Anyone can help me to fix my 4gb sd card?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
If you can't format it i should't get much hopes. If you mean to recover the Data there are several PC Software to do that.
It happened to me a long ago, I could neither format it nor rescue any data T.T
As has been said, try to rescue the data, but I can't promise nothing...
If you have the ticket, maybe you're in warranty to get a new one..
And one advice, do regular security copies, it will save you in case of a new SD card death...
Yes, its a sad day when one of these cards dies.
I've got a 32 GB Kingston card right in front of me now that's dead. I didn't think about a warranty, I need to check on that. Was fixin to just toss it in the trash but hate to let go of it.
I've run every diagnostic/repair software out there I can find and nothing touches it. Card just is not recognized in my PC or any device. Stone cold dead.
A friend told me to put it in the freezer for a couple hours, then thaw it out and try it. But that makes no sense to me.
well if you can't format it through the pc it's dead....just replace it...if your pc can barely use it then you might have a chance to get your files...if nothing happens when plugged in then throw it away..
This is a known defect in our phones. but sadly uneducated people here blame the cards. I've gone through 4 very costly cards. u just gotta do backups. until you get a new phone.
However, another issue with the phone is the bluetooth stack. if you're connected to a headset then get into your brand new bluetooth 2012 Rogue*don't ask me why I bought that crap*... If you're listening to music.... it crashes. gotta restart the phone to function again.
I've attempted recovering it. I know exactly how to recover things... Well, couldn't recover a single file. Everything is completely scrambled. Our phones also have a fragmentation issue. wonder if that is what is causing the issue?
Umm know defect for our phone is not correct. Myself and many other users have had no issue with Sd cards. I have a 32gb class 10 Samsung and I've had zero issues. Also had a 16gb class 6 as well with zero issues.

Just because you've had no issues doesn't mean there isn't an issue. Any Electronic Engineers in this forum other than myself that actually knows how the technology works? Just wondering. Most people at XDA know nothing about the hardware of the phones. You guys just play around with the software. Look at the failure rate of cards. It's funny that I've never have had a card in my life that has ever failed until I got an HTC 3D. Then again it does happen once in a while. But What type of failure? That's what everyone on here doesn't understand. You guys just replace the cards and don't try to figure out why it happened. Because it is hardware related and you guys are software guys.
I'm a software guy huh ?? LOL and according to recent post I just replace Sd cards huh ?? LOL. Well let me inform you I haven't ever stated it wasn't an issue, I posted its not a known issue. Also you should never assume as to what it is members do because ya really don't know. As far as these statistics you mention on HTC EVO 3d sd card failure rate I haven't seen any. Also I have not ever had to replace an Sd card with either of my android/HTC phones. I only chose to upgrade them to faster cards with more storage. The prior Sd cards "stock" are still functional. The upgraded cards are performing as they should. Also you when you post "most people at xda know nothing about the hardware of the phone" Ahhh man you gotta be kidding me right ??? Lmao you can't be serious with that. You do remember what xda is about right ??? Once again dude never assume what someone knows or doesn't know because the fact is you don't.

Not trying to get in the middle of anything here but one point I want to clarify is that this card I was talking about that is dead has never been in my Evo 3D.
So at least my Evo 3D had nothing to do with it dying.
I am running a 64gb sxhc card now for 3 months and having absolutely no problems. (formatted to FAT32).
Bought a 32 GB class 10 card by Samsung FROM EBAY......
Never again am i doing that. turns out the seller was selling fake cards, lost all my data in my old card as i forgot to make a backup and instead just copied everything to the new card Cards completely gone and my laptop wont even recognise it anymore.

Don't think I have ever seen a thread about our evo 3D's wrecking havoc on sd cards. You got a thread link about this? Would love to read about how this is a known defect in our phone.
Also, never have had an issue listening to music over Bluetooth. Is this another widespread issue?

