[Q] SD Flashed itself?
OK so, not quite sure what happened with my SD card today but it pretty much flashed itself and gone done broken the format for my apps2sd.
I was heavily using my phone today for gps and what not by driving around from garage sale to garbage sale with my ole lady. anyways, i noticed that my ringtones werent the same at about half way through, but i didnt think anything of it and kept on going. i got home later, still was doing it, so i went to terminal:
su
reboot
rebooted. when it came up it said my card was damaged and cant be used......is there anyway way to restore it or recover information off it?
edit: yes i still have root. no the card isnt readable in windows but my mac ID's it but cant do anythign with it.
Well i really don't know how or when this happened but my phone now says "Damaged SD card" under my notifications and i can't access my card anymore. I have tried pulling it out and putting it back in, resetting my phone, and mounting to my computer but it never reads. I know formatting the card would restore it but i don't want to lose my pictures, music, and files that i had stored on it. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem and knows how to solve it... Thanks!!
I used the Haret and Android thing once and then shut down the phone, i turned it back on and i think (not 100% sure) there was a message about some application not being trusted etc. I didnt take notice and then attempted to flash my phone to 6.5. I took out the mem card, sim battery as instructed. The software in the Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom wouldnt run (certificate, trusted error etc.) and then after putting back in sim card and microsd, not even haret or alot of other application would work, what happened and how do i fix this?
Can anyone help me?
BUMP again, i know this is from like 6 months ago but i really want to flash my phone again xD. Almost no applications work now = S. Anybody know a solution?
Hi, I recently flashed my phone to cyanogens 3.6.8.1 all was well until yesterday when the phone screen displayed vertical lines like a grey color, the phone could receive calls but from t mobile customer service and it was booting up tho I couldn't see the screen. Then I took the sim card out and the screen returned to normal but was stuck in the splash screen. I reflashed and sometime the next day it happened again, this time I took out the sim card and it went back to normal
Any ideas

Could you post a log of this? Could you also provide some more details about your set-up (a2sd? swap? comcache? spl/recovery?) and how did you get to this point (did you wipe before flash? did you run any back-up apps, what were you doing when it happened?)
Once we have that info we should be able to figure it out.
I started out with th jesus freak rom then I decieded to flash the cyanogens 3.6.8.1, I had trouble with the market because I hadn't wiped first, I did that and all was well for at least 5 days. I created an ext2 partition for apps2sd but I'm not sure if that worked. Then on the Saturday 6 days later I put fotmob on my phone so I could keep an eye on the opening premiership season put the phone in my pocket whilst at the football and 2 hours later the phone screen was dead, nobody could call me tho I know the phone was operating and booting only t mobile manage to get through, I tried a reboot, then took the sim card out and the screen went back to normal but was stuck on the splash screen. I tried fixing file ext but came as error asomething about the super block being unreadable tried manually but didn't work, tried backup still stuck, reflashed worked fine for. 20 hours then it happened again this time I wasn't doing anything with the phone no programs other than the usual running in the background, this time I removed the sim card and the phone went back to normal again for about 4 hours then it happened again this time removing the sim didn't work.straight away but eventually it came good again.
Its now 11 15 and its running fine again. I have noticed that I now only have one ringtone (dream theme) and one notification tone and I'm getting a few force closes tho I not sure what they are I will report them if and when I see them
you need to get audio resources and unzip to the sd card all the ringers. search xda for audio resources
The screen went dead again at 3pm this time after removing the sim card it stayed the same it was only after leaving the battery off it returned to normal again about 10 minutes later, I am also getting a vending core force close from time to time, please someone help me solve this issue.
P.s I've never actually seen the phone do this it happens when it is in my pocket when I get it out it happens also this time I have not installed any software and it is still happening

Because you lost your ringtones, it sounds like your SD card is acting funny, I would format it using this guide (make only 2 partitions for the time being, fat32 and ext3).
See if that works...May be complete reflash with wipe wouldn't be a bad idea neither.
That's all I can suggest at this point, I'll need to see a log to be anymore specific, but try this out, sounds like you've got nothing to loose
Good luck.
Thanks for your reply I am very greatful, I have tried a different sd card without setting up partitions and it still happens. I think the latter is true and a complete reflash is definately the thing to do.
I think this may be a hardware issue because as I mentioned it only happens when it has been in my pocket for a while, perhaps it is overheating or something.
I'll try a complete reflash and let you know if it happens again.
Wipe, re-flash, reformat your sd (or take it out altogether, just to rule it out see what happens... This is all I can tell you....
good luck
OK so ive had my G1 got 7 months or something like that and I rooted it a number on months ago and began flashing different roms, Ive never really had any problems with that at all but now after flashing KiNgxKxlick-AOSP2.1-v1.5 my phone went all haywire. I know you do all ov this at your own risk and i was and am aware ov that. so once i rebooted my phone it kept freezing, so naturally i rebooted in recovery with the latest version ov amen-RA and I went to wipe and the first one was ok, then the dalvic/cashe wouldnt work, said to fix in consol, i tried the next options in this menu and none ov them involving the sdcard worked. so i went to flash another rom and all ov a sudden it started saying "Can't mount SDCARD" So I used a card reader to format the card like i have done before and again it would not work on the phone but worked fine on all my computers. i tries this with a number ov sdcards and no luck. so as a last ditch effort i followed the unlockr and tried to unroot the phone, i thought it worked. G1 sign came up, old android logo came up and it loaded just fine, but as things never go as planned is boots up saying no sim card emergence calls only. Now i am officially out ov ideas. I love my G1 and the fact you can do whatever you want to it and that it had a qwerty keyboard and not all touch screen. I need to find out if i can fix this or if i have to get a new phone, the problem is i dont really like any ov the other phones out now. but ill take any and all advice i can. thank you for your time.
Really strange issue which started shortly after the phone got updated it suddenly didn't recognised my MicroSD card. Did all the usual trying the card in another device to make sure it was working then tried a different MicroSD card in the S10 and it didn't detect it either. Restarted the phone and it didn't read the card still. As I'm just about to call to get a replacement the phone suddenly detects the card and it was normal again so I just shrugged and carried on as you do.
Fast forward to today as I'm coming home and listening to some music on the underground the phone decided to throw it's toys out the pram again. It just won't read the MicroSD card. Got on the blower to get a replacement sent. All arranged after a bit of back and forth about trying all sorts including "formatting the card" despite the phone not detecting any card. :laugh: Anyway I hang up & the little son of a gun starts working literally seconds after. Too late Holmes, you're getting picked up in the morning.
