Ok well I removed my sd card from my G1, and when I put it back in it gives me a "Blank SD Card" notification. I tried resetting my G1, and it didnt work. So I mounted it on my laptop and now it says "Drive G is not formatted would you like to format now?." I am really not trying to lose all my data and apps, and I kno my stuff didnt get deleted, how can this b fixed?
One of two ways, in my eyes.
First try looking at paragon, it might be able to find the partitions again and hopefully repair them.
Two try a data recovery program, personally I like GetDataBack but it only works for FAT and NTFS and not EXT2 if your data and apps were on that partition.
Hmm I tried GDB and it took about an hour and what do u kno I need the licensed version to get my files off, and will Paragon work? Cuz I dont wanna waste another hour.
SD Card fix ok
just put the sd card inside the adapter that all sd card brings when you get it.ok
AND than insert it on your labtop and copy all your files to your computer and format your sd card..

As I said in the original post when I mounted it is said it needed to format, but anyway I found a program and got my files off, but I need to recover my ext2 partition which I dont think will happen

Never tried it but it might be worth a shot.

Have you tried inserting the sdcard into a computer running ubuntu? It will probably recognize the ext partition without any trouble.
Will I b able 2 use ubuntu to restore it?

I dunno, that's why I asked if you had tried it yet or not. You can always burn a Ubuntu livecd and test it without installing anything. As long as the partition table is intact it should be accessible.

I loaded up Cyanogen's latest last week, formatted my 16gb to EXT2 and Fat32... all was working great for a week, then today, my G1 went blank. Upon a restart, the SD card came up with "Blank SD Card." Viewing the card from my card reader... can't read any files... what's the program that you "found?" I'll probably just fight through reformatting and rebuilding all my files... Later I'll perform file backup when I get it right.
this sound like your problem??
Hey asaspades, something like this happened to me a while back and I could read it on my laptop/cardreader and recover my files and reformat. Obv u have tried this. The thing is the same thing has hsappened not 10 min ago lol. When this happened before I was running my g1 as stock but now I have cyanmod (3.6.8.1 I think) amd apps 2 sd on ext2 partition. I am not at a computer atm but will try to recover the same way as before though I won't be able to access the ext2 partition (will try with ubuntu, hav wubi installer on pc). Oh and I rebooted after I realised something was wrong and now have a constant preparing sd card checking for errors notification. This sound kinda similar to your problem at all? I would like to know what is causing this. Maybe I just have a bad/corrupted sdcard lol. Anyway its really pissin me off not knowing
Left 4 a while and it now says damaged sdcard you may need to reformat.
Another thread, i think i'm a totally noOb
Today, i downloaded Wildpuzzle Rom .. and flashed it ... everything went fine
I used this tutorial...
http://baert.ulyssis.be/2010/10/13/wildpuzzle-rom-for-htc-wildfire/
this was okay...but in the 4. point ... "Creating an EXT partition on the SDCard"
there was a problem ... after i selected the fat32 and ext2 size, and the phone rebooted .... i had an error message .... "E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip" ...
i've tried a lots of time...always rom manager failed to made the right partitions...
so i moved on, and i tried to made the partitions with manually in windows xp
i've downloaded Paragon Partition Manager 9.0 to do the partitioning....
After i had the 2 partition, 1500MB Fat32 and 300MB ext2, the pc rebooted to make the changes .... and then i had an error message (i can't remember, cause it dissapeared quickly).....
when xp started again i saw my sd card is not working .... windows said, "You must format the SD card" .... and it was only 512 kbyte the full size
i tried a lots of applications, which recovery, or fix sd cards, but nothing helped :/
any solution?!
i wouldn't like to throw away my sdcard if its not necesarry
thx.
lazlo
Try gparted, linux boot cd, make fat32 partition first then make ext3 partition no need for swap on phone

i have tried gparted, in ubuntu live cd, but when i insert the sd card to the reader nothnig happen ... and gparted stop working :S .. its freeze or something like that
Did you try to delete the partition and creating a new drive? Like when you buy a new disc... You have to create a new partition and a new logical drive...
You can use Paragon partition manager...
I guess gparted was loading, it take a little while to read the entire HDD.

No thx, Paragon partition manager killed my SD card ... so i won't use that app again, never...
But meanwhile, i could fix the SD card with Ubuntus's gParted ... i've tried a lots of time ... reinserted the card to the reader .... and finaly it recognised it ... and can made a valid partition ... so the problem solved
anyway, thx the idea
A very simple and quick solution to this kind of problem (for other users / future reference, now that you've solved it): put it in your photo/video camera and format it. This would do a low-level format of the SD card, allowing you to see and use it in Windows. Any camera with this function will do (Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, etc.)

thx a lot dude ... this is a simple and a good idea
never would thought this
Good one!!! It is a very simple solution. However if it works with "camera formating", then the issue with SD card is not too bad. I mean, it's not corrupted in a way to be unusable or "bricked" in some way.
And thus, I think you needn't even bother using some other gadget, just a sufficient knowledge on partitioning tools and you can make it work on your computer. I still believe it could be repaired with Paragon Partition... 've been using that program ever since and never had any problems...
Anyway, the more options avaliable, the more possibilities for a success! ;-)))
Hy every body, does some one heard about SD damaged after a FAT32/EXT4 Format?
Let me explain myself:
I've SD-FROMATTED my sd, then using GPARTED LIVE SD in my HD2 in MAGLDR
i've created two partitions:
1/ FAT32
2/ EXT4
I do have click on "apply".
Now, my SD is unreadable and unrecognized by my phone.
The oly way i have to use it now is FAT32 only.
It is the third time i do the partitioning on this SD and it's the first time it does'nt work
HEEELP!!!
I've heard about file corruption using MAGLDR USB MassStg...Is-it true
Thanks for your anwers
No answer? Nobody?
download panasonic SD Formatter 3.0 and that will sort it no probs.
matt
Try Panasonic SD Formatter as mentioned above. With the stock SD card I've had problems formatting using a card reader, however. I had to flash back to a windows mobile rom, connect to PC as a hard drive (not active sync) and re-format the card via that method. It's a pain, but try this if you're really stuck.
Thanks i'll try those methodes
i use minitool partition manager
but first go to control panes, then computer management, devices, find your sd card and right click on it. select create new disk label and that should solve your problem.
now after that run minitool partition manager and you 'll be able to see your sd car as new disk (or something) just create a new partition as (fat32, primary) format maybe that could solve your problem.
(the same thing happen to mee and i was about to cry because of it)
(sorrry for bad english, i'm still learning)
Thanks kof102. I'm on it

