my sd card is encrypted,
I made a factory reset,
I turned the phone on, trying to decrypt it it gives me "This SD card cannot be decrypted because it was encrypted on another device..."
Although it's the same device
tried to connect to pc via cable the same thing I got, (It says this is a kind of security and privacy)
I want to get the files on the sd card back but with no success, any help ?
Did you remove the card from the phone before you updated to the beta? This happened to me when i did the Oreo beta last year for the S8 and I had to get a new SD card and re-transfer the files from my PC...
Have you inserted the card into your laptop to see if you can access the files on your computer?
this year i removed the card and before the update to beta and I can see my files now...i hope you can find a way to access the card my friend ...best of luck...

The phone warned you of this (and what would happen) when you encrypted the SD card.
Factory resetting the phone caused the phone to generate a new set of encryption keys (which is why it tells you it was encrypted on another device). As a result you won't be able to recover the data on the SD card.

I recently upgraded my memory card on my Streak to a 32gb class 10.
When trying to put files (pictures and videos) on the card via the USB cable the files appear to have been copied okay, but when trying to access the files on the Streak they are either missing or corrupted.
I reformatted the card in the Streak and tried again. This had the same effect.
I transferred some files via skydrive and they worked fine. But the next time a accessed the card via USB, the files disappeared again, even though I didn't access the folder in question.
This is the second card I have tried, so I assume that the card is not the problem.
I'm running stock 2.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What OS are you using?
Even though the file copy may appear complete it may not be. Make sure you use whatever steps are appropriate for your OS to eject or unmount the SD card after copying.
Using Win 7 x64...
I'll have another go and let you know.

I've tried again making sure that I've selected Turn off USB storage from the handset and safely eject from the PC. It still happens.
The strange thing is that it even affects folders that I didn't access whilst connected to the PC (it either empties or deletes the folders).
Totally stumped on this. Could it be a problem with the card? If so, has anyone used a 32gb card that works that they can recommend?
You have tried at least 2 cards, but have you tried a different PC. Is it possible you may have "something" running on the PC causing this.

Make sure that you do those in the correct order. Safely remove from PC first, then turn off USB storage on the phone.
If you can read the card with no problems make a backup and then format the card in the phone. I have seen a lot of cases (and not just with Streaks) where issues were caused by using a card that had not been formatted while in the phone.
Where did you buy the card from? I ask because this sounds a lot like the symptoms you see with faked cards that are really much smaller than the 32GB they claim.

Hmm. I got it from Ebay. It does show as 31.2gb in windows.
This is the second card I've had from this supplier (I sent the first back because of the problems with the streak as listed above). As I had the same probs with the 2nd card I assumed the device must be at fault.
Are you sure the card is legit? you should hook it up to a card reader and loading +20gb of data and seeing if it's good
I tried transferring a load of files to the card and it stopped after about 3gb. Some of the folders were empty.
I tried reformatting in windows and noticed it was FAT32. The card will not format as NTFS.
I guess this means that the card is duff?
it definitely sounds like you got a fake, those are classic signs it's a fake
Hi all
I have a question/problem about my files on SD Card.
When I connect my sony ericsson xperia neo with the pc even if it is locked with a pattern I can still access all the files on SD card from USB.
I haven't found a way to encrypt the whole or part of the SD.
In my previous phone (windows mobile 6.1) there was an option where you could encrypt files in sd so that when i connected it through usb to pc, the pc asked me for password first and then read the files.Also i couldn't read the sd with a card reader cause it was encrypted.
Is there an option to encrypt the whole sd or at least part of it?
If so,how?Do i need to use an extra program from android market?Is there an option to do that from the operating system?
I will search for a way to do so...that is really necessary...I have used symbian and maemo before android...in symbian you can set password for sdcard and it becomes unreadable by pc.

I have tried to find a way for days now. Nothing so far. I read that in ICS encryption will be available. Well,if that's the case i guess we'll have to wait till then.
It's a bit shame though because this is a HUGEEEEE security issue that I dont understand why i don't see much fuss about it!!!I'm amazed!
There r a lots of other issues...in my opinion android is still evolving and there is a long way ahead...even then android is by far the best mobile OS.

Hello all,
So I upgraded the phone to ICS 4.0.3 and it seems I cannot find an option to encrypt phone under settings > security.
What I have found is this:
If i connect to pc through usb I need to enter my screen password in order to be able to read the SD Card.
BUT, when I remove the sd card and enter it to an external card reader ALL data are available.
Is there no option to fully encrypt the SD Card in ICS?
What the heck?
Hi everyone,
after 1 year expericing with evo 3d everything is ok,
but in the last month some problems are killing me.
1- when i put the usb connection to download image, after i get sd error and cant see any images from gallery. (files are visible with android assistan, visible after rebooting, tried different cables, different sd, the system doesnt sees anymore images of applications, maybe some refresh problem?)
2- when i turn off the screen and connected to wifi or datamobile, both turn off till i turn on the screen, its a very annoying problem...
3- also the music application cant find my mp3 folder with music.
4- when i open gmail at first it says "no data connection", even if i'm connected, and clicking refresh works. (but i have to click everytime!!!,,,,
5- today i got also a strange grey icon of the battery with an ? on it, first time ever seen it.
other miscellanea information:
the phone is all original, i'm using apex launcher instead of sense, there is a lot of free space on sd, the phone never fell on the floor, nor in the water. camera is working great and all other function, no lag in applications,,
i hope some of you great xda master can help me finding a solution,
thanks to all.

