Mini Sd Slot, problems

hi.
1st post and a tricky problem i can't overcome. i have a g4 wizard, and have done the hard spl thing so its 2.**,**.oilp (*=wildcards, cant remember number)
And Also flashed FariaWM6 on to the phone. the sd card slot used to work, but when i first recived the phone i pressed reset to manufactur defaults (o2 software) and inserted the 1gb sd card out of my mobile(as the previous owner wanted to keep thier mini sd card). it never worked. i have formatted the minisd in FAT, and FAT32, but it is still not recognised by the phone. in the about area of the phone it does say expansion slot is in use (regaurdless of sd in or absent) when i insert the sd card the light comes on (saying to me that it still knows something ) but its not avaliable via PC, Or the phone. yet works fine in my mobile(6280) still.
i have tried numerous tools on the phone for formatting the card, or just plain reading it. today i am going to collect the original SD card that came with the phone ( the only card to my knowlage that has worked)
The card i am trying to use is a sandisk 1gb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, i have searched but cant find any posts with similar problems, so sorry if i annoy anyone by creating new.
any more info needed let me know, but i think i have almost covered everything.

Anybody?
Hellooo??? Boost!!!
70 views, could someone at least post back and tell me its f*cked if it is. i have run out of idweas, and if no one else got any then please let me know so i can stop fiddling with this problem. many thanks

Hi friend,
I'm having the exact same problem with my kaiser. Mine does change to expansion slot not in use when I remove the card however. I really need to get this fixed so I can take more media with me! Will some guru please let us know if a new rom might solve the problem or if there's a way to confirm a hardware problem?
Thanks!

Noob Question - Don't flame, Just looking for help.. - sd card troubles

Hi,
I've had an att fuze for a long while and the flashing is wayyyy different on that thing.
I've read all the FAQ stuff out there but can't get anything to work.
I already bought 2 micro sd cards.
I downgraded the RC to 29, and then it erased my data on the original 1GB card. I forgot to make a backup on accident.
I went to the thread that taught me how to get the hero ROSIE rom on the phone, and it said I needed 2 sd cards. Now, I went to buy a new SD card.
So the original card is blank, and the new card is blank, when I plug it into the phone, windows does not recognize it, nor does the phone.
If I boot up the phone with the old card inside of it, that starts up fine, but it is completely blank.
SO i'm kind of stuck at the part where you need to format the sd card, I have 2 micro sd cards that are blank, and windows cannot recognize them.
Any help to get me up and running would be greatly appreciated.

So you're pretty much starting from a clean slate then? I think your next step is to first format one of the sd cards with ext2. So you're going to have to find the articles here on how to do it. I recommend going the route of using a linux portable cd like GPARTED to make the partition on the SD Card.
After you do that, copy the extracted app_s to the ext2 partition using the directions provided. Pretty much.. go from there with the nice articles we have.
I honestly didn't use two SDCards. I used adb to put the new update.zip containing the hero rom and just reflashed.

HMMM
i am so damn lost right now... a linux live cd? you can't do this from a windows vista pc?

In the future please search, and post in the correct thread/forum. Thank you.

I'm pretty much trying to follow the directions perfectly to get this ROSIE UI on the phone, but the problem is i've read all the tutorials, but the phone cannot recognize my sd cards, and windows can't recognize it at all.
So i can't really do any steps because the phone isnt recognizing anything, i've tried windows, and a couple of other programs to get the card formatted, but no luck.

Sorry mod. i'm pretty active on the other phone communities on this forum, but am having a real hard problem with the g1. This post was my last resort. I've read a lot of FAQ's tutorials, instructions etc... i'm jsut kind of stuck thats why i'm making this new thread.

