according to Tom Gray, who's leaked fixed files I'll post later, to fix the sd card issue, remove autorun.iso from the /system/etc/ folder asap. it embeds itself in the sdcard and does some strange things.
just passing it along. will post newest gb leaked fixed files in the am when they are released on fb, unless someone beats me to it.
Nameless doesn't include that file and people are still getting burned SC cards from that ROM.
It was a nice try, but that's probably not the problem.
from what I understand, it's included with the ec09 leak, then it embeds itself in the sdcard. could happen prior to flashing perhaps. perhaps not. just passing along some info, hoping to help.

That makes sense then, as you're supposed to ODIN the leak before flashing nameless or some other ROM.

You don't have to ODIN.. Nameless is flashable from existing CWM I thought..?

It doesn't happen, because my ROM formats all partitions where data is stored by the OS. The file isn't included with the ROM as said before, and even if you did flash the stock ODIN before you flashed the ROM, the ROM will format the space where that file would exist, therefore it would never be there.

I thought you have to ODIN the leak if you are coming from froyo or something else.
IMO the GB Leak was one of the fastest rom's I have tested to date. I did not have any SD Card issues with it so not sure what I had done differently than others or perhaps I was just lucky. My only problem was that network-location based apps would not load.

its the gingerbreak app people are using to root the phone not the leak itself

that's an interesting comment... I used the psneuter hack in SoC as opposed to the gingerbreak version of rooting. Maybe that's why I haven't had any issues. Could be a break there.

Let me ask this, did everyone who have their SD cards fried, odined to EC09 first, then re-root your phones?
Any methods that you use to root gingerbread roms, is called gingerbreak, and it has problems frying SD card.
So for those of you who came from Froyo, but didn't care about EC09 modem, flashed the EC09 roms, without re-rooting, should not have the SD card problems.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
"WARNING: Apparently on some devices the root exploit causes the SD card (internal or external) to be formatted. Also, if it gets stuck but you do see the card mounting/unmounting, try formatting your SD card yourself and try again (or use a different SD card) -often this works (a fix for both issues is being looked at)"

I have had zero SD card issues with EC09. I did odin the full rom/modem, them used the gingerbreak apk installed from SD card. I also have tested out navenedrob's Nameless v4.1, gonna use it daily, for now, I really like it. I have also tried out jptech's TechnoROM v1 test, not a fan of the launcher. I have flashed both roms and odin'd the ec09 leak several times in the past few days, no SD card issues. the browser downloader, and the market however, hope that gets figured out soon. And FYI nameless v4.1 with nemesis2all OTBv2 recovery and netflix I have been wearing out the battery watching cartoons.

I never odin'd the leak, I just flashed nameless via cwm so I didn't have to reroot. However my SD still died after about 12 hours. I agree there must be some reason some have issues and some don't but I don't think that's it.

I followed these directions to load EC09.
http://t.co/3jqjJNV
I've been running it now for a week and I haven't had any problems at all.
In fact so far this has been one of the better roms I have ran, battery life on this leak has almost been double what I was getting on any other were I would be lucky to get 20hours. Now at that mark I still have almost 40% left.
I do have to say that it does run quite a bit slower though .
Where on froyo everything was snappy this thing takes some time to process even simple things, but I would totally exchange speed for the battery life I have now.
Just follow p3droids instruction on loading EC09 and rooting it via adb and your good to go.

