I was using my phone as usual pandora, browsing, etc. I was connected to computer via usb and usb storage was on. I disconnected without turning off usb storage and immediately realized my mistake. android tripped out kept restarting and would barely make it past cyanogen splash before restarting again untill I pulled the battery. now that card will not boot haret loads but gets stuck on black screen with linux penguin. not just the build I disconnected usb from any build on sd is a no go.
so I backed up all my files on the sd card reformatted the card and restored files. still no go. now the same hyperdroid 1.6 folder I had on 16g card (first) is booting fine on another 8g sd card?
how can I restore my 16g? it functions fine in any other way. even backtrack 4 installation is booting when using as usb hdd(my phone is the micro usb adapter)
before Im grilled I did search however I may not have used correct keywords.

You may try deleting your data image and giving it a fresh one with a complete load. If you use titanium backup from market you can restore all your apps.
There may be something in the data.img that wont allow you to boot.
I could be way off but its worth a try. Best of luck.

I had something similar happen when I ran out of power while rebooting. Formatting in windows didn't fix it. Formatting using the SD formatter couldn't complete. Eventually, I did a wipe disk using another program. Then used SD formatter and it worked. Hope that helps.
I tried your method however I cannot for the life of me figure out titanium backup. I created an update.zip using program however I cannot get build into recovery mode also I cannot find even a hint of how to restore the backup I made in the program or using google.

I'd all your apps are backed up then get it booted into android start titanium backup and look for the batch option in the menu. Then choose the option to restore user apps and go from there.

Im having a problem where my nandroid has stopped working. When i run it in recovery, it scrolls through all the dots and tells me my backup is complete. However, it only goes maybe 2 or 3 rows before saying it is successful.
When I look in the SD card nandroid folder, the nandroid backup is missing files. My most recent backup only has:
boot.img
misc.img
recovery.img
system.img
I just got a new 16GB SD card that I put in, and thats when I noticed it not working anymore.
Anyone had any issues like this before? Or have any suggestions. I'm running Recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2 and currently using DarchLegend v5.0.5. I appreciate any help.
FYI, this is what I get when I run the nandroid mobile shell

Re: Nandroid stopped working?
i've done that, sorry should have mentioned what i've tried, my thought is that it has something to do with the new SD card. I definitely have enough space, and I definitely have enough battery power (have tried it both plugged in and not plugged in fully charged, etc)
when i first got it i first for matted it fat32 on the computer, then wiped and partitioned it via Recovery, this fixed some damaged card errors i was having, but now I can't nandroid backup, perhaps i missed a step somewhere

hate to keep bumping but threads seem go so fast.
I have reformated card a couple time, to no avail, as well as switch between multiple ROMs (DarchLegend, RegawMOD, DarchDroid), and I get the same issue.
I'm sure it is something simple when I switched SD cards, but until I can figure it out, I am kind of dead in the water
Have you tried formatting the card from in recovery. If you don;t use A2SD then you can set Swap and Fat to 0. Then try to nandroid.
Tried it, no dice...
Ok, for what its worth, I SEEM to have figured it out, for anyone else that may stumble upon this issue.
I believe it was an issue between the formatting the SD Card FAT32 on my Windows 7 machine (and for that matter, it didnt work on the Hero itself). I used the build in windows format capability, as well as various partitioning programs, and my thought is none of those actually formatted it correctly. I had access to a Windows XP machine today, and formatted FAT32 on the SD card, and I appear to be able to nandroid again.

Yeah I got a 8g card that seems to be worthless now. And for some stupid reason that was one of the things I tried, formatting on my windows vista. That seem to do it in for good. It won't function on the hero well,and it practically shuts my computer down, now.
So all of the sudden I get a notification that my memory card had a problem and that it's "read only".
It was totally fine then this. Is my card corrupted or is it a hardware thing?
I can get it to recognize it....then it goes right back to read only.
I've used the same card from my G2...to Nexus One...to Vibrant to my now MT4G.

I will tell you the truth. You will lose everything. After this you will learn to backup your sd card on your computer.
I wiped out mine too. Somehow, my card became corrupted and would not mount. I lost everything. Still pisses me off.
Good news is there is a stock 'ROM' here and you can just start over. I know it sucks, but think of it as a learning experience. What else can you do?

You can put in into another android phone and it will work just fine (most likely). Has happened to me multiple times in G2 (part of a reason it went back to t-mo).
Alternatively, you can try USB mount option in ClockworkMod recovery and see if phone will recognize your card in recovery, you can then copy everything over to PC and re-format the card.
Wait! Before you reformat, plug it into a Windows machine and run checkdisk on it. I just had this problem yesterday and this fixed it for me. I didnt lose my data or anything because it wasnt reformatted. Just check both the boxes on the dialog box when you run checkdisk and hopefully itll work for you too.

How to run Chkdsk from My Computer or from Windows Explorer
Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk that you want to check.
Click Properties, and then click Tools.
Under Error-checking, click Check Now. A dialog box that shows the Check disk options is displayed,
Select the Automatically fix file system errors check box.
Select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box, and then click Start.
I too have been experiencing this problem, and have tried almost everything to fix this crap! but no luck, I'm not sure what's causing this, but I've tried several SD cards already and even replaced my phone thinking it was the device card reader, but I still have the same problem... Hope someone can shed some light on this matter...
But to the OP before you go formatting it, you can try to save the files on your SD first by going to recovery > connect device > mounts and storage > mount USB storage. You should see your files from the SD card so you can back those up at least.
Good luck!
Had that happen to me when I popped in a new card. Put the old one back in, same thing happened.
Turned out that the restore didn't work correctly. Was able to restore the stock backup I made after rooting and haven't had issues since. I played around trying to get different kernels working, and had to restore a few times. The one time just didn't take fully.

