Did you format, within phone, to FAT32? It looks as though you have experience with builds so I'm sure that you are installing the Android folder on the root of the SD card...make sure that you don't create a folder and then add the build folder to the root folder; it creates a sub and that causes problems.

thank you for answer , i'm not a newbie on Android. this card always was formatted with fat32 on pc , and phone, also with panasonic sd formatte 2.0. Card is working well , 5-6 mb on test with hdd tune. i made him active , bootable , xfat , fat 16, partitioned in 2, changed cluster, tried everything who cross my mind without any succes. No build start. i waitted 2 hour's for data.img to be created but no succes. i tried with version copy pasted from my old card who works, still nothing. i don't know what else to do .

btw, i checked your thread, very nice job.

It might be as simple as the "Serioux" card isn't supported; the only other thing that I know off the top of my head is at the bottom of my thread; I had found a link to the formatting issue and that's where I came up with the idea of formatting within WinMo.

I know that it does take some builds to load as it creates the data.img, especially a larger one; if you opted for the 1gb for instance.
You are using the same build as the other card? And, you loaded the file the same way? Did you do it through USB connect?
Let's see if we can't get this goin'!

It's definately the card. I bought a wintec class 10 16gb and android wont run hardley at all on it, went and bought a 16gb sandisk class 2 at radioshack and android runs flawless on it. The shame is that the sandisk class 2 tests at class 10 speeds. They have it on Newegg for $34, Get model # SDSDQ-016G-A11M. There are two versions on newegg so make sure you order the right one. You won't be disappointed.

Have you tried formatting your SD card with WinMo? This helped someone a couple of months ago, it's got something to do with a partition index file.
