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 have a 2gb sd card in my phone now and just bought a class 6 4gb. my phone is rooted so i need to know how to transfer my info form the old card to the new one. if i put the new one in and just partition it wont i loose all of my data since its currently saved on the 2gb card?
thanks for the help
i think if u run recovery..(speakin runnin ravs recovery)
first..
back up sd card..
reboot to recovery
pull out old sd card
put new sd card format...fat+ext2+apps2sd
then switch ext2-ext3...
plug phone to computer
run adb shell ums_enable
put your bacced up sd folder in the sd card from your comp
wipe
wipe
run chose .zip from sd re flash your rom.. cyan/or whatever you choose
then run fix_permissions
fix uik
fix ext permissions
adb shell ums_disable on computer to unmount sd
restart and see if that works..
thats how i did mine.. i dont know if its politically correct but it worked for me!
Thinking about rooting and installing cyanogen's latest rom but before I do I want to know what happens if I purchase a larger micro sd card in the future?
Is it as simple as copying everything from my sd card onto my pc and then transferring it onto my new card or will I have to reflash things and stuff?
Thanks in advance
yes, just backup to pc then new sd
if you're installing 5.0.5 cyanogenmod you may want to backup the sdcard first if you want app2sd
then in amonra partition the sd card with
swap partiton=0
EXT=512mb (or whatever size you want for apps)
fat32=remainder
then do the upgrade ext>ext2 ext2>ext3 ext3>ext4
then just put your backup from pc into the sdcard
only thing is amonra doesnt support the nandroid+ext for app2sd currently, but i believe is in the works. so would need to backup the ext and fat32 before swapping to new sdcard, depending how soon you're upgrading to new sdcard that is.
Cheers for that. Sounds simple enough.
Hi there finally flashed a custom rom and got cwm working still odin doesn''t recognize my phone anywhere and now my sd card cant be mounted and i cant even format it in my pc?
Its seen as on the phone and pc but not mounted or to be fromatted
Anyone have a solution or other custom rom to flash through cwm ?
``small edit:when i put in the sd card in other phoen sgs2 then it won''t boot up?
is sd card broken maybe?
Is then only solution to replace sd card?
When i put it back in the gts5570 i it says blank or not supported sd card.
Pleas answer?
use sdcard reader or another phone to check is it broken or is formattable.

hi all,i read a lot in these forums about the procedure to put a cooked rom in a samsung i9000,so the exact work that i did was:
1) root the i9000
2) from the market i bought rom manager premium 5.5.2.3
3)installed clockworkmod 3.2.0.0
4)holded vol up + home button + power on and booted in clockworkmod mode
5) i looked for the cooked rom i put on the external sd drive....
.....BUT when i look for it the phone doesnt see the external sd so im stuck here i cant load the cooked rom cause i cant see the external sd,perhaps i dont follow all the steps?????
please give me some help here im stuck since 4 days now!
P.S: the sd card works fine,im sure about it and the firmware version of the phone is 2.2.1 file is I9000XXJVE
thanks a lot
recovery mode
connect to pc
mount "internal sd" as usb storage
copy rom/zip/files
you cant install a rom from external sd on cwm 3.x or below so dowload this
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ndlAeElddhbDRmb0JvWTNmRlk/edit?usp=drive_web
extract it on internal sd then go to install zip from sd card aroma fm/ tmp/and theres a zip install the zip and it will open a file manager and then copy ur rom from externel to internel enjoy!!! also u cant install cwm from rom manager on our phone due to the recovery layout...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
thanks guys but i dont follow your help!
i downloaded aroma.zip installed in the internal memory of the phone launched it from the recovery menu but this sw is all mess up and i cant work with it!
i would like to know if i can install cooked rom from the internal memory of the phone,i guess not cause if i do so the phone will just hang up cause i can share the rom and the installation space right?
since im quite sure i cant use the internal memory of the phone i can only use the external sd card to install the cooked rom but it looks like u are telling me that i have no hopes to use the external sd card to install the rom so....what am i supposed to do?i cant use the internal memory,i cant use the external sd card so....what am i supposed to use???????????????????????????
thanks again!
I am not even sure why you made the assumption that you can't use the internal memory in the first place. The internal SD as it is sometimes referred to is separate from the OS. Case in point, factory restoring your phone will not wipe your internal memory.
So just use the internal memory.
-SOLVED BY USING ODIN, AND FLASHING A STOCK ROM-
Samsung GT-S5830
So i installed some custom GB rom a long time ago on my friends phone.
Now he gave it back to me because nothing was working anymore.
The problem is when i try to open the file manager in the phone it says there is no internal sdcard, furthermore in the settings at partition settings it shows me:
/system 183mb/ 206mb
/data 65mb/178 mb
/cache 4mb/ 25mb
/sdcard (FAT) 0.00B / 0.00B
/ext-sdcard (EXT) unavailable (not 1 in the phone)
As you can see, the phone acts like it has no internal storage at all wich make it impossible to put anything on the phone.
I have tried using ODIN to flash a factory default rom, but my computer does not recoqnize the device when i put it in download mode. so that does not work.
I however installed the lastest TWRP, to try making my own partitions in there but that also did not work.
after that i downloaded cm11, put it on a external sd card and flashed the rom.
this all worked fine, but still NO INTERNAL SDCARD.
I am guessing that my friend has been screwing with some files or whatever.
Anyone got any tips?

Why your sdcard have FAT format instead of FAT32?
Try to backup it using a PC and then format it in FAT32, but forget ext partitions for the moment

Sir, it is impossible to format an INTERNAL sd card just simply by connecting it to a pc. You are talking about external sd cards here. (that's just part of the memory the phone internal has, there is no physical sd card here).
Anyway, i fixed the problem by flashing stock rom in odin wich has reformarted, and partitioned, it correctly.
