I've rooted my Desire and installed the LeeDroid flavour of Froyo. I've formatted my SD card with the EXT3 partition, and everything went perfectly. However, I've found that when I run the new 3D Gallery application, the app stops resonding, and I need to close it (not force close though, just usual exit). When it closes, I receive a message saying "there is a problem with your SD card", and it mounts read only. I can remount the SD card, which resolves the problem. I'm guessing that the 3D Gallery is corrupted somehow, but can't uninstall it to see if this corrects the problem. Can anyone please let me know if there's a way of uninstalling the Gallery app (if this is the best way), or if there's a way to file check the SD card to fix errors (like FSCK), or if I can remove a corrupted directory, or anything really to fix this problem? Thank you
It's the A2SD+ bug. Search for SD card corruption.
use card reader to copy everything from your SD card FAT32 partition to your computer, format the SD card (just format the FAT32 partition), and transfer back the files from your computer to the card. that should do the trick.
always reboot your phone after going into Disk Drive mode to prevent this from happening again. or transfer files in recovery mode. that's A2SD+ bug. otherwise use rom without A2SD+.
I’ve recently upgraded the SD card in my desire to a 16GB class 4 and its giving me some major issues! I’m running OpenDesire 4.0.1 and the sequence of events was as follows:
1. Inserted new SD card and formatted with gParted: 512MB Ext3 and the rest FAT32 (Ext3 partition was at the end – hope that’s correct!)
2. Rebooted fine and all the apps stored on the internal memory were present and correct. Those that I had moved to the old SD card were missing so I uninstalled them.
3. Tried to install Estrongs file manager from appbrain using the fast web installer function. This downloaded OK but the phone rebooted during installation. Tried again but same thing occurred again.
4. Tried plugging phone into PC. USB debugging mode started up fine but I wasn’t offered the option of mounting the SD card
5. Unplugged USB and inspected phone storage menu to find that no SD card was mounted
6. Rebooted a few times, removed and reinstalled SD card etc – still no SD card detected by the phone
7. Booted into recovery, connect phone to PC and used the “mount USB” option in Clockwork mod. This was successful and allowed me to inspect my SD card on the PC. Noticed that Dalvik cache and some apps (those not included as part of the ROM) were present on the SD card (FAT32 partition) – OpenDesire must have moved them there automatically (but why to the FAT32 partition and not Ext3?).
8. Rebooted phone out of recovery to check that those apps that appeared on the SD card were accessible in Android. Found that they were, which is strange given that the SD card was still not being detected by the system.
9. Decided to mount SD card again via clockwork recovery method and formatted the FAT32 partition with gParted.
10. Rebooted phone and found SD card still not detected and all those apps that had magically been moved to the SD card by OpenDesire were (unsurprisingly) gone.
11. Tried a few adb commands that I found in another thread but didn’t seem to have any effect.
Out of ideas – can anyone help?! Will try old SD card tonight and see what happens, but I don’t think there is a problem with the new card since I managed to successfully mount it through clockwork. I’m also wondering why the apps were moved to the FAT32 partition instead of Ext3? I thought that’s what the Ext3 partition was for?
Cheers
The FAT32 partition must be the first partition on your SD card, and it seems from what you've said that you created the EXT partition first.
Regards,
Dave
no the the FAT32 was first then the Ext3
OK fixed. Managed to mount the SD card on the PC via clockworkmod, deleted all partitions and rebooted phone. Phone detected SD card and asked me to format it. Did that and then added a ext partition using gParted.
SD Card Cant be Detected on Desire(Solved)
Hiii... guys.. even i went through the same problem.. and tried formatting using Linux,Windows.. but nothing happpnd... as a final trial i tried it to factory reset(i.e., SD CARD).. by using hp usb disk storage format tool ...... and it was successful...
As for now just google the Software
Good LUCK!
Hey guys,
I was going through the process of installing the new leedroid rom by T-mod 2.2d.
I did a back up from nandroid and did a full wipe.
I went to install from zip and i couldnt find any of my ROMs i had copied onto my sd card? i am 100% confident i placed them in there.
Just today i partitioned my sd card properly with two primary partions of fat32 and ext3. Fat 32 has 29gb free and ext 3 has 512. Could there be a problem here? i just followed the instructions provided and everything looked sweet.
Before i had partitioned i copied all my files onto my HD then i proceeded using Gparted. Since everything was wiped off my SD card i just cut all the backup files from my HD back to the SD. It took up too much space on my pc!
All i have done is factory wiped and clear dalvik and then i rebooted (since none of the ROMs were listed in 'install zip from sd card'. It was then stuck on the leedroid startup page and goes on a loop.
I then performed a restore from nandroid. It now boots up fine, but now my SD card seems to be corrupted! all the files in there are shown with symbols etc. I can add new files into the sd card though and they dont appear to have weird symbols. I clicked on the disk and clicked on the diagnostic button which i also selected to fix automatically issues. Now my whole SD is wiped. and there are no files in there anymore... i put a few mp3s within and the music players dont detect any mp3 music.
Anyone have a take on what i can do? argh! i am still on 2.2b after the restore but my sd card has no files etc.
please someone help me, i will be very grateful!

it may just be a corrupt sd card, it happens sometimes you should return it and get it replaced
It was working 100% fine for a long time mate.
Should i go back into Gparted and delete my ext3 partition? I want to format my sd card, but im really confused atm.
My phone is working etc with all messages and phone history still here. It is running T-mod 2.2b. But all my apps which i had stored to my sd card are no longer functioning and i also wiped delvik from my phone.

