Hi
I've noticed about two days that when i delete a file or folder on my sd card, after a reboot, the file or folder does appear again. I've also tried creating a folder or a file, but after a reboot, they are gone.
the sd card is a scandisk 32gb sdhc, I'm running RR 4.0.7 rom, kernel is Dorimanx 9.40.
things I've tried:
format the card through recovery, remove the card and insert in a card reader and format no success.
through recovery, it says format successful but after a restart, the files and folders are still there.
on windows, using disk manager, formating unsuccessful and using sd formatter, I'm advice to switch off the write protection. switched on and off on card reader just to see but same message.
any suggestion would be appreciated.
ps: also used linux live cd, boot, tried to format from there but no success.
Looks like its an issue with the SD card mate. Try another card and see first.

I tried flashing my 3125 to the latest official ROM via the nbh from RUU_STAR100_4.1.502.5_02.79.30_CWS_SHIP.exe in bootloader mode.
It gets as far as the "Update SD image?" screen, I press the button to start the update process, and I receive an "SD FAT Update failed !!!" error.
What am I doing wrong? Have I bricked my phone?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated...
Sounds like your SD card is not formatted with FAT32. Verify that it is, or just reformat it and make sure the file is correctly named, resides in the root directory and is the only thing on the card. Reply back on what you find.

I reformatted the card to Fat32, downloaded the RUU again, and extracted the nbh file it to the root directory of my microsd card, as STARIMG.nbh, and still got the same SD FAT update failed error.
(I did not use a volume label, and double checked that my card was in fact formatted in Fat32, which it was)

Is your microSD card from Sandisk? My girlfriend was experienced the same problem (well, I was messing with her cellphone, don't tell her LOL), untill I tried my Kingston card. No idea what is the difference, both cards were with NO errors at all...
Try using few different microSD cards. And format them with the Panasonic SDFormatter only.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm almost certain it's a problem with my phone, and not the microsd card.
I tried using the same card to flash a different 3125, and was able to do so without incident - so, I've pretty much concluded that my other phone is shot.
(Oh, and for the record, it's not a sandisk card, it's an AData one)

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.
Hi. Noob Android user here
So. I turned on usb storage and formatted the sd card from windows. I copied some files onto it and after i turned off usb storage it said "SD card is safe to remove" and i don't seem to be able to mount it back.
Thank you.

try to format it thru phone
Tried that a couple of time and it didn't work. After a couple of reboots it worked now. Thanks.
Still got a question though.
What are the correct settings for formatting the sd card from windows?
Is it necessary to partition it from CWM? What are the correct setting for this?
LE: Ok. I got myself deeper in trouble. I managed to format the sd card from CWM. I mounted the sd card and copied update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip over. I wiped the phone's memory and tried to install CM7 and got the following error: "E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p500-signed.zip (bad)". I also tried with update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500-KANG-signed_v2.6.zip but doesn't work either.
I was thinking of trying to partition the sd card from CWM but i'm afraid i will make it unable to mount back again and this time i got no android to format it from.
Also it seems that formatting the sd card from cwm doesn't really work. The files are still there though it says that it completed.
LE2: I managed to mount sd card from cwm and copied over a cwm backup folder i had in my computer. Takes a while to copy it like it really does something. But after i try to restore or remount usb storage the files aren't there anymore.
can you tell me why do you want to patition your sd card? do you want to create second partition (sd-ext) or what?

Just format your SDCARD from SETTINGS - STORAGE, after that proceed with the instalation of CM7 or whatever you want. Don't partition your SDCARD if you don't know how to do that and if you don't need partitioned SDCARD. It is not necessary to do that if you don't use an APPS2SD app, so don't waste your time with that.
Hello. When trying to flash my mini X android box, I used sd card from my sgs2. After that, I inserted the card to sgs2 and rebooted.
The telephone said "Corrupted card" and asked to format. However, it formatted internal sd card!! And it doesn't see the external one.
I've tried formatting external sd to fat32. No luck.
What should I do?

Well, this may sound stupid or strange, but what I couldn't do with gParted or Windows partition was easily done by putting sd-card to my Note 10.1
My problem is solved by now. The only thing that bothers me is that my internal sd is formatted and everything's lost. If anyone knows how to recover all data, please pm me

Recently my Redmi Note 3 (Kate) stopped detecting my Micro SD card. The phone didn't fall down, I didn't change Kernel or ROM neither. It just stopped out of the blue.
Weird thing is that on my computer the card works perfectly fine. Tried different cards with different sizes (16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB). All work fine on my computer but the phone doesn't see them.
A few times a day I get a notification that my phone detected a corrupted SD card and tries to fix it but quits with an error.
My first thought was that it was caused by the ROM I'm using (Citrus CAF) but the cards aren't even detected in TWRP (official and RedWolf).
So I guess it isn't the ROM's fault then.
Any ideas?
I don't know how to edit and attach a picture.
Attached you can see the error message I get when trying to format the SD card

Try a small size and format using FAT32 and tell me.
Ooooo... I didn't see the other post if TWRP doesnt see it try to mount it from there or just go to wipe and just select micro sd and see what's the output..
Hey! I am glad I am not the only one encountered this. I went to search everywhere in the web and most of it are talking about a corrupted micro SD card.
I cross checked by switching my alternative phone micro SD card into my redmi note 3 and it doesn't work as well. Both micro SD card works perfectly on my other phone and laptop, just when inserted into redmi note 3, it doesn't detect, nothing happened at all. There's no option to mount or unmount or view it from file explorer or via computer. I tried to clear cache memory too. It all happened suddenly on normal everyday usage, nothing new happened.
I faced Similar problems with sd card. But i have warranty on my xiaomi and i send it to them to check it. And they raplaced mainboard. Problem doesnt appear since that data.
Make SD card Detectable
If your SD card becomes undetected then do not worry, even after trying several solutions, your SD card is not able to read then try some other fixes. Some fixes that you can try to make SD card readable on android phone are to check android phone’s compatibility, clean the SD card gently, update SD card driver, try CHKDSK command prompt, format SD card into NTFS/FAT32/exFAT and more. You can go through to get the steps to fix this error using these solutions:
