Hello everybody,
I'm new to this forum and let me say that all the hard work is done here it's just awesome My Xperia X10 is alive again thanks to the USA Generic Kernel+ROM I found here.
I'd checked many threads related to my issue but I did not find a similar one so that's the reason I'm posting (in case someone could say it'S been posted already!). The problem is the following:
The phone won't recognize the SD Card nor the xRecovery tool. I wiped everything and started again with the generic rom 2.3 I found here in order to check if it was a problem related to the customized rom I had before (which name I cannot remember right now). Now with this stock rom, the problem persists, but it's not a hardware issue I'm totally sure of that, because my cousin gave me this phone and he used the SDCard without problems the day he gave it to me (he listened to music, downloaded photos, etc); he removed his sdcard (if you ask :silly
Any ideas? People says in forums that it's something related to 2.3 Android Version, so if that's the case, I want to downgrade (any good roms out there, this is an Xperia x10a.
Thanks in advance! <3
BUMP!
Bumping this thread! (following the rules)
Thank you.
Can you access the SD card in a PC?
Does the SD card have a second partition?
Check with Mini Tool Partition Manager that the SD card is formatted as FAT32 with only one partition.

I fixed it four days ago; I just had to format the SD in a Blackberry/Nokia/Samsung smartphone and voila!

hi there
i have a optimus one P500 ITA non brand with the common problem that the SD randomly unmounts, i tried the solutions suggested on ITA forums such as replace the card or to format it in FAT32 w/ pc but didn't help.
do you guys have a fix for that? i currently have firmware 10a and i am willing to flash it, don't care much to put the one from the LG update or not as long as it works. i know there's a higher flash rom such as 10c i think.
thanks

So, last update should resolve this problem.
Another way, which helped is format card in phone. Just try search for threads on forum.
SD card problem
Something is also available in threads about custom ROMs, especially prime

thanks i think i will give a go at this new firmware
I solved the problem by formatting the SD card using the phone directly.
Made a backup of everything on the SD by connecting it as USB Storage on my pc.

THOUGH, what you guys recommend in terms of firmware upgrade after all the debug users made on forums?
i currently have: kernel mod from XDA (thanks guys), overclock, JIT and HW acceleration and the firmware 10A, no brand version phone.

I have a sony Ericsson x10 mini pro. I'm wondering if its possible to move apps to my sd card, because the phone doesn't have a big internal memory. I heard something about having to root the phone, and doing something to the sd card. Could someone guide me through that, or tell me more about it? How will that effect the apps?
Thank you x
BTW, sorry if this is in teh wrong part of the forum, i wasn't sure what section it came under
I am also trying to find out the answer to this question. All i have been able to find out through search is that one has to root the phone and there is probably just one application superone click that allows you to do that currently for X10mini/pro 2.1 version. However once one has rooted through superone click, how do you then transfer all your applications to the SD card and whether its possible or not is my question. Hoping someone answers soon so i can take the risk of rooting.
There is an app that you can get at the market to enable you to transfer apps to SD..
App2SD and Link2SD.. just search on the Market
and also search the forums for these 2 apps, there are dedicated topics for these with more detailed discussions...
I've tried both App2SD and Link2SD along with a few others... none of them install on X10mini/pro runing on v 2.1. They require some sort of partition on the SD card which i have no idea how to do.

There is no. Of videos of partition of sd card in YouTube.
I m using link2sd and I feel its better than app2sd.
.
If you use Android 1.6/2.1 then you have to use link2SD.
Use this guide for partitioning the sd card
SD Card Partitioning
Or if you have gone to the new Android 2.2/2.3 you dont need these steps, because they are integrated in the OS itself. There are some advantages running 2.2 or 2.3
Good luck
Thank you all... It worked!!!
Used link2SD and created partition on SD card as advised by Tommylee567. Transfered my apps to SD Card. Only issue i am having after the root is that Skype is giving me problems. Have to take the battery out to reset the phone and stop it from ringing continuously whenever someone calls me on skype. I didn't experience this problem before though.
Anyways atleast i got my apps transfered to SD Card.
Thanks Tommylee
I have partitioned my ad and installed link2sd. However it gives an error saying the 2nd partition not found. i have followed all the steps correctly and my mini pro is rooted. Can anyone help? Please!!!
I was changed stock 8 GB card to 16 GB / 10 class Patriot one. My X10 dont see card - in card info i see :

