Hi to everyone in this awesome forum, I must say I´m new here (As registred user) -sorry for my bad english, I´m mexican- but I must say I've used this forum too many times to solve a lot of problems/questions Ive ever had with my Galaxy S2.
I hope you can help me out with the problem I have with my MicroSD guys, I've just bought an ADATA 32GB Class 4 MicroSD for my Galaxy S2, all seemed well until it just stop transfering my music to it, first I think it was the cable but no, tried with another one and the same, formated the sd in the phone and it just said that it was empty and after that the phone can´t recognize it so, I formated it again by my PC and tried it again, still don´t work, formated it in a camera and the camera recognizes it perfectly, tried again in the phone, still no luck, by times I can transfer data to it via phone but it just freezes and stop, I don´t now what can cause this problem, I've been searching all around but still no luck, hope you can help me guys!
Thanks in advance

Google for h2testw. It is free and will perform an integrity check of your flash card. If h2testw fails your flash card is either of poor quality or defective. If h2testw succeeds you can be quite sure that your flash card is fine and search for the problem elsewhere.

hello,
this evening i put my phone on standby and when i tryed to turn it on again the screen wouldn't work, so i soft resetted my phone and it started up fine, BUT then i got a couple of errors because my phone couldn't find some program files from my storage card, so i used file explorer to check and it turns out i can't see my storage card anymore, i tryed to soft reset it etc. but nothing worked, i plugged the card into my cardreader and my computer doesn't show the card either, so i think something is wrong.
is anyone familiar with this problem or has anyone got a solution for me?
thanks alot in advance!

i think i had the same problem try to format the card on a digital camera and if you have a canon digital camera it should have the option to low level format if not look for a app that does low level format and if after this it still does not work try to see if the card still has warranty and send it to get it replaced.

ok i'll go try right away, yeh the card still has warranty and this is the 2nd time this happened to me (1st time i already got a new card, lol!)
well, the camera says it has to be formatted, but when i try to, it fails, so i guess my card is screwed, again...
well i'll go to the shop in a few mins and hope they'll give me another one again
ok, today i got my new card (unfortunately i hadn't backed my last one up ) and i'm busy installing it again.
but what i was wondering is, why does this problem occur?
What brand of card do you have?

sandisk
I have two 8GB Sandisk MicroSD card killed by my HD2 (i think so). Anybody faces the same prob? The cards are totally dead now after using it in my HD2 for a few days...
No such experience.
Good to know the Bland and model.
You mean brand?
Try to format it on your pc...
I had the same Isue.. could not format it on xp pc only on windows 7 pc..
mos of the time if you let you put it in your card reader and its recognized.. you just have to let it scan for errors and let it fix them..
Sometimes my cardreader fails to detecet my card. I don't think this is related to my HD2, atleast I don't hope so.
Not had it...yet...on my sandisk 8GB MicroSD. This is the one straight out of a Nokia 5800. The 2GB one which cam with my HD2 went tits up after I tried to import a playlist from WMP onto it. Seems I'm not alone with this issue either...
For the first time I can report a problem with my HTC HD2.
I also seem to have a problem with my 8Gb Scandisk card. It seems either my telephone or my laptop screwed the card up.
I have standard stock last rom available in Holland manilla 2.5 Rom 1.66. No special things installed.
The card works almost 100% except when I go to the tap music. Then hell breaks loose. The phone looks for the music files. But cannot find them and then suddenly the phone cannot recognize the card anymore? I have to restart the phone before it can recognize the card again. This only happens when I go to Music.
But the damage is done anyway. Cause when I insert card in laptop or computer. I can see the files but according to the computer there empty (which is not the case). I cannot copy or cut while in card is inserted in the computer.
I accepted this problem cause I have a good working TomTom on it which someone else installed for me. If I format the card I cannot put it back.
Try to format your card, I did this from my laptop (if it can reorganize it) and NOT chose FAST. Becouse if there is a problem with the card it will simply skip it. This is also a golden rule when you install new OS on a old or well used laptop.
Copy the tomtom folders to a folder on your PC before formatting, then copy back...done
I have a 8GB Sandisk card, I've had it on 3 plones now, using it for about 3 years, still works like a charm.
To the OP, maybe you got fake ones, Sandisk is the most counterfeit memory card brand, if you got them on ebay or so and not in a respectable street shop they might be fakes, for which that kind of failures are typical.

