SIM cards can screw up by themselves, I had had this problem some time ago, not the messages one, but my phone couldn't find networks at all. It was just once, I bought another SIM and nevermore had this problem
[Motorola Droid RAZR] assassin34:
moto OTA updates damages sim card i mean it does something which messes up sim's functionality....like there is a flag which sends confirmation on recieval of message to server so it is assumed that msg is delivered ...but in our cases that flag is not set meaning server thinks that message is not delivered and hence keeps on sending.....so taking new sim will restore that and hence the problem is gone....SO NEXT TIME ON OTA REMOVE SIM AND UPDATE.....

I am running Cyanogenmod 9.1 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, WiFi IR version. Does anyone definitively know how to run your apps from the external SD card? I have tried numerous workarounds but all have failed to produce any results, I have no idea where the problem even resides. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sawdoctor:
I've the same problem with directory bind, its an issue with the multi user on the ROMs. The emulated SD card messes everything up I think
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] shinobisoft:
Have you tried Link2SD?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] babyrammer:
I think you might be right, that seems to be the error I get when I try to use App 2 SD.

I went and got Link 2 SD, followed all the instructions (partitioned my external SD into 2 primary FAT32 parts) and it told me I was able to move apps, but I get error messages whenever I try [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE] which I don't really understand, I have plenty of space.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] shinobisoft:
Your second partition really needs to be ext3 or ext4. Primary partition fat32
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] babyrammer:
Root2SD says in its instructions FAT32 should work, which is why I tried that first. When I did EXT3 and EXT4 it told me it couldn't mount it as it isn't compatible with my device :/ I even tried to manually mount it in Clockworkmod but even after that I got the same error messages.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] shinobisoft:
What are you using to partition your sdcard with? Hopefully not CWM. If you are, try TWRP instread. There is also a Windows tool "Mini Partition" I think that is also recommended for that task.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] babyrammer:
Actually I was just using Mini Partition, I saw it recommended somewhere else.
[HTC One X] dreamonn:
Can someone just confirm that this is the correct process for updating the HBOOT on my HTC One X from 0.95 to 1.3x (I'm unsure about step 5 & 6)

1. Determine the CID of my phone using

fastboot oem readcid

The phone reports

cid: HTC__001

which according to this means it is a HTC-WWE.

2. Download the latest HTC One X ROM from HTCdev which is endeavoru-jb-crc-3.1.10-e8d900a.zip

3. Copy the ROM to the phone

4. Relock the bootloader using

fastboot oem lock

5. Go into fastboot mode and type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

6. Flash the new firmware using

fastboot flash zip endeavoru-jb-crc-3.1.10-e8d900a.zip

On first time running the command will report FAILED, don't panic and just run the command again.

7. Reunlock the bootloader via HTCDev.

8. Flash a custom recovery using

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

9. Download the CM10.1 ROM & extract the boot.img from the zip

10. Boot into recovery & install the ROM

11. Install the Google Addon

12. Boot into boot loader using

adb reboot bootloader

and use fastboot to flash the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

.

13. Use

fastboot erase cache

14. Reboot and enjoy
[HTC One X] Guich:
Warning

At 2 step, you have to donwload the zip from here and not the source of kernel!!!

And in 6 step you have to use: "fastboot flash zip "name_of_zip.zip"
[HTC One X] pbh4:
Don't forget that you will have to unlock your bootloader at the end of all this (assuming you want to do that) and this will probably erase all your data again so back it up, including the SD card.
[HTC One X] taggart1:
There is a firmware flashing tool in the development section that makes it easy!
[HTC One X] dreamonn:
I've found a post here which describes the procedure step by step.
[HTC One X] Guich:
You can do as you described using the file I linked...

without use a ruu :)
[HTC One X] det66:
Does that mean if you flash the exact matching cid file from your link you don't have to follow the steps above? re relocking the phone and unlocking etc?
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Why the heck are you trying to flash the kernel source in fastboot? There are instructions everywhere and in none of them say that you must go near kernel source

If you just want to update Hboot:

1. relock bootloader 'fastboot oem lock'

2. check cid: fastboot getvar cidnum

3. download firmware.zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957376

4. in fastboot mode, type: fastboot oem rebootRUU

5. flash the firmware.zip using: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

6. Reunlock your bootloader: fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

7. reflash custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>

If you want to install ROM after:

8. flash boot.img of ROM

9. go to recovery and flash ROM

10. done
[HTC One X] Guich:
No.

You have to use this procedure, but whit the firmware.zip that you can found at the link i linked, and not whit kernel source.

