SD card slot not working whatsoever, HELP!!!

so as my sig says, i have a rooted mt3g 32b, and up to yesterday it was workign perfectly. i was wiping the happyrom .95b to install a themed superE rom. i had phone plugged into usb, had full battery, looked as if it flashed fine.. nothing hung up, none of the normal warning signs. I tried to reboot, and suddenly, it started a SINGLE BOOTLOOP and then booted into the rom. when it loded up, i found the SD card slot wouldnt recognize, and the sim card wasnt recognized either. Spent about an hour trying to do any unix commands enatefox could think of to fix it. ended up having to use part of /data as a symbolically linked "sd card" after i rebooted, was able to use the phone as in the sim card slot worked again, although the SD slot was no more... has anyone had this happen or can anyone think of a fix? if so, gtalk me or email me or pm me.. whatever

thanks,

p.s.
Card is not fried, im using it in my new mt3gs and shes working perfectly

I hate to say it but it sounds like a hardware failure to me... With any software bug... a complete wipe followed by stable rom fixes everything.
Good luck.

dammit>.< i need a fix of some sort.. gotta be a fix somewhere

it seems its only a half ass problem... i downloaded the sapphimg.nbh to the sd card through my mt slide, transferred cards to the mytouch, went into hboot, it loaded up the image, and unrooted me fine... so the issue seems almost like firmware? i could be wrong, but i think the firmware is half assing the sd card slot

Nobody's going to email you. You ask here, you'll be answered here. If you don't like that, your problem.

No... really? You thought the card might be fried?
Lets see... you install a new haxored system image, and stuff doesn't work. What conclusion can you come up with from this? That whatever you did broke the phone! You either screwed up the install, or the system image you chose to install is a piece of garbage that doesn't work!

HELP!!!

Hi All, I have just got a t-mobile G1, I cant get it to connect to the pc. I have tried everything. The only way i've found is to use the sdcard on my pc & place it back on the phone. When I mount the sdcard on the phone the pc doesn't reconize it. I want to be able to try new roms and themes. Any help?
Thanks

I had the same problem before. It turned out that it was a bad sd card. It would read fine in a card reader but not in my phone. I just ended up buying a name brand sd card and it's worked fine since then.

Are you sure its not an issue of the usb drivers?

Maybe if you posted your problem in your thread title people would try to help
more... just saying...

[Q] So my G1 can't recognize my SD card anymore, how can I run anything now?

I have gone to the Captivate and left my g1 sitting for a few months. Now I want to hand the G1 down to a friend, but I can't get the phone the recognize the sd card, in regular mode or recovery mode. Anyone know a way I can debug and flash a rome kinda like the ODIN program for my Captivate? The rom I have last on it was a beta with no soft keyboard...

you wont be able to use your phone without sd.
you can add a softkeyboard via adb.
flashing roms is not possible wo sd card afaik. maybe im wrong but i dont think so.
try another sdcard

I was able to install a soft keyboard, thanks for the advice! New sd card didn't work, but anyone know if this sd error may be a simple hardware fix

External SD not recognised on galaxy s?

Hey all, my 16gb sandisk sd card isn't being recognised anymore, anyone know why?
It says it read the SD card, and it got to 100% complete, yet my apps dont load to the menu list anymore :/
Help please
Also, when I try and boot up either Launcher7 or Twlauncher the phone restarts on me..
It's not rooted, its not a custom rom, just froyo 2.2.1 :/

does windows recognise it ?
if so, move all files to PC, put SD card back in phone and try to format, if you cant format it under windows and try again

ok i connected it to my pc, copied everything over, then i formatted the card (fat32) and yet it still doesnt want to read it.
ive tried all i can do and yet nothing works. my card is 100% authentic so i know that isnt the problem, yet nothing else is fixing it

thats strange. if you was on a custom rom / kernel there are things we could do to get it working.... but your not lol.
under settings, have you tried to unmount / mount ??
does anything pop up in the notification bar when you insert / remove external sd ?

really? what custom roms? i moved from 2.2 to darkys 9.5 within a week, but then went to 2.2.1 for warranty reasons.
ive tried unmounting and remounting, just like inserting it, restarting the phone etc., all it says is media scan running, gets to 100%, media scan complete.
it says i have 8.56gb of 14.2gb free which is normal, and all the files come up on the computer, but in my menu they arent there, just a bunch of empty spaces.
no matter how long i leave it running nothing gets recognised

that is weird
have you tried a factory reset, i dont know any other options.
you havent downloaded any apps that could of caused this recently have you ?

