[Q] NAND Rom damaged my microSD?

[cungLe]

Hi,

So I have this weird issue.

My microSD sanDisk 8GB worked fine with my first NAND Rom (NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9G_NAND).

Then I wanted to try a new Rom so I flashed to another Rom (DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand). Before doing this I also fully formatted my SD to FAT32.

I had my microSD in the phone while flashing the second one. And after the boot, it didn't not recognize th SD at all, "preparing your SD" didn't even appear. So I try to put the microSD into PC, and it still recognizes it. I can moves files into it and it works. But the phone just the doesn't read the SD.

Then I tried my friends SD, I did a full format to FAT32. And guess what, it works.

So, the only conclusion I can come to is there's something wrong with my SD and the cause was the second rom.

P.S. I'm back to my first Rom now. And still, SD card unmounted or not present.

Sucks you lost your SD card but the rom or magldr did not damage your card you must of done something wrong to where your phone is not reading the card. You should wipe everything and try again chances are it will work like a charm.

Formatting

Hi, thanks for reply. I tried to reformat 3 times already with a same result.

My settings are:

FAT32 (FULL FORMAT)
Allocation: 64kb

Maybe panasonic formatter can help you.

Hi, thx for replying. Yes I tried that too, but since I didn't have a card reader I had to use USB Mass Storage. And when I opened up the program it said this device is not supported.

So I had to use Windows formatter.

Not sure if you fixed it yet or not but I used backward to fix mine. On any generic Linux build cfdisk or fdisk it to partition it out to a fat32 lba partition . Will fix it right up.

Hi, thx for answering. Could you please elaborate more on how I should use Linux to partition? I've never used Linux before, but I have and know how to use Gparted Live.

Hey, thx for replying. I tried your method, but when I open up the SD formatter it says this device is not supported. I used MAGLDR 1.13 USB Mass Strg

Any ideas?

Do NOT use MAGLDR 1.13 USB mass storage and dont listen to the person who told you to either.

1.13 has a very bad bug with mass storage driver and it corrupts sd/data. If you haven't got a card reader go back to 1.12 and use that mass storage or CWR mass storage as an alternative.

Once you have done this use Panasonic SD formatter on following settings...

FORMAT TYPE: FULL (ERASE ON)
SIZE ADJUSTMENT: ON

I had this problem too, surprisingly with the same ROM. Are you using Clockwork Recovery? If so go into Clockwork Recovery -> Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Pick some sizes. After doing this my SD card worked fine.
