[Q] SDcard read only.... - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason my phone keeps having and issue with my SDcard. I get a notification all the time that the SDcard isn't mounted, if click on the option in my taskbar it will fix it. Not sure why it keeps doing this. I run Skyraider 2.5.2 w/ 2.15 radio and KingXKernel.
Is it my charger maybe?

Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!
any ideas on how to fix this?

Did you buy any chance rename your Nand backup?
Make sure your SD card has plenty of free space on it, that can sometimes cause it.

Not really. Just make sure you dont have any spaces in there. If you do, replace then with underscores _______ like that
haha alright thanks for the help
I posted a fix for this in the development forums. It has also been pointed out that this message appears when your battery charge is too low (

You can mount SD card from RA and clockwork recovery.

Adb to the phone and try to nan restore, if you can take the sdcard out of the evo and connect it might help. Or try to connect usb in recovery.
try adb remount /sd card
Try restoring through nand?

he cant get access to the sd card. have you tried removing the card then booting up, battery pull then put it back in.
Maybe you should read a little more. The best way to get the information you are looking and to keep it retained in your head is to discover it your self.
A quick search for ADB How To might do the job.
yea im tryin to do adb i guess. i got my sd card to finally show up but wen i try to load the nandroid which yes i should kill myself for being so lazy which dates way bak to 10-01 . it jus stays frozen on the that bootscreen i had
i swear all i tryed to flash was the combo update of the radios from calkulin and all this had to happen! ughhhhhh fml!

Dude, shut up. Clearly he's in frantic state because he screwed something up. People like you give XDA a bad name. If you're not going to help or support get out of this thread

You really need adb. I know is kinda scary I was in your shoes once .but read about it download it play with it it will help you in the long run I have done what u have done at least 3 or 4 times the answer is here in the forums. It kills SD card and usb that's why your computer wont see the sd card . Only other option is if your have a SD card reader plug it into your computer sorry I can't be more help.
I had this happen to me on a plane, almost exact same circumstances. The HTC kernel in RLS4 is not compatible with the latest radios.
You need to use adb to push one of two things to the phone:
1. One of the alternate kernels - They work with the latest radios
2. The older (octoberish) radios - Something before the december release
Steps-ish:
adb shell
-> mount /dev/sdcard
-> exit
adb push one_of_the_two_above_zips.zip /dev/sdcard/zipname.zip
Then use clockworkmod to flash that zip from the SDcard.
i finally got an old nandroid to load up so ima just go from there. im losing alotta important things but ill learn from that but i do dearly thank you all . !

What is that second vibration on startup about?

When I first got my phone like many others, it vibrated when the phone first turned on and that's it. After flashing a few radios, I now have and have for awhile, the second vibrate about five seconds after the first. I think I read somewhere what it was, but can't seem to find it now. Did we ever figure out definitively what causes that?
I know in between flashing radios it stopped for awhile, and then came back and has been with me ever since. Not worried about it, just curious. Thank you.

Same here. What is the second vibration on startup all about?
I noticed this after flashing the 04.30 radio over stock.
I know someone knows or at least has an idea!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I think it only shows up when you flash radios. I haven't flashed a radio on my past two devices and I have only one vibrate.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Shameless bump. I want an answer to this.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I think first vibration is when you push button and phone is "okay, got it, I'm booting up" and then second when "I'm ready, you can enter your pin code". I had the same on Spica and there it was useful because it booted about 1 minute.

That makes sense but none of our phones ever did that until we started changing radios. So it's obviously not part of the "normal" boot up process.
I have not changed radios on my phone yet. It is rooted. I get the second vibration also. I have been wondering why it does this also. It did not start doing this until I rooted my phone.
Bumpity..... I'm curious as to why myself

Not that im gonna try it lol, but i wonder if installing a pc10img that unroots, S-ON, and all that would make it go away?

