I press unmount and then format and i press yes. But nothing happens. It doesnt format and it doesnt remount my sdcard.
Anyone else had this problem?
Im running Modaco (tried on both 2.2 and 2.6)
Yep, I had this problem earlier today. Just bought a new 16Gb sd card, tried to format it and nothing. Nothing on the phone and if I tried to mount it to Windows, it would say mounted, then Windows would say it needs to format the card, but would fail when you try.
In the end, the only thing I could do was to put the card into my work phone (a Touch Pro) and mount it to Windows via that. I was then able to format the card in Windows. Put it back back in the Hero and rebooted (because the SD card error message wouldn't go away). After that, it was fine.
Don't know why it doesn't work, but I think you will need to mount the card in Windows somehow and format it that way.
Plug it via a memory card reader and format it as FAT32 by right-clicking your memory card under "My Computer" and selecting Format..
// This is an alternative method and will most likely work
My 2 yr old 8gig Sandisk SDHC class 2 sudden;u went kaput, cannot be detected by my Topaz (strangely, my Topaz cannot detect other microSD as well, a 4Gb Sandisk Class 6 which is working fine on a Raphael).
The error message on my XP SP3 PC is like this:
Exception Processing Message c0000013
Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6bf7 c 75b6bf7c
[Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]
Can't detect, thus can't format.
Any help, please?
i'd think that this is connected to apps2sd feature. try partitioning it in recovery image, or format in card reader in pc.

I think my A-Data 8GB Class 6 SDHC is hosed. Is there anything else I can try before I have to purchase one? This is what I have noticed and done to try and resolve.
I cannot write anything to the card. However, I can read from it. I’ve tried deleting folders and files. They show they are deleted; however, when I take out the card and reinsert it shows back up. It does not show up as a drive when I hook it up to a card reader. Disk Management scan showed nothing. When I connect the Touch Pro to the laptop as a drive instead of Active Sync, the storage card does not show up. I can go through the File Management in the Windows Mobile app and see the storage card. Format is not available. A friend with an Android tried reformatting it and it just sat there. He took it out and resinerted his and it started formatting his card.
Is there a format program to use on the phone (searching now)? Is it time to buy a new SDHC?
ETA...I just installed FlashFormat from cnetx. Received "No storage card detected". Is there another good flash program?
You can try a card reader in your pc (ether built in or USB) to format the card. if you need help let me know.
btw a good program to format anything on windows is called swiss knife and its available for free here:
http://download.cnet.com/CompuApps-SwissKnife-V3/3000-2248-10070864.html?part=dl-CompuApps&subj=dl&tag=button
Yep...I tried a card reader to my laptop. XP did not see the card. However, I tried a different card and it showed up.
I will look at swissknife.
Swissknife does not see the card.
I ordered a new card.
I have two additional cards that I have played around with. One sandisk 8 GB class 2 and one Transcend 16 GB class 6. The below corresponds to both.
1. First I manually made partitions following this instruction http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news...droid-apps2sd/
2. Later when "Format SD card" from the settings menu it will not show up in the phone. It says card failure or unknown format.... or something like that. The only way to get it going again is to manually make partitions according to "1." instruction.
Trying to format from windows computers using a USB SD card reader. Tried with xp, home server and windows 7 but the card can not be found.
Puting in my original card and it pops up instantly.
All three cards can be browsed from whatever computer when put in the phone using usb cable.
IS THIS NORMAL ??? Is there any other way to format those two additional cards.

you will not be able to access the card if you have made ext... partitions( dont worry it is normal). did u make a fat32 too in the card? or made the whole thing ext...
BTW the link you mentioned above is not working so... cant know what you did exactly. anyway, try accessing your card with a partition manager. something like paragon partition manager.
Hi all, I bought yesterday 32Gb Kingston Class 4 microSDHC card. Now my phone is very unstable with this memory. I mean, sometimes it can't mount it, sometimes it shows its empty, formatting almost hangs phone, some apps hang phone (apps on sd). Looks like the phone doesn't want to eat this big memory too well.
I already tried soft reset, and dalvik cache deleting. Didn't help.
microSD is formatted into Fat32 and 32Kb clusters in windows with HP Formatting tool.
If I try to reformat with phone, nothing seems to happen....
It can work perfectly for a 20min, but if I try to turn many apps on and off, it will reboot. After what it doesn't see apps on SD card. wtf? But after complete reboot, it'll work again for a some time.
I have 2.2 Android from elelinux.
If I use my old 2Gb card, everything works just great.
Any ideas?
P.S
What does this recovery mode SD card formatting? Maybe I should try this one?
I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7. There are some interesting options like..
What ARE these?
1. Format Cache
2. Format SD card
3. Format sd-ext
4. Wipe Cache Partition
P.P.S LOL I can't turn off phone. It is rebooting always. Wtf?
32gb SD cards are not supported by the HTC Hero.
16gb max.

