Hi Friends!
I've faced a very strange problem... One day my MiniSD card is crashed... All information is lost and device doesn’t see the card inside.
Utility to format the SD card isn't presented in standard programs. Format can be done using Resco explorer. I've installed it in internal memory and tried to format my SD... unsuccessful. I've formatted SD in PC using adaptor.
Now device can recognize the SD card but I still can't format it.
I have installed all software today but afraid that the SD will crash tomorrow…
Is it available, generally, to format SD card in HTC HD? May I need to but a new one?

Shalom, just to boost your question: No, I don't think you can format an SD card in htc (hit the cell ). I had been looking for the same before and didn't find it. But hang on, there might be people who know it better.
There should be a clear / format sd storage option in your WM settings. using windows to format it is just as good
So i read on droidxforums.com that i can that i could use my internal memory for my music by using root explorer to move it to a music directory within /system. and an app called Astro Player I tried just moving one album to the /system. when i opened Astroplayer it automatically read all the rest of my music. so i figured i would take my music off the SD completely. after deleting it it still showed up within Astro. however the Directory what gone from SD. soi wasnt sure if there were still some reminisce or something left.
So i figured i could copy all my important info to my pc and format the SD and format. I inserted the SD directly to my pc via an adapter and tried to format. It failed to complete. so i tried putting it into my phone and tring that way.
I now get a pop op that says i need to format before i can use it. I click to format and it tells me there is no disc.
did i just kill the sd card? is there any way of formatting and getting it back to normal?
any advice is appreciated. thank you so much.....
What are you trying to format it with on the pc? If you are on linux i would recommend giving gparted a try. It has always worked for me. Make sure you format it to FAT...

you likely formatted it to NTFS in windows, reformat it again to FAT, and make sure it's fully seated in the slot of your phone.
Formatting an SD card won't break it.
Problem Fixed!
No i was trying to format it Fat32 via windows. But i was trying to do a "quick format"
Formated without "quick format" selected. Took about an hour. but everything is back to normal.
Thanks for the help you guys.
Lucky SOB. I had the same issue, and it was a bad SD card. I had the same problem, basically; started copying my music to SD card on the phone, phone froze and xfer hung in Windows at about 15% of the card filled, did a battery pull and tried doing a full format (fat32 of course, which is the default for memory cards in any version of Windows, by the way; only way you get NTFS is if you manually select it, or the card was already NTFC) and it hung at about 15% of the way through. I pulled the 8GB micro SDHC card from my HTC Touch Pro, did a full format on my laptop no problems, put it in my Droid X and filled it, no problems. I'm waiting for a call from Costco as to when I can get the memory card swapped.
@ixobelle: formatting an SD card when it's bad can definitely "break" it (to be more precise, 'expose the broken parts')
Hi,
I got a Galaxy Y from a friend and I was trying to MOD it. I discovered that the internal SD is not available... and no way to get it back. I tried to wipe data, hard reset, stock firmware upload with ODIN but no way to get the internal SD back. I tried ADB in order to try to push the ZIP files in a ROM folder but of course no permissions as it's not rooted.
So, no way to root my mobile without copying the files to the SD?
Thanks in advance
Joe
I dont know what you mean by internal sd - galaxy y 5360/6102 doesnt have internal sd - it uses a mico sd card to which you will find the slot if you take the cover off and look on the right hand side of the phone
place any files you want on the sd card either via card reader or usb cable
please note that questions should be asked in the question and answer section and NOT the general section

Thanks Marcus,
I did not know the mobile had no internal SD.
That's the kind of information that saves a lots of time and work!
Thanks again.

Ok,
I tried to use a Miscro SD on the GT-S5360 but there was no way to have it acccepted by the phone.
I formatted the Micro SD (Sandisk 2G) in many ways (full formatting) and it was mounted OK with all my other phones (Galaxy S, LG L5II, Huawei) but not for the Galaxy Y. I tried to format the card with the other Samsung too but it did not work..
I've read a lot around about the "blank SD" issue on many mobiles and tried some of the suggested tricks but with no luck.
So, assuming there is no way to have a MicroSD installed on the phone, I resume the original question:
- Is there any way to root the GT-S5630 without an SD card?
Thanks in advance
Joe
well unless your sd card slot is damaged there should be no reason why it shouldnt work
the sd card needs to be formatted in fat32
there best way to do it is to inset your sd card into your phone
goto phone settings
storage
unmount sd card (sd must be unmounted before you can format it)
format sd card
you can also format it via your pc using a card reader as long as its fat32 but its best to format it using the phone or format it again using the phone as sometimes cwm may have problems mounting the sd card if you use something else to format it
You might find universal root tools via google but the quickest most simple way is just to use a root zip file and flash it in recovery or cwm

Thanks Marcus, your replies are very quick .
I tried formatting the SD card FAT32 with different Allocation unit sizes, always full formatting, never quick.
The SD card is recognized as BLANK SD CARD (or unsupported filesystem) when inserted with the phone ON. The same occurs when I switch ON the phone with the SD card alredy inserted. The card is never mounted
The internal formatting functionality of the phone seems to be not working at all. The function FORMAT SD CARD is enabled but when launched it lasts just few seconds and nothing happens (the card is not mounted neither automatically nor by hand).
There could be some compatibility issues between the card and the phone and it could be worth to buy another SD to test the phone card reader again, but I'm not confident it will work.

allocation unit size is I think 16 kilobytes but just select default - quick format is fine if the card is not damaged
you can try using mini tool to delete the partition on the sd card and create a new one and format it to fat32
you can then try reformatting it on your phone after
Mini Tool Download

Thanks for your help Marcus,
I tried MiniTool, with both FAT and FAT32 (the card is a 2GB card) but the result is still the same: BLANK SD CARD.
I will try to buy a new one tomorrow and see if it makes any difference...
Thanks again
Joe
Ok I got a new MicroSD today and everything seems to work fine.
Thanks again Marcus.

I followed the instructions to enable adoptable storage for the SD card in my S7 Edge and everything was working fine until I did a reboot. Since then I'm finding that the phone is no longer mounting the adoptable storage partition from the SD card. The normal portable storage SD card partition is mounting fine. I'm not sure why it has started and currently I don't have a /sdcard directory which is causing problems (e.g. I can't use the camera or take screenshots at the moment).
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you fix it? Any suggestions what I should try would be much appreciated.
Preferably I don't want to have to format the card if possible.
Thanks,
Mark
If you format yours with two partitions it may cause problems, my suggestion is to format it with one partition adobtable or portable not both, why to format as portable if you already made some space for adobtable storage, then make it all adoptable as you won't be able to switch to another sd-card.

Having it as portable allows me to it out of my phone and easily copy stuff to and from it using my laptop. If it's all adoptable you can't do that without using something like MTP such is way slower.

I see, I don't remove mine that's why i thought you're doing the same, then try to remove and insert maybe it could mount the adoptable partition.
So I have a backup saved on my device and all roms saved internally..That's eating a lot of space.
Sometimes I may want to format the phone when things go wrong and want to be able to install via my SD card (plus save room). When I first rooted, that caused a major headache. I have a 128gb SD card, yet it shows 0mb when selected in TWRP. Do I have to format it a certain way?

Have you mounted the sd card in TWRP? If it is, then unmount and try mounting it again. If that doesn't work then you might have to reformat the card

To what format? I formatted it to the default thinking it was corrupted but it never was able to be read. And no it can't be mounted because it's like it's not even in.. When the phone's on though it's read perfectly

Maybe try flashing a fresh version of TWRP? What version are you using? It should be able to read it if your phone reads it. Is it in exFAT format?
