SD card crashing all the time - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So here's the problem.
I bought a new SanDisk 64GB Micro SD card, Class 10 for my new HTC M9 phone.
My issue is that, everytime I reboot the phone i get a crash saying "Process System isn't responding". This causes that Spotify for example (I save all my playlist to the SD card) loses all his data and revert back to Internal Memory, deleting my downloaded playlist.
I have tried several ROMs, with the same results. The only ROM that didn't give me any issues was te Steam ROM back with my M8.
As far as I know it is not a crappy card. Anyone knows any tricks for this?

Error Backing up data

Hi all,
Anyone else experienced this error, it is from the auto backup system which is standard. it says Error backing up data. An Error occured while saving your data to your SD card. The backup cannot be completed.
I have plenty of free space on the SD card and have had no problems for 2 months, then it started last week, so i decided to Root the device and see if by wiping the device that would fix it - but it has been rooted for a couple of hours and it has just come up with the same error again :-(
Any ideas?
Thanks.
You're having the SD card issue where it seems like it's mounted but it's not. Try viewing a picture or playing a song from your SD...chances are it's malfunctioned.
I had this issue all the time until I got another card.
Thanks for the quick reply - I just tried both and they worked fine. Can view pictures and play music stored on the SD card without issues.
The SD card is an 8Gb SanDisk SDHC one I have had for a couple of years, cam with the Touch HD I have from Orange I believe. Which has never caused me a problem before??!!!
I meant more the next time you get the error. My card would be fine for hours then die on me and I wouldn't really know until either that error showed or I tried to play music/podcast. If you get the error and your card is working fine then there's another issue and you should contact HTC.

Fix: SanDisk 64GB SD Card, All Data Missing

I didn't see this particular fix anywhere else, but it seems to be happening with larger SD cards for many phones, so...
Running: L900 CM11 4.4.4 mid-august nightly w/ stock kernel.
Problem: My SanDisk 64GB SDXC SD card was mounting but showing no data and no absolute file size, with only the option available in tools being the delete all data function (I never tried using it though.)
Kitchen Sink: Tried rebooting, wiping both caches and flashing an older nightly. While a fresh card format seems like the obvious fix, transferring and formatting takes time on such a big card and requires a PC nearby.
The Fix: I booted the phone with the back cover off, and without the SD card inserted. After a full boot to my home screen, I then inserted the offending card and received a notice that it was loading. Saved data was now available with all functionality. After a reboot and battery pull, the card hasn't failed to load since.
I'd be interested in any insight to why this might have worked, it feels like a janky fix at best. A quick search tells you that big SD cards and CM/Android don't always play well.

All files on external SD card corrupt after unexpected shutdown

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.

SD Card "disappears"

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.

SD Card continually stops working

I use my SD card very frequently and it seems like after 6 months or so I keep getting issues with the cards. If I browse to files on the card with a file manager I can see them, but if I try access them (read or write) I get an error (depending on what I'm trying to do). If I unmount then mount the card it works ok for a while, but then a day or so later it starts again.
I've had this happen a few times with the S8 and now my S9 so I'm wondering if there's something I can do to fix this or if its just normal behaviour for cards that wear out.
I've had that happen one time with another phone using a cheap card but never with a SanDisk card.
