Hello all, today out of nowhere my phone had a status notification that said my SD was blank. Checked in astro, no files. Checked in about phone, nothing. Pulled SD twice and that didn't work. Went into recovery and tried to format and it skipped formatting so I'm not sure what I have here. I recently got another TB from VZW (1 week ago) cause my other one had an earphone jack problem so maybe its the phone? Or is the SD corrupted? Thanx for your help

When you hook it up to your computer, does it show anything on the card there?
Haha I guess no one wants to help or?

I'm going to try that very shortly...unfortunately I don't have a cars reader to format...however when I went to radioshack to get another and put it in, it didn't recognize the SD either which leads me to believe its the phone

What about when you hook up the phone to the PC and put it in "disk drive" mode?
There was no option for that, just charge, internet pass through and HTC sync. After awhile though it seemed to recognize my SD and let me access it for a short while, then it happened again...I ordered a new one. It's coming today

Hey guys.
So I went to work today and while I was on break, my phone acted up a couple of times. Once, the mobile internet cut itself off and I had to restart my phone to get it to turn back on.
Then when I get off of work, my phone isn't reading my SD card.
I tried unmounting and then mounting it back several times, but no luck getting anything.
So then I hooked it into a card reader on my computer and all the files show up, then suddenly the computer got an error saying that the driver wasn't recognized and then stopped reading it.
What is the problem and how can this be fixed?
I can even open Root Browser app and it shows all the files on my SD card. All pictures, music, videos, etc.
But for some reason when I go to gallery, music, or whatever else... it won't pull up.
Back it up to pc if u can then reformat it to fat32

I wish I could. My computer will read it but only for a few seconds and then says something about a driver error.
I'm guessing the card may be going bad?
Can u mount phone to pc?

Just tried doing this, and surprisingly, yes. So I got it all copying to the computer now.
It just doesn't make sense to me that it can mount like this and my files still be on the card and not read when I go to pull them up. Especially when I go to Root Browser and I can see all the files.

So I copied all files to my computer, formatted the SD card again, put all files back onto the SD, and still have the same problem.
Note that my phone is reading the SD in Root Browser; however, when I go to my gallery, music, videos, etc.. my phone tells me that there are none and acts as if the SD card is empty. I even go to SD and Storage and it says my card is empty, but it's not.

You're going to need a new one bud. There is definitely something wrong with it physically if you have done aall of that and it is still doing that.

Just wiped my phone completely and restored my most recent backup and now my phone reads it just fine, so problem fixed.
Undoubtedly my phone got set to some strange setting while it was in my back pocket that I never knew my phone had.
Strange. =\
Thanks for the help guys. I suppose if you see anyone or if you run into this problem in the future, here's how it can be fixed.

You didn't use quick format, did you? If so, try formatting it without quick format.

I had the same problem, I did the same thing as well. I noticed it happen when I downloaded a free game app from Amazon App store. I had to uninstall it b/c it kept on force closing. Soon after I had this SD problem.

The thing is... I haven't downloaded or changed anything at all with my phone in over 2 weeks. Either it tripped out or something happened to where a setting changed while it was in my back pocket.
Glad I fixed it.
I had a feeling it was probably a setting issue that happened, so I got the idea to restore from a backup to get back original settings and BAM!

Here's the deal:
My at&t SGS2 cannot read my microsd (transcend 16gb)....and i haven't backed up (I was too lazy...)
This morning i noticed a strange notification regarding my microsd....something about it being UNMOUNTED......but since i was sleepy, i ignored it
Over the course of the day, i noticed less no. of songs and pictures being displayed, so i remembered this morning's msg and when i opened my battery case, i noticed it had bulged out, so i inserted it back in and then restarted but alas!, my phone could'nt read it......tried restarting 3-4 times each time removing the sd and inserting again, but from then onwards my phone hasnt been able to read my microsd......
I connected my phone to the pc via usb mass storage, but it showed only 1 drive(instead of the usual 2 drives...[1 belonging to the microsd of course]).....the thing is that even the pc doesnt read it.......SO MY QUESTION ARISES HERE:::Can i somehow get back my precious data???...it doesnt matter whether i can use my microsd or not....i just want back my DATA......Please Help if you can!!!! A lot of thanks!!!!!!!!!
You will want to plug the sd card into your pc. You might need to get an adapter. If your data shows up, make a backup right away. If it doesn't, try any number of undelete programs. Piriform makes one I like to use.
Your SD card could be shot and there may be no way to get any of the data.

