[Q] [CM7 2ndboot] Sdcard Can't read on my PC - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hy guys, i've just install CM7 2ndboot, it's work fine n I like it #thanks kabaldan:victory:
but I Have problem, When I connect my miles to PC using usb cable, and select memory card access. nothing happen.
my PC can't read my SD card. I dont find these probleme when using CM6
Anyone can please give me a solution??
thanks

Which filesystem are you using on your sdcard? (fat or ext)
If ext, then you can see it from any linux os but from none of the windows.
If fat, then you should be able to see it.
Does you os plays any sound effects when you select memory card access?
If yes, then i maybe disconnect and connect your phone to the pc will solve the problem.
If no, then i would try to disconnect and reconnect is and if nothing happens after a several time, i would try usb mode from OR.

Sometimes it takes some time - did you wait for at least 30 seconds?

Maybe you should disable the ADB Debugging and try if it solves the problem.
If it doesnt, you should try from a differend rom. Like cm7 withount 2ndboot or cm10.
If it doesnt work from any rom, then i guess it is hardware related problem not software.

Yes, try to disable USB debugging first,
Alternatively, format the card. Try with SD Formatter then create desired partitions with some partitioning tool. (first one FAT32, an optional (except for CM10) second ext3/ext4 and the last one is highly optional)

Disable USB debugging can't help still not working
try another ROM, it mean ishoud using OR without 2ndboot, and flash old ROM (CM6) ?
I would try SD fOrmatter
Wait for the report

I forgot to mention but I hope you know - formatting is a destructive process. Make backup.

thank to mention that, but don't wory, there no importan thin
I've just tried using CM6 without ext partition. and i can read the sdcard well.
is that posible because i chose primary partition when create ext3?
I would try to partion my sd card with logical ext partition.
owh, i've just see CM10 thread, i would download soon
One more question, :is that realy need to install gapps?
what would happen if i don't install?
Can i chose gapps just that i need from market? is the result same when i install from kabaldan gapps gave?
btw, sorry 4 my bad english

All partitions should be primary.
There is a slight posibility that Play store is installed by gapps

thanks guys..
problem solve.
I've just reflash my mey, and problem solve.
It's look like i forgot tu erase or something ike that when update from 7.2.0
BTW, its still can't read from card reader at my laptop. it's normal?

[HOWTO]Change SD with app2sd

Upgrading/Changing of memory/SD cards while using App2SD?
Here's how.
What you need:
-Rooted
-Drellisdee's ThunderG custom recovery(preferably v1.2)
-Card Reader(Optional)
Steps:
-Boot into recovery
-In recovery menu, select "Backup/Restore" then "Nand + ext backup".(If you are using an ext4 app2sd partition, ThunderG v1.2 is a MUST)
-Now with any means suitable to you, transfer the "nandroid" folder found on your SD to your PC.(the easiest way is to mount USB-ms via recovery, but for some reason this option doesn't work for me)
-Now turn off your phone and insert the NEW SD.
-Boot into recovery again and partition your new SD(for app2sd).
-Now again, with any means suitable to you, transfer the "nandroid" folder you just copied to your PC back to the new SD.
-In recovery menu, select "Backup/Restore" then "Nand restore", choose the file to restore(in most cases, there is only one option)
-Wait for it, now reboot.
-Enjoy!
Custom Recovery
ThunderG v1.2
man! you woke up early for this?
kudos!!!! now everyone can happily change/upgrade their cards...
(the easiest way is to mount USB-ms via recovery, but for some reason this option doesn't work for me)

now this doesnt seem right... i mean, it has to work.
hhmm.. mine does. im on thunderG too.
maybe youre lacking drivers for it.... have you checked you device manager?
------------------
EDIT ok i get it. i dont have the V1.2 will try to install later on.
maybe the new recovery has the problem.. and not your PC...
---------------------------------
more EDIT
ok ive just installed V1.2 and yes i can confirm that the USB toggle under recovery works for me.
now the next thing to try is upgarade to a higher capacity card... *lol*
nice one Ungaze!
lol, up late seems more like it.
usb-toggle issue might be usb driver related.
havent flashed the firmware yet so i didnt have the need to install the drivers as well.
i also used this method to revert my app2sd partition from ext4 to ext2. so it also works with different partition filesystem, someone can maybe test if it also works with different partition size.
thats backing up and restoring right?
maybe ill try it on ext4...
anyway, why convert back to ext2? is there any significance?

