Hi folks,
I got this 16G sdcard that from one day to another it stopped being recognized saying "blank card or has unsupported file system"
Besides the data, I had some applications installed on it.
I did tried to recover with a software, but even the software only can recognize space is occupied, but can't see it.
Anyone have any possible tip to share?
Thanks
You can try GetDataBack application
Once I accidentally deleted many fotos from my camera sd card.
To recover it i used GetDataBack windows application. With the free version you can search your sd card and see what files it can find. It found all my photos at the time.
But at the moment you press the recover button, it requires you to buy it for 80 dollars :'(
I suggest you to download the GetDataBack FAT version and see if it can find your files.
If it works, then you have to decide if you'll buy it or not. After recovering the files, the file names were all wrong. But at least i got to save my pictures
Hope this helps you.

On Unix/GNU/Linux or whatever you call it, you can press CTRL+H to show hidden files, then there usually appears .recovery or .lost or similar where the deleted files are stored.
If not try this search for a lost data recovery Android app:
google. de/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=recover+deleted+data+android+app&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=xVA-UuWtBom10wWjrIHQBA
Or use one of these Open Source programs:
cgsecurity. org/wiki/PhotoRec
kickassundelete.sourceforge. net
zdnet. com/blog/digitalcameras/how-to-recover-deleted-photos-from-your-sd-card/1102

I bet you it's a Kingston. But you should tell us what it is and what devices you've been using it on, when it failed??
See this: SD Corruption in Xperia Z
The tool to use for recovery, if at all possible, is ZAR 9.2.

Try SD Card Recovery
Recuva!
Recuva is a great option. I've never used it to recover data from an SD card, but I HAVE used it successfully to recover date from my Windows machine when the hard drive crashed and all my data was deleted, and it has the ability to recover SD cards. This product, unlike some of those already suggested that are only free to download and analyze your system, is TOTALLY free.

Please delete the space in the above links to follow. I'm too new on XDA to post links yet apparently!
Hope this helps!
I think you should try better recovery software like Remo Recover. It may help you to recover your data from SD card if it is not overwritten.
You can easily rescue your SD card data by employing a good SD card recovery utility. One good data recovery tool is there, have a look over it- http://youtu.be/AgRgEvF4HFM
Recuva works great on SD cards as well. I second using this.
I recommend using it over EASEUS Data Recovery. With Recuva it can restore original file name and path and tells you if the file has is in good condition to restore or has been overwritten by other data.

This is a serious problem. I think when you have lost some data from the SD card the only solution is to go to the manufacturer or to the shop where you bought it and ask for repair. There is way to repair the data as I know but you need to be very experienced, so you have to get support.
Have you lost your data from SD card? Do need to worry there is a tool which is known as Remo Recover which can easily assist you to get back data from your SD card.
I will try it. Sandisk provider ingram is not replacing my sd card. Unfortunately i bought it from snapdeal. I didnt got an invoice. Ingram is asking invoice for the replacement. I have the cover and sd card

Hi all
I have a Fujitsu ARROWS X F-05D, which running Android 2.3.5. It has 4GB internal storage and supports microSD card.
I tried to format the phone’s internal storage through Windows 7, the operation was failed during the formatting process. After that, I cannot access either the phone’s internal storage or micorSD card. Both of them show “Unavailable” under Settings Storage [Built-in storage] and [SD card]. The [Delete data in built-in storage], [Mount SD card] and [Erase SD card] were dimmed. I had performed a phone hard reset but the problem persists.
If I connect the phone with PC, windows can recognize there has USB mass storage attached and assigns two drive letters accordingly. However, if I want to access either of them, windows will ask to insert a storage media. In addition, the phone will not prompt to ask user to confirm connect the phone as a USB mass storage.
Without external storage, most apps cannot be functioned normally or simply can’t install at all. Could anyone please kindly advise how to fix it?

Boy

Also reflashing the rom with a stock is not an option, as it requires the internal memory to do so.

I did solve the problem at last but unfortunately forget how to fix it since my handset was damaged by water linkage after a very short period.
I only remember the problem lies on the corruption of partition table. I replaced a file (sorry, forget what file again!) through adb. After reboot, the system prompts me something wrong in the partition table and asks me to format internal storage, after that. The device resumes normal.

