Let me start out by saying that I have searched for any threads that have covered this, and have come up empty.
This has happened twice to me in the last two months. Running task650's V.9, which is an awesome ROM. I've got a Lexar Class 10 32gb card. Twice in two months have I booted up and the media scanner would show a broken sd card notice. I tried booting the phone without the card, and then re-installed the card. Same notice of bad sd card on boot.
At this point I took the card and stuck it in a laptop, which generated a "can not open due to corrupt or unreadable file" and "reformat drive" or something like that. I was forced to format, losing photos, vids, and TiBu folder. I synced to Dropbox and got the backup folder re-installed.
Any ideas about what could have corrupted the card? I suppose the card could be damaged. I paid good bucks, as it is not a low end card. Replace the card? Any guidance would be appreciated.
I have a Lexar Class 10 32GB card. Same issue, after first time reformatted and same thing happened a week or two later.
I did an RMA with Lexar, think there is a 1 year warranty. Got a new card, been working fine the past several months.
Ok. Thanks for the input. I've got a Kingston Class 10 on the way.
I was hoping it wasn't in the phone hardware.
Thanks, I just reminded myself to do a backup of that card itself to my PC.
Sorry to hear about your problem though.

Yeah, I lost some New Years day photos and vids with my wife. I'll NEVER find her in that good of a mood again!
It makes me wonder about my decision to place my TiBu folder on the external card, along with Nandroid backups. True, it syncs to Drop Box for TiBu but do I need the extra headache of wondering if my card is going to get smoked again? I suppose I should be backing it all up to pc..
I'm not sure but it seems to be a problem with the phone and class 10 cards.
My first one was a 16gb class 10 micro sd that one day just decided to stop working (lasted a month or so). Couldn't access it via the phone or PC.
So I went out and got a 32gb class 10 and after a month or so again it stopped working
Knowing this I refused to buy a class 10 card again. I went to Walmart and got the cheapest 32gb micro sd (Sandisk class 4) and so far so good. no problems at all
Lost everything I had too on the first 2 cards so learned the hard way to do backups to my PC.
Not the class, it's probably the brand. Some brands have terrible quality control, especially if you go for a cheaper one. I have one from Amazon Basic and it works just fine. My brother uses one from SanDisk with zero problem.
Class 10 is also newer. The technology to manufacture these is not that old. I suspect some manufacturers still need to refine their process.

Posted this on similar thread here, but want to make sure people know it's a problem:
Got a similar problem here.
Transcend Class 10 32GB Card
Works in PC, HTC Desire - no probs.
Put in Galaxy S2, it starts Media Scanning, a few seconds later reports SD Card Damaged, requires formatting.
It's right - take it back out (again, umpteenth time!), put it in PC or HTC - card is "damaged". (Nothing permanent, can reformat.)
Samsung support claim to not know anything - mind you they "play dumb" about the camera "pink spot" issue, until you challenge them to get real...
Oh, dear!

Buy a 500gb external hard drive for like 50 bucks they're cheap now. Backup everything to it once a week. Never lose data. Profit.

Sounds like a brand issue, but have you ever tried checking the drive for errors?
Given that even your PC gives you a "damaged" message, it may not work. Once inserted, go to "My Computer," get to properties, and check for errors (enable the "automatically fix file system errors" option). In the past, this has corrected "corrupted" SD cards for me.

The only corruptions I have experienced on this phone were when using MTP to transfer files from the PC. Since I stopped using MTP and use only USB Storage mounting, I have not had any more problems.
I've actually experienced this twice. Both times flashing to AOKP. I'm not blaming AOKP but just saying. The first time even my PC wouldn't read it and it needed to be reformatted. The second time my pc could read it and after nandroiding back to shostock2 it was fine.

Hi guys
I know about the SanDisk Micro-SD card problem with Samsung Galaxy S3's and I happen to be one of the victims.
My SanDisk Micro-SD 32gb Ultra has had problems in the past. It sometimes says blank sd card but it eventually works again. At one point it said sd card damaged but the card still worked. Up until yesterday it hasn't stopped working for a while but now my phone says blank sd card. I tried putting it into a windows computer but it cannot be detected. When using a usb adapter it just shows a device in drive "?:" and can't do anything with it and when using a micro sd to sd card reader it doesn't show at all. In Mac the micro sd to sd card reader is detectable and shows the size of 32.1 MB and is called "Apple SDXC Reader Media". The micro sd card itself is not detectable it seems. I have tried many device recovery software but none of them work. They all seem to just be scanning the card reader and not the micro sd itself.
Does anyone know how I can recover the Micro-SD card?
It is quite important because I have my school laptop data backed up on it (which was just handed in for a system upgrade and being wiped) and also my phone pictures, videos and other stuff.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

It may be recoverable by a specialist company, But i believe the going rate is approx £900. My first step would be to try sticking it in the freezer for at least 8 hours (but as long as you can manage the longer the better) then try it in your phone, if this works back up all the data and RMA the card to SanDisk. Let this be a lesson to us all that all data on our cards should be backed up regularly, I understand you werent expecting the card to fail but had you lost your phone the result would have been the same.
I doubt you will be able to recovery the data, formatting the card with the sd formatting tool might make the card useable again but I doubt it. When I've had cards corrupt more than once it is best to throw them away and get a different make.
You can try looking for a specialist data recovery expert, locally or on the web - if the data is very valuable to you.

