[Q] SD Card damaged

Hi guys need a little help here..
So my phone froze up earlier today and seemed that it shutdown, so no problem right, battery pull then reboot... Unfortunately, after rebooting after the "preparing sd card" prompt it said "Damaged SD Card" sd card damaged you.may have to reformat it.
Any ideas..??? I'm quite confused too as my sd-ext is mounting fine and I can go ahead and open it via root explorer, and I'm sure it's fine coz I'm able to open apps that I know are on SD.. but what's up with th fat32..? Sadly I don't have any backups.. any workarounds I can try before reformatting everything..? (Not even sure if reformat will do any good, as it is possible that the card itself got corrupt, though hopefully not)
Suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!!

Alright so HM you are spot on my friend, tried reading it on the PC and loaded just fine, so I ran chkdsk and selected both options, slapped it back on my phone et voila! Good as new! Thanks for the help, I panicked a little and posted this straight away via mobile app, as it got "damaged" while I was in the office and had no means of checking my SD card via PC.. Again many thanks!
Although 1 question comes in mind, what could've caused this? As of course I would definitely want to prevent this from happening in the future.

if you could not reformat it through usual way, try low level format. work on me all the time when my sd card corrupted. but you have u back up first while u still can cuz when its done, kinda hard to get back up the data.

I would also check for a corrupted file somewhere on your SD card. It will be the one that you were working on before the freeze. If you go and try to delete it, surpirise, it won't delete. I had this same problem and ended up just renaming the folder "bug". Tried to move it over to PC and use Unlocker or File Assassin and no luck. Finally ended up pulling everything off the card and reformating completely.
Check you media and any icons that are grey with an ! in there. Easy fix for that is to go into DCIM/ Thunbnails and delete the top two items that aren't actaully thumbnails. Then go to settings and unmount->remount sdcard to initiate the media scanner. This way you don't have to delete the grey! picture to bring it back into good standing and the picture won't be lost.
Chances are that it happened b/c something interupted whatever you were doing and fritzed out the SD card. Maybe run a sd card and sd-ext check in AOR or MZor too.

[Q] Can't mount SD card SGH-T989

Hi guys,
I tried to find solution but couldn't find. the solutions were for different phone and etc. so not sure if that would apply to my case this is why want to make sure will get right fix for the issue
Phone was working fine for a couple months but couple days ago I noticed that I can't take pictures because it can't mount sd card
Well I'm thinking I will restore from backup but guess what I can't because clockwork can't see the sd card so I'm kinda stuck here. I think this is a phone's internal memory card not the micro sd card. Am I right?
Thanks for help in advance and if there is a thread with same issue and device please send me a link as I couldn't find it.
Quick info about phone
sgh-t989
android version 2.3.7
baseband verion T989UVKL1
Kernel Version 2.6.35.14+ SGS2-Streamline #3
Mod Version CayongenMod-7.2.0-RC0-373_R6-Kang-SGHT989-KANG
not sure if this is enough info but if you need anything else please ask
thanks for help
Oh well today I had some free time so I sat down and tried to look for fix, turns out it is was external micro sd issue which failed.
Phone was setup to use external card. So after I told phone go and use internal memory rebooted and all good, inserted smaller micro sd card, just to have some additional memory and all is good. So here you go if you will have something similar going with your phone maybe that will help you.

how did you tell the phone to use internal memory? i'm running across this same problem where my external sd card is not being mounted or read

[Q] pc says sd card needs reformatting,but installed apps still visible and useful

i successfully rooted my huawei g510-200 by following instruction here in xda and was proud considering my limited knowledge with computers but recently,as the high spirit was still in me, i made a mistake of backing up my apps using tb and saving them into the internal storage.. i decided to cut and paste the files in sd card and there the problem started.. first, when i tried to use my camera, a notification appeared saying sd card cannot be read and the image will be saved in the internal storage..second, when i took out my sd card and try to read it in my pc, pc said reformatting is needed and the scary part, when i put back my sd card into my phone, the screen flickered and all apps notify that they are unable to load. i restarted my phone and everything was back to normal but still, sd card is unreadable. please help. what should i do to revive my sd card? thanks in advance.

micro sdhc bricked?? pls help

hey guys... i'm having some problems with my buddies' sandisk 32 gb ultra micro sdhc. I think it might be bricked. idk how he did it but he was telling me that there was nothing on it and i checked and he was right.. he has a galaxy tab 4 and never unmounts his card before he pulls it out. wonder if that wasn't some of the cause. it said sd card was broken or damaged or something like that and it offered an option to format. so we hit format but now it seems like it is completerly gone. i was gonna reload it for him but figured out something more was wrong as the computer would do absolutely nothing when i put it in. never shows up under devices with removable storage or nothin. i can put it in my galaxy player and it says preparing sd card and then it does nothing... never mounts and acts like it ain't there. so just to be sure it wasn't the computer, i put my own sd card into the computer and that worked fine!! sooo i did some research and it looked like a program called sdformatter might be able to help me. but i tried that and unfortunately that didn't recognize it either. i've looked everywhere but i can't seem to find a solution that works. idk what to do anymore... help is really appreciated!!:good:
thanks in advance

Is there anyway to root/get my apps to go to the SD card I bought for the ZTE Paragon

I recently bought an SD card for my ZTE Paragon and I've tried so hard to find a way to root it and try to get the internal storage to move my apps to my SD card. I don't have a computer available and am seriously getting stressed about this. Please someone help me, this 1.27 GB of storage that's taken up by 400 mb of system BS is aggravating. It is a Z753G, thank you!

As I myself am hitting brick walls in rooting my galaxy Luna and being stuck with laughable internal storage I found an app that has been quite handy to an extent. It's free in Google play its called Apk share/App send Bluetooth. It makes a copy of the app you select as an apk, and then allows you to send the app via Bluetooth to another device. I have been using it to send apks to my tablet which has an SD card as the default write disk, so I can move the SD to any device and all the apks are on the SD in my Bluetooth file.
The nifty thing is that you can also send the apks to other places if there's no secondary device available to you. You can send them to your Google drive, Google+, gmail and even through text message. Then you just install the apk from the Bluetooth folder on the SD like you would any other apk ?
This method may not technically save you any space if you require every app you have on the device though which sucks, especially if you are running lollipop. So if this is not helpful I apologize. However I hope this can help even just temporarily! On the plus side it can be a good way to back up all the apps you may need or want to have on SD before/during root process
