Hello Guys !
The internal SD card partition is ****ed up and it shows as "unmounted".
I tried a lot of things, including connecting the phone to computer and formating the damn internal storage, but when i plug the USB cable, the phone says that don't have SD card and don't allow full access or Mass Storage.
I tried some programs and file explorers who claimed that can format partitions. No one of them did works.
I tried from the settings of the device to format the internal storage, but i can't change or touch anything, because it shows the internal storage as "unmounted".
I flash it to the stock rom but in the process of flashing, it don't even touch anything in the partition table and after the flashing, the internal SD card is still "unmounted".
Is there any program, tool, way to repartition the partition table on the device ?
I have searched for that in google and i didn't find anything of that sort for Xperia X8.
My other phone, LG Optimus 2X for example, it have AIO toolkit and from there i can change his partition table as i want.
I doubt in that i can't do the same on Xperia X8.
What can i do in this case ?
By "Internal SD card partition" do you mean the Data partition?
Yes.
Are you sure? Does your phone boot? Are you able to install apps?
I mean... that partition where the other data like music, videos, files for apps are stored in there or the partition that file managers sees.
And now this partition is broken and unmounted. The phone show stupid errors everywhere, of the type of "Put your SD card to make photos" or "No SD card" in every app that store data...Now i can't do nothing, i can't even transfer one song and set it as default rington.
But the phone starts up successfully and i have no problem with installing apps from the old "Android Market".
Then that would be your Externel MicroSD Card. If you take the back cover off your phone it should be in the top right corner.
Try taking it out and using an MicroSD card adapter to connect it to your pc and format it.
Or use an app called "AParted" from the Play Store to format your MicroSD Card(Root access required).
No. The phone don't have inserted SD card. I am talking about the "internal SD card". As far as i know, the partition that the file managers sees is the partition left for free data storage, and that is not the whole memory, there is another partition that is hidden and is for the system files for android.
So, the phone boots up and "works" but i need to make repartitioning, but i don't know how to do it on this phone and what is the procedure if there is a way.

The phone has 2 main partitions one is System(For OS related files and folders) and the other one is Data(For Apps and App Data), No File Manager can see whats in them(Unless you have Root Access). The only thing that would be visible to your File Manager would be whats in your MicroSD Card. If you don't have a MicroSD Card you will not be able to save any pictures or videos or any thing like that(Just like any other Android Phone with a MicroSD Card Slot)
So, this phone uses the whole internal memory for the system ? And its required to put a microSD card to be able to use the phone ?
All my android phones has a partition for free storage and i am suprised of that i can't storage anything without SD card.
This Phone only has 250MB of Internal Storage and it uses about 128MB for System. That leaves you with around 122MB to install Apps. The Phone is 100% Usable without a MicroSD Card, the only thing you will not be able to do is Save any type of External File(Video. Audio, ect.)

HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.
Regards Kali
I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.
I am running CM7.1.0 on my nook color off the SD card. I used the YouTube tutorial by the Crash Tech Dummies. Now I notice that I am only allowed only 1GB of storage on the SD card. I used partition wizard to increase the space on the 4th partition like I was instructed. I would prefer to install the apps to the SD card so I have already burned through the space provided. Bellow I have listed what I see in partition magic. Should I move the free space in the 4th partition into the first? Or should I load the cm7 onto the HD of the nook? I am a bit of a noob but I have gotten this far.
My 16 GB card partitions read:
G:boot 30.32mb used 118.69mb unused
*: 179.55mb used 283.25mb unused
*: 367.34mb used 597.50mb unused
*: 6.68 gb used 6.61gb unused
Any suggestions would be great…I don’t know what else to do.
Help me XDA Developers you my only hope…

First of all, what is "1GB of storage on the SD card" you're talking about?
Secondly, the 4th partition has nothing to do with holding installed apps.

when i go into settings, apps, storage use, sd card it says 1.0 gb used 0.00 free...i was assuming this was referring to a section of the sd card. I also assumed that the 4th partition was being used by something do the fact that half of it has been used by something...
Steve
Quoting from VeryGreen's instructions
Partition layout for the SD cards depends on size:
Less than 600M - unsupported.
up to 1G cards gets: system of ~300M and data of the rest of space. No FAT partition
2G cards (more than 1G up to 1800M) gets: 300M system, 612M data, rest is FAT sdcard
more than 2G cards gets: 460M system, 975M data, rest is FAT for sdcard.
Your first partition is the boot, nothing else should go on here.
Your second partition is the system partition containing the OS and system applications
Your 3rd partition is the data partition used for downloaded apps. The space allocated is adequate for a decent number of downloaded apps but may get tight if you load lots of games. You can move apps to "SD" which is the 4th partition if you get tight on space.
Your 4th partition is the "SD" user data area. This can be used by apps for their working folders and is also where you put stuff like media (pictures, music, video). It is the partition that will normally get mounted as a drive on a PC when the USB is connected and USB disk storage is turned on via the notification panel.
You say the 4th partition has got 6.68GB data on already? That should start off fairly empty until you put stuff on there.
I do have music and pictures on the device that i uploaded so that's where the items on partition #4 came from.
When i try and move the applications to the sd card it tells me that there is not enough room on the card. Also when i plug in the nook to my computer without the sd card in it shows the applications on the internal hard drive. Should i try and move space from the 4th partition to the 3 and see if that helps?
Thanks,
Steve

