i have recently bought a TG01, when i got it it was running the orange WM6.1 rom, it wouldnt detect either my 4GB or 8GB micro sd cards, i had to lend a 1GB card to run the official 6.5 update, now the 4 and 8gb cards are detected but whenever i try to flash a rom i get SD Mount error after it loads the SDDL. anyone know why this would happen and if it could be due to that its been partitioned for use on a hero previously?

From the beginning we have problem with the cards. You can find more info in (http://www.modaco.com/content/toshi...m/291115/toshiba-tg01-memory-card-corruption/).
Try to format your card and start from 0.

Try to format your card and start from 0. I had this problem but don't remember with witch program I format the sd card. Wen I bought my TG01 it show me just 1GB and the card was 8GB then I find some info that you need to format y our card but I didn't find now where is this info. In the modaco web you can find more info and in google about this.
ive tried formatting it several times, the phone picks up the card fine when in winmo, i just cant flash any roms with it as the SDDL cant mount it.

To format your card use (“sdfv2000.exe”) I uploaded for you. Try it if not working I have an other solution.
Same Issue.
I have been having the same issue since day 1. Has driven me insane with program's icons that are loaded up on the sd card not showing up properly in the start menu, they always have a blank icon on them. Has really driven me crazy. Has anyone found a solution to this?
try and use sddl+ to flash the rom instead of just sddl
Already did that.

Thank you for your advice however I already tried that potential solution and many different roms and radios, I tried formatting my SD card with the Panasonic sd card format utility, but no luck. Would getting a class 10 Kingston card be a smart idea? Or maybe I need to buy a slower Transflash card? I have a 4GB Class 6 from SanDisk but the same error occurs. Do I and the other people have defective phones, or is this an issue that can be solved? What should I do?

I've never had a problem with SD Card. Now I bought a 16GB Kingston Class 10. I have no problem with the card, work properly.
Getting a class 10.
Tell ya what, I will get the class 10 cuz more space is always good, I will let everyone know if it has solved the problem. Before I do this, I am just going to buy an el-cheapo class nothing sd card and see if the same problem occurs and then I will have tested the range so to speak. I will report anything interesting.

Hi,
I searched around but can't seem to find any help with why I can't flash ROMs from 32GB cards. I've tried it with a class 4 Topram card then after I returned it I tried again with a class 2 Sandisk . Everytime I load the bootscreen for it to search the root of the card for leoimg the screen just flashes and continues to bootscreen without finding the ROm file.

May I suggest you try a maximum size of 4GB microSD card and format it with FAT32.
I honestly couldn't reproduce the threads right now, but I seem to remember reading about this issue before, concerning both 8 and 16 GB cards - So it seems logical it would apply to 32 GB cards as well. I don't know whether this is related to memory addressing issues or some other limitation - FAT 32, perhaps? (please, someone enlighten us both if you know) but using a 2 or 4 GB Card prevents the problem from occuring altogether.
as above said, most 16gb cards don't work(only know one person who has said the successful y used a 16gb card) and many 8gb cards don't work, so its a safe bet that a 32 is not gonna work. 2gb seems to be the optimum size, but 4 should work too.
for me, i have a 512meg card i use on the very rare occasions i use sd.
well since I got my HD2 I've used its 16GB sandisk to flash ROMs to the phone and have never had an issue before but both 32Gb cards I've tried just don't seem to respond.
Thats rather strange.
Theoreticaly you should only be able to flash from SD cards. During booting a driver is loaded so that SD HC cards can be read by the phone.
i.e. everything non SD HC up to 4GB should work fine, everything SD HC above 4GB should not allow flashing.

My Sandisk 16GB SDHC card also works perfectly for flashing on the odd occasion that I use it for flashing that is
hmm, that is interesting, I can't flash from my sandisk 16gb, class 2. Not sure why others can.
I can flash from 8gb class2 and below though. I use a 2gb sandisk just for this purpose.
I just bought a Kingston 32GB class 4 micro sdhc card. it seems it is not working correctly. here are the symptoms:
1. after the first time bootup wizard, several apps (widgets, settings apps) crashed.
2. every reboot it start the "first time startup" wizard.
I am not sure if it is a faulty card or I missed a step installing android on my card. All the builds I used work on my older 8gb card.

Try to reflash your rom to with task 29,format the card,and install android fron the begining,not a copy from your old card,and install all the app manually again,not from a backup,,maybe this will solve the problem!
Try doing a fresh install instead of just copying files over.
I did try a fresh install. I didn't copy my old install to the card. I tried 3 different builds (fresh).
at the last try, I did a diff on the sdcard and the android build folder, it seems files are copied over to the sdcard correctly.
but everyboot it launches the setup wizard. it seems data are not being save to the sdcard in Android.
Where can I get task 29?

