Hi All
I recently had to restore my Xperia x10i to stock firmware with flash tool. All that is fine and the phone it working once again
But now the phone says "Sd Card Blank or has an Unsupported Filesystem" and even my laptop says it must be reformated,
If i procede to format (with any formatting tool) The computer brings back an error and i cannot complete the proccess.
The strangest thing about it though is the fact that laptop says the card has 1.3TB of storage, which is vastly incorrect as it is only a 2GB card.
If anybody can help with my problem it would be much appreciated
thanks
You're sd card is corrupted. better buy a new one buddy..
I would've thought there would be some way to fix this :/
thanks anyways
Edit: If i do chkdsk with command prompt, the laptop comes back with, the type of file system is RAW
have you tried formatting it on your phone?
hey mate, have u try to repair it using ur pc?
at ur pc, open my computer
right click the sdcard drive
click properties, select the tools tab
then click on error-checking
it should help..
try tis b4 formating ur sdcard
Thanks, i'll try that when I get home. The fail that is Windows XP wouldnt let me do anything!
I'll let you's know if it helps

if u had previous 2.1 rom with partition sdcard and switch to 2.2 rom, for sure u will have notification blank sdcard because 2.2 have native app2sd which does not required 2nd partition

So I'm running JT's vanilla Gingerbread. And after a day my SD card is not showing to be inserted thru gallery or if I try to download to. However I can play my music find ringtones on the card view pictures thru other apps and when I go to storage under setting it say card mounted and shows memory. Also something else weird is I can't delete anything from the card. Not really sure what's the problem and could use some advice Thx. (update) So two days now I've realized the problem has nothing to do with the SD card it self, everything is still there and I can do back ups from it as well as export contacts and flash in recovery. The problem seems to be somewhere in the rom. Gallery show a message "Sd unmount or not present" as well as I can't delete anything from the card thru the phone. Root explorer says it's deleted but it's not, every other way I try I get a "file can't be deleted" message. I can view pictures and video thru astro just not thru gallery. So I'm thinking this is not a wiped or fried Sd card issue but something with thew rom, I'll try flashing powerwashed rom and see if the problem continues and update.
If your running anything gingerbread expect your sd card to get wiped, do a backup asap.
Keep me Fascinated.
I am having the same problem

I would try backing up the card, then formatting. Not sure if it will work, but it's something to try.

Hi,
I have 3 problems related to applications for which I can't find solution.
1st is that after removing/uninstalling applications and then restarting phone at some point for whatever reason there are visible remnants of them. (screenshot attached)
I am able to uninstall them again, but after another restart they are back. So how to get rid of them for good?
2nd problem is that certain applications seems to uninstall/delete themselves upon phone reboot. It seems its related to SD card where they put themselves during install. I have tried to move majority of apps back to phone, but seems only some of them are affected by this. There are apps which are installed/moved to SD and they work fine even after restart, so don't know. Maybe some of them are not working after moving to SD? Although for some its strange because they install itself to SD without me moving them.
3rd problem appeared today. Yesterday I have updated to ICS via Kies and installed 5 updates from Market. Today after restart the same apps were back to previous versions and Market offered me the same updates for the same apps. Whats the problem with this?
Thx for your help
Reads as possible corruption of SD card .
Check Lost File folders .
jje
And how do I do it? What folders? LOST.DIR?
Or to put to computer and run chkdsk to check lost files?
wen u some times move apps to sd an wen a aoto update takes place so wen rebooted then either appear as shown in screen shot,cause get deleted an flashing roms then restoring from titanium also gives some app prblm....the best way is format ur ext card on pc .....and if u want to clean all crap which u don want(lost.dir)is a folder were chunks r stored...but coming to point if u want to clean all mess go in recovery an formatt sd card,format system,emmc all ,,an reboot an ur stuck on sammy logo means u hav nothing on phone ,so go in download mode an flash stock via odin.....imp backup ur efs b4 any thing

I THINK what he's suggesting is that when you have apps installed to your sd card, then an update occurs, then if there are differences in how partitioning works between your old OS version and your new OS version, you may lose some apps.

Then there's a bunch of unintelligible gibberish... Seems to be suggesting that restoring apps using Titanium backup can cause issues, and suggests formatting the external SD card on your PC instead of in your phone.

Back up your /efs folder before you do anything. (which I agree with wholeheartedly)
I think I translated that correctly.
Thanks for your translation mate although I am not sure if he said anything what can help me except deleting and formatting all which is really something what I would like to avoid for now.
LOST.DIR is empty on both internal and external SD card.
Also the problem with remnants was happening before I upgraded to ICS, do I don't think its related to partitioning at all.

Last time I had this issue, it was on my Moto Milestone where I had app2sd running, and my SD card was becoming corrupted. I had to format my SD card and re-install the affected apps.
Hmm, I am not using any external app like app2sd, just the option which is offering Android itself. You were formatting internal or external one?

