I used the root method at unlockr.com, and i have #root# access in the terminal emu app. When i get to the part at unlockr about flashing recovery, (thru terminal emulator) i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso
I have RUU'd the phone at least 5 times... I have also tried using the cmd using the guide here, and get an error at basically the same spot.
my hero is 1.56.651.2. i have spent over 15 hours across 2 days searching forums and trying different methods, but i guess i must be doing something wrong.
btw.. the very first time i tried using the method from unlockr (root through cmd, flash recovery through terminal emu) it *almost* worked. It tried and got a ton of messages and an error regarding too little memory. after i looked it up and realized i could have just freed up memory in the PHONE(not sdcard) it was too late, i had already RUU'd again. It hasnt come close to flashing since, only the error reading message.
i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso

this isn't your issue is it?

do a RUU to go back to bone stock, same version you have

EDIT: and when it get to this part about "flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img" give it an extra min after you hit enter and it "looks" like it's done before proceeding
let me know if you get stuck, i'll keep an eye on this thread also let me know at exactly which step "looks weird"
oops that was just a typo. I have been using .img for the file ext like you are supposed to. I have formatted the sd before trying, and the same error. The guide you pointed me to also did not work, I always get a flash error at (step 18). I have RUU'd at least 5 times to start over, and it didnt help any.
and about giving it an extra minute after the flash command, it instantly tells me
"error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img"
so i cant really do that.
What should i do
I have ran into that same issue. I would guess you have upgraded the stock sd card. If you have, it is formated to fat32 not fat like the original. Try formating the card fat then try again. Good luck to you.
Dave
EDIT: I see you have formated the card. I believe the card has to be fat not fat 32 (someone correct me if im wrong). When I was rooting my phone I had same error til I formated it fat. May the force be with you.
What do you mean by upgraded the sd card? I didnt ever do that...at least not on purpose. So how would i check the format?
Put the card into a card reader in a pc, right click on drive and hit properties.
crap, i dont have a reader for this type of card. no way to do it through the phone?
and this problem couldnt be from anything else, could it?

you can mount the card from the notifications bar when you plug your phone in usb. then just right click on the removable disk in my computer (mine's drive H: ) then click "properties"
it will bring up this window
if it says FAT32 then there's the (assumed) problem.
Okay!
it IS fat32.

do you know how to format?
before you format be sure to save anything you have on your sd card that you want/need as it will erase everything.
1. move anything you like to save to your computer from your sd card
2. right click on the removable disk in my computer
3. click on "format"
4. in the little window that pops up chose "FAT" leave everything else alone
5. click start.
6. thats it!
damn its not working.
As soon as i click format it unmounts...any idea?
BTW thanks for the help

i've never tried it that way, but you will probably have to go the card reader option, or use...
GParted
windows disk management
but those tools give you the power to seriously mess up your computer. so i recommend running these on someone's computer you don't like.
or the card reader option
You can format the card under "SDCard and Phone storage"
Just unmount then format.
Okay well modchipper said he had the same problem, and the sd has to be formatted to FAT,not Fat32.
Gparted and the other tool, how can they mess up my computer?
The format option in the phone formats to FAT32...
If you're not careful you can accidentally nuke your hard drive, instead of your sdcard.
Well i tried windows disk management and it didnt see the drive. Gives me a feeling that gparted wont work either. does anyone know for fact that sdcard format has to be FAT?
Well once again I'm at my mom's, and her USB ports are screwed up, so I couldn't tel you what mine is formatted as.
Well i have multiple SDCards, but the one that is currently in my phone is formatted in FAT32 & I believe that was the one I used to root & flash the recovery originally...
Well this just seems impossible it seems ive hit a wall...
Im trying to use Fresh pre kitchen, but that wont work either because i have windows 7.
The Fresh Pre-kitchen works fine on Win7.
I put WP 7 on my HD2 and it was working fine but I decided to go back to Android. I then took my 16 GB Sandisk card out and put it in the memory card reader but it only shows the partition of 200 MB.
I even download a program to format/partition the microSD card but I still could not get it to get back most of the available space in my 16 GB card. It keeps showing 200 MB on my computer and I tried to get rid of the partitioning but I still cannot do it.
Is there a solution to this?
sounds like your memory card is corrupted :/
Try
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/
If that doesn't fix it, it may be borked completely.. though some people have had success with the Nokia phone formatting tools
Easy,
Put your SD Card in your PHone
POwer off you phone
During Boot hold power off/on button on phone to access the MAGDLR Menu
Connect you Phone to PC
Choose MASSSTORAGE in MAGDRL Option number 4
Format your SD CARD over PC
Power off Phone - Job done!
i had the same problem, the way the i fix it was the i format the sd card in my blackberry and it works for me i try it in a samsung and fix the problem. the computer wasnt able to fix problem i used the format method from the computer. didnt work, and i used paragon software didnt work either. the only way was with different phone
I don't know why everybody thinks you have to put the card into something else. Enter MAGLDR, go to USB, connect it to the computer, run SD Formatter,Select correct drive, Options - Format Type= Full Erase On -Format Size Adjustment =ON.
This has been covered many times since the introduction of WP7. Using the search term 200mb in this section. I came up with plenty of answers to your problem.

