I'm on a rooted LG Marquee. I've been using Monster's ROM and before that Playful God's ROM. I just got a new Sandisk Class 4 32gb MicroSD card, which I formatted into FAT32. While the phone recognizes the card and works with it fine -- Clockwork (CWM) does not want to play nice.

To be specific, CWM does recognize the card and can mount it, but all other functions fail. For example, I can't do a backup (it gets to "backing up system" then stops). I can't restore from a CWM copied to the card. I can't even fix permissions without a stall.

All of these functions work great with my 16gb card.

Any ideas? Anyone using a 32gb card in this phone?

Thanks for any replies.

 

Thanks. Tried that. Stalled.

 

Damn! That's the same exact one I bought. It did not work for me.

Hmmm. I know you guys are both rooted and on either PG's or Monster's ROM. Not sure what the problem could be. Are you on Sprint?

 

I did get it from Amazon (I was worried about the other sellers) -- even had them send a second one b/c I thought the problem was with the first one!

I used the formatter on a Mac. Then that didn't work and I used command prompt on Windows.

Sheet!

 

I'm not sure I did this right. Do I just re-run these instructions from here:

adb shell su adb push Files/cwmrecovery.img /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=4096

Or is there a different way to reflash CWM?

 

After many and various efforts, it now stalls at "Restoring .android_secure . . . " The very last step!

Any ideas?

 

None. All that's on the SD card when I start the Restore is the clockworkmod folder and a few Android system folders. I wipe all files before doing the backup (cache/user data-system/Davlik). Is there something that remains in that folder after these are wiped and the SD card is bare (other than the clockworkmod folder)?

 

I don't think it existed on the SD Card before I tried the restore. Maybe I'm doing this wrong? Basically, I formatted the card in FAT32. Then I put it in the phone and made sure it worked. Then I copied over a clockworkmod restore folder with a single nandroid backup. Then I boot into CWM, wipe everything, and restore the nandroid backup. That nandroid backup probably does have an .android_secure folder in it -- certainly by the time the backup is done it does (after it stalls on recovery, I restart it and the backup has been generally restored, but without full operation).

I appreciate your help -- do you know of a better way to do this?

 

I'm no longer sure its CWM. I tried wiping the card entirely and starting with a new ROM (Marky Beats). I read on a few websites that you can tell whether your card is working by opening Camera and trying to take a picture. Even after wiping the card every which way I can think of (Windows, OSX, using the sdcard.org formatter, the phone's own erase function), the Camera says: "Please insert an SD Card before using the camera." I can get it to work by going into settings and unmounting and mounting. But any sort of reboot or boot into recovery destroys whatever connection the card and the phone made to each other.

If you have any ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I give up!

 

I think that must be right: but this is the second one from Amazon. The first one was bad too. Oh well, back it goes!

 

OK - definitely not the SD Card. I'm on my third one now -- this time a different brand. Same thing happens.

Anyone out there have a clue what might be causing this. I'm on the Marky ROM (Sprint). No other mods. I did try to go back to ZV9 stock ROM, just in case it was the ROM, but that didn't work.

 

Thanks Bionic. I actually did not format them right off the bat. Like you, I just inserted and thought it would work. But it didn't, and the phone said to format it. So I did -- at least on the first two, using both the formatter program from sdcard.org and the phone. On this last card, though, I decided its not the disk, so I haven't even tried to reformat it.
