Corrupted microsd card please help

[Guest bignred84]

Hi, newbie here

been trying to root and install rom on my new San Francisco

I'd like to think I got the first bit right, I had a superuser app , so I assume that was correct

however trying to install the rom tonight it appears I've corrupted the micro sd card

anyone got any sensible suggestions please to get me back up and running

thanks

Stick it in a PC.

have since tried several times to format the card, replace with new files

which someone has sent me

a few things

I still get a message on my phone stating no sd card

when I format the card, it states the size as 45.8mb

yet its supposed to be a 2gb micro sd card

anyone shed any light on what's gone wrong

In a PC, or in the phone?

In a PC, or in the phone?

when I connect the phone via the usb to PC

I get the instruction to format the card, I then format the card

however having tried this several times, after every format there's a about 4 or 4 files which don't appear to be be deleted

when I put the micro sd card in a card reader I can do a full (and clean) format with nothing left on the card

I have then copied the files from someone else san francisco, but I still get a message on my phone of no sd card

I'm going round the bend here,

something els that appears odd to me, when I format the card, it states size as 45.8mb

yet the card is supposed to be a 2 GB card

anyone explain this

is it possible to do a factory reset/restore then start again

or shall I send the phone back

Sounds like you have multiple linux partitions on the sdcard and windows can only view the fat32 partition.

If you have a linux setup you can view and delete all the partitions. You can then put into windows and format as fat32 or whatever you wish.

thanks for the reply,however I was only using my windows 7 laptop during all this

can't understand how linux would be on card

[Guest mike557]

The phone is linux based and uses linux as well as windows files systems.

just a thought try formatting with windows making sure it set in the unit size to default allocation and reset it back to defaults ?? obviously if you already tried this then no idea sorry :P

Use Minitool Partition Wizard (home edition), then you can change partitions and make EXT2/EXT3 partitions in Windows.
