Need help!

I have a HTC hero cdma on android 2.1 with the buffed rom & the other day my nephew took my memory card out my phone and formatting it thinking That would make the music save onto his phone (kids these days ) so now I'm stuck with this rom. What files do I need to copy to my SD so I can start flashing to different roms again?

Just add whatever Rom you want to the SD card and flash it. You should still have recovery even after formatting the SD card.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a copy of your sd card on your computer. But yea as the previous poster said copy a rom onto the root of your sd card amd boot into recovery. Flash like normal.

Having had an 8gb sd card fry in the last month, I can attest to ensuring you have a backup of some sort... (at least the card had a lifetime warranty through Kingston - I didn't have a backup though...)

[Q] MicroSD card error

I have a problem with my scandisk 4gb sd card
Every time the phone access the card, like when downloading, watching a pic, browsing through file browser ect. It afterwards fail to read the card, and says "no files" until I reboot. In other words, the card can only be accessed one time pr boot
I've tried to reformat the card fat32 32kilobyte without any changes.
Any ideas whats wrong?

Have you tried to simply remove it from the slot and insert it again?
You can also try the app "SD Speed Increase" and set the cache to 4096kb (allowing the program to set it at the startup) and see if the card goes better...
I think that this problem appears when two or more programs try to access the SD or the phone requests information too fast. Is there a way (i speak to the developers) to reduce the accesses to the SD?

Yes, unmount/mount is as good as reboot.
I've just tried the app and it makes no difference :-(
The card works just fine on the computer, and I've tried the card in 3 phones and doesn't work on either of them. Its there different micro sdcards where only one type works on the phone?

Additional info.
With the sd speed app, the card is available a bit longer, it's now possible to download or delete two files before the error occurs.
I've tested the card in a 2.1 stock ROM and it works perfectly

Under Settings, under Storage there is the option.
Be sure to save ur stuff from that external sd card to ur pc first, then format it.

Probably something with the ROM. I always had problems with sd cards on cm7 and both the ics builds. Kept losing the card everytime the phone went to sleep.

Now I'm on stock kk4 rom and its still not showing up...

No offense, I am only trying to cover the bases. But is ur external sd card being recognized under Menu/Settings/SD card and phone storage/SD card ?? And if so, is it mounted ??
Also, is the directory path /sdcard/external_sd ?? (u can look at My Files in the app drawer and see)

Update
I kept having this problem on kb2 and jf6. I swapped the card for one that had about 3gb of stuff on it and no more problems. Either my first card is bad, or it needs to have some stuff on it.

Lost Apps

Twice this week my Cappy has lost track of several apps. Their icons replaced with one of an sd card. I get a message saying that the app is not installed. I can restore from TiBu and all is well after the sd crd is rescanned.
Running stock GB with Corn kernel for root.
Any idea what may be causing this?

Are they saved on the phone or the internal SD? I'm not sure if that helps, but it could possibly explain something if they are on the SD

Yes they were all on the internal sd, but not all the apps on sd were affected.

Blank external SD card or cannot read file system

Hi, I just recently have run into this issue: getting notification that my external SD card is either blank or the file system cannot be read, and saying i need to reformat. I did, and still getting same error. Up until a few days ago all was fine with my phone and Sd card so very puzzled. Thought i would post on here to see if anyone has had the same problem or knows of a fix, before i reflash the rom or change roms all together.
Running:
SauROM KK4 with corn 7.06
Thanks
