HELP! external sd card cannot read after bad encryption/decryption - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

first of all, I try to encrypt my sd card and it takes hours only showing "Preparing SD card; Checking for errors", so I reboot it and start decryption, also wait for hours and also only showing "Preparing SD card; Checking for errors"
then I put my sd card into a computer and repair for few seconds, my files are back
but the problem is my phone cannot read my sd card now, it will stuck on "Preparing SD card; Checking for errors" and when I go to the sd card encryption page in setting it sill let me to "continue decrypt“ my sd card
I've try to format my card (even rebuilt the partition table in linux) and have no luck, I guess the problem is my phone still think my card is "encrypted", so anyone know how to solve this?
------update-----
I successfully mount my sd card by terminal (mount command) and can access the content in the terminal, but in file explorer that folder I mount on is still blank... what is going on

[Q] SD Card problems!!!!!

Heyy All,
I have a couple of questions.. I wanted to partition my SD card so that apps2sd would work. Here are the steps i took:
Did a nandroid backup
I copied all information from SD card to my computer
rebooted phone into recovery
chose partition SD card when finished upgraded ext2 to ext3
copied and pasted all files back onto the SD card
nandroid restored
in recovery I am able to access all files on the SD card but when i reboot my phone an icon comes up in the notification bar that looks like a SD card with an exclamation point with the error "Blank SD card or unsupported file system"
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? or why my files are no longer on the SD card when I reboot my phone?
Thank you all very much!
You shouldn't have posted this in two different places. See my answer in the other thread.

damaged internal storage

I've been having trouble with the sd card in my new RAZR. Just this morning I noticed that I had a new notification "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem."
If I clicked the notification it gave me the option to format but it would never format the card. I was still able to mount the drive to my pc so I made a backup of all the files on the card to my computer.
I did quite a bit of searching on the forum and eventually came across a post that said to try formatting the card with this utility:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
After I did a quick format with SD Formatter 3.1 I then noticed a new notification "Damaged internal storage - Storage damaged. You may have to reformat it."
Now I'm still able to mount the sd card on my pc via the phone but windows doesn't recognize any disk in the drive. I get this error "There is no disk in drive X. Insert a disk, and then try again."
Has anyone had this issue? Any idea what causes it and how to resolve it? At this point, I have a full backup of the contents, so I'm only concerned with resolving the sd card issues and making the notifications disappear.
Thanks
I had this issue, removed as card and blew into the slot and replaced the card, haven't had it happen again so far.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Yeah, I've powered down the phone, removed the card, replaced it and powered back on but I still have the same errors.
Called Verizon and they told me to go to one of their stores to see if swapping out a new SD Card would fix it. Hopefully the problem doesn't happen again.
Stopped by the Verizon store and they swapped out a new SD card. The "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem" error went away but I still had the "Damaged internal storage - Storage damaged. You may have to reformat it" error. This time it allowed me to format the internal storage.
So it turns out that the SD card was completely hosed and the external SD card got corrupted, but after the format was resolved.
I'm still not sure what caused this but I hope it's not something regular as I have had the phone less than a week.
Every time i got a problem with any external device, like sd card, I use this powerfull tool Aconis Disk Director. It has a lot of options that maybe solve you problem.
I've been seeing this too. How do they swap out the internal sd?

Trouble with SD card

When I try to do things in TWRP it gives me an error that says E:Unable to mount storage. I thought maybe my sd card needs to be reformatted or something, so I went to the system settings once booted and looked under storage. At the bottom "Mount sd card" and Erase SD card are both greyed out and I cant select them. When I connect my phone to my pc it shows only internal storage instead of an internal folder and sd card folder.
All of my data on my sd card still shows up when im on the phone though and I believe all of my data on my sd card is showing up as under internal storage.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on?

I had a similar issue today, my SD card was corrupted, this seems to happen with my SD card and android devices every now and then and I'm not sure why. Putting the SD card in my computer showed most of the files were okay, however, there were some that were messed up. Mine was pretty messed up so it is looking like I'm going to have to reformat it if repairing the corrupted parts doesn't work.
I just found a sd card adapter for my pc and used it. I ran chkdsk on the sd card and it found a ton of errors. If I reformat the sd card; what should I reformat it to? Fat32? That's what it is currently.
Edit-After running chkdsk f: /f on my sd card im able to select the mount and erase options now. It seems to have fixed all my issues.