yesss! this finally did the trick!! i've tried different way recommended by different people but this was the only one that actually worked!!!
So I have this Issue I found my 16gb HD2(I no longer have the hd2) that's I guess corrupted I can view the files move them to my desktop but I cant format the SD, I tried my Nexus One, digital camera, Windows 7, Macbook,ubuntu, mini partition tool and testdisk with no results. I remember this issue happen when I tried to run android through SD maybe you guys know why. thanks
Some sd cards especially ones that have been bought on ebay or overseas have a memory hack in them. What happens is the sd card shows 16gb but in reality it may only have 6-10gb. The hack provides the sd card to show more space then is actually there. You can use it just fine with no problems at all but once you go over the actual memory it really has & not just shows you then get a slew of corrupted files on your sd card leaving it almost useless. This is only 1 example, others causes could be if you take an ad card out while you transferring files to it. In the end there is little you can do and what I would of suggested you've already tried. (minitool) this has helped me fix a card that I was transferring files when my power went out. This will probably not help but have you tried different ports on your computer? What happened when it was in you nexus?

Yeah I learn this lesson on my chinese 32gb lol but on my 16gb sd was actually the one that came with the hd2 so I know for a fact is legit. everytime I put it on my N1 it tries to format it and then a message pops out saying card unmounted. I also tried my good old nokia n82 which usually Nokias are really good at formatting corrupted cards it doesn't give me the choice of formatting the card. Im wondering of their some type of lock on the sd card.
there is a really small lock on the front of a sd card but none that i know of on a micro sd. did you use the minitool partition wizard or the data recovery program? if you only used the partitioning wizard i would try the minitool data recovery program found here.
Running mini tool this is what I get it wont fix it though https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/3-oc0r_Bbv5qrYncR3IzCZaCRbbB6vENK-AyJ2O_CkI?feat=directlink
running minitool data or minitool partitioner? it looks like minitool data if i remember correctly. yeah, it says "minitool found errors on disk but will not fix them because diskcheck was run without fix parameters." i would try it again but select "check and fix detected errors" see if that helps. if it dont help then i would suggest to wait for advise from someone a little more knowledgeable about this.

what about good ol' Check Disk from Windows Explorer?
Another program is SD Formatter 3.0.
Try it and play with the options.
SD formatter is pretty good i must say. Here is another one that might be of some use. I have a corrupted flash drive around somewhere so i'll try and find that. maybe I can play around with it to see what might work and report back. I would also take a look at this link as it provides some very useful information about sd cards. you can find that here, please make sure you read the section on "Formatting is required". This will explain why you may be running into problems along with what the cause might be.
Yea the same thing happened to me with my 8 gig card, i even tried formatting it at best buy and with a camera and still wouldn't format. So i just had to buy a new one.
When the Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) received official Android 6.0.1, I have manually installed that firmware on my device. Within few weeks ago it shows that my microSD card (64GB) corrupted. At that time if i connect to the PC I can access the SD card without any error. When I tap on "fix it" it format the SD and again it shows the exact same issue.
If I connect this sd card to a PC or a another Android device (runs ICS), these devices are not detect any error. Then I rebooted my S5 into a safe mode and again it shows that issue. However, this issue will fix if I reset the phone. After few days left it again appear that error.
So how do I fix this matter?
My wifes phone has the same issue.
Non rooted phone - 100% stock. Never messed with it.
After the MM update the sdcard just says corrupted.
As soon as a photo is stored or if google play music downloads a track to it it is corrupted.
Really annoying.
Going to try a full wipe now but I'm glad it's not just her phone. I thought the SD card had died and we haven't had it long.
Looks like it's something samsung have done.
Tried formatting the SDCard with a PC?
My SDCard is the same one I've had since I got the phone, through KitKat > Lollipop > MarshMallow, and has never been wiped or formatted, still got the very first photo I ever took with the phone on it

No need to wipe SD. Connect that SD to a PC and copy all the files.

