I have a 16gb sd card that was working PERFECTLY until yesterday. I had my phone rooted and I decided that it was getting too cluttered so I unrooted it and that's when my sd card quit working.It says "preparing sd card checking for errors". I rerooted it and it still doesnt work. Thank you for any help.

You likely have a corrupted file structure on the SD card...and may need to format the card using a PC and adapter...
That should fix the card...if not...the card may be damaged...g
Will it delete everything on it?

If the pc can see the card as a drive. ..then yes...just copy over your data...
But if the pc can't see it...then the card may be trashed. ...g

The files you are deleting are used by An app or two. The app 're installs the files when you boot.

Like if you delete lost or android secure. The app will auto 're create them because it may use them

the problem is with my memory!
do you know of any app to SUPER WIPE this freaking memory????
do you know how to format it with command ?
i flashed my phone and it still wont format this memory....
its like all the files i have in my memory are super secure and they cant be deleted unless i unlock them... but idk what the heck happened...
all i remember is that it started to happen after i flashed my note and then i was downloading the radio and then every time i would go in CWM the radio file would not be there so then i rebooted the phone to check and then the radio files was not there......
i tried that like 4 times... now im at the point that i dont care and im trying to delete everything just to solve this...
this memory is just like 2 months old.... its a sandisk... i got it from walmart... 32GB.... i think my warranty was only 30 days
Exactly what file are you trying to delete. I was referring to your memory before. There are files on your removable memory that you can't delete because they will get 're written automatically
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Perhaps your micro SD has a write switch on it? Lol. That's all I can think of. Otherwise boot into Ubuntu and open terminal and CD in and rm -rf *

Here's the Panasonic Format Utility, is this can't format it your card is toast

I don't know what the prob is but I was able to write to my sd card this happened like a week ago I was on a 4.4.2 two rom and had no issues with it then I went to an aosp room still no issues then I flashed another aosp rom and that's when I noticed the problem I can read the sd card I can even copy stuff from my external sd card to my internal one no prob but when I try to copy something from my internal to external I get an error message saying read only file system I tried those sdfix apps I tried a couple of them and they all say I'm good I have permissions to write on the sd card but I still can't. Has anyone had this prob or can point me in the right direction any help will be appreciated.

Yea I think I'm gonna format it I've been doing allot of reading about that f2fs format I'm gonna do my whole phone in that format I think.. I changed roms one two one aosp neither one helped so I'm guessing it's not Rom related I never take my sd card out of my phone I haven't wiped it I just don't get how one day I can write to it and another day I can't..
I have an external sd card. It needs the fix for kitkat. But can not use the fixes in the market they all need root. How are you guys dealing with this issue.
You just have to deal with it until root is achieved, there is not way that I'm aware of to fix the KitKat SD card changes without root.
I don't get why we have to wait for root. If the phone supports 64gb sd card out the box why is this an issue. People that don't have xda experience will be thinking something is defective. Correct me if I am wrong.

Is there a fix to get the sd card working on lollipop i have searched the OTA thread and could not find anything relative to it. All my music and pictures are on there and would be nice to have them back.
The external SD card or internal?

I'm going to suggest the usual factory reset. I've had no issues with mine. Have you tried reading the card through a computer? Maybe something happen during the update that wiped it or messed up the format.

I would research to see if there is a safe way to reflash KK and wait for the OTA. Maybe you'll have better luck with that.

I think there are two problemz with the external SD card on this Lollipop build.
1. Permissions which I think the play store app fixes.
2. The format must be FAT32. I don't think I've seen a fix for this, unless you want to reformat your SD card.
My SD card did die as well. I'm not sure if it's related to this update or it was just it's time. Mine couldn't be read by anything. I have sent it in to Lexar for replacement.

Mine works fine. When I installed the 20b ROM, I did a complete wipe of everything in TWRP except external_SD. Installed the system, modem, boot and bootloader images and booted up.
Had issues with some apps like DoggCatcher being unable to write to external_SD despite that being the save data path. Ran the app I mentioned above and now all works fine.

It requires root though.
How big is that card, the only thing holding me back is the reports of 64G+ non FAT32 formatted cards not working... I use the phone as a FTP server or sorts and need larger file support than FAT32 has given me.
