Mi A1 corrupted card - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

A couple days ago my phone showed an error in the memory card that in in the end seems to be a corrupted card. I was working away from home and couldn't connect it to my desktop so decided to just buy another memory card and keep using it until I go back home tomorrow ( it didn't work either, will need to do a factory reset probably) and then try to recover the lost data. So far I have used dr.fone, recuva and wondershare data recovery without succes.
I know the memory card is in raw format cause I was using as shared internal memory, but I'm totally lost about how to recover my photos. I'm used to do it from normal memory cards or hard drives, but I don't know if because it was internal shared or what, I can't seem to find a solution.
Is there any other software or an specific way to do this?
Thanks guys!

Storage Card Vanishes

The storage card in my phone has started vanishing. After a reset the card is visible but after a period of time it is no longer visible and can not be accessed, this period can vary from about two minutes to a couple of hours. I have performed a hard reset and that has not helped and when I tried to format the disc using Professional Mechanic I receiving a message saying that it is not possible to format the card.
Is it just that the SD card has become corrupted, if that is the case I will buy a new one?
Thanks
Michael
Try with another card, if you do not get the same problem, then it might be your card's issue. If you face the same problem with another card, I could be your phone's reader problem. I suspect is the card because you can't even format it...
Funny, on friday the same happened to me! Tried a lot, as well to save all data on my HDD, but it was not possible. Somehow several sectors are corrupt, and in the phone the SD disapears when the phone reads certain sectors, eg do a clean up scan with SkTools, or use the media player browser. Then it will be gone.
Today i did send it back to my distributor, as my one is a SanDisk, and they offer 60month of guarantee.
Good luck with your SD!
Try at first to save all Data before you try anything else! Otherwhise you might loose some data...
I have bought a new Micro SD card and everything is now working. Bought a smaller card and will see if that helps and prevents this card getting corrupted.
Well, I used mine a lot in the sd-adapter and the cardreader of the PC. And I read on the web that everyone recommends to use it only via mini-usb. Seems as if otherwhise the damage can come up. So maybe just use the mini-usb. I am so waiting for the replacement, hopefully tomorrow it will arrive!
Exactly the same problem with my Jade and a micro sd sandisk 8Go.
When soft reset it appears but if I try any operation on the sd (read, write, execute ...) it vanished.
I had the same problem friday night. On saturday I tried everything. Hard reset. Flashed a different rom... I was travelling and I didn't have an adapter for the micro SD to insert it on my notebook. When I got home I tried to copy everything from th card to my notebook and I found out some files were damaged. I formated the micro sd thought my notebook and coppied back the files that weren't damaged. After that it's been working fine!!!

may have solved my problem
EDIT : no, still the problem
DID U FORMAT THE SD? IS IT SANDISK? IF YES 2X REPLACE IT ia warranty...
Yes it is a sandisk 8Go.
I just bought a card reader and format on the PC (I was not able to format with all the softs I have tried on the Jade). Everything seems fine.
I've got the same problem. I've been using a Sandisk 16Gb for 8 months in my Jade without any problems until I updated the ROM with the new official ROM from HTC!
HTC were very unhelpful. All they would say is that the Jade can only use up to 4Gb cards. I tried to recover the data, via the USB as it showed up as empty if put in a reader. Tried formatting it but the standard XP tool wouldn't work so downloaded a formatting tool which worked.
It has worked fine for about a month, now its doing it again. I haven't tried a different card but I'm sure its not coincidence that it only started doing this after updating the ROM.
Is there any way to get the original ROM back. I know elsewhere on this site there are loads of ROM's available for flashing but I'm not ready to go down this route just yet. Does it need HSPL to put an original ROM back on?
Thanks,
Woolly.

