Hello guys,
How are we all?
I have a little problem with deleting files from my SD card on my Imac. Every time I delete a file it's like it hasn't actually been removed. It appear's in my Trash can but alas I cannot put any more files on it. It keep's telling me it's full, which is isn't! I've tried emptying my Trash can whilst the card is still plugged in but to no avail.
I'm hooking my Desire up through usb and connecting it to the SD card, I can't understand what's going on. Anyone else have a Mac and have this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I reformatted my sd card by mistake and now when I plug my phone into the usb charger the only thing that happens is it starts charging. I get no options. Did I delete my drivers? If so how can I fix this?
Thanks
Go into settings/connect to pc/make sure that ask me is check.
Tried
I tried this but I do not have that option on my phone I am running cyanogen mod ,, any other ideas?
Do you have an sd adapter? see what files you have in the sd card.
I dont have an sd adapter.. but, i am pretty sure everything got erased when I reformatted the card.
okay. take the battery out off the phone than put it back. the phone should install an android secure file when you turn it on.
I have tried at as well. but, i think because i am running cyanogenmod its stopping it from installing the file. is there a way to update my rooted phone with this file?
I was wondering if another Desire user could help me out. I had a bit of a problem with my phone and had to switch it off and remove my micro sd card, but when I plugged it into my computer with an adapter there was no useful information on it for me to get back. This either means that this is standard and the micro sd card can only be read properly when the sd card is in the Desire and then plugged in. Or that my sd card has an error.
Could someone please help with this and let me know what files they can see when they put their micro sd card into their computer directly.
The picture is what I see.
Run Checkdisk (chkdsk) then file restoring software, to recover your files.
Then Re-format the card. Happened to me once, everything got meesed up. Re-format helped.

Checkdisk isnt a recovery software, but I ran it already, and I tried the recovery program but I cant seem to be recovering anything but more useless information, I dont know if the data is lost or if its still on the card but only readable through the desire itself.
Can someone please do what I said in my original post and let me know what they can see with just the micro sd card in the computer
Thanks
CHKDSK is scans for harddrive damage and it DOES recover the files, but with the .chk extension.
These are the files on my SD:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
If thats the case then thanks for letting me know.
I ran chkdsk like this.
Plugged in the micro sd card in the computer, went to my computer and right clicked the SD card, clicked properties, went to tools and then error checking.
Selected both the check for system errors and scan for bad sectors. Started it and 2 seconds later it closes and doesnt actually do anything taht I can see. I go back to the sd card and still nothing has changed.
Where should it be putting the recovered .chk files?
Cant wond scan via windows, so i did it by cmd. Said it couldnt convert threads as there is no room. So I'm guessing I have to format it first. I hope this doesnt get rid of my files permanently, I didnt have any other copies of my contacts or anything, and phone is completely broken.
i just flashed ARHD 5.1.11, when i drag and drop some files from my sd card to the pc, it works. but when i drag and drop back from pc to the sd card which is in my dhd connected by usb, i got the 'the device is not ready' error message. and the pc cannot locate my sd card anymore though phone still shows im connected in disk drive. the error message only appears when i tried to transfer files larger than 1mb. i tried rebooting pc and dhd, google for help, change usb port, re-flash ARHD 5.1.11, tried another pc. no luck. can someone please help me on this matter? thanks!
Bump for help

i've tried that. but it can't solve the problem. i've inserted the memory card to a card reader and transfer files and it work. so i don't know what's wrong with my phone.
Same problem here, Incredible S
Nobody found a solution to this problem yet? I just realized I'm having the same problem with my HTC Incredible S ("the device is not ready" error while in the middle of transferring big files from PC to phone).
Could it be just an HTC issue? I also remember Desire HD having lots of other SD card issues (mainly SD card suddenly unrecognizable / unmounted at random times, sometimes requiring reboot).
so, I've encountered problems transferring files to the removable sd card, when i try to copy something it indeterminately sits on "discovering" and in the mean time it crashes explorer ( not internet explorer) and also the phone completely freezes and has to be restarted. same happens when i try deleting stuff out of the sd card from windows and mac as well.
the same does not happens to the internal memory. And so far this is what i have done to see if it fixes the problem:
tried a couple different sd cards- did not work (was able to get rid of some files, but then it just went back to do the same)
tried it on mac os and windows, same thing, it crashes finder/explorer.
so i was thinking, could be related to anything software? or maybe my sd card slot is shot? the computers and the phone itself recognizes the sd card no problem, so that's why i think it might be software related.
Anyhow, so i was wondering if anyone could shed some light my way ? :good:
thanks alot!
EDIT: if i reboot to the recovery and mount from there it seems to work and transfer files with no problem whatsoever....
Have you tried changing the connection to MTP?

edit: no never mind, now it says something along the lines of windows cannot identify the device connected.
Hey guys and girls!
This morning my phone turned off by itself (13% battery left) and needed somewhat longer than usual to reboot (in the meantime I plugged it back in to the charger). First thing I noticed was that my whole theme got reset as well as it started showing me introductional tips ("long press here to move your apps to the homescreen, ecc.). It also started to update apps in the Play Store even though I set it to manual ... so basically a LOT of things were reset.
The biggest problem I'm having now is though that all my files (pictures, videos, music) that are stored on an external micro SD card are corrupt. It's not possible anymore to open anything. I already removed the micro SD card and put it into an adapter to have a look at the files via the laptop. But nothing, even though the sizes of the files seem OK, I can't open them.
Does anyone have a clue as to what exactly happened here? Are those files lost (at least of some I have a backup) or is there anything I can do to "repair" them? Help is really appreciated, thanks!
PS: Things like the card unmounting and re-mounting never occurred. So I can't tell if the card was dying or if actually the phone ruined my files.
Did you happen to be using a SanDisk SD Card? I've had my 10 brick 2 of those until I switched to Samsung SD Cards about a year ago and haven't had issues since.
I never could manage to recover files from the damaged SD cards.
I have a Samsung SD card and had something similar.
I guess I was on Viper Rom and basically my phone restarted around 15-20% of battery. After a long wait for booting back again, all my settings were gone.
Files and others in the SD card was okay but basically until I formatted the card, I wasn't able to boot into the Download Mode to install a new rom...
I fixed the restart issue by installing the official HTC Rom.
Thanks for your replies.
It is indeed a SanDisk 16GB card. It seems though that the card is still working (no problems accessing it via phone or laptop), just the files appear to be broken. In the meantime I also tried apps like PC Inspector File Recovery, but to no success
I'm still on stock HTC Sense by the way, no root, nothing.
Anyone know though why that happened (resetting everything, etc.)?
Hit me with a PM I'll give you a SanDisk restore tool which works quite ok. there is a huge chance some files can be recovered, some will be damaged though. Don't push any new files on the card after you tried to restore the files
HTC 10-Corrupted microSD card
I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if there is a solution. I have an HTC 10 which has an micro SD card in it, that is "married" to the phone. When connected to a computer, the computer recognizes the phone, and the microSD card, and begins to load the folders/files. Eventually this process stalls, and the phone/drive is no longer readable by the computer. To get the computer to recognize the phone/card again, I need to restart the phone, but the same thing happens again.
I have like 20gigs of data on the card, and cannot just put the card in a reader, because it's encrypted to the phone. Any possible solutions? It's frustrating to see the files/pictures for a minute or two, and then have them disappear. I have tried copying/pasting the files while they're visible, but this often triggers the computer to no longer recognize the phone/memory card. I've tried to un-encrypt the microSD card, but the phone can't recognize/access the microSD card long enough to complete that process.
Please help if you can.
