You must pull the sdcard from the phone, insert it into the mac, then use Disk Utility. You can't format it from the Mac when it's installed in your phone.

Hi All,
I have a little problem with my HD2. It has bin there for quite some time but in the past i used Active sync as a workaround to flash my Phone.
But i want to update my radio now. And i'm on Android NAND and SD. So normaly you just flash your radio or winmo 6.5 rom trough HSPL.
But when i hold volume down and boot HSPL i get the tri color screen. But i get a Serial message in the botem of the screen. And it just stay's there.
I took a other SD card formatted it with FAT32 and placed the LEOIMG.nbh file on that location but still the same issue. Cant flash the radio or the wimo rom. Does anyone have a idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Can you sync your phone with the computer? Otherwise you may have a bad USB port. Also, try a hard reset (backup first).

Well i dont sync my tel trough USB with android. I dont have wimo anymore.
And about the USB port i use that to put music on the SD card and make android backups. And i have not had issues.
The HSPL does not flash from USB it should pickup the image file on the SD card.

I suppose since you are not using WM, there is no option to change the USB port from syc to USB drive? Checking this setting would be the suggestion at this point. You are right, the USB port works.

I cant remember there was a need to change any option to flash from SD card with HSPL. The only thing you needed to do is place the image with the correct name.
Couple points.
1) When you put it in tri-color bootloader then connect to your PC, does it not say USB? If it does you can flash via RUU, if not we have a problem.
2) You cannot flash anything from a microSD above 8gb. If you are using a 16 or 32 then that is your problem, try an 8 and you will be fine.

On WM, you cannot flash via USB unless it is in activesync mode. Otherwise the computer just sees the device as a USB drive. I don't know about other OS.

Y i know. Dont think there is a way to flash in android. It might be possible to flash trough MGDLR with the right tools. But as far as i know there are only Android NAND flash tools not Wimo / Radio. But i will try the USB connection trough HSPL.
Nice the USB connection did work on my new PC! i had problems on a old one maybe thats why i forgot about that.
Win7 detected the flash device installed the drivers and after that i could use the CustomRUU to flash.
Still strange that the SD card did not work. But now i have a working solution Thanks guy's!!

For Nand Android, when you reboot, you will come to a white "fastboot" screen.
Press Power button while this screen is still on, and it will bring you to the CWR screen where you will be able to update from sdcard.

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.
I know the best way to get more space in my phone is to get a bigger sd card...but i was wondering is there a way to compress all the data in the phone and on the sd card, i would like to compress everything i have and not get rid of anything.....i dont have much on my phone at all and every now and then i get a notification that im running low on disk space so i have to go threw and delete things and move things to the sd card even though i have the phone set to install to sd card...
i have a rooted samsung admire
Compress Data via Windows Explorer
Have you tried connecting your device to a PC as Mass Storage and then used the Windows Compression utility?

when i connect my phone to my pc it doesnt register so i cant go threw the files or anything
Use "File Expert" application, you can get from market. and Zip all your files.
You need to install the USB drivers then! Go to the manufacturer's website and look for the USB drivers.

Even if you were to compress everything, what would that accomplish? You can't run any apps or anything if there compressed.

you could also use pdanet to install the drivers. this may be easier than trying to find them from the manufacturer site.

Hi,
I have an issue and cant seem to find anything on the forums.
I use Linux ubuntu and when I connect via my USB dock I can see the folders on my external storage but cant access them.
Its a 32GB card formatted to FAT 32. When I take the card out of the phone and connect directly via SD card slot it works no problem.
I have spoken to somone about this and they think that when I rooted the device as I did not put in a password this is why I cant see whats in the folders. Its something to do with security does anyone know if that is correct?
Thanks
Mathew
mm tried:
run "fdisk -l" command. Here you'll see the USB and it's path.
Create and directory name /mnt/usb/ then use the command
"mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb" and then, "cd /mnt/usb"
?
That does not work
If I re rooted the device when I re root will it allow my to put a password on it? Which would mean each time I connect my via USB would my Ubuntu machine ask for the password and give me access to the files?
trahedy... phone don`t want to flash firmwares... Odin always stuck and heimdall too... WTF ?! what l need to do now?
Does anyone one have any idea do I just need to reroot my phone?
My G3 is a blank slate right now.
I put the SD card into my PC and downloaded the CM12 file and the Gapps file. Now with it back in the phone I can't find them. I click install > External Sd > nothing there.
Under "mount" it wont let me click the SD card.
Where do I start?
I would plug the phone in and reflash back stock and start over. But u could try mounting the the phone as usb storage and dl the files directly to it thn search for them on the internal storage since it wont connect to the sd.

Plug it into where and reflash it how? You have to ELI5. I'm reformatting my SD card now to see if it will recognize it.
Wow. I really had to go through some trial and error there. I spend the last few hours trying to get the ADB side loading to work. Trying ever driver known to man. I kept getting the no devices message. There was a specific order that it had to be done in order for it to be recognizing the device at the time of loading. Enable mtp > adp > plug in > side load.
I'm up and running CM12 now. And I'm ready for bed!
Since you have twrp installed, why not just get an SD card and put a ROM on it and flash? Seems like the easy way to me.
For future reference, was the phone recognized by adb when in TWRP? If so, did you try to push any files to the internal storage?
I did that once I just flashed a tot file then just rerooted I couldn't connect phone back with adb or anything
