I have a T-mobile Mytouch 3g rooted and running biffmod, I put in an 8gb sd card and now my home button does not work. If I re install my old 4gb card it works again. Also with my new sd card my phone losses all of my settings and looks like I just installed the biffmod ROM. Even though I transferred everything from my old card to the new one.

Had my HD2 for over a year now and finally got fed up of lack of WinMo apps, which my housemate with his iPhone loved to point out all the time. So I decided to try out Android a few days ago.
Read all tutorials etc and installed Skink's clean desire rom v1.3 using cwm. Got everything set up and was really pleased with my shiny new phone. Everything was working like a dream!
I decided to get a new 16 GB SD card as my 8GB card was full of music etc. Here is where the problems started...
To get all data onto 16GB SD card:
I partitioned it using cwm using same size partition size as on 8GB (1024mb)
Copied all files on 8GB fat32 partition onto 16GB fat32
With the 8GB SD card in the phone did a backup using cwm
Copied backup onto 16GB card inserted it into phone and did a restore
Now the fat32 and ext3 partitions on the 16GB card and 8GB card should be the same, so everything should carry on working fine when i boot up my phone.
It didn't I just kept getting lots of stopped unexpectedly errors until finally everything stopped loading even the home screen, and I'd have to remove battery. However if I just put my old 8GB card in everything worked fine as before
So after much frustation I gave up on this method and decided to just wipe everything on 16GB card and start from scratch:
Formatted 16GB card
Repartitioned it using cwm
wiped data, cache, dalvik cache
installed clean desire rom from sd card
booted up started reinstalling all apps etc
Now here is where things get very strange, I'd start reinstalling apps and reconfiguring to how it was before and then randomly I'll get a stopped unexpectedly error, like process.android.media or something similar. But it seems as if everything would carry on working, then slowly I get more errors until for example as soon as you click on internet you get an error and it closes.
I believe the problem lies with the sd card seeing as that is the only thing that has changed. I also think this rom stores more than just apps on the sd card. Because after I get a few of these stopped unexpectedly errors nothing is saved on the phone. For example I'll change the ringtone from x to y click ok, but when I click back on change ringtone it's still on x. But I can still play music that is stored on the sd card. After I reboot the phone for a while I can make changes and they are persistent but eventually I end up back at this strange state. It's almost as if I can read from the SD card but not write to it.
Another example when I've got to this strange state, I'll add a folder to home screen, add apps into etc. But when I restart the folder has gone.
If I reinsert my 8GB card and do a restore, I get everything back and it works perfectly. But I want to use my 16GB card, that's why I bought it!
My questions are:
Does anybody have an idea of what is going on when it gets into this strange state?
Does anybody know how to fix it?
Is there some way of testing the SD card?
Should my first method of getting all data onto new sd card have worked?
SD Cards are:
Samsung 8GB class 6
Transcend 16GB class 6
Sorry for the long post, any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Hey guys,
I've searched for a while but can't find a solution for my problem..
After flashing XBmod-Yuki rom V 2.00 everything works fine (also with older NoDo-roms) but when I change the region&language settings into something different, there's either a restart loop or a storage card error.
I've tried several ways of flashing, including this way.
My SD card: Transcend 16GB class6. Btw, a 2GB Sandisk works like a charm..
Is there any help out there??
Kind regards...
It could just be the card, SD cards seem to play a huge part of wp7, there are many problems that can crop up, sometimes you might not see them until you fill up the card to a certain level or the moon is full just depends... Not an answer but a possibility

I think I had the same issue today, when I turned it on today, I had a SD Card problem. I pulled out the battery, re booted the phone, arrived in the main menu then.. it freezed! =/. I pulled out the battery, pulled out the SD Card and plugged it again and now it works fine!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Didn't work for me.
Unfortunately, everything's fine after a hardreset but with a reboot (manually or to make an update/flash a cab) there is this storage card error!!
before you do anything after a flash, sync with zune and dump a few hundred meg of music on it, my card is unstable until i do that.
HD2 does not recognize a brand new 8GB Sandisk.
Any help please - my phone does not seem to recognize any SD cards anymore since I installed WM7.
I even bought a brand new 8GB card, and the phone does not recognize it at all.
The 4GB SD card that used to work fine, is also not detected anymore, but that could be due to it being encrypted now _ although I formatted with the Panasonic SD format tool.
I put 4GB of music on it - no (positive) effect...
Hello everybody.
I got a new phone so I switch the 16Gb card that came with the X10 to the new phone and the 4Gb card from the new phone to the X10.
The new phone reads both cards fine, but X10 only reads its original card. However when I enter xRecovery in the x10 I can read both cards with no problems. I have formatted the card and still cannot be read by phone when Im on android.
Both cards are fine, can be read in other phones and in the PC, what could be the problem? the x10 uses wolfbreak's GB rom, the other phone is a Froyo Optimus Black.
Regards, and thanks in advance
Sometimes Android doesn't play well with our SD Cards. As such, Download the SDCard Formatter from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
1. Backup your SD Card
2. Reformat using the formatter
3. Transfer your data back to SD card
4. Enjoy a working SD Card
Let me know if it works.
Hi all,
Last week I tried to upgrade my wife's defy memory card from the 2 GB card that came with the phone to a new Sandisk micro SDHC 4 GB card.
I copied all the data from the phone to a folder on my personal computer, than copied it to the 4 GB card that was mounted on my phone and than replaced the cards.
The phone booted with no problems but short after the main screen was up, the phone got stuck and wouldn't react to anything until all i could do is to take out the battery and boot again.
For now i installed the 2 GB card again and the phone works fine...
Any idea what i did wrong during the process and how i can install the 4 GB card?
Her phone has stock ROM (2.2) and is not rooted.
Thanks...
Have you tried to run without a card? What data do you store on the old card??
Hi, Defy with 2.2 Froyo and Defy+ have problems wiht SDHC cards clas 6 and 10.
Card be come read only. Clik
OK...
So after breaking my head for about a week, here are my conclusions:
First of all, Nikoili, I tried to install a class 4 4GB sandisk SDHC card, so that wasn't the problem. Thanks anyway
Second, tomarsenal, i tried to run the device with no card, it worked with no problems so i understood that there is something in the content on the card that must be getting him all "crazy".
I deleted everything except the camera and music folders and began to play with the device, I saw that some of the predefined settings for some of the apps were gone (GO-Launcher setting for example) but it wasn't a big deal to set it again.
For now, the device is working fine (even quicker IMHO) and it looks that every app that saved some data on the card, had done it again on the new card so no crucial data was lost in the transfer.
Thanks all for your help...
I purchased Wildfire S a few days back. (Android -2.3.3 / Kernel - 2.6.35.10 ). It came with 2GB card. Since I wanted more memory, I purchased 8GB card (Class 4) and tried to insert in the slot. But when I turned on the phone, the card was not accessible. I again re-inserted it, this time, Wildfire informed me that 7.4GB SD card is available. But when I tried to transfer the data from my laptop, all of a sudden message of "SD Card not available" flashed on the screen. I tried re-inserting / rebooting 2 or 3 times but I was unable to use it. When I switched back to the original (2GB) card, it's working perfectly fine.
Am I missing something?
Probably the card is dead. Try it in another phone, or in a card reader, if you have one handy.
If it has warranty, try to get a replacement.
