So I downloaded the latest OTA update last night, and it installed just fine (phone worked fine, etc). I went to bed later last night, then when I woke up this morning, I got a "SD Card blank or has unsupported file system" message!
The first message I got was actually something a bit different. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what it was, but I clicked on the notification and it tried to do something with the SD Card (probably remount it or something), and ever since I've been getting the "SD Card blank or has unsupported file system" thing.
Now my only option given when I click on this notification is to format the SD Card. This is really annoying; I don't want to format my card and lose all the data! Are there any 'fixes' for this? I noticed a lot of people had this problem with the original HTC Desire.
P.S. I haven't rooted my phone or anything like that, so that wouldn't be an issue.
Edit: I tried all the usual stuff such as rebooting, taking the battery out, reseating the mem card, etc, numerous times to no avail. I got so tired of it that I just tried the format option, but it won't even let me format it! It just does nothing after I click it.
Have you tried the card on your PC using an external reader?

Yep, it just says "Insert a disk into Drive F", but it even says that with a backup card which does work with my phone... so I'm thinking there's a driver or a hardware problem with my USB micro SDHC adapter.
So I put the card into a regular SD adapter, then put that into my laptop's SD card reader and it recognised it. I'm now trying to recover any files I can, as the partition seems to be messed up (needs reformating). Anyone know what the best software for recovering data is?
Same thing happened too mee. Dont know why.
Got off the phone with a HTC rep a few hours ago. HTC will be sending me a new SD Card tomorrow, and have escalated this problem as well as that of the text messages up to the engineering department.
UK customers, try contacting them through here first (no spaces): htc.com /uk/ cs_mail.aspx
Make sure you inform them that other SD cards work fine with your phone, and that the SD card is unreadable in other readers too. That way they know it's not your phone.
Hey all,
I had the same Problem: SD Card blank / unsupported filesystem...
This happened when I used the factory restore option and checked the CheckBox to wipe all data on SD Card...
Phone rebooted - problem was there
Long research...
What I figured out so far:
there seems to be an issue on the DHD with the "format SD" option as far as I read, this is caused due a Software bug...
I am using the following Custom ROM: Modified CyanogenMod 7.0 Beta Nightly #31 (Feb. 9, 2011) Download (Server DE, Europe) | MIRROR (Server DK, Europe) which can be found @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918639
But other users stated they had the issue also with the "Official" release....
Here the solution worked for me:
just put the SD Card in a BlackBerry Phone and format it using the BB (it was poping up when I inserted the card stating no filesystem and it asked me to format the SD Card - i did so...) - action took me less than 2 mins and Card is now accepted again in my DHD.
I would advice not to use the internal functions of DHD to format any SD card - best way I presume is using the USB-Data connection and format it from the PC.
--------------------------------------------
following Post I found at some other forum (not tested as I have no card reader) thanks @flopasques (autor):
1) Install this tool on your computer : http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3
1) Mount the SD card (notifications on the HTC).
2) Don't click any button if Windows displays a pop-up (where it asks you if you want to format). Let this pop-up opened.
3) Open the Panasonic tool and format your SD Card (Quick format is working well).
4) Close the pop-up (if applicable).
5) Unmount the card from the notifications.
6) Remove the card and reinsert it in the phone.
7) Now, it should be correctly detected.
--> Never use the format option on HTC phones, that's my only advice !
Hope this bring some light into the darkness

Try formatting with windows, select type of filesystem as fat instead of fat32.. Works for me, and i noticed even faster write access speed.. about 4-5MB/sec on class 2 sandisk 4gb..
The problem in my case was the SD card didn't have a valid partition table. Here's how I solved the problem on a rooted Samsung Captivate running Cyanogen 7 (it should work on other versions):
Enter adb shell, insert the SD card into the slot and type:
# dmesg
This returns kernel messages. Look at the end, it will tell you what device was inserted with additional information:

