SD Card = readable/unreadable? What? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All of a sudden, my phone does not read my SD Card while the system is running, nor can Clockworkmod recovery format it. My laptop reads and writes to the card just fine, and I can use my phone's recovery to mount it. Again, it does not mount while booted up. Using Clockworkmod recovery, I can still install a zip file from it. The issue remains the same on any 2.2 ROM I try, including Skyraider, pmf, Cyanogenmod, and JagerRom. 2.1 ROMs can read it without issue.

I have yet to get my 16 GB Card to work on any Froyo mod or leak. Still using my older 4GB card. If I revert back to 2.1 it works fine & works fine in my computers etc. Probably why there isn't an official update out yet for DINC, if it isn't reading many SD Cards...

It was working just fine on the original froyo leak, the 8/1 leak, and skyraider 2.2. Then it stopped altogether.

MoDaCo 3.2 Rom help...

Hey guys, got a few problems after I flashed this rom. Hope you can help.
1st. For some reason, I cannot get the phone to boot with my memory card I partitioned for use with A2SD. If I take it out, it will boot up fine. Also I cannot format it back to its standard form. I.e. It is currently formatted to 6.9GB whereas before it was around 7.6GB. I haven't yet installed A2SD due to the fact the phone wouldn't boot correctly.
2nd. I flashed the Rom and everything was fine, until I partitioned my memory card. When I had the problem, I was booting the phone and then inserting the card after it had finished booting. For some reason, the apps I had installed had disappeared and I had to reinstall them but as soon as you reboot the phone, they're gone again. This also happened with Wi-Fi tether, which comes stock on the Rom. I have now changed the memory card to a normal unpartitioned card and the phone is fine. Apps stay as they should. I have performed several factory resets and the Wi-Fi tether still hasn't returned. I will re download the Rom again and try and install it again.
Thanks
Liam
Hi Liam,
sounds very much like an A2SD issue to me. I was waiting for others who use A2SD to reply to you but I personally will suggest that you head on over to the modaco forums android.modaco.com/forums.html and ask there.
the rom originates from Paul's forum and the best resource will likely be found there.
Best Regards,
Lawrence
here is what i would suggest:
- do a full wipe
- repartition your sdcard in recovery menu
- flash the rom
if you still experience problems give us the logcat output of the boot process.

search site for Z4root and then plug Ascend into computer, mount SD card so it shows up as a storage device, copy Z4root to SD card, un mound SD card so device is back to just charging. Also very important, on the forums is step by step how to use Z4root including steps to follow. I have rooted 3 Ascends without a problem with the steps from the forums.
holly cow getting closer but still not working card is formatted z4 says phone is rooted apps2sd says it needs to format card so i try that and it still says same thing even though card is formatted but it doesn't recognize it as so tried link to sd and it says cant auto mount partition PLEASE help phone has no custom roms do i need to install one usually i am good with this kind of stuff but 4 days later it still not working oh and super user is working i noticed in some post it didn't if phone was not rooted

Head over to my site, MyAscend.org - there is a custom ROM called Icarus that has all the bloatware removed, apps2sd, OC kernal, and more. It's really to install, you will just need to use an older version of clockwork (not the one that is in ROM manager). There is full instructions, just go to the developers post about the ROM. he released this rom on my site, and its a very good one. My phone is soooo much faster now!!!
You can't have apps 2 sd on stock ROM btw.
rom
really didn't want to do the rom thing i guess i will just have to wait for the update from everything i have been searching supposibly it suppose to be out by end of month if not then i will do the rom deal i feel it would be pretty crummy if they dont do an update i have had cricket service almost since they started and this is the first brandnew phone i have bought from them cause it was a droid so if they dont fix i will be very and i do mean very upset with them so cricket lets get the ball rolling
2.1 doesnt support app to sd its one of my bigest complaints about this phone

[Q] Issues with StarburstROM and 16 GB SDHC

Hey, XDA
I'm having strange issues with fresh 16 GB microSDHC (Class 4) and Starburst ROM (Lite 1.3.3.3), both with Data2SD and without it.
I get up to 2200 in Quadrant Advanced, XviD and FLAC seems to play fine, but actual performance is much worse. Sometimes it won't ask for PIN, won't turn on WiFi, fail to wake up, apps load very slowly. No F/Cs, luckily.
That card doesn't have any manufacturer info written on it (bought it in store however, packaging said "Nokia", who knows). It seems to work fine, full 16 GB, connected to PC, though, no write speed issues, too.
Finally, I've restored to stock 2.2 ROM so as to exclude phone hardware and flaky sdcard issues. It works like a charm, so problem seems to be in software.
Also, Starburst ROM has worked fine for months on stock 4 GB SanDisk (Class 4), including Data2SD feature (the best thing made for Desire, hands down).
If DroidZone or Sibere sees this thread, big ups, guys - you've made one of the best ROM / feature for Desire
If you have some ideas of what I might've done wrong or whether it could be an issue with Starburst ROM, I'd be thankful for some clarification.
P.S. Running with S-OFF & ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8
P.S. I'd put this in the Starburst ROM thread, but can't due to this being my first post.
Hey cralias,
you said that "Starburst ROM has worked fine for months on stock 4 GB SanDisk (Class 4), including Data2SD feature". Is it the same rom and the same data2sd, which you have installed at the new card? Nothing changed?
That was an older version, 1.2 Lite (I think?) when there was only one Data2SD version available.
However, 1.3.3.3 Lite seems to work fine with the 4 GB card, both with and without Data2SD (Uberfast edition).
I will try Standard Edition today, to see if maybe updated kernel fixes stuff...

