Epic sd card problem - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

My sd card suddenly is undetected by my samsung epic4g using the 1.2 frozen syndicate rom. The file manager says the card is not prepared and I've restarted and reinserted the sd card many times. If I restart is scans the card for a split second and is done without reading it.
Someone please help my email is [email protected]
Its also randomly showing me dead battery if I reboot or restart.
Workin on my night cheese!

I'll be honest I have the slightest clue of what may be going on here but i will say that in the past i have herd of there being a problem when a certain rom is flashed and the sdcard gets missed placed by the systems built in sdcard reader. one way is to see if all your data is still on it, back it up on a pc or mac and then format it. if the phone reads it after a format then it was just a lil hiccup in the on board system. but try the reflashing thing too. if the card is still readable from recovery then that may just be all you have to do but if not thats what i had to do back in the day with my sgs vibrant. the sgs epic is very similar. but I also bought my phone off of craigslist and the 16gb card was corrupted on my epic, all around bad deal for me but thats cl, so i trashed the corrupted one and had to buy a 8 temporarily. Great luck Pal!

SD Gold Card Help

I am having a problem that I haven't seen posted, or at least that I haven't found a post about.
I rooted my GF's phone, created her gold card, downgraded, installed a new ROM, everything went very smooth.
She has been using her phone for a few weeks and has had no problem. The other day she went to take a picture with her phone and when she click the button to take the picture the phone said that the SD card was not accessible.
I took her card out and put my card in, same thing. I put her gold card back into the phone. Installed file explorer and went to the SD Card, no folders had been create. I tried to create a folder through file explorer. Phone said that the SD Card was not accessible.
Anyone got any suggestions? I am clueless as to why I can't get any SD Card to work in her phone. The SD Card worked before I rooted so it has to be a problem with something I did or something I didn't do.
Thanks in advance
Did you try the card in your phone? Just to see if its the rom your using or the sdcard may have become corrupted....

Well if you put two different cards in her phone and same thing then you either have a software error. (Reinstall the rom) or a hardware error. (take the phone back.) This has nothing to do with a gold card tho.
Don't get too worried too quick. This could simply be that the SD card is mounted as read only. I'm not sure how to do it but there's a way to check and correct the issue. Let Google be your friend on this one it will probably lead you right back to these forums with info on correctly mounting your SD card.
If that's not the issue start by reinstalling the Rom your using.
Next troubleshooting step after that is to reflash the stock Rom.
If that doesn't work. Go back to square one. Unroot. Format the SD card. Redo the gold card reroot and see what happens.
Absolute worst case would be go back to stock and locked to ATT and return the phone do to hardware issues.
Hope this helps!

May want to look here for read only fixes... they seem to have success...

He is using two seperate cards. One he knows is working on his phone with the same results on her phone. Not reading. I do not believe he has a card error. Unless he somehow messed them both up? Sounds somewhat far fetched. heh

Thanks for all the tips, I will try a good bit of them once she gets home from work. Something tells me its isn't mounting the card correctly, I am leaning toward a ROM problem and maybe going to try a different ROM.
She doesn't give her phone up to often for me to play with, typical woman she is always on it. But I will try some of the suggestions here and any others that come up here after. Somethings got to fix it.
Thanks All

[Q] Xperia X10 SD Card Damaged

I was using my Xperia X10a and suddenly I got a notification that says SD Card Damaged. It asks me to format it, when I click on it, it says preparing SD card and then brings up the SD Card Damaged notification again. I went out and bought another SD Card but it still gives me the SD Card Damaged notification. So I tried seeing if the SD card works on another phone and it works fine. How can i fix this. My phone is also rooted. My phone is on AT&T.

Xperia X10 SD Card Damaged
I was told that there may be a physical problem with the card receiver.
The trick is to only push the card into the slot a little way using the back of the phone to keep it in place.
I tried that to no avail.
I found out that HTC users, Motorolla users, DroidX, Nexus, and other phones running Android Eclair also give the exact problem especially after rooting; many before.
I bought one of the Samsung Galaxy S phones running Gingerbread and haven't had the problem at all.
I mod'd the X10 to Gingerbread and the problem stopped. Only thing is that my Mod doesn't support high res on the camera. Its a temporary fix I guess.

[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] Damaged SD Card Help

I have a Samsung Galaxy Showcase I500 i was on stock 2.3.5 and i decided to flash a custom rom so i installed newest miui rom for I500 1.12.9 i think.. So my problem is that if i reboot my phone it seems to make the sd card corrupt. which isnt really a problem because i always keep it on. The first time it happened though my phone rebooted on its own and was kind of glitchy. Since then i have had the sd card damaged problem 2 more times but when i rebooted once and once when i pushed files from my computer to my sd card in usb storage mode. i really like this rom but i cant continue to reformat my sd card every couple of days and reload music download album cover redownload themes etc...its getting old... any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way i have tried reformatting with my computer and my phone so i know that wont fix it.

Does the computer recognize the SD card?
On computer format the sd card

Reformat
Reformat your SD card by right clicking -> properties -> and format it. See if this helps. Also, try using another SD card to see if it is just your SD card or your phone that is bad. Deduce and solve
i have tried all of this reformatting from my phone from my computer every which way i could. i have used my disk management and nothing works. i decided to keep my 8 gb in there it is working without flaw. but both the 16 gb ones just keep getting corrupted. This is weird because when i tried installing miui with my 16 gb sd card it wouldnt work so after pulling my hair out for two days i found a post where someone said to use an 8 gb card to install it and i did and it worked perfectly. i guess this phone rom doesnt like 16 gb sd cards.

Freakin wierd SD card problem!

Hi there!
I hope that someone here would find a good solution for my absolute freaky wierdo problem!
So... The problem is with my SDcard.. or my phone, not sure about that!
Just installed v20G after a while of googleing and searching about that problem.
The phone just wants to detect my SDcard. Even in CWM it wonts detect, it wants to format and says like cant mount sd card...
and here comes the wierd thing:
1. I put the SDcard into my pcs card reader
2. Format the SDcard and its nice and clean (empty)
3. Put it back into my phone
4. Made a phone reboot
5. put my SD card back to PC
AND there you GO, there is a .android_something folder and some stuff... and everytime I do that (sdcard format, phone reboot), I get this files on my fully formated SDcard.
So Im not sure whats happening there but I please you to help me! Cause Im going crazy.
Cant even do something, installed ROM Manager to install CWM or any rom... but NO... I need a freakin SD card...
Thnx in advance people!
FOUND THE SOLUTION...
OMG LOL OMG!
I had the same issue on my P500 Optimus One and I solved it with a small piece of paper.
I fold small piece of paper once and set it between SD card and the lid that covers it in order to make it press the SD card against the metal contacts and forced a bit to close the lid.
After that, my mobile recognize the SD card and had not rebooted or unmounted my SD card.
It seems to me to be a LG design issue when developing this lid and the way the SD card is inserted.