Lol or he could post a it in the actual cm7 thread
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
just reflash new SE stock firmware to avoid any headed. and re-do from scratch...
My experience says that you will need to reformat your SD card. Even though stock and xrecovery can see it there is something wrong with it. If you mount it via USB does windows say there is a problem that it wants to repair (if you are using windows)?
I was posting here cose this is question about developing, If I posted in wrong section please move thread to right place.
I do reflash with seus at beginning - in 2.1 is working normally , but after changed system in xrecovery card dissapeard. (2 times - seus + different CM 6). And I also reformat card (fat32). I`m using Windows XP (but have also openSUSE).
Card was empty after format - so windows dont see any problems.
Make of my card is Patriot.
I install app - Multi Mount SD and when i mount card, PC normally see it. Only CM have problem with that.
Format the SD card and erase any other partition -if you have any.
I dont have any partitions, but i will try to delete and create main partition when i came back home (I need linux to do that, in work i have only windows xp). I tried one more time to format card (fat32) and nothing. Strange problem. Card work normally in memory reader, and in mass storage mode in X10.
In terminal on mount i dont see sdcard. I want to try mount it manually but i dont know what`s name of device is memory card. (sda1 , sda2 or...). Did anyone know (or want to check it in mount?) ?
I see card0 it is cardreader from X10 ?

You don't need Linux, there's a free Windows Program (MiniTool Partition Wizard).
But since you haven't partitioned your card in the past, I doubt that this will solve your issue.
Try backing up your data and formatting the SD card.
Then insert it in the phone, see if it works are copy your data back.
Good luck!
Also, you can mount the SD card in xRecovery and see if it works.
I formatted card 2 or 3 times with no results. In recovery card is working normally - i install CM in xrec from this card

I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

Same issue no clue what to do
Today i found a workarround using DISKPART (6 years later hehe)
Note that this will wipe your storage card so BACKUP !!
Hold [Win + R] and type in : diskpart (or launch cmd as admin and types: diskpart )
Every lines should be followed by enter key.
list disk
select disk *
(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers
Hi there,
I have the following issue and hope to find somebody with a solution here in the XDA-world...would be great.
Of course I did some searching before I post here, but the results are not sufficient for me...
I am using a 64 GB external SD card in my Samsung Galaxy S III since a few days. Before I put data to the card, I performed a format via the phone itself. The access works great - I can use all my files when I use the phone in normal operation. (with Ultima Rom).
Today I downloaded the latest ROM release and wanted to flash it via CWM 6.0.2.7 and I encountered a problem - I cannot access the external SD card in CWM recovery. It simply say´s "Can´t mount external SD".
Why is it? Any solution proposals? I used to have a 2GB card and the installations worked fine with CWM here....
Is it a wrong formatting probably? Or the size?
Thanks for any suggestions!!!
You should do some search before post, but since you are here, I give you some briefly information, but you have to search more details yourself.
1. 64 GB sdcard is formated in exFAT file system which CWM recovery doesn't support it, that's why you have problem with 64 , but OK with 2GB sdcard. (Some latest recovery has now support exFAT I think )
2. Solution, format your sdcard into FAT32 file system, or change to 32 GB sdcard because unless you have countless files or blue ray movies otherwise you won't need 64GB at all, that's what I did, I had 64 and change to 32 to avoid any kinda potential problem

1. Use PhilZ Touch recovery (based on 6.0.2.8 - I think 6.0.2.7 was also very buggy - and with a new Samsung kernel supporting exFAT).
2. Format as FAT32.
I am currently using the 1st approach, but keep in mind that many ROMs (mostly based on CM10 stuff) still have a huge bug where the exFAT partition is not recognized but instead some stuff is written to the first sector - when that takes place just put the exFAT card in a SD-reader in Win7/8, reject any suggestion to format it and then from the command line run CHKDSK /F Letter:
Thank you!!!
Thanks a lot to both of you!!! It worked out! :highfive:
I also managed to search for "how to format an SDCard to FAT32", no problem.
To be honest I also had a look for a possible solution like you suggested prior to my post --> I just was not confident that these suggestions will solve the issue since I read many times "tried - but no success"...
I just wanted to be sure, coming back from work, not to spend hours to solve it, if you already have "the one working" solution available. Once again many thanks - I really appreciate this community, even if its my 2nd active post...
