Can't mount USB - Hero CDMA General

It's the second time this has happened. I'm not sure what I did the first time to fix it.
Basically, when I try to mount my SD card via USB it tries to - but then fails and goes back to "preparing SD card" on the phone. It never shows up on the PC.
I'm running Gumbo 1.5C with kernel.
I tried going back to my RUU image/formated SD and start over but the problem still persists. The card is partitioned for Apps2SD. If I need to format the card can someone provide instruction to either move whatever is installed on the SD card back to the phone or how to back up the SD card so I wont have to clean everything up again.
Would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

I am always the person who asks the stupid "is it plugged in?" questions...
Did you try using the SD card in a different device?
Does the phone let you store on it?
Can you install new Apps?
Did you try a different SD card?

No, I don't really have another device to try it in... but it does work. The card does mount through the Recovery USB toggle. It just doesn't mount through the OS.

I can try another one when I get home but the problem is I wont have any of the apps that were installed on the SD card.
What I did just try is "unmount" the SD card on the phone so it looks like I'm about to remove it - then restart. It's still not working. I kind of want to say that the problem arose when I pulled my phone off the USB cable while the card was already mounted - to answer an important phone call. I'm just not sure how to replicate or undo the problem.

This will kill it every time.
The best thing to do is go into recovery make a back up of the EXT partition - theres an option for it some where. Mount the card in recovery copy the backup to the desktop. Power the phone off swap the SD card. Partition it with the EXT partion. Mount the new card as USB in recovery copy the back up to it (make sure you keep the original folder path exactly the same). Restore the EXT back up. *catches breath*
Maybe this will work for you. I had a very simliar issue destroy my 16gb. It was sadening those things aren't cheap.

I may give this a shot later, I just want to wait to see if anyone else has a solution. The reason being; this has happened to me before. About 2 months ago. I think I fixed it by changing to a different ROM... which is not what I want to do now. I like the speed I had now. There must be some haywire code that gets corrupted if I dismount improperly considering the SD card is still fully functional.

And... Bump.

SD Card Problem

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

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.

Error reading /sdcard/ *Guru assistance needed!*

I used the root method at unlockr.com, and i have #root# access in the terminal emu app. When i get to the part at unlockr about flashing recovery, (thru terminal emulator) i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso
I have RUU'd the phone at least 5 times... I have also tried using the cmd using the guide here, and get an error at basically the same spot.
my hero is 1.56.651.2. i have spent over 15 hours across 2 days searching forums and trying different methods, but i guess i must be doing something wrong.
btw.. the very first time i tried using the method from unlockr (root through cmd, flash recovery through terminal emu) it *almost* worked. It tried and got a ton of messages and an error regarding too little memory. after i looked it up and realized i could have just freed up memory in the PHONE(not sdcard) it was too late, i had already RUU'd again. It hasnt come close to flashing since, only the error reading message.
i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso

let me know if you get stuck, i'll keep an eye on this thread also let me know at exactly which step "looks weird"
oops that was just a typo. I have been using .img for the file ext like you are supposed to. I have formatted the sd before trying, and the same error. The guide you pointed me to also did not work, I always get a flash error at (step 18). I have RUU'd at least 5 times to start over, and it didnt help any.
and about giving it an extra minute after the flash command, it instantly tells me
"error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img"
so i cant really do that.
What should i do
I have ran into that same issue. I would guess you have upgraded the stock sd card. If you have, it is formated to fat32 not fat like the original. Try formating the card fat then try again. Good luck to you.
Dave
EDIT: I see you have formated the card. I believe the card has to be fat not fat 32 (someone correct me if im wrong). When I was rooting my phone I had same error til I formated it fat. May the force be with you.
What do you mean by upgraded the sd card? I didnt ever do that...at least not on purpose. So how would i check the format?
Put the card into a card reader in a pc, right click on drive and hit properties.
crap, i dont have a reader for this type of card. no way to do it through the phone?
and this problem couldnt be from anything else, could it?

you can mount the card from the notifications bar when you plug your phone in usb. then just right click on the removable disk in my computer (mine's drive H: ) then click "properties"
it will bring up this window
if it says FAT32 then there's the (assumed) problem.
Okay!
it IS fat32.

