Hello all,
So I just got this phone of the weekend and I'm loving every single bit of it. Now when I wanted to transfer to contents of my Old 32GB sdcard to the internal sdcard slot in the phone I connected it to my Linux box and it tried loading 2 drives, one did and one failed. I wasn't able to access the internal memory. Now as soon as I connected it to a Windows 7 box it loading a virtual "CDROM" which HTC Sync install and the internal memory of the phone (32GB) and I was able to copy everything then.
Windows isn't my OS of choice, is there a way to get this up and running in Linux? anyone has had any progress?
Thank you.

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
I need to repartition my SD card for changing ROM on my HTC Desire. I planned on using GParted for the task, but so far I have failed to get the SD card to show up in GParted. What I have tried so far:
1. Plugging in my phone to my MacBook I can see my device and in Disk Utility both partitions show up (although obviously the ext4 won't mount).
2. Booted GParted in Parallels but the device won't show up
3. ...so I tried booting my mac with it, but still, the device won't show up.
4. Tried booting a PC off GParted. Still no device!
5. Plugging the SD card into a Samsung Galaxy S and tried the above again, still without success.
So problem persists, I cannot get the SD card to show up in GParted! Do you have any idea how to make it work?
Try to use card reader. I'm sure it can detect when you use it. I'm a fans of gparted.

Alright, then I need to rest my restless mind and wait for the holidays to pass so I can get hold of one! Thanks.
Hello xda peeps
I recently bought a new 32gb Kingston, class 4 sd card for my SII (ics)
I put the card into my phone, connected my phone to my desktop through the usb, and no matter how many different ways i try to transfer my music files onto the card, it fails. I have tried connecting through the USB mass storage utilities option, i have tried through MTP (although this wasn't available as an option until i downloaded and installed Kies), and i have also tried through Kies.
With each option, the files will transfer up to a certain point - around 15 albums or so, then after that, the files either don't copy across at all, or when i do manage copy them, they are totally corrupted, and they sound like they are skipping almost how a cd would skip if it is scratched or something. The actual files are fine (checked on my desktop) and i have copied files across in the past using the same computer (different sd card - 16gb Sandisk), same usb cable (although i have tried using a different one just in case), ao i am at a bit of a loss as to what is happening?!
I may still be in the dark ages somewhat with my desktop as i am running XP, but i didn't think this would be a problem really if i was simply connecting with USB mass storage or MTP and just dragging and dropping files.
Any ideas? The last thing i can really think of is that it is a dodgy sd, but does anybody here have any idea of any other issues which might be the problem?
Many thanks in advance!
Will
Sounds like the card to me. A way to check would be to find a PC (or buy a cheap one; I can pick one up for <$20 here) with a card reader & see what happens trying to transfer files that way & then putting card in the phone.
If that works OK, you could always try a full format of the card in Windows as well & then try transferring files again.

thanks for the reply, and yeah, i suspect it most likely is the card - the last thing to try really is what you suggest - trying to copy the files through a card reader in a laptop. I'll also try formatting in the pc as previously i've been formatting in my SII
One thing that was puzzling me a tad though and i did find a bit curious was that until i installed Kies onto my desktop, the option of MTP was not there. When the 'action' dialogue box popped up on screen, there was no option to open the folder to explore - it just gave me options to either transfer files using WMP or Photoshop. Similarly, when i opened up 'My computer', it was not showing as an external drive.
This was leading me to think that maybe there was some kind of conflict that i was unaware of using an old XP
Thanks again!
Installing Kies would have installed up to date drivers which probably activates MTP; Samsung may not have supplied M$ up to date drivers for XP directly/to include in Windoze Update maybe ?
No worries Hope you get it sorted, if it's still giving you dramas after trying those couple of things, post to this thread & I'm sure someone will have other ideas to try.
Edit - Had a lightbulb moment. If your phone is rooted/you're running a kernel with CWRecovery, you could try formatting the external SD card from there. One thing to be aware of if you try this, make sure you know the mount points for external/internal SD for the particular rom you're using; make sure internal is internal/external is external or whether they're swapped around like they used to be (might still be on some roms ?) on some roms. Last thing you want to do is accidentally format your internal SD

Cheers! And yeah i'm sure i'll be back later if things don't work!
Phone isn't rooted - just got stock 4.0.4 running, and all i've tried is formatting it through the phone so far - I'll try through a laptop later
Just an update on this.
Seems like it was a card issue. Put the card into a laptop, formatted, opened it up, tried to copy files over & the same thing happened. It told me all files copied successfully, but when i put it into my phone, the majority of the files were missing.
Thanks for the help!
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!
I have an iBall Slide i701 running Windows 10. So, I wanted to try RemixOS on my tablet after seeing a thread on some site. So, I downloaded the zip and tried to use the USB option but my USB was not detected at all. I tried everything like formatting the pendrive to different formats, but still no luck. Then, I tried the Hard Disk installation, but here's the problem. My tablet has 16GB of internal storage of which right now about 7GB is free (which isn't enough to repartition). But, I do have a 16GB SD Card on the tablet but it's being shown as Secure SD Storage and I am unable to create a normal bootable partition with the SD Card. So, when I try the hard disk installation option, the SD Card doesn't show up among the hard drives, instead it shows among USB. Anyways, I tried USB installation to the SD Card, but it won't boot into the USB though I have set UEFI as boot option #1 and disabled secure boot.
Please help me out!
Well i have tried everything from booting linux to win7 win 8.1 installers with and without efi installers it just doesn't boot from any flash drive. There is a lock in the bios on boot option that forces it to boot from internal and yes i also tried via its sd slot, the prob is the sd card can only be accessed after it boots up, so thats a bummer,

hello, ive had similar problems with the iball marvel 6 and ive contacted iball for it and they sent me this email
With reference to your below mail, iBall compbook Marvel 6 comes with pre-installed OS 64 bit Windows 10 Home Ver. Customer cannot Upgrade or downgrade the OS through online or with any other external devices. Compbook works on tablet technology it will not support any other OS except the OS which is preinstalled in it, therefore there is no any separate drivers available for that..
i dont know if this is similar to yours but your slide also works on tablet technology so it might be the crux of the problem.
It is possible to load from USB
I had the same problem with my iball i701, during win10 upgrade it went into blank screen of death. Heres what i did.
0. Make efi shell as first boot in bios.
1. Go into efi shell, type map. It lists the drives, usb is not listed.
2. Unplug usb, type map -r
3. Plug in usb drive (my usb was win10 efi bootable drive), type map -r
4. Voila now the last entry is usb drive.
5. Type reset, press esc to go into bios. Usb is now listed in boot options.
Done.
