Hi!,
i was wondering if you could help me with an question i have. When you are going to install a new ROM on your device (Flashing) you will probably need a SD card, and my question is ¿You need a minimun class of card? I mean, i know that is recomended to have a good quality card (Class 6 or 10), but i want to know if there is a MINIMUN CLASS REQUIRED to make flashing correctly, not to flash faster or something like that, just to get to flash WITHOUT ERRORS i don't mind if it will last 3 o 4 minutes more. To sume up i want to know if there is a Minimun class required to get to do a Flashing on my device (HUAWEI U8650/SONIC) without errors (I don't mind the time i have to spend on it). many thanks
PD: Sorry for my english . Is it so bad? Im spanish =)

Errors flashing are normally occur from a bad zip not the sd card. It really doesn't matter what sd card you use because if your phone recognizes it, then you're set.
I was in a wrong read down plz =)

No problem.
So, i can use the wors class of SD card that if the card isn't damaged the flash will be ok Isnt it?

Yeah. As long as the phone can read the SD card and you can flash you're good to go.
Thx again ^^
Class 2 is the class that normally come together with your phone, cause it is cheaper

hi guys i'm trying to find a solution for sd cards unmount on lg optimus one!!!i have a kingston 8gb cl4 and i had a 4-5 remount a day before trying this:
format with windows,choose file system fat32 and in allocation unit size choose 64 kb(should be the maximum) and give a name!
after this i had no problem for 5 days: no remount no reboot!!!
i would share this because it could be a solution....so anyone have problem may can test it!!!
there is a solid solution. buy a class 4+ micro sd..
but, kudos to you! i have a class 4+ micro sd so i can't test it out, but i'm sure others will.
btw this will kill all ur data in sdcard. backup is needed

So easy if it isn't your money that will be spent
BTW, I have a class 4 SD and it unmounts regulary, so class 4 doesn't really work.
Thanks for the tip dongimin2, I'll try it out.
before i bought kingston class 4 i had the original microsd that was shipped with optimus one and i never had problems!the problems started when i bought kingston memory!....howewer.....another day without a remount or reboot!
If speed is the problem (assuming it is), then I bet reiserfs solves the problem. That is if someone can get it to work with Android Just my opinion though.
EDIT: reiserfs for Android exists. Can someone port it for the O1? xD
8gb cl6 never once had unmount. Previously on original card, unmounts several times a day

with me happens the opposite...with original sd never had an unmount....with the cl4 8gb several!howewer i'm passed a week without unmounts!
And... what about having NO SD AT ALL? Is it possible? Does it still crash the phone?
Can someone test it (I don't own the device, sorry)?

Erm, this could really solve the unmount problem, I guess.
@kpbotbot reiserfs is goddamn fast..i have been it for past 5 years and not a single corrupt file ever..(MS needs to learn) having a2sd on reiserfs will be quite good and how abt using FAT and not FAT32 for saving data on SD..havent tried it but shudnt it work ??? Both fs have same 4GB filesize limits

But... Do android need an SD card (or an internal memory like the nexus S) to work properly? Or is it really possibile to boot without the SD

Have you tried using the old FAT on your SD? Afaik, max sizes for FAT is about 260~. I'm going to install either Debian Testing or aptosid tonight and I'm going to try out reiserfs
On the relevant side: I hope someone ports it on our kernel :/
I formatted the card from the phone , but nothing changed...i have root + milk os 1.0 touch lag kernel , before rooting + milk os kernel , i hadn't sd unmounts...i did a nandroid backup . Should i restore it ? , but i'll loose the overlock + no touch lag.. what should i do ?
Just an update: I formatted the SD card as the original poster suggested, and it did reduced the umounts considerably, but not totally.
I stigg get a umount every 5 days or so, which is surely better than twice a day
Looking forward to Gingerbread...

Hi, I am going to buy Transcend TS16GUSDHC6 for p500.
My question is that if p500 will support 16gb class 6 card ? I heard that anything over 8gb slows OS as it has to read more data.
Please help me decide.
Thanks
You can go for it.

If you don't use ext partition, than you can just copy files in explorer of some other file manager, if you using it, you will need some tool, which can copy also information about ext partition.
Teoretical you can mount ext in recovery, and just do copy of all data and than restore it. Also NAND with EXT should work well.
Your mileage wrt the capcity & class of card may vary, as can be seen here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870014
My 4GB card is just not enough for me and when I plan to get a higher one how would I do the switch process? I'm running CM7 by Mik. Will the ROM be affected in any way when I switch cards? Can someone outline the process?
I think that the rom doesnt matters..i did it like this.....
Connect your phone to pc
Copy all folders to desktop(just copy not move)
Disconnect the phone
Turn of the phone
Change sd card
Connect again to pc and copy the files from desktop to sd card
Your done

If you are using a ext already than yes. You should also backup your apps and restore it on to the new sdcard

Just speed. Therefore class 6 is recommended
tnx feeshie
sori for the noob-ish question, but what do i do with that ext and partition" that u are talking about??^__^
Another way would be backup using custom recovery, replace new SD and partition and finally, restore ur backup
Nvr bad to copy everything to computer

A partition is used by the data2sd mod. If you haven't partitioned your card when you flashed the ROM then you won't need to partition this one. Just copy all your files in your PC and paste them on your new card.
tnx a lot!!! even though i flashed a rom, partition does not have anything to do with it, right??? so i'll just copy all the files and it's fine?
There are some ROMs that require an ext partition, but mik_os's cm7 does not require one.
Yes, just copy the files and that's it.

I have an 8 GB Class 2 SD Card, does it make a huge difference? I'm guessing as in speed your talking about phone performance? Should I not use the 8 GB I have and buy another one with a higher class or does it not matter enough to get a new one?
Don't use a class2 sdcard, it's way too slow. Class 6 or higher recommended.

If the seller has a picture of the SD card the class should be next to the amount of GB and circled. So a Class 4 should have a circled 4.
thanks! ^__^

i know you said no cash but like a 2gb one is less than $10.
Otherwise i think you are SOL till you get a replacement
oh really ok i can spare some money for a 2 gig but was curious if this method will work lol

sd card blank or has unsupported file system.
i don't no whats wrong i click the notification and it asks me to format i click yes it finishes and the error message pops up again
its formatted as fat32 so i haven't a clue whats wrong anyone have any idea
Oooooo... Your SD card is corrupted...
I don't think you can open it now...
When it asks for format in phone... Don't do it...
Connect it to a PC and then format it and pray to GOD that it runs...
There isn't much you can do with sd cards unless its a class 10

its saying it on my new xperia j i got on friday. the sd is out of my ray which it still works in and it works in my x8 just not my new j ive tried different sd cards and they all say the same. im thnking its a hardware problem but it is obviously reading something. i tried using adb pusher to see if it would push files through the phone but it said ext_card faild access denied. im so frustrated
Just try a new sdcard and tell if it works or not and is the sdcard u were using of low quality?? If yes then it maynot run on such high devices...same case happened to me, so I replaced it and new one worked like charm...

Class 4 is fine...
I myself, am using class 4 SanDisk SD card... Just buy a new SD card and it has a 5 year replacement warranty... So no need to worry...
No don't buy a class 10 SD card... It will cost 5 or 6 times more than the normal class four...
There is no need for such expenditure
Check to see how the internal memory is mounted...it may be mounted as sdcard and the sdcard mounted as ext-sd or some such thing and this is why your card is working on the Ray but not in the J. You probably should check in the J forum because if this is the case it should be common and there is probably a work around. Maybe also check the other devices in the same series (Miro & Tipo???)
