Hi,
I would like to format my micro SD card, but I don't know how to.
I know that there is an option that says " clear storage" but it is for internal storage only ? or can format as well the sd card?
I haven't any card reader on my pc, so I have no idea about how to do it from Hermes itself. .

Keep your micro sd in card reader , you can format it only from pc.(buy one card reader)
if you want format micro sd from device , you need a 3d part application , but from pc is better.

The resco explorer, has a format storage card utility
I have done it already, and works fine.
pocket mechanic works well, also finds errors, cleans up, makes coffee etc
If you're on XP, just right go into disc management, find the card, right click, and choose format...likely a similar method on Vista, but I haven't used it.
No third party tools needed, etc.
Edit, oops my bad, I misread that you didn't have a card reader for the pc.
Another vote for Resco explorer btw, I couldn't live without it.
Well, I got 4GB Micro SD. Formatting (FAT32) done through PC but never been possible through Artemis by any of the softwares mentioned here. The SD works fine under windows, but I gatta take it out in every new ROM or Radio flashing. Is there any way to make it being seen by Artemis DOS system?
Thanks

Delete the folder "MSMETADATA" on your storage card and do a soft reset and that should work
Unless of course the sd card has failed... I had one or two do that... All you have, if the pc won't recognise to format, is a lump of plastic.... You'll have to get a new one...
phone no longer recognizes sdhc card
Okay, guys I flashed my hermes this morning with this
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html and now it no longer recognizes any of my micro sd nor my micro sdhc cards. They come up on the computer but not on the device. I even installed the sdhc.777 cab and it still doesn't work. Help please...
refuse2bstopped, try a different os... If that doesn't work you may have a broken or misaligned pin in your usb reader on the Hermes. It may also just be dirty or have some corrosion on it. If you want to clean it use a cotton bud and some isopropyl alcohol (surgical spirits). DON'T USE METHYLATED SPIRITS... It leaves a residue.
Cheers...
sir...
im just wondering if my mini sd is busted and it has no use anymore..
why can my camera still recognize that there is still a memory card installed in to my unit that its even asking me to either save the picture's towards my unit or mmc
im just wondering if it can still be recognized by my unit can i still fix it/format it so that i could use it again...??
i know your the expert on this that's why i thought of asking you this..
thanks for reading my msg'
I like to look at things step by step
1. SD card isn't recognised by Hermes - not even detected...
2. Camera detects it - did you try taking a few pictures and seeing if it actually wrote them to the card? I had a phone that registered the card but kept throwing up "sd card corrupt" every time I tried to use it.
3. Does a PC recognise the sd card when inserted into a card reader? If you don't have 1 I'd make this a priority to get, a friend of mine bought one off ebay for $5 AUD including postage...
If the pc recognises it maybe you should reformat it fat32. remember to backup any data first...
4. If the pc and camera have no problem then I'd start suspecting the Hermes... I have two sd cards so I have no problems testing but you may need to either get a smaller card - I use a 512 for flashing the os, or find someone who can lend you theirs to test. If the 2nd card reads then either the card is bung or the Hermes has a problem with it (incompatibility has been known to happen). Clean the card reader as best you can with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of cloth. There may be some type of corrosion or dust on the sd card reader contacts.
