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.
I flashed to the newest build and now nothing shows up in my storage card....on the phone and through device center. I tried reverting back to the previous build, but still nothing is there. When I plug it in to device center, the storage card is recognized and it says that it does have memory used on it, but there are no files to be seen in the explorer on the phone and on the device center. Any help please?

anytime you flash, you are suppose to remove the sd card cause it wipes out everything on the phone and card, sorry to say but your stuff you had on your sd card is gone.
Out of everytime I have flashed roms on a phone, this has never happened. The thing is that the sd card still says it's half full which shows me there is still data, but I just can't see it.

Ive never seen that flashing deletes files on sd, too and i flashed a lot of times, always with sd- and sim card in the TP.... Try to rescue data on the card with Norton Utilities ... i ve had good experiece with sd cards from a camera that i could save the data on it. Did you try progs like pocket mechanic?

I tried some of those tools and other recovery tools as well and nothing. Anyone else have anymore information on this?
I think you get the disappearing card when you have mis-matching FAT tables (it's happened to me before). I suspect that you had a growing problem and that the flash was just a coincidence and not the cause. You should try the demo version of Wizcode Scandisk and see if it can fix the issue. The also have a data recovery app, but that could be more trouble than it's worth (I think it recovers files but not file names-sounds like hell to me, lol).
Thanks, I'll give it a shot and if that doesn't work then I guess I will just format it
Hello I have been trying to use Android on Rhodium (Touch Pro 2, Tilt 2) Updated Build from the website. Project Android Rebuild: (I cant link to the site)
Here's my issue. I was installing the CAB file for Reference Build: Stock 2.2 Froyo
Now everything was working to a point. I would install it and I would have all the features and so forth, but I was stuck in airplane mode. After doing some digging on the site, I seen if I took out the SIM card I would catch my carrier (sprint). Everything was working fine. I was stoked. Then I ran out of program memory.. I found this odd as it was already on my memory card. I read that I had to use a program to move programs tot he sdcard inside android. seemed it was a little to late and once I downloaded a program to do it it corrupted some of the files which then I had to format my memory card.. Back to the drawing board.
So now it seems as the phone or the memory card isn't routed any more.. This is driving me insane. I still have the SIM card out. Would that be the issue why it isn't finding the SDCARD? I even had a backed up folder of where everything worked. I threw it on the SDCARD to see if I can trick the system some how, and to no avail the SDCARD wasnt coming up in the system options.. I am so stuck and cant figure it out.. If there is a alternitive way to do this please let me know, I find the CAB way to be the easiest as I never flashed a ROM before. Thanks in advance and thank you all for this great community!

Hey guys, there is a strange issue that I found out about just today.
My Co-Ed has a Sensation with official ICS update on it - no root, no hacked apps, nothing related to unofficial.
So the problem is that almost every pic she has on her device and every tracks is beign displayed twice in the gallery and the stock music player.
The file manager doesn't show two of the same files, so maybe it's a problem with SD card. The thing is - if she deletes one track - both of the displayed ones dissappear.
Whay could be the problem and how can it be solved? Should she change hee SD card, reinstall the ROM or try a factory reset? Hope you can help me (and her)

one suggestion is backup everything from the sdcard to a pc and format the sdcard
then put everything again on it

Thanks, we'll try that. Any other suggestions on how to fix this bug?
It only appeared recently, probably because the internal storage/SD card is almost full and there's no space left, or am I wrong?
/bump
When you format your SD card it will erase everything on it so you can restore from computer only what you want restored. So essentially you start with a new fresh card. Or if you want more space buy another SD with more space transfer what you saved on computer and do it that way. Best wishes. FYI Amazon has 64 class 10 on sale pretty cheap. I got one. It works perfectly! You have to format through recovery first to get device to recognise it. You do this by putting card in slot, pulling battery, put battery back in, press volume power at same time, boot into boot loader, press recovery, power for yes, then in recovery press format SD card. You have to get in recovery like this because UN formatted SD will prevent the usual way. Once formatted you're good to go. Device will then detect the card perfectly. It's been running perfectly in mine ever since. I got a great deal on the San disk. Take a look you will be surprised how cheap the 64 class 10 is. Also I tested the SD and yes it's truly the class 10.running exactly as it should. Hope this helps you out. Best wishes

Hello, i'm writing this hoping that you can help me. I have installed Slim-4.4.3 but have some problem:
Is that i don't have a SD card and can't figure out how to change de default path of camera (i have installed several the last one is Cymera wich i could set to internal but not a specific path ans syas "Storage is full" but i have 5 gb of free space) to the internal storage, and no, buying a SD is not a good option in this country.
I have used Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.3.build.5.8-60 and Slim-edison-4.4.3.build.5.8-UNOFFICIAL-20140610-1535
and put it in System 1

