[Q] Incorrectly partitioned SD card, need fix.

---

Hi, I accidentally wiped my SD card in TWRP, and I held the power button in an attempt to stop it. That of course didn't work, and my SD card was unusable. So I tried partitioning it with TWRP (Advanced > Partition SD Card) and that didn't do anything. I plugged it into my PC running Ubuntu 11.04 and formatted it to Fat32, and I'm now able to copy files to it and such with my PC, but I can't flash anything from it, and I have no ROM currently installed on it. I need help getting the SD card working again.

Do you still have TWRP recovery installed? If you do, boot to it and post the result of the following...

adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
unit
   ^This will ask for another input. Type "B" and hit Enter
print

This will show your current partition layout.

It's showing that the "media" partition (sdcard) isn't formatted to fat32.

You would have to reformat it from TWRP recovery. The following should work.

adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
mkfs 12 fat32
    ^This will format partition 12 to the fat32 filesystem.

Thank you so much, that fixed it.

Glad to hear your KF is back to normal.

Please help thankyou

the simpliest way should be to use fff version 1.1 or higher
boot to fastboot mode and issue "fastboot oem format"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1369405
this should restore the factory partitioning

It says

. . . FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.004s

is your fff version 1.1 or newer ?
twrp installs version 1.0
would suggest to install (linked in) version 1.2 and retry
