Ok i have a problem.
i have a rooted sprint htc hero with modaco 1.1
i went to do a weekly nandroid backup and i restarted and after my phone says it no longer recognizes my sd or any sd card.
it says blank sd card when anything nothing is in the slot.
i can no longer go back to the sprint the sprint
does anyone know how i can get my phone back to normal so i can take it to sprint
thank you for helping
I inserted an NTFS card in mine the first time I tried to use it. Make absolutly sure that your card is Fat and NOT NTFS.
you can check it by (on windows) inserting the card into a reader and then right click the disc in my computer and looking at the Format:
ok i went to sprint a little while ago and took my rooted hero back and they took it to look at it no questions asked.
i will post back when i get it and what happens.
They'll usually take it back as long as you aren't running anything that requires root that is obvious. I wouldn't go in with a terminal open on the screen thats for sure.
ok got my phone back and its fixed
they didn't care that it was rooted h even made a joke about it
and that is another reason why i love sprint
SD cards are working again?

So, I went through the guide here to install HardSPL and a custom ROM (djkoa's 6.5) on my Tilt, mostly in preparation for wanting to give Android a shot.
It mostly went alright, I hit a snag with CID/SIM unlocking, in that I'm not sure whether it worked or not. The first time it ran it did some thing at least, popped up a program on my Tilt which I allowed to run, but I think there was an error or something, and since then attempts to re-run the unlocker just give me an "incompatible device" error.
But I considered it not worth much worry since I can't get a decent plan for this thing around here anyway. AT&T doesn't sell here, Sprint's too expensive, US cellular doesn't use SIMs, and I'm not sure T-Mobile's 3G is compatible with it anyway, unlocked or not. I just use it as a Wi-fi PDA basically.
What is worrying me though is that somewhere in the process I seem to have broken my 4GB SDHC card. Despite doing my best to follow the instructions in the guide on when to take out and put back the SD card, it got corrupted somehow in the process, with everything showing up as gibberish broken files that couldn't be removed.
I downloaded StorageTools, looking for a way to format the card without a card reader. I ran the Verify first and it did tell me there were errors, but rather than tell it to repair, I figured it be safer to just format the thing and start fresh.
So I formatted it, which took a while, but then when I went to copy over the android files, I got an error telling me the device was unavailable in the middle of copying one of the files.
So I decide to run another verify and repair, to make sure the install went OK. The same scan that had taken me a minute before took over an hour. It didn't throw up any errors, but since then everything I do with the SD card takes for goddamn ever.
Did I break my SD card somehow? Is the ROM/Radio(1.70.19.09) I'm using just have terrible/broken SD support?
How do I fix this, or do I just need to get another card?
OK, I seem to have solved my SD card issue. I think it was just a poor ROM, as I switched to another 6.1 ROM and now it runs fine.
I still have no idea if I successfully unlocked it though, nor do I know how to check.
Read the stickies.
so as my sig says, i have a rooted mt3g 32b, and up to yesterday it was workign perfectly. i was wiping the happyrom .95b to install a themed superE rom. i had phone plugged into usb, had full battery, looked as if it flashed fine.. nothing hung up, none of the normal warning signs. I tried to reboot, and suddenly, it started a SINGLE BOOTLOOP and then booted into the rom. when it loded up, i found the SD card slot wouldnt recognize, and the sim card wasnt recognized either. Spent about an hour trying to do any unix commands enatefox could think of to fix it. ended up having to use part of /data as a symbolically linked "sd card" after i rebooted, was able to use the phone as in the sim card slot worked again, although the SD slot was no more... has anyone had this happen or can anyone think of a fix? if so, gtalk me or email me or pm me.. whatever

thanks,
Drew
p.s.
Card is not fried, im using it in my new mt3gs and shes working perfectly
I hate to say it but it sounds like a hardware failure to me... With any software bug... a complete wipe followed by stable rom fixes everything.
Good luck.
dammit>.< i need a fix of some sort.. gotta be a fix somewhere
it seems its only a half ass problem... i downloaded the sapphimg.nbh to the sd card through my mt slide, transferred cards to the mytouch, went into hboot, it loaded up the image, and unrooted me fine... so the issue seems almost like firmware? i could be wrong, but i think the firmware is half assing the sd card slot

Nobody's going to email you. You ask here, you'll be answered here. If you don't like that, your problem.

No... really? You thought the card might be fried?
Lets see... you install a new haxored system image, and stuff doesn't work. What conclusion can you come up with from this? That whatever you did broke the phone! You either screwed up the install, or the system image you chose to install is a piece of garbage that doesn't work!