This will help.. Its from DaDoctor in the Core Cell Evo Rom forum.
"If you are experiencing odd behavior from the ROM (random freezes, slow down, etc) download and run task29. Please be sure you UNDERSTAND what you are doing! This app will format the internal memory of your HD2, removing any trace of previous ROMs, Radios, ETC. So, after the application runs, you will have NO OS on your phone! You will have to flash from SD or from RUU via bootloader (by holding the volume down button on bootup). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781"
Check the datasheet, find out if high speed 32gb cards require a different clock speed. This is the case of sd versus sdhc.. I'm guessing it doesn't tho, as 32gb is under the sd 2.0 spec. Create a working android 'folder' with another card, transfer the contents to the new card - see if you still have problems. And yes, I understand that is the opposite of what has been said in this thread.
It doesn't seem like a task29 will help. This is an android related issue with the change being a sd card.. Formatting the nand seems strange.

Hey buddy!! Bad news for you. Kingston doesn't make a class 4 32GB microsd cards yet!!! I am assuming you bought it from ebay. There are some people out there who modify a 1GB or 2GB or 8GB card to report it as 32GB. But when you try to write data on it, it gets corrupted.
If you want to check this is the case or not then
format your card. Put a lot of data on it(movies, songs or anything you want) and fill it up all the way. Now try to copy the data on a different computer. If you get errors while copying, your card is reporting a wrong capacity and you can file for a money back claim on ebay!!
Edit: Here's a link to such Kingston 32GB cards which sells for $10:d

I have been running android on a SanDisk 32gb class 2 card from amazon for a couple of weeks now, no problems. The card is noticeably slower(%75 or so) on android boots then a 16gb class 2 card, but after that it is the same. Well worth the extra storage.

Hello all!
I'm not able to post in the development forum (since I'm a noob with less than 10 posts ).
I just moved from the 182 CM7 Nightly on my Vibrant to the Passion ICS v10.
Everything is running pretty darn smooth and thing I thought i'd be missing from CM7 are not really bothering me.
The issue I'm having is with my 8GB external SD card. I'm getting the standard SD Card is empty of has an unrecognizable filesys.
1. I've tried formatting through Storage menu, recovery menu, blackberry and an adapter.
2. I've tried all the tricks on the forums.
The build is not recognizing the card for some reason. I plug the card into my Blackberry and its fine.
I took the 2GB card from the blackberry and put it in the vibrant and it immediately recognized it and mounted w/o a hitch.
Is there a size issue/bug w/ the external SD?
Have you tried taking the SD card and plugging it into your computer, and then formatting it from there?
EDIT: I just tried it with my 8GB microSD card. It looks like mine's not being recognized either.
I'm not running ICS, but maybe it just doesn't support that much on an SD? Just throwing out ideas and maybes.
That would be really silly. Not supporting 8GB SD card .
Kept trying a few more tricks. Still have the same issue.
Also, when I added the 2GB the internal unmounted. Have to go in and manually mount the internal after external mounts (just the first time).
This is a just a heads up.

Omg yes i have the same issue, but ive looked into it some more..
I have 2 128mb, a 2gb (that came with the phone) and a 4gb and 8gb sdhc of the same brand... the 8gb and one of the 128mb dont get seen (and the 128s are identical) ive tried formatting in fat16 and fat 32 and ntfs and even mac os x journaled lol and nothing worked... i then returned to cm7 and formatted from there... went back to ics passion v9.2 and then v10 and cm9 and ssame exact symptoms... so idk.. its not because of sdHC, it doesnt sseem to be filesystem and the 128mb thing just really blows my mind..
Hope we get an answer

might be something specific to your card...im on ics 16 gb sd card working perfectly. loving ics !
I have a 16gig Ext SD card and I am having the same issue. So frustrating!
im using an 8gb and it works just find. but to acces the files on the SDcard i look under "emmc" or "mnt/emmc" or "home/emmc" (depending on which file browser you use).

Obviously this question is turning to be a bug. There is confirmation from several users with the same problem.
I have a 4Gb micro sd Patriot and seems to be OK.
You have to look into emmc folder.
Wow , thanks for the awesome pointers that I should look into EMMC folder (sarcasm btw).
The bug is about the SD CARD NOT BEING MOUNTED and reporting as blank and having a non-supported filesystem.
The card in question works fine on the PC and 2 other phones one of the Vibrant with stock ROM.
I only want to help.
I understand your point but we want to exclude options. Can you try another SD cards in this same phone?