I'm a little surprised it says there is no room available to move an app if the partition still shows 6GB free. Have you tried using Apps2SD app. This will show space available and is a convenient way to move stuff around. Another possibility is that you are trying to do this whilst USB connected to the PC. That won't work as the Nook software can't access the SD partition while it is PC mounted.
Currently you said there was nearly 600MB free in your 3rd partition where new downloads go. If so I wouldn't bother with trying to move stuff until you get tight on space there.
If that happens and you just need to create some more app space in the 3rd partition then you can use a partition tool on the PC like minitools to reallocate some of the space from 4 to 3 to give yourself more app space.
I tried the apps2sd and i get the same error. It sends me to the same place as i discussed above and when i tell it to send it to the sd card i get the same error. "failed to move application, there is not enough storage space".
I am not trying to move anything while i have the nook attached to my computer. the only time i really used that function was to add music and some pictures.
This is really starting to get frustrating. I do appreciate all your help.
Is another option loading CM7 to the nook instead of the SD card?
I only used the SD CM7 method for a short while and I don't think I ever tried to move apps to the "SD" so maybe there is an issue trying to do this.
I think you have two choices.
If you stick with SD then increase the data partition to give yourself more room for apps.
If you never want to use the B&N OS then the internal memory is the best option. The SD card then becomes a single partition user space card and you can certainly move apps to it. If you do this then also consider using the zip that increases the internal data partition to 2GB to give yourself more internal room for apps anyway.

I think ill try adjusting the partition and see if that helps. Like you said if it doesn't ill look into loading onto the internal memory. I am not to impressed with the B&N software and i use the kindle software for my e-reading.
Is there a method you could recommend for loading it onto the internal memory? A step by step tutorial would help out lots. I am not familiar with the zip you are referring to.
Thanks,
Steve

Yes. If you don't think you'll use the B&N then internal is the way to go. Especially if you use Amazon Kindle for your books.
The easiest method in my view is to use the Eyeballer Clockwork boot SD and use that then to flash the main ROM and gapps zips.
You can find the most straightforward instructions here but I would use the KANG MiRaGe ROM as the main OS.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8208-guide-install-cm71-clockworkmod-to-emmc-all-nooks-updated101111/
The 2GB partition zip can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371
This can actually be applied at same time as installing the OS and gapps. Put the repartition zip, the ROM zip and the gapps zip on the Eyeballer SD card then use the menus to flash repartition, ROM and then gapps.
If you also follow the advice to put ROM manager and flash clockwork to the internal as well then future updates become very easy and do not even involve removing the SD card.
Ive decided that the best solution is to install on the internal rather than the sd card. i think this will be less of a pain in the butt in the long run.
being new to android and coming over from apple (booooo) is there anyway to easy re-install the apps that i have already downloaded? I do have one that i did pay for.
Steve
easy way to re-install? hmmm, maybe not but I would suggest you make the backup for all of your apps first (meaning save all .apk files to somewhere else)
ok here goes nothing lol
Titanium backup would allow you to back up all your apps. If you save the Titanium back up folder (say onto a PC via USB) then after you have done the internal install then put the Titanium back up folder back onto the fresh SD card and you can restore the apps back from there.
everything seems to be working just fine...thank you all for the help and advice...

