Help me

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?

[Q] What fixes have you tried for your dead i9000m?

So just like everyone else i've got a bricked i9000m. So before i send it off to repair (thats if they take it that is), Im sorta curious what fixes have all you out there tried on your phones?
So far i have flashed with odin1.3 to jh2 and now stuck a the "S" boot screen.
Is there a way to get cwm recovery on a phone that dont boot?

i bricked my phone many times.i flash back to xxjm8 from samfirmwares.com, thats the password aswell you will have to register its free. if it does not work first time try flashinging again.use ordin 1.7 its good.you can get all your updates from ther without getting confussed on the fourm, i have been stuck on that screen many times trying to root my fone on the new 2.2.1 firmware.go to google type xxjpu galaxy root. the is a web site give you xxjpx rooted with voodoo + some cool tools follow all the steps to the letter,if you can print it off its only three pages .

what about adb ? Did tried it ?

a hammer
i flashed back to jh2 after it was in a boot loop from jk4 and then it wouldnt even turn on.. sent back for repair

tried it
i can't get the phone to connect. keep getting the stupid "unmounted sd......." crap.
but the funny thing is i can get in to dnl mode reflash with odin, and everything works fine no error codes. But the phone won't boot. keep getting stuck at the s screen

workaround
I've tried everything i can find, i used adb and mounted the card in windows then formatted the card (there is a how to on here for that) but that didn't work. I've tried multiple roms and kernels but i still have the same problem. It seems that my only option is to send it in for warranty. But, if you want to use your phone over the holidays or wait for samsung to come out with an answer before sending your phone in for repair there is a little work around that you can try to get your phone to boot. The phone will be fully functional except that you cannot use the internal SD nor an external SD. Thus, you won't be able to install or save anything to your phone.
to do this workaround just flash the bell froyo rom (there was another froyo rom that i had working but i can't remember which one) then install the voodoo lagfix kernel. When it boots you will hear the "cool voice" state that it is converting it to the ext4 partition and then it will boot into the OS. there will be a program or two that require a "force close" but at least you're phone will work until you can get it repaired. In settings under SD card you'll notice that it says there is no internal or external disk space that's just because you still have the SD corruption and that this is only a work around to get your phone to boot.

I'm curious, for those having this problem and can get into recovery mode, can you report if you're seeing an error msg under the menu and if so, what does it state? Thanks.

Where can you find the official firmware for the i9000m? I had a custom rom installed but my phone decided to brick - jpu worked fine but the minute i upgraded to jpx... Anyway I want to flash the official firmware and take my phone back to bell.
Thanks

I've ran my phone with the original Eclair rom for a couple weeks. I then figured that I couldn't wait for the froyo rom. I've been running the Spike Speedy OC rom, with the JK4 modem and voodoo lagfix. The phone was running just great, very fast. I then changed the lagfix to overkill ext4. Some hours later, the phone hung up. When I rebooted it, it said that the configuration had changed. I saw that one of the options was back to RFS.
What?? It's formatted as ext4. Oh sh*t. Well it didn't boot back up.
I've tried flashing every different firmware I could find. I then tried to re-format the SD manually and found that the partition table was bad.
I've tried to reformat both SD card partitions. The system one (p2) formatted fine, but the "internal SD" (p1) storage one wouldn't format. When I ran fdisk on it, it told me that the partitions didn't end on cylinder boundaries.
Then, I (mistake) flashed a T959 firmware on it. At that point, I wasn't able to get into the download mode using the 3-button combo. Oh shi*... Now I really messed this up. I've managed to get it into download mode using ADB and flash the bell firmware back on it. Oh yeah!! Here we go again.
After the fact that I had installed the T959 and flashed back I9000 firmware, I couldn't find the /dev/block/mmc*** anymore. As if the SD didn't load up.
At that point I inserted a microSD in, and it was recognized as the internal SD. I managed to partition and use that external microSD card just like the internal one and got the phone to boot and work. However, no storage.
All of which I was trying to do while my USB connection was on-and-off, because the usb connector was damaged. It initially had corrosion because my car plug that was kept on the floor of the car, with all the dirt, water and snow. I used alcohol and a tooth brush to clean it, between flashes. As well, flashing it through a VirtualBox VM since I'm on Ubuntu. Sh*t..
This morning I figured I would stop trying, flashed the JH2 firmware on it and brought it to Bell. I tried to get a refund with the argument that this phone is badly designed - with the samsung movinand flash chip - and that it would fail again even if they fix it. It didn't work out for me since I bought the phone about 40 days ago. I was thinking of getting a refund and buy a Nexus S, when a compatible one comes out. It has a different flash chip - a iNand from Sandisk I believe. Oh well. If it fails again, I can still call VISA and give it a try through the purchase protection plan. I have to mention too that I tried calling bell with my concerns - nothing they would do too.
I don't recommend you take my approach. IMO, maybe try, as root, to check the partitions using fdisk /dev/block/mmc(something) and if they appear ok, try to format the SD card using fat.format /dev/block/mmc(something)p1 - but that's it. I'm an experienced linux user, but I'm not a developper. I don't even clearly understand this ODIN flashing stuff. It's like not all firmware you find on the net have the same amount of components inside. I'm thinking stuff from the other flashing is still remaining, not replaced by the later flashes.
I have to say that the next time I'll approach this using fdisk and fat.format only (If I've got a recovery mode working, with root and adb support). Perhaps I will write down the numbers for where the partitions start and end on this SD card when I get my refurbished phone.
Some might say that I had time to spare... I wrote this for you that might be thinking of fixing your 600$ brick yourself.

