just reformat your memory card using your phone.
settings>storage>unmount sd card>wait..>erase sd card.
it will work.
SanDisk has a nice utility which will restore files you did not mean to delete. You can choose to restore individual files or whole directories. This assumes you have not done a "real" format of your card, or written a large number of new files over the old ones.
You can get it in their support section.

I have a Storage card (SanDisk Micro SDHC, 8 gb) in my HTC P3650 (Polaris) with WM6.
Since yesterday I can't access a few photo files. They are corrupted.
I tried to delete them, but it wasn't possible. I even couldn't delete anything.
So I tried 'format'. Even this formating couldn't delete any file.
It is also not possible to save files on storage card.
how can I reset or delete or format the storage card?

Hey,
once got the same problem.
I used software to format the card.

The program should be fine, the limited shareware edition is enough to clear the card once.
Have fun dude,

Hi all!
I got a rooted and modded LG GT540 and I use a partitioned 4GB SD card (1 ext2 and 1 main partition).
Now I want to put a new 8GB or 16GB card on my phone. Is there a way to copy all the layout of the old card and build the new in such a way that it will be directly recognized by the phone, so that I dont set again the phone from the beginning?
Please help.
Thanks!
Hi there, just copy paste. If yo have a SD card reader use the computer for the new card and the phone as external disk. Copy your phone's SD card and replaces it with the new one. I recommend to stay with the original brand of the SD card which is often Sandisk.
But wouldn't that just copy data and not the partitions?

And that's exactly why I started this thread. I could just do the obvious and try to copy everything. However I believe there are some issues if you' re about moving to a larger SD. For instance, what about the ext2 partition. Should it be the same size? Should it be the same percentage against main partition?
Hi folks,
I rooted my phone using the S-on / unlock bootloader with htcdev /superoneclick method. Now I want to move from the original 8 gig card to a new 32 gig card with a minimum of fuss.
Different threads say you can just copy and paste, or that you have to format your card.
Any advice?
FWIW I have some apps running on the sd card but can move them back to the phone or even delete them if necessary.
Thanks in advance for the help!
What you have read is correct!
I have also upgraded to a 16 GB card from the stock 8GB card.
Just as a precautionary measure, On your Windows PC make sure View System Files / Hidden files & folders option is set as visible.
Make sure you do everything with the card inside the Memory Card Reader.
Copy all your content from the old SD card to a folder on your PC.
Insert the new Card in the memory card reader on your computer.
Format your new SD Card.
Paste all the content of your old SD Card (that you backed up earlier in a folder) to your new SD card.
Insert the card in your phone, check for Pictures, Apps.... Enjoy!

Cool, thanks. Just to double check - what format? And did you have to reinstall anything?
Format : FAT32
No, din need to reinstall anything.
If you wish, you could transfer the apps to phone memory from your old SD Card before you begin the process.

Thanks again, that worked fine, no real problems.
I did have to reinstall Modern Combat which was a bit strange but then it remembered where I was in the game. Odd but no hassles.
That game may be a one off case. . . May be that's Y i suggested you to transfer apps from your SD Card to the Phone Memory before changing the SD Card.
Anyways, Cheers !!!
Hi I'm really new to this Android stuff and well I have an 8GB memory card and just got a 32GB card
I have copy pasted the info from old to new but, all my apps that were copied to the sd card are not loading.
I copied some apps to the external memory card to save space on my actual phone
what am missing? or do i have to put all my apps back on my phone then move them again?
Thanks for your help!
Are the applications not showing only in the launcher or even when you go to settings--->applications?
If they are not showing when you go to settings---->>>applications then you might need to install them back again. Or else what you can do is insert back the old sd card and move all the applications back to the phone. Copy all the things from the 8GB SD to the new one and check if they work.
If you want better answer please do write your mobile model and be sure that the mobile accepts 32GB sd card.
Thanks
Hi folks, well I have a 32 gig external sd card that I recently loaded several gigs of music onto for a road-trip I have to take in 3 days.
Tonight I went to copy some files from the internal sd (not the 32 gig external) onto my computer, and it behaved strangely, so I powered the phone off to try again. Once the phone rebooted, both the 5 gig internal sd, and the 32 gig external sd cards report as being empty with all free space available, everything is gone.
I can't run recovery software from windows on the card , because when I mount the card it appears in windows as a portable media device, not a hard disk, so no recovery software recognizes it.
Anyone have any advice as to what I might try, in order to recover my music directories? I'm thinking I might be out of luck.
Thanks in advance

Who is the manufacturer of the card? Is it generic? This is an issue with cheap SD cards. Sounds like it needs to be formatted. Most likely your data is lost. Sorry.
I put the sd card in my older motorola atrix that I just recently retired from service use, booted the atrix to clockworkmod, from there mounted usb storage, and windows did assign the sd card a drive letter - I was able to run a data recovery program (easeus data recovery) and in about an hour recovered all my music to my laptop. Some of its in lost directories etc, but mostly the original folder structure is intact - in any case i've got my music back for my road-trip.
Why the newer lg ultimate 2 i'm now using only mounts the sd card as a portable media device, I don't know, and for the moment it doesn't matter.
thanks evolution
This had me thinking: if I was able to remove the sd card from the lg phone, and put it into the atrix phone, and recover/access the data - then what if for instance, you lost your phone, someone found it and put the sd card into another device/reader, and you had a titanium backup on that sd card- they restored the backup of some of your programs (complete with data)
wouldn't they then have access to some very private information of yours?