I think this issue caused by some sort of app or its a firmware issue.
Yeah it's been formatted. I did pop it into a pc to try and save everything but it demanded a wipe.
So I did.
It worked for a little bit and corrupted again. Now when I pit it in the pc it struggles to read it and the phone won't "fix it" either.
Tried to wipe it in a few different programs but it appears the card is corrupted.
It's a 64gb Samsung card. Only had it since January this year. Bought brand new from amazon.
I have another in my note 3 and that is still perfect.
The only saving grace is that Google photos had all the photos synced.
So i'm going to email Samsung about it as there has been no issues with the card until the moment the MM update hit.

Try MiniTool Partition Wizard
Delete all partitions on the card > create new primary partition > Format to FAT32
MiniTool Partition Wizard free
https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
Used that to repair SDCards and USB drives a few times
You can also do it manually with elevated CMD: (Hit enter after each)
------------
diskpart
list disk
select disk x (x = being the disk number of your USB drive/card)
clean
create partition primary
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit

Already tried diskpart. No dice.
Just tried MiniTool Partition Manager. Still nothing. It lets you delete the partition and then creates a new partition instantly.
It has however now loaded in windows and shows 4 android folders but even after a delete on the partition and create new it makes no changes to the card.
It also wont let me add anything. Almost as if it is locked to read only.
So thanks for the advice as I can now see the card in windows "sort of". It's really slow though. But I can't put anything on it or wipe it or do anything with it really!
Windows 10 also says there are errors and when you let it error check it just stops responding.

If it still shows android folders on it, then none of the partition commands you've used, nor minitool have done anything, as you'll know, deleting all partitions on a disk completely wipes it
With MiniTool, it works a weird way, you have to basically tell it what you want to do, all steps, and then hit apply at the top, once you hit apply, it then performs the steps it looked like you had already done manually
EDIT - Just a thought, a live Linux CD/DVD/USB might have more luck, Linux doesn't care about permissions etc

I see... I have used Partition Magic in the past and if I recall you had to do this back in the old version. Completely forgot.
I've done that and it's trying to do it. It's going very sloooooooow. But it is getting further than diskpart did!
Will update when it decides to finish.
Good luck, might find it takes a few runs to undo whatever the phone/droid did to it
Unless of course it is physically damaged, but I've not had any problems with MM and my SD
EDIT - Found this from way back in 2010 in my repair folder, "Pen drive repair"

Will take a look at that tomorrow.
It formatted the card but as soon as it finished and mounted it Windows popped up and said there was a problem and it needed scanning.
Once it opened there were still 4 android folders on it....
Annoying.
Yea very, well it's definitely not deleting the partitions if it's still got all the old folders on it
Running the tool as Admin?
It does sound like it's physically damaged, but I thought that about a 16GB flash drive I had, and another 8GB I'd left in a tub on my desk for years because it was dead, then I used diskpart and repaired both of them the same day, and since then, minitool has fixed them
Tell you what you could try, Win32DiskImager, grab any image, say a Raspberry Pi image, and use Win32DiskImager to write the image to the card, I think that uses disk/device rather than partitions to write to, so it should overwrite absolutely everything
Then you can use Minitool to wipe and format back to FAT32 (Hopefully)

The trouble with that is I can't write anything to it. It gives an i/o error ever time I try.
I'm tired now so i'm going to head to bed but tomorrow when I have a fresher head i'll take another look.
Will let you know how I go on. Will try that other tool you suggested.
The way Win32DiskImager writes to the disk is different to how Windows tries to write to it, basically like burning an ISO, vs copying files to a DVD
Yea, get some shut-eye, things are usually much simpler after a good nights sleep
Hi, i lost a kingstom 9GB after take out this card from a Samsung. I formatted, and after a few days , i disvovered, that card was set to be encrypted inside the phone, if someone takes out, and formats without unencrypt, on 2 or 3 cycles mor, the card will die, or lock, io root, i never found a solution for this, in my case, the card was locked, (ro), without any error in the partition.

