OKay guys I formatted my SD card on my MT3G 32B and now the SD is Blank but my phone wont recognize it. I only Get a Blank SD card. Also I tried accessing the Power Off + Home so I can format it from there and It wont display the menu. I've tried it aswell without the SD card inside the phone and it's a no go. My phone still works but it's slow since I am running HERO.

I plugged my phone into the laptop and the install drivers thing came up and i was doing it but for some reason my wireless connection was acting up so i just cancelled knowing that i'd do it later but now i plug the phone in and the install drivers thing doesnt pop up. even when i select mount on the phone. so i knows my phone is there but doesnt read my sd card. can anyone help? im using windows. (i know there is another thread like this but they had problems after spliting the sd card, i havent done that so its a different issue)
Still asking for help from fellow members, I'm trying to start themeing and I wanna split my sd card so I need ythe laptop to read my sd card
I have the exact same stupid problem... It is extremely frustrating.. I have been told that it might be a problem with the type of SD card that you are using (Transend, San Disk.. ect). Im trying to Update to Stock rc 33 from root. (root to unroot). Any ideas..? It also might depend on what route you are taking to copy the theme, update ect to the the SD card... faulty USB cord or through a faulty card reader.. which could in turn corrupt the file.. you know what i mean..? lol ugh.. It is a hugggge pain in the arse.
maybe someone can help me. over night last night my sd seem to become encrypted. when i woek up i noticed galarm wasnt playing my mp3's upon further investagation i discoverred that all the files are jumbled. when i put the sd card in my pc there is a .menc file. i believe this means its encrypted, however i did not tell it to do this. i am running natf 5.1 rom. sorry if this has been covered b4. im just freaking out becasue i dont know how to get all my files back. if anyone has run into this or has any idea how to fix it i will be forever in your debt.. thanks fatter
p.s. i do not nor have i ever told my phone to encrypt my files on the sd card
I dont' know if this is the problem but there is a encrypted SD card utility in the System menu. I would look in to that program maybe it got activated some how.
thats not encryption thats just sd card corruption
format it and if you have a backup on the computer
which is always a good idea copy it back on the formatted
card and softreset and it should be like it were before
the corruption
Would really appreciate a little help! Phone died formatting a new sandisk 16 gb SD and now I cannot format the card as it says blank or unsuppported file system or something, gives option to format, then says checking SD card, then the same notification stays about unsupported ect... but it does nothing. I tried putting it in an SD card adapter in a few things like a camera to format but no ideas. Anyone know what to do? Also tried formatting through system pref... does same thing.. no luck.

My understanding from reading your post is that you tried to format a brand new SD card and then your phone turned off/died, then you got the phone back up and running and tried to format again, but now you're getting an error. Well, if you still have the receipt, go return it for another one and try again.
if the card, formats in nothing, like your camera or PC, which I believe you are saying. The SD card is defective.....return it.
infact, I don't think I had to format my new SD card. It worked right out of the box.
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.
My SD card is in one or another way corrupt, I think. The system apps won't read the SD card. It's very strange, because I can browse the whole card on my computer and in ES File Explorer too. The Camera app can store images captured with the device, but not view them ...
I've tried to fix it with flashing ViperS 1.3.5 over my ROM again without wiping to see if there were any corrupted systemfiles, but no. That didn't work. So I mounted the SD card to my PC and backed it up, re-partitionated it and copied the backup back to the SD card. Still, the same problem is there. So I rebooted my phone into Recovery (4ext), tried to fix the permissions from there, and nothing worked. I checked the partition aligment and it showed me that the Fat32 partition was not perfectly aligned. So I deleted all partitions from the SD card using recovery (Fat32 and Ext4) and re-partitionated it from there, both Fat32 and Ext4.
Then, I tested the partition aligment and it showed me that both partitions was perfectly aligned. I rebooted and hoped it should work now, but no.
So this is pretty frustrating. Is the WHOLE SD card corrupt or something? My phone manages to load all my apps from the Ext4 partition, so I don't think that's the problem.
PLEASE!!! HELP!!!!!
The problem seem to have fixed itself ...! It's very strange, because almost every time I'm starting new [Q] Threads, the phone fixes itself... Strange -.- But, can someone tell me what caused the problem if it appears again?

Very strange I'm not sure what the issue was. I know with my SD card it showed corrupt or damaged SD but yet ran perfectly on my card reader.I formatted on my computer but still said damaged card. so I figured I needed to format through recovery yet when I tried to go to recovery it would say SD card needed. So I ended up pulling battery And getting into recovery that way then I was able to format. After I formatted from recovery the card was once more able to be detected and the error message stopped. It is a 64 gig. Maybe somehow your card wasn't formatting correctly. But how it fixed itself is very strange. I know in my case I thought I had a bad or damaged card because it kept saying damaged and was not able to be recognized because it needed to be correctly formatted even though I'd formatted it on the computer before hand. Maybe in your case it was an issue like that? Not sure but glad you got your issue fixed. SD cards can be touchy sometimes. In my case I had to format twice before it was recognised.

Dude, I'm going to get you to post threads about my problems too and see if they miraculously cure!
Maybe you should make a thread about a problem with you bank account because it doesn't have $10,000,000 in it! See if that's suddenly fixed. hahaha
As for the SD Card, did it suddenly work right after a reboot? Anyway I agree with Realsis. You can probably cure this problem for good by formatting the SD card, even if it's working now. Just save the contents to your computer first so you don't lose everything.