Try JB+ Camera , there's an storagepath option
I realllllly mess up this time, well i enter Recovery mode (with bmm) and format everything (i was crazy) then in only boot till the 4 options(pressing volume keys + power button Normal boot,Revocery,AP fastboot and BosstTool) and someone burrow me an SD to flash it, but it turns out that give me the error of signature(in update from external, that is in recovery mode) then i learn that i have to use Rsd lite, i download everything, but the phone goes off so i put it to wall charge and i woke and is like nothig (the moto logo goes and keep in that way) i try to conect it to the pc and it shut down, also chargin from pc gives the white led, after 15min the logo appear, and goes black screen, but when i press the power+volume it shut down and it goes only to the white led, should i wait more with pc charging right? im impatient jeje.
It is possible since i format everything the part of charging also i mess it? So that's why it won't charge? If that so what can i do? The only solution i figure it's to find someone with my phone and change battery to flash and see if that works, but again Venezuela it's not a place were it's easy to find solutions, in this case someone with the same model
Thats FXZ rigth?
@KPatrix thanks but before i mess it everything i download an app to view my storage and it turns out that internal storage(something for apps right?) appears not phone storage(i was reading and this is were user files go), so i figure that somehow i was needing to create phone storage and all i could found in google were post related to unistall and that kind of stuff so didn't work to me. In this point i was able to find a solution?

What a mess ...
If it's not convenient for you to get a fully charged battery，can you buy a multi-purpose battery charger in your country? We can buy it everywhere and it's very very cheap!
After that, you can start your steps:
1.flash stock ICS rom
（2.get root
3.install BMM
4.wipe data &cache &DalvikCache &battery status
5.install a Rom zip you like）
You can only do Step1 if you want to use ICS, which is far more stable than unoffical ROMs -few bugs. I think a stable OS is quite necessary for you as your surroundings.
Before you flash, read a guide，follow it strictly.
And, good luck to you!
@KPatrix thanks for that quick response! I use to have stock but i founded lagy and the moved to JB the leaked version and also founded laggy (i guess that was because all the chinesse/motorola blootware) i recover my phone hurray! Again i try with Slimkat and the same result says i have 5gb of free memory but only to apps :S so while i'm writing this i'm downloading liquid-Kit-Kat but i found a video,althought i'm goin to put it in System 1 i'm not planning to add more rom, and starting to think that it needs something more to put it right isn't?
Also forgot to mention the way i have fixed the battery problem was mutilating ans usb cable, and don't come to Venezuela, i've try searching a more easy option to fix and the answers were: "No hay" (There's not) or waaaaaay to expensive
It's again in SlimKat, i've try liquid and still have the same error! Anyone can help to use the internal storage not only apps, i like to save pictures/videos, and it's a problem probably with the roms, so that could be kikat? Please i don't want to use JB or ICS

Glad to see you've solved your other problems.:thumbup:
Unfortunately, this is one that you can't. That data partition that is not the same as having an internal SD card. It only stores apps, app data, etc.
That mean that is not possible to use Internal storage to save images after flashing with a custom rom? Or if i put it in another partition leaving the stock on SYstem 1 will work?
I give up, really, i put SlimKat on System 3 and still can't save images :S, but the main System can (ICS stock). So if there are not posibles solutions that doesn't imply buying something i'm done, thanks anyway for the answers, i will keep visiting this for a posible solution

Maybe your Atrix 2 is different from mine (AT&T) because the internal storage on mine is for apps and app data only. It won't save pictures, music videos, etc to that storage space. An external SD card is required for that.
Probably, mine is not an At&T version and i can use the remaining 4gb or to store apps and music but that only happens in ICS stock, on Slimkat unfortunatley i can't i will leave for a week or so to see if a i can't find a solution.
SOmethin that i forgot to mention on BMM says "unable to mount /int" it has something to do with my problem, then i flash it to stock->root->bmm and stil have the error :S, but it has something to do with that isn't?
Do i need a sd card on my (At&t) Atrix 2 to flash a rom. Im rooted but waiting for a sd card to come in. Can i just flash then insert the card afterwards.

If you have no SD card, where are you going to put the ROM zip that you intend to flash? The AT&T models definitely don't have an internal SD card so, unfortunately, you'll have to wait.

I'm not sure about that error. Try this (if possible both on stock and on custom ROMs) to look for your internal storage. Using a root enabled file explorer, go to the root of your device and look through the folders. There are a few places you're likely to find it. Could be one of the following, among other names.
/sdcard
/mnt/storage/sdcard
/storage/sdcard
/sdcard0
/mnt/storage/sdcard0
/storage/sdcard0
Also if it has both sdcard0 and sdcard1, then those will be your internal and external SD cards. Internal being the "0" and external being the "1". If it shows both then whichever your model is must have an internal SD card, and I will have learned something new. :sly:
I have /sdcard on stock and can access it appear whatssap,downloads,music etc... on the rom nothing appear and they have the iqual permissions.
I have to say that i'm going to debt to buy an SD of 8gb, in the next few weeks (this country is like this unfortunatly) but the doubt is interesting isn't? So thanks anyway!
Will slimkat go on my at&t a2 or do us at&t owners have to stick to certain roms?
