[Q] SD card ( mini ) from 8 (7.78 ) GB to 6.4 GB - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Sandisk mini SD card which is 8GB (7.78 ).
When Installed Custom Rom . I tried something with CMW and formatted and partitioned it. It showing now is 6.4Gb space and 1.38GB space is missing.
I checked with DiskManagement. it showed the rest 1.38 GB space. I tried to Unmount that and now its showing 2 drive in 1 SD card.
There is no option to change that to 1 ( 8GB ) Drive.
Need Help.
Thank you,
Ravi Nazre
Edit:
Now it does not show the unmounted Space in the Diskmanagement. I am Amazed! but most important here is how to get it back to normal.

Hi beston94,
Thanks for your Help.
I tried the Panasonic SD formater. That shows 6.41 GB. I tried FULL WRITE Erase. Still the same. Now it does not show in Disk Management that there is an unallocated space. I have attached the screenshot.

You obviously re-partitioned the SD card to have 6.4 gb and 1.38 gb partitions. You will have to re-partition the SD card again. Formatting alone won't re-partition the card. It will just wipe what is on the main partition, which looks like the 6.4 portion.

Yeah!
So How do i re-partition the SD card again ?
What are the steps involved without using a 3rd party software ? ( If there is.. )
or Please let me know the name of the software which does that.

You can't do it the same way you did the first time?

If I reinsert my SD card, It seems to give me a message saying it's been inserted. But it's still not detected. How can I fix this?
Regards.
delete your ext2 or ext3 partition.
only fat32 with 1 partition (you don't need ext2 anymore for your sdcard)
make backup of your sd card before!
I'm unsure how to do this. Also, thanks for your response. It's been total chaos for me. I guess they should've included this step in the installation process.
backup your sd card via computer then format your sd card to fat32 then try if is detected.
sory for bad english
I did that and there is still an issue.

go on development forum there you may find a solution or install CM7 gingerbread v13
Right click Computer - Manage - Disk Manager.
Then delete al the ext partions and reformat your card.
do as terrormattie.
makesure you're deleting the right partition and storage.
you can always use other tools like partition wizard to delete or create it later.

[Q] Need help with ROM porting (SD Card problem)

I was trying to port a ROM to my phone, but I can't get the SD card to mount properly.
It DOES mount but in a weird way.
The SD card shows up in Settings>Storage but it is divided up between internal storage and SD card.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The 32gb sd card is showing up as internal storage while the files on it are coming up under SD card. And as you can see, there is no option to unmount or format it but a greyed out option to mount it.
And if I take it out and put it back in, it doesn't mount even in this way until I restart the phone.
Apps like ROM Manager/Camera say that the SD Card is not mounted while apps like gallery and apollo can read my images and music off of it.
Could somebody please tell me what could be wrong and how could I possibly fix it.
Bump.
Please someone give some clue. I am also experiencing simillar problem while porting for my phone

Me too!
Except I can't even access the settings>storage because it FCs.
And when I plug in the phone to my computer, it doesn't give me connection options. It just charges.
Any help?
What worked for me was to put the 'storage_list.xml' file from the old framework-res.apk (BASE) to the new framework-res.apk (PORT).
What worked for me was leaving the ports vold.fstab there

Problem with Storage
Do you have now the permanent fix with this problem?
i tried both the storage_list_xml and leaving the vold their.
but none works for me, I can't still change the default write disk to internal storage, and the size of the internal is not correct.
4gb is the built in memory but it says 16gb when porting roms.
thank you in advanced.

But nothing worked
As i click storage option in sd card mobile reboots
Both the storage r shown in recovery
But not through usb or in device
Plz help me out dev....

What do you want? To get back 512 MB or use it as an ext2 partition?
If you want to use your all available space then; Use Rmprep usb to format your sdcard. http://www.rmprepusb.com/

Select your drive Select size as MAX, and hit 6. Prepare drive. Thats all....
If you want it use as Ext2/3/4 partition there is a lot of guides in Dev and General section...
Thanks, I got the full 2gb back using that tool. I then partitioned it to 1.5gb Fat32 and 512mb EXT4 in Mini Tool Partition Wizard. For some reason I remove and reinsert the SD card in my laptop, windows tell me it needs formatting even though it is already formatted. If I reload Mini Tool Partition the ext4 partition is no longer visible and I've no way to reclaim it other than using the tool you provided.
Edit: It was a dodgy MicroSD - SD Card adapter. I've got my SD properly partitioned now, thanks.

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue with almost similar details for storage as posted by OP. Now i don't know for OP, but these details are there in my canvas HD for Phone Storage. Hence, my question is, Will following your steps for formatting external memory fix this issue?
Do you have xposed 2.6.1 installed.?

[Q] Android phone stopped recognizing my SD card

Here's the deal.
Today I woke up to my phone charging by the night... but it downcharged to 15% of batterry. I reboot it and find out that my SD card showed up info of being "empty". The minitool partition wizard on a PC shows me that info:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
no no, the memory card is 8GB not 32MB.
How to recover the partitions? Also, the SD card has been partitioned for use with app2sd programs with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning, because my phone (HTC Explorer "Pico") has a very small amount of internal memory. The rom was stock though.
Of course I could re-format it, but I don't want to, because the data stored there was very special to me. I want to recover it.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
I had that same problem a while back. I unmounted the SD Card and put it in another phone and it still said the same. So I soft reset my first phone, put the SD Card back in, and all was good.

But the card couldn't be recognized on a Linux, on a DMDE, SD Formatter, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, and primary on a TestDisk and on a GParted, and one big nothing was achieved.... You say that if I just soft reset the android phone, everything will be back to normal? Did you had the exactly same problem? You know, I need to clarify things before I do something that could destroy entirely my data.
I didn't have the exact problem just something similar and a soft reset (which will do no harm) worked for me. If the SD card can't be read any other ways then I don't know anything else other than formating the SD card.
