Hi XDA Members and staff!
Today i have bought a brand new Samsung 32GB Class 10 + High speed MicroSD Card. I just placed a new rom on the SD CARD and flashed it on to my HTC HD2 as i got to the Home screen i didn't see the Preparing SD card notification so i connected my phone to my computer and guess what it didn't show up... Then i took my old LG phone and it worked. I went to format it and then again guess what; it was 31.6MB Free of 31.6MB! Where did my memory go? OK i right clicked F: selected "format" tried making it FAT32 but is not there... So i done it on FAT; still no luck... I then tried SDFormatter no luck; it wasn't even capable of Fully erasing it because it wasn't compatible with the LG phone.... OMFN! I am so unlucky! God hates me!
Can Somebody help me out?
God does not hate you that's impossible. God loves you. What kind of SD is this ??? Also try this

If it doesn't work send Me a pm and after I get home from church I'll check to see if your issue still remains. God Bless

My suggestion is that you try to erase all data from the SD card, even partition data. I don't use Windows a lot these days, so I can't point you to a useful utility, but it's very simple in Linux-based systems if you use GParted. If you don't have GParted or even Linux then download GParted Live from gparted.sourceforge.net , it's a bootable cd/usb-image you can run without installing anything on your computer.
Then in GParted, remove all partitions, create a new FAT32 partition and format it.
I've fixed some corrupt SD-cards this way myself. I've also seen some wierdly factory formatted SD-cards during the years.

ive got a sandisk 256mb card which one day decided to corrupt all my data on it and now i got boxes and symbols for the folders and i cant seem to delete these files from the sd disk from the xda or from windows, it is complaining about the data being write protected or that im unable to perform the request!
any idea on how i format this bugger?
i dont need the data on it i just need to
format it or get rid of the files on it!
any :shock: :shock: help appreciated
thanx!
Silly question maybe, but it isn't the little switch on the card, is it?
yes m8 thats the 1st thing i checked!
can a sdreader format the card ?
Weird, I just noticed I have this same problem today.
Although I have an SD card reader on my PC, so as soon as I find the drivers, I should be able to format it. Don't know any other way though
my card did the same thing
i'm not sure if it happent because i took it out while some of the programs on it were running in the background
or if the sdreader killed it
i could not format it using the sdreader or anything
solved it with this tool
it format'd the card in 10sec and it's been ok ever since

okay, I'm almost too embarrassed to even post this...
I was flashing my XDA last night with the Developers Edition Rom, and that went smoothly. however, it was really late, and I wasn't paying any attention (lol) to what SD card was in my fone when it askedme if I wanted to format. Stupidly, I said yes I want to format, and then realized that the card inside was the nifty little 32 MB card that came with the phone from At&t that had all the cool games on it.
so my questions are:
1) does anyone know of any utils that can unformat a SD card?
2) does anyone happen to have that at&t card with the games/etc on it that they'd consider making a copy of?
3)does anyone have any other ideas of how I can get another copy of that data??
yeah, it's a petty problem, and I'm a dumbass for flashing my fone at 3:00am, but I'd still appreciate any help
It is possible to unformat a hard drive I believe as the data isnt overwritten, not sure how you would go about it with an sd card, I think its just the header that is changed so if you havent written to the card since format all the data will be there. You could try a disc doctor program such as norton and see which files you can salvage through your card reader.
nope...haven't written anythign to the card yet at all. I've got a copy of Norton utils someplace....I gues sI'll try and see if installing that on my desktop somehow lets me unformat on my SD card though the card reader, lol.
My phone did that to my little games flash, all by itself. I downloaded tons of utilities, but was not able to retrieve anything
Yes you can retrieve your formated data back !!
you need a program and a card reader !!
yeah, I tried that, Norton Utils, and a card reader
no joy on that
Oh well, too late now
I did a right click in Windows then clicked format, which Ive done before, but I canceled the format and now the phone nor the computer is recognizing the SD card. Ive tried reformatting with windows again, but to no avail. Ive read a few posts referring to this one program that was supposed to be great for formatting in FAT32, but for the life of me I cant find it.
Any thoughts on this one? I can imagine its not the best thing in the world to cancel mid-format....
Thanks in advance guys.
Ok looks like the plot might have thickened. I exchanged the 2GB SD card from my G1 to the HD2 and windows is not recognizing that one when I mount it as a storage device. Im using Chucky's rom which comes with the WM5torage program to mount as mass storage device.
It does however recognize the 2GB one when I dont use it as a mount storage device and just click on the Chucky Rom icon in "My computer."
This might be of no use and completely unrelated, but Im just calling it like Im seeing it.
Figured it out...thanks
Ok I didnt figure it out. The phone is now recognizing the card, but I dont think its formatted to FAT32. Windows format wont do it. Format program included on Chucky's Rom wont do it. Ive loaded Darkstones Android on the card and have tried booting, but it gets stuck at what I believe is the data store part.
It says: Failed to mount the SD card. Cannot continue. cant access tty; job control turned off
Then its creating line by line the data store (I think) infinitely like this:
102.9012851] ACR=4093 FL=1256 RAAC=91
153.9813371] ACR=4093 FL=1256 RAAC=91
203.9012351] ACR=4093 FL=1256 RAAC=91
253.9019381] ACR=4093 FL=1256 RAAC=91
303.9812351] ACR=4093 FL=1256 RAAC=91
Its been doing this for an hour or so.
Any Ideas?
Anybody have any idea?
Ive also tried formatting with Panasonics SDFormatter V2.0. That was the program I couldnt remember the name of above in the first post.
Have you tried to reformat it inside the phone?
I know I had a sdcard in my old G1 that for some reason my PC would never detect...one day I said to hell with it and used the phone to format the SD card...never had a problem after that (back up any photos to dropbox or something)

