[Q] MicroSD card Mount fail after format - HD2 General

First off let me say Thanks to all the developers and testers for their hard work. It gets a bit frustrating when you have few words to say but are unable to do so because you don't have 10 posts.
I started messing with my HD2 after noticing what a bs windows mobile 6.5 truly was. I was fortunate enough to find the scene the week nand rom flashing became the hot new way to "free" our devices.
Few weeks have passed since, and slowly below the radar, community has moved towards CWM roms. New sick way of customizing to your heart's content. Thanks to everyone involved in development of this sick tool.
Now back to original reason for this post. I am running CWM 1.3 on my Leo 1024 HTC HD2. The last rom I tested was Revolution HD v2.5 CWM. prior to this I have tested about 15 different roms. 100% success rate and no issues.
I am also running class 10 MicroSD 16 GB card from Kingston. After flashing so many times the card got a bit fragmented so I decided to do a format using Panasonic SD formatter v2.0. After the format was done, my card fails to read anything I put on it, from the CWM (when I try to install zip rom it gives me "failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)" and "can't mount /sdcard".
At the same time If I mount USB storage from CWM when connected to my laptop, it comes up as external storage and I have full acess to cards contents.
What the hell did I do?

Sounds to me that you need to format it with an actual program like FDISK under Windows. Often times, programs that can format things for you have problems. Google for instructions on how to format your SD card via the Windows Command Prompt using the FDISK utility.

Thank you ashasaur, I'll give it a try!

Well, It seems problem was ID10T after all. Usually I am really good at paying attention to the details but this time it slipped by me...
It seems there is absolutely no issue with the Panasonic SD Formatter after all. The issue that followed after the attempted format of the MicroSD card was due to the wrong format setup.
I am posting proper instruction on how to format and avoid the NOOB situation I got myself into. This will also work for people that flashed WP7 and decided to go back to Nand, but tought SD card is ruined due to the WP7 protection mechanism.
Note: This will only work if your SD Card is atleast visible to your PC.
KEEP PHONE PLUGGED INTO YOUR PC THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
1. Reboot Phone and HOLD VOLUME DOWN KEY to enter BootLoader Screen (multicolor screen)
2. Download and flash MAGLDR 1.13. Reboot Phone
3. When phone is rebooting HOLD POWER BUTTON to enter MAGLDR Screen.
4. Go to OPTION 4. USB MassStg in MAGLDR.
5. Now Download SD Formatter 3.0 and install it.
*If your PC is not recognizing your SD Card go back to MAGLDR Main Menu by pressing the Power Button once and go to OPTION 10. RESET with phone still plugged in, and hold Power Button down while rebooting to get back to MAGLDR screen and select option 4. USB MassStg again. It should recognize it.
6. Open SD Formatter 3 and make sure your SD Card is being shown in the Drive Dropdown Box.
7. You can enter whatever Volume Label you like. Then click the OPTION BOX.
8. Select Format Type - Full Erase, and select Format Size Adjustment - On.
9. Then click Format and your SD Card should be reformatted and ready for use again.
It worked for me and I hope it works for others
*I didn't write these directions and as such I don't take credit for it. Directions were zipped with SDFormater3.0 (user didn't sign it). Thanks, however you are!

Clockwork Recovery 3.0 Corrupted My 16gb Sd Card

I had just finished installing Myns New Rom and Flashed the combo radios aswell, I ran Titanium Backup and installed my apps. I opened Rom Manager and said I had to flash Clockwork Mod and it updated to 3.O. I then proceeded to make a back up of the rom and then my phone went straight to boot loader, It would not reboot and would not enter recovery just reboots back into boot loader. I finally removed the sd card and rebooted after 10 mins it went back to my rom. I then tried to open my sd card on pc an nothing shows up, I tried 2 others and nothing, cannot even format. I borrowed my friends evo and went to recovery with sdcard in to format it say error can not mount and nothing. I tried within the phone, with cm6 installed and it said the sd card was blank or wrong something, (I forgot) No luck. I think it might have destroyed my sd card, Im trying to find a software that may allow me to do so any luck.
-not visible in pc
-cannot mount or format on phone or recovery mode.
-16gb Micro Sd card Sandisk class 2, bought when touch pro came out for 110 from bestbuy (got 100 back from Htc Touch return so really only 10)
-Had partitoned earlier to run mikifroyo app2sd, unpartioned by formatting.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Ok when I Insert My SD card it just boots to loading and reboots over and over again. Any ideas?

