I was trying to reformat my internal sdcard using windows and somehow messed it up. I cannot see it or format it from within android or windows now. It shows up but only as much as to tell me that it needs formatted.
How can i fix this?
And after it tells you it needs formatting in windows it doesn't give you the option to go ahead and format it? Should be FAT32 btw...
Try right clicking on Computer and go into "Manage". Then go to Storage > Disk Management. See if you see it listed there. It should give an indication of whether it is healthy or not. You can select it in there and format it there if it will let you.
still formated wrong
Thanks for the response sorry it took me so long to respond back.
I can only format it from recovery, otherwise it shows the device but says there is no card installed.
from recovery i formatted it fat32 but then upon reboot it doesn't show up as a readable partition as in i cannot put files there or anything else. It doesn't complain about it being corrupt any more.
Any other ideas? i have a feeling i need to format it from linux but dont know the details.
Thanks
EDIT: i ended up going back to RUU and it fixed it. Thanks

Can someone verify in Windows explorer the size of the interal SD card.
I fear I screwed it up by using Rom Manager to format the SD Card and would like to see if my phone is reporting the full capacity of the card or if it has been partitioned by Rom Manager.
Thanks.
According to my Vibrant, the internal storage seems to be just under 13GB.
Mine is just above 13Gb.. Why do you ask?

Internal SD - 13.03GB
I ask because no program will format my internal SD card.
Froyo no brick does not repartition the device.
I have used ODIN with and without "repartition" and it always just leaves the files and partition structure the same.
Is there an ADB command that will manually restructure the internal SD and format it. From there I should be able to ODIN back in to flash to stock.
Everytime I do the ODIN to get back to stock, no matter what settings or rom I use, it will not repartition.
I also always get a checksum error when I boot into recovery mode.
I was never able to flash a VOODOO rom either.
I get an error that it is not compatible??? Maybe because the NAND has been resized? I did verify that I do not have the large NAND.
maybe someone could help by running a "df" on a root shell (termina, adb shell, etc.) and post the result so I can compare mine to yours
here is what i get
well your pic shows that you have 13GB in your phone, that is pretty much wat everyone have. so no worry. but as your problem strucking you, u guna need a guru to help you out. sorry i can not help you here.

Yeah, figured I need a real android sdk pro to figure out how to get this straight.
I see the 13gb and that looks good, just wondered if all the other partitions are like everyone else.
I think I selected a swap file size from the partition sd in clockwork. Maybe that swap is the wrong size....who knows???
Thanks anyway though
after bricking and recovering the phone. my permissions on sd card will not change, so trying to update with a zip brings up error. i have no tick marks in user at all. When I try and press ok. they don't save. tried another sd card, still the same. anyone any idea's?
Did you sort this? I'm having a similar issue, my phone's not bricked though.. just can't write to my SD card..
I get this error message when I try to change permissions: "sdcard permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only."
try use ur com to fix it. right click on it and select properties and then on the tap tools, select error checking then select check now and then click start
make sure that the automatic fix error is tick.

Got my PC reading my SD card.. formatted NTFS and now it won't mount in my phone (HTC Desire HD)..
I'm under the impression it's better to format NTFS than FAT32 with Android's file system..?

harlo.. well, fat32 are universal because all android phone can read it. usually the main part for the sdcard is fat32, as far as i know. so i suggest you to use fat32 instead of ntfs
correct me if im wrong
Yip, I took the looong route!! Had to re-format with FAT32.. to add to my frustration, 2 out of the 3 laptops we have at home could not read the SD Card when formatted NTFS! Finally got it sorted on a Vista machine.. lol at least Vista's good for something
So, all sorted. Thanks for the love
i used my 8gb spare sd card to record a concert and take some pics with my thunderbolt, it worked amazingly. Until the last song, when the battery died during recording. I thought no big deal, i'll just charge it when i get home.
But when i came home it said "sd card corrupted: format now?" or something along those lines. When i plugged it into my computer it said the same thing.
Thing is i know pictures and videos were recorded because i was watching them over again on my thunderbolt and they played fine.
I don't want to loose over 300 pictures and 2 hours of hd footage, can ANYONE help.
sorry if this is the wrong section.
if it is saying something like "Scan to fix errors" when you plug it into the computer, hit cancel.... never seen a format warning.

your card sounds corrupted.... format to fat32 in windows.
Check the sd card on pc and see if you can right click on it and go to properties, see if there is a scan and fix option...

wouldn't let me format to fat32. had to format to NTFS. IS there any way i could even get back some of the files.
If you formatted you are toast. Sounds odd that you couldn't format to fat32 in windows. If you are rooted you will need to reformat it again...do it from within clockwork recovery under mounts and storage.