Thought I will share this simple and very effective method with all folks, I guess some of you might have known this method, I am sure there are other ways (via CWM which I tried few months back and ended up wiping my SD card data :crying, but I could'nt find a simpler guide like this one for "learner' like me
No need to delete any of your existing favourite apps to carve out space for a new one.No running out of memory issues.
All you need to have is:
A SD card of sufficient capacity (preferably,class 4 or higher)
A rooted phone
SD card reader (you can do the steps below with the SD card in the phone connected via USB)
A PC running Windows
BACK UP YOUR CONTENTS ON THE SD CARD TO A SAFE LOCATION IN CASE YOU NEED TO REVERT AGAIN. THE SD CARD WILL BE FORMATTED DURING THE PROCESS. NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SKIP THIS STEP AND LOSE YOUR DATA !!!
Now follow these steps..
First of all,you have to partition your SD card.To do this,first search (via google on your PC) download & install Mini Tool Partition Wizard.
Connect your SD card to the pc (via a card reader/via phone).Your pc and the wizard will detect the sd card.
In the Mini Tool Partition Wizard,right click on your SD card and select delete. Take care that you do not mess with any other hard drive or partition on your PC and select only the SD card
Now,you will have whole of the space on your sd card as unallocated.
Right click on it and select create.
A popup will open,in that box,select the partition as primary,file system as FAT (if your sd card is below 4GB) or FAT32 (if your sd card is of more than 4GB capacity).
You can size any amount of the SD card for this partition ; this will be the SD card space in which you eill eventually store your music, photos etc. Make sure you leave about 512 MB or more space (upto 1Gb is good enough) for the next partition.
Select done.
Right click on the unallocated space and again click create.This time too,select Primary but change the file system to Ext2,Ext3 or Ext4 (Ext2 is recommended as most ROMs work fine with it)
Click apply changes and the process will take a few minutes, let it complete.
After it is done, search for link2sd on Google play and install the app on your device.
On the first launch, it will ask for root permissions and then, will ask you the file system of the Ext partition, choose the Ext partition that you created, accordingly.
Sort the apps according to size, do a multi-select and start linking them and voila, you can now Install more and more apps without filling your phone memory, thus the internal memory of your phone is increased to the size of the ext partition you create. Once done reboot the phone and enjoy using normally
Use common sense and move only apps that you have downloaded and installed, not system apps, launcher themes etc which are very much required in the phone memory
In link2sd settings select auto link for any new apps that you will install, in future.
Another super benefit ! When you turn USB storage on, all the apps on your sd will keep working and so well be the widgets
This method should work for all phones.
Enjoy !!!...

my words mean that for example i downloaded viber and before i download this program i went to see my internal storage i found it 25m.b. free on my internal storage and after i downloaded this program"viber" i opened link2sd i found it in my sd card and a lso opened my internal storage i found it became 19m.b. and i cant download a lot of apps because my internal storage of my phone became little so yr method cant benifit me. so what can i do to stop apps to take a space on my internal torage?
Okay, so I inserted my SD card into my moto E5 and chose to format it as internal storage. I ignored the warning that told me once it was formatted to be used as internal it would no longer be able to be used in any other device. I of course ignored this thinking they only meant id have to reformat it and lose all my stuff on their when I did, but of course once formatted I could pop it in anything. Now I realize I can't reformat it, at least I don't know how. I have tried using the app a parted to delete and create partitions and volumes etc, I have tried to use disk part in windows to clean, modify read only attributes, convert gpt, delete repair etc. Nothing has worked. Is their a way to get rid of the gpt partition on my ONN micro SD card and then reformat it so I can use it either in a different phone or anything at all? Thanks in advance

You should be able to go to

Select adoptable storage
And format it as portable storage

Already tried that. Doesn't let me. Gets to 20 percent real fast then i get an error. Its not showing as being read only. At first when I would try to format it or anything it would say write protected. I must have fixed that part cause it doesn't say that anymore. Every command I push to it in aparted and disk part says it completes successfully, clean, delete partition, delete volume, create partition, etc. When I insert it into the Motorola it tells me my transcend sd card do I want to format it as internal or portable. Both options now fail. When I use an adapter and add it to the computer I can only see it in disk management and the only option not greyed out is delete option. When I put it into a rooted s4 I can view it just fine, and says it's 74% full, shows all of my original folders I had on it but all those folders show as empty. It shows with a 16mb volume and a 15861mb partition and lists both as primary.

Every command I push to it in aparted and disk part says it completes successfully, clean, delete partition, delete volume, create partition, etc. When I insert it into the Motorola it tells me my transcend sd card do I want to format it as internal or portable. Both options now fail. When I use an adapter and add it to the computer I can only see it in disk management and the only option not greyed out is delete option. When I put it into a rooted s4 I can view it just fine, and says it's 74% full, shows all of my original folders I had on it but all those folders show as empty. It shows with a 16mb volume and a 15861mb partition and lists both as primary.

Locked SD card after formatting SD CARD without removing secured apps....
Now limited use of card.

Steps to do ?
Working on it. If anyone can help to start me in the write ... Lol rewrite directions.. Thank you
Note in found the EFI partition. Doing a deep search.
I attached below pictures from my smartphone and my sdcard.
I am always having an issue with my memory card. After copying or moving some files of folders, the sdcard becomes useless, the phone stops "seeing it" and it only requires format.
I always managed to recover my data by copying all the data stored on card to a laptop, format the sd card and move back the data from the laptop to the card.
Or, by using utility Checkdisk provided by Windows.
But the situation repeats over and over.
Is there a permanent fix?
Card is formatted with exFat
Use only in phone; do a low level format on the PC, then put it in phone, format again.
Do all operations through the phone interface from then on.
If you get any more errors the card is defective.
