Installing Android on the Micro SD card is a pulse side with no doubts. However, it has been annoying after first operation to find many file spited and scattered inside the micro SD cards. If the Android file is relocated or inserted on a file, it will not work anymore.
My question, is there is a trick or way to make operation folder in Micro SD card more organized

Hello,
A micro SD card came with the phone. By browsing the card from my computer it looks like it contains the Route66 maps that came with the phone. However, the card doesn't show up on the phone. What gives? Other cards do show up.
Copy the files from the cards to your computer.
Format the card with your computer using Fat32 format.
Recopy the files back onto the formattted card.
I have a buddy at work and his SD card seemed to go on the fritz with him and he couldn't recover his files. We tried copying via his phone, we tried via 2 SD card readers and even tried to plug it in my Vibrant and pull the files.
We fixed it by copying his files from his SD card to my internal 16gig memory and then we were allowed to copy to his PC. After the copying of file he formatted his SD card and then all of the sudden his phone was way more responsive and of course he could get to his files. It was almost like his phone was hanging up trying to read data off the SD card constantly and it was lagging the phone big time.
Anyways what I was trying to say we have portable SD card recovery devices in our myst. Why we were able to copy files from the SD card to internal and not SD card to PC is beyond me, but I was persistent.
So about a week ago I downloaded new version of icecream tosti's ICS rom (v0.6) and booted into CWM to mount my sd card and move the zip file over. I noticed that it was taking longer time to move the file than it usually does but I let the process finish. I unmounted the card and went to install the zip from sd card but couldn't find it. I tried to move the file again and again but couldn't get it to copy the file onto the sd card. I tried moving files from the sd card onto the computer but that was not possible either. It wouldn't show me errors and complete the moving process but it actually didn't move anything. I thought there was something wrong with the sd card so I tried formatting it... no success!
I have used easues partition manager, mini tool partition manager, hp sd card utility, panasoic sd card formatter, tried formatting it through windows native options, used disk management, even tried formatting it through CWM but i kept on getting the same error, can't format. I was placing the micro sd card in a usb card reader and sd card reader in order to format it through computer. I have also tried using different computers but that didn't solve the issue. The problem is that every time I try to install a rom it reverts back to an older revision of the rom with old settings that I set before. It seems to me some how the sd card is locked in a previous state and it is write protected and won't let me format it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve my problem or does this mean the sd card is gone and I have to buy a new one?
I have exactly the same problem after using NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.3. It seems this sd card was frozen, nothing on it can be changed. If I copy a file to it on computer, it shows copy successful, but that file cannot be read, and if refresh it shows nothing have changed in the SD card.
Anyone have any idea about this?
I have three broken micro sd cards now, two from WP7 and this one from ICS.

I waited a couple of weeks for someone to answer on this forum and tried all methods possible to format the sd card or revive it somehow but no luck so just recently purchased a new sandisk class 4 sd card hopefully this one doesn't go bad either. I just wish I knew why it was happening so I don't repeat the process again and end up damaging the card.
Have you tried to format with MAGLDR and after it on windows 7 pc ?
I did that, also followed this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283232
Contents on this sd card just refuse to change.
is there a solution to this coz im having the same problem and cant find a way to fix this
you can do it by this software's :
HDD Low Level Format Tool
MiniTool Partition Wizard
EASEUS Partition Master
Partition Wizard Home Edition
.
.
.
.
but i dont know how create swap and ext4 partitions on sd .
This happen because you formatted the card on the phone. I never recommend to format on the phone the cards but on PC. Try the application I posted on computer with FAT32 in 32768 unit size.
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.
Phone specs
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband: S5360XXMC2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXMI1
Thanks again

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.

Is there any way to backup sd card and switch it with a new one without losing data?
2) do you recommend buying exteme pro sd card?

- plug old sd card into your pc using a card reader
- copy contents to your pc
- plug new sd card into your pc using a card reader
- copy contents to new card
BOOM! job done!

android folder on sdcard is not readable.
data folder on sdcard is not readable.
lol.
should be visable if you use a card reader as opposed to just plugging the phone in via usb?and make sure that folder options in windows is set to view hidden files and folders?
I've just tried with mine and I can see the Android folder and the .android_secure folder.
I think DATA is on the phone itself not on the ext-sd?

not sure, but usually the difference between sd cards is due to read/write speeds. best thing to do is read reviews from wherever you're buying the card and see if there are any from people using the card you've chosen with your device (or similar, like another mobile phone at least). if there are lots of reviews saying that it fails after a while, or that it is slow on their phone etc, then look for another one?
I have a Samsung branded 64gb class 10 micro sd xc (with the same "I" and "1" symbols as the one you've linked to, expect mine is plain black and samsung instead of sandisk. never had any problems, except for when i chose a custom rom that was not compatible with 64gb cards. but on stock rom it works perfectly, and even on other roms it will work fine if it's formatted on pc first with fat32 formatter.
