[Q] LG Gt 540 Does not read SD card after App2sd - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, My GT 540 does not recognize any sd cards at all. It is rooted. Tried hard reset, but still no luck. Also does not connect to LG PC Suit. All the option in Settings/SD card are greyed out, so its not on mass storage mode. Phone just does not see the card at all.
This happened after I ran the scripts listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803689 - worked great at first but then I put in another card and ran the sdcard_clear.sd and the unmount_a2sd.sh scripts.
Please help, way over my head here! Thank you!

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Have you tried a new rom?

No I have not, I am not sure how to do that, especially with it not being recognized by the LG PC Suite. Ok thanks I will try to find the specific forum for the LG GT 450 - do I just search for it on the site?

First when i boot system it says: "Sd card removed, insert sd card" in tray (something like this) , i looked everywhere, even if i try to make photos it says "insert sd card"
Have you tried plugging your sd card into a card reader or another device to see whether the sd is broken?

Sure , sd card is working in card reader, also i've tried to plugging other sd's... it simply, doesnt see any sd ....
is it possible to mount sd manualy, somewhere like android configs (text files like in linux) ??
Send it back to HTC. Sounds like the reader in the phone has packed up.

The problem is - that i bought my hero in Shanghai (it was allready rooted, and oriented to sell in france Now i'm in Moscow, i called HTC Service Center and they told me that i have to wait for couple a weeks, because they dont have card reader modules to test it. I have no much time to wait, cause i'm going back to china soon in Sept. In china there are no HTC official service centers , only in Taiwan. In China HTC models are selling under the "DOPOD" trademark and i think they provide their own firmware with it (maybe i dont know). For me its a little bit complicated to describe all my problem in chiniese =) So i'm trying to find other ways to understand origins of this problem by myself...
I understand that it looks like hardware problem, but i need to be sure (because bootloader can read sd cards), so i have two questions here:
1)When bootloader starts to check roms or updates on sd card it is looking for: HIRODIAG.ZIP,HIRODIA3.NBH,HERODIA2.NBH,HIRODIAG.NBH,HIROIMG.ZIP . HIROIMG is a firmware, but what about the others? Maybe i could launch a diagnostic tool here to check my system ?
2) Are u sure there are no android configs that i can access through command promt using sdk tool usb drivers?
Thanks everyone who is trying to help me, i'm really appreciated!
Ah i missed the bit about it working in bootloader. Interesting. This would suggest it is less likely to be hardware as it doesn't perform that check when a sd-card is not inserted.
But you get nothing in recovery? Have you tried re-flashing/updating your recovery? Assuming you can put the file on the sd card.
Alternatively try flashing the official HTC WWE rru for v1.5 and see whether doing via rru is any better.
This could be a windows driver issue. Have you tried a different computer?

Recovery? u mean before i flashed official FW? NO i couldnt mount/unmount sdcard from there also.
I've tested other computers. When i connect computer and phone with usb cable windows gives me a popup window that it coudnt recognize the device. HTCSYNC, RRU tool, sdk with usb drivers nothing could see it. There is only one way to flash fw - via BOOTLOADER installation WAY
I was working with linux distributives long time ago , and i remember simillar problems there, like mount/unmount hemorrhoid . And Android is based on linux , and looks like bootloader is booting before linux thats why it works there. It seems that android fw is just a top of the iceberg, and when you flash fw probably this does't affect linux CORE....
I might be mistaken , imnot good at linux and all this stuff , thats why iam asking for help here on xda-developers, maybe someone knows ... linuxoids? ))
Or maybe i should post it somewhere else just tell me ...

[Q] Rooting Huawei Sonic

First of all i want to apologize my bad english.
I wanted to root my huawei sonic phone and i followed this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1304678
The official ROM setup to my phone went perfectly, but when i after that tried to root my phone and it failed.
The problem was when i opened the "phone bios settings menu" and clicked the update from memory card it said something that there is not any suitable file to do that.
I have moved the root.zip to my sdcard but it always says the same at the update from memory card.
I got many other files like games on my memory card if that matters it, i dont know.
I would be very thankfull if someone could help me!

Paranoid android vs mass storage problem

Hi there,
I am new here and realize I first have to search the forum for the problem i encounter , I did that, could not find the exact problem.
One mentioned slow copying but it was resolved after someone advised him to use a 2.0 usb port.
But that's not the issue in my case
I installed latest paranoid android rom as the second rom in the dualboot option from siyah kernel.
I followed all the instructions to install it correctly.
When i connect phone to pc to copy file the pc hangs, that means, the program which is doing the copying hangs, (both total commander as well as windows file explorer) have to close it with task manager, then when I browse the phone I see the file i tried to copy is present with the original size, but its corrupted, its only size being reserved for the file.
It is not an usb port problem, because when i boot the phone to my first rom (simplistic disaster) i can copy files to the phone, and its fast.
anyone have this problem or know a solution i would be be grateful, because I like the rom, but if I cannot copy files to it it goes down the trunk.
yours sincerely
Ronald
Put out your microsd and connect it directly to pc, works fine? If not it's card issue. Format could help in this case.

Thanks for your response, I did not try that before allthough im pretty sure its not the solution, because if it were the case i would have the same problem with the other rom booted.
But to not make a fool out of myself i tried it anyway s, and like i anticipated: no problems with the sdcard, the problem also occurs when i copy to the internal sd card, so its most likely some combination of the paranoid android rom with other issues .
Hard to say anything wise... I would try to find answer in rom specific thread. Hope you will solve it. Good luck!

