SD card 'died' possibly what to do??

Hey all, nothing that is SD card related can be found, used, played etc.."this has never happened to me and don't know what to do)if so what do I do?? Get another sd card and be fine or??? Bcuz I am thinking of replacing this g2 with another but since my sd card seems shot does that mean I can't or re-root because I don't have the contents that came with the root?? For example "busy box" heard that was important
Ps. I have backup roms but don't know how to put it on the what seems to 'dead' sd card.

Dude, you already started a thread on this; if you haven't gotten an answer yet, reposting a few minutes later isn't going to speed up a response!

Well excuse me.. surely didn't mean to 'troll' or annoy any cyber geek(you).. I simply re-worded my orginal question and hoped for better results.. Sorry for such a senseless crime..

Better results? Your original post was only up for a few minutes; if you wanted to re-word things for clarification you should have just edited your original post (afterall, having only been up for a few minutes, no one probably saw it yet anyway).
For future reference, take a look at the forum rules (in particular #5 and number 2.6): http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=829

Can you somehow connect your sd card to you computer and back up important data?
Then I would format the sd card and try it again...

Out of space with over 3gigs left??

Why am I getting an error when trying to restore my apps? I have more than 3 gigs still on my sdcard.. infact all storage locations have plenty of space left.. how do I fix this?

The developer section is not the correct one? What section do you suggest? And if you're a mod why don't you put it in the right section?

format sdcard.

There's a folder on the sd card called LOST.DIR try and see if there is a crap load of random files like 8082 938 etc and delete them all I had over 4gb+ of those worthless files

WOW wrong forum all together this is the epic4g not the touch I'm suprised the rep for sprint didn't even notice LOL Fail....

Yes this is not the Touch forum. But when you restore apps they go on your phone storage not your sd card. You should restore half of them and then move as many to sd card as you can then restore the other half.

What is that lost dir used for? What kind of files?

Its for lost/trash files when connecting to your computer and there really just trash so delete them if you got any

Actually most of those are corrupted files from you doing a battery pull or from your phone just spontaneously rebooting... I have recovered pics, music files, and all sorts of stuff from the lost.dir file...

That's odd I've never lost any pictures and have had that happen numerous times.. for the most part its trash from not unconnecting from your pc correctly..

Yep I've lost numerous pictures and sometimes half of an mp3 (never the whole mp3, I know weird right) but a lot of the stuff can be recovered if you know how... there was a thread on it I read somewhere, don't remember where though...

No, you back it up first then format then restore. But first, don't you have the Epic Touch? This is the OG Epic with the keyboard. That is what was originally meant by wrong section. Also your out of space message refers to phone memory not sd card memory. If you restore too many apps there is no room on phone memory for them all especially if there were a bunch moved to the sd card. This is why I suggested restoring half or so and move as many to sd card as possible then restore the rest.

thanks for that response, my bad on the thread, for some reason, I thought I was in the epic 4g touch thread..
Just to clarify though, even if when I look in my storage settings and all three locations have at least 3+ gigs available, this is my situation.. Its just confusing when I get that error, and check my storage and it says I still have plenty available..

You want to look at phone storage. I am reasonable sure the Touch only has 1GB for system and app storage.

About Nandroid Restore

So I had a White GS2 and the screen cracked. Today I received another white one from insurance. My question is after rooting the new one can I just insert my Mirco Sd card (which is where i usually save my Nandroid backups), and restore the data from the old phone to the new one? They are exactly the same phone.
I think it will work but i am still being careful.
So do it or not?
Thanks

How many apps are we talking about? How much customization? I don't think I would. Did you make titanium backups or use mybackupro? Have you synced with google? I always tell people to go for it. But I don't quite trust sd cards for this purpose. Someone please prove me wrong I'll have more ringtones etc.

If by nandroid you mean ClockWorkMod, than yes it will work, I have done it with many replacements.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I would say yes...I have also done this before when i had the sgs4g.
But all in all it is on you whether or not you want to do this.

There shouldn't be a.d. issues but just remember you assume all responsibility fur anything that happened to you phone
Let us know how it goes

I will rather use titanium back up to restore apps but not restore from CWM.
Backing up apps on google will give you apps only not data of it. So titanium is better option.
I have switch 3 phones using titanium backup.

[Q] Exchanged Phone. Will nand backup from previous phone work?

I searched for this answer, but couldn't find it. I had to exchange my galaxy already and I was wondering if my nand backup from my defective phone would work on my new one. Seeing as how they are the exact same and they are both the ones MFG in China. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Obviously after I'm rooted and have the recovery on there. Thanks for looking.

I just don't want to have to start completely over. If I have to then I have to, but if I can just do this then I will. I would rather get some feedback before I just jump into it and then have to exchange the phone again,lol.

In my experience u can. It's the same phone. U shouldn't have any issues

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it. I didn't think I would,but it's better to be safe than sorry. Thanks again for the quick reply.

No problem glad I could help
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

yes u can. i did it and had no problems. my nand was saved on my sd card not internal so i had no issues.

I backed up my nand backup from my internal and had no issues either. So if anyone else was wondering this, it does work. I've been using my backup for a full week now with no issues!!! Thanks again guys I really appreciate the quick replies!!!

[Q] best way to back up internal memory card?

Does anyone know of an app or anything that can make per say like flashable image of your internal memory? Just got my replacement today and it would take forever to use MTP to back it up.
I tried dd but don't have an external memory card big enough.
Unless I use my flash drive via OTG.
How would I go about flashing the image back to my new internal memory?
I also can use mkyaffs2image.
Just pondering some ideas guys. Thanks!
