hi
i have a 16gb sandisk class 10 sd card
for somereason now after i formatted it it cannot be recognised in windows, it shows as damaged card in my sk17i when i try format it on the phone it sits there for hours
tries eaus recovery to ormat it, it says its write protected??? is it corrupt? i managed to get it working last time this happened but i have no idea what has happened to it.
im not fussed about looking whats on it. i just want it to work again. windows wont format it. tried IHIREX boot cd.
is there a sector scanner that might run through and check it? windows disk cheking wont check for errors as its not formatted. mini partition pro shows bad disk.
very frustrating... is there a way of fixing it or do i have to buy a new card?
thanks in advance
also it says cannt do anythign with it as its a RAW drive??
If you didn't already try this,
There is a command line tool called "diskpart" which comes with windows. You have to use command prompt. Open command window and type "diskpart" . It is used to partition disks and external hard drives. It might be useful. I haven't used it much because I'm on linux. Just give it a shot.

still no go,
i can give it a drive letter. but it shows as a Raw file system, cant format in ANY program
when i do a sector scan the first block is red, then it stops at 25.867%
could it be the MBR or boot secotr gone? if so is there programs to help combat this?
Try gparted and yes it works with backtrack. In my previous comment in the "source" link a guy had the same problem as yours, the card says "write protected" and the only strong reply he got was to get the memory card replaced

nah i brought it from ebay, said 2-3 days delivery, after 4 weeks i assumed it got lost in the post so i got a refund. but sure enough 3 days later it arrived. so i dont think he will take it back. a class 10 16gb sd card is only £10, but i just dont understand how these things get corrupt and break so damn easy
ok im running ANOTHER surface scan on it now. it has got a lot further than it did before, theres about 220 red bad blocks. ini partition tool shows it as a bad disk.
before when this happened i plugged it into me xbox and configured it as a memory unit, then re formatted it on me pc but it wont do it this time.
is there a way or a program that will scan and fix bad blocks? windows cant do it because it cant pick it up as an actual memory card

You can actually use BackTrack to do what another user said to do with Ubuntu/linux. It's the same thing.

Sandisk, Ebay, and low price all point to counterfeit.
Mini partition shows it has 112 bad sectors. Is. There no way to fix it? Like certain dos programs or sd repairs.
Its wierd. When I go to cwm and mount usb it formats fine to fat 32 in windows. Then cwm crashes and its bk to spuare one. Arrrgg!

Hey there,
for the second time now Android (KG6; has happened once on KG1 before) came up with the message "SD Card corrupted... please format".
Totally out of the blue. Nothing special has happened. I didn't take out the battery or something...
So I take out the SD, put in in my card reader and Windows has no problems with it. No error message and I can use the card as regular, reading out all data that's supposed to be there.
Last time I backed up the content, formatted the SD, put the content back on and placed it back in the phone. Everything worked fine again. But considering that this process took like an hour or so (20GB of data to move) I really don't want to do this every second week.
Does someone have an idea what this could be caused by? It is an annoying thing and I really don't want to run into it when theres no pc and card reader close by.
Any constructive thoughts appreciated!
btw, I've got this SD-Booster running on Android, which changes the cache-size for SD data. Can this cause the alleged corruption?
Now when it is working just keep using it. I don't think the problem will come back again
Best of Luck.

No, that's not possible, because this app doesn't work with your files directly.

I have the same problem. Ubuntu and Windows has no problem with the SD card. I can even read the sd card when I put the phone into nandroid recovery mode, but after loading Android it says it is damaged.
Can anybody help with this?
Just format the sd card in fat at default allocation size and you will be good to go...
It happen due to partition coorupt in sd card... So formatting will erase the causes of partition.

