i have an 8g that randomly stopped working, g1 would not recognize it or my laptop. gave up on it. i decided last night to try formating it from recovery, i formated it with no swap or ext partitions. once that was done i put my 1g back in and put the 8g in my laptop to swap all files.
but id check this out first

its a free sd card file recovery. do it before you put anything on the card after formating it. i had lost some stuff i think because i put everything on my card before recovering the files
good luck
how did u format it from the recovery?

go to partition sd, then for swap and ext set to 0, and rest to fat32
oh i also am using RAs recovery, not sure if stock can do that.

I bought a Transcend 4gb class 6 SD card, and partitioned it with paragon, now that ext2 partition has dissapeared and all Im left with is basically 3gs of space on a 4g card. I cant get it through paragon or anything on windows, is there a certain way to recover that partition or have I perminently fried it.
get the format software
hey I went through the same thing... I got panasonic's software called SD Memory Card Formatting Software Ver.2.0, I used it format by sd and got the original space back... good luck

Or if you don't have/don't want ubuntu do it right from the phone, there's a very good guide in the development section on how to do it... you do need CM 1.3 and up recovery though
Good luck

Also...
Are you starting from a fresh wipe?
I suggest you set up your card with all the partitions you want
but just for a 8gb and not a 2gb. Your fat32 is now bigger.(or would be in my case.)
yes i did a fresh wipe on the phone and reformatted my 8gb the same way i did my 2gb. i have 7gb of fat32 on it. its really weird cuz i dont understand why it would not boot passed the android screen
You need to copy over your ext partition as well as the fat32.. it has all your apps on it.
So I switched sd cards to a new 8gb class 6 one. I'm running mlign 3.2B right now. So what I did is I took all the stuff off the root of the card and put it in a folder on my computer. Then I opened up recovery with the new card in and put everything back on. When I rebooted it just loops at the htc screen with the android.

You never transfered all the files in the ext2/3 partition over. I would make a full BART backup including the ext partition on the old sdcard, copy the files from the backup to the new sdcard, and just restore it from there to get a full copy of your ext partition back.

well instead, I just did the following: in recovery I partitioned at 128, 512, and rest, then I did ext to 3 then 4. Then I rebooted to recovery, put the rom on, wiped data, dalvik, and ext, then I flashed the rom. Then it says htc provider has stopped working, along with google maps.
Did you format the ol card?
You could do the EXT+Nandroid option in Amon_RA.

well I did this just with it straight out of the box so no. Should I format it, and how?
every time I unmount the card it's fine, but once I remove the card the phone restarts.

You cant take the sd out of the phone while its on b/c of swap or app2sd being active still.

Oh yeah lol, sorry about that meant to say sd card.
well now what happens is I partition, then when I try to upgrade ext it gives me an error telling me to do it using the console.
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?
I have looked for this information but haven't found anything that seems very good. So I thought someone here might have know how to get this done.
I partitioned my SD card and since then my computer doesn't recognize it when I connect it through USB. Not sure if they are related but figure I can always partition it again.
I remember reading that formatting my SD card will not remove the partition. So what is a good way to get this done.
Thanks in advance
Gparted should help you do it. You will have to remove the partition and then reformat it. Just be very careful that you are working on the SD card and not your hdd... if you are familiar with linux, this should be pretty easy.
Use ROM Manager to Partion the SD card and change it back to a FAT32 partition.
That worked for me.
Just boot into recovery and choose format SD card if your using RA or Darchstar's recovery never used cwm so can't tell you that one good luck
