I can't format the Microdrive. I get a share violation message when I try, then the drive disappears and only comes back once you soft reset.
In hard reset option to format microdrive this also didn't work. Tried this twice.
my micro drive is full and i can't delete the stuff I want to either.
I've gone from Black touch 2.0 to HTC wwe rom and still the problem persists.
Solution
I managed to sort this out.
I opened the Format Microdrive application in the settings menu and chose
Revover Microdrive.
I then formatted the drive immediately after before checking if it worked or not but the format was sucessful.

every time i soft reset my music or personal folders disapaer?
If you say it disappear after a soft reset,does it mean that it comes back after a while?
Have you tried reformatting it? It might be a FAT table corruption. If you don't have backup of these directory,may be you can try using pocket mechanics professional to recover any lost chains and clusters and hope that you can get it back before formatting it.
Good luck.
I had months of trouble with my Microdrive on an X7501.
Even a format initiated from the PC still had folders disappear and/or become corrupted.
I eventually did a hard reset and all seemed well - but I've noticed the music folder I copied there is now gone (since a soft reset). And I can't recopy it from the Storage card (first permissions error then after a retry I get a 'not enough free space' message.
Sorry I haven't better news.

If you've re-flashed the ROM, hard reset, and reformatted the MD, yet the problem persist, I've say you need to send it back to the service centre for diagnosis and possible replacement/repair.
THANKS
For Ur Help It Worked Thank You
Hi, I have an HTC HD2 which I recently upgraded it rom ver. 1.66.415.9. I used spb backup to get my main memory files. Somehow, in a way, I was able to get all of my files anfd programs with windows settings and registry using ROM upgrade mode without changing the rom version back to the old one. But the then when I took pictures then tried to open them in albums, they weren't saved. A probition sign (circle-backslash "no" sign) showed up. I tried to open it but an error shows up saying "unable to open this type of jpg file" and then the sign diappears, as if the image wasn't saved. I even tried saving a note file. After saving, I opened it but instead of showing the notes I wrote, symbol characters showed up as if the file was encrypted. After rebooting my mobile, the note file wasn't there. I still have enough storage space to save more files and pictures. Did anybody face the same problem that I did? Please help me and thank you in advance.
Can anyone please help me? This is really stopping me from being productive!
i would suspect the file associations / locations have been corrupted, probably by restoring the registry from a different rom.
(Registry really ought only to be copied over to fresh resets of the same rom, not new roms. It can be done, but its prone to issues just as you describe)
AND/OR
the image library files have become corrupted. Look in your image folders, and delete album.cache files. They will be automatically rebuilt.
I would try to consolidate what you have as it is now, if your files are all there, and your contacts are there, backup your contacts by some means, ensure all your files are on the sd card, and hard reset.
I have hard reset my mobile a couple of times, even before restoring the pim data without the system settings, the camera would take a picture but the picture wouldn't be saved on the sd. But after I restored everything, I thought of uninstalling resco file explorer (thinking that it was the problem) and deleting the library files, but nothing changed. But when I thought of formatting the sd card, I tried to reinstall resco explorer as it has a formatting feature. At first when I tried to install it to the sd card, it failed to install, but it was installed successfully in main phone memory. I opened resco and went to the formatting option. Once I started formatting, an error messege appears saying "Failed to format sd card. Please make sure that the sd card is not locked." Does this mean that if I formatted my sd card, the problem would be fixed? BTW, my sd is on a FAT sytem. To which type should I format the sd?
Thanks in advance
hmmm sounds like a funny sd card then.
use fat32
Seems to be the sd-card.
When I upgraded my ROM from 1.48 to 1.66 I restored main mem with everything with SPB-backup-file and everything worked fine from the beginning (except in setting tab still shows the info that old 1.48 ROM is installed).
Hope You made a backup of Your sd-card. So format sd on PC and copy back all files, should work then....... hopefully .......
ok now that's just wierd! I tried formatting the sd using the laptops card reader with the micro sd adapter, but an error appeared saying "Windows was unable to complete the format". I tried deleting the files but the laptop froze. I had to remove the sd to get it back working. Then I used a usb card reader. Some problem. Finally, I used the phone via the usb to format the sd. The error appeared again, but there was no problem when delelting the files. But after I tried reformatting it, the error appeared and the files on it also! It's as if there's a lock switch inside which the micro sd shouldn't have. What should I do in this case? Is there a program or a file that can unlock it?
Thanks in advance.
This is really irritating. My card doesn't allow me to save or delete anything. Formatting didn't work. I even tried a program to detect a fault on it but nothing shows up. All formatting programs freeze when I start formatting my card. Deleting any file doesn't work as it is restored after resetting my mobile, and finally, no body has faced such a problem. What should I do?
Hello
I downloaded an app called 'To Do List' and it created a folder called "download manager" on my SD card which i have since managed to delete.
However, everytime i boot my Hero, it takes a long time to start and always gives me the message that touch input settings is not responding and i have to force close. And then my keyboard does not work. Also, since installing this app my phone does not recognise the SD card. It says "Unavailable" in Settings > SD Card & Phone storage.
I put my SD card in a card reader and connected it to my PC and it recognises it and this is where i deleted the "download manager" folder.
Since then i have installed two different Roms and both are still giving me the same problem.
I have since deleted the app but i think the problem is there is a file called "download manager" in:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
When i click on it, it gives me the option to "Clear data" . So i click on that and it tells me it will permanently delete all of this applications data. However, when i reboot the phone the file is stiill there and running.
I'm no expert but i think this is what's causing the problem. Is there any way i can delete this file so it never comes back cos its really getting on my nerves that my phone isn't working properly.
I have done a factory data reset several times but still i have the same problem.
I have done the reset through Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset.
When installing the new rom i have done data wipe, cache wipe and dalvik wipe.
Still the little ****** doesn't go away.
Can somebody please help?
Thank you.
try an Sd card wipe as well when flashing a new rom.. including wiping your ext partition and then re forming.. that is if you are using an ext apps2sd
i'm reluctant to re-format my SD card because i have a lot of music/photos etc stored on there. i do have them backed up on my PC however it does take a long time to drag them onto my SD card.
I deleted the download manager file from my sd card so i'm guessing the problem file it stored on the phones memory.
Is there no way to delete files from the manage applications part on the phone?
Well I think you should give it a go.backup your photos and music and then re Copy them. Even if it does take up to an hour it maybe better than living with the annoyances

