Today, many hours ago, i wanted to install the
[ROM][22/1/12][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.35 Kernel]
I came from the
[ROM][15/01/2012][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.32 Kernel]
So first changed my CWM into version ClockworkMod [v5.5.0.4]
I first pasted the new rom on my U8800 (previous versions i also had the network problems so needed latest version) SD card, then did the new CWM install and after this i lost all sound and mic...
I tryed to install the new ROM but still the network problem...
So i did my back-up but again no sound/mic/vibrate working...
After this i wanted to put an older rom or maybe CWM back on my SD card but now the SD can't be written on...
What can i do now...
Someone plz help me... Now my phone doesn't have network or any sound, vibrate also isn't working...
Best regards VdBRoald
Try to update from internal sd?
Also, the newer MIUI requires you to install official 2.3.5 before you install it. The newer has different kernel .35 that is required for all functions to work. (Batterystat , network, wlan, etc.)

thx for reply,
The inside memory is to small for installing a ROM and atm i only have the Build-in SD card, the one that is now write protected for a reason...
Because i came from another rom i think it isn't needed for first upgrading my standard version into 2.3.5...?
Best regards
Trust me, it is needed. .35 roms don't work unless you have first installed official 2.3.5.
Buy sdcard and try to install from there.
Try to mound/unmoung sd in cwm and try to install then.

Try first to mount sd card on pc and check it for errors with windows check disk app. I don' t think that the card is damaged. Then you need to put dload folder from 2.3.5 official rom package(instructions are on package' s pdf file) and flash it from bootloader by pressing vol+,vol-,power when device is off.
The SD card isn't damaged , just is write protected now...
Tryed to mount/unmount in CWM but gives an error (because of problem mensioned i think...)
I can buy a new one but i hope it doesn't reaches that point... :x
Put the card in a card reader and mount it on pc. I don' t think that you have problems then.
It is a build-in SD card so i can't reach it... :'(
edit:Just wanted to dl the official 2.3.5 release from Huawei.
But all sites seems to have deleted the file...
Do you have 5.5.0.4 recovery? I had same problem with that.
Try to change your recovery to Genokolars 5.0.2.7 or the official 5.0.2.6 one.
Firstly, you should've updated your base ROM to B522, then flash MIUI. The problem for your case is that the new kernel does not work with the old base.
Here's what you should do:
Flash B522.
Flash CWM.
Flash MIUI.
How can i do this without an sd card that can be written ons?
I Will do this after i found the solution for the SD card problem, then i can copy new files on it...
PS: factory reset also doesn't work because off problems
You change the recovery in PINK SCREEN not in internal sd card.
Change the recovery, then youll be able to access sd, at least I did.

Use another phone or, even a camera. Insert the micro SD to that, connect to USB, make folder dload on the card, copy the update.app into there and do the steps I wrote before.
All already thx for the comments, i just got a new sd card, for the low cost of 8euro i don't bother for more trouble handling with that. So now i'am trying to do everything with my new card.
It was a hard start because it wasn't working well in beginning, i put the files off the first step true pc (in SD holder) and is now installing the new firmware... let's hope that all the rest will go a bit easyer
Thx a lot to all the replyers and specially to Blefish!
Everything is working perfect now!
The only thing i now have to do is search for some nice ring and message tones
Finally i can call and be called again

Hello ! Yesterday I installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13782793&highlight=microsd#post13782793 on my SGS, and I have a big problem ! I can not acces my external microsd card. What I should do ?
I am using same rom and I am able to access it.
Just take out sd card, switchoff, take out battery insert sd card again,and battery
Reboot.
That should work, if not
Install newer version 1.6.10

Is not working at all(reboot=not, update=nothing changed)... When i connect the cellphone to pc I see only the phone storage and the sdcard storage not.. I do not know what to do
Same problem. Card is readable on PC. Won't read in MIUI anymore. Even formatting the card won't help. External_SD-map is already there but none of the files on the ExtSD are there.
I'm guessing you came from a gingerbread rom and didn't flash the froyo bootloaders. Alternatively, look under sdcard/external_sd

+1 you need froyo bootloader. I had the same issue. Resolved by flashing froyo and reinstalling MIUI.

