earlier today i checked my phone out, i have apps2sd, and out of nowhere none of my programs could be recognized. I got an error saying that the card was blank and unreadable. So i formatted it with windows vista. When I did that the paragon partition manager couldnt move or repartition the card. SO i tried deleting the partition that the Windows put on the card so that way I could repartition it in Paragon later and hopefully have it work but now windows wont recognize my card! What happened and what can I do now! arg help!

I've used SD Formatter a few times. It helped when Windows wouldn't recognize my card either.

I have had similar issues to this. I just formatted it in the phone and it formatted the entire card and got rid of the ext2 partition, then my computer read it fine and I was able to format to fat32 then re-partition it with paragon
But my problem is that not my computer or my phone is recognizing my card. I tried the sd formatter and even that didn't work. Its like I removed the way that the card would even be bootable. Its a class 6, 4 gb card so I want to get it back. Idk whats going on. It wont recognize it at all.
Im having the same problem I think, my phone reads the card fine, but Windows doesnt, and I reformatted it as an FAT32 and Windows still wont pick it up this wuld really help since I jus bricked wit the new SPL and I had the new radio, how gay
happened to me.
open up paragon and see if you can format it...
if it shows up and it wont format then atleast try to assign a drive letter to it.
after i did that i inserted the card into my phone and restarted the phone.
the phone recognized that the card was not properly formatted and then it formatted it.
after that your computer should be abl to see the card and you should be able to reformat into ext2/fat32 combo if you want
or atleast thats what i did.

That's sounds gr8 and I would definitely do that, but paragon nor windows even recognizes tht there is something in the sd card slot. When I put the card into the phone it doesn't even know tht there is a card in it. Do you think I would have better luck if I place the sd card in the phone and plug the phone with the usb cord into the computer?
Something else just occured to me, after you said to assign a drive lettter to the card. It might nt have a letter assigned to it so tht might b why it won't show up on the computer of phone. Is there a way to assign a letter to the sd card w.o. it appearing on the computer? Or a way to manually tell the computer that the card is there?
Try using the defualtly assigned letter to do a fromat directly from a cmd prompt with administrive privliges. That worked for me even when windows didn't recognize my card.

Ok tht sounds like it might work. I guess I woulf use f:/ as the default letter right? Thts what it was before it started doing this houdini thing. And how do I use the command prompt to format the card? Remember tht nothing happens. I've tried to use 2 different computers to discover the card. One does nothing and the other starts to freeze wen I plug the card in. I'm also using a memory card reader.

Something of use from M$ themselves
If that's what it was using b4 then ya probably go with f:. Open a command prompt and input format F: it should ask you if you're sure. Say yes and its done.. I would actually try using the computer that freeze's just don't try and access the card, only try the format.
GoodLuck!!!!
Im trying to do the formatting thing on the command prompt but it says that the specified drive does not exist. im really lost. How to i get my sd card back now?
how old is your card? its possible it is dead, especially if you're doing apps2sd, all the read/write cycles will shorten the life of it.
you may also try clearing the partition table with a linux command:
busybox dd if=/dev/full of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1k count=1
do this under adb shell or terminal with the SD card in and you should have a "new card". pull the card out and plug it back in. now you can format the card using the phone or a computer, then follow the steps to partition it again.

I only got the sd card about 2 weeks ago and its been working fine until now. I also asked Marcusmaximus what the damage was to the sd card if I applied the dalvik-cache and the apps2sd to my card and he said it was minimal.

I tried your command in the adb shell and in the terminal of the sd card and it responded back on both devices
C:\sdk\tools>adb shell busybox dd if=/dev/full of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1k count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
I tried to format the card after and the computer nor the phone would recognize the card still.

