there's something wrong with it, some files i can't delete, any way to format?
Try formatting it through a computer.
OR
If you do a factory reset from stock recovery, it will format the SD card also.
But then you have to setup all the things again

help, I accidentally formatted my sd card. After rebooting, I always get the message that the sd card is blank or has an unsupported file system. I have tried different ways of formatting (ext4, ext3, fat32, fat32+ ext3) but no success so far.
Anyone has a solution? I am using modaco 2.8

With Astro or similar first back up your applications,secondly go back to recovery and go to bottom to mount sd card so that you can copy backups folder to your pc.
Now reformatt and make partitions and remount sd card to copy modaco's rom and choose zip to update. I dont think there is easy way round.
So you are saying the only way to fix this is by reflashing?
BTW, if I have to flash anyways, do I need to setup a fat32 partition or can I format the entire card as ext4 (i don't use windows on my pc)
Without flash your applications may not work correctly but you can try.
I think just ext4 will not be enough because how are you going to transfer files and folder which needs fat32?
Your current ROM will have automatically put files in your sd card which got destroyed by accidental format.
Anyone know how to wipe the Sd card? The reason is that over time, many apps created many folders on my sd card and i want to start fresh for 2.1. So yea...
Put it in a card reader and format it, or mount it and format it.
In CW recovery, when I do wipes i goto Mount and Storage then format / data, cache, system.
What happens if i select format / sdcard? will that erase my internal sd card?
Formatting an SD card will wipe it totally clean, so yes.
I've never used it but I suspect it's the same as formatting sd card from settings / storage. You would lose all your photos, media files and everything else on your internal SD card.

Plus phone will no longer boot .
Useful for a fresh install on a clean phone via download mode and Odin and stock rom .

Hi. Noob Android user here
So. I turned on usb storage and formatted the sd card from windows. I copied some files onto it and after i turned off usb storage it said "SD card is safe to remove" and i don't seem to be able to mount it back.
Thank you.

try to format it thru phone
Tried that a couple of time and it didn't work. After a couple of reboots it worked now. Thanks.
Still got a question though.
What are the correct settings for formatting the sd card from windows?
Is it necessary to partition it from CWM? What are the correct setting for this?
LE: Ok. I got myself deeper in trouble. I managed to format the sd card from CWM. I mounted the sd card and copied update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip over. I wiped the phone's memory and tried to install CM7 and got the following error: "E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip (bad)". I also tried with update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500-KANG-signed_v2.6.zip but doesn't work either.
I was thinking of trying to partition the sd card from CWM but i'm afraid i will make it unable to mount back again and this time i got no android to format it from.
Also it seems that formatting the sd card from cwm doesn't really work. The files are still there though it says that it completed.
LE2: I managed to mount sd card from cwm and copied over a cwm backup folder i had in my computer. Takes a while to copy it like it really does something. But after i try to restore or remount usb storage the files aren't there anymore.
can you tell me why do you want to patition your sd card? do you want to create second partition (sd-ext) or what?

Just format your SDCARD from SETTINGS - STORAGE, after that proceed with the instalation of CM7 or whatever you want. Don't partition your SDCARD if you don't know how to do that and if you don't need partitioned SDCARD. It is not necessary to do that if you don't use an APPS2SD app, so don't waste your time with that.
i want to format my sd card beacuse place isnt enough any more..
corrently for now i copyed those folders to computer:

music
any thing else i should move to my computer before i format sd card?if i format sd card ill still have a recovery?
ty for helpers
If you didnot copy any file to Computer and format sd card you still have recovery install and if you are using any offline dictionary then you should move dictionary data folder to Computer before formating sd card.
Any files that are on your SD card will be gone when you format it, so copy over anything you do not want to lose. Formatting your SD card will not get rid of your custom recovery.
Recovery doesn't lost when you format sd card
