X10i weird issue with SD card

OK, I used xRecovery to install a custom ROM on my X10i with baseband 2.1.54 and an odd thing occured.
The fully installed ROM could not see the SD card. So, I thought that was odd and I tried another. Same problem occured so I tried another one.
Now, I can't get any ROM to recognise the SD card.
So I can take out the SD card, copy a ROM to it, and use xRecovery to install it on the phone but as soon as it boots up, then the SD card isn't recgonised.
So far I have tried Cyanogen 2.2.1 Gingerbread, MIUI and FreeX10beta 4, all to no avail. When you go to the SD card options in settings, it has them all greyed out. But xRecovery sees it no problem.
I also tried installing aROM, and then before leaving xRecovery formatting the card and then booting. Again to no avail.
Can anyone help?
Cause now, as the ROM can't see the card, PC COmpanion and SEUS won't even recover the phone because it thinks there's no SD card in it!
Help!
Thanks

I've got the same problems with every 2.2+ firmwares, while everyone says they are fine all the way. Even if I press "Mount SD Card" in Wolf's CM, nothing will happen.

Try using an app called multi mount SD to get your card mounted. I've never had that problem but have seen it brought up before.

Anyone know where I'd get a generic ROM for 2.1, baseband 2.1.54?

i had the same problem as well with 2.2 rom's thats the biggest reason why i went back to 2.1, seems like a few of us are having the same problem with the sd card really weird. hope someone can solve this. was using the stock c2 8g card that came with the phone.

i use cyanogenmod6.1.3 gingerbread v1 from rendiero2005 and i have to say. if my phone turns off after the initail reboot it kicks out the sd card and then i have to start all over again but if i dont reboot or turn off my pkone and just leave it on it works fine and i have no prob at all but the thing is some stuff need you to reboot and thats when the problem starts.

I've had this experience with Link2Sd by having a second (ext2) partition and running 2.2 and/or CM Roms.
You don't have to reformat your SD entirely, just go to this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928622&highlight=link2sd). You basically just have to change the ext2 partition into a FAT32. And if that doesn't work, then you delete that parition (the ext2 one).

I dont have that issue with Rendeiro2005's ROM at all with SD card. U shouldn't have that issue. Did ur sd card work before u put on the ROM?

Everyone in this post who is having issues with sd cards, this can be a issue with the lesser known brands. I have used my sandisk 16gb for over 3 years and in two different phones and never had an issue. Stick with sandisk.

I have similar issues. I use a 2GB kingston micro SD (hardly a lesser known brand, and used it in several nokia's and a LG Cookie.).
With the recent 2.3.3 release, i updated to 2.3.3 where the SD card just wasnt recognized. I then flashed a generic 2.3.3 with flashtools, same problem. I then flashed back to a 2.1 generic and the SD card was recognized again without any problem.
I then rooted and added xRecovery to that 2.1. And then installed wolf's prerooted 2.3.3. Again, no SD card... Also in xRecovery the SD card is not recognized. It give the following error when I try to format the SD in xRecovery (2.3.3):
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/black/mmcblk0)
(Device or resource busy)
Error mounting /sdcard/!
Skipping format...
Done.
The mount option for SD in xRecovery just doesn't work, no errors.

Did you try in recovery using ADB :
rm -r /sdcard
mkdir sdcard
chmod 777 sdcard

[Q] Cant overclock past 925 with dalingrins new OC kernel = ALL FIXED

Hey guys,
I am on CM7 i was on 7.0.2 official version. i downloaded and installed the beta update from dalingrin's so i am no on:
Cyanogenmod-7.1.0-RCO-encore-KANG
I then installed the OC kernel that i was under the impression should overclock to 1.2 but when i try to overclock in the CM7 settings, the most it will let me choose is 925. i'm wondering if i'm missing something?
i used the following zip for the kernel:
update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-052311.zip
any help would be appreciated, i would post in the actual thread but i don't have enough posts.
thanks
EDIT: All fixed, needed to download and install the eMMC version so that it would install to internal memory instead of trying to boot off the sd card.

First off, glad you posted in the right section Already ahead of the curve!
So, did you install the beta to and SD or internal memory? I assume internal memory, in which case you need to download the OC that has eMMC in the title (which is the internal memory).

The zip for OC when you have CM7 installed to eMMC (internal memory) is update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-052311.zip
OC-sd nomenclature is for those who have CM7 installed and booting off their SD card, instead of just using it for storage space.