do you know how to format?
before you format be sure to save anything you have on your sd card that you want/need as it will erase everything.
1. move anything you like to save to your computer from your sd card
2. right click on the removable disk in my computer
3. click on "format"
4. in the little window that pops up chose "FAT" leave everything else alone
5. click start.
6. thats it!
damn its not working.
As soon as i click format it unmounts...any idea?
BTW thanks for the help

i've never tried it that way, but you will probably have to go the card reader option, or use...
GParted
windows disk management
but those tools give you the power to seriously mess up your computer. so i recommend running these on someone's computer you don't like.
or the card reader option
You can format the card under "SDCard and Phone storage"
Just unmount then format.
Okay well modchipper said he had the same problem, and the sd has to be formatted to FAT,not Fat32.
Gparted and the other tool, how can they mess up my computer?
The format option in the phone formats to FAT32...
If you're not careful you can accidentally nuke your hard drive, instead of your sdcard.
Well i tried windows disk management and it didnt see the drive. Gives me a feeling that gparted wont work either. does anyone know for fact that sdcard format has to be FAT?
Well once again I'm at my mom's, and her USB ports are screwed up, so I couldn't tel you what mine is formatted as.
Well i have multiple SDCards, but the one that is currently in my phone is formatted in FAT32 & I believe that was the one I used to root & flash the recovery originally...
Well this just seems impossible it seems ive hit a wall...
Im trying to use Fresh pre kitchen, but that wont work either because i have windows 7.
The Fresh Pre-kitchen works fine on Win7.

Mounting the Hero (FIXED)

I'm on Windows XP, and all the sudden the only way I can use as mass storage is in recovery with the usb/ms toggle. With the device on and connected I get the USB Debugging Icon and the device charges. I did everything on this thread (that i could was for windows 7) any thoughts? Thanks.
EDIT- my hero just didnt want to be mounted yesterday. today all is well.
Does it even give the option to mount? Have you seen any of those "Your sd card is damaged" errors?

I would reformat the card and also check your USB cable. Lastly, make sure it's not your computers USB port that's causing the problems. Also, plug the USB cable into the motherboard itself on the back of your computer and if you can, test another device to check the ports as well
You should rule out all hardware problems, before actually having to format the card, but that's just me.

Repartition back to all fat32 (select 0's for swap/ext), then the rest for fat32.
See if it mounts. If not, probably a bad SD card.
If it does, repartition again, then upgrade ext2 to ext3.
If it mounts you're gold. If not, you might just have a fried SD card.

How did you go about formatting your card? Did you use a mini sd card adapter and mount your sd card into your computer and format?
Or... did you format your card via recovery, making sure to set swap-size and ext2/3/4 to 0, while leaving your FAT32 set to remainder?
If you did one of the ways above, then try doing the other way and see if that fixes the issue.

Ya know, you might try reinstalling the sdk, and updating HTC sync. Your drivers might have gotten corrupted somehow. I had issues with mine intermittently till I did both of the above.

Potentially Bricked Incredible... SOS

So I attempted the OTA 2.2 update and I'm honestly not sure what exactly went wrong. I waited for Verizon to push the update, but apparently the update was corrupted because the OS was acting very sporadic and my Baseband wasn't upgraded because it was (and still is) on 1.x.
I attempted to upgrade the baseband and thing got really strange... I could try to explain everything I've done to try to fix the phone but I really can't come to a solid conclusion. I've worked extensively in the iPhone jailbreaking scene but the Android stuff is a bit different so I'm still learning how the phone is logically designed, etc the hard way.
Here's where I am now:
I cannot boot into recovery via any means... I'm pretty sure that the partition is deleted because it just jumps straight back to HBOOT. When I was still able to get into recovery, the sdcard couldn't mount as well as a few other things in /dev/block. I can't get HBOOT to recognize ANY PB31IMG.zip's nor would clockwork install them from recovery before I lost recover... when I try to flash recovery with fastboot, it says not allowed. I didn't think it would be an issue because I have S-OFF.
I feel like if I can re-flash the newest clockwork or cyanogen from HBOOT, I can then mount my sdcard and restore to 2.1 and then try to OTA again (after a nandroid backup), but I can't really get around HBOOT's permission hissy-fit.
I can't just take my phone back to the verizon store either because I'm in college and have no car and there isn't one nearby.
Any help is appreciated!

