SD Card Randomly Appears Empty

Hey, I've had my Evo for a couple weeks now, and have recently started experiencing an issue that has been since happened quite frequently - the SD card will randomly appear empty, and I won't be able to add files to it. The only way to get around this, it seems, is to reboot the phone.
At first I thought my MicroSD card that came with the phone was defective, so I got Best Buy to exchange it today, but it just started happening again! My phone is rooted and running the latest RvU ROM, if that could have anything to do with it. Does anyone have any help, or is this just a hardware problem? (If it is, I'll just exchanged the phone at Best Buy, since I'm within my 30 days.)
Thanks!

Same thing for me. I tried Baked Snack and now Fresh 0.5.3, both have the same issue. Rebooting seems to work for a short time, but it always fails when I'm using programs that access the SD a lot such as the Gallery app or the Camera. As long as I stay clear of those it seems to hold up a bit longer, but I've had it fail while using Astro File Manager too.
When I was running The latest stock OTA I had no issues. I posted a similar question in the threads for both ROM's with no response yet. Because of that, I was beginning to think I had a bad card too.
I don't want to go back to stock. I just can't understand why this keeps happening.

Glad to know I'm not the only one.. I just wish there was some resolution to this.
I contacted HTC and they said it wasn't a known issue with the phone, so they said I should go to Best Buy and exchange it. So maybe our SD slots are just defective?

I have this problem too. It empties every day it seems and I need to reformat the SD card just to get it working again. It erases all my pictures and video and is very frustrating.
It seems to happen most often when I am taking a picture or going into Gallery, but has happened in other instances as well.
I hope HTC releases a solution that addresses this.
Also, it tells me in the notification bar that the SD card is damaged or unsupported file type or something along those lines.
And for the record, I am running a stock Evo.

i welcome u guys to my world.i been having the problem since day one tried everything and nothing worked.fully rooted,new radio,tried few roms,formated SD card,put in a new SD card and still that random SD failure.i reboot about 3-4 times a day and its really irritating.im afraid i might brake my evo one day or jus claim for a new one.

This is how I feel

I'm tempted now to go back to stock and verify, but I never had a single issue on my phone until it was rooted. However, it's possible that the problem was there and I didn't encounter it.
If I take that step and find that it is still an issue on the stock OTA, I will most likely try to get the card replaced or have the phone if it persists after a new card.
It's very inconvenient and makes the camera pretty unreliable. Plus I am a field tech, and I store .pdf's on the card for different devices. If the SD is frakked I can't be sure I can get to important paperwork in the field.

It's not the SD card.I have already reformated the SD and even put a new 16gb SD card but same issue everyday.

It's definitely not the SD card. I've formatted it, gone to Best Buy and had the SD card replaced, and used a different SD card.
It could be the ROMs we're using, but I've got a serious problem with this phone if using a rooted ROM does this.. And few other people are experiencing the problem. That leads me to believe it's a hardware defect.

My suggestion jus get your phone exchanged ASAP.

Yeah.. I've contacted Best Buy and they'll let me know when they get their next order in

Unfortunately I am am outside my 30 day exchange period so I cannot do that.

Well, I hate to break it to you guys, but custom ROMs is not the issue. I am stock and have had my phone since launch morning (June 4) and today, for the first time, my SD card contents disappeared. I was changing wallpaper when the default wallpaper kept coming up as the wallpaper. Note that the when selecting a wallpaper, the gallery showed all my images (cached?) but when I went to Gallery, nothing was there. I pulled the battery to reboot and now the SD card contents are back.

