[Q] Can't mount MicroSD card - General Questions and Answers

After deleting one photo from my phone's 32 gb samsung class 10 micro sd card, it suddenly unmounted, and i was not able to mount it again. Also i was not able to mount it to my netbook(win xp), or my workspace computer(linux mint) with micro sd card adapter.
Is there any way to mount it, to repair it, or at least to save the pictures from it?

Looks like the Card got corrupted or damaged. If at least your PC detects the card, you could have use recovery software.

Try if any card reader can detect ur sdcard to pc,, and if detect u can try to format it,,

Have you tried booting into recovery and mounting/formatting from there?

Yes, i tried it, but it not works, recovery also can't mount the microsd card
I am still looking for solutions to recover my data from the card but found nothing.

Looks like your card is corrupted. If you can't get your PC/Lappy to recognize it then you're out of options methinks.
BUT, make absolutely sure that there are no lock switches on the adapter or the SD card which are actually preventing access to the card.

I am absolutely sure, there are no lock switch on the sd card reader, microsd card, and the adapter is not locked

or hook it up to the laptop like the normal and copy and paste either one
but i cant load files into the sd card by the computer..
it pluged it to the computer, but its only charge - i cant load files on the sd.

do you have an sdcard reader so you can try useing the card on the computer without the phone if not try taking the card out then going into recovery putting the card back in and then go into recovery again and try to format that worked once for me
ok have you tried formatting on the computer instead of the memory card?
also a friend of mine should be coming on to help in a lil but try to format on the computer...
if not turn off then take out sd card and try again
i've no sdcard reader, ill buy it tomorrow.
ive tried to format sd card in the recovery with no sd card, and than with sd card and it didnt work.
theres another way?
thnx very much to both of you!
hopefully that works man
thnx very much!

so your good now right?

Any idea how to format a corrupted sdcard?

I got a class 10 micro sdcard yesterday but when I tried to put music on it the write was like 2M/s. The computer froze in the process so I took the sdcard out before the process was finished. After I restarted my computer the computer wouldn't recognize the card anymore (no show in Computer). It wouldn't be recognized on my phone neither. It did show up on my friend's computer but if I clicked on the disk icon, it asked me to insert a card.....so I guess it might be corrupted because I got it out before the transfer was done.
So is there anyway to format the sdcard (micro sdcard)? I know there are many software that can format the sdcard but they won't work since the computer won't even detect the sdcard....
Wish I knew this as well. I have a corrupted 16GB Micro as well. Trying to format using SDFormatter tells me that it's in read-only mode or some nonsense like that.
Try this first:
http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/
Even though windows won't say anything when it's inserted, doesn't mean it wasn't detected, just means windows couldn't mount it. Insert the sdcard and theh download and run the program, selecting the proper drive to wipe.
If that doesn't work u both could try linux. Download any live distro, I recommend slax. Burn it to a CD and boot ur computer from it with the micro sdcard inserted via adapter.
Then use this command with variation to ur specific hardware setup
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/???# bs=1M

there is an official tool by the SD Association https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
You could try right clicking my comupter>manage>storage and look for your card and format it from there may work may not.

SD Formatter has revived many of my cards, it will also re-partition them and format it to a single FAT32 (or FAT if its a small card) partition. All you need is the PC to see the device (such as the card reader) in device manager. Also, if you have a supported card reader (90% don't though) it can do low-level functions such as Flash NAND (of the SD Card) erase.
If it doesn't show up, I would agree to try the /dev/zero method under linux, followed by a SD Formatter wipe once the card is back to appearing in device manager.

[Q] Damaged SD card / won't mount - fix?

So in short my Droid Charge's SD card is screwed up.
I keep getting the message Damaged SD Card message in my notifications and I click it every time to format but then it doesnt do anything. When I try to view my photo gallery it says the sd card is blank or that there is no sd card. It wont let me use the camera because theres no sd card.
I'm rooted running Tweaked 3.0 with the latest FP5 updates after unrooting back to stock in order to get them. Tried to Odin back to stock a few times and then reflashing Tweaked a few times and still the same thing. Did factory/data reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe a thousand times as well.
I am able to mount the sd card briefly in ClockworkMod Recovery, to view the files on the sd card but then about a minute or less later the sd card seems to unmount itself and becomes unrecognizable. Same for when I connect the phone via USB to my Windows 7 PC. If I pull out the physical sd card from the device, put it back in, hit connect to storage...the PC will recognize it for about a minute basically teasing me, letting me transfer a couple small files...and then unmounts itself and stops being read. Because of this I cant seem to partition the sd card in Windows 7 nor can I get it to complete and Check Disk.
I even bit the bullet while trying to format the sd card in CWM, and then while connect to the PC and I cant even get the card to format...
Obviously I'd prefer to some how save all the files on there before having to format if possible.
Tried searching around the forums but nothing seems to be similar to my problem. The ONLY thing I can come up with for the cause was that I mistakenly flashed the charge.PIT file while flashing Tweaked 3 in Odin. Not sure if thats the cause...
Any help and suggestions would be great. Thanks!!
It sounds to me like it's actually dead, or on its way. Try plugging it into your computer. Make note of the file name (eg F:\) Go to command prompt and type this:
Code:
chkdsk (drive letter with colon and backslash) /f /p
If that doesn't work, your last shot is probably this:
Code:
chkdsk (drive letter with colon and backslash) /r

