Hello guys,
I have a problem with my sd card on my galaxy s5. I downloaded an app, folder mount and after i opened it, it asked from me to do some changes to the settings of the sd card. After i did those, everything was great and i started copying my first game, real racing 3. After it reached 69%, it stopped copying the files and it told me that there was an error. After that my sd card had errors on the files of the real racing 3 and it wont let me do any format. I did the check disk by left clicking on the disk => properties => tools => check disk and it tells me that there was an error and it could fix the corrupted files. I also used the command chkdsk /f on the terminal and after it scanned the errors, it tells me that there was an error while it was fixing the problem. I would appreciate it if someone could help me and sorry about my bad english

I think your card is broken, buy a new one…

Hi all, I have seen ths problem cropping up and now it has happened to my little old DHD. I did nothing specific to start this error. I have popped my sd card in an adapter the tried to browse some files via my PC, the only folded which it cannot read due to being corrupt is a folder called Android.
Is there any solutions or will I need a format?
Thanks
Use disk kontrol
In explorer right click on the memory card and select properties.
Under the second tab choose the first button.
Make sure that the first box is selected.
Click start and let it run.
When it's finished, the memory card should be working again.
Ok So I am here because I've posted in other places in these forums with no replies yet, So it would be better to create a thread specific to my problem.
I have an Omnia 2, thinking of acquiring the Fryo 2.2 OS, not specific about wether I want what version but here are the problems I come across before being able to install it.
1- plugging in my phone under Settings -> My storage will not show my storage on my computer, having the external SD option will show my 16GB SD card.
2- Backing up. How do I back up my storage if I can't see it on my computer? When I turn on active sync a blank storage appears other than my SD card (assuming its the internal storage) but the size seems rather small (167MB). I've been reading peoples' posts and I'm supposed to have around 2GB I believe, and either way the files I'm trying to put inside for the android OS don't seem to fit there.
3- Partitions? How can I set those up for both the internal and external storage? Is there a program or feature to do so? My SD card under properties says FAT-32 so I'm not sure on how to do it IF I need to.
4- Using a W7 computer, so that knocks off any ubuntu installations, and also link is broken for Almars Beta 1 file that I was thinking of using for an SD installation.
Any help would be appreciated, I've had this phone since 2009 and I'm really hoping I can come across some help to make it work since I do want to keep this phone for a bit longer before I spend more money on a different cellphone!
Thank you!
Try out the new CyanogenMod from the link below.
http://windows.modaco.com/topic/346446-cyanogenmod-beta1-omnia-2-updated-02122011/
It has the SD Card auto installer, try it..
Back up data on your SD card first and then format your SD card within the phone and then use auto installer to install it.
As you said your computer wont detect the My Storage, try the steps below..
Transfer your data from My Storage to external SD Card, then connect your phone to computer using My Storage mode in settings.
Download Mini Tool partition wizard and format your My Storage (Mini tool partition will be able to see your My Storage even though your computer doesn't).
After format, your computer should be able to detect My Storage.
Now copy the downloaded android files to My Storage and run the auto installer as instructed in the ReadMe file inside the download package.
PS: Don't forget to backup the data on SD Card to your computer
Hope this helps
Ok so what you meant by taking things from my storage is going to file explorer and basically copying everything from the "my device" to the SD card?
Just want to make sure because if it doesent work then I haven't gotten anything backed up right.
Went to file explorer -> copied everything in the top folder which is application date, connMgr, doc and setttings, program files etc. is this all thats needed basically?
Thanks
P.S some of the things I tried taking like global.txt or exe couldn't be copied because of violations or some weird error, is it alright not to have those?
Update: My storage is still not revealed by the mini tool partition program, went under usb settings -> my storage and refreshed disk information, nothing shows up ugh it might be impossible for me to do this after all....
nobody can help me in regards to this? well then I guess a new cellphone is in order
grrrrr I should've gone with a iphone 3G or BB 9700 at the time instead...

I guess you will have to reflash the ROM again since your problem seems to be unsolvable. My suggestions is to flash a stock 6.5.3 ROM before you transfer the auto SD installer.

Language is not a problem... a few questions:
1. Have you used "USB device unplugging" from your PC, or have you just pulled out the plug? Sometimes Windows is buffering and writing the files (especially large ones) even if it displays message that the process is complete...
2. After purchase, have you formatted the card from the phone's level?
3. Are you sure that you have copied the file into EXTERNAL SD card, not to INTERNAL memory?
4. If you'd try to copy any small file, what's the result (before doing that, see 5 below)
5. Have you moved the file (copy on PC would be erased), or have you copied it (copy is still existing on your PC and you could use it)?
If you have moved the file - dedicated for SD cards and/or for PC data recovery software may work for you to restore it.
6. Have you reset the phone? In some cases I experienced the fact that copied file was not visible on the card until I made the phone reset

first thx for the fast answer !
1. I just pulled out the plug.
2. Yes I format It to "Exdata" there Is also "NTFS" that I can tick. But I formated with Exdata.
3. Yes I´m very sure
4. I copied also a small file (5mb) It´s the same result :/
5. I moved and copied files.
6. I came from 16gb sd card It´s perfect worked. Do I really must reset the phone ? :/ or just a option?
just a question: Why is there no option for format to "fat32"? There are only Exdata and NTFS.