[Q] Memory card issue after flashing 7.1.0

Hello members.
I just found a strange issue that I have started facing lately whenever I try to flash a custom ROM on my Defy.
Current stock ROM was 2.2.2
I rooted it and tried This ROM. After flashing it I realized my Proximity sensor stopped working after sometime and my memory card was out of space according to my cell though Astro and ES explorer could access it and I could play music too but my cell still said that Available memory was 0 ( It had 1GB free memory )
Then I changed the ROM to 2.3.7 posted by Quarx hoping it would solve my issue but I had same 2 issues again.
My stock ROM is working perfectly and is not showing any issues. Please tell me what do I do ?
I want to use custom ROMs real bad :3

1) after taking the nandroid backup of ur stock rom .. clear the cache from stock recovery..
2) then u come to custom recovery (via CWM) and wipe data/factory reset and than u install CM7 and flash Gapps .. then wipe cache & dalvik cache ...Reboot
i think u wont be having any problem after doing this..
Cheers

I have the sbf file of the Stock Rom so thats not an issue. I did try the steps you told me to follow but I had the same problems ! Dont know whats causing it.

[Q] Help! No SD Card

Hi all,
Sorry if the post is misplaced i have a zte v9c and havent found any place else to place the question.
The problem is i cant have access to my sd card, already tried with other cards and it allways says no sd-card.
The only way i managed to solve was restoring an older version of the rom. Im using cm7.
When i go to CW and try to mount sdcard it says no app2sd or something like that.
Cant restore the rom now without the sd card any solution like odin or any other??
Thanks in advance.

Try flashing an older version of CW
Hit THANKS if I helped you

Hi,
Sorry for my english maybe i didnt explain correctly.
How can i do it without SD, something like odin? where can i find it and a rom to apply with it..

i never had this problem and i never heard of it but try installing a previous version of cm7 to check if the sd card works like that or you can try to mount the sd card in clockwork mod recovery

Hi,
Yes thats what i want, but how? Cant place rom on sd
Thanks

since it says no app2sd i would guess you need to flash the app2sd script

thats when in clockwork recovery a choose format /sd-ext
it says:
No app2sd card partition found. Skipping format...
How can i flash with pc? no access to any storage on tablet cant do it on device.
I guess it would be like flashing with odin, a pda file or something... any such thing for ztev9?

ok i understand your problem you have no access to the SD Card but i have a solution for you mate flash a rom using windows with ADB http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ a simple google search will show lots of examples how to flash a rom directly from your pc
EDIT: i use linux and not windows prefer linux over windows any day but if you cant access the sd card use ADB Shell or Fastboot its also available on windows

Thats it.. Thanks ill give it a try.
what rom do you recomend to try this?

on my blade im using the latest cm7 kang which is built by burgerz its available in my cm7 kang development thread mate i found it stable but once wbaw starts releasing his kangs il be using his cm7 kang versions

[q] defy + problems

I have many problems with my two month old defy plus..some problems are really strange and i cant really understand if its a problem with the phone or the sd card...
i am gonna explain all of them.
1. SD card problem..the sd card causes a lot of problem ..the most affected application is swiftkey..after days of working correctly..suddenly a message pops out unable to load language packs..and the keyboard becomes unusable.on unmounting and mounting the sd card..the problem sumtyms goes..sometimes not.
2.applications go missing on their own.
3. transferring files via bluetooth is very very hard...only zip files can be transferred..and sometimes when the transfer fails..the phone has to be rebooted to start transferring again..or sd card has to unmounted and remounted
4.on switching on the phone error messages comes such as " unparseable date"..
5n deleting any folder from the mem card via file explorer..the swiftkey keyboard failes showing messages like unable to load languagepacks or failed to store dyanamic language
6 droid sail frequently fails to move apps to sd card..although my phone is rooted..error messages such as no root no usb debugging is shown..although both of them are on
7:sms back up software not working..it shows write access denied..
8 titanium pro cant be installed.it shows that memory is not available although i have 1 gb of free internal memory
and my last question..will CM9 solve these problems??????
please reply

Please inform your ROM, it may help us identify your problem.
But seems to me that your SD Card is corrupted, try inserting it on a computer and formatting it (backup your stuff first).

You could check sdcard for errors in Windows (right click on sdcard drive letter & select check for errors) . Windows will correct it automatically. This way u won't loose any data on your sdcard. Don't forget to unplug it safely in windows afterwards, otherwise it may become corrupted again.

yes i am having a lot of problems with the stock firmware...i have a question from you..can u transfer apk files directly from your laptop to your mobile via bluetooth or do you have to zip it first???in my mobile only zip files can be send via bluetooth..nothing else is accepted.

Did you find a fix about sd card problem? I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596997 but i don't know if the fix works with GB kernels. I have a 2.3.4 stock rom, and i can't write on my sdcard, i can only read it.
Do you have a high class card?

are you using a 32 gb card if yes downgrade to a lower capacity,
or you can try a class 10 card if u r using a class 4 card
or u can use ur large capacity card latter on if u upgrade ur defy plus, say after ur warranty is complete
i am not suggesting trying a new rom because ur defy is just 2 months old and gingerbread is not outdated al the apps come for it
