Hi,
I've bought a 16gb sandisk microsd to replace the 2gb that came with my phone. When i have the 16gb card in the phone won't boot - just stays one the first splash screen. I've tried reformating as fat32 from windows, formated from recovery but still won't boot.
Any ideas??
What ROM are you using?

Using Alex-V 1.5 HD atm.
Did you moved the content from the old card to the new one?
AND ANSWERED this many times - search for it.
Using a ROM with A2SD+ > the new card needs to be partitioned and a nandroid backup restored to the ext partition.

got a problem and can't seem to solve it. Can anybody help please.
Have opendesire 3.2 working at the mo and had an ext 2 partition with it. All was working well until this morning.
I charged my phone and switched it on but would't boot. Tried removing batteries numerous times but still no joy. Removed sd card and it worked. So I formatted sd card back to fat 32 but now it still won't work with the sd card in(Just stays on HTC screen)
I then tried to create another partition incase that what was causing the problem with gparted. When I went into Gparted it stated that my 4gb stock sd card was only 3.5 gb and that there was no pertitions present. Looks like the end of my card has dissapeared ( Has anyone heard of this before )
Anyone any idea how to get the sd card working again?
Or will I have to buy another card.
Any help much appreciated.
It still works without sd card.
as with any memory card, you dont get all the specified space free for storage, some space is lost with the file system and sector size ect, 3.5 gig sounds about right for a 4 gig card, i use a 16 gig card and get about 14.5 gig when formatted, also your problem with the rom sounds like its cuz you dont have an ext partiton
The rom doesn't need an external partition. You can install without. When I partitioned my card with gparyed it showed as 3.5gb as fat and 512mb as ext 2. I then changed ext2 to 3 and thats when my problems started. I have formatted it all back to fat now but it wont boot.
Is this because the rom now thinks a partition should be present and it isn't?
Still got recovery, is it worth flashing the Tom(opendesire 3.2) back onto a new SD card as I have a backup of my old one on laptop?

if you haven hard reset then yeah, your rom has set itself up to be used with an ext partition, just do a hard reset, and leave your sd card out of your phone on first boot
Sorry, new to this stuff. How do you mean hard reset?
Seem to be getting by, by using guides at moment.

Sorted it. Reflashed after wiping through custom recovery and removed sd card once done. After first boot I put sd card back in and it booted. Not going to partition my card any more cause this is the 2nd card that my partition through rom manager has disappeared and can't seem to get the partition back. On a 4gb card only got 3.21gb showing now through system storage on desire.
Anyone know why this keeps happening? Or are the stock cards just utter ****e.
Tried ubuntu but even that only shows it at 3.5gb with no partitions.

Hi,
I've got a brandnew micro sd 32 gb class 6 (sandisk) and when I take the card in the phone my desire stacks on the white "HTC" screen on boot. I tried to format in recovery mode, without success (format ok but still hangs on boot). On my windows 7 laptot I can access the card without problem from the card reader. the card is formated on FAT32.
The desire runs on AURAX 8.0 rooted with unrevoked3.
Thanks
Thomas

its because your card isnt partitioned with an ext ....
When I swapped SD cards I couldn't get my device to boot no matter how I formatted it until I did a wipe in recovery, then it booted fine.

Hi,
wipe of what? factory? sd card only?
thanks
thomas
wipe
You have to wipe "factory reset" and than it works (don't forget nandroid before)
tom
change sd card
how to do:
make nandroid backup to old sd card
wipe factory settings and cache
insert new sd card
boot the phone
install rom manager
create ext3 on new sd card using rom manager
copy datas from old sd to new sd (using your pc card reader is faster than to phone)
boot the phone to recovery and restore nandroid
should work now
Failure Rate on a 32GB MicroSD
http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/134135-failure-rate-32gb-microsd.html
both my 32 sd's died i gone back to 16GB
Greets people,
I have been using the LeeDroid roms for a while now, for some reason i like sense UI but i have encountered a problem when installing LeeDroid 2.3d from 2.3b. I made sure i NANDROID'd beforehand (I may be new but i saw that was important) but anyway, my SD card will not mount when i flash with or without wiping data and cache...I have a Kingston 16GB class 4 or 6 (i can't remember lol) and was using no A2SD+ on both versions.
Thanks in advance
Scan your SD card for errors, that solves it most of the time. Do this with a cardreader or from within the recovery.
alright, i will try that mate. If i copied everything off the SD card and re-formatted it as FAT32 will that do as well if there are any errors?

Hey guys,
So, having a little problem with my dad's Galaxy Y. I tried to root the device this evening and when I went to the stock recovery and chose "Update from SD card" it gave me an error.
E:Could not mount /sdcard No such file or folder exists.
This happened with a Class 4 Kingston 4Gig SD card.
However, when I used another SD card(1 Gigabyte-Class4 Kingston), it worked perfectly. However, I want to use my 4 Gig card for custom ROMs and link2SD. Is there any way I can keep using my 4 Gig card and NOT get that Error?
Thanks.
PS. By the way, the SD card is working fine, and it's working in the phone OS, Windows, Mac OS X SL and Linux.

Reformat your SD Card using MiniTool Partition Wizard and make sure the file system is Fat32. Report back after you tried this step.

Done and done, still the same error. :/
I remember having the same problem with a Kingston SDHC Card, repartitioning fixed it.
Try re-moving the card when in recovery and then re-insert it and try again. If that'll not work, re-flash it to stock firmware then root the device. Re-flashing won't take that much time, between 43-46 seconds only. Everything you need is in my Samsung Galaxy Young for Dummies guide, under ROM and Kernel Flashing.
Simply format the sd card in "full" i.e. Full format, not quick format. Fat32.
Prob solved.
Try mini tool this way
1. Delete the entire partition
2.Now create new partition
3. First one for links2sd 512mb ext 3
4.remaining space for the primary memory fat32
5. Now copy your update. Zip to the card. Try again

You have to partition you 8GB card in the same manner of the smaller one (sd-ext big at least the same or bigger + the same swap) if you want to use it with the old rom. You just have to put your old rom backup on the new sd card, and then from recovery do advanced restore-just sd-ext cause everything else is still on the phone.
If you want to flash a new rom, the only requirement for partitioning of the new card is requirements of the rom developer.

I don't know what recovery you use but I recommend 4ext (go to 4ext.net, download recovery updater app, install it to your phone and from app flash recovery.img).
First copy all you have on your fat32 part of sd card to your PC.
Then do a complete nand backup from recovery.
Copy backup folder (from clockwork/backup folder) and 4ext folder you made to your PC.
Copy 4ext folder from your PC to your new sd card (using card reader on your PC)
Turn off the phone and remove old sd card.
Put the new sd card into phone.
Reboot phone into recovery (power+volume down and then select recovery).
Choose tools then partition sd card and remove all and start from scratch.
Choose size and type of sd-ext I recommend 1gb ext4, skip second ext and choose size for swap if you want qnd rest of the sd card fat 32.
Let 4ext execute everything.
When it's done go to main menu and choose toogle usb storage.
Create folder clockworkmod/backup on you sd card.
Copy your nand backup folder you stored on you pc to that folder.
Choose disconnect to unmount sd card.
Choose backup/restore option.
Choose advanced restore and restore only sd-ext.
Voila, it easier to spend 30min of my time then to search a little and find everything already written.:banghead:
Thanks for your support.
