Fixing sd card - XPERIA X8 General

I'm having a weird problem with my 16gb sd card I've been using gingerdx 15 and Linux dx 003 and first off my card was working fine but I left the battery die then after turning phone back on the phone is acting as if there's no card is inserted nothing happens when I insert it and it won't Mont or anything I've tryed my old 1gb and it works fine so I tryed the card in a card reader and windows can access it fine so copyed all my stuff off it and run a full disk check and didn't give any errors so I formatted it yet the phone still wont acknowledge the card I don't understand what's going on as the card appears to be fine as windows can read and write to it fine does anyone know why this is happening?

Maybe you can try reformat on the phone?

I can't as it just says there's no sd card inserted all the options are unavailable just acts as if I haven't inserted one

In my case i reverted to SE stock ROM eclair and reformat from there.A lot work to do...
Maybe someone here have other solution...

I thought about flashing back just not sure if it will make any difference as far as detecting the card

I have the same problem with my 8GB card in GingerDX, KuyaDroid and GingerCrutz. In GingerXperia, GingerKaskus SD works fine. In CWM 4.0.1.5 my SD is not mounted and I can't mount it manually.
Sorry for bad English.

Well I've just tried flashing back to stock but no luck it still wont read the card

Same...
Same problem.
Try to format it with SDFormater on Pc with Cardreader, on other mobile...
Is it possible the linuxDX does crash some sd?
btw. sometimes my computer can read the sd card but only ~5 mins than crash. Mobile can't read it

I think it was something to do with gingerdx as only had problems with it after installing it and have u tried running check disk on your card to see if it finds errors as I don't have the 5 min thing with computer as my card reads perfectly on computer all the time as I've even done surface scans and it comes up with no errors and ive tried copying music and videos to it and they playback fine

His problem is not same with this.
LDX is fixing the /sdcard path
His case is the SD card not recognized by phone.
Probably too large memory for our phone.

looks like my cheap sd goes broken. lifetime at 14 days...

sd read only problem

Hi Im currently running wildpuzzle 0.7 and have an issue where the sd card becomes read only. un mount mount do not help, app can not have write access like camera for instance. Under windows file permissions appear ok.
Any clues?
Regards.
Problem resolved by connecting USB, using windows to check drive errors on card.
Thanks.
I would still love to know what may have caused it..........

dont think so pal, happened to me with stock card from phone :/
True, happened to me as well, and, only formatting the SD solved it. This happened to me using the stock card.
This happened when I was playing around with A2SD, and had created an EXT partition using ROM Manager. It worked well for a fe whours, then these errors started creeping up and I had to format it. Could be something wrong there....

Sd card won't mount via phone or pc. Help?

So this morning I was deleteing files off my sd card from my phone. Then tried to mount it through my computer to put some files on. Wouldn't mount on the pc via the phone.
Disconnected it and it no longer was mounted on my phone.
Took out the card and used a card reader and it no longer was able to be read on my pc without the phone.
Anyone have any ideas to get my sd card back and working. Currently I had to resort to using a 2gb card that I could fill within seconds.

Mine did this yesterday after flashing a ROM. Lost everything. I was able to see things using CWM but not the phone itself or the PC. Formatted it with CWM and it wiped everything but still the phone or computer wouldnt read it. I waited a couple hours and loaded it back into my computer and just left it. A couple minutes later Windows popped up a box asking if I wanted to format it. I did a quick format and it read the card size. Previously it errored out saying it could not format it. I dont know what happened and why it all of a sudden worked

what did you do to solve the problem? I've run into a similar issue, here is a link to a thread I created in Q&A
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218414
I still won't have access to a pc until tomorrow, hopefully ubuntu will be able to work some magic for me
I formatted after using the options under error checking failed. Everything moved exceptionalling slow while doing this however.
I did it under windws xp. Not much difference with win7 or vista I suppose. Ubuntu even.

Everyone having SD card issues, before you format it or do other crazy stuff, try going into your gallery on the phone first. Works for me everytime my sd goes "invisible"

I get this problem too... I find that it also has a read error when I shake the device aggresively... requiring me to remove the SD and reinsert it... it probably wouldn't be too bad if the SD & Sim card had swapped places, at least then you wouldn't need to power down your device to remove & reinsert the SD card...

[Q] U8800 (not Pro) 2.3.5 beta 1.0 issues

Does anyone have issues with the SD card after the upgrade?
It says that my 16Gb Sandisk format is unsupported but it fails to format and mount it.
Do you have the chance to format the card directly with your phone instead with the computer?

men, you can put the SD on the garbage because it happen the same to mine to. It's impossible to read it is destroy.

I tried doing it using Settings/Storage/Format via the phone as well but that failed.
Using the SD Formatter from the SD Association worked where Windows Quick Format failed. Never had that before.

Maybe you can search the SDCard in the bin and try to format with the SD Formatter
I had that happening to me before also. This stopped happening after a couple reflashes of the international version. SD mounting on recovery is still broken though.
Too bad the rom never stays operational for more than 1 or 2 hours... it always ends up in a reboot and bootloop until full wipe.
HI
I have updated new 2.3.5 but my screan keeps restarting after Huwei Icon
happens to me also.. now my fone can't read SD card.....
My phone doesn't turn off after i reverted to 2.2.2! When i turn it off, it reboots only. And that is happening everytime! And when i restored a backup, the phone boots only into recovery and then also everytime!

Just so people don't think it happens to everyone, I'm using a 16GB microSD card and it mounts just fine.
Before, when I had an Optimus Boston (Gigabyte GSmart G1305) with CM7 (2.3.*) and the card failed to mount, but after some upgrade it started working. With the 2.1 stock ROM it worked.
Can't tell if the problem was fixed by the CM crew or came from the vanilla android code though.

SD Card deleting files issue

Hi,
I have Omega v41 Lollipop rom. Whenever i delete anything on my sd card it appears again after the reboot. I am not sure what is causing this. Any suggestions?

Does it work if you delete it from your pc?
It might be a dead sd card otherwise.

Can you add files to it?
Is the card set up as being write protected?
I have tried pc formatted the card and also used the phone format method. 40gb worth of data keeps coming back in original format.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I guess it has reached it write limit.
You can try another card to see if the problem persists. If it does your phone is screwy. If it doesn't the SD card is cooked.
Yeah guys it looks like card is becoming faulty. Tried another sd card phone has formatted it fine and using it now. Its a shame how these card break so easily.

I had mine for 2 or 3 years and haven't had any problems.
Depends on what brand you get.
