Well 1 you could just delete the stuff on it. Or 2 you can format your sdcard.

G1 Freezing A Lot!

Hey, before i post this question, i will have you know that i searched first and found one post similar to mines but there was no confirmed solution to it. Anyways, My friend has a rooted g1 and out of no where, his phone started to lag alot and freeze up. Especially when he would open up to use his physical keyboard. He tried 3 different roms, they all have same results. He even tried unrooting using dreamimg.nbh and same problem.. any suggestions would be helpful.. Thanks in advance!
WTH?

Back up your data and format the card, restore the files and wipe/flash the Rom.
Has fixed some issues I have had
Try another SD Card if the above does not fix it, it might be going bad.
Legend221 just curious but wat issues were you having?

Weird problem - just for your info (be aware)

Hi! Just to share what happened to me recently.
My Legend is now sent to service. Don't know exactly what went wrong, but anyways.. I rooted it a couple of weeks ago. Been installing and trying out some ROMs ju find "the one" for me (I'm not new to this, been using rooted Magic and Hero earlier). Finally, I installed a ROM with busybox..so far so good. Then I rebooted my phone - FAIL! It didn't wake up again!
Finally I managed to reinstall a ROM by running "step1" from unlockr's "how to root a legend"-Guide.. But the phone complained about me removing the SD-card. Figured, maybe it was because of unlockr's (Pauls??) testimage, so i ran the official RUU 1.31 and it installed fine (it didn't before). But no, sd-card was still "removed". tried a secont sd-card, same problem. Bought a new 16GB Class 10 card (previous cards were 2GB/8GB class 4) - No go. So - the conclusion is - my sd-card reader is gone. Not to worry, warranty will take care of it - but has this happened to others? If it has, maybe busybox isn't such a great idea on the legend for now.
Hi, nothing wrong with your phone, just an glitch in software that controls usb.
Happen twice for me after flash/root
quite easy to fix with adb and fastboot and terminal software.
se other post and howtos for usb bricked
just make sure that you got same HTC_xxx number to match your device.

Oh, thanks.. then maybe I should try it before I send it in I actually read the posts before, but I didn't get how to hexedit the file :s I need the how-to for dummies maybe you can help me with that part?
Edit: I can try this later, need to re-root my phone first.. I have my goldcard at home, I'll do it later tonight (I get off work in 6 hours). I'd appreciate if you could help me with the hexedit thou. Now I get "INFOCID is HTC__Y13"
Edit2: since I no longer have root, is it even possible to root the pgone with the sd-controller disabled? :s
Edit3: This is gonna be a loooong post. sorted out the hexedit anyway, I'll se what I can manage :9 Thanks
Problem solved! Thank you for your help! Got back root, now it's just the flashing part left The problem was, I couldn't see my Sd card - at all. but that was easily fixed with the help of this forum! You're great!
I´m glad to help

starting to think maybe my sd card fried cant get it to transfer files from my pc or to my pc it stalls out trying to format it but thats not working well either keep gettin windows cannot complete the format error or a sd card is locked message.... in other words having hell thinking about smashing it and filing on insurance.......

Did you see my help LINKS thread lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
AFAIK you need the sync, cuz it gives you drivers, but there's many ways, go click around in my thread and after you get the basics done post back in here. It does sound like your sd card is borked though, if windows won't even format it. Are you s-off? Probably not Can you get to ADB? does it recognize your phone?
WAIT.... you can use recovery? Just grab another sd card and flash from scratch, no RUU, no nand restore, scratch, it should work.
If your s-off try reflash your recovery. If your not s-off then you should be. Then try to reflash your recovery.

Well, I'm no sdcard expert, but I remember jasonmaloney posting some sort of sdcard help/fix ideas recently. Maybe try to read thru some of his posts or send him a PM? Or give in and get a new sd

Yeah after I posted that I remembered you were actually talking about recovering lost data on an sd, oops.
Just wanted to elaborate a little on this in case anybody searches for help and lands here.
The 'LINKS' thread Duce provided contains a link to an RUU (windows executable) which only requires the Android USB Driver is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800586
You can download an Android USB Driver package separately.
You can also find the HTC Android USB Driver here (bottom of page).
I have used this many times, even on computers without AndroidSDK installed, just the driver package (I keep a zip on my SDCard ~8 MB).
wouldn't know of a way to fix my sdcard would ya

You might try and boot into a Linux Rescue Disk (i.e. RIPLinuX - (Bootable ISO X-Version))
Search right-click menu for GParted.
Run GParted, delete the partition(s), rebuild partition table, format new partition(s).
All this is done right in the GParted UI, just a few clicks.
This might help fix your problem, not really sure.
ive alway used my old mt3gs 4gig sd card.

[Q] Wondering if im screwed or not

OK so heres my story of what happened to my Captivate. I plan on getting an SIII sometime in the next couple of weeks, but it would be nice to get my Captivate up and running again in case I need it sometime in the future.
So I was running CM9 on my phone, not sure which build, not sure if it matters. Phone was still in my pocket when I went swimming. Left it in a bag of rice, and it booted up. I got the message that said Encryption failed...reset phone or whatever. I figured it would just format it and didnt know that it would lead to more problems. So based on what I have read on the site, now my internal SD is fried im assuming. Now I tried following some guides for using an external SD card but I couldnt get it to partition from ClockworkMod, and I couldnt get into download mode for a few days because something probably got messed up internally from water damage. I managed to get into download mode today and tried running an Odin One-Click to see if it would help at all. Now my phone brings up the AT&T World Phone screen, then shuts off as soon as the screen normally transitions into the next step of the boot process.
So thats my story. I just want to know if anyone knows if this is still a problem with the SD card or if my phone is completely beyond repair. Thanks a lot to anyone that tries to help
You got hit by the EU (encryption unsuccessful) bug. From what I hear not a whole lot you can do now except try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
There are a couple other threads in the dev section about this as well.

Ya that was the guide I tried but my external SD card wont partition, at least not through clockworkmod. When i press the button to partition, the partition process is instant, and i know it just has to skip it because there is no way it would partition that fast.
You could always pay to have jtag performed. It will overwrite all the screwed up stuff and fix the problem.

I think with the EU bug its just trashed. JTAG won't even fix it. There are a few stories of them coming back to life on their own, but no promises.
Hi we offer a work around re-map to have the partitions run on you external sdcard. Pm me if you need any help with this.

[Q] Weird error

Hey guys,
I've been online searching for a solution a couple of hours already but i can't find anytbung about my problem...
Here's my problem:
I just bought the samsung galaxy ace and everything works except for one thing. I can't download anything from the internet (I've tried several browsers). The second i try to download something, it says that I need an sd card to download the file. I don't even have an sd card...
With my earlier phones i've never had this problem so i don't know how to fix it... It's just weird to me that i need a sd card to download a file especially because i don't even have one.
I hope someone knows/finds a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Edit:
I've already hard resetted and set the phone to fabric settings a couple of times.

yes brother you should have an sd card cos it is not a advanced phone which offers internal and external storage separately like grand or s4
so please insert an sd card
