Hello. I was preparing for a full wipe of my phone (Galaxy S3 i9300) for a clean flash for my next ROM. So I did was I got a SD Card Reader and plugged my SD Card in and put it in a laptop to copy the files, while suddenly, my SD Card got corrupted. I tried to format the SD Card with the same SD Card Reader (not knowing the Card Reader was faulty) but it made things worse. So, I took a different Card Reader, and formatted the SD Card and now all seems well. Until, when I put the .ZIP file in the SD Card, put the SD Card on my phone, and install .ZIP from SD Card on my phone using TWRP (2.8.6.1), it displays the error "E: Zip file is corrupt!" So naturally, I restarted the phone into recovery, formatted the SD Card using TWRP, changed the file system to FAT (vfat) and it displays the error "E: Unknown MTP message type: 1", then I tried repairing the file system, and it was successful. So I did was put the .ZIP in the SD Card again and try it again, with no luck.
I have already used all of these to format the SD Card and the phone still thinks the .ZIP file from the SD Card is corrupted:
Diskpart
Chkdsk
EaseUs Master Partition
Windows Format
SD Formatter (v4.0)
---------------------------------------
TL;DR
Phone got fully wiped, SD Card got corrupted while transfering files because of faulty Card Reader, SD Card got formatted a lot of times, Finally got the SD Card running, but now, if I put it inside the phone, it thinks the .ZIP File from the SD Card is corrupted.
What should I do?
p.s. (I already downloaded the same .ZIP file multiple times to make sure it was healthy, and it is)

Try the opening the zip file on the sd card on your pc with winrar or 7 zip.
Else get a new SD Card

Yes, the .zip file does work. I can open it on my pc
Sadly, I can't get a new SD Card. Mainly because I need this SD Card because it is a 32GB SDHC Class 10 SanDisk SD Card, and it's not cheap to get a new replacement (of the same SD Card).
I would like to know how to fix this corrupted SD Card. Because everytime I plug it into my PC (and use Windows Check Drive for Errors, and Chkdsk) and find there's no errors. And then when I finished placing the files into the SD Card, when I plug it the next time, everything got corrupted, but Windows still does not detect any errors on the drive..... wut

Copy paste via USB cable? The ZIP might be corrupted in a way that the script is broken or somehing. Try copypasting the file via USB and if that doesn't work download a different ZIP.

I rooted my Desire, yesterday and installed Leedroid. When I start the phone it 'prepares the sd card', but then tells me that the card is read only.
What did I do wrong and how to fix it??
I've run into this a couple times when a file becomes corrupted on my sd card. Try to copy the contents of your card to your computer, if a file is corrupted a warning will pop up. Delete the corrupted file and your card should mount again. There are other possible causes, but you could try that.
Hi guys,
My phones micro-sd card has been acting strange and was not being recognized at times by my phone. I then proceeded to put it in its SD card adapter and put it in my Mac and got an error saying the card was unreadable. I then put it in a reader on my PC and everytime I try to access the drive it gives me the 2 errors, "You need to format the drive...etc" and after clicking cancel it says that my drive is an unrecognized file format.
Recuva says it can't read the boot sector and running chkdsk gives me the message that the file format is RAW.
Just tried running ReclaiMe file recovery and it says the card is only 30.6MB while it is actually a 32GB card.
Do you guys think there is any hope? Or should I just move on?
Any help would appreciated. Got a lot of pictures and music I would love to save on the drive, plus ROM backups.
Thanks so much

I've killed an SD card before.. not sure how.. it had been partitioned EXT3 for a rom on a desire.. then re-formatted to normal..
but the problem came months after without notice one day the camera was failing and the gallery wouldn't open..
I tried a new SD card and things were fine so I figured the SD card died
Try to use MiniTool Partition Wizard on your pc, and delete ext partition and swap stay only on fat32. if that does not work format your card to exfat. If that doesn`t work try use program "winhex"(before i used it, my computer hadnt read my card). I repaired my card 3 times these methods.
You can use this ONLY on memory card reader.
Hi Guys,
Perhaps you can help. For about a month now my sd card refuses to mount on my phone. It just happened randomnly. Now, obviously, I can't access my access all my music etc.
The card reads fine on a card reader and is visible in my 4ext recovery utility. It is not accessible via the usb connection either.
I have installed an old rom, again the message that appears is 'removed sd card' as soon as I boot.
I'm running endymion v2.1 rom.
Any suggestion would be fantastic.
Thanks so much
try changing the ROM you are using..I had the same problem..flashed other ROM and the problem was solved..for me anyway...
you could try copying the contents of the SD card onto your PC using the card reader, format the SD card, then copy back the contents from the PC, worked for me

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I have tried new roms and am thinking about ormatting the card. Cheers again:good:
I have formatted my micro sd card (samsung class 10 64GB) in Gparted with 1 FAT32 partition of 8GB, and the rest is EXT4.
Furthermore I have the following files on my FAT32 partition:
data2sd-jb42-that0_modByHundsbuah.zip
hundsbuah_v3.2.0-OC_JB4.2.1.zip
CROMi-Xenogenesis ODEX 4.7.0_Signed.zip
mount-data2sd.zip
First off, my TWRP 2.5.0.0 gets stuck on the splash screen with the sd card inserted, so I have to take it in and out again. Then, I flash the mount-data2sd.zip, and then I want to do a wipe. However, after this is done, the files on the FAT32 partition are no longer visible in TWRP and I'm unable to install anything more. What am I doing wrong in the process of installing Cromi on my SD card?

It looks like the TWRP can not read your External SD card. You probably need to format your External SD again. There are a few things you need to pay attention.
1. Your first partition is a fat32 and set it as a primary partition.
2. Your second partition is ext4 and set it as a primary partition also.
After a reformat, you can try to use TWRP again and hope that it can read your SD. Good luck.
I've done it twice, but I guess third time's the charm. Going to try with different software and see what happens
The same thing happened when I Tried it again.
Booting into TWRP with SD card inserted will cause the splash to be shown until the card is taken out
So I take the card out, and I'm ready to flash files from the fat32 part of my card. I flash the mount-data2sd file, then press back. Now, at this point the Cromi file itself didn't appear on the card so I press home. Trying to access the memory card again, no files show up this time...
I fail to see why, but what am I doing wrong?

Do you have another SD to try out? It could be something wrong with the one that you are using. It looks like you still can access to your external SD once when you first insert it in. These are the options you can try them out. First, when you first insert your SD, you need to copy all the files that you have from the external SD to your internal SD. From there, you can install from your internal SD. Second, when you first insert you SD, you need to install the cromi x first. When you have it up and running, you can connect your device to your computer and transfer all the file that you need to install data2SD. Good luck.. :fingers-crossed:
I've been rooted for a while without any issues, until recently I'm not sure what happened but suddenly TWRP won't show the /mnt folder or be able to access anything on my SD Card, I've tried mounting and selecting the SD Card in TWRP settings but it displays 0MB and won't select it. All I see is my Internal Storage files, which means I can't flash anything easily. I don't know when it happened but it was working about a week ago. I formatted my SD Card as ext4 in TWRP itself and also tried NTFS on Windows.
NOTE: I can view the SD Card in Solid Explorer and on my computer, TWRP is the only one that can't mount/read any SD Card files or even recognize it.
Is there any way I can work around this without formatting the SD Card?