I did this and it killed my SD card.
As soon as I loaded the EC09 leak, the phone refused to recognize the pre-installed sdcard, which was a class 4. Once I switched to a class 6 card, I have not had any problems. BTW, I used SuperOneClick to root the EC09 leak.
Over the past week I have been trying to jump over to CM7 and keep having the same problems with my sd card. I flashed cwm4 for CM7 before flashing CM7 and that goes fine. CM7 installs fine.
I get a damaged/unrecognized format on my SD card while in CM7...so I erase/format it in CM7 (I have it backed up), then load all the stuff back to it. The main problem is when I want to flash other things while on CM7. I get to recovery via shutdown menu and cwm refuses to mount my sd card. I've tryed my 8gig and 32gig sd cards. I've tried battery pulls and taking out/putting the card back in.
Right now I'm back on ComRom and my sd card has never had a problem in cwm or on the rom itself.
Anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Hmmm that's tricky...are you using the 7/17 build or the nightly? I'm on the 7/17 build and have never had sd card issues
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I've run into similar problems with both cm7 and miui. See my post damaged/blank sd card several posts down. Someone suggested that cm7.1-pre had fixed the problem for him, but I haven't been able to get more about that. I've gone back to ed05 until a stable build of cm7 comes out. It's ugly to look at touch wiz and it's a little slower, but it's nice for everything just to work.

Hi I want to know why my phone says that my external SD card is unavailable even though I inserted it. It doesn't even do a media scan of it. Also my SD card reader sometimes doesn't hold my SD card and I don't know why. Someone please help and thank you in advance. I also forgot to say that it started to do this when I flashed gb bootloaders and started using 2.3/ 2.2 roms.

External SD card should not have an issue mounting to the phone or the PC this is an old issue that has been addressed in all newer releases of ROMs. Make sure you are running the most current release of whatever ROM you are flashing. I do know that if you flash a 2.3 ROM depending on the ROM you may or may not need to flash GB Bootloaders in order for you to see the external SD card on the phone. Everything should be in the OP of whatever you choose to flash.
Good luck!
I am on simply honey 5.0 rc1 and it says unavailable for every rom I try to flash.

I'm really not too familiar with that particular setup, link maybe?
Honestly if its happening with every ROM and ODIN doesn't fix it for you I would assume hardware defect.
Good luck!
I can't seem to find how to prepare my phone for a mtd (cm7,miui etc)
What are the positives and negatives to a mtd rom?
Backup market apps. install the mtd ROM and your good to go. restore market apps if you want.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
It's when you're going back from an MTD to a non-MTD ROM that you need to use Odin and do a repartition. Going TO the MTD ROM is handled by the installation script.
i have tried everything and i cannot get around the "trying to mount SD card" when CM7 is trying to install. i have Odined like 3 times, formatted my SD card 4 times etc..i have followwed all directions to the T.
what is up with this???
Also, im using a 32 gig SD card if that makes any diff

Try a different sd card, then start trying different stock packages...my phone would only flash mtd off of a fresh dl09 install...it seems other fascinates will be different. Try ed05, eb01, dl01, pwgb eh09...etc
also try odining without pit file.
another method I seen a member use is to pull sd card(unmount first), odin the stock ec09 package(it's a few pages back in the dev section), boot once, power off, odin cwm4 fixed for cm7, install sd card, three finger into recovery, then flash cm7.
Okay, so I rooted and installed ICS passion on two friends Vibrants. Followed directions and everything turned out great..
My question is why is the extra step of flashing GB prior to ICS necessary? Most devices I've owned have been HTC, so the process for HTC devices is much more familiar to me.
I have some ideas what it might be (bootloader and modem are Included in ROMs in some cases?), but the reading I've done has not given me any real answers. TIA.

Its not. I had to Odin back and went straight to ics. Flash twice, once for compatible recovery second to actually flash rom.
Flashing gb specifically cm7 would also get you the compatible recovery.

Gotcha. Just couldn't figure out why the tutorials said to flash CM7 prior to flashing ICS. Thanks for the info!
I have always been under the impression that flashing CM7 before ICS bc it re-partitions the external_sd to emmc.
Plus RULE #2 follow OP (that is what Neo says to do and he created the ROM)
RULE #1 (make a friggin' backup)

Doesn't make sense to me.
Why would external SD need to be partitioned? Internal SD partitioned into pieces for system data etc.. external sd is entirely different.
Ics just changes the routing to ext SD I think.
I have had no prob flashing ics from stock.

Yeah, none of the update-scripts format external partition.. That's not it. I do believe it has to do with the recovery as you said previously.
