I successfully achieved S-OFF after it strangely rebooted to Amon Ra, where I had to manually reboot by pressing power. Anyway, after the device booted up and everything seemed fine with S-OFF established, I am getting a blank SD card error. I tried to reformat from the device and from the computer but for some reason, my device nor my computer will even recognize my SD card. This is really worrying me as I just purchased a 32GB card recently and now it seems to be completely fried. Is this a known issue??

What happened is that the partition got erased so the computer is not recognizing it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613448

I used Gparted live CD to make a partition , then reformat it in fat 32 and all is good.

Also, I was never asked to install their hboot, but still have S OFF. Once it booted to Amon Ra I just pressed reboot and it booted the phone up and controlbear said s-off is already established, exit.... Is this normal?

UPDATE: I just used an SD to USB adapter and plugged it into my computer and just did a quick format to FAT32 and all is well! :)

Same thing happened to me. I put the SD card in another phone, and formatted it via USB on my computer (win 7). I clicked the device default button when prompted.

edit: Sorry, I lied. I formatted it in the phone. When I did the above it only formatted to 108kb. Doing it in my old droid x restored it back to 14GB.

I could read my SD cards in other devices, but I could not read internal or external SD after going s-off. I flashed the Engineering HBOOT and GB Firmware package in the dev section and it fixed my issues. I am running an ICS rom with the old firmware patch and everything is good now.
