Help: SD card Issue :|

I am using the CM 7 RC1.. I am using Strontium 8Gb Micro SDHC Card..
Recently i am encountering this strange sd card issue..
When i plug the phone to pc through usb cable i am not able to turn on USB Storage, it just appears like turning on and gives a Msg that "SD card safe to remove"
Also it gives an SD card error in CWM Recovery when i try to mount SD card..
When i mount it through CWM as usb storage. My PC asks to Format the disk. But the disk capacity displayed as in properties is just 45.8 MB !!..
I have contacted the Service Center and they have assured to replace the Card within 8-10days..
But i wanted to know if this is a regular issue due to any bug in this rom??
what do u think has happened to the card.. Is it FIRED!! ?? or can it be fixed

im using rc0
i had a issue similar to yours
when i used to enable usb storage it used to activate
but immediately phone used to reboot
but in my case i could mount via recovery
a clean flash helped solve the issue
I had got this same mount problem a week back , but then i could mount it as usb storage device in recovery.. and my PC detected it, I formatted it and the Card was normal... But this time , this problem occurred when i was transferring few videos onto sdcard, suddenly the transfer halted.. I Turned off the USB storage and removed the USB cable.. From then this issue arrised..
The card is detected by pc in CWM after Mount as usb storage --> After mounting PC asks to Format the device and Then all i see is just 45.8 Mb !!..
I wonder if it is the SD card which is detected or cache ??
i checked it with other devices .. Though the cards capacity is 8Gb it shows UN-Formatted Space of 45.8 Mb .
Try formatting the sd card with SDFormatter v3.1 with format size adjustment on, format to fat32 fs.
Then try in cwm again and if all is good you can re-create any extended partition you require.

Download from internet "MiniTool Partition Recovery", remove the SDCARD from phone then plug it into Laptop or PC via a CARD READER or CARD ADAPTER let windows find the card after that open "MiniTool Partition Recovery" and look for your SDCARD in this application. Check your card to not be partitioned, if it's so delete the partitions of the SDCARD and APPLY, after that try format the SDCARD form "MiniTool Partition Recovery". If format is successful check card space and plug it back to the phone.
If the SDCARD isn't damaged this should work.
I'll try it out.. Thank u both

Hit THANKS if u appreciate my work or suggestion
oh gr8 The best policy of strontium is they replace the card directly w/o repair or any hassle..
No need of Bills or warranty card. Thats what the cc told me.. They asked me to get the card.. They will check if its original or not.
thats all .. And replacement will be done in 8-10 Days..
Was that the same procedure for u too??
i am at home due to Viralfever 100d so thought of repairing it myself..
Now, Since u mentioned they have updated the cards .. Ill get it replaced soon..

Memory card corrupt!!

I was taking some pictures on my s3 yesterday and randomly the camera went black. The whole phone packed up so I took the battery out and put it in again and started the phone back up.
Now my memory card isn't recognised, and even when I put it into a USB memory card reader to my PC, it doesnt show up either.
If I put the memory card in my phone, and connect my phone to PC using a USB cable, the device shows up under Portable devices, and then shows phone and memory card capacities. But when I click on the memory card, it says no files!
Any help please!? I had loads of photos and videos on the card that I need back!! It won't show up under My computer so using recovery software is pointless.
Thanks
Sounds like your sd card is broken. Just to make sure, try another card reader and another usb port on your computer. If it still doesn't show up, get a replacement.
no matter what , data is gone
try low lever hdd format app
and try re formatting it and seee if u can save ur sd atleast
RECUVA or similar programs may recover some data .

When I put the card in my phone, and connect the phone by USB to my computer, it shows up there, but when I click on it, there's no files. The memory is still showing as being used, but just not accessible.
The card doesn't show by itself on the main My Computer screen.
Here's a screenshot....

Guys I am on omega ROM v31.
I flashed previous to this codec ROM.
Now I see AOSP browser Cwm and Wallpapers which I got when I flashed codec ROM as write
Protected in internal SD card.
I am unable to format them.
In Windows as well as Linux it says write protected so unable to format.
Please please help me friends.
I tried everything but my internal SD just refuses to format.
And same error with external SD card.
hi
have you tried to delete them via root explorer ?
*don't forget to set read\write permission
Tried but it says sd card doent allow to change permissions...
Root the phone boot to recovery mounts and storage format cache system data and preload .
#Flash stock rom .
Or use one of the many wipe tools posted .
jje
I am already rooted and I am on codec jb rom right now...
Just a query..
Can I use mobile Odin or do I have to do it by PC method...
I actually didn't understand what you meant by wipe tools and how to use them...
great...Thanks...

That solved internal sd issue.

Try formatting it with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home edition... please backup the data first and PLEASE PAY ATTENTION which disk you'll be formatting... If you choose the wrong directory, your PC harddisk will be formatted instead of your extSdCard...

[Q] [Solved] Samsung Galaxy S3 External SD Card Issue

First of all I am sorry moderators if this problem has already been posted.. I tried searching for it and found some solutions that didn't work for me..
I have recently bought a new I9300 and I have a Sandisk 32gb External SD card that I would like to use with it. The card is successfully detected by the mobile but I am unable to copy files to the external SD card.. I have tried formatting the card via CWM via computer card reader both in FAT32 and EXFAT format but none of them worked..
16gb is not enough when you want to try different ROMS.. I hope someone has already solved the problem and point me to the right direction.
Thanks in Advance.
Solution:
So after a lot of search I found that many people have this issue regardinh external SD card in Galaxy S3..This is what solved my problem.. may be it would help you too..
I have 32gb Sandisk Card that apparantly seemed out of order because both S3 and laptop were unable to copy files in it.. I was using the sc card jacket that came with the card itself... .
so instead of just returning it to the sales person via mail I personally visit his office to abuse him..
as it is 1hour drive from here..
but when he chekd the card it worked just fine in there.. and I was like "this is not the same card you are using another one"
Anyway the card reader he used was 3.0.. I am sure many people know this but it seemed to work for me.. i bought the same card reader Lexar usb 3.0 card reader and the same card is working just fine.. playing all the files in the cell phone as well..
Still one issue left and that is I cant copy files within the cell phone via root explorer it says "operation failed due to low memory".. I believe I have to remove .nomedia file that is in there if viewed in the explorer but cant delete it may be permission issues.. anyone have any idea?
Let me know of this helped?
