SD card crashes phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
Okay here is my problem:
I have a HTC Incredible S it's rooted and S-off.
no problem there.
but when I try to mount my sd card it starts re-booting until it don't have anymore power.
when I re charges my phone it does the same thing.
I have tried to format my SD card and it worked for a while (a month or so) and then it began again today when it ran out of power.
ohh and the battery gets really hot when charging or re-booting nonstop.
so here is my question then:
Have any of you guys tried same thing?
and if yes then how did you handle it?
is there anything I can do?
thanks for your time guys

The Linux kernel may crash mounting a corrupt file-system. Reformat your SDcard, and if it happens again too soon, buy a new one. It's quite likely it's gone bad. You may also see if you can find some SDcard diagnostics you can run on your PC testing the card, if you've got a reader.

try another sd card and see if it works perfectly or not
if other sd card works fine then might be ur sdcard has gone bad and has bad sectors and try reformatting it once more and if it still does not work then it needs to be replaced
if other sd card also doesn't work then try factory reset and check again if problem is corrected or not

problem with my minisd card

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?

[Q] sd card problem

Hi,
I got my Optimus one not long ago and I bought kingston 8G for it though it would work fine. The phone read the card well and show the memory correct and I can use it pretty good on my phone. The thing later I found out is the phone itself restart after the idle time exceed 1hr which is crazy. The phone works really good until I upgrade my original sd card (samsung 2G which came in with) to Kingston microsd 8G. I don't know where exactly is wrong, and I couldn't return the sd card either since it work fine on both phone and on computer with card reader. If someone got same problem with me, please let me know or help me out!! Thanks in advance.
I think it is a firmware problem,Mine and others do the same with the standart 2G card...
Firmware keeps updating itself when I go on WIFI connection. I don't know about these stuffs either. But now, the problems are ended..the phone doesn't read any card anymore whether 2G or 8G, it keeps saying that "sd card removed. Insert a new one". I've tried restart again & again but the message doesn't go away and my phone decide not to recognize the card.Both of the cards work fine on computer. I think I need to visit the shop where I bought to check on it. Btw, is that problem considered in the warranty case? I don't know.. It wasn't even a month with me. So sad!

Are you using any app2sd ? If yes, it could be a problem also if ur using an app storing data on your SD card. It makes you're cell restart.
I have the "mount / unmount" problem on my LG, I saw on a french forum that it was better to try with another file system, sometimes it was solving, sometimes not. I don't think it's really a card problem, I gave my LG GW620's sd to my girlfrend and her old samsung is using it without any problem's, but on mine it was crashing every 30mins....

I have the same problem but more problem when my LG O1 didn't recognize the card and I couldn't mount or format the card on my phone.
This happened when I partitioned the card. My PC still sees the card well but my phone doesn't.
I read a lot of posts from a lot of forums and I did try every guides steps by steps but it seemed as the LG O1 doesn't have any button-press-combination as others. For ex: when I pressed Back + Power On, nothing happened as It was said that the phone might come to FastBoot.
As help on this issue will be in much appreciated.
I fixed it. If your PC still recognizes the sd card, it's ok. Go to Manage (right click on My Computer) -> Device Management -> Storage -> you should see your card there. Try to delete volumn or format the EXT2 and Linux Swap.
Put the card back to your phone. It should recognize the card and then, unmount and format card and mount it back. Done.
I have a small question. What is the best class for this phone? The class 10 is fully used by phone or does not reach that read/write speed? Some micro sd class 10 are declared between 20 and 30 MB/S. The p500 has these capabilities? Or a Class 6 card is enough?
Thanks
UP!
The price for 32GB class 6 is very different from class 10.
Lg Optimus One is able to full use write/read speed of class 10?
Thanks
Help! I inserted a sandisk 4gb class 4 and my phone didn't recognized it (i got the 'SD card removed. Insert a new one.' notification). Then, i inserted back the original 2gb sd card from the box, but that notification is still there and it can't be recognized. But both my PC and a another android device (a galaxy tab) can detect it. So, i tried formatting both the 4gb and the original 2gb with the galaxy tab and inserted it to my O1 but nothing has changed. I tried updating to the official V10E firmware but it makes no diffrences. Any help please?

For future, don't remove SD card during phone is running because of app moved to SD card. Especially when you plan insert new one, and if you do that with custom ROM with app2sd its equivalent to suicide.
Is mass storage mode works? Is MS works in curstom recovery? Did you try format memory card in phone? Delete of caches?

