Ok well I removed my sd card from my G1, and when I put it back in it gives me a "Blank SD Card" notification. I tried resetting my G1, and it didnt work. So I mounted it on my laptop and now it says "Drive G is not formatted would you like to format now?." I am really not trying to lose all my data and apps, and I kno my stuff didnt get deleted, how can this b fixed?
One of two ways, in my eyes.
First try looking at paragon, it might be able to find the partitions again and hopefully repair them.
Two try a data recovery program, personally I like GetDataBack but it only works for FAT and NTFS and not EXT2 if your data and apps were on that partition.
Hmm I tried GDB and it took about an hour and what do u kno I need the licensed version to get my files off, and will Paragon work? Cuz I dont wanna waste another hour.
SD Card fix ok
just put the sd card inside the adapter that all sd card brings when you get it.ok
AND than insert it on your labtop and copy all your files to your computer and format your sd card..

As I said in the original post when I mounted it is said it needed to format, but anyway I found a program and got my files off, but I need to recover my ext2 partition which I dont think will happen

Never tried it but it might be worth a shot.

Yea I tried it but I need the paid version to recover
Have you tried inserting the sdcard into a computer running ubuntu? It will probably recognize the ext partition without any trouble.
Will I b able 2 use ubuntu to restore it?

I dunno, that's why I asked if you had tried it yet or not. You can always burn a Ubuntu livecd and test it without installing anything. As long as the partition table is intact it should be accessible.

I loaded up Cyanogen's latest last week, formatted my 16gb to EXT2 and Fat32... all was working great for a week, then today, my G1 went blank. Upon a restart, the SD card came up with "Blank SD Card." Viewing the card from my card reader... can't read any files... what's the program that you "found?" I'll probably just fight through reformatting and rebuilding all my files... Later I'll perform file backup when I get it right.
this sound like your problem??
Hey asaspades, something like this happened to me a while back and I could read it on my laptop/cardreader and recover my files and reformat. Obv u have tried this. The thing is the same thing has hsappened not 10 min ago lol. When this happened before I was running my g1 as stock but now I have cyanmod (3.6.8.1 I think) amd apps 2 sd on ext2 partition. I am not at a computer atm but will try to recover the same way as before though I won't be able to access the ext2 partition (will try with ubuntu, hav wubi installer on pc). Oh and I rebooted after I realised something was wrong and now have a constant preparing sd card checking for errors notification. This sound kinda similar to your problem at all? I would like to know what is causing this. Maybe I just have a bad/corrupted sdcard lol. Anyway its really pissin me off not knowing
Left 4 a while and it now says damaged sdcard you may need to reformat.
i think my card is fried or corrupted cuz i popped it in paragon and i had like 7000GB on a 4gb class 6 card?..any ideas on how i can fix??
If I were you, boot into linux on your computer if you have it and format it using fdisk. If you don't have linux, then get it Besides that, if that fails, then your SD card is f*ck*d, and you might be just better off getting a new one.

Might be a silly question but have you tried just formatting it in Android?
Settings > SD Card > Unmount SD then Format SD.
Worth a shot anyway.

Doesn't sound promising. What brand card is it? Did you ever fiddle with the partition table (i.e. to do apps-to-sd)?

damn there no way to bring it back??...i dnt think ill b able to get a new one.
The problem is, the phone or an SD card reader won't read it. IF somehow you can get it to recognize the card, you should be able to reformat. If not, why wouldn't you be able to get a new one? Staples has 2MB for 8 bucks.

If it shows up as a device in windows it's not fried. Paragon should be able to fix it. I highly recommend downloading a Linux livecd or liveusb image that has gparted on it. That'll help you fix this in a jiffy.

It cant mount anything cos your partition table is jacked up. Open gparted and just clear out whatever is in there and create a new partition table.

So I transfers the android folder to it used it n all was good then I wanted to back up all of my winmo files so i remove the SD card from my phone n place it in my card reader..n said to reformat the card..I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY SD CARD.. I can't even format it some how it got protected...even my phone days to formatted but is never successful...ANY ADVISE THANK YOU

ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.
i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?
Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.
thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.
No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.
Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

lemme try that...i formatted it through my computer and unchecked "quick format" and after like 30 minutes it finished with an error.. hopefully this works.
gparted
ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

storage tool for wm
Ok
dr_derqami said:
Download " storage tool" for wm. Install it. Send shortcut to start up so that as soon as wm boots it ll find the sd card. When u get storage tool workin u ll have options choose formate or fix the sd then it ll work. It worked for me.

well formatting it through cmd didn't work...everything was still there on the card. lemme try your method now... thanks.
delete file by file and see which one is locked on the card.
change permissions on the sd card.
try to delete files from the winmo
try to overwrite the android folder and start it with another build and then format after a sucessfull start.