First of all I don't have £900 to throw around, besides the fact it totally isn't worth £900 to get it fixed.
Second, before I start chucking my SD card in the freezer what exactly does freezing it do and how will it help it? You sure it won't just destroy it for good? I can leave it in the freezer for as long as needed as I can't exactly use the card in the mean time.
Thanks for the reply though
Hope I can get it to work
Freezing is a method that may give a brief recovery on some hard disc failures .
Note hard disc never heard of freezing ram or why it could work .

Not a lot.Contact retailer, or SanDisk direct for a replacement card and chalk it down to experience.
This is a known issue with sandisk at the moment. They are replacing cards when they die.
As for data, please look into foldersync for future. Sync data to cloud or computer

Ok then I'll just have to get it replaced.
A thought just occurred to me though.
Before I had my school laptop backed up on my micro-sd card I had it backed up on a usb. Because it was only an 8gb usb I transfered it to my micro sd because it took up too much space. I've heard of software that can recover deleted files from devices. Would it be possible to recover the deleted backup on my usb? The backup in total would have been about 1 - 2gb. If so, what free program could I use to recover it?
Thanks in advance
Possibly. As an IT support engineer, I don't want to get your hopes up though.
Things like NTFS get back may work but most if them are not free.
I took Handy recovery 1 (free version) from a bootable cd tool once, you could try that and may recover a small amount of data but its always safest to assume it gone.
The more you use the usb device, the less chance you have of recovery

If nothing works then I may take it to my school IT guys (when school starts again, currently holidays)
Think they would have something to fix the card or recover the data?
It depends on the state.
The media has a File System. This could be FAT32, NTFS, exFAT etc. Essentially (without going technical) imagine these file systems as a database table. When you add a file to the media, an entry is written to the table to identify the exact location of the file on the media. That way, when an operating system views the card and the user accesses a file, the table tells the OS where to look for the file.
Typically with these file systems, when you delete the file, the file remains. Only the Table entry is removed. The OS can no longer locate the file. the OS is shown the free space as per what the table says - not what is really the truth.
So once a file is deleted, 3rd party applications can scan the media and find the files (without using the table).
Of course there is a problem in that any space that the table shows as unallocated (you deleted the file), new files will overwrite the old files. That is when the data becomes unrecoverable.
So yes, it's possible that even if the formatted filesystem is damaged, the data on the media can be recovered. But if you added new files since, then the chances are the unreferenced data has been actually overwritten. In this case, it is gone.

What file system are you taking about here? The damaged file system (micro-sd card) can't have new files added to it as it is inaccessible. It also has not been formatted since the problem. The usb with the deleted files is not damaged and not formatted but I have put new files on it since. Sounds like you're combining the two different devices. Sorry if this is a bit confusing.

Card is dead for sure. maybe you get unorginal item, I got this problem with my Xperia Z too, card died after few days, now I am using Toshiba Exceria for 9 months and everything is ok..
My Sandisk Ultra 16GB (calss 10) is causing me some problems too. It used to work ok in my Galaxy S2 but now it mounts and unmounts without any pattern.
Maybe it's a phone problem then. Done some searching and apparently there was some kind of problem like this on previous Sony devices

I'm not sure yet if it's a phone problem or a card one. I swapped the SanDisk with a low end 2 GB card (the only one I had available) and for now it seems the problem stopped. So I think it's the card but I'll keep watching.
PS: Yesterday I was in a trail running race and I recorded a few videos and taken some pictures. I had my SanDisk inside and camera was set on "save on SD". 3 or 4 times the recording stopped because the card was unmounted/mounted again. I changed the settings to "internal" and the problem stopped.
L.E. In my case, the card seems to be problem. Since swapping it with the low end one I had no more problems.
When i insert 64gb sandisk card then a message appeared 'UI system has been stoped' when i eject the card then system become normal
I bought a SanDisk Ultra 32gb microsd card to use it with my Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 several months ago, I've been using it with no hassle for a while now. Few days ago, my device stopped recognising the card, as if it didn't even exist. So what I did was insert the microsd into my laptop using an adapter, and I could see all the files intact and safe. The problem is, I cannot copy the files off the card, it's like it keeps disconnecting every about 10secs, once a copy or move operation starts, it goes about 10% and then stops, forcing me to cancel the operation, and sometimes it doesn't even start. The files are there, i can view them, i just cannot copy them. I want to copy the files off in order to format the microsd card to be able to use it again.
Another major problem is, files and complete folders are disappearing! I lost my photos folder and all my music folder (luckily i have a backup of those).
I have read somewhere that SanDisk manufactured faulty 32gb cards, and i get to return it and get a replacement, but i bought it from Amazon and i shipped internationally, it will be very cost inefficient to return it. Any suggestions?

