I don't have a memory card reader handy.. I tried using the memory card reader on my hp printer and I just get a memory card error
how do I format the sd card using the hero? Is there a command I could send? It is rooted fyi
I tried mounting the drive and right clicking on the letter and format but it just ejects it and prepares the sd card on the hero
pls help
Under settings, SD card & phone storage,unmount SD card, then select format SD card.
My hero isn't letting me format my 2gb microSD card.
I've unmounted the card, pressed format and nothing appears to happen.
I can mount the card to my pc and see all the files on the card, so it's not corrupt.
Is there an app that will allow me to format my card?
I've been trying to format my SD card for most of the day. I simply can not get the card to be formatted in my phone/usb card reader.
I can write to the card but it's refusing to format. This seems strange to me? Does anybody know of a work around?
Dear Friends,
I currently have a 16GB memory card partitioned with a 2GB ext4 partition which is used by Link2SD. A couple of days ago I bought a SandDisk 32GB Class 4 memory card and partitioned it using MiniTool on Win 7 and created a 2 GB ext4 and the rest was FAT32.
I did it while the card was inserted into my Neo. Now, after reboot or so, the phone doesn't recognize the card.
What can be the reason behind this and could you provide any solution on this?
I would be very thankful to you. Thanks.
Try formatting using cwm recovery...
I formatted and partitioned my 32GB SD card several times, using MiniTool, with SD in phone. Never had any problems.
AFAIK both partitions should be primary. First FAT32, and second ext.

You would need a memory card reader for this. Put the memory card into card reader and then insert it into your pc. And format your memory card with allocation unit size as default. But your memory card will still remain partitioned.

no need not use a chip reader, i several time created 2nd partition on my 16GB micro SD SD card by connecting my phone into the PC. If you use "USB connectivity" as "Mass storage mode" we can mount SD into the PC and create another partition using minitool.
Try to create both partition FAT.

Thanks keekoo, the only thing that I may have missed would be that I did not make the ext partition primary. I am already partitioning and formatting the SD card as I type this with your advice. Hope it works.

THANKYOU SOO MUCH. This solution helped me get my xperia play's 16GB SD card mounting correctly. I had created the 2nd partition as logical instead of primary and I was wondering why it wasn't doing anything when putting it in my xperia.
I have been following several guides on how to partition my sd-card but everytime I end up with the phone looping at boot.
I have a xperia v with a 32 gb sd card. the card works but when I partition it to 2 new partitions the phone wont boot.
All help are welcome.

yes, when you using minitool partition wizard to create a new partition and dont forget to mark it as primary. then it can be recognized by your phone.
I notice that I have been getting corrupted pictures. Has this happened to anyone else but me? Or is it the SdCard?
Is it a brand new micro sd card? what's the capacity? When I first inserted my brand new 32gb micro sd card it wasn't recognizing it. So I formatted mine via pc as fat32 and it didn't give me any issue after that. Try that and hopefully it works for you.

It was my first microsd card, 32 gb Gskill class 10. I formatted via SDformatter on PC.
Try to format the card on the phone itself. With my new 64gig card, I try to do so on my PC and gave me problems at first. After trying it on my phone it has worked flawlessly thus far.
Be sure to unmount the drive properly in Windows. SD cards can corrupt when you just unplug the phone without unmounting the drive first.
Alternately, on your phone you can switch to 'charge only', which does the same thing.
My phone is asking me to format my sd card out of the blue. I have a 32gb Kingtson, I have a lot of crucial data. I have not yet formatted the sd card. I've tried conventional ways of getting my data like using GETDATABACK FAT32 but it did not work. I have used other but no to avail.
Does anyone know what is the best method to recover files from a sd card that was working but now it is not?
Go to settings>storage and unmount microsd. Remove the microsd feom ur phone. Use a microSD card adapter ... a full size sd card that u can put ur microsd card into and will fit into your pc. Click and drag important data from microsd onto desktop. Then fat32 format the microsd and reload the data onto it. Done.
Or u can upload all data to dropbox and then format amnd reinstall... but it may take a while.
