Ok guys, I've looked everywhere for a solution for this and I can't find ONE SOLID solution that will tell me step by step how to fix this. Some solutions tell you steps, but in the middle they assume you know how to get this or do this and I'm clueless! :(

For some reason IN my N900 my 16GB miniSD card isn't working the way it should. Everytime I try to add something ERROR, CORRUPTED anything in that matter. Formatting it in the N900 doesn't work! Formatting it via PC while in the N900 doesn't work! I also formatted it in the adapter and a different phone (EVO) then put it back in my N900, doesn't work! When I put it in an adapter so the PC could read it or another phone to read it, it works GREAT! It's just that when it comes to my phone to use it it's a no go.

Anyone have a SOLID solution? I'm new to Nokia, but I'm def. getting the hang. I'm coming from a Windows phone (HD2) and I know about flashing and stuff. Just that the flashing for this phone is more difficult. I tried reading, but I can't seem to understand it yet. Flashing for Windows phone is much easier!

Thanks in advance! Somebody sent me to this site so I hope I get great results. :D

BTW: I have Version 10.2010.19-1.002

The initial questions I have are:
- Where did you get the SD card
- Where was the seller based
- Have you tried to write data to it beyond formatting from either the EVO or the PC?

- The SD card came from my brand NEW never been used HD2.
- Phone came directly from T-Mobile
- With the adapter or EVO no, but when it was on my N900 I tried and it kept telling me to insert it because it wouldn't open folders, create folders or add any files.

The thing is a few times I added files via N900/USB and I thought it was working then out the blue I would get errors. Happens everytime so I don't even try to add any files anymore.

I will try adding data to the card while on the EVO and adapter to see what happens. I already have a great feeling it will work fine, but when I add it to my phone to access those files. It will not work!

Thanks for the reply!

Ok the card seems to be working fine when it comes to adding data via Evo and adapter.

Any suggestions?

There was a thread that I found off google that the person rereflashed with EMMC or whatever it is. I went through the wiki and I don't understand the instructions because it's not a simple step by step. I'm use to flashing because I'm coming from a windows mobile phone (HD2). Pretty easy flashing custom ROMs for WM based phones.

Maybe a defective connector or something like that... I'd send it back to Nokia if this happened to me.

I have a feeling it has nothing to do with a bad device. Like I said I read somewhere how somebody did a reflash of EMMC or MMC and got it to work. Where I found it I didn't get basic instructions on how to do it so I left it alone.

I will try and look for it.

I've read somewhere to do the command "dmesg" in X Terminal to look for errors. I don't know what I'm looking for so can someone look through the list. I will most a list with the SD card inserted and when it's not.

With the SD card inserted...

Is it this right here that you're talking about?

If so, I'm formatting it with the program while the SD card is in the N900 is that fine or do I need to use the adapter?

become root (root sh installed and type sudo gainroot).
type:

sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1
file -s /dev'mmcblk1
file -s /dev'mmcblk1p1
file -s /dev'mmcblk1p2

paste the output here.

As long as you have partition (dos/doze don't care) mkdosfs should format cleanly.

Check your block device is okay, ie you have the magnet under the stand still.

It's a harmless and meaningless (to you) kernel warning, it happens on desktop machines too. It was fixed in newer kernels but N900 still uses old 2.6.28 which was first released in 2008.

i don't know if this is gona fix it or not but you can always try....

well i had to same problem but with a 8gb card and some other cell phone...

the thing was that the card format (Like it is basically FAT or FAT 16)

So for that try fromatting it but not on the phone or directly from the card reader by right clicking the drive icon and formatting it

Format it with Panasonic SD Formatter......

it might be available online for to download a very small but very effective software for formatting Memory cards...

I hope it solves the problem....

If you can't find the SD formatter email me...
darguzar@yahoo.com

I did what you said, I got the program from http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html and I hope that's the right one.

After I formatted it using the program while the SD card was inserted in the N900 via PC though. I restarted my phone and made a copy of my videos into the SD card. It was working... THEN I would repeatedly play the videos off the SD card to make sure it would keep playing. That's when it started saying NO FILE FOUND. :(

So I'm back to the beginning with this issue...

I'm getting so tired of this! :mad::(

I guess I installed file from somewhere, however as we now see, you don't have any partitions. Try partitioning it in to a single partition and format that as fat32.

you should have a warranty on the card if you bought it new. you should send it back

I have no idea on how to do that. Like I said I'm new to all this stuff. Please explain...

Like I said before the card is fine because it works on every other device I have with no issues. This is how I know it's the phone, I put a 4GB card in the phone and I got the same problems.That 4GB is in use with another phone with no problems. The phone is perfect just this memory card issue that I'm having.

woody14619,

Thanks for the reply, I will try right away and post back on the results.

HeavyComponent

2010-06-28, 21:51

Try this, in a root terminal (this will format the card!). you should be able to cut/paste it right into a root terminal. (Be sure you're root first, via root or gainroot!)

sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 <<EOF
,,c
EOF
sync
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk1

That should show you've created a new partition, and formatted it to vfat.

Before I continue this is what I got so far. I stopped after the 3rd line "EOF". This what showed up and I wanted to know is it safe to continue?

/home/user # sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 <<EOF
> ,,c
> EOF
Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...
BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy

This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is probably a bad idea.
Umount all file systems, and swapoff all swap partitions on this disk.
Use the --no-reread flag to suppress this check.
Use the --force flag to overrule all checks.
/home/user #

Now what?

woody14619

2010-06-28, 22:04

Before I continue this is what I got so far. I stopped after the 3rd line "EOF". This what showed up and I wanted to know is it safe to continue?

