so i think i need help.. i recently rooted my t989 s 2 and everything went well till last night. when i got up this morning all of a sudden my phone said blank sd or unsupported file system. now when i click on my sd card it says format but it wont let me.. what do i do?
Doubt that has anything to do with rooting. Maybe a bad SD card, put it in your PC and see if it reads it. If it can't, its shot.

I just fully rooted my phone to the OTA 1.32.651.6 last night and everything was working fine. I completed a nandroid backup, updated the radio, and followed everything to a T. I haven't had any issues with my sd card until a few minutes ago when I shut my phone off and turned it back on. Now I am getting a blank SD card error and it is telling me I have to format the card. I don't understand why it was working after I rooted and now all of a sudden it is not. I even did another nandroid backup earlier today. Any help on fixing this would be appreicated.
Thanks
I just got home and tried another 8gb sd card and my phone reads it just fine, so it's not the phone. Looks like somehow my SD card got corrupted during the restart. I tried putting my original card in a reader on my computer but in both mac os and windows, it is telling me I need to format the card in order to read it. Is there any other ways you can think of to get my data off of it? Also, since I am in root, is there any files you think I should put back on my memory card if my original one can't be saved?
Can anybody help?
Mine is doing the same thing. A few days after putting the latest Fresh on my phone it suddenly told me that my sd card dismounted and now needs to be formated. Trouble is the phone won't format it and it won't let me do it from my computer. I'm trying to find out what's going on but I don't know that there's anyway to salvage the data. My phone did this once before and I couldn't save anything which sucked, but it still formated the sd card. I'll report back if I find anything.
So this past weekend, I got a notification on my phone telling me that there was a software update available.
I have a rooted stock 2.2 rom running on my phone, and about two weeks ago my phone stopped reading/mounting my SD card. I tried the SD card fix posted on here, but it didn't do anything for me.
So when I got this notification I figured I'd install it, lose root, and get my SD card back. (I only wanted root so I could use the mobile hotspot feature, which I don't use that much anymore so I don't care about having root)
So I download and install the update, and my phone reboots and now I'm stuck on the bootloader screen. I've tried to get into recovery, but each time I do that I'm presented with the image of the phone with the red exclamation mark.
So once I get that screen, I pressed the up volume key and the power button, then it tells me:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then I get a blue menu (it says: Android system recovery <3e>) up top and presents me with 4 options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I've tried all options. When I tried to apply the update.zip, it tries multiple times to access it, but keeps saying it can't mount the SDcard.
this is the message I get:
E:Reading package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
I've wiped the data/factory reset... doesn't work.
tried wiping cache partition... don't work.
I'm going to try another SD card later, maybe that will help. What files should I put on it?
Dunno if this will help, but on the bootloader screen (top) it says:
supersonic evt2-3 ship s-on
hboot-0.97.0000
touch panel-atmel224_16ab
radio-2.15.00.09.01

If anyone can shed some light into what the hell is wrong with my phone, I would appreciate it greatly.
Get a new SD card. Mine had the same problem and sprint gave me a new one. Put the files you need on the SD card directly from your computer using an adapter. As for the specific files you need I'll stand aside for someone with more experience.
DO NOT take your phone into sprint as it is. May be a "duh" statement but I want to be sure you know that.

Why are you telling him not take the phone in to Sprint? It seems to me like he has the stock hboot and it says "s" is off, so I don't see what the problem is. There is nothing there that would indicate the phone has been rooted, so they would have no reason to say the warranty is voided. If he accepted an OTA update, he obviously doesn't have root, so even if they do get the phone to turn on, it's a non-issue.
OP: It sounds like a defective SD card. If you put a pc36img.zip file on the SD card and the phone cannot read it from the menu you are describing, and you previously tried the SD card fix to no avail, then try a different SD card. Maybe you can ask someone to lend you one off of their phone? If so, you can place an RUU on the card that is lent to you, and all the files you need for the phone to operate will be there. Just find a thread describing how to unroot your phone, follow the steps, and you should be good to go.
Did you try putting the SD card in the adapter and seeing if a computer will read it?

