for some reason my G1 is no longer reading the sd card. even when hooked up to windows it is not seen. is there anyway i can update through fastboot and if so how do i go about doing that. any help would be greatly appreciated. i have search all over the forum but cant find anything to help me. im lost right now.
First of all you should choose better topics.
Try reformatting the sdcard.
ive tried that. the sd card reads fine when i put it in the computer sd reader it my g1 thats not seeing it.
Is it the origional card that came with the G1??
Have you tried using another SD card in the phone? If that doesn't work - it's possible something messed up with the reader.
Although I don't think this would do anything : You may want to try wiping the phone. Ofcourse back it all up, if you want to save your apps and data.
thanks for all the help but my g1 sd card reader is not reading ive tried 4 other sd i have and none work. but i forgot i did a nandroid back up like a month ago, just totally forgot so i got the .img files i needed im going to fastboot those and see what happens.
well that didnt work but i feel so dumb now because i have been racking my brain and pming people to get help and nothing worked. then all of a sudden i though, why dont i just do a back up of my girls phone and flash all the files to my phone. and of course that worked. once again thanks for all the help. and if anyone out there havent done a back up i strongly suggest you do.

Hi, i looked in other forums but couldn't find the answer to this. If I got a new SD card, what is the process to change cards?
I formatted the new one and copied all the stuff from the old one to the new one. Booted, blank screen/wouldn't boot.
Do I need to format, Download a ROM to it, flash it, then boot or what?
Thanks in advance.
I think you would have to partition it and then put whatever rom and reflash everything
A blank screen..? The hell, that's weird. From my knowledge, it should still work with a bunch of FC's and Errors. And no you don't have to reflash everything like KingSkeme recommended, but you may have to since your device is acting a bit weird.
But yeah, first of all you need to format it. Second, you need to search this yourself. I find it bullcrap that people like you can't find this info yourself.
Here, I spent about 2 minutes of my life for you.

If you can't follow those steps, then you shouldn't have rooted your phone.
P.s depending on which Rom you use, I believe CM automatically does the ext/swaps for your SD card.
If not, oh I found more information with my friend google

How to switch to a different SD card
EDIT: Sorry, double post.
Ok so I went on a trip to Red River and before going on the trip I flashed the most up to date NRG rom for the Raph VIA my Polaroid 16g MicroSDHC card without issues. I did happen to put a lot of movies I ripped from my own DVD's and some music from CD's I had lying around because I need media to get through long driving trips but when I got back from the trip and tried to update the Rom to the latest rom via SD card I am now getting No Image found just as if there was no RAPHIMG.nbh file in the root directory.
What I've tried:
Reformatting again to FAT32
Removing the card and putting it back in
Moving all the files off the card and just having the NBH file there
Making sure the NBH file's properties aren't read only or system or archive or whatever via properties in Total Commander
Defragging / scandisking / etc via Pocket Mechanic, even tried recovering what I thought may be bad sectors...
I have another card but it has never worked even with the above steps taken on that card so I'm thinking possibly somewhere along the line's I've corrupted my card. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I hate that I paid for this card knowing the only reason I really wanted the card was to be able to flash via SD card on the fly because my old 2g never allowed it no matter what I did.
Any pro tips on this one?
Try this...
Hate to make you install a program... but see if this helps you reformat the drive correctly, this has a FULL PARTITION program that will allow you to hit ALL the sectors... FDISK full if you will...
Here is the link:

This has worked for me before. Hope it works for you.
Still saying No Image Found but I appreciate the assistance xD
I think your hosed; not sure why, but that's just how it sounds. The only thing I'd suggest is doing a hard reset, if you haven't already.
Seen this before
I had a similar problem upgrading to the TAEL ROM.
First off, you need to go here and read: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Note: *FLASH HARDSPL BEFORE FLASHING ANY CUSTOM ROMS*
Then make sure your RAPHIMG.nbh file is named correctly, i've seen people change the name in the File Explorer on their device, and it looks like this "RAPHIMG.nbh.nbh"
Yea did all that Radar.
Farmer Ted I'm going to lean towards agreeing with you because this is the same behavior with my old 2g microSDHC card no matter what I did I couldn't flash with it.
Thanks for the help guys.
So, there I was happily running Sense 3 Pr4 and Dream Kernel 2.0.3 with the MR2.5, decide to reboot my phone before bed to let it charge at a decent rate, starts just booting over and over. Hits lockscreen, freeze, reboot. Annoyed I figure, ok, I'll go flash the kernel again, flashes pretty instantly, odd, but whatever, reboot... loops. So fine, I'll do a full recovery.... no recovery files... ok, I'll wipe data etc and install my rom zip off the card... [bad]. WTF? put the sd card in my laptop, all the folders are on my sd card, but noooo files, and the couple files that are left are 0kb, what the hell happened to all my stuff? any advice or help? Pretty please? got a recovery software, gonna see what I can salvage, but what happened here?!
i dont think that i have heard of this before. not with phones at least. sounds like ur card got formatted or something. u should be able to reformat the card and install all the roms, file system, etc u need from ur computer. it might be worth it to try to put some stuff on the card from ur computer to see if it will take. maybe a bad card ??? im not sure there is a complete reformat type of recovery out there. good luck.
Yep, I swear it has something to do with the modded USB Mount apk. I have heard of this happening a few times now.
I try to keep a backup of my SD on my lappy.