I had the same thing happen with me. I've also experienced other strange things related to the card. When hooking the phone up to my macbook, sometimes files copy and sometimes they don't (to the card). I was thinking it was an app corrupting the card. I've tried large files (100-200mb) and small files (like apks or old video game console roms). It seems that when data is going to the card very aggressively, it doesn't wasn't to copy. What I mean by aggressive is like 2+ dialog boxes of files being copied at the same time.
More often than not, it seems like lots of small files pisses the phone off and it parts me back by bowling the card. Lots of files means hundreds to thousands.
I saw this thread awhile ago but didn't look at it until today. At least I'm not going crazy or even maybe have a bad card. The cards never gave me any problems with the devices its been in for maybe the last 3 years until last week.
I gotta find another card to try. I am using sandisk 16gb. Maybe a different brand? Anyone try that yet?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm doing a test now. I removed the suspect 16gb card from the phone and put in a 8gb card that has never been in the evo ever. I put the 16 in a sd adapter which goes into a usb adapter. All are official sandisk. I formatted the 16 in my macbook as fat32. I am now copying 8557 files to the card which size total is about 6.97gb. After a few minutes, I'm down to 6291 files to go and almost half way finished copying. I have not received one error message or anything that might lead me to believe there is something wrong somewhere. I'm starting to think there's nothing wrong with the card(s). It's the gd phone! I am so pissed now!!!! I keep looking back at the progress window and it's chugging along no problem. I am thinking about something tho. When I was changing cards I noticed that even when the card's lock bar was down, the card could wiggle a little. HMM. I'm gonna get a piece of thick paper and put it on top of the card and see if that helps make the card not want to wiggle as much when the lock bar is in place.
I will report back if I find out if it works or not in like 24 hours or less.
I don't think it makes any difference what rom you are running but I went to the one stock rooted "EVO_1.47.651.1_Rooted_stockrom.zip" one calkulin posted.

That link is just in case someone stumbles across this post later and wonders what I'm talking about.

So far, so good. I will give progress reports when I'm at work when I'm able to. I hope I may have stumbled across a simple fix to a defect.

I had the issue you guys are talking abou this is what I did to resolve my issue.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Just got a new SDHC card and simpleroot worked. The SDHC that came with my phone died. I placed a spare in there that was a 2gd regular micro and Hboot would not read the IMG for nothing.
If simple root is not working then it's the Sh!tty card acting up.
Happy ending for me.

For those who post before reading the thread, I am STOCK and this also happened to me. Battery out/in fixed the issue (for now).

So far I'm going on around 16 hours without the card screwing up. If you wanna try this, get a business card. Pull the card out of the phone. Lay the card on the business card at a corner. Measure about twice as long and normal width. Cut the business card. Fold the piece in half length wise so its the same size as the sd card. If it's too big, snip the non folded end of the paper and measure it so that its the same size as the sd card. Put the card into the phone and make sure its ask the way in. don't force it to hard. Then hold the card down and slide the paper, folded end first, on top of the sd and into the card bay. Make sure the paper isn't sticking out of the card well where the battery would be on top of. Gently push and lock the lock bar down onto the card. If you have to push firmly then the paper is too thick. Place the battery in the phone and put the cover back on. That extra bit of thickness added to the card I think is keeping it from scooting around in the sd card well and judging by the size of the contacts on the card, it wouldn't take much movement to get off the contacts. The folded end under the lock bar and the other end being held down by the battery I think is doing the trick. Just power down before removing the battery next time.
So far, this is working for me and I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
Just another update and bump off the topic...

I agree the ROM probably isn't the problem, but definitely come back and let us know if the paper helped at all. It could just be that the SD card is loose.. It seems like sometimes if my SD card stops being read, but I leave the phone alone, it'll work again later, without rebooting, which is odd.

How to convince them my SD card is broken?

