This worked for me on my Gentoo box. I'm now able to read/write to the SD card from Linux. But now the G1 cannot see any of my files. It's very interesting. I can see the files in both Windows and Linux through USB. But the phone can't see them. And even stranger - I used the Amazon store to buy a song and it downloaded fine and saved to the SD card. I can see the Amazon files when I use the Android file manager. But they are completely hidden on both Windows and Linux.

has to be permissions. Its always permissions... if you havent found it by now.. its been a long time.. sry for bumping an old thread.

suppose you don't have that on your phone? "Format SD card"

i) Get a micro SD adapter
ii) unmount your microSD card and take out of phone
iii) put your micro SD card into your adapter and put into your computer's card reader (if you have one)
iv) go to "my computer" and right click on the SD card
v) select "format"

I have sort of the same problem.
I have tried to format my MicroSD card but it says that there is no card, that I need to add a card.
What does that mean? What do i do?

I've fixed your post, no charge.


Also, I think your card could be screwed - Buy a new one.

Just connect you card to your desktop or laptop, then you can format the card on your computer.

First of all, you have to go run and type cmd there and press enter. Then you must type format j: where j is the Micro SD then follow the steps and this is done.
