thats what i was going to do but pc refuses to recognises it.
plug it in to pc gives a sound.driver installs.....thats it.no option pops up on my x8 to mount sd card or copy files.
in x8 storage it shows space unavailable.
mount sd card grayed out.
drop down on the x8 says removed sd card. sd card removed insert a new one.
tryed 3 different cards...same results.
is there any way i can update it with wi-fi??

i dont know. there's got to be a way updating it by wifi.
have you searched google?

yes i have but everthing i attempt always says "you must have a sd card"..lol
which i have in but not recognized.
pc companion recognizes the x8 is plugged in but will not connect as "i must have a sd card".
if i take out the sd card... only then the gingerbread logo pops up on the x8 saying "copy files"...but wont because the sd cards out.

hmmmm iv never come across this problem before. i will have a scout around for you see if i can find anything

try disabling usb debugging
it solved my problem

ah ha
iv got 2 things.
have you got a sd card slot in your computer and a sdcard converter thing. try sticking the card and just the sd card (take sd card out of phone but turn off phone first)
2. i think its not just the lcd that is damaged. ithink something else happend that no1 else recognized

tryed that.....think iv tryed most things.

no card reader.
as for more damage than the lcd........possibal but it was pressure on the bottom right hand side of the display that done the damage..wast droped.
so im skeptical on that one.

result!!!!!!!
booted in to xrecovery/advanced/boot usb device.
i then fired up pc companion and everthing went as normal running the repair option.
i now have my sd cards working ?????....and a boring looking x8.lol
i would have to root it again to flash with gingerbread...right??.
still very confused what the problem was.

weird but at least its working again now.
P.S yes you will have to re-root it and probaly install xrecovery again too since it requires root access and install gingerbread rom again
good luck

ok thxs for your help
everythings back to normal now....includeing gingerbread.
i couldt resist re-flashing back to find out if it would be ok..lol and it is

If you can, post detailed information about your problem and the solution. This can help another people

try reinserting the sd card, clean the card slot..
if not
try to format it through a card reader and check whether it works.
if the card reader can detect the sd card you should try by resetting the phone.
Click thanks button if you value my reply :-D

The card slot is pretty sensitive, mine popped loose internally from tossing it on the couch. Kasvinda's advice is probably right on target

i can see my pics all the stuff on the card but when i try to download song or something keep saying need sd card

I had this problem the last time I attempted to install a ROM, which had failed.
The way I fixed it, I had to reformat the memory card in my computer, then in the settings menu.
You can still make a quick backup to the desktop at that. So you really lose nothing.

Can any one explain me how to format The sd card without loosing stuff

i tried that still wont work. could it be a rewrite demon on the sd. the cwm on the cm7-2.0.7 can read my sd i dont understand why the cwm in the ics kernel cant. ive put cm9 on 3 other x8s and ive never had this problem.

turn on your phone without sdcard first..
then use card reader to check your sdcard..check the format is FAT not NTFS
put those files in your sdcard..
after that turn off your phone, and insert your sdcard and turn it on again! :laugh:

mount sd-card
ok, i think i figured this out, and i have had to register in order to share my findings. i was having the exact same problem, bootloader unlocked the kernel flashed and couldn't access the sdcard.
what i did...this worked for me with a 2gb sdcard
1. in the clockwork menu partitioned a 1024 partition and if i remember correctly the 256 swap. it takes about 1 minute dont worry if nothing seems to be happening.
2. i was then able to mount usb storage
3. passed the rom and gapps to sdcard through usb, and installed from sd no probs
4. after configuring minicm went back to try and partition the full size of the sd card but wasnt able to for some reason. maybe some light could be shed??
hope ive helped anyone and thaks to this thread.

SD Card not detected...

Hallo...
I've installed 2 different custom ROMs with Stock Kernels by 2 different methods (xRcvry and CWM),
On both ROMs, the SD Card is not detected as if it is unmounted, even though physically it is, and I couldn't mount it even by xRcvry nor CWM..
When I connect the phone to PC, there is no options to connect, or charge, like it usually is.
What have I done wrong..? Can anyone please help me..?
I'd be really grateful.

I tried that multiboot a weeks ago...but my original Rom, the Rom installed to the phone, it mounted my as card...but the problem was the other Rom didn't mounted it.....i couldn't fix it...
Seems like u got a wrong step....
U partioned a swap ?

No, I didn't make any partitions...Should I..?
I didn't make any, because it's not part of the requirements for installing the custom ROM.
Btw, should the SD card be formatted into different file system, such as FAT, and not FAT32, prior to installing the custom ROM..?
From what I found here , the problem seems to be on the SD card class that we're suppose to use.
Mine is the original, which I believe is, class 2.
Could that be the same case as this...?

use card reader to check the format,,your sdcard must be FAT not NTFS
backup(just copy past all your folders) your sdcard then format it
turn on your phone WITHOUT sdcard..than turn on again WITH sdcard
now look..is it still not detect your sd card ,,

I've tried what you instructed (to format it from FAT32 into FAT), but, it's still unmounted (not detected)
Should I format it back to FAT32..?
What did I do wrong...?
Could it really be the card's class...???
Because, every time I flashed it back to Stock ROM by using SEUS, it always detects it.

I think it's sd card class....try a another card, don't buy a new... Just find a one from a friend or

Have you tried reflashing the current Rom you're on or try flashing back to stock?

Yes, I tried

Xperia T or TL users may have experience this. Their phones are known to kill SD Cards. Try connecting your SD Card without your phone.

hi dani
my XV has this kind of problem and my partner also have same problem too, XV have killed your SD card and your SD card may not able to be read in ur PC too, either u need to exchange a new SD card (of course change with under warranty) or go without using SD card. i have no idea why it can happen, 1st SD u use in XV may have this kind of problem, 2nd SD (new) inserted to XV will go fine.
(not sure whether it is a bugs or not)

I had a corrupt sd card in my V. I put it in the PC, it asked me if I wanted to format it and I said no.
Then I ran chkdsk -F on it, and it fixed everything and saved all my files.

hmm, mine 1 totally not able read the corrupted sd card, so change under warranty

Maybe my issue was slightly different. On my V, the message was "Damaged Sd card" and it would not mount on the phone.
On the computer, when I plugged in the Sd card and tried to navigate to the drive, the computer would only prompt me to format it. I couldn't view any files.
But I could say "no" to the prompt, open command prompt, and from c: run chkdsk on the sd drive.

my sdcard now completly unreadeable , both from PC and phone ...