Vista could not format. Managed to do it on XP. Working okay now. Luckily I always keep a backup, but still a nuisance copying over 15gb of data.
Thanks again.
I recently got a 32 gb micro sd for my view, I just finished formatting it on my pc. I used a fat32 format, not sure if thats totally the right file system, but found a few people that used it. Anyway, the tablet recognizes the card but the camera can't save to the sd card and when i goto gallery it just says insert sd card.

Hi
Apologies, but I'm having a little difficulty. I just bought a 64 GB sandisk card, and had reformatted it in my SGS2. It recognises 59GB OK. That is not the issue.
I am trying to copy my 32GB card (about 29GB full) using my Windows 7 PC into a folder on my desktop. Then I was going to copy entire contents onto 64GB card and insert in SGS2.
But it just won't do it. Windows just doesn't seem to be built for shifting around that volume of data.
What am I doing wrong?
You have to so be doing something wrong i have copied even more than that before without any issues.
do a search and see what you come up with.
Download Teracopy and install. A million times better than the standard file transferring in windows. Will allow you to see where the copy failed and retry anything that failed to copy. Also won't stop the file copy when one fails, will skip that file and continue copying.
How is the card formated. Windows wont allow a single file bigger than 4gb if its FAT32. You have to use other programs.

His 32gb existing card would be fat32, so i doubt that's the problem.

Where did you get you're 64gb card, how much was it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I think what s2sd is impling that you might have a fals sd card with a boot loop crack installed on it.
You can test the card for this, have a lot at this site:http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2...standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
It happend to me aswell, even paying a normal amount for the card
To check for fake cards, try the SDCardTester app (free from Android Market). There's also a Windows app, h2testw, that works similarly.

Hi, I used Terra Copy, everything works fine. I now have 8,000 songs on my phone.
Thanks for the help guys.
Wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I am.
Was using my phone and my Samsung 64GB class 10 Micro Sdcard "ejected" although it was still in the phone. It had been working fine for a week. I manually ejected and placed it back in but it will not read. I get the "Scanning/Preparing SD card" Message but it always says unavailable. Thinking that my card crapped out on my, I put a brand new Kingston class 10 64 GB sd card but experiencing the same results. Oddly enough, I have an old Class 10 Transcend 8GB card that will read. I am running the stock OS-Unlocked Boot/Rooted/S-off. Only mods I have done are flashing the released HTC kernel that is R/W. (Dont know if I need to reflash the one that came with the phone), and flashed the SD card write fix posted in this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700310
Anyone know where I can get the stock ATT kernel that may have the correct drivers for ext sd? Any suggestions?
Copy what you have on the sdcard to computer and format fat32 then retry card in phone

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I have a SD card reader on my laptop and it recognized the card just fine but if I put the card in the phone and plug in the phone to computer via USB, it will NOT recognize/see the card.
Im pretty sure it is a software issue. Does anyone have access or a link to the stock ATT kernel/boot.img?? I'd like to troubleshoot but forgot to make a back up before I flashed the R/W kernel released here. Thanks.
Doesnt matter if the sdcard reader sees it fine in windows, your more than likely going from windows to android, try what I suggested. If the card is not formatted @fat32 it will not be read in phone...

Maybe I forgot to mention it but both cards are FAT32 formatted. Also, the samsung card was working just fine for a week before these issues started happening.
Im still searching for the stock att kernel.
Ok did you reformat and try them again?

Went to try and reformat them again and am getting some weird results.
If i plug them directly into the computer with an adapter and use SDFormat to format them, then the M8 will read the cards? However, it only reads half the amount of memory (30gb) and I do not have an option within SDFormat to change the size. Since M8 now reads the card, I went to format it within the storage settings and once that completes, it no longer recognizes the card...?? Not sure how that is possible unless the phone is reformatting the card to a format it does not recognize..?
Use sdcard reader on laptop format fat32,set it to default size...it varies on different cards, 4 kb 8kb 16kb etc...

