Hey guys my buddy gave me a 16gb micro sd from his droid x. I guess something happens with those things and corrupts the sd card. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys knew a way to fix sd cards so I could use it in my atrix. Thanks!

You can get a USB adaptor ($2 - $5) that turns any SD card into a thumb drive. Then just plug it into an available usb port in your computer and reformat the card. Should work unless there's actual physical damage to the card.
I've found that there's an added bonus in that it's faster to move stuff (photos, movies, etc) to & from the card when I have a full-size laptop screen, mouse and file manager to work with.
Awesome guys. I think ill try the usb method and if that doesn't work im guessing ill be going to Wolly world!
Thanks guys!

Hi, i know you didn't have any files on the sd card you needed but I thought I would mention this software for anyone who recently went through what I did. My girlfriend came to me upset that her card suddenly had no photos on it, so I googled corrupted sd card and it came up with some opensource software called testdisk/photorec. It found almost all the pictures and made me look good...

its called asda over here but steeling a new card isnt much of a fix now is it lol

Try to use disk tools to exam your SD card and format it?
My question is: How can i get the original 32gb capacity back, i don't care about the files saved on it.
Looked around on google a lot, seems like there isn't much hope...
Here's what happend: i did the wiretrick but got the arrow screen, i had already replaced the 2gb card (which i used with the wiretrick) with my original 32gb, then it formatted everything to recover the state it was in before the wiretrick. This caused my 32gb sd card to be formatted to 2gb..
If someone has a solution, i will be grateful!
Have you tried formatting using windows format?

Yes, but it didn't work..
I am able to recover my photo's video and music with a program called 'Steller Phoenix Photo Recovery', but there's no option to format or anything.
That's the weird thing, multiple programs tell me it is 32gb, yet it can only write the 2gb..

when last i checked the wire trick was pretty notorious for toasting sd cards, so if you had it in while doing it it may have gotten damaged.
hope this helps

Yeah, i had the 2gb in it whilst doing it, but i made a big mistake by putting in my normal 32gb card whilst restoring...
Im trying the mini partion tool as we speak!
Where did you buy your 32GB SD card? I've seen articles about people buying what were supposed to be 32GB capacity cards on eBay and they turned out to be smaller capacity cards (often 2GB) that were somehow formatted to look like higher capacity cards.
I've done the wire trick twice and didn't have any problems reformatting a card that got corrupted on a PC, but I usually buy my SD cards from Amazon or a local source.

It had 32gb in it when i bought it in a store. I don´t like buying online for some reason.
anyway, i fixed the problem!
What i did:
I recovered my files with a program you can easily find online (search top 5 sd card recovery tools), afterwards i formatted my sd card, didn't change a thing. Then i ran into a program called EaseUS Partition manager, this program allows you to 'merge partitions' on your sd card for free.
This basically formatted the part of the sd card that couldn't be used and merged it with the 2gb that could, now i've got the whole 32gb back.
Anyway: thanks everyone!
Any partition tool will merge partitions. Gparted, minitool, windows. Only caveat is winblows refuses to work with ext formatted partitions.
sudo passwd root
With mini partition tool thats only in the paid version..

Where did u buy it.? If u bought it off eBay then u r likely a victim of micro sd fraud. Programmers modify the code to make say a 2gb appear to be a 32 gb, but once formatted, the code is formatted and the true culprit is unmasked

How about you read the damn thread.
How about you place (solved) in front of your title?
That way people see you found an answer and don't have to read the whole thread just to find out you solved it already

You can always ask a mod if you cannot manage to change the title.
And all he was doing was trying to help you find a possible answer. The least you can do is don't yell because he tries.
Did I help? Then please don't forget to press the thanks button.
Is your question solved? Then mark your question solved in your title.

Yes I want to swap my external sd as internal sd, So I can have much bigger space on my phone. As you know the phone recognizes only internal memory as phone storage not the Sd card. I saw a video toturiol on YouTube about Galaxy S3 but I'm looking for SGH-1717.

Thats the ticket Brad.....
Based on that script, it moves the extent of what the OS will allow.
System data cannot be moved, but application data can.
Even then, some apps will not run from external storage....
Good find .....g

I'm going to clean install Beans 17 and use the sd card swap option; however, I'm trying to figure out what precautions I should take or what I should do to prepare and not lose data. I copied all my card over to my PC.
Should I delete everything on the card now or just let it on there and complete the swap?

As long as you have everything backed up, and there are no instructions telling you to have a empty SD card when you set up Beans with SD swap, you should be fine. I don't think having it full or empty will cause issues either way. Just make sure you read all the instructions and info on SD Swap in Beans thread.

Hey guys, I'm running Beans 17 with sd swap and I've been installing all kinds of apps with no problem but I noticed that the memory is being sucked up from the sd card and not the internal memory where I have 30 gigs. Weird, because without sd swap apps are downloaded into the internal memory and with swap downloaded to external sd where the measly internal memory is now. Kinda thought everything will be downloaded to internal all the time. How is everyone elses downloads going?

Thats supposed to be how it works. It is supposed to trick your phone into thinking your external is your internal I believe.

Let me clarify. If you go to applications manager, it only shows memory equal to your phone memory; however, for the new user, we'd think it'd show whatever is left on your sd card--now that your sd card is "internal" memory. So, instead of it saying I have 30GB left, it says I have like 1 GB left out of 11...or whatever the total is...
If I go to storage under settings, it shows phone storage as 64 and sd storage as whatever the phone storage amount is.

What I was getting at was that it tricks the phone, and the app market, into installing into the external card by making the external show up as internal to the app that are being installed. Thats my understanding of how it works and seeing as how i have never used it I know nothing of how it shows up just the general principle behind it and why it works the way it does. I may be completely wrong too, thats how I have seen it explained.
