i think my card is fried or corrupted cuz i popped it in paragon and i had like 7000GB on a 4gb class 6 card?..any ideas on how i can fix??
If I were you, boot into linux on your computer if you have it and format it using fdisk. If you don't have linux, then get it Besides that, if that fails, then your SD card is f*ck*d, and you might be just better off getting a new one.

Might be a silly question but have you tried just formatting it in Android?
Settings > SD Card > Unmount SD then Format SD.
Worth a shot anyway.

Doesn't sound promising. What brand card is it? Did you ever fiddle with the partition table (i.e. to do apps-to-sd)?

damn there no way to bring it back??...i dnt think ill b able to get a new one.
The problem is, the phone or an SD card reader won't read it. IF somehow you can get it to recognize the card, you should be able to reformat. If not, why wouldn't you be able to get a new one? Staples has 2MB for 8 bucks.

If it shows up as a device in windows it's not fried. Paragon should be able to fix it. I highly recommend downloading a Linux livecd or liveusb image that has gparted on it. That'll help you fix this in a jiffy.

It cant mount anything cos your partition table is jacked up. Open gparted and just clear out whatever is in there and create a new partition table.

I used the root method at unlockr.com, and i have #root# access in the terminal emu app. When i get to the part at unlockr about flashing recovery, (thru terminal emulator) i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso
I have RUU'd the phone at least 5 times... I have also tried using the cmd using the guide here, and get an error at basically the same spot.
my hero is 1.56.651.2. i have spent over 15 hours across 2 days searching forums and trying different methods, but i guess i must be doing something wrong.
btw.. the very first time i tried using the method from unlockr (root through cmd, flash recovery through terminal emu) it *almost* worked. It tried and got a ton of messages and an error regarding too little memory. after i looked it up and realized i could have just freed up memory in the PHONE(not sdcard) it was too late, i had already RUU'd again. It hasnt come close to flashing since, only the error reading message.
i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso

this isn't your issue is it?

do a RUU to go back to bone stock, same version you have

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583291
EDIT: and when it get to this part about "flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img" give it an extra min after you hit enter and it "looks" like it's done before proceeding
let me know if you get stuck, i'll keep an eye on this thread also let me know at exactly which step "looks weird"
oops that was just a typo. I have been using .img for the file ext like you are supposed to. I have formatted the sd before trying, and the same error. The guide you pointed me to also did not work, I always get a flash error at (step 18). I have RUU'd at least 5 times to start over, and it didnt help any.
and about giving it an extra minute after the flash command, it instantly tells me
"error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img"
so i cant really do that.
What should i do
I have ran into that same issue. I would guess you have upgraded the stock sd card. If you have, it is formated to fat32 not fat like the original. Try formating the card fat then try again. Good luck to you.
Dave
EDIT: I see you have formated the card. I believe the card has to be fat not fat 32 (someone correct me if im wrong). When I was rooting my phone I had same error til I formated it fat. May the force be with you.
What do you mean by upgraded the sd card? I didnt ever do that...at least not on purpose. So how would i check the format?
Put the card into a card reader in a pc, right click on drive and hit properties.
crap, i dont have a reader for this type of card. no way to do it through the phone?
and this problem couldnt be from anything else, could it?

you can mount the card from the notifications bar when you plug your phone in usb. then just right click on the removable disk in my computer (mine's drive H: ) then click "properties"
it will bring up this window
if it says FAT32 then there's the (assumed) problem.
Okay!
it IS fat32.

do you know how to format?
before you format be sure to save anything you have on your sd card that you want/need as it will erase everything.
1. move anything you like to save to your computer from your sd card
2. right click on the removable disk in my computer
3. click on "format"
4. in the little window that pops up chose "FAT" leave everything else alone
5. click start.
6. thats it!
damn its not working.
As soon as i click format it unmounts...any idea?
BTW thanks for the help

