ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.
i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?
Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.
thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.
No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.
Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

lemme try that...i formatted it through my computer and unchecked "quick format" and after like 30 minutes it finished with an error.. hopefully this works.
gparted
ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

storage tool for wm
Ok
dr_derqami said:
Download " storage tool" for wm. Install it. Send shortcut to start up so that as soon as wm boots it ll find the sd card. When u get storage tool workin u ll have options choose formate or fix the sd then it ll work. It worked for me.

well formatting it through cmd didn't work...everything was still there on the card. lemme try your method now... thanks.
delete file by file and see which one is locked on the card.
change permissions on the sd card.
try to delete files from the winmo
try to overwrite the android folder and start it with another build and then format after a sucessfull start.

yea.. i used mattcleo 1.6b. i can actually still boot up android...but even in android i can't delete anything using astro. I tried replacing android folder using a card reader but that didnt work either... i'm going to try that storage tools suggestion..but i doubt anything will work. CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.
Ok
Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors
Hi guys and girls.
i switched to android a while back now and have been really impressed. so much so that i have just bought myself a new 16gb micro sd card as an upgrade to the stock 2gb i recieved......
.... however now i have a problem. i have managed to copy all the files from my old micro sd card over except for what i imagine is the main one.... the data.img file. without this file i basically have to start all over again, re downloading all my apps, re setting all the settings etc and i lose all my messages and emails.
when i try and copy data.img to my hard drive it doesnt like it it comes up with the error I/O device error (0x8007045D)
googleing this hasnt really helped.
has anyone else had a similar problem? also how did they fix it?
if i cant copy my data.img file are there any other ways around having to redownload my apps and program my files etc?
thanks loads
Have you booted in WinMo to transfer these files? USB Mass Storage in Android isn't 100% functional and stable...
hi there,
yeah tried in android, winmob and using a microsd to sd adaptor in my laptop..
....and other ideas?
did the card you bought come with micro SD to SD adapter? that's what I use to copy files to and from my micro SD to my computer.

Try this.
Try this... Zip the file in the native microSD card then copy the file on the new card and at last but not least unzip the file.
thanks for your replys
masta - ive got one of those too and its the first thing i tried... sadly no luck
stanley - yeah i tried this to no avail it begins to zip it then freaks out half way through..... good idea tho
any other thoughts guys?
Boot back up with your old card, run Android, and back everything up with Titanium Backup. Copy the newly created backup folder over to the root of your new card. It's the long road, but it will get you there. Then let it create the new data image in your new card and redownload Titanium Backup and restore your files.
Good luck.

This problem started about 4 months ago.
I have been using Android on my HD2 since the SD days and since i started NAND flashing 3 different roms have now deleted my complete gallery & music.
Why is this happening? Every other file is intact and the SD card is fine.
Last night my SD card wasn't readable by the phone after this happened, worst case so far.
I formated now and flashed a new ROM.
If this happens again i am done with this HD2 bull**** and i am getting a galaxy s2.
I have never lost my vids,imgs! Have u tried another sd card?
This is a premium brand authentic one.
Shouldn't be the cards fault
Please provide more details. Check and scan your media files (vids,music) for malware on pc before copying them to sd card coz my friend had same problem;his whole gallery,media files used to get deleted after copying to sd card! GoodLuck!
Make sure there is NO ".nomedia"-file in root folder of sd-card. Some app's create such file and after rebooting your phone no media-app is scanning folders which include a file named ".nomedia"

"Shouldn't " doesn't mean "isn't",, it "shouldn't" be the hd2, but you're happy enough to believe that it is,, its a premium brand, authentic phone, which seems to be enough for the card, why not the phone? There are no similar "my hd2 wiped my perfectly good SD card" claims elsewhere that I've seen, ,but there ARE "my perfectly good SD card screwed up and everything has gone" threads.
There probably isn't an easy way to tell, only keep regular backups and keep an eye on it.
So ive been I having the problem for a few days. It was all good just a week ago. Then suddenly my music player and the gallery containg my photos were unable to find the media on the sd card. But I can play or view the media by manually looking thru file explorer. When it first started to happen i could power cycle my phone and it would go back normal. Does anyone know how to solve this problem with out either getting a new sd card or reformating. Its been sometime since i installed the android nand and dont have the patients to install it again....
I suspect the SD card, if you have a card reader, remove the sd card (remove the battery first of course) and then copy/past all your stuff from each partition to the computer.
Download EASEUS free version and note the partition types and sizes then delet all partitions format and readd the partitions and their contents
If it was me I would just delete all partitions after saving my important photos/music then reformat.
Task 29 and reinstall the rom, only takes a few minutes, if you have done it once or twice already
Then copy the stuff back
Thanks bruh! I thank ima do that. Or I just found my wife's old memory card. Ill just swap it out she wouldn't know the difference... but definitely going try your way first...

