I'm kind a desperate... My SD-card is unuseable right now...
Didn't know exactly where to post...
Hi all
I'm desperate.
Just wanted to reformat my SD card. Wasn't possible right away since I've partitioned it in 3 (fat-ext2-ext3) with my formerr HTC Desire.
I deleted the fat partition, and now the card isn't recognized and I cannot reallocate the large partition.
I'm using a Samsung SGS (i9000). But clockwork recovery doesn't allow me to format SD-card?
I've tried Paragon Harddisk Manager, and Diskman4. Windows7 devicemanager doesnt allow anychanges either...
Please help
i found a solution. Couldn't get it to work in windows 7. Tried almost everything. The thing that worked was entering recovery on my old htc magic and partitioning the card from there.
Just wanted to let you guys know if you should end up in the same situation...
Regards
Another thread, i think i'm a totally noOb
Today, i downloaded Wildpuzzle Rom .. and flashed it ... everything went fine
I used this tutorial...
http://baert.ulyssis.be/2010/10/13/wildpuzzle-rom-for-htc-wildfire/
this was okay...but in the 4. point ... "Creating an EXT partition on the SDCard"
there was a problem ... after i selected the fat32 and ext2 size, and the phone rebooted .... i had an error message .... "E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip" ...
i've tried a lots of time...always rom manager failed to made the right partitions...
so i moved on, and i tried to made the partitions with manually in windows xp
i've downloaded Paragon Partition Manager 9.0 to do the partitioning....
After i had the 2 partition, 1500MB Fat32 and 300MB ext2, the pc rebooted to make the changes .... and then i had an error message (i can't remember, cause it dissapeared quickly).....
when xp started again i saw my sd card is not working .... windows said, "You must format the SD card" .... and it was only 512 kbyte the full size
i tried a lots of applications, which recovery, or fix sd cards, but nothing helped :/
any solution?!
i wouldn't like to throw away my sdcard if its not necesarry
thx.

Try gparted, linux boot cd, make fat32 partition first then make ext3 partition no need for swap on phone

i have tried gparted, in ubuntu live cd, but when i insert the sd card to the reader nothnig happen ... and gparted stop working :S .. its freeze or something like that
Did you try to delete the partition and creating a new drive? Like when you buy a new disc... You have to create a new partition and a new logical drive...
You can use Paragon partition manager...
I guess gparted was loading, it take a little while to read the entire HDD.

No thx, Paragon partition manager killed my SD card ... so i won't use that app again, never...
But meanwhile, i could fix the SD card with Ubuntus's gParted ... i've tried a lots of time ... reinserted the card to the reader .... and finaly it recognised it ... and can made a valid partition ... so the problem solved
anyway, thx the idea
A very simple and quick solution to this kind of problem (for other users / future reference, now that you've solved it): put it in your photo/video camera and format it. This would do a low-level format of the SD card, allowing you to see and use it in Windows. Any camera with this function will do (Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, etc.)

thx a lot dude ... this is a simple and a good idea
never would thought this
Good one!!! It is a very simple solution. However if it works with "camera formating", then the issue with SD card is not too bad. I mean, it's not corrupted in a way to be unusable or "bricked" in some way.
And thus, I think you needn't even bother using some other gadget, just a sufficient knowledge on partitioning tools and you can make it work on your computer. I still believe it could be repaired with Paragon Partition... 've been using that program ever since and never had any problems...
Anyway, the more options avaliable, the more possibilities for a success! ;-)))
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?
Hello, I need some help with partitioning my Micro SD card. It is an 8GB class 6, and I know the basics, but that is it. What I really need to know is HOW to partition my SD card and what the hell 'EXT2/3/4' is all about. Now, I have had different suggestions as to what to do, I have to disc all ready with Gparted installed, and I am ready to use it, yet I have been told by some members of XDA the partitioning isn't even a requirement for ROMs. Is this true? I have a Euro HD2, and recently when trying to partition my SD card through Clockwork Mod (CLK) my SD card's memory dropped from 8GB to around 6.5GB. I have tried formatting it as I always do, but nothing seems to come of it. Anyway, what I would like to know is how and why I need to partition, especially EXT2/3/4 as this particular partition has come up on most ROMs I wish to install.
I hope someone can shine some light on this issue.
Thanks in advance -- Joe
(PS - I will click thanks for anyone who gives useful information)

First thing
Closckwork Mod is NOT CLK, they are different
if your memorcy card dropped from 8GB to 6.5~ , then your partioning was succesfull , what you cant see is the EXT partion that only android can see,
Go ahead and flash a EXT supported ROM , have fun

Sorry, I didn't realise they were different (CLK - Clockwork Mod) But if you say that the partitioning worked, then does that mean I have done all of the partitions, or just one?
You just need one partition not many ... so I guess you can find out by trying an ext supported ROM... try coredroid 1.6

Hello all, i'm new and noob in the android OS and tablets and stuff, so i'l need a little help from you if you would like...i've got a dell streak 5 and somehow i managed to open it and mount an internal micro sd card 8GB class 10 and i installed a android 2.2 on it with the fast boot and qdl tool. now when i try to install some apps i always receive the following msg: sorry, there's not enough space to install this item. i have a 6.4 gb of free space so...what's the problem here? it is not formatted ? and if is not how should i do this?
please help
try to unmount the external sd and try again
U need to research which card are compatible with the streak... I think it only recognizes 2 or 4gb idr
But anywho, you can't just throw in a big card without even seeing if it'll work first..

That's not true. I have an 8gb card on mine class 4 and works good.

I did it and worked. Obviously the internal card is just for apps... is he intents to use it as media, he has to make the hack on the link
well, thanks for your help, but i recall i'm a noob and i'm going to remain a noob until i can understand you language. do stuff like linux hack os not so simple for me. yes, i can do it with a proper tutorial or so...so, if you already did this, please take me step by step like a tutorial.
i'll really appreciate your help

If you want the internal SD for apps, but open it, change you internal SD, and make a factory reset (NOT from the custom recovery, use the Dell screen).
Or do you mean to open your Dell?

You didn't format it before inserting the new card? The internal sd should be ext3 like this:
Code:
/dev/block/innersd0p5 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
/dev/block/innersd0p6 /data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
I don't know how you could install the rom without having acorrect partition type on your sd card, though. Check to see using 'adb shell mount' on your PC. To format the sd card, you'd need a program like parted.
Hope it didn't misunderstand your problem.
yes, i installed android 2.2 without formatting the micro-sd card. if i'm correct, you'll need ext3 partition for the apps, not for the os. or it's done auto when i did this with the qdltool software.
i'll try something else and i'll post the result here
