Connected my USB to my phone to do an update. Computer said there was aproblem reading my SD Card, so I unmounted and got a notification in the Notification bar stating SD Card Damage. When I clicked on it, it gave me only one option REFORMAT SD CARD....hit home went to setting, SD Card and it showed no space available, but there was still 52MB of Memory on the phone.
only option higlighted was Format SD Card. Tried plugging SD Card in my card reader and got same error. So I said screw it. I formatted the SD Card from the selection on the G1 and now when i reboot it stays stuck in the first boot screen. It won't do anything else.
I had JFv1.5 ADP A2SD on the phone.
Thinking I may have to buy a new SD Card and then a nandroid recovery.
Any other suggestions before I do that.

I had the same problem...
was sure i needed a new SD card, but i ended up downloading a sd formatting tool (i think it was from panasonics website)... and that got the card back working, no other attempts at low level formatting, re-formatting, any tries to delete partitions, nothing...
the only thing that finally worked was this SD card formatting tool...
you'll sadly probbaly need to reflash your phone, which i also had to do...
but, I did end up with the 1.5 update....

I have a samsung epic on android 2.1. I used to have the sd card damaged problem. I had to backup everyday for fear of losing information. I saw on one forum a note about upgrading to a Class 4 sd card. I went to frys and they only had class 10 in 16gb (about $40). I purchased and I have not had this problem since!!!
Problem: SD Card error
Problem Solved: Trash the Class 2 sd card that came with the phone and get class 4 or higher.
Woohoo!

i have a 8gb class 2 sd card. When i remove and reinsert the card the card is not read. Even if i put another card it is not read. I have to reboot the phone to amke it work. Any ideas. I reflashed to jf 1.41. Provlem after that.
if this happens with more than one SDcard then i'm guessing it's the phone thats messing up, not the card. in which case, all i can suggest it to take it back to t-mobile and see if they can fix it.
Hello,
I own an HTC Touch HD. I recently semi-bricked it by flashing a bad rom, switched to an Orbit II - including the 8GB SD card.
In the meantime I flashed a working rom back on my Touch HD, put my SD card back into the Touch HD and switched to that phone again. Everything seemed to be working, until I took a look at the SD card (both through the phone and through "Disk Drive".
However, now the SD card is only listed as a 968MB SD card, with most of the original files gone, and the remaining file/directory names and contents broken.
Now I don't have access to a Micro SD card reader, so I cant access it directly. I was just curious as to whether somebody has an idea how to fix this SD card again, or whether my SD card is broken.
The data on the SD card don't matter - just wanna know whether I should just buy a new SD card
I have found a lot of hits on Google referring to SD card reporting wrong sizes, but those were mostly about reformatting, which is definitely not the issue.
Also examining the SD card with diskpart didn't yield any relevant information.
Is this SD card really broken?
hey, is the sd locked for been read only by the phone?
if I put the sd on a usb card reader I can't read it, the pc says to format it...
if I format from the pc with the sd in the phone on mass storage the phone says that file system is wrong...
is it normal? any solutions?
Try unmounting it in the phone go to settings and storage. Then try erase SD card and see what happens.
did it yet, it just format the sd and is locked again...
is a kingston 8gb class4, it was on the phone when I bought it...
I think the file system thing could be the problem...
I had problems with the SD card on my phone. It was actually causing the screen to freeze in stand by even pulling the battery and restarting wouldn't get the phone to work. Tried re-rom'ing the phone going back to factory rom nothing working. Left for a few minutes and screen would freeze.
New SD card and sorted all my issues out!
Hi guys,
My phones micro-sd card has been acting strange and was not being recognized at times by my phone. I then proceeded to put it in its SD card adapter and put it in my Mac and got an error saying the card was unreadable. I then put it in a reader on my PC and everytime I try to access the drive it gives me the 2 errors, "You need to format the drive...etc" and after clicking cancel it says that my drive is an unrecognized file format.
Recuva says it can't read the boot sector and running chkdsk gives me the message that the file format is RAW.
Just tried running ReclaiMe file recovery and it says the card is only 30.6MB while it is actually a 32GB card.
Do you guys think there is any hope? Or should I just move on?
Any help would appreciated. Got a lot of pictures and music I would love to save on the drive, plus ROM backups.
Thanks so much

I've killed an SD card before.. not sure how.. it had been partitioned EXT3 for a rom on a desire.. then re-formatted to normal..
but the problem came months after without notice one day the camera was failing and the gallery wouldn't open..
I tried a new SD card and things were fine so I figured the SD card died
Try to use MiniTool Partition Wizard on your pc, and delete ext partition and swap stay only on fat32. if that does not work format your card to exfat. If that doesn`t work try use program "winhex"(before i used it, my computer hadnt read my card). I repaired my card 3 times these methods.
You can use this ONLY on memory card reader.
What with this card
It's kingston 64 GB UHS-I
First time i use it just fine now i think i unplug while it format
So now it's won't accept anything
1.I have tried chkdsk
2.I have tried formatting with PC
3.I have tried formatting with my galaxy mega 2
4.I have tried manual deleting files on sd card
5.I have tried putting my files into the card
The weird thing is
I can still listen to music that it was on SD card (it was left there)
So basically i can't do anything with my card except reading it
Should i return it? Kingston have life time warranty thought
