hello everyone, i just got my HTC Mogul (Sprint PPC-6800) and i love the device, except for the memory card i have is corrupt and i cant format it. any file i put on there, program, music, anything gets corrupted and wont work. I cant delete the my documents folder that is the only file on there and is what i believe is causing the corruption, does anyone know how to fix this?
Try formatting it on your pc?
Like he said, you might have to use a media card reader on the pc side to format it.
I tried that and it doesnt work on the PC, it says Windows cannot format the device. Any other way to do it?
put it in a camera? do you have an adaptor?
Might be time to go back to the store
SD Card Failure on Sprint Mogul
I'm sorry you've run into the same problem I have.. Its the micro SD card that has failed. You may be able to get a little longer use from it doing what I did but ultimately you need a new micro SD card.
I got one of the cheap chinese MP4/MP5 players that use SD cards and used an SD card reader with my micro SD card in it..
If you don't use this your PC will refuse to have anything to do with your micro SD card.
I formatted the disc with the player and then used my laptop to format it again to FAT32 at least 16 sectors. This woke the micro SD card, it still has I/O errors and it misbehaves a lot but its at last usable and its 2GB can retain 800MB. It will hold until I get a new card...
The moral is to save your backups to your PC so you can buy a new card and restore to it..

My 4GB SD card was working flawlessly, both on my XDA EXEC and PC via a card reader, however now, when I put the card into the card reader, it says "the disk is not formatted", and asks me to format. If I click yes, I recieve an error. The strange this is that it is working fine in my XDA EXEC.
Does anyone have any solutions?
i would try another flash reader on a pc
some very cheap flash readers i've had exp with have
showed to be worth what i payed for them
which was not alot
i had them spontainious format sd cards
i had them copy files to it which later on was absent
i had them currupt data already on the card
these days i mainly tryst my sandisk sd 8-1 reader it's been good to me
I have the same issue, its a Kingston 2Gb Elite Pro SD Card, no problems using it fresh from the package in my XDAIIi, but both my home and office pc cant read it through my Billionton card reader (few years old). My friends notebook have no problems with it though in its built in card reader.
At first i thought it was the format, so i formated it with my XDAIIi but still my pc cant read it. So i guess its the card reader. Yet to get another cause not sure which brand would work *sigh
I am having a problem finding thins in "Files" and "Astro" on Tmo GS2. This is a general ? that could happen to me or anyone on any phone, I assume, so I put here. I hope its ok
I just upgraded to a 32gb sd card class 4. I was told it was good. Its a
Sandisk. I was going for a class 10, but people said it was not only not necessary, but it would slow down occasionally ... but be fabulous with games and video
regardless of that, i then looked for a class 6 Only found no names and someone said its better to have a Sandisk at a lower class than one class higher from a no name'
Well I don't know if that has to do with my problem. I can't find things. I search, nothing. I use Astro, now this is weird. Nothing. I plug into the computer, it is listing the phone as TWO separate drives. THis has never happened to me in the past and never heard it mentioned
I am sure it is nothing wrong, but a settingn somewhere and I can get all the files combined
also, I am assuming all of those file explorers on the phone cannot look into the hard drive of the phone? Is that correct, no other excuse? And this other "drive" I am speaking of, one can only assume it is the hard drive
Well in any case, if anyone could straighten me out, help me, etc.. I'd be most grateful
happy Halloween All

