I have a Transcend 8gb Class 6 microSDcard.
I turned the phone off to put the card in a card reader to reformat....i noticed that in Paragon Partition Manager 10 Server, that my sdcard is only showing as it being all a ext3 partition.
However windows vista can still read the fat32 partition and so can the g1....I am running JACHero's Roms...I have the new radio/spl and cyno's recovery. My g1 is working fine.
I just want to format the sdcard so i can put a updated JACHero rom on it.
Have you tried using Ubuntu? I find that better than paragon.
heres what i did...and it worked. i got the jailbrake cupcake and put my sd card in a usb sd reader and treated as if the droid was plugged by usb then put the original rom put the sd back in my droid alt s and boom it booted thank god cause i was about to spazz if i had to buy a new phone

ok guys. i am running a rooted g1 with the 2.6.3 hero build. i am running it on the 1 gb sd card that the phone came with. the speed of the build sucks and lags because of the card. i am going to purchase a 4 gb or 8 gb class 6 card today to improve speed and will also get on a newer hero rom. my question is, when i put all the data that is on my old card to my new card will i still be on root, and will i still be on hero? will it be plug and play basically? will i have to reformat to fat32 or will it already be on there? one last thing..how do you partition the sd card? i will need to do this so i can jump to a newer build of the rom..
anything helps.
thanks,
Nick
The rom and root .... is based on the phone it's self, not the SD card.
You are best to install an Ubuntu live cd .... and use G-Parted to partition your SD card.
Serious Answer!
I'm assuming you are already running apps2sd right now. So when you get your new card you will NOT be able to just swap them out. Best thing to do is format your new card (just like other poster said in ubuntu, look in my sig for tut) in 3 partitions fat32, ext3, and linux-swap. Then load up your hero rom on your sd card and flash away. And yea you will still be rooted.
On my computer it's fine. I just want to listen to my music. Damaged or not.
What causes Damaged SD cards?
Try to reformat it and see if it works. There are several things that can cause a card to go bad.
I have and just spent countless hours getting music on the card and I downloaded an .apk when I got error (Installed and worked fine) then just got error.
How to safe me from these from happening again?
All my apps are gone due to app2sd bummer

Just do what you always prolly do. Just make sure to unmount before you disconnect. Sometimes the cards can just go bad. Just make sure to get a name brand card and get a class 6 (you don't have to). It was prolly just a fluke.
Sandisk 8gb class 2 I do unmount error for past 3 months. Know I can't get back my apps2sd to rework after I did a format.
How did you format it? In the phone from UI? If so then it erased your ext partition.
Look in HERE for good guide on how to check what partitions do you have and to format and repartition.
Good luck
If your running swapper, you need to turn it off before mounting. Thats the main cause if its not actually damaged.
I had that happen to me when I tried using Apps 2 SD 2. It said it corrupted my SD, and when ever I tried to unmount from the PC, it would freeze up. I just backed it up, deleted all my partitions, reformated and made new ones. What ever A2SD you're using, make sure you follow tuts correctly.
If you use AppsToSD to partition your card and you get an error saying that your SD card is corrupted or damaged, ignore it. Take out the card, format the Fat32 partition on your PC (a full format, not quick erase). When it's done, both the Fat32 and ext2 partitions will be there. I have experienced that problem several times.
Also, you can do adb to get the files off the ext2 partition before you use the phone to remove the partition and re-format the card.
Well guess what all I did was turn off my phone overnight and charge it. This morning turned back on got the same good message after spending 5 hours putting music onto my card. So this time I am doing a full format of the card and just using fat32 nothing more no apps2sd I think that may be my problem. Cause when using it I don't get the option to safe remove the sd card in SD card settings.
My 2-yr old 8gig Sandisk Class 2 SDHC suddenly went kaput and won't be detected by my Topaz.
This sd card has been previously fat32-formatted and worked for 2 yrs.
Lately, before flashing a cooked ROM, I ran the mtty1.42 if that matters
Now, my phone won't even detect another sdhc (4gig Sandisk, Class 6) which is working fine on my wife's Raphael and/or my PC.
The error message the defunct 8gig SD card gives when connected via card reader to my XP sp2 machine is:
Exception Processing Message c0000013
Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7 c 75b6bf7c

You can't format something that is undetected, right? Any clue, please? Thanks.

