Last week, after rebooting my phone, I got a message in the notification tray that said "Damaged SD Card." My SD card was completely non-existent, as far as the phone was concerned. I plugged the phone into my computer and mounted USB storage. The drive showed up, but myy computer told me that the drive needed to be formatted (no data existed). I feared that I had lost all of my data. I decided to go for a hail mary and booted into CWM recovery, mounted the sdcard as USB, and run a "chkdsk /r" on the drive from within windows. It took over 2 hours to complete (32GB card), but all of my data came back! It's been about 5 days, and I haven't noticed any corruption of any kind.
I don't know what caused it initially, but I am sure glad I was able to recover it. I thought I'd post this here in case anyone else ran into the same issue. I know some of this info is posted elsewhere, but most threads involved a data recovery software.

I've experienced this problem before too after i kinda just tossed my phone up in the air and caught it (I do this when in bored). And I guess the impact with my hand was too much for the SD card slot, because then it said the SD card was damaged. All I did was take the card out, kinda blew on it like a Nintendo cartridge, and reinserted. It worked fine, and still til this day.

I tried removing/reinserting mine and had no luck... But that is definitely something that you should try first!

honestly I had the same thing happen but I fixed it a lot quicker.
If you ever have that issue again go to your into storage and it should say mount sd. Hit that and let the phone do the rest.

It can happen from a bad kernel as well. I had my SD card wiped out twice during kernel testing on my OG Epic. If you are a flashaholic, its good to backup that SD on your PC every once in a while just in case stuff happens. Corrupt files and such can cause it too

This happened after I returned to calk's ROM from that ics build that was floating around before repo went private. I used chkdsk too to recover

I keep getting a warning on the top of me screen saying "SD card removed. Please insert new one"
This happen after trying to delete my MIUI content from my SD card through Astro. When I clicked delete it took some time the said "error while deleting " then I got this message.
I pulled the battery, and put it back in. SD card was read fine. As I was navigating through Astro again I got the SD card message again. I tried pulling the battery but nothing.
I've looked around on several site trying to find what's wrong with no luck.
I was trying to free up some new space to swap Rome again. I was on MIUI, then came to HTCclay.
My SD card is a 4gb sandisk(I think) cheap o from Walmart.
Any help would be nice. I don't have a computer with me right now, but my SD card is able to be read in recovery (although when I click on things it says "file not found" but labels are there) and it can be read on a friends phone.
I have since wipes my SD card in hopes of it working, but all that did is make me lose all my pics and music.
Any help and a fast response would be appreciated.

Its so odd that I can see all the content in recovery, but it says file not found when I try to open anything. But I can not see any content when I turn my phone on.

If your phone wont read any sdcards then its your phone. Anychance you got some dirt in there? You could try blowing it out real good or taking your old card cleaning it off real good then slide it in and out a few times. Also i would try doing a factory reset, if that dont work try wiping and flashing new rom. If none of those work then you got a broke phone. There was a website floating around that had all the parts for the vision. However i think that part is attatched to the mainboard..... So you might be better off getting a new phone. Thats worst case though hopefully one of the first things will fix it. Good luck!

Well that's what I thought, but my phone can read the content in recovery so its got to be the program right?
Well this is where it gets very odd.
I had an old 542mb memory card from an old phone in a small case with some old pics on it and was swapping out my wife's 1gb card to view the pics. But the case broke and I had know safe way of keeping the 1gb card from my wife's phone so I popped it into my phone for the time being.
I played on her phone looking at old pics and what not. Then just so happen to look down at my phone and did not see the "you have a bad SD card" thing. I went to gallery and all her pics where there.
I went and grabbed my 4gb card (the original card that stopped working on me) and put it in my phone ......and nothing.
Had a small hope...lol.
Well my wife wanted to use my 4gb SD card, so we put it into her phone (some super cheap Samsung not even a smart phone). I jokingly said "watch it work in my phone now....lol"
Put it back in my phone and............bam working again.
I'm not sure what happen. If anyone can explain that would be nice. My SD card was put into several smart phones witch they all where able to read and use the card. After it was always put back into my phone with no luck. Now we put it into my wife's phone and it works again.....hmmmm. wish I would have not deleted all my songs,pics,backups,and documents......but oh well got my card back.
Sorry for such a long thread , just trying to put every little thing down.
Sent from my Htcclay's SuperCM7 G2 using XDA App
because it is happening randomly and the only constant is that the card in question at any given moment works in other devices i would blame your phone. If it works in recovery try a factory reset or flash an older backup to see if that fixes it. Also take a toothbrush with pure alcohol and give the contacts a cleaning. a rubber eraser works too just blow out the dust afterwords.
p.s. Sandisk is not a cheap brand of sd's theya re generally regarded one of the better and more reliable brands if not the best.
Ill clean it even though its working.
If it happens again ill try to swap out the rom, but I did do a factory reset. Was one of the first things I did.
Sent from my Htcclay's SuperCM7 G2 using XDA App
Its possible that putting the card in your wifes phone cleaned the contacts some. Its also possible that while you phone was able to read the directory of the disk without being able to read the files themselves. I know they are stored seperatly but i dont know if jits a specific contact on the card itself. That might explain why you could see the files in recovery. Im just taking guesses here but hey it makes sense in my mind.

