Hi,
I first tried to format my new 32GB sandisc micro sdhc card with my computer. That didn't work.
Then I tried to format it with my phone.
Settings > All Settings> System > Format SD Card.
When I press Format, the fotmatting starts (storage size: 30436,50 MB, Cluster Siz: 32 KB)... but at 38% I get the message: "Incomplete. Formatting was not completed due to unexpected removal of the storage card. The storage card could be damaged."
Of course I did not remove the card.
This happens everytime I try to format.
Does anyone have an idea what is cousing the failure.
Happy newyear !
Have you tried fomatting the card in another PC and/or card reader?
is it a cheap ebay knock off?
I have tried to format it in de built-in card reader of my dell xps laptop... and also with a sandisc micromate sdhc cardreader.
I bought the card at redcoon (75 EUR).

I tried SD mini card method but no success:
1. Formatted SD card using my PC SD Card reader
2. Copied file diskimg.nb0 to the mini SD card (skipped \Cabs for a while)
3. Put mini SD card to device
4. Rebooted device in bootloader mode
5. Bootloader mode starts - HP Logo displayed for a few minutes
6. After some delay device boots to WM5 - no flashing process starts
SD card is Kingston 1 GB (formatted both in FAT16 16KB sectors and FAT32). Tried to format SD card in my PC as well as FlashFormat from the device.
Still no success.
What am I doing wrong?
What to try next?

Try another card : 128 - 256 MB
Remember the diskimg.nb0 must be cut 12 bytes other wise your device will not hardreset.
diskimg.nb0 comes from pda-hack and is fine according to many other users (it does not require any modifications).
The problem seems to be mini SD card, I'll try another one but it's going to be tough to find anything smaller than 1 GB nowadays.
I`ve updated using 256MB Memory Card.
Worked fine with 128 MB mini SD card!
Important news for those who want to upgrade.
Use Transcend... Up to 1Gb
Hi Guys,
I had some problems with my sandisk micro sd card. I am a type of guy that likes changing rome. one day when changing roms, My phone was very hot and i decided to unmount my sd card. after rebooting, i inserted my sd card in and a message flashed: Blank SD card. i clicked on the message and reformatted the card and the same message came out again. i inserted it into my mac and use disk utility to erase the contents of the sd card as all the other options were unavailable. the time for it to erase took longer and longer. after one night, the time increased to a week and then the card wouldent format. i looked at many other forums and the solution to many was sdformatter, which unfortunately did not work for me. when i used my windows to reformat, an error occurred and i could not reformat. i went into device and printers to find it but it was not there. so i was wondering if there is another way for me to fix this problem as this is the 4th 32gb sandisk micro sd card i bought.
Try SD formatter on a different PC, if that fails then you need to buy another SD card or return it the the seller - try another brand if Sandisk keeps failing.
I have a 16gb Sandisk micro SD card which is readable by my computer under Windows 7 OS. I can’t format the memory card either on my computer. It only shows me the file type of the card is raw. Under Disk Management, the only option for the card is formatting. But the format process always failed in the end. How can I format my micro SD card to fat32 on my Windows 7 computer?

Hello everyone,
My sd card suddenly formatted by itself, and now it's doing me some trouble... It's a SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC and now some apps can't write to it.
What can I do to fix this?
Format it with the SD tool you can download, check the real capacity as there are many fakes sold.
If it's genuine and format doesn't solve the problem then throw it away (or return to seller for warranty).

A known issue of s3 with Sandisk sd. I suggest using the built-in Windows Disk Management tool to completelly delete card's volume (notice that there is a hidden partition of 10Mb in the card, separated from storage partition that should also be deleted- the partision manager should show them both).
After deleting and merging both partitions as one unalocated space, format it all by using exfat method.
A word of procution- I recommend to do this when the micro sd is connected directly to your pc using a sd card reader- just to make sure you won't delete phone's internal sd by accident...
Hello all
I have a Nokia 6.1 running Pie.
I have a 64GB MicroSD card, but everytime I format it on my PC to EXFAT or NTFS to allow files which are larger than 4GB (movies) everytime I put the SD card back in the phone it won't work unless I format it again in the phone which then formats it to FAT32 or something which doesn't allow files bigger than 4GB! It's driving me crazy as I can't find a solution! Also I've tried to format it in the phone to use as phone storage to extend the 16gb in the phone but when I plug the phone into my PC it only shows the internal storage as the 16GB, not the extra 64GB...
Please help!
Regards
