my Qtek9000 with wm6 crossbow dont read my SD card 1Gb. The other card of 512 work fine.
Help me.... The Sdcard of 1Gb work fine in computer.
try formatting on your pc using FAT
Dont work. I test FAT format and FAT32 format and nothing
did your 1gb sd work fine before on your Qtek?..try it in another device. Your card may not be a genuine 1gb!
in the past with WM5 my sdcard 1GB work fine. When i install the new crossbow the card not work. In pc work fine.
Did you install the new ROM with the SD card in the device? This can cause problems although I'm not sure exactly what problems... purely hypothetically, I think it may use the SD card as partition and then it won't be recognised as space but as used memory... purely conjecture that, don't quote me...
... ah, but then a reformat would fix this wouldn't it... sorry, still learning

Hi everyone!
I have a transcend 8GB micro sd (class 6) in my desire.
Ive formated it like that:
7gb fat32
1gb ext3 (maybee its ext2 or 4 I dunno)
no swap
a few days ago my phone sayd that the sd card is corrupted!
The strange thing is that all my apps which are on the exp partition are still working flawlessly and I can also access all files on the sd card via ES Strong File manager!
What I cant do for ex. is setting up ringtones which are on my sd card. They show up in the ring tone menu but no sound plays but when I open em in the mp3 player they play fine!
I also cant take pics/vids with the cam because the phones says I should insert a sd card!
Is this a known problem?
What I wanna do is getting my data and my apps over to my computer and then reformating the card and transfering everything back. Just to see if it works then (doubt it!).
But I dont know how to do it because of the ext partition! Can you give me a hint please?

its quite easy for one partiton to be corrupt while the other isnt, thats because there using diffrent fs's unless you have linux there is no way to access your ext partiton, just format the card and start again
Download the gparted(?) liveCD.
Mount the disk image, via daemon tools/cd etc.
This way, you can just reformat the partition you need.
I found this useful switching my ext4 to ext3 without wiping my FAT32 partition.
As long as you don't attempt to resize or touch the FAT32 partition, as linux handles FAT32 differently, and can become temperamental.
Shouldnt I be able to access the ect partition from any linux distri via vm ware?
I think thats the way to go - will try it today and report
I found this, too: http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows
think it will work but I have to gather some knowledge about linux anyway!
Hello.
I have bought a new SD Card (kingston 16gb Class4).
I had a lot of problems with ext3 make. By Gparted it have errors.
I have readed this topic.
Can I repair my SD Card?
Sry for my english.
How are you connecting the card? Via a card reader or still in the phone? If it's still in the phone make sure you are in recovery and not booted in to android.
I made it by card reader. Formatting and partitioning by recovery - errors.
Have you tried erasing all the partitions and creating them again? What happens if you click the 'Repair' button?
I've always done my partitioning with my card in the phone, connected to my PC while in recovery and used Minitool Partition Wizard for Windows (this software was suggested in a thread I read a while ago) and never had any problems.
There is also the possibility of the card having a hardware problem, so you might need to swap it under warranty.
yes, first i have erased all partitions (deleted)
On repair ext - error, fat32 works fine.
first make an extended partition for your fat32 and inside that a primary fat32.
The unallocated space make it ext3

shouldn't both partitions be primary (no extended ones)?
erase everything 1st keep it unformatted then create fat32 primary then ext primary (optional linuxs swap) this is what i have done when installed miui rom data2ext
i suggest you dont use that card reader try through the cell....
I have tried a lot of methods - ext still no works.

Where did you get the card from?
Stupid question but two of my friends bought cheap (fake) cards from eBay and both had problems with them, either the card kept losing data or they go errors loading from the card due to the poor quality. In which case you need to spend a little more and get a proper card from amazon on a high street retailer.
If not then as suggested use try formatting and partitioning the card through the recovery on your phone, most of the up-to-date recoveries can do this and it's the easiest way to get the card ass needed for a2sd etc. if it still doesn't work then take the card back it's probably faulty.
I bought this card too and even though I had no issues formatting the card I do have speed issues with it. I've been in contact with Kingston and they're looking into it. My writing speed is 1.6Mb/s....
But now a tip for you, I couldn't use Gparted since it's Live CD wont start my monitors. So I downloaded Easeus Partition Master. Very easy to use and it worked perfect.
Start with your Fat32 partition and then your Ext partition.
You can find the program here: http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

