[HELP] sd card error - General Questions and Answers

So i have about 8 gigs of music and such on my sd card.
Today I took it out and put it in one of those picture printing stations at Walmart. Anyhow when I put the sd card back in, I can't access the sd card. It seems like it isn't mounted. Tried mounting in recovery mode and received a nonspecific error.
Help?

Is your phone showing memrycard symbol with exclmtn mark?? Then data may be crrptd due to unwanted unplugging or semi formattng. You can recover your data using sd data recovery tool for windows..by tat tool even you can bring back the data even from a formatd sd card

I don't get any errors when I've got the phone booted up. It just simply doesn't work. I don't have access to a computer easily right now as my Netbook is also down (awaiting a motherboard delivery) any methods on android?

So I was able to plug the card into my computer, backed up the data, formatted ran a chkdsk, fixed any errors automatically.
moved my data back, and still no luck. at this point i'm thinking it's a hardware failure. I have been running at 1.78 GHz for some time, and i know overclocking incurs possible hardware/software malfunctions, however i'm not so certain that the oc caused the malfunction.
Already tried a clean wipe and fresh install of PA 2.99, problem persisted. I hate reflashing the rom because it takes roughly 3 or 4 days for the battery life to catch up to normal life. Right after a flash i get about 60% of the life from a full charge fro 3-4 days then it levels out and i'm back to 20 hours.
the reason i find it hard to believe my OC caused the problem is because of the timing of the malfunction.
Walk into walmart - sd card working
take sd card out, put it in picture printing machine - the machine doesn't read the images properly, whatever
put sd card back in phone - sd card doesn't mount
check sd card in computer - sd card still has files and ntfs formatting
so i'm thinking if i do a factory restore to the stock rom, it might work. although flashing is a pain in the ass. Does anyone think i've got a chance?
Thanks in advance btw

Tried the sd card in another blackberry, the card is fine. I'm just having a problem mounting it. I'm sure it's hardware related, but I'm hoping It's software. Already bricked an i9100, fried internal sd cards in 2x i9000's. I'm tough on phones. I'd hate to need a new phone. But sooner or later

Often times a damaged sd card can be repaired by formatting in another device such as an external card reader, camera, or other phone however as noted all data will be lost. You could attempt to clone the disk using WinHex, saving the data to a file, reformatting the card and then attempt to retrieve the data manually.
PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, but it is not working. I tried to reformat/wipe it on my pc, but then it says something like the card timedout.
then i tried to format it on his and my nexus one, but it is not working. it says that the card is blank. Maybe it is but i am still seeing the contents when i look at it on my computer.
oh yeah, i could see everything on my pc, but when i try copying over the data it says 'path is too deep'
i also tryied to partition it using cwm and amon ra, but no luck.
anything else.....i should try?
Do you have Swapper for Root or anything similar? That is probably the cause.

Going to take a guess and say you're on CM? If so I had problems with my 32GB too but on stock roms it works. I had to get a 16GB to use under CM. I'm not sure of the problem but there was my fix

Are you rebooting the phone after putting back the microsd? Sometimes that works.

As matter fact havent tried on Cm, im on MIUI right now. But im giving it one more try with the formatting see what happens if not will go to Eagle Blood see how that goes.
Yeah im since i noticed my sd card wouldnt show up unless would have to reboot. some files have been transfering but like awhile ago i d-loaded the files that needed for the game Modern combat 2 and after finished i rebooted or just quit playing and tried playing again and have to be redowloading the files over and over again since nothing stays on my sd card :/

That sucks, sounds like a bad sdcard. You still got the receipt?
I got my 32gb lexar class 10 with USB SD reader for just under 50 and its been issue free. Never liked Kingston products.

Tried formatting it using the phone itself? Miui is based off cm7 so that could be the issue as well.

Won't let me format it from phone since as soon as I put it in tells me "safely to remove card now" so kinda like automatically ejectects itself when I put it in. N got another problem :/ I bitlocked the sd card in my windows 7 laptop and as I was transferring files my wire was loose and we'll lost the connection and of course gave me files transfer error. But the problem now is that since I bitlocked the sd card won't let me get in it anymore, even though i put my password I put for the sd card. Just says something error with files and blah blah ;/. Can't even format or or anything anymore ;/

But i still did it and when i mounted it on my windows 7 i formatted again and this time showed me the 32gb size . So now its working properly.yeah buddy.