ps. does exist an application that cancel all unused application files in the sdcard? thanks again.
1 and 3 sound like a bad sd card or card reader in the phone. The rest sound like an OS bug, which a factory reset should hopefully clear up.

What do you mean "cancel?"
thanks for the answer,
i guess is the sd card, il try a factory reset. the new sd card that caused problem is a samsung 16 gb cas 6, i thoght it was good.
i mean wipe the garbage, like all those files left behind from applications uninstalled and no longer used.
thanks again.

Well, normally when you connect the USB cable and choose to connect the USB storage then the SD card becomes unavailable to the phone but the computer can then access it. Both the computer and the phone cannot access the SD card at the same time... I will spare you the technical reasons but you should know that this is normal. After you are done copying files with the computer then you must turn off this USB storage mode so the phone can access the SD card again and then it will see all your music and pictures again (all these are stored on your card by default).
This should all be fixed OK by a reboot of the phone though in any case. Are you sure you rebooted the phone completely? maybe you should try to remove the battery once?
If you've done all that then you can try to repair the SD card by taking it out of the phone and using micro sd to SDHC adapter and inserting it directly into a computer then using windows to run a chkdsk on it.
hi,
i've done all you said properly, you know the problem came out because there was a differente behavior than in the past.
i remove securely the phone from pc and then is not accessible,
i didn't tried to chdsk the sdcard i'll try, but it sounded strange to me because its brand new.
i also tried to contact htc , they said " try to reboot, or try to remove the battery and the sd and start the phone again, the problem wasnt gone.
thanks for the advice.

Well if it's just gotten corrupted then you can just reformat the sd card. You'll want to backup all your data first so if you can't do that from the USB connection to the PC then you'll need to insert it directly into a pc. Once you've formatted it you can put your backed up data back on the card and put it back in the phone and after a while it will find your mp3s again. If it's truly a bad sd card then the reformat won't help.
Do you have another sdcard? The one that came with the phone or any other? Try putting some mp3s and photos on it and then put that in your phone. If your phone recognizes the photos and mp3s then maybe your current sdcard is the problem. And can you tell the the format of your sdcard? Is it NTFS or exFAT or FAT32? If it is UHS-1 card there is a good chance that it is in exFAT. To make it work on Evo 3d, convert it to FAT32 .

Try and reboot again.
If still an issue, you can either lose your data and try and format it int he phone, or get an adaptor and plug it into a computer
I tried nothing works.. I think after I installed the update of clean master and reebooted and the problem apeared

If you connect it to a computer it may recognize. If you try more than one Operating System, and more than one Adapter, it may read the SD card. The phone is lease likely to recognize it if there is corruption.
As a last resort, you may have to format the SD card, but it will completely erase your data. To do that find the drive letter for it on the computer (usually F: ) and right click, select format, and leave everything but choose FAT32 as the filesystem.
You can just replace the SD card for now, and try to get a friend or a technician to help you recover it from that one.

hey i bought a card reader it reads the microsd card but i cant access it.. how can i backup my files?
I was having some issues with my phone and figured I'd do a full wipe Internal and External -- So, I wipe the SD card and then xfer the Rom files over and then wipe the Internal and install the Rom. Install went fine but I noticed shortly after it was constantly rebooting about 20secs after booting up. So, I was going to try another Rom, but this time when I plugged the phone in (usb > mac) -- it couldn't recognize the SD card. So I try the windows laptop, same thing. So, I formatted the SD card with the computer. Now, TWRP still won't mount the SD and any files I put on the SD card, TWRP doesn't see it. Any ideas here?
I tried this from another post but it didn't help:
Fixed. Here's what I did.
Mounted via TWRP
Reformatted drive in Windows (desktop)
Copied new ROM zip to drive
copied boot.img (from rom zip) to drive
Wiped, Installed ROM via TWRP
Rebooted to bootloader
Applied boot.img via fastboot
Rebooted
worked.

Have you tried another SD card to see if the issue persists?

I used the Transformer to format the SD and used AirDroid to xfer over rom files -- I noticed TWRP sees it under SDCard2 now. I got it installed but something I noticed that is odd is that when I plug it into the Mac or PC it's seeing the older files I had on it. When using the explorer in droid or airdroid it only sees Carbon's rom file on it. No idea what's going on.