I installed this ROM but there are a lot of bugs, camera stop working after you take picture, the music player need to be refreshed every time, ringtone changer problem etc etc... It's a beautiful ROM but with those bugs isn't worth..
I've had this problem too. I've resolved it installing a Froyo Stock rom with odin and after making exactly this like is in the Miui thread:
0: Be sure that you're based on a Froyo FW! CRUCIAL.
1: Load these files:
a) galaxy-efsbackup.zip / Mirror
b) cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar / Mirror
c) MIUI MCGv5.3 / Mirror
d) speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar / Mirror
(thanks to creative59 for mirrors!)
2: Copy all files except:
speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar & cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar
3: Flash speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar via Odin, wait for reboot and after that shutdown
4: Start via 3-button-combo in recovery mode and install galaxys-efsbackup.zip
5: Pull out battery and in again, start via 3-button-combo via download mode and flash cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar via Odin BUT DON'T check repartition and auto reboot
6: Pull out the USB cable and start (in download mode) with 3-button-combo in recovery mode (waiting until samsung logo appears)
7: Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, cache
8: Flash MIUI MCGv5.3.

Note thar I don't have the SD card inserted on the phone during this procedure. I've put the SD card after the first boot (with Miui rom) on the phone and reboot the SGS to work. And to work you will need a folder called "external_sd" (without "") on the SGS internal SD. Make shure that you have this folder when you insert the external SD card.
I encountered this problem too, I had froyo before miui. Used miui a while, suddenly external sd didn't work. I tried everything. Managed to fix it this way:
1. Make sure external_sd folder is on sdcard, if not, make one and name it that.
2. Take out sd card
3. Shut it off
4. Battery out (I tried without taking the battery out, doesn't work, take it out)
5. While battery is out, put ext sd in
6. Turn it on
Probably it will work, if not, do it again, and instead of step 6, boot into recovery.
Format system and cache. Reflash whichever rom you were on. If this didn't work, and you really were on froyo before flashing, well, the sd might be broken, your card reader in the phone might be broken, or you might need to double check the froyo base you used.
when I connect the phone with pc,the pc dosen't recognise the sd card, do you have any solution for this, guys ?
sdcard is there but does not work
Oops, double post... sorry
sdcard is there but does not work
I can access my ext sdcard via file explorer but it says that it's not supported by a2sd+ I got the same problem with Cyanogen mod. I came from froyo 2.2.1 flashed clockworkmod 2 then installed 2.2 version of miui after that I flashed 3.0. So I guess I did nothing wrong. I followed the instructions on the miui website.
Can't find a single solution that fixes my problem. Every attempt ( also those here ) did not work so far. Also if I install an app it forecloses on opening. Maybe this has something to do with a2sd not working properly. for instance I can't install whatsapp it forecloses after I put in my phone number and screenname.
Hi......with a file explorer create a folder in: mnt/sdcard/external_sd
create another folder in: /sdcard/external_sd
reboot and miui see the Ext SD in file explorer but A2SD don't work for it
for any issues contact [email protected]
I have just flashed official 2.3.5 v518 but I can no longer write to my SD card.
I can read all existing files off it no problems.
If I try to write anything (take a photo, create new file with file explorer etc) it appears to work, but after a restart (or unmount / remount sd card) the files are gone.
I remember something about official updates corrupting SD cards but cannot find anything
do you have sd adabter ? maybe you locked it
I tried an adapter but my laptop didn't recognise it

