[Q] Big SD Problem.....HELP

Hy every body, does some one heard about SD damaged after a FAT32/EXT4 Format?
Let me explain myself:
I've SD-FROMATTED my sd, then using GPARTED LIVE SD in my HD2 in MAGLDR
i've created two partitions:
1/ FAT32
2/ EXT4
I do have click on "apply".
Now, my SD is unreadable and unrecognized by my phone.
The oly way i have to use it now is FAT32 only.
It is the third time i do the partitioning on this SD and it's the first time it does'nt work
HEEELP!!!
I've heard about file corruption using MAGLDR USB MassStg...Is-it true
Thanks for your anwers

No answer? Nobody?

download panasonic SD Formatter 3.0 and that will sort it no probs.
matt

Try Panasonic SD Formatter as mentioned above. With the stock SD card I've had problems formatting using a card reader, however. I had to flash back to a windows mobile rom, connect to PC as a hard drive (not active sync) and re-format the card via that method. It's a pain, but try this if you're really stuck.

Thanks i'll try those methodes

i use minitool partition manager
but first go to control panes, then computer management, devices, find your sd card and right click on it. select create new disk label and that should solve your problem.
now after that run minitool partition manager and you 'll be able to see your sd car as new disk (or something) just create a new partition as (fat32, primary) format maybe that could solve your problem.
(the same thing happen to mee and i was about to cry because of it)
(sorrry for bad english, i'm still learning)

Thanks kof102. I'm on it

Also, as a long time Android recovery user (I went through several Android phones before coming around to the HD2), I would highly recommend formatting your card using Clockwork Recovery.

One problem can be that when try create a Ext partition using CWR it only creates an Ext2 which isn't really the best.

I've seen on differnt French forums that i'm not alone. Is there a Risk formatting and partitioning an SD Card, that is not done for, to damage allocation Table?
My SD is dead now. Not even my PC, my Phone or else are abble to find my SD. Have you heard about that?

No answer? No body?

try using EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition with this u will be able to see what is going on.. hope it helps.

Thanks, Have you allready heard about that befor?

I had a problem with my SD it didn't come up on my pc too,when I was playing with the dual booting partition making for wp7 and android. some how it messed up and SD didn't come up so I found this program Easeus and some how managed it to work again it was a simple problem that all I had to do is to recreate the partition and only after that u can format it. if it doesn't exist u format nothing actualy lol.
hope u have the same problem.

I've tried EASUS but it was unable to read my SD...
I think it's dead now...
I've bought an other one and part it with CWM. It's EXT2 but it work perfectly!
Maybe it could be nice to check if nobody else had the same than me...and tell it to Master COTULLA!

No body else?

[Q] SDcard issues =(

Hi there guys,
I have a T-MOUS LEO 1024 with only the stock 16GB sdcard that came with my phone. I really would like to try those new MUIU builds flying around on the forums, but I get getting sdcard is damaged you might need to reformat.
Here is my problem. i can seem to be only to format sdcard while its in the phone. I have tried reformatting with on android Os and win6.5 os...i still get same issue with those MUIU builds. my pc does not have a built in card read so I cannot you the Panasonic sd reformater g parted.
Is my only option is to have a sdcard reader for my pc?
any ideas would help.
thanks guys
Lawrance the Noobie =)

I was able to fix a similar issue by running the format sd card option in the android os, then booting to recovery and using the partition tool in cwm to delete the partitions and start fresh. I don't know that this method is failsafe, but it certainly saved my class 6 card from the trash.
Oh, and I am sure you know, but the increase in performance you get from using a higher class card makes it a good investment when you are able.

external sd card not mounted miui

hi folks.
here's the thing. i just flashed miui 2.1.13 .32 kernel. and when i go to file explorer, i can only see my internal sd card. no matter what program i use... same. AND when i pull out extrenal sd card, phone says that there is NO sd card inserted. but when i put it back in, everything is back to same.
help? thank you

try to push the card slightly to one side or the other. That happened to me too and it was the card that wasn't making contact with the phone.

I got the solution with X5-Setting. Here ist a option for internal or external Card

awesome that helped thank you

I'm running .35 kernel, and have noticed that the last few releases of MIUI wont mount the external SD card after a shutdown & startup. It says the SD card is corrupted & needs to be formatted. I even exchanged the SD card for a new one and I still kept getting the problem. I found that rebooting the phone fixes the problem - the SD is now mounted. So it seems to only be a problem after doing a full shutdown - not a restart.

Managed to kill one of my sdcards in the latest miui, it got dced al the time and now i cant write, delete or format it. Have tried it on my laptop without luck. So be careful

Hi,
I have the same problem! If I power on the smartphone from a full shutdown my sdcard (the external one, 16 GB Sandisk) is not mounted, then if I restart the X5 Pro, Android mount correctly my external sdcard.
For this reason I wanted to change sdcard (before I had a Sandisk 4GB) with a new Sandisk 16GB sdcard. The problem is still here
How can I fix this problem?
I flashed a lot of different roms, based on B512, B540, custom gingerbread 2.3.4, Gingerbread by Genokolar, porting U8860 Huawei Honor for X5Pro, CyanogenMod 7.1 but I have always the same problem.
Please developers, find a solution because it is not a nice bug.
Regards,
kalo86

Experiencing the same problem on my U8800, MIUI 2.1.20, 2.6.35 kernel. After shutdown, the sdcard will not mount. Have to reboot to get it to work again.

