I just got a 32GB Micro SD Card for my evo and I am trying to replace my current 8gb card. I was previously running MIUI 11.26 and using clockworkmod recovery. I followed these steps because I couldn't find anything Evo specific:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/ho...-android-when-using-swap-hero-and-or-apps2sd/
when trying to format and reapply the rom i was using i received this error msg:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Now I don't know where to go from there. I previously had a 16GB card fry because apparently i didn't take the correct steps to get it working properly, i do not want that to happen again. Can ANYONE give me specific instructions for swapping my SD Card for my Evo?? If so I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!
And yes...this is probably rather "noob-ish" and I DID already search the forums for any help and couldn't find what i was looking for. Again any help is appreciated
Thanks!!
just copy all files from your 8g card to the 32g card pop it in the evn and you are good to go, nothing special required. Unless you are using apps to sd, then the easiest way s to put all apps back on the phone, then after switching to the new sd put them all back on the sd.

Yea I tried that and kept getting an error msg. I think there are specific steps for partitioning etc I just don't know them.

sorry if i'm misinformed but the evo has 2.2/apps2sd built in and 2.2 partitions the sd card on reboot. The article u linked i believe is for devices with 2.1 or ealier and a modded apps2sd . I have swapped many different cards and have not had to do anything that special.
Here are my steps:
1. go into settings manage applications and pull all apps back to phone.
2. copy all files/pics/vids/whatever u want to keep to computer.
3. power off, swap out sd cards, power back on.
4. phone should boot and partition sd or whatever.
5. use astro file manager and if it shows directory for sd, asec, secure then everything is good and u can move apps back to sd.
6. hook phone to sd and move all your kept files from old sd to new sd
I have seen your problem happen with a bad sd card, where did you get the 32g card. You may want to test it and see if it is actually a 32g.

Thanks for the response...just a question before i go forward with it, when i replace the card and reboot the phone, is it automatically going to boot up w/ the rom i was using before replacing the card?
Edit: Tried these steps and got stuck in bootloop for MIUI (rom i had flashed previously). Even tried to put the initial PC36IMG file on the sd card and flash it through recovery, nothing! It searched for it then says it directory cannot be found. I've put the 32gb card in my card reader on my computer and it comes up just fine, I can add files to it, format it etc and everything works, any other suggestions...this is becoming highly frustrating! Again any help is definitely welcomed!
So i still cannot seem to get this working, and I've tried doing a lot of different things and nothing is working for me, I have tried to install some sort of file manager program (astro) but it doesn't recognize my sd card, yet my phone shows it as mounted and with plenty of space available. I do not know what else to do...can ANYONE help me?
i had a similiar problem recently. For christmas I received a new sd card. At fist it didn't recognize my card. I tried to format it using my PC but I then went to my recovery (Amon RA) and clicked on the Partition SD card option.
After I partitioned, I turned on USB-MS toggle and put all my files back into the phone (including my rom zip).
I disabled USB-MS toggle, and then wiped data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache
Flashed zip from sdcard and violoa. It works!
try that one out.

how would i partition a 8 GB micro sd card with AmonRA?
Hello,
I started using my E4GT again because my current phone is being repaired. The phone just froze up on me today and rebooted and was stuck on the black "Samsung Galaxy SII" screen. So I went into recovery and tried to restore my backup from April but it kept getting a MD5 mismatch even though I didn't rename or even touch the file. It wouldn't let me backup my current ROM either. So I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache and tried but nothing. So I went to install a new ROM off my SD and it said "can't mount SD" or something. So I had to flash the stock JB E4GT ROM and now in the notifcations, it says "Blank SD Card - SD card is blank or has unsupported file system". So I put the SD into a SD card reader and my computer will not find it and I can use another SD card on my phone just fine. My SD has all my pictures on it and it sucks that I can't get them back but is there a way that I CAN get them back? The SD also has all my TB files on it.
Thanks
If the PC can't see the card at all, not just a missing file system, then you are SOL. SD cards do die, and can be killed.
If the PC can see the card, but not the file system, you might be able to run a low level data recovery app on the pc to get back some of your stuff.
One of the reasons I got this phone after having a G2 for a year was to be able to use external storage. Well I am now on my second 128GB sd card, which the phone is supposed to be able to recognize, but it's all but useless. When I inserted each card the first time the phone recognized it and was able to mount it and I was able to write to it. But whenever I tried to copy files using a file manager (I use Total Commander with root access) it will tell me to "select the root of the SC card to gain access" or something similar. So I do that, but it still fails to be able to write to it. Sometimes it causes the SD card to unmount and not be readable by the phone at all except in recovery. I'm on stock 5.0.1 from T-Mobile. Is this an android issue or a phone issue? The first sd card is totally corrupt - I can't even mount it on my PC to format it. I want to find out what the problem is before corrupting this one. The second one I just tried getting permissions using my QuickPic app to copy files over, and I followed the instructions to gain write permission and it seemed to indicate it was successful. But nothing was copied. Then suddenly the SD card was no longer mounted and the OS doesn't see it. I rebooted in recovery and it sees it there. I tried formatting the last one in recovery and that's when it got so corrupted that it was not usable. Any help here?
This may or may not help, but I use either TWRP Manager or the "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" app to apply the SD card patch in LP (the SDFix app also works in LP).

... so after I root the phone using the One-Click script, I use TWRP Manager to apply the SD card patch, then after the reboot use it to install TWRP.
Hello.
I had weird problems with my HTC and decided to restore my backup, but after doing so for some reason I got into bootloop. Then I decided to do advanced wipe and wipe everything but my sd card and then install a fresh GPE ROM from it. Now I can't take photos (It says "insert SD Card before using camera" - I have an sd card) and download any file outside of Google Play Store. When I go into /storage/ I have a sd card folder with all the files and /0/ folder which is supposed to be my internal storage but it's empety. I had this problem before but it was solved by doing advanced wipe instead of factory reset. Now I've done the same but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Managed to solve that by flashing Android Revolution HD ROM and then flashing GPE Rom again. Everything works fine now.
Had a custom rom
My phone didn't function well, deleted everything , even the OS so I had to push it and flash it again so far so good the phone booted
Now Here's the problem, downloaded whatsapp tried to download a photo bam error
Tried to take a photo error: insert in sd card
Tried to download something from chrome error:no sd card
Connected my phone to the computer, nothing happed then a simple sound of connection.
I think the problem is that the phone doesn't know where is the storage... Like where is the dcim folder for the photos and etc.
Any solution?
Go into TWRP (assuming that is the custom recovery you have installed), go to Wipe section, then tap the button to format storage. See if that helps.
