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.
I connected to my pc with phone in recovery mode but i was not able to see the card detected by pc bt somehow i used recovery software to recover files which worked then after sometime i disconncted and reconnceted my phone to pc with phone again in recovery mode then somehow in my computer i was able to see removable disk and on double clicking it i was able to format it. 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//
plz help

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.

funny problem with my memory card(sd sandisk 4gg)

im runing all kinds of roms for the past 6 months and noticed that i cant format my micro sd card in thuse roms...is there some kind of a program that can help me do it thru mydevice. i even tryd to format it through my pc but the only thing i can do is delete files.. not wnough since theres allways around 1600mb thats always inuse and a format is the only way to "clean it"..
im runing duty 4\29 now and have no issues or problems..same was with l26 v4 diamond...my device is working great... just that memory card is driving me bananas ,,,
howe somone can help..and thanks a lot...
Did you you try using the start=>run=>cmd=>FORMAT on a pc to format it. Did you make sure the write protection tab is set to unlock on the sd adapter. If it's set to locked remove the card first, then set it to unlock and reinsert it.
Also on the pc when you format it check the file system.
usually it wont do FAT32.
Just FAT will work.
Also the card should be unlocked anyway as you can delete individual files, so as ricethief says, you dont need to check that.

remove the card from the phone first. reboot. put the card back in. go and delete all the partitions on your card using your partition program. Recreate the FAT32 and EXT2 partitions.
sd card wont mount/g1 wont....
Maybe the g1 has a headache!
Keep an eye on the sdcard by going to menu.settings.sdcard... that should tell you the status. Re-boot usually gets rid of all my problems if my phone does not read my card for watever reason.

Its been a while since I fooled around with the sdcard and usb... but... I do remember installing some drivers for something or another (let me see what it was and if it is related some how... ) ill get back to you....
ok.thanx.do you mean the adb interface drivers??because i have that installed
try turning on USB debugging
yea, I'm having the same problem. The phone wont read the fat32 partition but it'll read the ext2. Trying to fix it tonight though.
If you are using ubuntu partition editor that will happen.. happened to me a good amount of times. Try formating it on a windows machine as a Fat32 and replug it on linux and it should work. That's what worked for me... took a couple of attempts... good luck!
hope you had backup your sd card
well i got my card working again.i think something went wrong when i partioned it and maybe it had something to do with the theme.i put the dreaimg.nbh and the update folder and luckily the phone read it.so it put me back to jf 1.30 rc30.so then i went back and updated.but as soon as the theme got erased everything went back to normal
Try this if you have windows, it worked for me, finally.
Use disk management:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
In Computer Management, click "Disk Management" on the left which is under "Storage." In the lower portion on the right, you should see a list of all the volumes. Right-click on the one you want to format and click "Format"
If it is a removeable drive you want to format, use "Removable Storage" under "Storage" instead of "Disk Management."

Thanks to: http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/44545/
Yeah, even paragon partition manager was reading it wrong, but windows disk management was able to format it back to fat32 without any problem.

I installed this driver today to do the custom splash screen. And now, my computer does not recognize the phone as a USB storage device.
When I plug in the phone, I get the "mount/don't mount" option. I chose mount. When I go into My Computer, the phones MicroSD card isn't there?
Any ideas?
I just uninstalled the driver and it works fine again.

[Q] [HELP!] Micro Sdcard corrupted

So I had this 8gb micro Sdcard that came with my phone and for Christmas I got a 16gb one. I had a lot of precious stuff on the older 8gb, so I put it into an adapter and connected it to my PC, planning to backup the contents and then put it on the 16gb. But when i connected it in, it said "This card needs to be formated before using". I first i thought the adapter was broken, so I put the micro sdcard back into my android phone so I could connect my phone to the computer and do it that way but when it turned on it said "Sdcard ready to remove". The phone wouldn't recognise it either!
I have already put other micro sdcards in the adapter and they work perfectly.
I have a lot of precious stuff on the micro sdcard so if there is a way to fix it without wiping everything, I'd be really happy to hear it.
Will give the person who answered best thanks in all of their last 15 posts.
Maybe try disk manager on your PC and see what format is says the card is..
otherwise try the phone again and again hopefully it will work. Ive had that before and a combination of playing with disk manager and the phone I managed to get the stuff off my card

i would try inserting it into your phone several times to try to get it to catch..also reboot phone while card is inserted..if you have to format the card you can still get everything off of it by using a program like "recuva" .. ive used it many times and it works like a charm..nothing is ever erased on a sd card..its only overwritten..so as long as you havent overwritten anything on the card you can easily get it back..formatting will not overwrite anything
Connect your card to pc, open mini partition tool wizard. Click on your memory in program and next open.
I tried putting the sdcard back into my phone several times and always didn't work . I went onto diskmanager and see screenshot below for info (it's g/ drive). I then tried formatting with various settings and always got a failure see second screenshot.

