i know this has been posted alot of times,but take your time to read my post too please. so i have this 8gb verbatim micro sdhc, class 4 my phone is a p500(rooted,cm,cwm).a month ago the card stopped being read by my phone all of a sudden. at that time the pc wouldnt read it either, but i managed to make it readable with a low level format tool. the thing is the phone doesnt read it, it reads my other 2gb card and my friend's 8 and 16gb. i have tried many things to make this work, sdformater tool, custom recovery images, the thing is the sd card isnt read even in recovery. i dont know what to do anymore... thanks in advance , and i hope this is the apropriate section of the forum to post in

That's very strange. Maybe your card has just gone dead. Download Minitool Partition Wizard and try to format the card using that.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
did a surface test, no error blocks, did a format, phone still says "sd card removed. insert a new one", going to try a wipe with the 7 passes setting now, going to tell you soon what happens
it didnt work... it doesnt read it in recovery even. when i try to format sd-ext it says something like E:format_volume: make_extf4s failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ,also i tried every format possible when reformating it with minitool

hi there,
yesterday i was using Villain5.4 ROM and bought new 8GB MicroSD
i was trying to use app2SD so i partitioned the MicroSD to
- FAT32 6.8GB
- Ext2 512MB
- Swap the remained allocation
(all using Paragon Partition Manager)
and i've rebooted my HTC Hero so the App2SD was working!
but i couldn't mount my SD to my PC and couldn't reach any data in my SD
so i tried to format my SD and reallocated it into 8GB (using paragon partition too)
then rebooted my phone....
and i got stucked in bootscreen!!!
so i've tried to use my old 2GB MicroSD (without using App2SD)
got the same problem
i've tried to
- Wipe data and flash the new Villain5.5: FAIL
- Flash the official rom: FAIL
now my phone still stuck at the bootscreen
what i can do??
plz somebody get me out of here !!!
thx a lot
can you give some more details, what exactly is the problem when mounting the card to the pc etc.
"FAIL" isn't an error message that we could evaluate here...

Sorry I'm some kind of newbie here
when I mount the card to pc(through my htc hero) and chose "disk drive"
then, nothing happened
"FAIL" that I mean is "it didn't work"
ps. I think the App2sd function maybe not disabled yet, is that possible?
If that's possible, how can I disable it?
Thanks
"fail" and "don't work" are both equally useless. imagine your car breaks down, would you got to a car forum and ask "my car doesn't work, can you help me?"...
tell us what happens. if nothing happens then tell us that nothing happens. if you get an error message quote it here. and describe exactly what you did.
now take your phone, install the latest amon ra (1.6.2) if you haven't done already. use the recovery to partition your sdcard to fat only or fat and ext2, do not use ext3, ext4 or swap. then go through all the wipe options, then try to flash a rom.
Hi XDA Members and staff!
Today i have bought a brand new Samsung 32GB Class 10 + High speed MicroSD Card. I just placed a new rom on the SD CARD and flashed it on to my HTC HD2 as i got to the Home screen i didn't see the Preparing SD card notification so i connected my phone to my computer and guess what it didn't show up... Then i took my old LG phone and it worked. I went to format it and then again guess what; it was 31.6MB Free of 31.6MB! Where did my memory go? OK i right clicked F: selected "format" tried making it FAT32 but is not there... So i done it on FAT; still no luck... I then tried SDFormatter no luck; it wasn't even capable of Fully erasing it because it wasn't compatible with the LG phone.... OMFN! I am so unlucky! God hates me!
Can Somebody help me out?
God does not hate you that's impossible. God loves you. What kind of SD is this ??? Also try this

If it doesn't work send Me a pm and after I get home from church I'll check to see if your issue still remains. God Bless

My suggestion is that you try to erase all data from the SD card, even partition data. I don't use Windows a lot these days, so I can't point you to a useful utility, but it's very simple in Linux-based systems if you use GParted. If you don't have GParted or even Linux then download GParted Live from gparted.sourceforge.net , it's a bootable cd/usb-image you can run without installing anything on your computer.
Then in GParted, remove all partitions, create a new FAT32 partition and format it.
I've fixed some corrupt SD-cards this way myself. I've also seen some wierdly factory formatted SD-cards during the years.
I dont know if there are a topic with this but i dont find any.
I create a second partition for link2sd, a ext3 partition, its work but today i changed the rom and my second partition disappear, from my phone and my pc.
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard and not recognize the second partition, only appear the first, my 4GB SD only show 3GB and no way to restore the full 4GB because MiniTool and other programs that i used dont show the ext3 partition to delete it, HEEEEEEEEELEP. I WANT TO RESTORE MY SD AND GET BACK THE 4GB.
You're using a Card Reader and NOT connecting the phone via USB right?
If your phone can read the card, format it using CWM. That'll solve the issue.

I use the phone via USB but thanks for your help, i'll buy a card reader to try that way. But i try to format via CWM and show the same 3GB. But anyway, i'll try whit a Card Reader then comment here, thanks a lot.
cheers mate i have a solution
flash a stock rom with odin
yes thats all your partition will be wiped off and your card will show 4GB again
p.s. : i have learnt this from personel experience though in my case i didnt want the partition to get wiped
ninja edit: and dont buy that card reader ... buy yourself a coke instead
how this happen????!!
This happen during when u wan to change ROM you will make a full wipe that why your partition gone..
how to prevent this happen??
Its easy before you make a full wipe make sure you eject out your SD card ..and after that you can full wipe...after full wipe its done put back your SD card... and flash the new Zip. file
Hello ,
I guess i ****ed up my microSD card .
I had one 16 Gb A-data microSD card and for whatever reason , i try to format for APP2SD , that special partition, ext 3 or whatever .
But... not just i was not able to make it work , but when i tried to make it the way it was before ... it was stucked or seems to be a ireversible process.
I tried different methods but not one seems to work . I got to make a mention that the card was working just fine before i had that stupid idea.
No matter what , now windowx is showing to have only 1gb capacity, but... when i tried to format that 1 gb , everytime it fails.
flashnull , HPUSBDisk, SDFormatter, MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, linux Gparted , every single tool i was thinking of was useless.
You guys are my last hope .
Thanks in advance for your help ...
Actually, the more you format it, the more harm you make, because sd cards are very sensitive when it comes to formatting them. I've successfully killed my 4gb microsd that way

so , i understand that is NO solution to this problem ?!
Well, as far as I know, no, but I might be wrong as well
Hello folks,
Have been using this 64GB Sandisk card in Galaxy S4 for about a year now. Last week, out of nowhere, the phone started acting out. I had to wipe the internal storage and reinstall the ROM. Usually, this ROM takes less than 5 minutes to install but this time it took almost 20 minutes, which is super odd.
I thought of formatting the SD card and starting over
BUT
Any way I try, I can not format this card. If I put the card back in the phone, it asks me to format and if I say yes, it tries but can not format the card.
I tried chkdsk on windows 10 machine, it hung. I had to restart the machine.
I tried checkflash utility, it hung after about 3 hours of write (in write and read mode)
I tried to check if it is in read-only mode, it is not.
I tried SD card formatter from SD card association's website. It fails quick format and for thorough format, it hangs eventually.
I tried to delete the files but it won't delete them either.
How do I deal with this one now?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. - Mods, feel free to move the thread n appropriate section. Wasn't too sure where to post.
