[solved] Card "Preparing SD card; Checking for errors"

Hi all,
I have a problem with my G1, running on latest Cyanogen mod. After restarting the card cannot be read and it is seems to be checking the sd card, if it really happens I dunno. What is weird is that I can access the card from recovery mode (shell), and it is not damaged (at least the windows doesn't detect damage while it is in the card reader. So that implies that the problem might be in the Android system.. anybody has a clue how to solve this? Thanks a lot.
Edit: solved it, deleted fsck_msdos from bin and it works flawlessly again

Can always wipe and reflash. Or if you have another sd card laying around and put that in to see if it recognizes it.

I'm having the same problem How did you delete the fsck_msdos from the bin?

your phone should rooted
then download and install root explorer
in the root explorer go to
system /bin
and delete fsck_msdos
now reboot your phone

I was having this same issue..it would typically take up to 5 minutes or more to "check for errors" after a boot.
To fix this I backed up my sdcard, reformatted, copied everything back, then reflashed. Everything was fine after that.

i have somewhat the same problem but in my case it sometimes say blank sdcard or damged sd card it read fine when plugged into an sd card reader any help

Thanks. It worked by simply deleting fsck-msdos but it keeps giving SwiftKey3 error " unable to load language packs". Keyboard still OK. I have xperia x10 mini rooted running android 2.1 E10i.

Well, after getting other errors such as "no enough space" from Platinum Backup (there was a space on SD Card), I had to go to Format the SD after copying everything. Then I copied back the important folder the SD. I also had to reinstall SwiftKey. Now everything is fine and no data loss.

My Problem is "preparing external sd card checking for errors" now that error is not showing while following above steps but now when i click my memory card that is not opening and after opened my memory card my internal device memory also not opening .

Simple fix, Difficult decision. Remove SD Card from slot then Factory reset phone. Once it comes too just go through all steps to setting up device then reinsert the SD Card into the slot. BOOM!

thank you very very much it worked for me

Bloody Brilliant. I have no idea why I could not find this solution two years ago. I have spent several hours searching for this solution, several times. In my case, I needed to remove the fsck.exfat file in the /system/bin folder.
My attention span is extremely short. I have been living with a 3 to 4-minute card scan for a 256GB microSD in my Samsung Note 3 for two and a half years. For all of the reboots I have done (which must be near a thousand, if that's not severely underestimated) I have had to deal with waiting to use my phone. I can't tell you how discouraging it has been to have such a powerful, useful device crippled by such a stupid flaw: that of checking the SD card that you rarely remove, for errors, every single time the phone is rebooted, even after graceful reboots called by the "proper" methods.
I can't tell you how many times I have rebooted my phone, only to forget the reason I rebooted it, because my phone took 4 minutes to reboot.
Productivity to the cubed-root.​Pisses me off.
Someone who has more voice than me please get the Android People to change this. As of Nougat, this is still the default behavior. How can an organization be so stupid...? I have no doubt that just this flaw has sent many people to the Apple camps. Who the cuff in their right mind would want to deal with such a hassle?? Are they seriously unaware of the trend for people to actually believe that their devices, machines and technology ought to be doing things faster than previous generations?
(Please just take the following cynicism with a grain of salt. I just learned the above fix, something I really should have figured out a long time ago/kicking myself!!) :crying:
For the anally-inverted who might bring up the obvious argument that your phone will no longer be able to detect or fix corruption, all that needs to be done is the following:
1) move the fsck.exfat (or whatever the formatting) file to a different folder. In my case I moved it to the /data folder
2) use some delay scripting program that will symlink the fsck.exfat file to a tmpfs location say, 30 seconds after boot; or longer if needed. This intermediary step is necessary in order to create a temporary symlink, which will be nonexistent upon reboot.. If we didn't create a temporary symlink, the fsck.exfat command would be immediately available after each reboot (which we don't want) because symlinks are normally permanent. Therefore, this step will need to be run after every reboot (but again, time-delayed).
3) the last command is to create another symlink, linking the tmpfs fsck.exfat symlink created in the last step back to the /system/bin folder (or wherever it originally resided). So this is a symlink of another symlink. This step actually should only need to be done once, since this symlink should remain after reboot, even though it is initially broken upon reboot until the previous command recreates the intermediary symlink. It should become effective again when the previous step is run by the time-delayed scripting program.
Now your phone has the ability to check the card upon you calling the fsck.exfat routine through normal means, one of which can just be a simple unmount -> mount request from the Android system settings . Your card won't be needlessly fsck-checked to death every bloody time you reboot your phone.

