Ever since I went from Thrill Seeker 2.0 to 2.1 I've been having problems. The most alarming problem is that I cannot access my external SD card. Neither from the phone or the computer at this point. I've tried reflashing both versions but to no avail.
Is there any way to fix this problem without using the LG flash tool?
I lost everything, but this worked.
With phone turned on, I opened the back, took out the 8 gb card, then reinserted it. After that, the phone said something about it being an unsupported file system and needed to format the card. After doing so, it now at least mounts.

Well im trying to get back on the "ROOT" wagon but its like "something" is trying to stop me from doing so.
I've rooted once before but reverted back to Google ROM(stock). Idk if that matters considering I hav had my phone working fine ever since i reverted back about 2 weeks ago.
So yeah when i mount my phone via usb to my computer its detects it and all
but when i try and reformat it to FAT32, to put the Dreaming file on the root
its disconnects it by itself. and then when i put anything sucssesfully on the card and insert it to my phone(My G1 formats the card, leaving it blank)
So im wondering is it a phone problem or sd
Ive tried diffrent cards. One works but is not big enough to hold my info
Oh and i tried using a sdcard reader and it can format it but
once again my phone formats it
So any input, anyone
Have you tried a different SD card, or try the SD card in a different phone/card reader?
What rom are you on? This was a issue awhile back people were having. I can't remember what the exact problem was. Kinda like to say it had something to do with the kernel.
i edited my post to try and be more clear
window formatter causes the same thing with my phone but if you format through the phone it makes a fat32 partition try just formatting the card thru the phone then connecting the card to your pc dump dreaimg on your card and flash that way do not format with windows
still it doesnt work
i think the 1.5 cupcake
hides the DREAIMG.nbh
cuz when i try to flash back 2 RC29
with the bootloader thing
it says no image file
let me ask is the dreaimg still in the zip?
no im not retarded
lol
ive done this before
but the problem is( i think)
my g1 is hiding the DREAIMG.nbh???
because cupcake is on it
but then again anything you put on this card gets erased by my phone regardless of file type(Music, Photos, etc..)
and i dont want to use my 1gb micro cuz its too small
you think i should just buy a new sdhc card
Does anyone know why Android would see the sd card as damaged and the card be fine?
Like I turnoff usb storage and then it will not use the card but if I reboot into recovery I can mount it and copy files fine as well as put it in a card reader and it is fine there too?
Any ideas on how to fix this without a complete format?
Happened to me too once. Everything looked fine even in recovery. My pc could recognize files when I mounted and everything. But in phone it said damaged SD card.
I copied all files to pc, reformatted and all is well...
since there is no damage to the card there has to be another way to do it though. That is what I am saying.

Not sure how much your card worth for you but if I where you I would take the 5 minute and remove the card backup and format it...
Flash can easily get corrupted it usually happen when you move the card from one device to another without proper stopping and even for no reason at all!
Can you explain me why you think the card is good if the hardware tell otherwise ???
The first time I rebooted my Nexus One it told me the card was unreadable and offered to format it. Since there's no way (I can see?) to remove the card without removing the battery, I rebooted the phone, put it in my laptop, ran a filesystem check, no problems. Put it back in the phone and booted, haven't seen the problem since.

Because my computer has no problems with card at all. Data can be moved around and read just fine. Just the phone thinks there is a problem. I am guess that something is telling android there is a problem when no other device sees it. That is why I believe the card is fine.
Same problem here, let me know if you've found a solution
i've had that same problem. just fully formatted it..16GB card.
Hi everyone,
I am having a severe problem with my external micro sd card and I am looking for a solution. I will try to give as much info as possible here.
Last night I connected my captivate to my pc using USB mass storage. I forgot to disconnect the phone from pc and also forgot to press STOP usb mass storage on my captivate and turned my pc off. By the time I realized, it was too late. So, i disconnected the usb cable from pc. After a few seconds, the captivate's notification showed "media scanner running" as always and started scanning my internal and external SD card.
Just when it said "scanning completed", the phone became unresponsive and went straight to the splash screen. It did not completely reboot the phone but just went straight to the splash screen and turned on again. After turning on, it again started to scan the sd card as usual and the same thing happened again. It started happening again and again in cycles. So i took the battery out and restarted 3 4 times but everytime the phone started and scanned the sd cards (which it normally does) it kept going back to splash screen.
I was running mosaic 3 diet 2.3.3 rom at that time and decided to quickly flash again. So i flashed back to AT&T stock using 1-click ODIN. and everything seemed to be ok. I then, again flashed custom 2.3.3 rom using the CORRECT procedure but it started happening again. So i went back to stock using odin and everything was OK. SD card worked fine. I tried to flash custom rom couple more times with and without the sd card inserted but the issue doesnt go away. I also tried flashing 2.2 rogers STOCK but the problem is still there.
I then took my micro sd card out and that seemed to solve the problem (for custom roms). The phone started working normally again using custom rom but as soon as I inserted the sd card, it wud go back to the splash screen and do a mini restart again.
The only rom that didnt give me any problems with sd card was AT&T's 1-click odin to stock 2.1. no errors or splash screen restarts with STOCK rom.
i also tried different micro sd card but no luck. I tried formatting both internal and external sd cards too. nothing helped.
I hope i provided enough info. Please help
Thanks
can someone please help?
Have you tried mounting it in a card reader and running an fs check on it?

You could do what was started with card reader, and if that doesn't help you could format the sd card after everything is copied from it. If you don't have reader you could probably do adb to dump with phone off. I think it is pull/external.sd (not shore someone should correct me on command soon). To format it is control panel, hardware, and device managment. Then find external sd and format it. You should format with FAT32.( To mount external sd for that I think you could also do from cwm recovery.)...(if need help with any of that just pm me)

It may be different on android, but on my last phone it was highly advised not to format when using the phone as a card reader. I bought a cheap USB model at Newegg for ~$5 that handles more card types than you can shake a baby at. Its proven to be well worth the cash.

Have you tried running the USB mass storage on your device again? I know Ubuntu 10.10 has a cool appliction for formatting and things like that. Ive used it before to fix something, boot it off of a disc too.
Heres some links
Ubuntu cd setup page- http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
How to format something using Ubuntu- http://www.ehow.com/how_4929061_format-hard-drive-ubuntu.html
I would guess that the MicroSD is a FAT32...
I can and I have formatted the sd card several times. Both internal and external sd cards give me this problem.
I was able to mount usb storage once the phone started and while it was scanning my sd cards (which it usually does), i VERY QUICKLY went into settings, connected my usb to pc and mounted the sd card. The phone kept restarting(or going back to splash screen and starting again) while it was mounted. I also noticed that once it was mounted the sd card was completely accessible. i.e, i could delete/copy/transfer etc carry out all functions normally.
I formatted the sd cards using FAT32 (both internal and external too) but it didnt help.
However, after trying many times I was able to run my phone with the MOSAIC DIET III 2.3.3 rom and it has been working since then. But it doesnt work on any other rom right now, specially on Serendipity VII
The phone is working properly as it used to for now but I am afraid it will happen again when I flash another rom or go back to stock.
Any other suggestions?
Honestly, my suggestion if its under warranty us to flash back as close to stock as possible(wipe all caches, master clear, orbital nuke, etc) then take it to att, or purposefully brick it and tell them kies fubared it.

You did remember to remove your external sd card and sim when you did this, right?
I have been flashing since I've got the phone (november 2010) and I have done it numerous times. But I never took out my sim and/or external sd card while flashing any rom or while going back to stock. Never had a problem either. Maybe once or twice I did remove it but only when the intructions for a particular rom specifically asked to do so, otherwise no.
So, no I actually didnt remove the sim and sd card when I flashed back to stock.
Does it matter?
Yes, it can corrupt the sim/sdcard. it's more based on unluck of the draw. I did the flash to gb bootloaders with my sim/external in. I guess I got lucky

While not normally, Anything that is writting this type of stuff to your phone runs the chance of messing up any is in in the phone. I have had my extrenal sd wiped a few times when flashing
Hi everyone, I'm having a big problem with the micro-sd card... Some time ago, notifications stating that the card was incorrectly removed started appearing, usually after reboot it was ok for some time, then it would happen again. I tried formatting the card, running chkdsk and even replaced it twice, but the problem has got worse: now the card is completely unrecognized, neither in settings (it acts as if no card were inside the slot) nor in hboot (doesn't even try to look for PG32IMG, though I find that when I boot to the bootloader with the card in, there's a small delay between when the menu appears and when it becomes responsive) nor in the recovery (E: can't mount /sdcard). I'm able to install roms through the recovery by moving the file to /data and then mounting /data as /sdcard (fastboot might work as well), but I can't do anything else that requires sdcard (eg. camera, downloading files, receiving files via bluetooth and so on). At present I have Nik_Project_X v4.1, Clockworkmod recovery version 5.0.72 (if I remember well) and Revolutionary HBOOT.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Did you try different ROMs? Do other SD-cards work?
Like all good things that come to an end, even SD cards die...
There is no expected life time, so they can die.
Don't think it has anything to do with your phone or ROM, i suggest getting yourself a new one
Yes, I changed rom twice and, as i said, tried at least 3 different sd cards
So if your phone doesn't recognize any SD-cards it seems like your sd-port in the phone is shot... If u can regain warranty, you can send it to htc and if not, good luck finding sb else...
I notice same problem after upgrade to 4.0.4. For me solution is - smaller card and less files in it - 16GB got unusable, half empty 8GB works
That happened to me, it kept saying that the SD card was damaged. So I got it repaired by HTC and it works fine after

I still have that problem with 8-16gb sd cards, only work with 4gb card but that is too small for me, what can i do for that problem?
Even half empty 8gb cards don't work for me
Hi all, my incredible s was working fine till today afternoon when i got a 32gb memory card, and when i first inserted it into my phone it recognized it fine and everything. after unmounting it and reinserting my old 8gb card back in so i can transfer the files over, the memory card started acting weirdly and kept unmounting itself and the phone says "sd card safe to remove" some of the times. the 32gb card failed completely. my warranty is over as well. running latest version of cyanvivox, but that had never caused any sd card problems for me. rebooting did not solve anything either, any help can be given?
I would recommend copying all your files from one card to the next on a computer than turning your phone off, insert the card and boot it up. Should work fine.

had the same problem for monthes. I had gone through all the efforts to fix it like you.
finally I found a clue.
On the back cover, there are two pairs of pins which supposed to connected to
the terminals on the phone, which are not connected well. so I bent the springs
up a little bit and made connection well. (be very careful not break the springs).
then SD card show up right away. It's being working for days and no more
problem.
hope it helps everyone.
My sd card just formatted itself.
Last thing i remembered is that my musics in my sd card, my phone couldnt read it. so i took it out. put it back in the phone, bam the entire sd card got erased.
is there anyway to get those things back? more importantly my photos

Try some free data recovery software. Google it, and use a card reader on your PC to help, but it does not look good.
Thanks for your reply.
Ive actually did that and got trolled by this program. After scanning all the files, it asked me to purchase the program in order to get the files back. I got fed up and reformatted the sd card and start from scratch.
Right now I'm facing one issue. After putting stuff back into the sd card, I unplugged it and the sd card un mounted itself. I pulled it out and plug it back in with restart and all and the phone still cant read it.
Is it the sd card problem or my phone?
Or what else should I do?
Thanks on advance.

There are plenty of good free ones that dont do that, however, if you have now formatted the card all the information is lost.
Which format did you format it too? Make sure its FAT or EXT2, 3 or 4. The best bet is to format it in recovery.
I knew it would be a problem if I reformat it, but I was really fed up certain programs like those. I didn't want to waste time so I chose to reformat it.
My first attempt with FAT didn't work, and tried the others as well.
This morning I reformatted and stick it into the phone and erased every thing on the sd through the phone again. And now it seems to work fine.
Somehow the first few tries the phone reformatted the sd even when I did it through the computer already.
Anyway, thanks alot buddy
