im a noob (fairly).... how would i do that?? the phone doesnt see it at all?? Im so confused...dont know what I did....or why it erased my sd... UGH

Put it into a card reader, insert the card reader into your computer. I forgot what to do after that. Just google "how to format SD card windows 7" for example. Obviously if you have Linux or mac just replace win7 with that.

It probably became corrupted. There are only 2options: buy a card READER Or buy a new card.

SD cards can brick. I have corrupted my SD a couple of times, but nothing like this. I even corrupted it purposley to root.
Anyway, can you mount it in recovery as USB storage.

If you are rooted, then that will be in recovery, but not in stock recovery.

I downgraded from root, to install the ota leak, then re root, and install the 2.2 leak. After a successful downgrade, my SD card came unplugged, when i ead switching to a new battery, when i put the SD back in, it wouldn't read it. What is the solution to this. If i don't have root anymore, how do i get back to where i was? Thanks in advance

Sd card mounted as read only

Hey my phone keeps popping up with an error saying sd card mounted as read only. I've read about fixes bit they haven't worked for me. My question isn't whether anyone has a fix but whether I should unroot my phone before taking it to sprint

Yup. Use an RUU. You can get them here:

Before you unroot and return it. I had the same problem, and was able to fix it by booting to recovery, Mounting USB through recovery, and using my computer to perform a full (not quick) Fat32 format on the card.
Same thing happened to me, its more than likely a SD card issue. I had to format mine to get it to work, but yes its better to be safe than sorry root before returning

[Q] Downgrading Clockwork Mod, HBOOT not having it

Hey guys,
Okay so here's the schtick:
I've got Incredibly Re-Engineered Z 1.01 installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983182, "The Blue One"). I like it about 80% of the way, but it's giving me issues, so I planned on going back to either regular -Re-Engineered 2.3.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893233, "The Green One")or SkyRaider 3.5. The issue is that neither of them will install with Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.8. Perusing the forums told me to downgrade to 2.5.1.2. Fine. Looked around, downloaded the zip file, and tried to install it via HBOOT 0.92. I downloaded it three times and made sure the SD card was formatted as FAT32, just as the instructions said. I renamed it per the instructions as well, and each time, HBOOT tells me "no image or wrong image". I'm making the assumption that attempting to clockwork mod from within clockwork mod would be a generally bad idea.
I've got everything backed up on my MicroSD card, so while I have no problem blowing away my internal storage to all hell and doom, I'd rather not do the same to my SD card (although I do have it backed up as well, so if shove comes to thrust I CAN do that). In fact, I am having the perpetual "preparing phone storage" issue as well, so blowing everything to all hell and doom is probably a good idea for me anyway.
Regardless, I need to downgrade clockwork mod until the next release of re-engineered. I already did a search for the procedures, but right now the score is HBOOT: 1, Voyager529: 0.

Do you have the zip on the root of your SD card? It can't be in any folders or hboot won't see it.

It is on the root of the SD card. HBOOT sees it, but insists that it's a 'bad image or no image'.

[Q] This is just not a good situation

First off I know i am not bricked. I can still get to recovery, bootloader, and I actually can boot into my rom. The probably is that I cant get past the setup wizard it keeps force closing. I am on Energy sense 3.5. I would do a nandroid restore but Im on twrp 2.0 and it can not read my sd card. Anyone know how to either past the setup wizard or get my sd card to work.
You can go hardcore. Change your Recovery to Amon Ra, wipe everything except SD Card, and reflash

Take your SD card out and put it in a card reader put amon ra recovery zip on it and boot into the boot loader and let the boot loader flash it

Do that, or run the sd card fix from fastboot, using adb.

Hopefully the issue is only with the recovery and not with the bootloader which should still detect the SD card with a PC136IMG.zip on it. So find RA recovery on its bootloader format (PC136IMG.zip) and put it on the root of the SD and boot to bootloader (power + vol down), it should detect it and flash it.

If you can get to recovery, you can toggle USB on, or whatever TWRP calls it and it'll connect to your computer.
So I ended up unrooting because when I tried to change recoveries it would find the pc36 but it wouldn't let me update. It would say checking but it would take me back to the bootkoader. My sd card still does not show up. And my usb does not work. It wont charge unless I turn it off. I tried to use fastboot to get sd card to working but it when I put in that code from calukin s thread it says failed((status malformed 1 bytes)). Something like that. I'm still on 2.2 with update 3.70 is it anyway rerooot without my USB

If your problem is a loose USB port, they should replace it if there's no user damage. I had one replaced for free with a broken charging port as it's a known issue.

If there is no evidence of rooting your device or moddifying hardware/software (or they can't tell), no water damage, and they can't fix it for you over the phone or in the store.
However they may try to give you a downgrade... just speak to a supervisor if they do.

Is it ok to complete change sd cards when I've got a custom recovery installed?

Ok, so this is probably a stupid question, but the last time I tried to do a factory reset on my phone and install and format a new sd card I ended up soft bricking my phone and I don't want that to happen again because I don't have a computer at my house. But...if I'm running stock JB 4.1.2 flashed thru odin, rooted, and I have TWRP installed can I change sd cards without a problem? Or, are there files on my current sd card that the phone needs to read the recovery or root or whatever? Thanks.

I may be wrong but I'd say you need your SD card with your recovery on it to be in your phone.. I've never really tried removing the SD card.. Good question tho.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking but I needed a second opinion. I am wanting to switch sd cards bc I've got way too many pictures on it and I really don't have time to borrow someone's computer and sit down and go thru what I to keep, then organize them all and put them on disc....so I was hoping to just start fresh on a new card for now, but it doesn't look like it's gonna be that easy. So, would I have to put the new sd card in my phone then flash the recovery via odin? Or would I have to reflash the stock Rom or what? Any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Just turn your phone off and switch SD cards. Nothing should happen to your recovery.

I don't know what to tell you. I have no problem switching SD cards. Did it earlier today.
My guess would be to make sure to have either twrp or what ever recovery you use on the new SD card you want to use.

When you flash a recovery it is installed to your phones internal memory. Not to the external SD card.

Micro SD card no longer mounting

I have been running the stock rom for 4.3. Sunday I saw a message saying that my SD card couldn't be read. I tried it in some at works phone and their phone couldn't read it. Now the new one every time I try to mount it I get the message that its safe to remove.
The rom has been on the phone for a few months now so I don't think its the rom.

Sounds like your SD Card may have gone south. You can try SD Formatter to see if you can save the card. Just be sure and backup all your information to your PC / Laptop before you format the SD Card.
SD Formatter 4.0
I just bought the new one Monday. I guess if that's it then I got a bad one.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Looks like it could be the phone. I tried to get a PC to see the internal and it won't even install the drivers.
EDIT: My PC can see the external SD I just bought Monday. I formatted it and every time I put it in the phone the phone wants to reformat it. If I plug the phone in it doesn't connect to the PC unless I set it up to connect as a camera and not a media device.
EDIT: Had to unroot and then go into recovery and format back to factory. That was the only way I could get it to work. Not sure what happened to cause it to do this.