Getting this message for some reason, and can't find a resolution. Copying my important stuff off now, then will probably reformat with the phone.
It started when I put the card in the replacement 3VO I ordered, because my first one was acting funny. About half a day later it game me the SD message, (sent it right back). Ever since I put it back in my first one it's been giving me that message.
Anyone have any ideas? Is my SD actually just going bad? Is it a corrupt file? Something entirely different?
Thanks to anyone who can help me get this figured out. Been searching Google since, but haven't found anything really relevant to the Evo 3D.

Hard to say, but you're doing the right thing coping everything off and then reformatting. My suggestion would be to also reformat it in the phone too. If this still happens, try another sdcard in the phone so you know for sure if it's the phone or the card.
Ok. Just went through with it. Seems like it's good so far. Didn't format it on the PC, just the phone, then reset the phone, then copied only my original stuff back on. So far so good. I'll add another reply in a couple days stating whether or not it holds up.

i've had the same issue with an aftermarket class 6 8GB sdcard I used in my EVO for a year. my experience has been once you start getting errors with an sdcard, they are on their last leg.
i would look into getting a replace or have a spare, just to be prepared, as its rough modifying your phone w/o an sdcard! too bad there isnt a tool which could give us more detail on the life/reliability of the sdcard!
hope it all works out!
i had the same problem....i do not think it is the sdcard
i believe the software is forgetting parts of the sdcard and sending the error.
it happened to me on my 16gb class 10
also happened on my wife's evo 3d with the stock card.
FIX: only fix i found is to get all info off with your pc then format the card and load everything back on through the phone or pc.
if anyone knows more i would like to know.
So far so good here. Took everything off my card, formatted it in the phone, put my stuff back on, and everything seems ok. Seems like if you just take your card out and toss it in another phone that'll happen. Didn't have that issue between my Hero and this one, so I'm not sure what the issue was.

My GSII is totally broken. It can't even connect to the boot cable.
Anyways
I only need a way to reach the internal memory becausei got some VERY IMPORTANT info and pictures that I need to extract.
HOW CAN I DO IT?
can I extract the hardware?
Wow
Really wow
No one even bothers to give me a answer.
I've had 2 questions and I never got an answer for any of them. What a support. What a support.

First off,understand the fact that you aren't the center of the universe,nor everyone's attention.Help will come eventually.Be patient next time.It can even take days for a proper answer to come.
So,to extract the internal memory is easy.You just have to disassemble the phone and find the "NAND" labeled chip(or so I think,but you'll probably be able to find it).Problem is that,normally,it'll be glued to the mainboard.If you remove it,you destroy any chance of recovering the whole phone.Bigger problem is that,even if you extract it ok,you don't have any equipment that will be able to read it.It's not an SD card that you stick in a reader and do your thing.
So,your best bet is to send the phone for repair and explicitly state that you want your files intact.Ask them to not repair it if they can't preserve your files.
That's all the help I can give you.I hope someone can help more.
Even though you were a bit rough but it's MUCH better than ignoring
I know I'm not Thee priority, but I just had a trip to Turkey and have ALL my pictures in my GS2. I'm nervous and you can see why.
As you can see I live in Iraq and obviously there is no proper service around here and I'm the biggest hope I got.
Either I wait until I go for another trip and take the phone with me to fix it there or to bother you guys here, and I'm sorry for that

You just need to be patient man.Sorry if I offended you,it wasn't my intention.What I told you applies to everyone around here,not to you explicitly.
Anyway,your best bet is indeed to keep the phone safe until you can get proper service.
But in case someone can offer you better help,could you tell us what exactly happened to the phone?

I had CriskeloRom 32 on my phone and nothing was wrong. I was checking websites while thephone was plugged in to a charger. Suddenly my phone died, the screen went black and didn't turn on. I tried to but it in recovery & downloading mode but it never did. Went to a repairing store they used the boot cable but it didn't even get connected.
The best guess is some hardware thing is broken inside.
My bad luck is I had the 16GB external memory filled with HD videos and I was using the internal memory for the camera. The best moments of my life in antalya/ Turkey with my wife and daughter is saved in this memory.
I was waiting for Galaxy Nexus (I actually ordered one) but after this I'm really afraid of internal memory only phones.
Now I use Galaxy Note

