SD Card Corrupted, How To Format?

I was uploading some music onto my phone and I got the message:
"The SD card has an unexpected problem. Tapping to recover it."
I'm not exactly sure how to fix this as I can't mount it so I can't see it on my computer to format it either.
Any ideas?
Oh and also the only working computer right now I have is a Mac :[
Edit: Nevermind, I plugged my SD card into my Vibrant and back into my G2. It works fine now..
This happened to me with my nexus. Since we dont have a custom recovery it obvioulsy wont work with your G2. But when that happened to me, Amon's recovery with USB mode enabled was the only way I could get my mac or pc to see the sd card. Do you have a rooted phone with a custom recovery you could try on? Preferably, Amon's.

had the same problem... i connected the sd card directly into my MacBook Pro (micro to SD converter) and formatted it into Fat from the Disk Utility. See if you can mount the SD Card while connected via USB
Same thing happened to me this morning...I physically took the card out cleaned it off and reinserted it...don't know if its the same problem but maybe it will help.

Fixed the problem by just sticking into my friend's Vibrant then seeing how it worked fine on his phone I put it back in mine.
does anyone know what actually causes this?

[Q] cannot get into disk drive of evo

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?

[Q] USB and SD not recognized

Need a way to access internal memory so I can fix my usb or sd card see following for information:
Short Version:
USB wont work and SD card wont work so I cannot use the following method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Long Version:
So right after i had backed up my rom i did a wipe, then the phone stopped recognizing my sd card. I took it to Sprint they couldn't figure it out, so i was stuck in Bootloader. yesterday i did a hard reset and wa-la i can now use my phone ...sorta. It will turn on I can access everything, but it freezes up and shuts off after 40 seconds (i got it to stay for 2mins one time) also it still will not recognize my sd card. I tried other cards still no luck and I know my card works because I can use it in my laptop. So i did a little searching on xda and found a fix, but i cant do the fix unless i plug my phone into the laptop and run a cmd prompt well now here is the other problem my computer sees the phone (listed as My HTC) but my phone wont recognize that it is plugged in. It will charge when it is shut off thats about it. Well back to xda and there is a fix for the usb, but.... I need my phone to recognize my sd card because the files will be on it. In short to fix my sd card i need usb and to fix the usb i need my card I am stuck in a horrible loop, so what I need is a way to access my phones internal memory so I can install the usb files on it so that i can fix usb then my card, then recover my rom.
Thanks to wall who help or at least try
Im not totally sure if this will help, but i know you can mount the sd card as usb storage in Amon_Ra and also in settings under "storage" or so i believe there are settings for mounting and unmounting the Micro Sdcard check those, it should be mounted in the settings for your phone to see it. hope i helped
I just had this exact same problem. Nandroid, wipe, flash, then stuck in bootloader spent two days trying fixes, unroot, root, and,had to turn it in. Luckily best buy has an awesome warranty.

thanks all... ended up replacing my phone, but if anyone ever finds a way to fix it let me know! Thanks again
I was really hoping that this thread would not dead-end. I've got what sounds like a similar issue...in addition to not being able to reformat my SD card (in Windows or in Android) due to it being detected as write-protected, but it's not write protected.
I'm really anxious to try the aforementioned thread to fix USB and SD, but I can't detect, mount, or format my SD card. Am I screwed?
*EDIT* Fixed the write-protection issue...working on the rest now.
*EDIT* Still can't format card through Android. Is there an ADB or fastboot command to format the SD card?

Not reading micro sd card anymore

I have a 32gb sd card that i have had in the phone since i got it (in july), been working fine. all the sudden while i was on twitter a notification popped up saying the card had been removed. so i took the back off, removed it and put it back in, it wouldnt read the card. took it back out, turned the phone off, turned it back on and when it was back on i reinserted the card, it said card inserted, then never mounted it.
i took the card out and put it into a card reader on my computer and it worked great.
any ideas on what else i can try?
stock rom, rooted. if that helps.
anyone?
If it isn't detecting on your phone, try plugging it via usb->microsd adapter or sd. If windows doesn't detect then the card is probably dead.
Pull everything you want to keep off the card, reformat with yourcomputer, put it back in your phone. Should detect it then. Same thing happened to me on cwm6.0.1.4 touch.

What does it say in Settings -> Storage?
I had similar experience recently with 64gb card after attempting format it to FAT32 on computer. I wrecked the card and it become totally useless, but the symptoms where similar, except it would show me "empty card" message and attempts format it on phone would "succeed" yet would not mount, keep showing "empty card"...
If you have another card, you could test with it, if it works, then perhaps format on computer could fix it.

I wish people would read complete post before replying...
i dont have another card to test.
the card works great on my computer, just not in phone.
when its in the phone it just keeps popping up n the notifications saying "SD card is safe to remove" 5 min after i get rid of the notification, it comes back.
i got a message on my phone asking me if i want to reformat it (i had already copied everything from it to my comp for a back up) so i did that, but it didnt work.
I will try reformatting on my computer.
Try a factory reset and reformat the SD to FAT32 or just use the phone to do it.

All files on external SD card corrupt after unexpected shutdown

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.
Glenn
