My SD card is really cluttered and I just want to reformat it, I was just wondering if there's a speacial way to reformat? Or do I just right click the drive on my computer and click format?

yep thats all you have to do, easy as that. make sure to move all your files to a folder on your computer before erasing everything
Thanks bro

I have liberated aria, app2sd (cooked into liberated r12), and my sd card reports as damaged. I've resigned myself to format this card, but it keeps reporting as damaged whether I format using Android or Clockwork. Don't have a PC available to format, and have not yet tried removing the ext partition. (Didn't want to lose all my apps.)
Anyone have any thoughts?

I had the same scare with a new SD card also. After I formatted using a pc, it was ok.

I figured I'd have to plug it into a PC. I guess I'll do that when I get home Monday.
Thanx for the help.

When I put it in a card reader, it was slow as heck to read and format the card, but format it did.
It also left my ext partition intact.

Where did you get your SD card from cuz it sounds like it may be starting to go bad. I'd try formating again with a stock ROM...bit of a pain i know, but might produce a better result also you may wanna try to just reformat a few times in a row with your current ROM to see if it corrects the problem.
best option is if it keeps up is to pull your SD card out of your device and format with a computer when u have access to one then format using your device.
Whenever I connect my device to computer, when I remove it, device hangs and sd card doesn't get mounted.i always have to reboot.plz suggest something.

Back up your data and format the sdcards, both internal and external. Copy files back to the sdcard. I faced it earlier and it got resolved after formatting.

If you have swapped your sdcard and that is causing problem. Then replace the original vold.fstab and take out the microsd and check connecting with PC. But if out its drivers issue, then you know what you should do.

Dude i had the same prob yesterday.i thought i was so fu**ed.here is what i did.temove ur ext sd.check with a card reader if its corrupted or totaly wasted.if corrupted then format.if wasted,tough luck.after formatting, put the original vold stab inside it.dont put it inside.try to format the inbuilt sd from the phone.if nothing happens just wait for some tym.dont bother mounting.wont work.then turn off the phone.put the ext sd inside.turn on.do a factory reset.if u r lucky,it will show the cards.then just to b safe unswipe by putting the default vold.it shud b fine.in my case it happened after i was messing with chainfire 3d.i think its due to low quality sd card.by the way my 8gb ext. Sd is totally worthless now.no regrets tho.it was a low quality one.gave problems in my digi cam too.what ext sd do u use.best of luck dude.i spend almost 3hrs yesterday tryin to fix it.hope this post was of help to u.

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:
There's an app on the Play Shop which claims to fix this, give it a try

I guess the problem lies in permission thingy. Flash this zip file in here works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458021
Gud luck!
i think your card is getting faulty ......

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.

Should I repartition the SD card with swap storage and ext4 and stuff?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Just format the card with 4ext then reflash rom.

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
Is there anyway to move apps to SD? I know they took out the feature in ICS, but maybe via an app or something? 8GB is pretty small when you take away a gig for a rom slot...

better yet, has anyone figured out if you can flip flop the internal and external sd locations so the phone thinks your external sd card is the primary? I know this was possible on the X2 and the RAZR's.
I have the memory switch .zip file, but no way to install it on my rooted Droid RAZR M
I was curious how difficult would out be to just rename the internal storage from sd card to internal storage? If that is possible then we could just rename external to sd card then we should be able to move apps to the card easily.

Tried an app from the market and it seems working: GL to SD. need root access

nah. tried renaming them last week or so and it not only didnt work, the damn things renamed themselves upon reboot. im pretty pissedf about the memory on this phone cuz the phone itself is pretty snappy.
Dang I guess Motorola has this phone on lock down. I used my EVO 4g to copy songs over to my SD card and once I inserted it back in and tried to mount it, it kept saying blank, so I rebooted my phone and it showed up. If I wasn't as smart as I am I would have probably formatted the damn thing lmao I was wondering if they did that as a minor precaution to people trying to hack the phone with something on the SD card, but then again I'm sure if they did a reboot wouldn't have made it show up then.

So were you able to move anything other than game data to your ext sd? It let me move dropbox, but nothing else showed up on its list of transferable files.