Can you mount your SD card directly to your PC (i.e., pull it from your phone and use a card reader)? I've had troubles with SD cards in the past and by using a non-phone card reader have been able to save what was on the card or resurrect it back to the point of usability in the phone.

Yeah, I forgot to say be sure to do this with an SD or USB adapter rather than through your phone.

This actually sounds a lot like what can happen to SD cards on some HTC devices if the S-OFF goes bad. The two ways to fix it were to put it in a card reader and reformat it in Windows as FAT32, or there is a way to repartition and reformat it on the phone, but it requires you to know the pull /dev path to the SD card, and I don't know it for this phone.
Still no dice...
Ya I tried using an SD adapter that held the micro SD card, put that directly into my laptop's SD card slot and still had the same experience...it briefly reads and mounts...where i have enough time to dig few a couple folders on there and drag a couple small text docs off...then stops working.
I tried using those command prompts in CMD (chkdsk D:\ /f, chkdsk D:\ /p, and chkdsk D:\ /r) but none of them did the trick. Also the "/p" seems to be an invalid command for chkdsk? I cant seem to get it to partition in any utilities either.
Still cant format it using the adapter either in CMD or the regular Windows 7 interface.
There may also be an issue stemming from the possibility that I think its just acting as read/only. Is there a way to make it read/write? The option doesnt seem to show when i right-click on the briefly mounted sd card for its properties.
My last attempt last night was using Sandisk RescuePRO Deluxe. I started it around midnight and by 7am it was only at roughly 6.5% complete for some reason...arg.
Thoughts?
Did you try the disk management in Windows? Or diskpart?

I did try disk management in windows and the sd drive label wouldnt stay showing long enough for me to get that to work. I dont understand why its able to mount and then shortly after just unmount itself.
Havent tried diskpart, is that a command in CMD?

IIRC you will want to run cmd as administrator (by right clicking on its icon in the start menu). You should also look up some sort of guide if you haven't used it before.
Ughhhh
Still not working Im getting error messages not letting me format. It will select the disk though but then when i try to go further i get "diskpart has encountered an error"

Ever tried HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool?? Its supposed to work but dont have a card reader to find out ..>(

I had the same problem with my S3 and tried to recover data from card but nothing worked. Luckily I had most of it backed up. At the end had to get a new card

Same issue happened with my ADATA card. I was able to recover the files by wiping the SD Card in TWRP first. Then recovering the boot partions/files using TestDisk. It worked for a while but ultimately, like Lehocki said, I had to get a new card. I was able to return it and get a replacement.
Weird, I had just had the same problem and am also using Tweaked 3.0. Interesting. I also had luck recovering many files using TestDisk,,,however several files were corrupted.
Same problem.

So I understand you want you files and the card to work on the phone?
The phone supports FAT32 file system, if i'm not mistaken so you should format it to that.
Does a pc read the files on the card? Cause if so, then first copy them to you pc and after formatting back on the card.

Does the pc see the card and tell you it needs to be formatted or doesn't it even show on your pc?
If it doesn't even show up, you could be talking about a broken reader of your computer or a broken card.
If it shows up but you can''t acces, than it might be recoverable.

If your laptop's card reader is ok then check it form the device manager. Do you remember about setting any password to your MMC??
I've seen most of the PC doesn't show a password protected MMC.

Try testdisk (cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk), maybe it can recover your partition table.

[HELP} problem with sd card

hello, i have a 4gb microsd with my android phone
suddenly one day it stopped allowing me write or delete files from sd card, only read operations are done
normal check with windows failed
i tried to format with gparted and diskpart everything failed,
it doesnt have a lock, tried from usb card reader also
what should i do know??
(did a lot of googling tried many formatters none worked)
Try these:
1. Unmount SD card in your device, and mount it again.
2. Connect it to a PC using a card reader, and run CHKDSK.
3. Format the SD Card in a digital camera or a Nokia phone.
