Damaged SD Card

Hi guys,
When today I tried to xfer some files to my SD Card, during the process, the xfering hanged and I unmounted the SD.
Afterwhich, I mount it again and xfered the files to my SD Card.
After unmounting it, my phone prompts that my SD Card is damaged and needed to be reformated.
After reformating, I try to xfer the file again, and after unmounting it, it prompts that my SD Card is damaged again.
Anyway to fix this?
Your help would be much appreciated as I cant flash roms or kernels thru CWM on my phone anymore =(
Maybe the SD was really damaged (hardware fault) when the xfer failed? Also, try physically ejecting and then plugging in.
Once I received SD error and asking me to reformat it. I could not remount it as the system itself unmounted it. Rebooting didn't help... I tried the eject and plug (hot swap) and it was all well with all data intact.

"SD Card Safe To Remove" issue

My phone keeps saying that the sd card is safe to remove and i have no access to any files or anything. When formatting in CWM it says no sd card detected and when i try to mount USB storage it just loads endlessly. Help please?
Actually I fixed it. Anyone with same problem, format your SD from the phone's storage settings (not CWM).
Sent from my phone... AND WHAT

External sd card cant be detected

Hi guys,
My external sd card suddenly cant be detected by both my phone and my computer
I tried flashing to many different roms and still no hope
Any suggestion please? :crying:
Thanks!
Connect your SD card via card reader to PC and try format it. If you don't see files or PC don't see this card - it can be damaged.
Card reader u mean the card adapter? i don have 1 of those
and when i connect my phone along with the external sd in it
the phone recognizes it as removable disk H but i was not able to open it
does this mean its not damaged?

The file system (partition) on SD card is broken - you need format SD card

Any other method to actually format it without the card adapter?
The easiest way is connect card via card adapter to PC and check that card and files are visible. If card is recognized but you can't access to it you need format it.
You also can do this in your own phone: in settings - memory - try disconnect external SD card and then erase/format external SD card.

formating/erasing options depends on which rom you use.
When you connect phone with PC and tap mount SD card (or something like that) on phone screen, you should see card on PC - can you see it? You write that it has assigned drive letter H - right click on that and format it.
I tried that it says "theres no disc in drive H:" Please insert a disc and try again
try mount SD card with and without USB debuging.
try format SD card via recovery
If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem.
i cant erase my external sd because its not detected
the recovery cant mount it because the external sd is not found
trying with and without debugging also didnt work oh my god
i don really understand the last option though
"If you have different SD card try it to eliminate ROM/settings problem."
In your case there are two posibilites:
1) sd card is damaged - logically (file system/partition) or physically
2) phone is damaged - logically (ROM bug/phone settings) or physically
If you put other SD card in your phone and phone will see it and you will have access to files from that SD card you can be shure that phone is ok