Well,I keep my important files in the external SD,so I avoid possible problems.
Sounds like something got fried inside your phone.Damn thing goes really hot when charging sometimes.And Iraq's hot climate must have finished it off.
So,I'd wait for someone more experienced than me to say something on the topic.I think that what I said still applies though.Samsung service maybe is your only hope...
hello ,
suddenly my s2 won't read any sim card and it's always on flight mode ! i tried to restart the phone and it didn't work , also tried to take the battery and the sim card off for a while and it didn't work also , i did factory reset still nothing.
- the sim card worked normally on another phone
- the phone is running on android 2.3.5 because we didn't get the ICS in the middle east for some reason.
- the phone is not rooted.
- kies doesn't recognize the phone anymore .
so how do i make it work ?
and sorry for the bad English because I'm not a native speaker .

I'm pretty sure you EFS folder is messed up. There is a guide in general to recover it altrough most likely it won't. Other way is to contact xda member odia, I think he can recover it.

Do one more factory restore but this time without Sim card and SD card.
Use the dial code to wipe.

Check first your IMEI is correct .
What do you mean by not read sim card network or you cannot read the data on the sim contacts etc .

Then it may not be you efs folder (IMEI!) becoming corrupted after all! Try cleaning the contacts on your sim & inside your phone & make sure none of the pins are bent or broken internally also, then try somebody elses sim card in your phone first before replacing your own! If your sim works in another phone then it's got to be something to do with the contacts/pins, as you haven't flashed your phone or anything to corrupt stuff in the first place!!

Annoyed with Android
I have the exact same symptoms except I did not play around with any software updates or “internal settings”. The memory on my phone was filled with photos I took over the weekend and some apps refused to start up because of the lack of memory. Probably the mistake, I took the SD card out to try to read it from my Win 7 notebook, because the “Gallery App” did not want to open to allow me to delete of some images to free up memory. (Well why not, most other equipment allow their SD cards to be read by Windows.)
Whatever the reason the phone is completely stuffed; the SD card is not recognised and that result in no phone connection!! The phone can't be used. This is absolutely ludicrous. One cannot sell equipment that can be made unusable this easily. I can understand maybe losing image/data on the SD card if I took it out, but now the entire phone is useless, and it seems (from other forums too) that it is quite a process to get the so-called IEMI folder back. I am really frustrated at this point and have a real annoyance with Android. Judging from the amount of hits returned after a Google search, this SD card problem is a fairly common one. I am not going to fix this; will rather get a new phone, one that works, and it will not be an Android phone. Yes I know hardcore Andriod followers will be all over my post, but just think a bit, this kind of problem should not happen and is really nonsense
(PS: People that moan about multiple postings, can't you just answer the question, even if there is another similar thread, do you have to nit pick on everything.)

- There is no need for you to start spamming this thread.
- Ask questions with common sense, that will help you get the much needed assistance.
- There no need for you to threaten anyone. If you are not going to buy Android device again, million more people will still buy it.
- You must understand that, people who give assistance here on XDA, do so without any monetary benefit. It's not your right to be given assistance, it's a privilege.
- Xda just like any other forum/organisation has rules and regulations, you must follow them.
- stop spamming around, it will only make things worse for you.

To the $20 guy; the phone is not worth that much. I will probably not come back to this site, so it is pointless, but I would even mail the phone to you in its original box, free of charge, if I could.

Interesting...
I am in a similar situation with a t989 phone that doesn´t recognize my simcards.
Some days ago I tried to upgrade my phone to the latest official ICS using ODIN as KIES
was always giving disconnection errors before finishing the upgrade.
Finally I got my phone stuck at the download mode with an error message and a yellow warning triangle.
I thought I had a bricked phone, but fortunately I managed to recover it using an old
official ROM. The problems is that now it doesn´t recognize any simcard inserted.
The current installed software versions are:
Android 2.3.5
Base band: T989UVKID
Kernel version: 2.6.35.11
Compilation number: GINGERBREAD.UVKID

