I'm having a problem with my 8GB sandisk card. My Htc Legend keeps giving me a pop up in the notification blind that says SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. I've done some searching on google and notice people are having this problem with their Desires and other various android devices.
However I haven't come across a fix. I noticed one Legend owner had it occur after a restore of data from sd card. I'm having a feeling this happened to me as well since I got the OTA firmware upgrade yesterday. And I'm having the problem with the sd card today and I had the option to save date to sd. Today I unchecked it since I started using another card and I'm afraid of that one getting ruined.
Is there a way to fix my other card as I don't want to just throw away a perfectly fine 8GB card.
I've tried reformating in phone and pc. Have tried it in other phones. PC doesn't read it. Blackberry 8900 will not boot with it inserted and freezes if inserted after boot. myTouch 3G slide gives the same error. And does nothing when formatting.
i had this when i first got my new sd card and the phone basically to get it working i just went into the phone and formatted it via the android os then it mounted fine settings > storage > format (you may have to unmount first if it is still mounted )

I've tried this numerous times and it does not do anything. Does not show the option to unmount.
Hi all,
I guess my problem is very similar. Using an DHD with a 8 GB SD Card...
I did a factory restore including to wipe all data on SD card.
the DHD was rebooting and now I get the message Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. in the notification bar.
is there any App I can restore my SD card? made full backup so ****ting on data just wana bring it back working.
Card gets not mounted... when I hit the message in notification bar it ask me to format card - I did multiple times with no success.
Anyone knows how to restore the card? Hope it's not gone for ever :-(
Thanks for help
same problem here, i guess a new sd card is due
Following I found out regarding the issue"SD card Blank/unsuported filesystem":
Just read my update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11353140
there are 2 ways to fix this (one of them I can confirm restored the filesystem on my SD card)
Kind Regards,

PS.: thanks @ GOOGLE
PS.PS.: maybe a mod can merge the threads as I think this is a general problem with HTC phones

The sd card usually goes to raw format. Raw format supported software can help you extract the files and then you can use the full format option in windows 7, quick format checkbox unchecked.

same problem for me. I tried with factory reset but nothing happened. I tried my HTC with others new sd card but still is the problem. sd card comes corrupted after i put into the place. I format the sd card in the pc and in my nokia and it works well but not in my HTC.
wow i recover my files
hi guys, i had same problem, but then i set this sandisk ultra to my nokia xpress music and there was everything,,, my arc s cant open it anymore but nokia opens... try to reset your sd s to others phone...
Awesome newb video by the way! Made me laugh...
Just rooted and I like it, I don't wanna go back, but I can't get the microsd to pick up...I'll give all the info I can--def newb to root/droid but my background is IT, so hopefully we can figure out how to fix it so I can keep the root and not go back to stock(if that would even repair the problem)
Got a pny 32G microSD, droid incredible 4g lte(Verizon) that I rooted using the unlock script and fakeCID and then loaded Vipers Venom LTE custom rom...somewhere in this process-I think right after unlocking-it quit accessing the sd card...I've looked around and read some things about this 'USB brick' thing, but I don't know if it's applicable to me...here's what it does now:
SD card is in phone, but under 'Storage' Total Space and Available show unavailable, and everything else is greyed. If I try and pull the card the phone gives me the 'sd card unexpectedly removed' error.
Windows XP has no issue reading/writing to this card with a card reader. I've formatted a few times fat32 with xp(which i hate doing)and put it back in the phone, with the phone off, booted, and nothing happens. Oddly, when it first happened, after installing the custom ROM, when I'd do this procedure the phone would see the card on boot, but stay forever on 'preparing sd card/checking for errors' and never complete.
Back on the phone side of things, booting into the 'recovery mode', where you flash and whatever, it can see the card, see it's contents, and I wrote some sort of log to the card(option in the menu), so it can access it...oddly, I could not load my Viper rom from the microsd card, it failed on the file, but put it under some folder on the phone and that's how i ended up flashing the ROM, which I was nervous about doing as everything I saw said put the rom on the external sd card...
If I plug the phone into the XP pc via usb cable, choose use as disk drive, no problem accessing phone data, but 'please insert disk' on the card. Cannot push data when in usb debug mode via adb commands either. Oddly, dunno if this is related, it gives me 2 drives and also a CD ROM drive--tried dialing that##7 number for the option to disable cd rom, but it was already disabled. Dunno if this is related, but throwing it in there.
Tried chkdsk on the sd card with Xp, no errors, no problems. Hell, the card's not two weeks old and I've only had the phone a little over a month. I've done a bit of research the past couple of days and the only thing I haven't tried is the very confusing procedure i've seen for some of these 'usb brick' problems, but is that my problem. I'm hoping if all else fails i can go back to stock, just downloaded the stock rom, but will that even fix it? Gots to have my trailer park boys on my sd card to watch! Thanks for the help guys and gals! Sorry for the long post, but I like to give info--if kernel version or any other data like that is required, I can post it.