no i haven't tried a factory reset yet just cause i don't want to lose all my apps. i had 10 pages of apps and id rather not want to reinstall 8 of the missing pages, but if i cant fix it ill go into download mode soon and perform a factory reset, if that doesn't work i'm gonna exchange the card for a new one.
i'm 100% certain that no apps caused this. i haven't installed anything new for about a week. just turned the phone off then back on and now its broken.
thanks for your help, ill let you know how i go

Yea keep me informed. Have u got any backup apps that you could try and see if they backup the "missing " apps

i think my phone is the problem. i've just tried using a new sd card and that one is also not being read
ill try a factory reset later, and then if that fails ill try new firmware to see how that goes.

Just finished flashing froyo 2.2, then 2.2.1 and neither worked.
how do i go abouts fixing this with a custom rom?

i think the problem lies with the hardware not the software.
like you said earlier you tried another sd card and that didnt work either.
the options in a custom rom are just manually mounting / unmounting and fixing permissions in recovery, but i dont think this will help.
your on stock ROM now so i would just go to your nearest SSC and tell them to fix it under warranty

thanks for helping me man
ill be taking it in soon as a repair, however, my friend said it couldve happened cause my battery went to 0% and the phone just shut of and broke something, is that true? i'm not sure cause I can still access the card by pc.

[Q] N1 wont read sd card some one please help

Hello everyone, i just got the nexus one just to mess around with, its already rooted but no rom installed. My problem is that when I put my SD card in the phone and boot up the phone I get the message "SD card blank or has unsupported file system". I know theres threads on the topic but they seem not to work, I've also reformatted thesd card and nothing. Its a 32gb
Not sure of the brand, ill look and post it.

Try using a program like sdformatter and did you format to FAT32?
Try a different sd card to see if maybe it's the card itself that's bad

Yeah I tried sdformatter, yeah I tried formatting to Fat32, no the SD isn't bad,the computer recognizes it. Idk what's wrong

with sdformatter did you use full erase and size adjustment ON
i am not sure but a card may be able to be recognized and still can't be formatted or may be bad--again, not sure

Yeah I tried full erase but not with size adjustment on though, ill give it a try though. I know the SD card isnt bad because after trying to have the nexus read it, and I get the blank SD card error, I plug it into my computer and it will automatically ask me if I want to format the SD card because its corrupt, after I select yes the computer reads it just fine. I think it just might be the phone itself, I've tried countless solutions people have posted in other threads, and the phone is what, about 2 years old, it just might be slowly dying

understand--good luck

Does N1 support 32 gb cards?

The N1 does support 32gb SD cards, I've gotten lucky and it read it, but after booting the phone up again I got the same message in the status bar, I think the problem might be with the rom on phone I don't know what rom its running but it looks like its a completely stock rom, or it could be the way the way the person rooted the phone, and I don't have a clue on how to unroot the phone. Yes I know its rooted I'm able to get superuser permissions.

you didn't say, unless i missed it, did you try another card
if so, and it is rooted can you tell what recovery is on phone clockwork or amonra

Sorry about that, yeah I tried and still am trying a 4gb SD card, I didn't root the phone, but when I got the memory card to work I flashed clockworkmod, I was going to reboot into recovey but when I pressed powered button I could only power off the phone, so I did and was going to boot into recovery through hboot, but when I selected recovery it just showed the picture of the android with the black background, so I rebooted the phone and kept on getting the error message, idk what I did to get the phone to read the SD card, I guess just luck.

Do you have the android sdk installed on pc do fastboot flash amonra 2.2.1 or maybe clockwork has that option. If it it the first time you may need to delete a couple files to have amonra stick. Clockwork 3+ did have some issues for some. Or you can check wiki and flash the correct passimg and go back to stock and start over. If you have means back up what you can. Not sure of your problem--sorry

Well it looks like the N1 is done, it won't even boot any more, looks like I'll be phone less for a while...the problem wasn't because it was rooted, I got it unrooted back on 2.2.1 then it updated to 2.3.? And it still had the sd card problem, I guess it was a sign that the phone was dying...r.i.p. n1 lol

Thank you ruggmankc for trying to help save my n1

sorry to hear that--
bright side is great phones are coming out this year and N1's can be bought at good prices if interested