try looking in the forums for the lastet recovery in .zip format.
Copy it to the root of the sd card. (if you think that you have an issue with the SD card, then take a fresh SD that is formatted to Fat32. Make sure it is not NTFS. If you formatted on the Mac, make sure the partition format is MBR and not GUID, if you don't know how to do this, I can explain further. The easiest way would be to make sure that you do it on a windows machine)
Start your phone, and hopefully it will install the recovery automatically.
After you install the recovery, and get your phone booted into android, you can locate a pre-rooted rom of your choice in the forums here or at the "other" place if you prefer.
You can read more about it in this other section of the forum. The information below is from that forum, in case you can't find it or are too lazy to search.

How do I get my 16 GB memory card back...it now only shows 200 MB

I put WP 7 on my HD2 and it was working fine but I decided to go back to Android. I then took my 16 GB Sandisk card out and put it in the memory card reader but it only shows the partition of 200 MB.
I even download a program to format/partition the microSD card but I still could not get it to get back most of the available space in my 16 GB card. It keeps showing 200 MB on my computer and I tried to get rid of the partitioning but I still cannot do it.
Is there a solution to this?
sounds like your memory card is corrupted :/
Try
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/
If that doesn't fix it, it may be borked completely.. though some people have had success with the Nokia phone formatting tools
Easy,
Put your SD Card in your PHone
POwer off you phone
During Boot hold power off/on button on phone to access the MAGDLR Menu
Connect you Phone to PC
Choose MASSSTORAGE in MAGDRL Option number 4
Format your SD CARD over PC
Power off Phone - Job done!
i had the same problem, the way the i fix it was the i format the sd card in my blackberry and it works for me i try it in a samsung and fix the problem. the computer wasnt able to fix problem i used the format method from the computer. didnt work, and i used paragon software didnt work either. the only way was with different phone
I don't know why everybody thinks you have to put the card into something else. Enter MAGLDR, go to USB, connect it to the computer, run SD Formatter,Select correct drive, Options - Format Type= Full Erase On -Format Size Adjustment =ON.
This has been covered many times since the introduction of WP7. Using the search term 200mb in this section. I came up with plenty of answers to your problem.

[Magldr] 'AD SD dir' directory; reverts to main menu

Hey, I've tried installing Magldr a few times now, but whenever I try to go to "Services\BootSettings\AD SD Dir" it just goes back to the Magldr menu.
I've done some searching for the past couple of hours, and the general consensus was to reformat the sdcard because Magldr couldn't read the sdcard, I've tried reformatting multiple times (once via Windows quick format, once via Windows full format, and twice by EASEUS Partition Master) but can't seem to get this to work.
I was coming from CLK, the main reason I wanted to try dual booting two Android ROMs, one via NAND and the other via the SDCARD.

the option you tried is used in order to run sd-card roms, not for nand roms. to flash nand rom by mgldr, you must make the cwm partition as said in op of rom. then in mgldr-ad recovery-install zip from sd-choose zip from sd-find rom in list- flash and reboot.
The way I usually do it is flash the magldr nand ROM via clockworkmod and then copy the the extract the sdcard ROM to the root of the sdcard - and follow the specific instructions for the sdcard ROM.

In this case MAGLDR does not work with your SD Card for SD builds. I have this same problem with my Kingston 16GB class 4, but MAGLDR works fine with the shipped Sandisk 2GB class 2 (i.e. I can run SD builds from this but not the Kingston).
Ah okay, yeah, tried a Sandisk 16gb card and it worked, I had a 8GB Kingston (cls4) card, will look around for a new one as I took the Sandisk from my camera.
I know this was an old question but I'll throw my input in just incase this helps somebody in future..?
If you have been messing around with partition managment software make sure you set the FAT32 partition as Primary and not just logical...
Worked for me
Cheers, Adam.

