OK so I installed app2sd on my x8 with 8g sd card. Now I want to use a 16g card. The thing is, the phone can't boot into android with the 16g card. It keeps rebooting in sonyEricsson screen over and over again. I can use it normally when I put the 8g in. I'm using stock rom.
I guess the only possible culprit is the app2sd. Please help. Thanks.
If I'm not mistaken, when you instal app2sd there is an option to instal or uninstal

your phone root?
did you format and partitioned the sdcard into fat (fat32) and ext 2, 3 or 4?
Sent from my U20a using XDA App
Yes it is rooted. And yes I did the ext thing exactly. The phone is working fine as long as the 8g card is in use. I've already tried to factory reset it with on success.

Searched before, never did found a good tut for partitioning a SD Card with Success.
Like to partition a SD card to ext/swap/fat32 properly.
Also always wonder, can I install apps on to SD card fat32 partition or ext? rather than the Cell build in memory?(myTouch 3G 1.2)
Can some one point me to a good tutorial to do this?
Or a video tutorial?
Cheer!

Use the option in your recovery image. I think AmonRA's should work just fine.
The ROM your using will decide whether you can install apps to FAT or to EXT partitions. Honestly I would use the EXT partition out of the two because if loaded to FAT you'll lose your Alps when you unmount your SD card. Honestly you've got plenty of internel storage so you shouldn't need it.

When I installed LeeDroid 3.21 I followed instructions and I formatted SD and made partition.
Today I downgraded my phone to stock 1.32 in order to use easy radio tool and to det super cid, sim unlock and radio s-off
i did it
now i wanna give a try to revolutionary hd 5.21 and decide should i use it or continue with leedroid.
In clockworkmod i formatted sd card and when I mount it on my PC I se external disk with 6.44GB capacity.
Does it should be like that?
I doubt that partition which I made before has not been deleted when I format sd
i have no sd-ext option in clockwordmod
thanks
can anybody tell me do you see 6,44gb from windows 7 on your dhd or more?
solved
i formatted card in my photo camera and it's ok now. I see 7.40GB
thanks to everybody
hello.
I had no problems with my sd card, until I installed MccMBoxmaX Transformer SS V 7.5.
Everything goes fine, I run wm6 and from the sd card the android, but once android it says sd card damaged. I format the card from the android system and then when I try to mount it from the system it doesn´t recognizes it.
Can anyone help me with this?
The sd card is correct, since it works fine as it reads the android system.
Thank you
Similar problem. Would appreciate some help please.
I am having the same problem. The SD Card works great with WM, WP7, Android MIUI and other non HTC Sense builds but when I install HTC Sense builds, "damaged sd card" message shows up...still searching for solution
In post 2 of the Transformer ROM post is the answer...you need to format your SD with the tool provided there, then reinstall the ROM and you are good to go.

Yes, this worked for me...installed SDFormatter and formated the SD card. However, Do I need to reinstall the ROM? The phone seem to be working fine.
Thanks
Are you running the Transformer ROM now? If so, and its working good, no need to reinstall..although I'm not sure how you can format your card and still have the ROM on it without reinstalling..

Did you happen to not safely remove the sd card from USB storage? Also have you tried using a sd card formatter there are plenty free to download and may fix sd cards not recognized by windows. I have had this happen but only when I flashed wp7 and messed up my sd

You can also use a partition program to recovery borked SD cards.

What ROM are you using?
By the way, android needs to format a new sdcard so it can be used to store data on.

aurora ics. i want to get back to stock 2.3.5 cause can't stand the battery drain any more but i can't as bootloader doesn't recognize the sd card
So your sdcard is pretty much completely dead? Can your computer recognize your SD card? If your pc can recognize it but your phone can not then you should send your phone to service. Also try reformatting the SD card and installing Aurora ICS by doing a clean install through your internal SD card.
EDIT: You can install zips from internal SD card using TWRP v2.5.0.0 by forumber2.

Hey. Thanks for your reply. Yes computer recognizes the card just fine. I tried formating the card but don't work. There are times when card is being recognized but not for too long. And that happens to recovery mode.Can u give me steps or link to flash rom via internal sd?
Sent from my U8800 using xda app-developers app
Ask someone on the u8800 forum. I have a u8800pro sorry. I'm assuming that you have to move the zip into your internal memory, then install twrp 2.5.0.0 and choose install zip from internal memory.

yeah, the thing is that i cannot use my internal memory. when i try to download the rom from my phone it asks for sd and when i try to move rom from sd to internal sd it says error. i also tried to make my internal sd card "external sd card" but when i try to safe the system/etc file it says it can't be saved
Why don't you download the ROM to your computer and move it to your internal SD card with a USB cable?

I realised it is my new sd card. Its micro sd too but a little different in shape. So I just used a tape to get it well attached to the port. Now everything works good