Over the past day or so I have been playing around with some of the gingerbread sense roms out. After flashing the last one, my sdcard comes up with the message that its mounted read only due to an unexpected problem. I have tried fixing permissions, even went and removed the gingerbread rom and restored a back up of royal glacier, which had no problem with my sdcard before. Any ideas as to what is going on? I'd hate to have to format my sdcard as there's a LOT of misceleanous backups on it from my phone. Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. If it makes any kind of difference I am using the 8gb sdcard that came with the phone.

Have you tried mounting it via settings? Cm7 is having the same issues pretty much, if I go to settings storage and mount sd it fixes it till the next error. Lol it sux azz and I don't think anyone here can build a rom without using cm source. :/

I tried that to no avail. Even tried remounting through adb... As far as mounting through settings goes, it shows the card is mounted read only, and will not unmount or anything, if I press the unmount it leaves that screen and comes up preparing sd card, then the same error message... I don't know, guess I'll just have to pull my sd card contents and format. Will that effect my cwm or anything else I am using which made folders on my sd card?

Okay. So I took the sdcard from my phone, and attempted to pull the files and folders from it. WHAT A SHOCKER! they're all set to read only. I had to take each file and folder seperately, go to properties, and uncheck read only from the attributes. But there's STILL a problem, Once I move them to my windows 7 64 bit pc, the are set to read only again. I take ownership of the folder and it's contents, and as soon as I click apply and close the properties, they're set back to read only. I have already formatted the sd card, and want to put these files back, but if they're read only wouldn't it mess up my phone's sd card again? What am I missing to get my sd card back to working condition? Anyone who can help with this issue would be a LIFE SAVER. I have a TON of info on this phone I don't want to lose. I Pray to the android GODS that my phone's sd card did not ruin all my info.
Try them, mine show read only as well on my 32 bit vista system. And they never change either.

Will do as soon as I return home and will report back with what happens, as for now I found out that what messed my sd card up in the first place was installing ginger sense with NO ext partition. Found a forum here witj a walkthrough to creating said partitions and have done so. As for my back ups and all other files, I will let you know what happens... Thanks for the help!

Okay so I got a new 32gb sd card in, and I'm trying to get converted over to it but I am having some problems.
I mounted my original 16gb card to my PC and copied EVERYTHING over to a folder on the PC. I then attached my 32gb card, formatted it fat32 and copied everything from the folder I made that had the contents of my 16gb card in it.
I booted it and am getting all kinds of FC's - from Swype, to Gmail, etc. I can't even use Gmail actually. So I put my original 16gb card back in place, with nothing done to the files on the card, and I am getting the same FC's on it.
Running ICS SFR 1.2 and Genocide 2.0 if that info is needed. Can anyone give me ideas on how to get this sorted? Thanks!

I got my original card working mostly okay by going into CWM and restoring system settings. I had done a full backup on 9/27.
The only error I occasionally get is for google framework or some such. At least the phone is usable for now. I will try again tomorrow to convert to the new card.

Thanks - I think I figured it out on my own with the CWM restore.
With the original card in the phone, I booted into CWM, into backup and restore, then advanced backup, then I choose my most recent full CWM backup file, then "restore system"
That got rid of all the Gmail and Swype errors that were the most persistent and obnoxious. I was still getting the google process error once after every reboot. I re-formatted my 32gb sd card and loaded the files I copied onto my PC onto it. It then booted up and only gives the google process error once like the stock card was doing.
I went back into CWM and chose "restore system" again and after it rebooted I get that google process error rarely. Seems like the first time I go into certain apps, but not all of them. Seems like I'm good to go now with a 32gb card in.
Thanks for the replies guys
Edit: Just did the sd card upgrade for my wife's phone. Zero errors at all lol. Works flawlessly for her and we have the same exact ROM, rooted, and Kernel. Oh well, at least that upgrade was easy!
It's has really been the pain in the arse. Really.
I use Lord's Ice Cold Sandwich. This happens occasionally, when I tried to download SD data for a game, the SD card remounts as being read-only.
I tried full-wipe flash, format SD card with Disk Utility of Ubuntu, then reflash it with Android's utility. I tried unmounting sdcard in CWM. I tried fix permission option in CWM. Nothing helps so far.
Thanks in advance!!! :angel:

I actually tried that. The other day I backed up stuff than formatted the thing with Disk Utility tool of Ubuntu. I then went extreme, formatted it again on Android.
I guess the app above might help. The thing is I'm still under 18 for a credit card, hence gotta wait another year to be eligible.... mannnnn
Apparently, the SD card is still in R/W mode, it isn't til I start download data for games, download music, use dolphin... that it becomes read only. The process usually goes for half the bar, than stop.

Are you able to flash your SD card? If you are having the same files after the formatting which you had then I don't think anything will work rather than replacing your SD card