Well, I am not really sure about flash deives but if a hdd shows a behaviour like this, most of the time one or more sectors are corrupted and need to be remapped. You could try chkdsk on your card.

similar issue
Hi,
am facing similar problem on my SD card, i have been using this card as ext2 and fat32 dual partition mode and now suddenly the files from fat32 partitions are getting deleted, tried chkdsk and it did repair some bad sector but i am still facing the issue.
any suggestions or should i just replace my sd card.
thanks in advance.
This might be a bit late but I'm just posting so that others having the same problem can benefit from this.
After the described problem above happened, I gave up on retrieving the files on the card after many many failed attempts in various ways (copying individual files, backing up the card, used some 3rd party apps) but nothing seemed to work.
So I went ahead and formatted the card to FAT32 using my laptop, copied a few songs to it and it seemed to work well. Few hours later, the same problem happens. I tried using the exFAT format, did the same with different songs (to rule out the songs themselves being corrupted), but still had the same problem few hours later. My last trial was formatting it to FAT32 but using my galaxy S4 this time, and with no surprise, the same problem persisted. At that stage I gave up on the card.
I contacted SanDisk support using the live chat feature on their website, before I told him my problem, I asked him to check if my card has the new firmware or not (they manufactured some faulty cards and blamed it on the old firmware they used). He told me it did have the new firmware, and then I realized that my card was corrupted beyond repair. He asked me for some information to ask for a replacement. I didn't replace it because shipping it back would cost a lot, but id you're living in the states then just replace it.
On another note, I am not going to buy another SanDisk card, I will be trying samsung cards as they seem to have very good reviews.

Hi,
After much deliberation I finally bought a Z2 (sim free; UK). And am extremely pleased with it
Until I've realised much to my irritation several of the photographs on the phone have become corrupt. Symptom is a gray bar on the photograph and the applications fail to load it.
Note the camera takes the photo fine - luckily on one of them, dropbox managed to mirror the photo before it became corrupt (and for another I sent it via MMS). Which means its not the camera. I have only accessed them via the default Album app and have not installed much software on the phone.
I have tried asking Sony support and they suggested doing a factory reset
Note I am using a SD card and asking for the photos to be stored there. The card is mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDXC/Lexar/Lexar-64GB-High-Performance-Micro-SDXC-UHS-I-Card-300x---45MB_s
Any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated. I was not keen on doing a full reset .... loosing my entire setup to replace the software with the same software (?!) .... I have only had the phone a few weeks.
Thanks!
Nick
I think a factory reset may do the job, but try via Flashtool or the repair device in Sony PC companion (both of these will wipe your internal storage)
And if it still persists , backup your data on your internal and Sd and format both within the phone

Sometimes transfering files to a device can corrupt in your process, even factory resetting
The ratio to it corrupting to not is negative so your better off factory resetting in such a situation
And for backing up i usualy just copy all of my files to a usb or a computer

I am sorry but I don't quite follow your comments regarding 'transfer/ratio'.
Surely, any software update should do a MD5 style verification check? The awkward thing is establishing whether its software or hardware (more likely the former) and which component might be causing it e.g. album app. Which I notice has just had an update released by sony....

Well, after a taking quite a few more photographs and movies suddenly one more has become corrupt Very strange how sporadic it is.
When I last checked I am not seeing the update for the latest firmware (17.1.2.A.0.314?) .... maybe that would help solve it.
I will also try to RMA the Lexar memory card and format the new one in the camera.
SD Card problem....
......have had something like this many times before with SD Cards; not just with phones but cameras as well.
I noticed that quality of SD Cards has decreased over the last year; especially Micro SD Cards.
Also the fact that Google officially had removed support for SD Cards doesn't help that matter at all.
However check this write up here:

And always make sure that if you take photos you really want to keep to back them up on dropbox

Ok as a follow up which I hope might be helpful / of interest.
In the end I hard reset the phone and replaced the SD Card with an RMA from Lexar.
For a while (until last week) it was all working fine - no corruption (phew) and I had only lost a couple of photographs previously as Dropbox managed to sync most of them in time. So, last week, the Z2 started reporting the card was damaged and started unmounting the card. I tried the card in a Windows machine (and managed to recover the data) but then it refused to mount in my Z2, my wife's Galaxy S3, my Linux laptop and finally my Windows box could no longer read it. One dead card I presume.
After that I have gone with a Sandisk Extreme and I hope that to be more reliable than Lexar
I'm gonna dig this out since I've also been having this issue on my Z2 lately, and I also have the Lexar memory card (32G). How is your Sandisk? Is it working correctly? I've gone to the shop, exchanged my corrupt card for a new one. And just today, poof, one of my photos is now corrupt. On the new card...
Did it stop happening with the other brand?