Insert sd into computer. Run program. Select drive letter of sd card. Hit go, start, or whatever the button is.
If you need more help than that read the help menu on the program.

Well, i tried the method you gave, but whenever i choose to scan, it gives an error saying that-"FAILED TO SCAN THE FOLLOWING DRIVES: E: THE DEVICE IS NOT READY"-......maybe this is bcoz my pc could not detect the sd in the first place.........yet....thanks 4 ur help....IF u know any thing else please reply.......THANKS again...!!!!
If your computer can't read the card, it is most likely toast.

Hey guys
I just got my new micro sd card (Samsung SDHC 32GB class 10). Till today I used stock EVO's 8GB Samsung class 6. So, I downloaded my old card content to my laptop and copied it to my new card but my pictures, videos and music files are not copied and all apps that were on my old card cannot be installed. I did this card to card tranfer many times before and never had a problem. What am I doing wrong?

Did you first format the new card inside the phone? Try doing that first and afterwards copy your stuff

Yes, of course. Tried to format it three times and copy content different ways but same thing happens

Hmm... That is odd. I have heard that the phone had some problems with samsung cards, but i remembered them with 64gb cards... Try a different rom, just for the sake of argument. If that aint it, then i think the card and the phone dont get along too well
I don't know about you but my phone came with Samsung memory card so I thought I'd go for the same manufacturer with more memory. I'll try again tomorrow from scratch and see what happens. Thanks a bunch m8

I meant what i have seen other people around here talk about... I have a no name 32gb class 6 that never gave me any problems, but i have seen discussions about this in the past.
Good luck tomorrow, I hope a proper flash will fix your card
I didn't mean any disrespect man. You helped me a lot. I'll try tomorrow and post what happened
Just wanted to say - my phone is fast as hell with this card. I can't belive the smoothness and speed

Ok, did it. Looks like my files got corrupted while copying from my old sd card to my laptop. I managed to save my pics and music but I had to download all apps that I had from playstore.

Well congrats for saving at least part of your stuff . I had the same problems a few times, noticed them once when I tried to defrag my card and it was a bit over 50% fragmented. Since then, once every 2 or 3 months I copy all my stuff to my laptop and I format the card (slow format, not quick) to be sure I won't have my data corrupted. Also, I might suggest trying a different usb cable, that could be another reason why your stuff got corrupted.
Anyway, you said you saved the important stuff, so all is well now. Enjoy your new card
Well, my new card erased itself complitely yesterday
I noticed a significant lag while opening apps on sd this week and card reader gave me class 2 read and write speeds. So I guess it's broken. Back to stock

If he said slow format I guess he means computer. Evo doesn't have slow or fast format. Correct me if I'm wrong Posedatull
Any suggestions about what card I shoud buy?

Hello XDA Community,
My Phone started to make me angry the last 3 days. I have this little problem, I always get a warning "SD Card has been removed". But the thing is I dont pull the Card out or anything. I tried to turn off the Phone take the SD out and put it back in, It worked for 1 Day, and today the same happend again. To make the SD Card work again, I have to pull it out and put it back in - that gets pretty annoying.
Anyone of you guys have the same issue? What do you think could this be? An Phone Issue or maybe my SD is damaged?

I Also had this issue (eventually it wouldnt Mount at all) and it turned out to be a corrupted sdcard. Pop the sdcard in your computer and run a scan and repair any damage on the sdcard

You may Have to Replace it though if nothing works and you cant recover any data (if you can then start making backups Now)

So, I copied the whole SD on my PC. Formatted it, let Windows (chkdsk) check the Card but no errors were found. Ive tried another Programm (Easus Partion Manager), checked the Card with the Programm, but it was the same, no Errrors. So I copied everything back on my SD, lets hope that it works now.
Thanks for the help anyway. :thumbup:

I just applied the RUU update, and when I go to storage - Mount SD card is grayed out, doesn't appear to read my microSD at all. Worked fine before update.. any ideas?? It's a 64gb micro sdxc. I was going to try a reformat but wanted to see if anyone knew what else it could be first.

Mine did the same thing, a reboot worked for me (think I got lucky though, ;-p)
If it doesn't, do you have a spare sd card to put in there to try and isolate the problem, whether it's the phone or card.
Also are you stock, rooted, s-on/s-off, etc?