External SD not recognised on galaxy s?

Hey all, my 16gb sandisk sd card isn't being recognised anymore, anyone know why?
It says it read the SD card, and it got to 100% complete, yet my apps dont load to the menu list anymore :/
Help please
Also, when I try and boot up either Launcher7 or Twlauncher the phone restarts on me..
It's not rooted, its not a custom rom, just froyo 2.2.1 :/

does windows recognise it ?
if so, move all files to PC, put SD card back in phone and try to format, if you cant format it under windows and try again

ok i connected it to my pc, copied everything over, then i formatted the card (fat32) and yet it still doesnt want to read it.
ive tried all i can do and yet nothing works. my card is 100% authentic so i know that isnt the problem, yet nothing else is fixing it

thats strange. if you was on a custom rom / kernel there are things we could do to get it working.... but your not lol.
under settings, have you tried to unmount / mount ??
does anything pop up in the notification bar when you insert / remove external sd ?

really? what custom roms? i moved from 2.2 to darkys 9.5 within a week, but then went to 2.2.1 for warranty reasons.
ive tried unmounting and remounting, just like inserting it, restarting the phone etc., all it says is media scan running, gets to 100%, media scan complete.
it says i have 8.56gb of 14.2gb free which is normal, and all the files come up on the computer, but in my menu they arent there, just a bunch of empty spaces.
no matter how long i leave it running nothing gets recognised

that is weird
have you tried a factory reset, i dont know any other options.
you havent downloaded any apps that could of caused this recently have you ?

no i haven't tried a factory reset yet just cause i don't want to lose all my apps. i had 10 pages of apps and id rather not want to reinstall 8 of the missing pages, but if i cant fix it ill go into download mode soon and perform a factory reset, if that doesn't work i'm gonna exchange the card for a new one.
i'm 100% certain that no apps caused this. i haven't installed anything new for about a week. just turned the phone off then back on and now its broken.
thanks for your help, ill let you know how i go

Yea keep me informed. Have u got any backup apps that you could try and see if they backup the "missing " apps
Sent from Miui powered SGS

i think my phone is the problem. i've just tried using a new sd card and that one is also not being read
ill try a factory reset later, and then if that fails ill try new firmware to see how that goes.

Just finished flashing froyo 2.2, then 2.2.1 and neither worked.
how do i go abouts fixing this with a custom rom?

i think the problem lies with the hardware not the software.
like you said earlier you tried another sd card and that didnt work either.
the options in a custom rom are just manually mounting / unmounting and fixing permissions in recovery, but i dont think this will help.
your on stock ROM now so i would just go to your nearest SSC and tell them to fix it under warranty

thanks for helping me man
ill be taking it in soon as a repair, however, my friend said it couldve happened cause my battery went to 0% and the phone just shut of and broke something, is that true? i'm not sure cause I can still access the card by pc.

[Q] N1 wont read sd card some one please help

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--

[q]SDcarderrors

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

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.

It doens't, also that's like one of the first things i tried, way before I even thought about getting a new OS.

SD card problem
Did you fix your phone or not.
After I made factory reset on my phone I faced with same problem. There were nothing wrong with phone before factory reset. !! strange
