Hi Friends,
I read all the posts may be 20-30 times before I was finally able to install a Custom Rom on my Mozart. I am currently running the WP 7.8 Mozart Deepshining v6.0 on my Mozart.
Things that I had to prepare
1. Y Cable
2. 2 Micro SD cards (2 GB Kingston and 4 GB TrendMicro)
3. The WP 7.8 Mozart Deepshining v6.0 ROM
4. Active Sync for Windows 7
5. Laptop - I am running Windows 8
6. Card Reader - 2 of them
The steps I followed are the same on how to flash the customer rom on Mozart however I wanted to share the errors I made and how I was finally able to install the ROM
Y - Cable
For almost 2-3 hours struggled with the Y Cable as I did not attach the cables in the right way. So please ensure you look and look and look and look at the diagram to be sure that you have the right cables connected to each other.
SD Card
* At first started using an SD card however it just didn't work and then finally bought 2 Micro SD cards
* the 2 GB didn't work so got a 4 GB card and formatted it
* I tried various allocation unit size however what worked for me was 8192 bytes with FAT 32 (default), doesn't matter if you format it or quick format it. Worked both ways but only when I chose 8192 bytes and
Active Sync
* Tried installing it multiple times before realizing that I have to install it as an "administrator"
After multiple tries, multiple combination of formatting the SD cards it worked like a charm.
So all the best guys, I know the GoldCard method works 100% but there are lot of dependency on the Micro SD card and the card reader. If you are having challenges even after
1. Ensuring you have the Y cables connected in the right way
2. Active Sync installed as an Administrator
3. Phone in the USB mode
then the only reason you are not able to install it because of the Micro SD cards and / or the card reader. Here are few errors I faced
Error #1 : Got stuck on Loading for ever..............
Error #2 : Got into a rebooting mode, phone boots to the USB mode, then showed Loading and then rebooted again in the USB mode, endlessly
however finally when I had the 4 GB card formatted it worked like a charm. All the best guys and hope I was able to help. Please let me know if you guys are still facing challenges, I am sure collectively we can do it.
Cheers !!!!
Amber.

I am running Android 2.2 FRG33 on my hd2 and my rom is ChuckyROM GTX + CHT 1.8.5 - 23128
All of a sudden while running android my phone didn't show my SD card (16 gb sandisk micro sdhc). So i took it out and put it back in. Nothing. I switched to windows with the custom rom, but it was still not being recognized. I tried Hard reset, nothing. I don't have a adapter so i can't connect my sd card to my computer. Also when i plug my phone in i don't have the option to mount as a disk drive
Can anyone help me

Did you tray to format your SD?
I just tried it. The sd card was shown in file explorer but then it disappeared. I formatted the sd card again but it wasn't even shown in the file explorer
Come on guys, can anyone help me please ?
Allthough I don't have any experience with Android, I doubt if that's got anything to do with it.
If you look up the posts about this issue, you might get the impression that the HD2 kills Sandisk cards at one point or another.
It did so with mine. I had no other possiblility then to buy a new one
I didn't buy another Sandisk 'cause I wasn't sure which was the culprit.
I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you.
First, check that other cards work in your phone...
Then, if they do, I suggest buying a MicroSD to USB (like £2) and try formatting it on the PC...
I am hoping someone could answer this question since nobody has never asked before. I bought a Kingston 32GB micro sdhc card. The model number is SD-C02G made in Taiwan. When I popped in the card into the tablet, it says the card is damaged, formatting is needed. I tried to click on the format button and nothing happened. But, when I test the card on other devices (cell phone & camera & computer), it had no problems at all. No formatting or anything was needed. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to get this fixed?
I am running vegan tab 5.1.1 by the way.
Thanks a lot!

