[Q]Nexus One can't detect any sdcard - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone help me how to fix this problem. Before my sdcard keeps crashing, I just format it and its good again.but now My nexus one can't detect any sdcard. I tried sdhc of different sizes even sd only but still no luck. Problem started to happen when i install custom rom CM7...

Have another rom on card--put there thru pc if necessary
btw does the pc recognize card
if you have a known good rom on card, reformat with sdformatter with full erase and size adjustment on. partition card with 0 swap, maybe 1gb
with card back in phone wipe system/data/etc etc a couple times and flash new rom

Wow, reading comprehension test fail. Dude's phone does not recognize any SD cards he throws at it.
OP -- let's hope beyond hope that the problem is not hardware but software, something to do with the new ROM you installed. First, remove your SD card and reboot into recovery (if you don't know how to from within the OS, then just do this: 1) power down; 2) hold volume-down and power until you see the phone turn on; 3) choose recovery (either clockword or Amon Ra, if you have CM7, right?); 4) wipe data / factory reset). If it still doesn't work...you might be out of luck. I don't think you can actually flash a ROM without using an SD card...even manipulating the recovery through ADB requires that the ROM be located on the SD card.

I understood what OP said--
I am saying start with fresh card and then fresh install of different rom
I am not sure if he can get that far based on his comments, but I would try.
Can you still boot into recovery with no sd card? If so, as mentioned, do that with new rom on card, then put card in phone and mount it thru recovery, then flash rom after wipes.
Don't have a solid answer just options.
I have done every crazy thing I can think of to get phone back up and running and sometimes wasn't sure which step actually fixed it. Just that somehow I am still in the flashing business.
Definetly wipe system also------I do ALL wipes 3X--just my preference
And correct in that no SD Card, no place to put rom on N1
Hope you get it working Unleashed24

Stuck in bootloops, not sure what to do

I recently tried to flash Fresh Toast 2.1 and after 15+minutes my phone was stuck in a bootloop. I rebooted to recovery and deleted all the data and cache. Now no matter what ROM i try to flash it just keeps booting over and over. Anyone have any ideas? I was using apps2sd and completely formatted the sdcard, would this have affected anything? Also tried nandroid back up, but says "No files found" when I try to do so. Also when i try to format the sd:ext i get an error mounting sd:ext
In recovery try and format your sdcard with only a fat32 partition. Then try and enable ?MS-USB? and copy a ROM to your sdcard.Wipe data and dalvik and then flash ROM.
If that doesn't work try replacing your sdcard with another one.
Or you can push your ROM.zip to the sdcad through adb without mounting the sdcard
A2SD will only work if your sdcard is partition with EXT and swap. So if you don't have it partitioned then apps will install on your phone.
I gave it a shot but no luck, i am using the clockworkmod recovery 1.8.1.4.
I had the same issue happen the other day after a wipe and reinstalled rom... I have the same clock work mod you have also... what I noticed was that my phone only did that when I had the sd card in but once I removed it (after several hours of flipping out over it!) it booted fully.. but every time in reinserted the card, it rebooted.. so what I did was used paragon partition manager to create 3 partitions on the sdcard (i have an 8gb card) and made 2 Linux ext2 partition of 258mb or something close to it and the remaining was formatted at Fat32.. after I did this, I re-flashed my rom and everything has been working fine ever since... it may have been some corrupted files in the 2 Linux partition or something because I was running all my apps from the sd card and I had noticed the other day that every time I connected my hero to my laptop via usb, and launched pdanet, my phone rebooted...EVERYTIME.. and this is what led me down this road... If I made any mistakes here, I'm sure someone will correct me, as this is my first post...

Would you mind posting the steps to do that? Im pretty computer savvy but I need some steps to go from. Would I be better off picking up a new SD?
pulled the SD and it booted, thank god lol. Thanks for your help guys!
no problem... glad I could help.. as for the new sd card, you could very well just get another, but I managed to keep the one that I had but just reformatting it and re-flashing my rom (Damage Control v2.08.1) and it's been working fine since then..