So it's mounted? That's really odd...

Try this (and again, be sure you are root!)

root
umount /dev/mmcblk1

That should unmount everything. They try this block again:

sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 <<EOF
,,c
EOF
sync
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk1

Worst case, use the --force flag, just make sure you're saying mmcblk1 and NOT mmcblk0! mmcblk0 is your internal OS!

HeavyComponent

woody14619

2010-06-28, 22:19

woody14619,

Ok lets say I have to use the force flag. How do I do that?

EDIT: Tried the umount and this is what I got.

/home/user # umount /dev/mmcblk1
umount: cannot umount /dev/mmcblk1: Invalid argument
/home/user #

Just throw it into the command between sfdisk and the device name. :) I'm more concerned about the fact that it thinks it's in use. As root just try typing mount and see if it's listing anything for /dev/mmcblk1. If it is, try umounting that by name. (For example, it may have /dev/mmcblk1p1 mounted? But the previous command said it had no partitions, so...)

HeavyComponent

fnordianslip

2010-06-28, 22:32

Isn't it mmcblk1p1 for the FAT32 partition on the uSDHC card on the N900?

If so, "umount /media/mmc1" as root, followed by the other stuff, as appropriate, should (probably) work.

Note that /dev/mmcblk1p1 is the first partition on /dev/mmcblk1 and /media/mmc1 is the directory it gets mounted to.

Edit: beer induced typo corrected for the benefit of humanity..

HeavyComponent

2010-06-28, 22:36

fnordianslip,

Did the "umount /media mmc1"

Ok woody14619,

At root just typed "mount".

Hmm.. thats odd, since the sfdisk command output you showed bfore said it had no partitions on the device... Yet now it's saying it has a partition mounted. Well, this should do it for you:

umount /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 <<EOF
,,c
EOF
sync
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1
sync
sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk1

The output the the last command should show you have a partition, formatted properly. Then a quick reboot (or open your back cover and replace it) and you should be all set.

Aargh. Sorry. Been drinking :) Not helpfull, I know, but at least I'm trying ...

"umount /media/mmc1" should do it.

Will do after woody14619 confirms my previous post.

Thanks!

You look good... I'd say reboot and trying writing to it. That should put everything into a working state.

I think I see part of the issue. The old one was formatted as type b, not c. The difference is one uses LBA, the other does not. Shouldn't make a huge difference, but if the devices read the card slighly differently, the LBA version should help.

One thing to note: This is formatting to Fat32. That means you can't store a file on it larger than 2Gb, regardless of the size of the partition. (That's a FAT limitation, no way around that.) Otherwise, anything under 2Gb should store and work fine.

Alright, it looks like I could write to it, I could before but they would disappear and get the corruption error. Anyway, I copied my videos folder to the memory card but for some reason they don't want to play correctly. It doesn't feel like it's a 100%. :(

EDIT: I just attempted to delete the videos folder I copied. It deleted, closed the box, reopened the media manager ...the folder with the videos are still there. :confused:

Back to the beginning! I really thought this would of fixed the problem. :(

Had a similar problem (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=56305) before - and I never found a fix for it, either.

Just seems like the N900 is a bit picky which cards it will accept. The card in question now happily lives inside my XPeria, while the former XPeria card now works like a charm within the N900. Had no problems with either onr since then - but I'm sure if I switched again I would be back to my read-only problem.

Nathraiben,

I think I'll do a switch with my 16 with my brothers 16 and see what happens.

Will report back.

I would like to thank everyone who replied and tried to help me. If anyone got a solution please post.

EDIT: You could be right about the N900 being picky when it comes to these memory cards. I inserted my sisters 2GB and it worked flawlessly. The videos played smooth depending on which media player I used, but still quite smooth.

My 16GB has a 2 in the corner and it says HC on it. I have no idea what those stand for. My sisters 2GB is just plain sandisk SD card.

Some folks have had problems with their microSDHC cards when after having hooked up to their Windows computer in Mass Storage Mode they failed to shut down the card properly by using the "Safely Remove Hardware" wizard before detaching it from the computer. Don't know if this applies to your circumstances or not. I didn't see this mentioned previously, I may have missed it.

The HC is high capacity, in excess of 2 gigabytes. The 2, 4 or 6 has to do with transfers speed possible with the microSDHC card. I saw this mentioned above so I am addressing it.

tzsm98,

Oh ok, I had a feeling that's what it meant. Thanks for the reply.

Interesting, so in both cases we're talking about a 16GB microSDHC 2 not working.

(The one that works with my N900 is a 8GB microSDHC 4)

If you happen to get access to your brother's card, maybe note down the data transfer rate for that one, too.

Nathraiben,

Will do as soon as I get home.

I did a switch with a 8GB memory card that has the same class and everything as my 16. Same issue! My brothers 16GB is the same as my 16 so I won't even bother doing a switch.

I GIVE UP! I will just use the device internal memory which is more then enough, but more storage would of been great.

Again, I would like to thank everyone that helped me. You guys are great!!!

Thanks for the information, HeavyC, even if it's a bit discouraging.

Guess it's really a general problem with SDHC class 2 cards then. :(

Just wanted to let you guys know that I found my old 8GB class 4 SD card and it's working flawlessly. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :D