Hello please i just read your post and would need your advice, my S2 just stopped recognizing my Sim card yesterday night, i was playing a fast action game on my phone and the phone suddenly went off, when it came back on it did not recognize my Sim card any longer. I tired putting the same Sim in another phone and it worked but when i returned it to mine it still did not recognize my Sim, please can you tell me what to do with regards to this issue?
My Atrix start rebooting itself every 10 to 20 min. It doesnt matter what i tried to resolved. I have returned to stock, used cm 7.2 stable and other rooms and the cellphone keeps rebooting itself no matter what.
I did a fast search and I found many threads about this in the last couple months, so not old threads seems like everyone is having this issue recently and no solution yet. Many people mentioned is a problem with the radio, others say it is the sim card, or hardware problems but it is really weird that so many people is having this problem recently, isnt it?
My cellphone is exactly one year older so no more warranty for me, either way I have it unlock so i guess I voided my warranty since then. has anyone trying to contact Motorola about it or A&T, for me it is a really big deal, specially looking all the people that is having the same problem.
I will really appreciate if any of our wonderful devs here in xda have an idea of what this problem can be and how to solve it, I mean really solve it.
I had to flash a uk radio on mine to fix the mess. Sucks cause battery life is worse on the radio I'm on but better to have bad batt life than reboots all the time
Some people had random reboots caused by a faulty SIM card; it's an easy and simple thing to try and see if it solves your issue. Usually if you just walk in a store and ask, your carrier will replace your SIM card for free.
New sim card fixed my reboot problem. The AT&T store was skeptical, but they replaced it anyway... and it worked! I had the same problem with an HTC Aria, and changing the sim card fixed it. Interestingly, the Aria still randomly reboots without a sim card, but once the new sim is installed - no problem. Go figure! Since my stock ATRIX 4G won't work without a sim card, I can't try that scenario.

mmm I really was skeptical to try a new sim card mainly because i tried my atrix without the sim and keeps rebooting so I though that sim card couldnt be the problem, but I will try hoping that helps.
Logic will tell us that if atrix keep rebooting without sim card this wouldnt be the problem, right? So how is possible that a new sim card would be able to fix this problem (well maybe) but you still have it without sim card?
Thanks a lot for your replies.
ok I tried with a new sim card and I am still having the reboots, so the sim card is not the problem and never was. So any other recomendation on how to solve this issue? I can't belive that some many are having this problem, according to what i read, and we dotn hear anything from Motorola.
Check if it reboots when you keep it cool, try leaving it in a fridge. It's a common symptom of bga solder balls coming apart when things get hot and expand.

Seriously, stop whining on every thread. If you have nothing constructive to say, stfu. Are you this whingy in real life? Keep it up and you will never get a chance to contribute to the gene pool.
You got a dud unit, sucks for you, get a grip!
PS. If you just need a hug and sympathy, here you go, /group: hug hug kissy kissy/. We all feel for you. Better now?
PPS. It sounds like you have a CPU that is heat damaged, probably from some unfortunate flash or just bad luck. If you can't afford a new phone, buy one with a broken screen for peanuts and swap the motherboard. The Atrix is probably the easiest phone to pull apart and service that there is. (iFixit has a step by step tear down) Actually, that's the great unsung feature of this phone, it's so damn easy to work on.

PS. If you just need a hug and sympathy, here you go, /group: hug hug kissy kissy/. We all feel for you. Better now?
PPS. It sounds like you have a CPU that is heat damaged, probably from some unfortunate flash or just bad luck. If you can't afford a new phone, buy one with a broken screen for peanuts and swap the motherboard. The Atrix is probably the easiest phone to pull apart and service that there is. (iFixit has a step by step tear down) Actually, that's the great unsung feature of this phone, it's so damn easy to work on.

No. He/she as well as myself are tired of looking for new news about our atrix but constantly read your emo posts.