When you very first installed starburst did you restart right away and install the data2sd installer?
I been running starburst now for over 1 month and had no problems also using a 16gb PNY sd card from play.com

Yup. Didn't configure Wifi nor Google account, just Language, Timezone and then reboot to recovery.
No luck with 1.3.3.5 either.
Could it be an issue with FAT32 allocation unit size? I've set 8K (using EASEUS here, it's default).

Try using the newer data 2sd scripts with xe or we. they're on the beta section. Try a re partition and install the rom followed by new script. Should eliminate lags for slow cards
Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Forgive any typos!
No luck.
Well, I've come to a conclusion that all problems come from a flaky SD card, whatsoever. Phone doesn't like it. I will use it for some other purpose until it dies of old age.
Just another lesson for me not to buy crap at stores.
Thanks everyone.
And once again a special one for Droidzone and all involved for Starburst ROM/Data2SD. This thing roxx0rz
Hi Cralias, you've already drawn the correct conclusion, but just to reassure you, I've had exactly the same kinds of problems with Starburst and kingston sdhc cards. Starburst worked fine on the sandisk that came with the phone but not on two brand new kingston 16gb class 4 cards. Got a sandisk 16gb class 4 and Starburst was fine.
You're right, Droidzone and Sibre desrve mad props for this ROM, it's how the device should have come out of the box.
As you've correctly deduced, the key to making Starburst reach it's potential is a reliable and quick SDHC card.

sd card goes missing when flashing to gingersense

Pretty straightforward there. Have been running fresh evo and cm7 since j got my phone. This is my first attempt to flash back to a sense rom. My SD card disappears whenever I flash to one of the new gingersense roms. It shows up fine when I flash any other rom aswell.
Any suggestions that don't inviolve going into sdk with a computer? I don't really have access to a comp right now.
Is this a totally rare problem or something that's been answered?
I looked through and couldn't discussions on it to see if perhaps it was a known issue. It seems to have to do with flashing to any sense ROM. Not positive if it also has to do with coming from CM 7.
Gonna try bouncing around from a few other roms and see if anything works.
The exact message I'm getting when I boot up is "SD Card unexpectedly removed."
If I reboot into recovery, the SD card is there. If I flash to a non sense based rom, no problems. I've tried manually mounting the SD card from recovery and no help.
HTC Sync also doesn't recognize that I have an SD card once I try and use it.
I really want to give some of these new roms a spin (especially with how snappy they are and how buggy and glitchy CM7 has been) but I can't until I can use an SD.
Whoops . . .it seemed like things were working (SD card registered in MikFroyo and then was, once again, unexpectedly removed) but then it went out again.
Could this have something to do with an of the zipalign/move to SD function or apps?
Basically, I just can't flash to any sense rom.
my sd card works fine, although the rom is kinda on the slower side for me, but I guess I have to make sacrifices for sense 2.0..... Ahh CM7 here I come! (lol we'll see)
I can't flash to anything sense now . . . I'm tired of messing with cm7 and just want something snappy and stable. cm7 is stable in spurts but with heavy use, issues always seem to crop up - I love CM and it's options but right now it still feels very much work in progress.
I just want something that's running gingerbread and is smooth. I really enjoy the new Evo and Sense ports out right now but not having an SD card is obviously not an option.
Does anyone maybe just have some good advice on where to ask about this?

[Q] Weird SD Card Issue After Flashing a 4.2 rom..

So I went ahead and rooted my GS3 and put the CWM Touch recovery on it from the toolkit in the dev. section. I went and installed Jellybro 10.1 and everything was a mess after that. I should also mention that I properly wiped everything and installed the proper 4.2 gapps before starting it up. Everything seemed to work fine, until I noticed that the phone didn't notice my 64 gig SD card anymore, it said it was broken or something and continually asked me to check it. In fact, when I was in recovery, it would even say that there was an issue with the SD card. I decided to use ODIN to try and reinstall stock Jelly Bean from AT&T and after successfuly doing that, everything worked just fine. What's the deal?

If you have another microSD in a smaller flavor, try that out.. Also try using TWRP 2.3.3.1 when running a 4.2 ROM. Handles 4.2 file system better than CWR.
I'm having an issue with my external SD. I made a backup using the latest version of TWRP running AOKP 4.2.1 and now my external SD card is unreadable on both my phone and computer. Even when I take it out and and directly attach the SD card to my usb it cannot be read. I'm not quite sure what is going on, I can't even format it.
I just tried ODIN but that didn't work.
It looks like this is an issue with straight up using CWM. I tried again without a 4.2 rom and it said my sd card couldn't be read. lame!
If you sifted through the pages and pages of comments, most people said TWRP was a bad idea to use on 10.1 and to use CWM. Also, on many pages it says NOT to use anything higher than a 32GB SD card.
Been running multiple 4.2 ROMS and even the one you were on and had zero problems. You have to take time and read about 90% of the comments and the search function in the thread of the ROM is your best friend.