<6>[22822.601085] mmcblk1: unknown partition table
Take note of the device, in this case it's "mmcblk1"
Now use fdisk to create a new partition table like this:
# fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
Create a new empty DOS partition table:
Command (m for help): o
Create a new primary partition:

Power cycle your phone so it properly re-reads the partition table and go into Settings, Storage and format/mount your card.
or the easiest u guys can do is "FULL FORMAT" not quick format but full format ur sd card using FAT32
Resolved!
In case you want to recover data from your "dead" SD card:
This morning I was also surprised with the evil "SD Card blank or has unsupported file system" message. Restarting my Desire HD did not fix the issue. So I removed the SD card and put it in a Windows PC, but even the PC did not recognise the card. Windows simply persisted that the drive was empty. I began to fear that many MANY great pictures of my kids would be lost forever...
A friend of mine suggested trying the "GetDataBack" tool for Windows. So I installed it and started it while my SD was in the PC (even though Windows thought is was not). After a long wait the tool actually noticed that there was indeed a volume in the SD drive! I continued on to the next step and "GetDataBack" actually started reading my SD card! It reported a few broken sectors, and then it really got busy! After half an hour (16GB card) I was presented a complete directory structure of my SD. I could even view all the pictures I took
I quickly purchased "GetDataBack" so I could copy the files from my SD. This worked perfectly! I was able to recover ALL my files!
So then I was still stuck with this dead SD card. Clicking "format" on my phone simply did nothing. Windows wouldn't format it either, as it was convinced that there was no disk in the drive. I tried an old Nokia phone, an old digital camera without success. I finally put the SD card in my relatively new digital camera (Canon Powershot SX200) and it was able to format my SD card without any problems!!! After that Windows would happely accept my SD card, so I formatted it again. Finally I copied all my files back on the SD card, and that was all...
Back in business! All I need to do now, is get a decent backup application ASAP.
If you intend to use "GetDataBack" to do the same as I did... make sure to wait as long as it takes, even when the application (or even Windows) may seem stuck.
Good luck!

Hi I have a question, does this works for internal or external sd cards? I have the same trouble with internal sd card, but the only way I can connect it to pc is through the cellphone
I dropped my Desire HD, and there was a big dent on the back over, exactly where the SD card sits. Since then, I've had this problem. I figured that the SD card probably got shock damage, so I bought another one. It was a Sandisk 8Gb, and when I put it in, all was well. 10min later I checked my phone, and the same thing happened!
Now I'm thinking that there is something wrong with my phone. I was going to claim on insurance, but I tried the 2Gb card from my old Hero (Sandisk 2Gb) and it works fine.
Is there any differences between the 2Gb and 8Gb that would make the 8Gb not work?
Is my phone buggered?

Hey, thanks for the tip. I've tried a few, and this seems by far the best one out there.
The problem is, it takes too long, and I mean TOOOOO long. I left it overnight and it was still going. So I came back in the evening....... still going!
I've set the options to 'Recover deleted files', and it is scanning now. When I set the options that you use for a new operating system installation, it takes forever.
It recognises my SD card, but only sees an 8Gb card as being 500Mb :-(
In case you need to recover the data, this small green ware will do the work for you.
Enjoy!

I'm also having the same problem like this guy. my HTC desire S once showed "micro SD card removed unexpectedly and after that it shows Blank SD card. I checked the card in laptop and in other mobile,it runs. but I've tried 3 cards in my mobile but it shows Blank SD card again and again. I've done master reset and also tried following codes on SDK tool as a guy from androidforums.com suggested me:
fastboot OEM enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
though I don't know what are they intend to do.
now my question is, will your method work on my unrooted desire S?

Format the sd card using your computer. After you do this you may find that the phone still has the same notification. Reboot phone and try formatting again. If your sdcard is in Raw format this should work.