If you see the OP, you can see that he want upgrade his hboot with kernel source, and he's wrong.

You have to use the firmware.zip that you can found at the link that i have linked.

All the rest of procedure is right :)

I want to know if anyone else is having this problem with Samsung devices:

1. Download an Amazon song (*.mp3).

2. Put it on your devices. The SD Card in my case.

3. It never shows up except in file system browsers.

I had two songs that weren't showing up. One had no tag. Putting one on it solved the problem.

The other was a fully tagged song I got from Amazon. I deleted the Amazon ID in the comments and like magic it starts showing up as well.

ReAlLy???

I don't know what to think about this. Either it is an anti-competion practice on the part of Samsung or it is simply an old tag format that is no longer supported or it is a Google/Android measure to keep vendors from compromizing a user's privacy by tracking such Ids.

Does anybody know what this is really about?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
I have a

SanDisk Ultra 32 GB microSD HC-I

card that I use in my Transformer Infinity tablet as a storage device. I had it setup as (1) 32 Gig FAT32 partition.

Well I messed around with the partition on it the other day and it no longer would work. I decided to just wipe the stick and create a new 32 GB FAT32 Partition.

The thing is, now all (partition) tools I have used says it is only a 30 MB stick and in a

"RAW"

format !!???

I have tried:

Windows 7 (64bit) Drive Manager

and get this this result:

.

[B]C:\Users\John>chkdsk /X /F S:
The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.[/B]

==========================================

Mini Tool Partition Wizard with this result

:

==========================================

Easues Partition Wizard Shows this:

==========================================

I know the sectors must be messed up. I have tried a Low Level Format but it just tells me that 30MB is to small to Low Level Format.

What can I do to make the 32 Gig micro stick show up as 32 Gig (fat32) not 30 MB ??

Please help if you can.... I will try anything. I do not have Linux installed, but supose I could if needed.

Thanks !!!

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
OK, at least the operating systems agree that your card has lost 99.9% of its capacity.

Some users with similar problems used the "official" formatting tool to recover, you could try that first:

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

If that doesn't work, we can try something with hdparm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Been there done that :p I have tried about 10 different formating/partitioning applications.

Odd thing with that one is that it says my card is "

LOCKED

" which it is not !

I am not even using the micro card addaptor that has the lock tab on the side. (I dont have a media reader

only USB readers that I always use with zero problems. Also I have tried another micro card with this usb adapter

and it works just fine) I use a MicroSD card-to-USB adapter that has

no locking feature

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I have to start with a warning - I don't know if this will work at all. I can only give you some ideas what you could try.

First get a decent bootable Linux distribution that has all the required tools, I recommend this one: http://www.sysresccd.org/

(it also has gparted and lots of other good tools - this bootable CD or USB stick should be in every household ;)). Write to a USB stick or burn a CD and boot it. If you want, start the graphical desktop (read the instructions after booting) - then you can easily paste the output of the following commands into the browser (mark with the mouse, then middle-click into the edit window on the "new post" page to paste).

Then open a terminal and find out which device name Linux gives to your card (/dev/sdX, where X is some letter). If you don't know, you can do one of the following:

- run "dmesg" after plugging in the USB adapter and read the last few lines where it detects the drive and partition(s).

- run "fdisk -l" (that's a lowercase "L") to list all partitions on all disks. One of the "disks" should be your card.

- run gparted.

Next, run "hdparm -I /dev/sdX" (that's an uppercase "I", and X must of course be replaced with what you found out in the previous step). If you get a lot of info, that's good so far. If not, post the error message you are getting - it might be that hdparm doesn't work via USB or at least not via your adapter.

If that worked, the next thing to try is check for a host protected area. I don't know if SD cards can have a HPA at all - I know normal hard drives and SSDs do, so let's just try. Run "hdparm -N /dev/sdX" and post the output.

There is another command line switch "--dco-restore" that might help in your case - or not. I honestly don't know, and it may even permanently brick your card.

Read the output of "man hdparm" to find out about all these options. Note that it says for some of them "EXTREMELY DANGEROUS" - do not take this lightly, hdparm is an incredibly powerful tool. Make sure you always enter the *correct* device name, do not inadvertently apply any of the "dangerous" options to your hard drive. Mistyping one of the "dangerous" commands (e.g. saying /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb) can lead to total data loss on your PC. I can guide you, but you do all this on your own risk.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Hi again -

Yes of course I know this is all my own risk ;) The card is useless in the present state, so if it bricks it completly then the garbage can is only 5 feet away from me.