i tried to slim down your quote, but from my experience i'd still say the sd-card is somehow busted! i had a similar prob with the SD card in my Dinc4G two weeks ago. i _was_ r/w quite fine even from custom rom and at one point, the card just quit. removing and reinserting just ended in "preparing sd-card" and directly after that "safe for removal" ... wasn't able to access it any more within Viper, recovery (TWRP for me) was still seeing the card fine just like on your end.
putting the SD-card into a Win-laptop it _appeared_ fine and came error-free with scandisk etc ... BUT when i tried to backup all data from it before formatting (had like 10G on my 16G card) there were a couple of files that failed to read and i could NOT recover at all anymore. I formatted the SD-card again after that (full format, not fast/quick!) ... and put most of the files back. it is working again now in my Dinc4G but the card sure has some defect sectors (and usually _tends to die soon_ after such errors appear first!
i'd heavily recommend that you try to source some other micro-sd card first and try if you custom rom can read from it again. if that works fine and you see your SD-card from within the settings menu in the rom. you can be pretty sure that it's really the card.
PS: even brand new mem cards tend to fail at times :cyclops: ... just try to erase all private data on it (means: _fully overwrite_ with other stuff until the card is completelly filled) ... and then try to get a replacement from where you got your (fairly new) SD card from.
hope that helps a bit
i agree with the above post... try a different card. if formatting it doesn't fix it, it's time to try a new card.

Thank you for the help, I resolved this issue, as it is the card, but now I have a different issue, unfortunately...
Ok haven't rooted this phone because I'm happy with stock Android 5(GPe) here.
Was looking at a friends phone HTC One and it has the option to store pictures to the SD card slot
I remember seeing that with 4.4 and later we were supposed to get back the storage capabilities for selecting SD cards.
Can't find this option and the searches I've done keep showing Samsung which I've moved away from(Love this phone).
Auto backup is on so i'm covered there but my internal memory is getting lower and I've got a lot of space left on my 64gb SD card.
So I must be slow because I can't find where I turn this feature on, or do I need to download a custom camera app to get this to work?
Thanks for the help.

