SD card - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys recently I was on my computer and had my SD card mounted and I pressed unmount to pull it out and all was fine until a message came up saying SD card was damaged. I rebooted the phone and its still saying this. I know I didn't pull it out early. Now its asking to format card to fix it. When I press it nothing happens. I tried connecting it to my computer to format but it can't read the card. Luckily I had an adapter that'd let my card go in seperately from my phone but that wont work either. Please tell me what I can do??

its quite a rare case. it happen to me once. i had to put on my fren DHD and then using his DHD to do a format. have u try tis?
just in case,
plug in your usb cable while doing this
boot into xrecovery and then select partition
then select mout usb storage.
go to pc and see u can access into it or not
let me know the result

Ok thank you ill try that now. This never happened before. I really need that data on that card. Will there be a way to recover it?

if u able to boot into xrecovery and mount the usb storage, then i think u can accest into the sdcard via pc. then make a full copy to your pc.
wish you luck ^^

I'm able to get to xrecovery and mount USB storage but my computers still not reading it

Backup the contents of your SD to the PC, format SD, and you should be good to go.

How to format SD card?

I have rooted my phone. Installed a custom ROM. Now my sd card is loaded with unwanted things. Wat shoud I do? Copy/paste the openrecovery folder to a comp. Format SD card and then copy that folder back to sd? Or update.zip again?

Remember to move all apps to phone memory before format.

You can simply delete the update.zip file without any problems.

You need to keep update.zip on root of sdcard. It doesnt enter recovery mode if you not copy it back.

For such stuff, using the Droid Tool is the best way:

Format it with your android phone, or in recovery, not with your PC.

copying files to phone while in recovery?

if i dont have an external sdcard and ive wiped my phone, is there a way for me to connect my phone to the computer to transfer files while im in recovery?
Its possible using adb push to /data/media
Make sure you dismount after copy or recovery wont see the file

Unfortunatly Galaxy S3 cant mount internal storage as usb. It is formatted in ext4. Adb is probably best option

No usb mount option in SGS3..connect adb..type adb push/pull /path of the target /path of destination.
Or if you are good at edify/busybox..create a updater script to flashed via CWM

Maybe you need reformat your card in PC, try it. Try using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (free).
But i have the problem with my microSD card too and I must buy new one

Well, I learnt my lesson, always backup everything on a ext sd
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
great that you got it working, i would recommend trying to s-off your phone just because... so flashing rom's and fixing problems if any happens in the future will be easier
yea I know, It looked pretty bleak for a while where i basically couldn't do anything with the phone,
I will look into s-off
fix