did you try to format using ur PC in Fat32?
nvm...problem is fixed now. i found out that the memory card was loose probably. Didnt come into full contact with all the pins. Thank you for your reply anyway.
I had the same issue with my new 16 gig card, I let the gtab format it, then rebooted with the card installed, have had no issues for 2 weeks now, card is full of movies and everything works like a champ!
Ok got my sandisk 32GB card from Amazon. I put it in the Gtab but couldn't format the card. Put it on my mac and saw it wasn't formatted at all so I formatted it. No go on the Gtab again... said I need to reformat but the Gtab wouldn't do it. I tried windows to format Fat32 with fast off but kept crashing during format (only showed 27Gb BTW). Searched around and came across windows based program from Panasonic/official micro sd standards site (sdformatter V3). Ran this program selecting all wipe options. The program took 5 days! Successfully finished this morning with correct fat32 so I thought all was well connected to both mac and windows I cant get files to transfer onto the card. I set up a couple media folders but once I start the file transfer it will give me error: improper disk ejection and still show folders. On windows I can get a few files to the card before I get ether "file is corrupt" or I can see that the transfer has stopped and I can see its lost connection between windows and SD card. Did I get a bad card or is there anything I can try here? BTW after that long and painful format Gtab could recognize the SD and I could see the folders I was able to make on the card.
Update:
Now a pop up window for fixing the card has come up on windows once I connected the card reader. I checked the 2 options "Auto fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" has been running for 10min and progress bar is half way. hope it fix my problem!
kraftweksfit,
The 32 gig cards have worked back to the beginning as far as I have ever heard.
My opinion, but if it were my card I would return it and ask for one that is not defective.
When you get a good one, make sure it is formatted (on your PC) to FAT32. I also
have found the USB port and card slot are not plug and play like Windows. I
always change them while the G-Tablet is off to all it to search and find them on startup.

Thanks for that info. I had to shut everything down as my workday was over so now after those 2 windows fixes ran I'm just getting everything back up now at home. So Ive got multiple 2GB movie files to transfer. I still get the random "explorer is not responding" freeze issue on file transfers though. Should I just keep reformatting the card to see if it will fix the issue? Or give up on it and wipe and send it back?
trojan, I've got a question. have you tried putting more than 2 gb on the card? I can't seem to find a 32 gb version of the SD-C02G. Also have you done any speed tests on it?

That Panasonic tool is a favorite over in headfi-org - I've been using the older version for years and it actually works on a Windows VM. We used to use it on our Cowon D2 to ensure that our SDHC cards were being read properly.
For v2, if you do a quick format it should not take that long.

So you think the card just needs to be reformatted again? If so I'll try the quick option. When that program took so long I thought for sure something was wrong. BTW all references to windows are on VM on my mac as well.
Should I be worried that my Gtab can't format the card? I'm on Vegan 5.1
thanks
UPDATE:So I ran the quick option of SDformat V3 with no problems, was able to transfer one 2GB movie no problem. I went to try to move more files and instantly the progress bar for transfer does not move, "more details" tab shows est. time calculating... so my guess is windows explorer lost connection with the card. also every time I eject the card/reader windows want to fix errors which I've already run so I think this card is dead!
Bad SanDisk is on it way back, after browsing amazon I came across a Kingston 32GB micro sd with adapter class 4 for 39.99 + shipping. I went for the store front offering for 41.99 + 9.98 shipping. Best price I can find for a quality card if anyone is looking for one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QQKI0G
Hello,
I saw a lot of users having issues with this card but no thread could help me so far.
Just received a brand new, genuine, 64Go class 10 Sandisk card. Was recognized by the SIII out of the box. I then synced my music on my Mac with Isyncr but all of sudden, the disk ejected itself from the system.
Since then, the card is not recognized by the phone with the well know loop "card is damaged, format it" then "empty card", etc, etc....
None of the solutions I tried worked, ie :
- chkdsk /f in command
- Easeus
- Minitool partition wizard
- Installing a stock Rom
- X2fsd
- Fat32formatter
All see the disk, delete the partition or so they say but fail at building a new one
One very weird thing I haven't seen on any thread dealing with similar issues is that all the files that were synced on the Mac do show in the explorer on Windows 7, they all can be opened perfectly well, music and videos even after all the operations I ran with the above mentionned tools
Would anyone have any other lead for me ?
Thanks for your help
I had a SanDisk 64gb class 10 die on me last week. Copied about 10gb to it and then it froze. Had to get it exchanged for another one the next day as it could not be recovered by any means...
For me the one solution that worked was to format the card as fat, not exfat, then on computer format the card as exfat.
And make sure the system can read exfat(the card reader) cause my computer can't recognize my card with the phone or the reader, so I bought a new one, it worked.
Hope this will help some.
Thanks for the reply.
Bought it from Ebay (from a reliable seller : http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) but they're located in Korea so I don't think any exchange will be possible =(
Just tried to format it in another phone (HTC Desire) and with Gparted live bootable, no success either...
And yet after all these operations, the files synced in the first place are still here !!!!
Edit : thanks smaberg. Tried that already but failed too. My computer is just 3 months old and Win 7 shouldn't require any other driver, should it ? It reads the card perfectly as opposed to my Mac so I don't think the cpu or its reader is faulty there.
mac exfat format
i got an international s3 in brazil and bought the exact same card from ebay too...
i formated in mac 10.6.8 in exfat and used the easyUMS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
and it works great... to be honest better...cose the card just showned 58G b4..... and now it shows 63.48G
but i never synced with anything...always do by hand