I can't use the adapter cause I don't have a card reader. I've always used my phone to write files to the SD cards.
But I will try what you suggested. I found the exact update I was trying to download, So I'll put that on the SD card and try and flash it on the phone.
I can't post links yet (still noob status) so the title of the link on here:
OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 - just the OTA update zip file
praying this works...
OP, I'm in the same situation. Any luck yet?

Wrong forum i'd imagine, either way
Mount it from recovery, and on a win 7 machine (probably others but i dont know) you want to repair the disk without formatting it. This fixed it for me when i had similar trouble.

thanks i will give it a shot
This usually happens to me if I unplug the phone from the computer while in usb mode without using the eject disk feature in Windows 1st. Others have told me a few ways to fix it. The 1 above should work but you can also remove the card from the phone and connect it directly to phone and use check disk. Normally all I have to do is boot into RA recovery and toggle usb, wait a few seconds and then toggle back.
I had the same issue today. I just said fugg it and usked caulkins format all and then did the normal wipes and then flashed my rom again. I already had my apps backed up so it only took a bit to set the phone up. Weird thing is that I could still access SD card via disk drive on the phon.e The evo just couldnt see it thru the phone.
my micro sd card is not working. the last time it was working i had it mounted to computer putting cheat codes on gba game. i dont remember if i ejected it. i know i pulled usb cord and it said sd card was currupted. so i reset phone and when it came on it said sd card is blank or unsupported file system. i dont want to lose my data. i have alot of important files on my sd card. when i tried to format it, it did nothing. i tired on 3 phones and 1 computer to format it. it always failed. i dont know what went wrong. does anyone know any programs that can fix this and help me recover my files. i dont have all of them backed up.
I have the same problem. I pulled out my phone the other day from my pocket and in the notification bar an alert read "Blank SD Card." I have tried to format it on 3 different computers and with 2 different cameras and tried countless methods. I gave up, ripped it up and tossed it. I'm calling HTC to try and get a replacement card tomorrow.
Man this sucks.. u probably shouldnt have did that in case u found method that worked...does anyone have any suggestions?

My SD card died after 3 months. It showed up that same problem and I couldn't figure out how to get it to work again. I called up the manufacturer to get a replacement. They sent me a brand new one in packaging at no cost to me. I got lucky but I'm sorry to hear that yours got messed up.
I have the same problem with my 8g SD card. After putting some mp3's the card suddenly corrupted. I tried to format it but nothing happens.
I want to start off by saying that I'm the type of person who likes doing things on my own before i get on the forums asking questions but Ive tried a lot of things and nothing seems to help.
So the issue I'm currently having is my phone doesn't recognize my SD card. When i go into the settings it says that the SD card is empty when in fact it's filled with my original files.
I know it's the phone cause I have tried several SD cards and it wont recognize them. Now if i have the SD card in the phone I can still scroll through the files using some kind of file manager but It wont load the apps on it like it used to. Another thing is if I connect the phone to my PC it will recognize the SD card and the files can be edited ect..
So the few things that i tried doing is removing the battery, removing SD card then inserting them both back in, formatting the SD card (killed my other one trying to format it btw) and still nothing. Wanted to go back to a date where the phone worked but since phone isn't reading the SD card it didn't let me.
Wanted to do a complete whipe so that at least I can get the phone to unrooted state but I'm afraid that the phone wont let me get into the files that are in the SD card to go back to stock ROM.
Don't know if the brand matters but i'll add the brand of the SD card anyways. It's SanDisk 1 GB. My other one that got burnt by some SD formatter was a Kingston. That one didn't work either. These SD cards worked on other phones BTW so i know it's either one the ROM or 2 the hardware.
Either way i have to get it to stock ROM to send it back to T-MOBILE so it can get fixed. Warranty is invalid when your phone is rooted. I am really in a tight situation.
If there is any advice that could lighten my day i'd greatly appreciate it.
Odin stock on it, see if it works after. You'll lose all user data. Also, sd cards fail/get corrupt. Happens all the time.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot to see if it works. Also, bought a SD card manager thing to connect to the computer and when it gets here going to try and see if it has any errors hopefully one of of these 2 things work.
