Last night I went to flash a new ROM and first made a nandroid on the external SD card as I always do. I then cleared cache, dalvik system wipe and cleaned out the old ROM to start fresh and clean. The battery then fell out and I was unable to get the phone to see the external SD card (no ROM installed) and I wasn't able to install the new ROM via internal as there was no way to load a ROM onto internal memory. I eventually found a stock ROM and flashed it through ODIN. The phone is up and working 100% today; however with the process of the battery falling out/reboot now windows NOR the phone can discover the 16GB SandDisk card with all of my pics/videos/files and most importantly the NANDROID backup. I have other micro SD cards and readers and have tried them in the phone and my CPU without trouble... SO what can I do to "unbrick" that SD card... what did I do with my S3 that bricked the mircro SD card in the first place?
TIA

Good day all,
I am using a DHD
ROOTED
S-OFF, ENG-OFF
Clorkworkmod V5
Custom ROM: LeeDroid
Can i format my memory stick through my phone itself?
Will clockworkmod gets deleted through the process?
One of my bad past experience is when i formated the memory stick using a PC and when i put the stick back into the DHD, the phone refuse to boot. So can i assume it will be safe to reformat the SD card on the phone instead?
I've always done it by mounting the SD card when plugged via USB. Right click the removable disk and format. Always worked for me.
clockwork is on your phone Memory you cannot deleted by formatting your SD card
Hi,
I'm currently using Task's AOKP Rom and after performing a TWRP nandroid backup to my external sd card.. My external sd card started having problems. When I rebooted back to AOKP it showed an sd card error in the notifications asking me to reformat.
I've used this 32gb sd card for 4 months, installing various AOSP and TW JB roms with no problems at all. Yes, I wipe and flash everything correctly. This seemed to just happen randomly. I plugged my phone into my computer and it only shows my internal sd card available. When I go to mnt/extsdcard in file explorer, it shows no files.
Does anyone know a way to get my ext sd card working again? I'd like to get access to my files.
Thanks,
Tom
Update: it must just be my ext sd card... I plugged it into an adapter and it's not reading on my computer. My 8 gb version works fine but my 32 doesn't read at all. Any suggestions or is my sd card fried?
Ok. Here is the scenario. Was on stock rooted LCJ. SD card working perfectly there. I flash to MIUI after doing a totally clean wipe and I'm able to access the SD card via the rom and PC when I sync. I go into recovery and do a full wipe and then flash CM10 with gapps. CM10 loads up okay but i notice that i have a notification that the SD card is broken and I should try formatting it. I attempt to sync the phone to the pc via USB cable but only the internal storage will mount.
I go into recovery and confirm that TWRP can still see the contents of the SD card. Having confirmed that TWRP can see the SD card I do another full wipe and then restore my stock rooted LJC. However, after restoring LJC the SD card issue persist. The phone does an error check but it doesn't fix the issue. It recommends that I format the SD card which I don't want to do and don't know if it will work. I attempt to sync the phone to the PC with the USB cable (which has always worked) but only internal will mount. Go into recovery and the SD card's contents are still showing up.
Also, I have a Kingston Media reader which I pop the SD card into and connect to the PC. Even using this media reader the SD card is still not being seen and the PC says the card should be formatted. Basically the only damn thing that recognizes stuff on the SD card is TWRP.
Anyone have any good advice on this topic? BTW...I have a class 10 64GB sd card. As mentioned above I never ever had a problem with this thing. Have always mounted it to the PC w/o a problem and has always appeared on every rom I have ever tried until trying CM10 today.
41 views and not one person has any input? guess i'm going to have to format the card and hope that works. really sucks balls. wish i at least knew for sure what caused this problem.
had the exact same issue. I had just purchased a sandisk 64 gig the week before and when it happened I had a hard time believing it was the card that went bad. I had no luck recovering anything off of the card but did format it and it has worked fine since.

its not the card...............its the formatting of the card. it has to be formatted fat32 for it to be recognized in cm10. stock format is exFAT
I had the same issue with my SanDisk 64 GB drive. I went back to Synergy and the card is recognized in that ROM. I can't get CWM or TWRP to recognize the card though. I get an error whenever I try to access the card from recovery. It sucks that I have to put anything I want to flash on internal memory

You wouldn't happen to buy it from random sellers on ebay or amazon? If its not branded than its a fake sd card and won't work after reaching a certain amount of data on the card.
selling my G3, first formatted my 32GB external SD card (to Fat32), and then went into TWRP 2.8.6.0 to do a factory reset.
then removed the external SD and copied the CloudyRom.zip on it.
when i boot back into TWRP, i can see my internal SD card is wiped as needed, but TWRP won't recognise my external SD with the rom zip i need to flash.
how do i get TWRP to recognise my external SD or how do i get cloudyrom back on the phone again..#
any help is much appreciated!