Hello guys,
at first i want to explain what happened to me:
i wanted to format an usb-stick on my pc, i used windows' diskpart in the cmd.
well, somehow i maid something very wrong and formated the sd-card of my sgs2, which was connected in the "usb-connection"mode. Well, it was no problem for me, the datas (music and pictures) are safed. but the smartphone don't recognize the card anymore could be because i formated it in ntfs. Well, the storages is always shown in the computer, as soon as i plug my phone in. i don't need to activate the usb-connection mode.
well i'm on a pacman rom and the following is my kernel:
Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.1-[00-49]-[07-03]-JB-CM-AOKP-SGII-PWR-CORE
i could format the card with the pc i think, also did it as a fat32 file system, but nothing shown in the phone.
can anybody help? maybe format it with a terminal emulator or so?
thanks for any suggestions!
greetings
Format in CWRecovery.
thanks for that tip.
i tried it, via mounts and storage, but i get an error:
"
Formatting /emmc...
Erro mounting /emmc!
Skipping format...
done.
"
i think i should format the storage via the pc, but how :/
Try formating sd card using a linux pc
I did same thing with a flash drive and worked
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with PACMAN ROM v22.2 and DorimanX 9.20 kernel
that's a good advice.
do you have had the same things as i? so that you can see the storige when the device is active and plugged in? i'll try it later in the evening with a live linux, if i can't get any other solution on windows
Let us know how you get on/if it works. Using a LiveCD & doing it could be a good solution for someone else who finds nothing works (Rather than going the whole hog & doing a full Linux install they'll never use again).
i'm not sure if linux can do more than windows. i've formated the stick 3 times now, once with the diskpart console-programm, well this time "format fs=fat32" of course, than via "computer" (rightclick, format) and here also fat32... then i tried this tool:
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
nothing to see in the smartphone either.
of course i've unplugged the cable before.
do you think it could help to do a flash via odin? well, for this i could need some instructions, it would be great to flash a custom rom, because i wouldn't use the stock rom.
but so far thanks anyway for your help, very nice how fast you reply ;D
and here a little apology, i'm very sorry for my english. i hope you can understand most of it ^^
Your English is good
Hmmmm. I'm not sure flashing anything in Odin would help, flashing another rom won't make any difference (Because this is kernel-side). Though I guess you could try flashing another custom kernel/reflashing the one you're using, but that would probably only be useful if there was something funky going on with CWRecovery causing your attempts to format through there to barf.
How about restoring a nandroid backup ?
To be honest, I've heard worse ideas than the Linux suggestion.
a nandroid backup isn't such a good point i guess.
because it contains the apps and so on, and i can't have an backup because i cant flash anything in the cwrecovery (because it cant mount the /emmc)
i think something tricky is up here, otherwise i could mount it easily in the recovery menü, but no chance. i tried it with a terminal emulator with the lines:
su (so that i'm superuser) then of course i accepted the su-prompt, and then typed:
mount -o remount rw /mnt/sdcard
but something must be wrong there because of the following error:
mount: Invalid argument
when i go to settings-> storages i have the internal storage with ~2GB for apps and so on, and it shows another "internal storage", where there are 2.00B used by "other"... when i click on that i see a .defaultrom data, nothing more.
any suggestions what this means? do i have an internal storage mounted where there is a 2bytes file and nothing more free?
that "re-partition" option in odin seems to be interesting.
do you think a flash of an emmc_EXT4_16GB.pit with the "re-partition" field ticked could help me?
EDIT:
fixed it 8)
well but i don't just want to tell how i did it, firstly i want to tell that it wasn't such a deep thing as "sectors broken while formating" or something like that. i really don't know the reason for myself, but i fixed it without the pc. i tried to format the storage with linux, there i tried ext4 and fat32, nothing worked.
than i googled a bit with the live linux, than i found someone who had the same problems like me. Well, he wasn't finished where i was, because he got the problem again after flashing a cm 10.1, but i don't need to flash it, and i dont think i will get the problem, because i got it in a different way than he (he installed cm10.1 from an external sd, than the internal didn't showed up)
Well, i dont want to write longer, i'll tell how it worked:
go to settings -> backup and reset -> factory data reset and in the next page tick "Erase SD card"
this formats the card itselfes, so it recognizes it after all. if i could i'd have formated it in the "storage" section, but there i had no ability to do so.
well, i hope i can help someone with this fix ;D
So I'm just literally fu*ked up. Everyting started yesterday then I decided to clean my phone using SDmaid like I do regularly once a month or so.. After cleaning it I noticed that most of my apps disappeared. Then I just opened settings, few other apps and everything crashed. Then I was pressing all the buttons and lockscreen showed up, but screen was not responding to my touches. I force rebooted it, but after booting everything was laggy and frezed again. Then I entered TWRP and cleared davlik cache and cache. Still nothing changed. I reflashed ROM. Nothing. I deleted everything, formated memory, wiped all the parts. And then connected my opx to pc, to upload rom, kernel, supersu. Then I noticed that the sd card isn't responding. I took it out and connected directly to my pc. Tried formatting it, chkdisk in command prompt, virus scan and so on.. Nothing - all my files left and they are unusable just like the card itself. How do I fix this? Then after wiping I noticed one thing - it says dev/zero process ended wit ERROR=255 and it happens all the time then I try to wipe /data. So I assume the /data is corrupted too? I hope you understood something and will be able to help me. Now excuse me while I'll be crying in the corner :crying::crying::crying:
How I assume is that the SDMaid app somehow managed to break my sd card and /data? Help, I really need my phone tomorrow.

The SD card is not formating. No matter what parameters I'm using

it might be corrupted then. try out deleting and recreating partition table:
go cmd lane(admin rights)
1. diskpart
2. list disk
3. select diskN #where number is your microSD
4. clean
5. create partition primary size=x #X stands for unallocated space
6. select partition1
7. format fs=fat32 quick
8. assign (adds a letter for drive)

still nothing...
EDIT: So I removed the card and reset my phone to the factory settings like you suggested. Also did all the OTA updates and it seems to be working fine. (I hope /data issue fixed too) And I think I just take the micro sd card back to the shop for repair.

Indeed I would you suggest doing that, the first(factory reset) keep it, its pretty useful and handy tool. I also suggest you to not use any "system" clearing tools, android its not like windows ^_^ there is almost nothing to clean
