Hi! My Switch have some trouble when I need to remove and reinsert the SD card, so I was wondering if I can format/flash the image on the SD card using the mount option in TegraRCM. Is it possible? Thanks!
No, I don't think TegraRCM is going to help you at all here. If you need to re-flash the image to your SD card you should just use balenaetcher.
Let me know if I'm not answering your question, I was having a little trouble understanding your OP.

Hey do any of you know how to format an SD Card? I flashed my old rom onto my 2gb sd card and really dont want to let this go to waste. is there a way to reformat this card so that my MDA will recognize it? Thanks in advance for any response.
you can use your pc to reformat a card [if you have a card reader]
or you can use your ppc to do it. resco has a format card thingie. or you can get another app [I use Storage Tools from Softwinter]
Got it. Thanks.
I have a plain "vanilla" version of cupcake and i would like to get rosie, but i have to root my G1. The only problem is when i try to format my SD card, it automatically dismounts, or ejects it from my computer, then i mount it and try it again... and the process continues, so i came here. Anyone had this problem and/or know how to fix it?
yeah thats happening to mine right now too
but my sd card is mucked up i think
Do you have a sdcard reader and an adapter for your micro sd
if so you can plug it in and do the same process plus its more safer to do it that way
no, sadly, I do not have an SD card reader. But I am about to buy an 8GB SDHC card with a reader, so I should be able to root soon .
I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to go through the formatting process and am getting the same issue; the card automatically dismounts when I right click and select Format. I'm trying to downgrade and I found the DREAIMG.nbh file to use but when I try to run it without formatting, it's unsuccessful. Any ideas of what I could try?
Hi - need some help! I have a nook color, and flashed the CM7 (7.0.2) to SD card, using verygreen's instructions. All instalation went OK in NC, but when i put the SD back in the PC to copy the GApps, the PC pops a message saying that I have to format the card to make it usable. Any ideas on how to avoid this, or am i missing something?
u need to partion ext7 of ur sd card...try it through CW....then dl gapps
Hi Kitila thanks for your reply. Could you pls provide some more detail on how to do it? I'm a bit new in all this and am afraid i might mess something up. Thanks!
CM7 on SD Card (Nook Color) - PC asks to format card for GApps
Hi,
I am having this exact same problem. I have tried to search for an answer, but only found this thread. Unfortunately, as a noob, I am also having trouble understanding what the one reply means.
The issue: I am able to put the CM7 on my 16GB sandisk microsd card. I am able to put the nightly on the microsd card. I then can get CM7 to load nicely on my Nook Color. However, when I then remove the sd card from the Nook Color and put it back in the computer in order to install GApps, I get a message telling me that I need to format the SD card. As I understand it, formatting the SD card will erase the CM7.
Can anyone walk me through (or point to a walk though of) a fix for this problem.
Thank you in advance. This is such a valuable resource.
Dan
Try using a USB card reader.
Cheers,
kev

Use of English would be nice!
Thanks much, Kev. Do you think that's it? Weird. I'll need to pick up a USB reader tomorrow. I'll report back.
Thanks!
Dan
Kev,
That worked. Thanks so much!
For those in the future that are having problems with their computer wanting to format the microsd card every time it is inserted, try using a usb microsd card reader instead of the slot in the computer.
Thanks!

Hi there. I'm new here and have been trying to absorb as much info as I can and learn. I've been trying to follow the verygreen guide to create a bootable SD card. However there's a step there that's not working as written.
The guide says to eject the SD card once the generic*.img has been imaged to the SD card and then re-insert it into the computer. The following step is to copy the ROM that I want to use (either the 7.1 beta or nightly). The problem I'm having is that when I go to re-insert the SD card, nothing pops up in My Computer.
Did I do something wrong?
Thanks very much in advance,
fuul4nook
P.S. This is a Kingston 4GB class 4 card that was connected to the PC with a USB adapter.
You may have... I managed to kill one making images and using them in my nook. If you know what drive its going into when you insert it try to format it and start over. If it doesn't format, you're screwed. If it does, just do the whole card image thing over again.
What you can try is pop-it into either your Nook or another Android device and try to format it through there.
I've had many instances where Windows would just not recongnize and SD card and the above at least put it back to its initial state.
Thanks for the responses. I was able to mount the SD card on another computer and on a Linux desktop, but my own refused to bring up the drive letter. I ultimately did as you guys suggested and reformatted the card on a different machine and started over.
Appreciate the help!
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

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.