I have two sd cards. And with the kingstom I have this problem, all partitions are primary.
stay in the magldr,
take the SD card out ,
and insert SD card again,
then try \AD SD Dir again,
you got it

Until the next time or two you reboot then no more boot directory again.
But yes, popping the card out will enable you to try the process - but you'll need another make of card for it to be reliable.

[Problem] Recovery no detected SD

I have a problem.
HD2 returned from the service, so i have to install Android. I decided this time NDT Miui, although it does not matter. So I install HSPL4, Radio + Task29 and MagLDR 1.13.
Next - install recovery - well I decided to install the latest 5.0.26 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531), so I downloaded from this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913) recovery and substituted recovery-raw.img this new. Recovery run
1.Before install rom I wipe data / cache and Dalvik.
2. I wanted to make SD-EXT partitions so I choose partitioning EXT 1024MB and swap 0MB.
3. Unfortunately partitioning process stood(stopped) 10 minutes, so I took out battery, and put and restart phone.
4.I was not sure what happened with card, so I formatted SD in Win7
5.In recovery partitionning this time doing good and it displayed "Done".
==== Problem ====
6.Unfortunately when I doing wipe data I get this message:
App2SD No partition found. Skipping the format of / sd-ext.
Likewise, when you try to mount:
Can not mount / sdcard /
7. Therefore of course it is not possible to install rom, because I get, the message that it can't mount the card.
=========================
==== Attempts solution ====
8 Formatting (quick and full) in Win7, and program - SDFormatter.
9 GParted run from the disc and remove the partition and create EXT3 and FAT32.
10 Inserting the card for Nokia and format it.
11 Finding another card (128MB) but recovery display the same problems.
12 The cards are normally visible in Windows or Nokia.
13 When I put the card and I doing wipe data as in step 6 I get this the message and then after removing card and inserting to reader, Windows calls that you need to format the card, because it can't open SD.
14 In an analogous situation to the point 13, but I doing in recovery sd partitionning, I does not have a problem in Windows (Windows see partition in Fat32, which is reduced by roughly the size set to EXT).
15 Install old recovery 3.0.0.5 - the same problems
As for the 1-3 point I do not know whether it is important. I'm not too sure if the first time when I did wipe data (before this wrong partitioning - a point 2-3) whether it was ok or not - but unfortunately when I did not pay attention and I'm not sure.
Any ideas?
Try re-flashing CWM with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783&highlight=nand+toolkit
and then see if it sees your sd card.
I tried create partition by Mini Tool Partition too - unsuccesfull.
So, I tried return to WM6.5 stock. Copy LEOIMG.nbh to SDCard and I run Bootloader Mode (Vol- + Power) and nothing... It display Serial, but if I plug USB cable, it display USB. So, I install WM6.5 by RUU.exe from htc.com. OK, it installed WM.
In WM, phone can't see (detected) SD Card too? Are You think that I broke SDCard-reader in HD2?
Yep, sounds like a hardware problem at this point, as the likelihood of WM, Android, and CWM all having the same problem at the same time due to software/firmware issues is astronomically slim.
Looks like it's time to start looking for a reliable, decent-priced repair shop. Sorry for your bad luck.
Heh, Just like the ICS release... ;/
I tried with 4 different cards and nothing.
Strange that in a moment and read the card as soon as I changed even two others, this also read them.
Unfortunately, I wanted to copy something already on the card and then HD2 did not read anything again, so probably a hardware issue.

Help Rooting My new nook color 1.4.1

Hello XDA fourms, i have just today bought a nook color. I have been researching rooting it so i can read my manga and comics on it. I have decided to root it through a micro sd 4gb card so that if i want to use my nook regularly i can. now the problem is i can not understand half the things people say to do to achieve rooting my Nook color. can any one help me or redirect me to an easy place to teach me how to do this?
That's exactly how I started out. You can find instructions on the "[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards." thread in the "Nook Color Android Development" forum. I'm no Android expert, being more a console Linux & C/Forth kind of guy, but it worked for me.
Since I spent most of my time in stock and only had a few apps I actually used on the card, I ended up rooting the stock nook with a manual nooter to install those apps in the Nook Color stock home page ... but using the SD card install for a month was quite useful in working out whether I wanted to root the stock B&N firmware or install a CM7 firmware instead.
ok so i tried to make an sd card out of my 4 gb but it didnt work so i decided to reformate it and now it only has 117 mb! wth? im so confused...

