So i have no idea how it happened but my sd card went crazy on me. I was just using my phone and then I clicked on an app that i had on my sd card and said that it couldnt be found, then it said that i had a blank sd card and that it needed to be formatted. I tried everything; pulling the battery, mounting, remounting, putting it in and out, tried to mount in recovery, tried to format in recovery...... NOTHING WORKED! So then i tried to plug it in on my computer (windows 7) and it wouldnt mount, so i couldnt format it.... Is there ANYTHING I can do!?!?!!?!? someone please help me cause it is a 16gb sd card and all i have left is a 2gb one... HA that wont work for me. Any help is appreciated!!

Pull sd out of phone and use a card reader to see if it can be read from the pc. If you can read it with the pc, copy all your files to the pc and then format the sd fat32. Once formated put the files back on the sd and put it back in the phone and see if it works then.

How old is it? Sometimes they just go out, especially with heavy use.

If ur phone has a recovery mount usn on phone recovery. Then scan the card with a data recovery tool. Its worked for me in the past

have you ever pulled the SD card out of a device before Unmounted it? Sounds like the the chip inside is dead. There are some places that you can take it to and they can pull the info off of it. its not cheap but they do exist. It all depends on if you really want the info off of it or not.
Have you tried "SD Card Tester" from the Market, Or H2testw 1.4 for the PC?

Hi, so today every time i would boot up my phone i noticed it took a really long time to recognize the SD card (32 GB SanDisk class 4 micro SDHC). Later in the day, aka a few hours ago, I rebooted my phone and it flat wont recognize the card is there. I've tried formatting through my computer, still didn't recognize the card was there. I tried formatting through cwm 5.5.x recovery and all i get is an error saying it cannot mount the SD. The only time i could even get it to recognize the card it said it was either blank or written in an unreadable filesystem, so i clicked format, but it seems not to format the card. I tried popping in a blank 4GB (micro SDHC class 4) i had laying around, and it worked no problem.
PLEASE HELP!!! I cannot fit my 14GB of Music on my tiny 4BG SD!!!
Thank you to anyone who responds in advance
!!!! Update!!!!!
Fixed!
I used the format SD program in the link provided by 216Monster below.
This program takes hours (I did a full format) but it works!
Please don't be afraid to hit the thanks button!

Download SD Formatter from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and see if that works for you, might end up with the same results.
Also did you try sd card in something other then your phone to make sure its not faulty?

Yes. luckily i found a 16gig card i had, which is working. but i will try that formatter now, thank you
Edit: sorry read that wrong.. but the case works fine in all my computers...but I tried another Android and it failed to work there also
I had the same problem with 2 16gb sandisk sdcards, never really figured out why it did that but every other brand works fine no problem at all

Another thing you could try is a sd card from samsung, im using a 32gb class 10 in my r800x and it works great!

Pretty sure the class is one of the factors that determine if the SD card will work with your phone. 16 SD here.

Can you post detailed information on how you did it? Override? Did you marked format size?
I just flashed to CM10M1 and it now tells me that my SD is damaged. I have tried to format it using the phone but the unmounting seems to be taking really long. I have already tried formatting it on my PC, which works, as well as transferring files over, which also works, but when I put it into my phone i comes up with the same error. It is a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10. Any help?

I've heard some people had a problem after flashing CM10 with backups done with ROM manager. They said deleting the backups solved it, which doesn't really make sense if you've already formatted the card on your computer, but maybe it'll lead you in the right direction.

What format are you running? I think it has a problem with exFAT format.
Running exfat, will try reformatting to NTFS and will get back to you

Try FAT32. It worked for me. It does say ready to be removed in your storage settings but you should also be able to see the external SD card. Use Solid Explorer and see if you can see the external SD.
Been looking for the answer to format this card...using guiformat. What is the correct allocation unit size to format the Sandisk Ultra 64 gb SDXC microsd card so that all CM10/AOKP roms will recognize it? Any ideas? I've tried a few but the roms wouldn't see the size of the card in storage. It just takes forever to format then toss the files back on, only to find it still doesn't recognize it. Googled it and looked in here, but haven't found a clear cut answer. Many thanks for the help!!!!:good:

As promised.. Just fallow the instructions in the first post and you will be up and running in like 10 mins or less.. Super easy
Also, windows tries to format if you do a quick format from you computer to exFat, or NTFS with using this method.. So be careful if you reformat.. No need really once this is done though.. I tried the HP one, it didn't work.. So just stick to method one in the first post and all will be good.

Hi All
i have just purchased a 64gb microSDXC memory card driect from Amazon, to replace my 32gb card that was full, here is my problem, i have copied the contents of my old card onto my pc, put the new card into the phone and formatted it. then took it out and placed it into the pc, copied the files from the pc to the phone.
But when i put the new card in the phone and power it up, the phone starts up then i get the symbol of the sd card in the top left saying its checking it for errors, then the phone freezes up, loads of messages come up about things stopped working like settings, internet & other apps.
the phone then goes into a kind of reboot and then comes back on but then freezes again!
i have put the card into the pc and run check disk but no errors were found?
Please can someone help me with this, otherwise i wasted my money.
I am rooted and also running directory bind.
Thanks
Pete

Thanks I'll try in a bit, will report back, otherwise I'm going to ring Sandisk to see what they have to say, I've checked on their site and it says the card is compatible with the note 2
