My sd card starting giving me errors about 2 weeks ago. It says the card is removed. I have tried about 6 cards now.
When I go into terminal and type mount /sdcard it says something like mount failed (are you root?). So did I loose root? I'm running jacxrom. This happen 2 weeks ago when I flashed.
i was running xrom when i had simular problems on one of my phones i had to unroot it and then send it back to tmobile. but ive been running it since and no problems since so who knows. but i dont think it was xrom i think it was a combination of adb and a bad cable.
Yeah. Any one know any terminal commands I can try? Also my phone keeps creating .dm files on the card. Its not my pc. This has happen on multiple cards and computers. I hope its not my sd card port. I don't have a contract with tmobile. My phones only 1 years old and its already kicking the bucket
would it be possible for you to go back to RC-29 and try a OTA firmware and see it still goes berzerk
i don't know if this would work (as long as you do not care for and information loss, otherwise back up your card first) go into the recovery console on cyanogen 1.3.1 and up and type
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 1
rm 2 (if you have a second partition)
rm 3 (if you have a third partition)
print (look for Disk size /dev/block/mmcblk0: xxxxmb)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 xxxx (substitute from above)
quit
reboot
see if that works. it will format your card to fat32. eh, its worth trying if you haven't already.
Says sh not found
when trying to do which part?
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
which recovery image do you have?
Try a card reader and see what happens, if not have to tried throwing it against a wall
Hey david, did you see that me and codani got called out to stop hijacking threads. This is no fun anymore

oh man... if you haven't partitioned the card then use the card reader to partition it to fat32.
@the_reverend (your new name) when did this happen?
I have heard this happening a couple times, try reformating the sdcard to fat32 and try it again
also if you do get it working again, i highly (said from a tall tall tall building) that you get cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image.

This morning, check here in the q&a on the fastest rom not based on dream or hero, check out wich ever one that you see has mikey as the last post
Pistol gave me a heads up on it earlier, i alright let supreme and codani know, looks like we pushed it too far that other mods came in and mikey had to step it. Looks like the wrecking crew needs to hang back for a little bit till the heat does down
I've formatted to fat32 atleast 100 times. I've used 5 computers and 6 different sd cards.

how do i get out of boot loop or remedy..its actually stuck on the hero splash
Re-wipe
then re flash
i just did that...same thing
It's probably an issue with your EXT2. When it's looping it is looking for the app_s & app folders and if your sdcard isn't mounted properly it will loop until it can see you EXT. You should completely wipe your EXT2 and reflash the build.
ok step by step..how did u install ur hero rom....because i used to and never had these problems b4....
wipe device then flash now when your done flashing dont reboot...remove sd card then boot up! it might reboot once but that is okay just leave it and let it load when all done re-insert sd card!
yea i did that...but as soon as i restart or do the app2sd...it freezes at the hero splash...i give up...cuz even with the sd card out and hero running...it was super sluggish..unresponsive and annoying...lol
the error wat my fault...i figured my prob...but those hero roms are too slow...like i wonder wat these guys talk about when they say its fast...faster than before? which was snail...so now its turtle?..lol
having the exact same issue any1 found an fix for this ?
from the console in recovery type this
mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

try madacos hero rom. fastest ****ing thing ever. seriously. it just takes a while to boot and to get fast because your phone needs to GET USED to the hero roms. heres the link

cheers for the link i just want to be able to use my 8gb card and cant the 4gb works fine went through the same procedure as the 4gb 1 to the 8gb 1 must be some issue
what exactly is wrong with your 8gig card? if all else fails, reformat it and repartition it. only takes like 15 min. thatways it starts from scratch essentially. its what i had to do because i got constand fc' while running hero roms. i got these process.android.media ones every 3 minutes when doing ANYTHING. yeah reformatting and repartitioning is always your last resort saftey net

ok first off ive used ravs recovery image 1.2.1g formatted my sd card with it fat32 extention 2 and swap, ive done that about 5 times now but as soon as hero loads it goes straight into a loop this is only with the 8gb card, stick the 4gb card in and it works fine so i don't know what the issue is with the 8gb
Sorry if this has been adressed before, but i did use the search and i cannot quite figure out what to do next. I might have dropped my phone the other day, and since then none of my apps run from the SD becase it thinks that it was ejected. So, i wiped and installed a clean JackXrom again, and it was fine for about 20 min, then phone locked up, and when i restarted, i get the same problem. Should i format the partitions on the card perhaps? I was trying to avoid that, so any work around would be helpfull.

