[Help] SD card corrupted twice in 1 week - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys..help me out on this one. I'm using a 32gb transcend class 4 SD card and it gets corrupted twice in over a week..all the folders are empty.already did a full format once.

I've had the same thing happen on mine. Has happened twice the same as yours, and a third time all the files gave the permission denied error. I think the ownership changed somehow.
I took mine out temporarily, till I have time to figure it out.

after you have formatted with exfat(dont FAT or NTFS) -try this... shut phone off, remove everything, put back all. start... unmount card from settings>storage and wait for a minute then mount it again.
i have 64GB class 10 and it disappears every now and then and unmounting and mounting works for now.
i havent seen a good solution in this forum(or maybe not found it yet)

[Q] microSD card unexcpectedly unmounted

Hi,
I've a Desire HD with the 8GB microSD card that came within. Randomly I got a message something like "Sd card unexpectedly unmounted and I can't access the card. The only way to have it back again is rebooting the telephone with the option Fast Boot disabled.
Any clue about what this should be?
Regards,
I had a similar issue, although I never got the warning, well, it never actually unmounted.
I would try and take a photo and it would drop to the homescreen. I figured I had to unmount and remount the SD card
I did a factory reset to fix it. Maybe the same can help you?

I have had the same from time to time and figured it was due to low quality of the SD-card.
So I actually just switched a few moments ago for another SD-card i got laying around. This is a class 6 card though and a bit better than the class 2 samsung card that comes with the phone. We'll see how this will turn out. Hopefully its a bad microsd card and not the phone.
This solved it. Havent had any problems with the card unmounting since i changed the card.
I had this problem, even start a new thread...
This is due to some corrupt file inside the sdcard or even a bad sector.
Try to do a "chkdsk /f /r" on the sdcard...
Hi,
I've checked the original SD Card with chkdsk as sugested and everything seems OK.
Since then I've changed the original card with a 16GB Class4 Kingston card and the problem does not happen again.
Let's see......
Regards,
If I did only "chkdsk /f" it also reported that the sdcard was alright... but I still had problems...
I had to use "chkdsk /f /r" to discover that I had a bad sector...
Now, for a few days I still hadn't any problems...
Oh, this didn't happened with the stock 8GB card... it was another SD card that I already had.
Replacing the stock card did help.

"damaged sd card" message

Hi all.
I have a 16gb micro sd card class 2 (sandisk).
Yesterday the message "damaged sd card" came on my notification bar.
I tried to format the card but i got no luck. With every i use i got errors (gparted, windows native tool, ubuntu disk manager).
So i bought a 8gb micro sd card class 4 (maxell) for replacement.
Sadly my htc legend doesn't accept this card neither...same message.
This time i'm sure the card is ok...because it works fine on any PC/Device i tried (including my girlfriend's samsung spica).
At first i though i might got an usb brick...so tried
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
with no luck...then i tried flashing another rom (aliba's Cyanogen 6.1, SuperBler V4)...same behaviour.
with dispair I took my girlfriend's 2gb microsd (sandisk) and tried this time with success!!
So 2 gb sdcard works.
8 gb not.
what do you suggest, crappy new sd card? or my phone got problems with sdhc?
What's brought all the old devs back?!
I've never seen that kind of behavior before... Hmm...

errors bring us here!
I can add one more to the solving puzzle:
in recovery (S-OFF) i can mount the card but while coping/reading it gives me I/O errors and than i have to reboot recovery to let it read some more (till a next I/O error...)
!!!
I'm Experiencing the same proplem. Yesterday I got the same error message "Damage SD card" I cant go into clockwork recovery mode to format SD card, I get the E:faliled to open/Sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory). Its a 4GB Sd card and Im running CyanogenMod-7.0.0.-RC0-Legend-Kang....

I'm waiting to try a different SDHC card. I think it's related to bad quality sdhc.
I was able to format the SD card via PC recoverywindows.bat...so far no problems but who knows maybe in a near future I will probably get the DAmage SD card message again.
I had the exact same thing myself a while back. Although it probably won't help you, I took it out and cleaned the contacts (no doubt superfluous but you have to try everything, right?) and put it back in (twice), and it worked. It's been running fine for months now

Problem with SD apps

Hi. Whenever I mount my SD card to the PC and then unmount it, all the apps on the SD card remain unavaible for about 20 minutes, when they slow start to reappear again. Any ideas why this happens? Maybe some app is causing this...
sounds like a very slow sd card, mine is a 16gb class2 and it takes a couple of minutes to load everything

lol.. instead of quote, i hit the thanks button. anyway, i would suggest that you backup all ur mem card contents on PC and format your mem card. I have class 4, 4GB card and i faced the same problem. (about 7-10 mins). formatting the mem card solved it and now it takes just a couple of mins.

