i got 8gb memory card with my hd phone,it's 2 months old.suddenly memory card dosen't work on my phone. file manager does not show memory card even my phone shows the message 'install storage card'. now i am really worried,it seems like a big problem.i tried to another memory card but still shows the same issue.
plz suggest me how to get rid of it?.what to do now...............? .

same here..
for 6 months i hadnt got any problem.. but now the phone isnt recognizing the storage card

Use one of these to format your SD-card again:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html

I want to format it.. but I want to back up it first because I have a lot of things that I dont want to lose.. But even my pc, doesnt shows me the storage card.. doesnt recognize it, to back up it..
please help..

If even card reader on PC can't recognize contents of SD, you can probably throw away that SD...
But, for last chance, try to read it with SD reader which came with SD card (if that was a case) or on another PC...

I will try my SD card in another phone... i havent SD reader.. I havent done anything to my phone.. It was ok, when I woke up and my phone didnt recognize my SD..

I heard about a program called restoration.. search for this..
maybe this can help me?.. format my SD, and then restore my things on SD again?

sooner or later all sdcards die be sure to backup important data from your sdcard to your computer once in awhile

My experience....
I see a number of comments about this problem in the Touch HD so I will share my experiences.
My HD quit recognizing the memory card some time ago. Occasionally I could re-install a ROM and get it to function briefly. As soon as I installed programs on the card, the links would disappear and the card would become unreadable. I tried different cards, I tried new cards, I formatted the card on my PC, I ran task29 to clean ROM memory prior to installing a new ROM and I I tried the stock HTC ROM. The micro SD cards are always perfectly functional and readable on my PC and on other devices including a friend's Touch HD.
After all of this, I gave up and I now use the HD without a memory card. I have become very frugal with memory useage!
If anyone discovers a fix for this malady, your solution would be greatly appreciated.

I searched.. and the only I found is that we have, as soon as we get our new SD card, to do a FAT32.. so it will not have a lot of problemss

If the card is formatted correctly, and is recognisable in a PC and other devices, then it's more than likely to be a hardware issue.
I know, because one of my devices is also broken exactly like this. It's likely the SIM/SD Comboboard, but I've never found a supplier for spares . . anyone know of anywhere?

Hello guys,
Same problem with touch hd. tried everything mentioned. task29, different roms, other sd-cards, reformatting etc... still no luck!
hope someone is going to find a solution soon!
Greetings

disapearing micro SD
I also had the same problem some time ago when connecting to pc through USB opting for disc drive connection and not using the sync button, then solved the problem when I flashed a new ROM.
Regards,

I also have this problem.
I've had the 8GB SD Card for about a year now and untill now, its always worked without a problem.
I installed a Topix Rom this weekend. I also installed most of my programs to the storage card.
Within a day it was dropping in and out. I am able to see the card, but not run any mp3's off it.
When the card drops out, I can either take the card out and reinsert it or restart the phone and the card is visible again. It still cant play mp3s or videos though.
Anyone else having this problem since they've installed a new Rom?

Hello I'm new here, I couldn't find what i was looking for so hear i go...My sd card is not working either after about 1 year just stopped working the phone says it is not installed so is it possible to reinstall it? Thanks...
Quick update...
I tried formatting the sd card & it worked. Thanks people

yes
same as you

Spares for hardware fault
Just to add, as I said previously about my device, the SDCard reader was faulty, and HTC Europe refused to supply the part without a HTC Service Centre repair.
For anyone else having hardware issues, I managed to source the part from China, and now it's working perfectly again after a simple repair.

[Q] Issues with SD Card not mounting on CM10

Hi guys, long time reader and first time poster here with a question. I apologize in advance if this has been asked and answered, but I have searched throughout the nook forums and have not found a solution yet to my problem and any help is greatly appreciated.
I have been wanting to use CM10 as my daily driver on my nook for awhile now, however everytime I flash the ROM and get things set up, I run into an issue where the ROM does not consider my SD card to be mounted. I have adjusted the settings to be set to Mass USB Storage as one person suggested in the development thread, I have formatted it numerous times to try to see if that was causing the issue, and so far nothing has worked.
I know that the SD card that is in my nook is good as it shows up in ICS without any problems. Does anyone else have any idea on what I could try to get the SD card to mount properly in CM10?
Thanks again for any help, and many apologies if this is answered in another thread.