was doing a test, and speed-wise there is a slight improvement. about 50 - 80 points on I/O using quadrant. Although really unnoticeable and I don't really rely on quadrant that much, performance seems to be just the same.(OptimusXrom maker domenic_s also uses ext2).
i see.. maybe one time ill try to do ext2.. hehehe
theres not much happening with our O1 today ei?!
so i need to do something... hehehe errr experiment on something...
*lol*
now thats weird.. after rebooting the second time to recovery...
i cant find my files under Flash zip files...
seems like only system folders are installed....
I just used EASEUS Todo Backup to clone old sd card (with partition ext 4, i think) to new sd card.
It copied everything on the old sd card to new sd card and it works flawlessly.
The software is free for home user.

good for you. just sharing how I did it since changing SDs are becoming pretty common nowadays.
ungaze, after installing the recovery...
and rebooting it via adb, i can still access the files on my sd card. like for example i want to install a new theme etc etc using Flash ZIP menu on V1.2
but after rebooting the second time.
i cant see the files anymore... just folders....
im not into changing cards. but i just want to install something using V1.2 recovery.
and somehow i cannot see my zip files inside Flash ZIP menu.
thats the place to look for when i want to install flashable zips right?
I see, I think I know what you mean.
One of the new features of ThunderG v1.2 recovery is the ability to recognize folders when choosing a zip file to flash. Well that's good, but the problem is that it still doesn't have the option to scroll down when the screen/list is full(or maybe I just havent found out yet). I also had this problem before, so what I did was to make a new folder with a higher alphabetical priority name, eg: "aaflash", "aflashfiles", "1flash" etc so that the folder will always appear at the top. Then I placed all my zip files into that folder and just open the folder when I need to apply something. Try it, the files should appear.
yap. someone told me that too... and so i did.. and yes it can be read...
but we can still consider that a bug.
and i think the author needs to edit that part.
anyhow. its working fine....
What does this do? Is this the way we can move all our apps to sd card??? Please im desperate

Actually, I can't really call it a convertion, I just backed up the SD contents, format it, repartition ext2 than put the old contents back in place. Update: Ext2 on optimusXrom's app2sd doesnt seem to work, didn't checked thoroughly and app2sd got disabled. Need to contact domenic on how he did this.

No, actually ext2 is faster than ext3 ... i don't know how it is to ext4 but i'm using ext2 at the moment.

Has there been any kind of notification telling you that your SD is corrupt?
Can you see your SD card in a file manager?
Do you even have an SD card? CM does the internal storage differently.

I'm surprised that Cyanogenmod install can be done without a physical external SD card.
It's mandatory to have an external SDcard to use Cynogenmod, even if your internal SDcard is empty.
There are complicated things to do as mentionned above to switch internal and external mounting points for Cyanogen but I can guess this can be tricky for someone not used to those things....
So:
- buy a sdcard, even a small one, internal sdcard still can be used for multimedia files and so on, and is mounted as /mnt/emmc (grab Astro File manager for exemple to see it) and is concerned by media scanning.
- flash back stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849) if you didn't made a Nandroid backup before flashing CMod.
- flash another optimized Froyo rom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849 there are some)
- Didn't try Paul Modaco's Gr2, based on official Lg leak 2.3.4, perhaps its mouting points are more conventionnal; but Gr1 pre-baked didn't went good for me as there were no SIM card detection (probably missing some APN related files or so...) so I jumped to CyanogenMod Nightly.
I just bought an O2x with CM7 RC1 already installed.The camera doesn't work (Please insert an SD card before using the camera) and my computer doesn't find the phone when i connect the USB cable(it says it's charging but nothing happens on the phone or the PC). I tried installing LG Pc Suite and the official software on the LG site(mobile updater) and the USB driver seems to be installed but nothing happens when i connect the phone.
What should i do? Should i flash a newer CM7 nightly or a stock firmware? (i have literally no idea how to do that, i'm going to have to read some tutorials).Can i do that if i can't connect the phone via the USB cable? Is there another way?
Yeah flash a newer version, RC1 is quite dated. In the new nightlies you can make internal storage replace the SD card.
You can update the drivers with the LG Mobile Support Tool, PC Suite isn't compatible with CM7.
I installed LG Mobile Support Tool, still nothing. The battery is "Charging" but nothing else happens on the phone/pc. Can i flash a newer version if i can't use the usb to connect to the phone?
Edit: The phone has ROM Manager 4.3.2.3 installed and when i start it: "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager."
I suspect you don't have an SD card, only internal storage. You can't use ROM Manager with that on RC1.
Try the drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...elease-103521-20110725/page__view__getnewpost
No, i don't have external SD card. The phone already had CM7 when i bought it. So i just have to download those 3 files and follow the tutorial?
I also found this tutorial and it has that AP BIN thing in plus. Which one to follow? I would be happy to install stock froyo if everything works on it.
Which one to follow depends on what you want for your phone. Personally I'd use CM7.
Ok , i'm gonna go with CM7. If i follow that tutorial(the one you posted) what exactly i'm gonna have on my phone? What does it do? Don't i have to install a newer CM7 nightly build?
This tutorial doesn't say what to put in the AP Bin box, i just leave it blank?
If you go with CM7 then you have to install via recovery, not Smartflash, completely different process.
Download the newest version from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
Save to your phones internal SD card
Update recovery (unless already on 4.0.0.9 or higher)
Reboot to recovery (can use ROM Manager for that)
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip
Select the CM zip and pick yes
Reboot
In the CyanognenMod settings, in the top option (i foget what it is now) tick 'use internal storage'
Reboot again and you're away
"Save to your phones internal SD card" How am i gonna do that? I can't use usb to connect the phone.
Oh, have you not sorted that yet? Bugger.
Try running mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard from the terminal, with any luck this will make your internal SD /sdcard and you should be able to download CM via the phone. You can also use ROM Manager to install it then as well.

[Q] After formatting internal SD with NTFS it can't mount nor format even with CWM

It happened after formatting it with NTFS (it was a temporary thing so I can use it with one of Microsoft services), and my device is working and rebooting properly without any error messages..So what can I do now to make my SD working again?
(I don't really need the data that was on it, I just need the card to work)
Thanks..

try formatting the card from within CWM, i presume if you boot up the phone you can't mount/unmount it and subsequently format it from within Android.
but i would try fromating it as FAT32 from within Windows 7 first, NTFS is not supported by Android to the best of my Knowladge...
Thanks, yes I can't format it in Android since i can't mount it, I've already tried formatting it from CWM with no luck, it showed this:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format...
Done.
And windows doesn't see the card at all when I connect phone to PC, so I can't use windows to format it too.

Turned out you're right, the problem is android not being able to handle NTFS properly, I tried to format external SD card with NTFS to see what will happen, and I had the EXACT same symptoms, but of course I removed from phone and had it formatted using card reader and it's working properly now with my phone..
xsenman
The problem now is that windows can't see internal card at all, I've tried one of format tools form the link you put, but it didn't help since phone "doesn't allow" windows to detect the memory, any other way to do it? right now I'm trying this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1724078
It seems like it isn't easy to install NTFS support from the link above (since you need fuse.ko file that should be compiled for both your device and ROM), is there any kernal that support NTFS or any other easy way to do it?
If you are talking about your external sd just format at fat32. This is standard for sdcards and your phone wil reconize your card..
Unfortunately it is the internal one..