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this, but I'll give it a shot considering its about SD card partitioning for the Desire ROMs.
I recently bought an A-DATA class 6 card, 8 GB. The very 1st day I switched to this card (after I properly partitioned it with gparted), I had problems with the ext partitions. Nandroid backups were corrupted the moment they were done through recovery (tried Ra 2.0.1 and 2.0.0/CWM 2.5.6.7, all with the same problem), sometimes when my phone died suddenly (4 in 1 reboot into recovery) or even when I ran off battery and the phone shut down normally, after I turned it on the ext partition wasn't recognized, apps from phone were all missing, but fat32 was ok. In fact, I never had any issues with fat32 partition, except when I had corrupted files by nandroid backups and the phone was telling me "error: card is read-only" or something like that. When I mounted the card to PC it prompted me to scan the card cause it had problems, and then it was fixed. I repartitioned the card numberless times, both with gparted and in recovery when I had amon ra, and always the same problems. And now, it says the card has 3.6GB occupied, but if I get to count all the files in it, it barely gets to 1.5GB.
And lately I wanted to do a titanium backup of all my apps. My usual backups consist of 170-190MB, now after I performed a backup, most of the files were corrupted in it, and after the PC scanned for issues and fixed them, the backup folder had 25MB left, meaning all the other files were corrupted. How can I prove the store I bought this stupid thing from, that its broken? Cause I know it is, I switched to my stock card class 2 that the phone comes with, and everything is back to normal, no issues at all, it runs perfectly except its not that fast.
How will they believe me if the fat32 runs ok, they probably haven't even heard of ext partitions on SD cards...

Hey man. Sounds like a bit is a tough situation. I have an a-data class 10
And luckily it works fine.
I'm under the impression that with memory (ram anyway as I've returned
Many sets of dead sticks) is not tested if you say its faulty they take your word
and replace the part when it gets to them and either bin or recycle the "faulty"
Part. Thats just my speculation though from personal experience. I've had ram
Returned in a week and believe if the company had to test the ram first it would
Have taken much longer. May be worth a shot, worst case scenario they just send
You back your current card. Only other thing I can think of is that you stress the card
untill it actually does fail but that could take a hell of a long time.

Nah, its been on the same "stress" as the stock card, I'm having these problems since the 1st day I introduced the card inside, like I said.

Lol, haven't thought of that, does the warranty even cover that?
How would I be able to heavily stress the card? I heard ext4 does that, but what does generally stress a SD card?

Looks great, thanks. Does it read it from the phone directly? Thing is, I don't have an adapter which could be mounted to the PC, only via the phone. Downloading now.

Strange SD Card problem

I had a strange problem happen to my SD Card on my SG3. I have a Patriot 16GB class 10 card that I used on my EVO 4G for a almost 2 year without a problem. After when I got my new phone I clean all folders that I no longer needed except my pictures and some applications. Put the card in my SG3 and everything was OK. I was able to copy files take a pictures and everything seems to work the way it should. Last week I was on a trip and during the process to taking a picture I got a message that my card was removed and basically disappear. I reboot the phone and nothing happen. then a little bit later I saw another message that card was found and everything show up again. Then I check do I have all the pictures and most of them were there except on a last one was (when card disappear) basically it was look like that picture was taken a half way. So I delete that bad picture and continue. A day later it happen again but this time when card show up again instead a normal card I have that message in notification bar with a little sd card that it says Blank SD card. then if I pull down and click on it phone is asking me to format the card. I try to mount the card but got the same message Blank card or unsupported file system. Ok so I didn't have at that time my adapter to plug in to my laptop and wait until I got home to try to repair the card.
Here is what I got now and I'm not sure is phone damage the card or card slot on the phone is not good.
I use minitool under windows and GParted as well under linux. Both of them recognize my card as 60 GB Unallocated space (it is a 16GB). when I try to recreate or format both of them said successful but card is not show up. I have to plug it back and then it goes again as a 60GB unallocated space.
Does any one know how to format a 16GB card as FAT32? I mean the settings I have to use to put to get back again this card as a 16GB not as 60GB.
Sorry for the long explanation and thanks for you help in advance.
P.S. I' not rooted and on LG8 update.

Bro,did to trid any other sd?

Windows will format it just fine under Disk Management. The fact that its reading it as a 60GB... I'd bet on the card as bad. I have hours and hours trying to save thumb drives and SD cards. 97% of them had no hope. Sometimes the card reader can act up... but not likely, and the phone's kicking it out too. Try to stick with Kingston or SanDisk even if you have to pay a little more. Yes, Cards do go bad like that.

Thanks for the reply. It is look like that this card is going bad. It kind a surprise me since I didn't have any problems under my old phone. I will play a little bit more to try to repair it but....... looks like will be a lost a time.
Do you think that because it was a class 10 card causing a issue? I saw a couple treads but most of the SD card that people use are class 4.

Probably 1.5 year. I got my EVO 4G back in sept. 2010 and bought the card a couple months later when rooted my phone.

Yeah, like root said, the class wasn't the issue. The different phone might have pissed it off but you really never know. I never liked Patriot myself, but then some people like them. Gotta back stuff up or have it auto upload somewhere.

last week suddenly received a message that the card was blank. did everything i could not to format it. finally gave in and tried formatting the sd card but couldn't. had to buy a new one. sounds like yours is going bad as well.

When I first got my SGS3 I used my old card from my OG Droid. I got an OTA update and my phone quit working (I got the "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped working" message). I took the phone back and they asked if I had ever had an SD card in it. I said "Yes, my old card from my Droid." I was told that this is a "known issue" with the SGS3 and that any SD card I used should be formatted in the phone itself. I'm not sure if this is the issue here, but it might be.

SD card issues (Yes I've searched)

OK guys, I'm getting my ass kicked here and I have searched here and all over until my eyeballs have bleed and to no avail. I'm gonna try and list as much detail as I can.
This is the second time I have had the "You need to format the SD card in drive "x" before you can use it" issue. The first time was taking a card from a HTC One M8 and going back to a Note 3. (All on Verizon and all rooted phones ) When I put the first card from that M8 into the "new" Note 3, it told me the card wasn't formatted. I tried then and screwed up and accidentally formatted and lost all the data but the card worked perfectly.
Fast forward to yesterday.... The SD card was working flawlessly and I went and traded the Note 3 for a LG G3. Got home and bam, same issue. I have tried the CHKDSK "X" /f and CHKDSK "X" /r and both say it won't work with a RAW format card. I have run some Trial type recovery software and there are clearly files there but you have to pay to recover those.
This is where I noticed something else weird. I also have a Note 10.1 2014 so I thought I'd try the card in there... No dice. For ****s and giggles I popped the card from the tablet into the PC and oddly enough, I get the exact same thing telling me that the card is not formatted and shows as raw on the PC. Pop it back into the tablet and it's perfect. I am losing my mind here because clearly, the cards are not bad, just something seems like they are "attached" to the device they were in. I have searched and it's not so much NOT finding things about this, but more so of finding TONS of incorrect info or just info that doesn't work.
I have my complete Titanium Backup selection on here as well as tons of Family pictures that I just don't want to lose again. Can anyone out there help or at least point me in the right direction. Also Mods, I apologize if this is in the wrong place a I wasn't sure exactly where to go with it.

Is this in the right place? Surprised that no one else had the issue.

What are the brand and specs on the card(s)? IE. what brand and what class/speed is the card?

It is a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS.
I have two of the exact same cards and when I remove the one from my Note 10.1 2014 tablet and put it in my laptop it says the exact same thing. When I put it back in the tablet it's fine. Is it possible that they are "linked" to the device they were in?

Micro SD Card corrupted? [write protected]

