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..
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!
I'm stumped with this one...
Got a brand new SanDisk 16gb sdhc card. Card mounts, reads, and writes fine for all actions including TWRP (no need to reformat sdhc cards to fat32). The issue is that titanium writes the backup to it, but cannot restore from it. What happens is after selecting my batch restore option, ti begins the process of restoring, but then fails do to a status bar message that pops up saying "unmounting sd card". As soon as I close titanium, the card remounts and the normal "preparing sd card" message is posted. This only happens with ti. File transfers, photos, nandroids, etc all work. I have the exact same card in 32gb which works fine with ti.
I also tried reformatting the card to fat32, re-ran ti... same issue when trying to restore. Only way to restore my ti backup was to move the ti folder to my internal, which worked fine, including moving the entire 1.5gb folder.
At a loss here, never experienced or been able to find anything about this issue. Any thoughts before I try to get it replaced?

If you swap to the 32GB and the problem goes away that tells you the 16GB is bad for whatever reason.
If you really want to diagnose it, try putting the 16GB in, running a backup, then transferring those files to the 32GB.
Then, transfer the backup files, either via your PC or 16GB-internal-32GB. Now try a restore from the 32GB. If it works, you know the 16GB is bad.
I've had weird issues with SD cards and my S3. Went through 2-3 64GB cards and always thought it was an exFAT issue but couldn't ever figure out exactly what the issue was. I know for sure trying to format in the phone was garbage though, always caused issues and freezing. Always format in your PC as FAT32 or exFAT then put it in the phone.

Definitely want to know what the issue is. Good suggestion, only issue I left out of the op is that my same version 32gb card is in my old S3 that some heartless f**k has! This 16gb card is my economical replacement for my replacement S3. But your right, that would definitely prove whether or not the card is defective.
The phone suddenly no longer reads SD card, nor the internal memory. Settings> Storage displays all of the memory as Unavailable.
It all started yesterday when I took out the SD card. When I returned the card and switched the phone on, the problem started.
Computer and tablet normally read the card, so the SD is not faulty. I tried to insert another SD card in my phone, I doesn't read it as well although that SD card is also working normally in my tablet.
So, the main issue is that all of the memory from the device is not readable.
Is there some kind of general memory chip or smthng that can just collapse?
Computer does not recognize the phone, the phone notifies that the mass storage is connected but the computer shows nothing.
Have you restart your phone? Restarting the phone might solve your problem.
Always remember to unmount SD card from phone setting/storage.
I restarted it few times since yesterday to see if the card is properly inserted, I also regularly unmounted before taking it out.
So I unmounted, but the problem is that it doesn't want to mount now when it's back inside.
I also wrote that it's not just SD card, the phone doesn't show the internal memory as well.
Can anyone tell me if there is maybe some general memory chip that's dead or could it be something else?
I think you should take your phone to service center in your area. I''ve never heard problem like this before.
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.