Well I benchmarked my SD card and it gives the following results:
write: 3.8 MB/s
read: 1.5 MB/s
I think this is ok for a class 2 card, isn't it?
My class4 write upto 10mb

Did you format the sd card through the phone or through your pc? And did you change its file system?

[Q] Busted Micro SD?

Hi Chaps
Got probs with my 16gb class 4 micro sd card.
Bought an htc hd2 off ebay last week which came with the above card and winmo 6.5.
I wanted to test out WM7 which I did, didn't enjoy it so tried to get Android working.
Now I came across the 199mb problem which I fixed no probs but now the sd card will just not play ball in CWM. It says it makes the partitions but this is instant and should take a few minutes being a 16GB sd card. When I come to mount the thing it just error's and says cannot mount sd card.
I've tried doing a full erase using the samsung sd tool and that took over 3 hours to complete which is strange. I've also used the tool to create partitions which it does without any problems.
If I put the SD card in my fiancee's HTC Desire and mount and format it it works fine but when I come to mount it on my hd2 it still can't mount it.
I also have a 4GB micro sd card which is class 2 and this works perfectly with CWM both with partitioning and mounting.
I'm on the verge of snapping this card in half and buying a new one so before I do I thought I'd ask on here for any advice.
Many Thanks
Use Panasonic SD Formatter and format using that. Should work then. No even need for a full erase, but if you want you can, but not needed. It should recover the rest of the SD card.

Cheers for that, done a quick format and it finished but now windows won't read it. Just comes up with the message disk is not formatted do you want to format it now.
Is this normal?
No problem. Erm well I've formatted my 8GB class 8 using that and I've never encountered that problem. When your formatted did it come up that it was restored to 14/15GB? You might aswell go ahead and format it.

Duh me, I had to remove it from the laptop and back in for windows to pick it up.
Just tried mounting the sd as USB storage and I get the following error
"E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Trying to mount the sd card I get this error:
"E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) Error mounting /sdcard!"
As soon as I put my 4bg sd card in and try to mount it it works straight away
That's very odd. I don't know very much about SD cards/memory so I wouldn't know what's wrong with that.
I think you're best off getting a new card as I think that ones maybe worn out.
I recommend you don't use ebay for sd cards, they can easily be poor copies, just buy them from a recognised store, Amazon or Play
Cheers for the help guys. Think I'll just stick it in the digital camera as that seems to work fine and buy a new one from amazon or play.
yeah.. dont ever buy memory cards from ebay...
i tried buying one 32gb microsd before..
my comp doesnt even detect it..

XWKE7 SD card issue

I have had the phone for about 3 weeks now, and updated to XWKE7 (stock) two days ago. This morning some apps/widgets were crashing, so I rebooted the phone. On media scan, I got this error.
Data encryption
Failed to mount SD card. Reinsert or format SD card
I haven't got another SD card or SD card reader on me at the moment, but has anyone seen anything like this? Could it be the firmware or a junk SD card? (32GB kingson class 4)
Looks like your sdcard maybe dying. Never seen the data encryption notice before either. Did you use some kind of encryption on your card?

Try doing a regular (not quick) format in Windows.
is this one of those cheap sd cards from ebay? How much you pay for it and where it come from?

I plugged it into windows, it displayed the "scan for errors" window, i did that, and all the files are found. Ill see if i can get away with not formatting it. I have tried other SD cards and they work (8GB though)

I got this SD card from clove. It is interesting because their website only has SANDISK 32GB micros (www.clove.co.uk/memory), but i got a KINGSTON and was charged the SANDISK price.
After the last boot, i went to task manager, and the only app that has run (at boot) is EncryptApp, cant see information online about what that does either.
Okay, I plugged it back into windows, and did a full check and repair, took about 30 minutes and now it works again. Seems odd that the card worked for 3 weeks, with heavy usage and dies just with the new firmware. Like it didn't unmount properly or something.