These are the steps I have taken to work out if the sd card or Hermes is a fault. Generally I find its the card (happened once to me and once to a friend).
Hope this helps...
Cheers...
Been through this. Very recently, actually. Like, last night.
I don't have a microSD reader and I found myself needing to reformat my microSD in my Hermes to FAT32. I was trying to do SD flashes. Long story.
Anyway, know what I did? I used WM5torage. As long as your ROM is functional and your SD card isn't wasted, activate WM5torage and have WinXP format your "USB Mass Storage Device" for you through My Computer. It only affects the SD card.
I mean, it worked for me.
sd 2gb
i have i sd 2gb card, my pc can see it and use it but only on fat format. i cant format fat32, i get an error(not able to complete). i cant see or use it at all on my phone. (the only selection i have to format (on my pc) is fat,fat32, default unit size)
please help, so i can use the card on my pc and phone
edit:i have searched and the only thing i saw was prog. to format sd, that prog let my pc to see the card, but lost the ability to see it in my phone. (sorry i dont remember what the prog was)
A very good (shareware) 3rd party programm comes from softwinter (storage tools)
rgs
If the PC picks it up, right click on the sd card and select format. Make sure its fat32 though. Easiest thing to do... NO 3rd party apps needed...
i guess i wasnt clear enough. my pc comes up with an error "not able to compleate" when i try to format my card in fat32 (that is when it is in my pc), but i can format fat (but thats no help for me). if i put the card in my device, it doesnt see it, so if i link my device to pc, pc doesnt see the card. so still cant format via pc.
i tried 3rd party as noted, as i thought, if my device cant see it the app cant see it.
thanks for trying, but still in the same boat.
it is a new card too, im woundering if i bought a bum card and i should return it for a new.
any suggestions welcome
Reboot pc then try again... I've had this happen too and a reboot seemed to fix the problem. Just a psychotic computer problem...Sometimes pcs can be..... TROUBLE..
Cheers...
i tried that again, still doesnt work. but i did see autoplay run this time, i think that may be my prob.. 2 progs. trying 2 run on the same source at the same time. now trying to find a way 2 shut it off (like i really need it anyway)
I have a 6gb MicroSD card, and it appears to be not working. Its a Sandisk model.
I'm using the Schaps 4.00 ROM, which supports SDHC. The trouble is, its not detecting the card. Although, when I put the card in when the camera app is open it does say that I've installed a storage card and do I want to use it. If I click yes, it goes ahead and uses the main memory anyway and not the card.
Any ideas on how I can test it? Its from eBay so returns are a last resort.
T-Mobile MDA Vario 2 btw .
Thanks,
Gav
Doesn't SCHAPS 4.00 only supports SD cards up to 4GB?
I've also got the 6Gb micro SD from Sandisk (SDHC) and it works fine with Schaps 4.00 final - also worked ok with Schaps 3.60. I got mine new from expansys and it worked fine out of the box - but after testing it I did do a full format at FAT32. Not had any problems with this.
Only thing I can think is to try it in someone elses phone and/or get hold of a Micro SD card reader and re-format (mine is micro SD to usb and also works as a memory stick).