I have this problem, and I went back to HTC. I got a new phone replacement and everything is fine thereafter. =)
I had a problem with 3 different Kingston 8GB cards.
Statred working fine, but after writing more then 2GB to them, they suddenly died.
I tried all of them in the phone and in a card reader, and they acted the same way.
As a final test - I used a SanDisk card, and it works just fine from the time I got it.
So - maybe, you just have defective cards ?
Did you try formatting the cards in the phone and not in the PC ?
I have the same problem. If i put the files on my sd card from my pc there seem to be no problem. After I check these files on my phone, they are damaged or the folder is empty. So.. anyone has suggestions what to do?
Same experience here.
8Gb was working fine the first two days (the card that was included with my HD2)
Then, for no reason got a pop-up (invalid card type, do you want to format?)
At forst I said "no" and tried with my computer... None of the 6 software I used could save my card. Was definatly dead.
Put a second one in (1Gb, just to make sure), it's been a week, and I already get errors when I write. It's like the micro SD is on read only (though ther's no switch to set it back to "write mode")
One of the many (many many many) bugs of my HD2
i had the same problem. the 8gb SanDisk microsd card that originally comes with my htc hd 2 is now useless. lost a lot of pics, cab & songs. it can't even be read by card reader on my laptop. is this some kind of bug?? now im using another 8gb card & hope it wont happen again. im glad though that im not the only one having the problem
And i thought i was the only one. My 8GB only lasted for 1 day before it went died. Had to get a replacement from Service Center. The staff seem to handle it in a very fast manner (guess i am not the only one to get the SD card replaced recently!!)
My guess is i did a hard reset on the phone with the SD card in it. Anyone else did the same thing?
My card has been corrupted twice no the HD2 leading to:
1) Very poor performance
2) Very warm phone
3) Very fast draining battery
I believe it was due to the power saving features enabled to do with the microsd as someone else mentioned on this forum.
its a manufactures defect. something should be done. lots of users are getting this problem now,including me
maybe i know the answer..
sorry for my bad english..
I've the same problem. But searching from all forums, finally i get the answer. just find n download EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Proffessional 4.3.6 (for 5 MB). Insert the mmc in card reader, use this software to recovery all the missing file (choose Complete Recovery Option). After recovery process done, use software LLFTool (for 600kb, just doing some browsing at google) to Low Level Format the mmc (this LLFTool can recognize the mmc). After all done, Windows can recognize again the mmc at windows explorer. Just right click and choose quick format (format FAT32). Done, you can use the mmc like the new one

