missing files on micro SDHC after transfer

Hi, i have my HTC hero rooted with the last Villainrom 12.0.0, i recently bought a new micro sd card 32gb and i dont know why but after i transfer data to my sd card i can see it, taste it, use it with no problems, but when i put the sd card into my phone some files get missing, i dont know why, but they just dissapear, may get into some kind of trash folder hidden into the card, but they are just gone...
i tried eather mounting the sd from my phone trough USB and retrieving the card from the phone and pluging it into the sd card reader in my pc, it doesnt matter, the problem stays.
i thougt may be it was some problem with the partition, i had the partition to use apps2sd, ext3 and all the crap, but the issue was still there, then i formatted in my pc fat32, still the problem, and finally formatted trough my phone fat32 and the problem persists, i dont know if maybe some software on my phone is making this happen or anything...
i dont know what to think, i know my sd card is ok becouse i used it filled with data and had no problems before...
please help me.... im gonna cry
I have exactly the same problem with my HD2... trying to upgrade from 8bg micro SD to 2gb micro SD.... everything copies across (or so it seems) however all the files in the 'program files' folder haven't come across, nor has my TOMTOM gps folder files..... ?
I've tried everything I can think of, why can I not copy card to card via my PC.... I'm sure it was simple when I changed from 2gb to 8gb cards.
Any help very much appreciated.

[Q] why isn't my SD card working anymore?

Hi,
I two days ago rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2). Before i rooted i transferred some files to my computer and i did same with my 4GB sandisk external SD Card, just incase.
So i took my SD card out and mounted it on my computer and then mounted it back to my phone and started to root.
After all was done i notice that all the apps that i had moved to External SD were gone (they were there but only as an android with the name "loading")
Now i can't even move new apps and games to SD card and i can't move them back since they "Aren't installed anymore"
What would cause this to happen, was it the rooting or the fact that i had unmounted the SD card before?
Also, now that i want to backup my stock ROM i can't do it on the SD since CWM doesn't recognize it. I can however backup to Internal, but i am planning to make a factory reset of my phone, so i can "start again" and it would be a great shame to loose my backup files.
Thank you for the time.
1st try your sd card in another phone to see if the problem is with the card or the phone.
If the problem with card replace it.
If it is with the phone, try rerooting your phone.

[Q] SD-Card Failed - Not Recognised

Hello Guys.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S iii and I have insterted a Micro SD 8GB Card, which I was using for quite a while.
The other day, while on a trip and taking pictures, the SD Card got full and from that instant forward the phone stopped recognised it for some reason. It gives the following message: - SD Card Blank or it has an unsupported file...
I have also used an adapted to connect it on the computer, but the pc does not recognise it either.
Therefore, my question is: Is there some way I can retrieve the data (pictures) from the SD Card?
Thanks.
Download the sd formatting tool and use your pc to full format the card, if that doesn't work then bin it and buy a new one.
As for the data, the file allocation table probably corrupted when the card was filled. If you search on Google there are programs for the pc that might repair parts of it but I doubt you will get much back, it's like trying to unscramble eggs.

before formatting your sd just try mounting the sd card on your pc with some sd card connectors.

Unfortunately the computer does not recognise the card at all, therefore i guess I have lost all the data..
Thanks anyway.
You can try data recovery software might work

[Q] No Permission to delete files in external Micro SD Card in Android JellyBean

Hello Folks,
I am using XOLO Q600 running andriod jellybean OS, unrooted. I am having a weird experience with my sd card. Last evening I was playing a game and my phone got hung in next few minutes. I was not even able to shut it down. So I pulled out the battery and restarted it. Since then it is showing DAMAGED SD CARD error, and asking me to format it. But, again, I am unable to format it from my phone, and my can't read the card. I tried to connect my sd card to my laptop using a card reader, it is showing all the files, I am able to copy all the files to my hard drive, but I am not able to delete them. I tried all possble methods to format it, but vain. I even tried to low level format it, but it says card is readonly. When I again insert it into my phone, it says damaged sd card again, but if I try to format it many times (on the phone), say 5 to 10 times, luckily it is successful once and the card works fine in the phone, I can read all the files, but I can't delete any file, it says "No permission to delete". Now if I restart my phone, it would say DAMAGED SD CARD once again, and I would be screwed up. Someone please help !

SD card problem

Hi guys im having a bit of drama with my sd card and my samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 running android 7.0 unrooted
I first noticed this yesterday as utorrent kept throwing me an error during my download, when i selected the sd card as the download location i noticed it said app data then once i changed the location to internal app data things worked fine.
I tried to delete the failed download but a little error message came up unable to delete so i formated my sd card and it asked for me to select a file to allow write function, i moved my downloads over to the sd card then continued with another download. utorrent has again failed halfway through then upon looking it has actually wiped my sd card completely nothing shows up but apparently i have used 2.8gb but theres no files.
ive been looking around and ive been seeing bits about sd write function being removed after kitkat but i cant seem to find anything about my sd card being wiped or why i cant delete files. Please could someone help me understand whats what or point me in the direction of a thread that explains all this.
thanks in advance

E.g. SanDisk forces some of their usb pen drives into a permanent read-only state when the pen drive detects that it is damaged. Once this happens, this cannot be undone. It is a mechanism to try to save the data. Perhaps your sd card is damaged and something similiar occured? It sounds like a broken/damaged sd card. If you don't need the data on the sd card, you may try to format the sd card with your pc and then again format it with your mobile device. If this fails, it is likely that the sd card is damaged.

Thanks for the reply but tbh ive been really busy getting bits sorted for my holiday i forgot to update my post, turns out its the sd reader in the tablet at fault which is a bit annoying as its the 1st time ive used it in the 8 months ive owned the tablet. Its the 2nd fault to develop with the tablet 1st fault was unresponsive touch screen tight out the box that was repaired now i need to wait until i return from my holiday to have the reader fixed, luckily an OTG and sd reader works like a charm.