yea.. i used mattcleo 1.6b. i can actually still boot up android...but even in android i can't delete anything using astro. I tried replacing android folder using a card reader but that didnt work either... i'm going to try that storage tools suggestion..but i doubt anything will work. CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.
Ok
Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors
Hey Guys,
I've installed MattC froyo build on my HD2 which is running energy 28-Aug Windows ROM, but when I launch android I get the error Failed to mount SD card and it stops there...
I've searched numerous threads on this for last 2 days, many users face this problem, but I haven't found any solution for it. I think a sticky on this would be helpful to many.
I've made many changes suggested to startup.txt for fixing the issue, but none are working
What should I doooooooooooooooooo
praiparing sd card
i have the same problem . it doesn't work with extented battery.you have to change your battery with the original of htc.
Dude, i'm using the standard battery only..
What i tried so far..
- Used the other startup.txt that is present as attachment in mattc's thread...doesn't help and phone hangs after first 4 commands..
- Modified "set cmdline "rel_path=Android"" with "set cmdline "rel_path=Android loop_partition=mmcblk0"" in the startup.txt
- Moved everything from Android folder to root
None of them works

Backup everything and re-format your sd card with this world standard formatting software read more here and then re-load your android built and try again... good luck!
ok found a solution...turns out you can't use Macbook's Disk Utility to format the card even though it says FAT32 in format options...
Formatted using Windows Laptop and now its loading Damn Apple , we should mention it in one of the android stickies
In windows 7 happens the same, I formated the the sd card with windows 7 and tried several "Android" build without luck
and, Finally I formated the Sd card with the application above AND IT WORKED thank you....
ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG!!! I SPENT 3 DAYS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT DOESN'T MOUNT.
the world standard formatting software REALLY DOES WORK!!!!
1. put your micro sd card into a micro sd reader
2. put it into computer
3. run the program.
4. put micro sd card back onto your phone and
5. LAUNCH ANDROID AS YOU normally would
WOW WOW WOW
I'VE LOST 10 HOURS OF SLEEP OVER THIS... PHOUCH ME!!! FINALLY WOW........
PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Formatting with this util sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/ enabled my microSD card to be mounted in Android FRX04.
Thank you.
Hy every body, does some one heard about SD damaged after a FAT32/EXT4 Format?
Let me explain myself:
I've SD-FROMATTED my sd, then using GPARTED LIVE SD in my HD2 in MAGLDR
i've created two partitions:
1/ FAT32
2/ EXT4
I do have click on "apply".
Now, my SD is unreadable and unrecognized by my phone.
The oly way i have to use it now is FAT32 only.
It is the third time i do the partitioning on this SD and it's the first time it does'nt work
HEEELP!!!
I've heard about file corruption using MAGLDR USB MassStg...Is-it true
Thanks for your anwers
No answer? Nobody?
download panasonic SD Formatter 3.0 and that will sort it no probs.
matt
Try Panasonic SD Formatter as mentioned above. With the stock SD card I've had problems formatting using a card reader, however. I had to flash back to a windows mobile rom, connect to PC as a hard drive (not active sync) and re-format the card via that method. It's a pain, but try this if you're really stuck.
Thanks i'll try those methodes
i use minitool partition manager
but first go to control panes, then computer management, devices, find your sd card and right click on it. select create new disk label and that should solve your problem.
now after that run minitool partition manager and you 'll be able to see your sd car as new disk (or something) just create a new partition as (fat32, primary) format maybe that could solve your problem.
(the same thing happen to mee and i was about to cry because of it)
(sorrry for bad english, i'm still learning)
Thanks kof102. I'm on it

Also, as a long time Android recovery user (I went through several Android phones before coming around to the HD2), I would highly recommend formatting your card using Clockwork Recovery.

One problem can be that when try create a Ext partition using CWR it only creates an Ext2 which isn't really the best.
I've seen on differnt French forums that i'm not alone. Is there a Risk formatting and partitioning an SD Card, that is not done for, to damage allocation Table?
My SD is dead now. Not even my PC, my Phone or else are abble to find my SD. Have you heard about that?
No answer? No body?
try using EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition with this u will be able to see what is going on.. hope it helps.
Thanks, Have you allready heard about that befor?
I had a problem with my SD it didn't come up on my pc too,when I was playing with the dual booting partition making for wp7 and android. some how it messed up and SD didn't come up so I found this program Easeus and some how managed it to work again it was a simple problem that all I had to do is to recreate the partition and only after that u can format it. if it doesn't exist u format nothing actualy lol.
hope u have the same problem.
I've tried EASUS but it was unable to read my SD...
I think it's dead now...
I've bought an other one and part it with CWM. It's EXT2 but it work perfectly!
Maybe it could be nice to check if nobody else had the same than me...and tell it to Master COTULLA!
No body else?