When you say mounted, you mean you cannot see it under storage devices within CM10? It does not show up in your file manager? That USB mass storage setting is just for seeing on your PC when you plug the USB cable in. It has nothing to do with seeing the card in CM10. And you tried formatting several times you said. How did you format it? In the PC with windows? You need to try SDFormatter which is a free windows program on the web. Other users have said that that makes them show up on the Nook. When the nook first starts up, it tries to read the SD and scan it, if it can't, it won't mount it. There could be something very simple wrong with the card that the nook sees and your PC does not.

Leap,
I have to apologize, I used the wrong terminology in my original post. It seems that the issue I am having is with the SD card being stuck in RO mode and not being able to write to it from CM10. Anything that I have tried to download via the Play Store fails to install with an error saying that it could not install to USB Storage or SD Card. I have formatted the card via Windows, CWM, and using the SDFormatter program to no avail. I have also tried to fix permissions via CWM and Rom Manager and that has not resulted in resolving the issue that I seem to be having. I love the speed at which CM10 runs, and if I can get the SD Card to be RW it would easily replace the ICS build that I've been using forever now, I just don't know what else I can try to get the card to be RW while running CM10.

The problem is CM10 is very finicky about the format on the card. If it does not like it, it mounts it read only. Look for SDFormatter on the web and format with that. Should fix it.
Edit, I just reread and said you tried that. That should have fixed it. Do it again but turn off quick format.

Leap,
Thank you for all the help you've provided, however it doesn't seem that doing a long format with overwrite in SD Formatter got it to work. I'm going to retreat back to ICS for now.

Just a question, after you format the card, do you move any files in it? I had the same exact problem and it must have been a defective file in my titanium backup folder because I had no problem using the same sd when I synch'd titanium via dropbox.
I installed the 19/11 nightly and it is better than anything I ever run on nook. even CM7

Tschumi,
After I finish formatting it via SD Formatter, I place it back into the nook completely blank and reboot the nook. After that, I try to download anything from the play store that requires SD install and it fails to install.

Use ROM Manager and select "Format SD card" which will allow apps to install. Nook will reboot into CWM and begin formatting SD card. Be FOREWARNED! You will lose anything you have stored on the SD card so make a backup and trasnsfer to your PC or somewhere you can later retrieve.

Ok so here's an update on this issue for me. It appears that no matter how many times I used SD Formatter to format my 16Gb micro sd card, it would not be recognized by CM10. I grabbed an old 8Gb micro SD card and threw it in my nook and it worked perfectly, so it appears that there's an underlying issue with the card itself that was causing the problems. Thanks to everyone for the tips and advice on how to fix this issue for me. I appreciate it.

I am having the same issue with my 16GB Patriot microSD card. The card is recognized, but always displays as full (26GB used) in the settings menu. I have reformatted numerous times to no avail. I have an old 4GB card in there now with no issues.

It is that Patriot brand and CM10. CM10 is very finicky about sdcards. If it does not like how one performs, it changes it to read only. You can try formatting the card with SDFormatter, which you can get free on the web. That may help, but it may not.

[Q] SD card issue (keeps saying it is damaged)

Hey Guys,
I've got the Telus version of GS4 I337M and it is rooted running stock. I purchased a 64 GB Adata card (AUSDX64GUICL10-RA1) and loaded it up with about 40 gigs of music. The card was working fine but after I restarted the S4 I got a message saying "Damaged SD card. SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it." I reformatted it went loaded the music and got the same message after a restart. I thought this was strange so I tossed the card in my friends S3 and it worked fine. I then popped it back into the S4 and it started working again. However, after I restarted the phone I got the same message.
I returned the card and picked up a Patriot Memory 64 GB (PSF64GMCSDXC10) to replace it. After putting on 40 gigs of music, I restarted the phone and now I have the same message. I'm starting to think that it is not the cards but the phone. Has anyone else run into this issue and is there any fix? The only reason I got this phone was to use the SD card slot to store all my music.
Thanks!

same issue here. After a reboot, I got the message that the SD card was damaged. I didn't format it, but rebooted and didn't get the message. But do have some problems playing music from time to time. It just stops.

much as i hate to say it, thats 'normal' with GS3/GS4.

I had this issue on my S3. Its an issue with exFAT. Try force formating your SD to fat32. I bet this fixes your issue. Good luck!

