I bought my XDA I used about 6 months ago and continue to get a message everytime I power it up. The error is Unrecognized Card - Enter the name of the device driver for this card. For information, see the card manufacturer's documentation - Unknown card in Socket 1.
This message has been around with the original rom and continues with a Yorch cooked 400.16 ENG rom.
This message does not occur if there is a SD card in the slot (borrowed one to test). As I am trying to save up some spare change to buy a 512 MB card, it will be a few more weeks till I get the SD card. In the meantime, is there a way to get rid of this message (short of using an SD card?)
unchecked the "receive all incoming IR signals"
The slot in the T-Mo phone is read-only, meaning it can not use anything except a SD card to read data. Sometimes if you have a device card (like a camera) the device might be loading a driver during the boot.
I had this problem at one time it was trying to load a keyboard driver (weather the keyboard was present or not), my fix was too unchecked the "receive all incoming IR signals" in the communications folder.
Good Luck
what make is your SD card? could be a compatability problem :\ my dads ipaq 3870 gets it sometimes with a PQI compact flash card but works fine with sandisk. works fine with the pqi too just sometimes it comes up for no reason? but the pqi is 24x faster at reading/writing that why he likes to use that one
gazzaman2k

and it goes away when he puts in a sd card

Hey. I bought a new _cheap_ SDHC card online, 32gb... When I put it in my phone, the phone gets pretty slow while there's a notification saying "Preparing SD card" "Checking for errors."
Now it stays there for a long while and the phone gets very hot... Is the card defect or is there something that can be done?
Have a look for H2testw
Well the problem is that i can't mount the card since i don't have a card reader...
Please forgive me for not being psychic, you didn't say that originally.
No need to be hostile man.
Anyways, i let my phone run for a few hours, still nothing...
Does anyone have any idea? The phone IS rooted, so that might have something to do with it, gonna try to unroot it today to see if that makes any difference.
this happened to once, I bought a 32 GB from amazon and it was cheap. It was a disaster, all my data I stored in it was erased spontaneously. I returned it and had a refund. My guess, the sd_card is inferior
y don u get a cardreader an check for eerors or format an c....or u can set usb debugging and do tht if dont hav card reader...some use 64gb card wiv no prblm..
You don't need a card reader to check for errors if you don't have one. Just plug your phone with the card in it into a computer and search for your card in windows explorer and check for errors there. You can also format it from there also.
I managed to check it on a card reader today, windows does recognize something is going but doesn't allow me to format it or do anything except change the drive letter basically... When i check it through computer -> manage -> disk management it shows it as a MBR? Why is that and any way to go around it?
Oh and i can't access the card while it's in my phone at all, it just keeps looking for errors and doesn't mount it?
preparing SD Card and checking for errors
I am also having the same problem, My sd card always shows the message Preparing sd card and checking for errors in galaxy fit and I have formatted it in my pc and then tried all the other methods like deleting the msdos file from system/bin etc but still the problem persists. would there be any problem with my phone of sd card slot kindly reply
I got my Dell Streak second hand but the 16Gb card that came with it wasn't working. Not that the seller had mentioned it.
So, I've actually bought 2 16GB micro SD cards and both have had the same problem. The device recognises it upon first installation but when writing further data upon it, e.g. connecting it via USB or taking the micro SD card out and using an SD adapter, the files become corrupted. It doesn't matter what type of file it is, it all gets corruped and it says that the SD is damaged when the phone is trying to mount the SD card again.
This is the 3rd time it has happened so it's no coincidence.
My 4gb that I had in my previous XDA Orbit has been working fine ever since I got my Streak with no problems whatsoever.
Am I missing a driver for 16gb+ SD Cards?
EDIT- Just had a thought. I was transferring all my stuff from my previous card that was in my Streak to the new one, could this have caused any problems? I assumed you could transfer all SD data from one card to another and still have all the apps and data working?
EDIT x2- Had another thought! It seems like when things get put onto the root of the SD card, it causes corruption but when it gets put into a folder, it seems okay. Now this isn't a problem when the device writes things to the SD card- they get put into the appropriate folders, however I have never had this problem with the aforementioned 4gb card and always write pictures and movies onto the root of the SD card to view without any problems.
Hi all,
I've got a very strange problem.
my ext sd card gone crazy today.
I'm currently using the lates official stock rom and didn't have any problem untill this morning.
When I press either home or turn on button the lock screen turn on in 2-3 delay and got the following messages in the statusbar:
"preparing sd card"
"sd card removed"
"empty or corrupted sd card"
and the phone doesn;t recognize my card.
Sometimes I need to reboot,sometimes just use the home butten when lockscreen applied and ok.
I've got a genuine Sandisk 32GB class10 microsdhc.
What do you think guys?
That is more common that it should, unfortunately.
Your card is really corrupted, and I've had it happen to my about 4 times with the S II and once with the S III (with different brands and sizes of uSD cards)
What you should do is:
- turn off the phone and remove the uSD card
- using a card read (of any kind), insert the card in the computer
- Windows (if that's the case) will detect the card is faulty and will ask you to format the card. SAY NO.
- try to copy/backup whatever file you can from the uSD card to your computer
- after that, backup the uSD card using FAT32
- copy the files back from the computer to the uSD card
- insert the card in the phone and turn it on.
There's two ways to fix this eitger by replacing ur current sd card or formatting this one using a computer.