[Q] sd card wont mount

Hello all,
Trying to restore my sd card to working order and im kinda stumped.Ive googled the problem and cant seem to get anything to work.
This happened after flashing cm6 blue rom and this was the first rom ive ever flashed. I used the universal androot method to root and rom manager to flash the rom. The rom works beautifully and I was able to go into recovery and flash ggaps even though phone isnt mounting to sd card.When I go to sd card in settings and click mount it say preparing sd card and then reverts back to safe to remove sd card. Any help would be great! thanks
Take the card out and Wen ur phone is on pull the battey out wait a few min reboot the phone back up with out then repeat this again this time wen the battery is out put the SD card back in reboot in recovery the home and power button way then wipe file ext and reboot might work might not worth a try

Do you have a SD card reader in your PC? Have you tried taking the SD card out of your phone, putting it into your PC, and formatting it? Copy everything that's on it to your desktop first, then format it, then recopy the files back to the card after the format. Then try putting it back in your phone. That may solve your problem.
Also , if you're recovery is reading it to flash gapps, then it may be the rom install. If all else fails, try a compete wipe and reflash

Thank you for the replies, I'm gonna head out to best buy and pic up a card reader and then ill try your sugestions. Hope this works!ill keep you posted.
Thanks again!
Its All fixed! The formating took care of it. Thank you guys for the help

[Q] Emergency! Cannot restore Nexus One!

Hello out there!
I sure hope someone can help me with this! I have rendered my phone completely useless. I have been working on this thing for the past 7 straight hours.
I upgraded to the 5.08 radio and then the MIUI_Au_1.1.28_R4_N1_EN-signed.zip
Everything was working beautifully until I decided to do a Nandroid restore. I guess I did not truly understand the function of this. After a reboot, I was back at square one.
I rebooted again into the recovery mode and then wiped and reinstalled the new rom. Now the new rom is giving me an error. I cannot get any network connectivity from it. I wipe and reinstall several more times and get the same effect.
This is when I get the idea to format and partition the SDcard from within the recovery menu. This was clearly not the best choice.
I cannot get the phone to restore back to factory anymore. The SDcard is empty. I have even taken it out. When it boots up it still boots into some non-working version of the new MIUI rom. No network connectivity. Where is it storing this? I have wiped everything possible. Played with partitions. I have tried hard resetting in the limited interface and in the Recovery console.
At this point, I cannot work on this any longer. My next idea is to put the micro SD card in another device and put original stock image on it. Is it possible that the new rom installed a kernel and that is what I am seeing? I figure if I can install a different rom from the SD card I might just be ok.
Any input into this mess would be greatly appreciated. Because I still have access to the Recovery console I know this is not the end for my phone.
Someone please tell me they know what is going on!
I would be happy to elaborate any more points regarding this issue.
It seems to me that I am not able to delete something because the new rom keeps coming up. Where is it booting from if I wiped everything?
I am at my witts end!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses!

If you can enter the recovery mode, you just have to enable the SDCard to browse it from your computer. From there you can push in the sdcard whatever zip you wish. Remember to wipe cache and data.
If you can't enter the recovery mode, go in fastboot and flash it again.
And of course, the ROM is booting from /system partition on internal Flash memory in the device, which you can't wipe without knowing fastboot/adb commands - which obviously isn't the case. Wiping SD card won't do anything, and wiping user data isn't going to help you either.
As already mentioned above, since your recovery is working - get into it, mount the USB-MS, connect to PC, copy a ROM of your choice to the SD card, unmount, flash it, enjoy. I suggest RTFM before doing things.
Gratitude!
Thank you for your replies!
I have been putting off doing this upgrade for some time and have been living with limited functionality on the phone due to the amount of time and research I would have to put in to make sure I cross all my t's and dot all my i's.
I was never able to get the MS-USB toggle to work. Windows XP would not show I had put a new drive in when I used it.
I remedied the situation by getting a microSD to SD adapter so that I could put the new rom on the SD card. I used the original microSD card at first and installed the MIUI again. This caused me the same results of rebooting a few times before it went into the rom. When it got in I had no network connectivity.
I decided I would try this brand new microSD card and put the EvIL rom 1.26 on it instead.
I wiped and installed the Evil rom on the new card and Walla!
I have Evil rom now working with network functionality. There must have been some kind of hidden garbage on the old microSD that was keeping me down.
8 hours into the project, I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE MY PHONE UP AND RUNNING!!!!
I hope others may find this post useful!
Many Blessings & Thanks!

