Hi,
I would like to format my micro SD card, but I don't know how to.
I know that there is an option that says " clear storage" but it is for internal storage only ? or can format as well the sd card?
I haven't any card reader on my pc, so I have no idea about how to do it from Hermes itself. .

Keep your micro sd in card reader , you can format it only from pc.(buy one card reader)
if you want format micro sd from device , you need a 3d part application , but from pc is better.

The resco explorer, has a format storage card utility
I have done it already, and works fine.
pocket mechanic works well, also finds errors, cleans up, makes coffee etc
If you're on XP, just right go into disc management, find the card, right click, and choose format...likely a similar method on Vista, but I haven't used it.
No third party tools needed, etc.
Edit, oops my bad, I misread that you didn't have a card reader for the pc.
Another vote for Resco explorer btw, I couldn't live without it.
Well, I got 4GB Micro SD. Formatting (FAT32) done through PC but never been possible through Artemis by any of the softwares mentioned here. The SD works fine under windows, but I gatta take it out in every new ROM or Radio flashing. Is there any way to make it being seen by Artemis DOS system?
Thanks

Delete the folder "MSMETADATA" on your storage card and do a soft reset and that should work
Unless of course the sd card has failed... I had one or two do that... All you have, if the pc won't recognise to format, is a lump of plastic.... You'll have to get a new one...
phone no longer recognizes sdhc card
Okay, guys I flashed my hermes this morning with this
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html and now it no longer recognizes any of my micro sd nor my micro sdhc cards. They come up on the computer but not on the device. I even installed the sdhc.777 cab and it still doesn't work. Help please...
refuse2bstopped, try a different os... If that doesn't work you may have a broken or misaligned pin in your usb reader on the Hermes. It may also just be dirty or have some corrosion on it. If you want to clean it use a cotton bud and some isopropyl alcohol (surgical spirits). DON'T USE METHYLATED SPIRITS... It leaves a residue.
Cheers...
sir...
im just wondering if my mini sd is busted and it has no use anymore..
why can my camera still recognize that there is still a memory card installed in to my unit that its even asking me to either save the picture's towards my unit or mmc
im just wondering if it can still be recognized by my unit can i still fix it/format it so that i could use it again...??
i know your the expert on this that's why i thought of asking you this..
thanks for reading my msg'
I like to look at things step by step
1. SD card isn't recognised by Hermes - not even detected...
2. Camera detects it - did you try taking a few pictures and seeing if it actually wrote them to the card? I had a phone that registered the card but kept throwing up "sd card corrupt" every time I tried to use it.
3. Does a PC recognise the sd card when inserted into a card reader? If you don't have 1 I'd make this a priority to get, a friend of mine bought one off ebay for $5 AUD including postage...
If the pc recognises it maybe you should reformat it fat32. remember to backup any data first...
4. If the pc and camera have no problem then I'd start suspecting the Hermes... I have two sd cards so I have no problems testing but you may need to either get a smaller card - I use a 512 for flashing the os, or find someone who can lend you theirs to test. If the 2nd card reads then either the card is bung or the Hermes has a problem with it (incompatibility has been known to happen). Clean the card reader as best you can with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of cloth. There may be some type of corrosion or dust on the sd card reader contacts.
These are the steps I have taken to work out if the sd card or Hermes is a fault. Generally I find its the card (happened once to me and once to a friend).
Hope this helps...
Cheers...
Been through this. Very recently, actually. Like, last night.
I don't have a microSD reader and I found myself needing to reformat my microSD in my Hermes to FAT32. I was trying to do SD flashes. Long story.
Anyway, know what I did? I used WM5torage. As long as your ROM is functional and your SD card isn't wasted, activate WM5torage and have WinXP format your "USB Mass Storage Device" for you through My Computer. It only affects the SD card.
I mean, it worked for me.
sd 2gb
i have i sd 2gb card, my pc can see it and use it but only on fat format. i cant format fat32, i get an error(not able to complete). i cant see or use it at all on my phone. (the only selection i have to format (on my pc) is fat,fat32, default unit size)
please help, so i can use the card on my pc and phone
edit:i have searched and the only thing i saw was prog. to format sd, that prog let my pc to see the card, but lost the ability to see it in my phone. (sorry i dont remember what the prog was)
A very good (shareware) 3rd party programm comes from softwinter (storage tools)
rgs
If the PC picks it up, right click on the sd card and select format. Make sure its fat32 though. Easiest thing to do... NO 3rd party apps needed...
i guess i wasnt clear enough. my pc comes up with an error "not able to compleate" when i try to format my card in fat32 (that is when it is in my pc), but i can format fat (but thats no help for me). if i put the card in my device, it doesnt see it, so if i link my device to pc, pc doesnt see the card. so still cant format via pc.
i tried 3rd party as noted, as i thought, if my device cant see it the app cant see it.
thanks for trying, but still in the same boat.
it is a new card too, im woundering if i bought a bum card and i should return it for a new.
any suggestions welcome
Reboot pc then try again... I've had this happen too and a reboot seemed to fix the problem. Just a psychotic computer problem...Sometimes pcs can be..... TROUBLE..
Cheers...
i tried that again, still doesnt work. but i did see autoplay run this time, i think that may be my prob.. 2 progs. trying 2 run on the same source at the same time. now trying to find a way 2 shut it off (like i really need it anyway)
Hi, i have my HTC hero rooted with the last Villainrom 12.0.0, i recently bought a new micro sd card 32gb and i dont know why but after i transfer data to my sd card i can see it, taste it, use it with no problems, but when i put the sd card into my phone some files get missing, i dont know why, but they just dissapear, may get into some kind of trash folder hidden into the card, but they are just gone...
i tried eather mounting the sd from my phone trough USB and retrieving the card from the phone and pluging it into the sd card reader in my pc, it doesnt matter, the problem stays.
i thougt may be it was some problem with the partition, i had the partition to use apps2sd, ext3 and all the crap, but the issue was still there, then i formatted in my pc fat32, still the problem, and finally formatted trough my phone fat32 and the problem persists, i dont know if maybe some software on my phone is making this happen or anything...
i dont know what to think, i know my sd card is ok becouse i used it filled with data and had no problems before...
please help me.... im gonna cry
I have exactly the same problem with my HD2... trying to upgrade from 8bg micro SD to 2gb micro SD.... everything copies across (or so it seems) however all the files in the 'program files' folder haven't come across, nor has my TOMTOM gps folder files..... ?
I've tried everything I can think of, why can I not copy card to card via my PC.... I'm sure it was simple when I changed from 2gb to 8gb cards.
Any help very much appreciated.
So my S3 Pebble Blue is on it's way & I want to put all music & stuff on to my 64Gb Micro sd card.
Do I....
1: Format on the pc, if so which format & would the S3 still want to format when I put it in.
2: Format it in the phone & then remove & insert in to PC to transfer all my music & stuff?
I am familiar with android & formatting micro sd cards. I just wondered if being a 64Gb would be a different matter.

