Same thing happened to my wife's SDcard, in her G2. I have no clue how it happened. I ended up just formatting the whole SDcard i didn't feel like messing with it.

I believe you have to hook up your phone to the usb and laptop/computer make sure it disk drive. Then your. Computer picks it up, now open it on your computer right click on the folder where your other folders are.. go to properties and I do believe at the bottom you gonna see 2 "read only and hidden" option uncheck the read only. Sorry for the confusions.

I got it working I put the SD card on my EVO 4g and it got rid of read only and just put it back on my mytouch

Formatting is another option. But you going to lose all data store on the SD card.

I was messing around with qik app trying to enable live streaming and now all my pictures and videos are gone. When I say all I mean all! Is there anything I can do about it... I've been up all night due to some very important top secret stuff I need back in my possession.

Yea... There not on my sd card at all. Nor on the qik site. Is there a way I can recover them...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
thats a negative, if they are not on your sd card where they suppose to be, then they definitely lost for ever... sorry bud.
dont give up so quickly... before you do anything to your sd card, download "pandora recovery" its free and i have used it to successfully restore deleted items from usb/sd memory
@dr154.... Your losing the theory of having a droid... "In a world that doesn't... DROID DOES!" downloaded diskdigger 0.8. I was able to recover 89.9% of my pictures and videos. Better than "sorry bud"

So.. For some goofy reason... for the past 2 hours my Fascinate has been asking me to Turn off USB Storage, and it tells me that its Preparing SD Card...
Here is the kicker... Its not plugged in to anything...
I have a Voodoo 0.2 Kernel with 1.2Ghz on the Fly... It has been working since I last posted about a week or 2 ago... So if its nothing I can fix, I would like to know how to properly Hard reset the phone... I am afraid to just go to Privacy, and Wipe Data, etc... Voodoo is weird...
I will try a few things in the mean time, but any help is appreciated.
(EDIT) I tried to plug it in to the computer, and I can't get it to mount without it wanting to prepare the SD card... I was going to put on a Voodoo/disable_lagfix but running into a problem with that...
Goodluck. I'm blaming voodoo.

Fml... again.. Dont RTFM... I have tried a Odin Restore to stock, and its just chilling at the Verizon Wireless screen now... I am waiting for it to kick back on (hopefully)...
I did put a Voodoo/disable_lagfix... I had to use lightning speed. lol.
How long should a boot up take after a Odin restore?
Ok. Voodoo sucks. I lost my info on my phone.
BUT IT FIXED MY PROBLEM! lol.
Standard kernels for me.
Voodoo does suck my phone aint mounting no more so no more flashing anything for me.. FML
Try formatting your sd card?

I managed to kinda fix it by putting a Voodoo/disable_lagfix and then Odin restore..

The formatting fails all the time... saying the card is read only or some crap.. but I can still use the card when downloading music directly off phone or pics etc.

Plugged in to a memory card reader right? Do you have a separate memory card to the the disable_lagfix?

Congrats on the new baby boy!!!!
I had the same issue in the past with my SD and it was cashed.
If that's the case and you can use the 2GB for a few days I recommend this guy

Yeah, I was able to copy everything to my laptop. You can try formatting after copying it all.
I've found mounting to a pc and scanning the drive for issues works fine.

SO what i did was, put the sdcard in an adapter and plugged it into my comp.
Computer>M: (in this case it mounted as M)>right click> properties > tools tab > error-checking "Check now" > check both auto fix checkboxes > scan
It said it found some errors and fixed them.
put back in phone and now issues.... yet.
I've read that rooting with Gingerbreak works with the latest update, but also might erase the internal storage. Exactly what part of the internal storage might be erased? EVERYTHING, or just installed apps, ringtones, music, etc...?
Anything on internal storage, if u click on app files and go to internal storage anything there, so if u don't put apps on sd ur fine but some of its files it saves will be gone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
So... basically my best bet would be to make a copy of everything i can onto my computer before attempting the root?
Yes

And..... another question. Is a microSD card actually required for it, or no?
I never remove my sd so I am not sure
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yes an external SD card is required. You will be prompted to have one when you first install gingerbreak. I had to go out and buy one.
just copy su file in /osh/bin with some name. your root will be preserved.

I hope I put this in the right thread. I flashed a different kernal, clicked set on boot with setcpu and it instantly locked up my phone. Now I've lost all my photos and videos and my sd card is blank. Any ideas if any on how to retrieve them. Thank you in advance

There's a software online called "minitool power data recovry". It has a price ($40-$145, they have a functional demo), but its performed miracles for me in terms of data recovery.
But my first recomendation, anytime you experience data loss, STOP everything your doing with the drive (or sdcard), every second you try to access it, you might be loosing more and more data.

After you figure out this mess get Titanium Media Sync so you don't have these problems anymore. I gather you don't have a cwm backup?

Also never pick SetCPU for set changes on boot until you thoroughly test your settings. This way it will restore to stock settings if you lock up and have to reboot. The same goes to Voltage Control or any overclocking/undervolting app. Every phone is different and requires custom settings and extensive testing.

Did you pull the card out and put it in a card reader on a computer to see if your data is still there?

Had the same issue 2 days ago... Was using google books, got up and heated up some food, came back and I had a notification saying "sd card blank." removed and put it back in... (that's wut she said)... Same thing... Completely stock from asurion with 16 gb sd card. Haven't had access to a pc I can play with for a couple of weeks otherwise I woulda tried the previous post... Anyone else get this?

Its this something wrong with my phone that damaged the sd card or
Did I just get a bad card... If its the latter will TEP replace it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Edit: went to Sprint store and told them about my problem. they didn't ask any questions just replaced the sd card... Unfortunately they said they were out of 16 gb cards so I got an 8, however they gave me the 16 gb bad card back and a business card with the store managers signature on it and said come back in a week with the SD card and they will replace it... Seems like I'll get to keep the 8 gigger (as he put it) too...
I saw this problem earlier in the week, and my friend's epic wiped all pics/videos- blanked it, but somehow kept the apps.. the data was still there- I used diskdigger (pc app from diskdigger.org, which you have to pay for- i think it's $15 now) and an usb sd card reader. I did a surface scan for traces of files (dig deeper), where you have to tell it what to look for (eg: look for .jpgs only), and it pulled up a ton of files- some of them browser cache files, some were the missing pics, etc. I guess you could use any file recovery program, but the thing to remember: if you think you lost everything, don't use the sd card! Writing anything to it might write over the files you are trying to recover. A new 16gb card off amazon is around $30. I'd love to know why the epic erases everything.
I have had a kernel do this to me twice in the past. Turned out to be some error in script. It has long since been fixed. It was like my SD card got formatted. Everything was gone. Hope that's not the case for you. Out of curiousity, which kernel did you flash?

Yes same thing for me got replacement with card from Asurion and I am convinced now their cards are not probably 16gb and faulty. I can't access the card at all on my pc even with some advanced tools.
