Hello. I have a major problem with my Xperia E4, it doesn't read SIM anymore. I believe it was caused by device encryption. A few months ago I encrypted my phone, I didn't have SD card at the time. Everything was working ok after it was encrypted. Now I have had an SD card and wanted to encrypt it. So I went again to encryption tool and checked encrypt sd card, after reboot it did ask me for my sim password, then I just left the phone to see later that there's no sim card. I rebooted and same again. I checked this thread: android.stackexchange.com/questions/61422/sim-card-not-detected-after-encrypting-device . Someone had similar issue, except device encryption caused this problem, not sd encryption., he solved it by decrypting the device. I did a factory reset twice and it still doesn't work. The sim card works ok in another phone.
Any help greatly appreciated.

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).
Sony Z3 - SD Card Problem
I have a Sony Z3, rooted, with dual recovery (philz/twrp).
So every time I boot up is says "Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. try reformatting it." I could still access all of my music that was on the card so i don't think it was really broken. But I formatted it any. But It still says exactly the same message and I am unable to mount it on the options, I cannot see it on the pc either.
The sd card is a sandisk extreme, which I have taken out and put into a nokia lumia to test and it works fine so the card is ok.
I am using this rom: "[Rom][5.1.1][D6603]Pre-Rooted + XZDR 2.8.21 [23.4.A.0.546] * Nordic *" / http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/rom-pre-rooted-xzdr-2-8-21-t3162851
I can't seem to access the recovery either It may be because those files were on the sd!
Anyone know what the hell is going on?
Well, I have completely restored the phone to factory settings, and still it cannot do anything with the card. i know it works on another phone so i might have to send the phone back
Flash SuperSU again... I had the same issue with dual recovery and SD Card, flashing SuperSU again solved my problem.
I've also moved the folder XDRecovery (or something like that) to the internal memory. Everything is working fine so far.
Have you tried fixing it from the recovery menu? I had the same issue and I formated the SD in my computer then, then in my phone (none of them worked) and lastly from the recovery menu and it seemed to work for me.
had the same issue...just reformatted on PC using hp disk format utility and uncheck quick format, set the format type to exFAT. THen insert into phone and it works fine...of course evrytime u reboot phone youll get the same error...just unmount the sd card and reinsert it while the phone is ON. it will work..seems like a bug to me...but dont worry ur sd card is fine.
For me re-installing the XZDualRecovery with the Windows installer fixed the issue!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/z3-sd-card-recognized-reboot-t3170817
i had this issue several times, i've just reflashed the XZDualRecovery to fix it... (no need to wipe anything)
Hello,
Its a new rooted device with android 5.1 and the SD Card slot looks good and seems intact. It realizes that i have put a SD Card into it. System Message prepare Card pops up, but nothing happens afterwards. Card is not showing up in any file explorer. I have tested the Card with a different device and it works just fine.
My guess, it is some hardware driver or software issue, since it works just fine with different device.
factory reset did not help and i can not flash any rom or firmware!
How do i fix this?
Format in your device
whenever I insert any sd card more than 16gb it displays a sd card is corrupted" notification. i tried a 64gb one on my xa and it did not work, however when i tried using it on my two other phone it works perfectly. the notification tells me to format the sd card but after i format it it says it's corrupted again. and help would be much appreciated. (right now im stuck with 16gb cards)

Seems like the problem is with the phone, try resetting it or better reinstall the firmware via Xperia Companion.

I think the problem is MM with exFat, I try Fat32, its work.
Can you help me please ?Hi luxmen
After rooting I found the same problem . I tried formatting on phone on Windows through card reader and again through cmd also through card reader and got the same result. I managed to get my old Xperia M2 back and reformatted which cured problem on the card in question [I reformatted using XA and problem returned].
I have seen on another post in XDA when formatted on another brand of phone this wouldn't work either.

This could be similar issue
So, about the problem. All was fine untill a few hours ago. My note 10 notified me that my SD card is corrupted. OK, no biggie, lets just take it out and put it back in. Worked before, but not today.
Tried the same SD card in my laptop, worked without any problem. I'm feeling trolled. Next i tried with otg sd card adapter. It says "no supported partition was found".
Next, tried another SD card, still nothing. Tried that one with otg - bam, works. So, it's not card that's bad. Tried another one, was empty so i formatted it on phone. Nope - still corrupted. No matter how many times i formatted it, it's always corrupted.
But it works on laptop. All 3 of them work on laptop. Two of them i can see with otg, the one that was all the time in the phone says no supported partition.
Then i thought, maybe the sd reader in phone broke. Rebooted to recovery and guess what? First SD card that showed corrupted message works just fine in recovery. Now, one reset to factory setting would probably solve the problem but i have tons of apps that i'd need to backup and no space to do it because my sd card ain't showing in OS.
All i wanna know is am i doomed to reseting android or is there any trick i could use to avoid that?
Copy all things on your pc,format the SD Card in the Phone and copy all Things back to SD Card
nope, didn't work. had to reflash OS
