[Q] Bad SD card after rebooting the phone (HELP!!!!)

Hello I have a big problem hope somebody can help me.
I have a 16g micro sd card. RA Recovery 2.2,
this is what happened:
I rebooted the phone in to recovery wipe everything in order to install a new rom I had just downloaded, after I wiped I try to install from sd card and I got a message saying that the card could not be mounted.
So I plug the phone on the computer turned on the USB-MS toggle, when I click on the sd card on the computer it tells me that the card is not formatted and ask if I want to reformat the card, If I click yes it brings me to the other screen but it tells me that the card is only 30.6mb and the card is 16g? it only gives me to option in the file system FAT or exFAT.
Can somebody help I really don’t want to lose the card
ps i have windows xp and windows 7 , the phone is running miui rom

Where did you get the card?

I believe you will end up formatting SD card (FAT) but if you have anything that you want to keep you can move that to your PC. After you format card and phone recognise and accept it, you can try move your stuff from PC back to SD. Again that just my opinion and I may be wrong... Before anything, try to take card out > start phone > turn phone down > insert card again.

I believe you can do that with older windows (XP), but is it necessary to do it ? FAT was just an example what I give to you. Why don't you format your card with phone using standard system?

CWM + My EXT SD CARD = No Fun

Well I have a new version of CWM Mod, and apparently when you format the sd-card, it no longer formats the inner sd card but your external sd card. I was really pissed as I lost all my data I had saved, but it also managed to screw up my sd card. Neither of my computers recognize my SD Card and I have no idea how I can go about restoring it. My phone can detect the sd card but it will say its corrupt randomly. So I'm guessing CWM formatted the card in a really screwed up way. Any suggestions brahs?
I'll even try to mount the sd card on CWM but it wont be able to mount it. It's a shame to waste a 32 gig sd card like this

Have you tried to format through the phone storage? Menu/settings/storage/format

Only gives me the option to mount or unmount the SD card

How old is the SD card? This phone is know for eating up the 32 GB cards. I had one for less than 3 weeks and it did the same. I use trwp but there is a thread about cards and our misfortunes with the 32 GB.

Make sure you card is not in exfat. CWM will not read cards in exfat, I had the same problem. If it is you are going to need to format it to fat 32. Most 32gigs sd cards and higher come in exfat now. You are most likey going to have to do it on the computer also it cant be done from CWM.

Yes but my computer won't even detect the SD Card. It was fine and dandy up until yesterday when I hit format on CWM on the SD Card thinking I was formatting the internal storage (since it's labelled /sdcard) but it formatted the actual SD. Windows won't detect my Micro SD and neither will my Mac. However if I put the SD card into my phone and connect via USB, it shows up.

You pressed format /sdcard, and it formatted your extsd? That's a pretty serious bug, so thanks for the heads up. What version of CWM are you running?

Op. I did the same thing a long time ago. I have gotten into the habbit of removing the sd card when I am formatting with a custom recovery. I also back up the sd to my pc and reformat the sd when changing roms. A bit off topic but I also wipe system before flashing a new rom. So far I have avoided many of the issues mentioned day after day. Maybe I am lucky but my wierd habits have been successful so far.

Did you manage to fix the problem though? Not to be rude but I'm looking for solutions towards this specific situation, not advice on what to do next time :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

5.8 something. It's weird because it allows for both internal and external SD use. When you backup the first open is to save to external then its internal. First version of CWM i've ever used with such an option.

For anyone wondering about a solution, I used an android 2.3 device which actually has a format option for the SD card and now my computers recognize it again. Life is good

[Q] Formating SD card problem

I've had a 2 GB SD card in my WFS, it was formatted properly, Int2Ext4+ and everything else was working, now I need more space so I changed to a 8 GB SD card, but when I try to format it with MiniTool Partition Wizard it says bad disk or something like that. Then I need to eject the SD card and insert it again and then I have to format it again.
Is it possible that there is something wrong with the SD card and I should just buy a new one? It was working before when it was just used to save data on it, but when it comes to formatting it doesn't really work.

it said error bad disk because you might had formatted it wrongly or take out sdcard many reasons.
just put that in your phone properly and then power off phone.after power off remove sdcard and put it in card reader with computer.
and then it ll said format memory card then format it and then you can use minipartitional tool.

I don't think that's the problem, cause I did everything like how I did on my previous SD card, and on that card it was working properly.
But I'll try to do what you said, if it doesn't work I'll buy a new one, it's not so expensive anyways.

It was always working wierdly, that's why I didn't use it in my phone in the first place, but since it was good enough for my mp3 player I thought I'd give it a try again, guess I shouldn't have.

SD-Card removed unexpectedly
I partitioned the sd-Card and used INT2EXT4+ ., internal memory is fine reading above 800MB cuz it was 1 GB partition, but i am getting error over and over again that ''SD-Card removed unexpectedly'' and ''damaged sd card'' my card has total 8GB

Its a weird problem....but maybe you changed the file system of your sd card or something like that. Otherwise..you should buy a new one!

Google for: "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition Setup" It's freeware. Put card into a reader, not phone-to-pc, start minitool, and look, if there are more than one partition and if it is FAT32!
Hope that will help!

You can also try the hp format tool from here http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
It is much better than stock windows formatter.

Tried,,,but nothing...say that the sd is read only and dont give me any options.Thanx

How many files/folders do you have on the card?
Maybe too many AND very small size?
If not, then check a pc with linux and try to format with it...
