So my 16g sd card suddenly stopped working one day. It won't let me write anything to it or delete anything.
I tried on my computer to format it, but it doesn't work. I know it's not my phone cause my other sd works just fine.
Any ways if someone could help me find a fix for the stupid sd card that would be awesome. I this 8g isn't big enough please help.

Have you tried formatting it from your phone? Sometimes, formatting it on your computer doesn't work. If formatting it from your phone does not work, you may have a bad sd card. :/
Good luck!

Yes, try downloading a bootable gparted image, burn it on cd or set it up on an sdcard, and try to format it with that.
Maybe it will work with that, else you have to return it to the shop if it still has warranty.

I recently installed cm7 On my phone and it says that my SD Card is damaged and can't be read, so I formatted it and it still can't be read,does anyone know how to fix this
what i find fixes mine is, going to my computer and right clicking on the sd card and go to property, then scan and fix errors.
I also experience this issue on a regular basis. I think the issue is with formatting, and the way i always fix it is reformatting in windows to FAT32. If i format in Mac it never works, has to be windows. It makes no sense, but thats my experience with the problem.

when i first flashed cm7 i saw that and it scared the crap out of me. I went to settings-storage and re-mounted the sd card and it was dandy.
I formatted my 16gb card in a digital camera and, it worked fine after that.

I just popped my sd card out and inserted it and everything was fine after that.

I have done this also - try that first. If another device reads the card OK - it does not need reformatting.
That happened to mine too...Need to buy another 8gb one.
I just pop it out and back in and it usually wakes back up but sometimes it takes a reboot

So I think I've tried absolutely everything (that I can think of at least), but I can't seem to format my External SD Card. I've tried from CWM, from Windows 7 from and from an old Windows XP machine. I've when connecting to the computers I've done a manually deletion of everything on the SD-Card only to un mount it and re-mount it and find everything is still there. As well as right clicking on the drive and selecting format and then un mounting and remounting and finding everything is back. What is really weird is that everything indicates like it works but once I unmounted my SD-Card and then remounted it, it just comes back. I've also gone into root explorer and tried deleting it from there. If anyone has any other ideas I would sure be grateful to hear them. Thanks. Also my phone is CM 9.1.0 with root (obviously).
How are you mounting your sd card on the computer? You are only using your phone or you have an external reader?
If you are only using your phone the issue may come from there and you should try an external reader.
Also to format it in windows try right clicking our computer>manage>manage storage and there find your card an try formatting it.

@kishke I'm using my phone to mount my SDcard, I don't have an external SDcard reader on me at the moment. I could definitely give it a shot. I'll update you on how that goes. I'm also going to try the comment below as well. I did try and do a windows format and that didn't work either. So definitely stumped on this one.
Discovered some new info
So I found out that my external SDcard isn't writeable... but I checked the permissions in system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and everything looked good. Any different ideas out there?

Yes. Sometimes you can pull data of a card that is not writable.

sounds like the card is junk
My card seems to become invincible...
Everything stays on it...music n videos...even if you try formatting with Windows or Partition Magic..
Wipe partition,Chkdsk,Delete partition....Everything Fails.
Card is again reverted back to its old state with those samne old files....
2 or 3 episodes of series seems to never let go...
I am tired of it....
Plz help...anyone!!
If the sd card is new try bring it back to were you got it from for a replacement.
Sometimes it not worth you trying to fix things thst are new.
If not sorry I cant help.
I hope its not one of them sdcard that have been adjusted to say one thing and does another

When asking for help it is generally beneficial to tell us all details. So..........
Can you tell us what brand card it is as well as size and what file system you formatted it to?
Have you tried SD Formatter

Some sd cards have a small pin to move to make them read only... try flipping it.
Otherwise the card must be faulty. Did u try mini partition?

Apparently the SanDisk cards have been having issues. I just sent mine in because my tablet wouldn't recognize it. I kept getting a sd card error message for a few months but it would eventually get recognized until last week where no matter what I tried, it just wasn't getting picked up by my tablet.
If I were you, I would send it in before the warranty expires unless you it says ultra on it which I think is a lifetime warranty but at least call them up and see what they have to say.

Ok so I haven't downloaded roms or had to move anything to my ext sd card in a while, but now when I do it shows the files moved and when I restart my phone the files disappear. It won't even be on my internal sd card. So I'd have to re-download whatever it was I downloaded... Which is a bit of a pain in the ass since I don't have wifi right now or service on the phone. Is there anyone else with this issue that has a fix or some advice or help in any way? Any input Wuld b greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried reformatting the sdcard? Format it to fat32 and see how it works after that. If you have a spare sdcard, see if you can reproduce the issue on there. If it does not happen on this second card then the original is faulty or at least well on its way.

It's possible your SD card is failing. The S3 sort of has a reputation for killing them.
I would try what Fingers said. I had the same problem once with Illusion rom (liquid ripoff) and reformatted and was all set.
First time I tried to use sd card on my phone today. It doesn't read the card. Card is working fine. I tested it on pc and on another phone. I formatted it on pc and nothing changed. Phone is us unlocked and running stock oreo. Anyone has the same problem? Or solution?
Edit: problem solved when I format the card through my old phone but not from my pc.
I've had the issue before.. Back up everything on it and format it through your phone, not from a PC... I know it's a well known fact, but in case you don't know, if you ever format a card from your PC, don't use the format tool that comes with Windows, it doesn't format correctly and could damage the card... Also, before you put the card back in the phone, try wiping the terminals on it before re-inserting it

What file system are you using on the card? Try formatting with a different file system to see if you can get it to read.. I had an Android set top box that wouldn't read exFAT but if read NTFS without any issues

For the heck of it, try FAT32.. If you can get it to read in the phone then, reformat it again from the phone.. If it still doesn't read, try another card in the phone to make sure it isn't the phone itself or the rom you have installed.. If the other card works, maybe contact the manufacturer of the card to see if you can get a replacement.. I've done that for a few SanDisk cards already and their customer service is pretty good from my experience
*Edit* I also have had luck with the format tool on SD card.org
