16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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 |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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? |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
- 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! |

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. |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
I can't be the only one with this issue!
|
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
Maybe a defective connector or something like that... I'd send it back to Nokia if this happened to me.

Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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... Code:
[95963.578399] slide (GPIO 71) is now open |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
With SD card NOT inserted...
Code:
[ 3.098937] Disabling unused clock "ssi_ick"Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods How do I get it updated? Thanks EDIT: Took off the long post sorry! :o |

crail,
No no lol, I appreciate your reply thanks for your help. |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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 |

Crail, Yes, no errors. Thanks! |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
darguzar,
Is it this right here that you're talking about? http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...oad/index.html 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? |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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. |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
damion,
Ok I typed exactly what you typed and this is everything. Code:
~ $ sudo gainrootQuote:

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::( |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!

Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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!)
Code:
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 <<EOF |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
woody14619,
Thanks for the reply, I will try right away and post back on the results. |

Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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. Code:
/home/user # umount /dev/mmcblk1 |

Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
Ok woody14619,
At root just typed "mount". Code:
/home/user # mount |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
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.. |
Re: 16GB miniSD issue!!! HELP!
fnordianslip,
Did the "umount /media mmc1" Code:
/home/user # umount /media mmc1 |