Weren't some applications causing this issue as well?
I think it was Facebook.
I had the random reboot issue while using the device without a sim card. Putting a sim card in solved it. Still puzzled as to why it does that with out a sim card.
If the SIM didn't fix it, I would start looking at apps. That's something that nobody seems to realize, that apps can cause wonky issues just as bad as hardware, kernel, OS, etc... If you want to track it down, I would start with a fresh ROM-of-your-choice install and slowly add your apps to see which one is causing the issue.
@Atrix-Owner - hijacking a legitimate thread to spit your poison is pointless and juvenile. Grow up and move on - at the very least STFU. That is all. +ignore

Sim didnt fix it for me, and I already looked for every application but nothing was running that could cause this. I really think I have the faulty part for heat because the reeboots seem to happen only when the cellphone gets hot. I leave the cell phone resting and it can stay without reboot days, but as soon as I start using any game(shadowgun, engry birds) or applications (surf the web, check videos) that demand the cellphone some kind of power then cellphone will start feeling hot and will reboot.

I really was hoping it will be somethig cause by software and not hardware where a hardware fix/replace will be need. I already have another phone, a Razr, but i really like my Atrix and I want it to pass it to my sister or my girlfriend.
in cause I would want to fix it, do you think will be cheaper to buy a broken screen atrix and do the repair as you mentioned or just send my atrix to motorola to be repair or maybe any other rapairshop.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
I was mostly aiming my reply at our resident wailing wall, if you can get moto to fix your phone for you then that seems like the preferred option.

Simply putting this, i buyed a SGSII about a month ago, and since then it shutdows or freezes. I don't know what is wrong. I TRADED THE PHONE 3 TIMES!!! And all 3 times the phone has the SAME problem. It random shutdown/freeze(I don't know the difference). Theres almost 0% chance that the Vodafone store has 3 devices with teh exact same problem, when the 3rd SGSII i got(this one) is from a different package then the others....
So I ask here really kindly, who can help me if some1 already had some problem with some application I have installed. I leave here the screenshots of Google Play apps I have installed. Apart that i only have BBS.

Please understand me, I really want a phone that doesn't shutdow or freeze :/ I really need alarm for example in the morning and I can't even trust that to my phone since I can wake up and phone is just shutdown >,<
Update: Went 2 day again at the store, and they said that some faulty 4G SIM cards where causing problems(didnt specified which ones) and he traded me a new charger - This said, he told me that if problem still occurs to come talk to the sotre manager on monday...
If this helps, maybe it is causing the problem, if someone has this version of Android and reports it giving problems i would apreciate

Hey so i bough my SGSII 3 days ago, and this is the 2nd time it happens. The phone just shuts down or something. I can't unlock it by any means.
Only thing i've putted on it was some apps and Nova launcher.
Should I take it to replace or? Is it hardware? Thanks!

I didnt modified nothing at all...unroot, still with the ICS stock it came out of the box 4.0.4
Aw and I have a flip cover that has a magnet on top but that doesn't changes nothing right?
Well, it is off course possible it's software, but if it's brandnew you shouldn't be bothered with fixing problems like these yourself I think Personally I would send it back^^

Ill take it to the store then
So I went to Vodafone and first question they made was:
Have you changed your SIM card lately?
I todl them it had ~5years or something.
They said it may be the card.
I asked if this ever hapened.
They said never...
So i asked, if it never hapened why you say its because of SIM card?
---
And that was it. They told before anything I should change SIM and test if it still shuts down...
What you guys think? Anyways I'm gonna change SIM card to 4G one, since now Vodafone is obligating every1 to change, they gonna deactivate the old ones soon... Then i'm gonna see if phone goes down...
I just seems strange the phone goes down cause of SIM card with no signal or something... Anyone knows a answer to this?
Any1 knows osomething about this?

Dude, bumping your thread every couple of hours isnt going to achieve anything other then possibly it been closed or deleted.
Firstly people will reply when/if they have something to say. Second its New Years eve, most people are busy. Only reason why I'm not is because I'm not well at the moment so resting.
A sim card wouldnt make your phone shut down, hes talking crap. Also when you say "cant unlock" do you mean network unlock? If so then use the search button, we have plenty of topics on how to unlock network very easily, most/best are a simple app you install from market.
Don't take Vodafone's crap. Demand a replacement as the one they provided is faulty from day 1.
Try without a SIM too, this will prove that is not the problem.
Take Atheists advice and don't bump within a 24hr time frame, especially today/yesterday.

