Help please...problems with my 8gb internal micro sd card - Streak 5 General

Hello all, i'm new and noob in the android OS and tablets and stuff, so i'l need a little help from you if you would like...i've got a dell streak 5 and somehow i managed to open it and mount an internal micro sd card 8GB class 10 and i installed a android 2.2 on it with the fast boot and qdl tool. now when i try to install some apps i always receive the following msg: sorry, there's not enough space to install this item. i have a 6.4 gb of free space so...what's the problem here? it is not formatted ? and if is not how should i do this?
please help

try to unmount the external sd and try again

U need to research which card are compatible with the streak... I think it only recognizes 2 or 4gb idr
But anywho, you can't just throw in a big card without even seeing if it'll work first..

That's not true. I have an 8gb card on mine class 4 and works good.

I did it and worked. Obviously the internal card is just for apps... is he intents to use it as media, he has to make the hack on the link

well, thanks for your help, but i recall i'm a noob and i'm going to remain a noob until i can understand you language. do stuff like linux hack os not so simple for me. yes, i can do it with a proper tutorial or so...so, if you already did this, please take me step by step like a tutorial.
i'll really appreciate your help

If you want the internal SD for apps, but open it, change you internal SD, and make a factory reset (NOT from the custom recovery, use the Dell screen).
Or do you mean to open your Dell?

You didn't format it before inserting the new card? The internal sd should be ext3 like this:
Code:
/dev/block/innersd0p5 /cache ext3 rw,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
/dev/block/innersd0p6 /data ext3 rw,nosuid,nodiratime,errors=continue,commit=99999,data=writeback 0 0
I don't know how you could install the rom without having acorrect partition type on your sd card, though. Check to see using 'adb shell mount' on your PC. To format the sd card, you'd need a program like parted.
Hope it didn't misunderstand your problem.

yes, i installed android 2.2 without formatting the micro-sd card. if i'm correct, you'll need ext3 partition for the apps, not for the os. or it's done auto when i did this with the qdltool software.
i'll try something else and i'll post the result here

WP7 ate away my SD CARD!

So I tried using WP7 On hd2.
But I didn't like it as much as Android. So I reverted back to android. But guess what I only have 200mb on SD Card instead of 16gb. (I should have expected this I suppose)
Can anyone tell me how to restore my SD Card to 16gb? I am sure there are others who are curious as well.
Thanks
Try formatting the card, windows, winmo or android, try em, it might work.
Get an adapter, shove it in a camera and format it
cos wp7 creates an unknown format partition. use a partitioning program, see if you can delete the partitions (there will be two, one 200meg fat and one unknown format) then reset a new FAT32 partition for the full size.
Be careful in disk management, delete from the wrong disk and its hello to up-all-night-reinstalling-your-PC, hehe.
I've used geparted live cd...worked fine. You have to delete partition and re- format as any filesystem you want.

Why's that? Because you didnt even bother to read the read me files like a tard??
Use some common sense ffs, Read info before doing anything like this.
It CLEARY states that WP7 creates partitions on your card and anybody with half a brain would know to re-format card after using a different OS especially one that creates partitions.

While I agree that the OP is at fault for clearly not reading anything and just flashing (I read instructions and used a different SD card when I tried WP7 - it was VERY clear!!!), I don't see why you feel the need to be so offensive to him. That's just plain out of order man. Stop just dissing people. If you don't have anything constructive to say then just don't say anything.
This is a friendly forum. Be friendly.

Feel better about yourself after that?
Yup, I should have read about this before flashing but I had fun for a while and went back to Duttys Rom. However, I have 14gb of files and music on the card and a 200mb fat partition. Is there any way of at least retrieving the pictures and music before I reformat? Windows can only see the 200mb. Disk management shows the two partitions but won't let me delete the 200mb partition. Any suggestions?
I hope this guy doesn't treat his kids like that...."hey retard, go clean your room! It's the only way you'll learn"
The internet gives some people license to be morons unfortunately.
To the OP, I hope you get that fixed. If you find a way to fix it let us know which way worked for you in case we have to do the same thing to. I have a few SD cards but I don't want any of them to be rendered useless.
try using minitools partition wizard (home edition). delete both partitions so that each partition is displayed as a whole unpartitioned space and create a PRIMARY partition using fat32. your data was deleted when windows phone 7 was setting up for the first time. luckily i used another card but good luck
if you go bk to android leave a bit of space after when doing the primary fat32 and create a ext2 partition. its in the file system tab in the create partition bit

how about using usb storage in wp7 to transfer the files?