I am trying to root my UK vodafone HTC magic, so that I can install the cyanogen mod software on it, and have been unable to create a goldcard. I have now tried 5 different SD cards: 3 of them Kingston, 1 Sandisk and 1 Samsung card. I am absolutely tearing my hair out now!
I have been following this guide (forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4289899) and every time I get to the testing your SD card stage Windows prompts me to format the card, whilst Android reports "Damaged SD card."
The guide suggests that if this happens, I have to get a new SD card, well you can imagine my frustration that none of the cards I have purchased so far (3 of them specifically for this purpose) have worked. Is this guide accurate? Am I doing something wrong? Or should I just continue buying SD cards until I can find one that works? If so can anyone recommend one that absolutely definitely works? Preferably with a weblink to somewhere I can buy it.
Any help would be much appreciated, this is driving me insane now!
The problem you've got isn't the sdcard. In fact, it is the way you write to the sdcard. Ensure that you format the sdcard FAT32 and that you write the first 0x200 raw sector bytes and not to the first 0x200 bytes of the partition itself.
It will then work just fine.
WBR
Thanks for the reply. So you mean copy the data into the first 170 offsets of sector 1 (not 0), starting from offset 0200 rather than 0000 as the guide suggests?
No, it has to start at sector 0, offset 0, with length of 0x200 bytes.
I guess you are trying to write to the wrong device.
What do you mean by the wrong device? I am definitely writing to the SD card. Or do you mean that its a bad SD card? I tried purchasing an SD card reader instead of doing it mounted on the phone and that hasn't helped. Still get the same result
I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, I just don't understand why it isn't working. I have been following the guide exactly but the same problem each time. I have tried Kingston 2GB cards (three different ones) which everyone seems to think will work but they aren't working for me. The only thing I have noticed that is different is that the guide says I should select the drive from the "physical disk" category, whereas on my computer it appears under the "logical disk" category. Would this have an effect?
Thanks again for your help.
OK I seem to have done it What made the difference was taking the card out of the SD card reader after saving changes, turning off the phone, putting the card in and then turning the phone back on again.
Edit - scratch that, it seems to have just re-formatted it automatically.
Ok it turns out I was being stupid, and didn't run HxD as administrator. Yet another victim of UAC!
I want to make a goldcard on HTC Legend.
when I enter "cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid"
it always show "No such file or dicrectory"
But if I enter "cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid"
it show 03534453553038478090011038008976
so is it correct ?
i have XP and when i put the card back in and reboot the phone, it still says damaged sd card..any idea?
still sd card destroyed
i have the same problem, but i run the hex editor in administrator mode (windows 7) :S
i do all the proccedure but at the end i get the destroyed sd card.
i tried formating the card after mounting to pc ( so i start the proccesdure with formated card) and also tried after formating it by phone (with initial android files on it) don't know which one is the right . i guess formating after mounting to pc.
also reversing the cid isn't exact reversing, it's kind of mix reversing right?
i tried that with goldcard helper application and qmat, still no luck.
i guess i do something wrong with the hex editor,
i run it on administrator mode, i open the sd card on one tab and the goldcard on the other and i copy the goldgard 0-170 to my card..
what about 0x200 sector ???
also when formating sd card with allocation unit size shall i choose? does it mater?
thanx
I have bricked my 16G SD card
Anyone any idea how to get the stuff back off the card? I have tried putting it into a Desktop computer but the XP operating system just cant see it in File Explorer
Anyone any ideas?

Heh... Funny use of the word "bricked".
Originally, it was used to describe a phone that was broken in such a way that it could not be used as anything other than a brick.
Guess that's the way the language evolves..
Anyway, File Explorer can only read the device if the partition is ok.
If you've somehow corrupted the filetable, File Explorer won't see it.
Try this;
Right-click "My Computer"
Select "Manage"
Select "Disk management"
If you can see it as Disk# (where # is a number), you can probably delete the existing partition and create a new one.
Or if you can't see any partition data, just try to create a new one.
Good luck!

