SD card shot - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I haven't flashed a nightly rom since cm7 nightly build 10 because it disrupted my SD card. So I haven't been on the forums since then so I feel out if the loop. Do we know if my SD card is fried and unable to use again. And if so where's the best place to get a new one

Back it up if you can, and if not you could lose all your data on it. I know a lot of people get them working again with just a reformat sometimes you have to use another device to format it completely...camera, xbox, or PC,...I use my digital camera and it works great

SD Card and Roms! [HELP!]

Can anyone tell me why Cynogenmod, MIUI, and Vanilla Gingerbread all have problems reading my SD card? I REALLY want Vanilla Gingerbread but it won't read my card like the others. It flashes but keeps saying "SD damaged." It won't let me use it. I reboot, do a battery pull, and do a hard reset but nothing works! It works fine on my PC. It works fine on Evil Fascination and Community Rom! I hate stock! Any help is appreciated! I've only been an Android user for 2 months now and still learning!
No offense dude but do a search.

It's a known issue that has been popping up with the latest vanilla gb and CM7 roms. It is not an issue with the v2 rom of VGB or earlier.
nobody really knows for sure. I would just stay away from those roms until it gets figured out...atleast I am.
Has anyone tried v 2 of jt's kernel? He claims that it helps with the SD card issue

Mine just started doing it within 7 hours of flashing vanilla. Miui had no problems.

Well, I bypassed the SD card errors. Now it was getting gapps to flash. I just gave up and went back to stock. Also, for some reason, my Nandroid backups won't work. It says it has an error restoring system. I'm sick of using titanium bu just to get my apps back. Ill continue to try different things if Nandroid would just work. Anyone know why it doesn't work?

I have been running the powerwashed eh09 gb rom with tks kernal for a day now... I would tred lightly with the cm7,aosp gb roms....I read on rootzwiki some are still having sd cards fried.
I'm not sure about the fried sd-card on CM7 but CM7 has been working great for me and highly recommend it. Especially, with the nightlies.
I could never successfully run CM7 or any other MTD based rom. CWM would never mount my SD card and CM7 constantly told me my card was damaged.

Thanks for this reply because it seems everytime I warn folks about those roms, somebody will chime in how well it works for them. Which is perfectly fine but in reality its a crap shoot and cm7,aosp,miui may work for some, but fry others sd cards.
Just wondering, JJHunter, do you use the sdcard that came with the phone or did you buy a new one?

The SD card issue was due to a kernel change that was reverted. There is no SD card issue now.

Yes I know... but I still wont recomend those roms to new users for the simple fact they could easily flash the wrong version and bork a sd card.

(R) Mod to have phone recognize removable SD card as internal

Is there a mod out there that mounts the external,removable micro sim card as the internal sdcard, and the internal as the external? I have a 32gb class 10 SD card and at this point it is practically empty because all of my nandroids are on the internal SD. It would rock if someone could make this and inwoukd definitely donate to the person who is willing to help. It is getting annoying because I am already almost out of space on my internal SD. Thanks in advance

I'm not sure how to answer your original question but you can move nandroid backups to your external sd card and if you need it, move it back later.

Yes i know that, but that takes too way too long and it is a pain in the ass. But thanks
what would possibly warrant posting this in the dev section?
I swear someone did this for the international. Or it may have been another phone I have but I know its been done. But even the Dec who wrote the script.to join the partitions said he wouldn't use it on a daily driver. I think it was just more a proof of concept

It can be done with CM7. There is a setting in there to swap the cards so that the internal will be emmc and external will be sdcard. Some people have accidently swapped them and didn't know how they did it or how to get it back to normal.

Cm7 Sd card mount problem?

Sorry If this has been asked already.believe me i have tried searching. My phone is on official cm7 rc1 and works fine except at random times, about twice a day, it says sd card is safe to remove. It won't let me use any application on my sd card after this and it won't let me remount it again. How can i fix this? Is it a kernel problem? Thanks a lot!

Hi! Try switch to only 2G. It worked for me !
Do you mean only use 2g instead of 3g?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
First of all, instead of creating a new thread for such a query, you could have simply asked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211969
Secondly, what is the class of your SD Card?
Not sure.it's the one that came with my phone. 2g that's all i know

Sporadic reading 16gb micro sd

The last 3 roms I've had have either not picked up my ext card at all or picked it up one day, and not at all the next my roms were( j.bam 5.1,5.2,6,6.1,6.2,6.4)(p.a. 4.0)& most recent Pacman, disaster v10(current) I have the micro sd in right now and nothing shows

Well it be better if you address this problem in the thread linked to the rom you are using.
As this be the best and quick way of getting feed back if others on such rom are having problems..
Try another sdcard also..

There must be something wrong with your SD card. try connecting it to a pc and see whether it detects your sd card
I've tried the sd card in my laptop and another phone, both have no problem

Have you tried flashing a different kernel? Dorimanx version that suits your Rom? Dorimanx 8.1 is very stable or v9's if your Rom uses the new Mali blobs. I have seen sdcard issues resolved by flashing a different kernel in some Rom threads. Siyah vsync could also be an option.
