[Q] SD Card Format - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have quite a unique problem here.
For some reason i can not format my SD card. Here is what i am using:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Micro...09119&sr=1-2&keywords=64gig+micro+sd+class+10
I tried formatting in TWRP and that didnt work.
I tried Formatting inside android via the settings option and that doesnt work
I tried manually deleting the files and folders when i connect my phone to my pc and that didnt work.
I have a GT N7100 and rooted using Moon rom at the moment.
I tried XNote Rom and that didnt work
When i try to format the card it seems to format it and once it remounts the card its just the same.
When i try to delete the files manually, it shows that the files were deleted but when i restart my phone BOOM the files are there again.
When i try to download any new files and copy it over to the card it shows i have copied it correctly and when i restart the phone the files are gone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Exact same problem here. Formatting in CWM Recovery does nothing. Will try formatting in Windows via card reader. Very odd that this happened after I upgraded my stock ROM.

Turned out to be a defective Sandisk SD card. Has been replaced by Sandisk.

Help! SD card in Read only Mode!

I tried installing the nfl unlocker 64 file by changing the zip to apk and attmepting to install it. Well it didn't work and right afterward I got an ! mark and it said card in read mode only. So I cannot delete, edit...files etc on the sd card. I am at work. No way to connect it to the pc to back up the sd card to try reformatting it, does anyone know any other ways to get this read mode off? I do have terminal emulator installed.
TIA
Yep this has happened thrice to me. Others have experienced this also after froyo.
One or two have stated trying to fix the card error using windows scan disk (if you have access to a pc) fixed the error. I have had success by copying the card image file, inserting the card into a card reader on the ltop, formatting the card there, then restoring the backed up image.
Aa stated this happened to me more than once. Has not happened in a few weeks.

is that using the command chkdisk F ??
Also...hwo do you save the image file?

That problem happened to me for about 3 times (it happened to me last week) , My application got corrupted and they do not show in applications drawer. The solution to your problem is before you unplug your phone to computer make sure you unmounted the USB Storage (SD Card) and make sure you finish the media scanning first before unplugging it to your computer , even you already unmounted the USB Storage make sure to finish the media scanning to make sure that the media scanner has already loaded your applications that is stored on your SD Card , How to get rid of this ?? , Go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications but make sure to clear data them first so it won't leave trash in your SD Card after you uninstalled them
I Hope this won't happen to you anymore
Because once this problem happened again then you lose your data ( Game data's etc.)

If you are using the SD card that came with your phone, you probably need to reformat it properly. See if your computer can read the SD card. If so, copy everything off of it and onto your computer hard drive in a safe place. Then install and run this application: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and use it to format the SD card. (Do not use Windows's built-in stuff to format the card, it won't fix it.)
After the format is done, copy everything back to the card, and then back into the phone and try it again.

Well the card has NOTHING on it.... I have no clue and CWM states no files either.
I have this gut feeling I just bricked my phone as even I cannot get it into download mode CMW just keeps coming up nice and BLUE ...
UPDATE : I am able to use CWM it seems I tried adding a ROM to the SD card and reinserting yet Nothing... I have the feeling the system is wiped also... IS there a zip file I can use to restore that anyone knows about... I was searching for the Orginal firmware and can't find anything.
Thanks

[Q] Really strange SD Card Problem Need Help!!

My Sd card is working fine.. but some times i cant access it using programs like media players or file explorers cuz they keep crashing ....
the only way i've found to solve this is taking out the card , restarting the phone , clearing data in media storage (system app) or even disabling it , then putting the card and resatart
Its not a permanent solution and i tried everything like formating and the card works perfectly on my pc
PS: this problem occurs in every rom and kernel even stock and am using cm 10 lupus kernel right now
: I cant keep the media storage app disabled cuz without it i cant set ringtones and my phone wont ring ..
in cwm i can access the card without problems
Plz i need help ! or atleast the cause of this problem thanks

i tried all the simple solutions... looks like it has something to do with the android.process.media or a damaged file i need a permanent solution but thanks for ur help
the first and fastest check I would do is to put another SD. if the apps are still crashing, the problem comes from there. if not, the problem is on SD. in some cases, at some point the SD will start having problems... no matter what you do. so it is possible that your card just reached its EOL (end of life)
Change the way the sd card connects to PC to mass storage mode. Then hold shift and right clic in first folder that opens when you click on icon for removable device for sd card. Click on open command prompt windows here. type in chkdsk /f and then type in Y if it succedes and asks for permission. Hit enter and watch reports. If this doesnt work try other sd card, but probabbly problem is in device and not sd card. If you have any problems pm me...

couldn't install on usb storage or sd card

I tried doing the unmount trick, the one with the terminal. Still nothing
The "funny" thing is that I can install free apps without problem, but when I download Swype and Poweramp unlocker (which I bought) i keep getting this error
solutions?
Did you try a Link2SD?
More details please buddy, want to help but need to know as much as you can tell. Rom, flash details, when it first happened, etc.

Hello, I have flashed the JellyKat ROM v5 on my NoteII and got a new sd card (ADATA 32GB) from ebay, the card was sealed so I hope I wasn't cheated, but randomly I see these things in my DCIM folder and I can't write to the card and the phone seems to not read the media on it music photos everything, and I can't install any apps on it or update existing app or even create a folder through the default touchwiz My Files.
I tried to format the card on the PC but can only do quick format because it loads and loads and then say windows can't format this, I also formated it via the phone it worked for a while and then stopped working again, now I don't put a card in the phone.

I have been using my old card from my tablet all day now and it is working fine I created a new folder and copied some files from internal storage to it to test it and it worked.
Is there a way to fix the corrupted partitions on the other card?

Yup, I also faced that kind of problem before, simply run KitKat SD fix, grant root and let the app patch the platform.xml. Reboot and try again. It worked for me. :good:
