SD randomly wiped

wtf. My girl has a rooted thunderbolt running shiftsense rom. Out of nowhere a symbol pops up and says blank SD card or unsupported file format. I tried putting it in mine and similiar issue. Any way to save this thing? Any idea how it happened? She didn't do anything and was sitting in a meeting. She lost data and phone connection and when she found me, this symbol was up also.
I tried remounting SD card with no luck. Please help! Ton of pictures and other important documents on there.
Almost seems like a remote wipe.
Please feel free to pm me here also it email directly at [email protected]

Sounds like the file system on the sdcard became corrupt. I've had this happen to me twice now on different roms. Try putting the card in a computer and see if it can read anything and format it afterwards.

Yeah windows can scan the drive and try and repair corruptions. Worth a try.

[Q] ClockworkMod froze during back up?

Hi,
I'm trying to root my spyrocket using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 and during the back up it is frozen on "backing up system..". I know it said to be patient but its been over an hour and now I'm getting worried. Any suggestions?

Restart and try again. Backing up won't change anything about your system. It only "reads". Should be fine.
Edit: however...never never ever turn off your phone during "ANY" type of write or flash.

tried that
But it still keeps freezing up during the system backup? Is it the size of the sd card? Its 2GB

Have you tried mounting the internal sdcard before doing the back up?

yea Its mounted, it gives me the option to unmount it so i dont think thats the issue. Everytime I try to back it up it leaves files on the sd card so I know its transferring to the card. I might try formatting the card and see if that helps.

How much space do you have free? Or is it the 2gb with nothing else on it?

Ive had backups larger than 2gb.
But I've also never gotten touch clockwork to finish a backup. It freezes on me.

Are you sure it is not the known ".hidenandroidrogress" problem?
While doing backup either in system or data backup hangs forever

Backups take like 750mb. After you format a 2gb card, that's about half of it. Make sure its empty. Or better yet, backup to internal storage and transfer. Just don't backup to internal then format, that's no good.

I was finally able to complete the back up after I formatted the card. Not sure why that worked but I'm Rooted and all is good! Thanks everyone for your replies!

Weird....my thanks meter didn't go up

[HELP] Cannot move files into EXT SD

Ok well i've tried for hours now.. using Astro.. ES explorer and even the native my files application and i cant seem to move pictures from my phones storage to my EXT SD card... and something else i noticed.. is when i adjust my cameras settings to save to my external SD card it gives me an error as well but i can still read files off of it.. so whats wrong?
i'm running Clean rom 5.0
it worked before on Stock and Liquid smooth RC7 and RC8

no one? come on...

All I can say is try a clean install see if that fixes it, probably not that helpful but worth a shot.

You may want to backup everything to a computer in case this sd card fails on you. You should reformat the sd card (to Fat32) and see if this resolves your issue.

[Q] HELP!

ok i have a samsung galaxy stellar / sch-1200 from verizon, cant find a forum on it so i figured this would be closest hopefully.....
it reads internal storage as "sdcard01" and i also have an 8gb external sd card. the phone itself does not have an option to move app 2 sd card in the application manager.
ive tried app's via the playstore and still no avail. app2sd and others..
my question is.. is there an option somewhere in the phone that i cannot seem to find or a way to get it to default save items/pics/mp3s/ect to the actual sd card??
ive looked all over to try to find out some similar problems and cant seem to find any info besides actually swapping the external to internal and vice versa using ADB.... i do not have this phone rooted and wont until warranty is up. if anyone could point me in the right direction or inform me on how to change the storage settings id really appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

Wrong phone and carrier... at least you got the Samsung part.
Edit: read the phone and posted. Sorry

Is it rooted? If so try Titanium Backup to move the apps

no not yet.. i will be rooting it in the next couple months but as of right now its not unforunately. its like the phone doesnt even recognize the sd card it in even though it is mounted and reads pictures and music that i manually put on there. but the application manager doesnt even have an option to "move to sd"

I don't know. Maybe it is mounting as read only. That is what happens on the xoom

shouldnt be.. i can move individual files that i have downloaded, its the weirdest things ive ever came across..
my og droid was rooted and my htc inspire, they both even before rooting had the option to move apps to the sd card. the phone has 2gbs of internal space so its not like its worse than the previous just blows my mind and i have no idea how i could maybe change it to having the external card being the primary storage. under Astro it says there are 2 sd cards... i know its thinking that the internal storage is the first/primary card. just dunno how to get it to switch over i guess..
thats the best way i can think to describe the situation..

For moving pics and music and such I would think a file browser like es file explorer or something would let you move from one storage to the other. I dunno that you would need root access for that. But apps are a different story.

yea the file parts im not real worried about. i am able to move them and everything.
i might be not able to really explain it the way im wanting to. its reading like there are 2 sd cards when there is only one in the phone. so the primary storage is to the internal (fake sd card) so it wont move apps to the sd card to free up internal space. thats my assumption anyway. so i thought there might be a way to change the primary storage but i havent found a way to. if that makes sense.

yeah there are external2internal swaps or whatever but I'm pretty sure you're gonna need root and custom recovery to do anything like that.

[Q] 1.2 gig of memory missing

hi all,
i have a problem with my galaxy s4 mini, yesterday i copied a movie from my pc to my phone, it was 1.2 gig big and after i copied it there was no movie to be found in the folder where i put it in.
i got a message that my memory was full, so im missing 1.2 gig of my internal memory, how can i fix this?
probebly it will be solved by going back to factory setting but thats a last resort for me, im hoping sombody knows a solution whitout a hard reset.

Silly suggestion, but have you rebooted the phone? Sometimes the file indexers crash (or get disabled) and the files are there but won't show up.
Also, tried another file manager?

You can, if you format your phone

If you copied the file via MTP from your computer, it sometimes fails to refresh the media index.
Try to look at the copy destination with an app from your phone, i.e. a file explorer that does not hide hidden or temp files. It possible that the file is there and you can manually delete it.
