sdcard problem - General Questions and Answers

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

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!

[Q] Damaged SD Card Help

I have a Samsung Galaxy Showcase I500 i was on stock 2.3.5 and i decided to flash a custom rom so i installed newest miui rom for I500 1.12.9 i think.. So my problem is that if i reboot my phone it seems to make the sd card corrupt. which isnt really a problem because i always keep it on. The first time it happened though my phone rebooted on its own and was kind of glitchy. Since then i have had the sd card damaged problem 2 more times but when i rebooted once and once when i pushed files from my computer to my sd card in usb storage mode. i really like this rom but i cant continue to reformat my sd card every couple of days and reload music download album cover redownload themes etc...its getting old... any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way i have tried reformatting with my computer and my phone so i know that wont fix it.

Reformat
Reformat your SD card by right clicking -> properties -> and format it. See if this helps. Also, try using another SD card to see if it is just your SD card or your phone that is bad. Deduce and solve
i have tried all of this reformatting from my phone from my computer every which way i could. i have used my disk management and nothing works. i decided to keep my 8 gb in there it is working without flaw. but both the 16 gb ones just keep getting corrupted. This is weird because when i tried installing miui with my 16 gb sd card it wouldnt work so after pulling my hair out for two days i found a post where someone said to use an 8 gb card to install it and i did and it worked perfectly. i guess this phone rom doesnt like 16 gb sd cards.

go to settings>storage>erase sd card or format it in fat32 via pc
When my SD card is mounted, it isn't detected on my PC, so I can't reformat or erase.

did you try mounting from recovery? I have a sd card usb adapter. It is really handy and I suggest that everyone who flashes picks one up. They don't cost much and let you get at you sd card directly through the pc.
Yes,that is must have if you flash roms all the time like the most of us do.
I got one for like 4 euros,and its life saver.

Usually XDA always has someone who knows what to do in all situations, but in your case it might be a hardware error. Something might not be connecting properly... and that can't be fixed with software solutions. I'm not sure if this is the case here, but a thought to consider.

Anyone else getting this problem ??????
I have meet this problem some days ago when I bought a new 16G class6 TF card from KingMax, this card have no problem when using it on PC, but when I using it in my sensation, it always "removed unexpectedly", after change it with a new SANDISK 16G class4 TF card, every thing was OK till now.
So I think it should be a compatibility problem, you can try to using other brand card.
I have the same problem with my HTC Sensation XE phone.
After using an app/game that saves info on the SD card, an error appears that reads: "SD card unexpectedly removed" and all apps that are installed on the SD card are no longer usable, nor is any information (pictures/videos) accessible. The SD card basically becomes invisible to the phone.
I have not tried another SD card yet, but I am reading other people have tried, and it doesn't help. I may try in a week though, when I plan to purchase another one.
Here is some info about my phone:
I have already done all its updates - it has SENSE 3.6 and runs on Android 4.0.3.
It has never been rooted, it runs on the original HTC software.
I am using an 16GB SD card on it - major brand, I believe it is SanDisc.
Also now the problem always appears when I try to update an app that is installed on the SD card, or when I try to record a video - in these two instances I always get the error now, and it gets very annoying.
The phone will randomly get the error on other occasions too.
The only thing that fixes this is to restart the phone 2 times in a row, as by first restart the SD card is still invisible. Another way is to manually remove the battery.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem?
I am surprised that I cannot find a clear answer and fix for this problem anywhere, even though so many people have this problem.
Please, help!
You might want to order a new card.perhaps it got corrupted somehow? Do you have a card reader for your computer so you can test the card its self and see if the reader or computer recognizes the card? You can find readers really cheap and they are very good to have. If the reader won't recognize it, It's definitely the card, if the reader does recognize it It's likely your device. First thing I'd try is a new card. Especially if you don't have a reader to check it. Hope this helps.

It's an issue
Hello Everyone,
I have an issue to report. For a long time I have been chasing this bug, although I was thinking is a hardware issue.
Here is the issue:
From time to time I have been experiencing an "SD card unexpectedly removed". I was thinking that my sd card is not ok. I have changed the sd card, formated, who knows what else I have been doing, but at the end the same issue.
I started to hate my HTC Sensation 4G. Reading forums, but no help.
I have noticed that this issue does not happens when I install Cyanogen Mod 9.1, but the software from htc same result.
Now let me tell you what ROM I am using and which version and how do I reproduce the issue.
phone: HTC Sensation 4G
Android version 4.0.3
HTC Sense version 3.6
Software number 3.33.401.153
Baseband version 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
Build number 3.33.401.153 CL391535 release keys
I have been using the rom from HTC Sensation XE, but the issue also occurred and on the HTC Sensation 4G ROM.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. I have installed SDCardTester https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.anotherflexdev.sdcardtester.SDCardTester&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFpci5jb20uYW5vdGhlcmZsZXhkZXYuc2RjYXJkdGVzdGVyLlNEQ2FyZFRlc3RlciJd
2. Start the SDCardTester
3. During the testing process call yourself from another cell phone.
4. Problem occurred. "SD card unexpectedly removed"
Also sometimes issue is reproduced when mobile data is ON and there is writing/reading to the SD Card.
Can someone else to try to reproduce this issue and to confirm this problem.
Thanks
Ok i have been facing the same issue...earlier this issue only came when i used ttorrent..but now suddenly it is coming everytime..i first thought its a hardware issue with maybe the card or card reader slot in phone..but if it was a hardware related issue the card also wouldnt show up in the recovery..but in recovery it shows up just fine n i even flashed rom from recovery where setup was in sdcard..this is surely kernel or os issue