I don't know what causes it but if you want to make it go away try this. Go to ROM Manager and select to download rom > virtuous > virtuous sense 1.0.2. Let it download all the way and then hit cancel, don't flash it. Then do a nandroid from within ROM Manager and it will be gone....back to just a single vibration at boot.
Ext3 vs ext4 ?
Ive Had This Issue A Few Times And After Trying To Fix It I Believe It Could Be Due To CWM Formatting The Devices Partitions As EXT3 When It Should Be EXT4.
Can Anyone With This Issue Please Confirm This By Posting The Result Of Typing "mount" In A Terminal.
Their Should Be A Line Which Says "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 on /system type" And Then The Filesystem Type.
I Hope That This Is The Cause As If I Am Correct It Will Be An Easy Fix

I noticed a few months ago that after I took virtuous froyo for a test run that my second vibration was gone. Since then I flashed a new radio and the second vibration came back. I thought I'd test what had happened before and low and behold just downloading it with rom manager and creating a backup got rid of the damned thing. One of those wtf moments...lol. It must have something to do with the old vs. new ext. as OllieD suggests.

Just ran that in an ADB shell. Here's what I got:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 on /system type ext4 (ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

So it's not the formatting. There's another reason why there's a second vibration, but that's really a minor bug.
Misc Partition?
Can Someone With The Bug Please Dump Their Misc Partition?
Run "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/Misc.img" In A Terminal And Upload The "Misc.img" File From Their SD Card Somewhere ?
Based On The Previous Fix Mentioned I Believe It Could Be To Do With The Way Rom Manager Reboots Into Recovery.
A Command Is Stored Somewhere That Lets HBoot Know Which Mode To Reboot Into.
An Error With This Command Probably Causes The Second Vibrate And When Rom Manager Reboots Into Recovery It Clears This Flag. Although I Remember Flashing Various ROMs Via Rom Manager Without This Issue Being Fixed.

[Q] SD card issues

Hi! I have an Evo 4G and have been rooted and running ROM's for a while now with no issues. Im currently using MikG v2.59 and have no issues until now.
My sdcard is not being recognized by my device. ive been on the forums all morning reading about similar issues and some fixes but mine seems particularly unique. I can get into recovery fine and can even see all my folders if i go to flash .zip but as soon as i try to do anything it says error sd card not mounted and then I cant see any folders unless i do a battery pull. tried a co-workers sdcard and it works fine.
Any ideas? If more info is needed let me know and thank you in advance!
Try your card in their phone and work from there. If it works could be your ROM. Try reflashing.

tried that and it didnt work in hers either

Hmm, seems like it's the card. You may want to try using another card if possible..
Sent from my RED XDA.
Is it visible via plugged into PC? Or via card reader? If not you might just half to suck it up and reformat it, no big deal. But hopefully you can back up the contents first.

everything is gone?? why??

ok, so i turned my phone off, took out the battery, took out my sdcard, and replaced the back casing on my phone. now that i boot up, my phone is back to default as if i just flashed a new rom. i see that my apps are still there on my sdcard, but my homescreen and all my settings are gone. i tried fixing permission, but no luck, anyone got any ideas?
I assume you put the SD Card back, too??
Are you running A2SD?
What ROM are you running?? Kernel?? etc... need more info
You can try to Just reboot and let it sit for about 10 mins.

yes sir i put the sdcard back in.. and yes i am running a2sd. i am currently running team dirt cm9 1.7 with mason kernel version .15rc4 sbc
tried rebooting several times and allowing it to load.. it's weird because it's not like i turned the phone on while the sdcard was out.. not too sure what could cause this, this is not the first time neither, usually i just reinstall everything but man.. it's been so long since ive ran into any sort of issues.. i nand restored an older backup without reflashing the ext partition, i got most of my settings back, so thankfully i was able to work from there. but i would still like to know what could have caused this. thanks for your reply hipkat, good to know someone cares to even try..

My first thought was that card wasn't fully seated, but I know that's hard to miss. It's pretty odd, for sure.

seems to be the only logical explanation, im possibly assuming finger prints on the sdcard leads.. because i did turn my phone off and gave it a wipe to get the sdcard read by the phone, but my settings wouldn't come back.
