[Q] SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem on Android (Htc Magic/Sapphire)

Hi everyone!
I am very new to this forum as well as any deep knowledge of Android OS.I have a problem with my Htc Magic phone. It doesn't read sd cards anymore; every sd card (new or used) I put in the phone it says the same message (while my pc can read them using a card reader) "SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem". I tried to format the SD card both with pc and phone, with no results.
I had already taken the following steps :-
1) Formatted the card using PC & Phone
2) Formatted the card using SD Formatter v3.0
3) Reseated the SD card after pulling it out,pushing it back in and rebooting
4) Reverted back to Android 1.6 after an official Android 2.2 update
5) Run Anti-virus check on the whole mobile using Dr.Web android anti-virus app.
6) Physically opened up phone to check all the connectors are intact, which are
indeed intact and packed the phone again.
All these steps taken but nothing, the problem still persists.Is this some kind of hardware failure or a unknown software glitch.Many people are facing this issue but no proper resolution to this problem.
I would also like to add that while reverting my phone from Android 2.2 to 1.6, the phone was able to read image file "sappimg" from the sd card in recovery mode, but after that when the phone booted the same error message is coming up.
Guys please help me out on this if U have some solution as I am clueless now.
What can I do? Thanks!

"SD Card safe to remove" "Preparing SD card" over and over again.

Hi fellows, sorry to bother you i always try to manage to solve all problems on my own (researching) but there no info on the subject.
A bit of history: im the happy owner of an MT7-L09 since last month. I bought it with a Sandisk Ultra 32gb micro sd class10. I've been using the phone without any problems. Didnt even tried to root it.
What i actually did was to set up the SD card as a the default memory location. I dont actually really know what this does apart from saving all media in the SD (mainly google play music, photos and videos i shoot with the camera, some big obb files, etc).
Last week i downloaded oficial Lollipop 5.1.1 release and did a manual update. All good, i kept on using it without any problems (aside from considerably lower battery life) for a couple of days.
Then i decided to gain root access. I followed this steps after googling for help.
I gained root access but after this, it keeps looping between "sd card safe to remove" and "preparing sd card" as long as my sd card is in its slot.
After that i:
Got SD card out, used a PC to backup contents (no damages), gave it a quick format in windows fat32, then format in android. PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE
Then i went back to the pc and gave the card a slow full fat32 format, then format again in andoird. PROBLEM STILL HERE
I also recently bought an action cam with the same SD model. Got that one out and placed it straight into the phone replacing the other. SAME TYPE of SD HERE, SAME MODEL. PROBLEM PERSISTS.
I think it might be related to flashing a recovery or something like that while i had my sd card as default memory location. I really dont know what to do to ger it read any of my SD cards again.
Shall i flash original kit kat firmware again? maybe 5.1.1 again and loose root access? I couldnt find any information regarding this issue rather than try another SD card which i already did (the problem surfaced after the process of gaining root access).
Any clues?
Thaks

I just started having this problem today. I have been on the official 5.1.1 since it launched and never came across any issue until this morning. I never ever rooted or flashed anything custom and the boot loader is still locked.
As of today I started having this issue, looping between "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" however I am able to access the SD Card and intervals. The SD Card works perfectly fine on any other device.
One thing I changed recently (2 days ago) is the default memory location, I set it to SD Card, so I am going to revert that setting back to Internal Memory and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip
If anyone else has come across this issue and/or knows how to fix it please help
UPDATE: I tried reverting the default location setting back to "Internal storage" and found that the setting had already reverted back automatically, presumably because the SD Card is not always available So no luck with that. I am starting to suspect it's a hardware issue!
UPDATE 2: I left the SD Card in the device and connected it to the PC in order to take a backup using HiSuite. As soon as I plugged it in the error stopped cropping up. I finished the backup, unplugged the USB and so far the "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" did not show up again. It's been over an hour now. Yesterday I plugged in the device to my PC in order to copy some pictures so something may have happened at that point I'm suspecting.

It's been over 12 hours now so I'm guessing all it needed was to connect it to the pc again [emoji2]

Now that you mention Hi Suite, i played arround a bit with it before the error appeared. im gonna give it a shot

I've done that the root and installed the recovery and microSD goes into loop does not know what to do help ..

Mine is still steady after a few days, hope you fix yours too [emoji6]

Solved. It must be some issue caused by HiSuite. I connected, made full backup, safely extracted SD from computer and problem seems to have ceased.
Thanks

I got this problem today after reflashing stock recovery.
It disappears after remove and reinsert sd card, but after a reboot problem was still there.
Now I solved checking debug usb setting, because after recovery flash it has been disabled itself.

I have this problem but with the USB storage device, I bought a new one which has two plugs, one is usb the other is micro, to transfer from laptop to phone without cables. It works on PC, it works on my husband's Huawei Mate 7, but just loops on mine. Other USB storage work fine on my phone with cable, but this new one just loops "preparing to connect" and " USB removed", even when trying to connect with cable.
All software is up to date, no modifications have been made.
Any simple ideas would be appreciated (I'm not into flashing/rooting etc!)

Damaged memory card try reformatting

i rooted my phone 2 years ago and have been using ICS rom on my htc pico i.e. explorer with twrp recovery from 5 months and yesterday outofnowhere my rebooted automatically and stuck on htc logo then i went into recovery where i realized that it was unable to mount.

At this point i would say my problems were gone ,in recovery mode i was able to see my sd card but then i do a TERRIBLE MISTAKE. I partitioned my memory card from the partition option in twrp recovery and then it was back to damaged state(me mentally damaged ). I tried evreything i tried before,but nothing helped,even the recovery software which detected my mem card previously now didnt detect it
Now my computer is also not showing it even the " removable disk" which it showed previously somehow and i was able too see it.

use an adapter to put the card in your pc, then get a program for your pc to format the card properly, then put the card back into your phone.

thanx man it helped but instead using card reader i used nokia basic phone as i was not having card reader and nokia phone worked as card reader but now i have another problem ,, had partitioned it using twrp recovery and out of 14.8 gb i partiitoned 1.2 gb so remaining is 13.5 but now the problem is dat in mini partition i can see 13.5 usable and fat32 but remaining is umallocated it says,and when i delete both partitions and create partition after applung successful msg comes but i see a bad disk error and when discoonect and reconnect again ,i again see a primary 13.5gb and unallocated 1.2 gb//

buy an adapter and fix it properly on your pc. adapters are not expensive, im guessing less than $5. a lot of sd cards come with them when you buy it.
plus, when in pc, you can use tools to check the card for errors and bad sectors. maybe partly bad, thats why you are having problems.

Okay now I got an adapter but still no use,, I cannot use chkdsk as some error comes, diskpart clean shows io error
Help.....

along with the previous suggestion, you can use this to make sure its genuine, and it will report bad sectors and other things.
you should use this first to make sure there are no issues with the card before attempting to fix something that may not be fixable.
