Hi all,
I recently needed my 8GB sdcard to install windows on a laptop with a broken dvd drive.
First I dragged all the data from the sdcard over to a new folder on my iMac.
After repartitioning and formatting the drive so it would be bootable I used it to instal windows on the laptop.
All was done so I erased all data again on the sdcard and repartitioned it again to FAT with mac's Disk Utility.
Dragged all the data from the iMac back to the sdcard but after booting the phone all apps that were on the sdcard are no longer able to start.
I searched the interweb and these forums and came across a few possible solutions but i'm not sure if those are the right ones
Does anybody have a solution to this problem so I can run these apps again without losing data?
Thanks in advance..
try reformating the sdcard with the phone format in recovery then connect to your mac and recopy the data back to the sdcard.
The phone does not like certain types of partitioning from other computers, using the phone own format guarantees that phone will recognize the sdcard.

So, I hooked up my Razr to my company laptop and mounted the drives for the sdcard and internal memory drives as normal when wanting to access the files.
Now this didn't happen with my G2, but I got prompted that I had to encrypt the drives with a Yes or No option....I clicked Yes my mistake and now both drives got encrypted.
Accessible only when connected to my laptop now but the phone works fine, I just can't see anything with a file viewer as the files are encrypted.
Local IT says they cannot de-crypt the files, they don't have access. BUT, I can copy all the files from both MOT drive and sdcard to the laptop and burn to CD/DVD which will decrypt the files.
HOWEVER, I need to format both drives and then copy files back. But what is the proper way to format both drives???
Thanks!
No suggestions on the best way to format the Internal memory and sdcard?
Do the formatting options work good enough in the Storage setting?
Yuo should be fine doing that from the phone.
factory reset your device or you can try flashing the correct rom
Hi, I followed the following tip from a member:

Extremely easy process to build a card similar to N2A to run a very stable CM10 from:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
And am wondering what the fourth FAT32 partitions purpose is, other than storing freshly downloaded files to it, or else for app data.
Since I can't access it from Windows, (just as Minitool says..."you can access only the 1st BOOT fat32 partition from Windows"), I can't copy any of my existing mp3's, vids, ebooks, or big game APK's (100's of MB each) to it. I created it big (10GB) for this purpose, but then while deleting,recreating this parition in Minitool, I saw (& then remembered) the minitool msg. How can one sideload files to the sdcard from a Win7 PC? Make that first FAT32 partition (by default 249MB) my 10GB ? Is that even an an option? OR is there a better method of getting all my existing mp3's, movie files, and APK files onto the SDcard?
You should see this partition when you connect your NT to your PC.
Like Digixmax says, connect the Tablet to the PC. You should be able to see both your internal storage and the use partition on the sd-card.
The Tablet might show up as a picture of an mp3-player with headphones OR you get prompts on the Tablet itseld to enable USB storage or something like that. It depends on you storage settings how the Tablet shows up on your PC, but you should absolutely be able to transfer files both to internal storage and the card!.
Thanks guys. I'm copying my stuff to it right now.
I've been having problems with the SD card on my Cricket Huawei Ascend for a long time. I cannot download anything on any browser, it will only result in an error saying I do not have enough space. When I mount the SD card, there are no files visible on my PC, and I have tried formatting it, but unmounting it will only have the phone return it from it's 944mb of free space after I formatted to 875mb of free space with 4 files- busyboxstericon, ComFile.dat, crash.txt, and toolbox-stericson. These files return no matter what I do. Moving files from the PC to sd card will only be wiped when I unmount it. Any solution, or is it beyond redemption? I've also tried some solutions like the SDformatter program, and windows chkdsk, but they have not worked. I also factory reset my phone out of desperation, but no.
Try the HP format utility. Don't use the windows one.
HTC One
Does not have external sd card, only the "Internal Storage"
I was trying to multitask and ended up wiping Internal Storage through TWRP.
Is there any app / process I can use to recover files?
Undelete[app] errors out saying it's not a fat filesystem
Disk Digger[app] only searches for specific file extensions, which would cover things like my TitaniumBackup & TWRP Backup files
When I plug it into a computer, it shows up as a Portable Device, and no problem that I've downloaded (Recurva / PCI / EUSUA) is able to search on portable devices, only physical/logical drives.
Is there anything I can do to attempt to get data back from the sd card?
Edit: Should have looked it up first...

That's obviously not for your phone, but there might be similar steps or a way to adapt that to work for you. Good luck!
Hello,
my SD-card is damaged, it can no longer be formatted as internal memory. How can I, if not the data, at least save the SD-card and use it again as internal memory?
I inserted the card with adapter into Windows PC and executed CHKDSK, supposedly there is RAW data on it. Windows Disk Management displays the SD-card 100% error-free, with 16MB and 28.5GB partitions. Windows can't read them either. What could I do to recover data and/or memory?
I cannot connect to the PC via USB debugging (with ADB and MTP). Is there another possibility of SD-card & or data recovery, if I had the exact error code, for example? Anything, anyone?

1st of all, I don't know, how this is related to our device! :/
Anyway, Use an sd card reader and plug it via a usb in pc and see if windows detect it...
if yes, you can format it by windows and then recover the data by any data recovery software...(100% data can never be recovered, or there might be a chance that no data is recovered)
If not then probably you won't be able to recover anything. You can try giving to a shop who recover the data, they might be able to help!
I inserted the micro sd-card with SD-Card adapter into Windows PC and executed CHKDSK, supposedly there is RAW data on it.
Windows Disk Management displays the SD-card 100% error-free, with 1x 16MB and 1x 28.5GB partitions.
BUT windows OS can't read DATA either.
I've found that Linux on a PC can sometimes read USB memory sticks that Windows finds unreadable.
This may apply to SD cards as well, so put your SD card into a PC-accessible card reader and try reading it under Linux.
There are various versions of Linux that don't need to be installed on your hard disk, and can be booted direct from CD or USB stick.
These are referred to as "live" installations.
GParted Live CD or USB stick might be useful for you. (Search for it).
(GParted = Gnome Partition Editor. Take care with that particuler program though)
Thanks for your advice. I will probably try this in second life.
