hey guys i just updated to CM 4.0.3.1 and it automatically installed move cache to sd, i also accidently installed teds hero theme, not knowing it wasnt ready for 4.0.3 yet, but now my phone cant read my sd card, therefore i cant mount/unmount it , could this be from the "move cache to sd" app? any help is appreciated, thanks guys!
Did you have your card partitioned with ext2/ext3/ext4? If you didn't then apps2sd won't work. And you can always mount your sd card thru adb.

Just partition your sd card with your fat32, ext2/ext3/ext4 (I would do ext3), and linux-swap then reflash the rom.
i dont know how, and my sd card doesnt even show up on my phone at all
btw im using my 1gb card that came with my phone

Do you have a card reader?
nope im suggesting my card is toasted or i have to do a wipe?
try booting into recovery, drop into the recovery console and type
ums_enable while your phone is plugged up to your computer. if that works, when you are done type ums_disable. that should allow you to mount your card in recovery
either way, i still dont know how to partition my car....i just want to be able to get it to be read so i can reflash my rom and go back to normal
which recovery image do you have?

we all had to start somewhere
do you have adb? if so just type adb shell reboot recovery
if not, then while stuck at the android screen press send, menu and call to reboot then hold home to boot into recovery.
once in recovery, does it have a picture of a green android, or what is the background of?

hey everyone, im not usually quick to ask for help but i am absolutely frustrated and stuck.
trust me ive searched and read everything i need to and its just not working for me
i have a 8gb micro sd class 6 card.... everything was fine and working perfect until i did a nandroid backup
then my card started having errors when repairing ext filesystems
so i put the card in my computer and formatted it.
then i deleted and repartitioned the card
then i did the command in the recovery console to fix the filesystem error
reflashed the radio image
none of that is working for me
i have another 4gb class 4 card and its working perfect for me
but ever since my 8gb did a nandroid backup, the roms wont load at all and i get stuck in a boot loop with the second htc splash screen
PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME MAD!!!! thanks a bunch in advance!!
im using jacxhero v2.1
and i use cyan 1.4 recovery img
After you partition in Recovery, you don't need to fix filesystems... just exit Parted and type upgrade_fs in recovery console to upgrade to ext3.

this is a fault with the rom, the nandroid backup shouldnt cause a bootloop.
did you make sure the partitions are in this order?: FAT32, ext, linux swap?
can you see the card on your pc?
yes i did those 3 in order, ive done it several different times
i make sure that i do the upgrade_fs to convert to ext3
everything goes well when i partition and i can see the sd card in my computer. but for some reason i cant get past the splash screen with this memory card... my other one is working perfect, and so was this one until i did the backup thing
when i flash, it finishes and i reboot and get stuck after the HERO splash screen, the first time it shows the little android guy and then the screen goes black and i see the same spash screen again but with no android
what happens if i repair filesystems after i repartitioned??

it wont hurt to repair it, but it seems that the problem is more likely the hero rom. something is causing the rom to bootloop. did you wipe before you flashed? try that if you havent.
also, set up adb using the stickys in this thread, then use
Code:
adb logcat
when it starts to boot. that way i can see whats happening thats causing it to bootloop
yes i definately wipe before flashing. i still think its the sd card since my other sd card works with the same rom
ill try out the abd thing... ive seen posts about it but never really read into it.
thanks for the advice! ill be right back with the results
right now that i tried again, i cant get passed the tmobile g1 screen... seems to be stuck =[
the card was formatted and partitioned and then i booted (the rom is already flashed on here, i just took out my 4gb card and switched it out for this one so i shouldnt need to reflash should i?
now i deleted all partitions in recovery mode and rebooted....
i got both splash screens hero with android and then the htc splash... now it went to a black screen and has been like this for about 5 or 6 minutes
with my 4gb card it shows the two splash screens and then the black screen comes on for no more than 30 seconds and then the phone loads

well the hero builds put some apps and configuration files on the ext partition. if your 4gb card has those on it, then you probably wont have to.
Can you see the partitions on your computer?
no i dont know how to see partitions on my computer

if your using windows, format the whole card to FAT32 and put it in your card reader to see if it shows up as a removable drive.
what are you using to partition the card? Try flashing another rom that doesnt need extra partitions (such as cyanogen) and see if that rom can see your card as well.
if it doesnt detect it, then your card may have gone bad
=[ looks like i got a bad card....
i appreciate you two helping me out! wish it could have worked... i guess im just gonna pick up a new card
this rom wont even load when i dont have an SD card in it... and when the phone is loaded with my 4gb card, if i take it out, the phone freezes
weird....

