just as the title says... when choosing the format option in settings it does not ask what format to make it... the properties of the card simply say "Generic Hierarchy" do I really need a card reader for my PC in order to change it?

haha I've tried just about everything I can find.. the settings for formatting do not give me any choices as to what format.. it just formats it.. and TWRP will only let me make partitions.. gives me options for ext3 or ext4 whatever that is... I guess I will need to find someone with a card reader on their PC or laptop.. to get it formatted to FAT32

Can you still boot into your Rom? If so, under settings/storage you can format it and it will use fat32

Yes I am currently on my phone typing all this ... But the format option under storage settings doesn't offer fat32.... I got a card reader and formatted it to fat32. When I pop it back to my phone it changes it again

Hi,
I'm trying to root the wifes new G1.
Now I've done this before with my own and now my HTC Hero.
However when I hit power and camera I get a quick message saying 'no image file' before it goes to the rainbow screen??
I have the Dreamg.nbh on the SDcard.
I tried to root using the flashrec.apk but when I type 'SU' in terminal it says permission denied, so I'm thinking it hasn't worked, however it did install Cyanogens recovery.
Confused on how to flash the Dreamg.nbh as I can't get into bootloader.
Has the process changed for cupcake builds?
Make sure you format the SD card as FAT32
The cards normally come as FAT and when you format the default option is to format as FAT, you just need to tell what ever you use to format the card with to format as FAT32 or you will get the no image error.
I did, HOWEVER I have partitioned it in advance as EXT3 and Linux swap in preparation, could that be the issue?

Wow... happened to have the same issue being that I bought my wife a G1 today! Solved my problem... whew, this question was right on time!
That was it!!!
DON'T partition your card to save time, it costs you more...
Thanks guys.
Any options?
I format it with my windows machine and I set it to FAT32 or the EXT format.
But when I go in and try to mount it, it just tries to mount and then goes away.
Not sure what else to attempt..
i have heard of people having issues with formatting cards in windows. I don't know what the root issue is but sometimes android cant read cards formatted by windows. My suggestion would be to try and format the card in your cell phone using the format option in the storage menu (assuming you're sporting an android cell). If that doesnt work you could get a copy of Gparted Live and boot into that on your windows machine, then format again from there.

If you use this software app to format your microsd card, there should be no issue using it in android:

The reason I'm asking is mine is showing vFat and I know thats an old out of date format. I dont really have anything on there I need so I was going to use TWRP to reformat it. I just didnt know which exfat to use...exfat3 or exfat4. I know the internal storage is exfat4 with all of these KK Roms. I didnt know if it would cause any problems to make it match the internal storage formatting.

So i had this sd card ( micro ) and i tried formating it knowing everything that i once had on it was useless and might as well you know and at the time it was exFAT and formated it again then i put it into my lg g3 and sd sd card is blank or file system is corrupt format sd card so i was like lulz ok den. So i proceed to do so although the error would come back right once it formatted and it was a cycle. So i decided to plug it into my computer and see whats happening so i open the micro sd card in windows explorer and said i needed to format the drive for it to work so now when i try i get a msg saying windows was unable to complete the format . and in dis manager it shows as file system raw and partition healthy and basically i cant use it any more help ??

Of course you're right with the 4GB file limit. But for testing if your sd card still works it should be totally fine. Once the card works, you can format it to exFat in windows.

Try to use SDFormatter. Try different options. If it doesn't help, may be your beloved sd card is (physically) broken.
Fat32
I think you have to format your SD into fat32
After formatting sd card. No data is deleted . Sd card is not write protected .
Not corrupted and after formatting Data comes back . I have tried all the cmd basic commands. But nothing happened.

Even any third party software like Paragon partition manager cannot delete it's partition
You can't use a BYJU SD-card as normal SD-card. Hence trash it and buy a new one. They're not that expensive if you go for a 1Tb one

Hey! Can I Know which grade sd card you are trying to formate?
I have done it
You cannot do it with any disk partition utility (trust me i have tried them all). You have to make changes in CSD Register of your sd card.
