[Q] Phone doesn't work with different SD card

Here's my problem :
-I made 512MB ext3 on my SD card 4GB
-Installed STOCK FROYO ROM a2sd+
-Phone booted succesfully and worked fine
THEN I :
-Removed SD card (4GB) , and put 8GB one.
-Phone doesn't start , rebooting the white screen "quietly brilliant "
Would the PHONE run into recovery MODE with the 8GB ONE ?
If Does , I Would copy STOCK FROYO ROM ( which installs on the PHONE , not on the SD CARD ) , Kernel , Radio , Flash them , WITH 8 GB ONE .
And then I hope the phone would work ??
Now I Can't TRY This , because my phone is not at home ..
Please help me , im so worried

Make a nandroid
Create a ext partition on your new card.
Copy fat partition from old to new card.
Swap cards.
Restore nandroid.

There at least 3 threads which I replied to with the exact same problem.
TheGhost1233's solution is the right one BTW.

If I wipe the old ROM , Install a new one which doesn't support A2SD ( I Mean ROM which installs on PHONE and doesn't need SD card to RUN) , Then moutn the 8GB card .
Would this work ?
I mean , how to back when I bought the phone .. WHen i bought it It Could work without SD Card , thats what i want to do ... Because after that I Would be able to moutn 8GB card ..

Just copy a rom to the new card (including pictures music and other stuff you want form the old card)
Put new card in the phone
Boot in recovery
Full wipe and flash the rom.

Yes, then you have to flash a ROM which does not need an EXT partition (so no a2sd, d2ext... whatever)

1. Remove the old card
2. Put the new one
3. Via RECOVERY MODE ( I don't know would it work wihout the SD card, Hope so) , Go into mout card via storage
4. Copy the new ROM
Suggest me any Stock froyo ROM , which doesn't include a2sd or any of those. Just a one normal for Phone
5. Flash it , with radio ( Without any KERNEL )
6. ENJOY
Right ?

[Q] partiotioning SD CARD

I got HTC Wildfire and i just installed RemPuzzle 2.83(which is great btw but that's not the point here)
and my CWM recovery is v2 or i don't remember.
i had v5 in my sd card.
i booted on my recovery(old version) and then i selected to install v5.
from v5 i selected to partition the sd card(options 4GB memory and swap 0) :silly:
it completed the task and after that the sd card is uselless.
the phone can't read the sd and my computer(windows) suggests to format the sd card but it cannot complete the task.
my question is
can i get the sd card working again or it's going to the trash can?
i don't care about the data inside,before anything was done i ha backup done to my pc.

Use clockworkmod v 5 to format the SD card or just re-partition again with a swap size

my phone can't recognise the sd card.not even in recovery.when i selected wipe sd card it says "skipped sd card - complete"
as an effect i also can't partition again the sd card from my mobile.

Try to format your sd card via cmd (windows).
Just a thought.

Using an sdcard reader use the windows program called easeus partition master. If that doesn't work your only hope may be a Linux terminal. But make sure you use a different card reader as to rule out the phone as an issue.

Hiya mate, have a try with Heavy_Metal_Man suggestion with a partition manager, a good one I use is Mini Partition Manager, it has detected the 3 cards I have broke before :silly:
mount it to pc,
completely remove all partitions
and create 1 new partition across entire card,
reboot in to recovery when it tells you its created the partition.
and try it again
Hope this helps, if it did click " Thanks " on the posts you think helped!

ok guys.
thank you for your help.
i solved it...
i used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition (with card reader) and saw the sd card and recreated all the needing staff so the sd card could be usable again.
what i did with CWM recovery is that i didn't replace totally the stock CWM,i just run the v5 something like virtually.and that created the problem.
thank you guys for your response!
cheers.

AOA!!
Just go to settings > manage apps > on sdcard > now select app which u want to move on sd card > select option move to sdcard !
Well u will get free lots of space by just this .......We get 3,8 GB internal storage and now i have 3.7 GB ..
Also delete or move the movies folder (having sample videos) ................
And if u want to move the large data of games, root your mobile and use folder mount (in play store) to move large data to sdcard....
:highfive:

use to B116 rom..go to settings> storage> default install location sd card choice..otherwise there is no possibility.

ive installed fifa 2012 and the data was not transfered to the SD card

update your device to Firmware B116 !

Low Ram Problem

Hello !
I have a question for you guys.
I have bought a SD card to my phone. Total space is 7.39gb but although i have moved apps to the SD card there is still available space 7.35gb.
Then the phone can all of a sudden tell me that SD card is full ??
The phones storage is the following:
1.SD CARD
total space 7.39gb
available space 7.35gb
2. USB STORAGE
1.10gb
available space 590mb
3. SYSTEM STORAGE
available space 0.97gb
Is there something i can do ?
I really appreciate the help !

Are u in kitkat ??

Sorry i forgot to mention that my phone uses stock GB...

did u try mount/unmount sd card or a factory reset ??

I have formatted the phone but i have never formatted the internal memory or sd-card, should i maybe
I unmounted the sd-card , turned off the phone, restarted and put the sd-card back but it doesnt help or what should it do
Sorry my stupid questions but this is my first android so please be patient with me thanks

Maybe the problem is from the rom or check if ur sdcard is not protected in write (can be done on pc) if not u can format the phone ,the internal sd card and external sd card and if the problem occurs then u have to change the rom maybe it's time to jelly bean or even kitkat !! and I think u'll not have to upgrade ur rom because I think that formating all ( phone, int.sdcard ,ext.sdcard ) will solve the problem ...
I'm waiting for ur answer or if u decide to upgrade I can helpu then

Thanks for your reply !
How do i check if the sdcard is not protected in write ? I have an 8GB SanDisk Ultra card.

Another problem , i have had problem with moving pictures/videos to the SD-card so there have been pictures/videos in both the default storage and on the SD-card.
Now i managed to move them all to the SD-card with this link http://www.smartmobilephonesolution...res-samsung-android-smartphone-to-memory-card
Then i checked the default storage where i click the Gallery icon and they were still there so i deleted them all. Now they are all gone, also from the SD-card !

[Q] HTC Desire A8181 with custom ROM won't boot

Hi,
Years ago I rooted my HTC Desire A8181 and flashed it with a custom LeeDrOiD V2.x ROM.
It worked flawlessly.
I stopped use that phone after I bought a Samsung.
Recently I found my old HTC Desire in a closet and wanted to see if it works.
I enabled the Desire and it shows white background with HTC word in the middle of the screen. Then it shows black background with ANDROID word in the middle of the screen and that screen stays forever. Right now there are no SIM and Memory cards in the phone.
I suppose, without memory card the phone will not boot, correct?
Please advice, what should I do to bring my HTC Desire back to life.
Thanks
Evgeny

LeeDroid 2.5 must have sd memory for sd-ext partition.

I see!
I have to find a new card to do that.
Please remind me
1. Can I format SD Card with FAT32 & an EXT3 partitions in the phone?
2. Do I need to copy a Zipped file (Recovery ZIP ?) to the card and where can I find it?
Is there a ROM for this old phone, which not requires an external SD memory card?
Thanks again.

You can create partitions in SD using TWRP or CWM recovery.
You insert "ROM.ZIP" on FAT32 partition. In recovery you choose this place.
All firmware RUU do not include service sd-ext.

Thanks,
I got it!