Paste in memory card

If i want to paste a file in my hd 2 memory card a massege sys : The device has either stopped rsponding or has been disconnected, but if i conncet the memory card to my laptop directly it works normaly. Is there any help please?
weird, my digital camera gave me the same exact problem yesterday while trying to create a folder inside the internal sd card.
Try and connect the device in usb disk mode instead of activesync
I tried it on both but it's the same problem, I formated the memory card and I inserted a new sd card and the problem still, any help please?
Hard Reset
I made hard reset but the problem is still, any help please?
I've had this same problem with different MicroSD HC cards (2x16gb, 1x32gb). I posted a question about it a while ago, and the general consensus was that they were probably fake cards (which is a possibility seeing as I got them off eBay).
I tried soft/hard resets, different ROMs, Active Sync/File Transfer connection modes and nothing worked... it mainly happened when I was trying to copy music. In the end, one of 16gb cards accepted enough of my files for me to get by, so I'm just gonna save up and go fork out for a legit MicroSD card from an electronics store somewhere. Might be the only option.
Google h2testw, that will help figure out if it's a real or a fake card. Good luck.
I could solve the problem by installing another browser and re-download the cabs, and it works perfectly thanks.

HELP: Lost all data on SD card

Suddenly my Hero stop to recognize all content of SD card ...
It happen after disconnecting of USB cable, phone was connected to my desktop in Disk Drive mode before.
Now Hero shows BLANK SD CARD only. PC shows the same.
I have almost 6 Gb of various data there and have no idea how to recover it.
Please, help !
Take out the SD card from the phone, and use a card reader you trust to check it. If it doesn't work with a good card reader it isn't good....
On a more general note, flash memory (like SD cards) is not the most reliable memory, always keep backups of important stuff not on flash memory.
Put the SD in card reader and connected it to desktop PC.
PC tells me it's non-formatted SD card ...
Does it mean I totally lost all data on SD ?
Yes, but data recovery software might be able to get some of it back, in some form or another...
Whatever you do,
Don't format the SD Card, even if it is a quick format.
There's a chance you could recover the files, with different recovery tools. (that could be free at Google if you look for it.)
Or you could buy a professional one. (Might get use for it another time, yes?)
Anyways, those tools don't need a drive to be formatted. Since they look at the partition.
Good luck!
Also, some time ago i had a defect card reader in my computer that reported that all memory cards where not formatted.
Could be the problem,
But after i got a new one, it had really formatted my SD Card into nothing.
And i lost all my pictures, messages etc.
AFAIK it makes little difference whether it is formatted or not with data recovery. You can recover up to 10 formats on standard hard drives but i'm not sure if it's different with sd's.
when computer tells you that it is not formatted, then you can recover it 100% with the tool "testdisk" ... that tool saved me 4 SD cards and 9 usb sticks where my computer told me that they are not formatted just google for an tutorial

How to recover photos after formatted SD as internal storage?

Hello, i own Xiaomi Mi A1 with rooted Android 8.1.0 and i got 32GB Samsung SD Card.
I was using it as internal storage, i wanted to get rid of it to make space for another SIM.
I made sure that there are no apps - Moved everything to internal space.
I checked usage of SD card and there were only system and apps, a said fine, i am ok with deleting and reisntall some apps.
So i formatted the SD card ("Use as external storage")
And then i noticed all my pictures are gone. If i am right, when you use SD card as internal storage, device encrypts the card, then it was formatted.
I immediately took card out of phone. I am still own this device, so is there any way to recover encryption key or something?
Now i am tryin recover files with app PhotoRec, but it doesn't seems to get any files.
Any idea how to get photos back? I don't have updated backup of Google Photos.
Sorry but you have no hope, did they not backup to google photos or did you not have that turned on.
So there is no way to recover content of card and then decrypte?
I did not turn that on intentionally, i thought i am smart enough not to do such a stupid stepwithout backup, lol.
EDL Mode
I had the same problem. I only managed to solve via EDL Mode. On youtube there are several videos teaching how to do it.

Help Post

Hi I wanted to clean the cache partition from stock recovery but accidentally factory reseted my Nokia 6.
The SD Card was formatted as internal storage and now the phone does not recognise it and all the data is stored in there with no access and yes it is not accessible from any computer.
So is there a way to recover those data?
Happened to me last year. I tried a lot of things and lot of searching but sadly, nothing could help me recover the SD or the data. I had to get a new SD card.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
New SD Card isn't the problem the problem is the files within the SD Card. There are some very important files in there.
I have found something (or so) a software called Disk Drill it is a paid software but haven't tried it. Don't know if it works or not