Sure have. Im really at a loss. Ive tried the reformat w/chuckyrom's program, G1 default program, and some random Samsung phone default. On top of that Ive used the Panasonic's SDFormatter V2.0 and windows default.
Obviously its not the random programs Ive used thats at fault. Somehow when I canceled the reformat process when this whole thing started, it changed something about how the SD card is read.
Also, when I mount it it Windows recognizes it as 16GB, BUT when I load it up in the SDFormatter program it'll say 124KB for the size and "device type not supported" and wont let me format at all. I dunno man
Bump bump bump
hello fellow hackers. Today i hacked my HD2 to install Android using a goldcard. Everything went well. No i have the problem that neither my Milstone, nor my HD2 or legend recognize the card. I have formated it a couple of times but no chance. I can use it on windows, and read and write but the cell phones doesnt recognize it. Is my SD card now corrupt? How can i remove the changes that were made?

Dude, why do you want to format it?
If I were you, I would rather buy a new one and keep the old one as an emergency kit
Still, you can try format it using a Partition Tools software.
Good luck
you shouldnt have needed to format it. it should work as a normal sd card when its gold, no problem. how else do you think you managed to copy the leoimg.nbh file onto it?
A card should work as a FAT disk, and still remain gold, until it is formatted (or you accidentally allow that annoying windows 'your disk may have errors' or whatever the hell it says popup to 'fix' it.)
Since you have gone past that stage by now, id say fix the mbr, fresh partition. Give some partitioning software a try, or you can use THIS (post 3) method to clean the mbr, see if it helps.

making the card took me maybe ten minutes. i can recreate it. anyways i was able to delete all the partitions with gparted and reformat the sd card with the phone it self. Thanks for the replies anyways.
Hi there,
I have a HTC wildfire [buzz] -s off, I rooted it, got cm7 on it. Now the problem is, the SD-card worked perfectly, and after a while the phone doesn't recognize my SD-card anymore. At some point it eats 4g away from my partitionated 8g SD. Then suddenly i have no SD at all anymore atleast on software cm7 running, however when I boot into recoverymode i can only have acces to that sd card while in usb mass storage device thru my pc. But can't install any apps since I was gonna install 'gapps' when i noticed SD was not recognized by cm7.... I formated mulitple times using sd-format and minitool partion a few times with different partitions one fat-32 other ext2. now 4g formatted just fat 32.
Can anybody give me a work around? I'm fairly new to rooting. So keep it a bit simple if possible.
Thanks and kind regards.