thanks for your help. i tried your solution but it doesn't work. neither the EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional nor LLFTool detect the memory card. i think there's nothing to be done for the card. just hope htc will sort that out
I have also recently had an issue with my 8gb Sandisk Micro SD card.
It has been working fine for a while now, then yesterday when I went to pick up my phone, I noticed my S2U2 unlock screen was black instead of having my usual wallpaper there. My HD2 had just suddenly decided it can't recognise the card anymore and tells me I need to format it for it to be readable.
I pressed 'no' and tried to read the card on several computers as I wanted to transfer all data off before formatting it, but it would not read on any of them, nor would it work in my old N95.
I don't understand why this has happened, it has been working fine no probs, had about 3gb left on it still and have not recently installed anything on it - very annoyed as I have lost lots of recent photos of my 6month old boy which I cant get back now.
Have had to order a new card and hope this doesn't happen again, but not a happy bunny
So here's what happened,
I have a Samsung 8 gb microSDHC that I used on a previous android phone.
I didnt format it for my samsung galaxy s2 t989, i just deleted my old files and put some new files in it.
The galaxy s2 read it fine and it gave my no problems for a day.
The next day I noticed that when I take it out and put the microSDHC back in again, it keeps saying me that its safe to remove, basically, its not reading the card. So i put it on an adapter and plug it into my computer. When i try to access it from my computer, it tells me it needs to be formatted. So I used the windows formatter (i did a fat32 format), but right before it finishes formatting, it gave an error saying it cant be formatted.
So here's the big problem for me, now the computer cant read my microSDHC from my adapter, and my galaxy t989 doesnt recognize the microSDHC when I insert it (when I do, nothing comes up, as opposed to before when it would just tell me that its safe to remove).
What could be the problem? Thank you for your time.
I do not know what the problem can be, but I recommend you to format it in Linux, as Windows' formatting tool is useless, most times. Also try to rebuild the MBR.
i cant fix the MBR of it since the computer cant even see my microSD. I tried it through ubuntu, and the same thing, it doesnt even pick up my microSD. anybody else got a suggestion? im really hoping its not fried because i didnt have it for too long... =[
Sounds stuffed to me. PC can't see it, phone can't see it = bin job. If it's from a reputable manufacturer (Sandisk), try and have it replaced under warranty ?
thanks for the answers guys, looks like I cant deny that its fried any longer xD
its a samsung brand microSD, had it for a long time, I'll check if theres warranty on it
Third thread by you all about the same problem? I already answered in the other two threads. I'll just basically sum it up.
That also happened to me, nothing would read the card. Put your microSD into a Blackberry. It should ask you to format it. Click yes. Your microSD should be fixed. If you want a more detailed explanation, check out my other two posts on your other threads.
Hey all, i have a 64GB micro sd card but the phone is not recognizing. when i insert it the phone does not detect so i cant mount it(mout option is grey) and dont get any notification.
Then i tryed to read on mt desktop and still does not detect. Also tryed a friends laptop but same problem.
i went into computer management and i see the card there, but just it. It wont even let me format it through there.
I have search in google for a solution, but pretty much everyone was just saying to format it, but thats something i cant do with all the things i tryed.
I made this post to see if there is something else i forgot to check and if you could help me.
Thank you in advance

If you cannot mount it in the phone and 2 computers, it's faulty. Try and download and boot into Gparted (CD or bootable USB) as one last chance, but I doubt it would work
See ScanDisc admit faulty cards via Google .

Hi
I have been trying to run CM10 or any mod on my nook.
The problem is that I have tried every possible way to boot it off the sd card, but all in vain. it always boots normally to stock nook.
I tried everything listed in : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997459 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515761
Nothing worked.. can anyone pls help me? This tablet is useless without CM :crying:
some update
also I tried different sd card.. now I can boot off of the sd card but ONLY while tethering.. I searched on google and seems its a common problem with many models.. is there any fix? I couldnt find.. been searching for last two days..
Guys pls reply.. :/
If you've got one of those that needs to be connected to power to boot from SD it is what it is. Either you install CM10.x internally and never have to boot from SD again or live with it.
And FWIW, that way of booting is clearly outlined in the posts you said you had tried "everything" from and using SanDisk class 4 is also what's almost always suggested, especially if people have trouble booting to SD.

hi, thanks for the reply. In that case I think i'll go with internal installation.
But just to be honest, I did try sandisk class 4, that didn't work. I tried 2-3 other cards too, none did, not even by tethering. That's why I said I tried everything. Then I put in one of my other nook tablets sd card I was using to boot on that tablet (and that one is samsung class 4 8g). That worked but that too only with tethering. And as soon as that worked I put it here as update.
I really appreciate ppl taking out time on this community to help us amateurs. Thanks again
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 under heading "Making a Bootable Recovery SDcard" for pointers on making a SD card bootable.
thanks for directing me to that page.
I did see a comment on correcting making the sd card to avoid loading into stock. I'll try those steps today. But, as the writer said there as well that there are some NTs which will load into SD card ONLY if powered on using a USB. Seems there have been no solution yet for such NTs.
Thanks a lot for replying, I'll try to follow the steps hoping mine isn't one of those stubborn NT. :good:
Many NTs can only boot off SD when tethered, the guide I referenced is meant to help creating bootable SD cards and not to solve the tethering requirement for these NTs.
Found a way out !!!! Might help ppl here
Hi all,
As I reported earlier mine NT was one of those which wont boot off of the sd unless tethered. I did many things but I THINK (can't be certain) that I did what is mentioned my the guy PHIL here in the below link and it solved it (for until now, for my last 3-4 boots)
Basically, just remove the cord once you see the N sign, timing might be important I don't know.
