I searched but only found people having trouble mounting their cards. Ever since I partitioned my 8 gig class 6 card, my computer won't recognize the FAT32 partition. It reads it when I mount in with my G1, but I'd really like to be able to use it with the card reader again. Has anyone else had this problem?

here's the scoop some sdcard readers do not read the high capacity cards well.
i have 2 pc's with sdcard readers one cant read any class 4 or 6 devices after formatting to fat32 my other which is newer read all cards no matter what parttion is on it. if you have the 1 gig card that came with the g1 that will work fine for flashing devices.
Format your card. That should fix your issue. Be sure and copy what folders you can, to back up.

that's kinda a hard one since the sdcard reader won't read the card and formatting through android still causes the issue it's the sdcard reader i've had this issue and using a different reader fixed it.

Ah, good to hear! I thought it was just one partition that was missing. I had one really bad issue with a corupted sd card that won't read. The sd reader was good but claimed the card was not there. After reinserting and clicking quick format about 50 times, the pc finally recognized the dead card and formated it. After that, no major issues since. This was with my old HTC Wizard. Old mini sd card. I love the micros but are kinda hard to handle (literally) and mobile phones have finally settled on one format (used to be a combo of mini and full size sd and the occasional micro (newer) ). Plus, brand name matters somewhat... sansdisk is pretty good. Pny is also pretty good for a cheaper brand. Class also matters now which is kind of odd but makes sense. Kind of like hard drive read/write speed. Tech is always changing and you can get left in the dust after 6 month of no research. Fun though... will always be my hobby and my job foremost. Sorry for long-winded reply... lol
Well I recently ran into an SD card problem. To find a solution I have searched many forums and Google. None have offered any solution. On my search for answers I have found at least 100+ G1 owners with the same problem. All posting within the last month. The error we are getting is "SD card removed. insert new sd card".
All threads I have come across have suggested to reformat the sd card, repartition, use ADB, cyans recovery image, to fix this problem. None of the above solutions have worked. A majority of the threads the G1 owners were still able to use there sd card with there pc.
Now I know this is in the right section. We need a developer to figure this out. A g1 without a sd card is like a g1 that is bricked. It is horrible not being able to download, play music, shoot pictures, ect.
i ran into this issue on a friends g1. came to find out he dropped it and the sd card would neved get seated correctly in the sd slot. i had to wiggle it a bit before the phone recognized it
Now we are getting some where. This solution didn't help me but might help others in the future when they use the search feature.
I had this problem on one of the roms I was using, maybe Dude's cupcake?
Wipe of the phone fixed it.
I have whiped and upgraded to new roms. My problem began when I entered a command into terminal to fix another problem. After that I whiped and updated to cyans.
I have experienced this 1 time only. When it happened to me, I removed it from the phone completely and checked it in my card reader. It picked up on the PC just fine and everything was still intact, so I knew the card was still good. I rebooted the phone without it and then shut down. Reinserted the card in the phone and booted into recovery. I ran the fix partitions thing and rebooted again. Problem solved. I personally haven't had any other problems since then. I was told on another forum as well that when you flash a new rom or even a new theme to run the partition fix included with cyans recovery. Something to do with apps2sd I think? I have just gotten into that habit and no more issues. Good luck.
I think I might have changed a path on my phone while in terminal and thats what is causing my problem. I can't get cyans recovery because my phone isn't reading the sdcard for me to install it. Also, good post I am sure your solution will help many!

Same for me. With Dude's it wouldn't read my SD card. Wiped, installed Cyanogen's ROM, wiped again, and the problem instantly went away.
Have you tried another SD card in the device? One that you know is good and working in another unit. I screwed up one of my older smaller cards trying to make a Goldcard. It has never worked since.
I tried that a few days ago. No luck there. Im glad were getting this thread going. So far I see a lot of good solutions. Best part about this is all the information is all in one place! If anyone has any input please do tell.
Do you have another card to test out? Have you tried to mount/unmount the card with the phone on? I know if a rom has built in apps2sd the unmount/format option is grayed out. Maybe try to take the card out with the phone on and reboot and then put it back in? Not sure what all to try. I know I was frustrated when mine was doing that as well.
This would happen to me all the time with the camera. I would take two or three photos, then I'd get a message that I need to insert an SD card.
I think the problem was the card. I was using a Patriot 4GB Class 6 card from Fry's. I switched to a Transcend 8GB Class 6 card and have not had any problems since.
It sucks having to buy a new card if you already have one, but $18 for a good quality 8gb card is pretty reasonable.
I have class6 card that does this.. I also have other card that don't .. in the case with my class 6 card it works fine untill I use it for apps to sd, wich in my case renders it useless..
It's word cuz it will load everything fine and run, but then freez up in the middle of use. That's when I know it unmounted itself. Then I'm forced to pull battary out or reboot.. I have truer every methed to fix it with no luck...
Mine is a 4gb c6 card and other than the 1 time, I've had no further problems. I have run A2SD for quite a while even before it was included with different roms.
First comment: Why is this in this section.
Most of these I've seen have been mechanical (poor card seating) - poor card contacts. Swapping the card has always removed the issue for me.
I've had 2 cheaper sd cards go bad. they looked like they worked fine when i put them in a card reader and plugged into a linux box -- but only at first glance.
further inspection revealed bad sectors and damage to the storage. Since i got a nice class 6, it has seemed fine -- i think you get what you pay for a lot of times.
Not to be crass, but this does not belong in this section of the board. Just because one seeks the expertise of developer, doesn't make it ok to post a thread in this forum.
My $.02
I agree, I also think it was cards that were just made bad I guess that's what I get for buying a cheap class 6 transcend from target lol..
Bad SD Card Slot
This happened to me to a week ago after flashing a new Rom, thought I do not think that the flashing had anything to do with it. I tried everything wiggling it , cleaning connection, reformatting. The card worked in other phones and computer but mine. I just think it went bad. Nevertheless after 5 days of getting no where I had T-Mobile send me a replacement