I think the card is fried. Time for a new one. Happened to me twice.
I can read files off the card but cannot write/format it.
I tried everything - SD format program, Linux format. Nothing worked.
Sent from my U8800 using Tapatalk
the card is working as it should be, its just write protected! i can read and get files from it, i just cant write into it. So in short its not fried at all
same thing here
I have the cm-7-20120711-UNOFFICIAL-u8800 on it now
With the old froyo kernel .32 it had no probs writing to it
But now i cannot write to it
When i take out the MicroSD and put it into a adapter it works right away !
So something has to be locked inside the software ( just don't know what )
Ok lets start from the beginning:
I was trying to upade from 2.2.2 official to 2.3 official and now i'm messed up because after the step : "upgrade sd card" my phone restarted and my usb cabel was still on and phone started charging,after that i tried to turn on my phone.It worked but after 20secs my screens freezes and cant do anything even turn off i need to take battery out,also phone not detects my sim card...
Any idea? My phone is rooted,have installed CWM5.0.2.3,but have no backup only public one...But i can't mount usb storage because i get error like "E:Unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)
ANY IDEAS????
I can get to pinkscreen aswell
If you have an external sd card put the public backup there and try to restore via cwm (if you get boot till there). You can also try the update procedure(the dload folder and stuff) but put them in the external sd card! The phone should boot from there.
Anyway,better wait for more answers since I'm not the best in here.I just know how to flash some custom roms.

sorry for dumb question but microsd = external sd? if yes - then i placed the backup in the card but in cwm only phone memory shows no sdcard...
Edit: external i got that
well it actually is an external microsd card
did you manage to restore via cwm?
P.S. if cwm doesn't see your se card go to advaced->reboot into recovery
should be able to see it now

When i do "reboot into recovery" my phone double restarts and 2nd time it turns on normally not into recovery...
Don't know why this is done,but I think we should be happy that your phone isn't bricked
Maybe someone else here can help you and provide better solutions than mine
Have a read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639761.
Has a link in it to how I solved my issue of constant reboots.
Also , since you can load pink screen, you can connect through usb and change your recovery to 5.0.2.7. That's the one i used. Make sure that you have a cust.img file in the "image" folder. That is where the recovery should be too but am guessing you already know that.
If for some reason you dont have cust.img you can find and download a generic version in these forums. Did not need it so I did not bookmark the post I found it in but I think it was the Kalo's Honor Port thread in the pro development section.
Hi All!
I am a great fan of this forum, Android and my GT540.
I first rooted my phone when is had 2.1, then shifted to the LeWa custom roms and then after the recent update to Miroslav_mm's Project IceScreamSwift I "bit" the bullet and installed this ROM.
Miroslav is an absolute genius, this ICS 4.0.4 ROM is so smooth. I used a 256 MB swap file on my class 4 micro sd and overclocked to 825 Mhz and this thing flys :laugh: I can't believe this GT540 can keep up with the industry's best. The only down side is the 3" screen Thanks Miro!!! Great work.
Anyway, back to my topic. Sadly my SD card reader is not working. I have read on the net that this is a common problem. I wonder whether the swap file had anything to do with it or was it the latest ROM I installed? I'm just wonder whether anybody else had the same problem and is the situation recoverable?
I am going to try and test the card on by PC using and adapter to see if the card is actually gone but I firmly believe it is the reader on the phone since it is not registering or giving any errors. When I tried to mount using the recovery menu it stated no such file or directory.
I read one guy stating that his reader started to work again after some time pasted for no apparent reason. I hope mine does the same
I look forward to your comments. Thanks!

