So I had to perform a few battery pulls and got a SD card damaged message... my question is there a way to fix my SD card or is it junk now? I can't get my computer to recognize it at all.

Maybe you could explain how, so others with the same or similar problem know what to do?

You're right somehow my connectors got dirty because I removed it several times and put it back in and got nothing. After I wiped them up with a cotton swap and inserted it I was mounted with no corrupt data. I don't know how it happened but its working as it use to. 16gb class 4 sandisk. There were a couple scratches on them so maybe it polished it?

Not sure where you bought your phone at. Have you taken it to a tmobile store and have them try? It could be a defect.
No it has been working just fine for like 10 months now for some odd reason it sometimes holds it and sometimes not

thats really odd.... when you insert the sdcard can you feel the spring engage? does the lock engage?(feel a little click after spring is compressed)? do you unmount the external_sdcard often? maybe things have just worn down....(i've only removed the sdcard a few times stepped up from the 2G, to a 8G, currently patriot class10 16G) but never had any problems with any external_sdcard staying in place.
take that bad boy apart!! its just some phillips screws i imagine its just a spring issue. I was gonna do the "hardware GPS fix" tonight so i'll take a look at the setup while im in there if there isn't a fix posted by then.

namadrider123 is correct it sounds like a easy phone replacement from tmobile that should be the #1 fix option for this problem (or any hardware problem for that matter) always attempt to get hardware defects replaced under warranty before you go messing with stuff yourself (good rule of thumb!)
It holds it sometimes but the little click thing isn't holding it. For now it is but if I take it out it will be hard to push it back in.

It was suggested you take it in to get it looked at, might need to be replaced. Or just fixed
We're comin from a pure power source.
Alright then thanks anyway

Hey guys my buddy gave me a 16gb micro sd from his droid x. I guess something happens with those things and corrupts the sd card. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys knew a way to fix sd cards so I could use it in my atrix. Thanks!

You can get a USB adaptor ($2 - $5) that turns any SD card into a thumb drive. Then just plug it into an available usb port in your computer and reformat the card. Should work unless there's actual physical damage to the card.
I've found that there's an added bonus in that it's faster to move stuff (photos, movies, etc) to & from the card when I have a full-size laptop screen, mouse and file manager to work with.
Awesome guys. I think ill try the usb method and if that doesn't work im guessing ill be going to Wolly world!
Thanks guys!

Hi, i know you didn't have any files on the sd card you needed but I thought I would mention this software for anyone who recently went through what I did. My girlfriend came to me upset that her card suddenly had no photos on it, so I googled corrupted sd card and it came up with some opensource software called testdisk/photorec. It found almost all the pictures and made me look good...

its called asda over here but steeling a new card isnt much of a fix now is it lol

Try to use disk tools to exam your SD card and format it?
This happened to me last night. I lost a lot of videos, pics and music randomly. A lot of pics have an error and all the pics I lost say it is a file of 64kb. But when I try to open I get a file error. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be the phone or the memory card? I had this card on my OG EVO with no problems.
See if you can view the files on another memory card. If so, then the memory card has gone bad.
Wait the file size went down to 64kb? Yea the memory card may be corrupt.

damn man... that sucks
i was having issues with my SD in the evo4G so i started backing it up to my computer weekly just in case.
Sorry to hear about your loss of media
If the card has gone bad will reformatting it possibly fix it or do I need a new one?
Used to happen constantly on my hero! Wipe your SD card and it should be good. Back when I had my hero it would happen when my phone would die but once I wiped it a couple of times, took it out and put it into my computer and made sure everything was off and it was good. Hope it works for you.

Doesn't hurt to try that and see if it works... If the files work on other cards or even on your comp, it is safe to say it has gone bad. But like I said, it doesn't hurt to try it.

I was swapping out batteries and wasn't paying that close attention and something snapped. The freaking SD card broke in the phone. I have half an SD card in the phone that I am unable to bring out. And the phone doesn't recognize the card anymore either.
Any ideas on what to do now? This sucks balls. Anybody have any experience getting at the card area?
Someone mentioned in another thread to try to use a safety pin to slide the card out.

I tried to search to find something anything but nothing came up.
Maybe superglue a toothpick to the remaining piece of the sd card if you can? then pull it out?

i just did that and now I get no SIM card inserted, **** don't know what I played with
yeah i noticed too how far the sd card sticks out.
yeah so opening up the phone was a snap, pretty easy, but in the process of dislodging the card from the behind, I probably messed up the connection so now the phone won't recognize the card.
Not a big deal, I feel like I have a Galaxy Nexus now.
so instead of 16 gb you only got 8 gb left???
So randomly this morning I'm using the phone and all of a sudden I see a mounting SD card. So it works now.
Keep the hope alive.

This just started happening to me this evening. I randomly get this message. .. Sdcard empty, unmounted, or not present. Never experienced an error like this in the past. I'm running Beans 7, sdswap, perseus kernel with 5g profile. Does anyone have a clue to this problem?

Did you get it from Amazon? If so it probably is a bad card. I've seen quit a few people who got a bad batch from ordering on Amazon. Try what Wolf said, backup and format

Tried that. Several times. Been having similar problems with my sd card. Its a samsung 64gb class ten. I cant find any of my downloads. I am a noob but I think the sd swap does something to the card. Only causes a problem if you flash a new rom (or reflash same) that doesn't have swap.

Aren't you supposed to delete a few files when returning from a swap? Though I read that.

I slow reformatted mine and the error came up again after a few hours. Decided to just buy a new one so hopefully the card was just crapping out and not the phone. If end up posting again it must be the phone. Hope you don't hear from me again in this thread lol
Im having the same exact issue as you. Its very annoying

Sandisk 64GB SDXC which happens to be Made in China is crap and confirmed by comments made by others on Amazon saying the same. Pay a little extra for Samsung 64GB SDXC and have the peace of mind.
Same issue for me and I bought my sdcard from Best Buy also...I am running Jelly Bean ROM B7. The card is only 2 months old so I doubt the card went bad, this has to be some app/process that is effecting the sdcard swap program. Very annoying and reboot of phone resolves issue but I have to reboot every hr, it is unreasonable. It only started happening to me since B7 which i installed about 7 days ago. I may trying going back to B6 which i was using with no issues for a while.
I'm just waiting for my Sandisk 64gb ultra cl10 to die bought it about 3 weeks ago so will see glad it has a 10year/lifetime warranty. Plenty of people are having same problems with these cards and not just in phones. Easy way to tell if its bad/going bad is to format it and stick it in another device see whats up... pretty sure if your card is not mounting or being seen it's going bad if it pops back up from time to time it's about to be dead.
Well I finally returned the sdcard at Best Buy which honors manufacturer warranties. Been a week on the new card, so far so good...
