[Q] need help formatting SD card. The hard way... - General Questions and Answers

some info first:
- have a Samsung B7610, also known as Omnia. Custom ROM on it, don't know a name or something anymore due to the fact I flashed it on a long time ago. OS is Windows Mobile 6.5.
- in the Samsung a micro-sd card of 8 Gb
- and a Asus TF101, more know as the Transformer
- for those interested: laptop is a HP 6730b. Came with Vista, installed W7 Ultimate 64-bit on it.
A while ago I lost the connection cable of my Samsung Omnia, and since the price for such a stupid cable is €5 or €6, I still don't have a new cable. (Dutchman eh )
Now I want to root my Transformer, described at AndroidRoot.mobi, but you need to have a SD-card plugged in the Transformer. Thing is, the Transformer doesn't pick up the SD-card. I tried formatting the SD-card in the Omnia, but that also doesn't work. My laptop doesn't have a micro-sd slot, so Im currently a bit out of options.
My laptop also doesn't recognize the sd-card while it is in the Transformer.
Im currently on vacation, and I really don't have a clue where I could buy a connection cable for my Omnia.
The SD-card works in the Omnia btw.
It's a complete book I typed, but it comes down to one question: anybody has an idea how I could format the sd card? (a)

16GB Micro SDHC Card Problem

Ok I have an 8GB card for my Tilt but i just bought a 16GB card and I want to transfer my files from the 8gig to the 16gig. The problem is my pc (HP a230n) can't read either one of the cards. I know that it's because they are SDHC cards but I can't seem to find anything online that'll give my pc the capability to read them. Can anyone help me out?
how are you putting the cards into the pc
via a reader and adapter or maybe using the phones mass storage utility??
please enlighten us
The card came with an adapter so that's what I'm trying to use.
try using the phone as the reader u should get a pop up asking if you want to use as a usb mass storage device
hopefully the pc with then pickup the card
also try using on a different pc with both the adapter and the phones usb utility
I've done it that way before but it's a lot slower like that. I want the cards to actually work with the pc directly. Once I'm done transfering everything to the 16gig I'm gonna have the 8gig just sitting there so I figure I'd put it to use but it's kinda hard when I have to put it in my phone to use it.
I just finished transfering all my files to the 16gig through the phone but I would still like to be able to do it directly through my pc in the future.
then try and find a ppc tool thatll format the card
we know the ppc will pick it up but not the pc
THIS little bastard did the trick perfectly. No need for a firmware update.
job well odne then

[Q] MicroSD and Mac

I received my 16gb MicroSD card today, and happily slapped it into my GTab. Question, and it appears fine on the Tablet itself, however when I then plug my Gtab into my Mac, only the built-in 16Gb are showing up to copy files. Is there a solution for this?

This is normal, the USB port mounting paradigm for the GTAB is only set to read the internal SDCard. With the CM7 Experimental ROM, I think the mounting paradigm is set to only read the external MicroSD with the USB connected, I may be wrong about that though.

[Q] TF 101 wont read micro sd anymore

AData 32gb class 4 working fine for 9mo in the tablet then all of a sudden it's not being recognized by TF101 or when I stick it in USB adapter into my computer. I would format the card if I could get a device to recognize it.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?
Does it show in the Disk Management of the Computer Management console?
If not, I am thinking it is FUBAR and needs to be tossed.

[Q] HELP Asus Vivotab RT micro sd slot

I have the Asus Vivo Tab RT and the micro sd slot just started to not read my 32gb micro sd card. It was working before and now it does not work. I tried to reset it to factory settings since I did not really have much apps or anything else in it and now it just does not work. When I plug in a flash drive the tablet reads it perfectly and it is fine and it works. I've check the Asus website for any help but I did not find any help there. Can anyone out there help me figure what I can do besides sending my tablet for a replacement or anything having to do with the manufacture?
Cheers.

[Q] Can't use OTG on Tab 7.7

Hi all, I have had a Tab 7.7 for 12 months and have been using an OTG adaptor to copy jpegs from my camera's SD card to the external SD card in my Tab. All of a sudden the whole process has stopped working. My Tab 7.7 has ICS 4.0.4. and is NOT rooted. Previously when I plug in the OTG adaptor the File Manager appears showing the folders on the SD card in the adaptor. When I plug it in now I get the message "USB mas storage removed safely" and that's it. I was thinking I might re-flash the rom but since I can't even get Odin to load on my windows 8 PC (it flashes on the pc monitor then goes off) I really can't be bothered. I went to the trouble of running Odin on a windows 7 PC at least it loaded on 7 but wouldn't acknowledge the Tab being connected. I thought I might have a driver problem, but has anyone on this site tried downloading a driver for samsung tab 7.7, it's a bloody nightmare. You get all sorts of crap from checking what drivers are missing or outdated on your PC then having to by a copy for $29.95. I'm really over it. When I rooted my Mororola xoom 12 months ago and flashed ICS I had no problems at all, there wasn't a link like we have now that sends you to a site that takes 5 hours to download a tar file or you could buy a subscription and do it in 9 mins. Can anyone please offer any assistance with my problem before I toss it in the bin. Many thanks
Yeah maybe try a few different things connected to see what exactley is the problem.do you have any other usb things you could connect?

Thanks, I tried a laser mouse and the led under the mouse dosent light so I suspect the 5volt rail has gone somewhere. I'll pull the back off and check connector. I will post outcome.
Have you tried a different sd card?

Yes sure have, 3 to be exact. I've changed my mind about looking for 5 volts on the usb connector. I'm just not going to bother trying to connect a SD card through the USB port. Life is too short to stuff around