your best bet isnt to just format it, but use gparted to delete both partitions on your sd card, then re-partition and try again
I just deleted both partitions and just created 1 partition as fat 32 will full memory using Gparted. I unmounted my phone and took the sd card out and put it back in, rebooted.
Connected it to my pc - but there are no folders in the SD card?
The phone isnt installing any software on the sd card when i boot it up?
I put mp3 files into the sd card but the phone doesnt read any music. Is it because im using a rooted desire? with T-mod 2.2b.
Literally all my files on my SD card are gone, no idea how to proceed
anyone??
I can still move apps (not the dalvik) to the sd card.
But my SD card has no folders in it. My phone wont install any on the SD card.
It says i have full memory out of full memory available. I formatted the sd card just then, since all my files are not there anyways.. still nothing happening
Help! running T-mod leedroid 2.2b! all internal apps etc are working fine.
What if i perfom an nandroid backup, store it to the sd card.
Then put the 2.2d rom and radio rom on and flash the two?
Will all the folders etc be stored back to my sd card?
Update: performed nandroid backup. Put 2.2d rom and radio rom on the sd card and again it does not appear on the zip list in recovery.
What is going on!
Fixed pm me if you want solution

why not post here? if this turns out to be quite common you woudnt want to reply to xxx users would you ?
I have had the same issue twice now under LeeDroid 2.2a and 2.2b.
Right now I am using my Ubuntu laptop so I inserted the SD card into the laptop. It mounts the 7.5 gig Fat32 partition and lets me read what's on there, but it wont properly mount the ext3 partition. It shows as blank in the file browser (on the laptop) and wont let me copy to it or create any new files, so it seems corrupted in some way.
I knew I had a problem last night because my phone freezes on the white-background with green "HTC" lettering whilst booting. If I take the SD card out of the phone it boots ok, likewise if I replace the card with a different one, that's only formatted Fat32, that works ok.
I used the built in function of ROM manager to prepare the SD card, it created a 512mb ext3 partition at the end of the disk, not sure if that makes a difference. Has anyone had any success using proper apps like gparted to partition the card?
Really pi**ed off at this phone now. Dont want to wipe the card again just to have it work in my phone for another week.
[Solution]
I had a friend check out what was up with my SD card. Nandroids and zips were being stored onto the sd card but they weren't appearing on the fat32 side.
In fact, all the files were being stored to ext3! this was the root of the issue. I believe i partitioned incorrectly or what not by using Gparted. I have resulted in using Rom Manager (download off market) instead to set partition ~ much easier.
To fix the main issue with SD card: Go to phone settings -> SD & Phone Storage -> Unmount SD card --> Format SD Card.
Files should appear on your sd card again -> connect your phone to your USB and check that the files are back. That's your fix
Then just add your Roms, music, videos back onto your fat32 partition as before. Using Rom Manager, the Roms stored on SD appear again.
Edit: i have installed T-mod leedroid 2.2d and is working great.
To the previous post ~ i just did a full wipe because all my files on the SD card were corrupted anyways, could not even copy them. But i didn't think my SD card itself was corrupted.
Thanks,
Brendan
I did a little more investigating last night. On Ubuntu, if I insert the SD card, it mounts both partitions, but it can only read the fat32 one. I can see my images and stuff from there so I know its ok. But if I view the ext3 partition, it shows as empty, but if I right click on it, the properties show that there is 123mb in use of the 512mb partition. That seems about right because there should be some apps and stuff in there. I have made sure that the files arent hidden or anything, but still nothing.
If I try and copy anything to the partition, it wont let me and gives me a rather cryptic error: something along the lines that it cant access the card because it is not ready? I couldn't even unmount the disk because of the same error. I dont have my Ubuntu machine with me now so I cant check.
I can copy the stuff I want off my card and re-format/partition it but to be honest its more hassle than its worth.
I'd be more inclined to find out why this is happening. It only seems to go after the handset is rebooted (my battery went flat on Saturday) and since then, nothing.
I appreciate you posting your solution but I think we have slightly different problems..
Thanks
So it's possible I might just be dumb and screwed up, but I think I might have reformatted something that I didn't mean to reformat.
I wanted to wipe my SD card because I found that there were random pics appearing in my gallery of people I've never seen before in my life (got the phone second hand but popped the SD card in that I used with my old Fascinate). Opening up My Computer, there were two different removable discs that were the SD card inside my phone and what I now presume to be internal storage. I backed up everything I wanted and wiped both the SD card and the other storage device via my laptop.
Here is the problem. Whenever I boot the phone up, there is a notification that says my SD card is either blank or not in a compatible format... It asks if I want to format it, I click OK, and everything seems fine... Until I have to reboot the phone and it does the same thing all over again. This is getting to be an annoyance because I don't want to keep deleting everything on my SD card whenever I reboot my phone.
Can anybody help me fix this?
Okay I definitely did something to the internal storage. I tried taking my SD card out and rebooting it and I am still getting the blank SD card notification. It won't let me format it. What do I do?
Try connecting the sdcard to your computer through a usb adapter, or any alternative to using the phone's USB-mount. Format it with FAT32. Put it back in your phone and see if it works. If not, you might have a corrupt sdcard. Try a different one if available.
What directory were the pictures appearing in? It's possible they were cached from the browser or some social app.
I tried to format my sd cards tonight via computer format option. However my computer shut down in the middle of the process and now I can't see my sd cards anymore. I can't mount it at all. When I go into the recovery to wipe it, twrp says failed.
Does this mean it's completely dead?
solved it.
googled and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806059 for my internal sd card
and for my external, i used a card reader, plugged to pc, and reformat it.
also checked both cards for errors.
whew. i am never gonna reformat my cards again. ever.
