SD card woes

Hi,
Seen various SD card problems posted here and other forums but no solutions.
A few nights ago I was transferring a large number of files to my Desire and noticed the transfer windows froze so I disconnected my phone. When I then tried to turn the screen on it wouldn't turn on (though the led kept blinking). I eventually had to restart the phone by removing the battery.
Upon restarting I got an error saying the SD card was corrupted and needed to be formatted. Tried restarting again etc but didn't work so clicked on 'format' in the pop-up but nothing happened even after several attempts. Then tried doing this through the settings menu but again didn't work.
Gave up. Wake up next morning and phone screen won't come on again. Took out battery again and still had memory card problem so connected to pc and formatted card on there. I think after this the card started working again but WITH ALL THE DATA STILL ON IT. No idea how!?
This morning after 4 days working fine I connect phone to pc to transfer music and don't get an option to mount USB so I unplugged and get a new SD card error: blank SD card. SD card blank or has unsupported file system. So tried everything I tried last time but this time I can't mount the card so I can't access it on a pc to format it.
Anyone had similar problems on here? Seems to have happened to quite a few on Android forums etc. Any suggestions? Have tried putting card in and out several times. Have tried SD mount widget. Getting pretty desperate here.

had exactly the same issue you had the second time, posted, found no fix.
Using a spare sd card I had in it's place, my phone registered it as blank again the next day! It was a reboot job though and it has been fine since..
Would like to get to the bottom of this before a blow a decent sized card

I have had many many bizzare and quite frankly random SD card errors with this phone. Nearly one everyday doing something. Most of them read the same SD card missing, needs formatting, is empty or corrupted notifications. The latest one occurred 5 mins back on reinstalling NewsRoom app -- suddenly left with a totally empty SD card when trying to save RSS to it. As in every case, an immediate reboot fixed the error so I can't offer any more help.
Whenever I've had the "needs formatting" error I removed the card for a few mins before replacing it back inand it worked fine thereafter.

I've just tried leaving the card out for a few minutes with the phone off and reinserting to no avail. Tried restarting lots of times
Going to try another SD card now. Most people on other forums had problems with their stock 4gb cards whereas mine is an 8GB card i got separately. I think it's the phone at fault not the cards.
**Update** The other SD card is working fine so far. But i'm now left with a screwed up 8gb card that's not recognised by any pc. Any suggestions of how to fix this?
If my 4gb card is screwed up by the phone too i'll let you all know

Damaged SD Card Notification - Just Appeared And With Multiple Cards

Hi All,
I'm starting to get annoyed with my Desire with the little problems which are starting to appear!
Today - all of a sudden I got a notification to say "Damaged SD Card" so I took the card out and put it back in but that didn't work.
I then took it out and put it in an adapter on my computer and it sees all the files in it, so I'm trying to copy them across so I can reformat the card.
But I tried a different card in the Desire, the one that came with the phone and it has the same error!
I hard resetted the phone (which annoyed me because my SMS backup doesn't start until midnight!) tried both cards again and still the same error!
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks for your help in advance

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try reformatting with the desire, and not the pc!

Also make sure your card is class 4 minimum I had the problem on my hero with class 2 where it kept corrupting. Now have class 4 had no problems

[Q] Perm rooted g2... now having sd card errors?

I've perm rooted with visionary.... now for some reason when i go to use camera or load anything off the sd card it says its read only. so it remounts it and again the same thing? any ideas?

Your SD card is probably on the way out.
I had the same thing on my DZ. A couple of times when I got the same error as you, I copied all the files off the SD and reformatted it in my PC. Usually I'd get errors whilst trying to copy the files.
After reformatting and copy the files back it'd be OK for a few days then the problem would reoccur.
Finally I bought a new card and everythings been fine since... Touch wood.

[Q] SD Card Issues

Hi all...
I have tried searching and tried all the possible solutions that have come up so wondering if anyone can help..
My DHD is rooted and running Synergy RC2, I've just got it back from repair after having to get a new screen put on. Before having it repaired the SD card was working fine, whilst it was away I was using a Blackberry, I had formatted the SD... I got the phone back on Saturday put the memory card in and it didn't recognise it at all.
At first I thought it was a hardware issue that could have occured whilst it was being repaired, but when the phone is in HBOOT it searches the sd card for PD98IMG... I put PD98IMG onto the sd card and it finds this and parses the file but nothing else happens. Clockwork mod cannot find the SD card nor can the system...
I've tried using fast boot and running 'fastboot oem qxdm 0' but it doesnt help me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? It's driving me insane!
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried formatting it again? Fat32, and maybe can try checking for bad sectors with scan disk.

Sorry I should have said this in the original post..
I have tried formatting it again and I have tried a number of different cards...
It's just confusing me how it works in the boot loader but no where else.