On regular Sony Lollipop Rom there is the option to set default storage. If it isn't available on GPe you should at least have the option in settings-storage to transfer data from internal to external.
unfortunately neither one of those options exist in the GPe version.
Looking for ideas since I've got 45gb left on my SD card but just over 1.5 gb on my phone. I thought the save to SD card slot came back in KitKat but I can't seem to move anything to run off the card.
Edit -- Nvm. I just went in and did a factory reset. Pretty sad since I hadnt backed up in about 2 weeks. My loss. My stupiditiy. Learn form our mistakes.
After the factory reset, I can view my SD card again which is pretty nice, so not a total loss.
-------------------------
Alright. A little about my phone. Its a Galaxy s5 with an 8gb micro sd card. The phone is rooted.
Last night I installed Apps2sd. When I first opened the app it mentioned that my SD card was not setup and I would need to run some "sd fix". I accepted, the phone rebooted and then when it came back up, its as if my SD card was blank. Not only blank, but after connecting phone to the PC, both my phone and card show but are empty. The SD card displays as -1376256 bytes free of -1376256 bytes. The phone shows 127mb free of 128mb.
I also made the mistake of uninstalled apps2sd after my phone booted up and I noticed the issue. Wasnt very smart of me as I can not seem to install it or anything back. Most apps including google play just crash when trying to load. When vieiwng files under My Files, basically everything is empty. If I try using FX file manager then most things say I dont have access.
Now when I first turn on phone and I boot into safestrap TWRP, I can go through and view files and I See all my stuff on my SD card and phone. I can even copy files from my SD card and place them in other directories (tried to copy the apps2sd apk onto phone to reinstall) but just cant ever see any of it when the phone is booted.
Also under TWRP, If I go to backup or anything for example, It lists Micro SD as 2132mb and Internal Storage as 3436mb. So im guessing apps2sd created a partition of some sort?
What have I done? What did my stupid ass do and is there any way to fix it?
tl;dr: Installed apps2sd, clicked things I shouldnt click. Cant view any files on phone or when connected to USB but can see everything under TWRP.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

u should try finding from root/data/media
I have a 16gb Samsung Galaxy s5, that is rooted and its external SD card used to work just fine its internal storage also displayed just fine on pc. However when I booted up link2sd on teh phone and tried to link or bind stuff (i was restored my files and data from an old 4.4.2 lg volt phone to my galaxy s5 6.0.1 phone) and all my apps and data restored just fine via titanium backup. apparently though link2sd rusn differently on an s5 using mashmallow than it dos on a lg volt using kitkat as when I booted it up and rie dto rebind/relink all my apps back to sd on the s5.
It got a message saying something like (i dont remember the error well) "this device doesnt support sdext and needs sdefs, would you like to change it. This can be changed back at any time in the slider" So I figured. Ok even if it dosnt work I can change it back with the slider so I hit yes to change. Yet nothings binded or linked and when I tried to go back and relink all apps manually its saying sd card not found or mounted. Im thinking umm this card was JUST used to restore a titanium backup so why isnt i found?
So I plug the phone into my pc and sure enough not only do I not see an external storage I also notice I cant access the phones internal storage (well i can but its nothing it it) and the pc shows it as 127 mb free of 128 mb... im thinking 128mb? Umm it should say 16gb. So i chdck the storage on the phone itself and it says sd card is unmounted (titanium backup says the same thing when before link2sd titanium accessed my sd card just fine). But the internal storage on the phone reads as 9.82 Gb used of 14-16gb (close to it) which is correct so Im like why doesnt the pc read it as such? I used to just fine before I did what I did on link2sd.
Lastly i took the sd card out of the phone and put in a different sd card and it shows it as unmounted too. so got the first sd card that I previously took out of the phone plugged it into my pc and my pc reads it just fine along with all my backups and what not so i know the sd card isnt damaged. Sooo how do i change whatever i changed on link2sd to get my phone to recognize my sd card correctly again and get my pc to recognize the external storage when its plugged into the phone and recognize the internal storage of the phone as the right size again?
update.
Ok Im having a HUGE problem. My phone worked fine at first, then I rooted it and used titanium backup to restore all my apps from my old phone (an lg volt) to my current phone an S5... everything was fine. My phone recognized my SD card, when I plugged the phone into my PC it would show my correct phone internal storage as well as my sd card storage. Then I ran link2sd to relink all my data to my sd card... even though i didnt need to because unlike my old phone which was 8gb the s5 was 16gb and had more than enough space to run my apps without the link2sd. If I had left that alone we wouldnt be where we are now. However I didnt so here we are.
Link2sd had message saying something like "this device doesnt support /sdext and has to be changed to sdefs (i know im getting the message way wrong but it was something like that) these settings can be changed via slider". So I clicked yes to let it do what it had to do. after all if I didnt like the results I could always change back via the slider right? link2sd required a reboot after the changes were made and now when it boots after the samsung and sprint logos and before the lock screen Im staring at a black screen that shows the time and "no connection" for about 30 secs before the lock screen shows up (this didnt happen before link2sd made whatever changes it made) and the "process system not responding" message shows up. Though the only adverse affects Ive sen from that so far is when I open Gallery it stops and closes automatically so I cant even use it.
However I couldnt find said slider and now when I hooked my phone to PC it shows no external storage and reads my internal as 127MB free of 128mb (yes that right... 128 mb.. on a phone thats supposed to be 16gb). When i go to storage on the phone itself It said sdcard unmounted (as if theres not one there) and my internal storage shows 9gb used of 14gb so the PHONE knows how much gb I should have but my pc doesnt. Also if i take the sdcard out of the phone and plug it into my pc directly everything shows up on it just as it should so i know the sd card isnt broken.
So I found solutions like reboot phone in recovery and have it wipe cache. I did that.... didnt work. Then I tried unrooting the phone and factory data reset (from the phone settings not from the recovery boot). Despite doing a factory rest which SHOULD fix ANYTHING wrong with the phone, delete all apps and make it run just as it did when you got it. That black screen between logos on lock screen still pops up and I get the "process system not responding" message still appears. Now my PC doesnt see my phone at all when Its plugged in.
So I tried booting in safe mode to see if that message still comes up and the answer is yes but now my pc sees my phone (no sd card in it but I doubt it will see it if it was) however it still displays the storage as 127mb of 128mb
So link2sd started this whole problem and factory reset wont even solve it. Ive provided plenty of details. Can this be fixed or if my phone pretty much done now (i can still use it for texts and calls but, its useless hooked to a pc, doesnt recognize external storage anymore and I cant use the gallery sooooo yea. I hope someone has a solution.
You can't partition 64GB up sdcards.
Use Sandisk Sdcards
Never use Kingstom
Your phone supports ext2 if you install ext tool on.
I HATE SAMSUNG and all that is ext4 devices.
Try find yaffs2 devices.

