i was just trying out andftp (unsure if this was the reason, but it was the last thing i did) off the marketplace and couldnt get it to stay connected. decided to end that and reboot, phone started back up saying sd card not found and the notice asks me to "format cancel"
just put the sdcard in my pc and its showing everything on the card so i'm backing it up. have been using it no problem for the past 20days so its not the format of the card or anything. once i'm done backing up i figure i'll reformat the card and see how that goes but couldnt find anything searching the forums. anyone had this problem or possibly why it started doing this after a restart of the phone?

I had this issue when I had my CLIQ. This was the beginning of my SD card dying. I hope its not what yours is doing, but just was similar to what happened to mine before it died on me all together.
i just got it roughly 20 days ago, hope its not
I've had a similar problem with my SD card. I could read the files just fine on a pc - albeit a manuell fsck found errors which could not be corrected even after several passes.
After reformating the card it now works fine again. This happend about two weeks ago.
after backup and reformat it still wouldnt read in phone, tried putting files back on also. finally booted phone up without a sdcard in, rebooted with it in and it recognized it. stock, not rooted, hopefully doesn't happen again

Alright I just spent the last hour scouring over threads, trying to find an answer to my problem (which I haven't).
I am unable to write anything to my sdcard when it is mounted. If I try, it simple unmouns immediately.
Initially I thought this was caused from apps2sd, but as I recall I had these issues prior to having that mod, so I know its not that.
It has worked in the past for me, and I've tried to diagnose but, haven't really gotten anywhere. I've googled, I've searched, I've read, I've gotten no where. So instead of "please use the search function", could I actually get some assistances?
I'm just tired of having to turn off my phone, pull out the sd card, put it in the media reader, put whatever I want on it, put it back in the phone and wait for it to boot up. It's just a long process that I ought to be able to avoid.
Have you tried to reformat the partition to fat32? Possibly wiping the entire card and rebuilding the fat32/ext2 partition. If you have a second scared try it and see if your Android sees it as read only too
I've had this happen twice. Both times it was a prelude to the card becoming unreadable as well. Get anything important off of it and reformat with this.
Hi,
So i have APPS2SD and the cache is also moved to SD , and its been for a long time. I have been running JF ADP1.5 with no problems. About a week ago, my SDCARD somehow got corrupted, but from what i realised it was only the windows partition which i could access and copy apps/music etc to. The ext partition used by android was fine. Untill I removed the card from the phone today while the phone was still on, and obviously the phone completely froze, but thats normal a restart will solve this (as long as I put the sdcard back in) BUT this time. It wouldnt go past the boot screen "T-Mobile G1"
Any ideas ? Do i have to flash the phone and start from the beggining ?? if yes how ?

If I were you I would just reformat the card and throw an update.zip on there and start again. You don't have to start from the beggining you still have root.
Well, I wanted to do that actually , but windows doesnt seem to be able to recognise my card anymore (after the corruption) It just doesnt showup anywhere NOT even in Data management.......:S
Any ideas how to format the card ?
Are you trying to read it thru the phone or a card reader?
Its ok, I sorted it out......I formated the card using my nokia phone (Wierd ? its the only thing that managed to format the damn thing).
and I did a full wipe Now my phone is back like new.........gotta install everything again.
Thanks anyway guys for the help.
Good deal.
After trying to do a root, following all the instructions on this site to a T, my phone booted up and presented me with a "SD card damaged, you may have to reformat" message.
I can click on it and hit reformat, but nothing happens.
I've tried doing the Odin recovery back to the stock /system, but that didn't seem to do anything. I've also booted into android recovery mode and tried wiping the cache partition, as well as doing factory reset.
HELP PLEASE!!!
UPDATE: the SD card is recognized when plugged into my computer via microSD adapter. Re-formatting on computer to the standard FAT32. will let you know how that goes, but still open to suggestions on assumption of failure.
Update 2: format failed. Popped it back into phone to try a last-ditch attempt at SOMETHING working.
It's still giving me an error message, though it's a different one;
Blank External SD card
SD card blank or has unsupported file system
Tried to format it on my phone, and it does nothing yet again.
how to proceed?

