Hi I did have a discussion with a friend of mine about one thing: after you rooted your phone, can you format the SD card or not? Once the phone has been rooted there are still files on the SD card that you need to keep or doesn't matter anymore what's inside it and you can format and then use Rom manager and install a brand new (cooked) rom?
I really want to see who's right here...
Thanks!

You can format it, the rom will make needed folders, when you will start it with freshly formated card.
Yes you can format it. Btw, no question in dev sections.

Might have a dead/faulty sdcard slot,old parts tend to fail.
ok what you have to do now is download this program called paragon partition manager jus google it n it should be the first link., after downloading the manager open it n locate ur sd card (also u do need a sd card adapter so make sure u have the one tht came with the phone or any onther in this case.,) after u have located the card patition it., to do this u have to choice how much space u want for ur ext 2 ., i choice about 300 to 350mb range leaving me with about 3.6gb left for my personal use., after u choice the amount u want for ur ext 2 start the partition it should be a few mintues., after tht put the memory card into ur phone check if it works., i did this same procedure n worked jus fine for me., hope this helps you out., if not post back the problem.,

any reason why a second thread (both created by you, on the same topic) is nessicary???
i gave you a few specific instructions last time....
first, repartition the card (using paragon, or a ubuntu live CD) if it doesnt work then you
can try a fresh format on another SD card... if niether work then you just have a faulty slot (assuming you are on a stable/Stock rom that you know works)
and YES FASTBOOT can recognize a card while the rest of the phone wont(personal experience), dont ask me to explain it, but if you had even read my last post in your other thread youd have know that......
your G1 is probaly just old.... get over it.... it was always intended as a Beta/Dev device....
and you HAVE been reported for spamming the forum with multiple threads on the same topic (in the wrong section this time no less)..... and dont ***** and whine about no-one checking the q-a sections.... it cuz fsck-balls like you spam useless ****
MOD EDIT - Please abide by forum rules and only post a query once. No need for duplicate threads. I have deleted previous thread

No clue what it's running for Recovery though but I'm assuming the CM6 rom comes with one? I'm waiting for a response from the seller.
Now I want to buy a new 32GB Class 6 SDHC card for use with this particular phone. But I've noticed that partitioning the card is an important step during the installation of said ROM? How would I go about partitioning this new card without bricking my phone? I don't need any of the files off the new card since the seller mentioned that he had cleared it. What should I partition the card too? I've heard anywhere from 512MB to 1.5GB?
What are some applications that I should be aware of for this particular ROM? I'm very new to all of this and want to keep the phone running decently well. I've heard something about an application with the ability to run apps off the SD card to preserve memory? Would installing such a program be simple for someone as noobish as me? Or should I keep it simple and just install everything onto the phone?
Ok. Well first off you have a lot of reading to do. Hope you like to read. I can tell you that partitioning your sdcard is done through recovery mode. You need to get in there first. Also cm6 is a rom. It does not come with a recovery. That is totally different. It would be good to know what version you have. I assume amon ra 1.7.0 but it will tell you on the recovery screen. What values you set it to are up to you but you can just leave the values alone when your doing it and it will give you a starting point. The rom will tell you how to save your apps 2 sd. You have to read the first post to find that info out. Good luck and welcome to xda
okay ive done the superoneclick thing, im now rooted. Ive installed the ROM manager and installed the ClockworkMod Recovery. What do I do next?
Do i have to make a nandroid backup?
Ive downloaded a ROM i want to use, but have problems with wiping the phone. How do I do this?
so basically
1. how to nandroid backup
2. how to wipe full
3. how to install my rom, fr17 vanilla kitchen unsigned
hope for easy help thanks
just reboot into recovery, either via rom manager or shut off and then hold pwr+vol.up untill you get into recovery..the rest you will understand, just read dont forget the rom zip has to be on external sd not internal, good luck!
yea then im ****ed, i dont have any other sd card than the internal...
then it not possible to flash anything
what if i borrow one from a friend? Can i put the rom on there, install it to my internal, and then use the phone all good? if yes, where do i put the rom on the sd card? it is a winrar, and in there it is one iso file, and 3 folders.
sure you can do that, put the zip file wherever you want and can find it
do not touch the zip file dont unzip or anything, just leave it as it is..
okay nice thanks Do I just use ROM manager to install it and then browse to it? Also I had a sd card thing from an old sony ericson, but it was just a little to big:/ what exactly does the optimus 2x use? Micro sd card?
yes you can install with rom manager but i preffere to bootin with pwr+vol.up no risk at all. and yes most phones today use micro sd
Is the rom manager's cwm capable of flashing all the custom rom for the lg o2x? Can i use it on mcr and cm7 for example? TIA
yes it works for all roms
Ah okay.
Hello folks
I opened this thread as having serious problem with extSD Card. During rooting and flashing process I accidentally wiped both int and ext contents. Luckily brought back my phone from grave as obviously no OS and full erase. I installed new OS with Sideload using Hasoon2000's All-in-One toolkit. Unfortunately I cannot bring back mounted ext SD card and also PC seen only Internal storage. This is boring as I cannot flash anything. More over I worry to reset phone because often freeze during boot.
Read plenty of threads and checked-out everything possible with no avail. I desperately look for viable solution help to bring back my phone to right order.
I am sure this thread helps many of us with identical problem.
Thanks for ideas and clues! :good:
Cheers. M. :laugh:

Any luck? Having the same problems.
Having the same problem.. External_SD card won't mount since i unlocked my bootloader, again.. NO S-Off yet. I have a custom ROM flashed via ADB Side Load... But as soon as i flashed the custom ROM, External_SD card was fine... Cuz my HTC One X won't mount either all of a sudden, and That phone's straight, no worries there... My device manager has the caution sign in portable devices... I wanna say it's my computer, but still could be my phone... I'm using TWRP recovery and i'm able to see what's on my SDCard through there, before that i had CWM and it didn't do ish for me... Any insight on this would be awesome..
I've had 64 Gb SD card in my Droid 4 and it has worked quite well.
Then I installed CM12 to my phone and after that neither the stock ROM nor CM11/12 cannot find the aforementioned SD card anymore.
I've wiped both ROMs off and replaced them with my stock & CM11 backups. Doesn't work.
But the strangest thing is that Safestrap's File Manager can find that SD card and I can use it there just well (flash & copy files for example).
So what gives and how to get rid of that? Should I wipe my phone totally blank and start from the scratch again???
Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance everybody involved.

SD card likely has some corrupt files or file system, may need reformatting

OK, thanks!
Forgot to mention that if I place the same SD card to my Samsung Galaxy tablet, to my Android TV box or to my computer, it works without any problems. So that's strange indeed.
