Have rooted my SGS and Flashed to Froyo (although the external SD card seemed a bit flaky even under Eclair). I'm using a 32Gig SD card of indeterminate heritage.
When I use USB connection, and choose the mass storage option, my PC tells me I can't write anything to the external SD card because it is write protected. I know it isn't as I'm able to write to it with a stand alone card reader/writer, and also able to copy files to it using the Android Manager WiFi app. The only reason I don't just use the WiFi app all the time, is that it seems impossible to copy whole file structures, just files or blocks of files one folder at a time.
Kies is a complete joke, slow as hell, buggy bloat-ware, and only connects to my phone a small percentage of attempts,
I have tried mounting, unmounting, removing, formatting. Has anyone got any ideas what might be the problem?
Oh, I wondered if it might be caused because the SD card is a 'generic' unbranded card of unknown 'class' off a well known auction site. Could it be just that the card is dodgy (I don't have an alternative card to try in it's place)?
Many thanks, Phil
I think my question can be disregarded. Found another thread that says it is the XXJP3 Froyo build that is causing the issue. FWIW I just tried using Kies again, and it corrupted the SD card so now I've got to start from scratch again
Hi guys,
I need some help,
I was trying to change my SD card (16gb) to my HTC 8GB stock one. I copied all files from the 16gb to my pc and then to the 8gb card.
But when running apps on the 8gb they don't open, it gives an error something like "it's not signed or a component is missing"!! It says the same thing for all apps on the SD card.
I installed again the 16gb card and it now gives the same error!
I noticed that there is a folder on the sd card called "Windows Mobile - ActiveSync" with a certificate in it! I don't remember installing any certificate, but I have my exchange account configured on the device.
Do you guys have any clue what could be the problem?
Also in activesync the phone it's not syncing (but it connects) and I can't connect anymore with my exchange account via 3G!
I was noticing in the last days that my data connection (3G) was connecting many times, and I had it in manualy connecting only.
Ps: I was doing a backup of the SD card before testing the android build...
It looks like that I also can't reinstall the apps!
I notice also that some apps I have it on the phone memory and not on the SD card, but neither from SD or phone they run!
The fix seems to be formating the SD card on the phone and not in windows, and then copy the data in to the card.
Hi
until last night whenever I plugged in the O2X to my PC I got 2 different partitions up for the SD card.
today only one SD partition shows up. the other partition, that I used to save music etc. does not.
Android can read it as I can still access my music. But on my PC I cant get it to show up anylonger.
Would anyone know why?

I really disapointed and I dont know whats wrong :/ sorry for my bad english.

If you don't find other solution, put the card in an adaptor and just copy them to the PC.
Have you by chance deleted a folder called external SD from your memory card, coz it formats your sd card. Try recovering files from sd card through connecting it via some other usb card reader.
there are programs, that can save the photos even if you format a disk or in this case a sd card...
let me find one for you,,,, don't know if it works...read in here...
http://www.easeus.com/resource/sd-card-format-recovery.htm.
of course there must be other programs better and free, I really don't know if this easeus is of any good...
never tried...
you must have a sd card reader in your pc of course...
thx guys
i tried to use other adapter and i find no change as i still can not found the sd card via pc.
i sure that i have not delete the file of external SD, it keep showing Blank SD on my 4x.
i am really frustrated about that...:crying:
Maybe sdcard got corrupted. Try formating the card from your phone if it gives you the option. I dont think this will be repeated.
sad..
in fact i dun care about do the sd card can function after all.
i just wonder can i get back my file:crying::crying:

may be your sd card has corrupted or it is fake, how long are you using it?
once i bought a fake 16gb card it worked good for few days and then the same situation as you are in. and i found no solution to recovery my files as it becomes strange, files are there but you can't use them anymore, can't delete them or copy them.
try using some partition manager after inserting your card into your pc and check if your card is there, and it's status.
if your card is fake, i have no solution,
if it's corrupted, it can be brought back to life by formatting or using other partition recovery tools i think.
i dun know whether it is fake or not, but i have used it for around half a year already.
i dun care whether it can come alive i just want to get back my data.
today i have send the sd card to a engineer, he said he fix it but it cost a large amount of money and i am not able to afford it.
and then he recover the sd card to the original situation.
it means that there must be a solution for it.
can anyone help:crying:
i had the same problem too. my 32GB went on and off after i dropped it from 1 meter high.
i used these two recover as much as my files as possible.

but still be prepared to not be able to recover anything at all.
I had my Samsung Galaxy Mini for over a year now and had absolutely no problems what so ever even after rooting it.
Week ago every application I try to install gives the "usb memory not mounted" error, so after searching and trying to solve this problem as it is an internal memory space issue couldn't solve and gave up eventually.
Days after I tried to install another application and it did install successfully, but then I restarted the phone and it was gone along with all pictures I captured at this duration were all gone, so I thought it was a SD card issue and started on trying to figure what was that.
I tried to add, remove files via the PC but after mounting the SD card to the device like there's lock and nothing happened. Tried to format the SD card using the device settings and the PC but still after reconnecting the SD card nothing changed.
Thought perhaps the SD card is broken, so I bought a new one which worked fine before mounting it to the device tried to take a picture and there it was, then I unmounted the SD card and mounted it once more in to the mobile and the picture was gone and the same story happened again. I even tried with another 3 brand new SD card, same story happened.
Please if you know what is that and if there any way to unlock the card tell me what to do.
PS. The microSD adapter isn't locked. And I'm not an android professional I'm a newbie XD