I've tried to install a few programs on my 4 gig microsdhc card. For example iGo8 starts only a few times, then crashes. When I explored my card there were 2 folders named iGo8. I formatted the card and installed a newer version of iGo8, and same thing happened: after a few starts(working perfectly) it crashes.
The exact same iGo8 works fine with 1GB microsd.
I've tried also installing M2DC, the effect was slowing down the device, so i had to uninstall. The same with top bar customizing cabs.
PLS HELP!
I've found the solution for the nonworking card:
Hard SPL the device
Installed RuRo v.1.1 ROM
Now it's working fine!
Hey,
I have the same 4GB Micro SDHC card. Mine is working fine with music and programs being installed and run from it. I'm not sure what could be done to help fix the problem. Maybe windows update?

The same in my case, no problems over more than 6 months.

I have the 4gb micro sdhc as well. I was using it in a Nokia e71 but when I purchased the motorola backflip it didn't work. It was during this time that I noticed that I didn't have the average micro sd card. Upon recognizing this, I bought the san disk micro card reader for hc but when I insert the card into the reader using my laptop (windows 7), it freezes when I click on the reader. I have not been successful with trying to retrieve the data other than putting the card back into the nokia e71. If I could find a solution with just getting the card to read on the computer, I can try reformatting the card. Pease Help if you know of a solution.
It is a timing problem on the interface level
Hi,
when I bought my fist 3G, I've tried it with a 8GB µSD Card and I've seen the symptoms described by other user (freeze problem, very very slow motion, ...). Without µSD card, it was working perfectly.
I was sure this µSD card was working fine in a HTC HD, so I tried a slower µSD card and it was working again. But because I was unhappy with the fact that I had to slow down the 3G (by using a slower card) to get it working, I've tried to find other 3G to try my SD card... and finally, I tried it in 11 HTC 3G (that was "working" according to their owner) and on 3 of them, the SD card did not work!
So, I've exchanged my 3G and with the new one, my SD card is working perfectly.
Conclusion:
During the electronic design of the HTC 3G, the µSD interface timings were borderline. So, if you are lucky, your model supports fast µSD card, if you are not, you have to buy a slower µSD card or try to exchange your HTC 3G. Anyway, it is not a "critical" problem because it has a simple solution... But for sure, everybody prefers to be lucky
Good luck
solution for your SD card
format your 4GB SD card in FAT32, it should work I think _ ^ let me know!
I think you should fix it by these steps:
1. Replace your sdcard by another one and see if it works well or not
2. If the new one works well, then you need to change your card
3. If the same thing happens, then try to change your application or install a higher version of it

solved the problem on xperia x1
1. format in NFT
2. problem solved
what that about can anyone explain?
Hello,
Just got myself a second hand S740. The phone works fine, but one thing doesn't seem to work, my Micro SD card slot.
I tried 2 different cards, both 2 GB. The one is a Kingston, the other is a brand I don't know from the top of my head. I formatted the cards first as FAT32, later as FAT. I also tried a hard reset, but this didn't solve the problem.
Before I'm going to contact HTC about this, I want to make sure my SD card slot is really broken. I asked the person I bought this phone from and he said he always used an Micro SD card in the phone and it worked fine.
So, if the card doesn't show up in the explorer and doesn't work using the storage USB mode when connected to PC, what can I do to verify my card slot is really broken? By the way, tested cards work fine when inserted in my cardreader at my PC using a Micro SD - SD adapter.
Hello,
So my sd card (16gb) appears to have stop working and the phone gives me the message “SD Card is blank or has unsupported filesystem.” This started yesterday after I changed default storage for my camera to sd card. Before that it was working just fine.
I restarted the phone, no luck with that. Turn off phone and remove and cleaned sd card, still no luck. I plugged in my phone to the computer to access the sd card, but did not show up, I guess its cause the card is not mounted? So then I thought I’ll just plug in the sd card to my computer and back up everything and then format to correct, but no that didn’t work… when I plugged it in my computer, my computer did not even recognize my card.
At first I thought maybe my adapter is broken, so I plugged in a spare sd card (1gb) I had lying around and that on worked just fine. So I googled what could be wrong and read that it could be that the adapter does not support HCSD cards. So then I plugged in my sd card into a USB sd card reader (which had a slot for micro sd which I used), but same thing – did not recognize 16gb card, but it did for 1gb card. I checked to see if it’s a driver issue, but it was up to date. Then I doubted the USB card reader didn’t support HCSD like the adapter, so I went out and bought a new USB card reader (one that works with HCSD cards) from bestbuy (Insignia SD/MMC Memory Card Reader). Still did not recognize card with new reader on computer.
I googled to see what my options were, but the solutions that I found all had the computer recognize the card – which mine isn’t doing… but I still tried a few things I read like chkdsk in command prompt, but I got “Cannot open volume for direct access” error.
Even though my computer does not recognize the card, my phone does recognize it but corrupt and offers to format. I also tried it on different phones (Galaxy S2 T989, and Blackberry Bold 9650) to see if it can read it, but same thing it recognizes it but corrupt and unreadable.
I’m still looking around for solutions, but if anyone can help me with this, please do. Please let me know if you need more info.

Sounds like the SD is toast. It's not easy to extract corrupted data from a micro sd card
