my samsung vibrant is rooted, i used the superone click root, with android 2.2 and it's been freezing up alot when i insert an sd card. Everything worked smoothly for about 8 months, but recently i have been having bad experiences with samsung. i have two external 2gb sd cards and when i inserted the first one, one day, it would finish scanning it and then vibrate once, then three times, the turn black. not off, but black. The button lights would remain on but the phone would become nonresponsive and the phone would remain black for about 5 minutes. Then it would start up like new and begin to scan media. it would stop halfway to freeze up again and the process would repeat. After about 3 more freezes, the phone stopped scanning the external sd card and immediately say blank external sd card on the notifications. it would show a card with a swipe over it. So i inserted it to an adapter and to my computer so save my data but no. The computer wouldn't detect it. I was shocked, all my data lost. I assumed it was just the card so i bought a new one. i instered it to my phone today, after almost filling it up from my computer, and the phone read it easily. after about 5 minutes of finishing reading it the phone stop responding to my touch. Vibrate once, then twice, the the black screen. I immediately removed my sd card. I might be mistakened, but i assume that my phone kills sd cards. my computer can still read it, luckily, but my phone will stop reading it halfway and freeze up just to kill it completely. However without any external sd card inserted, my phone will start as good as new. Any idea why this is happening or how to solve it. I'll try unrooting it only if the android 2.3 update takes longer than by dec. 1 to arrive for my phone. i have my reasons.

I have this problem that keeps repeating itself.
I have been using the latest BiffMod Rom for a few weeks, all has been fine until I moved some apps to the MicroSD card via the inbuilt application manager.
The phone works fine for a while and then one day, nothing. the phone doesnt want to boot or anything. After some investigating it turns out its the MicroSD card that is corrupt.
If remove it from the phone, the phone operates as expected, If I insert it, I either get freezing, or the safely remove SD card message. The card wont mount.
I have tried the card in a Windows PC and it will read the Fat32 but freezes after a while.
Now this is not the first time this has happened and the pattern is emerging that it seems to be when ever I move apps to the SD.
Has anyone else had similar problems, I have gone through 3 of the same card in about as many months, luckily I have a bunch of cards from work. But its super annoying.
completely The card ends up been completly useless.

Well, for one, Biffmod moves apps2sd automatically, using scripts and when you do it manually, you are messing with the mod. So, thats where you messed up.
Secondly, I too messed up a 16GB Class10 SD card but, was able to fix it by reformatting it in ubuntu then again in Amon_RA recovery menu. I originally had it formatted 1024MB ext4/96MB swap...when I re-parted it, I had to change the sizes for it to work. Now, its 512MB ext4/32MB swap.
Third, a guy (MrBurrito) gave me this script file he made to try and fix the card. You copy it to your sd card, flash it in recovery, wait 10-20 seconds after it finishes and, then reboot. It didn't work for me but, I'll attach it, maybe it can work for you.
My problem started when apps from the anroid market began to update on their own. I'm not sure what apps they were, but my phone when out. After my phone went out, I took the battery, SIM, and Sd card out of the device and tried to reboot it. Now, when my phone boots, it gives me the ATT screen, goes to black with the bottom row buttons lit up and the phone vibrates once and twice in quick succession and then goes out again. My phone has been acting this way for the past 4 days. On occasion the phone will completely boot for a minute or two, and then will go out and reboot to the black screen. I'm not sure what I can do next. I do NOT have a rooted device and the majority of my music is located on the internal sd. (I'm just now figuring out that the internal and external SD are not the same) I don't want to lose the media on the internal sd and I don't want to lose my bookmarks. I have tried to transfer files from the internal to the external sd, on the rare occassion of when my phone fully booted for a quick minute, but I had no such luck. I have tried backing things up on my computer, but I get an error message that the USB is corrupted and has malfunctioned. I have read about ODIN3, but I have not tried to flash the device, everything is the way it was when I bought the phone. Is there any hope for me? Will a hard reset wipe the data off of my internal sd? I just want my media files and possibly save my bookmarks....PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! What can I do?........Samsung Captivate 2.1
No you shouldnt loose your media, use this method.
