Strange sd card problem? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
Recently I'm having a strange problem with my sd card
I noticed that even when I was deleting files, they used to come back so I decided to format my sd card
If I mount it as usb storage from the computer, the format works but as soon as I reboot, all the files reappear and the card is formatted back to exfat.
If I use the adapter it tells me that the storage is write protected
Please please someone help me
Thanks in advance
If this is helpful:- I recently updated my phone from XXUGMJ9 to XXUGMK6

Download the sd format tool and wipe the card again, if still the same then throw it away.

There is no other answer than @boomboomer said . Does this problem occur with other SD card too? Have you checked other SD cards too?

Can someone suggest some other solution?
Please help guys

Return the card to the seller their is no other solution .

help
same problem exists fr one of my frds
Try dialing *#*#7378423#*#*, go to Service tests>External Memory (if you are on ICS already - I don't recall GB having this option). It should be able to detect your microSD card as "Inserted/Mounted".
Thank you carlshark
But I`m not on ICS yet...
The update is not released yet for my phone.
I think returning my phone to the store is my best option right now.

maybe the hardware is broken...

WT19i Cant mount any sd card
plsss helpp meee
my wt19i wont mount any sd card i connected the phone on the pc to take some photos and in the moment he did a restart and when start i get a noftitaciton blank sd card i did factory reset hard reset , flash the firmaware but he donte mount the card i took a new card and the new card wont to mount but the old sd card work fine in another phones i dont now what is the problem plsss help meee
and exuse me for my bad english...
i got the same problem here...
anyone knows how to fix it?
my wt19i is on stock GB rom, i rooted it, installed Link2SD, created partition on my sd card, linked some apps to the sd card..
and then i decided to flash my phone to stock ICS.. it succeeded though.. but my phone can't recognize the sd card anymore..
i flashed it again to stock GB, formated the sd card, but it still the same..
I have the xactly same problem. Last night I tried to flash AOS 4.4.x to my WT19i with no good. So I reflashed with last working CM (CM9.1) with 4GB flash inserted. I reflashed, set the phone up for the first time, connected with facebook and installed couple of apps (I have not moved the apps to card - all were in the internal memory). But toady in the morning, I bought a new 8GB sd card and wanted to replace it. And here the problem starts.
When I inserted the card into the phone, it said that the card could be removed. When I look into settings>storage, I see "mount sd card" option. When I click it, it goes grey for a sec and then BOOM, "mount sd card". I tried returning back my old 4GB card, but I still see the "mount sd card" option. Simply, the phone stopped reading any sd card.
Even the recovery cant read the card, which I think is a major issue - I cannoit reflash system, since I cannot access sd acrd in recovery.
Yes, every card I tried IS working - tested on other two phones and three computers.
So I think, is it a hardware issue with the card interface in the phone?

Blank SD card error

my S2 is currently running 4.1.2 and rooted with SiyahKernel S2-v6.0beta6, I have a 64GB Sandisk Micro SD formatted in NTFS and mounted with NTFSSD, I can access all the files on my SD card with file explorer and watch movies store on the SD card with no issues.
However, I still get a notification icon of "Blank SD card error", and when I connect the phone to the computer, only the phone storage is detected.
How can I fix this?

Not sure why this happens. Here are your options:
1) Try to format it to the default which i think is FAT and leave everything else alone
2) Look at the thread for the specific kernel and see if others are having the same problem.
That error appear in google many times.

Most of the Blank SD error has nothing to do with me, those are issue like corrupt SD card etc, mine is about NTFS mounting on rooted S2 running Jelly Bean.
is there anyway to fix this, I can't find a solution
it's seem all I need to do is disable Android's Auto mounting because media scan is draining my battery.
Fixed myself, No thanks to XDA

FW, do you mind me asking how you fixed? I'm having the same issue now on my wife's gsii, and to backup everything she has on her SD card would be quite the pain, so trying not to reformat it. I verified everything's still on the card, and it works fine when in my phone or the desktop. But I keep getting the "blank SD card" error. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Can't mount external sd card

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

[Q] [Solved] Samsung Galaxy S3 External SD Card Issue

First of all I am sorry moderators if this problem has already been posted.. I tried searching for it and found some solutions that didn't work for me..
I have recently bought a new I9300 and I have a Sandisk 32gb External SD card that I would like to use with it. The card is successfully detected by the mobile but I am unable to copy files to the external SD card.. I have tried formatting the card via CWM via computer card reader both in FAT32 and EXFAT format but none of them worked..
16gb is not enough when you want to try different ROMS.. I hope someone has already solved the problem and point me to the right direction.
Thanks in Advance.
Solution:
So after a lot of search I found that many people have this issue regardinh external SD card in Galaxy S3..This is what solved my problem.. may be it would help you too..
I have 32gb Sandisk Card that apparantly seemed out of order because both S3 and laptop were unable to copy files in it.. I was using the sc card jacket that came with the card itself... .
so instead of just returning it to the sales person via mail I personally visit his office to abuse him..
as it is 1hour drive from here..
but when he chekd the card it worked just fine in there.. and I was like "this is not the same card you are using another one"
Anyway the card reader he used was 3.0.. I am sure many people know this but it seemed to work for me.. i bought the same card reader Lexar usb 3.0 card reader and the same card is working just fine.. playing all the files in the cell phone as well..
Still one issue left and that is I cant copy files within the cell phone via root explorer it says "operation failed due to low memory".. I believe I have to remove .nomedia file that is in there if viewed in the explorer but cant delete it may be permission issues.. anyone have any idea?
Let me know of this helped?