Finally, I found a solution, just do the following (I tried it and it worked):
1. First install the drivers ONLY if you haven`t already installed them, also if you have Kies installed there is no need to install these drivers, but you are better off installing these anyway : http://dev-host.org/ZRA
2. Download this package (it includes i9000 stock rom+kernel+odin) : http://dev-host.org/RAE, if you have a Captivate or a Vibrant just download a stock rom for your phone model and find a kernel which has root and cwm in it.
NOTE : The next step will require using the 3 key combo for accessing the clockworkmod recovery and also the download mode.The 3 key combo used below is for the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000. If you own a Captivate or a Vibrant please click this link and choose your phone model to see what 3 key combo must be used, as it differs from one phone model to another : http://tinyurl.com/6q6ajpx
3. After you have extracted all the contents you downloaded and installed drivers, put your phone into download mode using the 3 key combo : volume DOWN + home button+power button, keep those pressed until it goes into download mode.
4. Connect phone to PC via USB Cable and open Odin (windows should detect the phone and install some drivers, after it`s finished you should see the message "Added!" in Odin which means Odin succesfully detected your phone so now you are ready to flash)>check Re-Partition Option>press PIT button and browse for the s1_odin_20100512.pit file, press BOOTLOADER button and browse for the APBOOT… file, press PDA button and browse for the CODE….file, press PHONE button and browse for the MODEM….file, press CSC button and browse for the GT-I9000-CSC….file. PRESS START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.
• When the phone reboots into the rom, wait for the setup wizard to appear and then just use the 3 key combo into the download mode again.
Close Odin and open it again> press PDA button and browse for CF-Root…file> Press START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.

No need to do all this.
Just:
- remove external sd card (if you have one inserted)
- reboot into CWM-based recovery
- mounts and storage
- mount USB storage
You will be able to see and format, FAT32, the disk using windows

I tried your method, but selecting "Mount USB" was throwing the error i mentioned in my last post. Though i solved it eventually. Somehow i ended up in the phone's own recovery/bootloader menu, had an option of "Low level format" there. Took around an hour or so .. but it worked :good:

[Q] SD Card and Data and Datadata blocked for changes, no flash possible

Hello all,
I've got a GT-I9000, which have a ugly situation:
- on starting some apps generally break down with errormessage (Maps, Mail.web.de and others
- any change in the system are not persistent (passwords are lost, new Apps can not be installed, Apps can not deleted)
- Changes on internal SDCard are also completely not persistent (nor Deletion or copy files on the storrage, nor formatation)
- complete wipe are also not persistent, but after a new start the smartphone makes a initialisation-Setup (asking for settings Google account and so on), but other settings are still there (background pic and so on)
- Wipe did not work over settings and also not over the CWM recovery
- Flashing did not work for the system. Tryed one file versions, and three file versions with and without 512.pit and repart. But odin (1.85) told everything was fine while flashing
- Kernel and recovery-flashing works without a problem.
- used actual drivers, Kies not running in system (shutdown via taskmanager)
- Downloadmode, recovery works. Access via usb is possible in running system and over CWM, but changes are nor persistent (so it is not possible to flash via CWM, because I can not store data on the SDCard, and I ve actual no external SDCard..
So after searching a lot of forum enrys I can see, that there are some other guys which have the same prolem, but I found no working solution. I think that there are the following possebillities:
- the NAND is brocken in some areas
- the partitions/partition-tables are not working right
- maybe the MFT is brocken...
- motherboard defect
- negative energy from space or aliens lives in the phone
So I'm interested in you thougths, and your ideas. I ve no problem to use Linuxs or windows tools, and it would be absolutley great if someone can told me that there is a posebility to recover the phone (other way of check the ram, partitioning in other ways and so on)
What do you think,
Best regards

IF its a hardware problem, you need to use a box or JTAG solution to identify the problem, so just try exhausting Software solution, till you are sure its a hardware issue.
visit My Android Collections downgrade your phone to the earliest version, Eclair ( but your combo keys will not work) so you need to flash the fix or try froyo or try the i9000 rescue kit with heimdall or recovery tools to flash
or.
get an 8 gig EXT SD card, partition it as a 2 gig and 6 gig in rfs /vfat format, try flashing the ROM with speedmod kernel for i9000
Thanks at first for your Informations!

