Hey everyone!
I'm having this issue with the SD Card on my new Moto G5 Plus. This problem has been bugging me ever since I got the device, and I don't know how to fix it on my own. Tried every method possible.
These are the steps I took:
1. Take an empty SD Card, formatted it as FAT32 on my Windows PC.
2. Insert SD Card into the Memory Slot of my Moto G5 Plus.
3. I get a notification saying "Unsupported File System. Tap to Format." so I format it as Android says so.
4. Once it is successfully formatted (that's what the screen tells me), I get another notification saying "SD Card Corrupted. Tap to fix.".
5. When I tap on that, it again asks me to Erase and Format the Card, following which, the same "SD Card Corrupted" notification pops up again.
I've tried the CHKDSK method, I've tried formatting it in various other file formats (NTFS), but it still doesn't seem to work. I have a feeling it has something to do with encryption on the phone, but this is becoming an irritating issue, as a consumer. I need my music! :crying:
Someone, please help!
is it showing up on when you connect it on the PC?
I too have the issue, all i do as a workaround is, before power off, i eject my sd card.
Fix?
I got the same issue. Any fix. Please help!
Try this:
Boot into TWRP and open the file manager under "Advanced." Navigate into the "dev" folder and delete the file labeled "__properties__" Reboot, and happy downloading.

Care to explain this a little more for some users? Where is this "dev" folder located (system, data, sdcard, etc)? What is the "__properties__" file?

Hello,
Yesterday I removed and inserted the memory card from the HD, and from that moment some crazy things started to happen. Now, when I try access my memory card, it takes 1-5 minutes to open the root folder. When I connect my HD to the PC and select storage mode, no memory card is showing at my computer. I tried to format it, but had some error. Did some card check, the program checked it too long and after showed some info and said that no defragmentation is required. After reflashing ROMs, trying some stuff, nothing seemed to help. I putted my HD away until I tried to access the memory card folder later that evening. It worked fast as always in past. I softreseted, and same things started again, 1-5 min to open the card, can't see it in my computer, HD sometimes freezes when I try to access anything on the card.
Solutions?
P.S. - this is the card I received from orange when I bought the HD. Is the card under warranty?
p.s.s. - still can't format the card, ideas?
get a cheap microSD usb reader sandisk got a nice small one

Thanks a lot, that solved my probs!
glad i could help
When I connect my phone via USB to the PC, and copy some files in the SD card, I get to see them after a reboot... I suppose the actual SDcard and a is a simulation , and everything is inside the data.img file... probably... So file appear when there is a reboot and the img files is updated?
Is that so??
Is this usual behaviour, or a build-specific bug?
Is there a way to copy files to the USB card and see them without the need of reboot?
What will happen , if I split the SDcard to to partititons, any way to make the non-bootable one mount automatically...
i suppose part of what you're saying is true, at least i've experienced some of the problems you describe some of the time.
sometimes i would unmount/mount the card after completing the usb disk transfer session...sometimes i would have to connect it back to my desktop in usb disk transfer mode and run a file system check.
a combination of the above mentioned ALWAYS got things going for me...never had to reboot to see the new data. but i have sometimes had to reboot to see ANY data. this is because, occasionally, i have seen that the sd card sometimes just doesn't WANT to mount. but i see a BLANK /mnt/sdcard folder and unmount/mount doesn't get it going.
the reason i've mentioned the practice of disk-checking your android usb disk transfer is because you sometimes may notice "sd card could not be mounted due to errors", or "sd card mounted read only" and i have always found disk errors when i ran the disk check following these messages, and this subsequently leads to the card mounting correctly and fully usable after the disk transfer session.
so my process is:
0. start the usb disk transfer mode
1. read what i have to from the card
2. write what i need to into the card
3. disk check!
4. stop usb disk transfer mode
5. let android complete its remount and look out for errors in android's notification area.
6. if errors found, be prepared to return to step 2. see next steps for clarity.
5. connect the cable again and see if the data i wrote is still there using my desktop's file explorer.
6. if 5 is true, done, disconnect the drive and usb cable.
7. if 5 is false, disk check and repeat from 2.
my theory is: the reason why you see them on the next reboot is because android seems to force stronger and sturdier disk checks on reboot. this often brings back files that should have stayed there in the first place when you copied them to the card. however, i've found such files "recovered" by the android repair utility are often corrupted. i find microsoft's disk check on the desktop much more reliable. it seems to just nuke bad files and/or rename and move them to the "FOLDER.000" style folders in the root of the disk being checked. so this clearly tells you that your last mass-write operation to the card failed and needs to be re-done. step 2 it is! OR reboot and rely on android's reboot initiated disk check and risk carrying corrupted forms of files you just copied and thought were safe to carry!
how can I do the disk-checking?
Method 1
on your windows desktop, with the device connected in usb disk transfer mode, open my computer:
1. right click the usb drive and choose "Properties"
2. go to the "Tools" tab
3. press the "Check now" button
4. enable "Automatically fix file system errors"
5. disabled "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"
6. press button called "Start"!
view the summary and its log when the operation completes to see what problems were corrected.
Method 2
on your windows desktop, with the device connected in usb disk transfer mode, press "Windows"+R on your desktop:
1. type "cmd" (without the quotes!) and press enter
2. a "black" window will appear
3. type "chkdsk <DriveLetter>: /f" without the quotes!
4. replace "<DriveLetter>:" with your actual usb drive's letter followed by a colon, (e.g. "f:")
5. press enter
view the summary and its log when the operation completes to see what problems were corrected.
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.
Since a few days I try to connect my phone on my computer but each time I push the button "activate USB mass storage memory" my telephone reboots. I have the same result when I try to unmount my SD Card from: Options>Storage>Desactivate SD Card.
I tried to Format my Sd Card, to re partition it with Rom manager but it's always the same.
May-be a track: After formating my SD, if i try to connect my phone, every thing is fine. I imagine it comes from the folder ".android_secure" because when it's empty I can access my card but when it's full of my apps I can't, it reboots. Inside of it I have about 60 files for more or less 200Mo.
I even tried with another SD-Card and the result is the same.
May be something that could help: when I connect my phone the debug icon turns green.
Thank you by advance for any help you could give me.
Well, I tried something new after reading several posts in many differents forum.
First of all I tried to de select "USB debug" in "aplication>developpement" and I could connect my phone and see the content of my SD Card. My telephone didn't reboot.
Now, I've found an application called "Multi Mount SD-Card" that keeps me going in the menu Developpement each time to select or deselect "USB Debug". It works fine but I imagine it should'nt be like this.
Whatever, I've got the result I was expecting.
So, you're getting a Force Close when you select the Storage option in Settings, huh? Well, luckily, I discovered a fix!
Firstly, it's your external SD Card. Which, we will fix. However, first let's clarify the issue, just to be sure you are at the right place.
Settings -> Storage
When you click it, you may see it appear for a second, but then it closes and then you get the Force Close error. And no matter how many times you reflash or reboot, it's still there.
Now, you need to connect your external SD Card to your computer. You can do this by:
Inserting the card into a slot in your computer, if there is one
Inserting the card into a card reader connected to your computer
Plugging your phone into your computer and being able to browse it through two drives. You can browse the internal memory, or your external card. However, it is recommened you use one of the above methods
OK, so now, I'm assuming that you can browse your card's memory, right? Even if you can't because it's giving you formatting errors, don't worry. Because the fix will fix that too!
OK, so, now we have to format your card. A badly formatted or corrupted card is actually causing the FC.
So, if you're on Windows, you can use the command line to do it, or just the regular, easy way. Which we're going to do.
Windows
Go to My Computer
Open your SD card and make sure all files are backed up, if any
Right click your SD Card
Don't be an idiot. Double check that it's your SD Card
Click the Format option in the drop down list
Of course, format it. You'll need to select the options, however most of it is done. However, make sure in the drop down list that FAT32 is selected. It works best. You COULD try Ext4 afterwards if you still have the FC error, if you have that option.
De-select the "Quick Format" option in the window. Yeah, yeah. I know it's quick, but just do it.
When it's done, just to be sure, safely remove the drive. The quickest and easiest way to do this is right clicking the SD Card again, and selecting "Eject"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ubuntu (or similar Linux distribution)
Go to the file browser. You can select the Home option in the sidebar to do this quickly
Go on the SD Card, you can do this through the sidebar which lists the folders and such
Back up all your files if any
Open the Dash Home (you can press the Windows key to do this if you have it)
Search for "Disk Utility" and open it. If you don't have it, then, make sure you have the latest version of Ubuntu
In Disk Utility, navigate to the SD Card through the sidebar. It might have in small text "MMC/SD" in it's option
At the BOTTOM, select Format Volume. BOTTOM. Remember, at the BOTTOM. You want to format the volume. I'm not sure about the top format option.
OK, as always, fill the options in the windows. You might want to rename the card and stuff too. It's best to have the Ext4 or FAT32 option selected in the drop down list.
Format it!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, pop the thing in ye phone.
Bro tip:
In Ubuntu, if you're getting the "Drive is busy" error when trying to format it, then, your best bet is to reboot your machine. If it doesn't work still, then reboot again, but perhaps with the card reader or SD Card out this time. Try a variation. If you still have no luck, Google is your best friend. I had this issue, and couldn't get it to work (however I was too lazy to reboot multiple times so whatever). I used Windows in the end, worked a charm. However because I wanted to do it nicely, I used command line to do it, as it's a really good pro tool.
So, hopefully you're not getting FCs now. If you still are, or need help with the instructions, just reply to the post. I'd prefer that you post in this thread than PM me as I get a lot of PMs and a lot to reply too.
