Hi all,
Desires rooted, got a new MicroSD today and tried it in the phone and only get to the HTC logo then it just freezes there.
Formatted card to FAT32, tried, same.
Formatted and copied all files from old card to new one and still the same result.
Hoping someone can help?
Thanks
Anyone? Please help.
So it is confirmed that it works on other devices (for example card reader?). What rom do you use? Do you use A2SD with current phone configuration?
hi djoni,
Use AdamG froyo and apps2sd on old card.
new card does work on card readers etc. I managed to boot into recovery using recovery windows.bat.
then partitioned card SWAP=0, EXT2=512, then ext 2 to ext 3.
Phone boots up with new card installed etc but I now get force close on rosieutility?
With my old card I dont get this error.
Also.... when I try run adb shell to check if apps2sd is working on new card I get
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Did you use Froyo's native app2sd or old school A2SD?
Adam's rom supports both of them, and previous boot freeze indicates it was the other one?
maybe it's missing something from ext2 partition of your old card (which is invisible on pc and you can't just copy it to your new card)
Maybe you should try to backup everything with old card inside, and try to restore it with your new card inside?
If it doesn't work, I guess backing up everything with titanium and old card, reflashing rom, and restoring with new card would solve the problem. Unless it's app2sd, I read somewhere that it's not supported by backup programs?
I'm not sure, I really don't have much experience... I'm just trying to keep this thread alive until someone more with more experience comes to rescue
Djoni,
Really appreciate all your help with this.
Taken me a while to set all up on my old card and scared if I reroot/restore etc I may totally mess it up and Ill be stuck.
Was only going to use the other card as a backup. I am using my goldcard as my card in the phone, so was worried if anything happens to that card id have problems. But I gues I can just do regular nanbackups before changing roms. Is this what you would advise?
nandroid wouldn't help, since you already have everything working fine with old card inside, right?
Maybe titanium could backup missing system data from ext2 on old card, and restore it to ext2 of new card, but I'm not sure...
Sorry didnt explain properly, think Ill just carry on using my old card and backing that up regularly instead of risking using a new card.
Good idea though, may try that anyway so I have a duplicate card for a rescue.
Anybody have any ideas about the rosie utility error?
Tons of new ROMs coming out now based on OTA and adding A2SD+. But one big issue. Quite a number of people have reported problems with corruption of their SD cards when setting the Desire into Disk mode and connecting it to a PC. I've read it the first time here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7463184&postcount=348
and I can confirm it is reproducible.
Regardless if connecting to Windows or Linux, the card gets corrupted. It does not matter if you properly eject the drive. The Desire will respond saying the SD card is Read Only, and the only thing that one can do is to repartition it to fix the card.
I don't know what A2SD+ application everyone uses in their ROMs but I expect it's all based on some common version like the one put in from ieftm. As this is a serious issue it would be great if all you ROM cooks could look into it and try to fix it. Alternatively it may be a good idea to produce non-deodexed versions that save a significant amount of memory when installed normally without A2SD+.
Thanks for considering
I have this problem aswell its a bit of a nightmare there are a few files on my sd card that I can't even delete using andexplorer or my pc. I think the only way would be to remove my card and format it. I have never had this problem before only when I started using the 2.2 rom.
Noticed it before, i took the SD card out and put it into a cardreader, couldnt do anything in windows, said it was read only. Access via USB cable worked though.
Not that much of a issue for me, I mainly transfer files via Wi-Fi anyway, but I guess thats the explanation for the read-only behaviour.
Happened to me today, however I restarted the phone and everything seems okay now... :/
edit: nope, connected the phone again, chose "charge only" and then disconnected. The notification about my card being corrupted occured again, tapped on it and it went away... Dont know what to think..
I have the same problem .. And now it seems like the SD card is totally corrupted. Its not even possible to do a format
Okay thats it... Doing the titanium backup, nand backup and flashing some rom w/o A2SD+... :/
Out of curiosity guys, did the corruption of the SD card occur to the stock SD card that came with the Desire? I had the same problem with the stock card..
It seemed to unmount 3 or 3 times over a week and the next thing I knew it totally died and could not even be reformatted.. Happened on stock 2.1 that came with my Desire.. after I swapped to me own class 6 8gb Transcend I never had the proble again.. Just gonna upgrade to 2.2 now.. *fingers crossed*
Oh and yes.. I use A2SD+ on Modaco's 3.1. But that was after that card got corrupted..
I'm using card that came with the phone.
I'm going to try another Froyo Rom, just OTA rom rooted and we'll see.
Edit: I made my ext3 partition with ROM manager, if it makes any difference...
God dammit!

