I hooked up my Desire to my PC as a usb drive and somehow it has corrupted the FAT table on it
Is there anywhere I an get an image of the original SD Card as it comes with the Desire? Obviously I can re-install music/videos etc, but I'm afraid that not having the original data on the card will screw up the apps.
Any ideas?
No it will not. Nothing essential on the original microSD card.
Excellent! Thank you for that.
I actually got most of the files off the card using RescuePro, but they're named Raw0001.dll, Raw0002.exe, etc, but it means I can recover the htcsync.exe and the pdf manual and suchlike.
Thanks again for your help.
I have a Sandisk 16Gb microSD card (which has outlasted one blackberry phone without the slightest problem) and have found that the Desire has on three occasions so far deemed it to be corrupt - with the only option is to format!
Having only music it hasn't been too much of an issue - but if and when I start storing app data such as satnav maps etc I am going to lose my adoration of this phone pretty darn sharpish.
Has anyone else had any sd issues?
Hi, I got my Desire on Friday, from mobilephonesdirect. It seems to be virgin branded phone and I am experiencing the same problem with SD card, it keeps saying the card is damaged and needs to be reformatted, or it says the card is new and needs formatting. I thought this was because it's meant to be a T-mobile phone and possibly the sim is messing the card??? Don't know this is all new to me.
If however the phone is virgin and working on a t-mobile sim does that mean it's unlocked? In which case I shouldn't return it just because of sd card.
Thing is, I don't know if there is something wrong with phone for not accepting the card or if there is something wrong with card?

Hi, I got my phone from carphone warehouse on T-mobile last month and it came with Virgin Media icons as well. I have had no problems with SDcard but replaced it straight away for an 8 Gig I had waiting for it The 4 Gig card has now gone in the mrs's blackberry and seems to be working fine.
The original 4gb card is collecting dust on a shelf. The 16gb replacement is a tried and tested card. Here's to hoping just an unpleasant hitch.
Mine's an unlocked device from T-Mobile.

i have a 8GB kingston sd card in my tmous g2. i just bought a 16GB PNY sd card and im having troubles having it read by my computer(mac and pc) and my phone. heres what i did:
i copied all of my files from my sdcard to my computer via data cable so i could jut transfer them to my 16GB card. i put the 16 card in my card reader that came with it, into my computer and it wouldnt read it, so i tried the 8 in the same card reader of the PNY and it worked. then i tried to put the PNY card into my phone and it wouldnt recognize it. im not sure what to do.
why cant my phone or my computer read the card? its not the reader because my kingston card worked with it. is it because of the two different brands? any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

I had this same problem when upgrading the SD card in my HD7. I went out and got a Microcenter branded 32gig SD card and swapped it into my HD7. Worked flawlessly. A friend of mine got jealous because of the read/write performance increase, so he went out and bought the exact same thing. Only difference was that his kept locking up on him instead. He returned it and got the same exact size and brand card. After installing it, it worked just as good as mine. Turns out he just got a bad card the first time.
Sounds like the problem is in the card itself. If the PC won't even recognize it then there's probably something wrong with the card. Different brands shouldn't matter because the PNY card adapter worked fine with the Kingston 8gig card.
I'd return it if possible and get a different one.
I also just got a 16GB PNY card and I have had no problems with it reading data or having data be read off it.

Yep, I agree this is probably the issue. PNY cards are cheaply made and not great quality.
Hi im not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. I smashed my screen last year and it was completely none functional. My brother attempted to replace the digitizer and the display can be seen as per usual, however there were a few problems which occurred after the refurb which i need help with. Initially both sd and sim card reader were not functioning but after buying a new seem card sd card socket, the sd card is now operable. The seem card however is not. I've tried a new sim card and still nothing. Also the motion g-senor also isn't working properly, e.g. when i tilt the phone it doesn't display at all in landscape.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Something is fishy with our SD cards (both my wife and I), since they've somehow seemed to "go bad" about 2 weeks apart. We both have the S3 16GB and I bought two 32 GB SanDisk cards for our phones. Everything seemed fine until about 2 weeks ago when her card went out, then last night my card seems to have gone bad too. All the phone says is it's "safe to remove the card", can't access the card in any way. I currently can't find my adapter to test the micro card in my laptop, but I should at some point. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this with their SD cards?
I had a problem with my 64gb Sandisk card that went bad duing a rom flash. I have EASEUS Partition (can be downloaded free) installed on my PC and the partition on the SD card was missing. I reformated the partition using FAT32 and it has been fine now for over two weeks.
Just a note I now remove my SD card when I flash ROMs. I know it should be safe but it takes a few hours to rebuild 58gb.
This phone fried my 16gb card
What class sdhc is it?

My 64gb SanDisk errored too within the first week. Formatted and working since. Mine stopped working when I changed a battery (yes, the phone was off).

where did you buy the card? also what class is it?
I'm having the same problem with my 32gb sandisk class 4. it was working fine on my LTEVO but the moment I put it on in my GS3 the card went dead.
32GB Class 10 PNY formatted to FAT32 has been flawless for me...and I've used the same sd card in two previous devices (E4GT & Evo LTE)

Class 4 SanDisk and I bought them on Amazon. Wasn't a bulk type card without proper packaging either, it arrived in the mail packaged like what you would see in B&M's. In any case, I'm going to need to locate my adapter so I can attempt to format them.

I find it hard to believe that there is actually a "bad batch" of SD cards from SanDisk... I have a friend that also has an S3 (Verizon) that said his 32 GB card (not sure of the class) went bad as well. It would make more sense that the S3 is somehow making them bad or not recognizing them anymore. However, most of my assumptions may just be wishful thinking.
I had some problems that I think were more CM9/exFAT support related with a 64gb UHS-1 card. I used this to format it and it's been fine since
I keep getting a usb storage damaged message. I have read that it is sometime an issue with the galaxy s3. Also sometimes when I first unlock the phone it says prepping sd card even though I did not remove it.
Also my SD card is a SanDisk 64gb class 10. I have read that this can be an issue with a certain crop of SanDisk.
Any tips? As of right now entitling works and if it's just messages popping up.

Have you tried using the SD card in other devices and on a computer?
I had a *similar* problem with an old MicroSD card in my original Galaxy phone and formatting the card seemed to work. I can't speak too much to your issue because the largest MicroSD card I've used is 32 and it's been flawless.
Yeah, verify across devices first. If not, try filing a claim with SanDisk if you purchased the sdcard only recently and it's already gone bye-bye.
Hi there, I have a problem with my micro SD card, it is a Verbatim micro SD, class 4, 32gb. This morning when I woke up my phone stopped recognizing the card. I tried to restard the phone, reenter the card, put it on a different phone...nothing. Can someone help me? I haven't dropped the phone or something.
It may be a fake micro-SD card.
I faced this issue and then replaced the card with real SanDisk card.
And now everything ok.

Them cards tend to go out very fast and randomly. I only buy sandisk cards cause' there the only ones that seem to last forever with me.Only thing you can do is get a new card, that cards dead
That card last for over an year than, but my most concerning question is, can I somehow save the data from it?

You might be able to save a little bit of data with linux but im no expert on it.
So now, my question is, should I buy a class 10 micro sd any brand or sandisk is recommanded?

Sandisk is recommended in my opinion, but a sony SD should work just as well