Thanks for the continued assistance. I have done this but still only have Half of the advertised memory. When I first installed it out of the box, it worked and showed full memory (62gb). Also, the default windows formatting tool will render the card unreadable by the M8 so im using the program called SDFormatter. Seems like I'm running in circles so I guess I'll just deal with half the memory for now. At least it works.

Ive never had a card unreadable after a format in windows...lol...something new to me...usually what Ill do is format in windows then reformat on phone....Justa as an after thought have your done a Backup & Reset,then hit reset all data on the phone with the sdcard in it?...may be worth a try...

Use above instructions to remove all partitions from sd card. Insert into phone it will prompt you about it being damaged and ask if you want to format it. Answer yes.
If you still continue to have issues, it is most likely a hardware issue.

Thank you guys for the help!
I tried using the above fix (disk part) but it didnt even recognize the device. L0ng story short. I was able to use BOOTICE to reformat my KINGSTON Sd card to 60 GB but my samsung only reads 30 (even though it is advertised as 64) I read that when you reformat some Samsung cards, there is a protected area that most generic formatting utilities can overwrite and render the card to half capacity. Not sure if that's the case but oh well. Got it the other card to work. Thanks so much guys! Now if I can figure out why the phone isn't turning on now.....

I was real tired today when I got home and found a package containing a Samsung 256 Gig SD Card had arrived so I promptly put it in the phone and formatted it and then I must have done something wrong as the phone wouldn't read it...I was able to remove the card and find that Windows would read it no problems...
I know that this phone accepts 256 Gig cards so that isn't a problem so what else could it be??? Anyone have any tips to allow me to get back the use of the card?? What format should the card be formatted as and can it be formatted in Windows and then placed in the phone??

Just an update, I have been trying everything to get the card working in the phone but nothing so far...I am able to see it in Windows and I can format it and reformat it to different file systems...ex-fat being the format of choice for Android phones...
One interesting thing I have noticed is that there is a 16mb partition on the card that I can't get rid of...this I think may be the problem...does anyone have any idea as to how to get rid of this partition and merge it with the rest of the card? I have tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition but feel it might be something to do with Linux...am I close?

Did you partition the sdcard in twrp? If so it would be an ext3 or ext4 file system which windows normally doesnt read. Although a decent partition tool should be able to see and delete the partitions. I also double checked and your rom should support exfat.
Have you tried copying multiple large files to sdcard? Could be a format issue. I normally format my sdcards on my pc although I use linux (windows only for special uses). Could try creating a live boot copy of linux on a cd or usb drive and see if that helps. Just use Ubuntu which is one of the easiest. Gparted is the tool you will use. It will already be included with the OS.

No, I initially formatted the card in the phone as per normal...for some reason I then took it out and musta done something to it for it to be unreadable in the phone....

Did the card ever work? Where did the card come from? Could it be a fake? They take this small card partition it and run a compression tool to make it appear larger than it actually is. Which is part of why I mentioned coping a few large files (2-3 gig vids). Video cant be compressed much more than it already is so the card would look almost full with only a few gigs being used.

I did transfer a small file (5mb mp3) to the first small partition (15mb) and my phone recognised it so if only I could get rid of that partition or merge it somehow with the remaining partition I think it would clear up this problem...
I transferred a file to the other partition but it wasn't recognised by the phone...

Have you tried using custom recover and doing a repartition? Read the question carefully. I have not repartitioned in recovery in a long time. I believe there are 3 options as you go through the process. If the first is like a cache partition set to zero. If second is an ext partition also set to zero. The third should be external storage I believe it will automatically set to max size but if not then set to max. Again it has been years so things might have changed but willing to bet they have not.

Just to let you know, I have been able to solve the problem in WIndows, using a more up to date version of Minitool Partition wizard...I was able to format both partitions and then resize and the merge them...Windows wouldnt recognise it but when I put it into the phone it was there so am happy again...
Thanks for your help and suggestions...

I know how to edit a post and add a title but I thought you meant the title of the thread...I don't know how to do that and I supposed it was up to an admin...