Vogue Angry Birds

Hey guys, I dont have my XV6900 here to test, but can anyone tell me if our phones will play Angry Birds (I have latest kernel and Fresh Froyo).
Thanks in advance....

I tried installing it with Fresh FroYo 2.2.1 and the SD card unmounts during the install and it fails :/

well, this happens with other apps to ie. Tic Tac Toe
sooo who nows where the problem lies, the app, sd card, or phone?

It would be awesome if I could get this installed for my little crumbcrunchers to play, and me of course...

Got it installed wth Icubus r16... i got as far as trying to load the first level. No go. It just kinda hung. If you mute your sound settings you'll load up a lot faster... but still... i don't think we have the horse power to run this thing.

LOL, i already play it since beta release, no hang up...

I'm using the "not so super froyo" rls: 10/17 and for my kern: voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh... I edit the kernel to run in 320x480 and I set it to overclock at 520. I have a 4gb sd card in...
Hope that helps. My game runs very well. Although I have noticed that there are these white walls in the game and it's very difficult to see them. I assume it's just because the vogue's screen is ****:/

OK I matched your setup to the letter, tried to install from SD and got the unmounted SD card issue, and when i soft reset with the SD card in the app is not in the tray, and then the manage programs area its a grey icon with SD over it. Same if I install via adb.

Do you use astro and then open it in app manager? Maybe it's more of a problem with your sd card :/

I'm running it on the vogue with incubus rls 15. mine did the same thing as far as unmounting the sd during install. I re installed it back to back and then rather than exiting just hit open and it worked and placed the game icon in my apps drawer. Also as a side note when the game introduces a new bird or freezes before loading a level I just hold in my camera button to bring up the recently used items and click angry bird again this brings up the pause screen and i just hit replay level and all is good.

Mine hangs
I have Incubus26 RLS16 running on NAND. I had to reboot couple of times my phone because the SD card got unmounted and then it didn't recognize the storage. And tried installing againg using Astro.
It loads, but when I try to start the first level, it always hangs. I haven't been able to play at all

to install angry birds unmount the sd card before installing it'll install fine, then remount and play...the latest update for angry birds in the market...released...today or yesterday fixed my graphic problem (white terrain and background) which made it harder to play. there is some lag when playing mostly when the ad pops up at the beginning of a level.

I was able to find a download of this on the net.
I could NOT install from SD card.
I had Root Explorer, so changed permissions on the \tmp folder.
Copied the 14MB apk to the \tmp directory.
Installed from NAND - install went fine, no issues.
Was able to play, though its a little slow, @ 500 mhz

Another way is,
After install it, and get unmount msg,
Dont restart your phone, dont unmount your sd.
Go to Settings->Applications->Manage applications.
Choose Angry Bird and push "Move to phone" button.
Thats all.
Still get your unmount msg, just restart the phone.
Angry Bird will still remain in your phone memory and you could still play it.
Anyway, I was optimize and tweak Fresh Froyo,
now I could run it without oc. Just 400 without GPU oc too.
I just change the resolution.

i've found the latest update to be almost unplayable...it did fix the graphical problems (white terrain) but its not worth the extreme lag even running it on nand incubus rls 16, over clocked to 501mhz, with latest 11/12/2010 kernal... im going to have to stick with 1.3.5 version of angry birds unless someone knows of a some setting that might help

Problem with a Class 10 32gb sd card

So, I was using a 4gb SD card class 4 and it worked flawlessly, but a few days ago i bought a 32gb class 10 Sandisk SD and it worked just fine for a day, after doing http://acetips.wordpress.com/2011/09/19/how-to-force-install-apps-to-sd-card-without-root/ process. The next day, my cellphone got stuck and it restarted a few times, and every time it turned on it recognized some apps and others not. After that I formatted it from both my cellphone and from my pc and it kept happening. Sometimes, after turning on the cellphone it says the SD is damaged and asks me to reformat it again. I even reverted the process mentioned before and rooted the cellphone, but the SD is still buggy as hell.
Anybody has any idea as to why this might be happening?
Im using the Galaxy Ace s5830L with stock rom and kernel.