If it only happened once it shouldn't be an issue, but if it does it wouldn't hurt to format your ext.
In recovery
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/*
I tried repairing my ext, no luck.
Whenever i try to mount in recovery console i get error : No such file or directory

Sounds like you need to delete the partition and make a new one, as it can't be read. If you're going to use parted from you're phone then you'll probably have to start over and recreate fat (and linux-swap if you had one) too. If you're using paragon or Gparted you should be able to recreate just your ext.
I cant recall which tutorial i fallowed, but it was all done through the terminal or recovery. Could you possibly point me to the right thread?

if you can remember the start and end of youre ext partition i think you can do this in parted by typing print then note down the start and end then type mkpartfs primary ext2 start - end

Everytime i try to mount in recovery i get "mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: device or resource busy"
I'm lost.
pull your battery our for 30 seconds or so. remove your sd card then reinsert it and then try again. if that doesnt work then do what the others guys have said and try to reformat your sd card and start from scratch.

Actually, with Parted you can just rm and mkpartfs any partition you want without affecting the other partitions.
I bit the bullet and just formated all the partitions.
Thanks anyways guys.
My advice for next time or any body else reading would be to download a live CD for ubuntu or fedora or similar and boot your PC off that - it's graphical and v. easy.
Or just dump windows altogether and go for linux ;-)
Smiffy.

Yeah Gparted is amazing problem is then you have to walk the person through downloading, burning the image...which can be painful.
This is still happening, fresh format on sd card partitios and a wipe and clean install of Jacxrom.
Bad sd card? Or the phone?
JACxROM [v1.3]
I am attempting to flash to this ROM. Everything seems to go as describen in other posts, but when I power up the phone, I never make it past the splash screen. Any thoughts??

Bump, dead SD card?
partition corrupted anyway to recover?
I need help please!
I was running cyanogen 4.0.3.1 just installed today morning then changed theme to enoch 1.12 the newest one that worked fine. Updated the browser to loccys Then installed the HTC music and when finally rebooted the phone it was working fine until I noticed I had none of my apps on the sdcard.
All I have is syste/app folder which runs internally I think everything else does not work. It's like my sdcard is not in.
I shutdown rebooted and waited. Then removed sdcard rebooted and inserted the card one fully powered on and it is saying it wants to format it.
I get home turn my ubuntu system on and it detects it as a ext3 partition yet nothing inside. and now no fat32 partition or linux-swap.
anyways to recover or am I SOL?
Ive tried installing Cyanogen about 10 times on my G1 and it always ends up the same no matter what guide i use. Ive tried so many different "stable" versions of Cyanogen i dont even know where to begin. I downgrade to RC29 fine, Install the radio update, and gain root access. Then i boot into the Home+Power menu and install Cyanogen through the Alt+S install prompt. Then the phone reboots and either hangs at the G1 screen or loads to the Cyanogen (Blue text) Android screen and hangs there and the screen eventually goes black.
Another time i installed a more recent version of Cyanogen, After about 5 minutes of sitting at the android screen it would load, but all the applications would instantly crash and i would have no choice but to turn the phone off. Does anyone have any idea what im doing wrong. Ive been searching every android forum for the past 4 days and cant seem to find a solution to solve this problem.
I don't know if this will work since you don't have a Cyanogen ROM to begin with, but you might try the Cyanogen updater app in the market. It is unbelievably easy and does everything for you from downloading the rom to rebooting into recovery and automatically flashing it.
Did you partition you sd? I am pretty sure any cyan mod requires a fat32 and ext2 oartition for the auto apps2sd.