One simple thing to check: is your SD card formatted FAT32? If it's the stock 2GB one, then probably not. You need FAT32 to flash PB31IMG.zip...
Yup, if you can get to hboot you're fine, just make sure its formatted correctly as previous poster said.
Hmm ok well, I read that little bit elsewhere and you are completely right, the card was fat16 so I formatted it as fat32 and it still doesn't offer to update the zip... The only thing I can think of is perhaps there was a problem with me having to use my phone as the card reader? I don't really have any other options there and now I can't mount it in recovery to try again.
I have a blackberry 9650 that could act as the reader I suppose... If I can get it to boot without the battery. I somehow had it pulled and left it all the way back home.
Any tips are still appreciated. Thanks guys!
I am not 100% sure this will work but since it sounds like your phone is not bricked but you have issues getting the right files on your SD card...
Card readers for your computer are dirt cheap, no?
Head to Best Buy, pick one up, and then download and transfer the files you need on it over from the computer. Then put the SD card back in your phone, and start over.
I hope someone will chime in if this sounds like a bad idea for some reason...

The problem is that I can't easily get to a place that sells MicroSD card readers. If I were so able, I would just go to the Verizon Store and get my unit replaced, as the technicians advised me to do on Twitter.
I need a way to format the SD card from fastboot or something else... perhaps my Blackberry 9650 will do it if it's only getting a charge from the sync cable. I shouldn't have left its battery at home. My mistake
Has anyone else had an issue with formatting it from a phone directly?

I completely agree.. however I'm unable to get it formatted. One of my suite mates has a Moto Droid so hopefully it can format it and all will be well.
Here's another question though.. Why can't I flash a recovery image via fastboot? I keep getting "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)" and I'm using official images with S-OFF set so I don't really see what the problem is. I've searched around quite a lot and can't find much on it. I at least want to be able to boot recovery, or maybe flash the system partition back from hboot via fastboot.
Just curious. Thanks guys!
I had some problems with my SD Card as well (it would not recognize PB31IMG.zip) during hboot, but clockworkmod could read it. I believe there was a problem with the SD Card, kind of wierd to explain, but I replaced it with another SD Card and that problem has gone away. Could be your card is "partially" defective.
this scenario kind of happened to my friends's new incredible. unfortunately he is not rooted nor s-off. After he applied the OTA and rebooted the phone it just FC's after the boot screen animation. I'm hoping that the factory reset/data wipe will fix this thru the stock recovery or hopefully will let me put the signed .zip RUU on the sdcard and flash thru the stock recovery.
Ill let you know how things go, but it seems im in a darker situation than you are as I have no clockwork recovery to play with and get this working.

One of my SD cards is fully defective, but the one from my Blackberry is fine... I just have no means to format it.
And to the poster above me, I don't have recovery anymore since my recovery partition is apparently wiped (my bad ), however I do have S-OFF. It's just all frustrating. Why can't I flash it straight over USB like the iPhone? I miss my beloved DFU Restores with iTunes
You do need to format the SD card to fat 32 and I would do a factory re-set also.

You realize that you don't need a micro SD reader if you have the full size sd to micro adapter card that comes with almost all micro sd cards...
Also make sure you didn't rename your file PB31IMG.zip.zip. One zip is enough and if it's a zip file, Windows will put the proper extension on automatically.
If you can get into hboot, you're not hosed yet.

I have read that around... I work on a Mac and I have it setup so that file extensions are always displayed but I was last trying most of these fixes from a Win7 pc that isn't setup that way... the file extensions are hidden but that said, unless I saw "PB31IMG.zip" in explorer, I wouldn't have any issues because there is only one hidden file extension. However, now that most of the people here at my college have gone home for the weekend, I can't verify that =/
I understand that I'm not really hosed... I knew I wasn't bricked, but I'm close and it should get some people to look at this thread just a little bit more. It's a dirty little trick but it works. Hence "potentially"
And yes, I'm aware of the SD adapter thing, if I had one I could just format it through my digital camera... too bad all of my MicroSD cards came with my phones so there is no adapter.
You must be at the only college without a Walmart within walking distance. I hope you get it working, as a new SD card formatted FAT32 should fix you right up - I wouldn't trust your current card given what you've described already.

I'm sure if you ask around someone would have a reader or adapter. Perhaps you will have to use it under their supervision so they make sure it doesn't grow it's own feet, but I'm sure if you asked around.