whats up bonzo. i got the same problem. my 16gb that came with my hd2 is unreadable and unformatable within my device and cpu. in the disk management screen, i have the sd pluged in and it says that its disk 1 and "31 MB RAW" whatever that means. how would i go about patitioning the data to restore it? i dont care about the files because i backed them up and bought another 16gb. i wanted to see if i can get this unreadable 16gb back up. thanks in advance! just a side note, ive done no physical damage to it, all ive done is add media. the sd came with the phone so it is new. one day when i tried to access a movie and the sd didnt show in file explorer.
If you have a stuffed SD card, try plugging the card into a computer, and run TestDisk and PhotoRec. Hopefully you can get the data off it.
hi,the problem with my sd card is that my touchpro2 can read it but cannot write.I am using energyrom cdma May 23 on the fone.is it possible that having my 2gig transcend card in my fone during my upgrade could ve caused the problm.formatting with my hp laptop get to 90% but then says windows cant complete format.I can still see what I ve on the card but cant remove them or add anything on the card.Any help will be appreciated.thanx u all

I'm also having problems with a 16GB SD card in my HTC Hero. My phone is rooted and I'm using the Amon-Ra 1.6.2 Recovery Image.
Booting into recovery mode I go to Partition SDCard, set 0MB for SWAP, 1024MB for EXT2 and the remainder for FAT32. Everything seems to go ok, but having installed some apps on my phone, my internal memory is lower than I would have expected. I've installed Quick System Info Pro and it tells me that it can't get any information for Apps2SD. I'm also having difficulties when copying data to the FAT32 partition, both when the card is in the phone and when it's plugged into a USB port on my computer.
Taking the advice to run testdisk, it reports the following:
Check FAT: unusual media descriptor (0xf0! = 0xf8)
Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 4 (FAT)! = 255 (HD)
Warning: Incorrect number of sectors per track 16 (FAT)! = 63 (HD)

2 P LINUX 1915 49 18 2039 181 62 2000421
No Partition is bootable
Can anyone help me decipher this? Am I right in thinking that the three warnings are simply because it's a memory card rather than a hard disk? Also, why is it showing that I've got 2 LINUX partitions?
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting it working? Is it worth making a live linux (Ubuntu?) CD and creating the partitions under that or can I do it while the card is in the phone using adb?
OR, is my SDCard busted?

You mean it can only see one pen drive at a time?
he means it wont read more than 1 partition on a single drive, I re-wrote a usb key once for USB booting and somehow messed up the partitions, but HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool seemed to sort it
Well, I've since found a guide on here, written a few years back, to manually create partitions using adb shell and parted, and I've even resorted to downloading Ubuntu and using the LiveCD to boot my PC into Linux and then using the disk tools under that, and I'm STILL having issues.
I can create a FAT32 partition without any problems, the difficulties are coming when I then try to create an EXT2 partition; I get a read/write error.
So, all of this suggests to me that my SDCard is bricked and I need to send it back and get it replaced! Unless of course, anyone has any other suggestions?

are you using gparted in ubuntu? when i created mine for my hero, i had to tick one of the boot optiosn in gparted
also how is it connected to the pc?
Yes, I was using gparted in ubuntu, set to 'master boot record' I think it was. I've got a usb key with an adaptor for the micro sdcard.

keep on messing about with it, Its rare they die unless its been write to over 250,000 times of you have been trying to smoke it
I quit smoking nearly 3 months ago now!
Just to clarify, I create the FAT32 partition first, then the EXT2 partition. Am I right in setting it up with a master boot record (I think that's the option within gparted)?
Regarding the EXT2 partition, do I need to take ownership of it or just leave it for SU access only?
Cheers
may i know which partition you set as boot.?
i've tried to set fat32(boot),ext2,linux-swap still does not work. should i set all partition as boot. is there any limit on the size for ext2 and linux-swap partition?
how you partition the sdcard? connect to pc using usb card adapter or connect to pc using the phone?
i rooted my desire successfully and i was partitioning my sd card using minitool partition wizard. this guy was helping me on skype and now my computer cant read my sd when i open minitool it says bad disk what should i do??
i created 2 ex files or something 1 linux swap and 1 fat32

