Formatting goldcard

Sorry if this is a silly question but can somebody please answer it anyway.
I have a spare sd card which i have used as my goldcard but for various reasons, i would like my main sd card to be my goldcard.
The question is, if i make my main sd card into a gold card, if for any reason i have to format my goldcard in the future will it cease to be a goldcard after the formatting?

I think it could get corrupted over time, especialy if you use it every day. Just to be safe repeat the gold card process when you need it, it only takes a couple seconds
EDIT: i think that it will still be a gold card after formating, the bigger issue is corruption

Yes, you can still continue to use your Gold Card as your regular sd card and still format it when required as this will have no effect on it.
Even if you re-partition your sd card, it will still function as a Gold Card.

Thanks for the answer. Just what i wanted to know.

Gold Card

Can I make gold card with card reader or it have be in the phone? Since my rom need sd ext to run so i cant take sd card out.

Never try with the card reader and i don't think it works.
However, you can plug the new card and boot into recovery mode. CM should have an option to mount usb device so you could work from there.

You can indeed make the goldcard in a reader. The phone is irrelevant as the cid you need is from the sd card itself.

Well i tries using card reader but it said it couldnt get cid.

It can be done. Why dont you also just mount the sd in recovery?

Phone is not reading SD card?

While i was updating one of my apps my phone went to a black screen and restarted i think, i wasn't paying attention to it at the time. And when it came back on none of my apps on my sd card were available. Also im unable to mount or unmount my sd card. I also restarted and removed the battery and sd card, which did nothing.

I just tried a different sd card and it worked. Is it possible that my sd card just died?

Does any other device (Phone, PC card reader) reads your card?
Try re-format it (use 3rd party app).
If not working, then it's dead.

I have the same problem with my SD card.
A formatted and go from zero.

I've had something like this, my card seemed to format itself while in use.
I just reformated the lot and repartitioned using gparted and everything was fine,
think it was down to a dodgy app? on my phone because after i deleted a few apps it never happened again.

What would be an app that would reformat it? And i tired a diffrent sd card in my phone and it read that one so its just my sd card.

Think it was a dodgy copy of swift key that caused it, left that off and its never happened again.

[Q] Formating SD card problem

I've had a 2 GB SD card in my WFS, it was formatted properly, Int2Ext4+ and everything else was working, now I need more space so I changed to a 8 GB SD card, but when I try to format it with MiniTool Partition Wizard it says bad disk or something like that. Then I need to eject the SD card and insert it again and then I have to format it again.
Is it possible that there is something wrong with the SD card and I should just buy a new one? It was working before when it was just used to save data on it, but when it comes to formatting it doesn't really work.

it said error bad disk because you might had formatted it wrongly or take out sdcard many reasons.
just put that in your phone properly and then power off phone.after power off remove sdcard and put it in card reader with computer.
and then it ll said format memory card then format it and then you can use minipartitional tool.

I don't think that's the problem, cause I did everything like how I did on my previous SD card, and on that card it was working properly.
But I'll try to do what you said, if it doesn't work I'll buy a new one, it's not so expensive anyways.

It was always working wierdly, that's why I didn't use it in my phone in the first place, but since it was good enough for my mp3 player I thought I'd give it a try again, guess I shouldn't have.

SD-Card removed unexpectedly
I partitioned the sd-Card and used INT2EXT4+ ., internal memory is fine reading above 800MB cuz it was 1 GB partition, but i am getting error over and over again that ''SD-Card removed unexpectedly'' and ''damaged sd card'' my card has total 8GB

Its a weird problem....but maybe you changed the file system of your sd card or something like that. Otherwise..you should buy a new one!

Error saving camera-taken photos onto external SD card

Recently my Note 2 keeps getting errors saving camera photos onto the external
SD card.. Have to save onto internal SD card instead.. And when I later try to move the photos from the internal SD card to the external SD card, the photo gets corrupted and doesn't display at all. Anyone with this issue too..?
Not sure if this is an issue with my SD card or the firmware..? Didn't recall having this issue on the earlier firmwares.

This is the last resort I'll take.. Haha thanks for your input!

Back up all the data via a card reader or put the card in another phone.

Is it a brand new memory card or old one.. which class?
If old then may be it is corrupted

OK now my SD card is totally not being detected at all.
I tried putting my SD card into another phone and its not being detected as well. Could be a spoilt card. Its a class 4 8gb Kingston card. Could it be spoilt due to old age..?
