I'm wanting to flash this G1 i just bought back to the stock rom. I googled and found links of what I need to do, but the problem I'm having is that the G1 says there is no SD card in when there is. I took the SD card out and put it into a card reader to format, but that still didn't work. Anyone know how to get this phone to read the SD card, or know how to flash the phone without using the SD card??
Right now in the about screen is says:
Firmware Version: 2.1 -Update 1
Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Kernal Version: 2.6.33.3-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-5.0.7-DS-test2
try reformatting the card
I tried that. Didn't work.
try this

it should let you flash roms without an sdcard, i would stick with cyanogen since his doesnt us ext3 or 4 for the apps
I've flashed the HC 3.1 using CWM
I've flashed the Wifi_RootTool_3.1.zip
But somehow can't find the sdcard - slashmntslashsdcard still points to the internal memory.
Xoom Setting - Storage setting still only shows "Internal storage"
My setup is : android version 3.1
Kernel version 2.6.36.3-gc2bee64 android build atapa23
Build number HMJ37
Xoom model : Wifi
anybody can help ?

Rooting and/or updating to 3.1 does NOT get you a working SD card.
You will have to install a kernel (Tiamat 1.4.4) + a new boot image.
To avoid serious issues I suggest you thoroughly READ the instructions for installing the Kernel and the boot image.
Double check to ensure you are using the right kernel/boot image for your xoom (3g or not, etc). Flashing the wrong thing in the wrong place can brick your xoom.
Note that an .img file is NOT the same as a .zip file. Check your work before you press [Enter].
Good Luck.

Also once you do have the right files, the /sdcard will still be the internal memory. You will find the external memory card in /sdcard/external.
Thanks bwcorvus, the only thing I missed was were to look for the external sd card!

Ok I loaded a new boot image and loaded the Tiamat 1.4.4 following the Tiamat instructions
My kernel is now 2.6.36.4 Tiamat_Xoom-v1.4.4-Full_Throttle
However still no joy to access the SD Card. /sdcard/external remains empty when i open it with rootexplorer. It should have the Tiamat kernal zip and wifi_light_ON_Speed.zip on it because these are the files i put onto the sd card and flashed it with CMW.
Any idea what i did wrong ?

After you flash the kernal, you have to restart xoom again for it to read sd card at startup. T least when I did it I had to restart the device one more time.
ok it looks like a SD Card Problem compatibility problem.
I'm using a imation 32 GB card (i-Express 2 microSDHC) class 10
I tried a SD card 8GB from my HTC HD2 and it works.
Strange that I can do the kernal and boot image flash from the card but not read it later. The SD Card also works on my HD2
Live is a mystery

Try formatting the card in your hd2.

update on my issue.
I found another thread with someone having a similar problem he used
Panasonic SD Formatter to reformat the SD Card. It resolved his
problem and indeed my problem. After reformatting it with the SD Formater 3.0
the memory card was finally recognised.
I did a erase and rewrite - takes an hour but was worth it.
I can now report that Imation 32GB SD card Class 10 is working on a Xoom with HC 3.1 and Kernal Tiamat 1.4.4
thanks to everyone

Maybe you could edit the title of your thread to say (RESOLVED) so others with that problem can see your solution.

I recently flashed my optimus 3d to [10/06/2013]OptimusRS ICS ROM V1 by OptimusRs. But now when i start my phone, it doesn't detect my sd card, it says that it's blank or in another format. So I tap on the notification and format it but then it says that it's damaged. Does anyone have this problem? how do you fix this problem?
Thank you for the help
Edit: Solved, you need to erase the internal sd memory after flashing

toolkit from spyrosk
hello and good morning,
I spend the last two weeks with reading and learning here at XDA (great forum), so yes I tried to solve my problems myself but now I could need some help, please.
my internal sd seems to be unmountable. after flashing and fixing the internal sd with the great toolkit from spyrosk (thanks for that)everything works just fine but no internal sd. I flashed several times and went over this process over and over again but ... same result.
I also used the IntSD-MountFix.zip but still nothing.
system memory - 1.94 GB
internal storage - 9.96 MB :crying:
I hope that I did not brake any rules here (since there are many) if so, I am sorry I did not know it better.
Please help cause I like my cell
