You can install a recovery program on the computer and Connect the memory card to the computer, Retrieve Information

I have used hexamob recovery twice to recover images...
It offers to recover videos too...
Make sure u dont write or put anything on the card or ull not be ale to recover anything...
if it's helping you it must be thanked.

There are a lot of recovery applications out there for all OS's. Just plug your SD card in to your computer and run one.
Things to bear in mind, any and all writes to the SD Card decrease the chance of getting the erased data back. Removing it from anything until you're ready to try to recover the data is your best bet.

Ooopps... I have done lots of writing and had put some different roms and pics
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

If you write on it after the format, i don't think there's a way back.

Buddy just try our recovery softwares...
I'm up to sell my 64gb strontium card and to be on a safer side, I had written up the card to limit and formatted..
Still recover software could find the earlier files...
I again filled up the card and formatted it...
Dam again it could find the files....
Now I'm just encrypting the card to my tablet...
Hope it doesn't recover files again...
Or ill have to sack tge idea of selling it

Sd card issue!

Hi I'm having trouble getting my phone to read the sd card. When I put it in it says safe to remove sd but apart from that the phone doesnt even register that the card is in? I have had the sd card in my laptop for a while but formatted it first. I have a friend and its the same for his android but the 2gb he got with his phone works fine. Is there some sort of file structure that has to be on the sd for the phone to pick it up? Really need help thanks.

No special structure i would fully format the card as fat 32 not quick format .

Ok thanks for the reply. Also read that formatting in recovery mode could work? That was for a diff phone though with the same problem

My SD card is a zombie

so i keep deleting files from my sd card but they keep coming back.
i've pulled it out and plugged it to my laptop and it says files are protected? didn't know micro sd cards can be protected ( no physical switch on the side) nor did i find anything underneath properties tab.
i went as far as formatting it while mounted, all files delete but when i restart the phone, they all come back.
i like to know how i can make this go away, kindly advise. thanks.
What files are you deleting? Android puts certain files and folders on the SD card automatically

nothing specific. pics.
somehow they became write protected and i can't get it out of it.
need a new flash adapter , unless there is a way to remove write protected stage while its mounted to my phone?
Have you tried using an file shredder utility on your PC to delete them? Past that I would say its a mystery.

This happened to me a few times before as well it except I was trying to format the card instead. If I remember correctly it was because of some type of setting having to do with developers usb connection. I'll edit this post if I remember/find out what I did exactly

still looking, any one have a solution for formatting a write protected micro sd?
Are you trying to format it or delete specific files. If you want to format it find a hex editor, put a normal sd card and steal the hex from the normal sd card and put it on the 1 you're trying to format

Hi, trying to either remove protected content or format it, which ever way possible.
define steal? just downloaded freeware hex editer xvi32. not sure how to operate it though.
how do i steal the hex from another sd card?
I can't reproduce the problem so I'm unable to find the solution again. Sorry. That and I've also lost the 16gb micro SD card that had that problem. I'm using a 32gb now.

called samsung and they'll do a warranty exchange on it. problem solved
not sure how the micro sd locked up but it did, strange things happen i guess. i even tried multiple sd adapters and devices and still got the same error.
thanks everyone for their feedback.

Boot into recovery and use the options there to partition & format your SD card from your phone.
And if you paid $50 for 16GB card, you got ripped off.

Yes, this is the way :good:
Just learned I could partition my SD and restore it through CWM. Thanks to the OP and first reply.
It said that can't mount sdcard.can't read sdcard
Put the SD card in your computer, and use this to format it.

Micro sd help!

My card seems to become invincible...
Everything stays on it...music n videos...even if you try formatting with Windows or Partition Magic..
Wipe partition,Chkdsk,Delete partition....Everything Fails.
Card is again reverted back to its old state with those samne old files....
2 or 3 episodes of series seems to never let go...
I am tired of it....
Plz help...anyone!!
If the sd card is new try bring it back to were you got it from for a replacement.
Sometimes it not worth you trying to fix things thst are new.
If not sorry I cant help.
I hope its not one of them sdcard that have been adjusted to say one thing and does another

When asking for help it is generally beneficial to tell us all details. So..........
Can you tell us what brand card it is as well as size and what file system you formatted it to?
Have you tried SD Formatter

Some sd cards have a small pin to move to make them read only... try flipping it.
Otherwise the card must be faulty. Did u try mini partition?

Apparently the SanDisk cards have been having issues. I just sent mine in because my tablet wouldn't recognize it. I kept getting a sd card error message for a few months but it would eventually get recognized until last week where no matter what I tried, it just wasn't getting picked up by my tablet.
If I were you, I would send it in before the warranty expires unless you it says ultra on it which I think is a lifetime warranty but at least call them up and see what they have to say.

How to format the SD Card from my phone without losing data?

My computer just passed away, so now I'm left with my HTC One and my iPad. I need format my SD Card without a computer, so I obviously would like to keep some of my data. Is that possible? Can I just partition the SD Card? Help!
Heuu soryy you cant or maybe sd partitioner is existing as an apk
Sent from my LG-P895 using xda premium
I don't believe that you can.
"Formatting", by definition wipes all the data on your SD card.
What about backing it up to a cloud service of your choice,or just email the things you want to keep ....to yourself,at least you can keep your pics an stuff,I do that for my build prop mods and apks I have on my SD when I'm not around my PC.

Try AirDroid , to transfer stuff to your iPad over WiFi
Then partition/format, open up AirDroid again, drop your contents back to phone.
Note: only works if u have a small amount of data to transfer around