[q] im about to destroy my nexus!!!!!!!!!

Soooooooooooooo many problems..
1) When I try to delete stuff off my SD card (music, movies, pictures) they will delete but then when I plug my phone into my computer THEY ARE BACK THERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) When I try to partition my SD card to get a Ext4 partition, all I get is errors.
3) When I put a ROM Zip file on my SD (from my computer), it is there, when I boot into recovery and try to install the zip; i choose install zip from SD card and it isn't there.
Why is my Nexus One trying to piss me off? I've never had issues like these ever!
My Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, and Atrix never did this.
If anyone knows whats going on and can help fix this BS, that'b be awesome. If not, then I will just take this garbage to the shooting range next week.
Your SD card is most likely corrupted / unusable.

Is there any way to fix it?
I tried the 4GB that came with my N1, and it doesn't have the same issue....
Do i have to buy a new one?
Try to format it in Windows.

Would disk defrag help?
No, either completely wipe the card or just get a new one. That's simple...
Wow, taking anger out on the phone when its the sd card's problem..
Try formatting it, not just deleting the data. If another card works then it is definitely the card. Stuff happens, just get a new card if anything.
if you are going to format in windows as Jack suggested, use sdformatter--
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SDFormatter 2.0.mht
format with full erase and size adjustment on
keep your swap at 0 when you repartition card when back in phone
if that doesn't work--need new card
also wiping system is important when flashing new rom. i like temasek's extreme wipe that is flashable thru recovery--
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/Extreme-wipe.zip
i still wipe data and caches after flashing the zip, usually wipe all 3x

[Q] Internal storage and ext sd wont read.

Ok first off I have read through a lot of different forums from here and different websites. Could not find a solution.
MY cappy was rooted and I was running cm9 on it for a while working great.. decided to give cm 10.1 a try. Well it worked for about 2 1/2 months. doing the updates that came out every day. Then the other I was playing a game on it. I stoped the game unplugged the phone from the wall charger went outside to smoke and went to check the phone. It was a black screen where it was semi light up though.
I of course tried hitting the power about 15 times no response. So I took out the battery and put it back in. It rebooted into recovery. So I hit reboot phone. Went back into recovery. Went in cleared cache and dalvik cache rebooted. Went back into recovery, so from there I went to install zip from sd card. there was nothing on sd card.
I then put it into download mode and using odin I brought it back to stock 2.3.4 after odin had suceeded it installed everything on phone. But it came with error no internal storage found. It booted fully. So then I tried heimdall one click it then did the same thing I cleared cache and did a factory reset. IT rebooted fully.
It only works when I have my ext. SD card in the phone though. If i pull my ext sd card out it will go into a boot loop. IF i put my ext sd card into another phone and back to my cappy Itll stay in boot loop. I have formatted sd card put it back into the phone and rebooted. and same thing. bootloop. So I then have to go through the process again to get it semi running. It wont read ext or internal sd card when phone is fully on.
So is there any way to get it to read internal storage again? Or even ext. I dont understand why it will run with the ext.
Any help will be appreciated Thank you.

Your issue is kinda odd, the only thing I can think of is the EU bug but that's on ICS and you said you were on JB. Either way, could be worth looking into, there's a thread for it in here.

Well I was on cm 9 then went to cm 10.1 4.2 I have no clue I looked into the EU bug tried to fix it no luck. I can put the sd card on it and flash the stock rom and kernel and it will run just without it reading internal or external sd card
the external sd card has probably got your .androidsecure hidden folder on it, possibly more. if your phone had the eu bug, then CM10 recognizes that and switches the mounts.
if you boot the phone, go into terminal emulator, type su, then type mount, and post the output, it would probably give us a clue.

No the android secure was on the phone, The external sd card was never in my phone but I was trying different things and if i format my sd card put it in the cappy then do the flash. It will work but as soon as I turn the phone off and put the sd card in another phone, It has no files. but when I put it in my laptop it says there is only 5 gb on it but it is an 8gb memory card. Then I have to format twice to get my full memory from it on another phone.
