Hey guys,
I was going through the process of installing the new leedroid rom by T-mod 2.2d.
I did a back up from nandroid and did a full wipe.
I went to install from zip and i couldnt find any of my ROMs i had copied onto my sd card? i am 100% confident i placed them in there.
Just today i partitioned my sd card properly with two primary partions of fat32 and ext3. Fat 32 has 29gb free and ext 3 has 512. Could there be a problem here? i just followed the instructions provided and everything looked sweet.
Before i had partitioned i copied all my files onto my HD then i proceeded using Gparted. Since everything was wiped off my SD card i just cut all the backup files from my HD back to the SD. It took up too much space on my pc!
All i have done is factory wiped and clear dalvik and then i rebooted (since none of the ROMs were listed in 'install zip from sd card'. It was then stuck on the leedroid startup page and goes on a loop.
I then performed a restore from nandroid. It now boots up fine, but now my SD card seems to be corrupted! all the files in there are shown with symbols etc. I can add new files into the sd card though and they dont appear to have weird symbols. I clicked on the disk and clicked on the diagnostic button which i also selected to fix automatically issues. Now my whole SD is wiped. and there are no files in there anymore... i put a few mp3s within and the music players dont detect any mp3 music.
Anyone have a take on what i can do? argh! i am still on 2.2b after the restore but my sd card has no files etc.
please someone help me, i will be very grateful!

it may just be a corrupt sd card, it happens sometimes you should return it and get it replaced
It was working 100% fine for a long time mate.
Should i go back into Gparted and delete my ext3 partition? I want to format my sd card, but im really confused atm.
My phone is working etc with all messages and phone history still here. It is running T-mod 2.2b. But all my apps which i had stored to my sd card are no longer functioning and i also wiped delvik from my phone.

your best bet isnt to just format it, but use gparted to delete both partitions on your sd card, then re-partition and try again
I just deleted both partitions and just created 1 partition as fat 32 will full memory using Gparted. I unmounted my phone and took the sd card out and put it back in, rebooted.
Connected it to my pc - but there are no folders in the SD card?
The phone isnt installing any software on the sd card when i boot it up?
I put mp3 files into the sd card but the phone doesnt read any music. Is it because im using a rooted desire? with T-mod 2.2b.
Literally all my files on my SD card are gone, no idea how to proceed
anyone??
I can still move apps (not the dalvik) to the sd card.
But my SD card has no folders in it. My phone wont install any on the SD card.
It says i have full memory out of full memory available. I formatted the sd card just then, since all my files are not there anyways.. still nothing happening
Help! running T-mod leedroid 2.2b! all internal apps etc are working fine.
What if i perfom an nandroid backup, store it to the sd card.
Then put the 2.2d rom and radio rom on and flash the two?
Will all the folders etc be stored back to my sd card?
Update: performed nandroid backup. Put 2.2d rom and radio rom on the sd card and again it does not appear on the zip list in recovery.
What is going on!
Fixed pm me if you want solution
i have similar weird SD carfd problems too. Suddenly, my sd card goes missing in the software and i must reset. happened 3x since I installed LeeDroid on my new HTC Desire in the last 7 days.