Are you sure on that? Seems they don't want to simply trade the phone, and wanna keep it for tests...
Though, 2 days passed and he doesn't shuts down...
Not entirely sure as I cannot test the phone myself but for a new phone to be playing up, it's not convenient and I would want a phone that works without crashing, especially from new.

Try to take off this cover with the magnet. I think that the magnet is interfering with the hardware which then causes the phone to shut down.

Am I the only one that thinks taht is really strange 2 phones have the same problem? And that they hold like 1 day or 4 (depends on the phones mood xD) and then shutsdown? xD
I wished someone informed enough on old SIM cards could clarify me if SIM has something to do or not
But I already went to the store, but they dont have any SGSII left lol Waiting for a new packages to come..

Must be a faulty hardware, is that store reliable?
A brand new device has to run super smooth, if not, store's fault.

Look dude, you have been told OVER and OVER again that it couldn't be the sim card causing phone to reboot. Its either your hardware like your phone or battery or its your software, ie your rom or apps installed.
Have you even bothered trying other sim cards?
Tried factory reset?
Have you tried other rom?
Have you tried other kernel?
Have you got refund and gone elsewhere?
Have you read any of the replies here or in your duplicate threads?

With all due respect it seems you don't read the replies you say you bother to answer...
1- It doesn't reboots, it just shutdowns. Thats why I say my problem isn't found elsewhere therefore doesn't seems to be a ROM problem.
2- Since I have 14 days (and not the usual 30) to ready-exchange the device trying a SIM card won't be enough, since the phone can handle random time turned on without going down.
3/4 - I already changed the phone once, so same hardware flaw would be suspicioous since phones are tested and odds of getting a faulty hardware 2 times in a row with the exact swame faulty style is like 1/1000. Especially on recent SGSII.
5- Nope, i'm hoping i'll get a talk with Samsung(not vodafone) and talk to them if the third phone come with same problem.
6- Yes I did. But as I said on point 1) it seems you didn't read mines I asked for someone that has a sim card knowledge, since phones in the past DID shutdown due to low network/loss of signal causing phones to shutdown. But as I said to the Vodafone guy, i think its strange that a new phone such as most smartphones are to shutdown cause of SIM card beeing old/loosing signal with this 4G thing. But since i traded for this new SGSII and the SAME problem is hapening i tend to beleive is the SIM. Though I already asked Vodafone to send me a 4G card and if I get the third SGSII I will try to test the full 14 days I have to see if its the SIM card thats causing something or not.
Apart all of this, if any1 faced the same problem please tell me something(most likely will be from Portugal, who knows).

You haven't mentioned changing Roms or Kernels.
This to me sounds like a software issue.
This is not a Sim card issue!!!.
It might be wrong current or voltage issues, but this being a new phone would lead me straight back to it being a software issue.
I have a Galaxy S2 for over a year and had a load of random reboots or shutdowns. It always was a kernel issue, update to the latest or downgrade to the most stable always fixed it. So my advice try to fix the software before blaming the hardware. Try different kernels, Roms and if you are still having the problem then it is a hardware issue. Flash a stock Rom back on and your phone should still be under warranty. Goodluck
BTW this is hilarious: 1- It doesn't reboots, it just shutdowns. Thats why I say my problem isn't found elsewhere therefore doesn't seems to be a ROM problem.
That sounds like a Rom or Kernel problem. First thing I would check! Are you sure that it shut downs rather than just freezing?
Also I just noticed your on 4.0.4 there is problems with the version of android

He's been advised now multiple time in multiple topics to try new kernel or rom but he just keeps simple ignoring the advise or dismissing it and seems to be convinced its his sim card for some odd reason.
If he wants to create multiple topics asking for help (have them closed/deleted) and then ignore the advise and then wonder why he still has same issues then its his own fault and his own problem.