I should add that I also tried 2 new card as well both class 6
this is in the right section. If you havent noticed this a spread problem among many. We have tried other Sd cards. They do not work. This is a internal problem. Thats why its in the developers section. This post will save others from having to post about this same issues if they can find all the answers here. That being said if you have a problem with it maybe you should explain to me why brick threads, ect are ok in this section? There is nothing wrong with my sd card. Just like there isnt anything wrong with the other 5 sd cards I tried.
Google this you will find a lot of people having the same problem.
Twice in the last two months my 16 GB Class 6 AData microSDHC memory card has popped up as being "corrupt" and needed reformatting after powering back up from reboot on my Nexus One.
The first time happened on CM 5.0.3.1, the second time was with CM 5.0.4.1 with the UV kernel. Both times, data could not be read either through the N1, my old G1, or my friend's Droid. Thus a reformat was required and data loss ensued.
Anyone else experiencing occasional data corruption on their SD card? Another friend had it happen to his G1 with an 8 GB microSDHC memory card recently, running the latest CM for the G1, also on reboot and battery swap.
Is there a common thread here? Could it be HTC hardware-related? CM software-related? Just coincidentally two bad memory cards? Me using chinese replacement batteries when swapping out? The UV kernel? Not trying to point fingers or throw stones, just trying to get to the bottom of this...just lost some great pics of a recent vacation I just got back from. Suggestions or hints are welcome!
TIA!
this has happened to me a few times but I was still able to get my data through amon-ra recovery. I think it have something to do with an improper dismount of the card.
I'm curious, what brand of memory were your friends using?
I actually had this happen when my n1 was still stock (16gb class6 card)
I put the sd card in a card reader on my pc, everything was intact so I backed it up, reformatted and still had the n1 report it was corrupt. I ended up having to shut down, remove card, boot up w/o a sd card in, then with the sd card back in I never had the problem again
I know I did a full format the very first time, that 2nd time I had done a quick format. I've done a format recently also via amonra for ext partition and still no problems.
I happend to me few weeks ago. After turned it on ... I couldn't do anything because the screen was black and any key or type of touch was useful ... so I removed the battery and at the next start the SD wasn't readable anymore!
sry 4 my bad english!
erikikaz:
i'm running a 16 GD Class 6 AData memcard in my N1, my friend is running an 8 GB class 6 SanDisk memcard in his G1. Neither of us is running Apps2SD or anything weird.
glad to see i'm not the only one with this issue. was gonna buy a new 16 GB card but saw an article yesterday that sandisk is coming out with a 32 GB class 6 sdhc card in a month so i'll just wait for that one.
Same here
Same thing has happened three times on my Sandisk 16gb. I am running stock everything on nexus..nothing funky app wise.
After the first time it happened I replaced the sd card. It still happens. I have never been able to fix the card other than reformating. Chkdsk /f on win7 gets to 98% then throws an i/o error.
There is something majorly wrong. It seems that it happens in all android phones from time to time not just the nexus one. The consensus online seems to be that it is a mount/dismount issue that corrupts the card. I never mounted or dismounted the card at all with PC and it still happens so not sure what else it could be.
Do you think it is a phone hardware issue that would resolve with a new handset?
Has this ever happened to anybody using the standard 4GB card?
Where did you purchase your micro SD cards? There are a lot of fake/faulty cards being sold. I bought a fake one (unknowingly, obviously) and it kept getting corrupted until I tested it properly using h2testw.
I have the same problem on my nexus! I use an LG 16GB Card and CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1! Any way of recovering the data without amon-ra?

