I got a rooted g1 with jf rc33L so I can change themes. I flashed my phone with the mod rc33 and followed the directions to get appps to sd and it was working fine. But then the phone would not read the sd card that I partitioned with fat32 1st and ext2 second. I partitioned it with umbento that I downloaded of the net cause I have windows. Now the phone will not boot nor read the sd card why. My phone is fine now cause I reformated with fat32 and re flased and now my phone is fine I'm on the jf rc33L build to change themes faster but I want to save apps to sd how? Could it have been the sd card? Does the card have to be a class or grade 6? When I umount the card to partition it in umbento did I have to remount it before closeing umbento and is that why? If anyone has directions on how to partition sd card correctly and how to get apps to sd after root please help.????? Please mail me [email protected]

Always format your SD in the device it is used in, not in a cardreader or anything alike...

I did all the steps to move apps, cache, data to my sd card for the G1 phone and everything is working good but I want to backup everything on a bigger sd card and I also noticed that even if I use a new partitioned fat32 and ext2 sd card it wont boot, can any one tell me how to backup all my sd card please thank you
Hi,
When I upgraded to a bigger card, I did this:
1-copy current sdcard to computer.
2-backup your apps with astro
3-delete all caches on phone.
4-move apps and caches back to phone.
5-format new sdcard with a ext2 partition.
6-copy sdcard data from computer to new sdcard.
7-transfer apps and caches back to sdcard.
8-reinstall all apps with astro.
You should be good to go.

I recently root my G1 back to RC29 and now I'm recd the message sd is unreadable. Format sd card is greyed out on my phone. Always I do not have the system update option. Please help!!
I would try it in a sdcard reader if the computer also have problems
then I would go to the manufacturers site to get a lowlevel format tool for that type of card
if that did not fix it I would write the card off as dead
can i use a partition program to unformat the sd card?
my phone just updated back to donut and my sd card is now being read by my phone. thanks for the suggestion

I just did a fresh install of MIUI and got themes working, but i can't get the external sd card working. I am reading you have to partition it to ext3, but if i try partitioning in Rom Manager it partitions the internal card. Any help?
Hi ,
Im usigng CM9 in my explorer. Today i tried to partion SD card via mounting it from recovery and partitioned using minitool artitions oftware after that im unable to see SD in my explorer. although it was partitioned also when i try to insert memory card it says SD card is safe is remove everytime i insert SD card , before partioning it was wokring fine...
Well get to card reader and repartiotion it again, probably you didn't make both partitions primary or something else, maybe it's some fail because you made it from recover...... There are a lot of maybe's, sure thing is to partition it with card reader.