when you write the image to the SD card the partition is 117mbs. windows can only see that partition (there is actually 4 on the card after the image is written) that's why when you hit reformat it reformatted it to 117mbs. boot your nook up into stock form with the SD card in it, then go into your settings and hit "unmount SD card" then hit "reformat". That'll get you back to 4gbs.
ok great! ill try that thank you very much! but now how do i get it rooted?
If you "want to root it through a micro sd 4gb card so that if i want to use my nook regularly i can" ... you aren't really rooting the device, you are just making an SD card that will boot up its own system and leave the stock system in the built-in flash alone. Then if the card is pulled out (or replaced with a non-bootable SD card), the bootloader skips the SD card and boots from the internal flash.
If you are using a Windows box, as nook711 explained, the regular Windows format will not change existing SD partitions, so it will just format one relatively small partition on the SD card. To reformat back to a single clean SD partition on the Windows side, google for Panasonic SDFormatter.
As far as how to get that card to work as an SD-boot card ~ its hard to say, since you didn't say what went wrong the first time you tried it: which imager program did you use? did you power the Nook down all the way before rebooting it? Did it hang, or did it fail to boot and start up as a stock Nook Color?
Unless of course I misread you: if you want to root it using a SD card in a way that allows it to also be used as a regular Nook ~ that is, the third party apps show up in what looks like a regular B&N Home page ~ that is a manual noot you want to do. The instructions for doing a manual noot are in the "[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16" thread. However, those are instructions for a 1.2 or 1.3 version. Instead of using the manualnooter file described in the opening post, skip ahead to page 175, and look for GMPOWER's post #1745. The "LINK" downloads a manualnooter file that seems to work for a stock Nook Color 1.4.1 ~ at least, that's the one I've used and now I have what looks like a stock Nook Color, except with Crackle, Crunchyroll, YouTube, OpenIntents and DolphinMini apps showing up on the B&N home pages.

so what happen on my first try was i used winimage to write the genertic sd card file on to it. i than put update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip on the card. my nook was off and i turned it on. it did not boot from the sd card. i have not tried holding the n button to see if that worked yet. i do have the sd card formatted and i have already formatted the card back to 4 gb. Next i was going to do the same steps but try and hold the n button
update:so i tried the N button but it didnt boot the sd card... i just dont know what im doing wrong!?
if it did not boot from the sdcard then I would suspect that the image did not write to the sdcard correctly. the nook will automatically look at the sdcard boot first.
did you unzip the image file before writing it to the card?
did you write the image as admin in the winimage?
After writing the image to the sdcard remove it from your computer and then plug it back in the computer, if it wrote correctly it should now say "boot"
"my nook was off and i turned it on. it did not boot from the sd card"
It only boots if it is turned on from a powerdown. If it just went to sleep to save the battery, and a quick tap of the power button can wake it up, its not powered down, its only sleeping.
When its awake, hold the power button, wait for the "do you want to turn it off completely" dialog, keep holding the power button, and it will turn off. That is a complete power down. Then put in the bootable SD-card, and hold the power button until it turns on ~ it ought to boot off the card instead of off the Nook internal flash.
Like any Android device, it will take a while to go from the boot screen to the home screen on the first power-up, but you'll see the skaterboy droid in a couple of minutes and know that its grinding through the process of setting up the CM7 system.
And regarding the CM7 update file ~ looking in my PC file system, that's the same CM7 update file I used.

