I can't format my micro sd card to create exe3 partition with mini partition tool it sais it is write protected...I have done this hundred times why now ...any help is welcome, thanks
You mean ext3 partition.
Well there is a switch on the card adapter, which says Lock. If you haven't noticed, there is the solution. ;-)

I may have encountered a hardware problem with my SGS2. Hopefully I'm wrong, and it can be corrected with software. Anyway, I have a 4GB MicroSD inserted into the phone, but it is not recognised at all.
Under "Settings > Storage" the SD card section says unavailable for both "Total space" and "Available space". The options for mounting and formatting the SD card are greyed out.
At first I thought the MicroSD might not be listed there, and instead was /sdcard/external_sd, but when I copied some files to that directory, they were not on the card when I checked on my old phone. I also copied a file from my PC to the card via my old phone, then searched, to no avail, to find it on the Galaxy S II.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Format the card via PC card reader . I just shoved 16GB card in and it works .
jje
I have done that. It works in my Xperia X1i. Should I be using FAT32? That is what the card us formatted as, but maybe I should try ext4 or ntfs?

Fat32 should be fine, check the card for errors on your pc? I've just put my 16gb in and it's working fine...
Do you think it could be a fault with the phone? Maybe a damaged card reader? When the card is accessible, where in the file system is it found? /mnt? I know the internal storage is /mnt/sd card.
EDIT:
Never mind, I borrowed another MicroSD, which worked fine. The problem must be with the formatting of the card. Thanks for the help people.

Hello all,
I used a windows-xp to flash nAa-kernel05 and upgrade to miniCM7 2.1.3.
Once done, the phone booted properly. My SD apps work .. but the SD card does not seem to be accessible. In gallery it says: SD card blank or not present. Music player says no SD. Storage settings show no SD ..
It seems that the Fat partition is messed. How can I fix?
I'm not sure if it is related to the miniCM7 update.
Any clue?
i had similar problem ..
try to format your sd card with this software:
Code:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
I do not want to format, my data is accessible via card reader.
The sd card was running few hours ago.
I did the following (with no luck)
1- Using windows, fixed errors in fat32 partition
2- Missing "/system/xbin/parted" copied with pernissions
3- Reboot many times, wipe cache partition and dalvik
4- Edit the default capabilities xml file at the SD root, edited <boot> to have a low-case R after unlocking kernel.
Still cannot find the solution for my problem

Exactly, and also try to partition the sd card with minitool partition wizard, and then install apps in your sd, they might work better with an ext 2 partition, thats what i did, cuz my cards 8 gig, and fat is not an option.
I just tried to upgrade to 16 gb card and my phone did not like it. Random shut downs, apps did not run etc. Do I need to format the card in a special way before I can use it? I did a full clean install before trying a new card.
It may just be a dodgy card though... It works fine with my old 8 gb card.

Dear Friends,
I currently have a 16GB memory card partitioned with a 2GB ext4 partition which is used by Link2SD. A couple of days ago I bought a SandDisk 32GB Class 4 memory card and partitioned it using MiniTool on Win 7 and created a 2 GB ext4 and the rest was FAT32.
I did it while the card was inserted into my Neo. Now, after reboot or so, the phone doesn't recognize the card.
What can be the reason behind this and could you provide any solution on this?
I would be very thankful to you. Thanks.
Try formatting using cwm recovery...
I formatted and partitioned my 32GB SD card several times, using MiniTool, with SD in phone. Never had any problems.
AFAIK both partitions should be primary. First FAT32, and second ext.

You would need a memory card reader for this. Put the memory card into card reader and then insert it into your pc. And format your memory card with allocation unit size as default. But your memory card will still remain partitioned.

no need not use a chip reader, i several time created 2nd partition on my 16GB micro SD SD card by connecting my phone into the PC. If you use "USB connectivity" as "Mass storage mode" we can mount SD into the PC and create another partition using minitool.
Try to create both partition FAT.

Thanks keekoo, the only thing that I may have missed would be that I did not make the ext partition primary. I am already partitioning and formatting the SD card as I type this with your advice. Hope it works.

THANKYOU SOO MUCH. This solution helped me get my xperia play's 16GB SD card mounting correctly. I had created the 2nd partition as logical instead of primary and I was wondering why it wasn't doing anything when putting it in my xperia.
I have been following several guides on how to partition my sd-card but everytime I end up with the phone looping at boot.
I have a xperia v with a 32 gb sd card. the card works but when I partition it to 2 new partitions the phone wont boot.
All help are welcome.

yes, when you using minitool partition wizard to create a new partition and dont forget to mark it as primary. then it can be recognized by your phone.
I've been having a few problems with partitions recently, how do I remove sd card partitions???
Also why is minitool wizard taking so long to write partitions, especially 500 mb?
Format your sd card from some other phone like an old version of nokia.

If you saw my other post,its similar to this one? My question though is by default,what partition are SD cards set at? I had read thru other website searches,that it was exFAT? If that were the case than my android phone wouldn't recognize a brand new 16gb class 4 sdcard right? Than in which case I would have to format the card to a fat32 format?
If this helps,my ps3 also doesn't recognize the 16gb card but it does recognize the 8gb...I remember formatting the 8gb one to fat32 which by process of elimination makes me assume the 16gb card is on a format incompatible with my android phone/ps3...
Which software would y'all use to partition the entire 16gb card? I can't use my phone as my phone doesn't even recognize the card. As a matter of fact while in recovery it tells me there's an error in mounting

I am attaching a very basic Windows tool to format SD cards to FAT32, simple!
Is it possible that this sdcard came with a different partition that's inconsistent with both android and my ps3...ohh and I haven't ruled out the possibility of having a problem with the sdcard slot. I've had problems with the 8gb one working but its working fine now. They are two different manufacturers with these cards....maybe this 16gb card isn't partitioned with fat32....
