I hope this is the right place ,i have searched and found nothing,i have a 16 GB micro card and i cant format it i have tried directly from my phone ,in a card reader ,with an adapter straight into another computers card reader,please help me , TIA Jacques
If you want to format it because it seems corrupted (and cant do it in any way as you told) then it is broken and you need to change it at service.
I had also my 16G microSD changed
is it a branded card?
exactly WHY cant you format it?... wanna give us some insight into what happens?
I couldn't format a card with a number of programs - In the end I tried 'Flash Format' by CNetX (google it) - it worked first time on the free evaluation version.
Good luck.

im runing duty 4\29 now and have no issues or problems..same was with l26 v4 diamond...my device is working great... just that memory card is driving me bananas ,,,
howe somone can help..and thanks a lot...
Did you you try using the start=>run=>cmd=>FORMAT on a pc to format it. Did you make sure the write protection tab is set to unlock on the sd adapter. If it's set to locked remove the card first, then set it to unlock and reinsert it.
Also on the pc when you format it check the file system.
usually it wont do FAT32.
Just FAT will work.
Also the card should be unlocked anyway as you can delete individual files, so as ricethief says, you dont need to check that.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
ok i turn on my phone and my storage card isnt showing up on my file explorer
and i have alot of things installed to it.
i am using a 8125
someone help
For start try the easy things.
Turn off your phone. Pop out your Storage card & clean it. Also blow (with your mouth ) in the slot. Put the card in again & turn on the phone.
If this doesn't work try & see if the card is working with a card reader (I hope that you have one). With the card reader back up your data & format it at FAT32.
If the phone still doesn't see it try formating it at FAT.
If nothing of the above works & also the card reader doesn't even see the card, then you have a corrupted / damaged card .
If nothing of the above works & the card reader can see the card, hard reset your phone & then try again. Of course with the hard reset you will lost all your data .
I hope something of the above to work for you...

You can do it only with a card reader or another phone .
I had the lousy 8125 for far too long. I never could get it to recognize a memory card. AT&T pushed the phone out to the market too early with a processor that choked on the OS alone,....that is why the 8525 came out just a short 3 months later.

Do you modify ur device? Did you perhaps install a Startmenu to Dll/Service instead of using an exe to start the starmenu application?
Hello i have one problem ... i have 16gb micro sd card and i cant format it .. if i format in pc .. all files is gone .. but if i take it in mobile(htchd2) all deleted files are back ... i cant copy anything or delete .. if format in mobile .. says cant delete ... unable to complete ...
please for answer how to result it ... thx for help
(sorry for bad english)
Seems like the format does not turn out very well. Please tell me, what file system are you formatting to? And are you sure your phone does support 16GB micro sd cards? If all else fails you could try a third party partition manager (Partition magic, acronis) to format the card. Even better would be to format it using linux, this works most of the time.
in pc i have win 7 ... formating (think FAT32) and i was use that card before im usin it about 1year ... in that time is everything ok ... but now i cant format ... (my phone support 32gb cards.) its HTC hD2 ( something info about phone ..) SPL 2,08 hspl 8g xe ... i before used AMandroid 2.3.4 cyan...
hmm ok, I suggest you try to use partition magic (you can find it using torrent networks etc. like thepiratebay.org). For some reason your pc just does not format it correctly which is highly unusual. So, in conclusion, if your pc and your phone do not want to format it like it's supposed to. Try using some third party software.
Also, isn't it sufficient to just delete all the files on the card? If so, use your phone to do this, it might also work and it would be the easiest option.
i try many programs ... but dont any effect ... and i try delete by ... MAGLDR v1.13 but nothing ... card maybe locked... ?? it is?? i try next day unlock it by reduction or i buy new card .... its esiest way .. to result it ...

Warez isn't tolerated here.
You can try and delete the partition in windows disk management. Right click my computer, manage. If you still have issues it's almost certainly a duff card.

