SD Card won't mount correctly in WinXP

Hi all, i do have big problem with my 4GB SD Card in Vodafone 845 (Androind 2.1) which won't mount correctly in WinXP SP3. New drive letter is assigned to SD Card, but when i try to access this new drive i always get message "Drive not found!". Approx. 1 week ago this procedure was working fine, and i was able to access new drive without any problems, but now this is not working for unknown reason. I tried to remove and reinsert SD Card, but it didn't help. SD Card is 100% fine, i can access data on it through phone itself - wallpapers, music etc. I thought that maybe USB cable is damaged, but it's not. I can access all data which are located in phone memory without any problem through this cable in Windows. Then i thought PC Suite app which was provided with this phone became corrupt so i reinstalled this app including phone drivers, but this didn't help. I tried to search for newer drivers for this phone, but i didn't find any. In device managers all devices are and were correctly installed - no unknown devices asking for drivers. So then i decided to do fresh install of Windows XP with hope that this will solve problem, but situation is same and it didn't help at all. I tried to install "automount" app from market, but it didn't help at all. I'm playing with these for long hours now, but still no working solutions. Can somebody help me to solve this issue?

The only thing I see is that you have tried everything BUT you have not tried formatting the card yet. Yes I know you are going to lose everything on it but that is the price we pay some of the time. Format the card and if it still doesn't work, let us know.

Thanks for advice!
Sorry for late reply, i was lying in the bed with flu. I reformatted SDCard and flashed new custom Mr.Edition 1.8 ROM. It's working fine now, i'm able to mount sdcard properly in Window XP now. Seems there was something wrong with SDCard, like if some installed app amended something in SDCard parameters, so WinXP was not able to recognize and mount it. Do you think is it possible?

sdcard problem

Hello guys! I have a huge problem! Every time I insert a sdcard on my 4.4.2 KitKat tablet it stuck and then after a minute it reboots...... Does anyone know how to fix this?

Are you rooted.
Or the sd card is of more size than what ypur debice can support.
If you are rooted then what last thing you did before that **** happened
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT

It sounds like a hardware problem, try another sd card and see if you get the same result.

The device detects the sd card insertion so sd card is correct. But its a software problem
It looks like that to me
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT

Try to format it in fat 32 format on pc try also a different sd card

thanks guys but I formatted my tablet today and the problem seems to have been disappeared! if the problem continue I will try your suggestions!

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.

Honor 8: SD-Card issues, Android 7.0

Hey guys,
a few days ago I updated the software of Honor 8 to Android 7.0. Yesterday I bought a micro SD and plugged it into the phone. The card shows up but the system claims its damaged. I used the option to format the SD card but an error occured.
It says:“command '17 volume partition disk:179:192 public' failed with '400 17 Command failed'“
I searched on the internet for fixes and tried to change the the file system of the SD at first. I changed from exFAT to FAT32 and now to ext4 but the same error message occurs every time so this does not seem to be the main problem.
The SD shows up in the DiskInfo-App but it says it is not mounted. So I tried to mount the SD via ADB or Terminal Emulator but without success. On PC there is an IllegalStateException and on my device there is an SecurityException when I try to mount it via console.
Does anyone have a clue or has experienced something similar? Maybe it is because of Android 7.0 or because I dont have enough permissions (root)?
Help much appreciated

From the sound of it you have a corrupt SD card
I'm on android 7 and have no problems with SD card

Is it normal that some SDs dont work on Smartphone and work on PC? I dont want to buy a new one straight-maybe there will be the same problem with a new one. First I would like to try some fixes

It depends on the SD card, the phone, and the reader on PC, but there can be some compatibility issues with faster cards (UHS-3) on older phones. The one I'm using in my Honor 8 now wasn't compatible with my old phone.
I'd suggest deleting the partition manually, re-partitioning it, and formatting it again. I've had some cards get messed up in my Raspberry Pi that were fine afterwards. You can use either Disk Management in Windows (Control Panel {View -> Large Icons} -> Administrative Tools -> Storage -> Disk Management) or something like MiniTool Partition Wizard (the freeware version works fine). Just make sure you delete the SD card's partition(s) and not anything else by mistake.

Thanks for the tips but it didnt work...
A few minutes ago I tested my microSD (Lexar 64GB) in a Galaxy A3 (Android 6.0.1) and it worked just fine. So I would say that the card isnt corrupt. Next up I tested the A3`s microSD (SanDisk 64GB) with my Honor 8 and it didnt even show up in the DiskInfo-App.
Both cards work as usual on the A3 and on PC and both have the same filesystem (exFAT).
I could only imagine that there is a factory defect with the SD-card slot or a software problem (Android 7.0 bug?).
Would a defect slot even show the card and fulfill the ADB and terminal-commands until an Exception occurs?
I dont know but I would trend to say its a software problem because of the permission Exceptions Im getting with the commands on my device.

