[Q] Bad SD card after rebooting the phone (HELP!!!!)

Hello I have a big problem hope somebody can help me.
I have a 16g micro sd card. RA Recovery 2.2,
this is what happened:
I rebooted the phone in to recovery wipe everything in order to install a new rom I had just downloaded, after I wiped I try to install from sd card and I got a message saying that the card could not be mounted.
So I plug the phone on the computer turned on the USB-MS toggle, when I click on the sd card on the computer it tells me that the card is not formatted and ask if I want to reformat the card, If I click yes it brings me to the other screen but it tells me that the card is only 30.6mb and the card is 16g? it only gives me to option in the file system FAT or exFAT.
Can somebody help I really don’t want to lose the card
ps i have windows xp and windows 7 , the phone is running miui rom
Where did you get the card?

I believe you will end up formatting SD card (FAT) but if you have anything that you want to keep you can move that to your PC. After you format card and phone recognise and accept it, you can try move your stuff from PC back to SD. Again that just my opinion and I may be wrong... Before anything, try to take card out > start phone > turn phone down > insert card again.

I believe you can do that with older windows (XP), but is it necessary to do it ? FAT was just an example what I give to you. Why don't you format your card with phone using standard system?

[Q] Galaxy S3 and Computer don't see sd card

So i have a sandisk 32gb micro sd card im using in my galaxy s3. It has been working fine until this morning when my phone started saying sd card had been removed please enter a new one, or something like that. The sd card cannot be seen in TWRP or in any file manager. In recovery i tried to wipe the external card and it just says it cant mount the external card.
I would have thought this was a problem with my phone, but I also cannot see the card when i put it in my computer. Other sd cards work fine on my computer (i dont have another micro sd to test with) but my camera's sd card worked fine. Anyone have a solution? I would be willing to format my sd card, but i cant even access it anywhere.

I hate to say it, but it would seem that your SD card went tango uniform. If another card is being seen in the S III then it is down to that.

In Win7, plug your SDcard into the card reader.
Type diskmgmt.msc into search or run.
Do you see your messed up SDcard in there?
If yes, you can format it, name it etc.
If that fails, find an app online called Gparted. (needs to burn to a CD)
This app works at boot and has fixed my most stubborn drive issues.

CWM + My EXT SD CARD = No Fun

Well I have a new version of CWM Mod, and apparently when you format the sd-card, it no longer formats the inner sd card but your external sd card. I was really pissed as I lost all my data I had saved, but it also managed to screw up my sd card. Neither of my computers recognize my SD Card and I have no idea how I can go about restoring it. My phone can detect the sd card but it will say its corrupt randomly. So I'm guessing CWM formatted the card in a really screwed up way. Any suggestions brahs?
I'll even try to mount the sd card on CWM but it wont be able to mount it. It's a shame to waste a 32 gig sd card like this
Have you tried to format through the phone storage? Menu/settings/storage/format

Only gives me the option to mount or unmount the SD card
How old is the SD card? This phone is know for eating up the 32 GB cards. I had one for less than 3 weeks and it did the same. I use trwp but there is a thread about cards and our misfortunes with the 32 GB.

Make sure you card is not in exfat. CWM will not read cards in exfat, I had the same problem. If it is you are going to need to format it to fat 32. Most 32gigs sd cards and higher come in exfat now. You are most likey going to have to do it on the computer also it cant be done from CWM.

Yes but my computer won't even detect the SD Card. It was fine and dandy up until yesterday when I hit format on CWM on the SD Card thinking I was formatting the internal storage (since it's labelled /sdcard) but it formatted the actual SD. Windows won't detect my Micro SD and neither will my Mac. However if I put the SD card into my phone and connect via USB, it shows up.

You pressed format /sdcard, and it formatted your extsd? That's a pretty serious bug, so thanks for the heads up. What version of CWM are you running?
Op. I did the same thing a long time ago. I have gotten into the habbit of removing the sd card when I am formatting with a custom recovery. I also back up the sd to my pc and reformat the sd when changing roms. A bit off topic but I also wipe system before flashing a new rom. So far I have avoided many of the issues mentioned day after day. Maybe I am lucky but my wierd habits have been successful so far.

Did you manage to fix the problem though? Not to be rude but I'm looking for solutions towards this specific situation, not advice on what to do next time :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

5.8 something. It's weird because it allows for both internal and external SD use. When you backup the first open is to save to external then its internal. First version of CWM i've ever used with such an option.
For anyone wondering about a solution, I used an android 2.3 device which actually has a format option for the SD card and now my computers recognize it again. Life is good

[Q] SD Card Mounting too late

since few weeks i am observing with differents roms (KK ,JB, ICS all) the SD card after reboot is not getting mounted immediately, mostly it is taking about more than 5 minutes after boot, and also sometimes not mounting untill i click on an app which is installed is SD card.
and walkman also talking so many reboots to find media(songs) in SD card after new rom install.

Try with another card and see if the problem still persist.

format your card with minitool or easus and then try again. just connect your phone to your computer with the sd card in ums mode and format it to fat32 (if it is <=32 gb).
obviously you should backup the stuff on the card to your pc first ^^
