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

Not sure where you bought your phone at. Have you taken it to a tmobile store and have them try? It could be a defect.
No it has been working just fine for like 10 months now for some odd reason it sometimes holds it and sometimes not

thats really odd.... when you insert the sdcard can you feel the spring engage? does the lock engage?(feel a little click after spring is compressed)? do you unmount the external_sdcard often? maybe things have just worn down....(i've only removed the sdcard a few times stepped up from the 2G, to a 8G, currently patriot class10 16G) but never had any problems with any external_sdcard staying in place.
take that bad boy apart!! its just some phillips screws i imagine its just a spring issue. I was gonna do the "hardware GPS fix" tonight so i'll take a look at the setup while im in there if there isn't a fix posted by then.

namadrider123 is correct it sounds like a easy phone replacement from tmobile that should be the #1 fix option for this problem (or any hardware problem for that matter) always attempt to get hardware defects replaced under warranty before you go messing with stuff yourself (good rule of thumb!)
It holds it sometimes but the little click thing isn't holding it. For now it is but if I take it out it will be hard to push it back in.

I just got a new Patriot 16gb micro sd card to upgrade my stock one. My problem is when I moved my stuff to the sd card from my 8gb to the 16gb the new card works for a couple minutes then the phone shows the "sd card has unexpectantly been removed" or something like that but the card is still in the phone. What did I do wrong?
You need to format you card from the phone menu than recopy all of your stuff back to it and you should be good to go.
I did that already and it still gives me the error.

I have a 32gb card from my inspire I would like to use, all my music and some videos. It also has my titanium backups. Can I safely put this card in without messing something up?
It should. Don't see why it wouldn't work. Lol
Don't know about the titanium backup apps. But music and vidoes should be fine

The Titanium Backup(s) should work fine...but it does depend on each individual app and if it is compatible with your new SGSII. In general, Titanium Backup works on the SGSII. I wouldn't recommend "restoring" system apps from your Inspire, however. That may cause issues.
I seem to remember seeing a video of a 64gb SD card being properly read and used on a GSII.

And I have read that the SGS2 "officially" supports SD cards up to 32GB...so it sounds as though the OP would be OK with the 32GB card. Frankly I'm surprised such an advanced phone doesn't support cards even bigger than 32GB.

Actually, as soon as you put the card in your phone, a message pops up stating "All Your Base Are Belong To Us - HTC".
Only joking, you won't have any issues whatsoever whether it be the phone recognizing the card or your titanium backups. Obviously, you already know about having the phone detect the location of your backups. That would be the only thing to take into account. As someone stated earlier, make sure you don't restore any system apps because that can cause issues. Also, you don't want to replace any apps that are on the phone with your backups because that can cause issues as well.
All in all, you should be safe for whatever you are trying to do.
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of Galaxy S.
I just moved my Micro SD card from my Inspire to my Galaxy. The card already had backups, titanium backups, apps, music, etc. All read on the S2 with no issues what so ever. I had it loaded to nearly 25 gigs and it took a matter of seconds for my phone to scan it.
I was swapping out batteries and wasn't paying that close attention and something snapped. The freaking SD card broke in the phone. I have half an SD card in the phone that I am unable to bring out. And the phone doesn't recognize the card anymore either.
Any ideas on what to do now? This sucks balls. Anybody have any experience getting at the card area?
Someone mentioned in another thread to try to use a safety pin to slide the card out.

Maybe superglue a toothpick to the remaining piece of the sd card if you can? then pull it out?

i just did that and now I get no SIM card inserted, **** don't know what I played with
yeah i noticed too how far the sd card sticks out.
yeah so opening up the phone was a snap, pretty easy, but in the process of dislodging the card from the behind, I probably messed up the connection so now the phone won't recognize the card.
Not a big deal, I feel like I have a Galaxy Nexus now.
so instead of 16 gb you only got 8 gb left???
So randomly this morning I'm using the phone and all of a sudden I see a mounting SD card. So it works now.
Keep the hope alive.

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.
ramjet73
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
