my phone doesn't recognize the storage card anymore..can sum1 help me revive it?i even tried it on other card readers..but its like the storage card vanished!!! can any1 help me?or is it a hopeless case???
If even your cardreader does not recognize the card then maybe your card is corrupted? Did you try with another card in the phone to see whether the phone makes the trouble?
If your card is the problem you may try with some WinXP or Linux tools to recover it. You may google for them. (once I found a nice Windows-freeware to recover data from a crashed external HDD but don't have it on hand at the moment).
After that you may re-format the card and check for consistency.
I don't know what card you use - but if you use 4GB miniSD, you may noticed that in many cases they won't work stable for long time.
Good luck!

i have an att tilt and twice now it has stopped reading the files on my memory card and wont let me use any of the programs or access files on the storage card. it knows there is a storage card in the phone and shows that memory has been used on it from the files that i can not get to. i think this has happened twice now after hard resetting my phone; however i have tried not doing so with the storage card in the phone after the first time. the only way i was able to correct this was by reformatting the storage card but that meant i lost all the files, i have tried using rescuepro deluxe because thats what sandisk would have told me to use to recover files off a damage harddrive but that didnt work at all as it wouldnt look toward the storage card when i put it into my computer. i am wondering if there is a way to get my phone to recognize the files on the storage card again, i cant view anything when i go to file explorer-->storage card....i really dont want to have to reformat the storage card again because that means i lose all my files and stuff if anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks

Does anyone know why Android would see the sd card as damaged and the card be fine?
Like I turnoff usb storage and then it will not use the card but if I reboot into recovery I can mount it and copy files fine as well as put it in a card reader and it is fine there too?
Any ideas on how to fix this without a complete format?
Happened to me too once. Everything looked fine even in recovery. My pc could recognize files when I mounted and everything. But in phone it said damaged SD card.
I copied all files to pc, reformatted and all is well...
since there is no damage to the card there has to be another way to do it though. That is what I am saying.

Not sure how much your card worth for you but if I where you I would take the 5 minute and remove the card backup and format it...
Flash can easily get corrupted it usually happen when you move the card from one device to another without proper stopping and even for no reason at all!
Can you explain me why you think the card is good if the hardware tell otherwise ???
The first time I rebooted my Nexus One it told me the card was unreadable and offered to format it. Since there's no way (I can see?) to remove the card without removing the battery, I rebooted the phone, put it in my laptop, ran a filesystem check, no problems. Put it back in the phone and booted, haven't seen the problem since.

Because my computer has no problems with card at all. Data can be moved around and read just fine. Just the phone thinks there is a problem. I am guess that something is telling android there is a problem when no other device sees it. That is why I believe the card is fine.
Same problem here, let me know if you've found a solution
i've had that same problem. just fully formatted it..16GB card.
Hi, basically I put my 512mb micro sd card in to my X1 and then check if it is working, but it says Not Installed.
I tryed another card and same problem. I have formatted to fat32 and still same problem. But when I put my phone in to Disk Transfer it says insert memory card etc. but on my Windows machine it shows me the memory card.
It seems like software to me, is there anyway of fixing this?
I have also installed the HARD SPL to install a new ROM but unable.
Anyhelp is great
I made the mistake when my phone froze today to pull out the battery, instead of waiting for an automatic reboot. Now my phone complains that my external SD card has an invalid filesystem, or is blank... when i press that notification i get the option to format the SDcard, but i just moved all my applications to my SDcard 3 days ago, which would make me lose everything.
Is there a way to recover it without losing all its content?
I've tries a micro SD cardreader for my computer, but either the cardreader is broken, or my computer doesnt recognise the card at all...

In that case NO but a format may recover the card though it could wipe all data .

And computer cant recognize the files either?
Then I'm pretty sure there's nothing to do.
so far ive found out that my laptop sees the card, but i cant access the files on it. it looks like the filesystem got corrupted or wiped or something, because looking at the properties of the card it sais: filesystem: none.
i found out about testdisk, and will try that out overnight. its a 16 GB card, so that is going to take a while.
Recuva free ware may be worth trying to recover files if card can be seen

If you don't find other solution, put the card in an adaptor and just copy them to the PC.
Have you by chance deleted a folder called external SD from your memory card, coz it formats your sd card. Try recovering files from sd card through connecting it via some other usb card reader.
there are programs, that can save the photos even if you format a disk or in this case a sd card...
let me find one for you,,,, don't know if it works...read in here...
http://www.easeus.com/resource/sd-card-format-recovery.htm.
of course there must be other programs better and free, I really don't know if this easeus is of any good...
never tried...
you must have a sd card reader in your pc of course...
thx guys
i tried to use other adapter and i find no change as i still can not found the sd card via pc.
i sure that i have not delete the file of external SD, it keep showing Blank SD on my 4x.
i am really frustrated about that...:crying:
Maybe sdcard got corrupted. Try formating the card from your phone if it gives you the option. I dont think this will be repeated.
sad..
in fact i dun care about do the sd card can function after all.
i just wonder can i get back my file:crying::crying:

may be your sd card has corrupted or it is fake, how long are you using it?
once i bought a fake 16gb card it worked good for few days and then the same situation as you are in. and i found no solution to recovery my files as it becomes strange, files are there but you can't use them anymore, can't delete them or copy them.
try using some partition manager after inserting your card into your pc and check if your card is there, and it's status.
if your card is fake, i have no solution,
if it's corrupted, it can be brought back to life by formatting or using other partition recovery tools i think.
i dun know whether it is fake or not, but i have used it for around half a year already.
i dun care whether it can come alive i just want to get back my data.
today i have send the sd card to a engineer, he said he fix it but it cost a large amount of money and i am not able to afford it.
and then he recover the sd card to the original situation.
it means that there must be a solution for it.
can anyone help:crying:
i had the same problem too. my 32GB went on and off after i dropped it from 1 meter high.
i used these two recover as much as my files as possible.