Ok. This is the weirdest thing ever. My mom phone was stock. She didn't really do much. All of a sudden her phone started rebooting. It just reboots out the blue. She doesn't have any unusual apps either.
A factory reset didn't do anything, so Sprint is going to give her a replacement. It'll be here Friday. So in the mean time I decided to root it to see if that would fix the problem, but it didn't. It's still rebooting.
What could be causing that problem? I rooted, and put on Blazer 4.1 GB ROM. I'm about to try an ICS ROM to see if that would help. What's strange is that even after changing the ROM, the problem persisted. I'm guessing it's hardware related?
Its just the phone . That happened to my sisters e4gt. Started rebooting. All stock. Took it into sprint. And they gave her a replacement. Now it doesnt happen.

Update: So I flashed an ICS ROM and it's not rebooting. I think I found the culprit. My mom's SD card that came with the phone wasn't reading on my computer. So I was using another one I had. I forgot to switch them out when the phone booted, but now the phone seems to be ok.
I put the SD card in my phone and my phone wouldn't read the SD card and also it went into Kernel Panic Upload Mode. So I'm guessing there's a problem with the SD card. Glad I found that out. LoL!!

You should back up/move whatever files you want on that sd card to your computer and then try formatting it and check if it still causes issues.

This is an issue with our ET4g. I have this issue and found many others in other forums do too. I have found many reasons that people suggested the caused; battery, rom, SDcard, wifi, or and apps... There are many suggestions to also limit the reboots. For me, when it reboots, I make sure wifi is off or turn it off and let it start up normally. One suggested to take out sdcard when it boots up, and then insert it after it booted. I wonder if the S2 bug has anything to do with it.

When I got my E4GT I took the sd card out of my HTC Hero and put it in this phone. It worked ok for a day or two, then I started getting reboots and frozen screens. Someone in the forums suggested pulling the sd card which I did and the phone was happy again. I backed up the files on the card and reformatted it while in the S2. Never had another problem.
Blank SD card.(unsupported file system)
i try re-format it. but after awhile the problem just keep coming back.
i think the problem is the phone ( XPERIA ION OF CAUSE ) is putting something inside that cause it to have problem.
Note: i format it...(start from clean)
put some video inside. ( cause it happen before so i don't want to put a lot of things )
works fine for about a day?

Are you formatting the card with the phone or in your computer? Have you tried you phone with a different card? Maybe you have a damaged phone, same goes for the card. I got a 64 GB card for my phone, and had to format it with the phone before being able to use it, after that I haven't had any trouble. The only thing is that every time that I connect my phone through USB to my PC (Win7), it tells me the card is damaged and gives me the option of scanning and fixing it or ignore it. I choose ignore, but it a bit annoying to do it every time.

Your phone came with a memory card?! Mine didn't.
Back on topic, I have had similar issues. I found that is I keep the phone in mass storage mode, and dont allow the internal memory to connect to the computer my issue goes away. I have ICS installed. So long as my internal memory does not connect, my issue has not come back. Give that a shot and see if it works for you as well.

I had this issue once with my OG Dinc. The card just stopped working in the phone but still works fine in the computer to this day. I would bet on your card being faulty.
As for the Ion sd card I feel cheated as mine came with a 4gb card. ?? Got it at Boo Buy also. Lucky for me I had just picked up a 8gb card for another Dinc I acquired.
I too, have the same problem. I have to reformated my card a few times since I got the phone (just about a month). My card is fine, but after using a while, it became unuseable even in my computer. Reformat it, everything's fine but a week later, it came back! I'm on 2.3.7.