Yes its the card that came with the phone .. but it happen after i created the 512MB EXT3 Partition ... and I'm running this ROM : http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775&highlight=official it doesnt even use A2SD+
I dual boot my pc with windows 7 & ubuntu.... windows 7 scan and fix has repaired mine numerous times
I have class6 A-DATA 8GB and no problem. But with my last G1 i haved same card and with swapping goes to hell... I now correctly unmounting and disconnecting mobile from PC, after i save from PC to card. Flash have problems with writing.
This looks like a serious problem - it happened to me twice already. Devs, please have a look at this!
I have also had similar experience, SD card corrupt, yes it was the original card that came with the phone, EXT2 partitioned and using APSD+
Now why this happend is a mystery, but something I noticed when I tried the SD card in the PC - it was recognized, but said it must be formated, so I tried but it only saw it as a 32mb capacity!!! (it still would not format though - failed format..and since is no longer reconized at all..)
But, this made me think it "MAY" be something to do with the fact that when I did the Ext2 partition I seem to remember it also created a 32mb swap partition, or using Ext2 instead of Ext3. I have since learnt that it is advisable NOT to created a swap partition, so with my new SD card, after more reading about Ext partitions etc, I have only created only the Ext3 partion as I understand this is better than Ext2 and is less prone to corruption, and no swap partition and have had no problem since!
See this excellent post :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7458565&postcount=8
It would be interesting to have some input from one or two of the developers with knowledge in this field to get an idea why this happens, and how it can be prevented.
It is also possible the the SD card was going to become corrupt anyway... with or without the help of Ext? / APSD+ - it does happen!

my sd was corrupt using a 512MB ext3 partition without swap partition in SD card :/
Try in windows: start > run > chkdsk x: /f
where x = desire drive letter.
I believe i did this in recovery mode > mount usb.
That's what happens when you don't want to use Froyos own A2SD implementetion because "widgetz doesnt workzz on dat."
Apps are not meant to be on an external EXT partition.
Wait until ROMs like CM have built in A2SD+, these hacky shell scripts can cause serious problems for the SD card.

Windows can not access EXTx partitions. As such is unfortunately not possible that it could possibly repair a broken SD-ext partition A2SD+ uses.

I can confirm the corruption without any APSD+ ROM
I had a Stock Orange FR 2.1 ROM, and the 4Gb card that came with the phone get corrupted definitively (recognized as a 32mb capacity too, it has something to do with the Cylinder-head-sector combination).
Anyway, I'm going to try APSD+ with a class 2 PNY 16Gb, and tell you then if I get a corrupted card.
FYI, the Sandisk warranty is applicable for the original card: replaced in 5 days
I got some problems too with corruped files on my SDcard and had to format it. I'm thinking that from now i'll only mount my card to pc in recoverymode... maybe that is safe to do?
I am changing from the 4gb sd card that came with my desire to a 16 gb one.
How do i get all my data from the old sd card to my new ?
Thank you in advance

connect the phone in "Disc Mode" copy all your data onto your computer, disconnect, change memory card to the new one, and copy and paste to the 16 gig.
Sorry I don't know any way of moving you games or apps when changing an SD card
hope this helps! good luck!
Wow, is it that easy, thanks a lot! Can someone help me about the games/apps ?
sorry to dig up this topic, but since I searched for it, here goes:
Same issue, I am changing from 8GB Micro SD to a 16GB micro SD, the catch: I am using A2SD+ and my previous 8GB has ext3 partition, so do I simply backup, change card and copy back the files or do I need to partition the new 16GB card like I did the old one, and then copy my backup?
if you want to save your ext as well, then this is best done via amon-ra recovery.
do a nandroid + ext backup of your rom with your old sd card.
put in a new sd card, formatted with ext, restore nandroid + ext then your rom and ext will be fine.
As for the fat you will have to copy as outlined above (via a pc).

isnt it that the the nandroid backup will be stored in the SD? if so then after I do a nandroid backup, place the new blank SD and do a nandroid restore, then if it looks for any backup, then it wouldnt find anything because the old card isnt there?
sorry i suck at this...