I did try this before I post. After I used the command and put the card into my card reader, Windows immediately asked me to format the card.
I think vold may interfere with this process though, try this under recovery mode if you can.
Do you mean for me 2 restart the phone and place it in the mode with home and power buttons pressed. Then do the alt x command? Sry bit of confusion when u say recovery mode.
try...
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management.
see if it picks up your sdcard there, if it does, format it to FAT and restart what you did.
if not, get a new card, i don't see another way.
try turning on USB Debugging from your phone and then re-connect to your computer and if your computer doesn't read it try rebooting your phone!! this process worked for me!!
1. Turn on usb debug
2. reboot(both comp and phone)
3. connect to comp
walla!
well it worked for me!
Title says it all. I unmounted as I should have before turning off USB storage, but when I unplugged the USB cable, it said I have a damaged SD card and that I may need to format it. I hit the OK to format and nothing happened. I tried rebooting and nothing happens. I'm rooted with CM 3.9.7 mod, A2SD, etc. I've tried flashing the recovery, etc, but it can't mount the SD card and so fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

do you have a card reader for your computer?
No card reader for my computer.
do you have another phone or device that you can put your sd card in and connect to your computer
yeah, a Dash.
I've run into this problem before. Rebooting the phone. without selecting the format usually fixes it. I think it just happens when the SD card fails to unmount properly.
If you have an update.zip on the SD Card..try applying it through the recovery menu. If it says it fails to mount the SD Card over and over, then your SD Card probably is actually damaged.

Is there any way to fix the card? Like I said, I've got an HTC Dash running WM6 that I can put the card into and connect to the computer. Is there anything to be done?
try to format it from the dash through computer, but im not familiar with dashes
I think I may have figured it out a bit.
The Dash wouldn't recognize the 8GB SDHC, but I fortunately still had the original 1GB, which it did recognize. I was able to transfer the CM 3.9.7 onto it and boot in recovery mode and reload the update.zip file. I'm currently booting up and once that's done, I'll do what is necessary to put my 8GB card in, format it and then try to make everything work again. Suggestions?
you want to use the 3.97? that rom is still experimental. maybe you should use the 3.6.8.1 rom

That's about it...
I usually keep a back up of everything just in case.
Also, for your usb card reader problems...

he might want to try the stable rom though
My plan succeeded! I'm now waiting for the Market to let me download my apps again. It let me download a couple, but stopped for some reason. It's happened before, so I'm not too worried. If I should be, let me know. Thanks.
ok sounds good
For some reason, Google Talk was disabled. I enabled it and voila, everything's all good!
Hi
until last night whenever I plugged in the O2X to my PC I got 2 different partitions up for the SD card.
today only one SD partition shows up. the other partition, that I used to save music etc. does not.
Android can read it as I can still access my music. But on my PC I cant get it to show up anylonger.
Would anyone know why?
SD card
I have a mostly similiar problem. Today a connect my P990 to PC via USB and it cant mount my SD card. I tried everything and I figured out that the problem isnt in my PC but in phone is something wrong... Normally the android is mount sd card and it works fine just, when I plug phone to pc via usb is cant load sd card, its mount only internal memory. I really disapointed and I dont know whats wrong :/ sorry for my bad english.
problem solved:
just had to remove the card and re-insert it.
sorry for that easy fix, im kinda new and didnt think of it first.

good luck

Hello guys!
I've got a Galaxy S i9000 and i have a 8GB microSD. I used that SD card on my Xperia Play (sold it, but without the SD) and after i got the Galaxy I put my SD in it. Everything worked well, it recognised everything... but today I wanted to put some music on my SD and i noticed that it loads very slowly, and after that i got an error which said: "the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error". And I got that error everytime i tried to copy/paste something from/to my SD.
So I said, ok, I'll just format it. I formated it in recovery, and everything wen well...it was fast again so i just tried to copy some music (2 or 3 GB)...but when it was at 80-90% i got that error again.
I searched on the Internet...and found SD Formater and I used it to format my card again. And after it finished I rebooted my phone. After it loaded a notification came up... "SD Damaged"...i tried to format it again in recovery but nothing changed.
So does anyone know how to fix it? Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
PS: Sry for my English and for the long post.
Try to format the SD card in your Computer or another Portable Device like a Camera, External card Reader etc.,
Always safely remove USB & try to enable USB debug mode.
