[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeryer:
I am using a 16gb G.Skill microsdhc class 10. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to make 2 partitions, it show 14gb+ of unallocated space. I made the following partitions without any problems.

1: 1gb primary-ext 4

2: 13gb+ primary-fat32

I followed these steps by mor_1228 to install the Apocalypse Final ROM

I followed the steps and finished up to this step :

Here is where the PROBLEM started :

I was in CWM 5 recovery and was about to flash the Apocalypse Rom but I can't seem to find the CM7-APOCALYPSE-090712-FINAL zip file to flash, I rebooted the phone normally and it showed that my microSD is blank. Then I connected my sdcard to my pc but it isn't recognized anymore.

Opened Disk Management in windows and saw that my SD card only has 1gb capacity. Minitool partition Wizard also showed 1gb. I tried the Partition recovery wizard but didn't get any success. Also tried EaseUS partition master but the same result.

When I try to make that 1gb a partition, it show Bad Disk under File System, when I try to use CWM to make a partition, it just gets stuck in the partitioning part. Same with when I try to format it in windows, I also used SDformatter, HP Partition Tool, and other similar apps that came up when I search in and out of this forum for answers but they all just get stuck at 0% and wouldn't progress forward.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

You can formate your sd normally with windows and do again the partition.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryuinferno:
Try to format the sd card with windows again...before putting files into it, partition the sd card via cvm in advanced (do not put things as the whole card will be automatically formatted)...after that, start to put things into your sd card...do not format sd-ext again this time and keep in mind that any windows program will report the partition as corrupted the next time you connect your card to your pc again...it's normal as sd-ext formatted by cwm are like that, but it's effective...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeryer:
First of all, thanks for your suggestion!

I can't format the card anymore. When I try to format it in windows, and using different formatting apps like SDformatter, they just get stuck and wouldn't progress. Sometimes the apps i used just stops responding.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryuinferno:
Google for bootice..install and launch it...then select your sd card in physical disk...go to parts manage...select reformat...then format it into USB-HDD single partition with fat32 format...Hope it helps...:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeryer:
I tried this but bootice gives me an ERROR:

Error write sector 0:Data error (cyclic redundancy check)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubenyz:
With GPartEd you can fix it. Google for it.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeryer:
I tried GPartEd but it also didn't fix it. It said that there was no partition table. But when I tried to Write a Partition Table, there is an error I/O error with the device (Cyclic Redundancy Error). I thought it is caused by the write protect but the write protect is disabled. And another weird thing is when I first inserted the microSD, GPartEd listed that it has 14.97gb unallocated space, but after reinserting it after I checked for write protect, it recognized only 1gb again.

I think I'll just get a replacement for this card. Thanks everyone for helping!

1. OverSkreen - Browser

2. LilyPad - IM Client

3. Super Video - Player

4. Stick it - Player

5. AirTerm - Terminal

7. Floating Notes - Taking Notes

8. Floating Widget - Make Widgets Floating

9. hovernote - Taking Notes

Would you mind sharing your collection so that we have the best set of floating apps in our infinity? :highfive:

Thank you for everyone who contribute.

Do that many people really take handwritten notes on their tablets?? Especially with the Transformer series with the keyboard dock - typed in notes just seem so much more practical as they are searchable, etc.... I know that I, for one, can type a lot faster than I could write, especially on a tablet....

[Asus Transformer TF700] commandersafi:
I use my Transformer extensively for handwritten notes. As an engineering student it's not practical taking notes with the keyboard at all due to a lot of visuals and equations. And get a good note taking app such as LectureNotes (which I've found to be the best) and there are options to add keywords for each of your pages and you can easily index ("search") the notebook for the content you need.

I use to go through ~50 sheets of paper that would ultimately end up in the recycle bin since it was all just scratch work, but now I do it all on my transformer.

I'm using AirCalc and it's pretty nice. There is also DarkCalc (I can't remember if this is on the play store or just posted here on xda by the dev) which has the normal calculator interface (takes whole screen) but has a button which pops it out to a floating window. They are both pretty much identical in functionality.

I have almost tried ALL the ICS custom roms. Besides the default, T-Mo ICS rom, none of the other custom ICS roms that is based on 4.0.3 UVLE1, does not shutdown or reboot.......it just sits there.

All the instructions that I came across refers to 'Cache, Dalvick Cache and Permissions reset" - but this does not make a difference.

Even the software apps available to reboot.poweroff, does not work anymore.

Any ideas? Am I missing something?

It almost seems like something was messed up somewhere and all the ROM mods are based on that?

Thanks

Have you tried that Darkside Cache Wipe? it usually clears up that problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
What recovery are you running? Have you tried the darkside super cache wipe? Cwmr 5.0.2.7 (i believe that's the version) the hard recovery doesn't clear caches correctly. Never had a problem with with ics roms not rebooting or power issues, been running cm9 stable since release and haven't had a problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bert269:
Yes. I used the Darkside Cache wipe everytime before I flash the ROMs, This is my process:

Backup, wipe data, Wipe cache, ADvanced+wipe Dalvic, mount+Format /system, flash Darkside EXT4 wipe, Flash Darkside Cache wipe,

Flash rom, reboot, let is sit 10mins, reboot (well hold power in for 10seconds until it buzz and then boot up)

Afterwards powerbutton brings up menu, it even brings up the T-Mobile shutdown logo (if the rom has it) and just sits there......FOREVER.

I have even reflashed the Darkside Cache wipe - still the same.

I'm on CWM Touch recovery 6.0.1.1

Very annoying.

THanks - yes I have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
Yeah, that is very annoying. Have you looked into the potential that it could be a kernel issue? And also, have you flashed back to stock and done completely clean install without resorting data to anything?

