Hello all. Is there a way to remove the internal SD card so it won't be wiped when I do my updating? and if so how? Thanks
Umm copy it all to your pc before you update. Or root and backup with tibu if you are talking about apps. The internal sdcard can't be removed and the phone still be able to work, it's a 16gb flash drive that also contains the os. That would be like taking the hard drive out of your computer to update windows.
thanks . I finally figured that out. Can someone get me a link to SuperOneClick v1.7 . I'm trying to get the one that has the rage option. thanks again

Wondering if anybody here can help me out. I was cleaning out and backing up my SD card yesterday. Since then I have not been able to install anything straight to my SD card (installation unsuccessful error).
Apps will install to the phone and I can move them back and forth if App2SD is enabled. This is only a problem when space is low and it automatically installs to SD. Did I delete something needed on the SD card? Am I just stupid?
Nexus One - 2.2
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. cannot update an app that is on the sd card. Also cannot download an app that installs directly to sd card (for instance angry birds, had to start phone up without sd to install then reinsert sd and move app there. Using nexus one unrooted 2.2 if anyone knows a way to fix this please let me know
Update: okay so i moved all of my files to my computer from my sd. Formatted the memory card. And now it works again
Basically, what the title says.
There are a lot of data recovery applications if you search Google for "data recovery sd card". Not sure how well any work and someone may have recommendations but definitely don't write anything else to it

Try Recuva using a deep scan to try to recover any files you can. No guarantees.
You can recover data from sd card with card recovery software, see this solution: sd card data recovery
helped me last time.

Though recuva is very good in retreiving files from fromatted media, it is not the answer to his question.
His question was: Is there a way to UN-FORMAT a microsd card.
Recuva scans the formatted card, finds files and asks for a place on your PC to place the found and restored files in. Recuva does this job very well. BUT one thing recuva does not do is: Restoring the Root-tree.... And that suuuucks badly because you now have a map whit 100.000 files in it. Some sub-maps filled with files but you are not able to rebuild the tree to place it back to the SD memorycard.
So therefor i think the O.P. asked if there is a way to UN-FORMAT a microSD card...
And the question is still unanswered.
(Yes i can google, so that is not the answer where we are waiting for.....)

I was hoping someone has a broken internal memory card (not hoping).. and has been successfully able to run firmware off an SD Card?
If so could you spare time guiding me how you managed to do so, and if you realy could just copy and paste the contents of your SD Card into a folder - so I may be able to test it on my phone to see if it turns on again.
It is currently in the boot loop. =\
Thanks in advance.

Search the forums, I have seen a couple posts about broken internal memory.
Hi,
I am trying to access my internal SD card to backup my data before running a repair in pc companion but having terrible difficulties. In windows 8 via pc companion windows explorer just hangs and the most I have managed is to copy 300mb for 4gb from the phone. I cant even see or get my device seen in Ubuntu. Is there any way at all to get this part of my phone to be seen as mass storage like the external SD card is. I have been trying for hours and searching the internet with no success. All I want to do is back up my data so I dont loose it during the repair process.
Thanks
Lee
Think I have got my windows8 pc working on the transfer but says will take 23 hours!! Surely everyone doesnt go though this when doing a repair each time there must be a simpler solution I am missing here....

Issue still stands, however temporary solution of using es file explorer to copy all my internal sd card over to some space I freed up on my external sd card. out of curiosity can someone actually confirm whether or not I am wasting my time? Do the restore process actually completely wipe my internal SD card?

No, Nothing on either SD card is touched in an update or a repair from PCCompanion.
In an update only system partition is deleted
In a repair system and data partitions are deleted.
Internal and external SD cards are always left alone.
Nice one cheers for that clear up, I have alot of experience with Android but my first device with internal sdcard, warnings on PC Companion are a bit vague, didnt know if to be safe sony would just wipe the entire device during a repair which is a rather big bit of overkill I thought. Thanks for clearing that up. Still hunt for an ideal solution so access that sd card from a pc though grrrr
Hi there,
I recently got an 32 gb sd card but have just realised that apps such as Deezer will only use the phones internal phone storage.
I think my only option is to somehow get the phone to use the SD card as it main memory - will this work? Will I have to root my phone?
Thanks
...also, what would be the easiest way to root the phone? Will motofail2go be the best way and should it work with Jelly Bean?
thx
mount sd
Ok thats easy, what i used was this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928509 (only works on ics) and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369 (onlt works on jelly bean) just make sure to have recovery installed. Those are for root. And for how mount sd card i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123369 (just look for your model)
thanks - but I think you copied in the wrong link for the sd card part?
so I rooted and used this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2022727
and it worked...(I see 30gb data through camera/deezer etc)
however...
I can no longer access my Settings!! any ideas!? It just says settings cannot be loaded
sorry..i can access settings...i just can't access the storage part of it...should i be worried?
If it won't cause any other issues, I can live with it...
