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.
Hi everyone,
I am having an issue with my SD card and hope someone can help.
I have bought an SD card for my HTC Desire HD. This is a Lexar (High-Speed) 32GB Micro SD-HC card. I have had this for around 3 months.
All has worked well until recently. I have been unable to sync and access anything on the card. For example, I use root explorer on the mobile to view all of the files within the SD card. This has worked previously, but recently hasn't. When I try to view the SD card files the app crashes.
Also, when I try to sync any files to the mobile using HTC sync, the sync seems to progress and complete according to my PC, but nothing seems to be available on the SD card. I tried to sync music files to the card, HTC sync carried the sync out to my phone, but nothing is showing when I use this with any music apps.
I am now constantly receiving messages on my mobile asking me to download my language pack again for my SMS application. I may also receive a message saying the SD card is read only, press here to fix. I have tried to press this and the SD card seems to be re-set but doesn't actually fix anything.
I have also tried to format the SD card through the phone. Have taken the SD card out of the phone and re-inserted this. Still no luck.
Does anyone have any idea as to what else I can possibly do or is this SD card basically become faulty and I'm going to have to replace this?
Any help and suggestions are much appreciated.
I think your SD card just became problematic, and maybe soon it will become unusable too. Maybe you should try replacing it if it still in warranty time. (life-time wrranty?).
sd card
Maybe your card is broken. You'd better buy a new one.
Have your tried to read your SD with your computer?
Lexar
I don't want to extrapolate from my Lexar SD Card to every other SD Card of the same brand, but my Lexar 16 GB class 6 card had a lifetime of roughly 3 months, too and then started to make problems. Coincidence..??
I had a case of total data loss including bad sectors etc...
Even reformatting at the PC and doing a chkdsk helped only for another few weeks, then the first bad sectors re-appeared.
I changed now to a SanDisk which was much cheaper and is faster anyway, despite the fact that it has no class XX defintion printed on. ;-)
But regular backup is your friend, anyway, nandroid and titanium saved my day, at least to 90% of the data.
cheers

Yeah, I can read the card on my PC. I try to add files manually on to the card (without HTC sync) this adds but when I try to view with the mobile and doesn't seem to show the file. I then try to read the card again and the file I have added has gone.
Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll buy a new card and go for sandisk. I'll try and find one with a good warranty or lifetime warranty. Anyone got examples of cards or suppliers who provide a lifetime warranty?
Hey guys and girls!
This morning my phone turned off by itself (13% battery left) and needed somewhat longer than usual to reboot (in the meantime I plugged it back in to the charger). First thing I noticed was that my whole theme got reset as well as it started showing me introductional tips ("long press here to move your apps to the homescreen, ecc.). It also started to update apps in the Play Store even though I set it to manual ... so basically a LOT of things were reset.
The biggest problem I'm having now is though that all my files (pictures, videos, music) that are stored on an external micro SD card are corrupt. It's not possible anymore to open anything. I already removed the micro SD card and put it into an adapter to have a look at the files via the laptop. But nothing, even though the sizes of the files seem OK, I can't open them.
Does anyone have a clue as to what exactly happened here? Are those files lost (at least of some I have a backup) or is there anything I can do to "repair" them? Help is really appreciated, thanks!
PS: Things like the card unmounting and re-mounting never occurred. So I can't tell if the card was dying or if actually the phone ruined my files.
Did you happen to be using a SanDisk SD Card? I've had my 10 brick 2 of those until I switched to Samsung SD Cards about a year ago and haven't had issues since.
I never could manage to recover files from the damaged SD cards.
I have a Samsung SD card and had something similar.
I guess I was on Viper Rom and basically my phone restarted around 15-20% of battery. After a long wait for booting back again, all my settings were gone.
Files and others in the SD card was okay but basically until I formatted the card, I wasn't able to boot into the Download Mode to install a new rom...
I fixed the restart issue by installing the official HTC Rom.
Thanks for your replies.
It is indeed a SanDisk 16GB card. It seems though that the card is still working (no problems accessing it via phone or laptop), just the files appear to be broken. In the meantime I also tried apps like PC Inspector File Recovery, but to no success
I'm still on stock HTC Sense by the way, no root, nothing.
Anyone know though why that happened (resetting everything, etc.)?
Hit me with a PM I'll give you a SanDisk restore tool which works quite ok. there is a huge chance some files can be recovered, some will be damaged though. Don't push any new files on the card after you tried to restore the files
HTC 10-Corrupted microSD card
I know this is an older thread, but I was wondering if there is a solution. I have an HTC 10 which has an micro SD card in it, that is "married" to the phone. When connected to a computer, the computer recognizes the phone, and the microSD card, and begins to load the folders/files. Eventually this process stalls, and the phone/drive is no longer readable by the computer. To get the computer to recognize the phone/card again, I need to restart the phone, but the same thing happens again.
I have like 20gigs of data on the card, and cannot just put the card in a reader, because it's encrypted to the phone. Any possible solutions? It's frustrating to see the files/pictures for a minute or two, and then have them disappear. I have tried copying/pasting the files while they're visible, but this often triggers the computer to no longer recognize the phone/memory card. I've tried to un-encrypt the microSD card, but the phone can't recognize/access the microSD card long enough to complete that process.
Please help if you can.

