I used to have a 4GB class 6 Micro SD Card. One day my phone crashed and I had to remove the battery in order to reboot. When I reboot, the SD Card is damaged and I had SD-Ext with alot of apps on.
I then got a 2GB class 6 Micro SD Card. Today the same thing happened.
I'm using FroyoByLaszlo 5.2 and I want to know if there's a solution to this problem (as in, stopping the phone from breaking my SD Cards - they must be reformatted before they will work now).
i am not sure if thats a genuine warning.i get it all the time every time i reboot,i just think thats cos i dont have an ext4 partition.all i do is remount the card
Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk
I have Ext4 partition though. And if I attempt to launch an app (they usually have the default app green logo) it says 'Could not launch the requested activity'...
same problem here, with froyobylaszlo, did you find a solution? thanks

did that already, and then after a while the error comes back
it's the rom... you need to reflash it.. i had an issue like that.. dropped my phone and sd card fell out so no matter what i did it wouldn't fix, had to reflash rom..

yep! That is what needs to be done after that.
ok... thank you very much for your help.
I was wondering if the reflashing worked for more people? I reflashed like 3 times now and it still pops up.
Before when I switched my apps to the SD card, they died there and didn't work anymore. Otherwise it was fine (except with that annoying notification that would never leave).
Now I have formatted everything like 4 times and still no luck. This all happened after I got froyo by laszlo.

did you un partition it?
you need to un partition via recovery (set swap and ext values to: 0mb)
then remove from device, insert to pc and re format to FAT32
now do wipe of everything(flash superwipe) re partition your sd card than re flash rom.

I recently made the change from an unknown class 2gb sdcard to a class 6 4gb sdcard and now things are going crazy. Hero has become unbelievably unstable and cyanogenmod boot loops.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
My guess is you failed to transfer over the apps that were on that old sd card (in the ext 2/3 partition) and now the phone can't find them. Either copy over all the data (search the forums to find out how) or do a wipe to make your phone forget about all tthose apps.

i've done several wipes, several reformats of the ext3 and the entire card, i've tried to do nandroid backup restores, nothing is working. :\
Done a full wipe and still issues? Huh. Try removing the card completely and doing a wipe. You shouldnt get any errors not having an SD card. If you do get errors then this might take a while. If you get no errors then your card is somehow screwing things up.
mistaken post. ignore this
so turns out there is something wrong with my sdcard. tried flashing xROM 1.4 at least three times and got boot loops every time, then booted up without the card in and booted up fine.
it also works when i use the switchrom script to restore.
is there anything i can do to make this card usable?
Don't take my word for it, but maybe a format and partition of the card again would probably work.

the thing is, it's not new. i've had it for about 6 months and been using it in my mp3 player. i'm assuming that might be why it's not working. i've unformatted and reformatted the entire card a couple times.
i'm planning on getting an 8gb class 6 card soon, so as of now, i'm using my old 2gb card. but thanks for the help

hey everyone, im not usually quick to ask for help but i am absolutely frustrated and stuck.
trust me ive searched and read everything i need to and its just not working for me
i have a 8gb micro sd class 6 card.... everything was fine and working perfect until i did a nandroid backup
then my card started having errors when repairing ext filesystems
so i put the card in my computer and formatted it.
then i deleted and repartitioned the card
then i did the command in the recovery console to fix the filesystem error
reflashed the radio image
none of that is working for me
i have another 4gb class 4 card and its working perfect for me
but ever since my 8gb did a nandroid backup, the roms wont load at all and i get stuck in a boot loop with the second htc splash screen
PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD!!!! thanks a bunch in advance!!
im using jacxhero v2.1
and i use cyan 1.4 recovery img
After you partition in Recovery, you don't need to fix filesystems... just exit Parted and type upgrade_fs in recovery console to upgrade to ext3.

this is a fault with the rom, the nandroid backup shouldnt cause a bootloop.
did you make sure the partitions are in this order?: FAT32, ext, linux swap?
can you see the card on your pc?
yes i did those 3 in order, ive done it several different times
i make sure that i do the upgrade_fs to convert to ext3
everything goes well when i partition and i can see the sd card in my computer. but for some reason i cant get past the splash screen with this memory card... my other one is working perfect, and so was this one until i did the backup thing
when i flash, it finishes and i reboot and get stuck after the HERO splash screen, the first time it shows the little android guy and then the screen goes black and i see the same spash screen again but with no android
what happens if i repair filesystems after i repartitioned??

