hello everyone,
i bought a new 32 gb sd card for my phone, but my phone doesnt recognize it, although my pc does. i formatted it too fat32 and still no luck.
does the gt540 even recognize 32 gb sd cards? and if so how can i make my phone recognize my sd card? its not a hardware problem cause it does recognize my old 4 gb sd card.
i'm running cm 7.2 SDSL by miroslav with the .29 kernel.
never mind guys. it was formatted as read only. which ofcourse wont work. thread can be closed.

i have an hd2 and flashed wm7 to the device insteadof sd card. how do i fix this all help is very appreciated thanks
Are you serious -.-? Windows PHONE 7 can only be installed on the phone (NAND)!!!
am i right in thinking you installed WP7 to the device and your SD card isnt in use?
assumeing you had the SD card plugged in when you installed it then i am affraid your SD card isnt compatible,you will need to try another card, try stick to class 2 or 4 sd cards, unfortunately there isnt a list of working cards because every card is different and may or may not work
if you didnt have the SD card in then thats why the SD card isnt used, it needs to be present when you flash it
finally, if i have got this mixed up and you want to install to only the SD card and not the phone itsself then im sorry but it cant be done yet/ if at all
its true forgot to put in the sd card all together and it flashed to device... it works but no space for anything to save. dont know what to do at the moment. flashed magldr and then ppcboy wm7 like i said works reallly well just cant save anything and access the sd
If you do a hard reset with sd card in the phone should be all set. Wouldn't have to reflash anything. Just make sure sd card is in phone then go to settings,about, and click on reset phone. Should format on first boot and everything should be all set.
Answers my question I've been looking for. If I can flash my other hd2 that the sd card socket is broken with wp7. Already running it on the one I use all the time.
dear all, i already have xperia x8 rooted and installed app2sd with 2 gb default memory card from SE, right now want to change the memory card with 4 Gb Transcend Micro SDHC class 2.
i following procedure to replace the card, include to make partition (3 Gb fat32, and ext2 for rest size), but when i switch on the phone it's freeze at display Sony Erricson, .... anyone can help me to solve the problem.

Does it also freeze on the old SD card and when you boot it without SD card in slot?
Does it also freeze on the old SD card and when you boot it without SD card in slot?
It freeze when i boot without SD card i slot and when i boot with new SD card.
So... if you have xRecovery and you can boot into it - restore the system. If you don't have one - use flashtool or SEUS with repair function. It's a damaged system, and I hardly believe it's because you put another SD card in your device...
Also you can try to format SD card once more on your PC.
tx all.. ..
problem solved !!, i insert new sd flashing the phone with flashtool with X8 generic firmware .. and everything goes to zero again ...
tx for your comment ;p
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.
So about a week ago I downloaded new version of icecream tosti's ICS rom (v0.6) and booted into CWM to mount my sd card and move the zip file over. I noticed that it was taking longer time to move the file than it usually does but I let the process finish. I unmounted the card and went to install the zip from sd card but couldn't find it. I tried to move the file again and again but couldn't get it to copy the file onto the sd card. I tried moving files from the sd card onto the computer but that was not possible either. It wouldn't show me errors and complete the moving process but it actually didn't move anything. I thought there was something wrong with the sd card so I tried formatting it... no success!
I have used easues partition manager, mini tool partition manager, hp sd card utility, panasoic sd card formatter, tried formatting it through windows native options, used disk management, even tried formatting it through CWM but i kept on getting the same error, can't format. I was placing the micro sd card in a usb card reader and sd card reader in order to format it through computer. I have also tried using different computers but that didn't solve the issue. The problem is that every time I try to install a rom it reverts back to an older revision of the rom with old settings that I set before. It seems to me some how the sd card is locked in a previous state and it is write protected and won't let me format it.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve my problem or does this mean the sd card is gone and I have to buy a new one?
I have exactly the same problem after using NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.3. It seems this sd card was frozen, nothing on it can be changed. If I copy a file to it on computer, it shows copy successful, but that file cannot be read, and if refresh it shows nothing have changed in the SD card.
Anyone have any idea about this?
I have three broken micro sd cards now, two from WP7 and this one from ICS.