Never really thought of this happening, definitely gonna be backing up from now on. Got back some pics, but lost camera videos of the kids, unrecoverable.
Hey guys hoping you can help me out here.
Let me just start by stating that I'm not really a tech savvy guy.
Okay, so here's my story. I found an old SD card with a bunch of stuff on it and decided to plug it into my phone. I was on CWR, and decided to format the SD card, I figured that would remove all of its content. Again, I stress I'm not tech savvy, however I figured its just and SD card and I could always resort to get another one if this one broke.
Anyway, if your still reading, I guess CWR didn't register the new SD card and instead reformatted my internal memory. (If that's the correct term).
Do I have any chance of getting the files back so it could at least boot?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for being stupid.
Download your rom of choice put it on your sd card and and reflash through cwm unless you have titanium backup on your other sd you will probably have to redownload your stuff

You likely wiped the data/did a factory reset. Grab a ROM, toss it on your sd card and flash it, it won't get your apps back, you'll have to reinstall them.
If you want to use the stock ROM go here. Otherwise, pick a custom ROM and run with it.

Thanks so much guys!
Minor update I'm no longer really needing a solution to this problem although it would be very helpful for everyone if one was found as I'm sure this has been a problem too many people at this point)
I'm over here trying to root my S6 Lite tablet without a computer just a bloody cell phone and I am oh so close but I have no way of reformatting this SD card cuz xxxxx Android wants to put it as FAT32 for god knows what reason it's an 8 gig SD card and I've even tried reformatting it in both devices I have same result Android just being stupid and I am at the end of my rope here cuz I have not been able to find any apps once so ever that actually allow me to reformat an SD card with a format of my choosing or at least one that's usable
Now please tell me that someone on this xxxxx website has a solution to this problem because once again the weird stuff I'm doing has led me down a path no one else has seemingly took
(And if anyone's asking why I'm rooting this tablet it's because Android 12 works like crap)
Mod Edit: Some content removed.
I am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place as I have not been able to figure out any method of formatting this SD card with something usable because Android is for some unknown reason only formatting it with FAT32 despite using two different devices to attempt to format it normally and I have not been able to find a single application that exists that does not require root permissions that would allow me to change the format of the SD card I have legitimately spent like three or four hours now trying to figure something out and have come up with nothing please someone here help
I'm just going to add this year that I obviously don't have access to a computer or this wouldn't be a problem
Root your phone and use twrp to change filesystem.
But in your case when you don't want to root. Unplug SD card and connect with adapter to your pc.
Go to this computer and right click on the SD card
Click format And select filesystem
Quick format is fine
Format and when finished
Put SD card back.
Done

Both of those are a problem because I don't have a computer to use and I am trying to root my tablet and the only other device I have is an a20 cell phone that's not rooted either and I am so close but I can't Flash the modded firmware because Android is formatting the SD card with xxxx FAT32 so besides this SD card the only other option I have is to attempt to do the flash over wireless ADB I mean seriously if I had a bloody computer I would have been done like 3 days ago

That's a scam app that I kept running into if I recall it didn't even boot although it's hard to tell cuz I tried a couple that look pretty much identical to that so once again something that's completely useless I came here cuz I was hoping somebody would have an actual solution not the same garbage I kept running into trying to Google my way through this
it's an actual solution youre just being silly.

It's not or I would have found it by now I've tried everything you can find easily on Google and the Play Store absolutely nothing has worked or been anywhere near what I'm looking for besides a couple of apps that require root permissions I was coming here hoping that somebody would have an actual tool for this application not someone giving me the same
trash that google did, now I do appreciate you attempting to help but I need somebody here that is a lot more knowledgeable than you

Normally a person would update the result and from there we look for another solution. Goodluck finding someone knowledgeable lol, if you weren't such a special one I would have suggested something more advanced
