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.

Running DamageControl 3.2.2. Used quixk boot to boot into recovery and did a nand backup. Upon rebooting the "preparing sd card" message won't go away. Been there for 30 min. Any idea? Is this normal?
Update. When in recovery it sees the zip files on my card...do obviously not a corrupt card. I'll sleep on it an see if its still there in the morning. Sent bug report to damageless.
doesnt sound normal, you try rebooting yet?
Yup. And unseating/reseating the card too.
you try it in another card reader? or another card in the phone? sorry for the basic support route, but youre not giving me much to go on here, did you get the first OTA update? it addressed issues with the sd card
Did the first ota update. Laying in bed so haven't tried card reader. It's not the card because recovery sees the .zip files on the card.
OK...on my pc now..card reader reads contents fine.
OK...so apparently it was something with the nandroid folder. I couldnt delete it from my SD card with my card reader. I also couldnt move it. I reformatted my card, to kill the folder, and dropped everything else back on to the card, and rebooted. It was up for about 10 seconds, then went away. Its odd, but Ive never had nandroid do that to me before.
So I finally decided to ditch my stock 8GB SD card for my phone and buy a 32GB and all was well when I got and copied everything over to it except for the music since it was taking way too long. Everything was running perfectly.
I decided to take the card out of my phone and use a card reader to plug it directly into the computer. The transfer time was greatly decreased to I did it that way. But when I went to put it in my phone, it said that the card was blank or file system unsupported. I put it back in my computer and it could still read it so I decided to format it using the computer which cleared everything off fine.
I then put it back in my phone and it said the same thing, so I decided to format it again using the phone which it said it erased everything, but it could sill not read it. I went to put it back in the computer and the computer told me it could not read it and that I should format it again, so I tried to, but now the computer can't even format it.
Any ideas on what to do or am I in need of another card?
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.

I rooted my Note 4 a few nights ago using the procedure found on our forum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...asy-guide-how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-t3454593
I have root and everything seems to be working fine until I put the microSD card in the phone. When I do, the phone immediately turns off and will not turn back on. It goes into a "bootloop" of sorts, except that it does not boot up at all. It turns on, then back off, and continues this until I pull the battery and remove the SD card. Can anyone suggest what I can do to stop this and be able to use my SD card again?
Thanks in advance.
I'll bet you used the SD card when you rooted your phone. If so, it's got a backup on there and it needs to be REFORMATTED before it can used with a phone. Use a program called SD FORMATTER to fix it. Then you'll be able to use the SD card again. It must be formatted on a Windows PC using that program. It was listed in the instructions you read while rooting your device.
Well, I inserted it and then took it out as instructed. Was I supposed to use a different SD card?
I can back it up and then reformat it. That should be easy to do. Thank you.
that did the trick! Thanks!!
There's really no reason to 'back it up'. I've rooted about 10 devices over the years and never once needed it. It's a backup of the previous (5.11) boot ... and we never plan to go back anyway. Using SDFormatter will make it usable in your phone again. Otherwise, if you just use Windows to format it, you'll only end up with 18mb of usable space.
My phone restarted itself yesterday and went into a continuous boot loop. I figured out that I could get the phone to restart if I removed the card. I need to get the stuff off the card and then format it so that I can re-use it in the phone. I purchased a micro sd card reader and plugged it into my windows 10 machine. It tells me that the card must be formatted before it can be used as it does not contain a recognizable file system.
Does anyone have any ideas on how/if I can get the stuff off the card? The phone will boot into bootloader with the card inserted so there may be a way to transfer the stuff to a computer that way??
It is a stock un-rooted phone and the sd card is formatted as internal memory.
Thanks. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
as internal storage, the card can only by read from the phone itself, which means you have to somehow get into twrp.
I'm not rooted so I suppose that means I'm screwed?
rooting process does not need functional Android system start, besides you can always go to fastboot and do a
fastboot boot recovery.bin
which boots with twrp temporarily.
Same here!
I'm stock, unrooted and today (over night) the phone sucked off 50% the battery. When I tried to start it, it froze till i realized that it's an issue with the SD-Card. I did absolutely nothing before going to sleep and the SD-Card was always the internal memory. I can start the phone without the SD-Card an plug it in...it will be detected, but you can't even format it back to portable in the phone. And the phone without the data it needs to work properly is now useless - looks like a factory reset + throwing away the SD! DAMN!

I just ended up formatting my SD card in the computer, having the phone forget the SD card, putting the SD card in and formatting it in the phone. SD card Works. Obviously you lose everything on the card but I did not have to do a factory reset of the phone or did I have to discard the SD card.

nice to hear!
My SD is dead. PC won't format it, Laptop and Actioncam either. Maybe because it had a failure when I tried to format it in the phone while it had those strange issues.
Who knows?!
