Hi, all..
I have an xperia X8.
after i upgraded it to s-rom gingerbread 2.3.3, there is a word said sd card safely to remove. though i have mounted it, but it always shows the same word.
what should i do?
no reply yet...hmmm..
any info?
nevermind..
i've figured it out myself.
i have same problem how did you repair it pls?
Try Full wipe in recovery or format SD card, also try with another one, maybe it's a problem in SD card itself, but then it will say "SD card damaged".
That ROM is old and it hasn't been updated. Try another one like GingerDX, GingerCruzt etc
i have GingerDX v013 but on FroyoBread it work normally
I am try format sd card but it is the same

Hello everyone!
This might be a noob question, but I just couldn't find the solution to it. I recently got my hands on an Xperia X8, upgraded to 2.1 stock. After a week or so i stumbled upon this website and discovered all the custom ROM goodies. So yesterday I had some time to dive into the ocean of custom ROMs.
I rooted my phone, got xrecovery up and running, made a backup of my stock 2.1 and then installed GingerDX v004. I have to say it worked like a charm... until i found out that GingerDX says that there's no SD card in the device.
The odd thing is that xrecovery and the backup 2.1 system all see the SD card properly. In GingerDX's Storage menu all the SD card stuff is greyed out except Erase all data which doesn't work. Tapping it says all data erased, but when I hook it up with my computer, everything is there on the card.
I've tried the following without any improvement:
1. Restoring old 2.1 system - reads the SD card correctly
2. Full wipe, battery wipe, reinstalling GingerDX - no change
3. Formatting the SD card, putting it back in - no change
4. Rebooting GingerDX without SD card and putting it in while the system is up - no change
5. Rebooting with SD card, taking out the card while the system is on - no change - except for the fact that it states "SD card removed" in the notification bar. If I reinsert the card, the "SD card removed" message does not disappear, so basically nothing happens.
So could anyone give me an advice on what to do next? I'd like to take my chances before going out and buying a new card ...
Thank you in advance!
Maybe it's a bug in v004. Try installing v005. It's up now.

Thanks for the advice, but it doesn't work. Not even v005 sees my SD card
Maybe your card is corrupted.

That may be, although I find it strange that it works with my card reader (PC) and 2.1 also recognizes it. I'll try another custom ROM (FroyoBread maybe) and another card.
Until then I thank every bit of advice!
EDIT:
I've found another person with the exact same problem, which leads me to believe the problem is related to GingerDX
EDIT#2
I've just installed FroyoBread v23b and it handles my SD card like a charm. So the problem is related to GingerDX. I hope it doixanh manages to fix it soon.
SD card issue solved!
After many tries I've been able to solve my SD card mystery.
Looking back the solution is quite simple, it appears that Gingerbread doesn't like an SD card below Class 4. My card was Class 2.
So I went out and grabbed a Class 10 SD card and voila it works.

i guess its 4 and below, i have a 4gb c4 card and have the same problem... now i'm off to buy a new card...
Make a ext3 partition
SD Card
Had the same problem with GDX. Went back to Froyobread, and now it's MiniCM7, working like a charm. Maybe is GDX and SD Card class...
Maybe it's a bug (or feature) with sdhc cards that requires a certain speed to work. The stock 2GB sd card that came with the phone works fine..