May be trying this check list:
Mount SD card
Format SD cad>Mount SD Card
Format SD cad in the other phone or PC>Mount SD Card
Try Stability Test V2.3 in the other phone
Try SD Tools V2.4 in the other phone
Dust inside the SD socket?
Have you tried formatting in your phone?
Could be you got unlucky, and got a faulty card reader in your phone. But also possible the sd card just needs to be formatted.

It won´t Mount to the Phone, when I hit "Mount" it would keep on saying Mounting but it doesn´t... When I connect the phone (with the SDCard in it) to the PC the SDCard is not shown. However, it does if its in my friend´s phone.....
Im thinking it could be that my phone is rooted, unlike my friend´s. So I think I could take it back to its original ROM and try, if it doesnt work then take it to warranty cuz the SDcards work just fine in my other friend phone (which is the same one as mine, bought it together, same day, same company).

Yes it is formatted, did it twice in my friend´s phone. I dont think its an sd card problem, its more like a feature/option thing, which I dont get to see any solution but to flash back to stock rom the phone.

Right; I mentioned the card as a POSSIBILITY, but that another possibility is that the card READER in your phone is jacked up. Root should NOT have any affect in your phone's ability to read an sd card. I have root on my phone, and it reads my class 10 16gb sd card just fine. But it may be worth it to try flashing back to stock to see if that helps. Otherwise, your only option left after that is warranty.

The thing is that it can read a 4GB micro sd that my other friend was using before, thats why I think it has something to do with my phone not reading that specific type of SDCard for some reason. I think of going back to stock because Root is the only difference between mine and my friends phone/MicroSDCard.
I´ll let you guys know my results in case someone else finds the same problem.

Sounds like it is having difficulty reading SDHC (High Capacity) cards. I think standard SD cards can get up to 8GB, so I'm betting your 4GB card is a standard micro SD, and not an SDHC. SDHC was created for 16 and 32GB.

Ok discard software related problem:
1- Flash original ROM-Kernel and try,
2- Then discard hardware related problem(in the phone and the SD card side)
Phone side;apply an electronic spray cleaner in the socket an SD Card. Use an anti-static wrist strap
3- SD card side; use software tools i recommended before in several SD cards.
Just to let u guys know, it was a hardware problem. I had to get a new phone.

Hello there,
I just bought a 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card.
After inserting it, I made sure the phone sees it, and the computer sees it.
So I started transfering files to it...
Every time I try to transfer files to it, the cards sort of unmount, the computer stops seeing the External/Internal storage drivers info (0/0 KB and no files).
I realized I might be needing to format it, so I went to recovery and formatted the external card. Still no good...
If I don't try to transfer files, the internal sd card still works fine.
Am I formatting it wrong? or some other issue? Did I buy a faulty card?
Thanks!

Pic 2: The error I get, doesn't mean much except that the pc doesn't recognize the storage device, but just for the heck of it.

If unsure about the quality of your SD card google for h2testw. It is a Windows test software you can use to test your SD card.
Tried formatting it... still no good.
And h2test tries to copy a file repeatedly and after some time it also gets stuck like I do manually...
I was running into the exact same issue as you with an SD card awhile back. Tried many, if not all of the suggestions listed here. Sometimes, the cards just die on you, especially at the most inopportune times...

Open CMD
Type format [letter_of_external_card]: /x
ex.
format E: /x
and wait.
Then format again (through Windows Explorer) with this settings:
FAT32
default allocation size
fast formatting checked
and share the results.

Failure of h2test is normally due to defective hardware.
For SD cards I do not really know but when it comes to USB sticks there are many around that are just cheap crap. You could for instance buy a 8GB stick that will happily accept 8GB of data but only store 4-6GB!. This is where h2test comes into play: it will not only write but also read and therefore check if the data written was really stored in the flash.

Hello there,
I just bought a 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD card.

Class 10? That card might be just too fast for your hardware.
I'm using Sandisk 32GB Class 4 and never had any problems.
I have tried some Class 6 and Class 8 cards with very various results.
Only class 8 card I found correctly working in my device was Memorex, but it was only 4GB.
So I gave up on fast cards...
its fake or corrupt,did you buy the samsung off a retailer , you always test flash with h2testw before you use it, speed is not the issue,i got a class 10 32gb i had many 16,256,4gb fakes, only 3.7 gb usable droped down to 1kb write then windows couldnt read the storage so you reformat again.
