I dont know if there are a topic with this but i dont find any.
I create a second partition for link2sd, a ext3 partition, its work but today i changed the rom and my second partition disappear, from my phone and my pc.
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard and not recognize the second partition, only appear the first, my 4GB SD only show 3GB and no way to restore the full 4GB because MiniTool and other programs that i used dont show the ext3 partition to delete it, HEEEEEEEEELEP. I WANT TO RESTORE MY SD AND GET BACK THE 4GB.
You're using a Card Reader and NOT connecting the phone via USB right?
If your phone can read the card, format it using CWM. That'll solve the issue.

I use the phone via USB but thanks for your help, i'll buy a card reader to try that way. But i try to format via CWM and show the same 3GB. But anyway, i'll try whit a Card Reader then comment here, thanks a lot.
cheers mate i have a solution
flash a stock rom with odin
yes thats all your partition will be wiped off and your card will show 4GB again
p.s. : i have learnt this from personel experience though in my case i didnt want the partition to get wiped
ninja edit: and dont buy that card reader ... buy yourself a coke instead
how this happen????!!
This happen during when u wan to change ROM you will make a full wipe that why your partition gone..
how to prevent this happen??
Its easy before you make a full wipe make sure you eject out your SD card ..and after that you can full wipe...after full wipe its done put back your SD card... and flash the new Zip. file

ive got a sandisk 256mb card which one day decided to corrupt all my data on it and now i got boxes and symbols for the folders and i cant seem to delete these files from the sd disk from the xda or from windows, it is complaining about the data being write protected or that im unable to perform the request!
any idea on how i format this bugger?
i dont need the data on it i just need to
format it or get rid of the files on it!
any :shock: :shock: help appreciated
thanx!
Silly question maybe, but it isn't the little switch on the card, is it?
yes m8 thats the 1st thing i checked!
can a sdreader format the card ?
Weird, I just noticed I have this same problem today.
Although I have an SD card reader on my PC, so as soon as I find the drivers, I should be able to format it. Don't know any other way though
my card did the same thing
i'm not sure if it happent because i took it out while some of the programs on it were running in the background
or if the sdreader killed it
i could not format it using the sdreader or anything
solved it with this tool
it format'd the card in 10sec and it's been ok ever since
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
Here's a simple guide/solution if anyone who have problems with their microsdcard
1.Blank Sdcard notification
If u have partition on ur sdcard and u switch from 2.1 to 2.2, u need to reformat the card. Because 2.2 does not need the 2nd partition.
When u had partition your sdcard on 2.1 rom and u get blank notification, please do a reboot. it will eliminate the meassge.
ps:i do recommend using ext2 as 2nd partition and use link2sd as u can manually select the apps, dalvik-cache files and the libs files
2.Unrecognised, Failed to read sdcard, damage sdcard and etc
Required a laptop/computer assistance
Please try this method before you try anything else. usually this will solve all the problem you facing
1.Go to my computer and right click on your sdcard icon
2.Select properties and then click on the Tools tab
3.Click on error checking/check now
4.Remember to tick on the automatic fix and then click start
this will required 10 to 20 minute, depending on the size of your sdcard.
3.Last resort
Format your sdcard using your x10 or pc.
if both method cant be using, re-partition your sdcard using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0. set it as primary and using FAT32
Sdcard reading and writing speed slow?
For non-rooted and rooted user
Mount your sdcard from your pc and use this Defraggler and defrag your sdcard. credit to 28spawn
For rooted user only
go to this thread increase SD card performance(new Flashable zips), credit to KInG GaME
PS:This troubleshooting method does not 100% will work but since it works for me most of the time, so i wanted to share out. Hope I wont offend anyone.
Mod, if this thread is useless, please delete it and sorry for the trouble.
Thanks for the thread. Tried it on my sd card because it shows blank sd card after I partitioned it into fat32 and ext3 for miui cobrato rom but it didn't work. Nice share anyway.

Nope, I only put in the partitioned sd card into the phone and started it. I partitioned using parted magic. But for MIUI roms, it's needed to partition into ext3 for the ap2sd+ to work.
same problem here. i just can't seem to get the sd card to work after flashing custom 2.2 or 2.3 roms. but the sd card work just fine on any custom 2.1 roms.
i'm currently on ThGo v1.5.5e. this rom works great.
I'm using EWjet 2.3.4x. I plugged the sdcard into my pc, used mini partition tool to reduce the size of fat32 partition and making 800mb of unallocated space at the end of disk. Then I created a new partition (primary ext3) of 800mb, applied and removed the sdcard from pc.
When I plug it on x10 it says that my sdcard is empty.
I already tried to reboot twice and it keeping saying that is empty.
Link2SD says that I don't have a second partition, but I created a 800mb ext3 partition.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

btw, i would suggest u try out ex2 partition because its more common for our phone to recognize it.
sorry for late reply. i tot this thread is dead. thinking wanna ask mod to delete it
well, i tried formating it to fat32 through windows and it worked. but what boggles me is that only some 2.3 roms can detect my sd card. thgo and ewjet works just fine. any miui roms and others doesn't seem to find the sd card. it just says sd card not present or unmounted sd card.
well, i had never tried using any miui rom b4 but from what i read, its best after flashing the miui rom, it it recommended to format the sdcard
I need some help with formatting my sd card om GSII ofcourse..
First question is: What involves in formatting an sd-card, I mean does it format it to where it was when i bought it, cause i know i have lots of unused apps that i have within some tim did move them into the sd-card and now i want a fresh clean format so i can like "start over" with a new rom fresh and all that.
Second: How to do it? I've looked and searched and i must be very stupid but i can't find where there is a guide to how to format my sd card on Samsung Galaxy S 2. All i find is how to change it to NTFS, EXT4, FAT32 and so on.. Which brings me to last question: Which one should i format to to get the most out of it?
I would really appreciate some help and not flame, Just cause u know more than me..
thanks

Format SD Card via Windows explorer format FAT 32 .
Format wipes data blank SD card after .

Presumption is that users would read the manual or now how to use windows format

You may have removed some drivers when formatting it

And if that is the case any possible fix??
Had a similar problem some time ago and I fixed it by re-formating, re-partitioning and so on with EaseUS Partition Master (http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm - it's free).
If I remember correctly, I had to do it twice since after the first time it still gave me problems.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately i tried that program too and right now i dont even have the ex4 partition as i dont need it.i am using the phone normally thats why i dont go for service but i just cant transfer files from pc...

Try flashing CWM form my signature and retry formatting with it. Other CWM may be buggy.

I ll give it a go since right now my sd card is empty
Hi there,
I have a HTC wildfire [buzz] -s off, I rooted it, got cm7 on it. Now the problem is, the SD-card worked perfectly, and after a while the phone doesn't recognize my SD-card anymore. At some point it eats 4g away from my partitionated 8g SD. Then suddenly i have no SD at all anymore atleast on software cm7 running, however when I boot into recoverymode i can only have acces to that sd card while in usb mass storage device thru my pc. But can't install any apps since I was gonna install 'gapps' when i noticed SD was not recognized by cm7.... I formated mulitple times using sd-format and minitool partion a few times with different partitions one fat-32 other ext2. now 4g formatted just fat 32.
Can anybody give me a work around? I'm fairly new to rooting. So keep it a bit simple if possible.
Thanks and kind regards.
