Hey guys, so I was formatting my phone's internal SD card using my desktop when the whole process jammed. My phone did detected it as a blank SD cars at first and prompted me to format it but after formatting it can no longer be detected. Any ideas on how to fix it? I can't take photos, screenshot but I am able to download apps.

I have a question regarding the external SD card. My applications wont run and it says error while launching application. And when I connect it via usb, the selection appears for kies, media, and mass storage. If i choose media, it will show on my computer, but if i choose mass storage, it just goes back to my home screen. I am really buffed because i can browse the contents of the SD card if i use the internal file manager.
I would appreciate the help...

You could just get another copy of tb from the market... But wiping your caches(and fixing permissions) won't effect your sd card or any data on it.
The only time I had a issue like this required me to re-format my sd...
Were you using some sort of app 2 sd? Perhaps you put a partition on it? What rom? Help us help you

After formatting and returning the files back to SD card, the error still persist... Will this error disappear if i flash to GB?
Do you have the option of mounting/un-mounting your card or does it just say mount SD? If it only says mount SD then your card is gone.

it does have unmount option. I can also see the disk spaces and also i can browse the files with the stock file browser. Bt, im now running GB 2.3.6 and still I am experiencing the problem... formatting did not fix the problem...
When you formatted it on the PC was it set as primary?
Were you trying to update your ROM by saving your apps on the sd card then reloading them onto 2.3.6? I was wondering about doing this. Maybe gingerbread and froyo read apk's differently, and if they are already installed on sd card I could see problems arising. Never worked when I tried that with any windows formatting

So after having put my droid x sd card from a while back into the sgs3, the error with the blank sd card notification came up. I put the sd card into the computer and it still says must format before i can even open it. What if any software or recovery program can recover the files if possible at all or did i just lose everything permanently.
sounds like its corrupt
Try a program called testdisk on your computer to see if it's recoverable.

Hi,
I have formatted my sandisk 16gb microsd card multiple times via my pc(windows xp), my phone(samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket), sdformatter and hp usb disk format tool. All these programs say the format was successful but my music and picture files are still showing up on my phone. I also tried a factory reset on the phone but that only removed the files in the internal storage.
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I tried searching for threads with a similar issue but I was unable to find one.
Thanks
Does the card show 16gb of capacity after formatting? If so, fill that with generic files & see what the phone reads.

Are you sure the pics and music are on your external sd and not the internal?

It's a 16gb card but when I attempt to format the card it shows up as a 14.8gb card. I connected my phone to my computer and drropped a generic file onto the sd card but the file does not show up on the phone when I disconnect it from my computer. I reconnected the phone to the computer and the generic files is still missing.

Yes they are on the external. I opened the MyFiles app, looked under extSdCard and it shows all the music and picture files. I tried deleting all the files in the exSdCard folder but they all reappear when I restart the phone. I also tried deleting them from my computer but they all reappear after the phone re-scans the sd card.
You're putting it on the wrong card

have flashed several phones ATT, Sprint, and Verizon. I have two though I am looking at that have a an icon between the wifi and the battery circle. I am flashing CM 10.2 for FYI. The icon looks like a memory card with a "?" in the middle of it. What is it? Then following what is done to fix it? I have tried searching but without knowing the right words to search for I'm stumbling through. Please help me.
Phone isn't recognizing your SD card. Try moving all it's contents to a different storage like a computer and reformat the SD.

I do not have a memory card in phone other than the internal memory. Does the internal memory need to be reformatted? When view how much storage it shows 12gb both on the phone and plug into the pc. If it does need reformatted which way should I go with that? Odin, CWM, etc..?

I think it's a sim card error.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Is this the symbol (sim card)
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I attached the pictures is not the sim card icon. No sim card is in it either.
If there's no SIM card installed, then it makes sense for that error icon to show up if it's the "No SIM" error icon.
anyone else want to take a guess? I put a sim card in the board and it active, the icon is still there...