According to the HTC website, our Hero's should support 32GB.
But that's as far as my knowledge on your issue goes. Just ordered a 32GB Class 4 SanDisk card myself, so when its delivered (hopefully Friday) I'll let you know how it performs.
Just an update for you, mine came in the post yesterday and it seems to work fine with my phone. Loaded it with 20gb of music and it runs fine.
Yep should run fine with 32gb sd cart
i'm having many of the same issues with my 32gb. had a 16gb before, and all was well.
now the phone randomly goes back to charge only when i have it plugged into PC as disk drive. i'm having trouble making backups in recovery too as it says its randomly unreadable in the middle of backing up. also, and seemingly most frustrating, is it is refusing to actually transfer files from PC to SD. i will plug in as disk drive and move all files without issue. however, when i eject disk drive and switch back to charge only mode (or simply unplug), none of the files have actually been moved to my device. they are simply missing entirely when i open any file manager.
i've tried everything. formatting on device, formatting through W7 (quick and full), and formatting through the official sdcard.org tool. nothing helps.
Try this
If u have a linux PC, u will know about gparted, I guess.
Do this: boot to ur favourite linux distro. plug the sd card to ur pc using a card reader. open gparted. click tools and then click new partition table. it will wipe everything from the card.
once done, just setup the partitions as u want for fat, ext or whatever. i was having a htc tattoo troubling me with a 16GB card but now its okay.
i have 3 android devices, all rooted. i have a motorola xoom with team rogue's cwm based recovery and CM10. i have an HTC evo shift with TWRP and CM7. finally, i have a motorola photon q with some version of CWM and the stock rom because i don't know how to develop and no one else cares about my phone
none of these devices can see my 8 GB lexar micro sdhc class 6 card. none of them can format them because they dont recognize that the card is even inserted. if i try to mount the card in any recovery, i get some variation of an "unable to mount" error.
the card works FLAWLESSLY in windows. using a usb adapter, i can also see the contents of the sd card (when it contains music) from my car. i can format the f*ck out of it in windows, and i can scan it for errors and always find <= 0 errors on it. i can partition it with minitool and it works great. windows hugs and loves the card because it works and can be formatted and can be recognized and isn't broken. the card has at least once been formatted as ext3 (or 4?). but right now, and previously, it was formatted as fat32.
any ideas?? the card is not shot. and yes, other SD cards work on my android devices, so that rules out a problem with the card slots. what's going on.
i got it sorted out. i grabbed an ubuntu 10 livecd and fired up gparted. initially, i got a bunch of errors about how the filesystem was mounted as readonly. i thought it was because of my microsd to sd adapter being set to "lock". when i pulled it out, it had a lock setting, but it was NOT LOCKED.
so then i grabbed my USB sd card reader and thankfully ubuntu picked it up and i could read the microsd card through the microsd slot. from there, gparted showed me that i had some type of weird partition setup... there was a extended partition and then my fat32 partition was underneath that partition. i never set that up, so i blew it all away and made the entire card purely fat32.
now it works as expected in my devices. minitool and windows both failed me miserably.
I had had a SanDisc 32 GB class 10 and everything was ok, until the time in which I needed more than 30GB in my HTC Desire X. So, I decided to buy the Kingston microSD 64 GB class 10. Even though our phone has official limit at 32 GB, after googling I noticed that I would not have problem with this card. So I bought it.
From the begin I had a few problems. Very often, about 2-3 times every day, it was required to unmount - mount the card for reading some files or for renaming them.
... it was not big problem for me. But from yesterday, I cannot have access to the sd. I see a message Damaged SD card, SD card is damaged, try reformatting it. And if I try reformatting it, nothing happens. Also in settings - storage I cannot mount the card, and I just see that SD card is unavailable...
What I have to do now? To try a format from windows 7? If so, what format? Fat32, ntfs or something else?
Maybe it is better to use the warranty?
Thank you in advance...
For sdcard, try to format to fat32 (should work either using gparted or windows format tools).
try to format your sdcard with the offical tool from the sdcard association:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
if you wanna format your sdcard the right way, THIS IS THE TOOL TO GO!
The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards
if you still have problems, try to get a replacement from your dealer or sandisk directly.
if that doesnt help, try a different brand like kingston, samsung, etc....
