Had the same problem with the phone not recognizing sd card (after trying to format card). However, after updating the ROM, put the card back in, and all was back to normal. You might try a hard reset, but with the card removed.
Ok, first of all--I'm a total noob here, so please bare with me...my vibrant (stock 2.1--rooted, but I've been too "chicken" to try flashing any other ROMs...) has suddenly started giving me a message in the notif bar saying "internal sd card damaged" and then it will tell me "can not mount external sd card--mount point absent or incorrect"; I've tried connecting my phone to my pc with no luck--I've not tried to reformat my internal sd card yet, simply b/c I've got about 9gb full of photos/video of my toddler on there, and I just can't erase all of it without seeing if there is any way to recover them/fix my internal sd card, if that is even possible--? I've tried taking out the external card to see if I can connect pc to phone to access internal sd card and I still can't get it to work...please let me know what I need to do??
Please, anyone...?
Hey. I bought a new _cheap_ SDHC card online, 32gb... When I put it in my phone, the phone gets pretty slow while there's a notification saying "Preparing SD card" "Checking for errors."
Now it stays there for a long while and the phone gets very hot... Is the card defect or is there something that can be done?
Have a look for H2testw
Well the problem is that i can't mount the card since i don't have a card reader...
Please forgive me for not being psychic, you didn't say that originally.
No need to be hostile man.
Anyways, i let my phone run for a few hours, still nothing...
Does anyone have any idea? The phone IS rooted, so that might have something to do with it, gonna try to unroot it today to see if that makes any difference.
this happened to once, I bought a 32 GB from amazon and it was cheap. It was a disaster, all my data I stored in it was erased spontaneously. I returned it and had a refund. My guess, the sd_card is inferior
y don u get a cardreader an check for eerors or format an c....or u can set usb debugging and do tht if dont hav card reader...some use 64gb card wiv no prblm..
You don't need a card reader to check for errors if you don't have one. Just plug your phone with the card in it into a computer and search for your card in windows explorer and check for errors there. You can also format it from there also.
I managed to check it on a card reader today, windows does recognize something is going but doesn't allow me to format it or do anything except change the drive letter basically... When i check it through computer -> manage -> disk management it shows it as a MBR? Why is that and any way to go around it?
Oh and i can't access the card while it's in my phone at all, it just keeps looking for errors and doesn't mount it?

Hello Folks,
I am using XOLO Q600 running andriod jellybean OS, unrooted. I am having a weird experience with my sd card. Last evening I was playing a game and my phone got hung in next few minutes. I was not even able to shut it down. So I pulled out the battery and restarted it. Since then it is showing DAMAGED SD CARD error, and asking me to format it. But, again, I am unable to format it from my phone, and my can't read the card. I tried to connect my sd card to my laptop using a card reader, it is showing all the files, I am able to copy all the files to my hard drive, but I am not able to delete them. I tried all possble methods to format it, but vain. I even tried to low level format it, but it says card is readonly. When I again insert it into my phone, it says damaged sd card again, but if I try to format it many times (on the phone), say 5 to 10 times, luckily it is successful once and the card works fine in the phone, I can read all the files, but I can't delete any file, it says "No permission to delete". Now if I restart my phone, it would say DAMAGED SD CARD once again, and I would be screwed up. Someone please help !