Yea that happens my 1yr 8Gb class 6 dies a while ago but that was from my using it for readyboost and eboostr(unrelated).Now i got this 4gb class 2 thats pretty fast If you had swapper then i think the card could be damaged, try formatting that sd card in recovery mode.
there is a way to reformat the card if its not physically damaged but it seems like yours is. I dont rmr the commands to do it in gparted, butits possible
After my first 8GB class 2 card starting playing up i bought a new 8GB class 6 whiched arrived this morning. I placed it into the SD card slot on my laptop and all was fine. I added the ROM's i wanted to flash to the SD and booted into recovery to flash them.
I partitioned both my SD cards using Paragon Partition Manager and now BOTH cards aren't being read by my SD card reader.
When i boot into recovery, then console and ums_enable it says windows needs to format.
When ever i try flashing a ROM i allways get the boot sceen hanging. Does anyone know any solutions onto fixing either one or both cards?
Thanks
try partitioning to fat32 within the phone and then formating using cm 1.4 recovery image
I've just managed to get it working and can get it recognised using ums_enable in console, but still ALL ROM's i install seem to just boot loop

I can't as all the ROM's i install boot loop, including the one i have installed now
I lost my sd card data flashing a rom. Could not mount it even thru recovery. Got a card reader, but it won't format it.
Using Mini Partition Tool to troubleshoot. I am not at a point where it shows three partitions. The main 16gb unallocated, logical. The ext3 unformatted 500mb, primary (think I did that by mistake when trying to recover partition). And a 32mb unallocated, logical. All zero used memory.
I need to get back to one partition allocated, primary. Then I can get sd data back on it and reformat thru recovery.
Again using Mini Partition Wizard
Any help please!
OK,
I got it repartitioned as primary and formatted, bu sd card from pc now.
Hope phone recognizes it.
Will update, if I need further help.

If you want a good program to format your sd card, try SD Formatter.
Download and install that, plug in your sdcard into your sd card reader and format it.
Choose Full Erase On (if possible) and Resize On. It will format your sdcard to factory default and that means even the ext partition will be gone too.
Well, all transferred. Still won't mount. Says can't mount either of the dev/blocks mmcb1k0p1 and mmcb1k0.
Staus bar says sd card damaged.
?????
musashiken,
Thanks, typing while you posted. Based on my last post should I still do that?
Ken
Yeah I think you should try to reformat again with the program I suggested, as that will full format your sd card.
Once done, put your sd card back to the phone and create ext partition in recovery.
At work now but will be working on it.
Thanks
Ken
musashiken,
Thanks, appreciate all your help
That program worked, and I am back up and running
Ken
Glad it worked for you. My sd card kept giving me problems and I have to use this every few rom flashes.
I have a similar problem. I installed a new 32 gb SDHC card in a CDMA Hero running Cryogenmod. All was working well for about 10 days, then I got an error that no SD card was found. I had the original card and tried to get to the Clockwork recovery, no luck. Finally, through Rom manager, (flash alternate recovery to Ramon, then back to Clockwork, I was able to boot into recovery.
I still cannot format the new SDHC card, through Recovery, Windows 7, or the Panasonic program listed above. The Windows format option sees the card as a FAT 121mb card, so does the above program. Is this new card toast? It came with a lifetime warranty from Kingston, but I am mad that it did not make 2 weeks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If sdformatter did not work it may be bad.
I always had good luck with it.
Did you have all options set per instructions?
No matter what SD card I put in my phone, it says there is no SD card installed. I have tried a 2GB and 2 8GB cards. They work fine in the PC... any ideas??
Does Sprint repair phones?
It sounds like there's an issue with your Hero or when you are putting the SD Card in it is not seating correctly.
If you are rooted flash the RUU to go back to stock and take it in to the Sprint store. That's if you're under your 1 year warranty of course.

I had a card that I bought from Costco that did the same thing. I exchanged it and haven't had any problems since.
Sent from my HTC Evo Shift 4G
Try making a back up of the data on your sd then on your phone go into settings and choose SD card and phone storage scroll down to format SDcard when it's done it should recognize it if not then reboot and it should work hope it does good luck