... "the firmware is half assing the sd card slot".... WTF does that mean??
Hi All,
When I got my Galaxy S many months ago, just after UK launch, I then did a mod for the OS to run off the SD Card. I was happy with the speed and how it worked so intended to leave it as it is. However the SD card has crapped out on me so now I have a brick! I cannot even remember which version of the mod it was, there were so many at the time and I didn't intend to remove it. I am pretty sure it was the Mimocan fix from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724251. So how do I get the phone back to working stock, so I can start again?
Thanks in advance
noob with dead phone
Hello everyone, i just got the nexus one just to mess around with, its already rooted but no rom installed. My problem is that when I put my SD card in the phone and boot up the phone I get the message "SD card blank or has unsupported file system". I know theres threads on the topic but they seem not to work, I've also reformatted thesd card and nothing. Its a 32gb
Not sure of the brand, ill look and post it.
Try using a program like sdformatter and did you format to FAT32?
Try a different sd card to see if maybe it's the card itself that's bad
Yeah I tried sdformatter, yeah I tried formatting to Fat32, no the SD isn't bad,the computer recognizes it. Idk what's wrong
with sdformatter did you use full erase and size adjustment ON
i am not sure but a card may be able to be recognized and still can't be formatted or may be bad--again, not sure
Yeah I tried full erase but not with size adjustment on though, ill give it a try though. I know the SD card isnt bad because after trying to have the nexus read it, and I get the blank SD card error, I plug it into my computer and it will automatically ask me if I want to format the SD card because its corrupt, after I select yes the computer reads it just fine. I think it just might be the phone itself, I've tried countless solutions people have posted in other threads, and the phone is what, about 2 years old, it just might be slowly dying
understand--good luck

Does N1 support 32 gb cards?
The N1 does support 32gb SD cards, I've gotten lucky and it read it, but after booting the phone up again I got the same message in the status bar, I think the problem might be with the rom on phone I don't know what rom its running but it looks like its a completely stock rom, or it could be the way the way the person rooted the phone, and I don't have a clue on how to unroot the phone. Yes I know its rooted I'm able to get superuser permissions.
you didn't say, unless i missed it, did you try another card
if so, and it is rooted can you tell what recovery is on phone clockwork or amonra
Sorry about that, yeah I tried and still am trying a 4gb SD card, I didn't root the phone, but when I got the memory card to work I flashed clockworkmod, I was going to reboot into recovey but when I pressed powered button I could only power off the phone, so I did and was going to boot into recovery through hboot, but when I selected recovery it just showed the picture of the android with the black background, so I rebooted the phone and kept on getting the error message, idk what I did to get the phone to read the SD card, I guess just luck.
Do you have the android sdk installed on pc do fastboot flash amonra 2.2.1 or maybe clockwork has that option. If it it the first time you may need to delete a couple files to have amonra stick. Clockwork 3+ did have some issues for some. Or you can check wiki and flash the correct passimg and go back to stock and start over. If you have means back up what you can. Not sure of your problem--sorry
Well it looks like the N1 is done, it won't even boot any more, looks like I'll be phone less for a while...the problem wasn't because it was rooted, I got it unrooted back on 2.2.1 then it updated to 2.3.? And it still had the sd card problem, I guess it was a sign that the phone was dying...r.i.p. n1 lol
Thank you ruggmankc for trying to help save my n1
sorry to hear that--
bright side is great phones are coming out this year and N1's can be bought at good prices if interested

Basically anything I can make calls and text on will do until I can afford and high end android phone
good luck on it--
sometime ago my sdcard kept being unexspectly removed, a friend of mine had a theory that it might be a software problem.
So he tried to install cyanogenmode on it coming from whatever system I had before.
Suddenly the SDcard worked, and I could get the new OS on.
now on cyanogenmode it can't decide whether it wants to work or not, it seems to stop working whenever i'm doing something with video.
The SDcard always comes to work again when my phone completely runs out of power, but then after sometime it stops.
my friends theory is now that the sdcard might be bricked, how do I unbrick?
i tried formatting the sdcard and this is the rom that i'm using
[ROM][CM10][4.1.2]CyanVivo X Reborn![Buttery Smooth][15/07/2013][3.0.86]

Your sdcard is not bricked. Just take off the back cover, take the sd card out. Blow gently on sd card and slot and then put sd card back in. Normally the problem goes away.