So I'll retry at first the Software-way. But nevertheless I'm thinking about to buy also a JIG, because it seems that I flash more and more, and then it will be a good idea to have a emergency-tool to reach the download-screen. I've read sometimes that this stickers clean also the counter and triangle stuff, but I'm ot sure if this will also work for my new S3? (sorry, is a little of topic)...

Here I'm a little puzzled. If I understand it right I have to format the SD-Card with two partitions, and then I flash the Rom on it?? I've never heard that this is possible. If yes, Odin recognize this automatically? Or does this only mean, that the I9000 have then a external Storrage which may improve the flash-process for CWM?

Nope, what I am looking at is, its possible your problems could be due to internal SD card corruption ( hence trying to isolate it using your External SD card to perform as its internal SD card) , as such by using the external SD card, with speedmod kernel, which is capable of reading that as your Internal SD card. In other words its like switching the cards and flashing the ROM. Read this
BTW this will work when Internal SD card totally corrupted and I am not sure it will work in partial corruption ( as you indicate) but worth giving it a try.
also look at this
yup, usb jig will work for S3 too, and triangle away works only for s2 and up, and S does not have a flash counter.
OK, sounds as we have maybe a way... SDCard switch is something what comes not in my mind, so now I have a little hope
So as I can do that only later in the weekend, I'll post my tests later.
Thanks

Hello,
the external SD-Card could do the trick. I've startet in that way, format the ext-sd-card in two partitions (one reiserfs and one Vfat) and flash the modified firmware which was found in your link. Now I can start the Smartphone. but I have no acces to the SD-Card, but I can see, that the problem seems to be the internal SD-Card.
So now I'll try to use a custom-rom (maybe slim 4.1.2) and try to modify it in that way which was described in your link. If I will succseed, I'll maybe upload the package, or try to store it in the slimrom-area or whatever
By the way:
with speedmod kernel, which is capable of reading that as your Internal SD card

I did not find a option in the speedmodkernel for switching the internal and external SD-Card (K17). But I've try to find that while I have no ext-SD-Card in the phone, so maybe the option was hidden...
Thanks up to now, and best regards,
SP
There is no switch in speedmod kernels but it is designed to read both rfs and ext2/4 formats and partitions as such it will automatically read the available partitions as its internal SD card. And its best to use ICS or Jbean custom ROMs, when Internal SD card is unavailable due to any reason.
good luck on trials and do upload whatever here or on a new thread that may help others solve such issues.

[Q] Transerring files through CRM

I currently have no rom installed due to me wiping the cache and data. I'm trying to put the cyanogenmod 11 zip on the sd card by mounting usb storage, however it doesn't allow to copy it over to the sd and just says "discovering items". Upon mounting the usb storage it recommends me to fix the device as there are some problems with files, I tried the scan and fix options but it did not help.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

On some kernels you can use connection to PC when you are in recovery, on some not. I do not know on what kernel and recovery you are now. But it seems it is not working. So solution is to do nandroid restore if you made a nandroid backup in recovery. I suppose you did not, so now your option is to flash stock JB from Download Mode with Odin, and copy ROM while you are in system. Or use some other phone and put SD card in it and copy like that.

Mmmhh ... I'm so shocked and curious. Turns, to move files in CWM could be done to the PC. Is it possible in CM11, senior? (noob quetions) Maybe one day I'll need it.
Thanks In Advance..
Sorry, quota "thanks" I have exhausted, a senior. :angel:

Some of it has, some do not. I am not sure what version has it and what do not. I remember some version, maybe CoCore opens internal and external storage on PC automatically. But I can't remember was it CoCore or some else.

Actually it's something interesting, a senior. Like when Windows95 new entry in our country. At that time the system "DOS For Windows" is still very familiar in computer lessons in our education. (Developing Countries). So we can still do "Copy" and "Paste" via diskette in the system "DOS". I think CWM is almost similar to the DOS system. I mean, CWM will be very useful if a time on the android main system can not be done. Of course may be done through CWM. cmiiw.