Just format in phone.

I also just received my SGS3 and inserted the SanDisk 64gb micro sdxc card.
I didnt format it, because it just seemed to work fine without formatting. Now I put all my data on it, but after a restart of the phone the card is suddenly corrupted...
In my phone it recognizes the card, but says its corrupted and needs to formatted. It then ejects the cards for safe removal. In my pc it doesn't recognise the card at all.
Does anyone have an idea on how to recover the data on it?
And what is otherwise the best way to format it?
Thx
RE:- 64GB MicroSDXC errors
I would use a external compatible Micro SDXC reader and connected it to your computer and try and recover the card on the PC. (first)
i) what operating system are you using on the PC.
ex-fat format problem in windows xp. If you have windows 7 it should be able to read ex-fat cards natively.
If you have xp you can try and install the
search for the knowledge base article 955704 on Microsoft Technet support package to enable xp to read ex-fat cards.
In the past I have used my external 9 in one reader to fix corrupted cards to recover the files from them using recuva or similar software it will restore the files onto your pc hard disk.
let me know how you get on.
Thanks a lot for the quick advice.
I don't have an external reader yet, so I ordered one just now. I have win7 on my pc, so I guess that will be ok. I'll try it later this week when I have the reader in.
Once I have it recovered (or not), what is the best practice for setting up the card? What's the best way to format it?

Free PC program Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva mount via USB or scard adapter.
Or even try Hexamob (need root) our some other file recovery app
When done, best and easiest to format through phone.

Hi.
Before flashing my SGIII to the newest OmniROM I made a backup using CWM. I backed up my files to the mounted external Micro SD Card. After flashing I found out, that the SD card was not recognized by my phone. The mount button in Storage Settings was greyed out.
I tried connecting the Micro SD Card to my Windows 8.1 computer with a Micro SD Card reader. No reaction on computer. Micro SD card doesn't show in My Computer (it did before I made the backup). It doesn't even show in Device Manager or in CMD.
I have tried multiple recovery programs on my PC, but none of them recognizes the card. I even tried cleaning the pins.
The files aren't important, if I could just figure out how to format/reset it.
Thank you all in advance.
Best Regards,
Andreas B. Ostergaard
Pardon, bump.
Just bumping again.. Please let me know if I should add more information etc.
I guess I should try another forum. Sorry for spamming!

If your still here, try connecting the card reader to your pc and go to partition manager on windows, let me know what it says I might be able to help you format it but obviously you will lose your stuff man.
Hi. I have bought a new 128gbSD card to replace the 64gb card currently in my honor7. My old phone Samsung S3 used to show the card separately as 2 drives when plugged into Windows (7). I could copy the contents of the card as a back up and/or move files from the phone drive to the SD drive.
Now , when I connect my Honor 7 phone to win7, the phone only lists one directory showing all the contents together regardless of it being on the phone memory or the SD card. I need to copy the 64gb SD content onto the new 128gb SD card but I can't see it. Is there a setting or something I should be changing to achieve this. Gently please, I'm a noob when it comes to mobile techie things.
Thanks AJ
Use a micro sd to sd adapter and an sd usb adapter on your pc its the easiest and safest way
Or use this simply from you phone. No computer needed.