Thanks a lot!!!!!
Hi! I really need help with this phone. SD cards won't appear on my phone, they used to though. The problem, I suppose, started when suddenly my phone gave me an error message saying that my SD card was corrupted. I left it like that for a while, but the message never went away, until recently when I tried to fix it by formatting the card with my computer as FAT32 so I could root the phone. After that it recognized it but quickly stopped, it just disappeared, and every time I removed the card and placed it back in the message would appear for a second and vanish the next. I decided to try to format it again on the pc and see if it would get recognized on another phone (Moto G 2gen.. which had another card on it), and it did.. When I saw that the other phone could see it and even use the card, I tried to see if the one that was on that phone worked on my Moto X.. it didn't. It didn't even display the error message. So I placed the first card back on the Moto X Play and the corruption message appeared for what seemed like less than a second every time I remove and replaced the card, that kept happening for a while, until eventually no message appeared even if I rebooted the phone. The card can be used by just about anything, but nothing gets recognized on the phone. I don't think that the slot is faulty since I've had the phone for more than a year now and more than half of that time I didn't use an SD card, also the problem started just recently and the slot seems just fine, the sim card works great and it goes right on top of the SD card. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
PS: Is there anyway to root the phone without sd card? I really need to root it. Also the phone is running Marshmallow.
I have been the owner of this Samsung Galaxy S9 for about 13 months now, and earlier today my battery died. When I turned the phone back on after partial charging, it acted extremely strangely. It rebooted to the secure boot pin screen a few times, and even to recovery mode a couple of times, rebooting about every 3 minutes. But that isn't it; wifi and cellular refused to connect, the screen would not go off if I pressed the power button, the settings app would not open, many other apps barely works, and the device was very slow for the time it was on.
I did the usual troubleshooting steps, clearing the cache in recovery mode, booting into safe mode, uninstalling recently installed apps, scanning with Knox and Malwarebytes, nothing. But, I remembered the day before, inside Samsung Gallery, there was a little text box before my images that said "SD Card has corrupted information, please back up your SD card and consider replacing it." I didn't think too much about it, or screenshot it. Well, to try something, I removed the SD card and booted normally. The only thing I changed that time was the lack of the SD card and voila, it worked fine. Haven't had an issue since, and I honestly think it might be running better.
For my amateur speculation/hypothesis: I believe when Android starts up, it tries to index installed SD cards. The card I am using is an old Samsung Evo 32 GB card, to the tune of 5+ years. Possibly, with the age of the card, there was light corruption in one folder or cell, and Android didn't know what to do with it. I can't find any corrupted files, but I guess Android hung on parsing the microSD card. I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone had heard of something similar; I sure cannot find anything on it.
TL;DR: A corrupted microSD card in my Galaxy S9 caused Android to lose most function, and bootloop. Usual troubleshooting did nothing, however, removing the card returned the OS back to normal.
Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post this question. I'm not sure where else to ask and I haven't found a solution online.
I bought 2 Fire 10 tablets the 2021 model, as well as 2 Silicon Power 128GB Micro SD cards (https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Superior-MicroSD-Adapter/dp/B091B2MX9S/).
The problem I'm having is that (almost) every time I turn on my tablet, I get the error in the screenshot: SD Card Alert/Storage device missing Insert device again.
This happens on both tablets. The thing is, once I get past the lock screen, the message goes away, and I can access all the data stored on it. I've got my card formatted as android storage, so I could moves app's 2 SD.
One thing to note, for the Apps stored on the SD, I have noticed that once I get past the lock screen, for just a few seconds the apps are grayed out. Then they light up like normal and are usable again. It's like every time the tablet goes to sleep, it disconnects the SD card, then reassociates it after it comes out of sleep.
Anyone seen this or have any ideas on how to fix it? I really don't think it's the micro sd cards as I've bought several of those exact cards in the past and this is happening on 2 different tablets with 2 cards.
