Unrecognized Card message. Please Help!

I have a xda1 and 1 month ago it suddenly refuse my storage card. When a card inseted, a message appear: "Unrecognized card: Enter the name of the device driver for this card. For more infomation, see the card manufacturer's documentation".
I have tried some rom upgrade: xda developer special edition; kitchen rom, O2 original rom... but nothing better.
I have tried some cards: sd 128, mmc 256 (Kingston), mmc 128, mmc 32..
After that, I think that the hardware might fault, so i did following the guide in this pages, i tried to back up boot & CE to sd card and upgrade from SD card. Every thing OK.
I can't do any more. Can anyone help me to resolve this problem? Is there any driver for storage card for XDA? Please help me.[/b]

I think there 're problem in my regestry because yesterday I 've changed some value in reg. and suddenly My xda can see the card!
But after that I turned off the xda and charged the battery and the problem occured again. I don't remember the value I 've set.
Can anyone who use the same xda have me? Can you save your current registry on your xda and send it to me? I need a standard registry file to compare with mine and I hope that can fix my Problem. Please give me that file on this pages or via email: [email protected]Thanks for your support![/url]

2 gb sd card

can anyone help? ive just brought a 2gb sd card and my o2 xda iis wont read it? is there a patch or software to help?

2gb cards are general ones any pda can read them if u r getting any problem try some other cards on ur pda, if they works repalce the 2gb asap.

tried a 128mb card and it wont read that either...

Make sure the card isn't a SHDC-type of card (most likely not, but one never knows).
Does the phone even see the card, or does it just have problems reading it?
Tried reformatting it in the phone? A known issue is many programs on a stand alone computer will try to format SD cards as drives (floppy or otherwise), which is the wrong formatting for flash devices.

no its not a shdc card.. ive no idea how to format the card in my phone ( a o2xdaiis), it shows the slot in use but no storage card

Well, you can format it from your computer using a card reader and the flash formatter software from panasonic, or you can get an evaluation version of various different programs for the PPC platform that will do it as well.
Google for it, there are a lot of different ones and I've only ever used the panasonic software and a usb card reader.

not hain any luck .. got a flash card programme but my xda wont read any memory cards at all

If the cards are readable with the computer and/or other devices but not in the phone, I would suspect a hardware or potentially software problem with the phone.
Has the phone been able to read any cards at all, or is this the first one you have tried?
Have you tried backup up your data and hard resetting the phone?

tried a 128mb card and the 2 gb.. it reads the slot in use but no memory card ..think the problem may well be the phone... it had mobile 2003 on when i brought it have now upgraded to mobile 6 and still donrt work

Can't format selected storage card. Check if your card is unlocked.

Uprgaded from v2 to v4 of Leo's soft. And now can't format my 4 SDHC card ;(
edit: using Resco.
And yes, read the forum but nothing found about this.

So you made NO CHANGE (V2 to V2) and now can't FORMAT your card?
Formatting is not something that you do in the phone is it?
Are you sure that it is seated correctly - take it out and put it back in?
Can you write to the card with a computer?
Bill

soory, to v4 i meant. Yes, Can write to the card with my PC. I pulled it out many times, flashed also.
The icon of Storage Card has something like sim card on the half of it? Why it is so.
It is no big issue that can't format it, but to save time when need deleting all files it is inportant.
Any other suggestions ?

why are you formatting the card in the phone? why not format it via PC ?

not having card reader.

Totally lost here...
You imply in your message that you had version 2 of this ROM and that the card was in the phone and worked flawlessly - no issues.
You imply that by simply upgrading that you cannot FORMAT the card now. Can you read from the card and write to the card in this new ROM? or is this card magically DEAD now that you have upgraded?
I am assuming that you REMOVED the card when upgrading and possibly that you took a static charge hit on the card while it was out of the phone?
Or that you did NOT remove the card - please note that recently (last couple of days) I remember seeing that someone ELSE messed up their card by leaving it in the phone while flashing a ROM update.
Bill

Upgrade my v2 to v4. Pull out my sdhc card and sim card. And then when tried to format my card using Resco Explorer, I get this message
Here it is how looks like:

No idea - here are my current guesses:
1. somehow your card got write protected?
2. somehow the upgrade corrupted your card?
3. the new ROM cannot read cards of that size?
4. something else that I have no idea about.
Personally - without trying to read this card on a PC I would not continue to mess with it. You will FOR CERTAIN corrupt it if you keep trying.

umm.. buy one, they're cheap and handy...
I got one from Brando..
It's out of stock right now, but it was only $12 with $3 shipping anywhere in the world..
---I assume we're talking about microSd card here right?
Product link: http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00293&dept_id=015&cat_id=031

I got a card reader that supports micro SDHC !
So, in the main directory i have a file named EncFiltLog.menc - and this is why i can't format from card reader or ppc. I even can't delete it, what I am gonna do ?

As I understood from this forum and google this file can't be removed after hard reset, right ?

i have this exact same problem too.
using a sandisk 4gb microSDHC
same message using resco and also on L26 V4

Same exact card, same exact problem.
Did you ever figure it out?

Im facing same issue, I think that root cause is within XIP.

i too have the same issue. i opened tom tom one day and tom tom closed on me and the micro sd had lost everything off it. now the card cannot be used.
did anyone find a way to format the card to use it again?

I think you can only format the card on the PC and not on the phone itself, if im correct ive seen a forum post here on xda-dev... (by searching: menc) give it a go and good luck!