Pen Drive Repair does nothing. Can't even find it.
Tried it another 2 times in MiniTool but still goes through all the motions but returns with the same four folder on the card.
I did a surface test and it found no errors. So reading it is fine. It's the writing to it where it fails.
EDIT: What I have just noticed is MiniTool states:
Capacity 59.64 Used 59.64 Unused 0B
So the card thinks it's full but there is nothing on it.
EDIT 2: And now in MiniTool is just says BadDisk. Looks like it is completely dead.
Well, there's nothing to lose by trying Win32 DI, unlikely to work,. but might as well try before writing it off

Gave it a shot. It wont even let me pick it as a device. Windows has stopped adding it to the "My Computer" list also.
I've wasted enough time with it. Only bought it in January this year so I've emailed Samsung both about the warranty on it and also that there is a possibility the upgrade to MM caused it on the S5.
It seems to have happened to the OP and me so I thought I would mention it to them in case.
Hello all,
I have been using Galaxy note 3 for the last 3 years or so, have rooted it, installed AOSP and stock ROMs (including the latest Note 7 ports) on it. So I have a fair understanding of how the phone works, and am able to work with errors on a very comfortable basis (sometimes, with help from other XDA members as well).
Now, here's where I am stuck. I was running a Note 7 port ROMs (Phronesis and Magma-NX), and also ran an AOSP ROM. Since last week, my phone has not been able to recognize my SD Card (I have two cards: one, a 32gb card, and the other a 128gb card) on either of the stock or AOSP ROMs. It says: Corrupted. So I begin to format the card (both of them) on the phone itself, and I keep getting this message when I try to format my SD Card via phone:
thread binder_7 gave up waiting for partitionPublic after 180000ms
The SD Cards format properly on my laptop. The end result is my phone doesn't recognize any memory cards, and I basically end up working with the internal storage of 32gb. I havent encountered this error before, and I have no clue about what to do. I have tried googling it, and Google gives me a result for partitionPrivate and not partitionPublic. I dont know if these are the same things or not, and in either case, I absolutely dont know
what to do.
Can anyone suggest/guide as to what should I do?
I had an issue where my phone wouldn't see an SD card unless it was given a name when attached to a PC, might be nothing to do with it but could be worth a try?

Sorry buddy, but didn't quite understand when you said" given it a name". How and what did you do to name your SD Card? I will definitely try anything to make it work
I have same problem and I never fix it. I follow so many guides from Google without luck, seems that my N3 decide to not read external memory any more.

I guess that is probably working good for you; do you have your photos and videos setup to be directly posted on the Cloud then?
Definitely, you have various options how to upload directly, with mobile plans, only with WiFi, only on charge.
Awesome, thanks buddy.. Did you try to have someone look up the SD Card slot to see if it was damaged or if it needed a replacement?

thread binder_7 gave up waiting for partitionPublic after 180000ms
The SD Cards format properly on my laptop. The end result is my phone doesn't recognize any memory cards, and I basically end up working with the internal storage of 32gb. I havent encountered this error before, and I have no clue about what to do. I have tried googling it, and Google gives me a result for partitionPrivate and not partitionPublic. I dont know if these are the same things or not, and in either case, I absolutely dont know
what to do.
Can anyone suggest/guide as to what should I do?

Just to check, have you tried to convert your sd cards into internal storage (adoptable storage) before the problem occurs ?
@zlazaar I'm not sure bro.. All I did was just copied one app from my internal memory to the external SD Card. But I didn't jot try to convert Tele external SD into an internal memory.. Do you think that's what the issue is here?

Can you try this please :
- Format one of your sd cards using your PC (use this recommended tool)
- Make sure you choose FAT32 as file system before format
- Check if you got the correct total size of the formatted sd card
- Shutdown your phone, put your sdcard, boot directly to recovery
if the recovery is able to recognize the sd card with the correct total size, then you don't have a hardware failure.

Sorry buddy, but didn't quite understand when you said" given it a name". How and what did you do to name your SD Card? I will definitely try anything to make it work

When you connect it to a PC, when viewing My Computer as it used to be called, you can see all of the drives, C:, D: etc, on that screen if you right click above your SD card drive select rename, it should be under removable drives. A long shot but also an easy one so worth a punt.

I totally agree, sd card volume must have a name.
Thank you

@zlazaar Hey buddy, so I downloaded the SD Formatter, and did a quick format (should I have done full Format - if yes, which one - Erase or overwrite). I also tried the Format Size Adjustment ON and OFF.
I have 2 SD Cards, one 128gb and the other a 32gb. The SD Formatter formatted the 128gb card as an exFAT, and the it formatted the 32gb card as a FAT32. However, TWRP still didn't recognize either of the cards. I still dont have the cards running on the phone..