The folder "clockworkmod" stores the Nand backups. You need to copy this to the root of your new sd card. This will be detected by Clockworkmod automatically

This is what I did them I got a new card, I had this in another post so just cut and pasted, my solution to moving to a new card. Bering a new member I can't post the link in here, but here is the copy of it here.
My setup, 2GB no class listed MicroSD, HTC Desire, Rooted with MoDaCo r9, with A2SD. All of my apps are on the MicroSD pretty much.
Well the MicroSD came in and I did what I know how to do, I used a cloning program that I use all the time for PCs, figured what the hell it should work.
- I plugged both of the MicoSDs using the SD adapter, then plugged the SD adapter into an SD to USB adapter and plugged them into the PC.
- I used Acronis True Image 2010 Acronis True Image , did an exact clone (called "Disk Clone" in the Acronis software), from my 2GB MicroSD to the 16GB MicroSD. Did NOT adjust any partitions or anything, had 14GB of free unused, unpartitioned space on the new card.
- Then I took the new 16GB MicroSD and plugged it back into my phone, booted, and it worked great, the phone can't even tell that it's a new MicroSD, shows same sizes and everything, as I didn't adjust any partition sizes yet.
- Then I took the MicroSD back out, plugged it back into the PC, then used another product of Acronis, called Disk Director Disk Director and then went in and expanded/resized the FAT partition to the full size, it used the free unused space to do that, and moved the partitions down the line and expands the FAT one in place.
- Plugged the card back into my phone, booted, worked great, got 15 GB plus of space now on the FAT partition. All the apps works, everything works great. It seems a little snappier and faster when loading apps now.
Side notes:
I just happened to have both of these products installed on my PC and use them all the time so that's what I used, but any Disk Cloning program that supports USB will work.
There is plenty of other "cloning" programs out there, like Norton Ghost - not free, some other pais ones. But also bunch free ones as well a list of them here , wiki list of them as well. Some of these programs are LiveCDs, which means you boot your PC of a CD and then you can edit HDs, also the USB Drives, other like Acronis will have a PC program as well a boot disk. With acorns I was able to use it just as a program no booting of a CD.
I personally have used this program called "hdclone" which is free, it has one limitations but it really is not a big deal in this case, it limits the copying to 1 GB per minute, hell for 16GB card thats 16 minutes !!! so not a limitation really. So do a exact clone using HDclone, don't resize the new SD just leave it as is, this worked for me, I think leaves everything exact as possible. Another free cloning program I have used in the past is DriveImage XML , so either of these will work to clone one SD to another. Now to resize, the product I use ALL the time to resize drives is "gparted", this one is a boot CD, so all you gotta do, plug in your SD card using the USB, boot of this small GParted CD, select your drive and then expand the FAT partition. Few extra steps with some free products but it works if you're not able to acquire Acronis.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions or problems. Sorry for the long write up but haven't seen anybody describe doing this plus some people aren't as familiar with cloning HDs as others.
Help!
I just went in to recovery mode with CWM and did a Nandroid back up. Everything seemed to go well. Then i selected Reboot and now the phone is looping with the White HTC sreen and nothing else....... what should I do to fix it?

It's a known issue with Clockworkmod. Go back into Clockworkmod once again and restore the backup you just made. All will be well.

what can i say? very detailed!
the only problem is that, I had to download Acronis product demos before I can do all these. I do imaging before but I dont resize EXT partitions...
ANyway Im still downloading..
Although I think it would help if anybody can post free and lighter (below 50MB, I guess) of softwares that can do USB cloning (disk cloning in general),..
I will post here my results..
HDclone is pretty small program and it should do the job.

So far, this worked for me.
1. Backed-up my old 8GB card on my PC (the FAT partition).
2. Did Nandroid + Titanium Back up. (The Nandroid will backup the EXT partition)
3. Formatted the new 16GB with FAT32 on my PC
4. Resized the 15.++ GB of FAT32 to 14.XX GB so that the 1GB goes to the EXT3- I did this via a bootable GPARTED CD I got here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
5. Copied the Clockwork MOD folder from my PC backup (see step 1) to my new 16GB card.
6. Inserted the new 16GB to my phone and booted into ClockworkMOD recovery
7. Did a NANDROID Restore.
8. After restore, I had to shut off my mobile and I removed the card coz I needed to copy back the whole FAT partition backup from step 1 to the new card.
9. Placed the new 16GB back and voila!
(NOTE: steps can be interchanged,for example, I think the copying of the FAT partition done in step 8 can be done after step 3 above.
Anyways, hope it helped.

thank you in advance for any help or step by step procedure.
Don't worry, you don't need root and it's really simple as copy and paste.