like i said, important system files are on the sd card. you cant remove the sd card without crashing it. if you want a rom that you can use without an sd card, use JF or Cyanogen's rom. The hero roms have too much stuff to fit it all in the internal memory of the phone
what are those important files on the sd card?
are you talking about the partitions or something else?
if its something else like hidden files or something, then maybe thats what i need to fix my 8gb

they arent hidden, but thats what i was trying to say. after youve formatted your card, wipe and reflash the update. it will put those files on your card automatically.
they are located on your ext partition.
if you use adb, you can see them in
/system/sd/app_s
to get it to work, put the freshly partitioned sdcard into the phone.
press home+power to get to recovery. wipe the phone. flash the update (jachero2.1)
when it installs, it will find the ext partition and do it manually
Just installed the new radio, then SPL in that order....
followed instructions for partitioning ext2,
then reboot.....
stuck on the g1 screen.
BUT
I can get to recovery (home and power). What can I do now?

did you install a rom after you installed the new radio and SPL? if not you have to do that.
how can I if i can't boot then mount? do I need to take the sd card out and get a reader? then browse the sd card on a computer and put a new ROM in as update.zip?

exactly, I had to do the same thing when I updated to the new radio and spl. If you don't have a micro sd to sd then just go buy a new micro sd card and it will come with one.
Plug in your USB cable as normal, boot to recovery, go to the console and enter
Code:
ums_enable
to mount

or do that. I've never tried it but I am sure he knows a lot more about it than me. I just know the basics of how to get the job done. haha.
don't forget to ums_disable when you are done to unmount the sdcard

So I'm going to get a different microsd card, so I can enjoy the class 6 goodness. How do switch microsd cards with root enabled and apps2sd, and a hero rom? I tried this once and returned the card, but now I want to really get it working. All help is appreciated GREATLY!

Is it normal to NOT be able to wipe the Dalvik-cache and ext partition??
It always gives me an error saying it doesnt exist? I am able to install ROMs and themes however. Any ideas or recommendations on what to do?

Do you mean the below?
Partition Fat32/Ext2 with App2SD
Open up Apps2SD
It will show you a screen telling you that your card is not partition and you will have a sliding bar to choose the amount of space you want for an EXT2 partition
I suggest a max of 600mb for EXT2 space (I use 500mb)
Press Ok
You will get a Force Close screen DONT PRESS FORCE CLOSE PRESS WAIT
You will get a reboot message, Press Reboot
You now have a EXT2 partition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrading your EXT2 Partition to EXT3
Note: You do need the Cyanogen Recovery image for this to work!
Reboot into Recovery (Home + Power)
Go to console (Alt+x)
Press Enter
Type the following in the Console:
Code:
upgrade_fs
Wait for it to finish
Congrats! You now have a Fat32/EXT3 partitioned Sd Card!

If you get a error about run via console or something you should remove sd blow the slot then place the card back in. Your sd might be the prob though so see if anything changes.
I see i noticed you have a older Ra which has bugs you should upgrade to theh newer version that have those things fixed.

Yes it does say run via console, blew the slot several times and same thing, even blew on the SD card and nothing :-(
Perhaps it is time to change out this SD for a newer one, could be its going out on me?
Quote: I see i noticed you have a older Ra which has bugs you should upgrade to theh newer version that have those things fixed.
Upgrading to the latest and greatest RA is my next step, hoping this will fix my issue... thanks for all your suggestions so far.
@ilostchild: thanks for your input as well.
Okay so I installed the lastest RA Dream and am still getting the same error.
I am going to test out a new microSD and see what happens. I just have to make a temporary folder on my desktop copy, format the new SD to fat32 and copy the original files and folders I had back into the new one right?
Also, will me not having partitions be the whole reason behind it? Even the Dalvik-cache?

yes................ that would be a reason why you can't wipe your ext partition. you need to have an ext partition to wipe it.

So using a different phone the SDcard works? It maybe that the SDcard reader on the G1 is failing. I would try to use Paragon Partition Manager and see if that helps.

Nope, it'll only fix the SDcard. The SDcard reader on your G1 won't be affected. If it's broke, it's broke.