But I'll try the 'back to stock' and report back.

I was having the same problem. The ds scripts did not fix it for me. I also tried updating cwm5.0.2.7 to cwm 6.x. still it did not work. Tried using ROM toolbox pro, titanium backup pro and ROM manager, they would all freeze while trying to power off the phone or trying to reboot to recovery. Finally I flashed twrp2.2, that has seem to fixed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Don't use CWM to wipe cache at all.

1. Flash super wipe

2. Flash Rom

3. Flash cache wipe

4. Reboot

5. Let sit for 10 mins

6. Reboot

Follow those steps and you will have no problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Honestly, I don't see the point of wiping cache after a fresh install. Unless I'm mistaken, there is no cache yet? :confused: I do that except no cache wipe after flash ROM. With Darkside in particular, it installs apps during the first boot up. Of yet to have out of the norm issues.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Must do something because the only way my reboot and power off will work is if I flash the cache wipe after the rom.

I must be the only one with this issue when i use superwipe for some odd reason my phone will not boot unless i do a cwm recovery no matter what i do. i am not too sure why this happes, and btw i am stock...., but it does and i cannot figure it out i am scared to use it. The only other way i was able to get my phone to boot past the quick load up bar which it stops at about 90% for some odd reason is if i do a nandroid restore...any reason why this happens???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
You're supposed to use the darkside cache script after flashing the rom and after flashing any other mods and themes, but I have also notice that the script does not work correctly when using twrp. So when using twrp clear the caches and fix permissions with the options in recovery after the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Bert, dont use that cache wipe again.. i think it depends on the phone or something. After i use that cache wipe zip, the phone is STUCK on goodbye. Does not reboot correctly after that.. i have to battery pull. If your phone hangs "normal" time length, put it in your pocket meanwhile.. who cares, **** happens.. no dev is perfect. Thats why theres so many updates all around..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0Tolerance:
Why are you pulling the battery? If for any reason the phone does get stuck all you have to do is hold down the power button for about 10 seconds for it to reboot. All you're gonna get pulling the battery so much is probably a broken back cover from removing it so much, only time you should pull the battery is if the phone isn't responding even to the power button or stuck in a boot loop where holding power til it reboots and then immediately holding down both volume rockers to get into recovery doesn't work.

TWRP does not seem to have this issue. If you are using CWM, do a factory reset just before booting. I never got the reboot hang when performing a factory reset before first boot. Never had to use darksides super cache wipe.

If you still want to use CWM Touch recovery, use 6.0.1.2 sk8's version...everything is working fine.

oh and if you use any of the CWM 6 versions. do not sure darkside wipes because that causes the problem lol. didn't noticed that you're on that recovery even though it was noted early on lol.

So CWM 5 use darkside

CWM 6 use the normal process of wiping the caches and stuff.

From the Moderator

This has been extensively discussed in numerous threads relating to new rom i.e. battery drain. Instagram engages your GPS and keeps pinging it incessantly..... ergo the battery drain.

The Fix is to disable the app and only turn on when you want to use, then use the task manager to close the app. That way it does not work in the background.....

Now you have an Answer..............

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] troublefunk:
OK I'm at a loss. I've searched for this issue and haven't seen anybody else experiencing this problem.

My Evo is relatively new. Had it just about a month now. Still stock. Haven't had any real problems until I bought a 32GB SD card. I've purchased 2 actually and have had the same issue with both. The phone reads the card fine supposedly. Shows 32GB available (just about). But I'm having the HARDEST time copy files to the card. I've got a ton of music, pics, ringtones, etc I'd like to get on this device. I can connect the phone to my PC, mount as a disk drive and copy to my heart's content. But then when I disconnect the phone and try to access some of those files, they're gone. I mean just GONE. The entire directory I just created with all of it contents... GONE!! Not misplaced or deleted by accident. GONE like they were never there. Like I didn't just spend 10 minutes copying 2gigs worth of files. And this happens just about every time I try. I unmount the phone properly, see the message on screen "preparing sd card" and all seems fine. But my music player says there are no files. Gallery is empty. Go back to look for the files I just copied on the card and nothing. Nowhere to be found. Now of the few hundred times I've tried this now, the directory actually stayed put a couple times. I was able to view my pics, or listen to my music. The folders stay right where I put them. But guess what. The next time I try to copy more files, my directories will disappear again. I've tried 2 different brand SD cards with the same results on both. I've used both Astro and ES to view the cards but it doesn't make a difference. I've even used and external card reader and copied files directly to the card. Still no luck. Please help. This is driving me crazy. Could this be a problem with the phone itself? I don't get it...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
Well if you have used an external sd reader without success then the problem is not your phone. Your saying if you copy files to your sd,you cant see them after? So it doesn't copy from an external reader?

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

I strongly believe the problem is the format of your card or your computer.

If you are transferring files from your external sd reader and if its still there when you check,but gone when you insert it in your phone. Then I also strongly believe that you are looking in

/sdcard directory which you should actually be looking at /sdcard/ext_sd/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] troublefunk:
I'm saying that no matter if I use an external card reader, SD adapter, or connect the phone directly with a USB cable, the files I copy to the card will disappear "magically" once I dismount the card from the PC and attempt to read on the phone. Usually this is the case. But like I said, a handful of times, the files were where I put them, but disappeared the next time I tried to copy more files to the card. And no I'm not looking in the wrong directory. I know the difference between the sdcard and ext_sd folders.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
What brand of cards are they? Do you have the same problem with cards of a smaller capacity?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aliwho:
This looks like a problem with your computer settings. With some configurations, if you don't explicitly eject/unmount the drive from the PC, it won't actually move the files. It will only truly copy them when you begin the eject process.
