[Q] Damaged SD card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I've had several tries formatting and installing ARHD30.1 restoring my previous using NAND backup, until I finally managed to install ARHD30.1 correctly.
But since then, I have a notification, every several hours, of 'Damaged SD card'.
Does it refer the internal SD card or my external SD card? through the files manager I can access both my internal and external SD cards.
How do you suggest to check if it is a ROM issue or a real card issue?
Should I try installing ARHD22.4 or restore my NAND backup again, to see if the issue continues, or is there any other, simple way to check it?
Thanks in advance.

AW: [Q] Damaged SD card
This refers to your external card. You might install a stock firmware to see if the error still prevails.
Just for information purposes: Did you try to perform a full wipe? Remember to backup your whole data and apps before..
|| Typed with my S4 Octa-Beast or my Note 10.1 ||

I did a full wipe, with full format of system/cache/data/sdcard/preload (I removed my external SD card before all that)
any ideas, again, before doing all that again?

Have you got your external sd backed up? I'd so then reformat it in the phone

[Q] error 0x80070057 when trying to copy roms to interernal sd

Been getting error 0x80070057 when trying to copy roms to interernal sd. Roms copy fine to the external sd.
I googled the error and mainly got back info that its a windows error usually having to deal with email or exchange.
?In the process of trying to make it work I soft bricked the vibrant and used odin to get it back up and running.
the following pics show the error message and what roms I tried to copy over.
Any help would be amazing thanks

reformatting the internal sd card??
Ive thought about it, wasnt sure if that was ok to do.
will it still boot properly after I do or will I have to go into download and use Odin??
internal sd card does not affect boot, just backup the files you want to keep.
think of the internal sd card as an external sd that you cannot remove.

[Q] 0x80070057: Parameter error
I've tried flashing Som's fix on Axura 2.0.5, Onyx 4.2, Obsidan 4.2 and still got the parameter error. Then I formatted the external sd card by phone and by computer and error was still there. Now i'm running mancut r13 but that error won't go away either. Anyone has any clues how to overcome it?
Im having the opposite problem. Im running axura 2.06 and I cant copy to my external sd. The internal is fine. I was trying to copy some mp4 files over and the first one I did copied over just fine, but after that I kept getting the parameter error. Any help would be great, thanks!

Damaged SD card

I am running CM7 Alpha 3. It suddenly said "Damaged SD Card" and I may need to reformat it. webOS can use it without problem. I also connect it to windows and do a disk check there. However I still can't mount the SD card partition in CM7. Any idea?
OK I format SD card thing and Android still won't read it, saying the SD card is damaged. Help?

I think your SOL and have to reinstall an android build.
This is a bug that happens when you have more than 50 apps installed on the sdcard.
You need to goto .android_secure and delete a few files to get under 50. I have also heard that if you goto manage applications you could remove a few apps that are installed on the sdcard.

[Q] format USB storage, erasing all files stored there?

Hi Guys..
Wondering if someone can help..
I have been running CM9 and some other ICs ROMS for a while now.. and have started to receive the following notification.
"format USB storage, erasing all files stored there?"
I initially did this ( did backup to PC first) and it made no difference... it still keeps on coming up.. i have also formatted via CWM too...
This is solely with internal SD and no external SD installed... i am unsure how i can fix this..
I have searched around a bit but can only find answers relating to a removable SD card (removing and formatting via SD card slot in PC) and not the internal one..
Any ideas?

Just a suggestion:
You may have to flash a new ROM with ODIN and enable the Re-Partition option.
Try to use the pit file for the ROM you are flashing.
Good luck !

[Q] Backups

Just wondering where a nandroid backup should be stored and if it matters where it is stored? I tried saving my stock rooted backup to my ext sd card awhile back, and now when I try to restore from backup in twrp there is no information found. I then tried to factory restore from twrp and reset my phone as is. It constantly bootloops until i pull the battery out.

What do you mean no information is found? I believe Twrp checks the internal sd by default and wont show your backup in your external sd until you change to look for it in your micro sd card. When you boot into recovery and and then hit restore at the top does the storage bar say Internal storage? If so tap it and change it to micro sd card then your backups should be displayed.

You need to make sure that your Recovery is compatible (i.e., can read) the format of your external card. You might have a 64gb external card formatted in exFAT which TWRP can't read (I don't use TWRP so I don't know if that's the case).
If the issue is compatibility between your card format and your recovery, I would recommend copying the backup off your card onto a PC, reformatting your sd card to FAT32, move the backup back to the card, and try again.
PS - in re: your ? on where to save backup: Internal storage is always 'safest' from a recovery perspective (i.e., your device will always find it); but these days, nandroid backups could be 5GB or more, consuming a huge chunk of space, especially if you only have 16gb to start with. So I think most people end up using their external card.

External Sd not showing up in CWM

Hello again everyone, I have a 4gig sd card that I use with my s2 i9100, but for some reason Philz touch CWM recovery doesn't detect it. Now this happened before and I just formatted it via the storage settings on the phone, I then successfully did a nandroid backup to it. A few days later I planned on installing cm, so in preparation for that i decided to test out that backup just in case. But now the Sd card doesn't show up when I press restore and I cant mount it
.
Things Iv tried:
formatting it via storage settings (what worked last time)
formatting it using windows
doing the above again but this time dragging the copy of the sd card I made prior to the first attempt at formatting onto it
Edit: now the backup on my internal sd has gone missing, really confused about this one)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not comfortable flashing without having a backup on the external sd