Also resurrecting an old thread lol. So should i pull the internal sd card using adb and push it back after deleting it? Or would that be crazy.
Hello ,so i have samsung galaxy s2 with miui jb rom..
i connected an pendrive through usb otg cable but when mounted it shows it is corrupted and need to be formatted.
so i confirmed this operation and it starts to format..
after format
VOILLA MY INTERNAL SD CARD GOT FORMATTED INSTEAD OF USB ONE WHICH I HAVE MOUNTED THROUGH USB OTG CABLE..
I have no backup and i have lost all my data on internal sd storage... photos, music,videos, other data such as text documents , pdf documents , tar files of recovery etc.
its very very sad for me as i have collection of all memories as photos and videos...
I'm very tensed..
please help me to recover back all my data ..
after format there is no data stored on internal storage means no over write of any data so i have that my data can be backuped up..
i've tried couple of softwares to backup my data but one of softwares called "photorec" is able to recover only 2.5GB and also in random named folders with random data...
everything is finished..
please... it will be great of you to solve my this problem..
is there any way to UNDO this operation?? I mean can we UNFORMATthe internal storage ???
really need your advices and solutions
thanks..
Yes solution is simple.
Go back in time.
Backup data like any sane person would have done.
If your files were that important why didnt you do simple things like make backups to your PC or even just via dropbox app that automatically uploads photo's via wifi?
Try a partition recovery software.
If you cant fix I have no sympathy since its easy to make backups of needed data. No excuse really.

I did give you expert advice. I am an expert in backing up my data in case of device problem or if I somehow decide to format my card.
As I said earlier try a partition recovery software.
Expert Advice:
Follow XDA rule #1 and use search. We have many topics about users formatting cards and then needing to recover data. This is a non-device specific topic so search whole site or even google.
Well you coud try Testdisk and Photorec
the site is cgsecurity
Or option 2 try recuva with deep scan enabled, also the option to scan for lost or damaged files should be turned on.

- Connect your phone trough USB cable and activate mass storage mode
- Depending on what files are lost (probably photos and videos), look for format recover software (Like recovery my files)
- Use it on mounted SD card
PS:
If you have used some part of your internal sd card after formatting, you probably lost some files forever, if you haven't yet, DON'T USE IT BEFORE RECOVERY !!

Give some app suggestions is fine. Once we have those, we know the key terms to search for.
I've tried cg-security apps, they're made for Windows/Linux/BSD etc, but won't install on android.
I tried aidfile installed on Windows but it won't detect the phone internal storage either.
I have all my photos.
I lost a database document that is 760mb. Most backupsoftware (Skydrive, Asus Webstorage, DropBox etc) won't upload it.
I sent the phone for warranty and they formatted my phone, and lost that document. I just need that back. It is in internal storage, there is no sd card on this android.
Try Recuva but don't get your hopes up. Not likely to work. If they've formatted the phone, it's gone. Android isn't like Windoze where 'files aren't really deleted'.
Edit - Also, beware of some (all ?) of the 'data recovery' apps on Google Play. Many (certainly the several I've tried) of the non-paid versions will go through their process of checking, and tell you that your file can be recovered, but you need to get the paid version of the app. You pay for the app, and then find they tell you the file recovers OK (funny about that, right ?) but is 'corrupted' (which is basically bull****, the file can't be recovered at all, but you paid for the app so they have to give you something, right ?) & useless. This scenario is highly likely in the case of a file like the one you're talking about if you do get suckered in by those apps.

You can't undo the formatted, but the data was not really gone, you still can use some data recovery tool to recover your photos.

I recommend you backup your photos with Google Photos, it has 15GB free storage, I think it's enough for your 1 year's photos.

I*accidentally selected "clear data" in the media storage app on my samsung note, i thought i was just deleting the cache because it said it was only 10mb, but when I try to open the external sd it says its empty, and it wont even detect it on my computer.*is there a way of retrieving everything i had on there? i have much more than 10mb, probably at least 3-4 gigs. please help! thanks
Ouch sorry to hear you hit the wrong button. Right below "clear data" is "clear cache". I can't believe you missed it! Anyways I'm afraid to say your data is more than likely gone.
You can use DiskDigger to recover photos and video from your SD card.
Hope you are able to recover some of your stuff.
Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion but isn't that app for rooted devices? Mine isn't
..either way, I've tried a few apps to recover some stuff but the problem is that my sd card won't even be detected...
I have a pretty good feeling your data is still there. I've cleared the media storage app's data before as part of a troubleshooting process for Rocket Player, and I've never lost any of my data. First thing I'd try to do is get your SD card recognized again. If your SD card is not accessible from your phone, take the card out and stick it in your PC. Hopefully your PC can see it. I wonder if PC based undelete programs work on SD cards. No harm in trying I suppose.
Sent from my Samsung SGH-I717 (Galaxy Note)
Yeah the app in the Play Store is for rooted devices.
They do have a PC version but I've never used it before.
I did take a peek at their FAQ and it seems it's free to use, but will nag you to buy it.