Hi folks of XDA! I am in a bit of a pickle right now with my micro SD card that I purchased a while back from ADATA.
Long story short, I purchased a 64GB micro SD card from ADATA due to my needs of a little more storage than what this phone offered. I ended up using the micro SD card as adoptable storage as I wanted to be able to use both my internal and micro SD card for 'everything'. It worked great until the night before I was suppose to go on a cruise: music wasn't being downloaded as it said it had insufficient storage space, and I couldn't take pictures with the camera app because it couldn't find the storage. I got frustrated as it was showing I had over half of the storage available on my SD card and I just did not have time to meddle with this problem; it was late at night and I simply needed my phone for taking pictures & videos & music.
I ended up doing a 'no no' and ripped the micro SD card out of my HTC One M9 without formatting or anything (literally just popped it out of my phone), restarted the phone, and surprisingly nothing was corrupted; everything on my phone was still working. But not surprisingly, the micro SD card got a little weird where when I put it back into my phone, it did not recognize it and my phone wanted me to format the micro SD card. Fair enough. I did that and it said it could not be formatted ("Volume partition disk: 179,32 public' failed..."). Fair enough.
I went onto my Windows 10 PC, slotted my micro SD card into the adapter that it came with, slid the little notch away from the 'lock' on the adapter, and my computer says it needs formatting. I try formatting it but all it keeps saying is that it's 'write protected'.
I slid the notch on the adapter to the lock, and away, as well as kept it in the middle; nothing helped, it kept saying it was write protected no matter which part it was on.
I tried using scotch tape to cover it as some people on the internet found it to work when their slid mechanism broke. Still did not work.
Tried using another adapter, and it still said it's write protected.
Resorted to using the DiskPart technique via CMD; everything shows up, the micro SD card status is online and disk 1, 58GB, 0 free space.
Tried going further into the steps (i.e. "attribute disk clear readonly" & another way, "select partition"), and it says it could not be recognized due to fatal error of hardware.
Would anyone happen to be in this situation before and was able to get their micro SD card fixed or knows a fix for me? I'll be happy to give you more in-depth detail if needed. Thank you!

Did you figure it out? I've had similar issue. I had to insert and remove multiple times until my PC recognized it... I think when I booked to Linux it worked though.

That sounds to me like the SD card is toast. I think it's built into the cards themselves that if the controller is going, it goes into read-only mode so that you can get your data off of it. I had an SD card bite it the first day I owned it a few years ago in a camera. I would use either a Linux VirtualBox or Linux Live Disc to copy your data to your computer and buy a new card.

Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to fix my micro SD card; it's just sitting on my desk collecting dust and sadness. I'll update this thread if I happen to fix it!
Also, "booked to Linux"?

Fortunately everything important like photos were already backed up into the cloud and my micro SD card has life time warranty so I guess I'll have to end up using it. AHHH cost of shipping & time from my impatience with removing the micro SD card. My hunch is that the encryption that occurred when I used the micro SD card as an adoptable storage may have ultimately screwed it up... ://
If anyone have any clues to how to fix the problem or would like me to try things with it, feel free to post a reply

Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to fix my micro SD card; it's just sitting on my desk collecting dust and sadness. I'll update this thread if I happen to fix it!
Also, "booked to Linux"?

I've tried using Linux but it's not working.
I'm having Two SD-cards collecting the dust as yours .
Please reply if you find any solution for revering those adoptable sd-cards back to working.
Thank U....

The nature of solid state memory is that any errors causes a complete failure. You will never recover the sd card. Return it to the manufacturer for a replacement.

Hey! Sorry for the late reply (school exams) but mine is still collecting dust and will be probably forever. For the price that I've paid (~$30), it's not worth to replace and it's better if I just purchased a new SD card. Time + effort to get a new one is far too great for me to care about getting a replacement.

Thanks for the reply
But even after sdcard replacement if you use same rom in your device then the new one is also going be damaged
My device has only customs roms of android 6.0 so there still bug in them if i get new sdcard i cannot use latest version in my device So i have to search for solution to unlock these sdcards

Oh I see. Fortunately for me right now, I am not using a custom ROM. I've been sticking to stock HTC and will proceed to do so until HTC stops giving out updates. I am not quite sure what you could do except try to manage with the 32GB like me by deleting all unnecessary apps, putting all your photos and videos into Google photo, and caching music that you find yourself listening to the most these days. So far it has been working well for me to the point where I don't find it necessary to have an SD card anymore! Perhaps it's a different case for you.
