So I have an Incredible that I recently rooted and then I got the phone replaced. I put the SD card in the new phone and all of my pics are not there. When I put the SD card back in the old phone, they are there.
When I plug the phone in it does not give me the two physical drives, just the ability to mount the SD card.
Any help you can provide to get these images off the phone would be GREAT!!!!!
Take all the content off the sd card and put it on your computer. Format your sd card to fat32 then place everything back onto your sd card.

I'm in a world of hurt and hoping someone has a solution for me!
I took my SD Card out of my phone & plugged it into my laptop. I then took all the files from my SD card and dragged them into a folder. Next I deleted those files from the SD card so I could use it for another purpose.
After I finished this process I got rid of what I had put on the SD card for the other purpose & dragged all the Android files from that temp folder back to my SD card.
Now my phone won't recognize my SD card. The card will not mount and when I boot my phone I get a message that says "blank SD card". When I click on that message it prompts me to reformat my SD card and warns me that everything on it will be lost.
So what I'm wondering is: can I reformat the card, plug it back into my laptop, drag the files back to the SD card and all will be well?
Or is there something else I need to do?
Or am I screwed?
I even tried a CWM restore...but the restore is on the SD card so that obviously isn't an option.
At any rate, I really need some help here and I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance and direction for me.
Thanks!

Yes, format the card inside the phone then put everything back on it.
Do you BONSAI?
Worked great!
I have a big problem and am wondering if anyone can help me. My evo won't read my sd card. Is there a way I can unroot without using my sd card?
Is it the evo or is it the SD card?
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
It's definitely the microsd card. I put the microsd card into the sdcard adapter and put it into my laptops memory slot and could open it up. I need to unroot it to take it back to the sprint store to get a new one.

If it's "definitely the microSD card" then why would you need to unroot your EVO? Sprint is not going to give you a new EVO for an SD card problem. If anything, they will simply exchange the SD card. Of course, I'm only speculating. Anyway, if you're certain it is the SD card and can read it from your laptop, how about copying the contents of the card onto your laptop and then repartition and reformat it via your laptop. Afterwards, copy the contents back to your SD card, reinsert it in your EVO and reboot.
sorry meant to say definitely not the sd card.
No problem.......Still, I would copy the contents of the card to the laptop and then repartition and reformat it. Afterwards, I would copy the files back to the card and reboot the EVO. Also, connect your device to your laptop, boot into recovery, select the MS-USB option and see if you can see the card from your laptop. If you can, download the SECOND file from this link -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=884060 -- copy it to your SD card and flash it from within recovery.

Hopefully someone can help. my EVO rebooted this morning and when it came back, it can not find any of the programs that were moved to the SD card. they are all there as I can read ALL the files if I take the SD card and put it into my PC. I just copied the files off, reformatted the SD card and put everything back. HOWEVER, it still doesnt see the apps on the SD card. how can I fix this?
Thanks ...
What's the best way to switch out your sd card without losing any of its contents. My best guess would be to:
1) Copy contents of old sd card onto your hard drive
2) Remove old sd card
3) Format new sd card
4) Copy contents of old sd card from hard drive to new sd card
Am I missing anything? I've read that FAT32 is recommended over exFAT? Has anyone heard different? Also, is it better to format the card using your PC or should I just format the card in my S3?
Hi,
I recently switched from an 8gb sdcard to a 16gb sdcard. I put everything from the 8gb on my computer hard drive, safely unmounted via storage in settings, then just popped the new one in, not messing with format or anything. a month later and I'm doing fine.
Hope this helps
I would recommend formatting the sdcard in a PC, if possible
If not, then do it through your phone
And yes, the procedure you have laid out is perfectly fine
Hey guys. Can someone please give me a how to on switching my data from my old SD card to my new SD card. My old card is still good, I'm just putting in a 16g card in place of my 8g card. Thanks..Phil

Usually the fastest is if you have a card reader on your pc.
If not connect your phone to your pc and copy everything off. Then swap the sd card and copy the files back, don't turn off your phone. just take off the back and hold the battery in place.
