Hi all.
Is it possible to unmount and remove an SD card when using CM v4.0.2 with a partitioned SD card, and CM v4.0.2 is running A2SD, while the phone is on? I just can't seem to figure it out. The unmount button is "greyed out".
If so, please let me know how.
Thank you.
i have the exact same problem....my pc wont even recognize the phone anymore....i'm trying to get the usb pop up on the phones notifications n nuttin happens
As I am tinkering, I think it has to do with the A2SD that the rom supports.
Obviously we cant be removing a card that the system is using.
I can still mount when I plug into my PC, but most/if not all(haven't tested all) the apps wont run, I get a "Please Check Your SD card" message.
I would just like to hear from someone more experienced than me(newb) to back up what I am thinking to be true.
Thanks
It's kinda weird, you can't unmount the card because you'll have issues, but on linux it mounts ext too, so you can modify the contents while the phone is running. Although whenever I've tried it's caused loops ><
@Teflon - Try using usb mode in recovery: go to the console and type to mount "ums_enable" and "ums_disable" to unmount.
Hi!
I would like to be able to remove the SD card from my phone.
I can't do it right now b/c I have Apps on SD configuration.
Is it possible to kill all running applications and to unmount the SD card?
I don't see any reason why not, but has anyone tried it already?
Thanks
The safest method imho would be to 'power off' the phone, remove card, boot phone. Cumbersome - maybe - but it's a trade-off with the excellent App2Sd.
I believe it is swap that is not allowing you to unmount/ mount to the computer, try disabling swapper and then try or download and burn an ubuntu live cd and use that to acess it, I can make changes to my ext3 partion while it is mounted in ubuntu. But I never had a problem mounting untill I started using swap which I would have to turn off to mount
Born, must of us have our dalvik-cache running off our ext partion so even if you killed all apps you could still corrupt your card
Im looking for a way to access the files on my sd card through the shell in the bootloader, i ask this becasue i dont have a compatible card reader and i need to copy some files onto the card to flash as my android wont even boot up.
I tried mounting he sd card
mount sdcard
but this just mounts the card on the android, i need it to be mounted on my system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Sud0x3
Is ums_enable what you are looking for?
I gave it a shot, didnt work but i just got myself a new reader.
ok so i have honeycomb flashed to my sd but i still want to use it as a sdcard and i know the honeycomb is on one partition but i want to acces the other one with my pc cus i can acces it with astro but my pc will olny acces the partition that honeycomb is on
I have an 8gb SD card with Honeycomb v4 on it. I imaged with winimage.
I would like to modify the partition, so I can see the SD card with my pc to easily move over videos, etc. I have minitool partition manager, but need to know which partition to manage to be able to access sd card in the nook or card reader.
This may not be a big deal to me if it is more trouble than it is worth, since bumping my auto nooter'ed (3.0) to 1.1 ghz, I am pretty happy.
Just wanna play with HC. Also, Some apps I want only seem to work on nook with HC.
You need to run NookColorUMS to mount the partition before it will show up on your PC.
I think It all started when I using linux to access the sdcard of my p970 2 days ago. I tried to rejected it safely but the computer said some error so I just unplug it anyway.
After that there are some unusual thing such as missing app.
Just then I found that the phone said "The sdcard is either empty or android cannot read this type of sdcard format..."
I used a card reader to check my sdcard but it is broken, so I do a quick format to it.
After that I want to do a clockworkmod recovery backup but it failed with a message
Waiting for SD card to mount (20s)
Waiting for SD card to mount (19s)
Waiting for SD card to mount (18s)
...
Waiting for SD card to mount (1s)
Cannot found SD card marker....
then it failed.
What should I do? I want to make a clean reinstallation.
try accessing to it by an usb adapter. copy datas if possible, then format. if you can't access to it at all, it means it's dead. if memory sectors become unreadable, it's dead.
I've borrowed my brother's sdcard...it works just fine.
So I guess the sd card is broken
In addition, when I checked it on the PC, I can do quick format successfully but the full format failed every time
be sure filesystem is fat32 and well partitionned (unique partition) . quick formating is enough.
if windows is dalaying the access to the card, it probably means the card is corrupted or dying