I was describing my condition on one of my old phones. (An old Motorola Milestone, which did not have an internal SD) Not an I9100.
If you are using the default app2sd in Android, then you'll want to format internal. But back up all your files (music, pictures, whatever else) before you do, obviously.
I see. Yeah I was planning to do backup of course, but if I copy back all after format won't be back also the problem?
Lost dir from me was to check for corruption as thats where corrupt sd card files go.
Copy backup to PC just in case .

hey pal before trying 2 delete any app please ensure that u have cleard the data and cache of the same since they do pose a problem later also manually delete all those app folders on ur sdcard after deleting the apps

It shouldn't matter...
But my advice is to go through your installed apps and make a list of all apps that are marked as installed to your SD. Then uninstall all of the ones that are. Then back up your internal SD, and do your format of internal SD.
DO NOT copy back the .android_secure folder after you format. This is the folder that Android uses for it's built-in app2sd. (so it will get created again automatically later)
That means you'll have to re-install all of the apps you made a list of above, but it SHOULD help alleviate your problem.

The condition he describes is that the app is no longer being registered as installed. So I don't think he'll be able to do this.
Thanks mate, I am now making backup of internal SD card before formatting although there is no .android_secure folder. There is one on external SD card, but its empty. Anyway will try the format after all the data are copied.
So backup done, formatted card, copied all back, restarted phone and the remnants are still there

Hmm.. you may not have a choice but to do a factory reset/full wipe to get rid of 'em. Sorry dude.
Thats not what I wanted to hear. Should I go for factory reset available directly from Android or should I boot to recovery and go with factory reset/wipe data or wipe cache?

Either one should be fine.
FYI, you can back up most stuff you have and restore using various methods, so you can get back to your current state... it will just take a bit of effort.
And which would you recommend? I have Titanium Backup Pro to use or is there easier way?
Hello guys I think my Vibrant just passed away.
After installing the new ROM 2.11 PA and few apps I had backed up with titanium my Vibrant lost its SD Card. It wont find it and it will stay looping at the CWM menu and nothing else. Os after few tries to recover I decided to Odin and start over but all I get is the splash menu and power off
Im not a median loader. I think I have plenty of experience as I have root phones about 200 times. Load ROMs about 500 times easy.
But this one is biting me. It just wont go to recovery or bootup..
All Im able to do is to ODIN de phone successfully and get it to Download mode and recovery mode. Other then that it just dont do anything else but showing me the splash and go black screen.
Any ideas?

So, are you saying it will or will not go into recovery? Or is it just going into stock recovery?

It only goes to stock recovery and download mode after I odin and it pass!!
but the phone wont pass through the splash as it goes blank. Before had a problem with not detecting the SD Card as well
I have tried ODIN and Lidroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058802
But none of them are able to get me back fully pass the splash.
If you are using eclair in the odin pda, you might search and download this pda, dont tick repartition...Eugene_2E_jk2_froyo.tar. Hard to say Im not familiar with the rom you flashed.
If you have download, you'll find an answer.
I had a very similar situation with my vibrant and treated it as the eu bug, get an external sd, partition it and install Rom from stock recovery, depending on the type of rom you are wanting to run, you will have to make a modification to the vold.fstab file. If you tell me the ostensibly you will be running I can further help you on the edits to be done to the file. (editing the vold.fstab file will allow the phone and apps to recognize your partitioned sd card in the same way it usually sees you internal sd.)

Here is the vold.fstab file for jb roms, however if you aren't using the external sd install I mentioned you shouldn't need it, if so just paste this over the existing file in /system/etc.
Thanks mate but I cant install any roms because the phone cant read the SD Card :crying:
Hopefully this isn't your issue but if it is, here is a workaround for EU bug. It says captivate but its the same for vibe.

Ok I put the Eugene Frojo again to try formatting the sd card and I got this when I attempted
Code:
Your Storage is not ready yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
Why are you trying to format the SD card? How are you trying it (in Rom Manager or on PC). Either way, STOP!!! That is part of what is messing things up. The ROM Manager format and partition options do not work correctly.
What is it that you are ultimately trying to do? Please don't say "seeing storage". That is a symptom of the problem. It seems that you are trying too many things at once. What is your goal here and once we know that, it will be better for us to diagnose your problem.

Hello mate, all Im trying to do is to access the SD Card so I can put the update file to root and the roms I want to flash. Another thing is I cant install anything because is not detecting the Internal SD card. I cant even take photos because the same reason. and due to this same reason is not detectting neither the external micro sd.
Well hello first of all this is my first time posting and sorry if it's the wrong place
So well you see I have Lenovo A516 and I had a custom lollipop ROM installed in it and my sdcard and internal storage was already linked in this ROM so I was enjoying myself until it got bricked by itself so I went into twrp recovery and wiped everything too flash ROM but it wouldn't flash because my sdcard isn't getting detected and I get following errors
E: can't mount sdcard
E: can't mount internal storage
E:can't mount sdcard while loading GUI (something like that)
And yes I have read other threads about it but my problem isn't the same ....I removed my sd card yet I still get these errors and I can't download anything out of market like songs from browser or anything ..I will check my card if it's damaged but still I shouldn't get errors after removing it which I do get so plz help me ...I thought it might be a rom so I flashed allegro ROM using PC and a flash tool but still the problem exists

This is an issue that happens on multiple devices. Happened to me on some of my older phones. I always found that it was much more effective to store the rom .zip file on your internal storage rather than your SD card.
