Huawei P20 Pro data partition severely corrupted - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Huawei P20 Pro fell on the floor and the screen broke. The new screen arrived and I'm having a problem now. When I turn on the phone EMUI eRecovery appears and it says "Data partition severely corrupted. To reset your device, please format the data partition." I have the options to shutdown or format data partition. When I try to format data partition the phone gives me an error. Since the phone doesn't have a microsd card slot I tired using a a usb thing that holds the microsd card and an otg cable to connect everything so I can update the phone but that didn't work, I also tried formatting the microsd card in exFAT but that also didn't work. I tried connecting the phone to my pc a couple of times and it only worked once (the phone can charge just fine) and when I tried looking what the phone has on it with file explorer there was literally nothing on it and I couldn't move anything in it.

SD Card - unrecognized filesystem or blank

So I rooted and flashed XtrSense, and thought it would be great if I had a large micro SD card. So I picked up a 32gb card off ebay. Now my first problem is I'm not sure if its a real 32gb or just a 8gb that someone hacked to make it show as 32gb, but thats beside the point for right now.
I've always had a problem when I plug my phone into my computer over usb, where if I move the cable just one bit, it disconnects then reconnects quickly then says that the device would preform faster in a USB 2 slot (all of mine are USB 2).
Unfortunately this happened when I was transferring music and when I unplugged from the computer it said my SD card had errors. I used the prompt to format it, and my card worked fine for a while.
Well that same scenario happened again last week and for some reason I decided to format it using Amon recovery. Now I'm afraid my SD card is corrupt because when I start my phone it says the card is blank or has an unrecognized filesystem. Whenever I try the format option the phone gives, it does nothing. Any ideas?
I can't help you with the formatting issue (try formatting FAT32 through windows?), but I have had the USB intermittent connection problem. Easily solved by using a standard usb cable or charger (not the modified one provided by HTC) and using a small stylus to bend the shorter of the two long sides of the plug slightly outward.
Thanks for the tip on the cord! I'll try that as soon as I find my cord.
And I can't format the card in windows because windows doesn't recognize that anything has been plugged in
And just for clarification you mean the bottom on this picture?

Can you format it through a card reader? Also, can't you format it through the settings | storage settings menu?
Yes, the bottom where you have the carats. there's usually a seam right in the middle that is easily bent. don't bend too hard or far. just a fraction of a centimeter will tighten up the connection

Going through settings and selecting format does nothing. I click the button and it still says its a blank or unsupported filesystem

if the phone reformatted it then it should be blank.
now mount it to the computer and put what you want on it
You did it wrong in amon_ra. Reformat in amon but this time set first two settings to zero and the remainder fat32. Hope this helps.

So I followed your response and wiped EXT on sd then partitioned it with both settings=0 but I still get the same error message: "sd blank or unsupported filesystem"
EDIT: So I tried to do it in command prompt and it said unrecognized disk label. So i tried to change it but whatever I type it says invalid token
Edit 2: And by command prompt I mean IO installed android adb and foolowed a guide online to try and format my SD card that way
You may try this step by step guide that helped me before: recover data from corrupted SD card
hope this helps.

Corrupted Kingston 16GB microSD HC UHS3 Card (SDCAC)

Hello friends and happy New Year ,
I have problem and I need some assistance, if it is possible (of course ).
I have bought an Kingston UHS 3 Micro SD Card and mounted it as a Internal storage device on my Nokia 5 (Android 7.1.2) unrooted phone. The thing is as I downloaded a cache file from the Google play store, my phone froze so i turned it off, and after turning it on again, it said that my card is corrupted, and that I should try formatting it, which is, you guessed it - not possible. I got a nice message from android which goes something like this : "common 7 volume partition disk 179,64 public failed with null". So I took my card reader, placed it in my PC USB port and nothing happened. My PC doesn't recognize anything, so i went to Disk Managment, and i can see it there, but it doesn't have a "Volume Letter", so I tried giving it one, without success. DISKPART doesn't work, Mini Tool Partition Wizard just freezes, EaseUS also. To be honest, I don't care for files on my card, because it didn't had any , I just want to make it work. So if anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.
P.S. I think that the card is now in "read - only" mode.
Thank you.

Sd card problem

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.

OTG Pendrive Problem

Hi,
I have a little bit of a problem with my pen drive. It's a 512gb SanDisk which I formatted to fat32.
When it's freshly formatted it works very well with the phone, but when I put files on it (~360gb mp3s) the phone just says it needs to format the flash drive. If I try to format it, the phone switches, after a while, in to something which resembles a boot loop screen until it's (manually) rebooted (and the pen drive is corrupted and needs to be formatted on the pc again)
Do you have an idea how I can get this to work?
If there is already a thread with a solution to my problem I'm sorry, I couldn't find it , but at least I tried to find it
I'm on Miui 11.0.9. 0 global non root.
Thank you in advance!

Softbrick

Hello, today I wiped my data thru TWRP and now im stuck in boot system ( Pixel Experience )
My pc doesnt recognize my phone , maybe its the cable or the port fault, so i cannot transfer files. I thought to use an micro sd card, I found one in the house but its very old ( 128Mb ) I know in system it used to work but in TWRP I dont see any external storage. I even formated in FAT32 the sdcard, it may not work
because it's very old? Shall I try to get a new one? Whats the solutin if a new cable and a new micro sd card wont work to transfer files into my storage?
Format data again from TWRP. Restart to recovery.
See if your PC recognizes your phone.

I don't understand why it doesn't detect my micro sd, I tried with another one and twrp doesn't see any other storage. I think my cable is screwed that's why it doesn't connect to PC, also it charges only with only slow charging mode, I hope its not my port fault.
Strange, I would try formatting internal storage too.
Another option would be pen drive with otg cable/adapter.
Ensure the storage is mounted.
I cleaned very well my port and now it worked