1. Post your questions in the GENERAL section.
2. Take what appears to be a faulty SD card back to VZW and get a new one.
3. ????????
4. Profit.
5. Post your questions in the GENERAL section.

I have the same problem and did the same thing with my computer I think the sd is no longer good. I am using my sd card from my droid now and I now have a dead card too.

My Wildfire has now killed 4 SD cards. I think there is something seriously wrong with this phone.
This EXACT thing happened to my SD card, and while rooting, EXACTLY according to instructions.
I wound up just opening the automated Root batch file
and running the commands and pushing the files without the stupid automatic thing.
Something about the SD card mounting to the computer, and the computer rebooting while hanging onto a file for read/write.
I took it to Verizon and they replaced my SD card. It was even rooted, with Wireless Tether right on the home screen, LOL. Oh well.
Don't feel bad. The Samsung cards that came with the device are crap. Mine crapped out on day 2.
Call customer service and have them replace it.There's nothing you can do to fix it. Trust me, I tried...
hey im a little new to droids. i have rooted my mytouch 4g and was installing iced glacier for the rom and it was successful. but now get an error message saying sd card read only. any ideas o how to fix?
Can you still access the sdcard rw through recovery?
BTW, make sure you post questions in the q&a section. I'm sure when a mod sees this they will tell you the same and move the thread.
My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
Had same issue, card probably had a sector corrupt. Plug into pc and right click select check card for errors and fix. It will say it found and fixed errors, you will be good after that. Thats what I get when I buy a 8gb class 6 card for $7.99

i had to pull everything off of it onto my computer then reformat the sd card then put everything back on it. i guess i had a corrupt file on it
I was in the process of pulling, reformatting, etc. But, as Johnowa stated, the option to "scan and fix", which I usually ignore, popped up, I thought, "Why not?", and it actually fixed the problem. As was mentioned, it was likely a bad sector. Hope this helps.
As the others have said, see if you can "scan and fix" or pull everything off it and reformat it. BTW, its Android. Droid is Verizons line of Android phones.

I would add one thing here.
Make sure you copy everything off the card BEFORE you "scan and fix" I had done that before without loosing anything. This time (on a 16 GB card I had used in another device previously), after it did the scan and fix, it generated a very long list of bad sectors, etc. and the result was an effective loss of most of the contents.
After the "fix", I reformatted and copied everything back without a problem.
Also... is this when its plugged in? I have noticed that mine likes to go into DISK MODE everytime I plug in the USB to charge. After I chnaged that in settings, I found my cable is slightly bad because if it moves the wrong direction, it pops it into disk mode again.
my apologies for posting in the wrong section i wont let it happen again. so ive tried pluging the phone into the pc to clear or format and my pc wont recognize it tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it and tried removing it ftom the phone and putting it in a reader directly into pc and still nothing. most likley i will go buy another today. i can access format sd card from clockwork mod but it stood idle for about 10 minutes saying formatting sd card is that normal i just removed the battery and stopped it

Sounds like you got a lemon. If this is the one you got with the phone I would call t-mo.

Please post questions in Q&A section.
I was playing Let's Golf 2 yesterday, and I ended it improperly by pushing the Home button. Since I rebooted from that incident, the SD card is not mounting anymore, and the system is telling me that it is damaged or its filesystem is not accepted. Since it's the very same stock card which comes with the phone and has worked properly since it came (and of course works in other phones and computers), I am quite puzzled. Any other card I mount receives the same treatment, so it's something on the phone. I have my bootloaders unlocked and I have flashed the 2.3.3 rooted version per Flashtool and Fastboot.
I guess it's time for reflashing, or do you folks have any idea I could use?
I had a similar problem. Turned out my SD card was cracked. This brings me to my problem. After loosing my SD card Crash won’t run anymore. Does anyone know how I can restore it? I really liked that game.
Edit: Never mind. I opened it again and now it gives me an option to download the game again. I need to do it over wifi when I get home.