Very Very Very Strange SD Card Problem

My SD card is in one or another way corrupt, I think. The system apps won't read the SD card. It's very strange, because I can browse the whole card on my computer and in ES File Explorer too. The Camera app can store images captured with the device, but not view them ...
I've tried to fix it with flashing ViperS 1.3.5 over my ROM again without wiping to see if there were any corrupted systemfiles, but no. That didn't work. So I mounted the SD card to my PC and backed it up, re-partitionated it and copied the backup back to the SD card. Still, the same problem is there. So I rebooted my phone into Recovery (4ext), tried to fix the permissions from there, and nothing worked. I checked the partition aligment and it showed me that the Fat32 partition was not perfectly aligned. So I deleted all partitions from the SD card using recovery (Fat32 and Ext4) and re-partitionated it from there, both Fat32 and Ext4.
Then, I tested the partition aligment and it showed me that both partitions was perfectly aligned. I rebooted and hoped it should work now, but no.
So this is pretty frustrating. Is the WHOLE SD card corrupt or something? My phone manages to load all my apps from the Ext4 partition, so I don't think that's the problem.
PLEASE!!! HELP!!!!!
The problem seem to have fixed itself ...! It's very strange, because almost every time I'm starting new [Q] Threads, the phone fixes itself... Strange -.- But, can someone tell me what caused the problem if it appears again?

Very strange I'm not sure what the issue was. I know with my SD card it showed corrupt or damaged SD but yet ran perfectly on my card reader.I formatted on my computer but still said damaged card. so I figured I needed to format through recovery yet when I tried to go to recovery it would say SD card needed. So I ended up pulling battery And getting into recovery that way then I was able to format. After I formatted from recovery the card was once more able to be detected and the error message stopped. It is a 64 gig. Maybe somehow your card wasn't formatting correctly. But how it fixed itself is very strange. I know in my case I thought I had a bad or damaged card because it kept saying damaged and was not able to be recognized because it needed to be correctly formatted even though I'd formatted it on the computer before hand. Maybe in your case it was an issue like that? Not sure but glad you got your issue fixed. SD cards can be touchy sometimes. In my case I had to format twice before it was recognised.

Dude, I'm going to get you to post threads about my problems too and see if they miraculously cure!
Maybe you should make a thread about a problem with you bank account because it doesn't have $10,000,000 in it! See if that's suddenly fixed. hahaha
As for the SD Card, did it suddenly work right after a reboot? Anyway I agree with Realsis. You can probably cure this problem for good by formatting the SD card, even if it's working now. Just save the contents to your computer first so you don't lose everything.

SD card problem

Hey guys!
I have strange problem, see I have 2 sd cards, one inside my htc hd 2 (gb) and one in tf300. I just reflashed rom back to CROMI (I have tried hydro by seanz) and tablet cant load my sdcard.
Its kinda weird because, when Im in TWRP, I can see the sd card and files on it. The card works without any problems on my htc and on my laptop. I have tried to format it to FAT32, exFAT and tablet cant load it. I have tried to put sd card from my htc to tablet and this one runs pretty much normally.
Well, if one card wasnt 4gigs, and the other one 32gigs I would just swap them and be done, but this is strange and Im not sure why its behaving like this.
Does anyone have some tip? Thanks

you didnt happen to remove any system app apks did you? i removed a bunch once and experienced same issue.
However if you didnt remove any system apps. Then i would first suggest using minitool partition wizard and format the SD card FAT32 as a primary partition. Then use windows to format it exFAT (its better to use but TWRP and CWM dont see the sd card then) but its worth it cause then you can store files greater than 4 gb on the SD card. Or just stick with FAT32 to eaches own lol.
If still a no go, try flashing the ROM again.
hey mate thanks for replying no Im sure I didnt remove any system apks. Im not sure where was the problem, but I did restore my backup and now everything is fine as usual. Since it was really simple to solve this issue, I apologize that I didnt try this before I posted, but it never ocured to me that this issue could be solved by reflash since different sd card was runing without flaw.
Anyway thank you for participating and for your time :angel:
+1 elesbb's post!
Note:
Using an sdcard in another unit can cause strange issues including not being able to boot.
Even going from rom to rom can sometimes cause problems with leftover files.
Format as suggested in pc and use in one unit only unless you reformat.

[Lenovo A850] SD CARD PROBLEM

Okay so it is been some months that I am using this phone, there is actually no problem with the SD Cards that I have used in the past few months, I bought this new SD Card(that has problem) in the last 1.5 month/s it worked really well and no problem at all. But in the last 2 days, I restarted my phone(changing sim card) turned it back on, then it did not detect the SD Card, I have tried some things like formatting the phone but it did not fix it, I have tried inserting the SD Card into a card reader and insert in my computer it worked, it detected the SD Card, I then tried formatting it from the operating systems formatting tool, I also tried formatting it with SDFormatter V4.0 but it did not fix it. There was a day when my friend tried to edit voldf.stab file from /etc/ since I want it to be like the External Storage will be Internal and vice versa. That is all the informations I can give and is in my mind right now, you can ask more questions regarding this tho thank you so much for reading and I really need help in here. I cannot figure it out.​

My assumptions-
-Faulty SD cage (in case you accidentally slotting in SD card with force)
-Recent change in kernel (I really don't know about kernels, check the other thread)
-Pathogens....( I mean viruses, probably system level that bugs the interference from SD slot to system)
That's my guess. You may try to consult an experienced phone serviceman, or Lenovo Service Center (if your city have one).