Hello,
My rom(iNsertCoin) has crashed today for an unknown reason, and entered nonstop bootloops.
I have tried to reflash the iNsertcoin zip but it didnt work for some reason, also it told me it cant mount the sd-ext (I am using ra-desire 2.0.0).
I have turned the phone off, and when I returned home I put my A-Data 16gb Class 10 Microsd (which was bought from newegg, so it cant be fake) in my card reader, and I started to partition the card like this: 1gb ext4, 300mb ext4, 100mb linux-swap, rest to fat32.
all of a sudden the program just crashed and from that point it tells me the card has 1gb unallocated space, in windows 7 it keeps asking me to format the card but it never succeeds, and it says the card uses raw file system.
I have tried chkdsk, and it told me its not available for raw filesystems.
I have also tried a number of programs, the HP partition tool, SDFormatter, nothing really helped.
Also, I tried using diskpart -> clean all command on the card but it keeps giving me weird error messages but usually it tells me its not ready, and it looks like the card is not responsive, although the pc recongized it.
I have tried doing this from a number of computers, another W7 computer and a XP computer. nothing worked.
I cant allocate space in gparted, and it tells me to create a partition table, and when I try that, the program just hangs.
Oh yeah, and I tried to put the microsd card into an adapter and put it in my dad's dslr and tried to format it, but there was an error.
Have I killed my microsd card? :/

try using androids built in sd card format tool. settigns, sd card storage, unmount sd card, then format. try flashing clockworkmod recovery and using there builtin format ooptions,, if still no go, u mayb have friemd your sd card. by the way, u sjould always use your fat32 as your 1st rive and never 2nd or 3rd. im quite sure u makes your pc read the drives in the order u created them.

Thanks, but I have already tried to format it from the phone, and then recovery. didnt work.
and i made my fat32 as my first drive i just listed it last..
well I have sent it to A-Data today, in taiwan, and I'm hoping I will get a replacement card soon.
I've tested two sandisk class 4 SD cards.
If I format it to fat32 and partition the space(to use link2SD), my phone refuses to use the SD card and says it's not there. I use minitools for partition and the official SD card maker software for formating. I did everything by the book and tried multiple options(different labels, ntfs, ext2, etc.)
A fresh, unallocated space card works perfectly fine however.
My phone is rooted and unlocked bootloader running softMIUI rom with a modfied power saving blend kernel.
Please help! This is confusing the hell out of me.
Was looking at your post and I decided to grab a few of my MicroSD card 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb and 16gb....
I formated all of them on windows .... right click format, all default settings... Fat32. These are MicroSD cards that have had information on them... they all run fin on my arc. All different brands.
This leads me to believe that there's possibly either something wrong with the MsD card or the reader on the phone.

Solved it
Did this:
Changed the partition id to this:
"0*06 fat16,greater than 32 mb"
and made the second partition fat32 as well.
Removed the 100mb linux swap file partition I created....not sure if that was necessary.
Hello everyone,
Yesterday I've partitioned my MicroSD card to be able to run Leedroid. But now that I want the partition space back to the microSD card and I can't. It seems that I lost 2GB.
- I've tried formatting the SD card while booted in Leedroid, but it just says the card is "corrupted" or some message like that;
- I've also tried using GParted to recover the lost ext partition, but also GParted doesn't show me the ext partition.
- I've tried mounting sd/ext as this seemed to help for a few people aswell.
Can anyone help me how I would be able to recover the lost space on the microSD card?
Thanks a lot!
It formats the SD in FAT, and then you do to him partitions to the card.
The SD is corrupt for extracting the SD of bad form and spending files without withdrawing it in a sure way.
Why don´t make partitions SD card with your Recovery? Is it simpler, aren´t you?
You should recover the whole memoría.
But, the SD would be spoilt.
Grettings.
So as you are saying. I lost those 2GB forEVER? Can't get them back somehow? :S
"Why don´t make partitions SD card with your Recovery"
I did make a partition with clockworkmod recovery if thats what you mean...
Did you do partitions with Recovery? And it will be of 2Gb, insurance....:
Then, if the Rom needs from a partition to start, and this one is of 2GB, you will not recover her until the SD this fromateada in Fat (the whole SD). the Rom, he needs this division for boot, truth?
I think that I am not explaining myself well, or that I do not understand well what you want to say, i´m so sorry!!!
