Try removing the memory card and reading it directly from a computer. If you can see the contents, copy whatever you need out of it. put it back into the phone. Format. reboot and see if the phone reads it right. If it does, drag and drop whatever you backed up

Looks like I wont be able to find the missing files because my little cousin had my phone and accidentally erased everything on the internal memory and sd card

Download photorec.
You can recover your SD card as long as you don't copy anything over to it

OK thanks where do I download it. I'm searching for it in the market and it's not finding it

Google it, it's a windows/linux/mac program.

Can't see external SD?

I just bought a g2x today and its rooted and unlocked. Completely stock. I have an external SD in it but when I use astro or any other file manager I can't see my files. If I boot into clock work I can see the files from install from debut with programs to viewing files nothing shows up. Help please. Thank you.

In Astro, in the SD folder, if you scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll see an External SD folder.

Can only access one SD card.

I am running cm7 and everything is running great. The only little hiccup I have is that I can only access one of my SD cards. With the stock File Explorer and Linda, only the internal SD is showing, and the External_SD folder empty.
Under cm7 settings>applications, there is an option to switch SD cards, but all that does is reverse what is show in the file explorer.
Both SD cards are available when I plug into the PC, but this is annoying having to manually change settings. It wasn't like this with stock 2.3.3.

External SD isn't used by cm7 you have emmc, which is your internal SD and SDcard which is your external sd

Wow, nvm. I got it figured out, had to do a little exploring.
My next task; browsing LAN network via wifi with Linda manager. Is this possible to access my home computer's hard drive from my phone? Looks like i need a host ip and password with Linda.

Micro SD card question

So after having put my droid x sd card from a while back into the sgs3, the error with the blank sd card notification came up. I put the sd card into the computer and it still says must format before i can even open it. What if any software or recovery program can recover the files if possible at all or did i just lose everything permanently.
sounds like its corrupt
Try a program called testdisk on your computer to see if it's recoverable.

32gb micro sd card help

Got a new 32gb class 10 card. So I copied old sd card to comp then copied to new card. Everything went fine , but once I reboot the phone, about half of the data goes into a folder called lost.dir and several folders appear with random lettering for names. No matter what method I use to transfer my days it does this. I've formatted in the phone. I've formatted in the comp . Neither my phone or comp day card is corrupted it seems ok. Has any one seen this before?

You said you've tried formatting several times. Just to check, did you do FAT32?

Just for debugging purposes, what happens if you insert your sd into the computer after booting once on the phone?

It recognizes it u can see all the files and the messed up ones
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Its almost like every folder I add below the lost directory folder goes crazy and ends up in lost.dir going too try something and see if this works
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
So this is what I've found. No matter what files I add to the card the Minn I go over 3.75 gb and restart the phone the files that are over that amount get broken up into the lost.dir and folder replaces it with a u in front of since this is a 32gb card I'm betting the card is no good

SD card no longer reading

I did a little searching but haven't seen any other issues like this so I thought I'd get some insight here.
I have a wifi model note 10.1 that has been running a 4.4.4 rom (omnirom) for awhile and haven't had any issues until just recently with no changes or upgrades to the device the SD card is no longer being recognized. No apps are able to access files on there, es file explorer doesn't last it in the drop down, and most of the time under the storage settings it will either recognize the card and show 0 files on it, or not recognize there's an SD card at all. Sometimes restating will help or unmounting and remounting the card but it never lasts. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Time to replace the card.
I thought that too but it seems to work perfectly in my phone and I can access all the files.

Can you create a folder or copying something into the microSD card?
If you can't, it's at its write limit = change card
When it happen you can still open/view file in it but not deleting/editing/creating files.
I didn't know that and that's exactly what it's doing. I can't delete or anything like that, but I was able to copy the files on it to my desktop. Thanks for that. Just picked up a new SD card yesterday anyways.