Hi, I have the same problem and for this reason I opened a new thread discussing this bug.

Well after some many reads and trying different things to get my sd card to mount/read, I have found something that worked. For me anyway!
I am using GT2 P3113 with AOKP milestone 1 Rom JB 4.1!
Download SD FORMATTER 3.1 (free)
Install and run SD Formatter
Using ClockworkMod Recovery, Wipe/Reset tab (after backup)
Reboot
Insert newly formatted card and you should be good to go.
This may be posted somewhere else here, I didn't find it and I know I am answering my own question. Just thought it could help someone else!

[Q] SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem

Hello guys,
I have a Galaxy S5 G900T running the AllianceRom 3.1 made for G900F. I use an external SD Card SanDisk 16GB and since yesterday I never had a problem.
So, now I'm experiencing this error: "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem" on Notification Panel. When I click on it, android asks me if I want to format the card, I click OK, and at the end the same problem occurs.
Things I already tried to do:
1) I tested the SD Card into another Galaxy S5 and it's running OK without the problem;
2) I formatted the SD card (full format) on a windows computer. Windows recognizes it, and it's running OK;
3) I checked the file vold.fstab on /etc folder and it has the same content as another Galaxy S5 that is running OK the SD card;
4) I re-flashed the AllianceRom 3.1;
[EDIT 1]
5) Tried to wipe the SD Card using TWRP Recovery (as image 1 attached)
6) Tried to partitioning using TWRP Recovery (as image 2 attached)
[EDIT 2]
7) I bought another SD Card, a Samsung 64GB and when I insert it on device I don't get this error, but also not able to mount, it doesn't even recognizes the SD card.
p.s. I searched a lot on XDA, even on Google, and those was the possible solutions I've found, but didn't work for me.
Does someone experienced this problem and was able to fix?
Does anyone knows another alternative that could work?
Thanks in advance

Copy the content of the sdcard to the pc and format the card on the phone itself, that should fix the issue.

The strange thing is that I'm able to access the ext SD Card on TWRP Recovery, as you can see on the image attached... I even copied a file (backup.txt) into it.

Have you tried another SD card in your phone? EDIT: Nevermind this bit
When you plug the SD card into your handset (do it while it's off) Does the SD Storage show anything?
You could try formatting it in another handset if you have the chance then try plugging it in.
Are you using stock Sammy firmware? Or have you installed a custom kernel? Could be one of those playing havoc with your device if so, back up and revert to stock if you can, retest the SD in there.
Test to see if you can retrieve data from the SD card, i've found that although SD cards show up in windows, when I attempt to copy data to the PC it fails, when I say fail I mean it stops progressing and doesn't copy, particular files appear corrupt.
You could also do a chkdsk /f /r via windows on the SD card, or even a general error check.
chances are one of these things will be the culprit, if none and it's still working in another phone and other cards are working in your device then i'm stumped.
Good luck

I would try philz recovery, i had all kinds of problems with twrp on my note 3 and s5 until switching. Not knocking twrp this is just my experience

I formatted my device right now and installed Samsung stock firmware with stock kernel. I also tried to get back to stock recovery, then installed CWM and TWRP, but the same problem
I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem, because I tried everything and nothing happened.

Quite an odd one that, i'm a little stumped.
did you try error checking on windows? OR even a format in a different handset? OR a different card in your phone to see if to see if it reads?
On the other hand if the phone isn't that old, return it, 28 day swap should be good if you're in time, otherwise it's back to sammy.
sorry I can't be of more help m8.

Same problem with GalaxyS5 and 64 GB card
I am having the same issue with a 64GB memory card in the Galazy S5. Blank or unsupported file system.... doesn't format in phone. works great on PC and even on old Motorola Razr phone, format exFAT and FAT32 tried but the phone doesn't care.

HEEELLLPPPP
Thanks
David

Same problem with GalaxyS5 and 64 GB card
Have you found a solution to the OP?
I have an S5 too and it's doing exactly the same. I tried a 64GB Sandisk and Samsung cards, both work flawlessly in PC, MAC and even a different phone. WTH???? My 32GB Sandisk works well in the GAlaxy S5 too, I am about to see if it blends....

Same here. My phone already went in for repair for this and the front camera ring falling issue. Mine was preordered and shipped at launch. It worked a few weeks and now has stopped again. Simply won't recognize any SD cards. I tried an old 2GB, a Kingston 16GB, a Lexar 32GB from my GoPro, and a Sandisk 64GB. All cards work elsewhere, but my S5 never indicates anything is inserted. This is my first Samsung, and it might be my last. I never experienced issues like this on an HTC.

Any progress here? I just got a sweet 64g card Samsung because my others have worked well BUT...
S5 Blank SD card of death. ....
