My pulse wont read my sd card!!

[Guest Daniel Williamson]

Hi everyone, i was running out of memory on my phone to store apps so i decided to use the ext partition on the recovery menu but something went wrong and now my phone wont read my sd card, i have formated my card both FAT and FAT32 with no luck and also done a complete system reset so any help would be great.

Thanks

how did you partition it exactly?

First, make a backup of your data.

Then re - format your SD Card with the recovery mode.

Use no swap, 512+ MB EXT and the remaining size will be formatted in FAT32.

Don't try to format the card with your PC - I think this won't work as the ext partition has to be the first partition on the SD card.

no, you choose 'partition sd card'. The formatting will be done automatically.

This also helped me, so I just wanted to thank you all for that =) I thought I was smoked!