I'm using an 8GB SD card and want to change it to a 4GB card. I formatted the 4GB card in Fat32. 2,6GB for EXT3 and the rest fat32. I then copied the ext of my old card to the new card.
I made an nandroid backup with the 8GB card inserted. I copied the nandroid backup to the 4GB card afterwards, wanting to restore it then. But when I choose "restore" I get some weird message that ".../dev..." could not be found or isn'tw orking or something like that.
Any idea??
For one thing, I think your Ext partition is way too big. Why do you need 2.6gig?? Most people will recommend 1 - 1.5gig as plenty enough.
If you made your nandroid with the 8gig, copied to entire card to PC and loaded onto the 4gig, it should work. It worked when I went from 8 up to 16gig, so can't see what is going wrong for you.
Maybe try to format your 4, repartition to 1gig Ext and see what happens.
But EXT is where the DATA is stored, isn't it? The apps and music and so on.
What was wrong with the previous thread?

you don't need to do a NAND restore!
since you've copied the old ext contents to the new sdcard ext, then you are good to go, just insert the new sdcard in the phone and start it
the ROM itself was not touched ... its on the phone mem, so it still there...
+1 for the note above, 2+ GB is way much , no need for this large partition.

i am not sure if there is a standard procedure for such action
another 2 guesses
1- is to make sure the new ext partition is the same format as the old (ext3 or ext4)
2- permissions: try to set permissions for the new ext (after you copied it)
maybe the got some limitation and the OS can't read/write/execute some files...
** in such tricky situation, a logcat will be useful so you can find out what is going on, specially for the bootloop issue, since a copy-paste logically should do it.
Have been using Link2SD now for over a month without any problem.
I have a 64 GB micro-SD card formatted with 2 partitions. One is the fat32 partition for storing my own stuff (accessible through file explorer), and the other is an ext2 partition that is meant for Link2SD to "link" apps to. Both partitions are roughly of equal size (though in hindsight I would have like to make the ext2 partition smaller). I formatted + partitioned the SD card using MiniTool partition wizard in Windows.
As of yesterday the 2nd partition is not being mounted any more. I get the error as in attached screenshot. This error comes after Link2SD asks me to select what the file format of the 2nd partition is.
Because of this, all of the apps that are linked to the SD card in some way are now showing as not installed on my device (most are games, but one is a magazine-reading app). An attempt at reinstalling 1 or 2 of these apps through google play results in an error saying something like "there was an error installing this app".
I tried to search the forums on this error but most people have similar issues only when they are ~starting~ with Link2SD. I haven't found anyone who has the issue like this after using Link2SD for a bit of time...
I am wondering if there is a workaround to this. It would be nice to get those apps back onto the device at the very least (I have 4 GB of space to spare...), and at the very best get everything back to working condition again.
(note: I started to notice that certain apps started naming the SD card as a bunch of symbols instead of "SD card" as they usually do.....not sure if this is related or not)
*bump*
Should mention that I"m running a rooted device with stock ROM (took out many of the built-in apps).
I am debating whether to unmount the SD (physically take it out), and reformat the 2nd partition to ext4 or FAT32 and try again with Link2SD
What I'm afraid of is losing all those apps and not being able to reinstall them again....(as I am already getting errors with this in Google Play)

I've been having issues with it for a while myself. Sometimes after a reboot, a whole lot of apps disappear. I give it another reboot and they come back, but it's a pain in the arse because then I need to manually go place them back onto my home screen.

I have tried multiple reboots....no such luck.
I'm reading elsewhere that the culprit may be Link2SD itself. Have emailed the developer (hopefully they respond).
The ext2 partition on the card is officially or unofficially fried. I really can't see anything on it (tried several linux file system viewers). I guess I'll keep the card mounted (with half the space technically gone) until there happens to be some way to deal with this issue....

I tried Link2SD with 3 different SD cards.
One was a test (4 GB card or less, can't remember now), to make sure the program worked.
The other was an 8GB card. Which I eventually swapped out for...
...a 64 GB card.
I had manually partitioned the 8 and 64 GB cards prior to using them in Link2SD
I also re-partitioned the 64 GB card a 2nd time when Link2SD (and therefore my tablet itself) stopped seeing the 2nd partition on the 64 GB card.
This "breaking" problem came up on both the 8 GB and 64 GB cards.
So one of the following at fault: my tablet, 2 different SD cards, or the app itself.
I am inclined to believe it's Link2SD as the reviews on the app store say similar things to what my problem is.
