==========================================================
I'll try to explain when and how the FAT32 partition is corrupted.
At least, the problem occurs with these custom roms version I tested:
[Froyo Sense] LeeDrOiD Mod V1.8 (07/08 l Official HTC 2.2 l Fast l Stable! l A++)
[Rom](05/08/10) Alex-V 1.1 OTA Froyo Sense based on Paul (modaco) only added App2sd+
[ROM] Official 2.2, with: busybox, old A2SD+, OpenVPN (TUN), EXT4 support, 802.11N
[ROM] CyanogenMod-6 for Desire V6.0.0-RC2 (08/15/2010) with [Script][A2SD] Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5 RC3 (08/16/2010)
[ROM][16/08] ?.NexTSense v5.3 Official Sense-FroYo 2.2 ·(720p|2.09|AP2SD+|Multilangu)
[ROM] Froyo-Official - Pinky Desire Lite v0.2 - ODEXED without A2SD+ Problems
Situation:
FAT32 + EXT2/EXT3 partition
A2SD or A2SD+ activated (as comes with these roms)
Clean FAT32 partition
The following steps explain how to see the beggining of the corruption.
1) Power on the phone disconnected from the PC
2) Take a photo. The photo is saved in SD in the folder DCIM\100MEDIA
3) Connect the phone to PC and select "Disk Drive"
3.1) Test the disk with Windows.
4) Open the folder DCIM\100MEDIA and you will see the photo taken. This is GOOD.
5) Close the windows explorer and now select in the phone "Charge Only"
6) Take a new photo. The new photo is saved in SD in the folder DCIM\100MEDIA (in theory)
7) To ensure, see the photo in the phone.
8) Connect again the phone to PC and select "Disk Drive"
8.1) Test the disk with Windows.
9) Open the folder DCIM\100MEDIA and you will NOT see the photo taken because windows fixed the file system. You will see only the previous one. This is VERY BAD.
10) Close the windows explorer and now select in the phone "Charge Only"
11) To ensure of this, try to see the photo in the phone. Did you find it?
If the 8.1) step is not done, the photo will be seen in the phone when select "Charge again", but if you write a file in this step instead, the SD will corrupt.
The only way I found to save the second photo in the SD is power off the phone. Try this.
Repeat the steps 1) to 7)
8) Power off the phone
9) Power on the phone and you will find the second photo.
Summarizing
All the SD recording after the first PC connection are not consolidated in the SD until the phone is off. If you connect with the PC before power off, the recordings are lost.
I wait your testings ....
well itried to cause the bug but i had another bug.....evrything went fine....the photo was found by both phone and pc before and after the 1st and 2nd disk drive mount....BUT when i tried to open the second photo taken in pc (step9) it was saying that the file or drive is corrupted etc...but it was there...then i changed to charge only and opened it with phone just fine.....
i use my rom Lambros Custom Rom r3.1 EXTREME which is based on ieftm's rom
[ROM] Official 2.2, with: busybox, old A2SD+, OpenVPN (TUN), EXT4 support, 802.11N
That is because your SD is not clean.
I did the tests with a clean SD Fat32 partition.
Try again if you can and thanks.

I have same problems.
I take many of photos and videorecord with my phone, then connect as USB Drive, and all taken files was corrupted. But when I take a look with my Desire, I can see it.
When I click to Fix corupted files, there will be delete.
How I can fix this?
I using APP2SD+ with ext3 512MB.
I lost all of my photos during an upgrade...at least I know it wasnt me lol
I saw these errors on my new low cost eBay SD cards. 16G and 32G... They kept on loosing data, never happening on the brand 4G Sundisk. they probably not really class 6. I did the same tests on a new card reader and got same results.

The problem has nothing to do with the class of the SD. The problem is A2SD.
The first connection works well but the following not.

what a great load of bollox but where exactly is your proof that apps2sd is the cause of your problem? i see no comparison with a non apps2sd rom

The problem does not occur without and EXT2/EXT3 partition and with A2SD deactivated.
In this case the second and followings connections to PC always show the photos taken.

It happens to me as well on 2.2 with A2SD.
I don't remember seeing the FAT32 partition corrupted on 2.1. Can someone test on a 2.1 with A2SD ?
Never happened to me on 2.1 + A2SD, happens now on 2.2 + A2SD both with and without Sense. What's more, Sense clock and other widgets disappear and don't work very well after you mount and unmount the USB disk.
Yes I get this too sometimes, thought it was gallery3d but turns out it is not.
Do not try to repair errors on the pc. This will delete the files. Reboot the phone and the files will be readable or appear.
I've had this problem for a while now on both defrost and open desire roms. I've reported the bug numerous times.
Hmmm...interesting finding...would like to confirm the following issue.