it wipes the card n formats it when win phone 7 first boots up.
Thanks everyone for their input. I managed to restore my SD Card. I am a happy android user. From my experience, I think android is far more stable than WP7. Android offers more versatility and customization. Again thanks.
Theres a fix for that just search
I couldn't find a way of saving the data so I lost it. Popping it in a camera formatted it perfectly. Won't be running wp7 again. Looks nice but too much hassle to get calendars etc.
To format the sd... put in the camera (mine for example is a nikon) and format it..
For me works well.
But I have another problem: in WP7 I have only some MB free.. so.. I can put in music if I have that little space?
My sd is 8GB...

Well so far I haven't been able to figure out the usb data storage method for wp7 if one even exists... so the only way you can put music and photos and other files onto wp7 is through zune.. if you try usb mass storage in magldr you will only see 200mb but through zune you can transfer files to your 8gb sd card capacity.

to restore back yours 16 Gb, you must reformat your SD with SDformater Windows application.

That is the problem. When I try to transfer just only a song Zune tells me that there is no enough space for the tranfer.

I had the same problem...
What you need to do is:
In Zune, go to 'Settings'. Then click on 'Phone'. Next, click on 'Reserved Space'.
Make the reserved space about 10%. This should give you about 6.5 Gb on an 8 Gig SD card. It also gives WP7 a bit of 'extra memory' to work with.
For a first release, this is an awesome piece of work. A few things don't work, but on the whole I'm impressed. I'm going to test it for a month to see how it performs.
The main functions work - Phone, text, e-mail, music, video. And nearly all of it is automatically set up. Correctly too.
Worked for me. Plenty of room for syncing via Zune.
Enjoy.......

Partition Problem - Android and WP7

Hi,
I'm using wp7 now for more than 2 months and i am quite happy. i can do everything i want to. but now i wanted to install android, so that i can dual boot both of them.
as i have only one 16gb sd card i followed the steps mentioned in the 3rd method, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 .
But Partition Wizard Home Edition only shows one partition of 200 mb. now i cant really delete the bigger one and create a new one.
maybe you can tell me what i am doing wrong and find a solution. furthermore i am not sure about the right android version i have to use, because i don't know the meaning of nand, sd , magldr...can i use this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970542 ?
Hi bluffmaster26,
On my notebook card reader i also can't see partitions on my 16gb sd card. But everything is ok when i use external USB card reader. Try with such card reader.
did u try it on a different computer?sometimes windows 7 gets messed up?
if that doesnt work,try to post your mini partition screenshot,
i have a 16 gb sd card as well. working gr8
(dont forget to thanks the developers )

200 MB on SD card?

Can some one tell me what happened? I've installed android to nand memory and now my sd card only shows 200 mg of space, I took some pictures and now is full, where did my 16gb go? Can someone help me find a solution? Thank you for your help.
No one knows, since you provide 0 information. You can also just check it yourself by examining your sd card in your pc.

thanks for nothing....here is the information, installed android on HD2 on nand memory like the instructions here now it shows 200mb, can someone really help me find out where the rest of the gb went?
can you link the instructions you followed to install nand? also did you partition your sd card correctly? you can double check to see how your sd card is partitioned by using this free program. if i had to take a guess it would seem you have partitioned your sd card backwards but there is little info to go by so its really a stab in the dark.
had wp7 installed before? wp7 formats all your sd card to some weird wp7 only format, leaving just 200gb as normal, readable space.

Do you know how to fix it?
format your sd card with panasonic sd formatter in your pc.'cause i had the same thing before, and solved this way.
i would backup your sd card to your computer and then once you have backed it up format it with what ever partition manager you like. i personally use minitool 6 which i posted on post 4. then place a fresh copy of android on your sd and flash as normal. dont forget to wipe date/cache/delvic. i cant say for sure if this would fix the problem but i have noticed this simple process fix some of the problems i've had in the past.

[Q] Partitioning issues.