Hey. Thanks for the reply, I installed that program but it confuses me. How do i access my sdcard with it?
My sdcard is not partitioned or used for swap or anything.
Oh and I've tried formatting with exfat, fat, fat32 and NFTS and always fails
Do you see your sd card in this program? If yes try wipe volume
I checked your screens and your card is RAW- file system is broken or is unknown to the windows , try this:
1
close ALL your programs, insert your sd card to your computer and ONLY WAIT,(15 min.) do nothing, dont touch mouse (weird? yes but your computer will try to repair file system, fot 2gb is less 5-10 minutes, but your is 8 gb class???, that wait more)
2 (optional, but you should try 3 point)
Format your sd with windows installerr (format it during window installation using windows setup disc) you can cancell instalation after format without probles
3
If still nothing (after 25 minutes) try this program http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html - IT IS LAST OPTION WITHOUT SPEND MONEY
Tell me if it worked.

[Q] Micro sd card not workin

So I've been searching around for hours about my SD card not working anymore and can't find a answer.The problem is I can't put anything on it or delete anything off it on my tablet or on my computer.If I delete the files they come right back after I reboot or if I delete in computer they delete but don't go to recycling bin and as soon as I take it out and put it back in the files are all backI've tried to reformat with numerous programs and some say it can't do it,some say I need to remove write protection and some it says it does it but it doesn't.It isn't write protected,I made sure the switch was in position it is supposed to be in.
I've tried multiple readers and still no luck.I was able to copy the data on my computer but can't add anything to it.It is the sandisk 64 GB one.I've been using it for about 6 months now in my Asus tablet and haven't had one problem with it.I use root folder mount to store all my game data on it so I can play all my games.I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem.I can't find a answer anywhere about my problem.I've found hundreds of things about the card having errors but I'm not having any errors.I'm trying to run a program now and I'm hoping that this works but its still running now.I'm using HP USB disk storage format tool now and doing the long format.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

[Q] [Help] Sdcard not recognized after formatting

Hello,
I own a mtk phone, a Wiko Rainbow (Wiko -- a french low cost phone brand) and I recently got a quite awfuling problem: the sdcard is no more recognized afetr having been formatted The sdcard of the phone was no more recognized on any PC for some time. So I decided to format it so this issue be fixed. Then I did.
But now, the phone doesn't recognized the sdcard at all. No way to see it in phone browser. the sdacrd doesn't appear in Settings> memory too. I tried many kind of formatting : fast formatting, or not with Windows 8.1, I also delete the FAT 32 partition on sdcard, then recreate it in FAT32... No more success...
So I tried to access trough adb but no success...I get a strange error I've never seen when trying to cd to usual mouting point of sdcard (/mnt/sdcard1/) The error: Transport endpoint is not connected. Any idea so I recover my sdcard please ? that's really boring !
Thanks in advance
The phone has a stock recovery, is running android 4.4.2 KitKat, and is rooted.
[Edit] tested with an other Wiko Rainbow (which had some sdcard problem too) and same issue !! Exactly the same ! sdcard no more recognized with "Transport endpoint is not connected." issue trough adb ! I precise I used an other sdcard, but same brand that the first
So, to resume we have 2 phones Wiko Rainbow, 2 Samsung class 10 SDHC card, and exactly the same issue for the 2 devices ! Problem can't be software, because it's been updated some days ago for the both smartphones, and the problem didn't solve.
So I tend to think the samsung sdcard may be defective, due to too many R/W perhaps ? I have no idea.... Can somenone enlight me ?
Thanks in advance
Up please!
Problem not solved yet ! :crying:
Please help !
try using Mini Partition Tool. Format your sdcard from there.
Yes, it's what I did straight away, but doesn't work.... After formatting, sdcard is also rejected like if I had never formatted it and like if it was damaged....
i think your sdcard is corrupted. You need to buy a new one. (last option in my opinion)
Yes, it's what I envisaged at first. But how is it possible that a second SD card got the same problem?! Maybe it's the phone which corrupted the SD card?
