My exchange security settings hijacked my SD card and encrypted like half of it (this is an exaggeration), but by no apparent coincidence my SD card no longer mounts in order for me to flash a ROM.
what can I do here?

For some reason my sd card just started saying I have errors with it and it might need to be formatted. If I copy everything from the sd to the computer, format the card, then copy it all back, will it mess up any settings I have? It is able to read the card in recovery.

I have a HTC hero cdma on android 2.1 with the buffed rom & the other day my nephew took my memory card out my phone and formatting it thinking That would make the music save onto his phone (kids these days ) so now I'm stuck with this rom. What files do I need to copy to my SD so I can start flashing to different roms again?

Just add whatever Rom you want to the SD card and flash it. You should still have recovery even after formatting the SD card.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a copy of your sd card on your computer. But yea as the previous poster said copy a rom onto the root of your sd card amd boot into recovery. Flash like normal.

Having had an 8gb sd card fry in the last month, I can attest to ensuring you have a backup of some sort... (at least the card had a lifetime warranty through Kingston - I didn't have a backup though...)
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way to make ext sd card the default one and not the internal sd card? Cause right now, I can't restore certain backups from previous phones as the various apps wont detect. It can only search the internal storage, and is unable to search the storage in the external sd card.
Any app or setting that can do this?
Thank you!
An app like ROM Toolbox should let you browse to the ext sd card to choose a backup. Am I understanding your question correctly?

Hmm, not really actually. An example would be Whatsapp. It backs up to my sd card in my old phone. However, after switching to Droid 4, I can't restore the messages because now it backs up to the internal sd card and not the ext-sd card.
As above after every boot it defaults to r/o so I can't download anything until I change it to r/w?
Why is this?

Have you applied any vrthemes?
I had this happen to me after applying some vrthemes that had some issues and caused corrupted files on my external sd card.
If you have tried to apply a vrtheme that failed you can see if you have one or two vrtheme folders on the sd card one will be backup and if they can not be deleted then you will need to format the sd card to get it back to normal.
Just copy what you can from the sd card to a computer, format the card and then copy the files back to the sd card. That will make it back to normal
Ok I've formatted the card. Is it normal for the internal sd card to be r/o?

No it's not. You should be able to write to the internal sd wihout problems. I copy and download files to it all the time
Well I don't know then. I suppose I'll have to do a factory reset

If that doesn't help either I'd recommend installing a different rom
Hey, I am a complete novice and very new member. This HTC vivid happened to be my first android phone. Rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery mode on it. I just noticed that anytime I restart the phone, it sure will unmount the sd memory card. And before I can access my files on this memory card, I would have to go to storage setting and mount it back manually. It wasn't like this before. I guess the memory card on boot before. I have changed the sd card and its still the same.

That would be a ROM issue...