I waited a couple of weeks for someone to answer on this forum and tried all methods possible to format the sd card or revive it somehow but no luck so just recently purchased a new sandisk class 4 sd card hopefully this one doesn't go bad either. I just wish I knew why it was happening so I don't repeat the process again and end up damaging the card.
Have you tried to format with MAGLDR and after it on windows 7 pc ?
I did that, also followed this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283232
Contents on this sd card just refuse to change.
is there a solution to this coz im having the same problem and cant find a way to fix this
you can do it by this software's :
HDD Low Level Format Tool
MiniTool Partition Wizard
EASEUS Partition Master
Partition Wizard Home Edition
.
.
.
.
but i dont know how create swap and ext4 partitions on sd .
This happen because you formatted the card on the phone. I never recommend to format on the phone the cards but on PC. Try the application I posted on computer with FAT32 in 32768 unit size.
Hi,
I got a Galaxy Y from a friend and I was trying to MOD it. I discovered that the internal SD is not available... and no way to get it back. I tried to wipe data, hard reset, stock firmware upload with ODIN but no way to get the internal SD back. I tried ADB in order to try to push the ZIP files in a ROM folder but of course no permissions as it's not rooted.
So, no way to root my mobile without copying the files to the SD?
Thanks in advance
Joe
I dont know what you mean by internal sd - galaxy y 5360/6102 doesnt have internal sd - it uses a mico sd card to which you will find the slot if you take the cover off and look on the right hand side of the phone
place any files you want on the sd card either via card reader or usb cable
please note that questions should be asked in the question and answer section and NOT the general section

Thanks Marcus,
I did not know the mobile had no internal SD.
That's the kind of information that saves a lots of time and work!
Thanks again.

Ok,
I tried to use a Miscro SD on the GT-S5360 but there was no way to have it acccepted by the phone.
I formatted the Micro SD (Sandisk 2G) in many ways (full formatting) and it was mounted OK with all my other phones (Galaxy S, LG L5II, Huawei) but not for the Galaxy Y. I tried to format the card with the other Samsung too but it did not work..
I've read a lot around about the "blank SD" issue on many mobiles and tried some of the suggested tricks but with no luck.
So, assuming there is no way to have a MicroSD installed on the phone, I resume the original question:
- Is there any way to root the GT-S5630 without an SD card?
Thanks in advance
Joe
well unless your sd card slot is damaged there should be no reason why it shouldnt work
the sd card needs to be formatted in fat32
there best way to do it is to inset your sd card into your phone
goto phone settings
storage
unmount sd card (sd must be unmounted before you can format it)
format sd card
you can also format it via your pc using a card reader as long as its fat32 but its best to format it using the phone or format it again using the phone as sometimes cwm may have problems mounting the sd card if you use something else to format it
You might find universal root tools via google but the quickest most simple way is just to use a root zip file and flash it in recovery or cwm

Thanks Marcus, your replies are very quick .
I tried formatting the SD card FAT32 with different Allocation unit sizes, always full formatting, never quick.
The SD card is recognized as BLANK SD CARD (or unsupported filesystem) when inserted with the phone ON. The same occurs when I switch ON the phone with the SD card alredy inserted. The card is never mounted
The internal formatting functionality of the phone seems to be not working at all. The function FORMAT SD CARD is enabled but when launched it lasts just few seconds and nothing happens (the card is not mounted neither automatically nor by hand).
There could be some compatibility issues between the card and the phone and it could be worth to buy another SD to test the phone card reader again, but I'm not confident it will work.
Phone specs
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband: S5360XXMC2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7

Thanks again

allocation unit size is I think 16 kilobytes but just select default - quick format is fine if the card is not damaged
you can try using mini tool to delete the partition on the sd card and create a new one and format it to fat32
you can then try reformatting it on your phone after
Mini Tool Download

Thanks for your help Marcus,
I tried MiniTool, with both FAT and FAT32 (the card is a 2GB card) but the result is still the same: BLANK SD CARD.
I will try to buy a new one tomorrow and see if it makes any difference...
Thanks again
Joe
Ok I got a new MicroSD today and everything seems to work fine.
Thanks again Marcus.