Yes i did shut it off and than turned it on but is still does not work?
i have also been looking at video on youtube. but every single one tells me something different. so far the one i found that seems to be the closest to what im trying to do is this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4nenR-mNo0 but even so i feel like the more i watch the more confused i get
There are only three things that come to my mind:
(1) What is the make and class of the microSD card? That's not from personal experience, but it shows up in multiple HowTo guides, both here and on other sites. I used a Kingston Class 4 8gb microSD card, but the preference seems to be for SanDisk Class 4.
(2) A generic image is likely to work best if its written onto a "like new" fully formatted SD card ~ I have seen a few YouTube clips of various rooting efforts where formatting it with the Panasonic SDFormatter Windows executable succeeded after the prior effort had failed.
Edit: the YouTube clip you posted is the first one where I saw advice to use the Panasonic SDFormatter. However, other than that, I mostly followed the xda How-To.
I'd note that even though the the CrashTechDummies YouTube clip is from April, 2011, they are using a HowTo guide for a image that is older than the "size-agnostic" image in the "Size-agnostic" How To guide, so they have to do several things by hand that are handled automatically by the "Size-agnostic" image.
(3) What is your hardware for writing SD images? USB-port card writers sometimes need to be safe-unmounted with the USB unmount tool before popped out. I've run into that before in a different context.
If its not one of those, then I got nothing, sorry. The part between copying the CM7 file onto the generic image and seeing the CM7 droid skaterboy "just worked" for me.

there's lots of ways to get to the end result, don't get confused we will help you through the process.
Now that being said:
This was my process
* reformat your SD card again using the stock nook
* download "windisk32 image writer" (easier I think then winimage)
* download "verygreens, genenric 1.3image.zip"
* unzip the image.zip to your desktop (using 7zip)
* open windisk32, click the blue folder and find the image file on your desktop for generic 1.3
* select your corresponding drive to your sdcard hit write
*when finished remove sdcard and reinsert it into computer
* download (cm7.1 or cm7.2)
* open up " my computer" on windows
* drag "cm7.1 or 7.2" to the corresponding drive for sdcard (should say boot)
* when finished right click hit eject when safe to do so remove sdcard
* insert sdcard into fully powered down nook
* turn nook on (after a few it should go to a little Linux penguin) and install scripts should be running
* when it's done it'll power off
* wait a few minutes and turn the nook on, should boot into cm7 but first you should see the android riding a skateboard.
*while that's working download the gapps file
after you set up cm7 for the first time, shut it down.
* remove sdcard and reinsert it into your computer
* open up "my computer" and drag the gapps file to the sdcard drive
* when finished hit eject and reinsert the card into the nook and while holding the "n" power up the nook (should see the little Linux penguin again)
* when its finished it should power down againbthen just turn it on and set up Google
hope this helps
** again this is just what works for me and I have successfully done several different nook for friends, family and myself.
uh is there any way you could supply some links ? i mean i think i have alot of these things but iv been gathering it from doing reaserch so i justwant to make sure i have the right files

there's lots of ways to get to the end result, don't get confused we will help you through the process.
Now that being said:
This was my process
x reformat your SD card again using the stock nook
x download "windisk32 image writer" (easier I think then winimage)
xdownload "verygreens, genenric 1.3image.zip"
xunzip the image.zip to your desktop (using 7zip)
xopen windisk32, click the blue folder and find the image file on your desktop for generic 1.3
xselect your corresponding drive to your sdcard hit write
xwhen finished remove sdcard and reinsert it into computer
x download (cm7.1 or cm7.2)
x open up " my computer" on windows
xdrag "cm7.1 or 7.2" to the corresponding drive for sdcard (should say boot)
xwhen finished right click hit eject when safe to do so remove sdcard
xinsert sdcard into fully powered down nook
xturn nook on (after a few it should go to a little Linux penguin) and install scripts should be running
x when it's done it'll power off
* wait a few minutes and turn the nook on, should boot into cm7 but first you should see the android riding a skateboard.
*while that's working download the gapps file
after you set up cm7 for the first time, shut it down.
* remove sdcard and reinsert it into your computer
* open up "my computer" and drag the gapps file to the sdcard drive
* when finished hit eject and reinsert the card into the nook and while holding the "n" power up the nook (should see the little Linux penguin again)
* when its finished it should power down againbthen just turn it on and set up Google
hope this helps
** again this is just what works for me and I have successfully done several different nook for friends, family and myself.

you can use the nook as a mass USB storage device. while on the nook plug the cord into your nook and then the USB side into your computer. the computer should pick it up as USB mass storage and show 2 drives, 1 for nook color and the other for sdcard. once connected you can put whatever you want on it.