Thanks for the help.
So the card is almost empty,because I use dropbox and everything will be saved there,so I dont care if I loose everything.
what do you mean when you say"backup the uSD card using FAT32"?
how can I do that? I know how to format the card to FAT32/FAT etc but this is not clear for me.
1more thing:when my phone says"sd card corrupted" and remove it from the device and plug in to the pc the computer not recognize at all.I have to reboot my computer to recognize it...

sorry! I meant: format it using FAT32. don't do a quick format, but a full format (even although we aren't supposed to do that to flash media).

Similar issue solved with chkdsk /f
I realize this thread has been inactive for a while, but I found it by doing a search in Google after having the same "SD card damaged" error and thought someone might benefit from some extra input.
I solved a similar issue with my SD card by mounting it on a Windows PC (which did recognize it, however as unformatted) and running a "chkdsk /f" command from the windows command line (note: my card was already formatted as FAT32 before the issue occurred). CHKDSK did the trick - it now mounts again flawlessly on Android and I am not missing any of the 20GB of data on it.
So i bought this 32 GB memory card, it was working fine and i filled up around 20 to 25 GB on it. Yesterday all of a sudden, the phone couldn't read it anymore i tried it on other device as well, same thing. The phone shows me a notification saying "Blank SD Card, SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." When i press on it, it tells me "Are you sure you want to format the SD card? All data on your card will be lost" i press on format, but still nothing happens it just goes through another SD card check and shows the same thing all over again. I've been using this card for a month now and i haven't faced any problems at all. I really hope i could recover my data because i had a lot of travel photos on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for spending some time reading this
One last thing, when i connect it to the computer via SD card reader or my phone itself, it doesn't show up on my phone's drive. And the SD card reader won't even show up.
Hello,
So my sd card (16gb) appears to have stop working and the phone gives me the message “SD Card is blank or has unsupported filesystem.” This started yesterday after I changed default storage for my camera to sd card. Before that it was working just fine.
I restarted the phone, no luck with that. Turn off phone and remove and cleaned sd card, still no luck. I plugged in my phone to the computer to access the sd card, but did not show up, I guess its cause the card is not mounted? So then I thought I’ll just plug in the sd card to my computer and back up everything and then format to correct, but no that didn’t work… when I plugged it in my computer, my computer did not even recognize my card.
At first I thought maybe my adapter is broken, so I plugged in a spare sd card (1gb) I had lying around and that on worked just fine. So I googled what could be wrong and read that it could be that the adapter does not support HCSD cards. So then I plugged in my sd card into a USB sd card reader (which had a slot for micro sd which I used), but same thing – did not recognize 16gb card, but it did for 1gb card. I checked to see if it’s a driver issue, but it was up to date. Then I doubted the USB card reader didn’t support HCSD like the adapter, so I went out and bought a new USB card reader (one that works with HCSD cards) from bestbuy (Insignia SD/MMC Memory Card Reader). Still did not recognize card with new reader on computer.
I googled to see what my options were, but the solutions that I found all had the computer recognize the card – which mine isn’t doing… but I still tried a few things I read like chkdsk in command prompt, but I got “Cannot open volume for direct access” error.
Even though my computer does not recognize the card, my phone does recognize it but corrupt and offers to format. I also tried it on different phones (Galaxy S2 T989, and Blackberry Bold 9650) to see if it can read it, but same thing it recognizes it but corrupt and unreadable.
I’m still looking around for solutions, but if anyone can help me with this, please do. Please let me know if you need more info.

Sounds like the SD is toast. It's not easy to extract corrupted data from a micro sd card
