Damaged SD card!!

I don't know when did this started happening actually, I flashed a number of roms in the past couple of days, but I can't get rid of this stupid notification and its really driving me crazy!
When I mount my SD card so I can transfer files from PC and the unmount I get the error "Damaged SD Card - SD card damaged you may have to reformat it"
The thing is reformatting does not solve it, and when I have this notification nothing that accesses the card works (music, photos, astro..)
I tried reflashing my rom again which made the error go away for a while but after some mount-unmount I have it again!
I have a non-branded HTC magic (32A) with Cyanogen 4.2.3 and Enoch theme and RA's recovery image and NO apps2sd
Any help?
Thanks

fixed it
Okay I got it to go away, I formatted from the recovery menu (fat32 only)
and I turned off the swap file and uninstalled the swapper app.
No problems so far!

i've found that rebooting the phone makes the sd card damaged error message go away
and that rebooting my pc actually solved the problem of the pc not seeing the sdcard
but that may just be temporary, i dont know

Strange SD Card!
When I mounted my SD Card I was receiving an error and was asked to Scan or Continue. I chose scan and then it looks like it mounted fine. I can view all the folders and files but if I try to copy any files to the card or try to create a folder I get an error saying the Drive is not available and it is no longer mounted. I put the card in a card reader and I received the Scan option again and I scanned it to fix any errors but it doesn't find any. I then can copy, delete and modify anything on the card. I put the card back in the phone and mount the card. No issues until I try to copy, delete or modify and it unmounts and will not work. I have the original T-Mobile Rom and I have not rooted it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

[Q] SD-card problems after updating to Froyo

Hello there,
i got some problems after updating with kies to froyo. the sd card will not be recognized in my samsung 5800 anymore. i tried to format the sd card, to use some other sd cards and flash some other custom 2.2 roms with the same result. i also tried to mount the sd card manually with no success. if i flash back to the original 2.1 version everythin works fine.
could someone please help me?

Is there no idea?

install mini tool partition and convert ur whole mem card to single unpartitioned space(PC)
insert the unpartitioned card to ur phone with 2.2 of ur choice (Kies or custom)
u will get the message that the card is damaged in ur notifications tray
goto settings>SD card>format card
it should work if not
try another card with ur phone and identify if the problem is with the card or phone

thank you,
but i just tried to insert an unpartitioned card with the same problem. also other cards will not be recognized. after booting it shows "scanning for mediafiles... ", but nothing happens. i also can´t install update.zip in the recovery mode.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted
i would say that the problem is with the phone. but i don´t understand it, cause everytime i flash back to 2.1 everything works fine.
Maybe there are some problems with the driver for the sd card slot???

Did you take the SD card out before flashing the rom? If not keep your SD card out and reflash.

thank you for the hint. i took out the sd card befor flashing and i tried it a lot of times.

Found a solution yet?

go back to 2.1 and make sure that the sd card is in working condidion
now update to kies WITH SD CARD INSIDE THE PHONE
i personally use custom roms which is better than what samsung releases as a tideover...........but that's my opinion lol

Sorry, but i also tried that a cuple of times. i updates by kies, i flashed different types of roms (customs and originals) and in no 2.2 version it works. i don´t unterstand where ist the problem. i tried different custom roms too, because i thought they might be better.
is there any chance of protocolling the boot up ? i want to see if my phone ist trying to mount the sd card.

well it seems that ur phone is at fault
if u still have warranty then put the stock 2.1 rom and give it to the samsung service guys they'll replace ur cell
be sure to have both boot and rom as stock without rooting

[Q] a7 no longer reads sd card, what can I do?"

My a7 was running well for about a week since it had previously quit/locked up...but today when I booted up device, it failed to recognize sd card...same card used for updating to mod 1.4...same card I've been using to listen to my music, etc...but now won't recognize...I've tried two different micro sdhc cards..formatted, reformatted, but device continues to display mount sd card...all else works fine! Does anyone have any new ideas? I can't even reinstall mod since a7 can't read my cards. Thanks for any input that would be helpful. I understand these issues are ongoing for many out there...what to do?

I have a similar problem, but not exactly the same.
Since the A7 has an internal SD card, it will only allow me to download data to that card. Now, the internal SD (not internal memory) is completely full and so I can't download anything period to my device. So, videos, music, docs, photos that I try to download from the internet fails. Also Droid Tv can't download anymore shows bec it says the SD card is full. I've ask several so call experts about they don't know why? Can anyone help me?

Deepmagic: I would probably try a complete wipe and reinstall.
Doopyboy: this has been pointed in another thread, these tablets sd internal has more memory then cell phone device, if you want memory back delete or move files to sdcard-disk(micro sdcard)

Have you tried the reset button on the rear of the unit? I think I have read about that clearing this issue up for others.

... I don't know where to start with this post. It doesn't make sense.
Please explain what you are describing as "internal SD (not internal memory)"
You do know that the device's internal memory is /mnt/sdcard/ and that the MicroSD slot mounts as /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk/ right?

SD Card

hello, so after recently using WP7, I've found myself unable to use my SD Card
Windows doesn't recognize it (That sd card formatting tool that's in several stickies, DISKPART, device manager, etc.) (I've also used 2 MicroSD -> SD Card adapters in an attempt to fix)
my phone doesn't recognize it (WP7 will use it) (Magldr says it clears the MBR, and I've reinstalled WP7 in an attempt to use the sd formatting tool, but no avail, and CWM fails to recognize it)
I've also installed busy box on my phone and tried to fdisk it, I plugged a 1GB microsd card I have into the phone while in android, used 'mount' got the /dev/ location of the sdcard (/dev/block/void/179:1) and swapped cards, but it won't open the stock 16GB
any ideas XDA?

I had this Problem one time too. My Solution was to put the 16GB Mirco-SD Card inside the SD-Adapter. After that i plug this SD-Card inside my Digital-Camera ( Powershot G7 ) and make a "Deep Format". After that, everything works fine...
Maybe this helps!
Happy Christmas,
Michael

Thanks for the tip, I've tried it on one camera but it was a rather crappy one and it just froze the camera o.o
going to try with my nicer camera when I get home
--edit--
eek. tried it on a PowerShot Aesomething and it jsut said memory card error and greyed out the format button, might be time for a new card, oh well, I could go for a higher class on android since it lags my apps a bit

my note not recognise my SD card

Hello. Plz help.my note not recognize my sd card suddenly when i power off the phone then opened again. In addition the computer also suddenly nt recognize phone but the odin recognise when put it in USB debugging mode.also when open gallary it says SD card is in USB storage mode......thanks alot

does the sd card work in a different phone?

same here, my sd card works on other phone

Yes it works....also when opening camera it says turn off usb mass storage

But in recovery mood.it can read the sd when click on install zip from sd card

In recovery mode the inbuild memory is called sdcard, some not-stock recovery can separate between the two memories.
That said, your mentioning maybe wrong.
Is the card mSDXC, or regular mSDHC?
If there's nothing important on your card, try to format it inside the Note.
If there's important stuff on it, copy it to your pc (using a USB-SDHC-Cardreader) and format it inside the Note after that.
Sometimes the connection between the sdcard and the phone gets disturbed, so manual ejection of the sdcard out of the Note, cleaning the sdcard-contacts and putting it in again (repeat for 2 to 4 times) may help, too.
Regards

first: thank u, still the same issue even with other sd cards. i tried to install new rom by odin,it started progress but at the end of the progress it stopped at the word(hidden) in the box.

I have a 32Gb card installed in my phone and the Format card bit is greyed out. Any reason for this? Thanks in advance!