Nice to hear
I loved Stock Android around when KitKat was out, but I came to hate it when Lollipop came out. I decided to get the Moto X and try out Marshmallow, but I'm already running into problems with/hating Google's (and Motorola's) oversimplified features.
Usually when I get a phone a put in an SD card so I can store some apps and data on there, as well as music, pictures, files, etc. that has been on the card for years. I pop in the SD card to the 16 gig phone ready to move Spotify and some other apps to the card, but then I run into that whole "format as internal storage. It says that formatting it will wipe the card (obviously), but it also says once I do I will only be able to use the SD card with this device, and when I asked a friend for help, she said I wouldn't be able to transfer data from the card anymore either.
I started searching everywhere on the internet for a workaround, but I can't find anything. Is there any workaround with this? I'm already rooted and on a ROM so I'm open to any suggestions. If not I'm just going to sell the phone or downgrade to lollipop.
Which version of twrp are you using ?
You need to make sure you have this version of twrp.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3200520
Prior to this version, twrp was broke in regards to the new adaptable storage that came in Android M, then finally a few weeks ago, 3.0.0 came out, fixed that, and also a few other things. I can not use the combined/adaptable storage feature in Marshmallow like it was intended. To be honest, it was the major reason I got this phone and bought the 16gb version. Its all good now tho.

Can you explain what the problem is again? Starting with twrp 3.0 , adaptable storage should work as its suppose to.
And yeah I just seen 3.0.1 is out I'm thinking just flashing the .IMG will work, I used flashify

The problem is Marshmallow wants me to format my SD card as internal storage just to store apps on it, and I am trying to find a way to store apps on there without formating it, as I've been doing with all previous Android versions.
I don't get why you wouldn't want to use the adaptable storage option. What's wrong with backing ur sd up to pc, format as internal(adaptable storage? , and then copy back from pc. If I'm missing something, my bad.
Otherwise,
Pretty sure there isn't way to do what you want on 6.0... But again, I don't know what you are actually losing out on other than having to back the card 1st, format, and copy back. A small hassle

I don't want to use the adaptable storage because I will only be able to use the SD card with this phone and I won't be able to transfer data from it either.
This is a problem because I currently use the SD card between two phones, as a makeshift flash drive, and as storage for my DSLR so I can edit photos with my phone.
I went through this whole ordeal myself recently.
You can't have it both ways. I chose to format my card as portable storage so it will remain readable in any card reader. The draw back is apps can't be stored on it, nor most app data.
To work around this i'm making every app a system app. This will alleviate some of the burden of the internal storage. Some apps will just not work as system apps. I think swype is one example.
Some apps will require their .lib to be placed in the appropriate lib folder under system (lib or lib64 for 64bit binaries). Google maps and hangouts are two examples that come to mind. You'll know if you need this if the app crashes when starting.
The ideal solution is to have a phone with at least 32GB storage or more. This becomes a non issue then.
Yeah, Motorola removed the Move to SD card feature in favor of "the richer experience natively provided by Android."
I think you can use TWRP "Partition SD Card" to create 2 partitions on the SD, though... a FAT32 partition to share with your other devices and an EXT4 partition that you can use to store apps. You'll need an android app like Mounts2SD to copy apps to/from the external storage.
The other option is to downgrade to 5.1.1 or use a 6.0 ROM that still has the old Move to SD card feature. I'm not sure if there are any, though.

To the op Sorry man, I didn't really know all this. But this post seems to explain it pretty well. Looks like you may have to sell or downgrade. That sucks.
As far as this specific post is concerned, I'm trying to follow my best. As you said, best would be to buy at least at 32gb well some, including me have already bought a 16gb, unfortunately. Personally, iv chose to use adaptable now that twrp 3.0 is out. When i Install apps, wherever they go is where they go. After seeing this thread, I'm thinking maybe there is way to do things a different way to save some space. I went ahead and went into apps and tried moving Spotify from internal to SD card. but after I did this, I noticed every time I close the app it signs me out lol wth... that's a problem. I didn't know why it was doing that. Is this an example of an app not being able to run correctly on the SD rather than internal? Also, i tried moving maps from internal to sd, seemed to be running fine, but shortly after, i noticed on a reboot, it somehow uninstsalls. Its gone as if i uninstalled it manually but i obv did not. Like what? How is this even possible. I wanted to give you a few examples of what i tried and what was happening. But I asked myself why am I even doing this, is it to save space? If it is, that's fine.
But yeah man, it seems you know more than me about this , that's safe to say. But based on what iv written here, can you give me some advice on things to do if I'm using the adaptable storage option. Should I be moving apps? Why? Which ones? Or just leave things as is? Again i have a 16gb model with a 32gb card running adaptable storage. If there are ways to save space by moving apps certain places I'm fine with that. I'd just like to get your opinion on what exactly I should be doing based on the model I have, size card, and running adaptable storage. Hey sorry too bother you about this. I had noticed you replied to the op of this topic and you know what you are talking about.
And to the op, sorry if iv hijacked your post man.
Peace

Yeah I should have gotten the 32gb version, although it's kind of my fault because I already had a negative opinion of post-kitkat stock Android yet I got the device anyways. Maybe I can resell the device on swappa and get a 32gb version instead of buying a new one, mainly because the only two phones of the 2015 generation I have interest in is the Moto X Pure and the One M9. Worst case scenario is settling for Samsung (as oneplus said, never settle)
To make matters worst, I temporarily moved all the data to my computer and formated the SD card as internal as a test, only to find out the two apps I put on there don't want to act properly because the SD card is too slow (which is why the feature shouldn't even be here in the first place).

If I do do one of those options it would most likely be the second one because last time I messed with partitions on an SD card I, somehow, bricked the phone. I could look for a tutorial somewhere, but this phone's XDA forums is relatively quiet compared to other phones I've had (especially Android development).
@Sheetzie03, I can't help you with adoptable space as it's not something I have much experience with. It could be spotify relies on other components which are not accessible when on the sd.