He said nothing of posting in the thread. He said you should try to find the answer in that thread.
The 10 post rule is there to (hopefully) prevent people from posting random threads in development fora. Doesn't seem to help much though.
Hello
First, excuse for my english. I'm french, and like you know, we are the worst of the world in foreign language (thanks google Trad).
Two, thanks to this ROM, she's great, the best Rom i test since i've my SGII.
So, I'm here because i've a problem (surprised?). When i copy my music Folder (4,5Go), I've a first error message who tell that a sing have a wrong format (MP3). It's not really a problem, because I can ignore it and let the copy continue. But after that, I've a second error message for another file. This time, the message tell me that the phone not respond (sorry, I try to translate Win7, in french: "le périphérique ne répond plus") and i have to stop all the copy or ignore this file. If I ignore, I've the same problem for the following files, and all my folders are empty.
This problem appear with or not the debug mode.
Can you help me? Sorry if the question have been already ask, i've search all this afternoon (I live in Reunion Island, actually it's 5:00pm) and i don't find any answer.
Thanks a lot.

The problem you're having is normal at least for now, and I've experienced it many times.
These are my observations and how I've solved the issue in different occasions:
Observations:
- this issue occur randomly
- it's more common if your computer has been hibernated too many times without rebooting
- it's also common if an app on your phone is also trying to access your storage simultaneously.
Solutions:
- stop the copying process, and reconnect your device to the pc.
- reboot your Pc
- copy your files via Wi-Fi using apps - reboot to recovery, connect your phone to your Pc and mount your device as usb (under mount option in recovery) and copy your files.
Note:
-The solutions listed above are not dependent on each other, and one of them will sure get the job done till mass storage mode is fixed in the Rom.

Hello,
I try to connect my Gs this morning like you tell me. But it doesn't work.
Firts, i boot my PC after a good night. I re-boot my phone and after that i connect it to my PC.
The same error appear at the begining of the copy.
So, i try to mount my USB storage (i've no Wify to my job so i can't test this solution). The PC detect my phone (it was in the peripheral equipment, but the SD doesn't appear in the explorer.
I'll try to change the kernel, i would like to flash Siyah. If i'm lucky, maybe it will work. Which siyah's version is compatible with PARANOID. I maybe understand there a problem the beta6.

SO i read now its a common problem with the rom , i did not find that information yet, I now using the cynogenmod 9 from july because i was hoping to solve the mass storgage issue and guess what, the same problem, so now i know its not paranoid android related but a cynogen mod issue.
I actually have a new problem since i have a new adsl modem, cyanogen mod does not have a wps option to connect to a wifi router, the modem i have wont connect with any android device the regulary way by typing the wep password wich worked fine with other devices like ps3,TV and a laptop, we have 3 android devices (2x s2 and 1x 10.1 tablet) and all only can connect with the wps option wich unfortunally is missing in cyanogen mod
But I dont see this as a rom problem, only as a missing feature.

Which HBOOT version are you on? I suppose ICS. Is that correct? If yes, follow instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40241468&postcount=214. Those worked for me. Make sure the hTC drivers are latest with MTP driver installed and you have full root using flar2's method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2136815.
One more thing, Step 5 in ckpv5's guide is very important. This will not work if you are running Multi Mount app from App Drawer. You have to add Multi Mount Widget on desktop and click that widget to mount your SD card.

Hes pointing out that this forum has rules, you have agreed to obey them, and you right now broke first of them (and its first, because it makes sense, not because its bull****), youre most likely here just to solve this problem and not participate any further, so you dont care if you and others like you flood forum with ten topics regarding EXACTLY same problem. So use that search button, its easy. Or read some general android changelogs before complaining about USB MASS STORAGE missing (why these 3 words in capitals, its not acronym, only USB is...)
+ at least try to type name of thread in english
Multi mount working for me on Jb on ICS-HBOOT
as I followed the steps for flashing the Rom and sd card workaround exactly how ckpv5 guided
multi mount app from market works.. i tried it and worked...when you install it you have to add a widget on the screen from this app and i think on one point you have to reboot..
just try it with patience dont install it and not try everything if you have no success just tell me i ll write a full guide here so everyone will be happy..

SD Data Lost

I've somehow lost all the data on my sdcard.
Device is an LG G2 D802, running stock lollipop 5.0.2
I had my phone hooked to pc and all was OK.
Then I tried accessing a folder (after being ble to) and an error popped up on windows, I can't remember what, something along the lines of "the device cannot be accesses".
I then disconnected the USB...without first clicking safely remove...so, yes, it probably is my own fault.
Please don't point this out!
How can I retreive my data. I'm more concerned about pictures and videos.
I've tried a few apps, but aren't having much success.
A lot of files don't display correctly
Any help is appreciated
Anyone got any advice?

I have a great working solution for you.
I know a computer software that can extract your images, videos and everything in its original form.
It works on windows.
You have to connect your SD card with the help of card reader.
(Scan and recover)
Below is the direct download link for the software.

Hi thanks.
But as my device doesn't physically have an sdcard, its a virtual card as far as in aware.
And the back of the phone doesn't come off.
When I connect to PC the phone shows as a device, not a drive
