Hi guys
I've been searching for some days on google and this forum but I can't seem to find the solution to this: every time I try to download my ROM with d2s (romupdate) I get a "Card initialize is fail!"
I've got a Qtek S100 with a 256MB MMC card.
Anyone any clue what I'm not seeing?
Thanks

Is it an MMC card that you're using, or SD?
It is a MMC as I said in the original question, is that the problem?
Regards
Mark
MMS and SD have different protocols and to be honest I never headr anyone who used the romupdate program with an MMC card. It would be worth trying an SD card I think.
You need an SD card. It doesnt work with an MMC. Even I have tried. MMCs dont work for ROM dumping/upgrade.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try again!
Hope this posts helps for others

Sure did - tried reformatting MMC card using NetX Flash Format at various different formats - all to no avail.
Is there any other way to dump a ROM without have an SD card to hand?
I've got 4 MMC cards - and the idea of buying another card just for ROM updates seems such a waste.
the problem is that i cant read the normall MMC but wat i can read is dv-rs MMC so i just can read dual voltage MMC i dono y
wats the advice for this problem ?
by the way the normall MMC is working on PC
thanks
Hi,
I have a P5100 and I've a problem with the SD Card. In fact, this card works great, but sometimes this card is changed from R/W to R/O and so I have to use root explorer to put it back to R/W.
It is very annoying because when I use some apps to use this ExtSdCard (Titanium, download some large file, copy from Sd to Ext Sd with Total Commander, ...), the action is stop because the ExtSdCard is changed to
R/O
I've fix several time the permissions trough CWM, tried to change the permissions with root explorer to put the same permissions as the SD card, but impossible ...
I hope that somebody can help me ...
Thank you to all
From mount command reports:
/dev/block/vold/179:25 /storage/extSdCard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1023,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

The "errors=remount-ro" means if I/O error occurrs, system will remount the SD card read only. Reformat your SD card!

So I've reformated the SD Card and when instered, it is the fine (it's the same R/W status as the internal SD). But when I've restarted the Tab, there is the same problem (I can change the r/o - r/w status in root explorer).
And some folder have been renamed with a μ instead the first letter and nothing in the folder ... But this is not the first time. So I'm busy to reformat the SD card again.
I have disable Directory Bind to see if it is the problem ...Do you thing a program can do that ?
Is it possible to dissable the command line where is it written "erroos=remount-ro" ?
If yes, how do it by myself ?
Thanks
It's possible when you turning off the device the SD card locked/marked as busy by an app, system failed to safe eject your card. errors=remount-ro option made for a good reason, you can still access your card even after I/O error occurs and a lot of technical reason. My English toobad to explain
AW: [Q] ExtSdCard problem
Check if the card is physically ok. There are programs on PC that check if all bytes can be written and read again.

Possible fix - need verification
One thing I've noticed....I have a generic 32GB SD memory card and I get the Read-Only issue regularly with it. I purchased a new card which happens to be a Samsung 32GB card and it works just fine. So I tried to figure out why and I think I got it figured out.
The Samsung card size is reported as 31,430,705,152 Bytes...or 29.18GB reported by Windows.
The Generic card size is reported as 32,698,531,840 Bytes or 30.47GB reported by Windows.
So...I got the bright idea to use EaseUS Partition Master 9.2.1 to resize/reformat the memory card to the same size as the Samsung card and leave the remaining 1GB as unallocated space on the card....I think this is now working correctly.
Someone else wanna give this a try and see if it fixes the SD read only issue for them as a verification.
Format of the card is Primary partition, 0.0B before, 29982.0B for partition, and the remainder unallocated. Format as 32K size blocks.
Give it a try and report back your findings...I'm testing on a GT2 P3113 with Rooted Stock 4.1.1

That's what I did. My 32GB card was a SanDisk card; I could put stuff on it (like photos) and they would disappear. The device was getting remounted read-only, indicating that something was causing errors. I bought another SanDisk card (same size) and it's now working just fine.
That original bad card, when put into a camera, failed - some of the pictures could not be read. I returned it for refund as it's obviously bad.
If it's acting flaky, replace it.

MBR = Master Boot Record.
Can you create a new partition with partition wizard?

Of course you're right with the 4GB file limit. But for testing if your sd card still works it should be totally fine. Once the card works, you can format it to exFat in windows.

Try to use SDFormatter. Try different options. If it doesn't help, may be your beloved sd card is (physically) broken.
Fat32
I think you have to format your SD into fat32
