the only way ive seen to make the phone reread the sd card other then reboot is to change something on the sd with the myfiles app that the phone comes with... wonder if we could make an app to force a rescan of the card
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Or you could download a free app like ScanMedia that will trigger a media scan process on your SD card, no reboot required. Works great on my Fascinate
I also tried to see if there was an action that could be tied to a LauncherPro icon, but no such luck. It must be a more complicated process than that.

[Q] Rooting with Gingerbreak

I've read that rooting with Gingerbreak works with the latest update, but also might erase the internal storage. Exactly what part of the internal storage might be erased? EVERYTHING, or just installed apps, ringtones, music, etc...?

Anything on internal storage, if u click on app files and go to internal storage anything there, so if u don't put apps on sd ur fine but some of its files it saves will be gone

So... basically my best bet would be to make a copy of everything i can onto my computer before attempting the root?

Yes

And..... another question. Is a microSD card actually required for it, or no?

I never remove my sd so I am not sure
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

Yes an external SD card is required. You will be prompted to have one when you first install gingerbreak. I had to go out and buy one.

just copy su file in /osh/bin with some name. your root will be preserved.

Not gonna lie sam, what you said means absolutly nothing to me. Care to elaborate a little more for the special needs section of the class?

I think Sam might be referring to something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12506713&postcount=88

I come from the iphone world, we don't do command line anything. All the adb and stuff literally goes right over my head. Sorry brother.....

Pics lost and sd card blank

I hope I put this in the right thread. I flashed a different kernal, clicked set on boot with setcpu and it instantly locked up my phone. Now I've lost all my photos and videos and my sd card is blank. Any ideas if any on how to retrieve them. Thank you in advance

There's a software online called "minitool power data recovry". It has a price ($40-$145, they have a functional demo), but its performed miracles for me in terms of data recovery.
But my first recomendation, anytime you experience data loss, STOP everything your doing with the drive (or sdcard), every second you try to access it, you might be loosing more and more data.

After you figure out this mess get Titanium Media Sync so you don't have these problems anymore. I gather you don't have a cwm backup?

Also never pick SetCPU for set changes on boot until you thoroughly test your settings. This way it will restore to stock settings if you lock up and have to reboot. The same goes to Voltage Control or any overclocking/undervolting app. Every phone is different and requires custom settings and extensive testing.

I did....i have nothing now. Idk what happened to the phone

Did you pull the card out and put it in a card reader on a computer to see if your data is still there?
Do you BONSAI?

Have not. I'm at work and I don't have acess to my computer but ill give it a try...thank you

Had the same issue 2 days ago... Was using google books, got up and heated up some food, came back and I had a notification saying "sd card blank." removed and put it back in... (that's wut she said)... Same thing... Completely stock from asurion with 16 gb sd card. Haven't had access to a pc I can play with for a couple of weeks otherwise I woulda tried the previous post... Anyone else get this?

Its this something wrong with my phone that damaged the sd card or
Did I just get a bad card... If its the latter will TEP replace it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Edit: went to Sprint store and told them about my problem. they didn't ask any questions just replaced the sd card... Unfortunately they said they were out of 16 gb cards so I got an 8, however they gave me the 16 gb bad card back and a business card with the store managers signature on it and said come back in a week with the SD card and they will replace it... Seems like I'll get to keep the 8 gigger (as he put it) too...

I saw this problem earlier in the week, and my friend's epic wiped all pics/videos- blanked it, but somehow kept the apps.. the data was still there- I used diskdigger (pc app from diskdigger.org, which you have to pay for- i think it's $15 now) and an usb sd card reader. I did a surface scan for traces of files (dig deeper), where you have to tell it what to look for (eg: look for .jpgs only), and it pulled up a ton of files- some of them browser cache files, some were the missing pics, etc. I guess you could use any file recovery program, but the thing to remember: if you think you lost everything, don't use the sd card! Writing anything to it might write over the files you are trying to recover. A new 16gb card off amazon is around $30. I'd love to know why the epic erases everything.

I have had a kernel do this to me twice in the past. Turned out to be some error in script. It has long since been fixed. It was like my SD card got formatted. Everything was gone. Hope that's not the case for you. Out of curiousity, which kernel did you flash?

I flashed genocide kernal which I run on my other epic at 1.4 on demand and it works great. For some reason it totally wiped out my other one.....strange....

Yes same thing for me got replacement with card from Asurion and I am convinced now their cards are not probably 16gb and faulty. I can't access the card at all on my pc even with some advanced tools.

Can be downloaded over 4G instead of just wifi. I <3 amazon app store, free app per day has to be the best idea ever.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Thanks nick for this heads up.
Also, I downloaded this with WiFi but now it won't install. I still have ~130MB free on my phone and once it's installed I'll move it to my SD but it's just not installing.
What should I do?
UPDATE: Fixed my issue. Had to re-download and it finally installed

After downloading I just moved the App to the SD card. Also downloaded fine over 4G as well. I think I have just been getting every app of the day from there even if it sucks lately. Been some really nice free apps lately though.

Yeah, Pacman today...from Namco even. Pretty sweet. I used to be totally against more than one app store but Amazon has figured out a way to get me to actually use it even though I may not agree with it.

Not sure if this is also happening to you guys n gals but since I moved this game to the sd card, it stopped working. Once I load the game, then a hourglass pops up and then closes n loads back to the main desktop. Going to try n move the game back to the phones internal and see if the same thing happens...

I moved and played mine straight to the sd card that came default with the phone no problem. Maybe it' just your card?

Same thing happened to my wife's SDcard, in her G2. I have no clue how it happened. I ended up just formatting the whole SDcard i didn't feel like messing with it.

I believe you have to hook up your phone to the usb and laptop/computer make sure it disk drive. Then your. Computer picks it up, now open it on your computer right click on the folder where your other folders are.. go to properties and I do believe at the bottom you gonna see 2 "read only and hidden" option uncheck the read only. Sorry for the confusions.

I got it working I put the SD card on my EVO 4g and it got rid of read only and just put it back on my mytouch

Formatting is another option. But you going to lose all data store on the SD card.
