Cant you just take out the sd and use a card reader and a pc to format it back to fat32?

Or learn some adb and format in recovery. I hate to see a phone given up on due to an issue reading a sdcard.
Also android has a format option in the storage menu. Have you tried that?

i booted to cwm, couldn't format because the phone doesn't recognize it.
tired it from cm10.1 storage, no luck so idk anymore.

Try this:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Connect phone to PC (must have working adb)
3. Start->Run->cmd
4. Type adb shell where you normally would run adb.
5. mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Or simpler, did you try wiping external storage (in TWRP recovery) or a similar sdcard wipe in CWM?

SD card unavailable

Hi.
I have rooted ROM defrost 2.0a and new radio. After flashing radio SD card became unavailable. I have used RUU original ROM and I am back to stock, but still SD card is unreadable. SD card is good and works on other devices. I want to ask if there is any way to make sdcard readable on my desire again.

Golly..We dont call it a she..
It isnt readable at all? Or is it mounted and only the files are unreadable? Are you rooted?

Can you mount any other card? Or have you got just this one?
put your sd card in your computer.
click computer and when the sd card/removable drive appears
Right click > properties > tools > check now > fix errors.
Try that?

After doing that, you would have to do the other steps, esp flashing the misc for your CID. Read TheProfessor's post fully. You've got to modify the .img with your CID..
That said, I've never encountered this issue on my own phone, so I've got only an academic understanding of the problem. It should work though.
but step 3 says
You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:

Did you try that command? I'm assuming that adb can work with the card even though it's not mountable on Android..
Try the tutorial out and post error codes if any at each step..
Code:
cat: can't open '/sdcard/flash_image': No such file or directory

You did copy flash_image to sdcard before trying that out? Also, could you try that out in 'adb shell' after rebooting into recovery?
I copied both files on the sd card...
even tried it in Recovery...
But sd card is not mounted..so the file can't be opend

[Q] Sd card partition fails

Please help me.
I can ' t partition my sd card . I ' m using CM 6.1 . I have tried
several methods, both ROM Manager and AppsToSd apps don ' t
do nothing when trying to perform the partitioning , after
requested reboot everything' s the same . Adb didn ' t work either ,
says not found . I even wiped and reflashed the Rom . What could
be wrong?
What do you mean 'everything is the same'? You can't see the ext partition, especially with windows and your phone won't list it anywhere.

Yes. I have flashed a2sd add on and when I try to enable it, both with adb or terminal, it says ext partition is not mounted.
Btw when attempting to partition with ROM Manager it assures that everything on sd will be erased but after a reboot, all the files are still on sd, nothing erased.
Well what I would suggest is using a program on your computer to partition the sdcard (pull the card out and put it in your pc) you don't have to pull it out and put it in your computer but it's a lot quicker. I can't remember what I used so you'll need to google it or search 'create ext partition' on here.
After that, install the package and run the commands, you should be set after that.
Ok I found Acroinis Disk Director Suite on my laptop and with its help deleted fat32 partition, created ext3 of 509 Mbs and linux swap about 40 mbs and finally fat 32 of the rest of a card ( it also creates an emprty piece of about 7,8 megabites that can't be added to any partition). BTw I don't know why but the card isn't recognized by windows in card reader anymore, only when usb disk drive mode. And it can't load update.zip when attempting to get to clockwork recovery ( I restored this file after partitioning). And when typing su cd /system/bin/ sh a2sd reinstall or a2sd cachesd in terminal or adb, in the end it says no ext partition mounted wtf? And btw built in function to format card does this: formats card deleting all partitions and creates a fat32 partition of about 7.4 gbs. I'm so confused... Maybe my card is screwed? I don't know , I spent much time trying to get this working, but nothing helps.

ok.. here is how i did it and it was extremely easy.. assuming you have adb working since you are rooted and you have to do that with adb.. then, put your sdcard back in your computer, back up everything and just format the whole thing to FAT32 using that program you say you used... then put the clockwork update.zip back is your sd card (if you think your update.zip might be corrupted or something use this one and rename it to update) along with this other file just in case..http://www.mediafire.com/?bli1zubj8otlo00
then go into recovery and then into clockwork right? now here comes the adb part, plug in your phone and open the command prompt, type adb shell press enter, now type sdparted and press enter and you should get instructions now... if nothing happens when you type sdparted flash the just in case file in recovery BEFORE plugin the usb to the phone, after this do the adb part again.. follow instructions and you will be good to go

Sounds like he's not using correct syntax.
CD to your androidsdk\tools folder in command prompt, then type adb shell and THEN do the commands that he told you to do.
I think he was just typing adb sdparted which doesn't work.
edit: Nevermind, my bad, I'm dumb and didn't read the post through thoroughly, you already told him to do adb shell and it didn't work.

Yeah but might be right. I've set up enviromental variables in my pc so I can run adb whenever and wherever I want without changing the dir. to the sdk one.. but let's assume he knows how to adb since he is rooted n_n
Perhaps you could tell us how you partitioned your sdcard?? Maybe he can do it that way.. who knows..

Need help ASAP!!!

Ok, I'm having some serious effin' problems. I was running MIUI 1.1.28 and earlier I was having issues with device not syncing, but got that taken care of with a full wipe and fresh install. Then, after that my Google accounts wouldn't sync...WTF! I just ended up saying "F*ck it" and booted into recovery so I could restore my MIUI 1.14 backup. I used Calkulin's format all zip first ...
Now....my Evo is f*cking bricked! All system data has been wiped (no ROM installed) so I'm stuck in Bootloader or recovery and Nandroid backup refuses to restore anything. I keep getting "Error: run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!"
I tried:
Code:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
cd /sdcard
cd nandroid
ls
cd HT**********
ls
cd BCD***-********-****
nandroid-mobile.sh restore
...but my Evo has less than 30% power.
HELP!!!

I had this happen once to fix it I mounted to my pc copied everything over to a folder then un-mounted and reformatted the sd card then copied everything back and then all was good.
Ok, I did finally get my device to charge and I restored backup via adb shell. I think my recovery image must have become corrupted somehow. Weird...

Help fixing Droid Inc's emmc after NTFS format?

Guess what guys, I thought it would be a smart idea to format my Dincs internal storage to NTFS...I needed to transfer a big file and didn't have anything on it so it seemed like a good idea. Yes I didn't have a flash drive. Anyway, it didn't turn out good. I'm not really worried about being able to use it again (I have a 32gb sd card) but I don't like broken things. I'd like to fix it, I've already done some homework but have got no results. I am currently running this for anyone interested. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143575 Any ideas on how to get it to work again? Even my computer won't read it -___-

Do you have adb setup and working on your pc?
You need to be in recovery and then open an adb shell. Run the folowing hitting enter after each line.
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
print
You will see a line starting with "Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: ...MB"
What ever that size says at the end use in the following line.

Some recovery don't support mounting the internal memory. Try the following command:

The app gets installed on "Data" partition, not the "sdcard", so You can install it. Install it using the command :