Sorry, I forgot for a moment
Bump for this
I am having the same problem. I have a 32gb micro sd card that Im trying to use but I cant delete anything off of it or put any files on it. When I do try to delete items, it takes the time to delete the files and then removes them from the list, but when the card is put back into my phone the files are still there.This is also the case when I try to add music. The computer will take time to write the files, but in the end no new files are created
I have tried using windows to format it as well as SanDisks formatter. I also did a check disk in windows command prompt but no errors were returned.
It should also be noted that when I tried to reformat with Sandisks reformatter, I was using the adapter in my sd card slot and it said that the card was locked and to slide the switch. I tried it with a different card reader and the same error occurred. when I put the card into the phone it was "able to" reformat it. but the same problem is occurring.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
stupid questioN; but do you have activated some kind of write protection? ^^
Download MiniTools Partition Wizard (Freeware)
It fixed my SD-Card
hey guys,
1 month ago i've buyed a new sd card(16 gigs, class4) it works pretty good until now.
now i can't erase anything, when i try it the datas seemd to be away, but on the next plug they're there again...
and the phone doesn't recognize the card either, so what i can do?!
Corrupted. Use minitools to do a full wipe and try.
doesn't work anyway,
or explain what i have to do exactly
Have you tried it on a different device to make sure the problem is the sd card and not your phone. Tried backing up and formatting the sd card?
on different devices it's like read/only...
formatting doesn't work,
Assuming the sd card is MicroSD ( it is isn't it?), and you've tried formatting it on a phone as well as from a computer, always making sure the lock of the microSD adapter was off, the only thing i would think of, is trying with different formatting tools software, there are plenty of them on the internet.
A program that might work:http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-127-hp-usb-disk-storage-format-tool
yes it's micro sd but it hasn't any lock,
when i try that program there's written: the device is write-protected..
When you plug your micro sd card to the computer you do it with an adaptor in wich you should find a lock, if it's off or doesn't exist the following tutorial should help.
http://www.troublefixers.com/remove-write-protection-on-usb-pen-drive-or-memory-card-or-ipod/
Remember google!
doesnt work...
what type of format does it have? did you formatted it at first use? with which kind of format ? i'm running out of possible solutions.. argh!
it has 1 gig ext, and the other's fat32..
Repartitioning, trying with the disk utility on ubuntu...or if your on time, or return it to the store and change it for a new one... i've no idea what so ever apart from what i've already answered. Sorry mate. May be someone around the forum can help you further...
cannot partitioning it, read only,...
when someone knows how to fix that he would answer..
hi yesterday I unexpectedly remove sd card (samsung) without unmounting from htc u11 now I can not write to it. can not format the sd card from phone as well from pc. recently I updated my htc u11 to oreo also. I dont know is it because of unexpectedly remove of sd card or oreo update because I dont remember that after oreo update I use(means download something) my sd card. If anyone have the solution thanx in advance.
How old was sd card? Could be just bad luck, and card died, happen to me. And what pc - win version you tried formated? It should let you do it whitout any problems.
If the external sd card was being written to at the time it was disconnected then it will be broken. If it wasn't then try to recover it using a pc.
The oreo update won't have changed anything with the external sd card so you can rule that out.
Sometimes, when you pull out the memory card unexpectedly (also the pen drives or even memory sticks on pc) you can lock the card. It denies to write on it. This happens due to the chip controller of the memory card. The only solution is to repair it on PC with special software tools from manufacturer or from russian/chinese/vietnamese forums which can reset that lock 'flag'. That sw contains drivers to raw access the chip controller.

Try to search something like that: 'mass production utility', usually under this name you can find utilities to access the chips. It is time consuming to find what chip/controller your card use and find an utility which can access that chip since samsung do not publish such a tool...
You can try ChipGenius or another sw to find details, you may digg in sites like 'http://www.flashdrive-repair.com' to find a way of repair.