Could just be the card. I've had bad ones from the start, had good ones go bad, etc..
I have a generic card that would not work at all unless it was put in to an adapter, and then only sometimes. I've since put it into my Zoom H2 recorder where it seems it's the only place it wants to work full time.
I personally won't buy any off brand SD cards anymore, Sandisk only for me, have yet to have one of these crap out yet.
Make sure you are unmounting the phone in windows before you unplug it. That is what corrupted my card on my incredible.

Probably is the card though, I've had similar issues in the past, none with Ion though. Sdcards can be rather fickle and hidden files can get stuck on there much like on a flash drive. I have a box full of flash drives that are irreparable.
Try replacing the card first. Also I usually let Windows repair mine when it asks. Seems to help. eb

This has been the second time getting this error on SG3.
The first time I checked if the card was corrupted by putting the sdcard in the netbook, it was recognized and displayed all the folders. Inserted the card again in the SG3 and it wasn't recognized, rebooted into recovery and fixed permisions and cleared cache/dalvik and rebooted. The card was back up and everything was ok.
Again happened today, tried the same thing and nada Now it also says "Sdcard blank or unregonized file system" in notification and it then prompts for format confirmation upon tapping it.
I've googled and oogled and keep finding different solutions, some I cannot try now since I'm at work. One of them suggest to move all files to PC and format the card, I'll give that a shot at home and see. Another was to update the firmware, but on the latest L13... Apparently, this has been ongoing for sometime and there is an open issue in google for this.

I'm researching like a mad man! Found a few tools but most are for HDD and not microsd... found the one below that is supposed to detect the card/drive even if it's not mounted or has a drive letter and revover the file system, repair partitions, recover ALL file types, etc but nada
Had a few important fotos, my most recent nanroid, my TB folder, that last one hurt the most.
I didn't back up after the first "fix" cause I thought it was a one time things, never heard of this error before. Lesson learned

If your computer can see it and you don't mind losing data do a low level format on the SDcard

Apart from the info already here, nope...

Yes and no...It was stated by some members that there was a write-up saying that you shouldn't format your card because this would deduct part of it's useful life.
I never formated my card, it was inserted as soon as I bought the phone and been using it since and never formated it.
I'm going tonight to Wal-Mart and getting a card reader and seeing if that helps in fixing this. In an earlier post I attached a link to an old thread that gives a solution that seems to have helped others.
FYI, just got back from the store and it is definitely failure of the SD card reader. They tested it and my new phone comes tomorrow.

Sprint store? How did they determine it?
I used another sdcard that I had, 8GB, and the phone read it ok...
Edit - then does this mean that there might be a factory reset on the card reader in the SG3? :/
all they told me was that they inserted another card and it happened. Mine also fried two cards so far, so it is definitely pretty bad and i was confident it would fail any test they gave it.

Been reading this thread, having the same issue.
Actually the only reason I post because I'm troubled of the error other then having an actual problem, this error been spawning up for me for quite a while, though it does seem to work perfectly fine.
You think the SD card could just Die one day ?
I hope you guys could determine if there's a factory defect in the SG3 or the Card, I got the international GT-i9300, I hope i won't have to return it, since the shop it was bought from is located at Poland and I live in israel (let's say that handling via warranty is not an option).
Need to check perhaps with samsung if they know of any factory defects regarding microSD card readers, My SDcard brand is Sandisk 32GB ultra class 6.
I fixed mine by completely removing the battery and putting in sd card then boot up. Sounds dumb but it worked.

I am running freegs3 newest version with stock kernel. I was showing a buddy some pics that were stored in my sdcard...a 32gb pny class 10. Everything was fine then I went to pull up another pic and phone started acting up...wouldn't pull up pics...finally got back to home screen. Tried to get to pics again no go. Got an ongoing message in notification screen saying something about new sdcard or unsupported files. Idk what happened but suspect my sd card. Anyone had this happen? Any recommendations?

well got home and put it into my adapter and laptop. It recognized the card, but said it was corrupted and needed to be reformated. i reformated it cuz I really didnt lose much except for a few pics. oh well... guess ill just be careful for a while and monitor it cuz the card is about 1 1/2-2 years old.

Well shouldn't matter the age, as long as its taken care of. When you remove it, do you unmount it, or just remove it?