You can't force move apps to the SD without root cleanly. You'll get problems. That's the whole point of rooting and what it stands for. If you're still after your warranty, there's an unroot file with the rooting one depending where you got it from. There's a thread here on XDA with both files. Then you can just install your carrier's rom and you're good to go.
You will need root for A2SD, and even then you gotta be careful how you do it. There are some apps and scripts that do better jobs than other ones.

Yes, I reverted the process mentioned before and I rooted my phone and moved apps with Link2SD and the same thing happened. After rebooting my phone once it stopped recognizing some apps randomly (it says the ones that the phone doesn't recognize are not installed). But when I switch to my 4GB SD card it works fine. Then I formatted the card and the phone and tried to make a partition but as you know it didn't work.
Maybe it's a size problem, I don't know. It's not that I need that much space but I will not even think about space with that SD card and also I've already bought it, haha. I'll go to the store where I bought it tomorrow anyway.
Thank you again for your time!

Oh alright. Good thing you solved it. Also, I don't recommend Link2SD as it doesn't free that much space compared to better alternatives like INT2EXT+ or DT's A2SD.

Yes, I know that now. When I change the SD card or find what's the problem I'll start from the beginning and I won't use Link2SD.

what partition type did you put on your sd card? n its possible that the partition is corrupt i had a similar issue not so long back
i formated the whole sd card using minipartion tool then made a 2gd ext4 split works fine now

I followed this tutorial to make the partition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477996 (not sure what type of partition it is). But the SD card had been working bad before I tried to make the partition.

[Q] Recommended app for moving apps to sd on stock kitkat?

Hi all,
I have just rooted my phone using the amazing Towelroot app as I want to move my games to my sd card as they take up so much room.
I have created a second partition on my 32gb card using the Aparted app but Titanium backup is still not giving me the option of moving to card.
I have also tried installing Link2sd but unfortunately that just causes a bootloop until I take the sd card out.
Anyone know of an app that will let me move all my games to my sd card as I only have 20% of internal memory left?
I have tried various methods from searching but nothing seems to work for me.
Thanks

Link2SD forces bootloop

Hi everyone!
I wanted to put some big apps on my SD card, and I thought I can use Link2SD for this, like I have succesfully done it on my old HTC Desire HD.
Today I tryed the same as with my old phone, but it ends with a bootloop. So maybe someone can help me to use it on my XZR.
First of all I rooted my Xperia ZR with Towelroot succesful, then installed supersu. Everything works well. Bootloader is still closed.
After that I partitionated my SD Card like on the old phone. 2 GB should be enough for the sdext partition I want to use with link2sd. I formatted it with 4ext system.
Now I installed link2sd and make the mount script and made a reboot ------> Bootloop!
I deleted the made partiton to solve the bootloop and deinstalled link2sd, So I can use my ZXR again. But I need space in intern memory.
What can I do? Does Link2SD dont work with Xperia ZR?
This was the reason of root, to run such a programm. Maybe someone can help me.
Greatings Lemmi.

Dear Lemmi,
you are not the only one with this problem. My Xperia V also goes into bootloop since 4.3 (before it worked fine). However, using the search I found the following fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/general/towel-root-steps-to-root-t2789990
I did not try it yet, but others did and it sounds very promising. If you had luck with that, just post it here or there so other users can profit from that information

In desperate need for Link2SD on ZR, is there a way?

How to get Link2SD to work:
When you have root install the remount reboot fix befor you try to make the boot script with link2sd!!!!! After installing the fix it will work fine!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...b-definitive-root-remount-reboot-fix-t2317432
Thats as far i know the only and easyiest way to get Link2SD running on Xperia ZR

Apparently it fixed my problem. I owe you my life. THANKS!

is there anyway to make link2sd work if i installed reboot-remount fix after creating the boot script with link2sd?
as i didn't know about reboot fix, so i installed link2sd first and created the boot script.and as a result it goes into bootloop.then i came across the reboot fix.but after successfully applying the reboot fix, it's still not working.goes into bottloop.i tried both ext2, ext3 parition.
