Unable to Mount Samsung Adapter/MicroSD Card about godmode9 HOT 17 CLOSED

None of these two is the MBR. Can you doublecheck? There actually IS a possibility your SD card does not contain an MBR, and that may be the reason behind all trouble.

Here's something new to try.

GodMode9 with FATFS updated to R0.12c (most recent release):
https://transfer.sh/UXoZa/GodMode9-20170421-101120.zip

Last GodMode9 release using the same FATFS library as D9:
https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/tag/v0.5.1

EDIT: Also, you say Luma 3DS works? In the most recent version? (that's v7.0.1). Does the chainloader work? Note: Luma 3DS uses FATFS R0.12c also.

EDIT2: Doublechecking means, check you actually used the physical drive to extract that sector.

Okay... third time's the charm. You may want to try this first, before the other two.
https://transfer.sh/SrNK0/GodMode9-20170421-103329.zip

This may, or may not fix your problem. If it does, we're not finished, cause it breaks other stuff, and I will still need your help testing.

from godmode9.

Okay, dammit. I hoped it would be easier... Can you work your way up from that working release? Just try all releases until you find the one where it stops working. Might be the next one, but I doubt so.

from godmode9.

Okay, two more testbuilds that you can try:

https://transfer.sh/ar1Oc/SafeCTRTransfer-20170422-105347.zip
This is SafeCTRTransfer, but the actual transfer is stubbed. Nothing will be installed to your system, and it should even stop once A9LH is detected. Run it and pay attention to the bottom screen.

https://transfer.sh/fRRkB/GodMode9-20170422-105800.zip
This is GodMode9 with parts of its source code replaced by Luma 3DS source code (which apparently has working file system functions).

Might make most sense to try the new GM9 test build first, then the SafeCTRTransfer one, then work your way up from releases. If any of these work, we're, again, not finished. And thanks for help with this!

Fixed in a8bf80e

Nothing more to test here, thanks @Linden10 !

Normally I'd recommend formatting the card in GM9. One other thing you could try is, try older releases of GM9, see if one works. Also, try Horglass9 and Decrypt9 and see if the SD card works in that.

from godmode9.

Hmm...I have tried an older release of GodMode9, 1.0.0 and it didn't work on that one, I may try other releases to see if it works.

Oh and I haven't tried Decrypt9 yet but as you recommended, I just tried the
newest version of Hourglass9 and it successfully initialized my SD Card, actually
everything worked perfectly well.

Maybe the older releases, maybe...
I'll report my findings to you d0k3!

As for formatting...I have a question if I may ask.
What default format does GodMode9 use to format cards?

That is all and thanks for responding!

EDIT: I just tested the newest version of Decrypt9 (WIP) and it also sucessfully
initialized my SD Card, loading up with no issues at all!

Interesting indeed, now I'll go check the older versions of GodMode9 and
see if one of them can load up the SD Card if at all! I'll report back on the first
version that loads it up or not at all!

from godmode9.

Okay, here's something else you can try, a GodMode9 test build:
https://transfer.sh/FZzQp/GodMode9-20170420-105119.zip

Can you run this and tell me what additional output you get?

from godmode9.

Ah a test build, how interesting!

Okay I just put it and loaded up GM9 as usual through Luma and...
I got this as out:

"SD init fail: 13"

I wonder what kind of debugging code this will need.
Anyways here ya go, that's all I got and hope this helps!

I'm here when you need anything!

from godmode9.

Yeah, that's a FATFS error code and it means no filesystem found. No good, but at least it's a start. Can you maybe show me the MBR of your SD card? That's the first 512 byte, HxD can extract it, but make sure you look at the physical (= not logical) drive. FAT header helps, too, that's the first 512 byte of the logical drive.

EDIT: there haven't been any additional messages besides this one, right?

from godmode9.

Ah the MBR, sure I'll get it for ya! I actually know how to use HxD as I use it a lot myself.
Oh yeah no other messages besides that one popped up. Yup!

Interesting that GM9 didn't detect the FS, indeed a start!
BRB with the bytes.

EDIT:

I attached this comment with two files containing the first 512-bytes of the MBR physical drive and FAT header of the logical drive. Hope this helps!

[Hmm...both seem to look the same, oh way here ya go!]

Samsung-mSD-Logical-512Bytes.txt
Samsung-mSD-Physical-512Bytes.txt

from godmode9.

I attached a gif I made showing that the sectors on both the physical [Removable Disk 1] and
logical [3DS (H:)] disks to prove that sector 0 are the same.

To answer your question about Luma, yes the newest version of Luma v7.0.1 works and so does the chainloader as that's what I used to load Decrypt9, Hourglass9 and GodMode9.

I thank your for helping and for your concerns on this, I'll attempt those builds you suggested and reply with the results on them. I'll do the one you recommend first before the others.

See ya until then friend.

from godmode9.

...Ah i'm back! Just less then 10 mins and I'm done hehe!

Here are the results d03k!

GodMode9 Build 20170421-103329 [Third one you suggested] - SD Init Failed: 13

GodMode9 Build 20170421-101120 - SD Init Failed: 13

GodMode9 v0.5.1 - Successfully Initializes SD-Card and able to explore it.
Shows the correct storage amount of the SD Card and everything.

Interesting results indeed!
Hopefully this helps ya out d0k3!

I'll be here when you need anything.

from godmode9.

Alright, back and ready to go!

I've tested the builds past v0.5.1 and just finished trying out your newest build you posted
above and your safectrtransfer build.

I'll start with the builds starting from v0.5.1...
Unfortunately, all the builds past v0.5.1 have failed to
init the SD Card.

I tested builds v0.6.6 thru v1.0.6.
All of them gave the same message.

(Just know that v1.0.7 was the first time I used GM9, the errors exist on that as well as v1.1.2)

As for your test build version 20170422-105800...it also gave me the same
message. But SafeCTRTransfer...it worked!

It successfully seen my SD Card and was able to display the amount of free space and total space!
As you said, it didn't transfer anything hehe but it's good news that it works!

It also detected A9LH of course.
Anyways there's still a lot of work ahead to getting GM9 to work with my SD.

I again thank you for helping, tell me anything you like to do next!
See ya for now. =D

from godmode9.

Okay, here's a test build with a possible fix (this one has a high chance of success):
https://transfer.sh/f09i4/GodMode9-20170423-113856.zip
This will most likely break SD formatting, so more work is ahead even if that one should work.

Also try this D9WIP test build - the expected result for this is a SD init failure:
https://transfer.sh/cy99A/Decrypt9WIP-20170423-115034.zip

from godmode9.

Okay, one more... this might be our solution to all the SD mount issues, on top breaking nothing at all. Please try it and give me feedback:
https://transfer.sh/dmWWR/GodMode9-20170423-234949.zip

from godmode9.

Okay here again, thanks!
Here are the results!

GM9-Build 20170423-113856 - My SD-Card is successfully initialized and am able to explore too!
It took sometime for GM9 to load but still it works! (It's loading time being due to the size of my SD-Card hehe)

Now for your Decrypt9-WIP Build 20170423-115034 - As you expected, the SD-Card initialization failed.
Indeed it has.

Now for the last GM9 build you posted above - Hehehe...nyhahaha it WORKS!!! It's works! The SD-Card Initialized successfully! I'm able to explore it and everything too! GM9 takes sometime to load like before due to my SDCard size but still it works!

Looks like we're making a breakthrough to the problem!
Still if there's more work to be done, I'm ready to help ya!
Just tell me whatever you need, anyways see ya for now!