I have the same problem on my eeepad transformer
I bought a 32 GB microSD card from Trascendent. When I nstall apps that are supposed to be installed on the external SD card it does not do that. It goes to the internal SD card. When I sync it with my PC it shows both devices. The SD card is completely empty except for a folder that reads LostDir. How can I get the external SD working?
Any pros or mods, please correct me if needed.
The GS2 does it differently keeping them separately
You can choose on your phone which apps to store on phone or sd card. You can go to settings/apps/ and select move to sd card etc.
some, however will not go there no matter whatt
when you go to usb mode on the puter, you will see two drives show up
One is SD CARD - this is actually your PHONE
The OTHER is labeled EXT. SD CARD (for external) - This is the actual inserted sd card
On the SD Card, you will see in its contents in the computer window the external sd folder within the sd card
...even tho, on the far left (windows 7 and others) you will see the two drives listed separately
That is the best I can do. I understand it enough that it works. I may even understand it better than that but just not able to explain it
Enjoy
Ok so I searched the forum and google and I can't seem to find anything that answers my specific issue. So here are the details,
I have a PNY micro SDHC 8GB Class 4 card I had used on my old Sanyo Zio one day the phone informed me that it was corrupted so I formatted the card with my Zio and after before the phone completed the format it shut itself off and started bootlooping. The phone would not stay on without a mounted SD card. I removed the card and put in my 4GB backup sd card and the phone started to work again. I sold the Zio a few weeks ago with the 4GB card and upgraded myself to a HTC Droid Incredible I turned it on and inserted the 8GB PNY card and the phone would not recognize it.
So I grabbed my card reader and attempted to format it on my PC running windows vista when I insert the reader it picks up the drive but when I click Open it comes back with "Please insert disk into drive H:" The card reader is functional and the driver is up to date and it is in the locked position. If I right click I can choose format and set it to Fat file system and it comes back with the error "Windows was not able to complete the format."
Also if I go into properties it will not show the size of the card or any data on it because its unable to detect the drive. I obviously cannot mount the SD card to format it on my phone because it will not find the SD card at all. I've heard there is a way to format using Linux but I am not familiar with Linux but I am an experienced user with PC and by no means incapable of learning I know my fair share and can learn Linux if this would be a viable solution I just need a point in the right direction. Thanks for any help is MUCH appreciated! Cheers!
Card is a Sandisk 128GB Ultra MicroSDXC A1 card.
Card is formatted exFAT.
Card can be mounted, opened, and read/write with no problems via my laptop when plugged directly (SD slot).
Android (LG G5, LineageOS 15.1) says card is corrupt, is trying to make me format. Card initially set up as "Portable Storage".
Took FOREVER to move music onto this card, as artists had to be moved one at a time or transfers would fail, so I'm trying to avoid formatting.
I've tried rebooting the phone, repairing the file system using TWRP Wipe command (fails with error code 1), and mounting with a clean eject via Windows 10 on my laptop using the SD card slot. Nothing has made an impact, stupid phone still won't allow me to use the card.
If anyone has any ideas why this is happening, or how I could potentially fix this without having to wipe the card, I would appreciate it. This thing has been a PITA since I got it, I thought it would be awesome having such expandable storage on my phone (I'm a weirdo who doesn't use streaming services) but I've had nothing but problems so far. I have to be careful with how I transfer files onto the card or the transfer will take an (appropriately) long time, act like it works, but then the file just won't be there. Now I've finally gotten the card loaded up, and after a routine phone reboot a few days ago, the Android OS is trying to say it's corrupt; This is also making me worry that this will continue being an issue in the future.
Running "chkdsk E: /r" on my laptop is revealing a couple minor corruptions inside the directory, and volume bitmap. It's hanging on verification/completing now.
Is it possible that I have a bad SD card? This thing has seriously done nothing but suck since I've been trying to use it.
Edit: Unless someone tells me otherwise, I'm pretty sure this is a bogus/defective SD card. I simply cannot believe that flash memory would perform this badly. I'm going to return this card (bit of a PITA since I ordered it online) and buy another one locally.
Hello:
I don't understand why My phone does not recognize my Micro SD Card. It has been like that since I bought it four years ago. It didn't work with the SD Card that came with the phone, and even when I bought another one it still didn't work. On the contrary, the card is recognizable by my computer, and when I inserted it in to the phone, using a card reader, it was recognized. But when I put it back in to the SD slot on top of the first SIM slot, it doesn't get recognized.
Please what can be done about this problem. My phone storage is already full. It is just 8GB.
Thanks for your anticipated help.
Can you find the menu item of 'Format' in your 'Settings - Storage - SD card'?

Hello:
I've gone through the article you referred me to. The SD card is recognizable on the computer as I did inform you in that post, so I tried reformatting the card.
But when I visited the link on formatting the SD card, I got this message: You don't have permission to access /EN/Fat32Formatter/ on this server.
So, what else can I do.
How can I find the the menu item of formatting my storage settings of Micro SD card.
Try this
SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac | SD Association
www.sdcard.org
Hello again:
I've formatted my micro SD card with the link you gave me, but the card is still unrecognizable or undetected by the phone. I remember I did the formatting about a year ago.
I am convinced that the problem is a hard ware one, considering the fact that the card can be detected by another phone and the computer. It was detected on my phone when I inserted it in to a card reader and plugged it in to my phone with the OTG cable. But when I put it back in to the SD card slot, it was not detected.
So, the question now is: what can I do now? how can I increase the storage of my phone. My phone internal storage is now full, and I cannot delete any apps.
What other methods can I try out. Or is there a way of fixing the micro SD slot?
The phone came that way. I didn't care to check the SD card slot before the warranty expired.

have you tried going on your Phone setting and searching for the word "SD"
that would show SD card size and option to format it and such
or perhaps have you tried insert other SD card or SD card socket itself has issue?
Inspect the SD bay contacts. Clean card contacts with isopropyl alcohol/cloth and don't touch them with your fingers.
Make sure it's properly seating in the phone.
Try a hard reboot the phone with the card in it.
Try another card.
Whatever app the device uses for storage control check there to see your options.
In the 10+ it's under Device Care>storage>SD card page 3 dots upper right corner.
If it gives you the option to format it, do so. You will lose any data on the card but it should functional then.
It's best to format the card in the device first before using it.