I believe that Samsung (and Windows after Windows 7) has native support for exFAT. I am not sure that this is the case for the Honor8, but I haven't tried; I'm pretty sure it supports FAT32 though.
You should try to format the SD in FAT32. Not ext4, not ntfs, not exFAT.
On Windows, it doesn't allow you to format an SD in FAT32 if it is bigger than 32GB. Try the instructions here:

I tried FAT32 with the 64GB card and today with a 4GB card. They all worked on the Galaxy A3. My device always says the card is damaged and it needs to be formated. When the Pop-Up asks me to format the card and I click on it. The progression bar of the formating starts at 20% every time (it doesnt start at 0%) and cancels immediately and shows this kind of error every time:
“command '17 volume partition disk:179:192 public' failed with '400 17 Command failed'
The message keeps popping-up with every properly working card (the underlined numbers change from card to card) and nothing happens. After the error popped up the system doesnt even show that there is a (damaged) card inside. There seems to be a problem with the formating-process and the reading of the cards in general (formated the cards at the PC and in the A3).

How did you get to EMUI 5.0: official OTA, Charles method, TWRP? The first thing I'd try is going back to EMUI 4.1 and seeing if it works there. If it doesn't, it's probably time to contact Honor for a warranty claim. If it does work there, try updating to EMUI 5 again and see if it works this time.

Ich got it via the HiCare-App.
Ich looked Up the official page to rollback to 6.0.1 but a SD Card is needed somehow... Before I use some unofficial ways and may loose my warranty, I think I will ask for replacement.

Thanks for the very detailed answer.
It indeed looks like either a hardware failure or an issue with EMUI 5.0. If you have access to a USB OTG, you can potentially try to see if you can format/read the card from that; if yes, then the problem is with the slot, otherwise you can try to go back to MM using the USB OTG (don't know if it is accessible by the recovery though).
Having said that, as you suggested, I guess it's better for you to do a warranty claim and replace the phone.

I will have a look. I ordered a new one, which should come with Android 6 ex factory and an available Update I guess. I will try to Setup the SD under Android 6 and hope it will still work after the update.
I also have to admit that my phone behaves a little bit strange when there is a not readable/damaged card inside. For some reason there was a huge delay, when I tried to unlock the screen, at times. When I locked it and a second later I pressed the power button again - no special behavior. But when I waited longer (5-10 seconds were enough sometimes), the time to wake up the screen was ridiculously high. It took up to 5 seconds to wake up the screen (vs. less than a second) ,whether I used the fingerprint or the power button.
-> I searched for the problem for quite some time and voila -when I removed the SD the delay was unreproducible gone.
For some reason all my default ringtones are deleted as well but IDC anymore.
In a few days I get my new device and I'll share my experiences.. Thanks for all the advices
PS:If you have a unlock delay,try and remove your SD.

So I got my new device -fresh out of the box.
I plugged my SD card in and again the same error showed up. (At least it mentioned the brand of the damaged SD-card but maybe just because it's android 6)
I plugged in another working card and again the same error...
How high is the chance that two working cards on other devices do not work explicitly on this device?
So can anyone recommend a microSD (working on their Honor8) with 64GB ? (Available on Amazon maybe)
If this doesn't work, I see myself sending back the new device as well....
EDIT:It was definitely a defect of my two devices. I tried out the same SD in an Honor 8 at a public store and it worked just fine...

I have exacly same problem. Phone is getting hot and slow, when the card is inside. Moreover the phone does not read the card.... No idea what to do..

Broken storage and /boot missing (or unmounted)

Hi,
so I have a really weird issue with my Redmi 6. As you've read from the title my phone's storage is broken and /boot is missing (or maybe unmounted).
Let me explain what happened.
So my bro needed 16 GB SD card for postmarketos (the SD card was in my phone) so I told him that he could have it. He had 4 GB SD card which wasn't enough for the postmarketos so he gave me the SD card. When I inserted it to my phone, MIUI asked me what to do with it. There were 2 options. Use it as external storage or extend internal storage so I selected extend internal storage. When the process was done, internal storage was unmounted... I tried mount /sdcard but it didn't work. Then I came across a video that has sm command in it and it was a partition management command or whatever. So I tried mounting internal storage, and it worked! BUT when I opened file manager it detected internal storage as USB. I literally have NO idea why (MIUI file manager detects it as USB but Google file manager detects it normally). I tried to fix it with the sm command, but I only made it worse... When I tried mixing the partitions I accidentally typed disks instead is disk (sm partition mixed disk"s":128,179 50). Then I think is started formating the partitions. I was lucky enough to cancel it, before it formats the whole /. It formated only the SD card and I think /boot. I don't think I can give any more info about what is did. I hope someone could help me.
Thanks for your time.
Sucharek
PS I don't have my phone rooted or unlocked bootloader or a custom ROM

Note: Everything happened when the phone was on

Please someone tell me a fix
I'm waiting almost a month and so far, no answer
Please, if you can, tell me a fix
Thanks

Hi guys I have an update that I reset my phone and everything works now!
