Ok I wanted to try apps to SD but didnt really care for it and wanted to convert back to normal. I got rid of my partioned part of my SD but I did nothing in the terminal to revert the actions taken to get apps2sd. When I download apps they go directly on the phone and not the SD card. At some point the apps2sd did work though but after wiping here and there i noticed the effects of it were going(apps going to phone and not sd). But to get to the point whenever I try to mount my phone it works for like a second and the phone says preparing sd card again. For some reason it wont connect to my computer and I'm sure you guys can imagine the trouble that bring me. I have a sd card adapter but I need to be able to mount my phone. Any ideas what went wrong or if its because I didnt revert the actions taken to get apps2sd back to normal? Please let me know anything. Thanks.
ok i was playing with Ak-47 app on The dudes cupcake then next thing you know it says Blank sd card now I cant use any apps and under settings<SD card & storage it says total space and availalable space unavailable and unmount sd card. When I go to notifications bar where it says Blank SD card it suggest to re format sd card....What should I do? even when I mount onto pc under removable **** it suggest to reformat. What should I do? I dont wanna brick my phone. Also it wont let me see any files under removable disk.

wiping doesnt do anything to your sd card
Refomat?
Well Could I just use the onscreen selection on my phone to reformat or will this cause problems.

that i dont know. i just use a card reader and format then depending on what build im using i wipe and start fresh
same thing happened to me last week on one of the dudes builds. My sd card was ruined. I tried to reformat it and then repartition it but it wouldnt let me repartition even though i deleted the old one. I messed with it for hours, before some one told me that it was ruined. all the transfering of info back and forth fried it i guess. I ended up buying a new one, this time class 6 (old one was class 2) I got it for 20 bucks (8gb) not to shabby of a price! sorry for your misfortune. Good luck

The same thing happened to me about 4 days ago, however Im running cyangones 3.4 Rom not the dudes, tell me ....were you running any themes at the time like the hero theme or any other? Are you using apps to sd as in do you have your sd card partitioned ? Im trying to figure out why this happened to me also, as of right now it has happened twice in 4 days then, I wiped my phone, reformatted / repartitioned my sd card and am not using any custome theme with cyanogens 3.4 rom and it seems to be ok. I only have a few apps right now because I want to make sure it doesnt happen again before I load up my sd card again with apps.
i had no themes and i was using app2sd. but i wasnt using any apps at the time.. just thought i would ad my 2 cents

And yes to other gut I does has some hero in the dude 1.3r2. bout to try to reformat I guess tell you what happens in a minute.
ok
I reformatted then put files back on G1(including the dudes cupcake 1.3r2(cant give up on the perfect mod lol)) then wiped and Alt-s....only diffrence this time is that i am gonna use appmanager and not put everything on class 2 8 gig so it will not burn out...and hopefully it want destroy my sd card.Thankx to everyone you guys were a big help.
very interesting topic....
same here:
I tried with 3 other sdcards, 2 of them are 100% ok, NO GO, doesnt work anymore. First I thought that my G1 reader has a problem, some time it works, some time not. Im on dudes 12b with apps2sd. The fact that no card works tells me:
- Phone error
or
- Software problem (really strange if this is the problem)
I wipe right now and will tell you if the card works again....
i had similar problem last week when switching from cyan 3.4 to dudes 1.3 i first tried just doing an alt - w and that gave me a lot of errors and force closes so i started over and reformatted/repartitioned my sd. Now my sd card doesnt read when i plug into pc but still works in phone. everytime i want to change/edit sd i have to pull sd out and use an adapter..it sucks cuz the lil sd latch is such a pain to open and close on the g1..
ok wipe didnt anything... really strange thing I can do nothing anymore, card is not readable (in pc it is readable, but not in my g1)....
Config:
Dudes 1.2b
No themes, no extras
APPS2SD, 500 MB EXT Partition
8 GB Class 6 Card
If anyone has a hint for me, any help is welcome.
could this have something to do with apps2sd... this is happening to me as well, and it only started when i switched from jac 1.4 to the dudes 1.3rc1 it works good for about 24 hours sans the bluetooth issue. then the next time i check the phone its all whacked out and says to reformat the card.
Found this, hope that helps, unfortunately I dont have an external reader here:

Turns out this is no more than an annoyance affecting the 1.5 JF builds. (not sure it's exclusive to those).
Anyway, long story short. The phone will always complain about the partitioning on the sd card and offer to "fix" the problem by re-formatting.
The key to the problem is to reboot the phone after the card has been re-partitioned. This will make the annoying pop-up dissapear and keep the partitioning table as defined.
Blank
Rerun apps to SD, uninstall reinstall all listed apps.
I had had this happen also. But I think most of it was my doing. I have a bad habit of not removing device safely after I copy files, I just use the eject button lol.. my p.c. even told me that I had removed usb device before the files were finshed bing prossed.. well whatever happend it didn't fry my card I just had to reformat it and. Run martins great skrip over agin and it was good to go.. I even went to buy a new usb cable just in case lol .. on hero/rosie running smooth ; )
This may be in the wrong forum so mods please feel free to move it.
I am at work and needed some images from my Nexus's camera that were stored on the microsd card. I didn't have my cable with me so I removed the card from teh phone and inserted it in the card reader port on my laptop to copy the images. When I opened the sd card I noticed that all folders belonging to android were gone. All downloads DCIM everything. Most files that are just on the sd card without a directory are untouched. I put the card back in my phone to check for sure and everything is gone.
I'm currently using a recovery tool to try to get back my images and videos.... Hopefully I don't lose too much.
I have no idea why this would happen. Does anyone have a clue what would cause this? I have never had any trouble using a microsd card from a phone in my computer before.
Any clue how/why this happened and how to prevent it in the future?
Thanks!
Bad dismount. You probably pulled the battery without shutting down the phone first.
Did you try putting it back into the N1 to confirm lost files/folders, before further risk/modification from your computer?

Says so right in his post.
as the title says, i have filled an 8 gig card already and now on a 16 gig and only have 4 gig of that left. i have lots of updates and backups, only 2 roms installed and hardly any music or pics on my card, is this normal?? i have never needed a 16gig before, once we rooted our phone, the files that we used to root, can we remove those from the card or is it necessary to keep them on to stay rooted, i have gotten rid of some bloatware but not all because i dont know exactly what is safe to remove.
Move your back ups to your computer. Get rid of the zip files from your Tom installs because you can just restore through recovery instead of doin a new Tom install

You can delete all the stuff from your sd card with no side effects to your root status,which rom you are in, apps, etc. The only downside would be that you have no data on the sd card.
I have an 8 gig and have never come close to running out of space. I only have the latest roms out, i have no back ups(i am weird and would much rather do a fresh install everytime), and i only back up contacts to the sd card.
Once youre done with root though, you can delete visonary, the root.sh file or whatever, the recovery.img on the sdcard, etc. with no effects.

okay, im such a noob, pls explain to me what you mean by Tom?? im sure its something simple but just dont know sorry
Those backups are over a gb a piece. Don't take long if u keep em all
so the backups from my sd card from rom manager i dont need to keep on sd card, they can be saved on pc? how do i backup then if they are not on the card?
there are tons of apps on my SD card from installs that still sitting there... dont really want to go through the whole card to find it and delete..
so i used clockwork to format the SD card... i noticed the it doesn replace back the stock files that came shipped with the phone..
was this a bad idea?

eh. it depends on your way of looking at it. The only thing on their you may need is the driver for the phone. but that can be downloaded via HTC's WebSite.
