Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone would be as kind to help me with a problem I am having with my phone or at least point me in the right direction. I currently have a rooted EVO 4G. Its one of the first generation EVO's and its been rooted from Android version 2.2. I have never had a problem with using any Roms before, but I recently lost my original SD card, (The card I initially used to root my phone) and for some reason unknown to me, the alternate card that I now use, does not allow me to install new Roms. In fact, every time I try to install a Rom with this alternate card, the instalation gets aborted, the exact quotes are:
E:can't open /sdcard/MIUI.us_supersonic_1.12.2_Eng_Deo_zipA_signed_naro k.zip(bad)
Installation aborted.
The thing is, when I had my original card (8GB), if I wanted to use my alternate card (32GB) I would flash a Rom using the original card, and after flashing, use the 32GB card for the storage space. So I am assuming this it is not really a phone problem, just maybe something that I need to do or download to my alternate SD card (32GB).
One more thing, I was recently able to install a HTC EVO Sense Rom using the alternate card (32GB) Unfortunately, I am not able to install any ASOP Roms on this card.
Thank You in advance.
Did you try formatting the sd card? Also, it's possible the card is just bad too.

When I first purchased the card, I initially partitioned the card using Rom Manger, but I don't think that I have specifically formatted the card. Is there a formatting instruction page that you can point me to, or do you have instructions of how I should go about formatting my SD Card?
You can either format the SD card while in recovery or when on windows. Just format it then throw roms back on the SD card then wipe wipe wipe and flash away.

Hi guys.
I just bought a new Micro SD Card Class 6 for my desire and i want to replace my old sd card with the new one.
Based on Leedroid FAQ, before i could replace the sd card, i have to reformat the new one and create partition through rom manager.
The problem is, after i put my new sd card to my phone, i couldn't access android market for unknown reason therefore i couldn't install rom manager. How to fix this problem? Is there another way to create partition on new sd card so i can restore my nandroid backup?
If you get Download starting... and nothing else, log in to gmail/gtalk and change your status. Weird, but it helps.

Hi folks,
I've got a brand new class 10 sd card and would like to move to it from my old class 2 sd card. Unfortunately I'm currently using a ROM with the A2SD feature which means Titanium Backup and ROM Manager reside on the old and slow sd card. If I insert the new sd card into my Desire I therefore have no access to ROM Manager which prevents me from installing the new ROM. Also I cannot access the Market for the same reason.
So the question is: How can I move to the new sd card? The only solution I can imagine is to flash a rooted stock ROM and the flash my favorite ROM again. I wonder if there's an easier option...
Please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

LOL. You are using ROM manager to flash your ROMs?
What about the custom recovery you have? CMW/AmonRA.
Also you can move everything to the new card and restore everything after you've flashed the ROM.
I'm looking to upgrade my SD card to a 32GB one. Is it as simple as to copy everything to computer > transfer data onto new SD card > put in new card in phone and boot?
Do I need to do anything else if I'm rooted, running on EXT4 and one a custom ROM? Is formatting the card required?
It is always best to format the card in your phone first then restore the data. It resolves some compatibility issues this way.

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

Guys, I know how to format an SD card. Been a Linux geek for seven years now. On the topic, I think there was a problem with the previous repartition. Formatted and repartitioned it with Linux.
Solved. Thanks for the help. Cheers!
Hey everyone. Got an annoying problem.
So I just tried to install a ROM, downloaded the file onto my SD card. Went into recovery. I didn't see my external SD card under Install from ZIP
Usually I see install from SD card and install from external SD card.
I went into mounts to try to see if I could mount it. External_SD was able to be mounted but when I tried to mount SD card it wouldn't mount.
I also had a weird problem in the ROM itself. I couldn't see my external_sd card folder no more. When I go into a TW based ROM and select My Files from the app drawer, it shows the sd card and the ext_sdcard. But when I go into Root explorer, there used to be a folder in the root directory for ext_sdcard. Its not there anymore. I went into mnt/ and saw it there.
Did something happen to my recovery? I flashed CWM to the latest version and confirmed MD5.
Any help would be appreciated. I rather flash and save my ROM filed in my SD card and not internal memory.
Newest CWM Doesnt access the ext sd card. he said on his twitter he plans to fix it.

correct, for now all flashing to be done through internal memory only.
this message brought to you by my GalaxyS3 running Phantom's Blazer
TeamEPIC's recovery does access both. I've been using it. Trying another one as well just to see.
Thanks everyone. Thought I was going crazy.
TWRP for the win!
Do you know if your SD card is still good (or going bad)? It's a reasonably obvious question, but I had 2 SanDisk 32 GB cards go bad on me so I know the frustration. The /mnt/extSdCard in Root Explorer is a little misleading, I can create empty files in there without actually having a card in the slot. Something I discovered when I was troubleshooting my bad cards. Just a thought.