I partitioned my 128gb card just fine
its a samsung card.
Even if I unpartitioned the card that isnt gonna make the phone read it and do what its supposed to do again so. Im gonna need a reply that helps or at least attempts to help the actual MAJOR problems Im having with the phone right now thank you.
Just explained, none of pc types will repartition again your sdcard, this what i said upon, (don't create 64GB up partitions becausr you ca'nt), at least any mobile too. Recuse usage of 64Gb up sdcards
This is a tip, that i learned, samsung is venom, they have the solution for recover your sdcard 128g because they done this, go ask them
Remember:
Never use 64GB up sdcards. Is a sane tip...

and again the sd card is the least of my worries how about the problems I listed like my 16gb phone showing up as 128mb on my pc,. not being able to look at the internal storage files/folders on my pc, the "system process not responding" message that come up, even in safe mode and still hasnt went away after a factory reset as such none of my apps (like google maps, internet or even gallery are working, only thing I can do with this phone now is call and text. How about you try focusing on THOSE issues please. Thank you.
Well in case anyone was wondering I solved the problem, reflashing the stock rom then rerooting fixed everything.. I just know not to use link2sd on this phone again
Having the same problem here... how to fix?
I fixed it
Link2sd creates a backup during the process
Just delete the
System/sdcard.bin or (system/sdcard)
And rename the backup named
sdcard.original.pre-link2sd
To
Sdcard.bin
Reboot phone and #Enjoy
This took me 3 days 2 figure out??

UPDATE!!
Got it! My backup files were in /system/bin
but there were two files (sdcard and sdcard.bin). I deleted the sdcard.bin and renamed the sdcard.original.pre-link2d to sdcard.bin.