it wont hurt to repair it, but it seems that the problem is more likely the hero rom. something is causing the rom to bootloop. did you wipe before you flashed? try that if you havent.
also, set up adb using the stickys in this thread, then use
Code:
adb logcat
when it starts to boot. that way i can see whats happening thats causing it to bootloop
yes i definately wipe before flashing. i still think its the sd card since my other sd card works with the same rom
ill try out the abd thing... ive seen posts about it but never really read into it.
thanks for the advice! ill be right back with the results
right now that i tried again, i cant get passed the tmobile g1 screen... seems to be stuck =[
the card was formatted and partitioned and then i booted (the rom is already flashed on here, i just took out my 4gb card and switched it out for this one so i shouldnt need to reflash should i?
now i deleted all partitions in recovery mode and rebooted....
i got both splash screens hero with android and then the htc splash... now it went to a black screen and has been like this for about 5 or 6 minutes
with my 4gb card it shows the two splash screens and then the black screen comes on for no more than 30 seconds and then the phone loads

well the hero builds put some apps and configuration files on the ext partition. if your 4gb card has those on it, then you probably wont have to.
Can you see the partitions on your computer?
no i dont know how to see partitions on my computer

if your using windows, format the whole card to FAT32 and put it in your card reader to see if it shows up as a removable drive.
what are you using to partition the card? Try flashing another rom that doesnt need extra partitions (such as cyanogen) and see if that rom can see your card as well.
if it doesnt detect it, then your card may have gone bad
=[ looks like i got a bad card....
i appreciate you two helping me out! wish it could have worked... i guess im just gonna pick up a new card
this rom wont even load when i dont have an SD card in it... and when the phone is loaded with my 4gb card, if i take it out, the phone freezes
weird....

like i said, important system files are on the sd card. you cant remove the sd card without crashing it. if you want a rom that you can use without an sd card, use JF or Cyanogen's rom. The hero roms have too much stuff to fit it all in the internal memory of the phone
what are those important files on the sd card?
are you talking about the partitions or something else?
if its something else like hidden files or something, then maybe thats what i need to fix my 8gb

they arent hidden, but thats what i was trying to say. after youve formatted your card, wipe and reflash the update. it will put those files on your card automatically.
they are located on your ext partition.
if you use adb, you can see them in
/system/sd/app_s
to get it to work, put the freshly partitioned sdcard into the phone.
press home+power to get to recovery. wipe the phone. flash the update (jachero2.1)
when it installs, it will find the ext partition and do it manually
Recently i bought an 8gB class 10 sdhc card. Put it in my phone it was working fine. I copied all the files from my old card exacty as they were mounted the card again and the phone says the card is damaged and reboots all the time.
I put it in a friends samsung galaxy3. The card worked fine and all files were there. So obviously it has to do with my phone.
I'm using gingerdx the latest version with stock kernel.
I'd appreciate all the help you could give me guys. Thanks in advance.
try to format your sdcard (backup fist)
don't perform quick format..
still can't try format using phone..
then make a partition..
on developer forum we have a [guide] how to partitionning sd card
Nothing. I tried what you said I even reflashed my rom and worked it with no extra apps but phone still restarts when i try to move an app to the card.
I don't know if it's significant but i noticed that: I went in cwm and tried to mount sd-ext and I always got an error. Tried to format it again error.

do not perform any activity in cwm regarding sdcard it is not compatible,even format sd ext it will give you a result of damage sdcard for some rom or your current,resulting to reformat your sdcard,now backup all your files to pc,reformat your sdcard through your phone,unmount sdcard t then erased sdcard,then back your files...Hope it help...
Go to advanced in cwm and go to fix permissions. See what that does for you.

Guys thanks for all the replies. Nothing seems to be working though, phone keeps rebooting. Might just be a faulty sd card, but that would be the second in the row.
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with CWMR.
I was on Asylum ICS 14 when I bought a new Transcend 32gb class 4 microsd card.
It worked fine for half a day and when I tried using MX video player later that night, the phone had stopped reading the microsd card.No amount of re-inserting the card would help.The card didn't work with my laptop (running Windows 7) and PC (running Linux) either.So I tried wiping data via CWMR but it shows the error--
Wiping data
Wiping cache
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format
Format complete
I checked and the data gets wiped i.e. all the use apps and settings are cleared.
But the error repeats no matter how many times I've tried to wipe.
I tried flashing a stock GB firmware(KL3 to be exact)and I still get the same error.There is no real problem with the wipe,it works just fine.
Thanks guys
And yes, I've changed the microsd card-it's now a Strontium 32 gb class 10 card.
Not my fault really, my dad just went out and bought the Transcend one
Hmm...sorry about that...I didn't think me rating on my own thread would count !
This is common on pretty much every device out there, it's nothing to worry about.

It might be a problem with an update, because I'm suddenly having the same error. I'm about to backup my recovery.tar and try to install an older version. Xperia Play 4g with stock 2.3.3, rooted. I've made backups before, and can't find any info as to what a solution is.
The .android_secure folder is a super hidden folder that contains all data from when you move an app to your sd card.
What might be your problem is that you have two of them. One in internal storage and one on an external sd card. Try taking the external one out and backing your phone up to the internal one.

It happened to me also, try this take out your microsd, do factory reset (only on save kernels), format your microsd
Insert it, boot up your phone.
If I'm not wrong, there was a faulty cwmr , which cause this.
Update your kernel
Maybe your card is faulty.
I recently bought sandisk 32 gb card and put up in my galaxy note. It kept saying no card inserted. Same error on windows 7. And after that i come to know that its a factory fault. Got it replaced from the service center.

Fixed.
Flashed abyss kernel 4.2 and did a fullwipe.
Then went back to ParanoidAndroid.
Dunno what caused it, but I no longer care as its fixed

Any fix? I need that android secure folder
So, I was using a 4gb SD card class 4 and it worked flawlessly, but a few days ago i bought a 32gb class 10 Sandisk SD and it worked just fine for a day, after doing http://acetips.wordpress.com/2011/09/19/how-to-force-install-apps-to-sd-card-without-root/ process. The next day, my cellphone got stuck and it restarted a few times, and every time it turned on it recognized some apps and others not. After that I formatted it from both my cellphone and from my pc and it kept happening. Sometimes, after turning on the cellphone it says the SD is damaged and asks me to reformat it again. I even reverted the process mentioned before and rooted the cellphone, but the SD is still buggy as hell.
Anybody has any idea as to why this might be happening?

You can't force move apps to the SD without root cleanly. You'll get problems. That's the whole point of rooting and what it stands for. If you're still after your warranty, there's an unroot file with the rooting one depending where you got it from. There's a thread here on XDA with both files. Then you can just install your carrier's rom and you're good to go.
You will need root for A2SD, and even then you gotta be careful how you do it. There are some apps and scripts that do better jobs than other ones.

Yes, I reverted the process mentioned before and I rooted my phone and moved apps with Link2SD and the same thing happened. After rebooting my phone once it stopped recognizing some apps randomly (it says the ones that the phone doesn't recognize are not installed). But when I switch to my 4GB SD card it works fine. Then I formatted the card and the phone and tried to make a partition but as you know it didn't work.
Maybe it's a size problem, I don't know. It's not that I need that much space but I will not even think about space with that SD card and also I've already bought it, haha. I'll go to the store where I bought it tomorrow anyway.
Thank you again for your time!

Oh alright. Good thing you solved it. Also, I don't recommend Link2SD as it doesn't free that much space compared to better alternatives like INT2EXT+ or DT's A2SD.

Yes, I know that now. When I change the SD card or find what's the problem I'll start from the beginning and I won't use Link2SD.
what partition type did you put on your sd card? n its possible that the partition is corrupt i had a similar issue not so long back
i formated the whole sd card using minipartion tool then made a 2gd ext4 split works fine now
I followed this tutorial to make the partition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477996 (not sure what type of partition it is). But the SD card had been working bad before I tried to make the partition.
