As you read in my title...
I Went to the Gallery the other day and i saw a pic that i didnt like so i deleted it, then i didnt see any Deleting Progress bar or anything and the Pictures Were gone. I ejected and took out the SD card then used a Card Reader to Try and Recover it with softwares like Dr.fone , Wondershare Data recovery, Easeus data recovery, but there was no use cuz everytime it just started scanning the SD card the SD card ejected itself. I think that the SD card may contain a new and improved kind of virus cuz also when i tried to scan it with ESET antivirus and AVG antivirus it did the Same thing (Auto Ejected itself).
So here i am today Asking your Help.
Any Help would be appreciated thank you.
Sounds like your card went bad to me. All the symptoms you describe match a failed card. It's not a virus.

You can use a recovery program to get the pictures. Well most of them

Hi there all,
I am pretty inept when it comes to this technology business so I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this or like this and if so could help me to figure out what went wrong, why and how to fix it a bit easier than formatting the card and hard resetting to reload/reinstall everything... sigh...
So I was just moving some files across to my sd card on my phone when it received a text and when the text was received the folder I was moving the files into all of a sudden had a load of extra folders with weird character combinations (some Chinese characters (not the weird bit) and some of those "forbidden" symbols)... I tried to delete them (about 56 of them) but I was not allowed... I tried to delete them by plugging the phone into the laptop again, still would not let me (this was when I found out you cant name a folder with certain symbols... if only it was me!) and I finally took the card from the phone and tried to access it via the sd card slot on my laptop... could not scan it but could open it... and when I tried to analyse it with computer management it would not go past the folder that this happened to and told me I had a corrupt folder... sigh, so the only thing I could do to get rid of all these extra mystery folders was to format the card using the cmd prompt... that worked thank goodness but I have had to spend all evening reinstalling and reloading everything... what fun... still at least its given me a clean slate so to speak... sorry for the long winded post... any ideas as to what happened?
many thanks
Consider yourself lucky - relatively.
My Xperia toasted a 16GB card to the point where it is totally inaccessible by any explorer system, either on the phone or a PC. Even the format command via command prompt fails (but thanks for that idea).
My replacement card is suffering too - I run Pocket Mechanic's scandisk utility regularly (once bitten, twice shy), and a couple of times now I have had a FAT table mismatch. Thankfully I've been able to copy all the files & folders off the card, reformat it and load the data back on again.
I'm also wondering what is causing these errors. In all my years of PDAs I have never known anything like it - the instability of WM and my Xperia is really disappointing.
I had this problem a few weeks ago . I guessed it was caused by a Chinese program which generated folders repeatedly by accident. Luckly, I could format the 16G SD card and restored all files.
Had Same problem
except it did not happen when receiving a text. I researched a bucn and stumbled across this http://www.datarestore4dummies.com/Index.html. I Purchased the data recovery software metioned on this website, Data doctor recovery. If you cannot get your card reader to read the card you will also need the cardexport software mentioned in the website referenced above. It worked perfectly. You can try the Data doctor recovery software for free to see if it can fix anything on your card but it will not restore anything until you purchase it. You will have to rescan which will take awhile, again.
on another note I have started backing up my storage card using cardexport (it basically makes your storage card while still in your phone look like an external drive) and a free microsoft tool called synctoy.
hope this helps
Jbf5333 thanks for the info re the apps that can help I will look into these just in case... cheers
Hi,
Yesterday after switching on my sgs2 after having done nothing remarkable in my last session I was surprised to find it burning my leg. After some tinkering I found that the media scanner was crashing and causing the phone to soft reset repeatedly. I then copied everything off the card and full formated it using the sd formating tool then copied everything back. However the issue is still there. Any help?
Cheers
I apologise if this has been discussed elsewhere but after 20mins of searching I could find nothing of use.

