I finally spent the night yesterday downgrading my Hero, rooting it, and then installing CyanogenMod after lots of reading lol. Everything went smoothly for the most part, except for that my SD Card is not being recognized now by the phone, and i'm not sure why? Whenever I try to do Titanium Backup or run the Camera app, i'm getting messages that there's no SD Card installed, though it is. What could be causing this problem? Could it be i'm out of space on the SD card? I know I only had about 165MB of space on it before i did one last recovery backup last night, not sure if the backup filled up the card? Should i just recover from my Nandroid backup and try installing CyanogenMod again?

Clean your card so you have at least 500mb available if that doesn't work backup your card and format it to fat32 and copy back your files.

yes the problem is your card is full,clear some stuff like music until you can get a bigger card.
You will have to take card out of phone and insert directly into computer to do this.
Thanks you guys, it was indeed the SD card being full, I plugged it into my computer directly and removed about a gig of music and its working fine now. Thanks!!!

This is the situation:
I had a message on my phone (G1) stating the SD Card was damaged and I may need to format. Long story short, I formatted the card. Before formatting I moved everything from my card to my desktop.
After formatting, I moved everything back to my card. I then partitioned my card. I tried to partition first but got fed up when I ran into problems attempting to do so. Now after rebooting I was able to see about 1/3 of the apps I downloaded (I had almost a hundred and change- 16g card).
So, the question is: Do I have to reformat the card, partition, then put the files back on the card? Basically do everything all over again. Or is there a way to "restore" all my apps somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Did you transfer you ext partition? If not then you are going to have to redownload and install everything cause you wiped your entire card losing your apps2sd links.

What exactly do you mean "transfer you ext partition"?
After messing around some more.......
I connected the usb to my computer, copied the "whole sd card" to my desktop, transferred everything back to my card after after wipe, format and everything.
Now when I go into a file manager, which I had to download again, I can see all the apps are on my card.
How do I get them in the "app tray or app launcher", I think it's called.
And when I go to settings, application whatchamacallit, I see my card is partitioned. I use Amon-Ra partitioning thing.
Hi guys,
I'm planning to get a new SD card for my G1 to replace my current 4GB SD Card.
Currently, I'm running Cyanogen 5.0.8 DS and Apps2SD.
If I change to a new SD card, will anything be lost? or is there anything that I will have to take note of in particular?
Thanks!

Yea same. i wanna use a 16GB cause my 4GB is almost full. and i dont want to lose all my apps i have installed from Apps2SD. cause ik in ubuntu when u mount it shows the the partition part of the SD card. but idk how i would transfer apps from my 4GB to my 16GB
You will lose all your applications on your SD card, which should be 98% of them. To prevent this from happening, go to the Market and download an application called Backup for Root, it is free. Check APK's and anything else you want and hit backup. The backup will be created on your (old) SD card. Take your SD card and put it in your computer and open it up, you will see that there is a new folder in it called Backup, copy the contents onto your computer. Put the new SD card, fully partitioned, into your phone. Go to the market and reinstall Backup for Root and also place the contents from the backup folder onto your new SD card, check all that apply in the application and hit restore.
Another option:
Using your recovery image, create a backup using Nandroid or BART (I use BART). The backup will be on your old SD card. Take that backup and put it on your computer. Put the BART/Nandroid backup onto your new SD card into your phone and through the recovery window restore it. Make sure your SD card is partitioned in the exact same way, I have not done this method before so be careful. However, if this method works it will ensure that all applications stay intact as opposed to the previous method where some applications just seem to break, it is inevitable.
After toying around with CM7 via sd card for a week or so, I decided to take the plunge and install it onto internal memory. Prior to doing this, I performed a Nandroid backup via CWM and saved that file onto the sd card and my computer for safe keeping.
Once the install of CM7 to the internal memory was complete and my apps were restored, I was wondering if there's a way to restore my game saves from my cwm/nandroid backup file? Is this possible or should I have done something different prior to nuking the sd card install?
My world isn't lost since I could start each game anew, but it would be nice to continue at a saved spot...
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
Did a search and didn't really find an answer.
A couple of days ago my Nook all of a sudden doesn't recognize my HP 16gb SD card. So I took it out, rebooted the Nook and everything was fine again.
Now this morning it doesn't see the SD card again and now it's telling me that the SD card is damaged. I can't even do a Titanium Backup because it can't get to the file on the SD card. Is there anything I can do or is my SD card hosed? I'd HATE to lose all the stuff I have on the card.
Sounds like you are running a bootable SD. Can you boot into recovery if you put the sd in and use power + n? If so you might be able to make a nadroid backup.
Have you tried the card in a pc and is it recognized that way? If so you might be able to pull your last backup file off of the card. It might not be everything you have now but depending on how often you backup could get you most of the way there.
If you can get a backup either way, save it to your pc format the card start from scratch and then use the backup to restore to where you want to be. It is a good idea to make frequent backups and save them to a secondary location (e.g. dropbox or the pc) for this very reason.

No I'm not running a bootable card. The only way I even noticed that something was wrong was when I couldn't access my books with the Nook app. I'll try reading the card on my PC when I get home from work today.
I'm getting the same thing here. 8GB and not booting from card.

Try to find some way of throwing it into a computer. See if a friend has A media card reader and a micro sd to sd adapter. If that doesn't work you might be sol. You should still be under warranty so you can get a replacement. Backing up important information though is a priority though. No matter what, back up

I had the same thing recently. The computer could see the card and even the files at first but couldn't do anything with them. After I gave up on copying the files off the card I tried to format and that wouldn't work either. I hope you guys have better luck than I did.
My sd card just formatted itself.
Last thing i remembered is that my musics in my sd card, my phone couldnt read it. so i took it out. put it back in the phone, bam the entire sd card got erased.
is there anyway to get those things back? more importantly my photos

Try some free data recovery software. Google it, and use a card reader on your PC to help, but it does not look good.
Thanks for your reply.
Ive actually did that and got trolled by this program. After scanning all the files, it asked me to purchase the program in order to get the files back. I got fed up and reformatted the sd card and start from scratch.
Right now I'm facing one issue. After putting stuff back into the sd card, I unplugged it and the sd card un mounted itself. I pulled it out and plug it back in with restart and all and the phone still cant read it.
Is it the sd card problem or my phone?
Or what else should I do?
Thanks on advance.

There are plenty of good free ones that dont do that, however, if you have now formatted the card all the information is lost.
Which format did you format it too? Make sure its FAT or EXT2, 3 or 4. The best bet is to format it in recovery.
I knew it would be a problem if I reformat it, but I was really fed up certain programs like those. I didn't want to waste time so I chose to reformat it.
My first attempt with FAT didn't work, and tried the others as well.
This morning I reformatted and stick it into the phone and erased every thing on the sd through the phone again. And now it seems to work fine.
Somehow the first few tries the phone reformatted the sd even when I did it through the computer already.
Anyway, thanks alot buddy