Hello, I need some help with partitioning my Micro SD card. It is an 8GB class 6, and I know the basics, but that is it. What I really need to know is HOW to partition my SD card and what the hell 'EXT2/3/4' is all about. Now, I have had different suggestions as to what to do, I have to disc all ready with Gparted installed, and I am ready to use it, yet I have been told by some members of XDA the partitioning isn't even a requirement for ROMs. Is this true? I have a Euro HD2, and recently when trying to partition my SD card through Clockwork Mod (CLK) my SD card's memory dropped from 8GB to around 6.5GB. I have tried formatting it as I always do, but nothing seems to come of it. Anyway, what I would like to know is how and why I need to partition, especially EXT2/3/4 as this particular partition has come up on most ROMs I wish to install.
I hope someone can shine some light on this issue.
Thanks in advance -- Joe
(PS - I will click thanks for anyone who gives useful information)

First thing
Closckwork Mod is NOT CLK, they are different
if your memorcy card dropped from 8GB to 6.5~ , then your partioning was succesfull , what you cant see is the EXT partion that only android can see,
Go ahead and flash a EXT supported ROM , have fun

Sorry, I didn't realise they were different (CLK - Clockwork Mod) But if you say that the partitioning worked, then does that mean I have done all of the partitions, or just one?
You just need one partition not many ... so I guess you can find out by trying an ext supported ROM... try coredroid 1.6

Bad internal SD card, I need help to replace it :)

Hello all, I need your help. I'm using dell Streak 5. The phone factory resets by itself, I know that the problem is bad internal SD card, I have some skills for opening phones, and replacing internal parts, so this is no problem for me, but still I need your help. I have several questions:
-Can I put micro SD 2GB or 4GB(I know this is maximum, do not want to edit system files tu accept bigger card) Class 4?....becorse I live in small country, I can't find SD card's with bigger class.
-Which class is the original internal SD card from 2GB?
-And the must imortant question, after replacing the new and formated(in FAT32 I thing) micro SD card need something special to do, or just need to do factory resset and wait for the phone to create partitions on the micro sd card? I am asking this question because my phone is running on latest official Froyo ROM 2.2.2. Is it necessary to instal custom rom, or I can be able to change the inner SD card running on official Froyo, with only factory resset? The data on internal sd card is not important to me, I do not need a back up, I just want my phone to accept the new card, becorse I spent 400 euros for my beloved phone. Thank you very much!
You need to search. This has been covered.
I will tell you that the internal sd card is not formatted fat32 as it is used in the phone.

Ok Thank you, I will replace my new internal sd card without formatting. I was searching everywhere and can't find someone that was replacing internal sd card on phone running on official 2.2.2 Froyo :S. I was found that on Streak with StreakDroid 1.9 Custom RoM is only necessary to do factory resset after replacing the new sd. I don't know if this procedure 'll work on my Streak with Official 2.2.2 ROM. So, can someone ansver me? Thanks .
Maybe Marvin02 or TheManii or someone more knowledgeable can step in but as long as you use a 2GB card, you'll be good with the stock ROM.
BUT this is the part Im not sure of, if you swap out for a 4GB card, then you do need to have installed StreakMod and StreakDroid, this is from personal experience. I changed mine out and had StreakDroid 1.9.0 installed. When I powered the phone up, it did all the work, I just had to wait.
Not sure if the same is true using a 4GB or larger card with stock ROM or any of the other custom ROMs

Hi, I've replaced my original internal 2GB microSD class 2 to 4GB class 10 without any problem (i think Dell Streak will accept any class).
* Download 'QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500' and unzip to folder on desktop (google 'QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500').
* Power Dell Streak on the first time with inserted 4GB internal microsd card and wait until auto format is done and display error message come on.
* Power off Dell Streak by remove the battery and re-insert it back after 5 seconds.
* Plug-in USB Data cable into your computer
* Press and hold the volume up button then insert Data cable into the Dell Streak.
* Goto your QDLTool3rd folder on your desktop and execute QDLTool.exe file and select RUN option (should you get driver error then Google search, install and start again).
* On completion your Dell streak will boot into android 2.2 with old Baseband.
From here you can update latest Baseband and flash Steven 1.9 or 1.91 or in my case Simple Streak 1.3 Beta4.
Should you require help PM me. Also check out my previous post for photo of my Dell streak with inserted 4GB microSD, working.

This mean that original internal sd card is only class2?.....I will change it with another 2GB Class 4 micro sd card. So I must run qdl tool?....is it possible to brick my Streak with this software? Thank you very much, if I need help I 'll PM you my friend. Thanks a lot.
This is the problem with not searching for and reading the existing threads on this topic. You are getting replies from just one or two people and not the benefit of previous longer discussions.
Here are some links:
Hardware Hacking the Streak – thread at MoDaCo, main focus is replacing the internal SD Card with a faster, larger card
How-to Increase streak storage up to 62 GB – an extension/continuation of the hardware hacking thread at MoDaCo

While I have not done this replacement I would not recommend using the QDLTool as a first attempt.

