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.

Thought I'd start a thread rather than jam up the beta4 thread with this...
I've flashed to beta4, dualtouch and baseband .54. The phone works completely as expected with the following exception: I cannot use the SD card.
I know the SD card is present and readable as if I boot to xRecovery it sees the card fine.
When I boot the status bar reports 'Preparing SD card' followed by 'SD card safe to remove'.
If I go into Settings->SD card & phone storage settings it reports 'Total space' and 'Available space' Unavailable. Tapping the Mount SD card reports 'Preparing SD card' in the status bar, followed by 'SD card safe to remove' again.
Apologies if this has been covered before, I started through the beta4 thread but with 482 pages of posts it wasn't easy...
Responding to my own post, I tried a 2GB non-HC card in , formatted to FAT which worked fine.
So, I backed up my 8GB HC card, formatted it to FAT32 then copied my files back and everything is working now.
You must format card in your device, no by a PC. Format FAT32 in windows I do not know why but it's not the same in the android. You will see later how a lot of files will disappear from card(like jpg, png and others). I had this problem before and after fast format in X10 and now everything is ok.
------------------------------
I testing beta 4, the only miuns is that the titanium backup does not work. After using the system is crashing. I read about busybox and xrecovery problems and I know the TB use busybox. Any suggestions?
Try re- installing TB

Couldn't format the card on the device, as it wasnt detecting (? or acknowledging anyway) the card at all.
Sticking it in my laptop and formatting it there worked fine.

Hello I have a problem, my SD card has two partitions Fat32, Ext2, app2sd and FreeX10 does not understand it. Wrote your SD is not supported file system, please format it.
Sorry for my bad English translated by Google Translate
Try doing what I did, pop it into a PC, copy the contents to a temporary folder, format the card to fat32, no partitions then copy your files back again. Worked for me, give it a shot you've nothing to lose

So what file do you need to format the sd card on the computer,? Do I just mount the sd card or what once im about to format it with?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Pop the card into a reader or adapter and slot it into your PC. What OS are you using? On Windows just open explorer, right click the card and choose format and then make sure fat32 is selected. Ubuntu or similar, sorry its been a while but I'm sure there is a format tool in the system tools? Mac? 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'

- copy your old SD card to PC via USB cable
- shut down, remove the old card, stick the new one in, turn on your phone
- let the phone format it (will prompt you if needed)
- copy the contents back via USB cable
Can do the above in PC as well, that way your phone will not even notice the card has changed.
will the "format prompt" automatically appear? how will i know if it needs a format?.thanks guys
Yes it will if needed otherwise no.

It's better to format the new card from the phone before using it, this lets you maintain the native file system and prevents any anomalies that can arise from a pre (pc) formatted card. This might also help preventing the auto unmount issue that some users have reported.
Upon inserting the new card and on powering up the phone, go to Settings -> SD Card & Storage, select the Unmount Card option, then select the Format Card. When done Mount the card if not automatically done. Ensure that you have taken a backup (if you have some data on the card) before you format the card.

It is not necesasry to format a newly bought sd card as all sd cards come pre formatted with the file system that suits it best(FAT32). SD Card manufacturers will never ship an unformatted card.
If you get unmounting issues with a new card its prolly not the cards fault but the phone's firmware.
hey guys, it seems that the sd card that i have brought does not need formatting,.i just copied everything to it and it works just fine! thanks again for all your help!!! shalom!^^
Yeah. It doesn't need formatting. Recently I bought a 16gb card, switched off phone, took out my old card, inserted new one phone, went into recovery, partitioned it with recovery, inserted old one in laptop card reader, USB toggle in phone, copy and paste all old SD contents to new one, then disabled USB toggle, restore a nandroid backup with ext4 and finally reboot. Phone was as it was before. But now 16gb from 8gb.

Hello I saw he video how to change int sd with ext sd so the phone thinks it has more space and so on... The truble is I need to format sd card to fat 23. And life does wonders - my card reader suddenly stopped working and I cant conect it to pc and format the card. Any way to go around that? Maybe there are apps that can do it in the phone? Coz I cant find them.

if you are rooted you could try to format the card in CWM, not sure though if it is 1) possible and 2) if it is then formated to Fat32 or the system you had on it before.
You could also try to connect your phone to your PC and format it that way.

Hello, ty for taking the time to answer, but i tried both of those things, both in pc and cwm i can format, but i cant select how to format, i dont know if it formats to fat or to fat32 or to something other. Besides after trying to format i tried to use the int to ext sd swaping (the thing that i wanted to do in the first place and the reason why i need to format to ext 32) and it didnt work so i believe that formating without selecting TO WHAT to format doesnt work.
So basically my 16GB SD card was working fine but I was missing a few gig due to an old apps2sd partition I had for an older phone s I copied everything off deleted the ext partitions and reformatted to fat32 but now settings force close if I go to storage and recovery restarts if I try to format it? Any ideas?

Download the sd formatting tool, format it with that in your pc. If it still won't work then bin the card.

What about TWRP? Try to flash a kernel with TWRP and see if you can mount it there. Just try it

I checked this too. Intal zip>see sd card, sd ext and system folders, go to sd and is only TWRP folder but i don`t have it on sd and nothing more. If i put a rom in this folder don`t see too. I thought my sd was broken but i repaired it by bootice. Before computer cannot format it to any format exfat too. I think something is missing in file system on my card.