I had kind of a same issue, i was using Miros 4.0 ICS ROM, but went back to SDSL 2.1, i had partitioned my sd card before to have native swap of 256 mb, when i tried to flash SDSL 2.1 by Recovery, it would flash it and all, but it wouldnt install it correctly, every time i tried to reboot the ROM, i got stock on Silver SDSL logo, then i would go back to recovery to try and flash it again, and recovery wouldnt read my sd, i would say E:/ is bad, so i thought i might have been my sd card reader, after flashing by fastboot, there was no problem with my sd card, i was able to use it normally, then i tried to flash it again by recovery but same problem, recovery wouldnt read my sd card, i tried using another SD card and it worked on recovery, so i think something happen to my other SD card when i went back from Miros ICS to SDSL 2.1, the card works correctly but i cant flash any rom using recovery with that SD card.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I will give it a try and let the community know if its :good: for me too.
Bad news people. The above didn't work for me. I tried several different ROMs (including flashing the standard ROM) but no luck.
The SD card reader seems to be "dead". The funny thing was that when the SD card disappeared after a few days use of Miros latest ICS ROM (June.2012) it was still working very smoothly despite the lack of the 256MB swap file and SD card. Ofcourse many of the installed apps disppeared too. Now that my sd card doesn't work I can't go back to the ICS ROM since it is only available in "recovery" form. Does anyone know if a "fastboot" form exists?
Now that I have lost the SD card feature I will not be able to use the phone anywhere near its full potential. Very sad indeed. Time for a new phone
Unless anybody else has a solution for the above......the moral of the story is be very careful with ROMs and SD card usage as pointed out by our esteemed developers.
Just for reference only, my last setup when the SD reader was working was (2 GB SD) partitioned as follows:
partition 1: data 1.5 GB
partition 2: ext4 0.25GB for Link2SD
partition 3: swap 0.25GB
Hm you already tried to clean the SD ston on your phone ? maybe it just bacame dirty with the time.
Thanks for the comment andreas! but could you please explain the meaning of "SD ston"?
If you mean the pins in the reader, they appear to be clean.

oops slot of course yeah okay
Just and update for those interested.
I finally got my hands on an external card reader and discovered my 2 gb card is actually dead. I remember taking a about 30 photos that day when it had the newly installed Miro's ICS and noticed it locked several times. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Anyway, my PC did not recognize the card had been inserted so I couldn't reformat/revive it.
I tried to insert a new 4 gb card into my phone today again (previous attempts failed) but before doing so I carefully bent the connectors in the card reader slightly outward, inserted the card, jammed a piece of paper under the clip (so it would press down and make good contact) and believe it or not it read the card I have since installed "AOKP 4.0.4 ASIS b40" and loven' it.
I have many problems with my two month old defy plus..some problems are really strange and i cant really understand if its a problem with the phone or the sd card...
i am gonna explain all of them.
1. SD card problem..the sd card causes a lot of problem ..the most affected application is swiftkey..after days of working correctly..suddenly a message pops out unable to load language packs..and the keyboard becomes unusable.on unmounting and mounting the sd card..the problem sumtyms goes..sometimes not.
2.applications go missing on their own.
3. transferring files via bluetooth is very very hard...only zip files can be transferred..and sometimes when the transfer fails..the phone has to be rebooted to start transferring again..or sd card has to unmounted and remounted
4.on switching on the phone error messages comes such as " unparseable date"..
5n deleting any folder from the mem card via file explorer..the swiftkey keyboard failes showing messages like unable to load languagepacks or failed to store dyanamic language
6 droid sail frequently fails to move apps to sd card..although my phone is rooted..error messages such as no root no usb debugging is shown..although both of them are on
7:sms back up software not working..it shows write access denied..
8 titanium pro cant be installed.it shows that memory is not available although i have 1 gb of free internal memory
and my last question..will CM9 solve these problems??????
please reply
Please inform your ROM, it may help us identify your problem.
But seems to me that your SD Card is corrupted, try inserting it on a computer and formatting it (backup your stuff first).

You could check sdcard for errors in Windows (right click on sdcard drive letter & select check for errors) . Windows will correct it automatically. This way u won't loose any data on your sdcard. Don't forget to unplug it safely in windows afterwards, otherwise it may become corrupted again.

yes i am having a lot of problems with the stock firmware...i have a question from you..can u transfer apk files directly from your laptop to your mobile via bluetooth or do you have to zip it first???in my mobile only zip files can be send via bluetooth..nothing else is accepted.
Did you find a fix about sd card problem? I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596997 but i don't know if the fix works with GB kernels. I have a 2.3.4 stock rom, and i can't write on my sdcard, i can only read it.
Do you have a high class card?
are you using a 32 gb card if yes downgrade to a lower capacity,
or you can try a class 10 card if u r using a class 4 card
or u can use ur large capacity card latter on if u upgrade ur defy plus, say after ur warranty is complete
i am not suggesting trying a new rom because ur defy is just 2 months old and gingerbread is not outdated al the apps come for it