Nah, it works fine without an ext2 partition, once you create one it will copy your apps over and set it up on boot. It does seem to have issues when the partitioning isn't right though. I've found doing partitioning in recovery console most reliable.
I have the same problem and to me it DOes have issue when the partitioning isnt right cuz I failed the partition... in console it just didnt work, and now everytime I try to reinstall the rom it turn black after the blue android logo...and from there Im stuck, I just dont know what to do to make it work...
have you tried checking the md5sum to see if you got a bad download. i got one once and nothing would work
MD5 sum matches up fine. Is there anything else i should be adding to this procedure?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924
I do this guide word for word and end up with that black screen i was describing before every time.
Install CyanogenMOD 4.0.1 (Stable), Right after that section of the guide when i reboot my phone, i get the black screen after the android logo sits for about 5-10 minutes and i cant continue with the guide any further although im assuming the other guides after this are optional.
have you tried the latest 4.0.4 rom?
Yessir i have. Ive tried 4.0.2 and older versions as well. No luck just different problems.
Can we install another rom other than cyanogen on the cyanogen recovery? cuz if so ill try to install a rom that dont have app2sd just to see...
Ive find my problem now my cyanogen work...it was my sd card that is not well partitioned even tough I reformated it to fat32 it just wont work..so after installin the cyanogen rom i just removed the sd card and it worked fine...so I guess ill go buy a already partitioned sdcard cuz im havin problem with theses...
I can't believe that no one has said this to the op but did you wipe before flashing
yea wiped... but now how to I proceed? I need an sd card...
If I partition my sd card outside of the cellphone and put it in, will cynogen rom will recognize that app2sd is possible or I will need to reinstall the rom?
I was suggesting wiping to the op mesh, forken, yes you can partion the card outside the phone as long as you have a fat32 partion on there since it is the only file type that the phone will recongize as a non operating storage place for your roms and other files
partitioning is so simple, just use console and follow the guides. Make sure you know what size your card is and you will be fine. You can't buy a partitioned sd card so your gonna have to figure it out.
once in recovery goto console
hit enter after each line
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print (this will give you your sd size in mb)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 xxxx (xxxx is the size you get in print MINUS 512)
mkpartfs primary ext2 xxxx xxxx (first xxxx is the size of your sd MINUS 512, like we just did. 2ND xxxx is the full size of your sd)
then goto recovery and click fix/repair ext filesystems.
well yes you can buy a pre partion, theres a android website where you can buy pre partition sd card anyway you like it...
the problem is that my sd card is bugged now I think I need to fix it before trying to partition it again...cuz it wrongly partitioned..
Really you can buy pre partion cards, I think I just found my next scheme to make money since I can use the partion editor in ubuntu in 3 minutes so there is 60 minutes in an hour, so that's 20 cards an hour and I am lazy so 5 cards a day. How much is the mark up on these pre partion cards, I can out do them by 50 cents, make a link to my website for them in my sig and prob make a little profit, yay, go ignorance and laziness
ahah ill post it...
Do you know if I can fix a wrongly partitioned sd card... with just trying to partition it correctly? or I need to fix it first?
Sure, wipe it completely clean, it's called reformating. Make new partions, whichever way you are using for partion does not seem to be working for you so I would suggest trying to find another way, try googling gparted like I told you before to do and give that a try
just format the card to FAT32. You don't need an ext partition to run cyanogen, you just need it if you want apps2sd. And do a low level (not quick) format.
ive tried to reformat to fat32 and it does the same thing...
So, I got a 4GB sdcard the other day. It came out of a blackberry a friend of mine was using. I formatted the card to FAT32 with the utility in windows 7, and everything seemed to be fine. I downloaded ext2fsd to be able to copy my ext partition to my new card. I followed the directions from the website about mounting the ext partition.
After I performed the steps above, my sdcard became unusable. I tried to take it out, and put it back in my card reader, and I get an error saying windows needs to format the drive, if I try to format it, it doesn't work. I've tried in gparted as well, and also get an error. I even tried from Amon's revorery, and sdparted in the console. I don't get errors with the latter two, but my card reader still says it's RAW.
I know that was lengthy, but I'm trying to figure out anymore steps to take, or if I should just throw the card away.
Thanks
ok..
wow.
You have to have 3 partitons. If you only format it with 1 partiton, you cant save data on a partition that doesnt exsist.
You have to go to recovery console and make a fat32, ext3 and linux swap partion.
I dont have the patience to go trhough it all with you because its in 100 different threads so .. use search?
Not trying to be rude, but this is stuff you can fin don your own here very easily if you werent expecting someone to do it for you
EDIT-- sorry, dont think i read fully what you did. I had this same thing happen today on a friends brand new 8gb.
HEres what I did since you have Amen ras recovery..
Format to just FAT32.
Turn on usb
give it a second to pop up and it will and check the size.
Then turn off the usb, go into parted on console, rm 1, then remake all 3 partitons according to the size of the card.
I suggest not using the full partiton in the recovery because it usualy screws up the swap.
From there you will be fine.
If it doesnt work that way, then im sorry, the card may be pooped or to low a class maybe?

Yeah, I know you're not trying to be rude, but I know I need 3 partitions. I'm pretty aware of the way a sd card needs to be partitioned. I've tried everything mentioned. I think it's about time to call it quits. It's a class 2 card, so I don't think that's the issue, and I can't format in Ubuntu, or Windows. Oh well I suppose. Thanks.
You can try this app. Its called Sd formatter...it reformats the SD. IT worked for me.

I forgot to include this in the original list of things I tried, but I did give it a go. It is telling me the card is write-protected even though the switch on the adapter is set to the unlocked position. I've also tried it with a different adapter. I appreciate everybody's input.
well try using parted commands to write from block 0 to the last block and partition the whole thing as fat32
is that not working?
did you tried partitioning with RA 1.2.3 recovery?
@B-man007
I haven't tried writing the whole thing to FAT32 with parted. I'll give that a try tonight (don't have the card with me).
@cholito
I'm using RA 1.2.2, I think the script is the same, so I don't know that it would make a difference if I was using that or 1.2.3
My G1 froze the other night, and the only way I could reset it was to pull the battery, since then my micro SD card (4gb, 96MB Swap, 512 Ext 4) seems to be ruined. Windows cannot reformat it for me. I can't load new zips in recovery or my nandroid backups even though I can see them all. Any suggestions on a fix? I tried repartioting but that doesn't work either. Any help is appreciated. Back to my 1Gb for now.
I had this happen to me before, search up SD formatter on google. Hopefully this will work
