as title said, i used to format my SD card as internal storage to increase my phone storage
my phone is rooted but I've re-locked the boot-loader
today I've unlocked the boot-loader but that made a factory reset, and my SD card wasn't able to work on the mobile anymore
i have worth files in the memory, i didn't format the memory it's shown as raw file system at windows
is there is anyway to make it back to work on the phone ?
or make it work on windows ?
Android 6.0 ( Marshmallow )
Rooted
the mobile shows "Unsupported SD Card"
This Device doesn't support this SD Card. touch to set up in a supported format and when touch it ask me to format
I realized that the SD card is encrypted and they keys are stored in /data/misc/vold/
and since i did a factory reset these keys lost, how to restore them
or decrypt the SD card without the keys?
I have windows and linux ( ubuntu )
on both the sd card not recognized

I’ve recently upgraded the SD card in my desire to a 16GB class 4 and its giving me some major issues! I’m running OpenDesire 4.0.1 and the sequence of events was as follows:
1. Inserted new SD card and formatted with gParted: 512MB Ext3 and the rest FAT32 (Ext3 partition was at the end – hope that’s correct!)
2. Rebooted fine and all the apps stored on the internal memory were present and correct. Those that I had moved to the old SD card were missing so I uninstalled them.
3. Tried to install Estrongs file manager from appbrain using the fast web installer function. This downloaded OK but the phone rebooted during installation. Tried again but same thing occurred again.
4. Tried plugging phone into PC. USB debugging mode started up fine but I wasn’t offered the option of mounting the SD card
5. Unplugged USB and inspected phone storage menu to find that no SD card was mounted
6. Rebooted a few times, removed and reinstalled SD card etc – still no SD card detected by the phone
7. Booted into recovery, connect phone to PC and used the “mount USB” option in Clockwork mod. This was successful and allowed me to inspect my SD card on the PC. Noticed that Dalvik cache and some apps (those not included as part of the ROM) were present on the SD card (FAT32 partition) – OpenDesire must have moved them there automatically (but why to the FAT32 partition and not Ext3?).
8. Rebooted phone out of recovery to check that those apps that appeared on the SD card were accessible in Android. Found that they were, which is strange given that the SD card was still not being detected by the system.
9. Decided to mount SD card again via clockwork recovery method and formatted the FAT32 partition with gParted.
10. Rebooted phone and found SD card still not detected and all those apps that had magically been moved to the SD card by OpenDesire were (unsurprisingly) gone.
11. Tried a few adb commands that I found in another thread but didn’t seem to have any effect.
Out of ideas – can anyone help?! Will try old SD card tonight and see what happens, but I don’t think there is a problem with the new card since I managed to successfully mount it through clockwork. I’m also wondering why the apps were moved to the FAT32 partition instead of Ext3? I thought that’s what the Ext3 partition was for?
Cheers
The FAT32 partition must be the first partition on your SD card, and it seems from what you've said that you created the EXT partition first.

no the the FAT32 was first then the Ext3
OK fixed. Managed to mount the SD card on the PC via clockworkmod, deleted all partitions and rebooted phone. Phone detected SD card and asked me to format it. Did that and then added a ext partition using gParted.

Hello,
There seams to be a provlem with my SD card. I have an imation 16GB class 10 card. I bought it from ebay (not a really chip one) and i am a bit ambigious about its reliability.
It happened me twice to connect either the phone as a USB mass storage or the card directly from a card reader to my PC and afterwards my SD cannot be recognized by the phone. Whatever i try the android does not recognize it ... and i have to repartition it.
The strange thing is that the CWM recovery recognised the corrupted FAT32 partition when this occured. I could even restore a nandroid backup which was installed without problem except from the "Empty SD slot" message ...
Also my windows recognize the FAT32 partition.
Do you think that this is a provlem of my SD (bad sectors maybe or corrupted partition tables) or a bug on the drivers of the ROM that mount the card?
Have you tried doing a slow format and run a diskcheck on it?
Also, it might be your system corrupting it if you remove it without dismounting it first.

Phone and Ext SD Card (64 gb) Encrypted
Problem: Accidentally deleted 5 mp4 files from ext SD. Have been vigilant about not writing data to card.
Solutions Explored: 1) Droid Apps 2) PC programs
Tried numerous apps and programs but they are going to require me to root the droid as they aren't turning up the goods.. I'm in the middle of a backup of internal and external storage, which will take a whole day, plus ---- in case I have to give in to the root option. I've done jailbreaks and roots before, successfully, but have no desire to run that risk. I like to have a vague idea of what I am doing so resist one-click routes but am willing to go in that direction if others here might assure me of just the right solution.
Solution Considered: Decrypting SD card then mounting via usb and running recovery programs, which don't otherwise recognize the phone (internal or external storage) even in the usb mass storage mode (PC recognizes all phone storage for file management just not recovery programs/apps). Would decryption overwrite crucial data (file content of deleted files) or only higher levels?
Update: Ext SD Card was NOT encrypted
I unmounted ext sd card. Connected to PC via usb card reader.
The phone indicated that the card was encrypted but it was not. I see earlier threads here where this happenned in kit-kat and jellybean. Now, add lollipop.
What gives?
Galaxy Tab S ext sd card not encrypted
Device says the card is encrypted. I checked via card reader because of experience with phone. Same deal. Not just file names and metadata but file contents are recognized. NO encryption. Does the unmount make it readable? What's going on?
Hi
I had a microsd card formatted as internal storage in my LG G4 running CM 14, unfortunately I had to reflash stock rom due to issues I ran into upgrading CM 14. The sd card is now not recognized without being formatted (in PC or Phone), there is a lot of data that I had in there that I would rather not loose.
I am currently running a windows recovery tool called DiskDigger on it which is scanning for known file types, but is there a way I can mount this sd card?
Thanks
No, you can't
And since an external SD adopted ad internal is supposed to be encrypted I suppose that "normal" disk recovery utilities will be useless.
Sorry
i was using adopted storage on R.remix marshmallow. i wanted to convert it back to usual storage i tried the usual way through settings and phone rebooted in the middle of doing that process and now the phone doesn't recognize the sd card. i tried formatting though PC and phone, changing to internal adopted storage/external back and forth. even wiped cache,data of phone via twrp. i currently only have the micro sd card with me. how can i make it like a normal sd card?
i dont have any linux to try some of the methods i found. i need a windows solution. thanks