I'm sorry to dig up an old thread, but i've EXACTLY the same problem.
The included 2 gigabyte sdcard and a sandisk class 4 8gb works, however my 4gig card isn't recognized properly (in v0017 my 2gig card isn't recognized too)
Tried every Gingerdx build, and LinuxDX v004 with the new sd card compatibility fix doesn't help.
I looked up with Logcat and it seems that the sdcard goes from "No media" -> "Pending" - and then it suddenly stops, no "idle-Unmounted", no "Checking" and no "Mounted".
The Recovery-systems (both, cwm 3 & 5) of the FXP Kernel has the same Problem, even the included sdcard aren't properly mounted (i can view files, but after i select one it says "Can't mount [Path]" and then the sdcard unmounted, or it is always ).
I have two X8s and the 4gig sdcard doesn't work on both with gingerdx 17, or fxp recovery.
But it looks like it's not gingerbread or CM7 related. Minicm2.0.7 works fine.
Maybe you had china no-name card. I've that and I've the same problem in gingerdx, ginger crutz and gingerxperia v10 (in v9 it's working fine) and CWM 4.0.1.5 recovery.
I have a same problem, 16G > 10Class sdcard(China), MiniCM7 work fine.
I'm sorry i'm having the same problem as well but my sd card is not chinese, are you sure this problem is due to SD card origin??? also where can you know which class your sd card is?
[SOLVED] SD card disappeared in GingerDX
I'm new here and english is not my mother tongue so forgive my errors...
I had the same problem and I had to uninstall GingerDx because without my SD-Card my whole life was a lie...
So... I installed the 023b (I think it's called like this, but I don't know) and I had the same f***ing problem...
What I did:
FIRST OF ALL!!! DO A BACKUP OF THE SD FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER!!!!
-Reboot phone in ClockworkMod
-mounts and storage
-format /sdcard
(BACK)
-Advanced
-Partition SD card
-ext4
-1024MB (1GB LOL)
-IDK but I pressed 256M [maybe you should leave a comment about wich size is better (0, 32, 64, 128 or 256)]
-wipe data/factory reset (try first to skip this)
-reboot system now
When you set up the phone it will say to format the SD. Accept and that's it!!
It's working!! (for the moment)
Thanks! If I said something wrong or you can help more with that problem comment please!!!
(Ai apologise four mai bad englix)
Hey guys,
I just went through the process
of installing the gingerDX rom on my x8 with Stock kernal and baseband *****15. (i have CWM)
It seems to work fine, however i then noticed that it wouldnt pick up my memory
card at all, as in i cant mount my memory card but when i remove my memory card
it says "SD card removed please inserted a new one" which still doesnt work
when i reinsert it (i have also tried a new memory card)
I have already reinstalled the ROM done the full factory reset also.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Any chance you messed around with your SD card previous to installing the ROM?
Since you obviously managed to flash the ROM off of your SD card it seems as ClockworkMod was actually able to pick up the card.
What brand/class? There are a some rare cases where Gingerbread dislikes certain SDs or where the card was improperly partitioned/formatted.

Yeah there is a chance that i have, but i undone everything.
Also its a Micro SD 2G.
Whenever i Install an gingerbread or cm7 Rom 2.3.7 on my x8,
after it the sd card in the phone is protected against writing, only reading.
The phone dont see the SD card anymore , and on my pc it see the card in my cardreader but i cant copy and paste things from it.
When i directly connect the phone with the sd card in it to my pc via usb, the pc dont see the sd card also.
Then when i flash back to the original Rom, the SD card is back normal like writing and reading and my phone sees the card.
Also i can Copy and paste like normal.
When i flash to froyo pro 24 (2.2.9 android) the phone also see the card like normal.
Looks to me something in 2.3 android versions mess with my SD card and set it on read only...
Does someone know what this could be?
Thnx in advance,
Henk
what sd card do you have? did you try format it?
It is the standard 4gb card that was in the box from the x8.
I install the roms via this sdcard.
I also formatted it but that did not solve the problem.
there is no ''lock''on the card, and after i flash it back to the original stock rom with flashtool it shows the card with no write or read protection.
In android 1.6 ,2.1 and 2.2 till version 2.2.9 i dont have the sd card issues.
I checked mini cm shakira,
herodroid
gx stock
prime hd and 2 other roms based on android 2.3.
Some i reinstalled and full wiped after the installation but that made no difference.
(offcourse i always full wipe/factory before installing the Roms )
In''storage settings it always say:
-total space
unavailable
-Available space
unavailable
-mount Sd card
Insert a sd card for mounting
-erase Sd card
erases all data on the phone Sd card such as music and photos.
(This is the only option that is highlighted and usable, and it erases only files when i tested it, it dont format the card)
I also tried to unlock the read only protection to place the mini sd card in the cardreader but i can't find an option to unlock that protection.
It only shows the files on the card but i cant copy and paste something.
(Both in windows7 and windows xp)
Some of them are on Stock kernel and the mini cm7 on an naa kernel.
(problem with the naa kernel was that i could not update the fix after flashing the rom in xrecovery,
since right after the flash from my sd card to mm7 my sdcard was on read only and write protected........had to reinstall the stock version by flashtool again and install xrecovery again and busybox,rooting, to start after with the flashing of custom roms again.
All of them did something with the sd card that it is read only when i place it in my sd card reader on pc ,and its not visible on the phone.
With some roms i can access the sd card via cwm or xrecovery to flash an rom zip but sometimes it says it cant mount''e'',
which is my sd card.
After i flashed my phone back to stock rom via flashtool, the sd card is visible again on the phone and not read or write protected.
Also on froyo pro 24(android 2.2) i dont have this sd card problem.
Could it be that there is some kind of driver for my sd card so that my phone reconize the sd card?
I really don't know what this issue could be and im stucked on 2.2 now.
you're using 2nd ext partition?
if yes, trying to solve it and boot via cwm and format it using partition sdcard (advance > partition sdcard) you need to backup your data first
if not using 2nd ext partition, try format using this http://hard-disk-low-level-format-tool.software.informer.com/ but i'm not test it yet
maybe u must check and repair your sdcard
1. try with another sdcard
2. make sure if your sdcard format is FAT
or
3. backup your sdcard data to your pc, then format it!
it must be work
Your idea doesnt work