This happens to me every time I reboot. If you just reboot again it will be gone. Annoying to have to reboot twice every time so I think I'm going to try to force format fat32 like the above user suggested.

have the problem on my S4 using 64gb. formatted with fat32 already from my pc + phone issue persists. girlfriends has no issue with a 32gb formatted in her S3

I've restarted multiple times but the issue persists. My only option right now is to not restart my phone which is very annoying. Does anyone know if this issue is happening just on stock or does it not matter the ROM?

I'm having the same problem on my AT&T rooted phone. The only fix I have discovered was unmounting my SD card prior to restarting my phone. I'm curious to see if anyone can find a better solution.

Re-mount SD Card
For me, rebooting takes to long so I have found two alternatives instead of rebooting. One you can physically take out the SD card and then re-insert it or you can go into the settings and then under storage hit mount and it will scan it for errors then work fine. This still does not solve the issue though and it quite annoying since I set a titanium backup pro backup to happen at night onto my SD card and in the morning it always said it has failed due to the damaged SD card error. I'm thinking about switching to a custom ROM just because of this and the volume warning. Any advice?

Have the same issue...I copy all my card contains to my pc , before formatting the sd card . Then I resend the contain back..never happen since

Do you guys have Google Play Music running (either actively or in the background)?

Happened to me daily when I had a Sandisk 64gb card. Returned it for a Samsung 64gb and I've only seen it once in about two months. I did have it formatted as exfat and just last week reformatted as fat32. I'm hoping that might fix the issue for good.
Btw, I never had to reboot when I got the message, just go into settings and click Mount SD card. Worked every time and I never lost any data.

Its funny that you ask. I've been struggling with the same issue of my phone randomly telling me that my SD card has either unexpectedly unmounted or is damaged. I lost all my data tonight (as far as I know at least- both the computer and the S4 want me to format it because it doesn't recognize the file system) and the last thing I was doing was playing a MP3 through Google Play. This file was located on the SD Card as well.
What was your reasoning?

[Q] GS4: SD Card not detected; used SDFormatter

Hello,
My GS4 (1337) isn't detecting my microSD card. My computer reads it and I've reformatted using SDFormatter, as recommended by many users in this forum (FAT32).
It's not detected in CWM 6.0.4.8 and PhilZ Touch 6.43.8, either... I've tried multiple ROMs and nothing seems to work. I've tried two different SD cards, as well. Each ROM just says to "insert SD card"
Are there any settings in ServiceMenu options that might be affecting it?
I've gotten 2 replacement SD Card/SIM card readers off of eBay and neither of those replacements have done the trick. Thinking there's something software related.
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi,
When I had an issue with a sdcard I plugged it into a camera and formatted from there. Maybe you have a friend who can lend a cellphone to you for this? Sorry, for now I'm out of ideas, only these two. If I come up with other idea I may post here again.
~Lord

if you insert it while the phone is ON, does it not even recognize that a card has been inserted? I thought that normally it will at least tell you that the inserted card is not readable and ask you if you want to format it?
is the card fully working on your pc? like, can you fill it with files to it's complete capacity without corruption and they are all read by the pc? if not then maybe a duff card? this is often the case if you buy cheap card online.
have you got a smaller capacity sd card that you can try in the phone just to rule out hardware issues on the phone itself?

Please cleans your micro sd hole with a spirit(which use in clean u r desplay)...nd format yor sd card in default extension. ..I think it worked...

If the card (formatted as FAT32) is not visible on PC then the card is broken.
If the card is OK on PC but you have problems in the phone you need to test with another (good) card - if that is also not detected you have a problem with the phone (since you said the problem was also 100% stock ROM then it is not software, possibly some pins in the connector).

I have tried this card on pc . It works fine . I have tried another card on my phone and its not getting detected (same issue) also the same card works on pc too. Samsung service center said its not hardware issue but a software. and just because my phone is not bought from my country they refused to touch it without a condition that there is a possibility that phone might get bricked if they touch software and its fully my responsibility if it happens so.

Hi there. I have a 9005 and no luck on making sd to work, already gave up, just living on 32 gb internal...

Iv had something like this happen once. use software to unpartition the whole thing and then reformat it to fat32 or exFAT. there might be a problem with it not being a logical drive. does computer management pick it up when u plug it into the computer?
