a microsd card 8GB class 4 came with my phone
today after I took a picture with the phone camera I forwarded to see but no sd card
I connected it to PC then the windows asked me to format ... I wondered the the card space became 30.6MB !!!!
and cannot be formatted .
I tried many ways to recover the sd card such as SDFormatter v3 , DriveRestore_Professional , EASEUS Partition Master , and more ... without benefit !!!
can any one explain what happened with the solutions if possible please
Try using the formatting option on your Phone, or you could try CWM to do it too.
Try doing what XD suggested, if that didn't work, try formatting with another pc
I tried to format using CWM and using 3 PC's (win7 & xp) without any benefit
That happened to me once.
if possible You have to connect the SD card directly in your computer (SD Adaptor or any SD card reader).
If you're using windows, you have to go to control panel--> Admins tools, and then go to disk partitions. There you have to identify your SD card on the list and eliminate all partitions that could be on your SD card. Then you have to create a new partition on that SD and the format it.
There you go.

I tried this more times but failing .......
Can you use or format another sd card? the purpose of this is to see whether it's actually the sd card that's at fault here

Faulty card, user error, who knows without some sort of log to determine why.

Maybe, maybe not, if it's not faulty then there's no reason why it wont, and if other users on the thread of whatever ROM, kernel or both you're using have reported the same issue then I don't see why it wouldn't. Given that you've already said that you've tried everything suggested I suspect it's a faulty card, but you're never going to know unless you try.
thanks anyway for you all
Format in linux You must of tried turn you sd card into ram thing or ext overload at lease it will tell you what is wrong with your sd

Can i buy this one for my device: TRANSCEND 8GB 8G Micro SDHC Card + SD Adapter Class 6 (eBay 19,89$)
...'cause is SDHC or any other sd what somebody can advice to me?
Put the sd in a card reader or connect it while the phone is in recovery and don't forget to mount the ext partition, then redo the partitions. This will wipe everything so if you want your data back you have to find it some other way.

Any advice how to get my data back?
In recovery there is a option called mounts and storage (or something similar) make sure you mount the fat and ext partition. If you don't see your data then you can try some sort of data recovery program.

Ok...I'll try something.
Thank you
Fix it with card reader but my data wasn't there
Said 3,15GB total (rest is ext3)
2,41GB free and 758MB used space...that means that my data is on sd card but I can't see it?!? Because I see just 4 folders which are empty (0 bytes)...what's with the other 758MB? Where they are?
I recoverd almost everything with PowerDataRecovery tool, but don't want to put it back to SD 'cause of this 758MB of used space...
Anyone have some idea what can I do? Before make another format...
ES file explorer doesn't work and SuperBox File Manager doesn't work...can't believe it!
Do I need to format SD card and loose my (hidden) data?

Is it formated fat32? I would use a pc to backup the files on the sd, and then format it fat32 with windows, and then copy the files back.

I have had to do this before and it normally fixes the problem. does your phone see other sd cards or do you only have the one?

One thing to also considered is that when using your SD Card through your computer make sure to 'safely eject' the device before unmounting your SD card, or it can lead to potential errors.
Glad to hear you got it fixed though.
Recently got my phone which runs through Kodoos and cant seem to find an answer online via HTC manual?
ive browsed several SDcard threads here on the forums and none seem to be covering my problem?
in the Settings/Storage menu:
Storage card:
Total space
Unavailable
Available
Unavailable
Make more space
*light grey and cant access*
Mount storage card
*light grey and cant access*
Erase storage card
*light grey and cant access*

[Q]: Is there a way to format this SDcard?
[Q]: is there a way to change the setttings whereas pics, music ,etc, can be directly sent to the SDcard?
[Q]: how do i access the SDcard when it wont let me into the card or it shows it is unavailable?
Try to format the card in pc using an incompatible format like ntfs and then put it in the phone and then the phone should ask you if you want to format the card. If not try to go to settings and format manually.

dude. just format the sdcard using your pc in FAT16 format. you can also try fat32 but I don't know how it plays with android.
cheers!
PS: after you format it using the above method, it's good to take the sdcard out from your phone and then put it back. just to be on the safe side

well...tried FAT16 and no luck?
im getting very frustrated at the thought of a phone that doesnt even see a simple SDcard when my PC does?
Well it might be some hardware issue. The phone does not recognize that sd card is in right? Does the phone show something when you plug in the card while the phone is on?
Did you try to put in other card?

nothing shows up when putting the card into the phone while it is on, but it does state SDCARD REMOVED when pulling it out from the phone
May be the SD card have some defect. Insert some other SD card and see if the phone nose it out.

ill probably end up doing that and just buy a new sdcard but i have a feeling itll do he same thing seeing as my PC sees it just fine and my last phone used it without a glitch. Now formatting this card for this phone, ive lost 1gb of photos!
Well I just did a small test. I have formatted a spare SD card with NTFS(I used MiniTool Partition Wizard for that) and put it in the phone. It told me that the SD card is blank and not properly formatted and asked if I want to format the card.
So this is something that your phone should do too. So my conclusion is that there must be either something wrong with the card or with the phone. So hurry to try a different SD card and if it doesn't work you should ask for replacement device.

thanks everyone so very much for all your help!!!
i called Future Shop (where i purchased my device) and explained everything including your guys help to them, and they said it sounds like the devices card reader is defective. So...seeing as i just got this on Friday last week, i can exchange it for a new device at no cost.
:good:
just got back in from future shop....
seems it was the sdcard that was defective but...
after coming home, i reformatted the old sdcard back to ntfs and dropped a pic on it from my PC and it still works?? lol
for some odd reason the device just didnt see the card? maybe cuz it was generic? maybe cuz it was only 1gb? i dunno??
however...got me a new 8gb sdcard for 14.00, thatll do me just fine!!
again, thanks for all the help

You can also try EASEUS Partition Master, google it.
ALso when it comes to sd cards, always "safely eject" the card from your PC. Just pulling it out from your PC or Phone without ejecting it could cause the SDCARD to get corrupted.

What are you using on your PC to format your SD? I always use this, and have never had any problems with it. It is free, so you might as well give it a try.

Is there a "Read/Write" switch on the SD Card? Check on the side of the card, maybe it's placed into Read-only which prevents you from formatting/writing to it
That is "IF" it has one that is...

I can't say anything about the RAMDUMP never did that so I don't know what it's supposed to do or what it does to SD Card.
Maybe try to see if you can get it formatted on a Linux system? But even downloading a live disk is still a lot of trouble to go through just to format a card
I thought maybe it could just have been write protection on the adapter that came with the SD Card. The small card itself won't have it but the adapter that you get with the card has the switch.