First thing I would try is using another sd card to see if the problem persists.
If so hard reset and see what happens...
Either one or both of those should sort you out...
yeah , most probably a bad card . please let us know how it goes.
Format card via card reader in windows or via USB mass storage mode as Fat32 .
LOST DIR is the location for card error files got a lot of files in that folder signifies a problem .

So ive been I having the problem for a few days. It was all good just a week ago. Then suddenly my music player and the gallery containg my photos were unable to find the media on the sd card. But I can play or view the media by manually looking thru file explorer. When it first started to happen i could power cycle my phone and it would go back normal. Does anyone know how to solve this problem with out either getting a new sd card or reformating. Its been sometime since i installed the android nand and dont have the patients to install it again....
I suspect the SD card, if you have a card reader, remove the sd card (remove the battery first of course) and then copy/past all your stuff from each partition to the computer.
Download EASEUS free version and note the partition types and sizes then delet all partitions format and readd the partitions and their contents
If it was me I would just delete all partitions after saving my important photos/music then reformat.
Task 29 and reinstall the rom, only takes a few minutes, if you have done it once or twice already
Then copy the stuff back
Thanks bruh! I thank ima do that. Or I just found my wife's old memory card. Ill just swap it out she wouldn't know the difference... but definitely going try your way first...

Nice to hear
Anyone else having SD card issues after the update?
Since the update my photos are saving to the phone's internal memory and if I change camera to save to the SD it stays until I take a photo, then it says there was a problem saving to the SD and writes to the phone again.
Using FX I can see the "Media Card" but when I click on it it says "Access Was Denied" however I can use System/ and see the SD Card folder and access it that way.
If I unmount and remount the SD card in Settings it works again for a short while both for accessing and saving photos to and then goes back to being seen but not able to be written to for photos along with looking at my gallery and seeing none of the photos saved to it.
I am going to back it up here to be safe but do I need to do a full format of it or has anyone had similar issues and fixed it?
Did you do the edit to platform.xml I got that when trying to back up TB Try flashing this then see if it helped, this is for a 910W8 but should work on any N4
Thanks mate.
I assume that is for rooted phones, yeah?
Mine is stock, not rooted.
I think it is just a bunk SD card, ah well time to warranty it with ADATA.

The zip I posted is flashable but it could be the card I had the same problem. I did a clean through diskpart on windows
Yeah it is really weird.
If I manually delete the info on the card it appears gone but when I go to format it, all that info comes back.
I did the regedit and diskpart trick and neither worked.
ADATA told me to download the SD Card Formatting exe and it tells me it is write protected when it clearly isn't.
Hence why it is not accessible on my phone and cannot be written to...no clue how to reverse it or why it happened in the 1st place.
I can't write to my card after jumping to 5.1.

Hi all,
I'm desperate. I just realised my camera app has suddenly started to act weird.
Basically it can't save images on SD CARD anymore as if the sdcard was write protected but it's not. I can copy/paste files without issues on the card. It feels like the camera app has some issue. It can save videos and pics without problems on internal memory but refuses to save on sdcard. I tried Camera-FV app and it can save on SD Card so I guess it's the actual camera app ....
I tried clearing data of the app, uninstalling the app with titanium backup and reflashing the rom on top of my current installation (without factory reset) and nothing works. I also tried formatting the SD CARD with both PC and Phone and unmounting/remounting...nothing
Another thing I noticed is that I can't copy files from pc to sdcard straight. I have to first pass them to phone internal memory and then using phone explorer app I can move from phone to SDCARD. Very weird behavior. It's like if the device is blocking write access to the card? I also tried another sdcard and same story.
Anyone has any other suggestion?
I have the same issue the camera app can not access the SD card.So was the app "my files".Most wire thing is ES explorer write SD card well as usual.
I'm pretty sure this issue is happening since I update the system(G9350ZHU2APE3).
Damn this sucks! It must be the update that broke the sdcard. I saw several others having the same problem. No confirmed fix yet? Must we factory reset?
