Micro SD card dead - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
When I got my Galaxy S many months ago, just after UK launch, I then did a mod for the OS to run off the SD Card. I was happy with the speed and how it worked so intended to leave it as it is. However the SD card has crapped out on me so now I have a brick! I cannot even remember which version of the mod it was, there were so many at the time and I didn't intend to remove it. I am pretty sure it was the Mimocan fix from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724251. So how do I get the phone back to working stock, so I can start again?
Thanks in advance
noob with dead phone

Transcend 8Gb Class 6 SD Card Problems Please Help

Ok so i bought a transcend 8gb class 6 sd card from newegg.com and i formatted it and did all the correct steps (at least i hope) haha but all of a sudden my phone decided to freeze itself and just wipe itself OF EVERYTHING i turned my phone back on nothing was there all my stuff was gone thank god i still have my other 2gb card but the whole reason i bought my other memory card is because i wanted to use that one not my 2gb anymore. Anyone have this problem or anyone have suggestions? Im seriously considering on returning the thing because i read somewhere a MOD had the same problem and won't use this card again... I dont want that to happen with me. So anyone have suggestions,comments,help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you. PM me or direct reply to this thanks again all
well you could try flashing amon_ra's ra-recovery-dream-v1.2.3 recovery image (you can find it on one of the first few pages in the dream development section of the forum). Try reformatting/partitioning from this recovery. It's super easy. 1 click, no computer needed! Super handy when you gotta partition on the go! Also, I've been running a Trancend 8g class 6 for several months without any problems. Weird.
Thank you for the quick reply going to deffinately try out amons recovery with that and see if that fixes the problem.

Help me

Ok i have a problem.
i have a rooted sprint htc hero with modaco 1.1
i went to do a weekly nandroid backup and i restarted and after my phone says it no longer recognizes my sd or any sd card.
it says blank sd card when anything nothing is in the slot.
i can no longer go back to the sprint the sprint
does anyone know how i can get my phone back to normal so i can take it to sprint
thank you for helping
I inserted an NTFS card in mine the first time I tried to use it. Make absolutly sure that your card is Fat and NOT NTFS.
you can check it by (on windows) inserting the card into a reader and then right click the disc in my computer and looking at the Format:
ok i went to sprint a little while ago and took my rooted hero back and they took it to look at it no questions asked.
i will post back when i get it and what happens.
They'll usually take it back as long as you aren't running anything that requires root that is obvious. I wouldn't go in with a terminal open on the screen thats for sure.
ok got my phone back and its fixed
they didn't care that it was rooted h even made a joke about it
and that is another reason why i love sprint
SD cards are working again?

[Q] N1 wont read sd card some one please help

Hello everyone, i just got the nexus one just to mess around with, its already rooted but no rom installed. My problem is that when I put my SD card in the phone and boot up the phone I get the message "SD card blank or has unsupported file system". I know theres threads on the topic but they seem not to work, I've also reformatted thesd card and nothing. Its a 32gb
Not sure of the brand, ill look and post it.
Try using a program like sdformatter and did you format to FAT32?
Try a different sd card to see if maybe it's the card itself that's bad
Yeah I tried sdformatter, yeah I tried formatting to Fat32, no the SD isn't bad,the computer recognizes it. Idk what's wrong
with sdformatter did you use full erase and size adjustment ON
i am not sure but a card may be able to be recognized and still can't be formatted or may be bad--again, not sure
Yeah I tried full erase but not with size adjustment on though, ill give it a try though. I know the SD card isnt bad because after trying to have the nexus read it, and I get the blank SD card error, I plug it into my computer and it will automatically ask me if I want to format the SD card because its corrupt, after I select yes the computer reads it just fine. I think it just might be the phone itself, I've tried countless solutions people have posted in other threads, and the phone is what, about 2 years old, it just might be slowly dying
understand--good luck

Does N1 support 32 gb cards?
The N1 does support 32gb SD cards, I've gotten lucky and it read it, but after booting the phone up again I got the same message in the status bar, I think the problem might be with the rom on phone I don't know what rom its running but it looks like its a completely stock rom, or it could be the way the way the person rooted the phone, and I don't have a clue on how to unroot the phone. Yes I know its rooted I'm able to get superuser permissions.
you didn't say, unless i missed it, did you try another card
if so, and it is rooted can you tell what recovery is on phone clockwork or amonra
Sorry about that, yeah I tried and still am trying a 4gb SD card, I didn't root the phone, but when I got the memory card to work I flashed clockworkmod, I was going to reboot into recovey but when I pressed powered button I could only power off the phone, so I did and was going to boot into recovery through hboot, but when I selected recovery it just showed the picture of the android with the black background, so I rebooted the phone and kept on getting the error message, idk what I did to get the phone to read the SD card, I guess just luck.
Do you have the android sdk installed on pc do fastboot flash amonra 2.2.1 or maybe clockwork has that option. If it it the first time you may need to delete a couple files to have amonra stick. Clockwork 3+ did have some issues for some. Or you can check wiki and flash the correct passimg and go back to stock and start over. If you have means back up what you can. Not sure of your problem--sorry
Well it looks like the N1 is done, it won't even boot any more, looks like I'll be phone less for a while...the problem wasn't because it was rooted, I got it unrooted back on 2.2.1 then it updated to 2.3.? And it still had the sd card problem, I guess it was a sign that the phone was dying...r.i.p. n1 lol
Thank you ruggmankc for trying to help save my n1
sorry to hear that--
bright side is great phones are coming out this year and N1's can be bought at good prices if interested

good luck on it--

HD7 reboot automatically & boot loader problem

Hi guys, I bought my first WM7 phone more or less a week ago. Returned home I updated my hd7 and it was ok.. Using the phone I saw that it reboot himself automatically sometimes and other times after the reboot he says me "Storage card not working"... I though that the problem was the update... I tried to downgrade but I failed this operation because I've never used a WP7, I had an iPhone... So.. I tried other times to downgrade but nothing.. Now my pc don't recognize the phone in boot manager mode (the colored screen) and it's not written USB or Serial on the bottom... I think I did a bad think...
Can you help me to repair my mobile?! What do you think i have to do for solve the rebooting problem?!
I also colled Htc support and they said me to send them the phone but I can't stay 2 weeks without my phone... My mobile is already under warranty for more or less one year.
Thank you very much to all.
P.S. Sorry for mistakes on my english hahahh
I had the same problem. It was when I changed my SD Card for 32GB. But the card were too slow. I changed the SD for another ( and faster) 32 GB SD, and it correct the problem.
But, when you change the SD card, you braek the warranty.
If you want to keep your warranty, you have only 1 choice : send your Phone to HTC.
Sorry.

[Q] Weird error

Hey guys,
I've been online searching for a solution a couple of hours already but i can't find anytbung about my problem...
Here's my problem:
I just bought the samsung galaxy ace and everything works except for one thing. I can't download anything from the internet (I've tried several browsers). The second i try to download something, it says that I need an sd card to download the file. I don't even have an sd card...
With my earlier phones i've never had this problem so i don't know how to fix it... It's just weird to me that i need a sd card to download a file especially because i don't even have one.
I hope someone knows/finds a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Edit:
I've already hard resetted and set the phone to fabric settings a couple of times.

yes brother you should have an sd card cos it is not a advanced phone which offers internal and external storage separately like grand or s4
so please insert an sd card
HAPPY NEW YEAR