Also, as a long time Android recovery user (I went through several Android phones before coming around to the HD2), I would highly recommend formatting your card using Clockwork Recovery.

One problem can be that when try create a Ext partition using CWR it only creates an Ext2 which isn't really the best.
I've seen on differnt French forums that i'm not alone. Is there a Risk formatting and partitioning an SD Card, that is not done for, to damage allocation Table?
My SD is dead now. Not even my PC, my Phone or else are abble to find my SD. Have you heard about that?
No answer? No body?
try using EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition with this u will be able to see what is going on.. hope it helps.
Thanks, Have you allready heard about that befor?
I had a problem with my SD it didn't come up on my pc too,when I was playing with the dual booting partition making for wp7 and android. some how it messed up and SD didn't come up so I found this program Easeus and some how managed it to work again it was a simple problem that all I had to do is to recreate the partition and only after that u can format it. if it doesn't exist u format nothing actualy lol.
hope u have the same problem.
I've tried EASUS but it was unable to read my SD...
I think it's dead now...
I've bought an other one and part it with CWM. It's EXT2 but it work perfectly!
Maybe it could be nice to check if nobody else had the same than me...and tell it to Master COTULLA!
No body else?
Hello, i was searching these forums and couldn't find my answer. I just got a new 32gb sd card and would like to do a ext3 partition and instsall S2E. I copied orginal sd card to pc, then tried to do a 512mb, 0 swap on new sd. But for some reason rom manager gives me this triangle exclamation error picture. i really want to set up my 32gb correctly like you pro's! please explain how to set this situation up. greatly appreciated.
Is gparted the easiest way? Also should I use dt a2sd, or s2e?
"the only good bug is a dead bug"
gparted is what i recommend. Ive gotten Rom manager to work as well but a lot of people seem to run into the same problem you do when using it to partition.
And I prefer s2e for its simplicity and the fact that it persists through flashing nightlies (unless you do a full wipe). Its never given me any issues what so ever. DTa2sd works great and the only problems ive ever had with it are the getting it to initially flash. But once it installs its always worked for me. But if you're on cm7 theres no reason not to run s2e
Thank so much for replying and helping me out. Going to Google about gparted this weekend and figure it out. Again thanks for your two cents.
"the only good bug is a dead bug"
Gparted is fairly easy to do. Boot your computer into Ubuntu and connect your SD card to your USB port using a USB card reader (not your through your phone). Then just go to gparted in the application list and reformat and partition the card the way you wish.

Just remember that the first (main) partition needs to be FAT32, followed by your smaller ext partition.
Gparted is not as easy as mentioned above. If you use windows system and not familiar with linux, it's quite complicated for my pont of view.
I guess you have two choices:
1. Gparted under win (Gparted+VMwareplayer), faster reading speed
2. Partition Magic(but reading speed for sd card might be slower than solution 1), easier operation.
So I ran the CD and my 32gb shows 26gb at fat32 and 4gb unallocated? Is my 4gb lost? ok... Got that problem resolved, now a new one. ive made my main fat32 and then for some reason i get a flag on my /dev/sdc2 ext3 partition after ive selected apply.
So I was wondering is the flag icon going to be a problem? Or is this puppy ready go!!!
Found the problem.....faulty SD card!!!! This a lesson to myself. Never buy a no name SD card from ebay. I grabbed a patriot, made myself an ext3 partition using gparted. No flag popped up and installed s2e and we are good now. Thank peeps. Delete this thread if you want.
I know you solved this but just throwing this out as an FYI...
I have the same triangle/exclamatiuon problem almost whenever I do a backup/restore etc...
I found if I pull the battery, and immediately reboot into recovery manually -- by pressing vol down and power, the phone takes the previous command (like backup/restore/partition) and goes ahead with it...
Maybe Mines' a failing SD card...but I back it up regularly
Hi,
I'm using wp7 now for more than 2 months and i am quite happy. i can do everything i want to. but now i wanted to install android, so that i can dual boot both of them.
as i have only one 16gb sd card i followed the steps mentioned in the 3rd method, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 .
But Partition Wizard Home Edition only shows one partition of 200 mb. now i cant really delete the bigger one and create a new one.
maybe you can tell me what i am doing wrong and find a solution. furthermore i am not sure about the right android version i have to use, because i don't know the meaning of nand, sd , magldr...can i use this one

Hi bluffmaster26,
On my notebook card reader i also can't see partitions on my 16gb sd card. But everything is ok when i use external USB card reader. Try with such card reader.
did u try it on a different computer?sometimes windows 7 gets messed up?
if that doesnt work,try to post your mini partition screenshot,
i have a 16 gb sd card as well. working gr8
(dont forget to thanks the developers )
hey all,

thanks a lot!!