Aurora ICS sdcard problem.

First I want to thank dzo for his amazing work. Thanks to him, we now have an almost fully functional ICS port!
Now, to get to the point... I upgraded from dzo's v.1.1 to v1.2 ICS yesterday. The ROM is very nice and smooth, and it seems like everything is functioning like it should. BUT, after my first reboot after flashing v1.2, I got the message about corrupt sdcard. So I rebooted into recovery, then rebooted to recovery through recovery again P), and then rebooted normal. The message was still there, so I unplugged the sdcard from my phone and plugged it into my computer through a cardreader. The PC said I had to format it before use, so that's what I tried.. the format-window hung up, and stood still on 0% for about an hour. I got kinda bored of waiting and unplugged the sdcard, then put it back into my phone. Now my phone says something like: "blank sdcard or has an unsupported filesystem etc.). I've tried several sdcard formatting programs, but nothing seems to work :S Now my PC doesn't even recognize my sdcard as an sdcard anymore, but as an empty disk or something.
The worst part is that I actually bought my sdcard yesterday, the same day as got corrupted/blank..
any tips would be appreciated!
edit: My sdcard is a SanDisk Class 4 16GB
Hi,
I have the same sdcard and in most cases my U8800 Pro does not mount correctly this microsd. I don't know if this is a kernel problem or a rom problem.
Anyway I advice you to format your sdcard with a specific format-tool, please download it here:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/sdfmt3_1.zip
This is a free software developed by Panasonic (if I'm not wrong).
This tool helped me with my sdcard BUT I have to say that Huawei U8800 is a little buggy for the sdcard mount.

Thanks for your reply! Actually I have allready tried ths program. I installed, and opened it. Then I connected the sdcard to the PC, but the program said it couldn't recognize it... So just to be sure it wasn't the program, I tried to connect another sdcard, and that one was recognized. Weird stuff...
Maybe the card is just broken?
This happened to me too. There is nothing you can do, the sd card is broken. Reformatting is impossible, since no reader will recognize the card. You'll just have to buy a new card or get it replaced via warranty.
I have the exact same problem olfyboy, I think the card is ruined
That sucks! :/
well.. time to use my good old 2gb then..
hello guys
plug you sd card in your mobile go in recovery and check did it show your sd card there if not go in advance option reboot in recovery again...
i hope this time you see your sd card
if it this method not work then put ur sd card in some Symbian phone (Nokia, sony ericsson) in symbian phone you are able to format
i hope this method work for you best of luck
maybe a software named Usboot can help you.
Pls try aurora 1.4. Dzo solved sdcard problem
Thanks for your replies guys!
Sadly I think my sdcard is completely broken. No device is able to recognize it, and those who can, says that it's completely blank or does not have a supported file-system.

From those devices that recognize it, can you format it? Put some files on it?

No..
Those who can recognize it, and says that it needs to be formatted, doesn't do anything when I click format.
And, no, I can't put any files on it.

I'm still in the same position too, I've tried all the suggestions here.
I can read files but can't write or format.
Read speed is VERY slow (a few bytes per second)
I can't even read my files. I tried my sdcard with 2 different pcs. And none of them recognize it. I think its ruined.
Any news? Is there anyone with solution? :/

No.. our sdcards are probably completely broken. Nothing to do with it :/ The only thing you can do about it, is really just to buy a new one.
I, myself, have ended up using an old 2gb sdcard..
I don't get why is happens or why it only happens to us. Any ideas what caused it? I don't care sd-card but I really want my images back in that card. =)
Maybe I can help you

what is the OS on your PC?
maybe I can help you. first of all you have to install a recovery software on your PC ( I prefer "Recover My Files") and extract your photos from SD to your PC.
then if you ask me I will tell you how to format your SD and use it again.
Idk is it a same situation but 2 weeks ago my sd went broke. Ics was showing its empty which i was sure it wasnt. First i tried it with my old phone but no luck. I can connect it to my comp (both win and ubuntu) via sd card reader and no luck. Then i tried fix permissions in cwm and then it recognized, all my old files were there.
I know it doesnt make any sense but if you guys didnt try this just give it a luck.
G luck.

I think you misunderstood the situation. My phone or my pc doesn't recognize the sdcard. Thy not see ant disk when I attach it. I know what your meaning but the problem bigger than this.