Is this a genuine card???? there are some bad copies on ebay etc.
If so, put card in Windows Card reader, open command prompt as administrator
Type DISKPART
Type List Disk - see if your card shows up
Type Select Disk 1 (or whatever your card up as)
Type Clean - you will loose everything on your card
Type Assign
your card should show in windows and ask you to format now.
After this put card in phone
boot to recovery - volume down & power
partition from recovery (in advanced)
i use 512 first choice
no swap (0)
hope that helps

Type Select Disk 1 (or whatever your card up as)
Type Clean - you will loose everything on your card
Type Assign
your card should show in windows and ask you to format now.
After this put card in phone
boot to recovery - volume down & power
partition from recovery (in advanced)
i use 512 first choice
no swap (0)
hope that helps

Jeez, another thread. Yeh if your using Windows and your primary partition is ext3/4 then it won't read your SD card because Windows can't read ext partitions. If you have CWM 3.0.0.5 recovery, or you can use rom manager (bah) then it will partition it for you. I have attempted to use A2SD myself and I failed because it is useless or I am useless, you pick. I actually might attempt to get A2SD working for my phone just to see if I can actually get it working.
sent u a pm

ya this guy helped me on msn with it and he took off. using minitool software on computer while my desire was pluged on diskdrive and we did all the partition and at the end computer couldnt read my phone and i have 6gb now instead of 8gb when i format and the guy told me to delete the ex3 and linux swap from minitool software and i did. now im stuck with 6gb memory card that is fat32 and computer cant read it only minitool can read it but it says bad disk on red color and i cant do anything with it.
I rooted my phone LG G3 D855 6.0 with kingroot&MM.
after the rooted I got error "Samsung sd card corrupted" also the sd card changes from FAT32 to EXFAT.
How can I slove this problem?
Connect your card to PC using card reader then open cmd (command prompt) then type chkdsk your_card_drive /f then press enter. Good Luck [emoji106]
not helped
Is your card opening in PC?
no
I just connect him with adapter
Now the only way i know is you have to recover your data using any good data recovery software then format your card.
---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------
Or you also can try this method, download AutorunExterminator in your pc and run it while your card is connected then run cmd and type attrib -h -r -s /s /d your_card_letter\*.* press enter.

Make sure adapter is not locked it makes your card write protected.

Again format it to fat32 see what happen....
I got the very same error, Lg g3 d855 16 Gb . While booted android 6.0 can't see SD card anymore, and I get the same error samsung SD card corrupted. Strange thing is that I can see the card and all files from within TWRP recovery. I can even do back ups to the SD card from TWRP. So I put the SD card into pc and rund cmd.exe and hit the command chkdsk d: / f
As you can see from out put SD card looks good.
From my pc I can read and access all files and folders. No one is missing, and it appears the file paths are ok, as are the sectors.
Any idea how I can read the SD card from within android 6.0?

Any ideas what to do make this SD card work?

MM = marshmallows? don't know the lingo...
Could it be chkdsk / r changed the file system to exfat? SD card was read able in marshmallows until I soft bricked phone. But even after soft bricked was fixed I was able to see and read all files on SD card and back up to SD card from TWRP.
So from working in mm to not working in mm. Will try different solutions during the day and I will make sure to post later here so we either know whats works or don't.
How to format SD Card 500gig - 2tb.
It appears the OS times out trying (suspect resource constraint)
I tried externally via USB ADB split partition half internal half storage
(this worked until a reboot after which the partitions could not be seen).
I get frustrated and give up for a few months but keep coming back.
I no longer recall the ADB commands to manually format to try setting it as a single partition.
There has to be a better way to do this... help plz

Bro this forum is for Z2 play, go search somewhere else about your sd card
Yes I have the Moto Z2 Play
Yes I have the Moto Z2 Play
If you check the specs it can support up too a 2tb memory card... just trying to get a quarter of that to work.

