I recently lost my Droid 1and got the fascinate second hand. Here is the problem. I have 0.00 internal memory so can't get apparently. Was rooted at one time as such,busybox,etc is on SD card and it also has voodoo file. I really don't knowwhat was done to it so I'm confused on what steps to take to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From what I heard Voodoo causes that problem. Remove it.

Ok, I have a Samsung Fascinate.
Rooted, CWM, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, SetCPU, ASTRO, JT 1000 voodoo kernel with animation.
Ok the problem is and I am almost certain that what caused it is flashing JT's 1000 kernel over top the original 0.2 JT voodoo kernel. However I had read in the forums that people have done this with no problem and I believe in the install thread it says you CAN do it with indeed no problems. However soon after doing the flash everything was working great and I took a couple pictures at dinner which is how I know it was working. Later last night I went to take another picture while out and it wouldn't let me because the SD card wasn't being detected.
I have a sd card reader but not with me and won't until I get home later tonight but I figured maybe until then I can get some help to how to fix it for when I do get home.
I have took a 8gb mini sd from my girlfriends HTC Eris and put it in just to see if it would read which it does perfectly fine. However you plug my 16gb back into the phone and it doesn't even recognize plugging it into the phone.
Any ideas?
all the views and no replies?
any ideas would help guys!
Sounds like your sd card is corrupted. Did you try the card in another phone? Try to reformat the card.

the back up that I made and all, wouldn't that be on the sd card though?
I would think trying to save the card would be a better choice at first eh?
anyone else?

If the card works in another device, then I would wonder if the problem could be voodoo specific, such as the 0 internal memory issue. As far as I know, the only fix for that is the complete voodoo removal process, and a wipe in both stock recovery and cwm.

I tried to put the card into my sd card reader on the computer and it wont read it...assuming its a bad card. When its in the phone the sd card reader slot heats up too a massive HOT temp really quick within second and doesn't do anything. I guess I am gonna unroot using another sd card and take the phone to verizon and be like wtf....
I un-rooted and am gonna take the phone to the verizon store.
I plugged a 1GB from my old phone into the sd card slot and re-flashed CWM to see if I just removed the kernel's if maybe that would fix the sd card but I am almost positive its the sd card that is fried somehow...But it put the phone back to stock except it was rooted...not sure how that happened but i guess everything was on the sd card that I had done???
So confused but basically I am just gonna goto the store get a new card when they realize mine is bad and then re-do everything...Just never flashing a kernel on top of another one again whether people say its safe or not!

I can assure you that had nothing to do with your card. Sometimes you get a bad lot. I order about one a month for various things, and have had to RMA here and there. I swapped the one my phone adopted with for an 8gb class 10 anyway, because the stock are class 2.

Lol. I mean to say the kernel flashing cannot cause the sd card to fail. The card was probably bad to begin with. A bogus card will simply fail, sometimes after functioning fine for awhile.

oh ok, makes sense now...however a bad sd card pretty much screws me over because that is what held everything on it including the kernel and such along with all my apps?

No. the install file for the kernel, but that installs it on the phone. Apps are stored on the internal memory, not the sd card. Pretty much, it just holds your music, pictures, application data in some instances (not the app itself), and any files you need to flash.

So when I get my new sd card tomorrow and load launcher pro back onto the phone, my apps should still be on the phone??
what if I can't even download launcher pro due to this problem of it not letting me download an app because it says I don't have enough internal memory available...
Whoa.
Now that problem is the internal memory issue, not the external sd card. That is voodoo related, and the post about completely removing voodoo addresses it. I ran into that once, and it took about soften minutes to fix following those instructions.

awesome, thanks!
Pretty much my internal 2gb microSD card has died on me and i need everything off of it to relpace it with a new microSD card. i have a spare 8gb microSD and it would be a great help if somebody could get me these files and then help me partition the 8gb card correctly to work with the streak. ANY help is greatly appreciated because i dont have the money to buy a new Streak
Edit - All is working now. i ended up replacing the card and flashing all the .img files via fastboot. the original card just decided it didnt want to be dead anymore and is now working correctly too. If anyone is having the problem where recovery says to insert a microSD with an update.pkg file (and you actually have it in) the fastboot method is a workaround to flash and all should work back as normal after that
Should be possible without opening ones streak with ADB, maybe even with root explorer. I am at work right now, but if nobody has answered your call I'll see what I can do.

im not the most tech savvy person around but i can follow directions pretty well. i found this thread
http://android.modaco.com/content-page/311538/hardware-hacking-this-puppy-input/page/80/
and was also linked to it on my twin thread at modaco but it doesnt seem like its going to work the way the stock one would also i still wouldnt have the correct files that are supposed to be on the card. the people on that thread are doing it for storage space. i just want it to work like stock but i only have an 8gb card.
Sorry I should have been more clear, shouldn't be too hard for the person who would help you to do it without opening their streak.
Actually, I would think that so long as you get the partitioning correct (you might have to simply ignore the extra six gigs of space), you might just be able to flash the default recovery and install a .pkg from there.

Did you get this to work at all? I am facing the same problem, except I was able to salvage the internal sd-card. I reformatted with the ext3 partitions, same size as before. My problem was that I somehow removed all files from the internal sd-card and my phone went dead, no qdl nothing. If you would please tell me how you fixed this problem.
Thanks

Go here and read step #12 in post #2. Worked for me when I upgraded my internal card. I installed the card blank and let the streak do the rest. Followed it up with a full Nandroid restore.

I need help if possible, i've been searching for threads on partitioning for the Aria, and i found some for other phones but not the aria, are they all the same process, like can i used the procedure for another phone to partition my sdcard, if anybody can help, it would be greatly appreciated....thanx

Logically speaking, a SD card is a SD card so the process would be the same. If I were you I'd back up the contents of my SD and try it out...I'm pretty sure somewhere in the original CM6 thread this subject was mentioned so it might be worth sifting through the mass amounts of pages to try and locate that...

So i got a HTC wildfire a few days ago, wanted that extra access(still have no idea what it does) i rooted it with unrEVOked, took some time but was quite easy. After rooting it said "low phone memory" only had like 9mb free. What can i do about this? I mean i only had this phone for a few days it had like 15games on it before root. Also just got a new 8gb memory card and the phone isn't using it at all. i dont want to flash a new rom if theres a way to fix the memory problem.
2nd thing is its recommended to backup your files(or the whole rom, idk) with nandroid before you flash a new rom, how do i do that? i found something about it but it was about a completely different phone, if theres a tutorial somewhere please give me a link
Sorry if all of this is on the forum, i was searching for like 2hours before posting this, found some info but it was about other phones or maybe outdated

Why I would bother is irrelevant to the question. I am simply wondering if anyone has tried it successfully. Obviously, you have not, so why bother answering?

Yes. This is the way I did it on my old G1. Worked great back in those ancient Android days. Of course, now it's a lot easier with recoveries being able to do it so easy now.

The question was meant to help you realize that you're not going to get any MT4G-relevant answers. Recoveries are able to repartition SD cards for a couple of years now, so even older phone users like myself (N1) had no use for this guide. It's ancient history.
On the other hand, if you're trying to learn how to manually use parted - you don't need to be in a phone forum for that, it's a Linux command, you can grab any manual on the net and be sure that it'll work.
