Problem partitioning sd card - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I partitioned my sd card with mini tool partition wizard in 2 partition: 6gb in fat32 and 2gb in ext2. When i install sd card on the phone, it says that the card is empty or file system is not supported. I tried to format the card via cwm but it says "error mounting sd card".
I have stock 2.3.3 rom, unlocked bootloader, root and custom kernel lupus 1.1.4
What can i do??????????
Thanks!!!!

I would probably format in mini tool again all to fat32 put a couple of files on it in windows (Just to know that you have got something on the card) try again see if phone recognizes it if it does repartition again with mini tool:fingers-crossed:

Yes but to partition the card i have to delete all the files on it, so try to get in the card a couple of files in windows is not pointless aswell?

No what i mean is after you have format card to fat 32 put a couple of files you don't need on the card to see if your phone recognizes them not before you partition.Then if that works and you phone does recognize card and files you can then repartition,don't partition until your phone recognizers your card. :fingers-crossed:If that still not working you can download software to test your card to see if any faults on it.

New SD card

I have just upgraded my SD card from 4 gb to 16 gb, is there any way to make a complete transfer of ALL the contence? Not just the stuff I can copy/paste but also the ext partion? So I don't need to reinstall Shadowfrost? I tried to insert the new card, and do a install from the SD card, without wipe'ing anything, but that resulted in a bootloop!
Use Linux to copy the files on the ext partition.
Partition the SD first.

Can it be done with a live cd?
Yes you can.

I couldĀ“ent copy the content, so I just made a fresh install, but I did'ent get the apps2sd working, i know I made an ext partition, but after 3 tries it keeps installing to the phone instead of the SD card. What am I doing wrong?

[Q] SD card damages

I've just bought the new SD card 32 GB and tried to partition but when mount on the phone, there is error " SD card damged, need to reformat again"
After format the card by using the phone. The card can be used. Is there problem with the card or my ROM's phone?
I'm using Zte v9 mytap Optus and it has been rooted
How do you partition the SD-Card? On your PC? - Which filesystem have you choose? (ext3?)
Kotake
Yeah. I did it on PC using mini tool partition with win XP. I don't have card reader. Just plug the phone to PC and mount the card. The card was formated fat32 and ext2
No one cannot help me ?
Try Gparted.
Remember that the first partition needs to be FAT32, followed by your smaller ext partition.
sd died, i thick that her life finish...

If you can use the card after you formated with your phone, everything is okay.
The card just came unformatted or in the wrong format, it is not deffective.

[Q] Galaxy Y Recovery problem with SD Card.

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!

No,your phone is not dead.It's a software issue
Did you tried mount in recovery?
Do u have a previous backup of system partition?
When I try mount external sd, there was error becouse "no card"
On 108 and 157 same problem and thats was not update, i install clear ROM and after do backup (108 ROM) from September (then I use 16GB ADATA card) still have the same problem
Did you format the card on phone? Don't just try to use computer to format it. I've tried a similar case but then after used the format tool on phone to format the card and the problem solved. If it doesn't work too, try to use other sd card.
You should format to FAT32!
But on my PC a can do this only exFAT or NTFS, when i format to FAT32 by recovery after put card to PC it want to format card

micro sd card problem

I'm having a problem with this brand new 32GB kingston canvas select micro sd card. Bought it for my dad, he's using a 100% stock G5. When first plugged in, the phone asked if the card was going to be used for internal or external storage, chose internal because my dad is kind of an app maniac (yeah, I know, tried to get him to stop but he's stubborn), formatting stopped at 30% for 10 minutes. Rebooted the phone, it stopped recognizing the sd card. Tried it on my phone, which is also using a 32GB kingston sd, and it didn't recognize it either, on the PC it works fine. Tried formatting it to every file system known to man and none of the phones will even know there's an sd card plugged in when using that particular sd card, but both will work fine with other cards. Could someone give me a hand with this?
I would use minitool (windows) or gparted (Linux)
Delete all partitions on sdcard
Create a new fat32 primary partition and format it

Other than factory resetting the phone or trying a different sd card there's nothing else you can do