G1 Not Getting Along With SD

Well im trying to get back on the "ROOT" wagon but its like "something" is trying to stop me from doing so.
I've rooted once before but reverted back to Google ROM(stock). Idk if that matters considering I hav had my phone working fine ever since i reverted back about 2 weeks ago.
So yeah when i mount my phone via usb to my computer its detects it and all
but when i try and reformat it to FAT32, to put the Dreaming file on the root
its disconnects it by itself. and then when i put anything sucssesfully on the card and insert it to my phone(My G1 formats the card, leaving it blank)
So im wondering is it a phone problem or sd
Ive tried diffrent cards. One works but is not big enough to hold my info
Oh and i tried using a sdcard reader and it can format it but
once again my phone formats it
So any input, anyone

Have you tried a different SD card, or try the SD card in a different phone/card reader?

What rom are you on? This was a issue awhile back people were having. I can't remember what the exact problem was. Kinda like to say it had something to do with the kernel.

i edited my post to try and be more clear

window formatter causes the same thing with my phone but if you format through the phone it makes a fat32 partition try just formatting the card thru the phone then connecting the card to your pc dump dreaimg on your card and flash that way do not format with windows

still it doesnt work
i think the 1.5 cupcake
hides the DREAIMG.nbh
cuz when i try to flash back 2 RC29
with the bootloader thing
it says no image file

let me ask is the dreaimg still in the zip?

no im not retarded
lol
ive done this before
but the problem is( i think)
my g1 is hiding the DREAIMG.nbh???
because cupcake is on it
but then again anything you put on this card gets erased by my phone regardless of file type(Music, Photos, etc..)
and i dont want to use my 1gb micro cuz its too small
you think i should just buy a new sdhc card

you mean that, your sd card has some data (images/music/etc) and you cant see them ON THE PHONE? Mounting the SD card should be a good idea but its just to simple to be an error. maybe giving more deatils could help...

As I said before, I can see no pictures on the SD card now.I tried several data recovery program, but did not succeed.

Mmm it seems like your sd card is broken, can you see any other files in it? Because it happened to me with a 2008 4GB SD card that had just a few months ago, it simply stopped working and that's it... But if in your case your sd card WORKS then ive got no idea how to restore data. Anyway I dont find it quite possible if it was erased, then for me its gone forever (except for the recycle bin maybe)
a PRO is needed.. lol

can see other files that I need some pictures, but I can not see in pictures.Do not have a way to it?

Not really idk ANYTHING in this matter, i'm sorry bcz I know why they break, but your case is different. So, you got some pics which were stored in you SD card and somehow got deleted and now you cannot see them in the phone nor the pc. I'm going to search for your problem from friday onwards, not so much time to help you now, sorry, I'll come back as soon as possible

Use SDCARD to USB Adapter then. You can backup all the SDCARD files to your computer
Then reboot to recovery mode, try to wipe all data

solved. [Q] URGENT!! SD card suddenly erased everything on its own.

My sd card just formatted itself.
Last thing i remembered is that my musics in my sd card, my phone couldnt read it. so i took it out. put it back in the phone, bam the entire sd card got erased.
is there anyway to get those things back? more importantly my photos

Try some free data recovery software. Google it, and use a card reader on your PC to help, but it does not look good.

Thanks for your reply.
Ive actually did that and got trolled by this program. After scanning all the files, it asked me to purchase the program in order to get the files back. I got fed up and reformatted the sd card and start from scratch.
Right now I'm facing one issue. After putting stuff back into the sd card, I unplugged it and the sd card un mounted itself. I pulled it out and plug it back in with restart and all and the phone still cant read it.
Is it the sd card problem or my phone?
Or what else should I do?
Thanks on advance.

There are plenty of good free ones that dont do that, however, if you have now formatted the card all the information is lost.
Which format did you format it too? Make sure its FAT or EXT2, 3 or 4. The best bet is to format it in recovery.

I knew it would be a problem if I reformat it, but I was really fed up certain programs like those. I didn't want to waste time so I chose to reformat it.
My first attempt with FAT didn't work, and tried the others as well.
This morning I reformatted and stick it into the phone and erased every thing on the sd through the phone again. And now it seems to work fine.
Somehow the first few tries the phone reformatted the sd even when I did it through the computer already.
Anyway, thanks alot buddy