I do not have Linux installed on my tower ... but I can install it on my laptop. I will do all you mentioned above and paste my results here. It has been a while

since I used Linux ... so my Linux Knoweledge is so-so at best, so thank you for listing the commands. It might be a few hours till I have the results but I shall return !

Once again thank you .. I posted in many forums around the web, and you are the only one that has tried to help :highfive:

Look for my reply later .... cheer's :good:

[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Personally, I would just replace the card, even if I could fixed it, I won't trust it anymore. For little over 20$, give you a piece of mind!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
I agree with you 100 percent ... but there are some photos on there I would like to keep and few songs it would be hard to find again . plus I just like the feeling of fixing something that's broke even if it's going to break again.

Cheers :highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I now did some tests with hdparm - both on my Linux machine with a USB3 (Kingston) card reader and on the TF700 with its microSD slot. In both cases, hdparm reported "invalid argument" - apparently hdparm cannot work with MMC/SD cards at all. Actually not that surprising, because it was designed to support SATA/PATA/SAS devices, and MMC is a different subsystem - but it was worth a try and at least now I know it doesn't work.

I also researched the issue on the internet - there are multiple reports from users having the same "30.6 MB" problem, but no solutions. Now I am officially out of ideas how to save your card.

At least I learned a *lot* about SD cards (and most of that also applies to our internal eMMC). This page is a gem -> https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelArchived/Projects/FlashCardSurvey

None of it works.

P.S. TESTDISK shows "No End Partition"

I keep the SD in card reader for 3 hrs and suddenly windows prompt "Auto Play" for that drive.

I got my data back.

My conclusion is your data still on the SD card. just the partition table crashed or the SD card has been locked out some how.

I contacted Sandisk regarding this matter and they said I had only 2 things to do.

1. For data recovery, I had to send the microSD to this company that recovers loss data from damaged storage devices.

2. If you dont mind the lost data, send the disk directly to Sandisk service center to get a replacement. Do this if you cannot get it replaced by the store from which you purchased the microSD.

I just sent mine to Taiwan to have it replaced, and I am in Indonesia, and I had my friend buy the microSD for me from Amazon.

Patience is the name of the game...

I tried all the methods mentioned in this thread and in other forums. I tried different recovery software to no resolution. Tried all the <Diskpart> commands... but no matter what I did I could only see 30.1MB on my Transcend microSD (32GB Class4, 3 yrs old). In the process I saw all the error msgs- "No usable free extent could be found' 'Windows was unable to format' etc...

And then suddenly the miracle happened.... 'patience pays' i guess... :)

I think this is what everyone should try 1st before trying to format or erase data or buy a new card. Definitely worth trying...

1-Insert the microSD into a card reader

2-Plugin the card reader into your PC (mine-Win7 32bit)- (most definitely you'll see the error pop-ups.. just close them!!

3-Leave the card reader connected to the PC for couple of hours... (3-8hrs)

4-Don't switch off your PC & Voila!! Suddenly now Windows can read the entire 32GB (with all folder structure & data intact, Read/Write-1)

5-Now you can recover all your data, then do a complete reformat... the microSD is fresh as factory...

Just to be sure about this to be a plausible solution, I didn't retrieve or reformat, i just plugged it out and back in. I repeated the steps above for 5 times and again it was 30 MB & gave me same errors in 'cmd'. HOwever, to my surprise all the 5 times this solution worked. Now my SD is clean & working as new, in phone as well... :)

I think ,due to some reason (age, virus, bad device etc) only the 1st few sectors (necessary to read the chip or that has chip's info) have changed from FAT to RAW. Hence, the errors. So ideally the sectors with data are intact. Windows takes time to get through, but to the card's surprise it does...

I hope this helps... Sorry for my layman lingo... cheers!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] silvanet:
The correct solution

I realize this is an old thread and that most of you are probably more familiar with Linux than Windows, but there is a very simple and easy solution that has been around since Windows XP days.

Windows has a command named diskpart.exe

Plug in your micro SD card

You open a command prompt by typing cmd.

Then type diskpart

When you get back the prompt reading DISKPART>

type list disk

if you're not sure which disk it is, remove your card and repeat the command

once you know which is your sd card, type select disk # (where # is the number of your disk)

you can see all the diskpart commands here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766465(v=ws.10).aspx

the command "clean" deletes all data on the sd card

"create partition primary" creates a new partition on the sd card

"format quick" makes quick FAT32 format of the sd card

Now, your Windows will correctly recognize its size.
