only the supplied Samsung cable and finally did you format the card in the phone before you started using it?

I couldn't find that, but ran H2TestW, which managed to write all the files fine but had read errors.
Not sure if that is because I have it going through the phone, maybe I should try an SD card adapter to the PC?

[q] urgent help needed!!

Ok, I have CWM and I can access it. I cannot read from my External SD Card to install a rom. I can access my Internal SD but I do not have a rom in there.
I cannot boot into the previous ROM since I erased everything and when restarting I get boot loops. I need the tablet to get back to work tomorrow.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
I have a ROM downloaded in my PC but when I connect the A500 to the PC (via USB) I cannot mount it to copy it there and flash.
HELP please!!!
What version of CWM do you have. I think the new one can install ROM from USB drive. Also try reformatting the SD card in a PC in FAT32, some time its just that and some time tablet is picky what SD card it can read and what it cant.

I was able to put the SD Card from my phone and flashed the new rom. The tablet is sill not recognizing the SD Card though. I put it on my PC and it wont detect it (cant format it that way). I put it on my printer and I am able to read from it but I cannot format it. It tells me that is right protected.
I need to find another way of formatting it.
Thanks for your help.
I suggest you get a new sd card. Clearly the one you're trying to use is not working.
I'm not even sure if you can "write protect" an SD. Maybe something on the micro SD adapter perhaps (switch)? Or an option in Windows Explorer (check the sd's "properties". If it says "write protected", then turn it off.