Maybe the ROM doesnt have the necessary drivers. Any idea on how to install them?
Go to following directory via a root explorer app:
Root/system /bin
Find this file:
Fsck_msdos
Delete & Replace with froyopro's disk checker.(same file in froyopro rom)
Yes,this is the file which scan & fix ur sdcard For errors in startup.
This must help u.

i had a problem with my sd card before, then, the memory was dissapearing. I got a new sd card. it was ok for a dew weeks, but now, i cant download anything or even move any file from my pc using usb, even when there is some memory left ! when i move a song into sd card, it stays there until I unplug usb, then it just disappars. Sometimes i cant listen to songs, see pictures or use some apps in sd card because they disappears, but most of the time it fixes after reboot.
any soliutions for this kind of problem ?
I dony really know about that. It may be rom issue. Some said that u must have some free space on sd card, u cant fully fill your sd card.

Hi xdo,
Can you give us info what rom and kernel you use?
In my assumption maybe your card is damage.
Please clarify some things for better assistance
rom I'm using is Froyobread v023b, but i used it about 4 month without any problems, kernel I'm using is stock one, I never unlocked bootloader. I dont think that the sd cart is demaged because it is almost like new. Today, remounted the card, rebooted my phone and i was able to download some pictures to my phone, but after a few mins i wasn't able to do anything again.
Did you formated it ?
Sent from my X8 running nAa and D_d piece of art called MiniCM9.
yes, i formated it before using. then, i moved everything from my last sd to the new one
try wipe it with partition wizard if it help...
Virus maybe?
You say you copied all your files from the old to the new. maybe the old had a particularly vicious virus and you copied it to your new card?
if there is a virus, what should I do?
hello, i've just installed that rom to my x8 too,(this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836116) im just wondering if u know how to fix my problem... ( after i install it successfully, my x8 does not recognize my sd card anymore.. it says in notification bar. "Safe to remove SD Card" but i didn't unmount it, i try everything like insert and reinsert the card, turning on the phone w/o the card then turrning on again w/ card, nothing happens... plsss... if you know something help me pls.

If i helped you hit thanks button

There will be better roms out there. Jellybean isnt ported to our X8 fully so I would say not to install Jellybean roms even ICS roms are also too buggy. Until now the best roms are based on Gingerbread like GingerDX or Kuyadroid. They are very stable and has almost all functionality. Or if you want to stick to your Jellybean then try a different rom.

Hi I have the same problem after installing the JBMP 2.0 rom.
The PC sees the SD card fine and so does a droid tablet.
Ive also reformatted it using sd format.
So im presuming this is a bug with this rom?
Cheers