Thx for the reply,
I haven't install a custom ROM yet. All i did was enable JIT+HW accel from a thread here.
1. Mass storage didn't work. It just appears as a new drive which i can't access.
2. I updated my O1 to V10E... I lost root, custom recovery,etc. so i can't try that
3. I formated it with another android device (a galaxy tab)
4. How do you delete the caches???? Sorry, new here
You had got me. For now I have not idea how to proceed.
Anyway, remove battery, remove SD card, clean sd card with some soft cloth, check if metal contacts looks fine (try clean that if not), insert SD card, insert battery and try it again.
If this not help, you can try some shaking and so on. It's sounds crazy, but I know one guy whose shaking helped him to flash firmware to phone, which not works at all. Maybe it's some cheats for all these issues.
ad 4) You can delete caches via custom recovery, but related to 2) you can't so, this hint is useless.
I did everything u said. I checked the SD card & the slot and they seem ok.
This might sound dumb, but what do you mean by 'shaking'? Which part are you suppose to shake?? Sorry, im still new to androids
BTW, i went to the LG customer care. The technician checked it and said that they are going to replace the SD card slot. She said that sparepart (the SD card slot) is going to arrive sometime in mid-January due to the holidays.
By the shake I mean grab phone and do quick movements with phone from left to right and back.
But it seems, that you have some trouble with hardware part(s) of phone.

[Q] Damagd sd card/

i just recently went to the gingerbread leak rom and it was working fine fir the past week. the message said, Damaged sd card, Sd card damaged. you may have to reformat....
and when i try to mount the sd card by connecting the cables, i press connect and nothing happene\s but the circle keeps spinning for like a hour. please help. i have many photos and work schol work stuff on the phone that i need to transfer to the computer.
Hate to tell you, but you're most likely out of luck. The Gingerbread leak is known to cause problems with SD cards, thats why many recommend using a spare SD card.
I've seen utilities that search corrupted SD cards for files, you might try some sort of tool for that and see if you can get anything off of it.
After this if you want to run Gingerbread, I'd recommned you switch to Cyanogenmod 7, MIUI (what I'm running currently, love the miui launcher), or OMFGB.
I'm not sure if this is related but I will say it anyway. On my Droid X I flashed GB and a week later my phone did the exact same as yours. Error on the phone stating the card was damaged and it needed to be reformatted. I tried to reformat and it would not work on the phone. I tried on my computer and it would not even see the card. I searched for hours and hours and it seems like other's had the same issue. The only way I was able to reformat was to stick the card in my Blackberry and reformat. For some odd reason it picked it up. I did buy a new card just in case and will keep this one for a backup. Always back up your card on your computer on a weekly basis if you can. I lost years of photos.
Anyways I know it's a totally different phone but how weird is it that we both and others had the same issue when flashing to GB. Try to reformat on your computer or even try a different phone if you can. Sorry if this does not help you.

I second that this should've gone in Q&A... However, on your pc google 'piriform recuva' and download as this is a recovery utility that should be able to get back some of your data. You could also try formatting/mounting your card in CWR, I believe nitsuj had some luck restoring a fried card this way
tapatalked from my GingerBanged VZ Fascinate
Actually, the SD CARD DAMAGED message always does not mean the sd card is damaged, it only mean the system can not access it.
Try to use a sd card reader on the PC.
Also, there is a huge, gigantic 1559247pt font warning written in red right at the top of the thread that warns you about the rom possibly frying your sd card....
Edit: my bad, I was thinking of the comm rom thread, but there is a warning at the top of the leak thread also.... I don't mean to sound like an ass, but it really helps to read the OP thoroughly before flashing anything

buy a class6 or higher sd card and your issue will be solved.
As I said in my other post:
Sounds like you need a new SD card. Some of the stock cards don't play well with MTD based ROMs. I think it's a speed issue, and MTD based roms assume cards are at least a certain speed. I would probably get a Class 10 microSD card (be careful if you get 32gb, there are known problems with some of them)
I bought http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-microSDHC-Class-Memory-Adapter/dp/B0058GH4U0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1335980268&sr=8-12 and have had no problems at all after!
thanks everyone for replying...i might have to just upgrade to a different card and see if that will solve the problem.

every since switching to a class 10 card, i have had no mounting issues or sd card damage errors since. my device also seems to be more tolerant of dirty flashing, before i had to always wipe data...also the phone seems faster loading apps, pictures etc.

Damaged SD Card Notification CM9 antp121 le noob

I just flashed antp's CM9 rom and it gave me a damaged SD card notification. My sd card seems to be working fine. I reformatted on the phone, but it would take ages and not finish at all. I tried reformatting the sd card on my pc but it still gets the message. Does it usually take this long to reformat? What can I do to fix this?
make sure you format correctly. FAT32 I believe. That could be the problem....

you will need to format via a pc. find some down time and transfer all your files off the card and have it to do a full reformat and make sure compression is set to FAT32
Well it didnt work, still get the notification, sd card wasn't having any problems though so I don't know why it says that.
I too took a bad flash.and now my SD says blank or to format..so I did(have a b/u on the computer) and several attemptes I realized its my phone not sd reading proper ..refurb rubbish here I come
I had the same issue on neos aokp. I did a clean reflash and it solved the problem. If that doesn't work flash a sense Rom and reflash back to an asop one. Definitely dont format from phone as it may cause a brick. I bricked a phone testing for chad that way. It said corrupted sd card and since it was going back I figured what the hell.