Hello everyone.
My main issue for a few months has been the microSD card. Before I unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed custom ROMs, my SD card worked fine, which was a SanDisk Ultra Class 10 32GB. After doing those things, my microSD card (or my phone) has been suffering a problem where it either corrupts or it disappears from the configurations of the phone, even after buying a SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSD card. I even unrooted, reinstalled the stock ROM and locked the bootloader but this keep happening.
This is incredibly frustating, because my main use for the card is Spotify, Netflix and Youtube Go! (I like to download everything on the highest quality possible) and every time it corrupts or dissapears I have to format the card and download everything once again. I even tried formatting it for internal storage but it dissapeared out of the blue other day just like it happens when it's setup as external storage.
Does anyone else have the same issue or know any fix to this?
It may be a hardware issue with the sd card reader

And only Motorola would be able to fix it?
A hardware specialist could, it's not just limited to Motorola workers.
I have similar problem/s
A. It takes a lot of time until card is ready
B. After it shows as ready, it can dissappear after a few min.
I u reinsert it, it takes more time, and sometimes fixes the issue.
The weird part. If it is ok, it will work like that until next reboot.
I really dislike this phone.

You don't need to format it
If it says sd card corrupted when you turn the phone on simply remove the sdcard (whilst the phone is still on) wait a few seconds then put it back in again
This works if formatted as external storage - not tried as internal as I don't see benefits in this

It says SD card corrupted while using the cell phone. Like, let's put this situation:
I had downloaded all my Spotify songs in the highest quality they allowed, listened to them while coming back from University on a Tuesday night. I put my G5 to charge during my sleep. When I wake up the next day to go to work, I cannot access any of the music, because suddenly my SD card disappeared from the cell phones (if I go check in the settings, it says 24,59 GB instead of 84,06 GB). After a few minutes, the SD card re-appears but says it's corrupted.
Since creating this thread, I haven't added anything to the SD card and I never got the issue again, so I'm pretty sure it's something with the way Spotify files work.

Have you tried connecting your sd card to the pc and check for the available space ? If it does then copy the data to your pc, format your sd card (ControlPanel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk manager).
Then re-insert the blank sd card into your phone and see if it shows up.
Hey All
I have been googling for 2 straight days and cannot find a n answer when i give it a clean SD card, whatsapp still wants the old.
Have i lost my whatsapp texts?, I understand the media is gone as per dead SD but the text i can still read.
Is there a way to add anew card or is the phone logically broken cause half of the memory is gone?
Any help would be good
Thanks
I had to look, I don't even find an option in WhatsApp to use the SD card I have installed.
Could you add some screenshots explaining the issue.
IIRC, most conversations are stored on the servers or your Backup anyway.
One reason why you're up to date if you switch phone, or number.
@argonaut459 thanks for the quick reply it's the fact of how to properly replace the sdcard if you have given the whole sd card to the android operating system it's a different format and I have put in a new sd card that works and my phone sees the extra space but clearly i did something wrong as Whatapp.
Can't save photos told the app to use sd card wont let me save
cannot even save screen shots ?
Tells me storage full so the phone is still believing the old sd is there even though when i gave it the new one it did ask how i want to use the storage and i did tell it to have it for the android OS
I have one of 2 scenarios either i have missed a configuration step or it's not possible to recover from a dead extra "ram" sd card
Sorry, just got informed you answered here.
As I said I have no clue about these things.
Maybe a factory reset might be in order to get the os back into normal, and than try out the SD card as additional storage.
If that works
Reset again
And try as integrated storage.
You really should check integrity and values of the SD card before you use it as that. They tend to just give up.