that's the main thing i'm trying now is to try to get my sd card detected on my pc, but no luck. I even tested a spare one of i have, and it works fine in my phone and my pc, so weird. has anyone had this happen to them?
Google an app for your PC called testdisk. Sounds like you may have lost the cards partition. If so, testdisk can help find it and rewrite it. If that is what happened, things will reappear after that. From the same site as Testdisk is a flash drive file recovery tool called photorec. These are open source tools, so they require some study on your part to use. Documentation is on the site.

thanks for the info... tried it but no luck, when I get to the point where I need to select a hard drive where the partition might be lost, the sd card is not listed.
Be sure the disk is showing in the PC. In Windows, an unpartitioned disk will not show in Computer as it has no file system to read. But it should show in Disk Management.
You might have to use a laptop or something where a card reader is built in.
There are many combinations of hardware you might be using.
You might have to use Linux, such as a bootable clonezilla or Gparted rescue disk (google) to run your PC to do this. Both have testdisk built in.
well that's the problem, it wont show in the PC...
I am using a PC where the card reader is built in, and I tested another card to make sure it works ok.

Well if the card is mechanically/electrically OK, it will show up in (windows) disk management, but possibly with all of the space "unallocated". Testdisk could maybe recover from that. If it is not there, then it seems to be broken, but a software program couldn't have done that to it.
Hi,
I was browsing through recovery looking for the option to copy files into the sd card while in recovery, just so i didn't have to remove. Well, for some stupid mistake ( i still can't figure out why i even confirmed the option), i pressed the format sd card and when i realized it a second later i removed the card right away.
I don't think it really had time to delete anything or much, but when i inserted the card in my computer it said that the card should be formatted to be used and the same thing appeared on the phone, so im guessing some crucial file that allows me to use the card was deleted.
So, did i just lose all my data? Is there a way to recover the card files?
Thanks in advance!

Removing it while erasing might have had corrupted the data, too. Unless there's some magic software which can check for deleted files on these types of SD cards.
you can recover your deleted data by downloading "diskdigger" from google play in my opinion it's the best app for this issue.. another app is "undeleted for root users"... you can recover photos, videos, and some texts.....
If this reply helped you don't miss to press thanks Buttom to know ?

Keep in mind these might not work as the phone cannot access the card or file system of it, this is why it appears as an unformated card and the phone or computer cannot do anything with it besides reformatting

Hi
Thank you all for the replies.
I ended up using a recovery software to retrieve the files, since they were all still there because i stopped the formating process right away.
So, recovered the files, formated the card and put the files back.
I was hoping i could just restore the filesystem and those files, but that was the only solution i got at the time.
Thank you all for the help and suggestion!
Recovery of accidentally formatted SD card is possible in couple of minutes. By means of Remo Recover tool, you can get back files lost from SD, CF, MMC and XD cards.

Sorry if this is the wrong section.
Yesterday i moved my SD Card Akyta 16GB from my old 4.4.2 tablet to a 6.0 phone.
The phone requested the SD Card to be formatted, so i did it because i had no choice, now i found out that all of my photos, videos and music were on the SD Card instead of the old tablet, so i lost everything :/
I know that there's a plenty of Recovery Software, but the majority requires a Card Reader, and I don't have one.
Do you guys know any Software for recovering media which support "Portable Device" mode and don't require a Card Reader? I tried with Remo Recover but after one try the program itself won't launch, i reinstalled it many times (I have Windows 7 x86 Ultimate)
I am waiting for your suggestions, i repeat, programs that don't need Card Readers. I tried every Playstore recovery software and they only show photos that are on the phone right now (undeleted photos, unharmed).
PS: My phone is rooted with SuperSU 2.79.
Salam Alaykum.
Best option is
Buy or borrow a card reader and restore on PC.
Be careful apps / software do not write on sd card because they will make recovery files that you formatted more difficult / impossible.
I can read and I know this is not the answer you r waiting for but believe me it is your best option.
On pc use Recuva from Piriform. Or Get data Back Simple Data Recovery from Runtime Software LLC.
If you do use any app on phone or tablet please try pc method with card reader after all also if the app on phone or tablet did not recover all files.
In that way you have more chance all files recovered.
I still think pc method is the best option but I'd if you will try any app if it exist on android.
I would be very careful before letting app recover files instead of a pc program!!
Goodluck and let u know if u got ur data back and how you got it back. ! :good:
