hello everyone, i just got my HTC Mogul (Sprint PPC-6800) and i love the device, except for the memory card i have is corrupt and i cant format it. any file i put on there, program, music, anything gets corrupted and wont work. I cant delete the my documents folder that is the only file on there and is what i believe is causing the corruption, does anyone know how to fix this?
Try formatting it on your pc?
Like he said, you might have to use a media card reader on the pc side to format it.
I tried that and it doesnt work on the PC, it says Windows cannot format the device. Any other way to do it?
put it in a camera? do you have an adaptor?
Might be time to go back to the store
SD Card Failure on Sprint Mogul
I'm sorry you've run into the same problem I have.. Its the micro SD card that has failed. You may be able to get a little longer use from it doing what I did but ultimately you need a new micro SD card.
I got one of the cheap chinese MP4/MP5 players that use SD cards and used an SD card reader with my micro SD card in it..
If you don't use this your PC will refuse to have anything to do with your micro SD card.
I formatted the disc with the player and then used my laptop to format it again to FAT32 at least 16 sectors. This woke the micro SD card, it still has I/O errors and it misbehaves a lot but its at last usable and its 2GB can retain 800MB. It will hold until I get a new card...
The moral is to save your backups to your PC so you can buy a new card and restore to it..
Hi to all
Im having a small problem on my HD2 upon first time boot up from being flashed to CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2).
On the task bar its showing a SD card with a question mark and when i slide the task bar down it says "Damaged SD Card" and that i need to format it, I tried formating it from the phone it self but no luck
Have you tried another SD card yet? Is this your first ROM? Have you put that SD card in another phone, or if not available, an SD card reader? That could help give you some indication as to the state of the card, although I wouldn't rely on that alone to test.
I have toyed around with multiple ROMs on my HD2 and never had an SD card problem, although in the past I have had a card die when doing some modification on my G1. Also, if you are still using the 16gb card that's packaged with the TMOUS HD2, it may be a decent idea to consider replacing it anyway. It's only a class 2 card, and while that may suffice for many operations, it really suffers when you're trying to use an app like QQPlayer to apply software decoding to video.
Okay I found a solution to the problem, I tried using the SD card reader, and it was recognized on the computer, I could read and write from and to the SD card, and this is my fourth to fifth ROM I have tested on the HD2, I been trying to find the best ROM there is for it , and well I just grabbed another SD card that was lying around and.. boom it works im such a noob haha, I didnt think about it until you suggested it, but its still a class 2 SD card. Many thanks
I just had this similar problem with my 16 GB Class 2 microsd Card. Started happening once I created SWAP and EXT2... or 3... (can't remember) on the card for use in Android App2SD. What I did is I formated it in Windows and made sure Allocation size was set to default. Seems to have fixed my issue
Thanks, I fixed the issue now the way you said
The firs step is to download SD Formatter and save the file on your desktop.
Once done, eject MicroSD card from your Android phone and use a MMC card reader to connect it to the computer. You SD card will now be mounted as a flash drive.
Now make a backup of your SD card before proceeding further. You can either copy all folders and file on your SD card and move them to a hard disk folder or use some 3rd party application.
Now launch SD Formatter and click on “Options”.
In options, set Format Type Full (Erase On) and keep Format Size Adjustment OFF. Now press OK to proceed.
After this click on Format and let the application do the rest for you. Please note that Memory Cards with higher capacity will take more time and vice versa. Do not remove your SD card while formatting is taking place because this can permanently damage it.
Once the formatting is complete and you get the success notification, remove SD from MMC reader.
Now insert the card in your phone’s MicroSD slot and wait for damaged SD Card notification in the notification bar again.
Once it is there, simply tap on notification and press format.
Now wait for a minute or two, launch Settings > SD and Phone Storage > and you will be able to see your memory card’s details.
There you have it! You won’t have damaged SD card notification any more and your Memory Card will behave as it should.

I had some problem with the card reader and i accidently removed the card!! Is there any way i could get the card working?
Hello,
I lended mine SD card to friend. And inserted he's SD card in my phone. Now he gave me back my SD card. But all my apps are missing. Music/Video is working. But all apps are gone. No one deleted them, where did they gone ? What should i do now?
Strange thing. I inserted friends sd card, and all my apps was there and fully working. WTF ? He even did not have those apps . My apps somehow transfered to he's SD card.
What should i do now ?
if all your apps are on his sd card, plug it into ur computer, and transfer all the apps into a folder. the get your sd card and transfer all the apps onto it
cheers
I didnt moved anything from that card to friends card. How did SD card content transfer to a phone, if sd card never were inserted in that phone?
Situation:
I have my phone with inserted SD card in it. Friend asked for my sdcard(he needed more space, mine was 32gb) So i gave him. He gave me he's 4gb sd card. I inserted friends card in my phone. And all apps that was on mine sdcard appeared in phone. All apps that was on my sdcard, transfered to friends card from phone memmory ?
Now when he gave back my SDcard, i inserted it to my phone, and all apps that was on that card was gone. Apps are shown in Settings>Applications with SDcard pictogram. All aplications in list also has Size: 0.00, And when i push on any that somehow it shows "Move TO Sd card" function. But all theese apps were on sd card, watahell is going on ?
You could try to move apps to phone memory while using his SD, then move them back to your SD.
It's strange, anyway.
You did not change ROM or whatever on your phone in the meanwhile, did you?
One more thing i just noticed. I inserted friends card , all my applications that were on SDcard was displayed and working, it was like that mine card was inserted. But strange thing , i did unmount with friends card. And still all apps was fully working, they somehow transfered to phone memmory or what? I have HTC Desire, i think there's no enough space for all theese apps on phone memmory.
With friends card all apps are displayed, and in Settings>Applications when i choose application it shows "Move it TO SDcard" , so they are on phone, but with my SDCArd they are not even shown.
No i didnt change anything, except transfered few videos from to friends card via usb.
When i installing application that was already on my sdcard,(but now not showing up),
it says " This application will replace existing application" or something similar.
Inserted friends sd card all my applications were there, so i went to Settings>Applications, clicked on my one application and it shows option : "Move to SDcard" I clicked that. After that I inserted my Sdcard, and that application appeared on my phone, so it didnt moved it to friends sdcard. And when i go to Settings>Applications it shows Move To Sdcard . So it turns out, that phone didnt moved application anywhere when friends sdcard was inserted, but it made that application to appear on phone with my sdcard.
What the hell ? Its so strange and absolute nonsense.
P.S I cant do more Move To SDcard on friends sdcard, because it says No Space.

S.O.S someone!

any advices ?
I am switching to a new phone as my old one no longer seems to recognise my SD card. The SD card itself appears to be fine, as it functions perfectly well in my other phone and on my PC.
When using the SD card with my old phone, I transferred a lot of apps (as many as I could) to the SD card, so I guess that data is still there physically on the SD card. They do not, however, show up as apps when the SD card is inserted into my new phone.
So, what I want to know is, if I reinstall the apps on my new phone from Google Play and transfer them to the SD card again (to save internal memory space), will they overwrite the ones already on the SD card, or will the presence of those apps be duplicated on my SD card (i.e. one newly installed functional app, and one older version that is no longer accessible on the new phone)?
If the latter, can I delete the old app files directly from my SD card to make way for the new ones, or will this cause issues?
Finally, is this all just asking for trouble, and should I just backup anything I need to and format the card before using it in the new phone?
Many thanks!

(for your reference, I am transferring a 64gb micro SD card from an LG G3 to a Moto G5).
Hi, I have bought a new, larger SD card for my S7. The old SD contains only files, anyway in Samsung Gallery I have saved as "favourites" many photos that are saved on the SD card and I don't want to lose those preferences by unmounting the SD card before transferring all the data to the new one.
To avoid the problem I am thinking about switching off the phone, then removing the old SD card and cloning it to the new one, inserting the new one and switching back on the phone. This way the phone shouldn't (?) see any change. I had this done with a secondary drive on my PC and it didn't see anything happen besides the drive's model and capacity. Could this work on Android too?
I am thinking about cloning instead of just copying the files to be sure that all the "created on dd/mm/yy" etc data will stay the same.
I haven't found much on the web. Thanks in advance to anyone that will help
