So, I will Format my sd card, and it will go away. But I have tried 3 different sd card and it happens with every one so i know its not the sd card! And this wasnt happening before it just started like 3 days ago. Any ideas or help how to fix this??

could you be a bit more specific? what did you flash?

You know where u go in settings/battery to see your battery stats? It will say Screen, AndroidOS etc. IN there it will just say SD Card. I formated both the SD Card and Internal Storage and its gone now but its happened the last three times Ive flashed a rom. Oh, and it doesnt matter what Rom, Any rom I flash this seems to happen now all of a sudden. I usually go between 3 Roms, StrongSteve, FreeGS3 and Blazer

Have you tried a different SD card, or no SD card at all?

Yes I've tried different sd cards also.

Error while flashing a new ROM

Hi guys, i downloaded 2 roms here these days but all flashes failed due to the following error. The thing is first the device resets, then a white screen, then this error. Anyone can help me? Thx in advance.

Have you CID unlocked your device?
100%. I've flashed a few times.
Try flashing the new nosize USPL.

I can try that. Could you pls give a link of that? Thx.
Here. Also, have you switched from XP to Vista by any chance?
I didn't change from XP to Vista. I'm doing this on XP. But still with no luck. I couldn't flash the RUU_Signed.nbh either and had exactly the same error. After a reset, it just stops at the white screen somehow. damn...
Actually the update utility i used before to flash my mobile may be different from the one i'm currently using now. so i'll try using the same update utility later and post the result. im thinking maybe it's the update utility reason.
Ok. It works now. I removed the sd card and it just works. I know this sounds stupid. But before I 100% had the experience of successfully flashing it without removing sd card in advance.
And finally I kind of have some conclusion. If the sd card is in, the flash process would search for the sd card which is a quite time-consuming process lasting 3-5 minutes somehow on my device. And this causes the flash fail because it may have a timeout value less than that. If the sd card is removed, the search sd card process will end immediately and the device goes to next step very soon.
Just hope i've made this clear and can help some careless guys like me.
And thanks for randythered's kind heart.
No problem, and I feel sucky because I knew this is one of the possibilities and I forgot about it AGAIN! Somebody else had the same problem a few weeks back and I gave him every solution except removing the sim card and SD card. Jeez...!

Nandroid

I think there is something wrong with mine. It's been running a backup for about 10 minutes and still isn't done the dots are pass the htc logo now. I'm using the latest RA it's never took this long and it's not much on my phone to backup. It's been doing this all day been having to do a battery pull. It will restore and flash the right way but my backups arent finishing I'm going to let it fun for about 12 more minutes and if it's not done there is something really wrong. Anyone having this problem?
Here is what I looks like can someone help

I had this issue on 1.8 a few weeks ago, make sure your not plugged in. What I ended up doing was scan disk my card in my pc (found errors) then re partition my sdcard in the phone, then re flash my rom. I also updated to 2.2.1. After all this my problem went away. Not sure if you have to do it all.

So the big question is, why did it do this, and what can I do to fix it? Help is much appreciated since he has no backup phone and he's a heavy user so he needs his phone back up and running asap

Those errors are likely caused by a hardware error (bad internal memory chip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504
Hey rickyiswhite, I've experienced the same problem with my htc hd2. I am not hundred percent sure how and why this happened, but I managed to get my phone back to life. Here are two methods which I think might help you.
1. You might be missing 'initrid' and 'zImage' files in your sd card. You need these two files to flash new rom from your sd card otherwise the phone cant 'recognize' your sd card. You can find these two files from any rom you have downloaded, just copy and paste them into your sd card's root folder.
2. If this is not the case, I would recommend you to format your sd card (fat 32, i tried once to format my sd card to ntfs, and kind of destroyed it), and clear everything inside your phone using 'task29', which means you will lose everything stored inside your phone and sd card. Then you can uninstall and reinstall the HSPL (this might not be necessary, but I did that, just to make sure everything is cleared). Afterwards you just have to flash the radio and the magldr back. What's left now is to copy your rom into your sd card, remember to copy the 'initrd' and 'zImage' as well, and flash the rom, done!
However, I can't guarantee this would work because you know, different devices, so you have to take your own risk and responsibility to do this. FYI, you can also flash a new rom through computer, using the DFT.exe inside the rom. But currently most of the roms are flashed through magldr or clk, so it would take you some time to find the rom that can be flashed directly via computer.
Anyway, good luck to you, and hope these tips might help

Viewing internal (eMMC/USB) and external (SD) storage in Settings>Storage

Hi All
I have searched for answers to this in the forum and I can't find what I am looking for. I am sure some of you will have better search powers than me, congrats if you do.
I've rooted and flashed CM9 on my T989 and I have an SD card in the phone. I do not have much downloaded to my phone at all, as it is a fresh and clean install.
When I go to System>Storage I see the 'Internal Storage' at a paultry 1gb something and my SD card storage. But I do not see the 11gb eMMC/USB internal SD card.
Should I see three sets of storage, Internal, SD and eMMC/USB?

What cm9 version are you running? You should see two sections that at internal storage. One that gives you the 1.97gb (application stuff), another that gives you your "emmc" storage 11.whatever , and then obviously your sd card.
Similar to attached pics.

I do not have that. I am using the stable CM9. Not RC2.

I can toggle between eMMC and external but not see both at the same time.
Also, I can't transfer the apps on the SD card to the eMMC which I'd like to do to put a different SD card in.

Odd, sounds like it could be a bad flash...did you flash over a previous rom or is it a clean flash?

CM10 Camera Problem - blank/empty/corrupted photos

For some reason my camera app on CM10 can take about 3-5 photos but then suddenly stops and seems to save just a corrupted file.
It looks like this

I'm using Hurtsky's kernel but I don't think it makes a difference because I had the same problem on a stock kernel. My SD cards are swapped though
Has anyone experienced anything similar, or can help me get rid of the problem?

Maybe your sdcard is corrupted? I don't know. Try to format your sdcard
