Guys help me please. I partition my sd card. few months ago. last night i formatted my SD card. after that. SD card can't mount. please help me. what to do ? also my computer can't read it please help me how to fix it . thanks in advanced.
first backup any data you have on your sd card
remove all partitions with minitool and create a new partition of fat32 and format it with minitool
next boot up your phone with the sd card in
goto
settings
storage
unmount sd card
erase/format sd card
now go into cwm - you sd card will now be mountable
for the 2nd partition create it in cwm
cant remember exactly where the option is from memory but its under something like partitions
just create a 2nd partition of 1024mb with 0 swap
you can then copy any backups back to sd card

if you are unable to read your sd card via a card reader on a pc (not via phone usb cable) in order to delete partitions and recreate them, its best you get a new sd card

My computer also once was not able to read my sd card but minitool partition wizard detected it.... What i did then was that i deleted all the partitions and created a new one with
Label--Android-SD
Type - Primary
File type -- Fat32
After i did this .. My phone and computer both read the sd card...
Hope this helps for u too..
Press thanx if it helps you

I think that's not the problem, i use a MP3 player with USB
If you plug your sdcard on linux-based using anything it should be /dev/sdc
Do a dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/[your user]/Desktop/sdcard.img
After that install WinImage http://www.winimage.com/
Open the img with winimage it will tell you where to connect,
choose first primary fat32 partition open menu -> extract all with subdirectories, :good:

Ah, C'mon, please search the forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
grab the partition manager from there and repartition your sd card and you are back to bussines.
this will work
download Attach Files and this should work then right click on card and format again fat 32 quick plz give me thank this will work
Also, you can format your sd card from android itself. Go to settings, unmount your sd card and format it. Easiest way.
If you have a custom rom you can format the partitions from the recovery menu too
im really confused so i want to unmount it plug in the usb and use window formatter to reformat is?
I have the Optimus V and the 2GB micro SD that came with it. I want to swap to a new 8GB micro SD so that I can put more music on it. I've got a bunch of apps on the card (more than the internal memory can hold) in an ext3 partition using Link2SD. I'm running the 8/10 build of pure IHO/CM7.1 RC.
I think I can do it this way but I wanted to get some confirmation:
1.) Boot into recovery
2.) Make a backup (which I can confirm does back up the ext3 partition)
3.) Swap cards and partition the new SD card using recovery
4.) Copy all files from the old SD card's FAT32 partition to the new SD card's FAT32 partition using my SD reader on my PC
5.) Put the new card in the phone, boot to recovery, and restore
I think that'll put everything back where it belongs, but I would just like someone to confirm that for me. Thanks!
Should work. Would personally use gparted or similar to clone and resize the SD card partitions on PC.
Oh, yeah, gparted. I forgot i could get a livecd for that.
Question, though - if I use gparted to clone, I need to have both cards installed at the same time, right? I only have one SD/microSD reader (it has both slots but I can only use one slot or the other at a time, so I can't use one card in a micro-to-SD adapter). Can I use USB storage for one card and the reader for the other?
Never tried this. I have tons of SD card -> USB adapters around.

How do i delete my sd card partition and the swap partition?
Go to recovery then in recovery go to mounts and storage then go to format sd ext also another is to unmount the sd card and then format but all your sd card data will go so I highly suggest you back it up.

Easiest for me is partitioning on a computer with cardreader. Here you can see what you are doing. But you need Linux. This can be a live-CD for example Knoppix.

Thats one way, 2nd method is use minitool partition in your laptop or computer, 3rd method if you want to format entire SD card to its original state is, go to settings, SD Card settings > unmount SD Card > format SD Card.
As above, i partitioned my SD card in the past, and now im changing my SD card.
IS there a way to get all my apps from my old SD card to my new SD card?
Thanks!

i following this instruction while doing my transfer
--First make a nandroid backup of ur rom with old sdcard inserted.
--Then insert new sdcard and partition it .
--Then copy the clockworkmod folder on the root of old sdcard to the root of new sdcard.
--Then with new sdcard inserted go to recovery and restore the nandroid backup. That's all for restoring the sd-ext apps.
(Note: U can also use advanced backup of recent CWM recoveries to backup the sd-ext alone.)
Another way is install A2SD GUI from market and move all sd-ext apps to phone. Then partition new sdcard and move apps to sd-ext. This wont work if there are lot of apps.
And u can transfer the fat partition files from one card to another using windows pc. Doing so should also restore the .android_secure folder apps.

Remember you cant access your ext partition form windows( inless you enable support for linux partitions dome how. Dont know if some thing like that exist). So try working with linux to access all partitions, copy every thing, pattition your new sd then copy back contents of ext and fat, as it was in old card
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Softwares like "linux-reader" can give u access to ext partitions on windows.
But I think u need to mount sd-ext from recovery. Since normal USB mounting as disk drive from android os will not mount sd-ext.

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

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.

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