PLEASE help with sd card

Ok so i bought this verbatim microSD 16gb class4...at first it worked fine on my xperia x8...but today it just decided to not be located at all...
On my pc the card is working properly with the card reader and i tried another sd on my x8, and it worked too..but the 16gb still wont be located...i tried everything from formating it to reboot etc...i tried the 16gb one on a x10mini but no luck either...
any recommendations?
oh and the shop said that they cant do anything cause this maybe my fault
Please help...

I had the same problem with 8gb class 4.
I did like what you did.
Finally it didn't work, I returnd it back to the store.
What I understood is: class 4 sd cards are not working on our x8.
because I asked the guys here and they were answering that they have a working sd cards on x8 but with classes like 2,8,10 not 4!
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

1Fawwaz thnx for your reply
but i could use it for about 2-3 days...and the same happened with an 8gb card but i dont remember of what class..
any ideas anyone?

[UPDATE]
After many experiments i found out that my card was working with thsd card adapter that SE provided once...the one that is like a usb stick...but with a MicroSD to SD adapter,my card wont be located by my pc...

[UPDATE 2]
The card is working fine on my sony ericsson yari.
also i read through the forum that others are using class 4 and its fine..so i cant see why mine wont work...come on guys..you have fixed far more complicated issues...

If the adapter you refer to is really a mSD to SD adapter then your PC would do the right thing(TM). To read a mSD you need a MicroSD to SDHC (<--!!!!) adapter.
SD, SDHC and SDXC are three totally different standards not really compatible to each other.

Then there you have your confirmation that the card is actually working.
If the X8 and X10 is refusing the card, then you may have hit a incompatibility (EDIT: that's why it is important to either straighten it out with the dealership that you can return the card in case it doesn't work or that you can try the card right there in front of the eyes of the shop dude). The only way would be to swap the card with one of another brand (like Kingston or SanDisk ... I wouldn't buy Verbatim crap).
In theory the X8 should be able to accept mSD's up to 32GB.

True, I used a 8GB Kingston Class 4 mSD with my X8 - worked flawlessly.

thnx for your reply..
my card was working in the begining..so im not sure if this is really an incompatibility...

Question is ...
- If you're running a custom ROM ... you tried another one?
- If you're running Stock ... you tried a custom ROM?
Also ... try putting the card into a _working_ mSD adapter and ERASE the partition that's on it. Then "Safely remove" the card reader / card from your PC and put the EMPTY (unpartitioned) card back into the phone. From there you have two options you can try ...
1. Try to partition and format (FAT32) the card in ClockworkMod recovery and see if it works now.
2. Boot up Android and format the card through Android (I think it's "Memory and Storage" in "Settings")

I tried with both stock and GingerDX...same result...im going to try this and post reply in some minutes..

nothing....i tried to partition with CWM..no luck....
I partitioned it with Partition Wizard..no luck again...
pfff...why it just denies to locate it?i was working just fine :S

I take CWM actually recognized the card even at its correct size.
The last thing you can do now is to look through logcat to see if the log holds any hints about why the card isn't recognized/mounted.
You better do that through adb as it's a medium pain in the rear to do that in the Terminal Emulator on the phone.
If you find something that could be related to the issue at hand post it here; maybe the error message carries something that would give a clue.

Galaxy Note 4 SM910T 4.4.4- Not Recognizing SD Card

Just purchased a used Tmobile Samsung Note 4 SM910T (upgrading from a Tmobile Note 3).
First thing I did was reset the phone to factory defaults with 4.4.4 and got it running. Everything seemed to work fine, programmed the finger print scanner (a nice feature), installed some apps. Seems to work like it's supposed to. Now, time to get the SD Card switched over.
Pulling the SD Card, (Sandisk Extreme 32gb (HC I) MicroSD) from the Note 3 and putting it into the Note 4, the SD Card was not recognized. So I put is back into the Note 3 to make sure there wasn't a problem, everything showed up fine, all files and pics where still there.
So I pulled the battery, thinking the card had to be in the slot upon boot up, I inserted the SD card and powered up the phone again. Still nothing, no SD Card detected. Humm...
I had an old 8gb Sandisk card laying around, popped it into my PC to see what was on it, had some files on there so I tried putting that SD Card into my new Note 4, nothing. Not recognized. I put the old card into my Note 3, shows up fine.
When I go into "Storage" and scroll down to the bottom, "Mount SD Card" Insert SD Card" are showing, but not the normal "Total Space" "Available Space" "Unmount SD Card" and "Format SD Card" even though the SD Card is inserted correctly into the SD Card slot of the phone. I again tested that SD card in my old Note 3, still shows up fine.
I have tried reformating the 32 gb SD card on my PC, trying all 3 options NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT. I even formated in the Note 3. None of those work, I get the same result. The Note 4 does NOT recognize an SD Card at all.
Bad Hardware?
Please help. Thank you

I would suggest installing the SD and trying to see if booting up on a custom recovery you are able to see it. If in fact you can then it might be an error with the ROM and you might need to re-flash it or move to another one. I suggest TWRP since it is the one up to date and has a built in File Manager.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried doing a hard reboot (HOME/VOL UP/POWER) buttons,
clicked on "apply update from external storage" and got a response
"E: failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory) (in red)

if it is new phone and both cards are not recognized then looks like hardware problem. I would try sd card from different manufacturer than sandisk and if there are no positive results replace it under warranty.

Lol he received the marshmallow update 6.0!!!

Do not use Sandisk brand SD cards in the Note 4. They have widespread issues. Go buy a Samsung EVO and it will work.