Ad 1: try to repeat with: unmount the device on PC
Ad 2: OK
Ad 3: damn...
Ad 4: Lucky you, you have a copy
Ad 5: same as for 3...
Ad 6: I do not know, but I had that behaviour a few times with my phone/64G card, so I suggested it to you.
To format 64G as fat32, you'd need the special software (please read more info here. BUT, please remember that I'm not certain if your phone would recognize that partition correctly.
With fat32 same problem

The pc read the card normally.
Only the videos are deleted.
Download GUIFormat & use it to format the card FAT32, put files back on & try in phone again.

Put the card in the reader, connect to PC, try to copy the video and other files. Try different types and sizes.
Remove card, put it back in PC. Are all files visible? If so - place card into phone, turn it on, and verify it.
[Q] The Play Store gives me this error message when I try to install certain apps: "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card." What can I do to install those apps?
[A] *After receiving the error message*
1) Go to your phone's Settings > Storage
2) Unmount SD Card (your external SD card)
3) Download/install from the app(s) from the Store again
4) Go back to Settings > Storage - then Mount your SD card again (or reboot)
5) Enjoy the app(s)
Background: I thought I was encountering some compatibility issue because the Note 3 was newly released and I had just acquired mine. I had also received the error when trying to update one of my apps. It is still not clear to me why it occurred and this is the only solution that fixed it for me.
Could be SD going bad, check LOST.DIR for any files, if anything there, it is already getting corrupted.
Checked, nothing in LOST.DIR

Have the same problem - removed mSD and Rebooted to get it fixed
This just showed up , and i formated my sd but it fixed nothing . After re mounting it , the problem was still there . I removed it completely and then rebooted . The problem is gone , but could the problem come from the sd ?
Not working for me can't install greenify donate pack from play store

Sounds to me like a ROM problem. I started experiencing that problem today when I install NV ROM for M8
The play store is an annoying piece of ******. I can install everything except Zooper Pro (RPC:S-3 error). Thus forcing me to use a cracked apk, simply because nothing else works!
Anyway, as for your errors. Tried deleting the data and cache on the Play Store and Google Play Services? Do you have enough space available?
sollution 2
here is some more info
it seems like it should be easy to fix fo google :/

Same problem. I've noticed the problem isn't the sd card, because i've changed it and could not install certain apps anyway.
I guess it's a rom problem. I'm on Blekota S5 v10 now, that's causing this issue. Yesterday I've flashed my rom stock backup, and every thing was ok.
Although if you are rooted first
1.)Unmount SD Card
2.)Download Link2SD it will requires root get it on play store for free
3.)Download your favorite app that get some errors
4.)Mount SD Card
5.)Put the app from external to SD using Link2SD
6.)Profit
Works
Thanks for the answer!
Just Backup and Format

Hi There... The problem with Unmounting and Mounting the SD Card is that since I have my music saved on my SD Card I have to choose a New Ringtone and all my Alarm tones all over again each time I do that... So I backed up all my Music to my Phones Memory, Formatted the SD Card and Voila... Now I don't have to keep Unmounting and Mounting the SD Card every time I want to update an App... more so I only had to go through the hassle of choosing the music once after the format... Hope this helps
my note 3 is dead. samsung told me the motherboard needs replacement. and on the same day my 64gb micro sd card stopped working. it says its damaged and needs formatting when inserted in a different phone. its doesn't even show up on the laptop when connected. so basically im trying not to lose ~90gb data. its heartbreaking. is there any way i can at-least try to save some of it
What happens if you insert the SD-card into your laptop and check for it via Disk Manager?
To do so: Go to your desktop and right click on Computer>Manage>Storage>Disk Management and check if you can find it there. Look at the lower part of the window (gray background) and see if you can see the storage there.
If you can see your SD-card's storage there you might have some hope. Though I can't really help you any further from this point but I can assure you that if you see your storage unit there you can save some data from it.

If the sdcard shows up in disk manager you can use GetBackData to restore your files. The software is not free but can be If you google. After you have restored the files you needed you can then format the sdcard.
I have only used this software to restore deleted files on NTFS formated harddrives but there is a FAT version of GetBackData.
you need to put in a sdcard reader on you computer and use testdisk to restore your mbr

I used many times and it's very efficient
Do not do any writr accesses to the card from niw on as it may destroy your data
to restore the filesystem ( error 'sd must be formatted') use the windows tool chkdsk | type into cmd 'chkdsk /?' and read the you will need
for data recovery use "recuva" its freeware
for both you will need windows and a card reader, also make sure the card is not in locked status

recuva wont open when my sd card is plugged in, but it opens as soon as I eject it. and then when I re insert it , it doesn't find the memory card.. CMD has so many options. if I select F, then it says its in use by other program

reboot your computer and use chkdsk /f /r
EDIT: recuva will only work when you have a working filesystem, cann you properly acces the file system on your sd, or does it tell you you have to format the card first (which you shd not do ofc)
