Can't flash with 8gb card

Hey guys, i've got a 8gb Apacer card. I've installed successfully the HardSPL (it shows Olinex's name), i've downloaded Smaberg's latest rom, which is already renamed. I'm taking off the battery and then putting it back, i'm pressing the volume down key and at the same time the power button. It takes me to the 3 color screen but it stays stuck to "Serial" which is written down on the 3 color screen.
Am i doing something wrong?

Which is the filesystem of your SD Card?
Have you renamed the ROM with this name: kovsimg.nbh?

I formatted it with FAT32,
Yup ROM is already renamed to kovsimg.nbh
Can't understand why it stucks to 3 color screen when it says down to the screen "Serial".

U not press volume down long enough
start again

I pressed it for 3 minutes and still stucks to serial screen.

Is the nbh file at the SDcard root?

Yeah it is. I have some other files too at sd root, does it messing up the things?

Just did it but no luck, still the same issue!

I've had the same problem. Formatted my 2Gb a dozen of timeswith my laptop and it didn't function. Finally I formatted the card with another PC at the office and now everything works as planned.
So, not every format is the same??

Just tried to flash a rom with another SD 2gb and worked fine!
What the heck is going on with my devilish 8gb card...the card is working great but no flashing...maybe i'll have to find another computer too to format it.

Kingston card does not support card flash. I do not know why

Are you sure of you???
Because I have a Kingston 8Gb SDHC card and I use it for flashing my phone with SDcard method when I can't flash it with my PC...

Where is your original 8gb card guys? Did you change it for a reason?

Sorry but the 8GB is not included with every Xperia, at least not in every country.
My german operator send it without sd card, I had to buy my own one.
So I think this may differ from country to country or provider.

I had the same problem, could not flash it with SD card method, tried it via PC (USB), also no success and tried it again with SD method and tried it for like 10-15 times and then all of a sudden it worked.
I tried putting hard-spl on there again, while I knew it was on there already, even this did not work and started working after some tries and then I was able to do the SD method.
I have a sandisk 8GB mem card, so it's probably not brand related..

We have the Kovsimg.nbh, how do we create the ROMUpdateUtility.exe?
Hello guys,
After this huge problem i've got http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517752 (i can't flash any rom with the 8GB card) and we couldn't find a solution, i'm asking if there is a way to convert the Kosvimg.nbh file to ROMUpdateUtility.exe file so i can flash the ROMs through the PC?
Looking forward to heard the good news! It's too pitty everyday to read about these new ROMs and i can't flash them!
Cheers,
Bill

Just put the ROMUpdateUtility and the NBH file in the same folder and run it, it will flash whatever NBH file is in the same folder as it. If you need the RUU exe, just extract it from a shipped ROM using WinRar. Or use this Custom RUU : http://rapidshare.com/files/164933503/X1_CustomRUU.zip
Please don't create new threads for existing issues.

Cant Root Through Recovery E3

Hi All
I have just flashed to the new UK ICS Stock Rom and i'm having trouble rooting. When i boot into Recovery e3 i have the option to apply update from external storage. When i select that option i get an error message Failed To Mount /SDCARD (no such file or directory)
So what do i need to do to be able to root ?
Cheers

the e3 recovery's looking for the microsd card, so you will have to place the files on a microsd card and place the card in the phone.

SanDisk MicroSDXC 64 Go not seen by CM 12

Hi,
I installed CM 12 following the instruction provided by [ROM][WIP][STABLE][UNOFFICIAL] CM-12.1 2015-11-22 in Fire Original Android Development.
Easy to do and works perfectly but my 64 Go MicroSDXC is not seen anymore by CM.
It works perfectly on the original Fire OS.
I format the card as propsoed in one post but still not recognized.
Is there a solution ?
Thanks in advance

I've had issues with the same card on stock firmware. My only solution wss to use a different brand card...

Hi,
Is this a problem with the card or simply a part of the system they havent fixed on CM for the fire yet? I have the same problem with a Silicon Power 64GB up to 85MB/s MicroSDXC UHS-1 Class10, Elite Flash Memory Card with Adaptor (SP064GBSTXBU1V20SP) and need to know if I need to return it or not. Works fine in recovery.

Scratch that...I simply had to hit erase sd card on the phone and it formatted it properly

on Samsung S2.

The card is not viewed at all, so impossible to erase and format from the fire.
In fact a FAT32 format from a PC works. Thanks to an old post about same issue with CM on Samsung S2. Google to find the FAT32 foramt tool.

It has been mentioned elsewhere in this forum that cm cannot see exFAT formatted cards as of now. Only Fat32.
By default, FireOS formats as exFAT.

Use Fat32 format, the card will be recognized.