Hi all.
Here's the situation:
I have a 32 gb Sandisk (unsure of the class) sd card I've used with 2 different phones for at least over a year now. I took the card out of my phone to connect it through my laptops built in card reader for the purpose of transferring large files (card reader speeds are much faster than usb mounting through the phone for me). When I put it in the computer Windows wouldn't recognize it. Now it won't mount in my phone at all, and it won't work correctly on my PC. When I connect it to my computer it says the card needs to be formatted before use, but then when I go to format it, it shows up on the Windows formatting screen as only having a 30.6 mb capacity and I get the message "Windows was unable to complete the format" whenever I try to format it, no matter the settings.
So my question is, how do I get the darn thing to work again? I think something must have happened between shutting my phone down to remove it and putting it in my computer. I just don't know what. Anyone else ever experience this? (I've already given up on recovering all of my files, but if it's possible to save them that would be amazing )
Things I've tried:
formatting via Windows
formatting via android
formatting /external_sd via Clockworkmod recovery
a couple different data recovery/partitioning programs (Partition Wizard and PhotoRec/TestDisk
also using "chkdsk" in windows command prompt returns saying that the disk is in the "RAW" format.
Additional info:
Phone: Motorola Droid RAZR HD (XT926) (Verizon)
ROM: XenonHD 11.01 (Android version 4.2.2, AOSP based)
Sorry if this is more lengthy than necessary, just trying to be thorough and cover all the bases!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello friends and happy New Year ,
I have problem and I need some assistance, if it is possible (of course ).
I have bought an Kingston UHS 3 Micro SD Card and mounted it as a Internal storage device on my Nokia 5 (Android 7.1.2) unrooted phone. The thing is as I downloaded a cache file from the Google play store, my phone froze so i turned it off, and after turning it on again, it said that my card is corrupted, and that I should try formatting it, which is, you guessed it - not possible. I got a nice message from android which goes something like this : "common 7 volume partition disk 179,64 public failed with null". So I took my card reader, placed it in my PC USB port and nothing happened. My PC doesn't recognize anything, so i went to Disk Managment, and i can see it there, but it doesn't have a "Volume Letter", so I tried giving it one, without success. DISKPART doesn't work, Mini Tool Partition Wizard just freezes, EaseUS also. To be honest, I don't care for files on my card, because it didn't had any , I just want to make it work. So if anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.
P.S. I think that the card is now in "read - only" mode.
Thank you.