Do you use apps2sd using the ext partition. Not wiping that would be a problem when flashing most new roms

i re formatted my SD card and flashed a new rom and all seems to be ok now. took me a while but it seems to have paid off. Thank you so much for your help.
Your welcome.. slap the thanks button if you feel like it (cheeky)

I have been using checkrom revolution hd v4 for 2 weeks with DK 2.5.2 with no problems. But after a nornal reboot today, the SD card (internal) can't be read even after several reboots. I tried to formatted it but it can't be formatted either. Just bought my SGS2 two months ago only.
What should i do to recover function of my SD card again? Is it because of the custom rom that caused this issue?
Please help. Thanks!

Try doing a full-stock restore, making sure to do a factory reset, wipe the cache and Dalvik cache along the way. If you're still having problems, take it to a Samsung service center.
That's really strange though - I'd assume that if the OS can't read/write the internal storage, then it shouldn't be able to flash a ROM, or even really load the OS?
just a thought... have you tried to: connect your phone via usb as external drive and have windows do a repair of harddrive.
i had a sdcard which was "read only" under android, after that procedure it worked again flawless
in my case the cause was a faulty titanium backup file....

Thanks for the help! I suspect it might be Titanium Backup problem. The OS finally read the internal SD after a few more reboots but all the data inside is wiped out Not to mention I accidentally formatted my external SD by mistake as well. Sigh...got to restore everything bit by bit. Do you think it could be a media problem initially (i.e. problem with the internal SD)?
So I'm just literally fu*ked up. Everyting started yesterday then I decided to clean my phone using SDmaid like I do regularly once a month or so.. After cleaning it I noticed that most of my apps disappeared. Then I just opened settings, few other apps and everything crashed. Then I was pressing all the buttons and lockscreen showed up, but screen was not responding to my touches. I force rebooted it, but after booting everything was laggy and frezed again. Then I entered TWRP and cleared davlik cache and cache. Still nothing changed. I reflashed ROM. Nothing. I deleted everything, formated memory, wiped all the parts. And then connected my opx to pc, to upload rom, kernel, supersu. Then I noticed that the sd card isn't responding. I took it out and connected directly to my pc. Tried formatting it, chkdisk in command prompt, virus scan and so on.. Nothing - all my files left and they are unusable just like the card itself. How do I fix this? Then after wiping I noticed one thing - it says dev/zero process ended wit ERROR=255 and it happens all the time then I try to wipe /data. So I assume the /data is corrupted too? I hope you understood something and will be able to help me. Now excuse me while I'll be crying in the corner :crying::crying::crying:
How I assume is that the SDMaid app somehow managed to break my sd card and /data? Help, I really need my phone tomorrow.

it might be corrupted then. try out deleting and recreating partition table:
go cmd lane(admin rights)
1. diskpart
2. list disk
3. select diskN #where number is your microSD
4. clean
5. create partition primary size=x #X stands for unallocated space
6. select partition1
7. format fs=fat32 quick
8. assign (adds a letter for drive)

still nothing...
EDIT: So I removed the card and reset my phone to the factory settings like you suggested. Also did all the OTA updates and it seems to be working fine. (I hope /data issue fixed too) And I think I just take the micro sd card back to the shop for repair.

Indeed I would you suggest doing that, the first(factory reset) keep it, its pretty useful and handy tool. I also suggest you to not use any "system" clearing tools, android its not like windows ^_^ there is almost nothing to clean
