Hello,
my SD-card is damaged, it can no longer be formatted as internal memory. How can I, if not the data, at least save the SD-card and use it again as internal memory?
I inserted the card with adapter into Windows PC and executed CHKDSK, supposedly there is RAW data on it. Windows Disk Management displays the SD-card 100% error-free, with 16MB and 28.5GB partitions. Windows can't read them either. What could I do to recover data and/or memory?
I cannot connect to the PC via USB debugging (with ADB and MTP). Is there another possibility of SD-card & or data recovery, if I had the exact error code, for example? Anything, anyone?

1st of all, I don't know, how this is related to our device! :/
Anyway, Use an sd card reader and plug it via a usb in pc and see if windows detect it...
if yes, you can format it by windows and then recover the data by any data recovery software...(100% data can never be recovered, or there might be a chance that no data is recovered)
If not then probably you won't be able to recover anything. You can try giving to a shop who recover the data, they might be able to help!
I inserted the micro sd-card with SD-Card adapter into Windows PC and executed CHKDSK, supposedly there is RAW data on it.
Windows Disk Management displays the SD-card 100% error-free, with 1x 16MB and 1x 28.5GB partitions.
BUT windows OS can't read DATA either.
I've found that Linux on a PC can sometimes read USB memory sticks that Windows finds unreadable.
This may apply to SD cards as well, so put your SD card into a PC-accessible card reader and try reading it under Linux.
There are various versions of Linux that don't need to be installed on your hard disk, and can be booted direct from CD or USB stick.
These are referred to as "live" installations.
GParted Live CD or USB stick might be useful for you. (Search for it).
(GParted = Gnome Partition Editor. Take care with that particuler program though)
Thanks for your advice. I will probably try this in second life.

Hey guys I have been trying to get some info if it is possible to put on and play larger files then 4gb on my galaxy s2.
I havebought a micro usb to HDMI adapter and I want to stream blurry rips to my projector using my phone.
I know the file system is good only to 4gb but why is there no custom rom that Will let me formated and read/write to say ntfs in my sd card in my phone. Isn't android Linux based? I know my ubuntu has no problems reading and writing ntfs. Why can the inserted sd card not be treated like a hard drive I plug into my laptop?
Thanks for your time.
I'm not 100% sure, but if the system is set to FAT32, then it won't be able to read NTFS anyways... and microSD card is set to Fat32, so there is a problem. But there is a possible workaround I will tell you to try AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember, this may or may not work... so this is what you should do to be safe:
1) Do not format the card with your phone. Take it out and plug it into your PC via
a usb card reader. Make sure your system is set to see ALL files (hidden)... and copy the whole microSD card contents to a backup folder on your PC (preserving everything as is).
2) Now select your card drive and format by selecting NTFS format.
***many MicroSD cards can't be formatted like that .. but you can give it a try and see.
OH, and you might need to use Drive Mount by Dwayne Hoy. HERE
If it doesn't work - then format it back to Fat32 and put back all your content.
PS
There are different ways you can backup your Card, but I take no responsibility if this screws things up
Good luck!
I clean installed Flashback 10.3 (kudos to the developer!) on my GTab, and it works great. I do have a question...
When I plug in the USB cable from my PC (and turn on USB storage, of course), in Windows Explorer (Directory Opus actually) I can "see" the SD Card as drive G, but I can't see the root drive (Internal Memory). I do get a "Removable Disk H" that displays, which I suspect is internal memory, but it says there is no disk in drive H, and the properties say everything is 0 bytes.
I downloaded "APK Batch Installer" to allow me to back up my GTab apps to my PC, but it can't "see" the internal memory to get to the apps, either.
I have ES File Explorer on the GTab, and I can see the internal memory there; and from there I can "back up" the apps to the SD card - and then, of course, I can see them on the PC and back them up to the PC.
So I guess the question is, how can I see the internal memory (not the SD Card) from my PC? Is that possible? If not, fine, but if so, I'd love to know how.
Thanks, Cecil

There are 2 reasons for what you describe, above.
The first reason--the 2 drives showing up--is, I suspect, the same bug that afflicts the other HC ROM for the gTab, GtabComb(Over). Only one drive--for the SD card--should show up over the USB cable. Start reading from this post onwards for the details and for the "bug fix".
The second--the no disk in drive H: message--is related to the same bug, but, the actual reason for the 0 bytes and the message is because the filesystem that is being presented as drive H: is ext3 (the /data partition) and not vfat (AKA FAT32) like for drive G:.

The description above, and details in the post I linked to, should give you a clue if you really want to do this, but, I strongly recommend that you not export /data over the USB cable like that--esp. on a running system. Doing it in CWM is okay; but, not in the ROM--you will very probably trash the /data filesystem if you change anything there.
Hi all,
I recently needed my 8GB sdcard to install windows on a laptop with a broken dvd drive.
First I dragged all the data from the sdcard over to a new folder on my iMac.
After repartitioning and formatting the drive so it would be bootable I used it to instal windows on the laptop.
All was done so I erased all data again on the sdcard and repartitioned it again to FAT with mac's Disk Utility.
Dragged all the data from the iMac back to the sdcard but after booting the phone all apps that were on the sdcard are no longer able to start.
I searched the interweb and these forums and came across a few possible solutions but i'm not sure if those are the right ones
Does anybody have a solution to this problem so I can run these apps again without losing data?
Thanks in advance..
try reformating the sdcard with the phone format in recovery then connect to your mac and recopy the data back to the sdcard.
The phone does not like certain types of partitioning from other computers, using the phone own format guarantees that phone will recognize the sdcard.
So I connected my Sd card with my computer the other day, and I used Paragon Partition Manager. Didn't think too much before doing it. SD card won't show on windows, but can see it in my phone.
Also, my phone's internal storage is showed as a portable mediaplayer. Why won't it show like a external drive? Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I have all USB drivers installed.
HTC One
Does not have external sd card, only the "Internal Storage"
I was trying to multitask and ended up wiping Internal Storage through TWRP.
Is there any app / process I can use to recover files?
Undelete[app] errors out saying it's not a fat filesystem
Disk Digger[app] only searches for specific file extensions, which would cover things like my TitaniumBackup & TWRP Backup files
When I plug it into a computer, it shows up as a Portable Device, and no problem that I've downloaded (Recurva / PCI / EUSUA) is able to search on portable devices, only physical/logical drives.
Is there anything I can do to attempt to get data back from the sd card?
Edit: Should have looked it up first...

That's obviously not for your phone, but there might be similar steps or a way to adapt that to work for you. Good luck!