why not post here? if this turns out to be quite common you woudnt want to reply to xxx users would you ?
I have had the same issue twice now under LeeDroid 2.2a and 2.2b.
Right now I am using my Ubuntu laptop so I inserted the SD card into the laptop. It mounts the 7.5 gig Fat32 partition and lets me read what's on there, but it wont properly mount the ext3 partition. It shows as blank in the file browser (on the laptop) and wont let me copy to it or create any new files, so it seems corrupted in some way.
I knew I had a problem last night because my phone freezes on the white-background with green "HTC" lettering whilst booting. If I take the SD card out of the phone it boots ok, likewise if I replace the card with a different one, that's only formatted Fat32, that works ok.
I used the built in function of ROM manager to prepare the SD card, it created a 512mb ext3 partition at the end of the disk, not sure if that makes a difference. Has anyone had any success using proper apps like gparted to partition the card?
Really pi**ed off at this phone now. Dont want to wipe the card again just to have it work in my phone for another week.
[Solution]
I had a friend check out what was up with my SD card. Nandroids and zips were being stored onto the sd card but they weren't appearing on the fat32 side.
In fact, all the files were being stored to ext3! this was the root of the issue. I believe i partitioned incorrectly or what not by using Gparted. I have resulted in using Rom Manager (download off market) instead to set partition ~ much easier.
To fix the main issue with SD card: Go to phone settings -> SD & Phone Storage -> Unmount SD card --> Format SD Card.
Files should appear on your sd card again -> connect your phone to your USB and check that the files are back. That's your fix
Then just add your Roms, music, videos back onto your fat32 partition as before. Using Rom Manager, the Roms stored on SD appear again.
Edit: i have installed T-mod leedroid 2.2d and is working great.
To the previous post ~ i just did a full wipe because all my files on the SD card were corrupted anyways, could not even copy them. But i didn't think my SD card itself was corrupted.
Thanks,
Brendan
I did a little more investigating last night. On Ubuntu, if I insert the SD card, it mounts both partitions, but it can only read the fat32 one. I can see my images and stuff from there so I know its ok. But if I view the ext3 partition, it shows as empty, but if I right click on it, the properties show that there is 123mb in use of the 512mb partition. That seems about right because there should be some apps and stuff in there. I have made sure that the files arent hidden or anything, but still nothing.
If I try and copy anything to the partition, it wont let me and gives me a rather cryptic error: something along the lines that it cant access the card because it is not ready? I couldn't even unmount the disk because of the same error. I dont have my Ubuntu machine with me now so I cant check.
I can copy the stuff I want off my card and re-format/partition it but to be honest its more hassle than its worth.
I'd be more inclined to find out why this is happening. It only seems to go after the handset is rebooted (my battery went flat on Saturday) and since then, nothing.
I appreciate you posting your solution but I think we have slightly different problems..
Thanks
Hi can any one help i tried to install the desire hd rom, the instructions suggested partitioning sd card before installing the rom
which i tried to do using Mini tool partition wizard unfortunetly after wiping partition and the creating new partion my sd card would not mount as i wasnt sure if i should have formated the sd card at this point as that option was still available. but the instructions didnt mention wether i should have formated after creating new partition.
So anyway to cut a long story short i switched the phone of instead, hoping that when i restarted it i would be able to mount the sd card. But now i had a new problem my phone now would not detect my sd card altogether
Does any one know how i can make my sd card detectable again or will i need to fork out for a new sd card
Have you tried it in another device, say a PC card reader?
Had the same issue. Everything worked fine after formatting the SD card with Gparted. What I did wrong is that I made 3 EXT4 partitions for Data2SD and the computer didn't recognize the card. Used Recovery to mount the card and Gparted to repartition it. Everything worked fine afterwards.
yes sort of tried my friends sd card in my desire and it detected it so its definetly the my sd card that faulty
thanks for replying to my message i tried mounting the sd card in recovery using recovery manager but my phone wont mount it as it not detecting the sdcard do you think i might have better luck with gparted and if so do you have a link where i might be abe to down load it.
Good day all,
I am using a DHD
ROOTED
S-OFF, ENG-OFF
Clorkworkmod V5
Custom ROM: LeeDroid
Can i format my memory stick through my phone itself?
Will clockworkmod gets deleted through the process?
One of my bad past experience is when i formated the memory stick using a PC and when i put the stick back into the DHD, the phone refuse to boot. So can i assume it will be safe to reformat the SD card on the phone instead?
I've always done it by mounting the SD card when plugged via USB. Right click the removable disk and format. Always worked for me.
clockwork is on your phone Memory you cannot deleted by formatting your SD card
I just downloaded rom and copying on sd but is taking too much time (100kbps) so i just formated sd card from cwm and partition created with cwm with swep.. also it was take too much time but its shows me all done. then i connected phone as usb mount and sd detected first time i tried to copy rom zip file but nothing happend. finally its will done after taking too much time. then i disconnected phone and wiped system and everything then finally try to install rom but it says sd card mounting faild!!
i tried another sd card but still not mounting. i dont have any rom installed in my wildfire s now and not able to mount my sd card in phone pls help what i do now ???:crying:
I upgraded my T700 to stock 6.01 Marshmallow today. I installed TWRP and rooted with SuperSU. Everything looks good, except that my external SD card is not being detected by the Tab S. This card has been working fine for months.
I tried using a different, freshly formatted card, but it's detected either. When I go to Settings>Storage I see the internal card, but no indication of the external card. If I boot to TWRP, the card shows up and I can browse through the files.
After removing and reinserting both cards and trying everything I can think up, I'm out of options. Should I try using Root Explorer to create a mount point and force the external card to mount? What is the mount point name used by Marshmallow?
Any other suggestions??
Maybe the card file system has been corrupted some how, if you have a notebook and an microsd adaptor format it to fat32 then see if it is detected, if it is detected format it on your tab-s before using it.
John.
The original SD Card reads fine on my desktop PC. I formatted a different card as fat32 and put it in the S Tab, but it doesn't see it. As I said, when I booted into TWRP the card is recognized. I'm thinking that I might flash MM again and see if that makes a difference.
OK, I flashed 6.01 again and this time it's working ok. I think the problem before is that I was using the FolderMount app and when I started it, it deleted a mount point. Everything looks good now.