Yes, the internal 2GB microSD is class 2 (mine is anyway). I can only tell you that I've ran QDLTool many times over and not yet does my Dell Streak Brick beyond repair (IMO, it's very hard to brick the Dell Streak unless it's hardware damaged). I've messed up my Dell Streak many times, including no power dead, no fast boot, no recovery and no response at all to any button being pressed, and so I though until I was able to recovered using QDLTool and fixed it every time.
FYi, I've removed 4GB microSD card from my Dell Streak and re-inserted the original 2GB microSd back and the Dell Streak boot up fine.
Please understand that this is my past experienced and results, in no way am I saying that the same result will be for your device.
I share my experience 2 days ago, I changed my internal microSD to a Kingston class 10 8GB card, the smallest I can find.
I did a full nandroid backup before removing anything.
Change the cards, power up and 2 partitions are automatically created, mounted at /cache and /data.
Boot to recovery and restored nandroid backup, all is well running Steve's rom 1.91.
I have a similar problem with my streak that I have just got, that it is stuck at the dell logo. When I try to run an update or factory reset it only goes half way through, and says error with e: cache.
I have done qdl but this doesn't work, tried different updates, roms etc with no success. I went onto the fastboot menu and did the engineering codes which seemed to imply a internal memory card fault.
So, my question is, if I replace the internal SD card, will this solve the problem?
I have searched various threads but cannot seem to see the correct solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

My friend be strong and take a leap of faith. Since there is no available answer to your problem and your Dell is not working anyway, why not replace your internal microSD and then follow the method in my previous post and see (start with a 2GB or 4GB first).

I think that if you replace the internal sd card it going to solve your problem. I'm still reading for this problem on Streak, and this seems to be a common problem for Streaks . Please find on google how to dissasamble your Streak is not hard, but be careful there is flax cable under tach panel! My Streak now is working fine after Factoruy ressets and clearing dalve catches on internal sd card.....so I do not know what to do now to change the card or not....

Ok Thank you, I will replace my new internal sd card without formatting. I was searching everywhere and can't find someone that was replacing internal sd card on phone running on official 2.2.2 Froyo :S. I was found that on Streak with StreakDroid 1.9 Custom RoM is only necessary to do factory resset after replacing the new sd. I don't know if this procedure 'll work on my Streak with Official 2.2.2 ROM. So, can someone ansver me? Thanks .

Only with factory resset, without nandroyd or QDL Tool?

Yes, factory reset. Didnt tried nandroid, but I read that it can be done.
Just remember to wait like 5 minutes for the first run!
So far I have been lucky fixing my memory cards with Ubuntu.You can install it along with windows or inside windows.I always have a computer with both OS's.

I have a similar problem with my streak that I have just got, that it is stuck at the dell logo. When I try to run an update or factory reset it only goes half way through, and says error with e: cache.
I have done qdl but this doesn't work, tried different updates, roms etc with no success. I went onto the fastboot menu and did the engineering codes which seemed to imply a internal memory card fault.
So, my question is, if I replace the internal SD card, will this solve the problem?
I have searched various threads but cannot seem to see the correct solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

When you used qdl tool....are you sure you had the update.pkg and the matching bb ams file in the same folder as qdl....and the same update.pkg on your sd card.....and no other update.pkg or mbss bb in the folder/sd card except one set

I am not an expert on the QDLTool but looking at the version that was available as 'repairtool' on StreakDroid there is no update.pkg in the zip file for that. I am no expert and have only used the versions of qdltool available from StreakDroid.
Also there is a thread in the dev section that indicates that the qdltool is married to a specific set of files unless you modify the code directly. This would mean to me that unless you make modifications to the code any files that did not come with the version of the tool you are using will not be used. Whether having additional files on the sd card or in the folder on your computer where qdltool resides will cause an issue I do not know.
im not an expert in the qdl either....but i remember when i first used it i had to download the update.pkg separetly and put it on sd card....i put a copy in the qdl folder along with the amss/bb file;this was back when the 305 rom came out,so from what i figuered,was the qdl tool is just pushing a factory restore...thats complete(not like just running a fr from streakdroid).....but it uses what ever update.pkg that you put on it.....it doesnt have a built in rom