i've never tried it that way, but you will probably have to go the card reader option, or use...
GParted
windows disk management
but those tools give you the power to seriously mess up your computer. so i recommend running these on someone's computer you don't like.
or the card reader option
You can format the card under "SDCard and Phone storage"
Just unmount then format.
Okay well modchipper said he had the same problem, and the sd has to be formatted to FAT,not Fat32.
Gparted and the other tool, how can they mess up my computer?
The format option in the phone formats to FAT32...
If you're not careful you can accidentally nuke your hard drive, instead of your sdcard.
Well i tried windows disk management and it didnt see the drive. Gives me a feeling that gparted wont work either. does anyone know for fact that sdcard format has to be FAT?
Well once again I'm at my mom's, and her USB ports are screwed up, so I couldn't tel you what mine is formatted as.
Well i have multiple SDCards, but the one that is currently in my phone is formatted in FAT32 & I believe that was the one I used to root & flash the recovery originally...
Well this just seems impossible it seems ive hit a wall...
Im trying to use Fresh pre kitchen, but that wont work either because i have windows 7.
The Fresh Pre-kitchen works fine on Win7.
all of a sudden my phone is asking me to format my memory card, and the mc is not showing up on file explorer.
i didnt want to format it but in the end i had to . but still it says format memory card. and i still cant get into it .
can someone pls help on this as i have done everything i can think of
thanks in advance
have you been playing with the ramdisk tweaks? If yo dont set 'autoformat' it asks every boot.
If the memory card is not showing up and even does not after a format, your card could be bad ....
its time to change your card. your hd2 has corrupted your card. but don't worry you are not the only one having this problem. there are tons of users out there who got this prob.

firstly, i have nothing but trouble with adapters that the switch slides to write protect when you enter it in the reader slot. I ended up taking them all off, so double and tripple check that.
Secondly, if you go to control panel/administrative tools/computer management (or words to that effect, depending on windows version)
look for disk management, and find your sd card there. See what it says, it could be that you can format it from there, or rebuild teh partition.
(Better still if you have a partition manager program handy, see if you can force it to rebuild the partition on teh card.)
However in all likelihood, its a duff card. It seems to be an emerging theme with the leo, cards going bad.

You said something about memory card being BAD. What does it mean. When trying to make a partition, I saw something saying "bad disk" talking about my 32 gig MC.
I cannot reformat my MC and when tried, it says "windows unsuccessfully formatted the device". Any ideas on how to reformat my sd card friends?
I stopped using windows to format my sdcard as it does a mediocre job at best. All I use now is sdformatter. It does a much better job. I even had a card my hd2 said was bad and it revived it. Give it a try. I also use mini tool partition wizard for any and all partitioning required.
i have been using nand/zip android roms since the beginning but 2 days ago i got a disturbing issue and i tried many nand/zip roms both froyo and ginger with no luck
whenever i unmount then remount the sd card , gallery and music applications stop recognizing my media files
i currently work around this by copying all media files to new locations but this is really disturbing
can any one assist me please
I'd try backing up the SD, formatting it, then putting your files back on and seeing if the problem persists first

Does rebooting fix it?
No it does the same problem as if I unmounted the card
I also tried "sdrescan" application and it returned with the same problem
Please i need the solution
Try the "Multi Mount" app.

So you basically did a proper format like already advised. You obviously didnt do a proper oen before and maybe used windows standard full format etc.
In future if you wish to do a proper format of a SD card use Panasonic SD Card Formatter with following settings...
FULL (ERASE ON)
Size adjustment ON

I didn't know about this "Panasonic" program , although i did more than 4 hours of searching both in xda and google
anyway , i did try a proper format using a tool from site sdcard.org -or something like that- and it did take about the same amount of time with this "[email protected] kill disk" so I am not sure
anyway, the good thing is that it is now working
thanks anyway
hope you mentioned this program earlier
My S4 does not recognize my new sd card. Just got it today I put my photos and music on it but it is not detected on the phone, any fixes? Already formated it twice
You might have to format it to fat32 or install a kernel that recognizes your current microsd format.
i formatted to fat32 on my PC with a 64GB microSD. from then on it works fine. when i got the S4 i just swapped it in and it works fine. full format to fat32 and see if phone recognizes it.
It came default formated to fat32, gonna try to do it again and see what happens