Moving from Weapon X to Miui rom my sdcard was detected fine but then after a couple of days of using Miui I wasn't able to open up sdcard when connected to my pc. It shown that usb is detected on my phone.
It only work when I restore back to WeaponX. I tried flashing different Miui roms, EagleBlood and PhoenixBlood. None detect my sdcard on pc except for WeaponX. I also tried to format my sdcard. Didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestion??
Try reinstalling ure usb drivers or not just restart the computer that would help with me. Or have you tried it with a card adapter?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
If you've tried it both with the USB cord and with an sd card reader, it might just be a bad sd card. This happened to me with a Samsung 16gb. I couldnt add or delete anything on it. Simply had to get a new sd card. Try out Lexar or PNY if you want a good one.

Question about Boot Manager

OK, so people talk about boot manager a lot, and something just came to mind... what would happen to the phone it you were booted into an SD card ROM, and the card was unmounted by accident? This could be a problem!
Sent from my Sensation using XDA
my guess is the phone will probably freeze or reboot, possible into recovery, if the sd was taken out. i dont think it would continue from the cache. if that happens you would need to go into recovery and apply the Rom Manager created update.zip found at /sdcard/BootManager/phoneRom once that finishes the phone will boot into the rom it has installed on the phone itself. i see using Rom Manager as a way to test potential roms anyway not to continue using from the card. especially if the card is class 4 or below. anyway, just dont remove the card and no worries
Thanks, that makes sense! But my issue is that infrequently, but it does happen, the memory card will RANDOMLY unmount... and then I have to remove it and plug it back in...

I also have issued with my new 32gb class 6, what I find is there will be corrupt file on SD card just few but make the phone always unmount. To solve the issues I have try format with various software and method. Even try using SDFormat tool but it will have same problem. After a lot of try I think I have a solution.
Format the microsd card on Storage Setting [ Settings > Storage > SD card > Unmount > Format ]. I also find the micro sd card can't be defrag or alter with computer.
I usually defrag with Defraggler, and it's always unmount. I think the phone can't really handle sdcard with class 6 and above because don't have issued with my other's class 4 card.
The Stock ROM I find always have issued than Custom ROM
Please backup or copy your file first to computer or other storage then copy back.
Just my 2 cent, do at your own risk.

SD Cards --- External Storage

Ok maybe I'm missing somthing but I got my new sd card tonight and formated it on the computer. Then put it in the slot and it not showing up. I did a fat32 format. The card is a sandisk class 10 32gig. Any ideas? as alway you guys are awesome. Thanks for the help
Any ideas why I can't mount my sd card? It's not showing that there is a card there.

I can put the card in my dx and it works fine but put it back in the s3 and nothing. I'm running synergy anybody thinks that has something to do with it. Maybe I'll try a different rom. Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
first try reflashing synergy. Something funky may have happened when you flashed the Rom.
If that does not work go back to stock and see if it will work on the stock rom, heck it is always worth a try. If this doesn't work, it may have been the formatting done by your computer that has made it incompatible.
If nothing works, take it back to the store you bought it from ( if you bought it from a store x.x) and just get an exchange because it is technically a faulty product to you right now.
Also, it may be inconvenient, but please list more info. What version of Synergy? What kernel are you running? Either of these could be the problem.
I will try to re flash ASAP... I'm running synergy rom nightly r53. And the kernel that came with it. I just got this 32gig class 10 card but my 16gig from my dx did not work either. I never tried before I rooted it. Hope flash will help.

All these threads I see about cards not being able to be mounted - can't you just format the card in the phone itself and then mount and use it?
That's how we got the 64 gig sandisk cards to work in the mytouch 4g slide - and when I took that card out of it and put it in the SGSIII it was immediately usable, didn't have to format or anything.
Why have I not seen mention of trying this - did I just miss it or is "format card" greyed out under storage options?

Do we know what's wrong with the format option in the phone then?
I phrase it that way because my over a year old htc device can prep the cards to work in the SGSIII - so thia device should be able to do it too.
If going from gingerbread to ics means losing critical functions like this, think I need a tally of all the missing features gingerbread offered before calling the upgrade progress...
...or is this samsungs fault and a device specific problem?

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.
