Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my exterrnal SD card, it happened like this:
I did not have a SD card and did everything on internal memory is was on FXP 212 at that time.
But today I flashed back to stock,installed Vengeance and then Gimlo 0.3.
i noticed that the sd was not writable and I tried to format it from the phone but then the phone rebooted.
Now the phone doesnt reconize it at all, I tried removing it and restart and then putting it back and reboot but it didn't help..
CMW says it cant mount External SD....
Is my sd card dead?
Check your SD Card by putting it into another phone.
This happened to me when I swapped memory card and internal storage u need to format from a computer using card reader or using mtp if it connects

If you can access the sd via card reader, check if you can format it fat32. If you want to do vold.fstab + link2sd, partition first, then switch vold.fstab. If you want to switch rom, switch back to original vold.fstab, then flash the new zip.
Now using:
Sony Xperia tipo ST21i
stock 4.0.4

(rooted, locked bootloader)
Current problem:
Cant get past installing flash drivers in xp.

just swapped out micro sd card on my xoom rooted and custom tiamat kernal and clockwork all installed and working properly untill i swapped over sd card?
i copied all the files over so it was the exact same as the card it was replacing?
any ideas?
re flash clockwork?
re flash kernal?
any help would be great thanks
will the xoom boot without the sd card in it? or does it loop without the card in? also, did you install anything new like a bootanimation or anything just before swapping sd cards?
nope it was running perfect all i done was changed over sd cards just boot loops without card too

I think you need to unmount the external SD before removing it...try going into fastboot and running the adb commands for mounting the SD card again, they can be found in several of the guides.
Remember that your Xoom will not view the external SD card as anything but part of the memory...the /external directory to be exact. When you connect to your PC you only see the Xoom and you need to navigate to storage/extrnal....you don't get seperate explorer windows for the internal and for the external SD as you do with most phones.

So I got the 32Gb samsung Sd card. Had a 16Gb in my phone. Wife had 8Gb in her skyrocket. Took my 16Gb card, copied all data to PC, then put 32Gb in my phone. Copied all data from pc to new 32Gb card on my phone. All good. Then took wifes phone, copied all data to pc. Installed my 16Gb in her phone, erased all data. Installed all her data off pc to 16Gb card. All seems good. We both have the Skyrocket SGIII R4 on phones with CWM recovery. HER phone will recognized SD card in CWM. MY phone cant mount SD card in CWM. Why wont my phone with new SD see it in CWM? Do I need to format it through windows?
SD card works in all other aspects...connects to windows, restores from mybackup pro....Put the 16Gb back in my phone with all her data, and CWM will let me install fron SD card.
What format is the sdcard on, fat32?

Yes. I took it out of package and put in phone, says FAT32 on pc
Tried formatting thru phone and copy data back on, but same thing. CWM says cant moun E sd card...
Tried reinstalling CWM. Wont mount sd card
What CWM are you using?
Try using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613
And make sure the microsd clicks with the spring when you insert it on your phone.
Flashed that in odin, booted into recovery, chose install zip from sd, select. Then it just flash the clockword screen over and over every 3 seconds....
Went back to CWM i think 5.0.2.6. And sd card "clicks" in place.
BUT....I went to mounts and storage in CWM, and chose mount sd card. Went back to install zip from sd....and boom, theres all my zips!

Haha nice, I had a problem with the later CWM not detecting my sdcard so I went and flashed back to the old one and it worked just fine, didnt really have to remount but I guess that was needed on your end. :good:
What is different: Install apk On the SD Card not the ext_SD Card ???
Thx!
Sdcard is your internal 2gb. Ext_card is your microsd 32gb or whatever size you have. In normal unroot conditions, everything will go to the 2gb. Mod your vold.fstab, you can install to 32gb. Remember, nfs most wanted alone needs at least 1.8gb free. No hd games for you if keep installing on the 2gb. Also, .apk file is just a program like nokia s40 .jar file. But hd games download more gamedata not just the .apk.

It says:

Diferrent?
That? Its based on your current vold.fstab settings. If you use the small internal as /sdcard , install here. If you use the microsd as /sdcard , put it in the microsd. Just make sure the location is /mnt/sdcard depending on your vold.fstab.