The specs on the Motorola website have a footnote next to the 2TB designation which states:
"†† MicroSD card sold separately. Content with DRM restrictions may not be able to be moved to the card. 200 GB is the maximum capacity currently available."
I don't know why the spec says 2TB and the footnote says 200GB max capacity, but this could be the problem. Looks like Moto is saying that you can use up to a 2TB card but the device will only support 200GB of it. Confusing at best.
Sigh,...
At the time that web page and this device was released, the largest SD card on the market was 200gb. So only 200gb was available.
Android 7.1 supports up to 2TB, so theoretically that was/is the max.
I suspect the problems the OP, is having stems from the desire to have partitions and how, he/she is formatting these partitions.
Yes that is it.
Last time I tried I found the syntax to format and split the partition via USB dev mode(or similar), using ADB connection to format the card which worked fine, all 500gig was avail.
However, as suggested. I had chose to split the partition.
Half for internal use & half as private storage. I mounted the card via the ADB which works fine.
I enjoyed for more than a month. Until I rebooted. I had not and could not update the boot parameters so it did not see the partitions after the restart.
I had hoped to have found a way to use ADB Android install to remount after reboot. However I had not figured that out by the time I needed to restart.
Thus I am quite certain that 500gig can be used as I was able to do so before.
I lost my notes. I am hoping someone knows the command / syntax to format it again. I want try setting it up as a single partition (internal use). I think that will work.
For now I just want to use any way possible so can sync/load it up with media.
Thanks all

Still hoping someone knows the ABD function & parameters to format the 500gig for internal use.
Found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381709
I originallly used xda adb shell -> SM list-disks
Resource I located that speak to how I had set it up prior and show a different variation which may be the key (when I have time to test).
For now I want to share a few of the links and steps that should allow you to format an SD Card up too 2TB(for now).
############################
Note:
These look like or look very similar to how I did it the first time. I have not yet retried nor have I tested the following:
Which is why I am only show snippets(steps/code) from the links from others XDA threads / posts on the topic.
If you have had a good or bad experience with any of the following methods:
Please leave a comment for others sharing your experience. Sharing with good intentions, best of luck!

## 1st Option or Variation of how to:
############################
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/enable-adoptable-storage-t3615882
Adoptable Storage in MM:
adb shell
sm list-disks
sm list-volumes all
sm set-force-adoptable true
sm partition disk:179,128 private (replace with mixed what number you want to be external, ie: mixed 80 will leave 80% of card as external, 20% internal)
sm set-force-adoptable false
sm list-volumes all
NOTE:
The fourth command partitions your SD card, and may take 2-3 minutes (or longer) to complete, depending on the size of your card. plus make sure you have a reliable and fast SD Card.
Disconnect your phone from the USB cable and reboot it.
The reboot is crucial.
Your phone may (or may not) take a bit longer to boot this time.
Once your phone is fully booted, tap Settings > Developer Options and disable USB Debugging, clicking “OK” to any messages that may appear.
Go to Settings > Storage & USB and tap your SD card.
Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner and choose “Migrate data”.

"How to split your card
WARNING: Before you do this, be sure to eject the card from the Settings/Storage & USB menu.
I found how to partition my SD card to give 8G as internal storage to which all apps that can be moved will be moved and leave ~20GB as portable storage to hold music, etc.
First, you need adb working, and your SD card inserted and formatted as portable.
$ adb shell sm list-disks adoptable
is my SD card that can be made adoptable, I want 90% as external SD:
$ adb shell sm partition mixed 90
Note: Your card may be listed with an underscore _ instead of an underscore, e.g. in which case, that is what you type.
This erases the entire SD card, and then gives me 90% as portable storage and the rest as adopted internal storage.
The partition table looks like this:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 57.5GB 57.5GB fat32 shared msftdata
2 57.5GB 57.5GB 16.8MB android_meta
3 57.5GB 63.9GB 6369MB android_expand
The fat32 partition is not encrypted and can be mounted on a computer (provided it can handle the new GUID partition table format).
I advise a reboot after setting the new music storage location this as Google Music may get the wrong idea about much space is available.
Rename the adopted storage. If it had the same name as the portable storage partition then it may prevent one of the partitions from being available over USB MTP."