roman

+1 Make sure you dismount from computer first...otherwise this problem will pop up again...and may not be correctable next time. (There's a reason why the phone asks you to properly dismount from computer first)
no **** my n1 has the error message damaged sd card. restarted the phone a couple times and same message. what should i do? i see peoples solutions on this thread but idk where to start. i have a rooted n1 running cyan 5053 with apps2sd
I have had this problem a couple of times too, the latest being this morning
I have a stock N1 with a 16GB Sandisk card. The first time this happened, i went to use the camera and it said insert SD card, even though there was one there, I rebooted the phone and then got the Damaged SD card message.
This morning I was on the train, had been using the phone to read the news earlier with no problems, I got it out of my pocket and screen was black. and the phone completely unresponsive. Removed and replaced battery, booted up and got the Damaged sd card message again.
Both times I have been able to recover most of my files by putting the card in a PC, the first time I found that a couple of my photos were corrupted and unrecoverable, indicating that possibly it was the camera app that may have caused the issue the first time.
This time though, I found that some of my music tracks were corrupted along with one of my videos, and also a directory on the SD called LOST.DIR. Everything else was fine.
Not sure why only these files were affected, as I was not listening to music or watching any videos, so I dont see why the nexus one should have been accessing those parts of the card when it corrupted.
I could not delete the corrupted files, even on my PC, accessing them causes the PC to lock up. The only way to get card working again seems to be a format.
If only the format would work!

Roman
Just happened to me as well. Genuine 8gb Sandisk, class 4.
After a reboot Nexus reports corrupted card. It really seems corrupted, I'm unable to read it in a PC or anything else:
[ 1042.673542] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
[ 1042.673551] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
[ 1042.673561] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
[ 1042.673571] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 10248
I'm using CM 5.0.4.1 with UV kernel.
It's happened to me, even using the "safely remove hardware" function on the pc. i started just using the unmount on the phone which seemed less problematic.
Yep...add me to the list. Running stock N1 was playing music when it ocurred it started skipping through the tracks fast right before it stopped. It has affected/removed all my pics and left the music.
I'm with you all:
2 times on my Motorola Milestone, using a 16GB class 4 "unbranded" card
3 times on my Nexus, using that same 16GB class 4 card.
2 times on my Nexus, with a 16GB class 6 SanDisk card.
Most times, the data has been available by mounting the card into a PC or Mac directly, though my Mac has seen the card as "read-only" in these cases.
I seem to have this problem after mounting the card onto my work PC, though I don't often do that. I mostly use ADB to copy files. Maybe it is linked to leaving the debugging interface up all the time? I do that and I'm sure that most of you do as well...
Me too
I am using FRF91 MRCr21 and I am on a 800mv 070810 .35 rc4 kernel. Newest 5.00.08.04 radio.
Twice now after using quickboot my phone has reported my SD card damaged and it says I will have to reformat. It is a 8gb class 2 sandisk, real. One time I used quickboot to enter recovery mode and the other was only to reboot the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best fix? Both times I rebooted my phone was stable. I wasn't downloading or installing anything. Thanks!
My phone can't read the card. If I pull the card and put it directly in my computer it won't read either. Both OS can't read the file system and want me to reformat.
Neither happened due to not dismounting. Anyone correlate the problem with quickboot?
have had zero luck with adata 16GB classs 6 cards. i have gone through 2 of them however their 8 GB card has been awesome
Just had this with a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card. Inserted into card reader, copied something, popped it back into the phone, corrupt card message. Even the computer says I have to format it.
Hey guys. I'm having major problems with my nexus. I'm on cm7.1 and my phone keeps telling me my SD card is an unsupported system file or something. This is the 6th time this has happened and it keeps happening on different roms. Miui, sense, cm7, oxygen, cm7, hell it happened on a stock rom with no mods what so ever. I am going absolutely f**king crazy as it has made me lose countless photos that can't be replaced. This happened on a top of the range 32gb SD card TWICE, So it can't be ****ty SD cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It won't help you fix the phone but have you tried putting the card in a card reader and checking if it still recognizes the card and it's content?
Do you "eject" your phone from your PC before you unmount?
Heya guys,
long story short: I started getting some random SD card ejects after one of the updates. Sadly, I can't pinpoint the specific nightly.
The MicroSD card went through extensive tests,reformats and checks. Tried using it in both adaptive and portable storage modes but still getting the problem. The MicroSD card appears to be genuine, its 32 gigs and currently it works. It's formatted in ExFat I believe and it usually starts ejecting during the playback of songs.
I got an unsupported SD format once, but after a reboot it seems to be working again.
After some forum reading I saw that people say that their cards are usually dying and they just need to change it.
One thing I suspect that shorthened the life of my card was actually dual-booting with MultiRom. Im aware that cards have a specific write/read count, but I was a bit hopeful that I wouldnt need to change my card.
I'd like to ask if someone else has experienced the same issues and found a solution, or I really just need to get a new MicroSD card.
Thank you in Advance.
