[Q] Format SD with FAT32, MAC

Hi,
i have a MacBook Pro and tried to format my SD card with FAT32. I used the tool in utilities, and the SD shows it have been formated with FAT32. The issue is that my HD2 cant locate it. it just says "Could´t locate SD card"
Any MAC users out there that have similar issues? Im on OS X 10.6.4.

idea
Install Device Status and use its format.cpl (settings - system) to format it
*whistle*

Thanks! Good to know I solved it by letting a buddy at work with a Legend format it for me

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.
Terry

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 ?
hj

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.

Trouble with SD Card

Hello!
I have problems with the sd card (16gb, calss 4) and ICS Roms. Under most ICS Roms (Android Revo, InsertCoin, Leedroid,...) my SD card wont be recognized. Under Gigerbread i had no problems with the same card. The recovery recognized the card also without any problem. Only HyperNonSense ICS recogniced my SD Card without any problem.
Please help me... -.-

General SD card problems
If your getting general slow SD card, issues with content on there being read, backup the importent stuff like photos etc and format SD card, seems the old android files on SD card may be messing things up. thanks orihuri for the tip.
If this didnt help and your still having prolems with slow SD card speeds download sd booster from the market and set the cache to 3000+ thanks to lws803 for the tip.

[Q] 64gb Micro SD Card?

Hi guys, i have a 64GB Micro SD and i can't seem to get it to work with my device, Im running the CM10.1 Jelly Bean ROM and when i put the MicroSD Card in it said there is no external storage available.. Is there any tweak i can apply to get it to work or does the hardware just not support cards that size?
Thanks,
Dan.

ROM erasing issue

I have Bumblebee 3.0 installed on my A110 currently and I've been facing certain issues with my SD card. (My camera would not click pics, because my SD was apparently full.) So, I figured.. Why not flash the SD card from 'storage' in android settings.
I want to install another ROM. Now I have a blank SD card and whenever I try to factory reset and wipe dalvik cache it shows me an error. It is not even allowing me to install another ROM. Although bumblebee's working fine now, I wish to change my ROM.
Any possible solutions?

i think you have a corrupt file in your sd card so fix it first
try to connect your phone to computer and see if it can recognize your msdc. if yes backup and reformat use sdformatter. if no take out your msdc and use card reader.
always backup files and use minipatition tool to recover data before reformatting
just trying to help i hope this works.