If your SD card isn't being seen in CM try powering off and back on(not via reboot). On my CM install if you hit reboot my card doesn't show up under storage upon reboot, only if fully powered off and then back on.
I think the reboot feature in CM maybe doesn't remount the sd card on reboot or something......

suddenly sd card is not detectable....plz help

:crying:Can anybody help me..plz?? I have a sd card of 32 gb Samsung evo class 10...today i remove the sd card from my phone(obviously after switch off) and insert in pc to take a game(amazing spiderman 2). But,then i insert the sd card in my k3 and turn on...the phn becomes damn slow...and the sd card storage is not showing..now the phn's speed is ok...but it still did not show the sd card...plz help...using aosp lemonade v3 rom...
Later I tried different SD cards...but none of them got detected. I also format the SD card. But,still the problem persists...now plz help me,plz...

I will suggest you to wipe everything and install a stock rom, vibeui or row, and if it still doesn't detect cards than probably it is a hardware thing.

I had Limonchello Mod 5.0, first off the Blutooth, then the Wi-Fi stopped, then the SD-Card Issue.
I fortunately had a backup, so via TeamWin re-installed Limochello, then again the SD Card issue.
You have to go to Mount, and be sure that the SD-Card is mounted in TeamWin, helped me in the end.
And I don't think this is necassary to say:
Backup everything 1st.
Shut Down, HOLD Volume Up and DOWN and POWER until entering to Teamwin.
Check if SD-Card is mounted in options, in MOUNT.... Reboot.
Cheers, hope it helps.
EDIT:
Be sure to when restarted, Settings, Storage - try to Mount the SD Card if it's now availible. Restart again.
Cheers.
Another thing you could try is to have the SD Card in your phone, and via USB connect to PC, see if it'll find your Phone and SD Storage...
Rock and Roll!!!

I guess it's a recovery issue. I have the same problem. My sdcard shows when I connect phone to PC. My CWM recovery has been acting strange lately. It gave me a bootloop when I tried to flash gapps and sdcard is not mounted, when I try to mount it gives me an error. I am going to flash stock ROW ROM and recovery to get back my warranty soon so it doesn't matter.

Unlock the micro sd card

There is no physical switch. I've tried many application software in windows and linux but yet still not working. I think the last time I can modify the mircro sd card content is where I make deletion and copying on the phone mode. After I formatted the phone to, the micro sd card is no longer content-editable. I've tried format but not working. Before I format the phone, its OS is lolipop and I upgraded to nougat. Lost the ability to copy file after upgrading. Downgrading back still not working

What phone are you using, what's the model?
Were you rooted on Lollipop?
If so did you reroot after upgrading to Nougat?
Are you on a custom ROM or have a custom recovery?
What's the file system currently on the MicroSD card?
What file manager application are you using that is not allowing you to copy/edit files on the Micro SD card?
Are sure nothing can write to the Micro SD card, have you tried loading a Terminal app to get things command line, or another file manager application?
Last thing I can think of, is can you take the Micro SD card out and put it into a computer and see if it will format?
Could be randomly the SD card just died when you were upgrading? Usually when my cards go, it's around when I'm doing an OS load... For whatever reason. I've killed 3 Micro SD cards in the last 7 years.

I use samsung galaxy y s5360. I did rooted my device by upgrading to lolipop. I delete all partition when I downgrading back to lolipop from nougat. I think the system is in the phone itself. Any file manager I try they say success but after I double checked the files gone, I'm on custom ROM. I have taken the micro sd out and format it in windows env or linux env with higher permission. If the microsd card when upgrading then there's nothing I can do?

Do you have a custom recovery like TWRP? Are you able to boot into the custom recovery and use the file manager in there to see if it can read and write. That's outside of the OS and if it can write to the Micro SD then that means the phone is good hardware wise. If not, try formating inside of the recovery then try file manager. Again o ly if you have a custom recovery will this work.
If you're able to write to the Micro SD card in recovery, then maybe the issue is with the custom ROM? Have you tried going back to the factory firmware and see if the SD card works? That's probably where I would go to start first, since downgrading you're still having problems.
If you've pulled it out and put it in a computer, you can format and write files to it... That's a good sign that it can be written to, at least it means the Micro SD card is function.

Sorry I've tried tested on Clockworkmode recovery v5.0.2.8 but still not working. It return success but still have the previous content. I'm not sure whether this means the micro sd card is encrypted . I've tested in on PC but not work at all.

My apologies I thought it was successful on the PC.
If you try it in a computer and you can not do anything to the cars, then more than likely there is something wrong with the card. At this point I would try another Micro SD.
If it was encrypted you would not be able to see any files on it in recovery. Plus if you are in your recovery (Clockworkmode) and not able to format/partition the Micro SD in there, problems.
Because with the encryption the phones do, you can still delete partitions and repartition and format the Micro SD. Would lose all of your files of course, but would make the card usable again. Trust me I've done that a few times, encrypted then the phone would crash... And the card was locked until repartitioned and formated.

Sounds like it from everything you tried. Wish I had better news. But I have found when you can not repartition the card, especially on a PC, it's done for. Whatever the reason. That's why I I ly deal with Samsung or Kingston branded cards. Those are the ones I've had the longest and haven't failed, being used on multiple devices over the years.