+1 happened to me. is this issue with A2SD?
I'll try my new Kingstron card today and see.
Just want to share another finding. I am so curious whether the problem only occurs with Ext3 or Ext4. I have tried on Ext2 (even though not as bad, in fact much better). Before I used AmonRa to create a partition, and upgd to EXT3. This time I repartition them just by using Ext2 (no upgrade). Seem like that weird issue still exist, for example when you take the new photo, and then switch to disk drive, the windows explorer wont see the picture you created. Switching back to charge, you can still see the picture with your phone. However once you rebooted your phone, the windows explorer will finally see the files. At least this way it's not that bad, you dont get the corrupted files. You just cant see the new created pictures until your next reboot.
PS: Could it be something with journal features of both Ext3 or 4??

I can do the exact same thing with ext3 (on OpenDesire 3.0.5)
By the way, I've seen someone on modaco reporting this happens on his rooted stock rom without a2SD partition
Well... it's strange. Only the first photo I've taken is visible after connecting to PC. But all photos are visible when I browse the card with some file explorer on the phone. All open perfectly fine with no errors. Maybe system just somehow caches the folder status (i don't say that it's working correctly)?

That was my impression (File allocation table ??)
So, what rom should i use ? I use Khal V4 but it not so stable, it some time crack and some time can't not boot and it even sometime can't reconigize my SD card .
I just need a rom that stable and fast and can play game good. Any advise for me?
Thank you.
Don't know what to tell you. Khal's steel epic blue V4 is completely stable for me. Everything is fast and I don't get crashes... Even the camera app which used to jam up constantly and sometimes force me to do a battery pull after 3 pictures doesn't happen anymore (just fired off 10 shots in a row with no issues at all -though kind of slow rendering time sometimes).
You can try Dexter's 1.3 with Mioa7ae's patch, but I don't see why you should have any issues with Khal's rom.
I am using the Epic Blue also and after the first few days of tweaking, it runs stable and haven't had any real problems. The first few days were really hard and frustating to get everything running well and together.
I am using Full Fat32 with a 513swap and native froyo app2sd (with move2sd enabler) and this SD Speed Increase which ups that cache settings of your SD card through /System. Have to wipe Dalvik evey once in awhile but all-in-all faster than 2.1 and way more stable that Personared was. Could flash Galaxyxt4 though. Kept getting Md5 checksum error.
Good luck

It seems to be very common for the SD card to cause trouble.
I think I would look into fixing your SD card. First try copying all the files off and reformatting it and copying them back. I recommend doing this after removing the card from the phone and inserting it directly into a computer. (If you're using the ext2/3 or swap partition you could get rid of them and reformat the entire card as fat). If you're still having problems, maybe your card has gone physically bad.
I am unable to see the content of internal and external sd card on cm9 and on remICS.
photos and videos can be seen through gallary but whenever I try to browse files via any file explorer it show 'directory is empty' message...
i tried clean installation XXKPQ -> CF- ROOT -> remICS many times since the problem persists...
please tell me some solution as i really want use these roms on my phone
In both CM9 and RemICS, by default Ext SD is under /emmc and int sd is under /sdcard.
If you want to swap - you can do it through settings. I believe you are searching it under /external-sd?
problem solved !!!!!
yes i was looking under /external-sd..
thanks a lot !!!
now i can use this super smooth rom for daily use..
Hey guys, I rooted my phone from one the guides on this site.
HTC Wildfire
2.3.7
13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25
Kernel 2.6.35.14-nFinity [email protected] #1
CM7.1.0.1-buzz
Since rooting it I've had the niggly problem of everytime I boot up my phone I get force closes for my launcher and sometimes a complete phone freeze causing me to remove my battery to undo it. At first I thought it was just ADW Launcher so I installed Zeam which seemed to stop the force closing (most of the time). The problem came back after a few months I noticed becoming more and more commonplace.
I notice on my bootloader the second .img cannot be found and I'm not sure what part that plays in this matter.
So I started a trial and error to see if I could locate the cause of the crashing. I found that when I removed my SD card my phone booted perfectly with no troubles so I formatted it thinking it must be a bad checksum only to have the problem return.
My SD card is a sandisk 2gig bog standard with the phone. I didn't partition an EXT onto it and I formatted it with the FAT system from my Windows XP sp3.
Please help, I love this phone too much lol
Also I can't get the TV off animation to work, if anyne has a zip file that works I would greatly appreciate it
I installed a stock rom the latest one not jelly bean the ICE one. I installed the kernel blameitonsamsung v4. Everything works great except my gallery any suggestions. Thank You
Ok I can't figure this out I unrooted the tablet restored stock and I'm still getting gallery message. I formatted the sd card same error message. "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY DELETE SOME ITEMS" What can I do to fix this my wife uses this for her job and a big part of it is looking at pictures now I can't even access gallery not from the icon are in the camera. I've tried uninstalling, I've tried freezing it, Is there an APK I can use to restore this one. Please let me know I need to get this up and running asap thank you.
You didn't flash CleanRom, did you? It's known for corrupting internal storage. Try going into CWM and reformatting internal storage. (in mounts & storage) You will lose everything on the internal storage, so back up anything you want to keep.
